the white house has delivered as long expected salvo against china. it has announced a diplomatic boycott of the beijing winter olympic and paralympic games which are due to start next february. that move has been broadly moved welcomed across the political divide in the us, although it does only apply to diplomatic and political figures, not to the athletes themselves who have been given the white house seal of approval to take part. tanya dendrinos has this report. beijing 2022. as the snow settles, olympic venues are taking shape, but the pinnacle of sport is no stranger to politics. with two months remaining, the us has announced a diplomatic boycott, saying it won't contribute to the fanfare, nor pretend it is business as usual in the face of china's egregious human rights record. the biden administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the beijing 2022 winter olympics and paralympic games given the prc�*s ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in xinjiang and other human rights abuses. there is precedent here,

richard painter was the chief white house ethics lawyer and is now a law professor at the university of minnesota. he told me more about executive privilege. that president nixon could not exert executive privilege over the white house tapes recording his phone calls in which he had instructed others to obstruct the watergate investigation. sometimes executive privilege is upheld. but one thing is very clear — that the executive privilege belongs to the president of the united states, the current, sitting president of the united states, and that isjoe biden. joe biden has the right to assert the executive privilege with respect to communications of any prior president because he holds the presidency, and the courts would decide whether the executive privilege stands or does not. unlike richard nixon back in 1973, donald trump is no longer president. there is no way that he can assert the privilege sitting on a golf cart in florida as a former president. he has no standing to assert privilege. i don't believe the federal courts will pay any attention to this. right. well, his case c

joe biden is now in the white house and he wants to hit the ground running. there will be a flurry of executive orders to reverse a lot of trump era policies but policy always change with a new president. what will be so different is the manner of governing. crazy town is likely to be replaced by dullsville but maybe that is what america needs right now. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. let's go live now to president biden who is speaking at the white house. i really mean it. so you should not be doing this unless you feel it. i always say, a simple proposition, i trust people more with the idea and concern starts in their gut, because their heart and it to articulate it by a good brain. rather than the person who thinks of it and electorally but never feels it. the people you can count on other people it starts in their gut, works to which their heart and have the intellectual capacity to do what needs to be done. and so folks can we have a lot going on, a lot of opportunities, we can meet this existential threat of climate change. i really believe it. again

house and he has been sitting in the white house without public events for most of the months, most of the weeks since he lost the presidential election. we don't have that right now because his twitter access has been taken away. there is some real concern that donald trump at the moment isjust concern that donald trump at the moment is just stewing concern that donald trump at the moment isjust stewing in anger and resentment over what has happened. he is a real consumer of media so he has to be watching the media coverage of the violence on the hill, and the reaction, the condemnations of his conduct. i think it creates a very unpredictable atmosphere. he has no public schedule tomorrow, so it is unpredictable in a very concerning way. how do you read what the vice president and mitch mcconnell are doing? they broke with the president for the first time today, mike pence did not do what the president wanted and neither did mitch mcconnell, and they gave these two addresses after the invasion of the building in this crucial session, and they do not mention the president at all or

he's about to do that again in the white house. he is in this role where he excels may be better than president trump. he knows what to say in these moments. he says people are going to be ok, people who died were extraordinary. to heal, we must remember. the fact that he's making this effort to commemorate this moment, to do this candle lighting ceremony, to order american flags to fly at half staff, is a lot more of an acknowledgement of this crisis then president donald trump ever did. and he also took a moment to point out that because this is still highly political story, we must socially distance wear masks. if you are next in line, get the vaccine. 500,000 deaths, that terrible milestone. some people predicting it could go much higher.— could go much higher. absolutely. one could go much higher. absolutely. 0ne analysis _ could go much higher. absolutely. 0ne analysis by — could go much higher. absolutely. one analysis by the _ could go much higher. absolutely. one analysis by the institute - could go much higher. absolu

