the cases are put together in front of the icc. icc has been investigating. know, some satisfy my colleagues don't lend legitimacy to the icc, but i tend to think that people around the world who have experienced unjustice need to have a place where they can go. and as a country that helped found the icc and supported it, i think that it is really important for us to continue to find ways in which people can find justice around the world. >> some of your fellow house democrats have been frustrated, as you know. they've told you this publicly, and i'm sure possibly privately. because they want to join you in your fight for justice, but sometimes you've made comments that make them -- that offend them. in 2019 you said lawmakers support israel because it's, quote, all about the benjamins, which implies that politicians only support israel because of money. there was a tweet from 2012 when you said israel had hypnotized the world. do you understand why some of your fellow house democrats, especially jews, find that language anti-semitic? >> i have welcomed any t

she said the conversation was about account ability for specific incidents regarding those icc cases,national criminal court. not a morale comparison with hamas and taliban and israel. i was no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries. richard, that clarification comes after her tweet which belies the explanation in a lot of ways. she grouply grouped them together in that tweet. what are your thoughts on this? >> thanks for having me, martha. let me be clear. each and every day, members of congresses, democrats or republican call our military leaders and leaders from the state department down to the capitol to ask them questions about military missions, ask about civilian casualties on military missions. in this particular hearing, they asked the secretary of state about the icc, international criminal court and what was the united states objections to it. ilhan, i agree with what she said? no. in her clarifying statement, she makes it clear she was talking about specific cases in front of the icc and not generally comparing terrorist organizations with democrati

based on the facts before the icc.ave seen unthinkable atrocities, committed by hamas, israel, the taliban. they called on the congresswoman to quote, clarify her words, placing the u.s. and israel in the same category as hamas and the taliban to which she responded, to be clear, i was in no way equating terrorist organizations with judicial systems. afterwards, leadership including nancy pelosi issued a statement welcoming the clarification by congresswoman omar but also warning that drawing equivalencies foments prejudice and undermines progress toward the future of peace and security for all. sometimes when you tell truth, you reveal something your audience is not ready to hear. so if you have a problem with a grouping of these entities together, and i understand why you would, you should turn your ire toward whatever it is the u.s. has done to put us in that category. and not on congresswoman omar for pointing it out. earn at the end of their first year automatically woo! i got my mo-ney! it's hard to contain yours

he also said he believes that there is no jurisdiction from the icc over the country. of foreign affairs of the country is looking after its own matters with an internal investigation, but human rights groups have are purely called this a smoke screen, saying this is a diversion tactic and that is not transparent, he hasn't revealed enough data, and that its remit isn't wide enough. even president detert a said at the start of the month and all the dust not all the data could be released because of national security issues. in the weeks ahead we can expect to hear from the icc�*s pretrial chamber to hear whether they will go ahead with a full investigation into these allegations of murders, crimes against humanity committed during the philippines's war on drugs. there's more background on this on the bbc website. as we do every day at the moment, let's update you on football. the opening game of pool f is what we are focused on. it's been dubbed the group of death, and this is it. in the last hour, portugal have threshed hungry and —— in front of thousands of fans. in

. >> we heard from the icc prosecutor on her last visit to sudan as the prosecutor of the internationall court, but it is also her last official visit in her capacity as the prosecutor. she will be replaced in the coming two weeks. she says she's met victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the western region of darfur. she says investigations are ongoing, and she's had talks with the current transitional government with regards to further investigations and allowing more people from the court to talk to the victims so they can gather more evidence. she also made it very clear although they do have evidence that she believes collecting evidence from the ground, because the previous government which was overthrown in 2019 did not allow the international criminal court to set foot in sudan, so she said they have a better cooperation with the transitional government, but there are talks in terms of handing over the rest of the people wanted by the international criminal court. lauren: latin american governments are failing in their response to dangerous new rises in coronavirus

