Israel els rightwing government added to its power.

Benjamin etna hoo's coalition did that by removing a check on its actions. How does the opposition respond to the right?

We move against the supreme court. A father. And this is up first from npr news. A climate scientist finds this fact so obvious. It's a little boring.

The more heat that we put into our atmosphere, you will translate into bigger heat events.

Scientists find no mystery in the summers s record breaking heat wave. How can people respond? The heat also .

emit till would have been eighty two years old today had he survived a mobile attack in one thousand nine hundred and fifty five. His murder became a symbol for the civil rights movement.

Israeli woke up today to their three largest newspapers Carrying a black .

front page. The black pages were ads that protesters took out, calling IT a dark day for democracy. And israel define more than six months of street protests.

The government passed a law limiting a check on its own power. Until now, the supreme court in israel had the right to reject some government actions, IT did not consider reasonable. So what happens now that the connector stripped that power away?

Npr, Daniel astrium is in jerusalem, joins me now. Good morning, Daniel.

Hi.

good morning. So what do things look like today? In israel?

Doctors are on strike today protesting the law. Hospitals are Operating unlimited schedule and israeli prime minister Benjamin at on yahoo was on TV last night saying he was extending a hand to the opposition and at the very same time, police trucks were spring water on protesters who were blocking major roads for hours.

Are there were some injuries and also on on live TV, we saw in part a right wing minister brush off a plea for compromise on the law, while in the tana who SAT next to that minister and was just still faced and say anything. And commentators today are calling that a symbol that in on yahoo, they say, isn't the one in the driver seat here is his far right cabinet minister is driving this new law. And one of them said, quote, this is just the beginning.

This is just the beginning. okay? So for israel's government, let's take a road look at this. How might the government uses law to advance its wider goals?

But with this law, as Steve said, the supreme court can no longer use the clause of reasonably to block the hiring and firing of officials. And legal experts are concerned that the israeli government could use this to replace professional watchdog officials throughout the civil service with yes men, yes people, for the alternative alist government. And that could help them river stamp, discriminate tory policies against palestinians.

Just foreign example. One palestinian lawyer told me about a case where the supreme court in the past blocked israel from building its west bank separation berrier right through the middle of palestinian village, and the court said that was unreasonable, and now the court won't be able to do that. Now the experts say that there are still other legal principles the court can take in is road to protect palestinian rights, but advocates say this law is it's a bigger picture here. It's a first step in a wider move to change democratic institutions to further target palestinian rights and other things that an alternative st government doesn't like. For instance, the justice minister recently raised the case of arab citizens moving into a jewish majority town as something that should be prevented.

Wow, what will you be looking at in the coming days and weeks?

While groups are already petitioning the supreme court chAllenging this law, the question is, will the supreme court intervened? IT never has intervened with the kind of law that was past. Yesterday is equivalent to and a constitutional amendment in israel. And also, defense experts are worried about the readiness of israel's military. Thousands of volunteer reserves are saying they will not serve now in protest, and there are many enemies on israel's border, including hezbollah leader husson azala, who said, this crisis in israel puts israel on the path of collapse, so israel is worried about its security right at this moment.

Piers, Daniel astro's injury lum, i'm sure we'll be hearing from you much more in the coming days. Thank you, Daniel.

You welcome.

North america, europe and asia have all been hit by sweltering temperatures this month.

triple digits in some cases, and life threatening heat waves, which raise the same question as they always do, is this climate change.

amp. er's. Nathan rodd is covering a new study out today that aims to address .

that question. Hi, night.

okay. So what does the study say? Well.

IT says, the recent heat waves in amErica and southern europe, which have broken records, you said, and put tens of millions of people under heat advisors and warnings, would be, quote, virtually impossible. And quote, without human cost, climate change. And that recent heat waves in china were made fifty times more likely .

because of IT. okay. So a definitive, yes. This is climate change.

yeah. Resulting, yes. I mean, this research was conducted by a team of international scientists working in a collaboration group called world weather attribution. We should say the study has not been p reviewed yet because it's what scientists called a rapid attribution study, which is kind of a growing field in climate science that aims to show the role climate change is playing in an extreme weather event as it's happening or soon after. Well, it's still on the public mind and being talked about on news, uh, and the researchers found that climate change has not only made these kinds of extreme heat waves more common, but it's also making them harder, he added lino and natural weather phenomenon is likely contributing to some of the heat, but the main driver, they say, is fossil fuels. Here's frederika auto, a climate scientist at imperial college london who was involved with the research when he was speaking at oppressive event yesterday.

