as a matter fact, a lot of what joe biden talked about in this address, they are already on track to do in california. governor gavin newsom and a democratic legislature is going to be implementing a lot of those based on the taxes of the wealthy. the trick is going to be them even more for the nation by keeping them in california where their money comes for us. >> that's a tricky tightrope to walk. we already see people in california leave for cheaper pastures and other places. phil, we heard the president talk about a lot of topics. he brought up george floyd. he talked about the john lewis voting rights act. he pledged support for transgender americans and even talked about ending cancer. very wide-ranging. that can be aspirational and inspiring, but realistically, what can we expect to change? >> reporter: let's not forget he also talked about gun- control. immigration reform. a host of issues. you know, it's a very tight, tight walk in washington these days. yes, the democrats control the house of representatives, but not all democrats are on board with the programs that the bid

where president joe biden has decided to withdraw all remaining american u.s. troops by september 11. u.s. officials say biden will announce the move on wednesday. around two and a half thousand u.s. troops are still in afghanistan after a peak of more than 100,000 in 2011. biden's decision would miss the may 1 deadline for the withdraw, agreed with the taliban by the trump administration. september 11 this year is the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by al qaeda, which led to the u.s. invasion of afghanistan and america's longest war. the afghan government says it respects any u.s. troops decisions, stating the forces have conducted close to 98% of operations independently. it has also been announced that turkey will host a high-level peace summit in istanbul as a way to jumpstart efforts to end the war. the taliban said it won't be taking part. >> the conference will focus on helping the negotiating parties reach a new set of shared fundamental principles that reflect an agreed vision for a future afghanistan, a roadmap to a future political segment, and

anchor: joe biden gave the press conference an hour ago. he mentioned ukraine. russia is massing troops at the border. how much of a red line would that be for the u.s. if we did see some kind of russian invasion of ukraine? reporter: that is something security experts are saying would be likely seen as a redline, that the sanctions would be more severe, and perhaps more actions would be taken, and certainly president biden has left open the possibility of escalating these sanctions further, if russia were to continue in what he calls its maligned activities towards the u.s., these cyber attacks, and certainly, if there was a another invasion in ukraine, the u.s. has left open the possibility of escalating sanctions further. anchor: the latest from washington, thank you. the senior fellow at one institute and the former special assistant to president ronald reagan says he believes president biden's response has been strategic. >> i believe he did two things very well. the first was to talk to vladimir putin before imposing the sanctions, so he established some p

april the 14th is when joe biden announced that all u.s. troops would be out of afghanistan by september. that will mark 20 years since they moved in after the attacks on 9/11 here in the united states in new york and washington. trump administration said it was intending to pull troops out by may, that timeline has been pushed back by joe biden while talks continue to be broken -- brokered with the taliban and other representatives of the afghan government. we heard from the chairman democrat on the committee, he was worried that there was still some form of anti-terrorism operation available to the united states in the area. people have been talking about setting up some kind of base in india. he also said it was important not to take their eyes off afghanistan after withdrawal. many believe that after the russians left, the u.s. did not want to put any more money into afghanistan and that led to the rise of the taliban and the rise of osama bin laden. the republican leader on the committee said this was simply a mistake, he thought in a

joe biden is marking 100 days in office as president of the united states. biden celebrated by taking a flower for his wife, jill, as they crossed the white house lawn to catch his official helicopter. they were heading to georgia, where he is about to address a drive-in rally of supporters. earlier, they met the oldest former living president, jimmy carter. on wednesday, biden addressed congress with what he called his "blueprint to build america," promising $1.8 trillion investment in jobs, infrastructure, and education. last year on the campaign trail, joe biden made many promises about what he would deliver in his early days in the white house. there are others which are compromised or even abandoned. alan fisher reports now on bidens broken promises. alan: they are the things people remember of campaigns -- >> i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but unify. alan: the promises, the pledges, that thinks that make a difference. 100 days in, joe biden has failed to deliver in the few key areas. >> people forget there's not a lot of legislatin

