also, when obamacare on the horizon, who might receive benefits and who might be hurt most financially. as more and more being atheist, how does that stem the tide? >> as al jazeera courtney keely reports, the problems could be catastrophic. >> hundreds of climate changes caifltactivists protest in stoc. >> we show that we are very frustrated and upset about how our politician he are not acting the way the science says. the u.n.'s intragovernmental panel on climate change predicts worldwide temperatures could rise between 2.8 to 8.5° by the end of the century. showing a slow down on global warming. the panel stress that the global warming is indisputable. they are now as certain that global warming is man made as they are that smoking kills. the nobel award winning panel, the report should be a wake up call. >> multiple lines of evidence means greenhouse gases is indeed warming the earth's atmosphere the earth's surface, oceans, melting ice caps, glaciers. >> reducing global pollution. u.s. secretary of state john kerry stressed that world leaders must ban together on the issue. >> climate change is one issue that absolutely impacts billions of people around the world. >> u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon, smith of world leaders. >> we must build resilience and seize the opportunities of a low carbon future. >> report will be released in full monday. courtney keely, al jazeera new york. >> , goal modernizing, for the twurnlt century describes itself as a grass roots organization dead exaited to spreading the truth about climate change. brad, i wanted to start with you. quote, climate change is the greaterrest challenge of our time. it threatens our climate our only home -- is there still room for skepticism on whether we are seeing climate change happening and the degree of threat that it poses especially to us in the u.s? >> in a word, no. this report is really the latest -- this is the fifth report that iccs has released since 1990, and each one has confirmed and in fact increased the confidence that human activity primarily the burning of fossil fuels is increasing the greenhouse effect and warming the planet and altering our climate system in risky and potentially catastrophic ways. and unfortunately what we have seen in the last three decades is really the running of this experiment on our only planet. and scientists are observing the changes that were projected to happen. and are reporting on that. >> michael, this is fifth report that the ipcc has released since it first came out with one in 1990 and the latest one asserts that there is a 90% certainty that human past three decades have been the hottest since 1850. even so, climate skeptics are going to point out that the report confirms that global warming has actually slowed down over the past 15 years and the climate scientists who wrote the report say that they don't really understand why that has happened. does that suggest climate skeptics still have a leg to stand on? >> well, i don't think this report is going to change the minds of almost anybody. i don't think it's going to change the minds of skeptics who have been really skeptical for reasons that often don't have a lot to do with science. they have a lot to do with not wanting the various solutions that have been proposed starting with the international treaty, a giant new regulatory system, moving towards the consumption of more energy or more expensive energy, you saw it in the opening segment, the climate science and got mixed up with the need for an international treaty. i think it's important -- i think part of the problem is that the climate science has gotten conflated with a sense of that liberals and environmentalists including myself wanted before global warming. >> carbon dioxide is one of the most important, atmosphere can take half a extremely tons more without raising the earth's temperature more than 3.6° and that is over the international accepted target for global warming. given the way we're seeing energy consumption grow especially as we see the issue asian economies grow, the report estimates we could get to that maximum level as soon as 2040. with that in mind, they want humidity t -- humanity put on a carbon budget. what do you see as the best way to do that? >> i think the best way is going through -- it's a challenge of international governance. and people who are smarter than i am and have worked on this have come together as governments, and international organizations, you know, with -- under the auspices of organizations like the united nations, to try to devise a path forward. and i think that's -- i mean, it would be -- it would be great you know, i mean, there are -- there aren't global dictators, as some people unfortunately on the right fear. and there aren'ta aren't altrui, finding a solution that way is what we should be continuing to find. >> doesn't seem like there are solutions. michael you have clear opinions on what needs to be done. >> look for 20 years they are trying to get an international treaty. that process basically collapsed in copenhagen in 1989. couldn't come to an agreement. the other attempt at international treaty is definition of insanity. i think context is warranted. over the last five years, we have been moving heavily from coal to gas. that's a positive transition. we just did an analysis that found that 36 times more carbon emissions were avoided since 1950 in the united states, through natural gas and nuclear, than through solar and wind and geothermal combined. yet this is kind of the funny part of it all. is that natural gas and nuclear are the two energy technologies least popular among the people that are most concerned about climate change. and the people that are the least concerned about climate change, the climate skeptics are the ones that actually tend to favor natural gas an nuclear. so i think we -- >> brad your