>> that struck me too, geoff. as we talk about, obviously, moving from the g7, which is our closest national security allies, to the g20, you bring in some of our competitors, as the president would put it, specifically china and russia. of course their leaders are not here. what we will see tomorrow, though, is the president focusing on his closest alliances, especially as we appear to be moving towards something of a breakthrough as it relates to iran potentially coming back to the table to resume some discussions related around their nuclear program. the president will be consulting with the german chancellor, the british prime minister, about their strategy as they move in that direction. we'll also see on the margins of the g20 the president convening a meeting on supply chain issues, we know how important that is internationally but certainly in domestic politics as well. >> my thanks to the three of you. >>> with us now is democratic congresswoman barbara lee of california. she's a member of the progressive

i'm geoff bennett. this friday there is high drama from capitol hill all the way to rome. several breaking headlines coming out of president biden's first day in a critical summit with world leaders. first, the president emerged from a private meeting with the pope, telling reporters that francis told him he's a, quote, good catholic and should keep receiving communion. it's a development that obliterates the argument from some conservative american bishops who say anybody who supports abortion rights should be denied communion. >>> straight from his meeting with pope francis, president biden's first face-to-face sit-down with french president emmanuel macron since the united states blindsided the french by going around their backs to cut a massive nuclear subdeal with the uk and australia. when they found

geoff bennett explains why. >> reporter: tonight a new election showdown in georgia with the state's republican-led election board inching closer to potentially taking over elections in atlanta's fulton county, a democratic stronghold thanks to a provision in georgia's controversial new voting laws. democrats say it is only happening because georgia delivered close victories for president biden and two democratic senators last year. >> we will deliver georgia and fulton county for senator warnock again. so that's why there is focus, there is emphasis on continuing to criticize fulton county and our elections. >> reporter: but republicans, including top election officials, secretary of state brad raffensperger say state oversights will boost voter confidence. >> we never had that accountability issue before where we could replace a county election board if the situation was so severe. >> reporter: he gained national attention for resisting pressure from former president trump to find enough ballots to overturn biden's narrow win in georgia. and he now faces a difficult primary race ag

i'm geoff bennett. and we start this hour with the breaking news out of washington, where today the president and fellow democrats announced a framework on that massive infrastructure and social spending package. we expect to hear the first official reaction from house speaker nancy pelosi at any moment. president biden delayed his flight to meet with the pope at the vatican today, seemingly in order to seal the deal with one last sales pitch on capitol hill, to get everybody on board and push his signature spending plans over the finish line before boarding air force one. today the president made clear compromise is at hand. he is on board even without everything he wanted. >> today i'm pleased to announce that after months of tough and thoughtful negotiations, i think we -- i know we have an historic economic framework. it's a framework that will create millions of jobs, grow the economy, invest in our nation and our people, turn the climate crisis into an opportunity, and put us on a path not only to

>> it certainly would have helped, geoff. i think i heard bob redfield, the previous cdc director, say if he had to do it all over again, he would have added a whole diagnostic program to operation warp speed or would have recommended it and it would have made a big difference. so i'm glad this is happening. it's about a year too late, but at least it's finally happening. and even though the number of new cases is going down now, many of us are expecting an acceleration after the thanksgiving holiday. so, for example, if we had this home kit, an antigen based kit that we could get an answer on, if you're bringing relatives over for thanksgiving or getting together for various holiday events, that could be helpful. or for the schools, if we could do regular testing especially if we don't have vaccine mandates, it adds an extra layer of protection. no doubt it will be helpful. >> let's talk more about covid and kids. the covid vaccine in kids. because pfizer's vaccine data in children ages 5 to 11 will be reviewed tomorrow. mod

try to install geoff clark himself as attorney general, so the clark plan would go ahead. again, to have the doj declares here is fraud in the election, and to direct states to there for now to send their biden electors, it was absolutely insane. it was also a rational plan. they didn't just fall about it, they didn't just fantasize about it, they drafted the letters to the states, he didn't insist on the press conference, justice department officials even tried to on board u.s. attorneys, federal prosecutors in the role living in states, tobacco up on the spear's fraud claims they were going to use, to keep trump in power even though he lost the election. news on this front has been absolutely terrible, as we've learned from all the things that they've tried. but it today, a little glimmer with the news that jeff clark has apparently finally agreed to testify to the committee that is investigating the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. i mentioned that a lot of the clark plot emerged both from public source reporting, particularly in the new york times, but also from

actor geoff meade was on a different project nearby. >> the sheriff came down and said on another set there was a live gun discharge. >> reporter: this has happened before, most notably in 1993. actor brandon lee, son of bruce lee, was killed by a prop gun on the film "the crow." his death ruled accidental and strict new protocols for prop firearms have been in place ever since. live ammunition is never allowed on set. in fact, all firearms are usually handled by a licensed armorer who then oversees everything. so how this went so wrong this time, nobody knows. raj. >> jennifer bjorklund reporting for us down in los angeles. thank you, jennifer. >>> we mentioned the director, joel souza, from fremont. he's best known for "crown vic." he also wrote the movie "rust," the movie he's filming with alec baldwin. souza lives here in the bay area with his wife and two kids. >>> a split decision today from the u.s. supreme court over texas' abortion law. the court will not immediately block the law but it will hear arguments in the case november 1st. at that time the justices will decide wheth

>> geoff, this is really not a republican or democratic issue. this is a bipartisan issue. if we allow a few to convince our voters that their voting voice is not being heard or is irrelevant to the outcome, what's their next logical step? they step home and don't participate. this country was built on participation. too many people have fought and died for us to have that opportunity. and i'm just not going to stand idly by which watch these vocal few destroy our country. >> so you're a republican. what do you make of your party's embrace of donald trump's election lies? do you see that as a danger to democracy itself? >> you know, once again, i don't see it as a party embracing. i've heard our governor, i've heard our secretary of state, myself, you know, the election that we conducted in the state of florida was by far the most secure election we've ever done. in the words of governor desantis, the way florida did it should be the role model for the rest of the country, and i firmly believe that. >> your letter actually appears to purposely not name the former president

geoff: precisely. the reason i thought euro-sterling would outperform it will be difficult for the banks to hike into fiscal tightening for all the things we listed. tax increases amongst other things as well so that was already difficult. if they do things early and compound the situation, household cash flow will face serious restraints the next six month or so. if you hike into that, you risk data falling off. what is the rush? why not wait until we get a better picture of income growth? then they can move accordingly. alix: is there another central bank looking at a policy mistake? it does seem it is on a removing accommodation trajectory. geoff: i would not say so. within g10, the boe probably stands out. central and eastern europe is looking interesting. they are hiking aggressively as well. can they see the labor market in the region continue to recover at a stronger clip? that is where i am looking for potential u-turns as well. guy: how high would you put the possibility recession in the next
