pelosi signing it there. it's now been signed into law by president joe biden, just hours before the government funding was to run outs. but another test of job items agenda does lay ahead is the house of representatives prepared to vote on a trillion dollar infrastructure plan? how did you cast for more from capitol hill? the democrats who control the house are divided on whether or not to support this bill. ironically, they all appear to agree that what it contains is good for the country. they support the bill, but they just don't support what time to vote on it. liberal democrats wants another bill to be voted on 1st. the bigger package that really contains the majority of president biden's domestic agenda, which is the expansion of government that this country hasn't seen in decades. in other news, the united states is condemning ethiopia for expelling 7 senior united nations officials. washington says one, hesitate to use sanctions against those obstructing humanitarian efforts. the you and staff have b

the problem is nancy pelosi was almost certainly going to bring the infrastructure bill to the house or on thursday night, really she didn't have the votes because the progressive democratic caucus said we're not supporting it until you do the other bill. and that as where we are, so there's a bit of an impasse that democrats have really got to sort there. so as for the republicans essentially sitting back saying, go get the popcorn. let's watch how this plays out because they think again is, could be bad news. for joe biden, but particularly for the democrats, come the midterms in 2022 and much more importantly. it could be bad news for the democrats who are currently trying to keep the go. the governorship of virginia, that election is already underway with the votes counted, and the final votes counted in november, so they have a real political reason to try make sure that the infrastructure bill goes through, because everyone agrees that needed, but also the $3.00 trillion dollar bill, which could change the face of benefits here in the united states. okay. alan fisher at the whi

so nancy pelosi as no juggling both sides. they, some people see this as a failure of american democracy. there are others who would suggest this is exactly how democracy is meant to what that on one hand you say i want this and then the other person says, you know, that's a really good idea. but i think is too expensive. let's negotiate and that's what's happening at the moment. both sides of the democratic party on negotiating to see which bill goes fast. when the democrats doing, essentially standing back saying, go get the popcorn. this could be good waiting to see what the democrats finally come up with. and the democrats are aware this has, could have political implications for jo biden's popularity for them in the 2020 to mid term elections, but also more urgently in the gum notorious race. and virginia, where the republicans hope to take the seat back, the state back from the democrat. so the democrats really want get this done quickly, the lower the infrastructures important. they know that the $3.00 trillion dollar,

and so nancy pelosi and the democrats in the house are worried about bringing the infrastructure bill to the floor. what he, that could be defeated, that would be the end of the infrastructure bill. joe biden desperately wants, as he wants one, a bipartisan bill that says, look, we can work together for the benefit of america. but he also wants to get infrastructure up and running so he can deliver on a campaign promise. and so he's going to go to the hell and he's going to speak to a few people. no, there was no progressive caucus who seemed to be holding this up. they say that joe biden has been talking to them throughout the process. and there are some who say, well, this is a sane of american put, excuse me, political dysfunction. it's kind of not because of course, in democracy, if you've got an idea you've got to try and sell it to the other site and sometimes to even members of your own site. so that's what's going on at the moment, joe biden, on his way to hit the hill and the next her trying to get this log jam. moving with either the infrastructure bill of the spending bill

and we also have heard from the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, who is noting that coven 19, than the pandemic, has taken the lives of so many great americans. this being no exception, but reminding oh ordinary americans about the enormous loss of life that has occurred saying as we pray for general powells love, once we pray for the 725000 americans that have been taken from this vicious virus . and of course, a cannot be underscore the importance of colin powell when it came to breaking racial barriers when it comes to public service and barack obama. former president noting this, talking about how he helped a generation of young people set their sights higher. he refused to accept that race would limit his dream. so certainly he is be remembered as someone that all could look up to and even inspired those that are currently in office, including the secretary of state antony blank and as well as the defense secretary lloyd austin, take listen security. paul was simply completely a leader and he knew how to build a strong and united team. he treated people the way he expected the

so one of the other reactions that we is coming in right now is from nancy. pelosi, the house speaker, who acknowledges that, well, the vaccine can certainly mitigate some of the risks. it doesn't eliminate them entirely. she says, as we pray for the general powells loved ones, we pray for the families of the nearly 725000 americans who have been taken from us by this vicious virus. it is a reminder of the toll of this pandemic touching all areas and aspects of society. right. and how our americans, we've heard the political reactions of course, but how americans remembering column power. well overall he is being remembered as very kind, generous man who led by example. well he was. 8 very much ground breaking in terms of the racial barriers. the positions that he held that no african american had held prior. what was significant is that he let his work speak for itself that he was as comfortable talking with kings and queens as a diplomat, as he was the mechanic that would fix his car at the side of the road when he was famously fixing a rug flat tire in an ordinary american sop to h

