i grew up in a middle class family. and while we were more fortunate than many, i still remember my mother sitting at that yellow formica table late at night, a cup of tea in hand with a pile of bills in front of her just trying to make sure that she paid them off by the end of the month. like so many americans just trying to make it all work every day. millions of americans are sitting around their own kitchen tables and facing their own financial pressures. because over the past several decades, our economy has grown better and better for those at the very top and increasingly difficult for those trying to attain build and hold on to a middle class life in many ways. this is what this election is all about. the american people face a choice between two fundamentally very different paths for our economy. i intend to chart a new way forward and grow america's middle class. donald trump intends to take america backward to the failed policies of the past. he has no intention to grow our middle class. he's only interested

east to link iran to the middle east to link iran to the mediterranean. definitely will impact the whole region, not to mention the impact on lebanon on domestic policy. because hassan nasrallah was the man calling the shots and deciding the war and the country is in the middle of a deep economic crisis. a deep political divide, society that is very fractured and there are concerns, even fears that this incident and this tragic incident and this tragic incident will have repercussions on the lebanese society. and this definitely as well has an impact because hassan nasrallah played a major role in syria, his troops are still operating in syria. this is what is at stake, the whole architecture of the middle east today. not to mention that the impact of this killing on the ward that is continuing. so, will hezbollah have the capability to continue the war and continue this escalation process? has the ability to go for a full—blown war? the media states that he doesn't want a full—blown war but he is prepared for it. the question is is hezbollah still prepar

we have been talking about that here in the middle east. it is a huge development. this continuing escalation began with those escalation that that began with those exploding pager and walkie—talkie attacks on hezbollah members in lebanon. we then had israeli air strikes in the south and east of the country, we had strikes in the southern suburbs of the capital, beirut, what israel called "precise strikes" where they killed various commanders in hezbollah, strikes that targeted one or two apartments within a building. we again saw last night another significant escalation, when keep using, a further escalation yesterday evening when we saw and heard that huge strike here in beirut a which we now know killed the leader of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah, the leader of that group over 30 years and involved since its creation. he was very much a figurehead for it. it leaves questions about what happens am in lebanon and in the wider middle east. it is a hugely pivotal moment. there is a lot of concern about what happens next, but i think one thing that is fair to say is th

— there is a broader war in the middle east? that's what we're lookin: middle east?e east? that's what we're looking to avoid, we _ middle east? that's what we're looking to avoid, we have - middle east? that's what we're looking to avoid, we have a - middle east? that's what we're looking to avoid, we have a lot| looking to avoid, we have a lot of soft targets over there and our embassies and american civilians and i think that's the greatest worry that if this turns into a massive regional wall, that some of our faults will be targeted in that context and i do think the iranians want to fight a war against the us so i think it will do everything they can to fall short of that but again, once the situation starts escalating, it's difficult to know. , ., ., escalating, it's difficult to know. , ., . know. very good to have you with us assessment, - know. very good to have you with us assessment, thank i know. very good to have you l with us assessment, thank you for being with us. well, we've been able to see in the past few minutes a large explosion there on the sky

when the middle class is strong, america is strong, and we can build a stronger middle class.can economy, we know this fear. the american economy is the most powerful force for innovation and wealth creation in human history. we just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven don't work. and like generations before us, let us be inspired by what is possible. as president, i will be grounded in my fundamental values of fairness, dignity, and opportunity. and i promise you i will be programmatic in my approach. i will engage in what frankly roosevelt called bold, persistent, experimentation. because i believe we shouldn't be constrained by ideology and, instead, should seek practical solutions to problems. realistic assessments of what is working and what is not. applying metrics to our analysis applying facts to our analysis. and stay focused, then, not only on the crises at hand, but on our big goals, on what's best for america over the long-term. and part of being pragmatic means taking good ideas from wherever they come. listen. you all know my career, andrea

