It is a national and a 0 pm tragic. I am happy that we are part of European Union. We did, we did not have enough money to repair all the damage. We are aware of that fact. Europe is here, and we stand ready to assist with anything you may, weve suffered severe damage, the enormous financial loss of ruins. So we know once again will stand strong, will recover foss at the heart of the law. Sylvia and law also coming out, but last year the Us Supreme Court ruled that there is no federal right to an abortion. It was a major victory for a trump conservatives, but it might not last, voters in ohio just said no to restricting abortions further. Its really going to set the tone for the 2024 elections when we have a president ial election, as well as many other states wanting to address abortion rights. In the wake of the over turning over a v wade last summer, well do our viewers watching on tv as in the United States into all of you around the world. Welcome. We begin the day with proof of just how on where Climate Change can be. And its right here in europe in slovenia to night, the death toll stands at 6. Hundreds of people are homeless and entire towns remain under water. Last friday, the skies overs will be opened up, dropping more than a months worth of rain in 24 hours by the end of the weekend. So media is rivers. Its folded into levels and never seen drowning fields, farms, towns, and bridges. It was the worst flooding instability of history, which Scientists Say was fueled by Climate Change of this country. It only has 3000000 people and its nestled between italy and croatia. It doesnt produce even one percent of europes greenhouse gases, the gases which calls global warming. And like most countries around the globe, it does not have the resources to cope with a full blown climate catastrophe. But so many of does have the shoulders of the European Union to stand on. We have more now and this report the force of nature is on full display here in prebble you homes swallowed up by the river crossings, crushed by floods. Walter, develop a federal fire for certificates, catastrophic. Some special pipes had been torn from the bridge and thats where destroyed here. On a 20000 people have no access by running water. But whats the force of civilian solidarity is on show to volunteers are turning up here daily to help with repairs start this stuff got or this is what we do. Hope that you can get better if we can on for forward and people can slowly return to their normal lives, which are us on our driveway. Red cross stuff are also working overtime collecting. Im sending off donations to the worst take turns if any tools were put in some boots for work and a box of gloves, working laws and for cleaning, and lots of other supplies, at least by people who are not regions, right . Yes, this is from the generosity of people arrows and they keep showing up with a population of 2000000 were told almost everyone in for the know someone in need. We like to help each other, especially. I have a lot of friends, so im also very emotional about that. And unfortunately the European Union has a nice long term. So with our 2 funding for the flood ravaged nation and the materials support from member states. In the meantime, you have stands by your side. We were with you in the 1st days, immediately with the material that was needed. It is the mobile bridges, the excavators, the helicopters, and the Technical Team and the crews. And of course, we will stay as long as it is necessary, but hold times remain cutoff. And as the scale of the damage grows clear, the cost of reconstruction can only claim higher. For know, so video is still an emergency mode to enjoy now by of corresponding or is a bridge hard, she is in slovenia, denied, or reserved. We heard the from ursula fund a lie and you to help to. So the right now is priority number one, talk to me about exactly how the you is helping slipping, smell. First of all of underline came 1st with a message of thanks to those volunteers. Some of them who we saw on that report who she said have brought hope for there was only mountain brent. There was so much money. I was in peoples houses where there was dirt up to the ceiling in the off to the floor and i sold neighbors literally draining each others houses of buckets of much. But she also came, she said, burying hope. We thought 100000000 euros of sold already funding this year and a potential 300 a 1000000 further it next year. She also spoke about trying to use existing pillars within the European Union frontier. Its trying to get a bit more flexibility for slovenia. Don will entail some of your aquatic burden. It will mean so the, it has to apply and of course the government has plenty to get on with here. But she said she was really saying its coming to us with video tailing. So these are the you is by it sites in reading it and youre talking about the mud, we just want to live. Our viewers know last friday in slovenia, within 24 hours i was reading, they had at least a month if not more worth of rain fall on the country, the rivers digits. They could not handle it. I know you have been around the country today. Talk to me about the situation on the ground. What did you see beyond the but well beyond the mode, there is desperation, but theres also solidarity on the side of people who are really terribly impacted. I mean, there are times which are really they basically entirely cut off in order to reach some of the places that we visited. We had to have a military escort to go along very precarious roads on the site. If that were, dont a power lines collapsed bridges, and