biden, look at me, talk to me. despite the diplomatic tit—for—tat that we have been seeing here, us sanctions against russia and russian sanctions against the us, talks and the possibility of a summit, there is a possibility but for that to happen, there must be an escalation in tension and the concern is that in europe, nato and america, russia's actions are destabilising the situation. steve rosenberg reporting. meanwhile, escalating tensions between ukraine and russia have been the focus of international talks between ukraine's president and the leaders of france and germany. volodymyr zelensky has been anxious to increase international support following the recent build—up of russian troops along ukraine's eastern border and in crimea. there have been tensions between russia and ukraine ever since russia annexed crimea in april 2014, and russian—backed forces seized a large swathe of eastern ukraine's donetsk and luhansk regions — coloured in turquoise here. a ceasefire was negotiated in 2015, but it

joe biden has held his first face—to—face meeting with a foreign leader at the white house. the us president and japan's prime minister, yoshihide suga, agreed they would work closely to develop new technologies, including artificial intelligence and sg, within norms "set by democracies not autocracies". those technologies are government by shared democratic norms that we both share. norm said by democracy is not autocracies. —— norms set by. we will work together to provide security five jet networks, to increasing our cooperation and supply chain for critical sectors like semiconductors, to driving research in areas like aia, genomics, quantum computing and much more. —— aia. i'm nowjoined by professor amy catalinac, who's an expert in contemporary japanese politics, in the department of politics at new york university. thank you for coming on the programme. i was a significant moment, the first foreign leader the us decides to visit and meet face—to—face. why do you thinkjapan was chosen? that is a great question. i think often us president select japan among

tell us more about that message you want to deliver, especially given the summit led by joe biden you are taking part in. hello, thank you very much. today, it is really very much an important date because it is not only earth day, but for me as an indigenous person, every day in these communities, we must protect it. but it is important because for years, they wanted us all to come together and get a concrete action. i'm not looking for the talks, i am looking for the action that they take. and it is very important also because this year, we are going to have three environmental conferences. and with covid, our health is so impacted because we are not taking care of nature. so that is way it is calling everyone to come back and bring everybody together and we can act only if we come together. meriem, in paris, from unesco's perspective, what do you hope can be achieved at this virtual summit today? achieved at this virtual summit toda ? ~ ~ , , today? well, i think it is very important — today? well, i think it is very important to _ today? well, i think it is very important to kno

nevertheless, joe biden by using this language twice, calling it a genocide twice in his statement on armenian remembrance day is a huge departure for any us president. he is the first us president to use the term and officially acknowledged that the events of 1915 where in fact i genocide. 0ur correspondent in washington. 0ur correspondent in washington. the indonesian navy says a submarine that went missing with 53 sailors on board has sunk — and that debris from the vessel has been found. it follows an extensive search of an area north of bali, where the vessel went missing earlier this week. here's richard galpin. this submarine, the nanggala 402, disappeared four days ago. on board, 53 crew members taking part in a torpedo exercise off the coast of bali. contact was lost after the crew asked for permission to dive. a major operation to find the stricken submarine was launched, with malaysia and australian ships amongst those helping. today it became clear all was lost. the indonesian navy chief yudo margono told a news conference the submarine had sunk 850 metres down from the

the us president, joe biden, is preparing to mark 100 days in office with his first speech to a joint session of congress. he'll call for ambitious changes to the social benefits system, including free pre—school, paid family leave and free community college. britain's electoral commission has launched a formal investigation into how prime minister borisjohnson paid for the refurbishment of his downing street flat. there is growing evidence that the official death toll in india's covid crisis is a massive underestimate. the number of reported deaths is nearly 200,000, but crematorium figures show that number could be twice as high. the apollo 11 astronaut michael collins has died at the age of 90. he orbited the moon in the command module as his crewmates neil armstrong and buzz aldrin walked on the surface in 1969.

