today, it's midnight across much of europe right now. and the content is ringing in the new year under the cloud of all the coronets. go to italy, now there's the coliseum booking stunning at night. time. could have fog there. some public on the street, sir, but public celebrations are actually banned in italy at the moment. i rent parents, it's the other way round the firework show it's cancelled. but as you see, thousands of revelers should be walking along the shore, the lazy to mark the moment. and of course, people have also gathered to celebrate inputted al sol. it's one of the main squares in spain's capital. many people are looking forward at least to the light show, a limited number of people allowed as a drone, drones in operation. now, please making sure that those numbers remain at the same level and people stick to the rules. a couple of hours ago, musket size were lit up, crosses with fi works at midnight. the traditional gathering with a course red square with some bustles cathedral in the background, making a great backdr

for example, team europe, which is e.u. plus a couple of countries announced half a billion doses in various stages. only a quarter of them approximately have been delivered, so press releases don't save lives. vaccine save lives. so it's not to say that you don't follow evidence at home. the idea is to increase the size of the pie through actual delivered vaccines through technology transfer, and so on and so forth. anchor: deliveries to match the promises. it has been two years sce china reported the first cluster of cases in wuhan. what do you see in the year ahead? >> i see that we are not helpless bystanders, but to say that we he a lot of power to change the course of the pandemic, but that would require leadership, but it will also require the recognition from the populaon, from the populatis, because we are a heterogeneous wor, that we can either muddle through this r years to come, or we can bite the bullet and control this pandemic aggressively through the tools that are available, and then get on with our lives.

. >> and i haven't been to europe. and. [laughter] i mean, i don't understand the point that you are making. >> mike: bill, the vice president was charged with addressing the crisis at the border. your thoughts on the first year of the biden white house and her performance? >> well, in her performance she is the border czar who tries to stay as far away from the border as she can. and in some sense i don't blame her. the vice president is supposed to be the chief salesman for the president's agenda. and the problem is that joe biden has not a good agenda. you know, when he came in, people were talking as though he would be the next fdr or lbj, but he didn't have fdr or lbj majorities. so now what's the most common met for used? jimmy carter. jimmy carter is synonym for haplessness you know with inflation. and i think afghanistan was particularly brutal because it's not a right or left thing. i think a lot of people just have the impression that the job is too big for joe biden. he is not up to it. >> mike: obviously the yea

more moves and goes into ukraine, we will have severe sanctions, we will increase our, our presence in europe, with our nato allies, and it will be a heavy price to pay for it. >> reporter: during a 50-minute phone call urging putin to de-escalate ahead of talks scheduled for january 10th. >> i made it clear they could only work if in de-escalated, not escalated. i expect if you negotiate you will make progress but we'll see. >> reporter: and president biden is set to speak with the ukrainian president on sunday. >> that conversation is set to show that russia that the u.s. and ukraine will coordinate ahead of the january 10th negotiations between the u.s. and russia. this follows the principle the white house has laid out about nothing about them without them making clear to russia that they will remain in close touch with the ukrainians. >> we appreciate the reporting, thank you very much. >>> let's get more from national political reporter eva mcken and kirsten powers. thank you for being with us. eva, let me get to you first on a legislative perspective. how is this your ending for presid

. - these migrants say belarus, lped ferry them to europe. the eu says it is state organized human trafficking. we get a report from eastern germany, and, [clapping and cheering] can this man finally unseat hungary's authoritarian leader, viktor orban? mayor peter marki-zay, tells me how he's trying to do just that, by rallying unlikely allies, ahead of the next electi.

