are we expected to hear from joe biden well for the 1st time the u.s. president is expected to officially recognize the armenian genocide now this would mark a major shift in u.s. diplomatic policy because up until now u.s. leaders have instead referred to those events of over a century ago as a great evil but on friday president biden held a phone call with president of on of turkey now reuters news agency is reporting that during that cold biden told of on that he will in fact be making an announcement to officially recognize the armenian genocide we'll find out in a matter of hours if he does and if he follows through on that it would also mark the fulfillment of a campaign promise made by biden the candidate on the trail campaign trail as the one year ago today but this is a highly contentious issue right turkey categorically rejects the term genocide and what could this do to you. usar accumulations well we got an idea of that back in 2019 when the u.s. congress although not the president passed the resolution to recognize the armenian genocide and

president joe biden tougher greener and even meaner than the world was expecting if anyone thought joe biden would put the restoration of america's role in the world on the back burner while he deals with domestic issues they were in for a big disappointment from the start biden has taken a hard line with america's main rivals he has refused to lift sanctions on iran as a condition for restarting nuclear talks trade tariffs on china are still in place and u.s. diplomats have visited taiwan biden impose new sanctions on russia for interference in the 2020 alexion is and when asked if he considered russian president vladimir putin to be a killer he said without hesitation i do biden said there would be consequences for saudi arabia after u.s. intelligence concluded the saudi crown prince had been responsible for the murder of a u.s. journalist and critics point out that they are still waiting to see the consequences candidate biden promised to bring america back has president biden kept his word he used chief international editor richard walker has this report. during the trump years the

this morning it might not be joe biden or zee others. how about joe manchin. he's putting himself in the middle of passing the $2 trillion bill. he indicated overnight he's opposed to passing key legislation on strict party votes, that he is alarmed by that process. and since we haven't heard any republican saying they support the white house infrastructure plan just yet, that puts it in serious, serious peril. later this morning the president will announce his first executive actions on guns in response to the latest flurry of mass shootings. >>> meanwhile the united states reporting more than 70,000 new coronavirus cases. hospitalizations climbing to their highest level in a month, and the cdc confirming that the highly contagious variant which was first identified in the united kingdom is now the most common strain of the coronavirus here in the united states. despite that, the cdc director says she believes all children will be back in classrooms by september. let's beginning with jeremy diamond who's live at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: sen

but you are hearing from people like senator joe manchin, saying they have questions how big joe biden is trying to go. but he is reasoning that, not in washington, but on the road today here in georgia for this first stop. he's going to pennsylvania tomorrow. he's got several more stops planned for next week, because what they're focusing on is selling it as -- i heard you talking about this transformational moment. they view it that way, but he sees an opening given the pandemic and given the economic disaster that followed that, see thing is a spot where they can succeed in getting a plan like this through with what he envisions. whether or not that happens still remains to be seen. how do american voters feel about this? we saw the polling on the coronavirus relief bill. that relief bill paired with the infrastructure bill and paired with the american families plan is about $6 trillion in spending. that's a whole lot of spending. so i think that is going to be a massive question facing them. but the way joe biden was trying to sell it here tonight, and what we are hearing from offi

joe biden again, 37 years in the senate. four decades thinking he should be the person delivering the state of the union address or it is not officially a state of the union address. but let's not forget history of tonight with the female speaker of the house and female vice president. that's a big deal. an optic for the country and the world. i do think, this is a competition of ideas. it is a competition of politics. we're sitting here at the end of april 2021. everybody in this town, and this is what america gets annoyed about washington, is already thinking about the mid-term elections. joe biden saying, i told you. i would reverse this vaccine will rollout. we would get vaccines in arms. i told you. now trust me as i want to do more. he's trying to get the american people to buy in. okay, the first 100 days worked. let's continue this approach. senator scott was trying to pull that back. he was saying, oh, no, no, we did some of this stimulus back in the trump administration. and president trump does deserve credit for

i'm here in the home of 12 to the program joe biden has outlined what he called his blue blueprint to build america and his 1st speech to congress as u.s. president biden discussed his plans to reduce poverty and invest in infrastructure to create jobs. he also stressed the need for the u.s. to reassert its place in the well it's both economically and politically we all know life can knock us down but in america we never ever ever stay down americans always get up today that's what we're doing america's rising to do choosing hope over fear truth over lies and light over darkness after 100 days of rescue read old america is ready for takeoff in my view we're working again dreamy again discovered again and leading the world again we have shown each other around the world that there's no quit in america non. these all of the scientists joins us from washington d.c. so all of the what did you make of the speech. well certainly a speech of reassurance and all fold and what we really saw there was the joe biden has an agenda and that is strengthening the middle class because this is exactly