citizens trapped in the middle east.ters are watching this with 42 days until election day, former president trump spoke to farmers last night concerned by the china threat to u.s. agriculture out of the vet yesterday in smithtown pennsylvania, listen to this. >> the first thing i would do my first call i'm going to call the president xi you have to honor the deal by $50 billion worth of american foreign product, i guarantee you he will buy 100% he will buy it. maria: congressman, what are your thoughts on the state of the race right now? >> i'm a guy from iowa and ask stay on the ad committee, first of all the biden administration has offered no trade policy particularly frag at any time of the last three years we had a complete failure at usda to show leadership, president trump is highlighting a 50 billion-dollar purchase agreement that was committed to by the chinese and the u.s., just in the last three years, when the drove up commodity prices and drive down prices for families when they went to the grocery store an

settlement. to try to replace the mandate of the un security council in what is happening in the middleast, such a line leads, as we see, to an even greater escalation of violence. yes, leonid eduardovich, and you know, i want to ask, look, it turns out that israel, believing, justifying its actions with some, as i understand it, some intelligence data, because there were no trials against the leader, one of the leaders of hazbala, they decided to destroy him. and they say that he was allegedly preparing an invasion of northern israel and so on, and then they suspected some bad things in syria , some time ago they bombed about damascus, then they kill guests in iran and so on, that is, and israel is clearly asking for trouble and would like to unleash a big war, the countries around are trying to smooth it over as much as possible, even to the detriment of their own reputation, i would say so. vasya. our position, because we seem to be trying to maintain a conditional neutrality in these things, but you condemn the actions of israel, our other politicians, officials do not really condem

it's almost groundhog day in the middle east. how you get to an independent state and autonomy and you look at the reality of facts on the ground and you look at how palestinian communities had been blocked off from each other, even in the west bank. you know, i'm just sort of interested as what, what part of palestine is, is available any longer for another state or for an autonomous region. because they, it's been dissected. i mean, honestly folks look at the map, it's just, it's an incredibly convent, you know, a conflicting thing to be talking on one hand about the need for 2 state solution. but then we'll look at the realities of what has happened since these efforts that you are very involved with to do it. i just love to get someone to answer that question. well, see, do you have to look beyond the, the math today? and this is what is possible. so 1st of all, you know the old adage when you're digging yourself into a hole, the 1st requirement is to stop digging, which means that uh, the ongoing is really activities that ha

i spoke to nafiseh kohnavard, our middle east correspondent.y people, you just see a few of them, but along the way that we were coming to downtown beirut, from the morning, we see tens of familiesjust sleeping in the street. they spend the night here. they say that they don't have a home. many of them told us they don't have a house to go back to, because they are destroyed. the roads in tahir is closed, so they think any soon they cannot go back to their house. at the same time, there was three other air strikes today, targeting tahir right after the confirmation about the killing of hassan nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, came. but let me explain the mood here. we have very strange mood. just minutes ago, suddenly we heard celebration. and some of the hezbollah supporters that only a few minutes ago, they were crying, suddenly they started to dance and celebrate. we ask them, what happened? apparently somehow they thought their leader is still alive, while hezbollah media office in a statement, they confirmed that he is killed in these ai

middle-class. he's only interested in making life better for himself at people like himself the wealthiest of americans. you can see it spelled out in his economic agenda and agenda that gives trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires and the biggest corporations while raising taxes on the middleclass by almost $4,000 a year slashing overtime pay throwing tens of millions of americans off of health care and cutting social social security and medicare in some, his agenda would weaken the economy and hurt working people and the middle-class you see for donald trump our economy works best if it works for those who own the big skyscrapers not those who actually build them, not those who wire them not mop the floor well, i have a very different vision. >> i have a very different vision for our economy i believe we need to grow and are middle-class and make sure our economy works for everyone. for people neighborhood where i grew up and the hardworking americans, i'm meet every day across our nati

