from the city of athens in georgia. thanks for your time. so this deal is $26000000000.00 deal. it's not done is that it's not a done deal. it's not even close to dine. in fact, really, this is just the beginning and the question remains guys. can these particular defendants get enough signed on from the states to make it worth their while? and i think we've already seen a couple of states who have announced that they are opting out, including the state of washington and the state of west virginia. the won't the incentive or the distance and to, for states to buy in or not. well, a lot of that remains to be seen. i think that they are going to announce the full settlement with all of its terms tonight. but i think that the basic ideas that you might get more money sooner if you have the greater buy in greater participation with all of the states particular localities. and that there might be certain penalties built. then if you continue to litigate johnson johnson stopped making opioids. what about the rest of those man

and texas isn't the only state where republicans are trying to bring in similar laws. others include georgia rezoning, florida, democrats, say proposals to limit floating rights will disproportionately affect minorities, usually vote. democrat. it was president, jo biden's called the fight of voting rights. the test of our time was from the white house correspondent, kimberly hallett us, president joe biden traveled to philadelphia the birthplace of american democracy to highlight what he says is an existential threat. we're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the civil war has not, i personally sense the civil war. the confederates back then never breached the capitol as insurrection listed on january, the 6th. ah, why didn't says american democracy is under assault by republicans who refused to accept the 2020 presidential election results and even tried to overturn it? the big lie is just that a big. why would you want to election? it's not, i probably suggest the most examine in the fullest expression on the will of the people in the history of this nation. when that

jennifer mccoy is professor of political science at georgia state university, and we appreciate your being on al jazeera mom. thank you very much indeed. thank you. he was, attorney general says 59 people who to part an anti government protests, have been prosecuted. their actions were described as disturbances and charges included public disorder and causing non serious injuries. rights groups say more than 600 people were detained during and since the july 11th demonstrations, that's when thousands of cubans took to the streets, demanding political change, and protesting against poor economic conditions. read lindsey, as a journalist based in cuba with the media, organization, belly of the beast. he says that the government is responding to criticism. the trials have not been fair. there was a pushback against what is really been the big story of the international news media. and definitely a been all of our social media in recent weeks, which is that number of people detain, which as you mentioned, may, may be over 600, according to les compile, by a list compiled by journalist an

state at the moment, and what in theory they could become well, it's not just taxes, it's the state of georgia, tara zone i. it's a handful, or actually it's more like a dozen republican lead states that are making changes because they allege that there was widespread voter fraud in 2020 and they want to clap down. in other words, make it harder to vote, democrat se, and the concern for democrats is that this will disproportionately hurt voters of color. and so this is something that for weeks, even months, they've been pressuring joe biden on saying, look, we helped you get elected. i'm talking about democrats and talked about voters of color who really delivered at the ballot box for joe biden. and they said, now you're just gonna sit here. well, all of these concert of lead governments around the country put in these restrictions to make it harder for us to bow. we need you to do something. so joe biden is coming to philadelphia, in fact, he's on the ground now to do something. what this is, is the birthplace of american democracy. in fact, behind me is independence hall. that is where the

the slightest discovery here it is on the map pen like islands in the georgia straight between vancouver island and mainland british columbia. will joining us on zoom from victoria british columbia is steve sweet old who is a freelance journalist, a member of dependent loc drive, but he also attended that very school on cooper island that we just told you about steve, did you almost feel that this was going to happen with all the discoveries awful discoveries that have been made in the past few months that it was only a matter of time until the school you went to would be in the news as well. yes, definitely we. i felt that from the personnel that we had last month from kamloops and onwards, multiple announcements. so the last month plus we use, i knew deep down there would be an announcement coming from my home territory in regards to on mark rates. i think in my personal opinion, with over a $130.00 great $130.00 residential schools plus across canada at one time or another. this is just the tip of the iceberg. if you don't mind, can you tell us a little bit about your day that school

