Welcome to democracyow democracynow.org00:00:04
the war and peace report. I'm Amy00:00:06
Goodman. Gaza's health ministry says the00:00:08
official death toll has topped00:00:11
50,000 as Israel continues to bombard00:00:15
and block Gaza, but it's widely believed00:00:18
the actual death toll is far higher. On00:00:21
Sunday, Israeli forces bombed a surgical00:00:23
unit at Nasser Hospital in Kanunas, the00:00:26
largest functioning hospital in Gaza.00:00:29
The attack killed two people, including00:00:31
Ismael Bahum, a member of Hamas's00:00:34
political bureau. Hamas said he was at00:00:36
the hospital for treatment for injuries00:00:38
suffered in an earlier Israeli strike. A00:00:41
16-year-old boy was also killed in the00:00:44
hospital attack. The American trauma00:00:46
surgeon for Osido was at Nasser Hospital00:00:49
at the time of the attack and said the00:00:51
teenager killed was his00:00:54
patient. You know, I've certainly never00:00:56
had a patient injured in an explosion um00:01:00
brought to the hospital, taken care of,00:01:03
doing well, ready to go home, and then00:01:05
blown up in his uh in his hospital bed.00:01:07
That's a first. Um and that should be uh00:01:11
what we call in medicine a never event.00:01:13
Uh, that's not really supposed to00:01:14
happen. Um, it it I just I I can't00:01:17
emphasize enough. It just doesn't matter00:01:19
who is in the hospital. It's not legal00:01:22
to blow it up. It's not legal to kill00:01:24
people in here. It's not legal to attack00:01:25
people in here. It's not ethical. It's00:01:27
completely crazy. To see our interviews00:01:30
with Dr. Fose Sida, you can go to00:01:34
democracynow.org. In a separate strike,00:01:36
Israel blew up the Turkish Friendship00:01:38
Hospital, Gaza's only specialized cancer00:01:41
hospital. The hospital had been closed00:01:43
since November 2023 due to Israeli00:01:46
attacks. At one point, Israeli troops00:01:49
had turned the hospital into a military00:01:52
outpost. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign00:01:54
Affairs condemned the bombing, saying it00:01:56
was quote part of Israel's policy aimed00:01:59
at rendering Gaza uninhabitable and00:02:01
forcibly displacing the Palestinian00:02:04
people unquote. In other news on Gaza,00:02:07
Israel's security cabinet has approved00:02:09
forming what it calls a quote voluntary00:02:12
immigration bureau in Gaza as Israel and00:02:16
the United States push for the ethnic00:02:18
cleansing of Gaza. In Turkey, a court00:02:22
has formally arrested opposition leader00:02:25
the Istanbul mayor Ekram Imamolu days00:02:28
after he was detained on corruption00:02:31
charges. Imamolu is President Rechup00:02:34
Taip Erdogan's biggest rival seen by00:02:37
many as the best chance of ending00:02:39
Erdogan's longstanding autocratic rule.00:02:42
Following the news, tens of thousands of00:02:45
protesters took to the streets of00:02:47
Istanbul where they met with pepper00:02:49
spray and tear gas by police. Over 30000:02:53
people have been arrested in00:02:54
demonstrations in recent days. Ahead of00:02:57
his arrest, Stumble University revoked00:03:00
Immolu's degree, a move which bars him00:03:04
from running for president. Nonetheless,00:03:07
his Republican People's Party or CHP,00:03:10
said Ecram Imamolu, received00:03:13
overwhelming support during Sunday's00:03:15
election to select a primary candidate,00:03:18
including from millions of voters who00:03:20
are not party members.00:03:23
PHP leader Osgar addressed Sunday's00:03:26
rally in Istanbul00:03:31
by keeping him in prison for 4 days,00:03:33
sending him to court while Turkey was00:03:35
going to the polls for him and sending00:03:37
him to prison while Turkey was electing00:03:40
him. Erdogan defied not only him but00:03:42
millions and attempted to stage a coup.00:03:46
Meanwhile, X, the social media platform00:03:49
owned by Elon Musk, has suspended a00:03:52
number of accounts belonging to00:03:54