they're very -- they're african americans, they're japanese, they're germans, they're people from europe. a lot of australians. and they all tell their stories. and the stories they tell are about their pride, the pride of what their grandfathers did, the pride of what their family has contributed to make the second world war still a livable story. so i think from the perspective of what you asked, what can we do here at this wonderful museum that we're all so proud of, is to allow people to continue to tell their stories, and have the opportunity to tell their stories as they come through. so i don't have a question. >> thank you, excellent, excellent. >> we'll go to your left with connie, please. >> hi. my question relates to how the death of dory miller was treated in 1943 by the press, by the military. >> it's a good question. the black press was obviously very much grieved to hear the news. the story that tuchs me the most was how the miller family learned of doris' death, and they wrote anxiously because he wasn't confirmed dead until a year and a day, right, if you're missing it t

any more moves and goes into ukraine, we will have severe sanctions, we will increase our presence in europe with our nato allies and it will be a heavy price to pay for it. >> reporter: and for now at least, as even though russia has more than 100,000 troops on the ukrainian border, they are engaging in the diplomacy. the by lateral security talks are set to begin on january 10th but they said there could not be any progress until the russia will de-escalate the situation. and that was the main message on the call, to show there are two path as head, there is some diplomatic path that the russian president could choose to follow or serious economic sanctions and those increased nato milita military movements should putin move forward with that invasion and the president was asked whether he has a better sense of whether or not the russian president is likely to invade ukraine? he didn't exactly answer that, instead pointing to the negotiations set to take place on january 10th. but u.s. officials have made it clear they are not listening for vladimir putin's words as much as they are watchi

hello, everyone here sir. forecast for europe in africa will begin in europe. paint the colors on the dark or the orange, the higher the temperature, and that warm air continues to be pumped in rate across the continent. a pretty while, when you look at this, not for the 1st day of january, we don't have one temperature here below freezing, happy new year by the way. now in terms of the other, whether we're going to see those winds pick up across ireland and britain, a few scattered showers as while heavier abouts of rain and snow for that southwest of norway. but again, these temperatures, brussels 14 degrees. but the further south you go, higher temperatures, we do have so cordoba $22.00, valencia at $21.00. we're going to get strike with some heavy rain for the northwest of spain on saturday. also high temperatures through the balkans and also north of this is walls. so vienna, prague, 12 degrees, budapest, 13, and we do have some showers working their way across the boss versus is nothing major for it's them both with a high va, loving degrees, also some showers through the levant

we will increase our presence in europe with our nato allies. and it will have to be a heavy price to pay for it. >> reporter: biden laying out that heavy price during a 50-minute phone call yesterday, urging putin to deof escalate ahead of u.s./russia security talks scheduled for january 10th. >> they only could work if he deof escalates. >> i always expect if you negotiate you make progress but we'll see. >> reporter: beyond the potential war in eastern europe, biden steps into 2022 facing an uphill battle against an unrelenting pandemic and criticism of his covid response. on testing at least, the president acknowledging he's come up short. >> it's not enough. it's clearly not enough. if we'd have known we'd have gone harder quicker, if we could have. >> reporter: top health officials defending cdc guidelines shortening the isolation period to five days for those who test positive. >> those five days account for somewhere between 85% to 90% of all transmission that occurs. >> reporter: skyrocketing covid cases also now threatening the economi

look, we really do consider the the security situation of central europe as a crucial issue for us and anything that helps to resolve challenges here. and ease tensions around the region service our interest. so that's why we are really interested in successful negotiations between nato and the russia, the beginning of next year. it is very easy for political chance to finger point on one specific country on one specific person on one specific decision in order to push responsibility away. the russian federation on the gas from have always been very reliable partners from hungary when it comes to supply of of natural gas. all the contracts have been respected and the schedule was respected. the volumes arrived always on time, and as far as i understand, no one in europe complains about about why elating contract buy gas from. so what we can say is that the gas from the russian federation, respect the contracts which were assigned between european countries. european companies and russia and gas from maybe this is not the most sophisticated sentence you ever hear from a politician on en

the great land masses of asia and europe in unfriendly hands. it is an existential threat to the u.s. global trade, access to markets, a preponderance of the world's raw materials all closed off. and that accounts, i think, for the flurry of presidential action in the next 12 months. he starts in july broadening the embargoes against japan to include scrap iron, the basis of the japanese steel making industry, and aviation fuel. but he also invites the president of general motors to the white house to discuss conversion of the u.s. economy to a war-time footing. in the fall -- there's the japanese rampaging through china, north china, and there's the move into france and eventually into the soviet union on the part of the germans. and there is big bill, the man on the left, the tallest of the three gentlemen there, the president of general motors at the time. he's invited to the white house to discuss conversion of the u.s. economy to a war-time footing. i was going to say legend has it, but it's not legend. it's a flat out truth. roosevelt aske

