to saudi arabia but 1st let's go straight to the site of the lying 3 pipeline in minnesota a project that's been described as cultural genocide on native american land as iconic actor jane fonda joins protest as calling on u.s. president joe biden to counsel the project tribal attorney from the cutting 1st nation tara who joins me now from the pipeline in park rapids thank you so much i know you're holding the phone there in minnesota it looks amazing out there but actually it's not been amazing has it just explain why native americans of stood alone jane fonda is protesting the line 3 pipeline say jane fonda is out here in solidarity and support with indigenous people who have been leading an all out struggle against embers as line 3 tar sands pipeline it's a project that is almost a 1000000 barrels of tar sands a day coming out of the border canada set to go through the headwaters the mississippi river to the shore of lake superior the great lakes are 5th the world's remaining freshwater and it passes through dozens and dozens of wild rice beds on

its way which is the heart and heart beat of our culture and our people so we've been out here for 7 years now fighting this in the regulatory systems in the courts and now in night in the actual woods and on the land. playing our bodies and turning the machines we spoke to sunrise movement spoke about through j.p. made last week but it hasn't been getting much press attention around the world obviously you have to like jane fonda being the man that local media in the us was covering it what why is it so crucial not just to the united states to native americans but to the whole world it's about this overall problem that we have that we're all spacings together which says climate crisis climate change and the irrevocable impacts that are happening rather well there is a helicopter past there i have right now. that it's only. sorry i have to actually document what's happening in real time of course just tell

me about the arrest is it private law enforcement is it local enforcement obviously the authorities do not want you protesting this pipeline snow and actually myself when i really do continue our bad were not arrested we were served with summons after the fact with like almost half a dozen charges and a very clear attempt to silence the dismiss women that have been forward facing in this campaign and fight against line 3 there have been almost 200 arrests now at this point of people out in 40 below 30 below temperatures chain themselves to machines crawling into pipelines crawling on top of pipelines doing everything and anything that we can just often delay construction of this terrible projects this is something that's being fought in the legal systems by 3 different tribes so embers keep saying over and over again and they said right after jane fonda went on m.s.n. b.c. well we've been consulting with tribal nations and that's what we've been doing since the tribal nations are suing here you know naming it it's obviously not great consultation when you're being sued they don't agree with here we don't agree with

you we want you off our land and out of this territory and we want to take your dirty fossil fuels and keep them in the ground like that's what the earth needs that's a human's need where it is a situation of climate crisis and to build a 10 percent expansion of the tar sands that's what line 3 is. just that single pipeline project 10 percent expansion of the tar sands the dirtiest fossil fuel in the world it's time for change and we're looking for biden to do something about it because he says he's going to be the climate president so it's a trans national pipeline all the way including the united states and canada there and it's a bi project in a way because it's an obama era pipeline and you know enbridge says that actually environmental impacts related to the construction of the pipeline will be primarily related to temporary disturbance to land wetlands and water bodies and obama of course wanted it to happen because it will protect the environment that alone jobs yeah they always go for this this route of you know protect the environment because

the old line is leaking it is about jobs you know these very creation of jobs what the reality is is that you. shouldn't start from the threshold of we need this pipeline in the 1st place instead of replacing it pull it out of the ground pull the old leaking line out of the ground and transition away from fossil fuels that's what all this climate crisis and all these different climate folks are saying is we need to transition away from fossil fuels so building one of the largest tar sands infrastructure projects in north america tripling the capacity of line 3 has nothing to do with that it's a brand new project in a brand new routes and bridges current route is full of pipelines and that's why they want this particular route they they have it going through hundreds of untouched wetlands we're talking over $800.00 wetlands and $200.00 bodies of water they want that route because there's nothing else senate and so they can build 4 more pipelines that's their plan that they've admitted to in the process and as far as it being an obama you know era pipeline there are pieces of it that were considered any obama administration but that the projects water crossing permits

were issued under trump that is this that is absolutely 100 percent what ember doesn't want to talk about the 4 of 4 water crossing permits which is what this is all about for a lot of northern minnesotans the hundreds of bodies of water including the mississippi river one of the most famous rivers in the world shots was done on a trump and there was never a federal environment and viral impact statement on the army corps of engineers so that's what we're asking for that's what we're looking to buy and for while it's bidens d.o.j. saying that things will be better if this pipeline is built and your right way you are is with the ludus in loomed oil spill in history happened and in the usa you don't want that to happen again right i mean where we were actually the president was discovered happening again. there were 70 arrests over when people were praying . in commemoration of the largest and the spill in u.s. history which was by ambridge which was along these rivers and routes that we're

