4:02 pm
if you say by them, believes this version can win the support of all democrats, something that will be necessary for it to pass in a closely divided senate. the sweeping policy package initially came with a $3500000.00 price tag and bought and struggled to get moderate democrats on democrats rather on board. he now thinks he can push through the revised steel for 1.9 trillion president once the plan in place before he heads to the cop 26 summit in glasgow. allan fisher has been covering this for us and joins us live from washington. they say hello there, ellen, tell us what are the ins and outs of this revised plan and what will and won't the president get will you remember you want to $3.00 trillion dollars to spend on new projects? he's not getting that much. he's getting 1.75 trillion recording to someone i was speaking to in the last hour or so that's still a lot trillion. so what is he going to get for it? well, and then better child an elderly care, there's going to be free. kindergarten and preschool accommodations for young
4:03 pm
children as well as the child family tax credit, which means about $300.00 to most american families per month. that's going to be extended for at least another year. it won't go on indefinitely, as he had hoped. there's going to be clean energy tax credits, which he hopes will boost manufacturing. and there's going to be an expansion of healthcare. he believes this will bring 7000000 uninsured americans into the fold and give them some level of cover. so what is it not going to get? well. 1 there's no action and prescription charges, they simply don't have the votes to try and bring that down. there's going to be no free tuition at community college. that was a big thing for bernie sanders and hes supporters as well. and as i say, this does not as big as it was going to be in, there's no paid family leave and he wanted to do that. america lags behind the rest of the g 7 countries when it comes to providing paid family leave. initially that started at 12 weeks, it went down through negotiations to 4 weeks. now we believe it is at 0 at it,
4:04 pm
he wants to sell this to democrats to say, look, this is important that we get a went on the board. so he hopes that he'll be able to get people to vote for this . and alan, has he been a good enough for 1000 then will he be able to get this plan passed? well, he's delayed his trip to the g 7 so that he can go and meet democrats on the hill on the house side. he's going to say to them like 1.75 trillion might not mean everything that you wanted, but this is still a when he's saying it's important that the democrats get a win on the board, particularly because there's 2 big gum notarial elections next week in virginia and new jersey. he wants to win them and he's also got an eye on the midterms next year as well. and when people vote, they're not going to vote on the basis of what did your by not get in his bell. they're going to vote on the basis of is my life better because job, i've managed to get this past. so he is going to push this very hard. what the
4:05 pm
white house is seeing is that the think this is something that every democrat can sign on to. but as we've seen over the last few weeks, there's been a lot of n fighting between the democrats as one side. once there's another side warned that he hopes this is a middle ground that everyone can sign up to and he's hoping to get this deal done particularly. so he can go to glasgow and say, look, when it comes to climate change, america's doing it cheer. you need to win as well, but also on the wider political agenda. he will present this as a big win for joe biden, and for the democrats. allen, thank you for the update and i doubt will cross back to you as the afternoon and followed to an fisher their life rest from washington. d. c. u k says threads by france to block british boats from its port sarah, breach of international law. it's the latest escalation is huge. linked to a post rex, it fishing agreement. the comments come up to france seized
4:06 pm
a british boat fishing in its waters without a license. harris is threatening sanctions if the ye how doesn't grant more licenses to french fishermen in you came waters. the british government says any sanction would be met with the appropriate retaliation. it is very disappointing to see the comments that came from france yesterday. we believe these are disappointing and disproportionate and not what we'd expect from a close ally and partner the measures being threatened. do not appear to be compatible with the trade and cooperation agreement, or why the international law. and if carried through will be met with an appropriate and calibrated response. went on, she said it's time for us to get them to speak to. i stand by the fact we issued threats and pursued dialogue until now i feel since allowed our fishermen to have a bit over half of the fishing licenses, we have to also see the glass half full, but that's not enough and not acceptable at all. so now we need to speak the
4:07 pm
language of strength. since that seems to be the only thing the british government understands when i left her life to andrew simmons who's been following the story for us from london. hello there, andrew. what's the latest in this tips attached? over these fishing runs, well as single vessel is trula, that was fishing for scallops, is in law for port. it was taken there, skirted there by the maritime police. it's been seized. it can't move. the accusation is that there was no permit to fish in french waters that's denied by the owners of this vessel. now, this may seem like a small incident, but it's indicative of a much bigger crisis that's threatening to escalate. still further, a you mentioned earlier, the threat from france. well it's, it's more than a single threat. there is a whole list of, of measures they are threatening on the 2nd of november next tuesday if britain
4:08 pm
