8:01 pm
dismiss several ambassadors and former argentinean president. my rich mockery appears in court for submarines, thinking that filled 44 people. ah, so we begin in the us where after months of negotiations the president has announced a framework agreement for his social spending plan. it's a key cornerstone of his administration. joe biden has been meeting with his party at the capital to urge them to back it to lead all democrats in favor for us to pass the senate. the sweeping policy package initially came with a 3 and a half trillion dollar price tag, but has been cut in half after a divisive negotiations. the president wants to plan in place before he heads to the call 26 summit in glasgow. we need to build america from the bottom up in the middle out. not to the top, down with the trickle down economics says always failed us. i can't think of
8:02 pm
a single time in the middle classes done well that the wealthy haven't done very well. they get many times including now and the wealthy. the super wealthy do very well in the middle class. don't do. well, that's why i propose the investments congress is now considering in too critical piece of legislation. positions i ran on as president positions. i announce one i laid out in a joint session of congress, what my economic agenda was. these are not about left versus right or moderate versus progressive. alan fish as joining us from washington d. c. so talk us through what bite and god and what he didn't get. yeah, and this isn't a done deal yet. i mean, people have been talking on capitol hill and the progressive caucus see that they're looking at the details of what you're biding has put forward, and they'll make a decision on their vote. joe biden thinks he's got all the democratic senators on
8:03 pm
board, including your mission and their kristin cinema, who are the 2 people who are really holding out. but bernie sanders is now saying, look, he wants to make this bill a lot better. so this is by no means a done deal. he's lost a few things that he wanted paid family leave that score and initially was going to be 12 weeks than 4 weeks. completely out the bill. now they're going to be other things that have been thrown out as well, including an attack on prescription prices here, and also an expansion of medicare, which you include at dental and vision. but what he does get is better elder care, better as skill provision for children under the age of, of both the age of $3.00 and $4.00, essentially ad there's going to be, i discontinued child tax credit for families who, who are essentially middle class who will be able to claim that it's around $300.00 per child. i for the next year or so, so that those are big wins for joe biden. and he, when he set his plans are of 3.5 trillion. i don't think any one in the white house
8:04 pm
thought they would get everything at so he's got a bet i barack obama has the last are po statement saying this is a fundamental leap forward. and there are many on the left of the democratic party who would agree with that that, that does a lot of good. 1.7 trillion is still a lot of money, but it's not a done deal. he still got to get it through the house and then get it through the senate. and to do that, he's got to make sure that the democratic party is united because we're already hearing republic rumblings from republicans who are saying they are not going to support this. not just because they don't think it does enough for ordinary americans. but some of them are saying you shouldn't be attacking the wealth makers such as the billionaires. and that, of course, is weird to buys and thinks he will be able to pay for this by taxing billionaires and companies that make over $1000000000.00 a year. yeah, oh and here's the thing. he gave his remarks and he left without taking any questions, but there are still some questions. and one of the biggest ones is does he have
8:05 pm
enough votes to pass this? exactly. you don't take questions when you don't have the answers. do you and he thinks every one is on board with this. the white house is not saying this is a done deal. it's all put together. every one signed up. he knows that are still problems that have been problems since he floated this when he was running for election. and there's been problems since he got into the white house. there have been discussions with all flanks of the democratic party. this isn't about republicans or democrats. this is about democrats and democrats and various wings of the party, and people who want certain things and don't want to do other things. and them coming together, joe biden says if they can do that, they will then be able to get it through the house. and the senate, but it might not be in a part of bipartisan basis, which he would like. but he talks about working together and he thinks he's brought the wings of the democratic party together to push this through. the next few days
8:06 pm
will all be important. now there's talk that nancy pelosi is going to keep everyone on the hill over the weekend to get the infrastructure bill through. and then to get this 2nd bill through which is the bill back. better act as it will become no one. they want to deliver a victory to joe by before he gets to glasgow before he starts talking climate change because there are big provisions to protect the climate in that bill. and he wants to be able to go to glasgow and say, look, we're doing it. others need to do as well if the 2nd biggest economy in the world can do it. every one else can do it too, so you've got to get behind action to fight climate change. thank you so much, allen, for sir. reporting from the white house now. tar bosses from some of the world's most powerful oil and gas companies are answering questions at the u. s. senate for their firms roles and climate change. show x m o b, p, and chevron. all the choose the funding campaigns that downplayed their effects on the environment. for decades, the session comes days before the call 26 climate gathering in glasgow. how does
8:07 pm
the castro has this update from washington d. c? this could be a historic appearance. it is the 1st time that these top oil chiefs are going to testify are testifying under oath before congress, and their feet will be held to the fire. the democrats who call for this hearing before the house oversight committee. they've already collected documents. they say that's evidence showing these companies knew as early as the 19 seventy's that the continual burning of fossil fuels was leading to dramatic consequences for the environment. and that rather than make that knowledge public, they buried it and embarked on a coordinated campaign to oppose climate science and climate action. now, at the, the democrats who called for this hearing are hoping it has some impact. similar to the 19 ninety's big tobacco hearings, which were very consequential that eventually led to some $200000000000.00 in
8:08 pm
settlement. that big tobacco played out and the hearing is continuing right now. a post bricks. a dispute about fishing rights appears to be escalating. france was threatening to deny british boats access to wit sports because the u. k is not respecting previous agreements. andrew summons has more. a british trula seized by french maritime police who say the crew was fishing for scallops without a permit deny bites owners. it may sound like a small incident would it's said to matic of something much bigger, a potential escalation in a post bricks. it fishing rods. dispute was causing much more than a ripple in u. k. french relations. it's like, for example, josie, the british crown dependency only accepting a 3rd of the fishing permit applications from frosts up should you mind, don't you, phyllis, victor, it's time that we are respected us. it's totally insufficient and totally
8:09 pm
unacceptable. so now we most talk the language of force. i'm unfortunately, that is the only thing that the british government understands. no. the threats go beyond banning british trawlers from offloading their catches at french ports because this only amounts to a small proportion of exports without a settlement to the dispute before next tuesday, they'll be rigorous french customs checks on incoming cargo, and they won't be restricted to sea food, but britain isn't offering any concessions. the measures being threatened did not appear to be compatible with the trading cooperation agreement or why the international law. and if carried through will be met with an appropriate and calibrated response. this isn't the 1st time the fishing rights issue has fled up in may, french troll is blockaded the main port in jersey. the british and french deployed a naval presence during the protests. this time, france seems unwilling to back down on demands again to talk home,
8:10 pm
