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

therefore, europe is not as heavily reliant on turkey when it comes to the economy as turkey is on europe. and against that backdrop, also worth mentioning the turkish economy has been struggling for quite sometime now. so should europe choose to do so, it does have a number of other potential pressure points that it can try to put on turkey. that being said, this ongoing back and forth over the detention of oswan kavala has been going on a number of time with countries calling for his release, with this fairly unprecedented it must be said statement that was signed by the ten countries asking for his release, asking for the decision that was taken by the european court for human rights to be upheld. that was a decision that called for kavala's immediate release. and turkey being a member of the european counsel is, in theory, supposed to uphold that decision. a lot of human rights organizations, outside observers, analysts are calling this a political move to try to continue to tamp down on voices of opposition and dissent throughout turkey. kavala is hardly the first person who has spok

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

i think it's important that we lead by example, and so if we go to europe and say that the rest of the world has to be aligned with our principles and our guidance with regards to the environment and we're not agreeing to them ourselves, that's a real bad message to set out there so it's much more than one person wielding power than the construct of government or of congress here. it has global implications as well. >> congressman, thanks so much for joining us this sunday. >> thanks, fredericka. >> appreciate it. always good to see you. >>> the high-stakes virginia governor's race is now in the home stretch. voters will head to the polls in just nine days to cast votes in this closely watched race between terry mcauliffe and glen youngkin. for more on that lets bring in dan mericka. yesterday some pretty big rallies and both sides brought out a pretty good crowd. >> yeah, a big event here today in charlottesville where behind me the dave matthews band performed and stacey abrams spoke on mcauliffe's behalf. it's interesting the difference between the final messages and the similaritie

what he panted for the bill to pass when he got to europe and that didn't happen. the separate bill that framework put out would expand the nation's social safety yet. progressives would not support the bill when it goes to the floor for a vote unless it is voted for the same time or at least within hours of the separate bill. they also want assurances from or to democratic senators who have not said yet where they stand in the framework out of the economic bill. those two senators being joe manchin of west virginia and sinema from arizona. we don't know where senator manchin is on this. he put out a framework and said it was a positive statement. he did not outright endorse this framework. the thing is they want to pass these two bills at the sam e time. that will expire december 3. that is the new day that this will expire. the debt ceiling and funding for the government will run out. these are three major issues leaders will have to address when they come back and have to work on this through the next few weeks. talking the debt ceiling and funds running out. le

and millions of women across the country are wondering how the president can go to europe and explain that we are going to be one of six countries that don't have paid family leave because one guy says he doesn't want it. i don't know how you explain that. so, look, we haven't drawn red lines, but i just think we need to be really thinking about what we're saying about the united states' leadership with this bill. and the best course of action is to keep negotiating. we are close, but beer not there yet. so let's finish the negotiations and then let's vote both the bif and build back better act out of the house with a commitment from the senate that they're going to do it. we all put together this billionaires tax and senator sinema said she was okay with that. then senator manchin said he didn't like it. so this is what we're dealing with. and this is why we need to have the two of them come to agreement with the rest of us and with the president. we've made tremendous concessions to get them there, but now they need to step up and recognize that we all need the build back better act

he is heading to europe. that is in just 10 days now. so the white house wants to make major progress if not be able to reach a deal before then. one of the reasons of course the cop 26 summit in scotland that the president is attending. he wants to show up saying the u.s. will take major steps to reduce greenhouse gases. >>> we have new cnn reporting on efforts to get president biden to take a more forceful public role in bringing together the warring factions that are atlanta to go sink his domestic agenda. we have cnn senior reporter ed war isaac dovier joining us. i see you a bunch on tv. now you're ours. welcome to cnn. your inaugural live shot. i do want to hear what you are hearing from democrats. >> look, as jeremy was saying, this is a critical period for the agenda to either happen or not happen. and democrats on the hill are starting to say we need joe biden to step in and say, okay, we know what he wanted originally. what does he want in the final deal, what does this look like. a call last week between house speaker nancy pe

attend the house democratic caucus meeting on capitol hill in the morning delaying his departure in europe to twist the arms to. in another development, paid family and medical leave may be out of the social safety net bill. it's a key corner stone of president biden's agenda, and a favorite of progressives but senator joe manchin appears to be determined to block it. also tonight, santa fay 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. let's get straight to washington, cnn's john harwood. charlie dent as well. both men are in d.c. good to see both of you. president biden is hours away from the critical foreign trip that he is heading out on. he's been pushing to get these bills over the finish line before he leaves. 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