reaction to that? >> i've read the break throughs report and it's a nice analysis of 20th century energy policy. but the important thing is, i don't really understand what michael's claimed that the people more concerned about climate change reject natural gas and nuclear. obama's secretary of energy erinist moniz is one of the strongest advocates of natural gas in the nation and one of the climate scientists that are most concerned about climate change. >> you know brad there has been opposition among environmentalists to nuclear power and to natural gas because there's a lot of opposition to fracking, although it has brought down carbon emissions, punched into the earth in order to bring the gas out, so are you saying that you're in favor of nuclear power and more natural gas? >> unfortunately, what you said there is not -- we don't actually know that's correct. we've only see measurements of cacarbon dioxide, and measurement -- we don't have coherent figures or measurement of what u.s. methane emissions are. there is a big difference between talking about the united states carbon dioxide emissions and the overall greenhouse gas footprint. the thing to recognize is that the united states is increasingly an exporter of fossil fuels. from a global perspective if the united states is increasing its production and extraction of fossil fuels while decreasing domestic consumption, it's certainly better than having an increase in domestic consumption. but it doesn't solve the essential problem of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. so we -- we don't have the -- a regulatory infrastructure that would -- and we need and i'm sure that michael would agree with me, that we need better measurement and rules, for natural gas before -- i'm sure he gree grace -- agrees -- no oe are for unregulated natural gas gas production. >> one on one, the first thing you have to keep in mind is every environmental group in the united states and basically every ma environmental group globally, keeping natural gas out of new york, despite the fact that natural gas has been the key driver making coal go from 50% to 38% of our electricity over the last five years. gas has increased from 20 to 30%. now over the last 20 years gas production in the united states has increased about 40%, and over that same period of time, according to the epa, fugitive methane has declined 10%. that's the epa's numbers. another major study came out that woe sponsored by -- that was co-sponsored by the environmental dweefns fund the natural gas industry and the university of texas that came to similar results. so going -- >> but even though u.s. emissions are down because of natural gas there are issues with fracking. nuclear power of course being touted, we hope to have more nuclear power online in the united states with plants in the next decade or so but there are dangers in nuclear power.why not focus on wind and hydroelectric and solar? >> we should focus on all of them. this is the key thing to understand, though. is the environmental movement which has been advocating a global treaty often climate change and domestic regulations has opposed natural gas and nuclear and insisted that it all has to be from efficiency similasolarand wind. against the largest source of natural power, which is hydr hydroelectric. if you want to put all your eggs in that bask, fine. but don't turn around and say that global warming is a catastrophic threat that, you cannot 68 that global warming represents a catastrophic threat and oppose the two energy technologies had a has 36 times greater impact on reducing carbon emissions. and our piece that we wrote for the break through was that simply if you talk to climate skeptics, you will discover that most of them are pro-natural gas and pro-nuclear. why not have that conversation instead of continuing 20 years of really futile climate warming and science that divide us. so you're right. >> brad. >> it's the idea that the environmentalists and actions on climate change are to blame for climate skepticism and the promotion of climate denial is an interesting claim. but putting that aside, i think the essential thing to understand is that natural gas is a fossil fuel. and that reality isn't going to go away. and the -- as the ipcc report showed we need to be moving not to just a low carbon economy but globally figuring out ways to a postcarbon economy. and within our lifetimes and within the next few decades natural gas won't have a role to play. and i think that's the real challenge that advocates of natural gas and there are many, it's a very profitable -- like other extractive industries, it's very profitable. so there's good business in promoting and lobbying for natural gas, and also for nuclear. but over the long run, it's not a bridge to the future. >> all right, brad and michael, thanks for joining us tonight. let's hope both sides in this issue get together and come to some agreements. because even the skeptics agree that we need to lower emissions and lower pollution. thank you for joining us tonight. and consider this, tuesday people will begin to start signing up for obamacare. what do you think of this? post your answer he on google plus, facebook and twitter. desenting views and always explore issues relevant to you. >> when bowxg enrollment kicks off on october 1st, what will it mean to you? how much will it cost, what does it mean to single people, married with families, seniors and the young. joining me now to discuss the plan are wendell potter, senior analyst at the center for public integrity, in our philadelphia studio, and here in our studio we are joined by ovic roy the author of the apothecary blog. 170.9 million according to the most recent numbers, are already covered by their employers. the kaiser foundation says in the last year their premiums went up by 4% which is probably significantly lower than it had