it is great to be out of washington dc.on't know if any of you have challenges with your coworkers sometimes, but i've had a few lately. i've got one that wants to throw hamas pep rallies in the capitol building. another when he does not want to turn in his homework he pulls the fire alarm. i saw the senate judiciary midi room was trending today on social media, and don't click on it if you have not already. it is not what you think, something far worse. it seems crazy stuff is always going on in that crazy town. it is great to be in america's heartland. usually this time of year it is mostly folks from iowa going to florida, not the other way around. we call you all snowbirds when you come down to florida with your big tent sweatshirts on. you go walk on the beach in like 50 degree weather and you get in the water, which is just amazing to us. we assume you are all part polar bear. i shared that story earlier at a meeting with some of our volunteers at the cedar rapids headquarters, and afterwards a guy that served in viet

protest in washington dc. a city that has been made famous throughout history for protest against injustice is robert. i don't think so. i think what people have learned is, you know, don't break into the speaker, but house office and smear free seeds on the wall. they don't steal to let turn. i think that we can set, that is to bring the general rules of how peaceful protests go with the thing. people understand that. but what i, what, what we have still sitting within the profile, assuming and march is taking place. whereas got violent that they got violent, but they, they did not try to scan the capitals. and i think that like with a one take way has been that we are having a protest. even there is comfortable rethinking. there is some level of discourse or internet for a police officer. the people understand what the parameters are. and i think that's been the, the, the kind of the little guard real to have been said by january 5th events. i don't think they have this way that people are going to begin aga

well, i can say as, as you said, i live here in washington dc. i've been here for about so we weren't there. oh, you did not go down. oh, i did not go there on january 6, but i think i could probably speak for not just washington dc, but interstate. he's all around the country and that the no, we don't believe that the election was stolen. ida, i think we can save that. but on january 6, and i do agree with larry, i actually attended the very 1st rally, which was the millions of like a millions mag a march or something that was in november of 2021. it was absolutely peaceful. there was another rally our week after the election. there was a week after the election. there was another a rally that occurred sometime in dfcs, emberts january 6th, was the 3rd rally. so as to the question of why didn't people expose, you know, expect it to be violent because of the 1st 2 were not violent at all. there were security failures all around the board, but i don't think that there was anything deliberate behind it. we know that this is mary mariel bowels are r

medical hand is more from the court house in washington, dc. is a potentially very significant here in here in washington dc. in front of the 3, just 3 appellate judges. this is all about donald trump's charges that he tried to overturn the election he's facing for felony counts with the potential of up to 55 years in prison. he's appealed to the judge said that he's immune from prosecution . his trial judge denied that. so now he has sent it to the appeals court and the 3 judge panel heard arguments today. now he is basically saying that because he's president, he's amused then because of the separation of powers, the justice department can't go after him. and because of anything, he does an office under the official capacity. that means he's meeting prosecutor say he was acting as a candidate. and that said that would set a formal precedent in the future if presidents were allowed to commit crimes at office and not be able to be held criminally liable. now trump made sure he didn't have to, but he made sure to attend this hearing today and sp

and he's joining us live from washington dc. thank you very much for your time. you open eyes ation is one of those that's broke this case against bite. and then the secretaries of state and defense tell us why you believe they are liable on the us legal for failing to prevent genocide and gaza. you see in addition to the international law which prohibits the crime of genocide, there is also u. s. laws that prohibit the crime of genocide and there is a procedure to challenge and to bring a case against individuals as well as the officials for complicity in the crime of genocide. and this is the nature of the civil cause. a court case, a case that was brought in california in oakland, california, and the case is supporting $5000.00 and it's of various civil rights organizations . but the justice department attorney jane lynn argued that this quote has no authority over foreign policy matches. and the judge himself said that the primary concern for the port is the limitation of its own jurisdiction. reach has a case like this being rules and the us of them quote be