opposition activists and academics in00:03:57
Turkey. Education Secretary Linda00:03:59
McMahon said Columbia University is on00:04:01
track to regain $400 million in federal00:04:03
funding after the Ivy League institution00:04:06
yielded to the Trump administration's00:04:08
demands Friday. Those include banning00:04:11
face masks on campus, hiring 36 new00:04:15
security officers with greater power to00:04:18
arrest and crack down on students, and00:04:21
appointing a senior vice provost to00:04:24
oversee the departments of Middle00:04:25
Eastern, South Asian, and African00:04:27
Studies and the Center for Palestine00:04:29
Studies. Students say they will continue00:04:32
to fight for Palestinian rights and for00:04:35
Colombia to divest from Israel. Free00:04:37
speech experts are sounding the alarm.00:04:40
This is Donna Lieberman, executive00:04:42
director of the New York Civil Liberties00:04:44
Union. Unfortunately, um uh it appears00:04:48
that Colombia has comp capitulated to00:04:52
the bullying of the Trump00:04:55
administration and uh seated significant00:04:58
control over um academic decisions um00:05:03
like a couple of departments. um uh00:05:07
admissions discipline um to the Trump00:05:10
administration uh in return for uh the00:05:15
Trump administration00:05:16
um backing off from uh its threat to cut00:05:20
off $400 million in uh grants that have00:05:24
absolutely nothing to do with claims of00:05:29
anti-semitism or failure to deal with00:05:31
it.00:05:32
Columbia University students are00:05:34
returning to classes today after spring00:05:36
break. We'll have more on this story00:05:39
later in the broadcast. We'll speak with00:05:42
former Colombia Law School Professor00:05:44
Katherine Frankie. On Friday night,00:05:47
President Trump issued a memo directing00:05:49
the Attorney General Pam Bondi and00:05:50
Homeland Security Secretary Christy00:05:53
Gnome to punish law firms and lawyers00:05:56
who file what the administration views00:05:59
as frivolous or unreasonable lawsuits00:06:02
against the federal government. The memo00:06:04
is widely seen as a way to target00:06:06
immigration lawyers. Former Justice00:06:09
Department official Veneta Gupta said00:06:11
the memo quote attacks the very00:06:14
foundations of our legal system by00:06:16
threatening and intimidating litigants00:06:18
who aim to hold our government00:06:20
accountable to the law and the00:06:22
Constitution, she said. Meanwhile, a00:06:24
court battle continues over Trump's use00:06:27
of the Alien Enemies Act to transfer00:06:30
over 130 Venezuelan men from the United00:06:34
States to an El00:06:35
Salvadoran Supermax prison after they00:06:38
were accused of being gang members. An00:06:41
appeals court will hear oral arguments00:06:43
today on the case. On Friday, US00:06:46
District Judge James Booseberg called00:06:48
Trump's use of the law to be incredibly00:06:51
troublesome and problematic. The Trump00:06:54
administration's appealing Boseberg's00:06:56
decision to halt flights under the Alien00:06:58
Enemies Act. The Trump administration's00:07:01
announced plans to revoke temporary00:07:03
immigration protections for more than00:07:06
530,000 people from Cuba, Haiti,00:07:09
Nicaragua, and Venezuela that were00:07:11
granted under a Biden era humanitarian00:07:14
parole initiative known as CHNV. In00:07:17
other immigration news, the Washington00:07:19
Post is reporting the IRS is close to00:07:22
agreeing to a deal to give addresses and00:07:26
other personal information about00:07:28
suspected undocumented immigrants to the00:07:31
Department of Homeland Security. One00:07:34
former IRS official told the Post,00:07:37
quote, "It's a complete betrayal of 3000:07:40
years of the government telling00:07:41
immigrants to file their taxes."00:07:45
In other related news, DHS has shut down00:07:48
three internal watchdog agencies that00:07:51
advocated for immigrants, including the00:07:54
Office for Civil Rights and Civil00:07:57
