on the record for wanting to veto universal health care saying $35.00 trillion dollars that's too much he made. going to significantly raise taxes on the middle class was too expensive i mean i know for our international viewers obviously you have one of the most expensive maybe the most expensive health care system for your taxpayers in the world double. and h.s. here in britain you're absolutely correct i myself currently do not have health care. as of february 1st and so i understand fully what's going on to get you to look through and to see how things work you know the term i don't know for you it is amazing the term deductible it's almost it's the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard in your life that in fact you have to pay out of pocket expenses whether it's $6000.12 'd 1000 dollars 18000 dollars in order to actually be able to get health care you have to pay out of pocket so sir it's your 100 percent correct and

i can only say this there right now that it is absolutely under ceci the limits of the worst demick that we've had probably in a 100 years is extraordinary important that we have a health care that guarantees health care to every man woman child but out of pocket expenses the you know biden changes his mind you think he still thinks in his head that it's too well onerous for the u.s. taxpayer to have a universal healthcare system even joining a coronavirus pandemic which exposes the injustices of healthcare in the united states. the problem with me have is that you know joe biden hangs out with a lot of lobbyists and the reality is i think psychologically with even understand the full extent of what what's going on in terms of the country and that's and that's you know it starts that that's a sad reality and i think that we need to do as you know we have a situation as you know we have a democratic congress you know so you know in missouri we have we don't really have an excuse not to have

a medicare for all single payer health care system there has to be tremendous pressure by the progressive caucus and a lot of people to say joe that the wealthiest country in the history of the world everybody should be entitled to health care yeah but your solutions and activism pressuring congress. as the democrats have done well in this recent election how can that compete with 100. 1000000 or more than donald trump had let alone the fact that. these big lobbyists always you do not want a universal healthcare system because it benefits the current status quo benefits in summer and you make a great point because here's the bottom line but i want to. know many folks we have right now that you know whether 7475000000 supporters a vast majority these folks are not racist sexist xenophobia homophobes these are people ultimately who are desperately in need of a solution so their problems so they thought their truck provided a solution so now we have an opportunity to reach out to these folks and really

just to say that you know you're hurting we understand a lot of people do not have health care or partially in short and we can bring all these folks together and we need to have a progressive media empire if you look directly in terms of twitter or facebook instagram a whole similar selfie my father alexandra costa cortez we have so many folks that desperately was a medicare for all single payer health care system as i talk to people i say you know there's not a democrat or republican problem this is an extraordinary situation that when you talk to folks who are not the donald trumps of the world they can no longer afford their high co-payments deductibles for years and out of pocket expenses. yeah i mean in a sense your dad was saying all this in the primaries what is the point of all this opposition given that given the lobbyist so there i mean there's not going to be a wall street transaction tax even to mitigate against this so-called middle class

massive hike for universal health care what is the point what has been the point of electing joe biden well obviously you know you and your garden because you know a truck truck was an epson an unmitigated disaster and somebody who who was just you know everybody understood that we had to get him out of office just so with joe biden we can work on issues in terms of tuition for public colleges and universities paid equity for women paid family and medical leave a $15.00 minimum wage as well as dealing with the issue of the income and wealth inequality should we have half of america living paycheck to paycheck joe biden is not at all sean he's a reasonable guy i mean i want to get to that to the that all important working class base that you're referring to but so far something in foreign policy terms he's assembled what's been called a who's who of neo con neo liberalism susan rice at the u.n.

every hanes at the d.n.i. and the blinken of course and raytheon 4 were a thier own person lloyd austin. how is how is it you know donald trump because because donald trump as as you're probably aware is they're looking at converting dollars from for impeachment and joe biden while having a lot of problems is not that reactionary is not that conservative is not somebody you ultimate doesn't believe in the rule of law and in and it done in the democratic process. i mean obviously a lot of people might be screaming at the t.v. set that knowing that biden's record is a mass incarceration of killing the senate foreign relations committee would be able maybe iraq war and i don't disagree with you on that at all but the point is we have to store in terms of you know small steps we have to basically understand that about joe biden is going to support a $15.00 minimum wage that's not something that donald trump is going we will and

he and he will definitely do that absolutely. republicans universities i mean these are these are huge issues right we have right now as you're probably aware of very small percentage of people who actually go to college that well these countries history work we need to have the folks that are the most educated that's going to help our economy in innumerable ways right so usually digitally people see different and people recognize that well i mean that shows then that biden is has somehow succeeded against what the lobbyist might want when it comes to minimum wage but you just mentioned small steps i mean you know obviously biden famously came out for fracking in the presidential campaign but i no doubt believe you'll uphold his executive orders hours after he took office what is this about biden saying blinken and others will identify steps when it comes to clean energy they will develop strategies and plans i mean what were the democrats doing during the 4

