and to your point, right, this is something that europe kind of has to do, right? they've been leaning on the u.s. in a whole host of ways. so there is a positive there. but the negative or at least the reality for the u.s. is even our closest allies don't have the same confidence they had in the u.s. before. again, afghanistan was a concrete example of that for them. yes, they knew the u.s. was going to withdraw at some point. but the way it happened, they were not happy. and you can say all the nice things you want, as has president biden, but the fact is the u.s. is out of there and now we and europe have to deal with the consequences. >> does that plus his own party not giving what he wants make it a done deal for biden before these meetings even start or does he have a shot? >> listen, he didn't get what he wanted, and by the way, the president and his team were -- they articulated this themselves, they said, you've got to send him to europe with something, with this deal. he got close, they do have a framework agreement. we shouldn't forget about that. and th

it is being driven by rising cases across europe. the w.h.o. chief blames the continued spread of the virus on in equity. let's listen. >> it's another reminder that the covid-19 pandemic is far from over. the pandemic persists in large part because inequitable access to tools persists. >> europe accounted for 57% of new cases worldwide last week and is the only w.h.o. region to report increases in infections. >>> today the u.s. food and drug administration is expected to authorize pfizer's covid vaccine for use in children ages 5 to 11. this will allow the company to begin shipping out its version for younger kids. pfizer says clinical trials show it's more than 90% effective against symptomatic covid after the fda grants authorization, the cdc still needs to give its approval. the cdc vacciner advisers are expected to hold a meeting on tuesday and the agency's director gets the final say. >>> donald trump's former chief of staff mark meadows could soon find himself in the same fix as the former president's ally steve bannon. multiple sources

europe's strictest vaccine policy. bringing the pandemic under control and ending economic uncertainty will help focus leader's minds here. but absent president xi and putin at the table, it seems a stretch to have a covid solution. nic robertson, cnn, rome. >>> after the g20, the u.s. president will travel to scotland for the cop-26 climate summit. but it looks like he won't have much to show. he has vowed to cut around half of u.s. greenhouse gas emissions below their 2005 levels by 2030. the white house says he's considering new executive actions, restricting methane, mercury, and power plant emissions. but analysts say that won't be enough, and that joe biden will need congress to pass clean energy bills to reach his goal. >>> for more on all of this, we're joined by professor and volcano gist jess phoenix. thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> as one of the world's biggest carbon polluters along with china, india, russia and japan, what does the u.s. need to do to lead the charge at the cop 26 clim

we'd actually have kind of a natural gas marshall plan for europe. we in america would build a set of l&g export terminals to export our national gas. we're the saudi arabia of natural gas. we're more than saudi arabia of natural gas, we have 100 years of supply. but if you can't liquify it, you can't export it. and then we partner with europeans and build terminals over there and then you have a long-term plan to counterbalance the influence of russia. >> so play out some of the other political consequences of this energy crunch and energy crisis. clearly russia gets empowered. what else happens? >> another thing i think people aren't paying attention to, and you've had this on the show before, which is iran is getting closer and closer to developing enough fissile material now to build one nuclear bomb. if you listen to americans, security officials and israeli security officials, they've been telling us we're not going to let that happen. we're not going to let iran get that close. they're getting that close. if they're considering some kind of ki

he's going to europe. he would like to say a framework for a deal is in place and then he'll be meeting the pope. when you meet pope francis. that's a historic moment. biden is the second catholic president and they will be able to talk about climate change and hopefully the optics of this trip. yet biden meeting with anybody, any french leadership is problematic due to the recent nuclear submarine deal that cut france out of the picture between the united states, australia and great britain, so it's a time fraught for problems with joe biden, and we've got the virginia gubernatorial race coming up on tuesday. >> yeah. we've got virginia and new jersey on tuesday. there is -- you know, as we know it and we've been talk, there is so much riding on this. real quickly, gloria, before i let you go. the fact that former president obama is putting out a statement about this and he's basically saying, look, this could be transformational. this is a real big deal. there's a lot in that bill. >> right. >> he's also

