can you give us an idea of the major tenets of the green party. there is the green new deal and where you stand on the big issues of the day? guest: sure. let me mention health care. this is a crisis across the board. there is a solution which is also supportive which is to expand the medicare system which is the most efficient way to ensure health care. it allows you to choose your doctor. there are holes of medicare and it needs to be approved. we are supporting medicare for all which the majority of american people support the type of plan and this is across the political spectrum and it will not cost us money. it covers you from head to toe, cradle-to-grave, your eyeglasses, hearing aids, mental health care, home care all things excluded the you urgently need and it saves us money. it doesn't cost us is saves us half a trillion because our current private insurance is so wasteful that one out of every three health care dollars is being spent -- is basically being wasted. medicare for all drastically reduces wasteful overhead. that's an example

case we are not only talking about analine berbuk, not begging her guilt, but about the entire green party general, the party was created in the wake of anti-war sentiments, rallies for peace, for disarmament, against american medium-range missiles in europe, in as a result, they came to supplying weapons to ukraine, to a war with russia, to universal armament. in general, the second member of the coalition to help ukraine to send weapons to ukraine, in general, this, of course, is just a stunning example of hypocrisy, but here berbak is only one of many, because her party colleagues, such as anton hofreiter, respectively, and robert habeck, who are ruining the german economy with their actions, are, in general, no better , just like her predecessor as head of mit yoshka fischer, who also began by participating in leftist opposition demonstrations for palestine, and is now one of the main apologists. thank you very much, that is, we started for health, then, as you know, for peace, and nikolai, well, a respected german expert tells us about the fact that she accidentally ended up in her po

all the main scottish parties say they will vote against him. the snp mp alyn smith hopes the greense votes, despite their insistence that they won't. there's the possibility that a former snp member ash regan — who defected to another nationalist party — could save mr yousaf. but that's highly uncertain. the big picture in all of this is that the position of the scottish national party is weakening, with uk elections due. and that also has implications for the likelihood of scottish independence. let's talk to our correspondent in edinburgh, alexandra mackenzie. good to have you. so, what is the latest that we are hearing about these resignation rumours? goad these resignation rumours? good morninu. these resignation rumours? good morning- well. — these resignation rumours? good morning. well, i— these resignation rumours? good morning. well, i am _ these resignation rumours? good morning. well, i am at _ these resignation rumours? good morning. well, i am at bute - these resignation rumours?

the green party itself, of course, believes that there is really significant connections between these events. the united states military is the largest global polluter in the world. so consequently, as we engage in more military actions around the world, we're increasing the carbon footprint and the pollution that we're desperately trying to combat. so for us, it's a pretty straightforward connection between les military involvement and reducing climate change. and these are good things for us. following her release, jill stein said that her arrest made both the university. i'm the police slip, but i suppose there's the bigger picture here as well. the federal government that's supporting israel, which is what these americans that we're looking at, what they're protesting against. how does that make washington look as well? i think it really highlights the hypocrisy that the democratic party and indeed the republican party as well in body. they will tell us that they want peace for everyone and then fund genocide. they will tell us that, oh, we are trying to uphold the rule of law in

it meant that the two microlitres of the green party, you can see them here, became members of the government. in 2023, humza yousaf took over as leader of the snp, but since then there have been several issues that have caused a lot of division within the scottish government. the most divisive was the environment policy. they announced that they would scrap their target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030. this is a significant u—turn for the snp, because when these targets were first announced in 2019, nicola sturgeon, the first minister at the time, said they were the most stretching targets in the world. she said that hers was the first government on the planet to declare a climate emergency. but climate experts say that the emergency response never came. for the greens, cutting emissions is one of their main objectives. it is a key policy area. so this is seen as a huge failure for them. today, the co—leader of the scottish greens accuse the snp of selling out future generations. she also said that humza yousaf can no longer be trusted. so it appears that it had become im

it's hard to - generalise because green parties are so different from 100 to the next. ajority parties. remember, the scottish system was set up with a view to prevent majority government. this snp have blown it over to back out of the water over the last few elections. a lot will depend on the precise nature of coalition deals. certainly it seems to be the case at the moment that in an era when some parties, particularly on the centre right seem to be rowing back from climate commitment some green parties are doubling down and having those commitments as a very redlined which they do not want see crossed. in that sense coalition government can be dangerous because the commitment you have to make as the snp did under nicola sturgeon was to meet targets. i think they missed eight targets in scotland. people start to ask questions about whether you are effective. you can't come away from those commitments because you are tied into this coalition agreement. it you are tied into this coalition agreement-— you are tied into this coalition aureement. , ., ., , agreement. it ca