welcome to the program joe biden started his time as u.s. president with lofty ambitions he pledged to bring the country out of the pandemic to fight racial justice injustice and to make a quote once in a generation investment creating what he calls the strongest most resilient and innovative economy in the world $100.00 days and he's poised to wreck up quite a bill 6 trillion dollars that's the whole the cost of biden's spending proposal so far this year the 1st $1.00 trillion dollars has already begun flowing into the economy including $1400.00 stimulus checks for many americans he's also proposed a $2.00 trillion dollars infrastructure bill it aims to update it in roads and bridges while also improving internet and electric vehicle networks and then that $1.00 trillion dollars bill and to improve child care and access to education mr biden plans to pay for this by raising taxes increasing the corporate rate to 28 percent and the top rate for america's wealthiest to almost 40 percent own want impose any tax increase on people making less t

that's where joe biden is strongest. where is he weak? non-call edge degree, men, whites and conservative. you would think largely the trump coalition, president biden has a lot of work to do to win them over there, if he can. campaign promises, so far the american people think this president, 6 in 10 americans think he's doing a good job of keeping his campaign promises, and by and large 6 in 10 americans say this president is keeping his campaign promises so far. let's bring into our conversation right now to share their insights, a republican pollster among the co-founders of public opinion strategies. this is the world we live in, right? joe biden is not going to have an approval rating like george w. bush or barack obama because we lived in polarized time. you focus on the middle of the electorate. why is that so important and how strong is this, 57% approval among independents? >> very strong, and even stronger, 60% among independents on covid, and we have independents for the first time positive on the economy, and they are the one

trying to turn trump's big lie on joe biden. saying, joe biden's lying about what's in georgia's new-voting law, that restricts ballot access. >> he is lying about this bill. he is lying to the american people about it. to cause the raging fire he said he was going to put out. >> it all started with joe biden's big lie. >> it is a jedi-mind trick. okay. i want you to think about this, right? think of it. joe biden's lie -- big lie. republicans are, suddenly, concerned about lies? when they never even acknowledged the former guy? was and is a serial liar. now, they're, like, oh, my god, joe biden is lying! really, republicans? did someone introduce the word lie, back, into your vocabulary recently? because, before, you were like, lie? what's that mean? lie? never heard of the word. now, you're concerned about lies? come on, now. okay. so, and the premise of all these laws, we have to remember, over the country, was actually built on the election-fraud lie. so now, they are saying it's joe biden's lie. when all these laws, built o

that after a recent spate of mass shootings president joe biden announces his 1st gun control measures he moves to tighten some regulations but warns much more is needed. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us the number of refugees fleeing the military's violent crackdown in myanmar is rising india should india shares a 600 kilometer border with me on mar with strong ethnic and cultural ties between local communities on both sides so india might seem the natural destination for those forced to leave their homes but can those who end up there feel at home we meet one woman and her daughters who have settled in the indian capital delhi a warning some viewers may find this report to starving. for the last 6 years and her girls have felt safe here in delhi but it didn't come easy to get here they had to leave everything behind in their need of man much when he says her husband was tortured and killed by the military. later they were forced to run for their lives after they were caught sheltering students protesting against the military now the situation in myanmar is bringing bac

it's joe biden let's move. it's clearly joe's push. some think it's odd to be putting all of his muscle behind infrastructure right now, but that's clearly joe biden's decision. there is a certain decisiveness here with him on these actions, evan, and i'm curious why you think that is. >> you know, what we're seeing in some ways is a guy who's been thinking about what it means to be president for a very long time. he's thought about presidents who have had a big imprint on history and those who did not. he's met recently with historians. he thinks about what it is that could actually change how americans think of one another and of our relationship to the government, and so that's what drives a lot of these choices. he knows that a lot of them are politically, in some cases, difficult, they're risky and might not work, and ultimately whether he can achieve these is going to come down to whether he can get the votes. but he really believes over the years democrats have often negotiated against themselves, carved down their ambitions, re