the white house has tweeted saying. our correspondent rushdi abualoof is in gaza and told me more about that media building that's been hit. it is hard to clarify this as the landlord of the building was speaking to the media just now and denying any military sides involved in his building. he said it is housing media, tech companies and about 60 residential apartments in the building. it is by far the biggest building so far that has been destroyed. not only during this war, but during the previous escalations. the sound of the explosion was huge, the debris went everywhere. one of the main street was blocked because the building was collapsing in the main street. the building is housing aljazeera tv channel and also some international media broadcasting. just give us a picture of what is happening in gaza generally, another ferocious night of attacks, what is the latest figures on casualties? yeah, it was a very long night, air strikes were exchanged all night and this money. all night and this morning. but the signif

joe biden is now in the white house and he wants to hit the ground running. there will be a flurry of executive orders to reverse a lot of trump era policies, but policy always change with a new president. what will be so different is the manner of governing. crazy town is likely to be replaced by dullsville but maybe that's what america needs right now. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. well, immediately after the inauguration, president biden set to work in the oval office. he signed i7 executive actions, 15 executive orders, some of which will reverse decisions made by his predecessor, former president trump. the executive actions will make changes to the us response to the covid—i9 pandemic and try to ease some of the financial strain placed on americans resulting from the pandemic. but other executive actions directly target and undo mr. trump's actions on the environment, immigration, the us census, and regulatory changes. a couple of hours ago president biden�*s press secretary, jen psaki, held her first briefing. she was asked how she and the presi

biden moved into the white house. we have seen a huge surge of people at the mexican border and clearly there are implications for refugees coming from other parts of the word on the supply to the middle east and to africa as well. and it does seem that the backtracking is the president is now saying that, by the 15th of may, he will indeed increase that cap to 62 and a half thousand orjust below. so there is a little bit of wiggle room. no definitive number but certainly significantly higher than 15,000. let's return to our main news now — the duke of edinburgh was the longest serving royal consort in british history. in that role, he undertook more than 20 thousand engagements in britain and around the world. in the past week — people who met the duke have been sharing their memories — as our correspondent danny savage reports. this is the legacy the duke of edinburgh has left behind. right, girls, so it's your silver d of e training day. on the weekend of his funeral, young people are now facing the challenge

the white - or not? well, he seems to be l backtracking. the white house or not? well, he seems to be - backtracking. the white house has doubled over its communication of this policy. just 2a hours ago the president indicated he would stick with the 50,000 cap that was enforced during the trump administration. he received a tremendous amount of criticism for that, not least from his own party and especially members of the progressive wing of the democrats wanted to see that number increased quite considerably. as indeed the president have pledged to do just a couple of months ago. he was talking more than 60,000 but said he was going to cap it at 15,000 because that was best for the country this time. the white house seems to blame the press spokeswoman, to blame the decimated refugee admissions programme. in other words the government body that deals with the processing of individual refugees but there does not seem to be an acknowledgement about how things have changed since president biden moved into the white house, there's been a huge surge of people at the

house and he has been sitting in the white house for most of the month, most of the weeks since he lost the presidential election. we do not have that right now since his twitter access has been taken away. i think there is some very real concern that at the moment donald trump is stewing in anger and resentment of what has happened. he is a consumer of media so he must be watching the media coverage of the violence on the hill and the violence on the hill and the reaction, the condemnation over his conduct. it will could lead to an unpredictable atmosphere. he has no schedule announced for tomorrow, it is unpredictable and in a concerning sort of way. how do you read what vice president penson mitch mcconnell are doing? today they broke with the president for the first time today. neither did what he wanted. but then they gave two addresses after the invasion in this crucial session and they do not mention the president at all or his responsibility for what just happened. all or his responsibility for whatjust happened. that what just happened. that was very interesting. it is almost l

