j.kagan: well, i guess i don't think of them as in tension with each other. i think you can be a good and strong judge and also a good colleague and that's in fact part of being a good and strong judge. i think people make different decisions and have different perspectives on, in my court anyway, about how frequently you write separately. i'm an institutionalist so i do not write separately all that often. i write dissents when i need to and i hope i write strong and powerful dissents and iv that as an important part of what i do -- and i view that as an important part of what i do, but i don't -- i try not to be, you know, if you look at how many separate writings people have, usually i am pretty low down, because i guess i think that to the extent the court can, the court should not be fractured. i think that confuses matters for lower courts trying to figure out what we are saying to them. i think it's basically not about individual judges. i think it's about the court as a whole and

c j's orders. genuine. unfortunately, the didn't see any difference either between before the decision had been made by the c. j o, off the not, not been a does not send to that and now we're talking about the fact that the to, instead of the packet of thing, i could have somebody $160.00 and venue is more than a 1000. it's a lot. and yeah, unfortunately i use based on me to use that off. i didn't see any change and change the amount of a that didn't the but i'm, i have that to that, that, that's the situation in the north and bottom. got it on, got the city which i'm pushing down to now, all of our hands on the side that i cannot read, i'm not able to provide that suspend to the bottom doesn't because we don't have an access to is allowed but investigated to the local incentive for a few amount of items and off the bed. unfortunately, often that tack of one of a truck to the bit of advice on the coast underwood. none of the dates are being sent to the northern part of the country, the canadian van. i'm or

j. rule done a sees fire or role that immediately much more humanitarian aid needs to come into gaza. the only arm that can make is real. do that with them. the united nations framework is the security council. right. the ice itself as no and portsmouth, thank goodness, it's already talked to that role. and despite the fact that he is following, and i'm a probably, uh, the, i see the south africa kind of looks uh, apply again to the b i, c j and say, listen, be the situation is getting worse, these roles beginning it's on so out of their boss on the last 5, it's much more dangerous. can you issue other measures such as, was interesting about the things. although i would say the 1st missions exposures, the only way to comply by them is a 6 of us by piece of paper. yes, it's fine. okay, use of how much picking up on on what they were saying that you've touched upon it and do it one of your 1st offices tell us more about the situation on a to cause is right and says that it is enabling the

there you go. >> j. tarlov: thank you. >> mayor breed: congratulations and thank you for serving. >> j. tarlov: i would like to say a few words. i'm not as practiced as the director and the mayor, but i prepared some remarks. thank you -- thank you very much, mayor breed and the san francisco board of supervisors. i'm truly humbled and honored to be trusted with this responsibility. it was a great pleasure to work with the mayor's office through the nomination process, in particular jean eld berg, gelsy and alex were generous with their time and insight as i prepared. i'm also grateful for the time chair eaken spent with me and director tumlin and the many other mta staff members who took the time to bring me up to speed with their important work. i would also like to thank my family and friends here to support me. richard, max, elliot and nancy, i love you all. i'm so grateful for my colleagues on the board of the glen park merchants association to tony and the best vice president ever marianne delarry.

c, j. k. since it was established and at the court will provide only a non binding legal opinion later in the year. why is that, and if the quote's opinion isn't legally binding, then what's the point? well, thanks for having me. adrian was the principal of traditional organ of the united nations, which is the i, c, j exercises, various types of jurisdiction, one of which is to give advisory opinions. these are formerly non binding. you're correct, but at the same time, because it's the principal judicial oregon of the united nations and because it is the highest world court that deals with the interpretation and application of international law, what it says is tremendously valuable, highly persuasive on the international plane. there are streams of cases of this course going back years that demonstrate, even when you have an advisory opinion, states handled by that by them. the rulings in an advisory opinion sheet what is regarded as legitimate in the political realm. and so it is a vital im

j is out better on come out. come, brother, a professor insist was talking there about about the ongoing war in guns or of course, but the with south africa's genocide complained to the court center solely on, on guy. so this case is also looking at the, the occupied westbank, isn't it? um, yes it is. uh, as was just said the by the good professor, the situation and g as a horrible, unprecedented. so it is, is a symptom of a larger problem. and one of those problems the root causes of the problem is the legal occupation, but not just that it's the regime of apartheid and racial discrimination imposed on the past and in people as a. busy since 1948, wherever they are. and so the focus of this case is strategic. it's about looking at the region as a newer had mentioned earlier, and then the gallery of the regime imposed by israel, the occupying power on the palestinian people, primarily unoccupied, costing and territory though not exclusive to the, to now there's a difference between the 2 cases. one is an advisory

