NATS - Tehran demonstrators
KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: Israel » Chants of Death to Israel and Death to America coming from Iran's capital. Demonstrators gathered in Tehran to call for revenge for the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The protest came one day after Iran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel. Most of those were shot down by Israel's Iron Dome defense system...with help from U-S interceptors.
U-S Ambassador to the U-N Linda Thomas-Greenfield had a stark warning for Iran at a meeting of the U-N Security Council yesterday:
THOMAS-GREENFIELD - Let me be clear. The Iranian regime will be held responsible for its actions, and we strongly warn against Iran or its proxies taking actions against the United States or further actions against Israel.
President Biden said he spoke with the leaders of G-7 countries Wednesday and all of them condemned Iran's attack and favored additional sanctions against Iran.
But when asked if they would support an attack by Israel on Iran's nuclear sites…
BIDEN - The answer is no. And I think there's been... We'll be discussing with the Israelis what they're going to do, but all seven of us agree that they have a right to respond.
Meanwhile...Israel continues its fight against the terror group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Israel's military says seven Israeli soldiers were killed in two separate incidents as Israel begins limited ground incursions into Lebanon to target Hezbollah infrastructure.
NYC stepping up security as Oct 7 approaches » New York City is stepping up security … as Jewish New Yorkers observe Rosh Hashanah … and the anniversary of the October 7th terror attacks against Israel draws near.
Mayor Eric Adams:
ADAMS: New Yorkers can expect an increased police presence at key locations and houses of worship, and you will notice more of them in uniform. We are deploying additional cameras to sensitive locations.
Adams said that will complement the 80,000 surveillance cameras that the NYPD already has positioned around the city.
New York City has the highest concentration of Jewish residents in the U.S. More than a million Jewish Americans live in or around the city.
Ukraine withdraw » Russian forces have seized control of key, strategically important city in eastern Ukraine. WORLD’s Paul Butler reports.
PAUL BUTLER: The hilltop city of Vuhledar had been a stronghold for Ukraine throughout the war. Its location and elevation gave Ukrainian troops a tactically important high-ground position.
VOLOSHYN: (Speaking in Ukrainian)
But a military spokesman says senior commanders in Kyiv ordered a strategic retreat from the city … to avoid heavy losses as Moscow’s forces moved in.
Russia now controls large portions of the Donetsk province where the city is located. Vladimir Putin has made control of the region a top priority.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has continued to appeal to Washington … to allow Kyiv to use U.S.-provided missiles to strike deeper into Russia.
For WORLD, I’m Paul Butler.
Helene / Biden » President Biden witnessed the destruction in North Carolina firsthand on Wednesday. He called Hurricane Helene and its remnants a storm of “historic proportions.”
BIDEN: The damage is still being assessed, but many people are still unaccounted for. So I'm here to say the United States, the nation has your back. We're not leaving your back on your feet completely.
The president heard there in Raleigh, where he met with first responders … many of whom have been searching for residents still unaccounted for since the storm ripped through the region last week.
Western North Carolina was especially hard hit by catastrophic flooding.
And Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee says the eastern part of his state has also been devastated.
LEE: The damage, the loss of life. There are people still missing. There's a great deal of effort to to reunify those who are unaccounted for.
President Biden will visit storm damaged parts of Florida and Georgia today.
DOJ vs GA prisons » The Department of Justice says living conditions in Georgia’s prisons are so poor that they constitute cruel and unusual punishment … and violate the constitutional rights of prisoners.
The DOJ released a report this week detailing its assertions.
DOJ assistant attorney general Kristen Clarke:
CLARKE: Gangs control multiple aspects of day-to-day life in the prisons we investigated, including access to phones, showers, food and bed assignments. We received credible allegations of beatings, coerced sex acts and extortion by gangs. We found that gangs exert pressure on staff, and that staff have themselves trafficked contraband.
