south dakota, we just kept working. other states were experiencing record high unemployment rates we broke the national record for the lowest state employment just last year. we are creating opportunities for people to get into the career of their dreams. last week we announced an effort to expand opportunities for proportions across the state. we wanted to give workers an opportunity to get trained for a career while still bringing home a paycheck to their family. we wanted to give businesses the support they needed to start and understand apprenticeship programs. in the first two quarters since launching the effort, we've more than doubled the amount of apprenticeships from recent years. and we are just getting started. i knew that if we could to tell our story that freedom loving americans from across the country would want to be a part of what we are doing here. i knew that we needed to celebrate our success and then take the opportunity to capitalize on it, to build on it. i knew we had to show all of america that

israel and apathite south africa worked closely on nuclear research. with south african uranium proving extremely useful to israel's covert nuclear program, are we witnessing the revenge of history? as always, we're joined by our resident expert david miller. david is academic and a former professor at bristol university, and is a leading british scholarly critic of israel. david is also the co-founder and co-director of the lobby and watch dog spinwatch. our guest contributor today is sam hasseini who joins us from washington. dc via skype. sam is a palestinian, american independent journalist who's been piercing through the establishment's falsifications for more than 25 years. he formerly worked for the media watchdog group fairness and accuracy in reporting and he's contributed to a variety of publications including the washington post usa today and counterpunch. and as the senior analyst at the institute for public accuracy, he's been writing for at least decade about the case for invoking the genocide convention against israel at the international court of. justice, welcome to the

to dispel south africa is absurd blood libel. how tragic, but the rainbow nation that prides itself on fighting racism will be fighting pro bono for anti jewish, racist palestinians in garza and the rest of the well, we'd be looking closely at the quotes response to south africa's request. a provisional routing could come within weeks, but any final judgement is expected to take years. so why is it that we're seeing south africa spring? this case is our course on it. diane hawk are in johannesburg. most of africa believes it has. there's responsibility for a number of reasons. the 1st being that it is a signatory to the a genocide convention any joint that convention in 1994 just shortly off the sub africa obtained its own a democratic state. and the 2nd reason that the south african government has as put forward is that because own cost of having lived through segregation and discrimination under the apartheid state. and so the african believes that there is an affinity between what happened to south africa and what is happening

many south africans praised their government for supporting the people of gaza. >> south africa is very brave to have done what it has done. i am hoping -- it works to ensure palestine come the people of palestine get the justice they deserve. amy: in more news on gaza, the ngo save the children says more than 10,000 palestinian children have been killed by israel's assault. that is 1% of the total child population in gaza. at least 1000 children have lost one or both limbs. this comes as doctors warn conditions inside gaza's remaining hospitals continue to deteriorate amid israeli attacks and dwindling supplies. >> today the area around the hospital was hit. we even started to run out of medical supplies. sadly, we have cases we can't do anything about. we have nothing to offer. this is very sad and bad, to be honest. we hope and he said will be able to ensure the ability for the medical staff to work. amy: the intercept has obtained documents suggesting the u.s. air force sent officers to israel in november to help provide intelligence, including satellite data, to help israel pick ta

south africa's ambassador to the netherlands took the floor stating that south africa recognize the ongoing nachba uh, which means the expulsion of the palestin. people through israel's colonization since 1948. the south african justice minister also delivered a speech at the hearing at the icj uh as the uh the court hearing uh is underway hundreds have demonstrated outside the icj um large number of pro-palestinian demonstrators have gathered expressing their support uh for the... palestinian cause and for this case being brought against the israeli regime, this case of genocide being committed against palestinians in gaza, adila hassim who is an advocate representing south africa's case uh took to the floor, listing israeli genocidal conduct in gaza. um, the advocate spoke of the mass killing of palestinians in gaza, and that the killing was so extensive that nowhere is safe uh in gaza, 23,210 people have been killed up until that point, most of them women and children. israel has dropped at least 200, 2,0 lb bombs on gaza and... that the un has described gaz as a graveyard for children,