let's speak to former bbc middle east correspondentjim muir. including all phases of the lebanese civil war, which took place from 1975 to 1990. we spoke to you night after night during the last war of 2006 between israel and hezbollah. thank you for coming on to talk to us. you are in beirut again, still. i wonder how things are there where you are? in how things are there where you are? , ,. . ., how things are there where you are? , . ., ., ., are? in my particular area, we have not— are? in my particular area, we have not been _ are? in my particular area, we have not been directly - are? in my particular area, we have not been directly hit - are? in my particular area, we have not been directly hit by l have not been directly hit by israeli strikes, but we have been affected by them, in that, obviously, we heard the huge explosions yesterday, the ones that got hassan nasrallah. that was unprecedented. in all my years here, i have never heard anything quite like that before. a series of big explosions, but ramped together in about two secon

this has been a disaster for people, for the middle class, but for every class. on top of that, we have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums, and they're coming in and they're taking jobs that are... occupied right now by african-americans and hispanic, our country is being lost, we're a failing nation, and it happened three and a half years ago, look, we've had terrible economy, harris, however, hit back at trump, saying his four years in office favored only the rich, she also accused him of taking america backwards, so i think you've heard tonight two very different visions for our country, one that is... on the future and the other that is focused on the past and attempt to take us backward, but we're not going back. his plan is to do what he has done before, which is to provide tax cut for billionaires and big corporations, which will result in $5 trillion to america's deficit. donald trump left us the worst unemployment since the great depression. donald trump left us the worst public

when the middle-class is strong, america is stronger, and we can build a stronger middle-class.can economy, we know this year, the american economy is the most powerful force for innovation and wealth creation in human history. we just need to move past the failed policies -- >> martha: we will keep an eye on the speech from a vice president kamala harris baruch she did begin by saying that she grew up in a middle-class family and just going to describe some of her ideas to strengthen the u.s. economy, we will let you know if there is news coming out of that address in at pittsburgh, pennsylvania. in a moment, robert f. kennedy jr. joins us on his crusade to rescue america from a historic deep decline in health. it has impacted as so many people in our country, and he traces it to a lot of things, chemicals in our food, radiation and cell phones, drugs that make us sick or than better. >> we're asking ourselves, how in the world did this happen? big part of it is our diets. millions of people have lost weight with personalized plans from noom. like evan, who lost 50 pounds. i ne

attention who do, that is insane, most people, the indigenous people of the middle east who benjamin netanyahu's family or very recent arrivals there, uh, they know exactly what's going on, they're never going to let him be a leader in that part of the world, because he is one of the most dangerous people. ever walked the face of planet earth, especially because of his nuclear weapons that he keeps up behind his back, and so that's the the real danger i think right now uh is that these... israeli leadership have painted themselves into a corner where what they're coming out with is the a desperate desperate attempt to use the press, to use the media uh in order to convince few of the stupid people in the west, the more the most stupid people uh that they still have some credibility, most of the people uh watching this around the world, including many british journalists, i can assure you uh looking at this man and thinking the guy is losing the plot, he's lost touch with the reality.

the role of china in the middle east. stay tuned. ken hammond is professor of east asian and global history at new mexico state university. and an activist with pivot to peace. thank you uh professor for joining us on have it out with galloway. let's start with where i left off. it would be fair to say that china has not yet begun to exercise in foreign policy anything like the weight that it possesses as the world's greatest manufacturing power. possibly the world's greatest economy, with the biggest navy and with an unvanquishable national spirit, in other words, they're walking softly, they're carrying a big stick, but they're walking softly, is that correct? i think that's very correct, i think that china has spent lot of uh invested lot of resources in recent years in developing its military capabilities. "this is primarily of course directed at uh defending itself from the aggression that the united states has been enhancing and and ramping up whether it's in the south china sea or the taiwan straight or other areas where the u

it appears that deterrence has broken down in the middle east. and we do see the dangerous levels of cooperation between russia and iran, in particular i would like to ask both of you, how do we upglade models of deterrence in the middle east. you talked about counter drone technology but what else can the u.s. be doing to address these? mr. wittman: being more effective on the economic front. as we look at sanctions and sanctions haven't worked. if you look at the most immediate impact, things that have the greatest ability to effect behavior it begins with economic sanctions. other friends around the world have to help us with that and we have to than staunch in our resolve to stick by those sanctions. and say they are bypassing the sanctions, we won't worry about the enforcement of the sanctions. we have to be all in. you have to say we are all in and make sure the sanctions are important. that has the most i think immediate impact on these nations. the other elements to strategicically deter them takes time and other thing, we need to think o