historically. what does october 1st and the next year mean for them? >> well, it's going to mean that they're rates are likely to go up at a higher rate for this particular year, because 2014 is the year the affordable care act kick in, driving up health insurance even for those who have coverage now. >> are there other fees and taxes? >> there are, particular fees, there is a sales tax or excise tax, for people that have private coverage, that kicks in in 2014, the federal regulations the insurers have to cover a certain specifically benefits, that drive up the cost of insurance for those who don't already have benefits. >> wendell, those largest group of americans those who are covered by their employer's health plans will they suffer any way? there are reports that at least 7 million will lose employer coverage because employers will drop coverage because of obamacare by 2023, we've seen that by trader joe's walgreen's, home depot, giving employees not more than 30 weeks so they don't have to cover them. will those groups suffer? >> yomtion. i -- i don't think so. that's the businessest worry that a lot of working americans have, for good reason. when you lose your job in this country because of our employer-based system you're going to more than likely wind up in the ranks of the uninsured, that's why we have 50 million americans almost without coverage and obamacare will change that a great deal. you also know that this is a trend that has been going on precedes the affordable care act by many years. as recently as 2000 about 70% of americans got their coverage through their workplace and that's now down to about 60, less than 60%. so this is not something that's new. we're just paying more attention to it. >> yeah and security of course would be an important element for everybody. ovick, are union members, multiemployer plans, there has been a lot of news about unions raising issues about the fact that many other workers are not going to get subsidies that other workers are going to get. what will happen to the union member? >> change in what the union member has, union sponsored administered plan, they will get them through exchanges. that may be a better deal for their workers and may be a better deal for the companies. the labor union loses its status as a middle man and that may not be good for the maybe union. it depends on what subsidies they qualify for in the exchanges and what their income is. >> wendell do you agree? >> i do agree. most people will be able to if they get coverage from the exchanges many of them will be able to get subsidies or tax credits to help them for care help them with their premiums. >> let's go seniors who have medicare, the second largest group if we divide up americans and what they're facing in the obamacare world. a recent report found that iks is.6 db dwrksz that 6.6 million, is that going well? a lot of the talk when it came to medicare was that a lot of the cuts that were going to be in place were because -- that the plan was going to work because they were going to cut out a lot of waste. but a lot of more well to do americans are already paying higher medicare premiums. what will happen? will all of us end up paying more if obamacare doesn't control costs? >> is this to me or -- >> wendell, yes. >> i think for people who are enrolled in medicare plans, you're right. they're already seeing a lot of savings. my mother among them was one of those who was always falling into the doughnut hole, the dreaded doughnut hole. so she is now s more help being able to afford her prescription medication than she had in years past and she and other beneficiaries are able to get coverage for preventive care. one of the things that have been confusing is the insurance companies that offer medicare replacement plans, compete with traditional medicare will see their payments from the federal government decrease. over many years they have been receiving essentially a bonus to participate in a program. that's being phased out. those are where cuts are coming from, from payments to private insurance companies that are offering medicare advantage plans. >> is there anything the insurance companies need do now? >> they need to do right now, as they are looking for open enrollment comes around again, or chussing their prescription plans, if they're covered by a medicare advantage plan, take a look at the traditional medicare. because it might be a more attractive option to go back to traditional medicare. >> ovick, people who are right now buying their own insurance under the current plans, about 15 million americans that are doing that, what will this mean for them and what do they need to do? >> the thing you have to understand, the people who shop for themselves it is not just the 15 million who buy insurance, it is the 50 million who don't buy insurance because it's too expensive for them. it's the 65 million who are affected by individual changes in insurance. >> let's talk about the 65 million. your article, the article you just wrote says opposed to what the government said earlier this week where they said rates were going to be lower than expected you find their rates will go up dramatically. >> we don't disagree with numbers, it's just different numbers. they are saying lower than expect, the average american what matters is how much does it cost me to buy insurance today in 2013 and how much will it cost me to buy showrns in 2014 under obamacare? for the average fern who is a male it will be up by 99%, presubsidies and for women it will be up about 60%, 62%. >> wendell do you have any argument about that? >> i tell you that, the actual market is 15 million not quite that, because of the practices of the industry that will be changed dramatically and much of it outlawed. a lot of americans who don't have coverage not only because it's too expensive but in many cases they can't buy at any