well, there are pockets of resistance across parts of europe. there are high levels of vaccine uptick in most countries in western europe and we have seen that. but in recent days, we've seen protests in italy and switzerland as woeell over the measures being taken to really nurnl encourage people to get that jab. what that entails in italy, the green pass, people will have to provide proof of getting the vaccination or getting that infection recently, recovering from that, or indeed getting a negative test within the last 48 hours. and those who don't comply with that green pass could face getting a fine of up to $1,075. and those in switzerland putting in a restriction for those who don't comply of going to restaurants and bars and clubs. but just last year, polls reflected that many people were not keen to get that jab. and president macron announced that there would be the health pass, we saw that vaccine uptick surge. so there is a example of these kind of measures encourage people to go out asand get that vaccine. >> it seems universal tha

the president is on his way to europe. how is he supposed to pitch strength and unity to the world when they're literally one vote away from their entire agenda crumbling? >> yeah, that's ea very importat point. it is enough that biden is delaying his trip to rome by a few hours to try to meet with some of the house democrats to try to see if he can get more than what he currently has in terms of a deal. he wanted to go to europe with a deal in hand and say america is back, america is able to legislate, push back against some of the authoritarian voices that are cropping up in europe by saying, democracy works. er we can legislate and figure out our differences and lead on the world stage both on the climate front and on the social programs. but now it seems like he's going to have to go to europe and say, i'm still working on it. give me a little bit more time. democracy is messy, but i hope to get a plan done. it is a less strong message than what he wanted, but that's what he has at this point going into these meetings

diplomacy is on full display today in europe. secretary of state anthony blinken is wrapping up a visit to paris meant really to ease tensions over the new defense pact, remember, with uk and australia. the agreement to build nuclear powered submarines that led australia to a $66 billion deal for diesel electric subs from france. then we have u.s. talks with china. they come as taiwan's defense minister predicted today china could be capable of launching a full-scale invasion of the island within the next four years. let's have more on both these stories. in hong kong following the u.s./china diplomacy, joining us from paris, the latest on the u.s. secretary of state visit. melissa, i suspect as we set up there just before coming to you, this meeting is very much about mending fences with france given what occurred over the nuclear-powered submarines. how did that go? >> reporter: well, secretary of state blinken doing what he does best, which is use words, america's top diplomat, of course, they happened to be on french televisi

and how negotiations might go. >> well, these relationships with europe are absolutely vital, because the u.s. does not have a very good relationship with iran at all. it is absolutely rock bottom. and particularly hardliners in charge of iran, this is going to make things much more difficult. and france has been able to have some sort of relationship with iran so they are key to me somehow trying to return to the deal but i would also agree with what has already been said. i think before we get to any cooperation, we're actually going to see more sanctions deployed. and that's because the hardliners in iran seem not open stall to having any kind of deal. so it may be that things get worse whether they get better. >> my colleague jim sciutto pointed out that there are two key figures that are quote/unquote phoning it in. not in rome and in person, china's xi jinping and vladimir putin of russia. they will be attending virtually. i'm wondering how you think that might impact the effectiveness of the summit. >> this is actually a really big problem, though it does give biden an opportun

now cnn is confronting the man responsible dubbed europe's last dictator. would you take this opportunity now to apologize to the people of belarus for the human rights abuses that they have suffered at your hands? >> translator: no, i would not like to take this opportunity. i don't think that this is even a relevant question and in principle i have nothing to apologize for. >> reporter: you say you have nothing to apologize for, but human rights watch says multiple detainees have reported broken bones, broken teeth, brain injuries, skin wounds, electrical burns. amnesty international speaks of detention centers becoming torture chambers where protestors were forced to lie in the dirt, stripped naked while police kicked and beat them. you don't think that is worth apologizing for? >> translator: you know, we don't have a single detention center as you say like guantanamo or the bases that the united states and your country created in eastern europe. as regards to our own detention center, they are no worse than in britain or the united states. i discuss th