you're talking about the georgia, we heard this expression foreign hands. what does that mean? well, there are suspicions and allegations that there is a shouty. hans behind this alleged the destabilization lot, the links between the defendants and the kingdom of saudi arabia, specifically crown prince mohammed ban. so non are important here. i want to stress that i haven't seen any concrete evidence to demonstrate the saudi government was involved. busy in applying to destabilize jordan, but it's no secret that there has been some rising tensions between the ash making in some gulf states, chiefly saudi arabia, in the u, a. e. so within that context, these suspicions and these allegations of saudi involvement are very serious. and regardless of what is fact, what is fiction? i think this whole episode could serve to create some serious problems between amman and re odd wrapping my next question up in one massive allegedly giorgio. why would saudi arabia allegedly want to be stabilized? jordan at this time. well, there are some voices who are suspicious of a saudi hand who thin

as of late, i will see some intense rain through the florida panhandle. southern areas of the state, georgia into south carolina is wal, give you a wider look because here's what else we are tracing. a disturbance rolling through the great lakes that kicked, found the temperature and toronto to 23. when you consider just a 4 or 5 hour drive away in detroit, you're at 31 degrees. central america. we have some rain for the pacific coast of mexico. so that's going to impact that poco also some heavy rain for nicaragua, costa rica into panama, and we're tracing out this front and south america toward the south. look at that cool pool of air toward the north. we still got high temperatures, will go in for a closer look. this already kicked down the temperature and associates by half. eventually it will make its way to rio de janeiro. so you go from 31 degrees down to 17 by thursday. the new generation of young people and making demand to be balance society. welcome to generational change. a global theories attempt to understand and challenge the ideas that mobilize you around the world in london

basically because she georgia including abolition course. ok. so we'll, we'll touch on the maturity of unity in democracy a little bit later on. but sarah, the prime minister, the now the x prime minister hisham the she, she, he seemed also now willing, is willing to give way and waits. why has he done so easily? so willingly, i think in part. yeah, i think in part because of the, this idea of stability that we're talking about. i don't think he has much to gain from trying to fight this. i think, you know, between all the various measures that the president has laid out, including the curfew and quitting travel bands. and i think it's, you know, i'm sure the prime minister is not happier. former prime minister is not happy, but i do think it's in his interest to just kind of quietly step down and see where things play out. sally, do you, do you think that the prime minister or the president might try and consolidate power further? what mighty try and do so the $1000000.00 question, and i don't have an answer. unfortunately, trudges can be said

at the same time, people are still in the room, the sitting opposite, just lcd georgia. at that table, and they're just having those conversations but that is the saving grace from all of it that after nearly 2 decades of this particular war with the united states and for decades of conflict in a gun, the son, this is the time when the guns can sit across the table as gods without interlocutors, without intermediaries, without being pressured to do so. and they have been doing so since september. but the question is that, how viable are these talks? are they actually going to achieve any results you have and i've gone taliban side, which is seeing that in just a matter of months. it has strapped across of line is done and taken more than half of more than $200.00 to $6.00 to $400.00. and they feel that there is a, there's a military victory in there. i also thought of on spokesman, do they feel that there is a military solution? and he told me that if they wanted to take the country militarily, they would have done so without sitting down. and, but when you go into detai

a lot of optimism around fiscal policy, and i think it was correctly placed, particularly after the georgia senate elections. we opened up a very broad window for fiscal possibilities. i think that window is narrowing. i think there is cap this is him around for the fiscal stimulus coming through, and to that end, the interest structure package is not near fiscal stimulus. it is a long-term piece of policy. i think markets are looking ahead and seeing both fiscal and monetary policy start to roll over. monetary policy, very likely we will start to see that paper and kick in next year. we can argue about the timing, but i think it is clearly on the horizon. fiscal policy is going to step down. we have pumped in about 25% of gdp over the course of the past 15 months or so. that fiscal impetus is going to be unto about 2% of gdp next year, so it is a big step down, and i think markets are becoming open to the possibility that once the fiscal stimulus is out of the system, we will return to trend faster than anticipated. that is been the big driver of the curve flattening here. jonathan: are we