cost. they have been refused coverage, have been declared uninsurable. that is why we have so many people wh who do not have insurance. >> i actually disagree, there are very, very small portion who are denied coverage. between 1 and 5%. the vast majority can't afford insurance, it's too expensive. >> i don't disagree with that. it is been the practice of smurns companies including the ones i work for, to blackball you if you have preexisting conditions. and yes many people can't get it add any price or can't buy it because the premiums have been so high. those two reasons are why the individual market is so small. >> we have a social media question. one of our viewers, grant gamble, why would a system be secluded from an exchange? again you worked at an insurance company, we're seeing this. this was in the news this week about how -- about california in particular, about how a bunch of the major health care centers in california were going to be secluded from some of the lesser, cheaper plans in california. is this a real problem? >> anyone who is going to be shopping for coverage on the exchange needs to look at the network of providers that each plan will offer and some will not include every provider. and if you have a physician that you want to be sure you're able to continue to see, if you have a hospital that's close to where you live, you should make sure that the plan you choose includes that. what we're going to be seeing is that a lot of plans will be going back to kind of the days of the hmo's a few years ago, narrow network. they do that because they can presumably save cost and enhance network, quite frankly. that hospital in st. louis probably will be on some health plans, not others. >> maybe on the other expensive ones. quick, from both of you, 15 seconds each. what do you think is going to happen as this rolls out in the next year? >> i think people on the low end, near the poverty scale, will benefit but people middle income wide not, those are the people who are critical to making the exchanges work the way they were intended to. >> wrewendell. >> i think motte all people -- most all people will benefit. also keep in mind that family premiums increased 113% between 2001 and 2011. so we have had increases that have been hefty for a long time and i think we'll see some moderation going forward. >> all right, wendell, ovick, i really appreciate you being with us. atheism is on the decline. how does the community are appreciate the religion brought? we'll layer that next. on tv and online. >> one of the fastest growing groups in the united states is one without religious affiliation. don't identify with any religion. among them are atheists and agnostics, almost 13 million people. in communist and former communist countries, the numbers are even higher. in vietnam, more than 80% are reportedly nonbelievers. to discuss what the growth of atheism means to america, a former rabbi who is now an atheist. joimg us from cambridge, massachusetts, and where atheism stops and religion begins. thank you very much for being with us tonight. andrew you wrote a blog asking are the holes that are being left in the fabric of society as we see the institution of religion retreating, what exactly do you see happening? as the growth of the atheists and nonbelievers grow? >> i think what you see primarily is a lack of services that are traditionally provided by religious organizations, so we're looking at soup kitchens, homeless shelters, disaster relief, food pantries, things like that where church members come together, they volunteer, provide hours in labor, because that's what they believe they need to be doing, per their faith tradition. and that's something that we're seeing on the decline with the decline of church attendance, as well as with the rise of atheism, where there isn't as much of a social -- >> but you're not just concerned about the services provided by churches and religious organizations. you're concerned about the people themselves that somehow they are missing on a social aspect of their lives that's important. >> no, that's a great question. you can see the community service ads very enriching to a person, very enriching to their community, giving back to themselves by giving back to others. now whether that is a fundamental part of life that can't be found elsewhere i think that's a stretch. but i think the church does a great job of allowing people easier access than you would have if you weren't attending or a part of a church community. >> now greg you are in charge of a humanist community in harvard, humanism is a progressive philosophy of are are life can that without theism, ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity. isn't a humanist chaplain a contradiction of terms? >> yes i'm a walking oxymoron, i'm happy to be. this is something much more common today than it ever has before in human history and it is going to become more and more common and that is humanists, who are atheist or agnostic, with positive lives with positive value with integrity, reason, compassion, concern and care for others and for the world, that are living their lives as part of communities. and so i think andrew raises a really important point. but what it really comes down to is human beings always needed community. we always will need community. we are the most social species on the planet. and religion for most of human history is the place where human beings go to find community. but now people like me, and there are thousands of us around the country if not tens or hundreds of thousands of us, are working on building what i don't mind calling godless congregations, for humans atheists and ago no, sir ticks that we serve people who are suffering from then sh dementiad alwayalzheimer's. >> he said in his piece that faith communities account for a lot of these, if it weren't for churches mosques and synagogues. one