poor relations after the afghan debacle between the united states and her allies in mainland europe. and vladimir putin's real focus over the next year is going to be on a bilateral meeting with joe biden. joe biden's the only man that he sees as a sufficient colossus for him to meet in any serious sense. the other, of course, would be the president of china. he sees himself very much in that bracket of leadership and sees historically very little to be gained from these large gatherings of the international community of leaders. and in the past, he's always used them as opportunities to take the elbow, if you like, of the u.s. president and get a great deal of focus on bilateral meetings that happen unofficially during these sorts of gatherings of g20 and others, wolf. >> i was in geneva when president putin met personally one-on-one with president biden. it was a very significant moment. i assumed it was going to be repeated here in rome. clearly that's not happening. sam, i want you to stand by. as we said, the chinese president, xi jinping, won't be here at the g20 summit in pers

he delayed his departure to europe this morning in order to make this final push to get his party to come together around a deal since republicans are united against this effort. let's begin our coverage with cnn's john harwood. he's live at the white house. we'll hear from the president just minutes away, john. what do you think we're about to hear from president biden? >> reporter: i think a very strong case in the affirmative for what's in this package, not what was cut out of the package. he originally asked for $3.5 trillion, lost priorities like two years of free community college for everyone in america, lost the paid leave program, which even as late as last week he thought would survived in reduced form. he's going to talk about $1.75 trillion of investments in education, universal precare, expanded pell grants, health care, strengthen obamacare, strengthened medicare through additional dental benefits, in children, expanded child tax credit, housing, new money for affordable housing, and climate change as he goes to this meeting in glasgow for worldwide efforts to combat cl

. >> reporter: you know, jim, this is something that is extremely welcome within europe, which has been very impatient with these u.s. restrictions, welcomed by the u.s. travel industry, airlines have had a very difficult time restoring their international business, and very welcome to the biden administration, which is desperate to restore more of a sense of normalcy, get out of the pandemic. now the trends are going down. they're trying in the last couple of weeks to celebrate some of these milestones. on november 8th, the country-by-country restrictions that have prevented people from flying into the united states are going to be lifted with a condition -- vaccination. got to have it. that is consistent with the message that president biden is trying to send domestically, to companies through the u.s. government, vaccine requirements. that's the way out of the pandemic and the way into the united states for people from europe, from other parts of the world, south africa, elsewhere that have been subject to regional or country-by-country bans. those are now being lifted if you show pr

who is the most trusted friend in europe if you sit this trip aside? >> we'll watch over the next few days who is exactly, especially after he mentioned this dustup with macron. we'll see how does this all play out. have the democrats reset the button after the trump administration and they are starting these relationships anew? >> is he weaker or stronger in the sense that the president wanted congressional passage of the infrastructure plan, congressional timeline to pass sweeping spending plan that mostly has nothing to do with foreign affairs except for the climate part of t.biden wanted the wind at his back, personal political momentum and a climate piece that comes at the climate summit that comes at the end of the trip. he does have landmark investments in the framework. not guaranteed to get to the finish line. does he have the wind at the back or are europe dwran leaders looking at joe biden saying you're not donald trump but we're not sure. >> it's interesting if you listened to jake sullivan he was kind of asked these questions saying, look,

we're going to have more on biden's visit here to europe in a moment. erica? >> first, more on why that trip has been delayed now this morning as you pointed out, jim. before president biden leaves for europe, he's making a detour to capitol hill where he'll meet with the house democratic caucus reportedly in an effort to try to convince progressives to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill that they have been using as leverage to advance the social spending bill. sources telling cnn that the president plans to use this meeting to lay out some of the long awaited details of this $1.75 trillion economic and climate package. now, whether the president can ultimately convince lawmakers to get on board, that still remains to be seen. this after another progressive priority, paid family leave, already slashed from 12 weeks to four, now appears to have been sacrificed altogether and another compromise to moderate west virginia senator joe manchin. >> to expand social programs when you have trust funds that aren't solvent, going insolvent, i can't explain that. it