you have got the white house saying that this is going to sew further division. there are republicans saying he ought to go. so that is the next 12 days. we don't know what donald trump might do or say next. last night, he was on autocue, he might let rip if not. so there's a lot of uncertainty. so let's look at where we are right now. because this has been a week of turbulence in a way that american history has not seen before. yesterday, 4,000 people died in one day of covid — the highest single total. today, the jobless totals have gone up. as well as that, we have seen the assault on congress. americans are divided, they are angry. this is donald trump's legacy but it's alsojoe biden's inheritance. john biden's inheritance. sobel reporting. according to a poll carried out since the violence on capitol hill, 70% of trump voters oppose the actions of the rioters, who acted in the president's name, 68% of americans disapprove of the president's behaviour in the run—up to the storming of congress. and 57% of americans want mrtrump removed from office as soon

housein possible mother run for the white house in 2024. but he did say that he wouldn't be starting another arm of the republican party, something that many republicans did fear that he could take a huge proportion of their support with him if he did, highly critical, not surprisingly, ofjoe biden and his presidency so far. that is it from me for now. you can reach me on twitter. thanks very much for watching. stay with us. hello there. we've got a quiet few days of weather coming up. some sunshine to come, some frosty mornings, a bit of fog around, as well. but there's a tendency for the weather to turn a bit cloudier over the next few days and certainly a lot colder by the end of the week, as well. right now, we are seeing some low cloud, some mist and fog patches move in across east anglia. they'll continue to spread westwards over the next few hours into the midlands, central and eastern parts of wales. could be a few fog patches elsewhere. where we keep the clear skies, though, it'll be cold with some frost, temperatures getting down

this is a reaction from the white house. we are workin: from the white house. we are working closely _ from the white house. we are working closely with _ from the white house. we are working closely with indian - working closely with indian officials to identify the needs officials to identify the needs of the crisis. we make it a big priority, including with our partners including india, in discussing vaccine creation and distribution for the future. we have also provided $4 billion to kovacs and have provided india with emergency supplies, pandemic training for health officials and ventilators. —— covax. it has been part of our effort including $1.4 billion in health assistance to india to help them prepare for pandemics in the future and deal with the current ones in the future. japan has announced emergency coronavirus restrictions to curb rising infections, just three months before the summer olympics. shops, restaurants and bars serving alcohol will be asked to close for two weeks from sunday. residents are being urged to stay at home. it's less than

because what we don't wa nt want to happen is for people to think trump is out of the white house now it is all over. the problem is much deeper than that for some it is notjust about social media, there is that as well. it is about some of the way in which fox news and other press has behaved, but it is deeper than that in the history of the us, racial oppression. inequality, huge inequalities. and biden will now have a big task on his hand. everyone around the world will be watching him. absolutely, yes indeed. let's go back to an american paper, the new york times. just talk us through what the paper is discussing here because it's suggesting that donald trump is said to have discussed pardoning himself. the paper can't specifically mention when this was... discussions were to have occurred whether it was before or since what happened on wednesday on wednesday on capitol hill. but lizzy regardless, it would just have people reeling undoubtably if this isa people reeling undoubtably if this is a serious thing. yeah, the paper reports that it's an idea that he had been mulling for a

the white house said the teams of both presidents would follow up on the meeting. as we pursue diplomatic channels, we will also prepare for all contingencies just as we have been doing for weeks now including through the preparation of specific responses to russian escalation should they be required. a statement released by the kremlin said mr putin had stressed russia should not be held responsible for tensions because nato was making dangerous attempts to take over ukrainian territory and increasing its military potential on russia�*s borders. ukraine has been celebrating the 30th anniversary of its armed forces. an adviser to the president said the country was gratefulforjoe biden�*s support and urged russia to use diplomatic means to ease regional tensions. the ball is now in moscow�*s court, all eyes will be on the ukrainian border to see what happens next. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. well, earlier i spoke to us defence policy expert michael 0�*hanlon from the brookings institution and asked what his take was on this conversation between presi