of our viewers tweeted in something about this, martha ward and she said, why set the expectation, they with others can act within secular institutions. do we need these godless societies, andrew, as greg just mentioned? >> i would believe so, yeah. i think society, community, a godless society, godless community, secular community however you want to fraig frame it, allows you not to become siloed and just living in your own world, detached from everything else. and so i think there needs to be some sort of proactiveness and for people who don't see themselves in traditional religious community. if that's going to a humanist organization, great. if you are friends through activities or sports, something to make sure that you are plugged in and that you are interacting and you don't see yourself becoming a person on an island. >> greg if the mission of your godless society of your humanist community is to welcome the community, how are you being welcomed by the community? obviously you're in cambridge. i lived there for a while. i know it's not representative of the rest of the country. but how are you received? how do people react to you when you talk about this? >> you know most people haven't heard of this idea as a humanist are chaplain. that's fine. it is fun to explain to people that there is this new concept. there is humanist communities, i have fun calling them godless congregations, for over 100 years in this country. and in my first book i tell the story of the history of humanism, the idea of being good without god, or humanist, goes back for over a thousand years. people are learning that in this society, in an america that is the least religious america than it has ever been, people are having a good experience learning at a their friends and neighbors are s together and are s together and doing things in the sake of humanism. my congregation of humanists got together right before thanksgiving and we raised several hundred dollars to buy nutritious are meals, and we packaged these meals, 40,000 meals we packaged together, this was lead by a young man who works for my organization, named chris, who is our assistant chaplain. but we had hundreds of people that were involved in this project. and we invited religious congregation he to come with us. so it was the humanists and the atheisting and the muslims and the zoro asians and -- >> and you all -- >> and the need for this has increased by 23%, we are raising our scope by 50,000 meals just this thanksgiving. that's a example of what godless congregations are doing with their time right now. >> refers to atheists that religion is the pariah and weighs society down, must match if not exceed that which it is correcting. sounds what greg is doing is certainly along those lines what you're calling for. >> absolutely. and i think what greg is doing and what communities like his are doing are exactly what needs to occur. as we see a decline in one cultural institution, we should expect that there's an increase in another. and to bring in communities, traditional faith communities with atheist communities, with nonreligious, godless societies is exactly what should be going on. it's just a different kind of interfaith dialogue where people are putting aside religious belief to see what the community needs to see what need is out there and addressing it in a communal sort of way that transcends theological ways. if we are not talking about what's happening in the community, if we're not talking about who is suffering, if we are not talking about lifting up the least of us in our society, then in my opinion we are doing something wrong and we need to reanalyze our theology that allows us to cast a blind eye to those who need our help the most. >> the university of tennessee looked add atheists and what their belief systems were and they found that only about 14% were antitheist, those that were actively lobbying against the presence of god in america today. and they are of course the ones that get the most attention because they are suing to get god out of pledge of allegiance or to change the motto of the united states from in god we trust to something else. are they a distinct minority that you are not happy are representing you? >> i'll let greg deal with this. >> most nonreligious are not antireligion. i'd like you to think of us as any other group. we are a community and we are a community of positive values. and we can call those positive values by the name humanism. andrew and i would definitely like to work together. i'd hav invite him to come to cambridge. but you can check out what we're doing in harvard scare, but we are actually looking on building humanist organizations across the country. i'll tell you about a woman named sara, who god involved vex in politics in her area and found a homeless shelter was running out of funding. but this homeless shelter was not discriminating against anybody on basis of religion. it wasn't proselytizing, she spent 20 days living with other people who were experiencing homelessness out in the blistering heat of arizona and talking why her atheism motivated her to do it. and sara has had health challenges of her own and this was difficult to her but she was so determined to show as a humanist and atheist, she couldn't abide that people had to suffer without human services and experiencing homelessness, that is one of hundreds if not thousands of stories in humanist communities right now. >> all right greg and andrew, it's an interesting story that hasn't been told much. i thank you both for coming on to let us know about it. coming up mcdonald's makes an attempt to lessen calorie content by offering are vegetables in its happy meals. data dive next. re# #a# #d# #y# ##fo# #r# ## >> today's data dive takes a big bite out of america's diet. mcdonald's announced plans to offer a salad or vegetables in mickey d's happy meals. marketing drinks more appealingly to kids. the change comes to its 20 biggest markets in early next year and to every store in 2020. how the company markets unhealthy food okids. a study found 99% of ads for tv comes on mcdonald's and burger king on children's networks. meanwhile, america's diet has changed but not by much. the u.s. department of agriculture finds that the average american eats about 500 more calories than they did in 1970. a jump of 23%. no wonder our waist lines have grown. but while our intake has increased, we are eating the same things. fruit, vegetables, lean dairy meats, nuts and eggs are virtually at the same level. despite our health consciousness, the boost in calories come from fats and sugars. 