years of trump if now they're going to start developing the idea of the steps given that you know a lot of people say that the earth will be uninhabitable maybe you no matter what decade. 6 years ago probably 6 to 12 years across much yes that's a great point about induced let me let me just if folks remember by did intro we're arguing in terms of who is going to be a greater frac. you're right your 100 percent right and that's where it comes to the point of bringing in a lot of strong environmental progressive groups to talk about those issues to talk about what's going on in macao county west virginia where 206079 percent of people voted for donald trump and yet they have water that they can't drink in east l.a. we have a very serious problem we're darting asked. but the point is this is to continue to put pressure on joe biden in these areas and as we continue to understand that we

have such a divided government at the end of day we all to we know that we need to have clean air and clean water i think we may make significant steps in terms of taking your job i'd use the end of day basically democrats don't have a lot of excuses as you know biden says a lot of things all the time he says he wants clean air and clean water obviously another thing that's bad for the environment is war he's taken power and there's been bombing of syria there's been a reported u.s. troop deployments back to syria a return to the old obama era of war i mean why why is he sent the u.s.s. united missile destroyer to china china sea why is he saying his friend secretary of state nomination anthony blinken saying we're a long way from there when it comes to meeting sanctions on iran during coronavirus and i don't know he wants what the white know is president of venezuela.

well you know i we're you when we're talking we're talking about yemen as well but what's going on yeah. you know you know where what can i say i mean i'm not going to i'm not really going to speak for you know joe biden tours or i sure sure i mean do you trust them on yemen do you trust them on the world's worst humanitarian crisis because in fairness to blink and he says we're going to stop the weapon sales this is how the arabia this is the guy who 2015 said we have to send weapons to saudi to ball me haven't let me back to me so i do that you're know that it was a bipartisan effort in the past whatever to deal with yemen and as and as a result of trump stopping it we had a real opportunity to do both republicans and democrats coming together of folks like roll call on as well as bernard sanders so i think there's over to you to introduce the war powers act i know that you know roll call ins on board you know you were at sandhurst internally to talk directly about these issues but the reality is basically is this is it yes i mean is the forgotten war before these

people don't know what's going on in yemen right now so i agree with you all really at the end of the day basically that we need to bring progressive together and say that it's absolutely unacceptable what's going on and we need to have radical changes in yemen or where you have so many men women children or are dying you see . to some around the world the fact that your father has not been appointed to a position when he came so close to being the democratic contender for the presidency and maybe the democrat president is a signal to the rest of the world that he has no interest in the politics or he has no interests and no go for the famously with the primary talking about american coups in iran by going to and his team they don't like his foreign policy is not alone has almost universal healthcare while while the why else not appoint him to any major position. well i think as you're presently were you know where right now

he is that is a short of a strong position now in terms of the budget committee so i think it you know as you know it's it was a very complicated dynamic tell me about that tell me about the opposition was just it's just an extraordinary poured it allows you to do with you know the budget and deal with the sick right now we have a scenario where you know if you're in terms of the $1400.00 that the nice nice to be dealt with in terms of folks in terms of stimulus packages either of us $2000.00 well i don't know who some if we can find a $600.00 nissho in there for $200.00 which will total $2000.00 right that's what you sow and there's a real opportunity now i know my father has a lot of power to really talk about the issues that no income and working class folks face every day of life and it's going to be there's a lot of pushback but i feel you know surely confident that in fact that there can be significant changes in terms in terms of what's going on regarding the economy.

ok i haven't heard him much talking about universal health care. since biden was. president i guess it's just i guess you want me to talk about. it as you know if you know he does talk with you if you look on his twitter page he talks directly that is absolute parody of that we have a medicare for all single care all through your taking a very close in terms of the presidential race that you had serious concerns disagreements with joe biden almost. as thank you after the break we'll be speaking to an israeli lawyer and i don't whether international lawyers have any concern to israel. the world is driven by.

the dares thinks. we dare to ask. a duck industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells abilities on the street many of them under-age. police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles we're going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade.