the whole of the middle east remains poised a knife edge.cupier. most of the arab and islamic governments remain silent. well, sometimes they speak, but they very rarely do. the lebanese resistance with an extremely... limited strike overwhelmed the apartite states defenses, iron dome, anti-ballistic, anti-aircraft, they swept it all away with a relatively small number of relatively primitive weapons and the apartite state knows that the lebanese resistance have thousands upon thousands of weapons. of a far greater caliber, which they have not yet fired. this explains why the apartite state has continued to deny the world the evidence of the damage that was done by the resistance attack just the other day, and it's why they themselves have been quiet, so if a strategic equilibrium has been achieved, on the northern front, that means the possibility of the americans, the british and the others being drawn into world war ii in the lavant, has comenurately dimmed, but the danger of world war ii in the persian gulf remains extent. the islamic re

on security issues in the center of attention are the conflicts in ukraine, the situation in the middle east and the main threats to humanity. bilateral meetings will also be held within the framework of the meeting. trump and harris debated in philadelphia. they were broadcast by abc. the moderators asked the presidential candidates important political questions. in answering them, both trump and harris blamed each other for all the problems of the united states. africa strives for justice and solidarity in the world, the international system that exists now needs reforms, musa faki mahamad, chairman of the african union commission, spoke about this in an interview with the first deputy director general of tas, author and host of the formula-vlasti program mikhail gusman. the organization became the first laureate of the leo tolstoy peace prize, which was awarded in moscow. africa, as you know, has experienced many upheavals in its history, the slave trade, colonization, exploitation, it fought for its freedom. today, the most important task is development in all its forms, in the fiel

they don't want a wider middle east - respond. -- eran. they don't| want a wider middle east war. want to shed. hezbollah said that they didn't want an all—out war in around lebanon. that is something we are getting close to having right now. that again it gave the israelis confidence to push ahead with the plans they have been making since the last war endedin been making since the last war ended in 2006. many imponderables now. what does hamas do? today you sell weapons? do they kill a lot of civilians? how would israel respond then? also, what about israel? israel has spoken about a ground invasion of lebanon. what if they went through with that? �* , ., , a, ., that? briefly, how is all of this being _ that? briefly, how is all of this being framed - that? briefly, how is all of this being framed by - that? briefly, how is all of this being framed by the l that? briefly, how is all of- this being framed by the media where you are injerusalem? well, the israeli media is pretty excited about what has happened, and some of the journalists and stations who are pro—government have

the government considers those who spend between $130.00 to $640.00 a month to be middle class. those just below this bracket are classified as aspiring middle class, meeting them, move hon to economic shocks, and the less likely to spend a lot my so i mean for us my husband still can find another job in his salary has not increased. my son is still unemployed, just meeting all day the needs is on the affordable president, joe, could we do since the declining middle class is not a problem that's unique to indonesia, to something affecting many countries. he blames a global economic slowdown. incoming president proposed to be enter was due to take office in october. it is promised to boost economic growth at create $19000000.00 jobs. for super you know, he can't help but look back to when times were easier. when his children would ask him for cash to buy snacks, and when he had the money to indulge them, jessica washington out to 0 to come to this morning. as in uganda, i have turned down for the funeral of the olympic asked me to rebecca checked, a guy who was set ablaze by her

conflict in the middle east. this is about an hour. . . . . >> good morning, my name is jonathan lord and senior fellow and director of the middle east security program. in 2022 the biden administration release the national defense strategy which identified china and russia and iran and north korea and violent extremist organizations as threats needing to be contained. bipartisan recognition of the challenge poised by challenge of russia and china and implementation is a whole of government toward the indo-pacific and european theaters. however, beginning at least 24 months ago and earlier we noticed a trend. america's top adversaries and competitors were finding ways to quoll bait bringing to bear their competencies to collude and assist each other in ways that benefited their aims and collectively worked to challenge the rules based order which allowed free nation around the world to prosper. iran has provided deadly drones in support of russia. russia has offered weapons systems to iran. china has become iran'

