within the democratic party. it is one of the biggest upgrades of roads, railways, bridges, and airports in the us. politicians have put off voting on biden's social welfare bell until later in the month. let's go to our correspond heidi joe castro, who's in washington. d. c. adams and been watching this vote closely. so there's been a lot of touring and throwing when it's come to this votes. it has now passed. they'll be a lot of relief in the body pelosi camp that it's managed to go through, talk us through what's happened. absolutely moline, this, what we're seeing now as the vote is being close. this is the finale to a month long game of brinkman ship that we've seen displayed within factions of the democratic party. and it certainly has been an uncomfortable time for president biden. and for house speaker nancy pelosi this morning, president biden said to the nation, he wanted this bill deliver to his desk by evenings and it looks like that is going

to happen. the hold up here was because liberals within the democratic caucus, in the house of representatives, had had been withholding their support for this infrastructure bill. that's because they wanted to use this moment really as leverage for the bigger social welfare spending bill that is still pending. and that is notably still in limbo before the house. now they had demanded that both of those bills were considered simultaneously, but at the very last men, in fact, we got word of this just a few minutes ago from the chair of the progressive caucus. the progresses relented saying that they would go forward with this infrastructure vote, which they have just delivered on. and they would agree to withhold that bigger vote if you will, on the social spending bill for 2 weeks down the road. that was the compromise that democratic leadership. how speaker nancy pelosi had proposed to try to get both

sides together saying yes, all the democrats really wanted to pass is infrastructure bill. ah, but it was still not the right timing for the moderate democrats who had concerns about the high price tag nearly to $22.00 trillion dollars for the social spending bill. however, after this vote wraps up on the infrastructure, we do expect them to take a 2nd vote which would at least advance the social spending bill pushing it toward a final vote in about 2 weeks time. right sir. another 2 weeks for the entire package to be voted on. talk us through about this particular piece of legislation . how significant is it? what difference will it make to people's lives? right, this infrastructure bill, it's, it's one pillar of president biden's domestic agenda. it totals about one trillion dollars more than half of which will go to a renovating the nation's aging infrastructure, highways, roads,

bridges. but there is also significant amounts of money being spent on expanding broadband internet access and mitigation for climate change for localities. i and the white house saying that overall it will create millions of jobs in over the next decade. but at the white house has been clear on this as well. this is just one of pillar of the president's domestic agenda, that 2nd one on the social welfare that is even bigger, that would include expanding access to health care, universal pre k education for all american children. i as well as more significant a climate action in all the way how saying when you take 2, these 2 pieces of legislation together, they will amount to, ah, one to one of the greatest expansions of federal government in a generation. both on this infrastructure front which is passing before our very

eyes at this moment and on the social welfare legislation, which again appears to have the support now to pass within 2 weeks time. although moderates are still saying they want to see the final figures before pushing it over the finish line, but just let me and this after that bill is donna in the house. if the house passes in 2 weeks, the social bill, it still has to pass the senate and there's still a hurdle there. and the whether or not that truly becomes laws still very much in question. ok, many thanks. breaking that down. first heidi joe custer, that for us in washington, dc. china plans to prevent people who support taiwan, independence from entering hong kong, macau, or its mainland. the comments come a day off to european union delegation, visited taiwan jamila, adding doug and reports for me, the message from members of the european union parliament to taiwan is clear. you

drove out into all of on china goose the european union, the correct it's mistakes and not assembled wrong signals, but they want independence forces. so as not to have a serious impact on china, you relations away, either official, say isolating taiwan is with fuels the dispute between the island and beijing. it's not a pro cation to come to k one. it should be no more. and this is a myth is we are sending, we don't think that it's adding oil on fire. we think it's the contrary. the more we sure we care about our relationship with day one, the lease champs you have to enter into a conflict in beijing. the parliamentary officials say europe must veer away from its previous approach on china, which these seem to have contributed to the decline of democratic freedoms in hong kong. the tree, the trip is expected to be the 1st of many,

the members of the parliament say it is important for europe to see ty, one as a strong democratic power, capable of standing up on its own. jim l as in dog and al jazeera manila. the top here unofficial in bosnia herzegovina has warned that the p steel that ended the war 26 years ago is under threat. the bosnian serb liza miller, our deck has announced plans to establish a separate army within the country. jamal l child reports from soluble plans by the bosnian serb leadership to exit some of the country's tripartite institutions, including the military and drew dish. we are described by the international communities. hi, representative christy schmidt is tantamount to cessation the constitute, she sees the greatest existential threats of the postwar period. he's talking about bosnian serb leader miller, a dick who's threatening to former militia in the serb run entity of republicans,
