Not by the oil gas, coal, or nuclear companies when we cover the climate catastrophe.

From New York, this is DemocracyNow.

Today's civilization is once again at a crucial turning point. A real war has once again been unleashed against our homeland.

Russia and President Vladimir Putin accuses the West of unleashing a war against Russia during a victory day celebration in Moscow marking the Soviet defeat of the Nazis in World War II.

As Russia launches waves of drone strikes against Ukraine and Kiev prepares for a major counteroffensive, the Biden administration is sending another $1.2 billion of weapons to Ukraine.

Should the US be pushing for peace talks? We will speak to Phyllis Venice of the Institute for Policy Studies, then to Sudan, where the humanitarian crisis is worsening as fighting between rival military factions enters its 25th day.

Essentially, both of them now are in a battle to the death. They can see because there's zero or some gain.

There's a need for population throughout the country's health hostage to the ambitions, the political and economic ambitions of these two generals.

And protesters are continuing over the death of Jordan Neely, a long time New York street performer who is choked to death by a former Marine on a subway car moments after Neely screamed out.

He was hungry and thirsty. The medical examiner has ruled his death a homicide, but no charges have been filed.

We'll speak with an activist with the group Vocal New York and another street performer who knew Jordan from his time when he worked as a Michael Jackson impersonator.

All that and more coming up.

At least 13 people were killed in the Gaza Strip overnight as Israeli forces targeted a residential apartment building in Gaza City.

We have children, women, patients and elderly people. This is not normal.

Israel's latest attack comes just a week after Israeli air strikes rained down on the besiege Gaza Strip following rocket launches from Gaza in response to the death of Palestinian hunger strike or Haddad Adnan, well in an Israeli prison.