congressman buddy carter of georgia joins me from savannah. you're a pharmacist and you represent one of the states that has one of the lower vaccination rates. why did you and your colleagues in the medical field feel it was so important to put out this message even though many republicans may not be open to it. >> well, vaccines are the single most life saving innovation in the history of medicine. thanks to operation warp speed, we have a number of vaccines to come on the market in less than a year. i encourage people to get the vaccine, because it is safe and effective. however, i do not think we should be mandating it. this is a decision that should be made by individuals in consultation with their doctor and their families. i believe in the vaccine and i believe it's safe and effective, so much so that as a health care professional and a member of the doctors caucus in congress, i myself went through the clinical trials. i c to set a good example. i'm glad i did. i do believe it is safe and effective. however, i have to stop short of say

is your hearing in georgia going to change that? >> we've seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in georgia, that not only denies voters water when they're standing in line, but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. and guess what? you have to register 29 days before. this is clearly a focus by the republicans in georgia on limiting people from voting. so we're doing this hearing, yes, to build pressure, to pass basic federal voting rights. that is the for the people act. the john lewis bill. you name it. if we were just to concede and say, okay, we have one vote. the republicans blocked it so we're taking our marbles and going home. that's not fair to the people of georgia. that's sure not fair to the people of texas. we're not giving up. there are many ways to proceed here, including the upcoming infrastructure packages that were just discuss ed with senatr portman. i'm happy to answer. i think we need a deadline that senator

but he would have to move to georgia and decide he wants to run. it hasn't happened but it's allowed warnock to get a head start in what we think is a competitive race because georgia still is -- it's a battle ground, but georgia is used to electing republicans. >> it is. and a midterm election year, you would think the president's party normally suffers. a couple other great races. the democrats trying to hold arizona. that has been a tough state but it's been trending more to the blue. and democrats hope it's a long shot, but they hope to knock off marco rubio in florida. one of the things you need in a competitive environment is money. we'll get the full context. mark kelley, the democrat in arizona raised nearly $6 million. florida, congressman demings, one of the democrats running to oppose rubio raised nearly 5 million since the june launch with 3 million cash on hand. rubio came in with about 4 million on hand. but the senate races are going to cost a boat load of dimes. the democrat are moving on they'll have money. >> and democrats were wo

look at georgia? i think part of what happened in georgia, the reason there are two democratic senators from georgia, at least in part is because the state me a restrictions to voting, and the democratic party and democratic voters stood up and said we're going to vote. >> and the question is, and i go through this all the time with maps where the states did the restrictions and the big midterm races are. what do we know the impact on 2022 in a midterm election where certain states with big senate races or vulnerable house districts, the ones that decide? do they keep the house, the senate? both holding just by strings right now? >> well, look, i think democrats recognize that they need to do a serious education with campaign with their voters so people are aware not only of this as an issue that could galvanize voters but how they can cast their ballot given the restrictions. as phil pointed out, they don't have a lot of plays, cards to play here. it's not nothing feels like it's going to move in con

i'm joined by georgia's lieutenant governor, jeff duncan. lieutenant governor, great to have you on. elected officials right now are split on whether to offer vaccine payouts to boost rates. we've heard that the white house is considering up to $100 to get people vaccinated. is this something that you and governor kemp would consider statewide? >> well, certainly if you look at the data, we're in the midst of a pretty significant wave that's beginning. and you know, i look back to the lessons learned from the early parts of this pandemic, and you know, those lessons learned were, you know, that -- try to leave the partisan battles to the side to make good decisions. and you know, for me the majority of folks i talk to that are not vaccinated just have a couple of questions. they have some concerns. you know, somebody last night at dinner told me they said, you know, i keep being told to talk to my health care provider. how do i call and ask a question about the vaccine? there is no vehicle for it. the push i'm making is that we try to flood

