tbilisi. these elections have been overshadowed by the surprise reappearance of the countries, the president with news yesterday that michael sack actually had returns to georgia off the old these years in exile. and then finally, at the end of the day, the announcement that the former president had been arrested and sent to prison. he is now in detention and the election is going ahead. but of course, it's injected some real energy attention depending on which side you're on into this vote. with a lot of people now wondering whether that will be a significant change in the turn out. either people who supported the form of president motivated to come out after hearing his words yesterday, he called, but georgians to vote decisively against the governing georgia dream party. and

then to celebrate in the streets to morrow. but it may also backfire on, on him and his party and on the opposition because there are a great many georgians who don't think of me call sac has really as a force but goods. although he carried out a lot of reforms during his term in office, he's load spite a great many other georgians. those who thought that his approach his rule was increasingly authoritarian. and that is why he was sentenced in absentia the full abuses of power. he says that he now is a political prisoner. he continued still to cost a shadow over the georgian political scene and will now be waiting to find out whether or not his return is going to have a significant impact on george and politics. once we start getting the results coming in off the police stations close later today,

the united states passed the past 700000 death from cave at 19. it remains the worst effect and country accounting for 15 percent of the $4700000.00 fatalities worldwide. about 67 percent of eligible u. s. adults. awfully vaccinated, which leaves $70000000.00 who still have not received a shot despite them being widely available, free of charge. oscar lane is an epidemiologist. on a national public health official, he explained way of vaccination resistance is having the worst impact we're seen, significant pockets, of course, in the se, in the, in the mid west. and definitely in parts of, as we say, southern areas of our, of our country, which justly points to the fact that this of sustain activity, and especially the way it's in it's impacting the unvaccinated is, is such a concern,

especially as we talk about the fact that deaf rates or deaf counts that we see are lagging indicators. so by the time individuals are dying, we've already gone through a significant progression on these, which will continue to perpetuate, in our, in our society of forge the sad part of all this. when we think about data and more specifically around the access are, there are certain countries in the world where people still don't have access to vaccines. the vaccines are readily available, especially in attendance to individuals who may not necessarily be able to build themselves of it. and even so we've seen in this country alone, only about $64.00, roughly 65 percent that have gotten one dose at least one dose. but we look at the bully vaccinated that, but that percentage is roughly about 55 percent. so less than half or a little bit more than half sorry, our population are fully vaccinated. in the midst of a global pandemic, it's totally mystified. california will become the 1st you as state to make

progressive and conservatives in the democratic party are split on just how much money to spend, even though they all say they want the same things. now the members of the progressive wing, the more liberal wing, have been holding things up in the house of representatives. they say their members were sent because their voters want to see more spending on things such as health care, education, child care, and a clean environment. and they intend to deliver. they say without a guarantee that that $3.00 trillion dollar bill is going to be passed. they're not going to vote for the $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, which would improve roads, bridges, internet connections, telecommunications, and the nation's power grid. because of this political standing, the president was called in, basically to try to get the more conservative wing of the democratic party and the more liberal wing to find common ground. but even after that closed door entreaty,

they didn't really agree on what to do next. this is what the president had to say as he left capitol hill on friday afternoon. doesn't matter whether it's a 6 minute day or 6 week, we're going to get it done because members of the health did not vote on a full infrastructure bill. the one that's already been passed by the u. s. senate . they instead spent friday evening voting on a short term 30 day funding package to take care of as, until transportation industry needs. that means they're going to have to come back and deal with that matter in a months time. in the meantime, members of the house of representatives are going back to their districts across the country for the next 2 weeks. if negotiations turn out any sort of real compromise that members of the entire party are willing to support. they could be called back to washington, but as with everything here,