Georgia’s prison department told WORLD that its prisons exceed constitutional requirements…and the issues described in D-O-J’s report are challenges that all prisons face.
Women’s volleyball teams forfeit games vs. San Jose State » Division 1 Women’s volleyball teams are choosing to forfeit games against San Jose State University … after it allowed a male athlete on its roster. WORLD’s Kristen Flavin reports.
KRISTEN FLAVIN: The University of Wyoming said it would not play a scheduled women’s volleyball game against San José State on Saturday.
San Jose’s Blaire Fleming is a male athlete who identifies as a woman. And with Fleming’s powerful 6-foot-1 presence on the court … the team is undefeated this season.
San José State told WORLD that its roster complied with NCAA rules. The NCAA’s Board of Governors in 2022 adopted a policy framework that limits the testosterone levels of women’s sports athletes, but does not account for the many advantages male athletes have over women aside from hormone levels.
The University of Wyoming was reportedly the third school to forfeit women’s games against San José State.
For WORLD, I’m Kristen Flavin.
I'm Kent Covington.
Straight ahead: debunking a pro-abortion argument.
Plus, preparing for winter in Ukraine.
This is The World and Everything in It.
MARY REICHARD, HOST: It’s Thursday the 3rd of October.
This is WORLD Radio, and we’re so glad you’ve joined us today. Good morning, I’m Mary Reichard.
MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown.
First up on The World and Everything in It…debunking myths around caring for women with pregnancy complications.
DEBATE: Moderator 1: …Senator, your time is up. Nora?
Moderator 2: Thank you. Now to the issue of Reproductive Rights…
On Tuesday night, Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz debated issues ranging from the economy to abortion. During the conversation, Governor Walz told a story to illustrate his concerns about pro-life state laws.
WALZ: There's a young woman named Amber Thurman. She happened to be in Georgia, a restrictive state. Because of that, she had to travel a long distance to North Carolina to try and get her care. Amber Thurman died in that journey back and forth…
The moral of the story for Walz?
WALZ: …There's a very real chance had Amber Thurman lived in Minnesota, she would be alive today.
So is it true that pro-life laws prevent women from getting life-saving medical treatments…or is there more to the story?
Joining us now to talk about it is WORLD’s life beat reporter Leah Savas.
REICHARD: Leah, good morning.
LEAH SAVAS: Good morning, Mary.
REICHARD: Well, there are a lot of state laws, but let's just focus on Georgia to start with. What does the Georgia law prohibit?
SAVAS: So the Georgia law protects babies from abortion once they have detectable heartbeats, and it defines abortion as using a substance or instrument with the purpose of intentionally terminating a pregnancy knowing that it will likely cause the death of an unborn child. It also clarifies that removing an unborn child who died in a miscarriage, or an unborn child who implanted outside of the womb in an ectopic pregnancy, is not an abortion. It also allows for abortion in medical emergencies, which it defines, as you know, when the life of the mother is at risk or if she faces potential physical impairment of a major bodily function.
REICHARD: So that's the law, but we know that as of Monday, that law is no longer enforceable because a state court judge ruled it was unconstitutional. But even that's not the final word, because the state is appealing it to the state Supreme Court.
But you know, Governor Walz was pretty vague as to how Amber Thurman actually died. Can you tell us more background about her?
SAVAS: Yeah, so the details that Governor Walz gave were actually just inaccurate altogether. He talked about her as if she had died on the trip back from getting an abortion in North Carolina. But the reality is that she went to North Carolina, ended up getting the abortion drug, so the drugs involved in chemical abortion, she took the first one in North Carolina and then the second one back in Georgia. When she had returned after taking those drugs, she experienced complications because the drugs were unsuccessful at removing all of the parts of the pregnancy. So whether it was body parts of the babies or other pregnancy tissue, the chemicals had not actually removed all of that, so she ended up having major complications.
