construction of us really supplements in near the woman and past midnight here in moscow. welcome to the r t international news. run up my names. you to know me the us. hi. so representatives has approved spending an excess of $60000000000.00 more dollars to keep the ukraine conflict going know simply however, most republican congress members voted against the bill, which had been deadlocked on capitol hill and its previous inspiration for months. russia's foreign ministry spokesman slammed the motion, saying it was only a few of more on necessary violence that in the us allocation of motor a to a crane is rolling, tie one will aggravate global crisis mailed to 8. so the key of regime is the direct sponsorship of terrorist activities. males for

a to tie one is the name to syrians in china's into and the list says, those are a to israel is a direct path to an unprecedented escalation in the region. 61 b. ready in dollars now all amendments and there were some rather creative amendments that were proposed. all the amendments to the bill were rejected and the bill passed now it's been passed with the intent to rebuild arsenals and it is coming in the form of a loan. ukraine is expected to repay the money that is provided to them under terms negotiated by the president of united states. now, the way the bill was ultimately passed, there was $95000000000.00 in total. that was given for 4 and 8 is they separated. the ukraine aid, the taiwan aid and the aid israel. $8100000000.00 was passed and aid to the government on taiwan $26400000000.00 was passed and aid for israel and the ukraine funding of $61000000000.00 was passed. now. mike johnson,
5:03 pm
who became the republican speaker of the house of representatives, had pledged, unlike his predecessor that he would not bring this vote this, this bill up. you would not bring it to about. but he changed his mind. and i guess on the terms that this was alone, he was okay to go along with it. now that certainly angered a caucus or faction of mago republicans who are very opposed to this bill and did indeed vote against it. as we saw in the building that just happened, there was also a significant caucus or faction of democrats who voted against the aid to israel, citing the ongoing bombardment of gaza. but both the decision left and the discipline right were voted down and the aid package, 95000000000 and total 3 different countries was passed by the house of representatives and the figures. how the tails don't take a look because while not one democrats voted against the build, the majority of republican congress members did. that's quite
5:04 pm
a divide to. when it came to grain, there was a lot of outrage from, from republican members of congress. they felt that this was not in the united states interest now. leading the charge was marjorie taylor green, the representative of georgia. and she was seconded by many members of her party. rather intense speeches were given prior to the vote. and here's what we heard any were implants, i won't say the united states tax payer has already sent $113000000000.00 to ukraine. and a lot of that money is unaccounted for. you claim is not a member of nato, but the most important thing due here in washington dc, is we have to spend americans harder and tax dollars over to ukraine and keep the money going to continue to murder ukrainians. wipe out an entire generation of ukrainian men, 2 and a half years into this war. we still don't know what success looks like. is it
5:05 pm
crimea? is it all of the don't boss is a hold what you got. we don't know. we just can't afford it. this new spending $60000000000.00 is designated as emergency spending. mean it go, meaning it goes straight to our national debt. a national debt that grows every single 2nd to the tune of $8000000000.00 every single day. and by the way, while i was speaking, we have added another $5500000.00 to the national debt. now that was the republicans who opposed to the spending on ukraine. now, the democrats lined up very solidly with every democrat voting in favor of the standing on ukraine. however, some democrats did oppose giving aid to israel. and this is what we heard from those democrats who voted against aid to israel. all of us have seen the tragedy of gaza and we have seen how prime minister netanyahu,
5:06 pm
whose government has use american weapons to kill indiscriminately, to force famine over 25000 women and children dead. tens of thousands of them, of missiles and bombs levied on innocent civilians. and when we see it, we have to decide what we're going to do about it. are we going to participate in that carnage or not? i choose not to prime minister netanyahu has been reckless as his actions have not led to the release of the remaining hostages. he's ignored the police of the families of hostages. he's ignore the police or the president of the united states . he's ignored his own people. now who doesn't support the united states position of a 2 state solution for peace? he doesn't respect urges now to invade rafa. he disputes with the us in a groups upset about fam and taking over in gaza and he launched attack and i ran
5:07 pm
after the white house told him not to if he's not listening to us on matters of international security, how can he be trusted with more offensive weapons enough is enough. now the previous speaker of the house kevin mccarthy was ousted when he made what man described as a secret or back room deal to try and go forward with funding for ukraine. and now thomas massey and marjorie taylor green to outspoken republicans who opposed a due crane say they want the same thing to happen to mike johnson. they, they say he was replaced that he replaced kevin mccarthy and was brought into office to oppose this kind of deal. he made this kind of deal and they want him, alistair, so we shall see what happens next. so i'm concerned that the speakers kind of deal with the democrats of fun for mores rather than to secure a border. how did a bill that was intended for veterans that came out of the house become