more than it does europe for example, we can recirculate in america's a lot in europe and canada is bigger than both america ands europe o other than a couple of areas where supply chains are -- pretty much everything from abroad can be substituted in america and almost no other country could say that with a straight face so it can be done with industrial policy and the u.s. can do better and you can draw on remote talent, look how wall street kept on humming during the lockdown, not only because they pivoted to remote work quickly but they massively hire more indians so you think about your financial institutions and consulting companies and digital companies, tech consulting and finance, essentially tech and finance, these big sectors of our economy, why are they going away? they've already drawn on a completely massive labor force of intelligent people serving american corporate interest in some ways recirculate and trickle into our economy so i'm not worried but with that said, you don't want to not be the number one destination in the world for talent. they are learning towards canada

at one point, it looked like we could be up doubling very different story in europe where doubling is a better situation than what they are facing with prices spiking into the winter two things will determine where natural gas goes from here the weather and vladimir putin both factors can be fairly unpred unpredictable. in 2022, you can expect more money for climate spending from the federal government and from private companies. >> the business of climate in 2022 will depend in the u.s. on the fate of president biden's $1.75 trillion build back better plan which was recently torpedos by senator joe manchin of west virginia who has tied to the coal industry. roughly, $555 billion was earmarked to shift the u.s. from fossil fuels to clean energy that included tax incentives there was also a $12,500 tax credit for buyers of electric vehicles about $12 billion aimed at making buildings more energy efficient. more for research on clean technology like pulling carbon dioxide out of the air parts of this could be passed outside of the full bill all that spending hangs in the balance. ven ve

so hawthorn is living this life where he can continue to write his books and prance around europe. the only thing he does is stay unabashed supporter of pierce while pierce is essentially burning down the house, allowing the country to devolve into civil war, allowing the kansas nebraska act, doesn't get the second term, leads to bucchanen's election, probably the worst, pierce is probably the second or third worse president in our history and all they're dough boys, people who support slavery. have this deep friendship after pierce leaves the white house, it's two men against the world essentially and hawthorn dies in pierce's hands. pierce basically ends up drinking himself to death. really the saddest story of friendship in my book, but a really enduring in many ways, beautiful friendship, between two very flawed men. >> so i'm going back to some of the questions the audience has. if anyone in the audience has questions, please feel free to post them. this is interesting -- have any of the first friends been called to testify before a congressional committee to be questioned abo

the volumes arrived always on time, and as far as i understand, no one in europe complains about about why elating contract buy gas from. so what we can say is that the gas from the russian federation, respect the contracts which were assigned between european countries. european companies and russia and gas from maybe this is not the most sophisticated sentence you ever hear from a politician on energy or gas supply. but our understanding is that the, the more pipelines the better it has been an our agenda as well to, to see how we can further increase the number of those who get the vaccination. because we do consider that as the only solution for the crisis we in hungary have a very clear experience. more than 6 a 1000000 hungarians have been vaccinated. we have been using 6 different types of vaccines, including including sino farm and, and for western types of vaccines. pfizer rosters and come with the youngs and so we have a very colorful experience. i do believe that the fact that the new car has not been the recon lies by the international organizations is a purely political is

but one big thing we're going is a regatta where ships will cross the atlantic ocean from europe and arriving here in san juan. and that will be something. >> that is will be wonderful. now covid, this is, as my colleague phil just said, one of the highest vaccinated places in the united states. you're death rate here is very low. your hospitalization rate is very low. but the cases are going up very quickly. we know the vaccine works because people aren't dying in large numbers and getting sick in large numbers but it is very alarming how the cases going up so much. what are you done recently to keep the island safe. >> our sales were in the states. we got hit by the variant in march april and then the delta variant and now this omicron variant. this one in particular, the problem it has, it is very transmissible. so that is why you have so many cases. it is not yet reflecting itself in our hospitals in a concerning way, but we cannot underestimate the variant. so what we're doing is, as usual, puerto rico has been quite restrictive when necessary. we are, for example, now starting