let's start first on where europe stands with this working situation at the border. we have heard from your reporting throughout the week that the eu believes lukashenko is orchestrating this. from that side, what can the eu do leer? >> that's really the big question. it's one of the things when you hear about the criticism that many have of poland, the eu always couches that and says, look, we believe lukashenko is very much at fault in all of this because he's the one, they say, who is manufacturing all this. he's the one who is essentially telling people to come there and then pushing, literally pushing them across the border. we've talked to refugees who said they were driven to the border by belarusian border guards who then cut the barbed wire fence for them and pushed them across. now, the poles are obviously saying this isn't going to happen here. what they did do is they declared the area around their border into an emergency zone, and that means no press is allowed inside. that means no ngos are allowed inside and they have been accused of a lot of these ng

it was the president who told members of congress that he wanted this done before he took off for europe. specifically before he reached the glascow summit. white house officials followed suit and agreed with that. >> it's easy to lose track. they will try at some point sooner rather than later to get together on what they can agree on and there in this kind of routine. the progressives want to make sure that they don't get double crossed by the senate. they want to make sure that manchin and sinema will be with them. it's easy if senator manchin and senator sinema said we support the larger frame work as well as the infrastructure bill. i think you'd have a lot of these progressives on board. there's such a lack of trust, which is kind of astonishing actu actually between the house members and those more moderate democrats in the senate that it's hard to predict how and when this is going to happen. if the president couldn't effectively knock heads today and some people said he was a little too reticent today on the hill, but he couldn't convince them to do it today before he jetted off

he wanted the details of europe. he wanted the details of the world and he listened closely to his sbard nationals. he mentored general franks and dealt with the characteristics of a guy like general schwarzkopf. powell was a great leader. he pulled different kinds of people together and during desert storm, he was one of the individuals who pulled a coalition together. there were jordanians and egyptians fighting on the same battle we were when we invaded iraq to reestablish the boundaries of kuwait. that's the individual military and political that he was, a perfect pick for the chairman of the joint chiefs. >> also a fairly unique figure in american history. there are people for whom there is a genuine movement to get that person to run for president and then have that person refuse to do so. after retired as chairman of the joint chiefs in 1993, for the 1996 election there were all kinds of people who wanted him to run for president, really run for president and urged and urged and urged him to run but he didn't

interesting, he's made a lot of mistakes on foreign policy but china is not one of them, america and europe, allies mistress joe biden because of the way he handled afghanistan and not allowing them to travel through the u.s. to covid, because of covid, the allies feel like the united states can be counted on, think about the quad for example, the new diplomatic engagement with the indians and the australians the japanese, all countries that want to see more united states in their backyard, because they are working about china, the relationship is going very well, the announcement of this new august deal, really antagonizing the french and the chinese even more, but the australians really wanted it, because the chinese launched a trade war against australia, so when you're talking about the asian allies, and this pivot towards the region, because people are concerned that china is getting too strong and not aligning with the rules of engagement that the americans and our allies are of been living with for decades now, hardly speaking the asian allies are pretty happy with the biden administ

we in the united states and the united kingdom and europe are talking about booster vaccines, whereas many citizens of african nations and other country offense the world have not got that. >> stay there one moment. back to capitol hill as lawmakers emerge from the meeting with the president. let's listen in and hear what they're saying. >> mr. president, are you going to have a bill in hand? what did you tell the democratic senators? what did you tell the democrats? >> one more try there to see if the president would give an update. did he get the commitments he was looking for on capitol hill from, mind you, members of his own party as they try to push these economic priorities across the finish line? do we know at this point where things stand? because it seems to change every few minutes. the white house this morning believed they had a deal. then you started to hear public comments from lawmakers that, no, they're not ready. i spoke to senator ed markey a few minutes ago, and he said, hey, we can wait, don't have to do it before g-20. what's the reality? >> reporter: it seems we'