israel has accused south _ south africa yesterday.uth africa of weaponisation the genocide convention and pointed out that israel was one of the first signatories to this convention. this is all a matter of interpretation for thejudges. is all a matter of interpretation for the judges. yesterday, is all a matter of interpretation for thejudges. yesterday, we heard from south africa, referring to the military bombardments, the enforced displacement of people, the lack of humanitarian aid, starvation, dehydration, statements by senior israeli politicians which, south africa said, amounted to proof of genocidal intent. israel is arguing today this is an inaccurate interpretation of events on the ground. israel says it is acting in self—defence, under international humanitarian law. lucy, ijust want to spin the camera around you might be able to hear some of the crowds here outside the international court ofjustice in the hague. we arejust going to see if we can focus down on some of those flags which will be very familiar by now. what yo

shied away give us some context as to uh why south south africa has been so keen on on taking this action against the israely regime well one thing of course is that uh south africa has a relationship as as a state has a relationship from 1994-95 with the palestinians, before that of course our liberation movement had relations particularly with the plo, so there is that kind of a context, and also the other context is that apartate south africa and apartate israel had very close relationships including in the development of nuclear weapons, so that's one part of the background, but if i can say as as a critic of the south. government that what the government has done over the past three and a half months on the palestinian issue is more than it has done in the past 30 years frankly, so so what spurred it on in the past three and half months, i think that part of it was just the the sense that israel has now gone way beyond any any kind of sense of decency in terms of its in terms of its actions, beyond being. sensible beyond being acceptable and so it took a number of steps, mean the rel

south africa requests this court to discharge that critical protective power, and south africa does so by virtue of its own clear right and solem obligations held towards the international community. as a whole, for the court to indicate one or more provisional measures, there must also be a link between the rights, the protection of which is sort, and the provisional measure being requested. such a link manifestly exists, we say between the rights claim by south africa in its application, and the provisional measures requested, which are directly linked to the rights which form the subject matter of the dispute. the provisional measures sort, therefore ensure the protection of rights, which might ultimately form the basis of the judgment in the exercise of the court's jurisdiction in due course. the rights at stake in these proceedings are certainly at least plausible, grounded in a possible interpretation of the convention, and as the convention imposes on parties the obligation to prevent and punish genocide under article one, and in doing so intends to protect groups and parts of g

and so many south africans, not necessarily surprised, we've bought from the south african governments, including the international relations minister. now lady ponder, who has said that israel has an added obligation as the occupier of an occupied territory and people to abide by the genocide conventions or prevents a genocide including what south africa is cooling connective punishments while they are many south africans, like so many behind us where i've come to the palestinian embassy, where we all to watch proceedings at the port is also the jewish board of deputies which sees, represents a, the jewish community in south africa. and it's condemned. the south african government saying that while the then approaching the quotes, this is time that could be spent in a positive way. what it says a more positive way and speaking to impose the sides in this conflict. uh, it has been critical of the south african government throughout the war on gaza. their position hasn't changed, but given south africa's history of a, par, tate colonialism and an racism. this is something that many sout

south africa. some lawyers have asked the court phone urgent injunction saying in their words, the world is watching in horror. that's how genocide and god is unfolding as we speak. nothing. it can ever justify genocide, no matter what some individuals within the group of palestinians, a ghost of may have done no matter how great the threat to his regular citizens might the genocidal attacks on the whole of garza, the whole of its population with the intent of destroying them cannot be justified genocide case will possibly take us to finalize and people in gaza. don't have the luxury to wait. an unprecedented case here at the pace palace in the hague. and that will be for as a state laid out such a details. expensive and gruesome genocide case in front of the international court of justice. south africa has made a compelling argument that the world's highest court tooth or israel to stop its military campaign in gaza as soon as possible. urgent injunctions by the international court of justice of b