joe biden also made a plea with lawmakers to work together to get things done. let's agree on what we can, he told them. fine words, but in divided america they're likely to fall on deaf ears. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. we can cross live to georgia and our correspondent at the rally larry madowo. larry, the president marks 100 days in office, and also trying to sell this for trillion dollar plan to the american people. i gather he has just arrived there where you are. he has just arrived there where you are. he: hasjust arrived. just arrived there where you are. he hasjust arrived. you should be has just arrived. you should be speaking any moment now. here outside where he is speaking at the drive—in rally, there are supporters of the former president to her here to express their displeasure. they have signs, one of them says biden lied and jobs died. another says thanks for nothing, biden. that's the opposition he is facing. they are not onboard with this plan. the white house and biden team are hoping that his plan is much more popular with the rest of

biden's election victory. this time, however, the capitol building was quiet. congress is on easter recess and most of its politicians are out of town. the suspect has been named as 25—year—old noah greene, an african—american who described himself on social media as a follower of the black nationalist group nation of islam. officials say they have yet to establish a motive for the attack. it came only days after officials started removing a fence put in place following the uprising in january. a week ago, the driver would not have been able to get as close to the building as he did. there had also been talk of reducing the thousands of national guard officers who were drafted in, some of whom found themselves deployed once again. lawmakers will have to decide whether they remain, and whether the fences should go back up. but as flags at the white house were lowered, some were posing a broader question — how to maintain an open democracy when so many people seem to want to cause it harm. david willis,

moments that biden himself had on the debate stage when trump said your son is a crack addict, joe biden turned it into a moment to talk about addiction, it one a lot of credit for honestly confronting the struggle his son had a giving a platform to the millions of people and families that struggle with addiction. tyler, does seem inconceivable that he did not see how difficult his involvement in ukraine might be.- difficult his involvement in ukraine might be. yeah, that's something. — ukraine might be. yeah, that's something, as _ ukraine might be. yeah, that's something, as you _ ukraine might be. yeah, that's something, as you played i ukraine might be. yeah, that's something, as you played it i ukraine might be. yeah, that's something, as you played it in| something, as you played it in that clip about him staying in hindsight i should have seen, i think what he writes about in the book is that he didn't see how politicised he would be as an individual. there has often been an unwritten rule in politics about not going after politicians' families and their children. 0bviously he i

it's difficult because - joe biden was part of the obama joe biden was part of the obama administration where there was this desire to build consensus with the republicans. john weiner, the house leader there was saying they didn�*t realise what a clown car, as he put it, he was trying to drive because so many of his republican colleagues were determined never to compromise with obama because they thought that was wrong in principle. in a sense, the dilemma president obama faced is still there for president biden. ~ ., , president biden. well, that is what progressives _ president biden. well, that is what progressives within - president biden. well, that is what progressives within his i what progressives within his party are saying. they say the republicans didn�*t play fair then, they won�*t play fair now, so why should democrats make any concessions? joe biden did come into the presidency saying he wanted to work in a bipartisan way, and he does seem to want to continue that. we know he�*s continuing to hold bipartisan meeting groups of lawmakers after he makes this speech,

joe biden is the oldest president. somebody that old will never have taken this step before and also he will be flanked by two women for the first time. and of course, this is against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic and the insurrection that took place here just a few months ago. so all of those things will make up part of his speech. you will see them woven through. i think the message that he wants to get across is america is back, america is going to go from really crisis to opportunity. find going to go from really crisis to opportunity-— to opportunity. and when it comes to — to opportunity. and when it comes to the _ to opportunity. and when it comes to the figures, - to opportunity. and when it comes to the figures, they| to opportunity. and when it i comes to the figures, they are absolutely huge, as he touched upon. $1.8 trillion plan. republicans already questioning how americans can afford it. yes. some of the funding will come from the proposals, from increases to corporate tax and other fundi