at the same time continuing and allowing the conflict to go on. well, there's no peace camp in washington dc. now americans, as i mentioned earlier are not in favor of continuing or escalating support for israel, particularly and interestingly enough when you look at younger americans who don't have the same baggage, the support for israel is much, much lower among young americans, you see lot more protest. hence the crackdowns on free speech in the us universities that we've seen uh, but absolutely washington dc is walking log step, and if biden, if biden does anything to deescalate, well he'll have the republicans on his back saying, biden is showing weakness in the middle east, why aren't we bombing yemen already, why aren't we bombing iran? they're gonna go lindsay graham on everyone, if biden even does show some diplomacy, so i grant that to you, that's a very, very a very good point, uh, crocodile tears are being cried, i think. well - glenn, do you think that these western countries or western regimes have totally discredited themselves since this genocide has started? um, i mean, you

but also let's remember that support for israel is bipartisan, is the most bipartisan thing in washington. dc is the one thing that both parties with very few exceptions can agree on, which is a blind support for israel and a disregard for actual us national interest which aren't in supporting israel by any stretch of the imagination uh, there really is nothing in it for the administration, but president biden set the stage initially after the october 7 situation where he flew over to israel and basically gave them the green light to do anything they wanted, we're not going to put any breaks on, you can do whatever we want, whatever you want, and by the... here's the money and weapons to do so, even bypass congress twice now to send more weapons to israel illegally without congressional approval, so it's a newjerk reaction, but the interesting thing develop, the interesting development here is that something very different has happened, which is that public opinion in the united states for once is not going along with the leadership. now recent polls have showed that barely half of americans

well, there's no peace camp in washington dc, you now, americans, as i mentioned earlier, are not... in favor of continuing or escalating support for israel, particularly and interestingly enough when you look at younger americans who don't have the same bagage, the support for israel is much, much lower among young americans, see lot more protest, hence the crackdowns on free speech in the us universities that we've seen uh, but absolutely washington dc is walking lockstep, and if biden, if biden does anything to deescalate, well he'll have the republicans on his back saying biden is showing weakness in the middle east, why aren't we bombing yemen already, why aren't we bombing iran? they're going to go lindsay graham on everyone uh, if biden even does show some diplomacy, so i grant that to you, that's a very, very a very good point, uh, a crocodile tears or... being cried, i think. well, uh, glenn, do you think that these western countries or western regimes have totally discredited themselves since this genocide has started? um, i mean, your assessment of that, whether we're talk

but also let's remember the support for israel is biparted and is the most bipartisan thing in washington dc is the one that both parties with very few exceptions can agree on, which is a blind support for israel and a disregard for actual us national interests which aren't in supporting israel by any stretch of the imagination uh, there really is nothing in it for the administration, but president biden set the stage initially after the october 7 situation where he flew over to israel and basically gave them the green light to do anything they wanted, we're not going to put any breaks on, you can do whatever we want, whatever you want, and by the way, here's the money and weapons to... so even bypass congress twice now to send more weapons to israel illegally without congressional approval, so it's a newjerk reaction, but the interesting thing develop, the interesting development here is that something very different has happened, which is that public opinion in the united states for once is not going along with the leadership. now recent polls have showed that barely half of americans and

seen on gd associate professor of national security studies at the marine corps university in washington dc. welcome to dw. so what do you make of blinking meetings today? so he has an uphill battle, i think, with the turkish authorities because this increased concern going forward since the october 7 attacks occurred in israel. the cherokee is a material suppose to, along with cuts are off from us. and significant research shows that turkey is one of the main financial hubs, which the service entity basically is, is able to, to fund a considerable amount of funds to the organization in gaza, but also other operations overseas outside of kaiser. so what part of lincoln's job is actually to request or insist turkish authorities to, to take measures against this impact just informally, can visit the state department released as a number of names. i'm us members residing in turkey and offered a bounty for, for, for, for that capture. the secretary has an uncomfortable task inputs, you know, it's asking turkey to essentially end or significantly scale down and support from us. because everythin