she was very clearly speaking about the icc investigations which name these four actors in two suits.liban and in palestine with hamas and the government of israel. and, you know, i think that to say that -- i believe that to assert that she was equating these two entities when she was speaking about the icc investigations in which all four parties are being investigated for instances of war crimes, you know, i believe to assert that this was equating these two i believe was not a generous interpretation whatsoever. and we know that, you know, these variants tend to be cycles, this whole hubbub started with right wing news outlets taken out of context. it feeds legitimacy to this right wing vitriol. it absolutely increases that target. and as someone who has experienced that, you know, it's very difficult to communicate the scale and how dangerous that is. and so i think as speaker pelosi said, we are putting this behind us and i believe that we will ultimately come together as a caucus. >> before i let you go, i want to ask about the supreme court. they are poised to hear several blo

the united natio security council could also authorize prosecuting cases at the icc, but for that ton, all five permanent members of the council have to agree. and until now, both china and russia have vetoed any tougher action against the myanmar military. a criminal case could also be filed in a court in a country which recognizes so-called universal jurisdiction, that's happened in germany and spain. but for that to happen, the defendants would have to be in those countries. unlikely in this case. the prospects of justice for those o are victims of the military's violence in myanmar is still very distant. laura: now news from around the world -- facebook has suspended former u.s. president donald trump from all of its social media platforms for at lst two years. he's been banned from facebook since january for his post about storming the u.s. capitol by his supporters. last month, the company review criticized the open and did nature of the penalty. donald trump said it was an insult to every person who has voted for him. russia secret service has denied they were involved in dive

be clear, she says, the conversation was about accountability for specific incidents regarding the icc cases, not a comparison between hamas, the taliban, the u.s., and israel. it was no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems. that statement from the congresswoman yesterday. that statement from the congresswoman yesterday. then the new york times mentioned the response from democratic leadership. here is that statement from speaker nancy pelosi, the majority leader, james clyburn, and other members of leadership. they said, yesterday, legitimate criticism of the policies about the united states and israel is protected by the values of free speeds and indeed such criticism is essential to the strengthened health of our democracies, but drawing false equivalencies between democracies like the u.s. and israel and groups like hamas and the taliban undermines progress toward a future of peace and security for all. they end by saying we welcome the clarification by congresswoman omar that there is no more a equivalency between u.

based on the facts before the icc.ongress woman treated her exchange adding this quote we have seen and think about atrocities committed by the u.s., hamas, afghanistan in the taliban. that is when things blew up, yesterday dozens of her democratic colleagues in the house issued a statement calling on the congresswoman to quote, clarify her words placing the u.s. and israel in the same category as hamas and the taliban. she responded to be clear, i was in no way equating tourist organizations with democratic countries with well established judicial systems. afterward house leadership including speaker nancy pelosi issued a statement welcoming the clarification by congresswoman omar, but also warning her to quote drunk false equivalency between democracies like u.s. in israel and groups that engage in terrorism like hamas and the terror taliban ferments prejudice and prevents a future of justice for all. sometimes when you tell the truth you would feel something your audience is not willing to hear, so, if you have a pr

when i heard the news about the icc, i became more hopeful. amy: and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman in new york, joined by my co-host juan gonzÁlez in new brunswick, new jersey. hi, juan. juan: hi, amy. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. the former national security agency contractor reality leigh winner was released from prison on monday. she was arrested in 2017 and sentenced to five years in prison under the espionage act for leaking classified government information. she worked at fort gordon in georgia as a contractor with pluribus international when federal law enforcement agents raided her house after determining she had given reporters at the intercept a secret document about russian interference in the 2016 election prosecutors told "the new york times" she got the longest sentence ever given by a federal court for unauthorized disclosure of government information to the press. reality winner was re