several hours to go here in europe, a new year's eve celebration will take place and cities are still preparing. paris, berlin and rome have called off their city-planned events where covid cases continue to surge. lock down protests have taken place this week in slovenia and germany. germany's demonstrations monday were some of the most violent of the entire pandemic. only ten people are allowed to meet there at once. coming up, parts of the middle east will ring in the new year here in london. we have a few hours to go. we've seen several people setting off those fireworks likely from home. so again, the would is getting ready to say good-bye to 2021. a lot of people are ready for a fresh start. >> anita: no kidding there. and alex, i wanted to ask you since i think this is your first new year's in london. what are you seeing there? you mentioned you're hearing fireworks what are you seeing there as the new year's there is hours away? >> this is my first new year's here in london. very excited to be with you. what we're seeing here in london, the city cancelled their fireworks show

when biden waved sanctions, ukraine and poland both said it was creating a security crisis in europe. it was increasing dramatically the chances that russia would invade ukraine. this invasion we are facing, it is joe biden's fault. it is also the fault of senate democrats. for two years, we had bipartisan agreement to stop it and we succeeded. when there was a republican president, we were perfectly willing to hold president trump to account to press him to stand up against it and he did. as soon as a democrat got in the white house, our colleagues decided that partisan loyalty was more important than national security. suddenly, we have seen the democrats in this chamber ending over backwards to avoid stopping it. i want to be very clear. a lot of discussion about joe biden having a phone call with vladimir putin today. it's not going to stop and invasion. what will stop and invasion, simply following the law and sanctioning norge stream two. host: that was ted cruz on the senate floor. another phone call took place between the american president and the russian leader. the crisis o

europe is hardly a theocracy these days. if we had say a limit on abortion of 20 weeks, that would be 95 percent of abortions would still occur and the temperature would go down. >> .you're saying it would be worth it to split the difference. >> basically i'm for splitting differences. >> it would be decided by the court. >> they're terrified roe versus wade might be overturned by nine legislators in this country a lot of who say they won't overturn roe versuswade but in their heart of hearts say spare me that . a lot of americans think if you overturn roe versus wade abortion would be illegal. not true, all we do is established a status quo and reestablish abortion as a subject regular bowl bystate law. and you'd have vast differences . you have one abortion regime in louisiana and one in new york and they bear no resemblance to one another. >> i know a lot of people on the left were in favor of all of the above abortion rights. if you want to put it that way are looking forward to this because they believe it will energize

the agreement signed today provides for italia, 3 measured europe must apply those measures for boil fishing tails. so rotten, that france even threatened to turn off the u. k. 's electricity supplies, but was this about more than simply making waves over fishing licenses? i suspect also about that. there are many reasons why right now are having a spot between the british and the french is very convenient for both for a minute. for the prime minister of great britain and for the french president, of course, it is about more than fishing licenses. 98 percent of fishing licenses that were applied for were already granted. the french thing is about 40 votes. it's is just something to sort of keep it alive. her quarrels between france and britain are all serious, but that one is, is completing the manufactured even though the u. k. has now granted more licenses . french fishermen are still unhappy and continue to threaten british imports. now that brings us to another bone of contention migrants the u. s. wholly still struggling to find a way to deal with mass, illegal migration. but th

natural gas futures higher by 300 percent in europe. in the u.k., up 200%, well off the highs of the year. we were up 700% on gas futures overseas. in the u.s., under control but still higher by 40%. coffee futures higher by 76% on a year-to-date basis. lumber futures, we saw the huge spike in january. it has come back down to earth but still higher by 59% for 2021. i want to pivot back to oil and bring in simon casey who leads coverage of the energy sector. when you look at the run-up in wti crude this year, a lot of people would say this is all about economic recovery. the reason we went to where we are today, that is all it was about. is there more to the story than just economic coverage? -- recovery? >> there is. i would give you three main things that will go into 2022. one is the economic recovery since the pandemic. the other big story, perhaps more important in some respects, is how opec-plus has a tight grip on the market. they have managed the supply extremely well. in 2020 in the first few months of the pandemic, oil prices