knowing so it would seem that in the beginning. i knew about it in a can matter a canard was nice and a bad national. trend i mean i. just lost book deals on miles on the lawn a little hazy. and the national association. for the house said they could be better but i bet all small and. intimate was one of those in the south although you love the most you know. the feel of a good. shot and know it when i'm. in my name and you have that. welcome

to maximize your financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account . yonks this is what happens to pensions in britain. watched as a report. welcome back in the wake of our special interview with iconic palestinian leader activist and scholar doctor which viewers can watch and i you tube channel there's still a question mark hanging over israel's position of vaccinating a fraction of the population they occupy now to hear from the israeli side of the argument i'm joined by the c.e.o. of almost reporting daniel pomeranz who joins me now from jerusalem daniel thanks so much for coming on just start by asking you whether you've been vaccinated and

you think it's justified the whole world's media rashly major media to be joking about the success of israel in battling coronavirus i asked you what thanks for having me i'm a fan of the show i followed you ever since your al-jazeera press t.v. dates and yes i think you know every positive story we can go to support we want to see more people getting vaccinated people you need more efficiently and if there's anything israel is doing that other countries can replicate it can make the world a better place for everyone then we absolutely should do as much as we can. ok which all begs the question what about palestine that other country on your doorstep is it or inches inside your a doorway i don't know how you describe it 5000 vaccines have been offered to 5000000 people you know think that's violation of the 4th geneva convention has been implied by the united nations and dog going to show in recent days on this

show but no no and you have to understand the full situation 1st of all israel's population is 20 percent arab israeli many of them so identify spell experience $540000.00 actually everyone israel is the same access to vaccinations regardless were most recent legion national origin and regardless of income which just. i think that israel has already even a lot of other modern western democracies where all care is dependent on the ability to afford it but of course as you point out there is another entity there which is the palestinian authority government and it has its own population and it has its own high elation that it serves israel's 1st shipment of $5000.00 vaccinations which is only a beginning makes israel the 1st country in the world to start getting vaccinations to people outside of its own population there are some $124.00 territorial disputes in the world including hostile occupations and even among those countries israel 'd

stands out is the only one to begin vaccinating anyone outside of its own citizens and permanent residents but in addition to that the palestinian authority and you correctly surmise that palestinians do need to have access to vaccines and they should have more access the palestinian authority government under international law has the autonomy to decide whether to accept help or not and now monaco a high level palestinian official announced in a jerusalem post article written by it's really a journalist powered up which army we are not a department within the israel defense forces we have our own ministry of health we provide our own vaccines and working 'd with other countries to get the palestinian authority government has consistently been turning down help from israel despite our efforts except that's because that's before coronavirus i should just say rather than russia and china have been russia and china have been sending vaccines i think. off

a 1000000 is it from china i know but what about gaza hang on there the 5000 vaccines israel is given i mean it's being called the or blood is open air prison camp in the world is israel giving coronavirus vaccines to the hamas government in gaza israel is allowed under international law by the palestinian authorities on rules to suit treat only. with the sole representative of the palestinian people and that the palestinian authority government israel is not allowed to interact directly with gaza only with the palestinian authority government i can't speak to where president abbas of the pals when or why he did why is it allowed why is it not allowed to talk of the democratically elected hamas government in gaza well because the hamas government in gaza was not democratically elected the only government that was democratically elected with the palestinian authority with mahmoud abbas the president it is the only entity that israel is allowed to interact with or really any other country in the world have everything i have my whom alone that i was. allowed allowed who allowed by the palestinian authority

oslo accords and the rules of international law that recognize only one palestinian government buy back your original point which is that the vaccines from russia and russia is doing a fantastic job the sputnik vaccine is producing 4000000 doses shipped to the palestinians it's working closely with israel to make sure that the logistics work to get it there russian sources have said that the hold up in those 4000000 doses is related to a technical issue but they are on their way but in the meantime 10000 doses from russia have already made their way to the palestinian authority with this really logistical assistance and also the. world health organization vaccine 37000 doses are expecting to come in within a couple days so the moment the palestinian authority finally began opening its doors and actually asking for help the help began coming immediately. you see the great success of israel in combat ing coronavirus especially has compared to here

in britain obviously with a much worse death rate in israel and surely the fact that if it's not allowed to give vaccinations to garza israel itself will be threatened because as we know you're only as strong as the weakest link in coronavirus but perhaps if you don't have engineers start giving them to be billing gaza it will cross through the checkpoints and come back maybe mutated into israel absolutely actually it's a real problem and the people in gaza suffer terribly from this there are people in gaza who have been given permission by israel to come to israeli hospitals for cancer treatments and other lifesaving help who aren't being allowed through by the palestinian authority for political reasons and israel cannot let them cross through not just with respect to covertly extremes but any health issues everything actually go through the palestinian where would she be letting them through if they haven't been vaccinated and you're going to get 100 percent vaccination of people

