u. s. congress hearing, chew faced questions about the social media platforms, alleged relationship with the chinese communist party and it's use of data. israel's defense minister has cancelled and addressed to the nation after being called into a meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. you have got aunt was expected to call for an end to a controversial overhauled of the judiciary. earlier israel's parliament passed the 1st of several doors to limit to the power of the supreme court. the judicial reform proposals have prompted months of protests. from the future, we are determined to responsibly promote the democratic reform that will restore the proper balance between the authorities and yourself. corn. i will do everything everything to calm the situation and unite the rift in the nation. because we are, all brothers are not also on thursday, israel's parliament passed to law that limits the grounds for removing a prime minister from office. he can only be for health, for mental reasons, and only the prime minister or government can make the decision. critics say the lord spe

u. s. would take very strong action if any of their people were injured. and so no, the question will be, will there be a father response from the u. s. or is this a moment where they try to restart, restore some sort of come to the area. there's also questions to be asked. none of them seem to be being asked directly to the pentagon. but why is the us still in syria? of course, there are no un resolutions saying there should be there. there is no reason under international law that they should be there yet. they continue to have a presence in syria. remember, the soldiers moved in a, at the time that i saw was building up its force. it was the whole idea of donald trump, of confronting, at the i. so caliphate i and the u. s. troops decided that it was decided that you as troops would stay tuned, the wards of then president donald trump, protect the oil and fight to grab the oil. was what he said on at least one or 2 occasions. so that has in the last few hours, been this escalation. clearly, that's not something that the u. s. want to continue. the question will be, will there b

u. s. l formally being in that particular role. so what does this new development now mean for western powers? in particular, the u. s. and it's relation to the region. it raises a lot of questions i think, and these questions had been brewing for some time. we know that the saudis and the u. s. at long had a positive relationship, but in recent years that's become more fractures. the iranian u. s. relationship is a long been fractious. so i think in the past the us would have occupied this mediator. we role, but now it sort of raises questions about the extent to which the us can take on this type of media to roll and the extent to which the us wants to take on this mediator role. i think those are questions that will come to light in the coming months and just a briefly, if you would, what could this deal mean for the region itself? is it really a step towards stability? i think it's a positive step because the saudis and the ratings have been embroiled in a rivalry that has taken on fractious components across the region. but, and this is a really important point. i think it doesn't bring an end to all of the other points of conflict and division across the region. there are

so at this point in the testimony, we heard a rather harsh questioning of u. s. officials are where they pressed the seo of the tick tock corporation about why a similar censorship measure was not being used for content directed at the united states as was done with contact directed at the chinese mainland. now tick tock has faced a wave of the allegations that it is somehow a mechanism for spreading chinese influence or spying on americans for the chinese government in 2020, at hired a u. s. citizen. as it's c e o, and the company has set up privacy protection centers, a transparency centers in both the united states and in europe in order to ensure the privacy and protection of its users in order to make clear that their data not being used for some nefarious purpose i, however, these answers have not been satisfactory to the u. s. government u. s. officials continue to hurl allegations against tick tock as we saw in today's congressional hearings. a. it's also worth noting that a 150000000 people use tick tock around the world, and that number continues to ri

u. s. is never a boon, but a bane for the world. so my question to you is just how worried do you think washington should be about such developments and rhetoric worried now really is the role that america plays. i completely agree with professor maroney, when he said the world has changed. he's too polite to spell it out in crude terms, but basically, america's normal calling. the shots, you know, we, commentators, such as myself, are wondering how much longer we use the term usaa gemini, when we, when we come on talk, shows like, like yours. i'm, you know, really, this is the last nail in the coffin. now, of us leadership around the world, the fact that the chinese stepped up to the mark and broke this deal was pretty amazing. so i think lots of play for, i'm very exciting, completely unprecedented. i didn't ever think i'd be on a torture. talking about g iranian peace. a landmark deal to restore diplomatic relations between former rival iran and saudi arabia had derail israeli strategies in the middle east. the agreement, brokers by china is se