>> french leaders and particularly others in europe were telling me a year ago right after the election that they feared biden would be a little more than just basically a change -- a very slight change in direction before we go back to a trumplike position in america. there were plenty of carrots but no sticks here. that was the principle problem i see about this. biden needed to come with something that he could actually tell what he was going to do, not simply, basically, platitude. show, not tell, is what i always say. don't tell me what you want to do. that is what i think basically happened in the entire period. it was interesting, the french magazine, newspaper figueroa said climate vaccines, timid advanced. we don't need timid add advances, we need strong advances for literally kwai problem. when will you think of the top 10 in the world, the number oneie mirt r, china. number 3 is biden for the u.s. he's coming but he's coming with bad news, that he wants to lower the goal for india. the fourth is russia. here we have putnam is the encouraging sense of urgency. these people are

but the move sent shock waves throughout europe. a former-european council chief and leader of the country's main opposition group urged people to turn out for the protests. >> translator: i say this today. that even if i had to be alone, i would stand and raise this alarm because it is a matter of our future. the future of our children and grandchildren. >> reporter: relations between brussels and warsaw have been strained since the law and justice party came to power six years ago. the party has introduced reforms to the judiciary it says will make courts more efficient. but the eu says could threaten judicial independence. some critics fear that thursday's court ruling could be a first step towards a pol-exit or poland leaving the eu, a prospect the government calls fake news. that's something protestors say they're adamantly opposed to. the eu says it will use all of its power to enforce the rules of the bloc, and could cut off sending more funds to poland over the court's decision. kim brunhuber, cnn. >>> coming up on "cnn news

reticent today on the hill, but if he couldn't convince them to do it today, before he jetted off to europe, it's hard to see when that exactly is going to happen. >> so, phil, you had the president going in front of the cameras to announce this framework. there's still the wording of the deal which can go south in a whole bunch of different way, couldn't it? >> yeah, it's a really great point. drafting of legislation always take the over in terms of timeline to use a sports betting terminology. just because it takes a long time, and the words actually matter. i'm not being kind of flip when i say that. each line, each phrase, each section is extraordinarily important and has wide-ranging implications and repercussions. i think in terms of what the president did this morning, it was calculated risk. i think there was an understanding they didn't have the votes and full agreement on the framework from the parties involved, but they felt like they needed to make a push. the other thing they felt like they needed to do is rest back control of what has been very clearly the story of the last se

i mean the white house has tried to impose another deadline before biden leaves for europe. but they need to pass something soon. you know, you've got elections coming up next week in virginia. you've got the midterms looming. and we're at the place where now we seem to know what some of the bottom lines particularly for senator sinema are, this billionaire's tax as opposed to raising -- and a corporate minimum tax, which are different ways to raise revenue to pay for these programs. the white house is doubling down on a fairly generous slice of this bill being directed to the environment. bernie sanders saying, look, some of it's got to cover medicare coverage for hearing and dental. so what everyone's positions are now pretty clear and the question is whether joe biden can draw on the senate and bring everybody to the finish line. democrats need this win. there must be a way to reason together, and it looks like while the devil's always in the details, they're closer than ever. we'll see. >> john harwood, the president hitting the trail tonight for terry mcauliffe. he need

the president is now headed to europe. he visited capitol hill to push a framework for his social safety net package. the president laid out the stakes and they are high. he told house democrats that his presidency and democrats' control of congress will be determined by what happens in the next week. >> no one got everything they wanted, including me, but that's what compromise is, that's consensus, and that's what i've ran on. i've long said compromise and consensus are the only ways to get things done in a democracy. important things done for the country. i know it's hard. i know how deeply people feel about the things they fight for. but this framework includes historic investments in our nation and on our people. >> so the president is speaking there as if this were a done deal, but progressives do not seem to be on board yet. joining us now, we have cnn chief political correspondent dana bash and manu raju, who's been tracking every step of the negotiations from capitol hill. manu, we know nancy pelosi was hoping to

. >> russia, china and practically all of europe grant six months or more of paid sick leave. 20 million americans go to work sick every year because they can't afford to take an unpaid day off. new moms in canada and japan or russia, they get 52 weeks or more of paid maternity leave and in chile, they gut up to a year and in brazil at least 14 weeks of leave is paid for by the government. and in fact there are only seven nations in the world with no national paid maternity leave. apart from the united states, no other industrialized nations leave new moms out in the cold. well i'm one the faortunate one. but also the time to recover as a new mom from a transformative and very challenging experience of child birth and sleepless nights. after my second child, i developed severe postpartum anxiety. my paid leave through work gave me the time to seek the treatment i needed and to recover mentally before going back to my demanding job. i honestly could not imagine having to deal with the stress of not having paid leave on top of everything i was going through. how is it possible in this day

