biden about harris for not coming down here and there's a lot of consciousness and awareness that joe biden i'm going to last for a very long time took a great deal of credit for giving huge amounts of money to the police for the cost of the state would boast about their law and order records so they always say look you should come down here make up for that now they're more what was the term they used to be a lip service to be on the having more relatives cry on your shoulder about you know that empathetic president that we have now joe biden and i actually do something and start actually coming here and that even if the shaving about it was read to me you know the fatal shooting of a black woman what more do we know about that case we know those details actually as the just a half an hour before the verdict was was announced apparently the shooting happened and now a new feature actually i suppose of police shootings the body count video was released rapidly clearly there's a real awareness now from police or police forces about what they have to do i think one of the reasons was th

using a lot of language tht joe biden use deas, hamiltonian nationalist language. i think the whig party did a lot of good for this country and that's why i have faith in what biden is doing. >> woodruff: jonathan. >> capehart: judy i think the first wheuj days have been a success, the next 50 to 100 days could be a second. but whether the rest of the term is a success really depends on the republicans and how much they want to actually work with president biden to actually solve problems. there's too much of a competition mindset here in washington that, to do something to allow president biden to actually sign legislation into law is a victory for him and a loss for us. meaning republicans. as opposed to a victory for the country. the other thing is, what will determine whether president biden is a success is whether republicans decide to come to the table with real ideas. actual ideas that they can debate and discuss with the president, and compromise with the president to actually get something done. >> woodruff: zero sum game or something where the o sides can

biden has issued a statement describing gun violence as a stain on the country as kristen salumi reports. another corner of america the scene of yet another mass shooting this time at a fed ex facility in indianapolis a gunman opening fire late on thursday night killing workers outside in the car park before going inside to kill others and then himself by friday morning police were still trying to piece together the motives of the gunmen details remain scarce he got out of his car and pretty quickly started so. random shooting outside the facility there was no confrontation with anyone that was there there was no disturbance there was no argument he just appeared to randomly start shooting and that began in the parking lot and then he did go into the building into the facility for a brief period of time the f.b.i. later revealed that the gunman a 19 year old former employee was interviewed in april last year after his mother became worried about his mental health however he was later released overnight workers families gathered at a nearby hotel and waited to be reunited with relatives o

biden held a phone call with vladimir putin where the to discuss the ongoing challenges to the united states russia relationship and both pledging that they wanted to move forward and work through some of those differences so it is surprising to see these sanctions so quickly after that call but the reason the united states says that it's doing this is in retaliation for the attack on the source solar winds hack as it's called penetration by the russians allegedly on a number of u.s. government agencies and their computer systems also for the ongoing occupation of crimea by russia and as well for the alleged bounties that were paid on u.s. soldiers heads for their fighting in afghanistan no again russia denies all of these charges being leveled by the united states one more i should point out that is election meddling and add that to the list but again the reason for all of this is that the united states says that it will always defend its interests. let's hear from ben smith who is in moscow with more. the u.s. has a long list of complaints against russia from interference in preside

today president joe biden kept a campaign promise and formally recognized the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million armenians more than a century ago as genocide. he is the first u.s. president to use that term for the killings and mass deportations that occurred during the ottoman empire in what is now turkey. the president issued a statement shortly after arriving in delaware for a weekend at his home. he said “each year on this day, we remember the lives of all those who died in the ottoman- era armenian genocide, and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring.” the u.s. has avoided use of the term, and turkey-- a nato ally-- claims the killings happened during civil war. in armenia today, the prime minister and government officials marked genocide remembrance day at a ceremony at the country's memorial to the 1.5 million who died. armenia says the killings began on april 24, 1915 and continued until 1923. for more on the significance of president biden's statement, i spoke with alex hinton, director of rutgers university's center for the study of

i think joe biden is surprising some of the skeptics who did not think he would lead on the issue of climate change or were skeptical he would show the sort of bold leadership necessary, but here we have the united states laying down the gauntlet for other countries, a commitment to lower carbon emissions by a factor of two within the next 10 years. it is doable and essential if we are to avoid the catastrophic warming of the planet where we will start to see some of the worst impacts of climate change. that is what we've got to do globally. the united states is setting an example for other countries to follow. judy:judy: let me read for you what "the new york times" is reporting what would be required to meet the president's goal of cutting emissions in half. more than half of all new cars and suvs would have to be powered by electricity, not gasoline. nearly all coal-flowered -- coal-fired power plants would need to be shut down forests would need to be expanded, and the number of wind turbines and solar panels would have to be quadrupled. michael: nothing that is worth doing is ea

well you can hear the helicopters arriving to take joe biden off for the easter weekend holiday here in the united states he has been speaking in the last 20 minutes but didn't make any comment about the latest developments on iran you remember that when he was running for president he said that he was going to enter back into the iran nuclear deal and we know that there have been talks over the last couple of months between the u.s. and the iranians but there could never be sequencing agreed to get the iranians to pare back on richmond of the your rhenium and there was no agreement for the u.s. to lift the sanctions that were put in place when donald trump drew the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal but like me 2018 so where are we now well there's been talks between intermediaries a say and they never quite got close to having talks but now it's been agreed that in vienna next week there will be talks at official level no someone close to one of the senior diplomat at the u.n. said that the situation is very fluid at the state department in a statement just in the last couple of hou