south africa. south africa. africa's a partide prime minister daniel molan was the first foreign prime minister to visit tel aviv following the nakba. hendrick vevor, a south african apartide architect and prime minister, even claimed in 1961 that israel, like south africa, is an apart state. that was six decades before amnesty international said the same. in order to improve the image of apartide in south africa, israel and the apartite authorities established a joint secretariat. for political and psychological warfare in 1975. by 1981, the apartide army in south africa had 200 israeli military advisors and hundreds of apathy troops were also educated in israeli military academies. israeli military instructors provided direct guidance to the south african reconnaissance commando's elite unit in particular. elbit systems, israel's largest arms business, played a key role in the development. of south africa's military electronics industry. south africa's naval forces were also trained in israel and

that the nobel peace prize be given to south africa. in response to a message that linked the killing of women and children in gaza to the war between tel aviv and hamas , colombia emphasized that their killing was done by the direct order of netanyahu and he must be held accountable for these crimes. at the same time, 250 spanish lawyers signed the letter. o from their own government they wanted to join the case of south africa's complaint in the international court of justice . south africa's complaint against the zionist regime's genocide was raised in this body last thursday and friday , and now, as i announced at the beginning of the program, it will be hosted by mr. behnam habibzadeh. lawyers, regarding the fact that you expressed your desire and readiness to join the complaint filed by south africa against the zionist regime, if you agree, before we discuss the matter further, my colleagues will prepare a report about the complaint of south africa , and i will see the report. lawyers or jurists are the last to decide this case to

and since they have been efforts to undermine south africa, according south africa, the legal arms of how miles or alleging that south african bank, or financing have laws, but privately is really officials all where a so they do that uh the uh, the provisional measure of calling uh for a ceasefire. oh and so is really choose to pull out of gas. i will not be adopted, but they do fill out the quote. good cool. for example, on the free flow of humanitarian aid into gaza, like food, water, electricity, fuel, or adults also cool on other enduring measures to be adopted. i think it israel, in all cases it, there is an acknowledgment that whatever the outcome this whole case is a stain on. israel's also because is role is very much aware of the high number of casualties according to the military itself. at least 60 percent of the casualties in the gaza are a civilian. so that's a very large number even though if it's not the 25000 that helps the officials and guys that are saying is, well at least admit that at least a 2000. so far as the videos have been killed and it knows that it's real

how do you think she will approach south africa's application?t power does she have to shape the proceedings? >> that is a good question. donahue is a lifelong career u.s. state department legal of a russian, which is how she got the job. i am sure she is in contact right now today with the u.s. state department, giving them a heads up on everything going on over at the hague behind the scenes. she will tow the state department party line in these proceedings. i regret to report the president does have a lot of power there to shape these proceedings. i suspect she will use that power to shape the proceedings in favor of israel. however, i have also been advised the republic of south africa is as of now nominating a judge ad hoc. that is their right under the statute of international court of justice. i don't have an, but i would hope the south african judge ad hoc will do his or her best to try to keep donahue straight. amy: i want to go back to south africa, who has done this genocide filing. in 2008, i had the opportunity to speak with the sout

actions that south africa is taking and has stepped forward. thank you very much. i was very happy to participate in this program. thank you, now we have a chance to see a report and review what happened in the court itself before the result is announced today, 15 judges came here to the headquarters of the international court of justice to hear the 80-page petition of south african lawyers about the elevation of the zionist regime to genocide. i would like to check from the court. hold this meeting as soon as possible thank you for the time possible to process south africa's request. south africa's request refers to the continuous suffering of the palestinian people due to the occupation of israel since 1948. israel's request to evacuate hospitals starvation of 97 % of gaza residents violence against women and girls and premature babies is part of genocide. gaza has become a cemetery and furnace of despair because of the crimes committed by israel. there are obvious reasons that show that there was a decision to commit genocide in gaza. the ga

