like any good east palestine?hink it's friends versus enemies and he does not see the people of east powell seen his friends because not enough of them voted for them so he is not paying attention to what is going on the ground there sean, it's important to note that this is not just a lack of leadership for the president, it's a lack of action from is a administration. as i sit here speaking sean, there are amounts of toxic dirt sitting in east palestine that southern has done out of the ground that they cannot get to the license facilities to dispose of hazardous chemicals because the joe biden administration epa is not letting them. i will repeat that because joe biden's epa is not doing its job east pales palestine sittinn the ground. what happens if the stuff seems back to the ground? it's a total disaster at every level whether it southern or the epa or somebody else it feels like the people of east palestine are being filled by pretty much everybody it's a total disgrace. >> sean: let me ask you how we can

why can't he go to east palestine? >> look, shall i think thisrsuse is all about friends versus enemies, and he does notne enee the people of east palestineou as friends because not enough of them voted for him. and so he's not paying attention to what's going on on the ground there. seandtant to, it's important toe this is not just a lack of the leadership from the president. >>as it's a lack of action from his administration. as i sit here speaking, sean, there are mounds of toxic dirt s sitting in east palestine thattf norfolk southern has dug out of the ground, that they cannotcils get to the license facilities to dispose of hazardousbide chemicals because the biden administration's epa is not letting them. i would repeat that becausei biden's epwill repeat thata is s job. it's palestine has toxic chemicals, mounds of toxic chemicals just sitting on the ground. what happens if it rains in this stuff seeps back into the ground. it's a total disaster. leve >> and at every level, whether it's norfolk, southern, the ep

over the past month i've been east palestine multiple times talking to residents of mayor, fire chief, business owners, parents but i've heard their fears for what this means for an account in the future. i met with melissa smith to run a candle making company. i learned something from her and my wife. the best candles are made from slight not actually smell better and they burn cleaner. and perhaps is better for the environments. she owns a candle company she and her daughter run. she and her husband about 4 miles away have 25 beef cattle. she has regular customers. these customers she sells to every of the buy side to be for whole beef. she told me she's getting calls from these customers saying i don't know for going to buy this year, it should be saved? she cannot promise that and they don't know. i our power to make her an accident this never happens make those residents -- 4500 residents of east palestine and the township unity township around it on east unity township is in western pa darlington township to make sure people's lives return to normal. a few key things mr. perez i

my husband is from east palestine and we chose to move from a big city to come back to east palestine to raise our family in smalltown america. we love it there. it's a great community. and we want to make east palestine great again. at the hearing alan shaw said he wants east palestine to have the greatest comeback in american history and that he is committed to making that happen. so i just really hope that he stays true to his word and that the policy makers are able to hold him accountable, the epa is able to hold him accountable, and that we're able to make that happen. but without having a clear-cut plan of how that is going to be, and he wasn't able to commit to anything today, it's really hard to see how that great comeback story is going to come to fruition. >> would you like to see president biden visit east palestine? >> i would. i think that he should have been here already, quite frankly. and so it's very disappointing that we haven't had that type of support. i know when secretary buttigieg came he did admit he should have come sooner. and it's so worthwhile to actually

that's the same concern that is shared with me by the residents of east palestine. and darlington township. i'm terribly sorry for the impact this derailment has had on the folks of that community. and, yes, it is my personal commitment that norfolk southern's commitment that we're going to be there for as long as it takes to help east palestine thrive and recover. that's my personal commitment. >> i take that as a yes. thank you. that's the answer i was looking for. next question, will you commit that norfolk southern will compensate the people in these communities for possible long-term medical costs and economic damages resulting from this disaster, yes or no, please? >> senator, we're committed to doing what's right for the folks of east palestine and the community. that's been my personal commitment since the day after this happened. i pulled my team together and i told my team, we are going to do more than less with the environmental cleanup, and we're going to do more than less with the citizens of east palestine. >> and my third question is, yes or no, will

i have been to the fire station in east palestine. they have one full-time chief and the rest are volunteers. they're not trained to deal with hazmat. the railroads continue to deal with holding back information. they continue to enrich their executives at the expense of public safety and public health and lay off workers and compromise on safety. so the fact, ohio's now had four derailments as of yesterday, four derailments in the last five months. east palestine was the most serious, but we still have questions about these other derailments too. >> but how would the bipartisan legislation you introduced this week prevent disasters like this? >> well, it does a number of things. first of all, it requires notification you're coming into the state, carrying hazardous material. you're going to notify the governor's office who will then notify local communities. we know that wheel bearings have been the cause -- overheated wheel bearings and not doing the inspections well. that will change. we want minimal crews. the railroads want to be