u. s. federal reserve. he has to answer some questions before a congressional committee tomorrow. now this is a standing appointment that he has, but currently inflation in the u. s. is still far above target. is how going to be in the hot seat this time around? well, i guess we really do not have to be jealous about the j pilot said job for this week. 20 talks in front of the congress on tuesday and also again on a wednesday, i mean the federal reserve had hinted that they will continue to increase some interest rate, especially at the labor market. recently it was red hot and i could imagine that some of the politicians will ask and so if it isn't too much what the federal reserve is doing and that it would do too much harm on the us labor market overall . so definitely it's tough spot to be on and then we will hear more on tuesday and wednesday of well, we'll be asking you about that. of course. that was the court in new york. thank you. now the trees are already helping with energy costs. now france is putting pressure on the food industry. many supermarkets are already adverti

unlike previous generations where those generations were taught not to question a, the u. s. government and not to question why we're going to war, but that it your duties ago. and if you're a good citizen, then you'll go. but now our, our youth are, are not being fooled by these narratives and climate change, i think has a lot to do with that. and you have access to information on the front lines of resistance, sort of violence against the land. like you have standing rock, you have missing a murdered indigenous women. you have the hypocrisies and contradictions of the u. s. right in our faces. and we're able to talk about it now in ways that we weren't able to talk about it before, especially after the trump era. and so with the u. s being the largest polluter in the world, the largest holder of real estate in the world with more than 4800 defense sites, everywhere on all continents in more than 160 countries. i think jen z, it's really connected with what the impacts of that are and, and as you said in that, in that quote, i mean, absolutely, it was a complete waste of li

u. s. has gone unanswered. these questions still need to regulation the cma. i was specifically highlight the need to work on a multi sided, legally binding instrument to prevent an arms race and space. the need for such a document has risen significantly as the u. s. and their allies attempt to conduct military operations and had achieved military dominance in space. western proposed actions in space cannot solve the principal issue of safeguarding spaces is on of overall security, which shall be free from armed opposition to conversely, these western proposals are invented to conceal the creation of accelerated, military capacity building. and in subsequent implementation. your new scope of we welcomed on to the program earlier former pentagon senior security policy unless michael maloof, who sees the trend of suspending these arms treaties as simply making the world more dangerous. we're getting further away from global disarmament. and with this trend toward rearmament and not wanting to a 5 by existing treaties, it's going to make the world more dangerous

u. s. diplomacy? thanks for the question. you know the chinese communist party in my view as a wolf, that sometimes dawns the disguise of a sheep smiling, attempting to charm folks and talking about when, when solutions and every now and then they let that disguise drop and we see their wolf warrior essence. and i think that's a little bit what we're getting here with this new foreign minister. so i, for my partner, i'm a little less focused on whatever disguise they happen to be wearing at the moment . a little bit more focus on the essence of the regime. they're what they're doing in, gen, jang, and what they are seeking to do against taiwan, who has more to lose when to super powers, engage like this. i think the world stands to lose. i don't think this is a conflict between the united states and china. i think there's the conflict between a chinese cummins party and the free world broadly defined. and i'm not afraid to use that term. i think they want to recap, recreate an international order and their authoritarian image

questions for take talk. the c e o of the chinese social media giant gets grilled before the u. s. congress. open data privacy, world athletics council bands and transgender women athletes from elite competition . and 2 months on earthquake survivors and her kia looked to the future, as they observed ramadan. ah, a senior diplomat from zimbabwe has agreed to launder more than a $1000000000.00 in cash. and what he believed to be a meeting with chinese gangsters, al jazeera investigative unit, has found a diplomat, was videotaped making the offer in a meeting with undercover reporters as part of an investigation by al jazeera, into networks in africa that use gold to launch the vast sums of money. but angel is a british, as in bob, when businessman and the presidential envoy, he claims to have made it to the africa, forbes rich list in 2013. his net worth is around $60000000.00, and he calls himself the profit of success. alexander james has this exclusive report to see you and undercover reporters posing as chinese criminals. meet one of cimbawe boys, my senior diplomats. i'd like them up as