She had sepsis and went to the hospital, and normally, doctors would be performing a D&C to remove the remaining pregnancy tissue, but for whatever reason, the hospital did not take that step. They kept delaying and delaying offering her a D&C. She eventually died during surgery. So the ProPublica article says that that procedure specifically was illegal in Georgia, when in reality, it was just illegal to use that procedure if you're using it to kill a child in the womb. And the article claims that her death really came down to the pro-life laws in the state. But in reality, we don't know what was going through the doctor's minds at the time. We don't know why they delayed giving her a D&C. Now, supposedly, the babies were already dead because of the abortion drugs. That's why pro-life groups are pointing out that what really killed Amber Thurman was complications from a chemical abortion, and sepsis is a known complication.
REICHARD: And that's what actually killed her. Okay, well, you have interviewed several OB-GYNs for your reporting. What have they told you about how state laws affect their work?
SAVAS: Yeah, so doctors in other pro-life states that I've talked to, they tell me that pro-life laws have not changed how they practice. They still can treat miscarriages as before, using both D&Cs and also even the drugs used in chemical abortions. And they say that they are not afraid of prosecution because they understand that the laws allow for that. There is one OB-GYN I spoke with who's in Kansas. His name is Dr Jonathan Scrafford. He made this observation.
DR. SCRAFFORD: Where are the examples of people who did give appropriate medical care and then were convicted? Or their lives were ruined, they went bankrupt, they lost their job because of these things? There has to be some burden of proof at some point about these concerns."
Now, he operates under very permissive abortion laws in Kansas, but he's at a pro-life Catholic hospital that prohibits elective abortions. He said he still performs D&Cs on miscarriages regularly, and he's never faced pushback from the hospital. He said that there could be other factors at play in these stories of doctors in pro-life states being hesitant to perform D&Cs, and he thinks often it probably has nothing to do with politics or the state's abortion laws. Here's another comment from him.
DR. SCRAFFORD: Sometimes we see a lack of an intervention and and we immediately attribute it to it must have been because of fear of political consequence, whereas, as a physician, I know that most of the time that an intervention is not performed, it's because the physician didn't think it was medically appropriate.
And in Amber Thurman's case, specifically, the ProPublica article points out that her blood pressure was really low when she first got to the hospital, and that doctors gave her blood pressure medication to help it increase. So Dr Scrafford says it's possible that they didn't want to do a D&C on her right away, because since she had such low blood pressure, she could die during the process, so they wanted to wait until they could get that back up. So who knows, but there could be other explanations.
REICHARD: Leah, before we go, I'm wondering, do you have any takeaways from the vice presidential debate and how Senator JD Vance presented the pro life position?
SAVAS: Yeah, so he did a good job showing compassion for women facing unplanned pregnancies, and pointing out how radical the Democratic Party is on abortion. But I wish he would have humanized unborn babies more. I wish he would have given attention to babies throughout pregnancy, and not just in in later in pregnancy, you know, in later abortions, or babies born alive and botched abortions. He also could have done a better job actually responding to the inaccurate representation of Amber Thurman's story and of the Georgia law. There was a lot of things missing in that conversation, a lot of opportunities that he had to say what the Georgia law actually calls for and what it prohibits, and he didn't. He just, he just didn't do that. So I think that was a missed opportunity.
REICHARD: Leah Savas reports on abortion and life issues for WORLD. Leah, thank you for this report.
SAVAS: Thanks for having me.
MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Coming up next on The World and Everything in It:
Israel goes to war again.
Israel now has troops rolling into southern Lebanon for the first time in nearly 20 years. This mobilization comes after nearly a year of the terror group Hezbollah firing rockets into Northern Israel. The Israeli government evacuated civilians from the region, but largely held off from going after Hezbollah.
MARY REICHARD, HOST: That changed late last month, when Israel staged a series of attacks to take out Hezbollah’s communication networks and leaders.