24% of the total. also surprisingly while basic dairy products declined by 13 calories, added fats and oils and dairy fats went up mainly due to foods like yogurt. so while our plates may have gotten bigger over the past 40 years, what's on them hasn't. coming up as the israeli palestinian conflict goes on, the community that continues on without violence. that's all i have an real money. victoria azarenko >> every sunday night >> every sunday night >> the israeli-papalestinian conflict, president mahmoud abas, nonviolent efforts are being modeled on successful protests that are taken place in a small town called boudros about ten years ago. stood up to an israeli border fence, that was being built, crush their main source of income, olive trees. their story was turned into a documentary, called boudras, airs on al jazeera america at 9:00 p.m. sunday. hear how one woman stands up to an israeli bulldozer. >> the soldier could do nothing except take the bulldozer away. >> that brave woman joins us in sarajevo, where she is going to medical school. thank you both for being with us. elkazan, palestinian violence. your father was the mayor of boudras, what pushed him to push for nonviolence, nonviolent protests? >> palestinians were using nonviolence, not a new thing for palestinians. they decided not to focus on that subject but decided to focus on other things. but as i said, nonviolence was used by palestinians before to protest the first intefada. when the war came in boudros and we knew we knew to what we planned, we knew that the best way to do it is using nonviolence. because israelis -- israel is so proud of its military, and using nonviolence to protest wouldn't -- would make it impossible for israelis to use their military forces. and we knew that the use of violence would not make it any better and at that time we were thinking about ways and tragically to save our land. the main point was to save land, making -- it wasn't about -- it's mostly was about saving land. and nonviolence was the only and the best way strategy you could have. >> to her point, jessica, the director of the movie and i quote her or paraphrase her, there are two misconceptions, one among retail israelis that nonviolence has no chance among palestinians. is what what you found? >> we wanted to find a successful model that we could use to put nonviolence on the map and mainstream internationally and local communities have a model that could hold up that was both successful and provided the steps necessary to get to that success. boudros was very unique, to draw in israeli and international support and the way the women's contingent really took to the front lines. >> you said the movement was made possible in part because of israelis helping out and israelis coming to your side of the issue. i know you described that experience as transformative. how did that change your view of israelis? >> during our protest we met some of the israelis. and to me, at that age from my experience with jews and israelis, they were the occupiers, they were the soldiers. they were the people who were taking my father away from me in jail. so this is my idea about the israelis and jews. and i didn't want anybody, for me, to define for me, i could see it in my eyes, all what i could see was the soldier who was arresting my father, the soldiers who was harming my family, but for me in the process seeing israelis on my side, and resisting the occupation, that was a very big thing. and also, the fact that the people of boudros accepted them among us. >> and i want to listen to -- israelis have big safety concerns because of all the issues after all this time. and we have a clip from the film where daron spielman, an israeli soldier, talks about the fence. >> the fence that trumps everything. the fence does go onto palestinian property. boidros is one such place. it is a thing that is extremely unforfeit to the lives of the palestinian people, however it is less unfortunate than the death of an israeli. >> your opinion? >> the fact they call it a security wall, it's not about security. it's about spilling onto a land, if you built the walls on your neighbor's land and you expect security that -- >> i want to ask one final question. has this movement, this exemplified by boudros, has it in success in the west bank and probably less so in gaza. >> at the end of the scene we show a scene, villages like boudros using similar tactics resisting certain aspects of the occupation. i think that's one important piece, but at the same time, it is important to note that nonviolence has been present part of the palestinian struggle for dignity and peace, for many decades and iltezam herself illustrates the peace -- >> we have to go, thank you iltizam. boudras request be seen on sunday at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. thank you very much, we'll see you next time. >> resolution received 15 votes in favor. so the draft resolution has been adopted unanimously, diplomacy can be so powerful it can peacefully defuse to worst weapons of war. >> the chair will receive a message. >> on the verge of a government shut down, congress gets ready for a long weekend as