believes they have a great judicial system that hold people accountable, then why is she pushing for an icc investigation by an illegitimate u.n. court that could actually try and jail american service members war crimes? >> gillian: i am going to pull on a thread that you mentioned. the even bigger context -- omar's comments, on the heels of one of the worst streams of anti-semitic comments we had seen in decades. it is hard to decouple her criticism of israel and of the jewish people from the violence that we are seeing in u.s. cities across the nation, is it not? >> no doubt. first of all, democratic leaders -- edit the condemnation only happened when she included the u.s. and the list. she has been saying these things about israel for years. she tweeted out a cartoon by the winner of the holocaust denial cartoon combination. she said they pushed for allegiance to a foreign country, which is accused them of dual loyalty. she compared israel to nazi germany and the soviet union. this is not new. it is fascinating how when republicans during the start of the war on terror and the bush admi

she was talking about those countries in the context of the icc.tement, and i think there is no question that her view is incredibly important to the democratic caucus and certainly the progressive caucus where she severs as the whip and on the foreign affairs committee. she's raising important issues, i think there's a continuous attack as a black muslim woman from the right wing. i don't want to see democrats, know, fool that and allow these kinds of things to be used, so my statement yesterday said i hope all of our colleagues should pick up the phone and talk to each other when there are misunderstandings. we can work this out as a democratic caucus without doing public statements that allow the republicans and the right wing media to exploit things that they suddenly smell as perhaps divisive, so that's my plea. let's just pick up the phone and talk to each other. we're all on the same team other and we desperately need representative owemore's voice just as we do with every member of coming. >> congresswoman, always good you have to on the sh

following up on mister scharf, this january, the icc lifted one of its consent orders regarding wells fargo's compliance with anti-money laundering and the bank secrecy act requirements. many of the bank's legal issues boiled down to a toxic high pressure culture that blamed frontline workers for decisions senior management made. since you became ceo, what's new measures as wells fargo adopted to ensure that frontline bank workers do not fear retaliation for reporting inappropriate or unethical conduct by management? >> congressman, we made a significant number of changes to the company. both processes, procedures and culture. we have, to give you a sense from senior management, we fired 11 people from the outside of the company to fill seats on 18 member operating committee. almost 100 of the top two people are new to the company. we put in substantial amount of infrastructure around customer feedback, employee feedback, independent investigations occur. and it's been a dramatic series of changes inside the company. as well as the cultural change that is necessary for these things to

to assert that she was equating these two entities when she was speaking about the icc investigationassert that this was equating these two, i believe, was not -- it was not a generous interpretation whatsoever. you know, as speaker pelosi said, we are putting this behind us, and i believe that we will ultimately come together as a caucus. >> yeah. just a big misunderstanding. she did lump us in, the u.s. also israel, with the taliban and with hamas. and she led with the u.s. in the list of people who had committed unthinkable atrocities, is what she said. so, sean, i want to go to you on this first because we touched on this subject on yesterday's show as well, and there's an angle here that i think is interesting. there were a handful of republicans, house republicans, who voted along with the democrats a few weeks ago on marjorie taylor green and stripping her of her committees based on some pretty outrageous things she had said before joining congress. republicans said, well, hang on, we were willing to hold our feater account, it's your turn to be consistent and apply some issue

the united nations security council could also authorise prosecuting cases at the icc, but for that tocase could also be filed at a court in a country which recognises so—called universal jurisdiction, that's happened in germany and in spain. but for that to happen, the defendants would have to be in those countries, unlikely in this case. the prospects ofjustice for those who are victims of the military�*s violence in myanmar are still very distant. time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello. for many of us work, part one of the weekend has been fine and dry with plenty of sunshine around any big improvement across the southeast of england after friday's wash—out. plenty of sunshine and fine weather around the country but not sunny everywhere. through the day, later on, cloudy skies pushing into western scotland, northern ireland and the far south west of england, courtesy of this new front arriving gradually as the day wore on. this will bring outbreaks of patchy rain through this evening and overnight. into western areas initially and then spreading eastwards into centra