talking about. the answer to a continuing problem is not to continue the problem building more pipeline infrastructure for fossil fuels and the expansion of the fossil fuel industry is not in the best interests of humanity it's not the best interest of all living beings on earth that's what we're saying if ambridge is hell bent on creating new jobs create thousands of jobs decommissioning your old line and remediating the incredible amount of harm that you've cost of the soil here already you don't put in a new pipeline that's going to spill in new leaks and new places that's just that has nothing to do with trying to protect the environment and everything to do with expanding the fossil fuel industry most of this is even for us and that's part of why it minnesota department of commerce is suing minnesota for mrs public utility commission so the state is actually suing itself that's what's happening because they couldn't prove their city to get of need they couldn't demonstrate that the oil was from minnesota they can demonstrate that the risk is needed for minnesota ok well at the federal level i mean jane funder of course associated with the

democrats i mean you think biden will listen to you and the hundreds of protesters he got one nuff $1000000.00 in donations from fossil fuel industry sources why would he listen to somebody. so he's done this thing with keystone x.l. and he's in a position himself very strongly and vocally as the climate president that was one of the 1st things he said and i think that's because the democratic party recognizes that climate is the number one issue for young voters that said. how do you sit there and have something like this on your plate how do you be responsible for the largest tar sands infrastructure project in north america while you're the climate president we have been meeting with the white house regularly actually have another meeting with them to discuss line 3 into this custom code access pipeline was also needs to be decommissioned these are not things that are going to go away we are going to continue to resist and continue to get war jane fonda's and celebrities and whatever it takes for the national spirit to listen and hear us

when we're talking about no more and that includes indigenous rights as well if he's going to make this huge change and have depth hollymead a 1st cabinet position ever for a native person there has to be more than just that acknowledgement there has to be a respect for indigenous treaty rights and for what we're trying to do which is protect our own land i was going to get on to the senate confirmation of death but island last week i mean does that make a big difference is the 1st native american a cabinet member i should say i'm speaking to you 399 years to the day of the jamestown victory or massacre depending on you see it when chief pilot and said your coming is is is to invade my people and possess my country some people said it's a cultural genocide that will only as you said human extinction dimension we are making steps forward hollins confirmation is historic and now it's the 1st time since this country began that there is a you that there's

a native american sitting in a cabinet position and and no i have a personal relationship with dab i endorsed her for the for her original run in new mexico as a congressional seat for a congressional seat. that said a part of the interior actually doesn't have a lot of say over particular projects like this. but she still has an enormous amount of influence right as a cabinet member as says gina mccarthy who was obama's environmental protection agency head so you have some of these characters that have been recycled as well. lot of fracking went on obama and the county access pipeline happened under obama as well people forget that piece like it wasn't just trump when it came to dakota access all of that happened mostly under obama i mean i say this is a person that worked in the white house e.q. under obama i was i was my 1st internship at n.b.c. that happened in that administration because when it comes to climate when it comes to the environment that tends to be one of the issues i think that democrats have

always bargain with they've always taken the same sides oftentimes as republicans and conservatives because their campaigns frankly are funded by the same folks or at least have donations from similar groups special interest groups like that i think joe biden is trying to signal a change because he recognizes what voters want that said i mean. putting in some progressive members like ted holland is a step in the right direction but what's happening globally in the world with rising seas with massive fires and you know we're talking like the whole western half of like the united states being on fire now for like a big significant portion of the year it's happening climate crisis is happening and these little incremental steps are just not enough to address the problem over here in britain there's been a huge conversation about male violence to women i understand there are some allegations denied by precision pipeline one of the contractors we have said they

remain steadfast their commitment to compliance with human rights they've been allegations about human sex trafficking associated with the building of a pipeline. unfortunately we warned the state about this because it happens in every single situation in which there's an infrastructure project next to native native places which tend to be rural places. when we're talking about fighting it through somewhere that people don't see it's next to reservations it's next to small rural communities as i speak with you right now there are 5000 people in northern minnesota 5000 workers most of them are from out of state emergency fell woefully short on employing local people and that means there's all these temporary man camps that are created we're talking hundreds and hundreds of workers that are living and working together and his temporary facilities and where they're going to go they're going to go to the communities that are next door that means an uptick in sex trafficking and smile and crimes and

drug use in all kinds of societal ills that come with doing what's in to human we there was a sex trafficking ring that was just busted over in grand rapids and 2 the people in it were embers employees amber said well they've been fired and we do this we did this training for employees to make sure that they understand the risks of missing and murdered indigenous women and relatives that they know about this you know. sensitive issue area as i understand it from a former embers employee who's been speaking out they got a half hour training on that is just a minor little blip and to coming into a territory that's not your own to destroy territory that's not your own well ambridge say they they fully comply just finally you've been in d.c. and you're there on the ground and and their native american why do you think it is that the squad say or some of the younger democrats in here in washington putting this whole thing to stage given that you're saying this implicates the