well, that's spring and seen as ody in washington dc. he's an adjunct professor at the george washington university. i've seen a good job you with a sense of how significant been all these are raining and strikes in northern iraq and sir, and what kind of message are the uranium sending and who they're sending it to i think they're quite significant. they're not that different from it ons, previous of the actions of this is a, this has been the largest this all strikes that he was conducted since the assassination of general. so the money in january 2020, i think just reading from the lines and the person who was assassinated in his or claiming that this, the business person of this cartridge business man was killed along with his family, was connected to most of them. now whether this is true or not, that that's a separate issue, but they also be finding that this is a response to the killing of, of some of you running for matters. in addition to the terrorist attacks the recent terrorist attacks in kidmore. so i believe you know, the me

we'll have to watch out for that benjamin others gruber in washington dc. thank you. i turned to the middle east now is real, has confirmed that its forces have been pumping sea water into moss tunnels. under garza is really army. it says it's ensuring that ground water supplies are not effected after experts. one that flooding the vast network can permanently damage the drinking water. for gauze is 2300000 residents. critics also said the tactic could also endanger the remaining hostages, held by him austin since the october 7th terror attacks. well, mike martin is a former british army officer and senior fellow in the department of worst studies at kings college london. he gave us more details about israel's flooding operation . it's a, it's, it's actually very simple. any fire department in any town will have the fire hydrants the pumps that are able to take the c. well, it's always the garza's on the coast. so there's normal, limited supply of water. you lay a pipe out to sea with boys. you get a pump and then you stick it into the nearest entrance, the tunnel. ma

the more on this i'm joined by, i guess in washington dc is donna l. could a non resident senior fellow at the arab center, washington dc. and new jersey is eli emani, a black lives matter activist. and cassandra of the black liberation, collective and in london is no gonna levy rappaport, a huge climate act of us involved in palestine solidarity campaigns in the u. k. a very warm welcome to all of you, miss l could. i'll begin with you in washington dc. just how much has israel's war on gaza? would you say revitalized support among the worlds youth for the palestinian cause? yes, thank you for having me. um. so in terms of israel's recent conduct sparking so much mobile as. busy and as your reporting showed, we have a great deal of evidence to suggest that the young people and the pro palestine solidarity movement generally is growing. so for example, the crowd counting consortia, which is a joint project at the university of connecticut and the non violent action by but harvard kennedy said school as showed that between october 7th and november of $2

oh, so you have a ton space in washington dc for us now she have wants to us reaction. been to this what precisely because of that proximity to us as soon as he is a this attack, there was a lot of speculation. disease came into a about the various details were coming in. we do not finally have this from the department of defense. we have seen the reports and we track from yourselves which are impacted in northern iraq and northern syria. no us personnel, e facilities were targeted. we have been in touch with senior rocky officials as well as officials and the cut us down region. iran is claiming this is in response to the terrorist attacks and come out around on the roster on with a focus on isis. we will continue to assess the situation, but initial indications, all of this was a reckless and precise set of strikes. the united states supports the sovereignty independence um, territorial integrity. so they're all come out from a us defense official. that final sentence, clearly quite an interesting avenue for the pens again to decide to go down given you know, the car

that's getting more from one correspondence, rosalind jordan, she's joining his law from washington dc. the jerry award and carol moving 8 times when she austin, her initial little search was reminded what happened in the case of what we have to be very specific about how the jury in this case of defamation that was brought by aging carol, the long time journalist and aunt, i got a columnist for elle magazine brought against the former president donald trump. she had wanted $24000000.00 for emotional damage and damage to her refutation. instead the jury awarded 183w7 about was for emotional law damage. the other 11300000 was for damage to her professional reputation. what the jury also awarded was $65000000.00 to punish donald trump at herb teams request in order to persuade him not to do this again to her or to anyone else. now of course, not surprisingly, the former us president who wasn't in the court room when the jury came back with its verdict on friday afternoon, said that he will appeal not just this verdict, but another verdict in a separate trial a year ago may in which that

