biden and president and there were tense relationships when when joe biden was vice president during the obama administration and the 2 didn't go on terribly well perhaps joe biden feels slightly emboldened that he can take this step no because turkey is in a slightly weaker economic position that they're not likely to announce any huge backlash to me talk about it but really economically they can't really heart the united states and we know that joe biden one year ago on the 24th of april last year when he was then candidate biden said that he was going to take this step and he would perhaps have been emboldened by the fact that both the house and the senate in a bipartisan nature back in 2019 actually called this a genocide as well so i had all of that to the fact that the biggest armenian diaspora in the world is in the united states and particularly inside southern california joe biden obviously felt that this was a good time to make the move to on or a promise that he made and also believing that the backlash from russia from tucky might not be so big there is a problem though a

biden look joe biden is old he's an old white catholic man who has a very kind of. personality even people who are trying to demonize him now a hard time getting past that barack obama was a young black man with a foreign sounding name rooted in arabic. these are very different people right it's not surprising to me at all that that that things you know he is a different person american politics reacts to those 2 different kinds of people differently i think that that's just you know that that is just obvious the other thing is and this is one of those examples of sometimes a flawed person we're all flawed but sometimes a flawed person. meets their moment and the kind of a signature thing about joe biden to his political career has been the politics of empathy. and at many points in our history that is that is all that is of only limited political you know currency political resonance he managed to become president though in a period where it was a central grounding aspect of a political personality both because of covert and because he was succeeding a man who is w

biden has in the last 15 or 20 minutes those who support joe biden more say look if you look at the historians they all recognize this as a genocide the turks in the past have said well you can't hold people to account for what happened in 1800 by today's standards but of course there was a military tribunal in turkey after this incident and they found those guilty of war crimes the people that were responsible for this so it is a significant moment we can expect that there will be some harsh words from ankara we nor the turks in the past have condemned comments from the catholic pope when he has recognized the genocide and other world leaders when they have either recognized that. come close to recognizing it relationships between washington and ankara haven't been great over recent years that has in the eyes of many here in washington post the tarts more towards vladimir putin this would help it's interesting talking about the reaction from turkey because we actually heard from president red tape earlier this week on thursday in at to space and at this announcement from joe biden

biden and the president of the one do not get on well that goes back to joe biden this time as vice president in the obama administration there have been tensions between the united states and turkey over recent years there was always a feeling that presidents were unwilling to go this far and declare what happened to the armenians as genocide because turkey was a close ally it straddles europe and the middle east there were u.s. air bases in turkey they really didn't want to upset ankara this decision by joe biden to make this announcement has been welcomed by nancy pelosi the speaker of the house saying her hearts are full of joy this will not help relations between ankara and washington d.c. . many thanks for that alan fischer giving us reaction from washington d.c. well turkey has rejected the announcement on twitter the foreign minister said words cannot change or rewrite history we have nothing to learn from anybody on our own past but it's cool opportunism is the greatest betrayal to peace and justice when tani reject the statement based solely on populism let's go to cinemas

uploading new hope president joe biden says the u.s. is on the move again now after the worst pandemic in a century. 100 days ago. america's house was on fire. we had to act. normal about this and this is all it is in a live from doha also coming up. trying to turn the tide on tax reform colombia's government faces public rebellion over controversial proposals. and there's little comfort to makeshift medical facilities as india tries to overcome oxygen and vaccine shortages in a coronavirus crisis. the rhythm of life's returning to new york streets but it isn't so upbeat of the united nations what's causing a diplomatic dispute. a blueprint to build america that's what u.s. president joe biden has just presented to congress on the eve of his 100th day in office and a wide ranging speech biden says he's turning parul into possibility after the devastation of the coronavirus pandemic saying america is back on the rise is laid out plans to fix a shoes including trillions of dollars in investment in jobs infrastructure and education. 100 da

president joe biden's record so far and the promises that remain to be fulfilled. i'm joined again with the sport as south korea begins back from 1000 it's a little bit actually ahead of the 10 kids games. so then coronavirus cases and deaths across india have reached a new high as the country grapples with a devastating 2nd wave more than 3600 deaths and nearly 380000 cases were reported on thursday alone despite all this millions of people turned out to vote for regional elections in west bengal sparking fears the states may become the new at the center elizabeth per annum has more from new delhi. should the sun is inconsolable lot to hearing of her mother's death while waiting in line to get oxygen for her i want to go to my mother she cries repeatedly. she described just how difficult it is to get help in delhi there's a little bit we have an out of a house is 2 in the morning there's no oxygen. vailable in all of delhi and after a lot of running around we finally got here for initially there was a queue on the other side then we were told that we had to come t

home that they won't be attending so that's a problem for unity that joe biden is trying to sort of bring the country together that some republicans are choosing not to even attend now also what will be different this year is the fact that the 1st lady typically would have special guests that reflect the president's policy sitting alongside her not this time well dr jill biden will be in attendance but we know is that in fact she had a special reception to honor those who would typically be seated beside her so those are some of the things that will be different in terms of what we'll be watching for well only watching for what we sometimes call the antics you'll remember last year nancy pelosi when donald trump was speaking at the end of the speech she tore up a speech i don't think should be doing that this year because she certainly supports the president's policies but we'll be watching to see what other kind of antics could take place you'll remember perhaps for those that watched barack obama's 2009 speech one republican shouted you lie in the middle of the speech so we don't

president joe biden's new climate policy. replacing attitude on climate change. before that there was almost an ounce of life in the usa oh yes it would grow from that climate convention which was a. huge amount of accumulated you know it's got to think that commitment $100000000000.00. that is expected expected by the developing countries must be phased in a recent media interview prime minister sheikh hasina say that bangladesh loses 2 percent off its g.d.p. to extreme climate events every year and spends 2.5 percent off its g.d.p. on climate adaptations bangladesh contributes merely 0.35 percent of global carbon emissions yet it is people like anwar a beggar who are paying the price for global warming for them climate diplomacy means very little time to charge 3 al-jazeera bangladesh you can find much more on our web site the address for you there is al jazeera don't come. and let's take you through some of the headlines here now to syria now president joe biden opened the global climate summit with 40 world leaders pledging to cut in half the coal and petrole

well there is no question that that is one of the major themes of joe biden the u.s. president's message to the world leaders in this global climate summit that the united states after 4 years of climate denial when it comes to the science regarding climate change under president donald trump that the united states is back but this is also the united states hoping to lead by example the u.s. president joe biden believing that the announcements of the planned cuts for missions that he has charted out that this is something that can challenge other global nations given the fact that this is really something that he sees as an existential threat so that is why he has laid out these ambitious goals and he's hoping that others will do the same but it's not just the international message that joe biden is projecting he's also projecting and was very much a speech aimed at the domestic audience because his plans for a global or rather a green economy here in the united states have not been met with sort of overwhelming enthusiasm particularly by some conservatives in the uni