5:08 pm
a bill that may bring us to the brink of war, at least 3 places on the globe by sending a 100000000000 dollars to military contractors. ukrainian president has already responded in kind out a message from zelinski that went up online. but let's also recall a statement made by the ukranian president a few days prior. here's what he said this as. so what i but as we suggest that this is not a secure leticia, then this is pure politics and to be honest, it is a shameful. the world is just a shameful democracy for everyone on the talks about democracy. well, if congress takes and divides the sites of toilet has happens entries rather than do credit and parts. that's nice. this is an election issue in the united states. i looked at it now 23200000000 of the a will be used to restock ukrainian weaponry. 11.3000000000 of the aid will be provided for the training of ukrainian troops by the united states. and
5:09 pm
$61000000000.00 in total has been allocated by the us congress to provide to ukraine to continue the conflict at this point. uh, there's a lot of anger on the republican side. there's a lot of anger on the democratic side that took so long and it appears american politics is much more polarized than it has been in quite some time. very big disagreements about u. s. foreign policy and how american taxpayer money ought to be spent. well, we got reaction to the vote in congress from political list on the filmmaker shown stone. he says it's eyeopening to see so much us taxpayers money going to ukraine, which recently of course, refused to hold a democratic election. and there's the notion, there's the argument that can be made that because you create isn't the time of, of crisis that they don't need to hold elections. um, you know,
5:10 pm
that they have just, they're basically, they're trying to, there's a narrative that ukraine is fighting for its survival. and so in these times there's no, they don't have the, the, the ability to really held a fair election because of this crisis. that's the mainstream argument of the us perspective. i can't imagine that democracy is really concerned about it for, for why the aid needs to happen and why we have to support the, you know, the ukrainian side, let's say of the war. a believe that the interest of course in the us is, is multi folds the same way. the us had been interested in new grain for decades. going back to the break up of the soviet union in the united states. interest of, basically all of the former soviet states is trying to, you know, basically let's say bring the more into the dollars own or at least into the euro zone economically. so trying to basically create more economic spheres of influence
5:11 pm
. countries like ukraine, obviously have a they have they, they don't necessarily have much industry, a lot of the industry has been stripped, but they certainly have, you know, have resources, they have their bread basket, they have oil and gas. these are major factors, right? why the us wants to uh, to have into that sphere. let's say it's fear of influence. so, um, i would suggest that it has much more to do with the real apology. then it does with the eye deals like a democracy versus what's out there. it isn't the show on stone there. okay. more use this weekend of israel to yourself for an expected invasion of the southern most gals and city of it off of the area is coming under on the increasing number of her strikes. one of the latest attacks in the residential building claiming the lives of at least 9, including 6 children, that's according to the gallon and civil defense agency, or the
5:12 pm
we're seeing here. we've relatives more than the loss of multiple with scores of bodies taken to a local more for identification. civilians are also sifting through the ruins of buildings destroyed by v i. d. s. at least to our strikes have reportedly hit rough as since friday. around one and a half 1000000 post indians are reportedly sheltering in the city, which had previously been declared a safe zone by the is really military. people on the ground said there's nowhere left for them to hide the neighborhood to the house and building about them. but it's in the symmetry was not sped from. the building is rough off, which they say is safe. a police place to have to have know what's going on. so striking them with to roll kids why, why worked in these children do? what did they do is that was sent in here when their ups one is a little the want. all these, these done is targets. they were sleep safe and sound, all of the killed,
5:13 pm
the women and children. these are state crimes. there is no country in the world that is committed such crimes. nothing like what's happening here. this never happened in history. but across in the west bank at least 2 palestinians have been killed in clusters with it's really forces, according to the local health ministry. the, the run to doesn't palestinians were also reportedly injured and several homes destroyed during the rate which is really forces launched on friday, close to the city of to caught and calling it a counter terrorism operation. the idea of se several militants were eliminated. while 9 is really soldiers were wounded, according to the palestinian prisoners society, 13 people were detained by v as release over the past 2 days. half of them were seized from a local refuge account where clashes are ongoing. palestinian officials have called it an unprecedented us. so the what do you mean?
