a british fishing vessel in the latest post bricks of dispute about maritime writes . the un calls on sweden's military to restore the civilian led government, as co leaders dismissed several ambassadors. and former argentinian presidents are richer, micro faces espionage charges, in a case related to a submarine sinking. hi, i'm satisfied for the latest sport. the houston astros hit back against the atlanta braves level. they schools, world series and boss alone are looking for a new head coach off the sucking ronald truman. ah, welcome to the news hour. we begin in the u. s. where after months of negotiations, the presidents is announced a framework agreement for his social spending plan. it's a key corner stone of his administration. joe biden has in meeting with his party

at the capitol to urge them to back it. he'll lead all democrats in favor for it to pass the senate. the sweeping policy package initially came with a 3 and a half trillion dollar price tag, but it's been cut in half after a divisive negotiations. the president wants to plan in place before he head to the cop 26 summit in glasgow. we need to build america from the bottom up in the middle out. not from the top down with the trickle down economics says always failed us. i can't think of a single time in the middle classes done well that the wealthy haven't done very well. they get many times, including now in 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 fisher is joining us from washington d. c. hi alan. so tell us about the reaction that's coming through now that this framework agreement has been announced. well, joe biden thought this was so important. he actually delayed his trip to europe to make sure that he could go to capitol hill and speak to members of the house and say, please back this bill. it is important. he thinks he's got all the support. the white house is saying the framework is in place and he believes that that means the democrats will vote for it. they're not saying it's absolutely sat and then there's a lot of talking going on. capitol hill. in fact, at the moment, chuck schumer is involved in a zoom call with all 50 democratic senators and members of the white house staff. and there that explaining exactly what will be in the bill. i'm what joe biden wants to do now. joe biden thinks that this is a big political win for him. first of all, he thinks it will create jobs. it will help the economy. those things are very important. there's also

a huge provision in this to combat climate change. he thinks that to can create jobs by embracing new technology, but he also believes it'll move the us away from being so heavily carbon based and start doing things that will help combat the issue of carbon emissions. and he also thinks it will help odin american families. here's what the benefit comes from him . he thinks it will help when it comes to the midterm elections in 2022. when people go to the ballot box, then they won't be saying a, well joe biden didn't get this, this and this and the bill. but what he did get was that, and it made my life much better. that's what he's hoping. and that's why he wants to make sure this goes through both houses as quickly as possible, but more importantly, gets the full support of the democratic party. certainly people are saying, look, we want to see what's in these bills before we vote for them. bernie sanders says he still thinks there's time to make this bill even stronger republicans have said this is just going to fuel inflation and cri white spread,

an unemployment all the usual reactions. but there's still a lot of work to be done to get this framework into law and to become a bill. yeah. and that said, al, and so, i mean, it's been months of negotiations and wrangling. what happens next? they've got to go and talk to everyone. and 1st of all, the democrats have got to agree that they're going to vote. there's 2 bills at the moment that they're causing no an issue, but it's certainly how this plays out. i and the sequencing, there's an infrastructure bill, which is bipartisan already agreed, has got to go through the house. the senate essentially said, yeah, we were rubber stamp it. but there are those in the progressive caucus in the house . and the democrats who say we're not voting for that until we know that all 50 democratic senators are getting behind the 1.75 trillion dollar bill that will include all the help that improves care for the elderly,

a better schooling. it helps families does and climate change and does all that. so they're holding off the vote. nancy pelosi has got to decide which she brings up fast and, and that could dictate what happens on capitol hill over the next 4 or 5 days. joe biden would like this to happen pretty soon. nancy pelosi is already talking about keeping everyone in the hill to get these votes done by the beginning of the week. joe biden would love to arrive in glasgow and say, look, look what we've done in the united states. we're combating climate change. we're the world's biggest economy. you guys have to help with this as well. and you need to do the similar sort of thing that we've done. you would love that. there's no guarantee that that's going to happen at the moment. there's still a lot of talking to go on, you'd think, after 9 months, all the arguments have been exhausted. this is american politics and 2021. buckle up and hold on. all right, thank you so much. sharon fisher reported from the white house a we spoke to jason nichols earlier, his a democratic strategist. and he says that initially the president's build back

better plan was not presented well to the public. i think had he gone out there and said the things that many americans support like expanding medicare to cover vision and dental and hearing, you know, 84 percent of american support that 67 percent support universal pre k. but there were many americans who did not understand that bill back better had these things. it, what they heard was the republican talking point of the price tag, which by the way was $3500000.00. it's now down to $1.00, but that's over 10 years. so that's not immediately $1.00 trillion dollars. as soon as the president pointed out today, it can be paid for if billionaires pay their fair share, if corporations pay their fair share. so i just wish you had said these things earlier and articulated it earlier to the american people. i think the message to

