let's bring in mike hannah ah, who joins us now from washington. d. c. mike, who, how is this you correlation this new prime minister likely to be received in the us by the what else? well officially, up until this point, the white house and state department has brushed up any inquiries with a comment about not commenting about domestic processes and other countries. but there's no doubt within the binding whitehouse that they will be relieved that they is a different israeli government. to deal with joe biden had a long and somewhat rocky relationship with benjamin netanyahu, that stretched over decades reaching its lowest point, when biden was sent by then president obama, to strike some kind of relationship with nathan yahoo! when he arrived the nets and ordered a settlement process to get on the way in the west bank, which was seen as a direct snap to bite. and i was there at the time and overheard the very loudly raised voices in argument deep behind the walls of netanyahu's office. but certainly the binding administration has a very different policy

mike, hannah joins us now from the us capital. the mike, obviously the u. s. israel very close allies. what we heard if anything, out of the u. s. so far about this incoming change of leadership. well, on an official basis, absolutely nothing. the line from the white house from state department is that it will not comment on domestic processes in other countries. that being said, there's no doubt that there's a sigh of relief in the white house in particular with the changing government in israel now. and the way, the reason for this is because the by an administration has made very clear that it needs another type of government and israel to serve us national interests. now, it must be important to point out how different this administration is from the previous one. the trump administration was rooted in a policy with regard to israel, of self interest and, and narrow political base. the n jelly calls in the us to form a massive part of tramps support and who are very pro israel, but the bite and administration basis of policy is something else that's a m

mike, hannah has more from washington d. c. the justice department says that the iranian television and radio union had been designated a special entity back in october last year because of what it alleged was election interference. this requires all of its bodies to get special permission to operate in the united states, which the justice department said it did not do so. as a result, some 33 entities have been shut down. all the websites have been shut down by the department of justice. and now that is the situation there. but at the same time, what you have is these entities moving almost immediately within a matter of hours to radiant controlled website. so they are now continuing to operate, but the timing as well. there are some questions about that. it's only a few days since iran elected a new president. and importantly to it's only a few days since the 7th round of negotiations about restoring the nuclear view with iran concluded now the u. s. and iran are not taking part face to face in those negotiations that happeni

get more on this now from mike hannah, who's live in washington dc. so explained just what this was about, what's going on well, it was a vote to begin a debate on a massive reform of the electro system within the country. and as expected, boats came along the partisan lines. 50 democrats voted in favor of proceeding to debate. 50 republicans opposed it. now this was expected, but on this particular bill it requires a majority of 60 boats to actually pass the measure and to begin debate on this crucial bill. in the views of the eyes of democrats, the motion then is not part. they will be no debate on this bill, but certainly we've just heard from the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, making very clear the fact that that all the democrats supported this. and that all the republican supposed it showed in his view. the fact that republicans are against attempting to liberalize the voting system and provide greater access to the greater amount of people within this country. so at the stage, the bill will not go ahead. there will be no debate, but wha