5:14 pm
i think this is the 3rd day as being cushion and the notions come from the city of to car i'm in general. the scale of it may be equivalent to or slightly more than the 2002 inc cushion. it seems that the israelis really wants to sign into the palestinian resistance in the west bank, specifically in the camps and northern west bank. well, the, it is a very difficult situation. siege on the new ships. camp is still ongoing. often more than 40 to august, there are large numbers of the people line on the streets and many wounded, but ambulances have not been able to reach until this moment. i come to what people have told us, there is complete destruction of homes shops, electricity greet the huge they want to network and the infrastructure. the reason cousin is unprecedented. even 2002 and compared to previous incursions, the russ, not this, on the rooftops, death squads, especially the forces deployed. it's a real war. no one knows what is happening in the camp until this moment. israel a sped off the construction of settlements in east jerusalem after the war broke

5:16 pm

5:17 pm
government doesn't one piece or the 20 boasting and state these really government only wants a jewish state with well, how to send me a as well, according to that pro, by the guardian settlement building across east drew some housing celebrated with the it's really government's funding behind all the largest projects. more than 20 such construction efforts involving thousands of houses are in the pipeline, even as close as i like the u. s. saves the continue and expansion. all of these really supplements is quote, inconsistent with international law. but israel disputes that earlier this week, the jurors, the magistrates court, ordered the eviction of free palestinian families from their homes. according to the ruling they're expected to vacate the premises before july. the reports say the building includes 3 apartments, that a total of 20 people live in solid eob again whose family received an eviction notice. says he pounds to a piece of the sea. despite all the pressure in jerusalem, i see,
5:18 pm
i don't know how's demolition. some of the tops of our homes and the confiscation mole lands before the taxes, from all aspects, all were main stuff. their case didn't start recently when they started 50 years ago, and it's really rad, be clean. you bought this land in the year. 80 and 76 isaac, so they don't need an excuse to kill palestinians and they don't need an excuse to expel posting ants from their homes. how much of the citizens were ready. so they went under the table and today they brought them all the noise, our own garza, and today they explore their opportunity to do whatever they want has and separate us from our land open. and there can be nose, will appeal to the central port of them is the piece of work cannot interfere after the supreme court decision. and god willing, we will confirm rolling to freeze the decision until the ownership of the line is proven how cool minute they are. a government of texas tremendous level. maybe there's nothing on them do it or unlikely for this government. as i got used to the
5:19 pm
little texting them to say and do something in the back. i mean, but things are changing in the world to them as the magic is strongly against them . additionally, or so, all the claims that got their complete lives. they used to say are now expose and that the table in the sites are proving that we are proud of my head. we have been under oppression for a 100 years, and one on the saddle of terror is beautiful silence and foolishness of this page. and so i say the future is hours if he's good, while patients can be beautiful, we've been hearing this times. we should not be available when a little know, staying in the region to rally, use huff converged into a must protest. intel of the 1st though, since of his release, once again called on the prime minister to resign. the people are furious about being human. this in the who has failing to secure the return of all hostages from cancer. those around want this self election in the hope it will usher in the new government. police were quick to bar to kate street
5:20 pm
surrounding the rather it's the latest in a series of demonstrations against mr. nesting, you know, some of which i've seen protesters on the authorities. well, israel's foreign ministry, meanwhile, has made some pretty on diplomatic comments about the turkish president who has hosted the leader from us in this bundle for the must and brothers who deadlines raped no to this equation, bodies, and bone infants, shame on you as a gun. the statement provided by is really foreign minister. israel cods was nothing more than borderline offensive. in fact, it was almost insulting. not just to how much later is smile funny about to jerk is president red chip type or the one as well. take into consideration that the 2 leaders met in turkey to discuss a number of important matters such as the is really a tax on gaza. the facilitation of humanitarian agents a gaza. of course,
5:21 pm
a 2 state solution, but more importantly a ceasefire and an end to hostility in order to prevent a broader conflict within the region. in the meeting, of course, turkish president are the ones under light, a number of important steps that must be taken in order for that to happen. the president add the gun, stated the israel will definitely pay the price for the persecution of the palestinians. one day talk, you will continue to tell about domestic goes against garza, on old grounds. all efforts are being made to establish an independent palestinian state, which is the key to regional piece and to bring lost in peace to the region. the target president, of course, has been highlighting a number of important matters, but what isn't visible at 1st within the statement provided by the turkish president, is that among cut us approach to this entire conflict. when we take into consideration other regional conflicts, whether we're talking about iraq or serial libya, azerbaijan and the list as goes, don't go on one of the fundamental things that i'm going to has done. it has addressed the states, the parties that have been
5:22 pm
