just one final point in that news conference that joe biden just had president biden he also mentioned ukraine of course russia is amassing troops on the russian ukrainian border now ukraine is not a member of nato so the u.s. would have to be involved if it didn't have to you but how much all of an escalating factor do you think that could be anyone could joe biden make all these comments and then just stand by if russia does end up invading ukraine. well if russia invades ukraine i think all bets are off in terms of our relationship i don't think the us would go to war there is no nato commitment you know president biden would have to go to congress and try to explain to the american people why the u.s. is going to war with a nuclear power i think that's very unlikely and most european countries certainly don't want that either but it would require i think extraordinary can all make sanctions certainly would be no summit you know the u.s. and europe would have to respond in a fairly tough way so this is something which no one wants to happen most people believes that putin is posturi

joe biden has won the election he's going to be there for the next 4 years in iran there's a much closer deadline coming up so there is certainly a time pressure that's more on one side's than on the other is that going to impact will sort of outcomes we can expect in the coming days and weeks it's going to impact it but remember something in the reining in elections the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini basically gets to choose who gets to run a technically speaking the guardian council who plays the formal role in basically determining who gets to stand on the on the stage in the elections but you know it's the supreme leader who really calls the shots now as we've seen in recent days you know there's always been this hypothesis that there's going to be and i argee see your pasta run coup the presidency however. it caused a riot doesn't seem it will get its act together and in the past with the exception of general bacon all of these guys from the os to run have been abysmal candidates i mean you i mean you look at each one of the people. you know they've run before and they've only go

around the world we've had leaders in ukraine leaders in armenia united states we've had president joe biden and barack obama by sending their condolences so this is a figure of importance around the world there are plenty of people though in the united kingdom reader are indifferent to the monarchy or are opposed to it and for them there may be you know the younger generations or those who lean left on the political spectrum they might say well why does it matter to me it was a math my life what is the monarchy it's outdated it's not representative and i should give no more attention to the passing of prince philip than i would to any other 99 year old man but there are plenty of other people perhaps a majority who are more right leaning on the political spectrum perhaps older they will be affected by this they would have held him in high regard as a symbolic figure of the country and they will be sad and of course you have the views of the political establishment the governments and we heard those from boris johnson earlier on today prince philip the affection of generations here in

i don't think that is joe biden's intent, but those are the cards they have been dealt by the leaders in the house and senate. we can't automatically believe that the climate hysterics that many americans here in this country want to talk about -- we can't forget that america is the only industrialized country that would have met our paris climate accord emission control standards. we are leading the way in the united states, and for many in america in politics, to not give erica credit for what we ar doing to reduce our carbon footprint, and at the same time not crippling our economy, we've got to me sure we talk about what is good and what is happening positively along that front, not just doom and gloom. judy: as i said to secretary granholm, it is just the beginning of this debate, but i think everyone welcomes hearing both sides and welcomes knowing that the two sides are going to be talking to one another. congressman rodney davis, thank you very much. we appreciate it. even as the u.s. sets records for daily covid-19 vaccinations, disparities in it who is getting those vaccines

the joe biden white house confirmed talks will begin tuesday in vienna, austria. we will talk with the key u.s. figure on this issue later in the program. president biden has reaffirmed his support for ukraine, as russian forces massed on the eastern border. a white house statement says he spoke with ukraine's leader today and cited "russia's ongoing aggression." pro-russian rebels have been fighting ukrainian forces since 2014. in taiwan, at least 51 killed in more than 100 injured today was a train smashed into a truck that rolled onto the tracks. the train was coming out of a tunnel and passengers had to climb through windows and walk on the roof to get out. more than 400 people were on board. back in this country, mlb announced it is moving its all-star game out of georgia because of the state's new law adding restrictions on voting. the game had been scheduled for mid july just outside atlanta. the league it says it is looking for a new post city. a senior minneapolis police official testified today that derek chauvin no reason to kneel on george floyd's neck

i heard joe biden say when he became vice president, he did the same thing. but fritz mondale really deserves the cdit for elevating the vice presidency into a position where he could be far more useful to the president and, therefore, to the country as a whole. >> woodruff: how do you see his legacy overall? we know we've just aired some excerpts from his speeches over time. of course, the speech at the convention in 1984 where he spoke about raising taxes, but how do you see how he will be seen in history? >> well, he was a fighting for civil rights and was known for that. he was an environmentalist. he passed the wild and scenic rivers act in 1968, before the first earth day. he was a progressive on issue after issue. he was extremely intelligent, very focused, hard working. he was a great senator. he served with my father in the senate, and then he was a great ambassador during the clinton-gore years in japan. he was an absolutely excellent public servant in every way. >> woodruff: and choosing geraldine ferraro, the first woman to be nominated by a major

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

. >> woodruff: 100 days into his presidency, president joe biden has already faced historic challenges. last night in his first address to a joint session of congress, he laid out his plans for a new, sweeping tax and spending package, and his vision for america's place in the world. yamiche alcindor has our report. >> after just 100 days, i can report to the nation: america is on the move again. (applause) >> alcindor: a pandemic. an economic crisis. and a racially and politically divided country still reeling from the siege at the capitol. >> we're coming for you. >> alcindor: on inauguration day three months ago, those were the immense challengesacing the country, and president joe biden. though those challenges remain, since that day, there have been historic achievements, frustrating losses and promises still unfulfilled. >> because of you, the american people, our progress these past 100 days against one of the worst pandemics in history has been one of the greatest logistical achievements this country has ever seen. >> alcindor: in his first address to congress last night, biden

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

there has been very important news on this infrastructure and other plant senator joe mansion of west virginia -- senator mark warner, thought of as more as someone who would go along with the biden team more often, said he will not tell reporters what he thinks what does have concerns about the biden plan in general. this is a 50 senate majority and a need every senate democrat and there are two that have concerns. this will be a long slot to get -- along sl -- a long slog. judy: thank you to both of you for making it so much clearer. ♪ stephanie: good evening. we will return to judy and the full program after the latest headlines. california announced it will lift all its covid-19 restrictions june 15 if hospitalizations remain low and there's sufficient vaccine supply. but its mask mandate will remain in effect. meanwhile, indiana ended its statewide mask order, although businesses can still require customers to wear them. and a rare sight in arlington, texas last night. a sellout crowd packed in to watch the texas rangers home opener. the largest in-persoaudience for a major lea