Liberties. A federal judge Friday00:08:00
blocked Immigration and Customs00:08:01
Enforcement, ICE, from deporting Janette00:08:04
Visetta, a well-known immigrant rights00:08:07
activist, mother of four who was00:08:09
detained in Denver last Monday. US Judge00:08:12
Nina Wang's order also prevents federal00:08:16
authorities from transferring Vizetta00:08:18
out of Colorado and gave the government00:08:21
a deadline of today to demonstrate why00:08:23
Janette Visgetta should not be00:08:27
released. The head of the US Social00:08:29
Security Administration threatened00:08:31
Friday to shut down the agency then back00:08:35
down from the threat. Trump's head of00:08:37
social security, Leeland Dodk, made the00:08:41
initial threat after a federal judge00:08:43
blocked Elon Musk's Doge from accessing00:08:47
social security records, which the judge00:08:49
likened to a fishing expedition.00:08:52
Meanwhile, Trump's commerce secretary,00:08:54
the billionaire Howard Lutnik, has00:08:57
sparked outrage after suggesting only00:09:00
fraudsters would complain if Social00:09:03
Security checks didn't go out on time.00:09:08
Social Security didn't send out their00:09:10
checks. Mhm. This month, my00:09:14
mother-in-law, who's00:09:16
94, she wouldn't call and complain. Mhm.00:09:19
She just wouldn't. She thinks something00:09:20
got messed up and she'll get it next00:09:22
month. Yeah. A00:09:25
fraudster00:09:27
always makes the loudest noise,00:09:29
screaming, yelling, and complaining.00:09:32
Elon Musk visited the Pentagon Friday00:09:34
for a highlevel meeting with Defense00:09:36
Secretary Pete Hegth and others. The New00:09:39
York Times had reported Musk was00:09:41
scheduled to receive a briefing on top00:09:43
secret US plans for a potential war with00:09:46
China, but the briefing was cancelled00:09:49
after it was reported in the press. Musk00:09:52
threatened to go after whoever leaked00:09:54
what he called maliciously false00:09:56
information to the New York Times. Musk00:09:58
has close business ties with China,00:10:01
which is Tesla's second largest market.00:10:04
China is also the home of Tesla's00:10:07
largest00:10:08
factory. Elon Musk's political action00:10:11
committee is offering voters in00:10:12
Wisconsin $100 to sign a petition00:10:16
opposing what he calls activist judges00:10:19
ahead of Wisconsin's Supreme Court00:10:21
election on April 1st. Two Muskbacked00:10:25
groups have spent over $20 million on00:10:28
the race to support Republican Brad00:10:30
Shiml over Democrat Susan Crawford. The00:10:34
race will decide control of the00:10:36
Wisconsin Supreme00:10:38
Court. US and Russian officials are00:10:41
holding talks in Saudi Arabia today, a00:10:43
day after the US held negotiations with00:10:45
Ukraine. The talks are focused in part00:10:48
on a proposed pause to attacks on energy00:10:51
facilities between Russia and Ukraine,00:10:54
as well as securing a possible maritime00:10:56
ceasefire in the Black Sea. On Sunday, a00:10:59
Russian drone attack killed seven00:11:01
people, including a 5-year-old child in00:11:04
Kev. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone attacks00:11:07
killed two people in00:11:08
Russia. Sudan's military's retaken00:11:11
control over most of Central Kartum over00:11:13
the weekend after soldiers seized the00:11:15
presidential palace in the capital00:11:17
Friday. By Sunday, the Sudin army also00:11:19
captured the central bank and the00:11:21
headquarters of the National00:11:22
Intelligence Service. Analysts say it00:11:24
could be a major turning point in the00:11:26
devastating civil war between Sudin00:11:28
forces and the rapid support forces00:11:30
which is nearing the 2-year mark and has00:11:32
created the world's largest humanitarian00:11:35
disaster. South African Ambassador00:11:38
Ibrahim Rasul returned home to a hero's00:11:41
welcome Sunday after being expelled from00:11:44
Washington. Secretary of State Marco00:11:47
