ari for more let's go now to the united states dr william schaffner joins me from nashville tennessee dr schaffner is a professor of preventive medicine at vanderbilt university school of medicine dr schaffner it's good to see you again when you look at the situation here in europe what do you see happening i mean we are we're now in a 3rd wave and we do not have to keep vaccines that we hope to have in our arsenal any more well i'm obviously very concerned for my friends in europe and indeed my son who lives in perlin because this virus is spreading and it seems not to be at all in did it or hampered by the current interventions mess where he social distancing of voiding groups there are a lot of people who are still not doing that and the virus is spreading we need to vaccinate more people not only in the united states but in europe and the astra zeneca vaccine the one that's available is certainly an effective vaccine for the populations for which it's indicated you've heard the news that denmark has taken the astra zeneca vaccine out of its arsenal completely is that a wise thing

shows about washington it has been the duty of the capital of the united states said to me come really close to the government building there was only a fairly small french guarding the white house until a couple of months ago you could go there take pictures of the same is true here for the capitol building there was no friends whatsoever you actually could talk to high end politicians walking in and out taking a lunch break in the sun and this has dramatically changed also to the insurrection of general thinks and therefore many washington greg isn't really one has the friends to be brought down again because they want to go back to their normal kind of relaxed life and i'm pretty sure this won't happen to him again off to what they're experiencing right now that's silly that is the promise of american democracy that anyone could walk up to their lawmakers in the halls of congress and take their interests in place to the nation's lawmakers and that is as you say one of the questions that's going to be asked is how could something like this happen after the tightening of security meas

states particularly those of those who haven't been to united states and sort of have perhaps a different image of water infrastructure is like there but i can tell you firsthand i've seen it myself. at times be quite shocking you see it essentially as president biden said it is crumbling you know you have potholes you have a rail network which is archaic like i said before the fact that you've got parts of the country that don't even have drinking water so you've got people not being able to have the basic needs attended to so you know the fact that he's focusing on this i'm going to pump so much money into this it is quite striking so what's the likelihood that i will be able to get this passed well this is another issue of course that you can almost expect in the united states getting big projects like this through congress is never easy there is you know in many respects it does appeal actually to the republicans because we're dealing with sort of big infrastructure projects dealing with sort of traditional areas of interest infrastructure which appeals to the republican voter but at

and the fastest state in fact to roll out the vaccine in the united states and so we were wondering how is that even possible and we joined a team of health professionals that traveled with bush planes and snowmobiles to some of those most remote places in alaska let's take a look. final preparations for a vaccine flight near the arctic circle in alaska kimberley and done has with her 50 shots of the modernity vaccine she hopes they'll help bring an end to the pandemic which has had rural alaska hard. one person gets a hair bats you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that you made ok it's going to things down to 20 minutes would be a tight 5 minutes despite its remoteness the state of alaska has rolled out the corona virus vaccines faster than any other state in the u.s. today the team of health care professionals will be visiting several indigenous villages in the arctic wildernes

states that quit and that's a point that iran makes again and again so the united states still has some of the same problems under under president biden that it had under president trump they don't go so far as to say it's the worst deal ever trump did but they do have some issues that you heard state department spokesman ed price point out one of those is that some of the aspects of the iran nuclear deal are temporary and some of the restrictions will begin expiring in his littlest 5 years that's something the u.s. would like to like to fix but again it's unclear whether they would push for that in these very early phases of getting back to the table. and talking about getting back to the table issues go back to those talks in vienna today what would sexiest look like at the end of today expectations are very low for any substantive breakthrough at this 1st round of talks especially with the 2 sides not going face to face but i think that if the talks ended with an agreement to simply have another round or if if you know that the united states and iran thought there was enough room for