then when we go there of peoples houses basically destroyed. And we spoke to one carpenter, all of his tools and the furniture that he may be destroyed. And he said, he just simply doesnt know when he will work to get in the army. Hes being drafted in air dropping supplies in particularly fresh water and not as a real issue at the moment. Because as we saw in that report, there are thousands without access to running water. So thats a volunteers are helping with donations oregon recently meetings, citizens showing up, we fulfilled walter, try and get that into those. Those that are most, it needs know. While there is plenty of, theres really no shortage of people showing up to help putting on their boots guessing of getting art space and ready to dig and help neighbors or help people. They really dont know. The situation still have to say from what ive seen roommates pretty value on the grant. Yeah, the image is very, very disturbing. Rosie bridge hard reporting tonight for me with me on the, on the worst flooding in the history is for the 1st i think it will that unprecedented flooding into media. And it came as the rest of Southern Europe was being baked, unprecedented st. Weights in spain and portugal, the 3rd heat wave this summer and said the temperature is above 40 degrees celsius. As a 104 fahrenheit conditions are now ideal for wild flyers. We have more of this report. After 5 days this fire and southern portugal is finally under control. Its already torn through 10000 heck, tears of land. The blaze grew so large, it was visible from space as it sprint towards the popular algarve tourist region is 20 villages. And more than 1400 people threatened by the flames were forced to evacuate fluid. It was horrible. That was fine. Every when we had to fend for ourselves, nobody was said to help us. But lucky godfrey from those who came forward this to me just close the door across the border and spain firefighters are also dealing with a wildfire in the Western Region of extreme adora. Locals here are worried about the loss of ancient woodland and then what theyre doing, were worried and upset because we have an enormous mass of forest teen recall golds. And we feel very sad, for example, the offending area. You know, if im with helping people all across spain have been dealing with punishing conditions with 45 degrees celsius heat and quarter by and similar highs across waves of the country. Authorities are urging people to stay in doors to protect their health. Scientists state Climate Change is helping push temperatures to new extremes. With july and confirmed is the planets hottest month on record. Already grappling with record temperatures, increasing wildfires and historic water shortages. Unfortunately for portugal in spain, the future doesnt look much brighter. The whole Iberian Peninsula is sent to be one of the european regions hit hardest by Climate Change. While i spoke earlier with rachel cliff, shes with the climate and Energy Program at the union of concerned scientists. I asked her how much of these extreme weather events can we link directly to Climate Change to. So whats happening is as heat dropping emissions from burning fossil fuels primarily uh, are rising and accumulating in the spear. This is cleaning a long term trend of rising global average temperatures. So as you said over coming off to do hottest month on record of 2023 is lining off to be on track to be one of the hottest to yours on record. Its the trend thats alarming, but the way its manifesting this here has called signs is really completely alarmed and shocked. This is happening in a way thats unprecedented in europe, in the United States, in china, in india, in south america, everywhere in the world. And not just on land were seeing so really as phenomena go see substance temperatures as well. It is being seen as a win for abortion rights in the us. And also, is it possible preview of what could possibly decide next years president ial election on tuesday in the state of ohio, voters rejected a proposal to make it harder to change the states constitution. But the majority of voters apparently saw it as an attempt to make it impossible to protect abortion rights in ohio was not alone since last years overturning of roe vs wade. 6 states have held elections on reproductive rights in everyone. Voters have supported a womans right to an abortion. The issue of abortion brings voters to the ballot box. We just saw that a fact that both Political Parties in the us must consider ahead of next years president ial election are proud of ohio, proud of ohio is to believe in majority rule with one person, one. But its worth well for the state for a 111 years, people came out and said, a very strong message to the extreme is super majority of the legislature. That they believe in fairness, a believe in freedom. And they believe in the power to hold them accountable. This was a complex issue. And obviously there are a lot of folks who did not want this to happen, not just because theyve been november issues they the um, but for all of the other ones that are comedies. So lots of folks from around the country spend a lot of money to make sure this didnt have ever more. Now i want to bring in even betterment. Hes a us political commentator and a nationally syndicated talk show host the joints and you like from los angeles, ethan, its good to see you again. You know, i can not remember us president ial election. Were abortion was not, you know, an issue. But things seem different now. What does this ohio book that we saw yesterday . What does it tell us about the abortion issue . Moving towards the president ial election next year to thanks so much for having me on uh, branch. First off you, you said it was different now and that had to do with the United States supreme courts decision. Its called the jobs decision last june. That said that roe v wade and casey were no longer the law of the land. Meaning there is no right for a woman to control her own body. We get related to things like abortion, her own health care. And so this ohio vote yesterday was an end around attempting to stymie a constitutional amendment vote thats on the ballot in november in ohio to enshrine the right of women to be able to have an abortion up to the date of the viability of the fetus. And what this boat was yesterday was to change a constitutional name and vote from a 50 percent simple majority to a 60 percent super majority. And we know if we look across the United States since road the wave was overturned, the states that have held valid issues both on reproductive rights. Youve seen the voters vote in support of a womans right to an abortion. And when i see that, and i think conservative had been fighting for decades to, to get route versus wade overturn. They got that. And yet its beginning to look like a liability. Why is that . This is because the extreme is, the fanatics took over and there are advocating for the most extreme positions possible. Again, this is Womens Health care before the, the fetus is viable. These are often healthcare decisions. For women, there may not be in a position to care for the child. Their health might be at risk. And many of these republican propositions or laws that were passed involve absolute bands on abortion. Either at, initially in states like ohio or at 6 weeks like in states like florida where most women dont even know that they are yet pregnant to be able to make a decision about their own body, their own health, their own family. So the republicans are taking the most extreme position possible and he was president by and he is as always been in favor of roe v wade. And yet he does not seem to be benefiting in the polls or from the support that we see for reproductive rights. Why is there as well, thats a, thats a big complex issue. Uh, 1st off, you have a media eco system involved on the internet and in broadcast and cable and elsewhere. That is now a days and since roughly the latter half of 2015 dedicated solely to being in opposition and potentially not telling the truth about what a democrat might be advocating for. I mean, present bite and has done an outstanding job. The installation reduction act, the chips act, he did in past multiple bills to the benefit of veterans ease. Uh the economy is much stronger by every measurable number under present or by the President Biden. Then it was under president trump. But again, if you have 8 large percentage of the media eco system, not telling the truth about that day after day, hour after hour, that will affect peoples Decision Making ability. Maybe to me, its not just the media. Maybe its because we hear all the time that more more americans want a generational change in the white house and in congress in general. That brings me to my next question. And that is this debate on television thats going to happen in november and the governor of your state, california. Im Gavin Newsome has agreed. He asked rhonda sans as a governor of florida to debate say that as have said yes, now we want to make it clear. Nice is not running for president yet, but the sanchez is. But these are 2 men who would represent a younger generation. Their debate will it be must see t v in the you with or why i think it will be. And the reason why you have to say hes not running for president yet. About governor Gavin Newsome is, i predict that he absolutely will in 2028 and god forbid something happens to President Biden before. Then i think a governor newsome would jump in immediately. This is must the to do because exactly describe Gavin Newsome is the best debate or hes the best on television representing liberal and progressive values in the United States right now. And he is a strong, clear leader who would be at the front of the pac randa santas is probably the next generation. I mean, to keep in mind while people want to talk about President Bidens age for president , trump is 77. So he would have 2 people who are essentially geriatric, running for president in 2024. Kevin newsome and Rhonda Sanchez really are the future and i think its a very bright one for governor new. So on to its environment is always even, its good to get your take on things. Well see what happens. Come november this year and next year. Thank expressed opinion bowls have a former president , donald trump, with a big lead over all of the candidates hoping to secure the republican nomination for next years election before election day. Travel have a day or 2 or more in court. He faces a long list of charges including his alleged role in the january 6 capital riot. Now that trial is scheduled to begin in may of next year shouldnt be televised for. Busy the world to watch in real time. My next guest, a form of watergate prosecutor says, absolutely not. Theyll tell me why in just a moment. But 1st heres trump speaking at a rally yesterday. So this is all about election interference, but that isnt quite good enough. Tricky joe now wants the subs prosecutor to this the range guy to file a court order taking away my 1st amendment rights so that i can speak. So listen to this. We dont want you to speak about the case the case. The cases is a ridiculous case since the 1st of them because, but we dont