democrats should be that if you want these things, you have to go out and vote and get democrats elected. they have a bigger majority in all of these houses, whether it's the senate or the house or the senate in the house, i should say. you will be able to get more of what you want. top also from some of the world's most powerful oil and gas companies are answering questions at a congressional committee for their firms roles and climate change shell x and mobiles b, p and chevron. our choose the funding campaigns a downplayed their effect on the environment for decades. the session comes days before the cop 26 climate gathering in glasgow. heidi so castro is joining us live from washington d. c. to talk to us about the significance of this hearing heidi, because it seems to be a big deal. yeah, accountability is the word of the our dream and the last time something like this

happened was when big tobacco in the ninety's with hall before congress. and that eventually led to settlements of more than $200000000000.00 paid out by that industry. well, today it's the turn of the oil chief, and they have been having their feet held to the fire under intense questioning from democratic members of the house, the oversight committee. that committee chair woman asking the ceo of exxon mobil for instance, about his reaction to a 40 year old memo, they really wouldn't digging deep here in this memo, written by a top exxon scientist at the time, warning management. at that time, in the 1980, that climate change could have quote, catastrophic consequences. while the seo of exxon mobil did not address that, the company at the time instead went on to bury that research and told the public that climate change may actually benefit the planet. so intense questioning. there

. now, course this is partisan, is all things here in washington. republicans on the committee were quick to come to the fios defense, saying that the oil and gas industry creates american jobs and warms american homes, drive cars here. but democrats who initiated this investigation say the hearing is only the very beginning of what's likely to be a very long verification to hold the oil companies accountable. ok, heidi, thanks so much for that update from capitol hill that hearing going on right now, we will speak to kathy movie. she's the accountability campaign director in the climate and energy program at union of concerned scientists. she's joining us by skype from boston. thanks for your time with us and i know that you said that the information revealed in the searing is a step forward and holding these companies accountable. how so? well, so this hearing comes in the context of investigative journalism revelations about

what exxon mobil shell, the american petroleum institute, and other players in this industry knew. and what they did in spite of what they knew, which includes engaging in a concerted campaign to spread disinformation about climate science and block action. so it's very important that the top executives of these, these companies and their industry groups are being brought before congress under oath. right. that's actually to answer question. yeah. and what will the hearing accomplish? so the hearing could bring new evidence to light the inquiry and the letter is that the committee sent to the companies have still not gotten an adequate response. so i know there will be follow up on that. and this is this keeping this issue in the

public. i will help build momentum for congressional action that can reduce emissions and accelerate the transition to clean energy and for other policies to strengthen corporate disclosures of climate related financial risks and political activity. and it also can, can bring information into the public eye that may be relevant, for example, to efforts to hold these companies accountable through the courts for climate damages and fraud. right, here's the thing, they have responded the executives and they defend their statements regarding climate science. there are evolving statements over the years and they've stressed that they do support global action on climate, including the paris accord. what do you think of their response? yeah, unfortunately their actions just don't match up with their words. and you know,

we're, we're seeing incremental moves by these companies to decrease their emissions tinkering around the edges of you know, but exxon mobil and chevron, for example, refused to take responsibility for reducing emissions from burning of their products, which is 80 to 90 percent of their impact on the climate, you know, we see them claim to support a policies, but at the same time, both that directly and indirectly, lobby against those very same policies. and there was a, a moment in the hearing where they, the executives from b, p, an shell were given the opportunity to tell the american petroleum institute to represent their skated positions in favor of electric vehicles. and they, they did not, they were silent rights. and some democratic lawmakers are saying that they do want

to model what's happening today. over the over the house is big tobacco probe, as it was known back in the 19 ninety's which revealed that companies had in fact, burried evidence that cigarettes were addictive and harmful. do you think there's a, a comparison to be made between both? yeah, i mean, there is definitely a comparison. these companies have employed a lot of the same strategies. they've been some cases in employed, some of the same p r firms and relied on some of the same scientists to spread this information. and there are an important efforts moving forward to, to hold these companies accountable through the, through the courts as happened with the, with the tobacco industry and, and they, they hearing in 1994 where that 7 tobacco ceos stood up and, and swore under oath that nicotine was not addictive, came just

a couple of months before mississippi, the 1st state to file a lawsuit to recover the health care costs of treating tobacco related illness happened. so this, there are, there are definitely important parallels at for the role of other congressional hearing and helping to hold corporations accountable for misconduct. thank you so much. kathy movie for joining us from boston. thanks very much serene. now a post brackson dispute. about fishing riots appears to be escalating france as threatening to deny british boats access to its sports because the u. k is not respecting previous agreements and her cements has more properties. trula seized by french maritime police who say the crew was fishing for scallops without a permit denied by its owners. it may sound like a small incident, but it's symptomatic of something much bigger. a potential escalation in