future of the entire earth let alone native american communities what why aren't they talking about this all the time i know that people are talking about the minimum wage in the mobley 9 trillion coronavirus plan. actually congresswoman omar has been in this camp she's been where i'm sitting right now and she's part of that squad and she's been very very vocal about line 3 and about the violations to indigenous peoples and indigenous rights and so there are folks who are in her corner and we see a more progressive movement happening within congress and within our elected offices around the globe not just here in the united states. but at the same time they're still whole slug of the old way of doing things the way that's the status quo and this is how we've always done it at the same time the people's power is what's is really pushing all of this and i'm calling you from the same state minnesota that is also about to be to lose with george floyd murder trial while

these social injustice issues are being led by the people so it's to me it's just an issue of the people being empowered and the people finding our voices and using them to push these others decision makers to do the right thing to risk a thank you after the break we go to yemen at present the site of the west humanitarian crisis in the world. war. going to show us the weapons you can close to your proposal rights watch that crowd doubt across the progress. of us or a true ogre in vehicle coming out that when they get is that those. that those there person who are. not scrappy i'm to you not like your president still can

always sell some basic lung and that showed us to the piece kid that building is up on the beach and thinking about it and left the u.s. capitol mostyn up yet you actually decide you play it back yet there is that yeah this. i'm born here in washington and new on. the faith. and so on looks mean all of. the shuttles. new thought of that if you should get a job you i gave a review. of the store and. i made me a copy of night. he said working with another you can be a billionaire. welcome

back tomorrow marks one year since u.k. prime minister boris johnson and else the 1st coronavirus lockdown here something he blames for his decision to slash aid to the world's worst humanitarian crisis yemen nevertheless british bombs that land on yemen continue to make money for britain let's go straight to yemen's capital to hear from journalists on the ground hussein hussein thank you so much for coming on as i said the u.k. continuing to sell weapons which he used in yemen we've now got nuclear weapon ambitions to increase our nuclear weapons stockpile what is the situation there on

the ground in yemen right now this situation since abide in place as but it didn't actually become wards especially. that is the thought they have blocked. all fuel ships that comes into yemen through who they doubled to and. here the hospitals on many businesses are closing on there are many calls here for them for an hour to allow fuel to come into yemen because you know that everything in yemen or any country depend on fuel on the last few a ship that has entered. the port was in the 27th of. january just a week after biden was reachin as a president on this show you that actually that that biden administration is no different from the but i 3 student from. time in the usa they have not blocked. with this type of amount the old the ships to come into yemen and

a symbol for anyone who wants to check the ships that are blocked from yemen they can use married on the show you the are mount of suffering that yemen's go through on the same time we see that there are more. struck with the saudi arabia especially with the united kingdom who has increased the sales of weapons to saudi arabia but in the same time they have cut aid to come into yemen does show you the amount of hypocrisy that. there is clearly and britain policies in the region and especially in yemen joe biden says he is ending support for saudi offensive weapons so there are no bombs behind you dropping by the united states today yet maybe there's no bombs dropped on for hours today but there are tens of bombs on dozens of air strikes from saudi arabia conducted on

yemen in other areas they might have stopped every now and then on sun i'm very reason for that is because that yemeni army here in sanaa is continue to strike a saudi capital. on to strike other area that's why saudi sometimes they try to avoid to target the capitol but was hurt in yemeni the most is the closure of some airport and the closure of how they don't port which is the lifeline as the united nations have said for 70 percent of yemeni population comes through what they did i'm at this point there is a total. closure of that area but i want to i want to mention that there will be biden said that he will stop they have not stopped the commander of the u.s. army in the region 2 weeks ago have said that they are still studying those who have been says to saudi arabia united arab emirates and he said we find some difficulties because someone has been which are to attack they could be considered

as a defense weapons and united states has clearly said they will continue to defend saudi arabia and saudi arabia declared the war on yemen because they say they want to defend themselves from the threat that comes from some hour as they say from the hoses i can promise you as a united states will stop although i have been says to saudi arabia or to the united arab emirates the war will end in a matter of days or weeks because saudi cannot continue with with the united states fueling the. fighter jet to strike yemen they saudi cannot actually enforce a full blown case on yemen only with the help of the united states saudi cannot actually use the past u.s. missiles to defend themselves they cannot. coordinate their strike on yemen only with the help with the u.s. and british drones that's why this involvement is still going on yemen and here we will know that united states stop its support to saudi arabia if we are not here in