in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with britain reopening with baby steps today british prime minister boris johnson announced plans to ease the coronavirus lockdown restrictions with the country's vaccination drive the best in europe and with summer quickly approaching there was much anticipation ahead of today's news and there was a good dose of disappointment to the good news is that non-essential restaurants pubs and shops will begin reopening next week but nonessential travel outside of the country that will remain a no go the earliest date for resuming international travel is mid may but even that could be delayed of surges in new infections continue elsewhere now this all means for now going out to dinner yes going on vacation not yet here is prime minister boris johnson i can today confirm that from monday the 12th of april we will move to step 2 of our road map there is absolutely no question of people be off to produce certificates no covert status report when they go to the to the shop so to the pub. or to the head dresses or what

in the united states into all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with the foreign policy of u.s. 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 bi

big day for minneapolis minnesota for the state here and big day for the entire united states because all eyes are on the exactly that what you said the closing arguments and then the jury deliberations which will start right after today in the. trial so this is all about is remember this is the last time the jurors will hear from prosecution or the defense team meaning this is the time that they have to connect the dots so to speak prosecution will reiterate everything and connect to everything in their closing argument they have brought forward in the last 2 weeks they brought 38 witnesses and experts to the stand and now they're making their points again in summary so to speak the defense will try the same thing we heard in the piece prosecution focused on saying this was unnecessary measures taken by. which caused the death of george floyd and the as pointed out in the piece we saw and by you and the defense will try now in conclusion again to poke holes into this and say no this was not the only cause at least not the only cause if at all the cause because mr floyd had some drugs

yeah you already mentioned it it really depends on the region and here in the united states and experts actually believe that the effect might be limited there probably is enough of exceeding a lift from the more during or and pfizer beyond takes till that there won't be any significant delays when it comes to mass effects in asians here in the united states clearly the big question mark is was all the headlines that we had surrounding us president it can even if that is not approved here in the united states and all johnson and johnson if people might become more hesitant to get any vixie in at all and vaccinations i mean that's one of the keys to really get the economy going but looking outside of the united states europe was betting on johnson and johnson some countries in africa like south africa for example they were also hoping that johnson and johnson might help to mass next innate to the population and so it could have an effect on those economies and reopening some having that said there is clearly some of what we've heard from experts that it only might take a couple of days a

this is an answer you know people are expecting some kind of an answer from the united states but it's an answer that leads to more questions. it's more worry it's more uncertainty and people just kind of feel like now it's going to be 4 more months of worry 4 more months of wondering what's going to happen next so it's not really any kind of a solid answer it's an answer that leads to more questions what has been happening there on the ground because you know we we have reports in the past year there has been this surge in violence especially targeted killings among civilians among among women among you know civil society groups people like journalists judges for example walk us through what's been happening there on the ground and what it's been like for civilians. this is exactly the pres like now we're at a state where like i'll give you an example couple months ago i traveled to logout province which is about 40 minutes south of kabul and that province has always been unstable it's always been insecure it's always been plagued with. poverty but and in the past when we would go to

a push to bring the iran nuclear deal back off life support and the united states of back on board 3 years after donald trump unilaterally withdrew from the accord talks in vienna will aim to find a way forward if he says both washington and tehran the other countries remaining in the deal including germany france russia britain and china are hoping for a breakthrough and claire richardson embroil and this is the day. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal america's maximum pressure on the sofa you know. we were writing to meaningful dialogue with iran and we are very clear eyed about the hurdles that remain the fact is this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made as we have said to find a mutual return to the g c p a way. if the new u.s. administration wants to proceed maximum pressure they're going to fail we don't anticipate presently that there will be direct talks between the united states and iran through the process that we certainly remain open to. also coming up the city that never sleeps gets a reaso

was in on it and simultaneously and it's rather embarrassing for the united states united states is going there and it's intensifying its intelligence sharing with the israelis it's done everything it can to kind of bring in these rallies into the conversation and the response of these raids is to do an attack like this at a moment when austin is in or just about to arrive in israel and israel so it doesn't seem to me that the biden administration's strategy of trying to appease netanyahu has been particularly successful in ensuring that he doesn't solve the diplomacy to the by the ministrations as is their number one priority if you if you look at the facts iran's nuclear activities its ballistic missile program its up its attempt to destabilize the region they are all 'd worse today many would say because of what the trumpet ministration did the biden ministration sees it that way so why does the netanyahu see it that way. i think that the now doesn't see it that way because the biggest fear he has is not that the iranians would be able to have a pathway it's in your weapon the biggest