It's a very boring study. Yes, from a scientific point of view, there is nothing new because we have known this for a long time and we see exactly what we expected to see.

Wow, SHE sounds annoyed, frustrated.

If you talk to climate scientists later, I know you do. Sometimes you will hear that a lot because this isn't new, right? Um I got pretty much the exact same reaction from other climate scientists and researchers I talked to yesterday who were not involved in this study but had reviewed its findings. Here's burning debt ds placque, the chief meteorologist to climate central and non profit climate science group.

Overall, IT is not surprising that there's a climate connection with the extreme heat that are seeing around the world right now. We know what adding more Greenhouse gases or atmosphere does, and we continue to add. We were them through the burning of fossil fields. So the more heat that we put into our atmosphere, he will translate into bigger heat events.

which is a really important thing to keep in mind later, because a lot of the heat records that were seen broken right now in europe, asia, america, they are probably going to be broken again in the years to come.

I mean, that's a scary thought. It's already so hot. What should people do?

The obvious big picture solution is to stop warming the planet, right? The international community has pledged to limit global warming increases to about two point seven degrees farenheit compared to what they were in preindustrial type. A lot of climate scientists think that goal is already out of reach.

The planet has already warmed nearly two degrees. Uh, but the science is overwhelmingly clear that the fewer fossil fuel emissions we put in the atmosphere means a more hospitable planet for humans and animals alike. Uh, the other thing that we can do is to look out for each other during a heat way. Public health officials have been urging people to chicken on their neighbors, especially elderly or immuno compromised people, as these hot temperatures continue.

Nathan rot is part of npr at climate desk. Thanks for your reporting.

yeah. Thank you later.

President biden will sign a declaration today making three sites a national monument for aml. And his mother made me tell mobile.

For decades, people have wanted to commemorate the lunching of the fourteen year old in one nine hundred and fifty .

five with us now to talk about these monuments and what they're hoping to convey. He's my a Miller. She's with a gold state news room, and she's with us now.

Good morning. Good night. So you tour a couple of these monuments, tell me about them.

So the first sight that I visit IT was called rebel landing um that's where imitations pulled out of the toller to river. What struck me there was the sign explaining what happened um it's bullet proof and that's because at least three previous science had been shut up and IT was just really quiet considering the violence of that place.

Um in mid till he was killed because he allegedly whistled at a White woman he was only fourteen when men knappe him from his family home and money mississippi and they took into a barn where they tortured and shot him and then throw him in that river. The other memorial site is the courthouse in some manner where the trial of two men to place they were found not guilty of murder by an aly o. Millerites. In that courthouse has been reconstructed to what IT looked like in one hundred and fifty five.

Now his death was such an important pivotal moment for the silver rights move in the third site for this monument designation is in chicago, and it's the church where his funeral was. If you could just remind us of the impact of that day because of the decision of his mother.

yeah. So that's the mini till mobile part of the memorial park is where his mother may I insisted on an open casket funeral, and he invited the press and everyone to come and see the violence that had happened to her son. And his body was on view, thousands of people came, and a photo was taken in publishing, jet magazine.

And IT really publicized the brutality of the gym. N rose south. This church is R.

T. A chicago landmark. So adding IT into the monument designation just sort of incense.

And so individuals and organza have pushed for a national monument to eat here for decades now. What are they hoping to accomplish with this designation? So having .

this designation means that the sites of federally protected. So there are more resources towards teaching what really happened. And there's this belief among those who have been really pushing on the designation that racial reconciliation begins with telling the truth. And I asked all spears who's been at this for a while. He's with the national park conservation association, what a national park means for in a till and many till mobile's legacy.

We say their names to make sure that we honour their lives and that we remember them. And as long as their names are spoken, they will never be forgotten.

And by never forgetting, they hope that this monument will provide what he calls narrative justice, since till couldn get justice while he was alive, and hopes that more people will engage with this story of immanent, who would have been eighty two years old today. It's his birthday.

He'd been allowed to live. Mia Miller is a mississippi based reporter with the gulf state's newsroom. Thanks for your reporting.