how would that actually work and will it help middle and lower class americans? guest: what she laid out is something that exists in several states where it basically if there is an emergency it just means consumers are going to pay more for them. if you come up with a targeted policy like biden laid out, more like trump's first term, that is a different thing. i think the benefits don't meet the cost. host: let's hear from former president trump from the debate he was talking about this topic. trumka first of all, i have no sales tax. she knows that. we're doing tariffs on other countries. other countries after 75 years are going to pay us back for all we have done for the world. the tariff will be substantial in some cases. i took and billions and blades of dollars from china. host: just to give you an idea of the proposal themselves, i will put them on the screen, former president trump proposes to impose a 10% to 20% tariff on imports from all countries. 62% on imports from china. vice president harris, "targeted strategic tariffs to support american workers"

and of course, the focus is on the middle east, iran.ll, the statement, of course, of the new president of iran, mr. pazashkian. the channels are informed that there will be negotiations with representatives, so to speak, in a closed format of the united states of america. and again, there is nothing surprising in this. in the united states, they are trying, one way or another, to play on a certain balance of power within the region middle east. but there is one erroneous, so to speak, story that the iranians are counting on: firstly, elections are coming up and no one in america will conclude or negotiate any complicated things before the elections, yes, especially obligations to iran. is iran doing this? the situation in iran is not the most stable in terms of the economy, there is a certain, so to speak, dissatisfaction with economic policy inside, yes, that is , reforms are needed, iran needs investments, investments are still not quite working out to acquire, because the economy is not so attractive. that's how it is with us and in

it accounts for more than the countries and that's largely powered by the middle class. the economists say this shrinking middle class may make it more challenging for the government to achieve its television, indonesia becoming a high income nation by 2045. if the consumption a private consumption growth is not increasing. so uh, meaning that these, you know, a drop in a middle income class, a population, meaning that the, the, the source of economy growth, indonesia, is also weakening. so i think it's, it is more difficult for indonesia to achieve higher economic growth with the situation. the government considers those who spend between $130.00 to $640.00 a month to be middle class. those just below this bracket are classified as aspiring middle class, meeting them, move hon to economic shocks, and the less likely to spend a lot my so i mean for us my husband still can find another job in his salary has not increased. my son is still unemployed, just meeting all day the needs is on the affordable president deal. could we do since the declining middle class is not a pr

there is nowhere in the middle east as well, cannot reach. there's nowhere we will not go to protect our people and protect our country. with every passing moment, the regime is bringing you the normal persian people closer to the a bit. i don't, you know, support the rapists and murderers of hamas and since about a bunch of leaders you deserve more people. everyone should though is well, stands with you may, we together know a future of asperity. symbolic. what do you think? you mentioned y'all who was trying to achieve here? this was made the 3 things. first of all, the videos declaring the is around those. the biggest weakness for around which is the variety of cities inside around the fact that around the room he is not controlling. um, uh, the people around entirely on the is not gaining gives the floor entirely. and we see the holes and elections were only 30 to 40 percent. they've been involved in those the election. that's 1st of all 2nd, megan and then you'll see can't get to national legitimacy because he's saying that the around en

in the middle ages , people knew how and loved to cook. so, we are in the middle ages.hree meals a day certainly did not exist then. for breakfast there was a glass of water and a piece of bread. lunch was also quite light, some drink was drunk and very low-calorie food. but dinner, which began at 3:00 p.m. could last until 12, turned into a real gluttony. and this was unusual for us, first second tea. a dozen plates with a variety of food were placed on the table. rich people feasted especially heavily, no worse than the ancient romans and greeks. some had to be literally carried out from the table feet first after these feasts. the church naturally had an extremely negative attitude to this indulgence: a hearty breakfast was considered a manifestation of carnal weakness, and a hearty dinner was an immoral act, however, even a normal evening meal of that time would be considered excessive today, because people living in a virtually one-time regime food had to be eaten in pro. well, and of course, the head of everything and the main food of the middle ages was bread, it

