Good morning, and happy to have you with us. This is al Jazeera America. For the first time in 17 years the u. S. Government has shut down. The house and senate could not come to a deal to pass a temporary budget to keep things running. So when the clock struck midnight federal agencies were ordered to start shutting down. Harry reid placed the blame squarely on the tea partys shoulders. It is embasing that these people that are elected to represent the country, are representing the tea party, the anarchists and that the majority of the house are falling every step of the way. This is an unnecessary blow, to america. Earlier on monday night, president obama called the republican speaker of the house john baner to ask him to pass a spending bill without undermining the Affordable Care act better known as obamacare. The Health Care Law which goes into effect, has been a main Sticking Point for republicans. The house has made its position known very clearly. We believe we should fund the
I was in shock. We ran outside of the room that we were in and told our aunt and uncle what happened. They did not believe me. They asked the man would happen and the man told them that my cousin and i were lying. I was scared. I told my mom to tell her what happened and she became really upset and fainted because she decided after i told her this, she came to guatemala to protect me. And my mom was scared that i would be harmed and decided to quickly bring me to the United States. I thought about going to the police but it took me two hours just to walk to the station. Auntad of helping me, my and uncle punished us. They hit us with a belt and sent us to our room. I do not think the police would have helped me because they are very corrupt. The couple of months ago before woman who sold food door to door in the neighborhood who got shot in the chest. I heard three gunshots and saw the blood from her wound. I ran inside of my house. I learned later that no one was arrested from the att
Restoration of the russian empire. Putin believes the rightful place for russia is a major player in the world. He believes that democracy is kind of some thing that is for other countries. Power and heonto will do what is necessary to hang onto the power. It doesnt mean he will have a massacre of people, although in chechnya, it is incredibly brutal. I think we need to identify him for what he is. Cracks down on human rights. Puts people in jail. Is responsible for the death of at least betray him for what he is rather than this grand illusion at least portray him for what he is rather than this grand illusion. We have to have the relation with russia, but it has to be an honest relationship. Cap. Wink or a nod or a or a tap. That is not the way to approach putin. And the snowden thing was just a sign of disrespect. It was a sign is respect to the United States of america that they gave asylum to mr. Snowden. In the back. Two people in the ill. Aisle. To beator, you are known a suppor
And fix the crisis a the the border airborne deadly pathogens admitted to being shipped. Remembering a legend. From the civil rights to journalism a look at the life of John Seigenthaler senior. We begin in israel and gaza. It was the fourth straight day of a fight showing no sign of stopping. In gaza 120 people have died, including 24 children as israeli air strikes bombard the densely populated strip. In israel there has been no deaths, partly thanks to israels Missile Defense system, stopping 140 rockets from gaza. Today there were wounded when a rocket hit a gas station. And the world is taking sides. In london, paris and rome thousands of protesters turned out in support of gaza, calling for an end to israeli strikes. The United Nations Security Council drafted a statement on gaza, it will be adopted by the Security Council if no delegates raise objections before tomorrow morning, 9 oclock, eastern time. The draft statement calls for a deesalation and a reinstitution of the 2012 c
What you couldnt and i couldnt. Thats why the process matters. You have both sides weighing in on significant issue. Its the largest Domestic Initiative in our history. Sitting at the table working for it you think about the Civil Rights Act and how it passed, that was bipartisan. Social security and medicare, how to gratify the constitution, giving the women are the right to vote. It is because the United States congresss willingness to work on landmark initiatives and that is not happening with the Affordable Care act. It should have been a process in which everybody was engaged on both sides. I wont get into the why it didnt, but unfortunately it didnt. Ultimately, people are paying the price today. Thats why i think so many people are saying, you know what, i prefer gridlock. With so many problems of the implementation, they say. Not that there wouldnt be as your problems with an initiative of this kind, but it would be less awesome because you have more interest to make sure it wo