oh, this is suggestive of the way that the film is is aiming at those frustrated by the icc interstate commerce commission that was forcing the rules or corporations and at the end of the film clay goes crazy and smashing the furniture in his house screams. i'm a man. before driving his truck into pincuses. home and a hail of bullets committing suicide back to cars and back to cannonball so we want to reconnect with my comments on cannonball. we're gonna leave trucks behind behind for a few minutes. and this is the ultimate end of the cannonball films and it stars david carradine who actually was the star in the first cannonball film in 1975. entitled cannonball, so this death race 2000. yeah death race 2000 leads into what john's talking about with cannonball because death race 2000 was roger corman production. and it involves this kind of sense of violence through vehicles. so then the same here we have canon ball, which is the of the cannonball films. it infuriates this film infuriated brock yates at car and driver because he thought somehow cannonball was his idea in almost could b

look, you know our views on the icc and its jurisdiction. we believe that absent a security council referral, or absent the requested by the state itself, that that is not appropriate. i continue to believe that whether it is the united states or israel, both of us have the means -- rep. omar: i do want to stand up my point. i'm asking -- what's available to them. sec. blinken: whether it is the u.s. or israel, we both have the mechanisms to make sure that there is accountability in any situations where there's concerns about the use of force. and human rights. i believe that both of our democracies have that capacity. and we demonstrated it. and we will continue to demonstrate it going forward. rep. omar: and afghanistan? sec. blinken: it's our objection -- with the jurisdiction in the absence of a security council referral. and i believe that we have the means, if there are any cases to be brought, defined justice. -- to find justice. rep. omar: i appreciate that. sorry about the connection issues. there's now nine detainees at go tomo bay

and would we consider supporting, either, a hybrid court or a security council referral to the icc in regards to the situation in ethiopia? >> you know, i don't think we've gotten that far in our discussions of the situation in ethiopia. i -- the goal, right now, is to stop the violence. and provide for opportunities for humanitarian assistance to be distributed to people who are on the verge of -- of famine. clearly, ethiopia will require a political solution. and that political solution will require that individuals be held accountable for the actions that they have engaged in. i think that discussion is a little bit further down the road because the lifesaving actions of providing humanitarian assistance, right now, is at the top of our agenda. >> appreciate that. and as -- as -- as you know, ethiopia is vital to the stability. i know that there are a lot of challenges that are taking place there and i want to thank the administration for appointing an envoy to the horn of africa. i am wondering what leverages is the united states using to bring about a political solution in ethiop

the covid situation in india has led the icc to change the venue to the uae.see in those figures. 24,000 pupils had a suspected case of coronavirus, and 15,000 was a confirmed case of coronavirus. the number of absences caused by those, though, was 279,000 children self isolating. and that is in england, as a result of those cases, and that is state school pupils. so those figures just through. of course, those figures are leading to concerns about whether the current system is the right one going forward. it is being suggested by the government that from september, when kids go back, the system might change so that children do not have to isolate if they have been in contact with a positive case at school and can instead do daily tests. it is not confirmed and the government is looking at data on whether that would be a sensible policy going forward. currently, 20 pupils isolate pair suspected case of covid, so it is having a huge impact on kids' education. covid, so it is having a huge impact on kids' education. we can hear now from the shadow education secr

in the clarification she said american troops should be subject to the icc the international criminalbelieve the same thing ilhan omar believes and that's why they sent her to congress. i have to tell you a lot of conservatives and even some democrats, especially those who are jewish on the democrat side of the aisle who think that nancy pelosi should do something about this. that somehow she should be, you know, castigated for it removed from communities that there should be some repercussions for what she said. i agree with nancy pelosi. i don't think anything should happen. i think a congressman and congresswoman are elected to represent their people and if we start censoring speech or policing speech, let the voters of ilhan omar's district take care of her if they don't like that. republicans, you should pay attention to what nancy pelosi is doing and stop silencing members on the right as well. will: my suspicion is something will happen. it will happen at the voting booth. it may not happen in ilhan omarens district. across the united states of america. let's move forward to th