proposition j will affirm the ordinance the board adopted in may of 2022. if proposition j passes, the board may later amend the ordinance by a majority vote. if proposition j passes with more votes than proposition i, proposition i would have no legal effect. if you vote yes, you want to affirm the ordinance the board adopted in may of 2022, reserving portions of john f kennedy drive and certain connective streets in golden gate park as open spaces and closing those streets seven days a week to private motor vehicles with limited exceptions. if you vote no, you do not want to affirm the boards may 2022 ordinance. i'm here with justin with the san francisco bicycle coalition and a proponent of proposition j, welcome. >> thank you for having me today. >> we're also joined by esther from the art san francisco and an opponent of the measure. >> thank you. >> thank you both for being here. i like to start with esther, why do you believe this proposition is so important? >> well, thank you so much for including us. that's the first thing i want to say and we're

c j saying that they do not believe that i c j will be really in accordance with the prophetic dismissed everything that the south african legal team go to the i c j. but with the i c, j supported a lot of that notion and of how it was that yours diction. it seems very coincidental that a day or day while the same day or a day later, that is wrong, comes with claims of how it's one rest off. be involved with different mazda tech and funding stuff. stuffing it's. it's extremely coincidental on rugs and relief if it's in the cause of the main life blood and support for high is that right? they have over 13000 stuff and it's the main source of funds that are going into hundreds. yeah. and so the, to be 2000000 people in the highs uh, uh, extremely dependent on, on draft funds. um and you know, if you're going to start funds like that, and you're not going to replace it with additional funds, that's gonna have catastrophic impacts on the people of headsets. but you're talking about a situation we, it's not even under normal circumstances. we humanitarian aid the need for it has probably doub

j was issued on the 26th of january. there been 17 massacres. committed in the gaza strip. 2000 killed, 2000 palestinians, killed, of course. and obviously as an severe intensification was situation in sales, we now have $1400000.00 palestinians, which towards the south, on the border with the egyptian side i and the prospect of permanent forcible transfer of this community into egypt, either through direct bombardment and the nurse or the tribunal that compels ap result or over time through starvation used as a method of war. and the cutting off of humanitarian aid and assistance this community looms large. and the situation on the ground is, is tremendously difficult. on the order of a neck of the sort that we saw in 1948 and beyond. to chris, you would expect that under the old as issue as by the i c j, the focus would be pretty much on delivering aid. ensuring that the situation is contained, however, is while appears to be not preparing for its ground offensive. united nations such as a general, i'm telling you, go

j. this time for public hearings on the consequences of its occupation to tell us to be in service for its. it's more pressure on it's ministry wages on concepts, but does as well care about international justice. and what's the difference? what is the this is inside the hello and welcome to the program. i'm adrian sent it to the international court of justice as hearing submissions on israel ls occupation of palestinian territories. it will consider the legal consequences of his wales, ongoing breach of palestinians, right? the self determination, as well as how is where the policies impacts not only the occupied areas, but also other countries and the united nations opinion advisories by the you and this top code unknown binding, but carry significant morrow and legal authority. so when a decision is announced, it will have global implications. dimitri method jenco sets the scene for us, israel's occupation of historical palestine again more than 56 years ago. in june 1967. it's 6 day

c j is ruling. the israel from the jones filed wireless lights on forces its time that the international community and the un itself understand that the owner of the mission has to end under a sofa punctuating it is self perpetuating also. and it's the desire to keep alive the rest of the palestinian refugee issue. there are other agencies and the one the other agencies in the world they have to replace on rock and roll is totally infiltrated and come us. it has been in the service of come us and it's schools and in many other than israel war against under wall continues. now these really prime ministers calling for the closure of the agency, which is a crucial lifeline for desperate. how is teens and guides and you've just heard. prime minister netanyahu chose to speak about it after meeting with foreign and bassett, or as to the un during the visit to israel. and his speech prime minister attacked under the law, but also lashed out at the un itself, claiming it is unbelievably tilted when it comes