in south saddam. it's not a success story for the population which is amazing, rated and hungry. and we shouldn't forget the real travails implying. but the not think in all of this stuff cannot be without a political solution, but i don't think this is a failure of the international communities if it's wished. well, i think this is largely created with the acquiescence of the international community. we have to remember that huge amounts of done to funds went into building what was basically a collect a credit state. and we have to remember that an app. yeah, we've had a peacekeeping force units for that, which has since its inception, over a decade ago, failed to remove the sidney's army from the north of the turret street. so and you know, the entire cup, the credit system is enabled by commodity brokers by the logics of global finance. it's to sort of, i think basically neo colonial to say, oh, we gave these people to stay and we, sorry they failed. but the failures of this state are very much the

our people that live in south dakota, that is south dakota story.our state has the best state motto in the nation under god. the people rule. but that could as well be a national motto as well. in america, we are not we will not be ruled by a class of so-called elite experts. we the people are the. but in a lot of ways, it's a story that is just getting started. we gained the nation's attention during the pandemic. we set an example of freedom for the rest of the country. and i hope that south dakota can continue to set an example the rest of the nation, when it comes to work as well. it would have been easier for me to follow the crowd definitely and to shut down our state. it would have been easier for me to tell dakotans to stay home. don't go wo it would've been easier for me to tell south dakotans to stay home, don't goo to work, rely on the government money to get by. but we did not do what was easy. we worked hard and we get it together. as president coolidge said, i cannot think of anything that represents the american people so adequately a

of genocide brought by south africa. and rishi sunak makes a surprise visit to kyiv as the uk announces its £2.5 billion aid package for ukraine. let's go straight to the hague and bring you some of the pictures from inside the international court of justice, where it is hearing israel's response to south africa allegations that it is committing genocide in gaza. this is the final day of hearings at the un's hi scott. south africa is asking the icj to issue an injunction to stop israel's campaign and israel is arguing that it is acting in self—defence according to humanitarian law. yesterday south africa achieves the highest levels of the israeli state of nurturing genocidal intent against palestinians in gaza. let's listen in to the court.— palestinians in gaza. let's listen in to the court. these commitments are a matter — in to the court. these commitments are a matter of _ in to the court. these commitments are a matter of express _ in to the court. these commitmentsj are a matter of express government policy, milita

to dispel south africa is absurd. blood libel, south africa is, is vials biggest trading partner on the african continent. but it's a governing ponti, the african national congress. a and c continues to criticize as well as occupational policy and territory in november, south africa recalled it's diplomats from as well. and has since become it's still just critic. we think that the easiest way to explore the case of genocide unfolding. we think that the number of people being killed, particularly children. it has a significant level of gravity to it. and that in, in line with ours and he does those responsibilities as signatories to the genocide convention, we have a duty to prevent a punish genocide. south african lawyers believe they have a strong case of the ones high school. they say he's well is either committing jealous sides or failing to prevented the case may drag on for months or years. it will be asked you to investigate the crime of genocide. it's not going to come up with criminal consequences. it's going to come up with consequences such as reparations apologies the sorts

the other part of this is what their actual strategy is in south carolina.ve reached out if they're going to run any ads, have not heard back, the part of their strategy appears to be trying to embarrass or humiliate nikki haley in her home state. they did it already the past weekend in new hampshire. they had senator tim scott from south carolina endorse him before the new hampshire primary, and then campaign alongside him, but it wasn't just tim scott. it was also the governor of south carolina who had no reason to be in new hampshire campaigning but was up here for donald trump as well as several congressmen who have been from south carolina who are up here and endorsed donald trump. that's clearly the strategy to say that even in her own home state people are supporting the former president. as for, again, what their actual strategy is going to be, and messaging there, that's something we're still working with the campaign to try to figure out. >> and you will figure it out. great to see you, kristen, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >>> john, here

you might not think of him in south dakota but you should. 192727 he spent his entire summr in southakota. he planned to only spend three weeks with us but he loved it so much he ended up spending three months. at the time there was a man hard at work working to carve faces on a mountain. president coolidge visited that summer even though his work wouldn't be completed for another 14 years. the famously frugal coolidge even promised federal funding foraw the project. he saw what it could become stating that this memorial will be another national shrine to future generations to repair, to declare the continuing allegiance to self-government, freedom and economic justice. later in the same speech he talked about south dakota and saidid the people are taking the lead in the preparation of the memorial out of their resources because the spirit is strong among them. i could not agree more. the summer white house that year was the state game lodge in custer state park. i can't blame him forit that at all. it's my favorite place in the world. the sweeping hills are home to herds of bison ma