NASRALLAH: (Speaking in Arabic)
BROWN: Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah heard there, promising retribution. One week later, Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
AUDIO: AIR RAID SIRENS
REICHARD: This week, Hezbollah’s patron Iran responded with a barrage of nearly 200 ballistic missiles. Israel and its Western allies repelled most of them, but not all.
The question now is what’s next?
DANIEL GORDIS: What to do is far from clear.
Daniel Gordis is an historian and Koret distinguished scholar at Shalem College in Jerusalem. He told WORLD’s Harrison Watters that hours before Iran launched missiles at Israel, the Israeli Defense Force made a stunning announcement.
GORDIS: The IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari showed videos of the tunnels that IDF special ops forces have been uncovering in Lebanon over the past six weeks or so.
BROWN: Special forces infiltrated hundreds of tunnels and bunkers in Southern Lebanon…where Hezbollah stored incredible amounts of weapons and ammunition.
GORDIS: But more chillingly, they also found maps of the Galilee pointing to where there are different Israeli settlements, you know, sort of small towns and villages where there are major traffic junctions and where the major highways go. This was clearly a preparation for an invasion of Israel's north.
The news that Israel could have been invaded from the south and the north last fall surprised many.
GORDIS: Nasrallah did not want to open up a full front with Israel, and Israel did not want to precipitate a war with Hezbollah… We probably will never know why he didn't attack on the 8th. Thank God he did not. So Israelis, on the one hand, are feeling Yeah, we gotta go. We gotta get this, this, this threat cannot—what normal country would allow this to develop on its border?
REICHARD: Gordis says that although Israelis are angry about the threat at their northern border, many are reluctant to support a full-scale response.
GORDIS: We've gone on into Lebanon twice before, and it has never worked out well. And each time, we've gone in deeper and longer than we thought we were going to.
In 1982, the IDF went into Lebanon to uproot the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The operation lasted three years before Israel pulled back its troops to a security zone in Southern Lebanon. The PLO was destroyed…leaving a power vacuum behind.
GORDIS: But the vacuum did not remain. The vacuum was replaced by Hezbollah. So you have the military unintended consequences, but you also have the geopolitical unintended consequences.
Israeli forces completely withdrew from the security zone in 2000. Six years later, Hezbollah fighters attacked an Israeli unit, killing three and kidnapping two. That sparked 33 days of fighting…ending in a UN brokered cease-fire. Many analysts consider it the first round of the Iran–Israel proxy war.
BROWN: This time, Lebanon is just one front in a much larger proxy war.
GORDIS: There are Hezbollah troops in Syria. There are Iranian troops in Iraq. There's obviously Iran itself. There's there's Yemen. This could very quickly become a regional thing, which we don't want it to become.
While the prospect of a larger war is fearful, Israelis have been encouraged to see the IDF’s strategic attacks in recent weeks.
GORDIS: If you look at the org chart of Hezbollah from a couple of weeks ago, with the exception of one guy from the first three rows, every single person has been taken out. So I think that there is a renewed confidence in the army.
REICHARD: For many Israelis, the widespread geopolitical questions are important…but there is a more personal and pressing question today.
GORDIS: So there's a lot of people trying to figure out, how are we going to actually worship on Rosh Hashanah, are we going to be able to get out of our houses?
Today is Rosh Hashanah…the Jewish new year. Nearly one year after the attacks by Hamas on October 7th, Israeli Jews don’t have the new beginnings they expected.
GORDIS: This was going to be the year that we were going to actually recover. We were deliberating, how much can we celebrate? Because even though it's been a terrible year and it's been a year of war and loss, we are in much better shape than we were on October 8 last year. We've rebuilt large parts of the country. We've rebuilt the army. We've come together in many ways.
BROWN: But with war ongoing in Gaza, a new front in Lebanon, and growing tensions with Iran, that spirit of celebration is all but gone.
GORDIS: And now we don't feel any more secure than we did on October 8th… It's a very sad way to have to usher in a new Hebrew Jewish year, but that's how we are, and we have to do the best we can.
MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Thursday, October 3rd.
Thank you for turning to WORLD Radio to help start your day.
Good morning. I’m Mary Reichard.
MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown.
Coming next on The World and Everything in It: Ukraine, with bitter winter on the way.
WORLD’s Anna Johansen Brown brings us the story of one family trying to plan ahead.
LIZA: Sometimes we are just waiting for some sirens, because we are like, okay, what are they doing right now? What are they preparing for us?
ANNA JOHANSEN BROWN: 18-year-old Liza lives in Kyiv, Ukraine. She’s a barista and a student. She spoke recently with WORLD’s Mary Muncy. We are only using Liza’s first name for safety concerns. Her father served in the Ukrainian military.
LIZA: Since the beginning of the war, I was already prepared with that, that okay with every day I can lost my father, like every day, you're living with this thoughts.
During the first few months of the war Liza waited every day for “the call.” But with each passing day she got used to the danger he faced.
LIZA: You're just thinking, ‘okay, so he'll go through that, he also stay alive with that, and everything will be okay.’
Then, about a month ago, Liza’s brother called her at work. Their father had been killed in action. He was attempting to get injured men out of occupied territory.
LIZA: There were Russians around them, and the Russians killed them… they were four in the car and like everyone died.
For about five minutes, she couldn’t speak. She couldn’t believe it. But there was no doubt when she saw her father’s body.
Since then, Liza has kept busy with work and her studies. Life is getting back to normal. But she worries as the weather turns colder.
LIZA: Even if Russia will not attack us this winter, we will still will not have enough power.
There were a few weeks last winter where Liza and her family only had power a few hours a day. It wasn’t enough time to even do the laundry. Anticipating a more challenging winter, Ukrainians are buying generators and stocking up on gas.
LIZA: I was talking to my friends, and everyone was telling, like it will be the hardest winter, like we ever had before.
Analysts like Dymtro Goriunov agree. He works with the Russia Will Pay project—tracking war damage in Ukraine. Mary Muncy asked him what makes this coming winter different than the previous ones.
GORIUNOV: In the first wave, mostly transmission capacity were targeted, which is like, well, it was bad enough, of course.
He says Russians are now targeting power generation capacities. Those are a lot more expensive and time consuming to repair than transmission capacities.
Goriunov estimates that Russia has destroyed more than 250-thousand Ukrainian buildings and that it would take nearly $160 billion dollars just to replace what they had—though rebuilding costs will be much higher.
GORIUNOV: Some assets that are well that outdated, and, you know, built like, 50 years ago.
He says in place of the outdated buildings, Ukrainians are hoping to build new, updated buildings—like schools and hospitals.
Ukranians are rebuilding…some…but they’re not publicizing how much, as they don’t want Russia to retarget those areas. Goriunov says that even if the war ended tomorrow there would be crippling bottlenecks in resources and personnel. It will take years to get close to the quality of life Ukrainians had before the war.
And then there’s the human loss. Many people haven’t been able to get an education, others have spent their time fighting instead of gaining experience in their field. And the horrors of war will haunt Ukrainians for generations.
MATVIICHUK: I think that we lose human dimension of this war in this sharp geopolitical debates about future of Russia.
Oleksandra Matviichuk is a human rights lawyer in Ukraine. She spoke with WORLD’s Leo Briceno while she was in Washington D.C. to meet with US lawmakers.
Matviichuk won the Nobel Prize in 2022 for exposing human rights abuses by Russia during the Ukraine war. She says things are especially bad in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
MATVIICHUK: People there live in grey zone. They have no tools how to defend their rights, their freedom, their property, their lives, their children, their beloved ones.
The human rights abuses Matviichuk investigates give real-life context to the larger, geopolitical struggle at play.
