'd to say. the u.s. house of representatives votes to hold and triple pandemic relief payments but also overrides president trumps veto on a defense bill. hello i'm adrian from again this is out us here alive from dover also coming up many of the agencies that are critical to our security kurt norma's. president elect joe biden warns america's ability to protect itself has been seriously weakened by the trumpet ministration. coated 19 restrictions tightened in

south africa at a surge in cases driven by a different variants of coronavirus and bangladesh moves another group of rango refugees to an isolated island despite concerns from rights groups. the u.s. house of representatives has voted in favor of president trump's demand for a 3 fold increase in direct stimulus payments to americans struggling during a pandemic but congressman of also of voted to override a presidential veto on defense spending it comes as president elect joe biden accused the trumpet ministration of risking national security by not giving his transition team all the information it needs also in jordan reports now from washington. members of the u.s. house of representatives interrupt their holiday break to decide whether to give americans $2000.00 each in the midst of the covert $1000.00 pandemic the bill is

passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table the vote in favor came after us president donald trump finally signed into law on sunday a bill giving americans a one time check for $600.00 even though he had said the amount should be higher i hope it will enjoy a strong bipartisan support the president of the united states has put this where there's something that he wants to see and terms and part of his signing the legislation yesterday i hope that that will be that view will be shared by the republicans in the senate but some republicans worried about increasing the budget deficit $600.00 per person is all the government could afford but looking at this bill today it makes me feel like we're in the parliament of afghanistan burundi

amun or bolivia do we really think the way to improve the quality of life for americans is to just print more money from the fed. if you look around we're going to be printing another $400000000000.00. the other business before congress overturning trump's veto of the annual military spending bill something both democrats and republicans agreed had to be done as congress works to keep both ordinary americans and the military afloat the incoming president is accusing donald trump of interfering with national security for political purposes joe biden made the accusation after meeting with his national security team right now we just aren't getting all the information that we need for the ongoing outgoing from now going to do stray shoe in key national security areas it's nothing short of more of you of irresponsibility. no comment from president trump just

and so it's likely that because the bill passed in the house for those same reasons we'll probably see it carry in the senate and be the 1st successful override a presidential veto during the trumpet ministration on the original coronavirus relief package congress negotiated with the president's coterie secretary steve nugent and it looked like the original packaging that the president's satisfaction but then the president reversed course arguing for 2 $1000.00 checks and that probably bothered or ticked off some members of the congressional delegation we saw that $44.00 republican members supported this new higher spending bill in defiance of their the majority of their party and so we're starting to see splits and republican delegation this delay does not help the country's recovery certainly these direct cash payments are necessary particularly for essential workers for frontline workers who may not have access to health care or other kinds of employment benefits and so this delay does hurt workers as well. the government of

a poor and conservative community in the province of santa fe but her life changed when her teenage daughter who was pregnant was diagnosed with cancer in her job own . she was one month pregnant and i told the doctor why don't you do an abortion because she has 3 children but they said no that a judge needed to get involved my daughter needed chemotherapy and no one wanted to help her and i might yessiree the was 19 when she died doctors kept her in a hospital until she gave birth so she could begin the treatment but the tumor almost covered her entire face neither she nor the baby survived and many here are making a run i said only said they would do an ethical meeting while we waited on the streets with my grandchildren and i was pushing them so that they would begin treatment the ethical meeting was with the priests i wanted to save my daughter. that i might be off death shows that even though abortion is legal in argentina in

cases of rape or if a woman's life if i don't risk it finds lots of resistance when it comes to implementing the law especially in places like this one where poor women have almost no we sources to fight for their rights. as the senate gets ready to vote on legalizing abortion stories like those of us on her daughter show how entrenched anti-abortion culture is in argentina's most remote regions. in spite of this health authorities say at least. half a 1000000 irregular abortions happen every year and many women end up in hospital because of complications. and that's one of the reasons why pro-abortion activists have been taking to the streets for years wearing the color green the symbol of their campaign. early in december the lower house of congress approved a bill which would allow interruption of pregnancies until the 14th week the senate

vote is expected to be close and there is an ally of. the senate is much more conservative and we know this we're very conscious of this we also know that last year there was an election that renewed the legislative chambers and so there are more senators willing to make history and 30 to democracy that we have with $3200.00 women who've died in democracy and for all of us who are still alive and all future generations to come but the debate has polarized society that has close ties with the catholic church pope francis is argentinean and has been lobbying against the. well get costa anything can happen with the result of this vote because we have a president who is taking it upon himself to demonstrate the worst of corrupt politics which is to go to his own party politicians and ask them to vote even though they may be opposed a president who is showing no mercy with his law because he thinks it will be his administrative victory and his end of year victory of victory that people like not

a whole will guarantee what happened to her daughter will not happen to anyone else that is how will. argentina. it is good to have you with us hello adrian figure here in doha the headlines and i was here at the u.s. house of representatives is back to 3 fold increase in direct print demick relief checks to 2 $1000.00 the measure will need a 2 thirds majority in the senate to pass the house is also over to trump's veto of the and the old defense spending bill russell and jordan reports from washington. congress voted for this spending measure to fund the military through tobar 1st 2021 the president objected to the legislation for a number of reasons and decide and voted it and vetoed it.