south africa lawyer was next. she began by citing israel's bombing campaign in gaza in her opening argument. >> for the past 96 days, israel has subjected gaza to what has been described as one of the heaviest conventional bombing campaigns in the history of modern warfare. palestinians in gaza are being killed by israeli weaponry and bombs from air, land, and sea. they are also at immediate risk of death by starvation, dehydration, and disease as a result of the ongoing siege by israel, the destruction of palestinian towns, the insufficient aid being allowed through to the palestinian population, an impossibility of distributing this limited aid while bombs fall. this conduct renders essentials to life unattainable. amy: she continued laying out what south africa says was a series of genocidal acts, including mass killing, displacement, denial of humanitarian aid, and more. she began on the mass killing of palestinians in gaza. >> the first genocidal act committed by israel is the mass killing of palestinians in

south and indeed. one day before even the adoption of the universal declaration of human rights, this convention was approved by the united nations, that is , the countries that signed this convention, if anywhere in the world. if a conflict occurs and there is a difference of opinion between the governments, they can refer to the international court of justice based on the text of the convention itself do it and make it a sentence , exactly this authority exists for all member states , even if the killing and those violations did not happen in their territory, the procedure of the international court of justice in similar cases related to killing like naskshi of myanmar, like naskshi actually announced this in besni sabrinaists . that in fact, all governments are zainaf and if this convention is violated, any government can actually file a lawsuit as a victim and zainaf , here no one can tell south africa or any government what it has to do with you. we were not in this land, we are not, no, this obje

be from south africa. therefore, i think that this is an issue that should be solved by our diplomatic and political frameworks. but the other discussion that you were discussing is what else iran can do, in terms of the so-called same thing that i told you, in terms of fighting. iran's resistance has really been underestimated, but in other places we are far behind other places, for example sanctions zionist products are now all over the world, even our neighboring countries, the arab countries, are even banning coca-cola for generations, but unfortunately, in iran, these are really spreading, and there is no sanction at all, many of my friends abroad have they boycott this, when they see something in iran , they don't expect it, i am really shocked, how is it possible that iran, which is so supportive of the oppressed palestinian people , has such products freely and even in the conferences for the defense of the palestinian people , this soft drink and other things should be served, yes, sir shajre, i t

so why is south africa bringing this case? i asked her correspondent diane hawker and it's johanna spark. most of africa believes it has. there's responsibility for a number of reasons. the 1st being that it is a signatory to the a genocide convention that he joined to that convention in 1994 just shortly off to sub africa obtained its own democratic states. and the 2nd reason that the south african government has, as put forward is of africa's own cost of having lived through the segregation and discrimination under the apartheid state. and so there for to believes that there is an affinity between what happened to south africa and what is happening in gaza . and has decided to bring that forward a to the international court of justice and raising a number of issues as, as summarized by my colleagues. and tell us more about that history and south africa's support and, and solidarity for the palestinian cause. so the, so the derek g t, it goes back a number of years as far back to nelson mandela's period as the liberation of f

african, and as a south african i'm particularly proud that the best legal minds within south africa together with the support of the government have taken this particular case to the ic. and exposed israel for what it is, the genocidal colonial settler state. the second part is the legal implications. this is a tremendous victory, and if you look at it objectively, effectively, when you look at what was asked for in the papers by the south african government, approximately, i would say 80% if i have to estimate was given to the south africans in terms of the relief sort. israel, yes it is not calling for a cease fire, however i believe "the purpose of the genocide convention is to stop genocidal acts, not conflict in itself, and this is a differentiation that was raised by israel at some point, however, the bulk of what was quoted by the speaker, justice donahu was from the south african governmentts papers, so this is tremendous victory, it exposes israel for what it is, it places the legal sword on the neck of israel and it" now compels them to change the methodology within razza