who knows more about russia, and russian president vladimir putin then joe biden. i believe these sanctions imposed on russia are appropriate, and i also know as the president said, the u.s. once a stable relationship with russia. i think we need a functional relationship with russia but russia does not really want conflict with the united states, and i believe there is discussion about with the imposition of the sanctions whether president putin would still want to meet with the u.s. president? of course he would, because it is to his benefit, but when we look at cyber attacks, potential interference in our election, i believe the economic sanctions and removal of the diplomats who were basically russian spies is an appropriate response. anchor: congresswoman, you sit on the intelligence committee. you are privy to information about what is happening internally and russia. these sanctions targeting ability of russia to borrow money. is that something you think could change the behavior of president putin potentially? >> i certainly think the aggression in crime er

it will be interesting to see whether the carrot and stick approach of joe biden actually works. the stick, of course, is the sanctions announced yesterday. the carrot is the offer of a summit to vladimir putin, something he is very keen to determine up -- to turn up at, i think. will that carrot be enough? russia doesn't say it has any intention to invade ukraine. it says it haseen moving troops and has the right to build up troops on russian territory. of course, russia's actions have been making europe nervous, american nervous, nato nervous, including russia's decision to restrict access to parts of the black sea for the next few months. >> that expulsion of u.s. diplomats by the kremlin today is being seen in washington is relatively proportionate -- as relatively proportionate. is that the view from moscow? >> i think so. we were expecting that. the kremlin says it acts according to reciprocity. america expels 10 russians, russia expels 10 americans, and eight u.s. officials. the russians have recommended the u.s. ambassador pop home for consultations. it is not an expulsio

president joe biden has promised india emergency assistance as the country struggles with a new wave of covid infections and fatalities. during a call with prime minister modi, mr. biden pledged his support. the u.s. has also said it will start sharing its stockpile of astrazeneca vaccines with other countries, but it is not clear how many would go to india and when they will be released. a catastrophic surge is happening in the country right now. here is the bbc's correspondent. >> it has come to this. a hired van now a makeshift ambulance. with no doctors available, he is doing all he can to save his aunt himself. india's health care system crumbles and people are left to fend for themselves. in delhi, he waits outside the hospital with his relatives. we have been to a few, but they won't admit him, he says. we are standing here without oxygen in the middle-of-the-road without any hope. hope is in short supply, but some help is on its way. ventilators a oxygen concentrators from the u.k. government are due to land in delhi tonight. even regional rivals pakistan and china have put a

president joe biden has formally announced the withdrawal of u.s. troops from afghanistan on september 11 of this year. ♪ last week, the european medicines regulator, the ema, announced a possible link between the astrazeneca jab and rare blood clots but said the risk of dying from the virus was much greater. today, denmark can the first country in europe to stop using the vaccine entirely. let's look together at the statement from the danish health authority. they said, we have decided to continue the vaccination against covid-19 without the vaccine from astrazeneca. it did not rule of using the astrazeneca vaccine again at another te. denmark was the first of several eu countries to postpone use of the astrazeneca vaccine last month. most eu countries have no resumed vaccinations with astrazeneca, but mainly for their older populations. the ema says it is up to individual states to make her own risk assessments and decide how to administer the vaccine. here is denmark's national health board explaining. >> we have chosen to continue our vaccine

but joe biden's ambition goes well beyond roads and bridges. it is about welfare and the role of the state. republicans say he is more interested in social engineering than civil engineering. >> in congress he spelled out that he would have to foot the bill. those earning under $400,000 a year would be untouched. at the wealthiest would see taxes rise. >> it is time for corporate america and at the wealthiest 1% to begin to pay their fair share. just their fair share. [applause] you should be able to come a billionaire and a millionaire. but they are fresh air. >> the president wanted to turn a page, exalting americans to come together. folks, it is never -- it has never been a good bet to bet against america. it is still not. we are the united states of america. there is not a single thing, nothing beyond our capacity. >> joe biden made a plea with lawmakers to work together. let's agree on what we can, he told them. find words, but in divided america, likely to fall on deaf ears. jon sopel, bbc news washington. >> here on outside source we fo