j is decision and goals as well. to implement the ruling in full belgium and as a has slammed as well for bombing residential areas. the office building of the belgian agency for development, cooperation in gaza, has been bombed and is completely destroyed. attacking civilian buildings is and remains totally unacceptable. together with hodge allow the belgian for administer . i will some in the is really ambassador. and so i am for the past seen the actual this is a hit us somebody's that's also the reason the i c j root in the default me of them right is more than just to, to woodson us it is wrong. came off with statements prior to i c j saying that they do not believe that i c j will be really in accordance with the prophetic dismissed . everything that the south african legal team brought to the i c j. but with the i c, j supported a lot of that notion and of how it was that yours diction. it seems very coincidental that a day or that was the same day or day later that is wrong. comes with claims of how it's one

but given benjamin netanyahu is defiance of the i, c, j, an international opinion. how likely is it that a full scale ground defensive for profit can be avoided? poking out you 0 for inside story the. let's bring it all gus in the, in the u. k. robert guy spin full is alexa on the sun secuity out. i'm university. his special expertise is these riley military into by hosp. the halle is an independent political consultant who focuses on the middle east, north africa, and the horn of africa. and in new york city, a lot of mine is a fellow of the middle east council on global affairs. welcome to the program brothers. how seriously this prospect of the military invasion of rough, uh, how do you think is just more of a push by these varieties for political leverage during the tools which are on the way for the, for the i think is a deadly serious portion. israel has definitely intentions to carry this out. the problem is the net to yahoo is argue that there are full functional. how must battalions in rockford at now originally that were 24 at uprising him us battalions as

j sat. it's clear israel has no intention to ever leave the land to man. the evidence is overwhelming and leaves no room for serious dispute about israel's actions or its intentions. in 2004, the court of firm the inalienable right of the palestinian people to self determination. in 2024. it is time for you to enables and finally, to exercise that right, this case is different to the one of genocide south africa filed. this one is brought by the un general assembly after passing a resolution with 8 to 7 votes in favor. to give an advisory opinion on as well as 57, he alone occupation. the hearings come at a time when the death, though, as far as military operation in gaza has the past 29000 last month. so you and highest court order. it's relative stopped. also time from genocidal x in gaza and other decisions i just poured. although non binding to stop the unlawful occupational specialist in line to carry morales or with no further increase international pressure on the government. benjamin netanyahu international legitimacy by countries is increasingly i

some of these transactions have been originally founded by new r i, c, j. those are pretty close to georgine genocide, this implies and you get a responsibility for member states because basically the i, c j has a nurse to the international community. all the reason i'm kind of finding garza and he does order the media to ineffective action. so they have to take an action scene, their power to prevent these drugs from queen to continuing with my procedure general side. and the 2nd is to um, to ensure they, they do not to aiden the, but we the, we tend to go to the ox and they might be seen the high school police it without soap jo site. so instead of ensuring that you money tie a is the very to is that they even trenton. now what they do is they take action, castigating the agency that provides critical support to maintenance of the policy and seem to try, how do you make sense of that? i mean, your point out the paradox and it's jude contradiction. how do these powerful nations arrive at the conclusion that this makes sense? i seen and i'm the country, and

j. b. the narrative has shifted accordingly. compared to 1992 in those days there was still a 2nd thinking that's one does not the story. so house of worship of the people are the media shed in that view. lodge the deborah editorials written that express the sorrow of these developments. we didn't have the presence of private television that we have today. and that has made a great deal of difference in debt to the for instance. and the call is a doc the and hanging in shape. but now to think your, your thought of watching, i really just stand in that opposing that hundreds of industry standards here. but it's very hard to kind of distinguish with the news and boost kind of frenzy generating sort of channels in the media in the media is proclaiming the, you know, duration of the ram temple as a historical moment for the country. but it hides its history. it avoids any objective scrooge in the discussion of the criminal acts that led to its constructions. the house has but not been bid. when

j from to kia. i'm joined now by victor cuts on who's in the system proficient in public international law at the university of nothing. and in the united kingdom. thanks very much for joining us here on al jazeera um. first of all, do you think that the 2 key is actions have lived up to it strong rhetoric against as well? um, well take care of taking a strong stance on the issue of ohio. now sharefile. how's the hashemite kingdom of jordan? that's a as a special role in, in safeguarding the muslim holy shrines. and this is a, an obligation that specific to the israel of georgia in peace treaty and customary international law. so i think that the lift up to the expectations as much as i can sense of trying to defend palestinian rights. the me as well as occupation here is we've been saying took, he's already recorded and best of the, from his wireless provided ongoing political support for him us. what more do you think or should it be doing? um, well, one thing that struck me that i could do, and t