campaigns of the politicians represented at the g20, particularly when it comes to north north america and europe? it's the millionaires, the lobbyists, and the industrialists who call the shots when it comes to the situation. here we have people dressed up as the dead, and it is written here, capitalism is dead. so this is a large protest, certainly larger than we usually see here in rome. and i think it's reflective of the level of frustration among many people, not just here in italy, but in much of the developing world that there's been a lot of talk about fighting climate change but very little action. wolf? >> we'll stay in close touch with you. the black over there. we'll watch all of this unfold. we're staying on top of the g20 summit. it's going to affect people all over the world. kaitlan and jim will be with me. but i want to go back to amara and boris right now to get all the late-breaking developments. there's a lot of news going on, guys. >>> major developments on the pandemic as well as some key elections coming up in just a few days. we'll check back in with you, wolf, later this

in a last-minute mitch before the president left for europe, he visited capitol hill to push his pared-down, build back better act. a source says he told house democrats today that his presidency and his party's control of congress, quote, will be determined by what happens in the next week. >> progressives continue their push-back. they said they need to see the actual words on paper to see if they'll back the spending bill which no longer includes paid family medical leave and gaining support from moderates. a few weeks ago, nancy pelosi announced this. >> there is a path to get this done. for those who say i want to see text, the text is there for you to review, for you to complain about, for you to add to, subtract from, whatever it is, and we'll see what consensus emerges from that. but we're really very much on a path. >> cnn's manu raju is on capitol hill. phil mattingly is in rome following the president. manu, a lot has happened. fast-moving parts here. give us the state of play right now. >> uncertainty, but democrats pushing ahead to get at least one aspect of the biden agenda th

hundred, eight million ♪ >>> welcome back now to our special coverage of president biden's trip to europe. you're looking at live pictures of the vatican where president biden has been meeting with pope francis for well over an hour now. we are told they were to discuss a range of issues. everything from the pandemic, to global poverty, to climate change. >> he arrived about 9 0 minutes ago. of course biden is only the second catholic u.s. president in history. let's go right to chris cuomo who is live there. the meetings still going on, chris. >> it is. he is the first president catholic to meet with a sitting pope since diplomat ic relatio were created in 1984. here we are in the internal city, roep, g20, tons of problems. buff president biden's first real stop is here to meet with the pontiff. why and that do we think this is about? and that does this motivate in the american president. father thomas reese at the religion news service. it's good to have you, father. the mother tongue here. the question is, hey -- what's going on in there? how are they talking to each other? . >> i thin

i don't believe we can ever leave europe. >> you have some folks here who fear that the conservative government could be plotting to leave the european union. the government said that is not true. this is something the opposition is saying because they have nothing to talk about, no political points either. poland at this point is divided between eastern and western and the big cities. there are some folks in poland who do believe in the past couple of years certain rights have been curtailed. freedom of the press, independence of the judiciary. we do sort of see the political battle being waged inside poland has the topic of the european union as well, rosemary. fred pleitgen bringing us up to date on the developments. appreciate it. >>> polls are now closed in iraq and preliminary results in the country's parliamentary election are expected in the coming hours. the turnout was low despite a push from protesters to hold these elections early. cnn's sam kylie is joining me live from abu dhabi. preliminary results expected in just a few hours. what is the likely outcome here? why was

world as you can see there is now in the yellow and green, but new infections and fatalities are up in europe. as the global number of new covid infections continues to fall, one of the world's top tourist spots is trying to get up and running again. indonesia's resort island of bali had been off limits to international tourists about a year and a half. now the covid situation is improving. bali is officially reopening its doors to visitors from a select group of countries. let's bring in janice who joins us live from singapore. really tourism is their bread and butter here. the main source of income. this is an important step no doubt for them. >> reporter: that is right, yes, isa. in fact, one minister, the maritime affairs minister pointing out that 54% of bali's revenue comes from the tourism sector. that gives you an idea. so this is a celebratory moment really for those who live on bali whose income and livelihoods rely on all these tourists who come from all over the world. of course, it's a very famous destination. it's been featured in movies as well and in books. so it's something t