a post bricks it fishing rights dispute is causing much more than a ripple in u. k. french relations. it sites, for example, jersey. the british crown dependency only accepting a 3rd of the fishing permit applications from france. absolutely point on to felicity. it's time that we are respected as it's totally insufficient and totally unacceptable. so now we must talk the language of force, and unfortunately, i fear that is the only thing that this british government understands. but 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, there'll be rigorous french customs checks on incoming cargo and they won't be restricted to seafood, but britain isn't offering any concessions. the measures being fretted, did not appear to be compatible with the trade in co operation agreement or wider 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 flared up in may french trawlers 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 the but again, that number, it is non war. it's a fight. the french fishermen have some riots. an agreement has been signed. we must have this agreement implemented. we have fishing, right? we must defend them and we will defend france is also working on a 2nd round of sanctions if needed. and that could mean a reduction of electricity supplies to the u. k. josie is 95 percent dependent on french power. andrew simmons al jazeera fennimore had many is our including attention and talk about groups threatened to march to the capitol after

a day of violence. farmers ensure lanka, hol, protests against the government ban on chemical fertilizers, the cultivation. susan gets underway and in the south african crickets or who says he will now take the knee against racism after initially refusing to do so. ah. but 1st, the un security council has issued its 1st statement expressing serious concern about the military takeover and threw done coo leader of the han has dismissed at least 6 ambassadors after they spoke out against monday's take. over, there is increasing opposition both at home and abroad. us on us have called for the immediate release of civilian leaders here, but morgan has more from cartoon. people are still calling for civil disobedience and general trying to stay away from work, both at state and federal level. but they've been political moves to try to mediate

between the 2 side that is to say, between the civilian component of the, the post transition government and the military that took over on monday. now we've, we've heard statements from the you as well as from norway that they went to the residence of prime minister of the land and met with him and made sure that he was in good health. the, the united nations commission incident unit pam secretary and the special preventative of the u. s. security general. what does a statement think that the 2 sides should return to the constitutional declaration? that's the power sharing agreement that was signed between the forces of them and change election and the military on august 2019. so there are efforts to try to bring back the 2 sides, the military and the, and the force of freedom in change coalition. to return to that constitutional declaration, let's not forget that. when general han made the announcement on monday, he said that he was committed to that to that power sharing agreement with the exception of a few articles. but those are crucial articles,

articles that states the formation of the sovereignty council, which is shared between the military and the civilians. the executive cabinet, which was headed by prime minister albert ham dog and the rules and the authorities of those counsels as well as counseling as well as bringing back, bringing back the transition military council. the all of the there are political efforts and the metric efforts to try to bring those 2 sites back again to negotiating table. but the after the united nations also called for the release of the other political prisoners, including the members of the sovereignty council and executive cabinet who arrested on monday. christians salumi reports from the united nations. that's a fairly short statement. i have a copy of it right here, one page long, and it expresses serious concern about the military takeover in the suspension of some transitional government institutions. it also expresses concern about the detention of prime minister of dela hm, doc, and other government officials. a. the release also does

call for the release of those who've been detained, noting that the prime minister has been returned to his home and get calls for respect for human rights. in particular, the rights of protesters to be out on the street. it's important to note that the united nations integrated transition mission in sudan has been working there are to support the transition to elections and democratic institutions. and the statement also reaffirms that those efforts as so the council is basically a saying, it's very concerned about the situation there and, and, and calling for respect for these transitional institutions, rebels. and if you appeals northern to grow regions say the military has carried out. another era strike if you can, governments as a target at a site and mikella used by to ryan forces to make on repair weapons, but a to grow people's liberation front spokesman denied that sang the attack struck

him stand for the presidency again. so it's much more of an electro rally than of him coming here to declare his innocence. but that is the case. we believe the families of those victims of the submarine thinking also here in town. we haven't seen them yet, but they're here. these were the victims of the spying charges. they were campaigning at the time when the submarine disappeared in november, 2017. to find out what had happened to their loved ones, they wanted the authorities to tell the more. and instead, it seems to the accusation is that the authorities on to the orders of money feel mockery, that any president ordered them to be spied on to find out what it was they were. they were organizing to. that basically is the case, but it has split the country in many ways. those who were against notice your mockery when he was president and the current government, olga fernandez, who were obviously happy to win the elections a couple of years ago. and they would like to see this good this case come to the