around 5,000 people live here in east palestine. these tracks, spewing toxic chemicals, many residents fled town leaving some of these homes empty. now many aren't sure if it will ever be safer to return. >> some nights it smells, burns your eyes. >> reporter: just 100 feet from the tracks eric whi his house has lost at least half its value and he doesn't have the means to move away. >> i didn't expect it to pollute the town with all the chemicals and toxins but here we are. >> reporter: officials say soil tests don't show harmful levels of toxins and claim the municipal water is safe. >> that's our water. >> reporter: but whiting drinks only bottled water. so in the ideal world you'd want norfolk southern to buy you out? >> i would love to be bought out and i would love to walk away. >> reporter: now as rail operator norfolk southern digs up the tracks to remove contaminated soil it's offering residents like whiting debit cards. his family's are for $3,000 to evacuate for the next few weeks. >> it doesn't make me whole. that just k

they are not from palestine, but they are supporters of the settlers. in another place, i saw a young man who was a prisoner in the zionist prisons for a year, who saw his name on the online pages of the settlers, who was threatened with death. on the night of the settlers' attack , he was shot in the air towards the house. and the settlers set fire to veera's car saying that i am a child and threatened them. look at the area and you will understand why the zionists attack havar . it is surrounded by zionist settlements and the zionists do not want a free and independent place to exist in this area. traffic for the settlers in created the region and there is no problem with this, but their problem is the resistance and stability of the people of hovar , they have not finished seeing the free and independent place twice and the future is pregnant with bigger events. here, the picture is more telling than millions of words. the zionist target is the forced alley of palestinians from this area. a bomb explosion in the path of a bulldozer was announced by t

>> miguel, thank you very much from east palestine.the democratic senator from ohio, sherrod brown, who just unveiled a bipartisan bill with ohio's republican senator j.d. vance along with others in response to this disaster. they want to prevent future train derailments. and it is a move of bipartisanship. and, senator, i want to ask you about it in just a moment. but first, we've got this developing news about the union saying that rail workers at the site of the train derailment are now sick, symptoms include migraine and nausea. do you know anything about this? do you think this is the tip of the iceberg for what many people there could suffer? >> i don't think we know. we do know that people, some people haven't gotten back into their homes. we do know that they haven't tested many water wells. i talked to melissa smith, a small business owner in east palestine who has a farm four miles away, not too different from the lady you interviewed who has 25, 30 beef cattle. and she's hearing from her regular customers that they're unsure

the conspiracy against the cause of palestine is spreading. it should be understood that an attack is answered with an attack with a bullet and the resistance is able to implement this equation without any obstacles . that is the only way we are not and there is the capacity to expand the battle. there is stable coordination within the axis of resistance to the recognition of qatar, and after the battle, the unity between this is expanding and chanting. the increase in zionist attacks is the result of the self-governing organization's negotiations with the zionists in the so-called backward meeting, a meeting away from the eyes of the media and with the presence of representatives from egypt and the united states in jordan, of course , it was already clear that this meeting would not achieve anything for the palestinians, because the zionists announced that they would not i do not take the title in front of the settlements they were not the ones who announced their opposition to the aqaba meeting and the presence of the palestinian authority i

but that is something of concern in east palestine that were really looking at. we have reported in our preliminary report that the derailment occurred on car 23 due to an overheated roller bearing or wheel bearing. you know, as a result of that we are going back and looking at everything from management system, policies, practices, decision-making, that tested conditions that about the derailment to occur in the first place. we'll look at that and see if there are any similarities with this as well. >> stepping back, what do you think of americans who are concerned is our freight rail system safe? >> at is a great question i can certainly understand the concern. hazardous materials are transported on all modes of transportation. our aviation system is the saved us -- safest that they are limited on what they can transport for dangerous materials. pipelines can also be safe as well. they have generally good safety records. how are railroads also have a good safety record. the train accidents in general for the train mouse going up so it's trending upwards. with t

the norfolk southern ceo apologized for the disaster in east palestine at a hearing before the senate. >> i want to begin today by expressing how deeply sorry i am for the impact this derailment has had on the residents of east palestine and the surrounding communitieses. events of the last month are not who we are as a company. >> ashley: congresswoman ocasio-cortez is -- for not investigating this sooner. >> hold a hearing on the derailment in east palestine, this is not just a disaster site, it is a potential crime scene. >> ashley: president biden has not visited the crash site and last week mentioned he plans to go, no word on when it will be. the white house is not agonizing over the president's visit despite people urging him to go. it took transportation secretary buttigieg to visit and he says he should have gone sooner and jd vance s, listen. >> there are mounds of toxic dirt in east palestine that norfolk southern has dug out of the ground that they cannot dispose of because the biden administration's epa is not letting them. repeat that, biden's epa is not doing their job,