in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome today is earth day and the united. is trying to make it count us president biden today pledged to cut u.s. carbon emissions in half by the end of the decade it's the most ambitious climate protection target ever set in u.s. history some 40 countries are taking part in the 2 day virtual climate summit that biden is hosting from the white hells and as global warming progress is there's hope that the biden pledge will put pressure on other countries to clean up their at. but in kicked off his address with a sobering summation of society's climate since from burning fossil fuel to inaction in the face of species extinction to rampant deforestation and air pollution in contrast to his predecessor biden said it was time for action and laid out his ambitious climate goals to the some 40 participating heads of state and government. the united states sets out on the road to cut greenhouse gases in half and half by the end of this decade that's where we're headed as a nation and that's all we can do if we take action to build an

the united states will be again are fine i withdraw all began it on may 1 of this year will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit or do it we'll do it responsibly deliberately and safely and we will do it in full coordination with our allies and partners who now have more force in afghanistan than we do and the taliban should know that if they attack us as we drawdown will defend ourselves and our partners of all the tools at our disposal our allies and partners have stood beside us shoulder to shoulder in afghanistan for almost 20 years and we're deeply grateful for the contributions they have made to our shared mission and for the sacrifices they have borne the plan has long been in together out together. u.s. troops as well as forces deployed our nato allies and operational partners will be out of ghana stand before we mark the 20th anniversary of that hannis attack on september 11th but but will not take our eye off the terrorist threat will reorganize our counterterrorism capabilities and the substantial assets in the region to prevent reemergence of terrorist threat to our homeland

states particularly those of those who haven't been to united states and sort of have perhaps a different image of water infrastructure is like there but i can tell you firsthand i've seen it myself. at times be quite shocking you see it essentially as president biden said it is crumbling you know you have potholes you have a rail network which is archaic like i said before the fact that you've got parts of the country that don't even have drinking water so you've got people not being able to have the basic needs attended to so you know the fact that he's focusing on this i'm going to pump so much money into this it's quite striking so what's the likelihood that i will be able to get this passed this is another issue of course that you can almost expect in the united states getting big projects like this through congress is never easy there is you know in many respects it does appeal actually to the republicans because we're dealing with sort of big infrastructure projects dealing with sort of traditional areas of infrastructure which appeals to the republican voter but at the same time t

in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with iran and the united states and the futile exercise of trying to pick up where they left off before donald trump got in the way it was a campaign promise that trump followed through on as u.s. president he withdrew the u.s. from the iran nuclear deal known as the j c p a way calling it the worst deal ever that was 2008 seems fast forward to the present u.s. president joe biden wants to revive the j c p a way iran apparently is also interested because in direct talks between the 2 began today in austria but the past 3 years with new u.s. sanctions against iran plus iran's uranium enrichment in violation of the deal none of this can be undone or ignored to say that trust is in short supply here would be an understatement to say that washington will lift sanctions 1st as tehran is dead demanding well that still seems to be wishful thinking the europeans find themselves caught in the middle and the world wonders how to put the iran nuclear deal back together again we have this report. starting on tuesday dele

part in the 2 day virtual summit let's take a listen what he said just moments ago the united states sets out on the road to cut greenhouse gases in half and half by the end of this decade. that's where we're headed as a nation and that's all we can do if we take action to build an economy that's not only more prosperous but healthier fair and cleaner for the entire planet you know these steps will set america on a path of missions or kaname by no greater than 2050 but the truth is america represents less than 15 percent of the world's inventions no nation can solve this crisis on our own as i know you all fully understand all of us all of us and particularly those of us who represent the world's largest economies we have to step up and there was a president joe biden speaking earlier i'm now joined by some some comedy that we correspondents in washington and in washington d.c. good to see so we flesh this out for us if you will what is this big climate agenda that the president has unveiled well you mentioned the most important point we heard there from joe biden as well that the u.