. >>> plus, mounting anger over the death of a journalist in the nation of georgia. local tv stations have joined the calls for the prime minister to resign. we'll explain. stay with us. dad, why didn't you answer your phone? your mother loved this park. ♪ she did. >>> the funeral for haiti's assassinated president jovenel moise has been set for next friday. we also learned the fbi is in haiti and has begun its own investigation. that's because some of the key suspects in the plot appear to have connections in florida. the country's acting prime minister said if it was meant to topple the government it failed. haitian authorities say dozens of police are being investigated over their possible roles including some who were at moise's home at the night of the attack. >>> in the country of georgia, there are growing calls for the prime minister to step down after journalists were viciously attacked while covering a protest in the capital. the death of a cameraman several days later has galvanized the position of the prime minister with several tv stations calling for

let's begin coverage in georgia where new coronavirus cases are up 230% right now. cnn's natasha chen is live dekalb county. one of the new hot spots for covid infections and the surge is already interrupted the start of the new school year at one school, more than 100 kids now in quarantine. bring us up to speed with the latest. >> reporter: right. so the charter school in atlanta started class last tuesday and within a couple of days, they had to inform families of more than 100 students to quarantine and that's because as of friday afternoon, they've had 14 positive cases. that's because they've been actually doing a lot of testing to detect these. employees of theirs required to get tested before the school started and must continue that weekly. students strongly encouraged to test, and so out of about 1900 tests done before tuesday, they detected some positive cases and then a few more after classes started. mostly affected is that sixth grade class. nearly 100 sixth graders in quarantine. eighth graders are the ones having to move classes online because the ei

they've made it so much more difficult to vote by mail here in georgia. pushing more people to voting in person. at the same time they've reduced the period when folks can go and vote early in elections here in georgia. and all of this is based on lies. this is cynical use of legislative power, abuse of the force of law to make it more difficult for people to vote in order to gain a partisan edge in elections. >> let's talk about legislation that now you as a member of congress and the senate are trying to get passed now. this weekend, you and your colleagues in the senate are working hard this weekend to try and fine-tune what is to be a bipartisan infrastructure legislation. how are you doing that? >> theis is a historic moment. we have a generational obligation to address climate change, to make long-deferred investments in the maintenance and construction of american infrastructure so that america can continue to lead the world, so that we can confront this environmental crisis. the question before us is whether or not we will assert american vision a

trump literally told people in georgia don't go to the polls, don't vote. but when they need voters to show up in a midterm election, they need these low-propensity white voters who trump brought out of the woodwork. are they going to show up when it's harder for them to vote, too? >> it's also something that the white house does feel like it has to counter. you've seen them focus more on the issue of voting rights, especially as they have faced some calls from civil rights activists who really use the bully pulpit and also mobilize democrats around the issue of access to the ballot. vice president kamala harris, this is really a dominant theme for her. and she's been holding these listening sessions with election workers, pollworkers and officials, as well as black civil rights leaders and also the private sector. because they do feel like because voting rights legislation is stalled in congress, one of the ways to kind of counter the republican messaging is to try and get democratic voters to also care about this issue going into the midterms and hope tha

i live in georgia below 40%. you mentioned 37%. but ultimately what the bmt line is there's a lot of misinformation out there, john. you know, it doesn't matter whether you are american or frerchg. a lot of young people are concerned the young people in the u.s. are concerned about, i have so far fought covid. i've been through the pandemic for a year. nothing has happened to me. i don't know anybody who has had covid. why should i get the vaccine? and another big concern that a lot of people have whether you're a democrat or republican, is this vaccine was developed in lightning speed. what is going to happen to me the next two or three years if i get this vaccine? so really, the ground game, john, has just begun. we need to go to barber sshops d primary care physicians and dispel the myths. >> i thought dr. scott gottlieb was trying to dispel one of them by saying developed quickly in the trump administration. if you're a conservative, the vaccine work was done during the trump administration. one of the few things they can brag