nancy pelosi acknowledging that coven 19 has taken another great american pointing out that as we pray for general powers, loved ones, we pray for the 725000 americans taken by this vicious virus and barack obama acknowledging the color barriers that general colin powell broke with so many of the positions he accepted as a 1st and a number of administration saying that he helped a generation of young people set their sights higher. he refused to accept that race would limit his dreams. so this isn't the how colin powell is be remembered and it should be noted that he always let his work speak for himself that he was very humble and, and showed that humility throughout anything that he did and any post that he held . and he served both a republican presidents but also endorsed democratic president for office, given the fact he put his duty to country, not to political party, something that is so rare. now in a divided america, as he said, kimberly he said to have died of coverage related complications, even though he was double vaccinated. what is his family said? his family made a poin

they're going to pass it to the floor of the house. likely it's going to pass the floor, nancy pelosi, the speaker of the household, and refer the matter to the u. s. attorney in washington. who will work with the attorney general. they will that need to, under the statute convene a grand jury, and for grand jury comes back and says, yes, there's enough for this criminal charge. then there's a trial. and again, the justice system moves incredibly slowly. so if there is a trial and he's found guilty, could face up to a $100000.00 fine or up to a year in jail. i so it obviously pretty high stakes. the bigger point here is the democrats and in this committee want to send the message to all the other trump associates, that they're going to play hardball, that they are going to try and get you jail time if you don't comply. so at the beginning of a process, but a very high stakes one at that. all right, a particle hang live for sand, washington patty, thank you. at least 50 people have been killed in a road accident in southern democratic republic of congo just to passengers survived. when

nancy pelosi has that to deal with. that's the cards she's got to deal with. she's got to make sure that everyone's happy. and if she gets both bills through the house for joe biden, then she can see she got phil house. thank you so much and i as alan fisher putting thanks, alan. ah you k has summoned the french ambassador after the seizure of a fishing boat and threat of sanctions in a row over the right to catch fish in u k. waters. the dispute is over zone in the english channel, 6 to 12 multiple miles from the british shore. francais, several vessels have been denied access because they couldn't prove they'd fish that before breaks it. it's not the 1st time fishing has been a problem. in may, british navy boats were sent to jersey when french trawlers threatened to blockade the channel islands main entry port. and it's far from the last breaks at round or the last concerning food, the status of northern ireland and exports in and out of europe. and within the u. k, causing contention as well. andrew simmons has more now on the fish fight. a put is trula se

so joe biden then flew off to europe, essentially leaving nancy pelosi to coordinate the voice. but seeing he has a framework, the having a framework in actually delivering in the end. there still a bit of work to go and given that there's been a lot of talk about this, he would like to see a when, by the time you arrives in rome, certainly by the time the g 7 gets under way, there's no guarantee that will happen the u. k. some of the french ambassador admitted deepening route of a post breaks at fishing rides is comes ours off to a french authorities seized a bush taller operating in french territorial war, says scout dredge was escorted to the northern portion however, where its crew fell to prove they have the correct fishing licenses. the un security council is calling on sedans, military leaders to restore the civilian lead transitional government. the council issued its 1st statement on the christ is expressing serious concern about the takeover. the stock shows of condemnation cruelly under fatality hahn is dismissed at the fix on bassett is off today, spoke count against

now there's talk that nancy pelosi is going to keep everyone on the hill over the weekend to get the infrastructure bill through. and then to get this 2nd bill through which is the bill back. better act as it will become no one. they want to deliver a victory to joe by before he gets to glasgow before he starts talking climate change because there are big provisions to protect the climate in that bill. and he wants to be able to go to glasgow and say, look, we're doing it. others need to do as well if the 2nd biggest economy in the world can do it. every one else can do it too, so you've got to get behind action to fight climate change. thank you so much, allen, for sir. reporting from the white house now. tar bosses from some of the world's most powerful oil and gas companies are answering questions at the u. s. senate for their firms roles and climate change. show x m o b, p, and chevron. all the choose the funding campaigns that downplayed their effects on the environment. for decades, the session comes days before the call 26 climate gathering in glasgow. how does the castro has

nancy pelosi has got to decide which she brings up fast and, and that could dictate what happens on capitol hill over the next 4 or 5 days. joe biden would like this to happen pretty soon. nancy pelosi is already talking about keeping everyone in the hill to get these votes done by the beginning of the week. joe biden would love to arrive in glasgow and say, look, look what we've done in the united states. we're combating climate change. we're the world's biggest economy. you guys have to help with this as well. and you need to do the similar sort of thing that we've done. you would love that. there's no guarantee that that's going to happen at the moment. there's still a lot of talking to go on, you'd think, after 9 months, all the arguments have been exhausted. this is american politics and 2021. buckle up and hold on. all right, thank you so much. sharon fisher reported from the white house a we spoke to jason nichols earlier, his a democratic strategist. and he says that initially the president's build back better plan was not presented well to the public. i think had he gone out there