c j's rulings are legally binding. however, they can be difficult to enforce, especially while is really enjoys the protection of the united states at the un security council, where the us has the power to veto. however, there is no doubt that the ruling did not go is rios way the court has found a plausible risk. the genocide is occurring or could occur. and that will be difficult for these randy government to shrug off try as it might. now this news coming when it did on a friday afternoon, very late in our production schedule, means that we haven't had time to fully examine the legal implications. but target and also has been following the coverage and the joins me now. what are the initial rep precautions that you're seeing out there? well, a lot was at stake here, which is not just for part of students who have been killed and stopped by israel on mass, but also for the credibility of the international legal order. this may be the most politically devices case ever for the full could and should the costs have gone

but let's bring in entertainment journalists, k j matthews. here she joins us from los angeles, k. j. women dominating the spot live at the sears grammy, or tell us more a human one off for top categories. i remember the year you've got taylor swift song of the year. you have what was i made for you just mentioned, really highlight bruckner of the year. miley cyrus for flowers and best new artist, went to victoria mooney, the sweet. so yes, it was definitely a female centered grammy award winning night for sure. what about the on stage performances? there was tracy chapman, joni mitchell, celine dion. any big surprises there? oh my god. when celine dion came on, uh, and presented the reward. it was just so amazing because, you know, we've all know that she has been suffering and she's been illness ill for a while. so we didn't expect to see her. they are presenting a war, but no, she was there presenting an award. taylor swift got that award. it was just amazing to see her there on stage. it was also amazing to see joni mitchell performing. they said she was basically performing 56

c j, a general side in 3 mortar. and again, it could be able so seen as far as to buy long spending, export to these ro, to, i mean, he made the agency. this is something that they expect, as i said to the post, also agreement. this is something new. but at the same time, what shocks me is the it's not necessarily the maneuvering a symbol maneuvering from israel. what they find is shocking is their response by member stage, because acting fast, one rock at the moment if he's big, substantial for medium, for honesty and seeing gaza, who are enjoying catastrophic leading companies. that helped me understand that those members things. because again, if it weren't even just in the united states, or if there's no just made the call and no one responded to, to the request to cut under refunds. it would be less shocking. but again, we're talking about more than a dozen countries. suspending the funding before the investigation is completed. how do they, how does it justified? how do you make sense of it? it makes it cannot

the, the i c, j set. it's opinion carry significant maureen, weight the size of the moral weight for israel to want to on it to do, i have to pay it any differently than it is not all. think of the think of the options of the united nations with then have, if the court rules that this isn't a legal occupation, several months time, this would go back to the general assembly who would ask for the advisory opinion. they would likely pass a resolution in favor of endorsing what the court has done and then either it or the security council would then be compelled to want to take action to decide what steps should be taken to compel israel to end the legal occupation. well, one last question, michael, is to us is always the most influential state when it comes to israel. could the us be persuaded to behave any differently if the core issues this opinion that the occupation is illegal? well, let's remember that the present and 5 minutes been talking about a 2 state solution since it became president that has bee

j has been politicized based surveillance to me. and when i did not know i was being surveilled, they opened a d o. j did a sealed case against me. it's still not knowing what's in that field case. a grand jury was in panel, but what i do know is a twitter attorney had contacted me and said that they had gotten sealed warrants for all my communication meeting, g mail, twitter. every thing you can think of on social media as a us citizen, i thought, oh, well, you're gonna get a death, right? you go to law enforcement. these were online. these were, you know, so that was under the purview of the f b. i didn't know that the f b i was actually targeting me. obviously they're scared of the fact that i have cooperating witnesses. they're willing to go on the record. i was about to testify before congress, and now you have, there's 7 other women that had complaints that were silenced. i was, threatens, there's documentation now and legal documentation of the threats and of what was going on. so i think what he's afraid of you, they're tryi

c j will. that is why i must take action to prevent students tied to violence. bias on forces its time that the international community into you in itself understand that only submission has to end under a sofa perpetuating it is self perpetuating also. and it's the desire to keep alive, or if you, the palestinian refugee issue. there are other agencies and the one the other agencies in the world they have to replace on rock and roll is totally infiltrated and come us. it has been in the service of commerce and schools, and in many other thing, that's close live now to the middle east bureau chief maria the notion of the way i get to see you again. that seems to be a drum base of harsh rhetoric coming off of as well about under was mission and gaza. could you tell us more about the situation please? a yes indeed. israel's war against another wall continues. now these rarely prime ministers, calling for the closure of the agency, which is a crucial lifeline for desperate powers, teens and gods.