alex photographer is a middle east analyst and a ron expert for the middle east institute in washington, dc. he describes how surprised iranians were about in us dollars deck to say that there are shelves shopped into. right. and i think would be an understatement. clearly getting the dane, you have something to fill out this individual that iran has cultivated for, for a very long time, especially going back to the creation of his go back in 1982 that this individual was you just heard from kareem and bay road has been the headquarters of all for 30 years, is no longer with us. the haven't come out so far and promise anything specific other than asking for muslims solidarity. now you can read that the way you wish, but it certainly doesn't sound like you're right is ready to find anything out in just a moment. so yeah, i mean there, ron supreme liter, ayatollah ali. how many has said that the hezbollah cheese death will not go on avenged? um you just said that maybe there might not be a response soon, but what might a response look like? i mean, obviously they have tools in their, in t

a professor of middle east studies at princeton university. and of course, former us ambassador to egypt and israel daniel karcher. thank you so much for joining us. my pleasure, steve. good to talk to you. so what's the bottom line? one really has to wonder what the american game plan in the middle east is. if it's just to exit the region in the fog of conflict, blaming with contraction of american power in the world on ungrateful allies and fanatical rivals. well that's one thing. but if the us is actually working to maintain its power and influence to generate long term regional stability in a very complex region, which it says it wants that america is seriously failing. the killing by israel, of more than 40000 palestinians, mostly women and children who are a complete innocence in this conflict, as are most of the men will drive hate and instability for another generation. at least, israel thinks it can make strategic choices for the us. but it's actually whitening and deepening the problem. this conflict is far from over and it could rea

nevertheless, washington continues to block security council resolutions on a ceasefire in the middle east. the killing of palestinian civilians with american weapons must be stopped immediately. delivery to the enclave must be ensured humanitarian supplies, the restoration of infrastructure has been organized. and most importantly, it is necessary to guarantee the implementation of the legitimate right of the palestinians to self-determination, to allow them. not in words, but in deeds, as they say, to create on the ground a territorially continuous and viable state within the 1967 borders and with its capital in east jerusalem. and while high-ranking tribunes speak of the need to cease fire in the middle east, explosions are heard in the region itself. the israel defense forces again struck the dahiya region in beirut, where the leader of hezbollah was liquidated. radical. made by the movement. sayed hassan nasrul, the secretary general of hezbollah, joined the immortal great men whom he led for almost 30 years, from victory to victory. the leadership of hezbollah vows to continue t

we begin with special coverage of the news from the middle east. earlier today trent sexting confirmed that the israeli military has killed but longtime leader, hassan nasrallah, and strikes last night on apartment complex in beirut. israel claims that hezbollah was using the complex as in underground headquarters . this represents a major escalation of the back-and- forth between israel and hezbollah, which israel has intensified in the last couple weeks. the strikes killed several other high-ranking hezbollah officials and the iranian state news that says in revolutionary guard general was killed in the same strike. lebanon lawns -- and more than 100 wounded in the strikes. that number is expected to rise. nasrallah is a travertine cleric, who has led the group since 1992 and has grown the group in most powerful running back and forth and the reason both militarily and political terry. it is what is called a state within a state. he also led the group through decades of conflict with israel, participate in the syrian civil war on behalf of of the

iran has a whole galaxy of allied militias around the middle east. they have got the houthis in yemen and armed groups in syria and iraq. iran could ask these to step up their attacks on both israel and us bases in the region. but whatever response iran chooses, it will likely calibrate it to be just short of triggering a war it cannot win. and what will israel do next? well, the one thing it's not doing is pausing for a ceasefire. it reckons it's got hezbollah on the back foot now, so it'll want to press on with its military campaign until the threat of those missiles is removed. short of a hezbollah surrender, and that's pretty unlikely, it's almost inevitable that we could see this — israeli ground troops going into lebanon. they've been training for it this week. their priority will be to find and destroy those remaining missiles, many of which are underground. going in will be easy, but getting out could, like gaza, take months. frank gardner. president biden said nasrallah's death was a measure ofjustice for his victims, but the us would contin