but if we had abortion laws much more like those in europe, for example, in europe hardly theocracy these days, if we had a limit on abortion of 20 weeks that would be 95% of abortions would still occur, and the temperature would go down. >> you're saying to split the difference and i don't want to put words in your mouth. >> basically i'm splitting differences. >> and of course, to be decided by the court. >> terrified that roe vs wade would be overturned, state legislators a lot of whom say we want to overturn roe vs wade and in their heart of hearts say spare me that. a lot of americans think if you overturn roe vs wade suddenly abortion is illegal. not true. all it would is establish the status quo and establish abortion as a subject regulatable by state law and you'd have vast differences. you'd have one abortion regime in louisiana and one in new york, and they'd bear no resemblance to one another. >> i know a lot of people in favor of all of the above, abortion rights, if you want to put it that way, are looking forward to this court fight because they believe it will energize subu

thanks so much. >>> let's turn now to europe. british prime minister boris johnson praising the success of vaccines in his new year's message and urging citizens to get vaccinated. >> i want to speak directly to all those who have yet to get fully vaccinated. the people who think the disease can't hurt them. look at the people going into hospital now. that could be you. look at the intensive care units and the miserable needless suffering of those who did not get their booster. that could be you. >> an important message there. let's go to paris now where cnn senior international correspondent jim bittermann joins me live. omicron is the dominant variant in france, where you are. what is being done for this tsunami of cases? >> i guess the most dramatic thing is this idea that came up in the last few days here, to impose a mask mandate, which is to say that you now have to have a mask on, whether you're inside or outside in the streets walking around. you have to have a mask on. the only exceptions are for people who may be practi

when asked if she has gone to the border and she made a joke about europe. i don't know. she was assigned to be in charge of the immigration crisis, yet she hadn't been to the border in that interview which is embarrassing. that's the bottom line. it is an embarrassment when your elected leaders aren't doing the job they promised to do, david. >> you bring up a good point as the three of us talked earlier this week, when you think the biggest challenge to democracy around the world is voter i.d. and not having enough electric cars maybe we don't want her making a lot of national decisions. >> julie: all right. i've got to go. i ran out of time and getting a quick wrap. happy new year to you both. appreciate you coming on. >> trace: a truly apocalyptic scene in boulder county, colorado. 100 mile-per-hour winds fanned flames. tens of thousands of people forced to flee. a live report on this next. >> this is not something you see in town. this is something you see in the mountains. i've lived here for 28 years and never seen anything like it. it is crazy and scary.

also a specific wealth of knowledge that totally got stopped out when white settlers came over from europe and brought over their views of fire being this really evil thing. and i think we still see remnants of that like today with the big fires rolling through come people see as a bad thing and to set necessary a bad thing. i is a healthy part of the environment and to think there's something we can learn by looking at indigenous knowledge of how they lived on the landscape and used fire as a tool to make the environment healthier place. so i really wanted to we have to the entire story tell people understand that there's this whole prehistory of man and fire management that so often we don't hear about and the ways we do fire should be much more nuanced than what they are. >> host: thank you for that. that's really insightful and something you put a lot of thought into. again, create the space for those conversations both from the standpoint of actual meetings and discussions who also just being open-minded to those discussions, how various tribes of grand man's lane many years prior to

is there a way to reorganize security in europe. can the united states give something to russia? could russia give something to the united states, namely, deescalate. that's the hardest thing right now. the united states, the biden administration is saying we want deeffect hraeugsz. otherwise, they will not work. it could mean taking troops out. it will be almost impossible for putin to step down publicly, especially in front in front of his own russian voters. >> we will be waiting to see what steps he takes. the white house is watching very closely. thank you both for joining us. hope you both have a great new year. >> happy new year. . >> same to you. >>> all right. up next, the scramble to get required covid tests for school kids in washington, d.c. >>> and the saga over the murder of george floyd is far from over. we'll look at that and other cases that you should watch in the new year. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of