doesn't start granting more fishing licenses. and now let's just explain about these licenses. this is an agreement that was of made in the tray deal with on breaks it. it was fraught with issues. france was never happy with it. the you agreed to it, and there are something like, according to brittany, 1673 licenses to e. you vessels in the 6 to 10 miles zone surrounding britain. also, they, the waters of the channel islands, particularly the crown, dependent to the you, k crown dependent of island of jersey, which is specifically a major controversy with france because a 3rd of the licenses only a 3rd of the licenses applied for in those waters have been accepted, but britain says that 70636 of the 161600 73 licenses belong to france. now france say that isn't right, they have but,
4:09 pm
but the figure of 98 percent of license successes from france is not the case. so we are heading towards a conflict here of the a verbal conflict of the very least. but france says that it will ban all offloading of seafood, a british ports of france, french ports. furthermore, because that's only a small amount of the exports to france, it will also increase customer checks on freight and not just with seafoods, but other goods as well. that will cause a lot of problems. furthermore, along with other measures, there is a 2nd wave of action planned. not too much is known of that, but they're not denying the french and not denying that they're seriously looking at the power supplies to the u. k. the export of electricity, particularly the channel islands, which is a, were supplied under submarine us up bring a channel across the english channel that is
4:10 pm
a threat. so we have here a situation that could easily get really quite serious unless the can be some com in the way that the 2 sides talking to each other right now. it's pretty heated, settling sands at thank you for the update. andrew simmons live for us in london. all right, let's bring in now would have a rahman and he's the managing direct. if so, europe at the political risk consultancy, great eurasia. great, thanks for joining us. em which? tabitha festival. can you give us a brief rundown of what the u. k and france are actually fighting about so i think the issue is a lot bigger than fish. frankly, i think this is the thin edge of the wedge. now it's an issue of this lead us been reported over the course of yesterday evening, but i think if you look back several weeks, there are big disagreements over immigration flows. and if you go back a little bit further, there's also disagreement. if you think about the orcus parks and how that came
4:11 pm
together and the extent to which the french felt that cuts across what it was trying to achieve in the pacific, some of its diplomatic outreach to china. i think that's also been a factor. and of course cit thing underneath are on top of all of these conflicts is a very difficult you, k e u relationship with the u. k. government. now seeking a full renegotiation of the brett's it, vo into it reached and, and, and, and ratified in 2019. so there are very many points of tension. fish is one of them, but there are very, very many, i'm sorry, is this dispute in danger? of spinning out of control and what would be the ramifications if that did happen? so i think there is a problem and the problem is the manual matter on faith is a fairly difficult election next april. not because macro mo, lose. but because the trajectory of the coven pandemic in economic implications
4:12 pm
also uncertain. one cannot be sure about the risk of new variance crossing the channel and having an impact on restrictions and subsequent economic activity that ultimately presents a risks for mac cronan, i think heading in to the uncertain election cycle. standing up for french interests and especially french fishermen against what is perceived to be a u. k. foot dragging on applications and licenses, i think will play well for him domestically intellectually. so given that electoral context, i do think it's going to be difficult to find resolution in the short term. what does that mean? i think it means that there will be lots of friction in the relationship. i think the reporting yesterday evening about franz shutting off the power in jersey, i think is, is, is completely inaccurate. the french have been play, they're not going to do that. but while they are talking about is restricting supply or raising the price. but i think that would be
4:13 pm
a to 2nd stage. in the 1st instance, i think they hope some of the pressure they're now bringing to bear will, will, will force you k government to take a these applications for some of the small boats and fishermen that have been in these waters especially close to the english and the jersey coast have been fishing for centuries, frankly in these waters, as thought that some of those applications can now be greenlighted merged. have i have spoken about some of the broader issues surrounding this display bit? can we talk about specifically these fishing grounds and why they're so highly sought after? yeah, i mean, i think look, the brakes it deal. the orange johnson stroke was done with the commitment and increase capturing quotes of the u. k. fisherman in u. k. waters. this was part of the narrative of, of taking control. so i think that's part of the reason the government is now is,
4:14 pm
is now doing what it's doing. and indeed, is it's foot dragging on the french side, as i say, you know, they feel many fishermen but livelihoods that communities depend on access to these waters. and as a result was the licenses that they were applied for to be granted. and i think that that's really, you know, that the number of the issue there were no, there were no numbers in the brakes. it deal that was negotiated in concluded in 2019 it simply said, if you can demonstrate her, but you have been fishing in these waters 6 to 12 miles in that zone, then you have access to those waters. my think a lot of these communities and a lot of these french fishermen feel they'd pass by evidence test evidence metrics and the government system are bronzing their application. well, thank you for your insights. we appreciate you explaining what is quite a complex story in which time jazz module tba rom and the managing director for your, of at your age. your great, thank you. thank you,