over the age of 16 by march but my point is shouldn't israel urgently instead of dropping bombs on gaza and land invasions using danks shouldn't it be air dropping vaccines well i'm not sure what well invasions you're referring to but there haven't been any in quite some time but i was an the united nations relief and works agency said there were tanks in gaza only in the past few days i'm sorry i know that story is not true and i haven't heard it reported not evolution in r.t.c. . i don't know maybe it was on going underground but my point is far from dropping bombs as israel has been doing during this pandemic why not for its own national security advisor nations well israel is have been dropping bombs during this pandemic but what's important and you are correct not. israel has to be dropping bombs on in the past few days not in the past few days there have been

a number of incidents in the past year in which is rocket launching equipment in order to stop rocket fire from happening but it's been very limited only defensive and responsive but you're absolutely right that israel and the world and united nations and our team the media and everyone have to urgently urge president abbas and the palestinian authority to let that healthcare through let those vaccines through except all the help that's being offered it's a humanitarian issue how much excess energy just should not be getting in the way of this well in fairness to dr shah and on our show she did say it's time for a new car drive leadership in the balance in an authority but presumably you don't agree with her allegation that your country is comparable to south african apartheid i mean i should just add to that i've interviewed nelson mandela don't know whether you want to have an interview and he compared the and to apartheid struggle to the palestinian struggle against israel israel's

a country where arab israeli service supreme court justices and lawyers and doctors and movie stars and everything you can name this is a model for the world to follow and when we allow a genderless political agendas to interfere with telling a good story we missed the opportunity to share a positive way of doing things with countries all over the world who can't stand to improve and one well as i say i'm focusing more though on not on arab israelis but on the occupation do you think it's time to rip up the osmo accords given that some of said that the the oslo accords that mean that israel can't have medical help to the occupied west bank and to gaza that will threaten not only listens but threaten israel with coronavirus absolutely not. the current palestinian government there are regional use also. that scene was actually understandable it was based on pride it was based on an idea that we can provide for our own people

we're not depending on some outside power and we want to show that unfortunately it turns out it may not have been the best decision they quit. the public image they wanted in politics caring for their own people we have to change the priorities within the framework beyond words. what about water shall we were saying as regards the abraham accords in that the so-called arab street is now even more misaligned with the autocratic rulers of arab countries do you believe israel is on the great national security threats precisely because autocrats have diplomatically recognized israel in the wake of a cushion from a course absolutely not not many brantley problems including many journalists then back to work to buy and buy grain and been involved in this process groundswell of support by the rank and file ordinary people from paki drivers the business people

is tremendous i think we can all agree that movie toward more peace in the middle east is better than report last week and i'd even. because not new leaders of the cost of the palestinian people is becoming increasingly isolated in terms of the problems in the world to isolate and meatiness aid or even the arab world no longer had nations for that and there are numerous palestinian activists and opposition leaders who are really pushing to bring the greatest band to the palestinian people including finally agreed peace in the present and for world cooperation between israel the arab world and the forthcoming isabel so you're ignoring what the arab league's parliament said by condemning the diplomatic recognition we are we believe that matter of reckoning we. refused to condemn the arabs who refused to condemn the recognition and well already government made some very long and very hostile statement. which shows just how

i read it and i wouldn't touch that bell of any government not just with the wider world not just with the arab world but we need their own talents to be. well just very briefly with iran still in the headlines by being criticized by his own. followers on the progressive left him in washington do you agree with the mossad or the i.d.f. on iran because apparently. has come under requests as a remark over our attempts to ramp up or rhetoric against iran well you know there's an old expression that really you can quote the other expressions that we have 9 or even prime ministers that number one thinks they're right but what is really important is that the. publicly denounce me are not really experts were making any moves and they're not going to gauge iran's will that they see iran use

include i mean gauging. the world community and not the nuclear i think in fact concern about i really much of what has rightly or 'd and israel together in a positive way and when you have israel in the air need anything you know it's time for was not noticed and into the by. daniel pomerantz thank you and that's it for the show will be back on wednesday to speak to martin luther king jr his daughter about what's next for civil rights movement all of the memory of a father to destroy the racial injustices of our age until then join me on the ground are you to tweet us and presidents young people to telegraph. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have a crazy confrontation of let it be an arms race is on us and scaring dramatic

development going and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful and very critical time time to sit down. in tok. secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been there's 0 there were 2 view houses were our prison was located and the only people have access to the story from investigators held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you grated nor. for. trying for justice on r.t. .