the in washington, dc and $711.00 on a target. it is really strike is killed. 3 members of the group has by law. it comes a day after israel assassinated senior has bullock amanda. we some to will a 2nd these really strike on tuesday targeted his funeral, killing. another member of the group is in a hot every for some tire instead of 11 on lines. continue to be close in this conflict as well. targeted a car at a funeral of a senior has the law field commander killed a day before and an a parent is really drawn strike. there were casualties, but the crowd was defiant. hours earlier, a targeted is really straight to the core, killing 3 members of the lebanese arms group in a southern village. 10 kilometers from the battlefield along the border. and the few kilometers from a similar attack on west hamilton, when he was the highest ranking member of hezbollah killed. since the group opened the front to help relief pressure on its ally hum us in garza toria was killed a week after. how masses? number 2, solid, rudy was assassinated in

i forgot the valley here in downtown washington, dc added for you to a lot. the crowns continue to grow circles much of the growing crowd, but i estimate at least $10000.00 people that i thought would be so crowded. little bending down past the work was the main avenue, the main drag, and was indeed the, the speakers are the moment to are currently, family members and survivors. we've got the environment, the crowd are continuing to grow and we're hearing chance, the free god, the palestine. we're seeing, we have to be as, as a model of palestine flag and we're on it through outlets busy this mass allowed. we are all in the of south. and the idea is that the knowledge that was found, the guy has done taking a scan or the have the i c j and with the, when uh, being possible raven um, because we found out on to the onslaught and in georgia in thousands of locals, of also gathered in the capital for a mass protest and support of the policy and people local journalist ra half offer has the details of demonstrations going on, mine expressing anger of genuine cheap

and i'm not sure sleeping in the red sea in washington dc. some locals are waning on their governments action in the region. 74 percent of our federal logic goes to the military and the website is ation. and the reason countries such as the i'm in other countries in the us tax payers are paying for the whole thing, weighs as tax payers must not paying taxes to the federal government of the united states because they are armed. mass murder is united states, which makes the people of the united states mass murder is also you are a secretary of state. the engineer blinking has completed as late as the middle. the store we visited tricky, a jordan, the new a la rain and egypt to discuss the ex escalation between garza and israel. according to the top american diplomats, washington is doing everything you can to contain the situation. we were focused on making sure that the conflict on going on with guys. it doesn't spread to other places. so that's been our focus since since october 7th and it remains our focus today. that's makes it particularly

so i don't know for sure in washington dc that's bringing home to solitude and our who's to, you know, keep on the east re slim and honda. so the us and israel openly disagree of a palestinian stated and growing rest within the wall cabinet of what the, what is going. so that's exactly right. there's mounting pressure on these really prime minister on the international front, specifically pressure from the americans that has been mounting for months, but on the homefront from his own government, from his own society, from the families of the captives. if you look at polling numbers among is rallies and if elections were held today, these really prime minister would be somebody else. but within his own government you have the wrist within the coalition. specifically with the right wing camp, the ultra nationalist like method has smelt rich and he some are ben beer and even within his own war cabinet. and remember, these are individuals, these really prime minister hand pick to assist him in his efforts during war time, in an interview with his really media, one of those war cabinet mem

or actually harbor time to the in washington dc. thank you very much. and we're going to stick with the story. the united nations security council is debating that ongoing conflict in the red sea. where who the fight is, a targeting ships, they say are links to israel fronts, which holds the rotating presidency of the council, called the meeting. coming, bacon explains what these disruptions have been doing to the shipping industry. as the new year begins, commercial, maritime traffic on the suez canal is down by nearly a 3rd compared to a year ago. and 2 thirds of container ships cancel their suez bookings just last week, as who days continue their attacks on commercial vessels. major firms have stopped using the canal, so where are they going? many are sailing around the southern tip of africa. container ship traffic at the cape of good hope has nearly doubled, but vessels carrying oil liquefied natural gas, metals and grains are also diverting to the southern passage. and that's not only due to the conflict in the red sea traffic at the panama canal,
