president joe biden and an invitation to world leaders to combat climate change collectively signs are on mistakes science is undeniable and the cost of an action which keeps mounting united states is awaiting where resolving to take action. biden announced the u.s. would cut fossil fuel emissions by up to 52 percent by 2030 the earth day pledge renews america's commitment following 4 years of inaction by predecessor donald trump it more than doubles america's target under the 2015 paris climate agreement that trump withdrew from and that biden rejoined when he took office. 40 world leaders participated including american adversaries russia and china china is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases president xi jinping pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by $26.00 to adding this jab at the united states china has committed to move from carbon peak to carbon neutrality in a much shorter time span than what might take many countries just weeks after the u.s. and russia leveled sanctions against one another ask elating tensions russian leader vladimir putin said he takes internat

president joe biden has formally recognized the mass killings of armenians under the ultimate empire during world war one as an act of genocide armenia's prime minister has welcomed the announcement but it was rejected by turkey's government which said it is not supported by any evidence. now reports and a warning some of the images are disturbing. it's a story more than 100 years old for turkey it's a chapter that's turned but for the united states and other members of the international community turkey must apologize for the events that started in 1915 that was when ottoman turks deported hundreds or thousands of armenians from eastern and atoll year to the syrian desert but what happened and how many were then killed remains disputed many historians say more than a 1000000 armenians lost their lives turkish officials deny any systematic killings took place saying it was a time of war and the death toll has been exaggerated turkey has always been angered by government describing the event that began in 1915 during the ottoman empire as a genocide the armenian genocide remembrance d

i know i'm maryam namazie and london with a quick look at our main stories now president joe biden has reportedly decided to withdraw all american troops from afghanistan by september 11th speaking anonymously u.s. officials have told the reuters news agency the decision will be announced formally on wednesday when it would miss the may 1st deadline for the withdrawal equate with the taliban by the trumpet ministration september the 11th this year is the 20th anniversary of the 911 attacks by al qaeda which that the u.s. invasion of afghanistan and america's longest war can really help it has more on this now from the white house. in terms of this withdrawal it has been a generation since that war began ad and as a result americans have grown weary in a pandemic they feel this is no longer a price tag couldn't they can afford and so 2 there are about 2500 remaining troops we know according to the white house that the pullout could begin right away but should be complete by september 11th of this year now we should also let you know that this is being criticized here in the united state

. ♪♪ ♪♪ >>> president joe biden is renewing calls for gun reform following the mass shooting at a fedex facility in indianapolis that left eight people dead. nbc's monica alba is joining us from wilmington, delaware. how is the president responding to this latest mass shooting? >> well, he's defending his position quite intensely, alex, saying there's only so much i can do, urging congress to act. he wants lawmakers to consider these bills on gun safety that have passed the house, but are currently stalled in the senate, and he also outlined some of the executive action that he took just a couple of weeks ago saying he has tasked his department of justice and his attorney general with trying to do more and they're currently in the midst of reviewing these rules and regulations on ghost guns, for example, but you really heard the president here quite impassioned and quite outraged at what we've seen from the string of latest mass shootings in the country when he did speak in the rose garden yesterday. take a listen. >> immediately upon us becoming an office having an attorney general i a

that's what joe biden said he was going to do to more than 62,000. and now he's saying that's not going to be possible in the short term. we got a sense from the national security adviser, jake sullivan, who was on the sunday shows this morning really trying to defend the administration's bungled rollout of this policy by trying to push back on the criticism that this was a reversal. take a listen. >> the president wanted to go with this in two steps. the first step was to change the allocation so people in africa could literally get on planes this week. and the second would be to raise the cap as we were fixing the system in its processing. he took the first step this past week. he will take the second step in the weeks ahead. and i think there was some misunderstanding on friday about the import of his decision friday morning, which was focused on the allocation, not on the cap. >> so the white house is arguing because the process is ongoing, there is still time essentially for the president to make this right, but a lot of democrats and groups hav

