a fish, to protest against the co. continuing in sudan, the united nations makes its strongest move yet it stopped short of condemning the military and good by facebook. hello matter. will a corporate name change tackle the social networks problems? ah, well, welcome to the program, our top story, u. s. president joe biden says he believes he secured enough support for his signature, $1.00 trillion dollars spending package. he took the right step of meeting with senators on their own turf at the capital to urge them to back the economic climate focus. bill and fisher reports on this now from the white house. it's taken months of negotiation, but you as president joe biden, though, believes he is a framework for his signature piece of legislation. he went to capitol hill to

suite any last minute. daughters arching his party to take the when the bill as it stands, doesn't deliver all he wanted. it's been trimmed down from 3.5 trillion to 1.75 trillion. he's lost free community college, he's lost pete family leave. he's lost a drive on prescription drug prices, but the president is convinced this will help the u. s. recover from the economic shock from covered and help ordinary americans sworn. we spent hours and hours and hours over months and months working on this. no one got everything they wanted including me, but that's what compromises that's consensus. and that's what i ran on. that's pretty cool. some of the things this bill provides free preschool for 3 and 4 year olds, approve care for the elderly, and huge tax credits to move americans away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. and the tenured cost of those charges will be paid for with higher taxes

for those adding more than $10000000.00 a year. and companies with more than $1000000000.00 a year profits. but republicans don't like it trying to dollars and spending major expansions of government agencies and even more inflation that will lead to higher cost for all americans. those are on the table. now. there are plenty of democrats who wanted much more than the bill. it was simply wasn't the votes across the board to push them through. joe biden wanted the, when it's not the deal, he promised not the deal he campaigned on, but it does deliver on a few key issues. he hopes it will help with important elections next week and also with the midterms. know exactly one year away. and he can go to the g 7 in italy and cop 26 in glasgow until other world leaders that the u. s. is doing something significant about climate change and they have to follow. the only has to deliver is the united party and the successful vote. allen fisher al jazeera at the white

house. not less cross now to fill val who is in washington and so you have the social spending plan that alan was just talking about, but then separate, you also have this infrastructure bill and there is a fair bit of uncertainty over that. yeah, absolutely. and in the last few minutes, we've actually heard from the caucus representing progressives in congress. that is said that it will not be voting for this infrastructure bill without the build better plan. so you know elliott, nancy pelosi, she was not very happy. she said that her patience was wearing thin. she said that her fuse is running low. you can only imagine how close the fuse might be blowing. now, blowing now that she's had this latest development because these are 2 separate bills . but they're all so kind of linked that it's quite convoluted, but i'll just explain why he called the bill. the album is just referring to the build a better plan than you've got this infrastructure bill, which is worth $1.00 trillion dollars. now this infrastructure bill speak to all of those points. remember a year ago, joe biden campaigning to be president saying i will reach out across the io. i will

work with republicans. and that's exactly what he's doing here. he's got the buy in from republicans, but now he's got the problem that some within his own party, or he's saying that they won't vote for this bill without the build better plan again like we just had. and that statement. and the reason for that is because there are some elements on the build, better plan who are perhaps not going to vote for that. and they, they don't want to be in that position where they essentially get double crossed, where they vote in the infrastructure plan. and then those holdouts on the bill back, that's a plan. don't follow through. so there any way that they can ready and force the fact and force this through to make sure that they hold both votes together. now that's not what nancy pelosi wants at all. she has been trying to win the votes all day. she's being trying to call their bluff and essentially say to these people, do not embarrass the president, do not embarrass him. push this bill through, but she's had very little look now it appears that the vote almost certainly is not going to happen. at least not tonight. i'm the president hurtling through the skies

. but the real turbulence married right here on the grounds on capitol hill seems to be thank you very much. phil laval in the development. the former new york governor andrew cuomo has been charged with a misdemeanor sex crime months off to resign. following sexual harrison and proud coma is accused of inappropriately touching a former aid. last year, he's been summoned to appear in court on november 17th, 63 year old resigned as governor in august after 10 and a half years in office following an investigation which found he sexually harassed 11 women. he's long denied any wrong doing that previously apologize to any actions that made people feel uncomfortable. ah, the u. k. as some in the french ambassador off to the seizure of a fishing boat and fresh of sanctions in a row over the right to catch fish and u. k. waters. the dispute is over zone in the english channel, $6.00 to $12.00 more cal miles from the british shore. france,

respective. 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 will 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 threatened did not appear to be compatible with the trade in cooperation 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 fled 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 it, but again, just a coma. it is non war. it's a fight. the french fishermen have some riots. is an agreement has been signed with . we must have this agreement implemented. we have phishing right. we must offend them and we will defend france is also working on the 2nd round of sanctions if they 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 or her un security account says, calling on sedans, military lead us to restore this civilian lead. government council issued its 1st statement on the christ is expressing serious concern about the takeover that stopped short of condemnation cruelly to under for the upper hand. is dismissed at least 6 ambassadors after they spoke out against mondays. takeover kristin salumi has more on the reaction from the un. it'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, abdullah, hum, doc and other government officials. 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 those efforts. so the council is basically a saying,

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 the dimensions 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 deformation of the sovereignty council, which is shared between the military and the civilians. the executive cabinet, which was headed by prime minister abil dog and the roles and the authorities of those councils as well as counseling as one of the bringing but bringing back the transition military council. the all of the, there are political efforts and diplomatic efforts to try to bring those 2 sides back again to the 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 capital,

that covers these sorts of important stories. at the same time, i think we need to look very carefully at what fits. because doing you know, in by, in naming itself meta, which is a reference to metaphors. facebook is actually not only shifting the story that we're going to be covering, but it's actually in a sense for those of us who are analyzing it, basically saying that we are the internet, our entire goal is to be the internet. so what facebook is essentially attempting to do is centralize the decentralized internet, many of us experience every day. what does that basically mean? it means all the different kinds of applications that facebook has will be integrated. and it actually basically means that facebook is looking at itself and its goals are to basically be, you know, our bedfellow. no matter what we do or where we go when we use our phones or when we are online watching out their life from london still had for you on the program