and state and federal officials now say cleanup in east palestine, ohio will take roughly two months,ericka. what we're seeing crews do there is remove all the contaminated soil. then they will have to relay the track work there. we're also expected to learn a bit more about exactly what went wrong in east palestine later on this week. coming up on thursday, we will finally get to hear from the ceo of norfolk southern at a senate committee hearing on thursday. back to you. >> all right. a lot to cover there. thank you, shanelle. >>> rescue efforts are under way right now in southern california. some residents there remain trapped in their homes after a week of heavy snowfall. crews across san bernardino county are working to plow through snow piles and get supplies to people stranded in mountain communities. in northern califonia dangerous road conditions and extreme winds forced three ski resorts to just shut down in lake tahoe today. and more than 30 inches fell near uc berkeley as the region braces for yet another chilly week. >>> well, to greece now where another day of fiery prot

one of the things we saw in east palestine.he firefighters weren't aware of what was on the train when they went and responded to this train crash in the first place. we would make it so rail companies have to label these trains as high hazards so local authorities know what's on the trains. who other important things. the first is we would require nat national sensor installation would hopefully not be repeated in other situations. finally, we give the fining process teeth. right now when the train companies cause these problems, it is little more than a slap on the wrist. we actually would incrows the penalties, make it so if a train company causes what happened in east palestine they suffer some real consequences. all of this is an important part of making our railways safer and making sure what happened in east palestine either doesn't happen again or certainly happens much less frequently in the future. >> bill: we watch governor dewine live. he and his wife have arrived in east palestine and he made several trips there. y

geoff: the train that derailed in east palestine had two crewmembers and a trainee.im if the train had only had one crew member on it, which is what the railroads wanted, that the problem would have been exponentially worse as bad as it was. have you been able to come to any determination on that issue? >> not on that issue. we recommend they collect information on the number of crew members when accidents occur. what i will say is the crew did nothing wrong in this derailment. in fact, they followed the seizure, which was on -- uncoupling the locomotive from the rail and move the locomotive up about 1 mile to make sure they were safe. one thing i do want to give some credit to the federal railroad administration is yesterday they came out with a notice of proposed rulemaking that will be published in the federal register for inviting train crews with emergency escape breathing apparatus. that is a recommendation we have had on the books since 200 when two norfolk southern trains, a norfolk southern train collided with a part norfolk southern train collided and relea

the army does not support palestine to protect the people here. they don't do it, but they support the settlers. in another place, i saw a young man who was a prisoner of the zionist regime until a year ago . he saw his name on the online pages of the settlers . he was threatened with death. on the night of the settlers' attack, the air was shot at his house and the settlers' car was shot. vira was set on fire because i am a child and he appreciated it if you were in the region, you will understand why the zionists are attacking havar. the surrounding area is forbidden and the zionist settlements are forbidden, and the zionists do not want a free and independent place to exist in this region, especially because it has created traffic for the settlers in the region, and there is no problem with this, but it is their problem. the resistance and stability of the people of havar is their vision of a free and independent place , the bubble has not ended and the future is pregnant with bigger events. the zionists are forced to evacuate the palestinians

if that hadn't happened, it still be called palestine. but the far, i have always said that there has been no state of palestine, and that's partly true because of the occupations that the land has actually been under, much recently by the british in 1948. so these comments are inflammatory. they're designed to really air ratchet up the tensions, but they're also designed to play to smart riches base, which completely agrees with the kinds of things he saying. o m, ron, how does this then play out 1st lesson ya here is he now becoming increasingly isolated because of his coalition government partners where he's still making foreign trips. he's still going abroad and he's just been in berlin. he was in rome before that. and now he's going to the u. k. on thursday, so he's still making official trips abroad. but there are 2 places that he's absolutely desperate to visit. that is the united states of america in the united arab emirates. but the united arab emirates because it, he thinks that the abraham accords the piece deal, he stroked the

of hawareh in palestine and set fire to the people's houses.e than 60 palestinians, including 13 children and one the woman was martyred by the zionists. now the fame that i came to the aid of the army does not exist. now it is clear that the settlers themselves are present in the israeli government, such as smoothi , the minister of finance, or a person who has been identified as a terrorist. the way the settlers fought is completely illegal. it is estimated that there are at least 400,000 guns in the settlement. it is estimated that the israelis are armed themselves, while the civilians do not have the opportunity to have weapons. this situation is much more dangerous than the life period of the palestinians in 1948 until now, the situation has become a mess due to the madness of the settlers, be prepared, and the palestinian resistance groups demand the expansion of the resistance in the west bank in response to the crime of hawarah and to prevent the resistance from being hit. what should be portable ? is the power of allah in islam now, th