a part of this conflicts or any other conflict for that matter and refer to them just directly talking to them, calling them to the, to the table. ensuring that negotiation, the processes had been a facilitator for the most part and, and, and deal that it was all. but what we're looking at right now is a different approach from on cut off. we understand the israel has a great deal of support, particularly support from the united states and in the own words of government officials from the white house. they say that they have always will and will continue to support israel regardless of the war crimes that israel is currently being a legend of. but uncle has also stressed that it's important for islamic countries to work together to ensure that the region does not fall into a spiral of conflict that it can't get itself out of. and why this is important is of course it's taking into consideration that they're doing is not just calling on others on the countries to band together, but to come together and support each other. and the general fundamental belief within the sonic phase. and that is not the countries,
5:23 pm
is that the more numbers who have the stronger to become, and that's essentially what are the one, has been leaning towards. what isn't visible just yet is of course, as well as approach. the issue statement that has been issued from the is rarely for administer, is nothing, some floods, provocative, not constructive. and it's in any means necessary. and if anyone can help for any kind of constructive and robust roadmap to move forward, telling me you may or may not need to be taking these issue these statements a little bit more seriously. otherwise, we'll just play aware of words and the region will risk abroad or conflict, and that will definitely not be in anyone's favor. the chinese leader, she didn't thing has an on to the major military reform, creating a new army information support force which will be responsible for so called hybrid war for the nice but it was made at a ceremony in beijing. on friday, the president stated,
5:24 pm
the china must prioritize the development of its armed forces, trojans with j, she's the creation of the information. support force is a significant decision made by they c p. c. central committee and the central military commissions as part of the broader effort to strengthen the military of this initiative, signifies a strategic advancement towards establishing a new service framework and enhancing the modern armed forces system tailored to chinese attributes. it plays a crucial role in expediting the modernization of national defense and the military effectively enabling people's liberation army to fulfill its duties in this new era search ship item of asia, 1st commentator nor tongue getting believes the chinese military reform is a direct response to recent us brinkman ship in the pacific region. this is a support function that's there and it really is responding to this kind of higher
5:25 pm
hybrid warfare concern. there's a lot of changing tech in warfare we seem to get in or how information needs to be coordinated and used in any kind of situation and how conflicts are now being way in a web. an iced, especially from west, if you talk to people in washington and brussels, you know, that they're absolutely convinced that they're right. that they're the last defenders of, you know, the free world and human rights and all this type of stuff. but you know, the divisions within the vast majority of the countries and i don't mean small divisions, you know, political deadlock inability to find leaders who can be effective and moving, move the ball forward. inability to address serious issues like in the u. s. with the debt issue, which, you know, 34 trillion and growing and no one has any idea how they're going to solve it. other than sending yell into china and saying, hey, if you don't buy our bonds,
5:26 pm
the whole world is going to collapse. so, you know, it's kind of a will take you down with us approach in those kind of circumstances. every country has, is, you know, it has to be defensive. the problem is that, you know, the us is trying to play the game that they played with the ussr trying to get countries to put more into the military and disregard their economic rise. and i think it'd be that far more important for countries like russia and china in particular to pull the roy resources to move together and try to you know, economically succeed in the end. this is what really matters because you can pay for guns unless you have an economy that works. ok, switching gears next genetic engineering. how is being run thing off in fields? house, the verse of medicine and good culture. but is manipulation of nature as risk free assets of proponents, claim ortiz, the width of lower sho,
5:27 pm
investigates in moment the, [000:00:00;00] the,
5:28 pm
the, what is part of the, the employee would posted isn't the defense you of us and bidding the word? or is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without cases. let's go out of as the, when i was a little boy growing up in the us state of pennsylvania, we had thousands and thousands of chestnut trees in the area. we used to throw the chestnuts at each other for fun, and our parents would gather them and roast them as a snack. but then disease struck the american chestnut populations. i haven't seen a chestnut tree in decades. they're almost all gone. scientists now say that
5:29 pm
they've come up with a plan to revive the american chests, not through genetic engineering to something that might sound like a great idea. but is it? it's never been done before, and we have literally no idea what it will do to other trees as its pollen is spread by the winds. bees and other insects are we saving the american chestnut for our we do mean other species. i'm john kerry onto welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 scientists have been working for years to revive the american chestnut, a large tree that once covered the eastern part of the country and provided food for humans and animals. the like. the tree usually lived for hundreds of years and made up an important part of the eastern american tree canopy. but beginning in the early 20th century, the tree was affected by something called chestnut blight. a fungal disease that
5:30 pm
came from the base of japanese chestnut, beginning in 19 o 4 and spanning the entirety of the 20th century. it is estimated that the blake killed between 4 and 6000000000 american chestnut trees. now only stumps and roots . systems remain. they produce young saplings which are almost immediately infected with chestnut light and then they die. there are now only between 60800 american chestnut trees that survive. and they're all in the northern part of the state of michigan. it's several groups of scientists are working to revive the american, just not including a group at the state university of new york college of environmental science and forestry. those scientists had the idea to insert the oxalate oxidation gene from weight into the dna of the american chest, not to degrade the oxalic acid produced by chestnut light. in 2021. these scientists asked the government permission to introduce the newly genetically