president joe biden delivers his 1st speech to a joint session of congress he declares america is rising a new as he highlights the progress made against the current pandemic and unveils details of a $1.00 trillion dollars package for families and education also coming up. as india sets another world record in new coronavirus cases pushing its health system far beyond its limits we speak to a volunteer working on the front lines of the pandemic. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us joe biden has pitched his proposals for what he calls a once in a generation investment in america and his 1st speech to congress says u.s. president he outlined sweeping plans to increase wages and create more jobs he also stressed the need for the u.s. to reassert its place in the world saying it must show its adversaries that democracy still works listen to what he had to say. we all know life can knock us down but in america we never ever ever stay down americans always get up today that's what we're doing america's rising to do choosing hope over fear truth over lies and light over darkness aft

>> i think joe biden did a great job. you know, in d.c., we often say that this night is a night that kind of lays the foundation for 2022 and 2024. but what joe biden did was really talk to people, who are suffering and who are in pain right now. and have been, for quite some time. but one thing that i thought was really interesting is, as i was listening to, particularly, like, that first-35 minutes, 40 minutes of the speech that really talked about the economy. it felt like that speech was written for women. moms and women, who have been impacted so much by this pandemic. being at home. really, bearing the brunt of childcare. and so, it -- it wasn't ironic, i don't think, that there are two women behind him making history. i also thought it was, you know, unique that he took the time to identify the asian-american/pacific islander community. transgender individuals. african-americans. immigrants. he really, really met the moment. i would -- my only critique would be, and that i was expecting a little bit more, he did t

s chief international editor richard walker gives joe biden a foreign policy report card. during the trump years the u.s. embassy here in berlin was like a fortress of america 1st led by a loyalist who lived and breathed that mantra now it's all changed and joe biden has a very different message for the world let's break it down. america is back 1st of all a slogan biden has been saying over and over america is back the transatlantic alliance is back sure enough the 1st visit by a biden official to berlin was something of a love in defense secretary lloyd austin tore up donald trump's plan to cut american troops in german bases and even announced an increase but while america is back is resonating here in europe in afghanistan it's the opposite biden has ordered u.s. troops to pull out this september many afghans now fear a taliban takeover biden always says that he is with the people of afghanistan they have a low to the american and nato forces in the country for 20 years and by withdrawing unconditionally from of congress and the people there are being abandoned that af

on foreign policy joe biden said that the u.s. was competing to win the 21st century any idea what he means by that well based off of what he said in the past his domestic policy he believes is tied into his foreign policy so if other countries see that democracy in the u.s. is working then. i just lost my train of thought i'm so sorry. so that you're talking about the 21st century century. well i mean let's look at what the president was saying with with reference to democracy also when he also referred to the storming of the u.s. capitol by that mall on january 6th that really shocked the world and he said it also gave some solace to america's enemies i mean how heavily does that weigh on the administration well deeply because they're still doing the investigation to catch people who did attack the capitol and he called it the worst attack our democracy has seen since the civil war so if for him he really wants the rest of the world to see america work and that democracy works that there isn't just a standstill that both sides o

joe biden flipped jae. joe biden flipped arizona. it's incumbent on you to come more toward us but we don't live in that washington. >> no. and it was pretty clear that from day one, given the way joe biden was brought into office and what happened on capitol hill with the insurrection and the storming of it and how those republicans that you just saw there acted in response to that, including kevin mccarthy of course who has made several comments in recent days, deflecting the former prepo president's responsibility. brought the question of what the bipartisanship was going to look lick. the white house has invited republicans over to meet about certain proposals, the coronavirus relief bill and you saw those republicans come to the mic and ever since they've had those meetings we have not seen republican lawmakers come to the mikes to speak to reporters after. they're trying to navigate this relationship with the white house while appearing like they are putting forth proposals but the big question is does joe biden get what he wan

trying to turn trump's big lie on joe biden saying joe biden's lying about what's in georgia's new voting law that restricts ballot access. he's lying about this bill, he's lying to the american people about it to cause the raging fire he said he was going to put out. >> it all started with joe biden's big lie. >> it is a jedi mind trick. >> okay, think about this. joe biden's big lie. republicans are suddenly concerned about lies? when they never even acknowledged the former guy? was and is a serial liar -- and now they're like joe biden is a liar. really, republicans? what is that? lie? i never heard of the word. now you are concerned about lies? come on now. okay, so the premise of all these laws we have to remember over the country was actually built on the election fraud lie. so now they're saying joe biden's lie when all these laws built on a lie. as i said it is quite the jedi mind trick yet it is easy to expose. >>> also the all-star game, joe biden never called the game to be removed and it was a big lie, that's what they're saying. joe biden answered a question about the mlb. ml