Rubio recently declared Rasul to be00:11:49
persona nonrada. In the latest move00:11:52
taken by the Trump administration00:11:54
against South Africa. Speaking in Cape00:11:57
Town Sunday, Russul criticized the Trump00:11:59
administration for cutting off aid to00:12:02
South Africa.00:12:04
We have tried to engage. We have been00:12:07
met with executive orders that cut our00:12:09
aid, cut PEPA, and now we sit with the00:12:12
idea that millions could be reinfected00:12:15
with HIV and AIDS. The research for the00:12:18
vaccine may not be um one that could be00:12:21
completed. Those are the dangerous00:12:23
things that are happening and why we00:12:25
must mend our relationship or sit out00:12:28
the next four years.00:12:30
South African ambassador Rasul has also00:12:34
said South Africa will resist pressure00:12:36
from the US and other nations to drop00:12:38
its genocide case against Israel at the00:12:41
International Court of Justice. South00:12:44
Korea's constitutional court has00:12:46
dismissed the impeachment of Prime00:12:47
Minister Han Dak Su Monday, reinstating00:12:49
him as acting president. Han took on the00:12:52
interim presidency after Yun Sukul was00:12:54
suspended over a short-lived declaration00:12:57
of martial law in December. Han's been00:12:59
accused of complicity in the failed00:13:01
martial law attempt and of refusing to00:13:03
appoint judges to the constitutional00:13:05
court. A ruling on Yun's fate is00:13:08
expected soon. Mass protests have taken00:13:11
place over soul streets amidst the00:13:13
deepening political turmoil. Canada's00:13:17
new prime minister Mark Carney called on00:13:19
Sunday for snap federal elections to be00:13:21
held April 28th.00:13:25
We are facing the most significant00:13:27
crisis of our lifetimes because of00:13:29
President Trump's unjustified trade00:13:31
actions and his threats to our00:13:35
sovereignty. Our response must be to00:13:37
build a strong economy and a more secure00:13:41
Canada. President Trump claims that00:13:44
Canada isn't a real country.00:13:50
He wants to break00:13:51
us so America can own00:13:55
us. We will not let that happen. Carney,00:13:59
a former central banker with little00:14:02
political experience, is hoping to00:14:03
consolidate his Liberal Party's power00:14:05
after the popularity of the opposition00:14:07
Conservative Party soared during his00:14:10
predecessor, Prime Minister Justin00:14:12
Trudeau's final months in power.00:14:15
Greenland's prime minister has expressed00:14:18
outrage over what he called the Trump00:14:20
administration's highly aggressive plan00:14:22
to send second lady Usha Vance, national00:14:26
security adviser Michael Waltz, and00:14:28
Energy Secretary Chris Wright to00:14:30
Greenland this week. Over the past two00:14:33
months, President Trump has repeatedly00:14:35
threatened to take control of Greenland,00:14:36
quote, one way or another.00:14:40
And on Friday, an estimated00:14:42
34,000 people gathered in Denver,00:14:45
Colorado for a massive rally to hear00:14:48
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and00:14:50
Congress member Alexandria Kaziocortez00:14:52
of New York as part of their fighting00:14:54
oligarchy tour. It was the largest rally00:14:57
of either of their political careers.00:15:01
We will not allow America to become an00:15:05
oligarchy.00:15:10
This nation was built by working people.00:15:17
And we're not going to let a handful of00:15:20
billionaires run the government.00:15:23
Power and corruption is taking over this00:15:27
country like never before.00:15:30
And we are here most importantly because00:15:34
we know that a better world is00:15:40
possible. AOC and Senator Sanders. Other00:15:44
speakers at the rally included Alvaro00:15:46
Badoya, the Federal Trade Commissioner00:15:49
who was fired by Trump last week and is00:15:52
suing for his00:15:53
reinstatement. Those are some of the00:15:55
headlines. This is Democracy Now.00:15:58
