who controls the counting room, if republicans have had that kind of power, political power in georgia and in other places, arizona, pennsylvania, these key battleground states we ulha had all trumpy successful and stealing the election. a lot of these laws have provision that would make that kind of change. i think it's under the category of, they call it election subversion, that's the new category of negotiation that these voting rights from the senate is all about. i think it's ball game, i think republicans understand that if they control the counting rooms and the counting process that is the way in which they can systematically undermined democracy in the most profound way. we saw it on display on the threat of 2020. and any bill the democrats take up in the senate or in the house or in congress or in these coming months if it doesn't address this issue it misses the point. >> before it was written, it was run before the election, long before we saw these new republican legislative proposals and zerlina, we see that george is already acting on that new law and they're basically

let�*s talk now to georgia nichol, who is herself pregnant and has had the coronavirus vaccine. thank you forjoining us. first of all, explain to us what has happened in your case? you have had both long covid and the infection last year and it wasn�*t great? covid and the infection last year and it wasn't great?— covid and the infection last year and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm ount , and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm young. l'm — and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm young. i'm for— and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm young. i'm for it- _ and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm young, i'm for it. i— and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm young, i'm for it. i didn't- and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm young, i'm for it. i didn't think - and it wasn't great? yeah. so, i'm young, i'm for it. i didn't think it l young, i�*m for it. i didn�*t think it was going to affect me at once. but i got covid last october. not very badly at all. both me and my husband got complications, long covid, which has affected us for nearly six months. and it wasjust has affected us for nearly six

and, zerlina, we see a report in the "atlanta journal constitution" that georgia is already acting on that new law, and they are basically trying to pull the vote-counting process away from fulton county in a major democratic county. so the republican strategy seems to be, we don't care how many of you show up. we're going to try to suppress that. but if you do conquer us there and you show up, we're going to be counting. and when we do the counting, you're not going to like what happens. >> yeah. it's rigging the game on the front end and the back end. it's making sure that no matter what happens and no matter what wave of people show up to say, we don't want these people in office, it won't matter because you have your folks in place. it's like playing the referees. i hate the sports analogies, about you it works here, i think, in helping folks understand what's happening here. and i think, you know, i think republicans actually have overplayed their hand, and i think that the momentum is on the democratic side if the biden white house is willing to take this courageous step and be

i asked doug astrop who is managing partner at exponential investment partners in atlanta, georgia. well, we don't think there is a problem, actually. we think the numbers they reported were pretty amazing and as you pointed out, 56% revenue growth and this is a company valued at over $1 trillion, that is incredible growth on the top line and i think facebook was just being and i think facebook was just being a bit cautious on setting expectations for the next two quarters because the accounts are going to get more difficult year over year so i think they were being a bit conservative that they're still looking at 20 or 30% growth which is fantastic.— which is fantastic. apple's new -riva which is fantastic. apple's new privacy policies _ which is fantastic. apple's new privacy policies do _ which is fantastic. apple's new privacy policies do ban - which is fantastic. apple's new privacy policies do ban abs - which is fantastic. apple's newj privacy policies do ban abs and advertisers from collecting data about iphone users without their consent, so what impact will those changes

. >> and republican legislatures including georgia's for example, and texas, have been trying to formalize into their state laws what donald trump was trying to do over the phone with the attorney general by basically being able to change the outcome after the vote count, that's what they're trying to put into some of these laws. your hearing today was address something of that. >> yeah, so we have a bill that would preclude some of what the states are doing to replace the local election officials who are just counting the ballots. i mean, this has not been something that has been high profile. this has been a boring activity for centuries where you just count the ballots, now partisans are seeking apparently to take over this function and to skew the results. we can't let that happen and this bill would prevent it. we had a hearing today that was very helpful but chilling as well. because although the registrars and election officials didn't engage in hand-to-hand combat, like our brave officers testified about yesterday, they are facing off with armed militants who are seeking to subvert

think they have to include, not just the voting rights act, but the bill that was the senator from georgia has put in that will obviate some of these terrible efforts to enable republican legislatures to overturn election results because they don't like them. put that package together, and i think biden can play a very constructive role. and then i think we are really in line to get something extraordinarily important done. >> jonathan, that is what i have been following in this voting rights issue in the senate. it is that it is a complex, longer term game that obviously -- and it's always difficult for people to watch that and wait for the sequential elements of the game to play out. and people have to understand that hr1, for the reasons i have described, is obsolete right now. it was right and years ago, before the 2020 election. there are two big problems. voter suppression, which everyone knows about, it is been around for a long time, and voter subversion. that is a new problem, voter subversion. it is people trying to i -- banana republicans, basically, trying to overturn election

what lies behind the extreme weather around the globe, here's kim cobb, a climate scientist at the georgia institute of technology. well, it really all comes back down to heat. and the greenhouse gases that are accumulating in the atmosphere are warming the planet and we see this very clearly in the data. this warming has a number of dramatic effects on the climate system. 0bviously most notably it causes the kind of record—breaking heat extremes that we saw in the pacific northwest over recent weeks. those heat extremes can dry out oils, dry vegetation, lead to the perfect conditions for wildfires and unfortunately very prolonged droughts which are incredibly damaging across many regions of the world. a warming atmosphere is also able to hold more moisture. and that is something that is definitively linked to rising greenhouse gases in the science. that is directly related to the types of extreme rainfall events that we've seen historically over recent yea rs. and of course is very much the topic of conversation with the ongoing catastrophe in germany right now. the greatest risk right