MATVIICHUK: When you tell human story you are being heard because people can understand the human pain regardless of nationality, citizenship, religion, ideologies, social status, and other kind of things. We are fighting for a freedom in all senses, for a freedom to be independent country, for a freedom to preserve our Ukrainian identity and for a freedom to have our democratic choice.
But in order to get there, Ukranians like Liza are going to have to survive the winter.
Last year, they had just enough power to keep one room in the house warm. Liza says she and her brother spent a lot of time together in that room.
LIZA: I don't know what I'm expecting from this winter. And like, you really don't know if Russia will attack us like tomorrow and tomorrow will be without power. So you never know when it will be.
Liza is already pulling out her sweaters and blankets…but she’s waiting a few more weeks before turning on the heat. And she hopes the power will last until at least March. She’s doing her best to prepare for the worst while staying positive.
LIZA: I'm just hoping. You know, hope will never die in my heart.
MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Today is Thursday, October 3rd. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Myrna Brown.
MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. Up next, WORLD commentator Cal Thomas says if Israel is going to engage Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, they need a clear path to victory. And the West needs to give them the space to accomplish it.
CAL THOMAS: The year was 1982. I was in Israel when the IDF crossed the Northern border to root out terrorist sanctuaries in southern Lebanon. The government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin called it “Operation Peace for Galilee.” The deputy press secretary invited me to accompany him into Lebanon.
We went through Tyre and Sidon to the outskirts of Beirut. I saw weapons provided by the Eastern European communist block stacked in parking garages, schools, hospitals and other civilian locations. Nothing has changed since then. The terrorists are called by different names, but they have the same goal. They want Israel to bomb those stockpiles, hoping civilians will be killed so Israel will be blamed for “targeting civilians.”
Forty-two years ago, Lebanese civilians cheered the IDF and offered free coffee and Lebanese flags to the troops, even to me. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is right to ignore the pleadings of President Biden for a cease fire and a “diplomatic solution.” He has heard that before and it only allowed Israel’s enemies to re-group for a future attack.
As former Israeli diplomat Yoram Ettinger writes in his newsletter that Israel must fight Hezbollah because it’s the world’s second largest exporter of “anti-US terrorism, drug trafficking, and money laundering—extending from the Middle East to the American continent.” He goes on to say that Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran’s Ayatollahs, that not only has carried out terror assaults on U.S. installations in the Middle East and beyond, but also collaborates with Latin and South America drug cartels—training terrorists on their way to the U.S. southern border…
So it’s not just in Israel’s interest that Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza be crushed, it is also in the interest of the United States, something too many administrations have ignored. Rather than support Israel’s right to victory over its enemies, those administrations, including the current one, continue with the false belief that terrorists can be appeased by giving them what they want. What they want – and openly say they want – is the eradication of the Jewish state after which they are coming after us, and as Ettinger notes, are already on the way.
In 2006, the UN passed Resolution 1701. Its purpose was to end that war between Israel and the terrorists in Lebanon who were then and are now in control of that country. As the Associated Press reported 18 years ago: under Resolution 1701 “Israeli forces would fully withdraw while the Lebanese army would be the exclusive armed presence south of Lebanon’s Litani River.” The goal was supposed to lead to long-term security, it did not. As with so much else in the region, the resolution eventually became hollow. Lebanon was once known as the “Switzerland of the Middle East.” Now it has been wracked by war and terrorism, fueled by Islamic fanaticism.
In war, victory should be the only goal, lest the war be prolonged and new ones started. It is worth noting two of the greatest statements about victory by two World War II leaders. In 1943, President Franklin Roosevelt said that war against Germany and Japan would not end until—in his words— “total victory” was achieved. The other leader is Winston Churchill. In his inaugural speech after becoming Britain’s war time leader, he said: “Victory at all costs, Victory in spite of all terror, Victory however long and hard the road may be.”
That now appears to be the goal of Prime Minister Netanyahu. It is the right one for Israel, the U.S., and the West.
I’m Cal Thomas.