so could all come crashing down if they don't get full support, which is why nancy pelosi has been cracking, not metaphorical wit. today she's been trying to get people on board. joe biden delayed his flight to head for the vatican to meet the pope by a few hours so that he could try and make the case personally. but now as he comes into land, he's finding that perhaps things are not as sewn up as he thought they were. well as phil was saying, despite still dealing with his domestic agenda, joe biden has now arrived in rome to meet wild leaders of the g. 20 summit, his due to hold talks also with pope francis in the coming hours. after the 2 day gathering, the u. s. president will then head to glasgow for you and climate scientists on the president of the european commission has told al 0 the e u is working hard to prioritize ways of easing cove at 19 vaccine in equity. as lavonne de lyons spoke to us ahead of the g 20 summit in italy, and that climate conference in glasgow up 26 will be a moment of truth because we all know that we are not on track yet to fight climate change. we are runni

so it could all come crashing down if they don't get full support, which is why nancy pelosi has been cracking that metaphorical width. today she's been trying to get people on board. joe biden delayed his flight to head for the vatican to meet the pope by a few hours so that he could try and go make the case personally. but now, as he comes into land, he's finding that perhaps things are not as soon as he thought they were lozzo saying that despite still dealing with his domestic agenda, joe biden has now arrived in rome to meet wild leaders at the g. 20 summit. he is due to hold talks with pipe frances, in the coming hours. and then after the 2 day gathering that the u. s. president will head to glasgow for you and climate senate. well, let's be to our white house correspondent committee, how kit is in rome for us. kimberly, put francis has already been making statements about climate change ahead of the cops on that. is that potentially likely to come up in his meeting with president biden? do you think there's no question that climate change is something that the pope, along with

because it seems as though that the house speak and nancy pelosi is keen to, to get a vote organized as soon as possible. i and she is not particularly happy marian, i mean she gave a press conference where it was quite clear how frustrated she is. she said her fuse is running low on this whole issue. and here's why, you know, you got these 2 separate bills, but they're also kind of like, i'll just explain why it's quite completed. you've got the build back path, a plan that alex just talking about, that you've got this infrastructure bill, which is worth $1.00 trillion dollars and what this infrastructure bill does. it speaks to all of those points that joe biden made, remember year ago when he was campaigning to be president, he said, i'm going to reach across the aisle. i'm going to work with republicans. we're going to work together to make stuff happen. and that's what this restrict infrastructure bill does. he's got the buy in from republicans, he's got the backing, but now we're in the position where somebody's outside looks like they may stop there. so they may hold out, whic

so you know elliott, nancy pelosi, she was not very happy. she said that her patience was wearing thin. she said that her fuse is running low. you can only imagine how close the fuse might be blowing. now, blowing now that she's had this latest development because these are 2 separate bills . but they're all so kind of linked that it's quite convoluted, but i'll just explain why he called the bill. the album is just referring to the build a better plan than you've got this infrastructure bill, which is worth $1.00 trillion dollars. now this infrastructure bill speak to all of those points. remember a year ago, joe biden campaigning to be president saying i will reach out across the io. i will work with republicans. and that's exactly what he's doing here. he's got the buy in from republicans, but now he's got the problem that some within his own party, or he's saying that they won't vote for this bill without the build better plan again like we just had. and that statement. and the reason for that is because there are some elements on the bui

so it could all come crashing down if they don't get full support, which is why nancy pelosi has been cracking that metaphorical whit. today she's been trying to get people on board. joe biden delayed his flight to head for the vatican to meet the pope by a few hours so that he could try and go make the case personally. but now as he comes into land, he's finding that perhaps things are not as so not as he thought they were. the top you, us diplomat in taiwan has stressed washington's commitment to help the island defend itself. sandra and kirk, the scribe relations, which i pay as rock solids. the u. s. supplies taiwan with military hardware and training. taiwan president, sighing, when confirmed on thursday, american forces were present on the islands. we continue to have a shared and a fighting interest in peace and stability across the taiwan street. the u. s. considers this central to the security and stability of the broader india pacific region and the united states. and we are deeply concerned by ongoing p r. c. efforts to undermine that stability. our commitment to taiwan is

so, you know, nancy pelosi has spent all day here in washington. she's been trying to rally the troops. she's been saying to these guys, look, you know, do not embarrass the president. she's been calling that bluff and saying, you have to vote on this infrastructure bill. and i want this vote help tonight and the last hour or so we've progressives, come out and say, we're not going to vote on this bill tonight. so she's now realized that she's got a much bigger fight ahead of her than she had planned, joe biden. meanwhile, he's been in the apple most of the day and you know, that phrase, how long as a week in politics, a lot can happen a week. never mind, not probably what can happen in a day because a huge amount has happened in the day, and this is all looking very uncertain for joe biden, as he professed but such down in rome. phil laval there from washington dc. now the u. k. has some of the french ambassador after the seizure of the british fishing vessel over dispute involving fishing licenses, that the dispute is over a zone in the english c