in terms of how the algorithm is changing things, is "60 minutes" pointing out political parties in europe have had to change their policy positions to be more extreme so the messaging can cut through and make some traction on facebook. so the idea that they are doing everything they can is contradicted by what we heard last night. another telling thing that she mentioned, they actually didn't use tools they have to identify misinformation because they didn't have the resources to actually follow-up on it. so we're talking about a trillion dollar company who is not staffing up appropriately to meet this challenge. according to facebook, they put warnings on 190 million pieces of covid information. according to their own research that, would account for 4% of the total covid misinformation. this is a massive problem. >> they don't have their hands around it. she is going to testify before congress tomorrow, mara. and i wonder, in these revelations are pretty stunning. but in a nation, in a world that is addicted to its social media, what impact do you think this is going to have? . >> yeah.

. >> well, in europe, political parties actually came to facebook researchers and said in order to get things to go viral on facebook now after the algorithm changed in 2018, we have to take more angry positions. more -- positions that we don't even necessarily agree with if we're going to get any traction on your site. and so, they very clearly tied these algorithms to -- to -- to policy differences in the political system in europe. >> you know, we've had facebook folks on before. and we've had mark zuckerberg on during covid but we also had an attorney from facebook on when they hadn't taken down, i think, a nancy pelosi video that was -- or some videos that were very misleading. it made some political figures look like they were drunk or something. one of their arguments essentially is -- i mean, the dilemma it seems to me that they have is because they are so huge and seen in so many countries, and have so many customers and want those customers to remain and want to remain in all these countries, for them to start getting into the business of actually being more than just, a cond

week to get this going so the president had something to tout when he got on air force one to head to europe to that climate summit. it sounds to me tonight even though he's hopeful, there's still ways to go here before he actually gets a deal. >> tonight my take away is what david said, there's a long way to go or a ways to go. but also this was just -- i felt like i was in therapy about how to manage sinema and manchin. >> no, it was -- it was that way exactly. listen, a lot of americans might not necessarily be familiar with senator joe manchin and senator sinema in the way we have all become familiar with those folks, but tonight they certainly got a crash course in what those folks want. and to david's point it is much more clear. listen, i thought the representative omar interview was telling. she said maybe days or weeks in terms of getting a deal. she herself seemed pretty optimistic and remember it was progressives who had really been shouting about this and saying that they wanted, you know, a much more massive bill. so they are in sort of a different place now with a more right si

certainly for the jewish people, certainly for what occurred in europe and world war ii. it just wasn't enough. >> i appreciate you being with us. >> thanks, john. >>> the suspect in a deadly bow and arrow attack converted to islam and may have been rad radic radicalized. there were concerns about radicalization, but that was before this year. the bow and arrow attack is the deadliest in norway in a decade. >> professional thieves targeting drug stores in san francisco stealing thousands of dollars worth of goods. what's behind this blatant ramp in crime spree? >>> an interview with justice stephen breyer. >> you still get these kinds of questions. from the start they were asking would you be liberal enough. right here we are after 27 years there are expectations whether you would want to retire to help out joe biden. >> his response next. certified turbocharger, suspension and fuel injection. translation: certified goosebumps. certified from headlamp to tailpipe. that's certified head turns. and d it's all backed by our unlimited mileage warranty. that means unlimited pe

europe has opened narrowly. stock index futures are barely moving. stocks closed higher tuesday. the dow up 198 points. s&p 500 and the nasdaq also up. more corporate earnings on deck today. nestle, united airlines, verizon report before the bell. tesla will share its report when markets close. >>> call it the squid game effect. netflix added 4.4 million subscribers riding the wave of the series that the a global sensation. the biggest ever series launched, 142 million watching in the first four weeks. it wasn't a blowout quarter, but sluggish subscriber growth netflix seems to be back on track. >> wow, 4.4 million. >> that's a time of the year when it's usually slow at the end of the summer. really good numbers there. we'll be right back. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, now introducing ensure complete! with 30 grams o

