From new york. Today on the program, the knesset votes to take away a key power of the Supreme Court. And as Benjamin Netanyahu urges calm, the nations Political Center and left erupt in anger. Ill talk to the New York Times tom friedman and with Emily Bazelon about the legal issues. Then, the secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on the good news and the bad news from americas Southern Border. Finally, did President Putin or gain power after prigozhins failed mutiny . Ill ask russian journalist in exile mikhail zygar. But first, here is my take. The Mystery Disappearance of chinas Foreign Minister is a timely reminder that the future of u. S. China relations about be determined not just by american policy, and what is happening domestically in the United States, such as the president ial election campaign, it will also be shaped by developments in china. Which at this point are opaque but troubling. From what outsiders could tell, china is reverting to a mild era style of
how likely is that that the saudis do not seem interested in the fate of the palestinian people. the problem for the saudis is they can t get this deal through except under a joe biden presidency. because democrats wouldn t support it at all under a republican presidency and that marines joe biden has to be attendive to his base and the base of the party. they care that this is a fair deal for the palestinians. so the saudis may not be interested in this. but the u.s. senate is quite interested. and the base of the democratic party is interested in this. it is ironic, the crown prince of saudi arabia, mohammed bin salman holds the future in his hands. he may know be interested in jewish history, but injuryish history is interested in him. always a pleasure to talk to you. thanks, fareed. when we come back, we ll dig further into israel s judicial overhaul. is netanyahu right that the judges have become too powerful?