he accused south africa of hypocrisy and says where what south africa was millions of people were murderedplays in syria and yemen by hamas's partners. the u.s. is standing by israel s saying it sees no basis for allegations of genocide, according to john kirby. here is the latest from the hague. correspondent: this is the peace palace, home to the international court of justice, the highest judicial body of the united nations based in the hague. we have been hearing from south africa accusing israel of having genocidal intent in committing genocide ainst palestinians in gaza. evidence presented in court referred to the military bombardment which has led to the deaths of approximately 23,000 people, according to the hamas-run health ministry, but also the forced displacement of much of the population. the attempt to impede medical supplies cause death according to south africa due to lack of access, but statements from senior israeli officials which south africa says our evidence of genocidal intent. in terms of what happens next, israel wl have a chance to present his defense on friday fo

shied away give us some context as to why south south africa has been so keen on on taking this action against the israeli regime? well one thing of course is that south africa has a relationship as as a state has a relation relationship from 1994-95 with the palestinians, before that of course our liberation movement had relations particularly with the plo, so there is that kind of a context, and also the other context is that apartate south africa and apartate israel had very close relationships including in the development of nuclear weapons, so that's one part of the background, but if i can say as as a critic of the south african government that what the government has done over the past three and half months on the palestinian issue is more than it has done in the past 30 years frankly, so so what spurred it on in the past three and half months, i think that part of it was just the the sense that israel has now gone way beyond any any kind of sense of decency in terms of its in terms of its actions, beyond being defensible, beyond being acceptable, and so it took a number. steps,

and apartheid south africa.back around to the peace palace, now, you can't see them but behind the gates, a little further down, police have created a cordin to try to keep the two rival groups of supporters apart —— a cordon. israeli supporters have gathered and set up a symbolic shabbat table with images of some of the israelis who are still being held hostage by hamas in gaza, attached to the backs of empty chairs. this is turning into a legal battleground and the decision from the judges battleground and the decision from thejudges here battleground and the decision from the judges here on these battleground and the decision from thejudges here on these interim measures, we are talking about, not the fundamentals, the merits of the case, the interim injunction will be ruled upon within a matter of weeks. it could be quite soon. thank you, anna holligan, in the hague. the us, the uk and eight other countries which are taking part in a mission to protect shipping in the red sea — following a series of attacks

they wake up in south carolina. south carolina is happening the minute new hampshire is over, i'm curious, nikki haley doesn't speak until tonight. i don't know when donald trump is next there. does it feel like there's a campaign frenzy in south carolina this morning? >> reporter: to be very honest, no, it does not at this point. now, part of that may be because we are looking at a primary that is still one month away. but, some of it may also be, because look, nikki haley finished third in iowa, she finished second in new hampshire, and it wasn't necessarily as close as perhaps some of the polls were predicting, and that is something that voters did talk to me about this morning, saying that they are afraid that this is just, perhaps, prolonging the inevitable. i had several haley fans tell me they were concerned about what staying in the race might mean for her political future in, in fact, it is a trump landslide, one month from now, and now, look, many of them telling me they hope that's not the case. they do s

since the substance has been very clearly portrayed by south africa, south africa has relied on international shows of the you and the other, the other organizations it doctors without borders, so on so forth. that's 11 opposite of ation. that struck me the most, which was not totally unexpected, but to be honest. another, to be honest, more than just opposite of ation, that they had the about the, is there any defensive city? is that it was somehow softly appealing to the personal and political perceived inclination of the judges, which is which is something that made me very uncomfortable to be honest. okay. the we, we understand that the, the, the i, c, g and, or the dimension ball collage is a mixture of law and politics. this is something that any legal practitioner knows by how like, this is something that is very evident. international law is not the same like domestic law, the much more complications. however, as far as the i, c g is concerned, it's the most prestigious court. it's the judicial organ. uh, okay. not to mention, it has proved to be quite professional. i would say in the