want to drop this thing. All right, i want to pull in now. Nick adams. He is a legal expert and those are a former watergate prosecutor. He draws me from new york city, mr. I mean, its good to see you again. Im trucks, lawyers, they would like to see his this trial. All of his trials tell of lies. And its something that you had written about in a New York Times op ed piece today. And your 1st argument against doing this, you say, is the safety of the jury. Explain as well as the safety of the jurors and the safety of the witnesses. The problem is, once they jurors and the witnesses are identified and theyre on television and people testify off their risk. Or youve got people out there that are just crazy trunk supporters of that. Well go to all links on to try and avenge donald trump. Our we saw that happen in cincinnati, an f b i office after the f b i had executed the search war on mar logo. I think we saw it today. I think there was an incident today or where somebody would threaten the life of alan bragg, who was the prosecutor interstate case in new york. The prosecution against trump here on and against joe biden. And there was a shoot out and this individual died. So these are people who will go to extremes. And the problem is once you put those pictures on, on the screen and on television for the entire world to see, or whether youre a juror or a witness, youre, youre a danger. Uh and if the idea here is transparency, um its not very transparent. If you have to hide the faces of the jury and have to hide the faces of the witnesses. When total transparency really allows you to, to get to take on the witnesses demeanor and how, or how incredible they are and what they say. And so, to me, this is a huge downside to putting this on television and judges federal court judges. They are, theyre supposed to be the boss of the court room if they have the authority and the responsibility to maintain order during a trial. Would that be possible with cameras in the court room and maybe more importantly with donald trump, sitting on the witness stand . Well, its not just donald trump, sitting on the witness stand, is donald trump sitting at the defense tape . I mean, the problem is he may not have been a good president. Fact, i think he was a terrible person. But the one thing that this individual excel is that is reality tv. And he would do everything he could coming up just to the line of contempt, where the judge might come down on him to through facial gestures, through outburst, through all kinds of statements that would basically turn his case into a circus. I mean, he would take advantage of the television and use it any way he could. And i think most of the judges are reluctant to phone him in jail. Any normal defendant tried to do these sorts of things, would wind up in jail and important handcuffs. But i think most of these judges are reluctant with a former president to do that to children such time as a jury of his peers, finds him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The crimes that are charge. So theres really, thats the 2nd reason why having cameras in the courtroom is a bad idea because it plays to Donald Trumps instincts is a reality tv star. But let me pick on that mr. Hagaman, the man who started court tv back in 1991 and for our viewers werent familiar with that. That was the 1st channel in the us that was dedicated solely to reporting on an airing trials. Hes in favor of television, the trump trial, and he argues that americans will believe the verdict only if they can see it. When it happens, what do you say to them . I dont think thats true at all because youre going to still have the partisan divide on the trunk. Part of things are going to say, oh, the whole thing was ranked. It was ranked against them from the beginning. Theyre going to take snippets of evidence, or they come out and use that to support their position. On the other side is going to take snippets out. I mean, its just not going to satisfy the public would satisfy the public as well. So theres a jury trial, and there is a verdict that will satisfy the public what they really need if you want full transparency here is the media has to up its game and how it reports these trials. The problem is the American Media reports Football Games in more detail and more analysis and expertise than they report for middle trials. Yeah. And so what they really need to do is have people in the court room for experts in criminal trials have tried a number of cases, no trial practice, and be able to call the shots as they see them. I so that the public gets a real good understanding, an expert practical, practical review of what happened is each day in the court. I mean, for example, in the gene carol case. Yeah, i mean, that was the case. By the way, the judge did, you know, didnt allow the names of the jurors to be shared with the public or with either either party, either fear for their safety. But also it was a case where jean carol, that the main issue there was her credibility. Now she checked the witness thing one day, and then trumps lawyer spent a day and a half cross examined here, which was absolutely the worst is not going to have done. No. Is there a bridge i had . It interrupted, but were almost out of time. But i want to thank you for talking with us and please we need to talk again as we get closer to this trial date, because theres a lot more still to discuss. Thank you for joining us tonight. Thank you. As the day is almost done, the conversation that continues online and remember what ever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day.