., across europe and north america and australia and new zealand to trace the rise of polarization over the last 40 years and they found in many -- half the countries, about six of the 12, polarizations actually declined even as social media use has gone up. the u.s. is quite unique among those 12 countries seeing a much higher increase in polarization over the past four decades. i think simply saying it's got to be because of some social media apps people use i think is woefully simplistic. >> but it's a factor, it's a factor. >> sure. >> that's where i come back to the original connection, are you willing to acknowledge you contributed to this in some form? >> of course the way people exchange information now takes place online. of course, we as one of the largest social media platforms have a responsibility to understand where we contribute to negative and extreme content, hate speech, misinformation, so on. and i have explained to you already some of the i think really successful things we've done to bear down on hate speech. we worked with fact checkers on a scale no one else does

. >> you're flying to europe i think in eight days. >> yes. >> do you think you'll have a deal by the time you get on air force one in eight days? >> it's like my asking you are you sure your next show's going to be a success? >> yes. >> you're more confident than i am. look, it's all about compromise. compromise has become a dirty word. but bipartisanship and compromise still has to be possible. when i ran for the presidency i said i'm going to run for three reasons. one, to restore the soul and decency in the country. two, to build the middle class and working class so we build from the middle out. and three, to actually unite the country. and everybody's been saying, well, that's crazy. you can't do it. if we can't eventually unite this country, we're in deep trouble. >> bottom line, do you think you'll eventually get a deal? >> i do think i'll get a deal. >> all right. let's go to the audience. this is nicholas vaught. he's the coordinator of the applied liberal studies program at morgan state university. he's a democrat. >> morgan state. all right, man. i've spoken there. [ cheer

and europe vis-a-vis china. there is a difference in the approach. and that's why i'm advocating for a stronger coordination between european countries on the united states, to enter the key strategic question, how to deal with china over the next decade. and i think that, first of all, we should reinforce the cooperation between the u.s. and european countries. second, we should have a list of issues and make differences between the question of the human rights, the question of trade, the question of access to market, so that we can try to find solutions on every topic instead of having the global approach. >> okay. engagement has been tried for decades really with china. that's an argument you hear, entering china's entrance into the wto. >> and you get some results. >> but china's trade practices did not miraculously became fairer. >> i'm not explaining that we are satisfied with china. i'm just explaining that engagement is for us, for the french president, for all european countries the right approach. and it can give some reserves. let's just g

europe has virtually no meaningful military force to introduce in this part of the world, and europe largely sees asia and particularly china through the prism of economic and commercial ties. i think we're going to run into real problems trying to line the europeans up it work with us. losing my voice here fareed, sorry. >> no worries. anne-marie, what about richard point, particularly in light of merkel leaving after 16 years in germany. the europeans don't have the capacity to project any kind of military force without american help. and they don't seem that interested in having a kind of larger world role. they're largely internally eu focused. is it a fool's errand to try to get the europeans to play a larger, more active, strategic role? >> no. as i just said, the french after the united states have the largest naval experience in the south pacific. if we were going to make a deal with australia and britain, yes, i understand that we had better technology, but we should have included the french in thinking about the south pacific as a strategic arena and the british, particular

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

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

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

in europe there is a shortage of natural gas that has caused natural gas prices in europe to explode to their highest level ever. prices in michigan fell, i think in some cases to $1.30 a gallon. it shut down production. they let tens of thousands of workers go, why they shutdown so much production. >> the ifferocity caught everyby by surprise. the cartel decided to gradually increase output. that means prices continue higher. >>> and in the air, a fifth day of trouble for southwest. the airline cancelling more than 2,000 flights and delayed nearly 40% of its flights monday. the cause of this whole mess is still unclear. some customers have taken matters into their own hands. one couple rented a u-haul and drove nine hours to get home to kansas. and with staffing shortages crushing this industry nationwide, passengers can expect moreh headaches get into the holiday season. cnn's pete muntean has more from the international airport. >> reporter: this is a mess for southwest airlines. it is not like flipping on a switch to get things back to normal. this is more akin to unplugging the

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

if anything there's a lot of questions in europe about his capacity, his authority to get things done. and you know, he went -- the real damage was done because he didn't bring a victory to europe with him. now he's playing catchup. and you know, they get back, but i -- yes, i think it would definitely help him if he gets the deal done. there's a question of reliability among americans. can you deliver? if we get in a conversation with iranians, will you go to a deal that really will stick, that, you know, even if somebody from another party is elected, will that deal still stick? you can't get the iranians to agree to very much unless they have some sense of reliability. and that's true of other hard issues that are coming. like the environment. >> kim dozier, looking at the iran deal, the word is it's possible. that's not a helpful word to me because anything is possible. it's about probabilities. and what do you think that america's role is moving forward with iran? >> you know, yes,'s possible to get them all in the same room again in november, as both sides have hinted. but the f

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
