yeah this is a call to action by joe biden the u.s. president but it's also recognizing that the united states plays a pivotal role in terms of leadership and so this is what this message was it had really 2 messages within it one for the international audience for world leaders that are gathered here at this summit it resolving to take action the united states saying it's leading by example making that announcement of cutting its own emissions up from the targets of the obama administration so this is the sort of 1st part of it and it is also to let people know that as we've heard from joe biden repeatedly america is back to the 4 years of donald trump and denials of climate science have come and gone but there's another message tucked in all of this too and that is for the domestic audience the fact is that if these lofty goals put forward by the us president are to be met it will mean a significant change of american patterns in terms of their energy use specifically when it comes to the type of cars that they drive because right no

just one final point in that news conference that joe biden just had president biden he also mentioned ukraine of course russia is amassing troops on the russian ukrainian border now ukraine is not a member of nato so the u.s. would have to be involved if it didn't have to you but how much all of an escalating factor do you think that could be anyone could joe biden make all these comments and then just stand by if russia does end up invading ukraine. well if russia invades ukraine i think all bets are off in terms of our relationship i don't think the us would go to war there is no nato commitment you know president biden would have to go to congress and try to explain to the american people why the u.s. is going to war with a nuclear power i think that's very unlikely and most european countries certainly don't want that either but it would require i think extraordinary can all make sanctions certainly would be no summit you know the u.s. and europe would have to respond in a fairly tough way so this is something which no one wants to happen most people believes that putin is posturi

president joe biden is due to give his 1st speech to a joint session of congress it's an opportunity for biden to update americans on where his election promises currently stand the pandemic and his $1.00 trillion dollars american families plan unlikely to feature prominently alan fisher is live for us now from the white house so what can we expect allan in terms of the subject areas that the president is going to focus on. or 40 years ago ronald reagan gave an address to congress and he said that government is not the solution to the problem government is the problem watch for a 180 degree turn from that by joe biden he's talking about a new $1.00 trillion dollar bill american families he says he's going to support them he's talking about free kindergarten school for 3 and 4 year olds community college for the 1st 2 years paid for by the state he's going to improve the safety net programs he wants to make sure people have more access to paid sick leave and also family leave the us is way down on the list of countries that provide that and he also wants to make sure that there is bet