attend the house democratic caucus meeting on capitol hill in the morning delaying his departure in europe to twist the arms of progressives to vote on the infrastructure bill as early as tomorrow. but in another major development tonight it looks like paid, family and medical leave may be out of social safety net bill. it is a key cornerstone of president biden's agenda and a favorite of progressives but senator joe manchin appears to be determined to block it. also tonight the santa fe county sheriff saying that the gun used by alec baldwin in the fatal shooting on the set of "rust" discharged a live round. a lot to discuss. so let's get straight to washington now. cnn correspondent john harwood, char charlie here as well. president biden is just hours away from the critical foreign trip he's heading out on. democrats still seem deeply divided. what do you know about the negotiations? where do they stand at this hour? >> it's a huge mess, don. this is an extremely chaotic end to this long negotiation where there are so many elements included in this package, and there's been an extended

shouldn't convey to progressives to hold the vote and he did express concerns if she did, he could head to europe with a failed vote on his hands, which would be more embarrassing to him. so i think this is a really delicate balancing act. they would have liked to see a vote at least on infrastructure but he's navigating, neating the demands of senators manch and sinema, while also keeping the progressive caucus in line. i think putting out the framework ahead of the trip was a way of signaling we've got to wrap this up. here's a framework hopefully everyone can agree to. and i think it's significant the progressive caucus came out and endorsed it even though it did not include things like prepaid family leave, and the number is lower that progressives wanted and progressives are suggesting they will get by via sinema and manchin. but if they don't, you will see the president continue the conversations and maybe even make another visit to the hill. >> if this becomes law and is significant, it could have real impact. the problem the democrats have is they're running now. they're running in virgin

this has been used in europe, in multiple states around the country, and if it becomes standard, we'll have less kids out of school. >> big picture, the question here really is about risk reduction as opposed to risk elimi elimination. for folks who don't know, you run an hiv-aids clinic in san francisco, very different diseases here, but tell us what lessons you've learned about risk reduction as an approach as opposed to risk elimination as it relates to schools and covid. >> yeah, so, you know, this was also a prolonged infection. it turns out covid was much longer than we thought it would be. the idea is that you take people's needs into account, harm reduction, even trying to reduce the incidence of a pathogen. in the case of hiv it meant advising people how to stay safe but still have human contact. in the case of harm reduction with covid, we could have told people how to stay safe, masks, distancing, ventilation all work in schools, for example, but not just tell people to completely stay away from each other. good example, california did not define harm reduction in our approa

we as europe cannot allow belarus to do something like this. from point of view, we could also involve russia. all diplomatic channels should be used. few believe solutions will come quickly. folks at the refugee center said they are preparing for more arrivals and are already clearing additional space. >> want to bring in fred pleitgen who joins me in london. fred, let's talk more about the politics in this. he stated in the piece and hinted at, the eu clearly feels lukashenko is using refugees as pressure on the eu countries. what can the eu actually do here? >> reporter: i think the eu is exploring several things. first you have poland at the border as the eu nation at the border with belarus. they said they're going to continue their hard line. they're going to continue to keep their border hermetically sealed as they put it and they are going to build a border wall. that's also caused big criticism within the european union. one of the things that some of the refugees have told us, and some eu officials say as well, the poles are apparentl

as if there is an opposing view to the systemic slaughter of 6 million juice across german-occupied europe during world war ii. the comments came in a strange session discussing how race and history are described in school. hear the comment by this school administrator geena petty which was secretly recorded by a staff member and obtained by cnn. >> listen. if you have a book on the holocaust, one that has opposing -- >> how do you oppose the holocaust? >> after that question, how do you respond the holocaust petty responded, quote, believe me that's coming up. cnn has reached out to petty for comment but so far we haven't received a response. let's discuss this with cheryl draisen, vice president of the anti-defamation league central division in texas. she's dealing with the school district on this issue right now. just your first initial reaction to that comment. >> thank you, ana. let's be clear. there are no opposing views to the holocaust. we call that holocaust denial, and that is anti-semitic, and we will not tolerate anti-semitism in our schools. >> and so, you know, the thing that