joe biden, it may be that we learn when all the facts come out, that all joe biden's justice department did was get out of the way of an investigation that was rolling down the tracks to begin with. >> john harwood, gloria can borger, elliot williams, thank you all. we have much more ahead on this breaking news. >> we sure do. >>> plus, a judge has just decided that the family of andrew brown jr. will get to see the body cam video of his death, but the public will not. van jones joins us live to discuss. >>> president biden's first address to joint session of congress is hours away. would he give you a preview. ♪ ♪i've got the brains you've got the looks♪ ♪let's make lots of money♪ ♪you've got the brawn♪ ♪i've got the brains♪ ♪let's make lots of♪ ♪uh uh uh♪ ♪oohhh there's a lot of opportunities♪ with allstate, drivers who switched saved over $700. saving is easy when you're in good hands. allstate click or call to switch today. this past year has felt like a long, long norwegian winter. but eventually, with spring comes rebirth. everything begins anew. and

a 46-point margin over his nearest primary opponent for joe biden. so it's not just the general election. the reason that joe biden won that primary last year was because of black voters, and it was because of voters who really wanted him to address the issues of race relations and uniting the country. >> i went down there and went to a polling place and spoke to him and interviewed him, and we saw -- >> i remember that. >> and we saw the difference. i said, look, people there loved him, right? that he had this connection, especially with black voters. then you saw what transpired after that. astead, biden said that his inauguration speech, that we can deliver racial justice. he said we can't stop here after the verdict of derek chauvin, the murder trial. he's clearly not shying away from confronting racial injustice head-on. does he see this as his best opportunity to get real change? >> i think so. i think you see an agenda laid out by president biden that tries to address these in a lot of areas, not just criminal justice where we often talk about

after donald trump walks away from the paris clara's agreements joe biden has not only brought the u.s. back into that particular gate but this week he also unveiled i'm bischof new climate targets pledging to cut u.s. carbon emissions to hoffer 2005 levels over the next decade but that still leaves us well short of the paris climate goals so there's any talk really batter i'm phil gale in berlin and this is the day. this is a work together to address cleaner economies will reap rewards for their shoes we have decided and all danish oil and gas production in the north. know very. well at. 2024 of those 4 years from now. we're going to make these commitments real. also on the day as europe and the united states begin to talk of a pandemic free summer india's code crisis surges to record highs the situation in india is a device stating a reminder of what this virus can do and why we must marshal every tool against it. welcome to the day this week u.s. president joe biden hosted a virtual global climate summit of more than 40 world leaders many of them joined president biden in announcing

president joe biden tougher greener and even meaner than the world was expecting if anyone thought joe biden would put the restoration of america's role in the world on the back burner bo he deals with domestic issues they were in for a big disappointment from the start biden has taken a hard line with america's main rivals he has refused to lift sanctions on iran as a condition for restarting nuclear talks trade tariffs on china are still in place and u.s. diplomats have visited taiwan by impose new sanctions on russia for interference in the 2020 alexion is and when asked if he considered russian president vladimir putin to be a killer he said without hesitation i do biden said there would be consequences for saudi arabia after u.s. intelligence concluded the saudi crown prince had been responsible for the murder of a u.s. journalist and critics point out that they are still waiting to see those consequences candidate biden promise to bring america back has president biden kept his word the w.'s chief international editor richard walker has this report. during the trump years the u.s

you have another problem for joe biden. you've got actually a group of moderate democrats who maybe they're the moderates that don't like the price tag but there are some moderates who want this bill to repeal what's called the s.a.l.t. tax, which affects high-income states like new york and new jersey and a handful of moderates say we want this repealed, otherwise this bill doesn't fly. where does this situation stand right now in terms of negotiations? >> well, i think that the moderate democrats feel like they had to put a line in the sand very early as they start having these negotiations with their leadership. i talked to representative josh gotheimer about his position and he said, yes, this does affect high-income earners but it also affects middle class earners in high tax states, california, new jersey, new york. those are places where middle income family get hit by the fact that they cannot just deduct all of their state and local taxes, they can only deduct up to $10,000. this was a major issue for democrats bac