would there ever be real trust between joe biden and vladimir putin? and when it comes to holding vladimir putin accountable if navalny dies, it would seem that accountable has eluded vladimir putin in the past. is there anything that conceivably could be done to vladimir putin to hold him accountable in the world's eyes if alexei navalny dies? >> it's hard to see what that would be, that at least the united states would be willing to do. america, under presidents obama and trump, have from time to time imposed sanctions or expelled diplomats but have held back from pulling the trigger on truly punitive economic actions that would genuinely get his attention. they have not done things to expose his sources of his own personal wealth, something people talked about doing but not really followed up on. there's a lot of things america has not done in the interests of not escalating, as president biden put it. the question is how far can you go to get his attention without escalating it into a conflict you don't want. can you find ways to work with russia?

biden and the senate race won by democrat mark kelly. election officials have found no evidence whatsoever of widespread voter fraud. >>> and breaking news out of washington, d.c., president biden today became the first u.s. president to formally acknowledge the killing of more than a million armenians. >>> breaking right now in a historic statement, the president has officially recognized that genocide. let's go to monica alba in washington, d.c. monica, welcome. let's talk about what the president's saying about this today and the significance of it. it's a big deal. >> reporter: absolutely, alex, and that's really because every u.s. leader before him had failed to get to this level. many had acknowledged the violence, the deaths of more than 1 million armenians killed more than a century ago in what is now modern day turkey, but they hadn't gone so far as to label it a genocide over a diplomatic fear and concern, potentially, of angering turkey, that partner in the region and of course within nato. but president biden made good on a c

you know joe biden. is this the same joe biden that you knew back in the obama administration? >> yeah, absolutely, alex. i mean, i think the decision that he made recently on afghanistan, again, echoed a lot of what i heard sitting in meetings in the situation room in late 2009 around that issue. i think in many ways he's very much the same person that i knew back then. i will say i think that if you look at some of what is happening around infrastructure and climate change, i think it's also a president that realizes that a lot of these problems have lingered far too long, and they're not going to get better if we keep kicking the can down the road. and i think you've seen really bold infrastructure plans, big plans around cutting emissions that contribute to climate change because he understands, quite frankly, we don't have four or six or eight years to waste on this topic. so, i think both he's steady in what he's believed, and i think as the vice president said, he's using that experience, but i also think he understands the moment in time that he sits in that oval office

stood out to me, percentage of republicans say they disapprove of joe biden's presidency so far. a lot higher than the percentage of democrat whose said it for president donald trump and republican whose said it about former president obama. that tells you a lot where our country is at this particular moment. and the challenge that president joe biden faces in the next 100 days of his presidency where arguably he'll have to face some of these other challenges on issues like immigration, on guns, i'm sure we'll get to in a minute. >> a very united country for sure. ununited country. michael, from a historical perspective, give me a sense how important the first 100 days are as a measure and how does president biden stack up in your mind? >> well, it's not a bad measure, alex. i thought francesca said it well. you know, the thing is that this all comes from early 1933 as you know when franklin roosevelt came in and did a lot of things like, you know, saving the banks and getting people relief and doing things to relieve the suffering of the great depression, and about 100 days in,

joe biden has a majority of support of the american people. he's over 50%, ten points higher than donald trump, but lower historically than his democratic predecessors at this point. two things jump out to me as questions. one, is this just the new normal we live in, the partisan divide, where we're never going to return to seeing 60% numbers for a president in 100 days? that might be the case. the second, though, is the poll that shows over 40% think that joe biden is too liberal and in fact more liberal than barack obama and bill clinton. if that didn't already exist, certainly the right wing news media and republicans are going to make that exist. but that's an interesting thing for the biden administration to keep an eye on, whether he's going to be branded as kind of the bipartisan unifier or if his opponents will successfully brand him as a liberal. >> you make a good point there. relative to the president's infrastructure plan, you've got 59% saying it's a good idea, 21% disagree, 19% don't have an opinion. susan, we saw this with covid