any airstrike on any corner of yemen bahrain returns or millions face arguably in yemen with the special envoy the u.n. special envoy martin griffiths to. often quoted in the media here. boris johnson's ministers he has condemned the blockade are for data but he says he has concerns about the hooty offensive on mari and in fact he's been. talking about the strikes on their own crew facilities say we're getting a lot of news about this is hitting a room go so presumably biden wants defensive weapons to protect around go on oil resources in saudi arabia to be honest with you martin give it is becoming so biased toward the saudi arabia and his latest statement of peace to the united nation as well his to his tweets he has not mentioned saudi arabia he has

condemned the attack on saudi oil facility he said that they will want to improve human and. to improve aid coming in to yemen and he as well mentioned the strike. days ago he has not say who is behind those strike because clearly saudi arabia and why are so worried about saudi oil infrastructure is because with oil they can have money and then they can actually pay united states and united kingdom for their weapons that's why we have seen in the end the last i think 3 or 4 months that you're ok has announced that they will send a british army personnel with some equipment to help saudi to defend themselves against those attack and to strike but why they have actually targets the oil infrastructure because the i night state and u.k. are broken or fueled rich in yemen but they're actually supporting saudi to defend

themselves to protect the oil because the oil is like the pocket of the safe for saudi arabia and of course it was. responsible for the greatest oil price spike in history lately. strikes trying to seem to be having much effect but i think what more than griffiths may be trying to get with the reports of war nearly a 1000 people may be women and children killed by hoofy strikes on murray already gearing up for its muse actually take most of the attack on the strike that are. conducted against the saudi backed forces in madrid are all. made out of the army or saudi backed forces army facility the half note strike the city but to be honest with you some are when they have actually liberated name of son are close to marriage they have. released and it's just

a false statement they say we will stop the advance i'm very brazen against marriage only if. the marriage government will burn the road between sanaa and marriage because many people has to suffer because they have to go all the way around the world to to. the governor of marriage should stop making marriage city as a base for saudi at hack only on yemen or in sanaa areas or under the control of some our government and they have asked that i ever go they have not accepted that and marriage has become now they are becoming the base of isis and al qaida in north of yemen and this is clearly that the united kingdom and united states support for saudi arabia is a direct support that goes to al qaida and i just i just want to add there are 4 people on the list of the u.s. treasury list for supporting al qaida one of them is of the harbor home i cannae which is the head of the salafi party is in riyadh and he was

a member of hadi government to geneva one on of the world the governor of all job hasn't asked about his own united states or any rest for the terrorists and he's now living he's now in massive fighting. with this groves of side by side with the saudi backed forces so this show you that united kingdom actually is involved in directly in supporting al qaida well in fact we can't confirm any of that and in fairness to mainstream media like the associated press they also said that the saudis or alleged the saudis are cut deals with al qaeda i mean just very briefly you started out by talking about this blockade of the data port is that why marie be so important for the population of yemen i understand 90 percent of liquefied petroleum gas used for cooking and eating comes from is a very important actually the get it because all we will arguably hear about here is the backed by iran this is a proxy war iran is involved in yemen some people say that like the goal of

head of the host is for the oil in market but i mean let's say they control the oil and gas of motive how can we out how can they hated. export that fuel and sell it i mean it is a blockade but their main goal is to liberate matter and their main goal is to defeat saudi arabia inside yemen and as well to do. and to attack them in their homeland and what they say about iran is just lies that they try to spread in the media i mean this is a blue kate i mean that they're out of thought of getting every single small fishing boat both there is maybe in or leave a 2 or 3 meter long how can you know i'm small girl ballastic missile that is 12th metre long and wait a few tons i mean this is this is impossible i mean no one can think of that but they totally ignore that yemeni previous yemeni regime how does stockpile of

weapons and yemen used to be a hub for what been sales to many. regions especially that's why when un salado they took power they they have got so many were. robyn's ana's well they have developed some other weapons and let's be honest with you if let's say that's how the what they are saying is true that iran is supplying weapons to yemen i mean yemen you have the right to get the weapons from anywhere in the war to defend the country i mean so would the weapons is not made inside the yard automate inside or brought thousands hundreds of miles away from you ok from france from the united states so why they are they they don't want him any either to use in the lobbies i mean what they want us to do here in sanaa just a little flour it's a lot of them meanwhile they're out of it i can. get in yemen and i just want to add one more thing you know you have to say that the oil and gas that even you and not it it's about 80 percent of yemeni income over budget and this is true but we

have seen in the latest statement of mr give it in the. u.n. security council he has told about how they did it in you just imagine how they got even you most of the ship that used to come to her day that is that if you will or humanitarian aid and he's talking about this with maybe we'll be only one percent of yemen income and he's ignoring 80 percent of yemen income is in the hands of so got to be on the out not if it be in the salaries for yemenis in that area as well as in albuquerque thank you that's it for the show with michael wins in until the joining of the gun by following us along. the great. big. bill with the meat.

americans. and home. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a home and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history housings man in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is and for .