the civilians facing of the south or battalions or hang there we, we can't lose sight that the i c j a few weeks ago. said that israel has, is, is plausibly perpetrating a genocide against the pallets and people. and if you look at it through that lens, then what they happens to. ready for the people of gaza is, is as much military as it is a psychological to break the, the will of the people that are hanging on for dear life that have a mass there that are starving. and that israel has, has demonstrated through which we. ready is indeed its intention is to put push them into the sign i credential roll. that's what seems on roll on for the full phases the really land plus bombardment or the northern part of, of, of guys and then these varieties move to was heine units. and each time that was saying, basically, the reason why the doing this is to degrade the minutes. what capabilities of have my sons in my hands admitted to present as a but also the looking to had to what happens next. now when it comes to it off, i do see how would you see the scope of the invasion if it happens, the

i c j really? well, i think it was an a resignedly victory for the russian federation of the most serious charges included the financing of terrorism. and of course, the i. c. j rejected that and found in the russian federations favor um, i think that was the most important fact. and client that was resolved by this, the citizens. um, the only the i see the only violations that the last, which i did find were minor violations with respect to the russian federation. late to find involved the failing to properly investigate the claims of terrorism. i'm not permitting the obligation to enough for instruction in schools in the ukraine language and prohibiting the parts are minority from exercises that are using a representative body as essentially their own form of government on the crumb in peninsula. and those issues are far pretty minor. the, the major one which key wanted was the finding the, the wires, provision of arms and weapons to the domestic republic and of the gospel people's republic to he

and are we ready to elect president donald j. trump to save america? [applause] >> yes, we are.s time to make history. we always say that every election is the most important election in our lifetime, but this election truly is because in just three short years, joe biden and the far left democrats have laid waste to our great nation. for the first time ever, the majority of americans believe the next generation will be worse off than their parents. this is fundamentally not who we are. the american dream is being destroyed by the radical left and we are in a country that's in crisis. from joe biden's catastrophic border crisis, to biden inflation crushing hard working families to evil terrorists attacking our most precious ally israel to the shredding of the constitution and to the unprecedented illegal and corrupt weaponization of the federal government. we, the people, must vote to save our hallowed republic. the mainstream media, the loyal stenographers of the left, we the people every day, they underestimate president donald j. trump every day and i'm proud to say they've u

c j on front of site on the consequences of the corporation. busy they come from the global sales and we see this sort of know this, this momentum would mean many countries have more or less list hold on, on the un with, with the official for them to convince them stoplight at the national, on that acting now from their punches from the motor position they've taken on, i think this is important. so the question to the other companies in the will do we want the unified, the globe on the one un under one a under one, and the national or we want to be motor fragmented. the water ukraine has cause fragmentation doesn't know is causing more fragmentation. and i think the struggle bestest then to this and say, well enough is enough, we need to be united. we need to apply international a without any complicity without any douglas done. doesn't mohammed? i'm going to go back to you now. the palestinians presenting at the i c j today. i believe i've got about 3 or 4 hours to do so. what are you expecting? what are you hoping to hear from them? is the ou

i mean the i, c, j is different. it's not, it's either either side, in fact is looking for an opinion, but doesn't bounce by default, require someone to be right and to be wrong. yes, what will happen in this call? okay, so the i c j is the combo issue. what's called an advisory opinion, and probably in a few months, this was requested by the united nations general assembly about a year ago. but it's important, it has very strong modeling value, a con, become positive, international law, if what the cost says it's very clear. and it can be, you say, domestically and what's being requested by the drug and send me this time is a very broad opinion on the legal consequences of as well as ongoing prolonged occupation while they occupied, published a new type of trade and its policies and practices. so that could be some very significant findings in the code. okay, well, how do you then assess? i'm gonna show you what you proceedings today. how did you assess the way the contributors in the legal case study for the palest
