9:11 pm
to the u. s. now where president joe biden says he's one trillion dollar infrastructure bill passed on friday is a once in a generation investment that will create millions of jobs. it had been repeatedly delayed because of differences among democratic party members. another vote on a social welfare bill will be held later in the month. yesterday, i don't think is. the exaggeration suggests that we took a monumental step for an estimation. we learned that our economy created $5600000.00 jobs since we took office in january 20th recent unemployment rate of 4.6 percent to 4 years earlier than the vast majority economist projected that would happen. and we've just, we're just getting started. we did something on that long overdue that long has been talked about the war should, but never actually been done. let's bring in the christine polosa, who is
9:12 pm
a democratic party political strategist and joins us live from san francisco. hello there, christine, thanks for joining us. why has the spending package being so important to jo biden's agenda? i think it's important to the american agenda. you know, i read in my book about my mother, nancy pelosi, the nancy pelosi way. her very 1st meeting with president elect donald trump. nearly 5 years ago now was one in which they discussed infrastructure, and he said he wanted to pass an infrastructure bill. and every week we're supposed to be infrastructure which week. but the republicans simply refused to pay for it by taxing the very wealthy. and so what happened when joe biden was running for president, much like much of your news cast, we had floods, we had fires, we had devastation all over the country, and there was an urgent need to fix our failing infrastructure. and joe biden made a promise that he would build back better,
9:13 pm
and he also promised that he could do that in a bipartisan way. and that is why this victory is so important, both for the 700000 jobs of war. it can create the year. but also for the help that will give communities who are currently either underwater suffering from wildfires or coming out of these natural disasters with already aging infrastructure that our american association of civil engineers gives the entire country a c minus. and a lot of states like california, a deep, that's why this is so important because we really need to keep people safe, get people back working and get our supply chain moving again. to get to this point though, they were hours of wrangling between democrats that ended up in a patch between progressives and centrist. what does that say about the internal politics of the democrats? well, i think it says when you have razor thin majority for 5050 in the senate,
9:14 pm
50 republicans, 48 democrats to independents who vote with democrats and then vice president commer harris at the tiebreaker. and in the house, you have a very narrow majority. now, to 21 to 213, it means that you can only lose a handful of votes in the house and none in the senate, if you're going to do something on partisan terms. and since the republicans have decided that they want to make joe biden a one term president, and they will not give him the vote, he need to advance his agenda. democrats have to have unanimity in a party that is never known for unanimity, but the good news was with this bill last night that 13 republicans did go along, along with many, many republicans, senators had this summer. and so the good news that infrastructure, i think they took the partisanship out of it by making it bipartisan. and you'll hear a lot of mayors over the coming days. democrats, republicans, independence, non partisan. they think, goodness,
9:15 pm
the money is coming in. so what it says about the dynamic is that when you have a big, big tense and a big open table, you have to make sure that everybody is heard because every single person could be the person who knocked over the 10 and up and the agenda. and excellent analogy, christine, one of the next steps in actually getting this package through while right away we started this morning. actually i've been working for many years with a lot of women's advocates, and we are fighting to make sure that have family leave that speaker. nancy pelosi put back in the bill on the how side stays in the bill and is a cornerstone of this. we have a promise from the president of the united states that he is going to fight for this agenda and fight for a vote to happen. the week of november 15th, so congress is home this week for veterans day and next week they will be back and they will be voting on this bill. and so our job between now and then as democratic
9:16 pm
activists and as non partisan paid family leave activists is to make sure that while we are pleased with the infrastructure bill, we know that november 15th, we have another monthly installment of the biden child tax credit. that get hundreds of dollars to families each month. but we want to make sure that we keep our coalition together, that we take the victory of yesterday and we build on it and say it's important to have the roads and bridges and broadband. and it's also important to make sure that you have jobs and care and living wages for the people who are driving and being transported across those roads and bridges and using that broad band. so that will be doing, taking a short victory lapse, but mostly pushing for the 2nd part of the president's agenda for we appreciate your insight. thank you very much, christine pelosi, democratic party, political strategist, live from san francisco. thanks for your time. my pleasure. thank you. to sedan
9:17 pm
now, where probably democracy activists is stepping up the pressure on the military to restore a civilian lead government. the sudanese professionals association has called for a general strike on sunday and monday general abdel of fata albert hans also under increasing international pressure. the french foreign ministry says it's now reconsidering whether. busy to scrap ca, terms, $5000000000.00 debt to paris here. but morgan has more from the capital while talks between the military headed by general abdel for the hon and the civilian component . or rather the efficacy. the civilian coalition has so far failed to produce any results, despite mediation efforts by the united nations, despite called by the united states for with duration of the civil and transitional government. and the release of prime minister of the land has been detained since october 25th when the military took over. now that law has resulted in type of
9:18 pm
security for prime minister abdulla from the who is under house arrest, asked for 2 of his 8. he has been demanding the military return back to the fact the school before the military takeover, which was on october 24th when he had a civilian government, which he was the prime minister of general abdel. abraham says that he will appoint a civilian government, made up of technocrats, people not affiliated with any political parties, and talks by a various size and various mediation teams, including south sedan, including national figures here in the country, has failed to try to bring the 2 sites together with each side, adamant that they want, they want their position to be the one that that is dominant over the talks. now this all comes as a food, nice professional association calls them people for more strikes. so tonight on saturday, they have called on civilians to set a barricades on the neighborhoods and on the main street to encourage people. and also it is the number of people who would go to work on sunday and monday they say that the best way for them to show the military that they don't want
9:19 pm
a military rule or an army. that taking over the transition period is to go to go on general, strikes and civil disobedience the u. s. embassy in ethiopia, his capital is now ordering all of its non essential staff to leave the country earlier in the way it had advised its work is to leave on a voluntary basis if he is a long conflict with rebels from the northern to bry region has worse and in recent days, the un security council has hold for an end to the fighting. but a meeting to discuss the crisis has been postponed. journalist samuel get a cho, brings us delighted from these were algae 0 has learned that the u. s. invoice to the horn of africa, jeffrey feltman had a meeting with the actors and this conflict. and they were not able to agree on a roadmap on how to solve this conflict. stuff begun a year ago and move is fast moving forward. but this comes us opposition leadership
9:20 pm
as being assembled in washington d. c. we've looked at some of the names and we have been, i have been checking if they are to have the support needed, with the exception of the t p left, which is represented by a former foreign minister. was a minister for 2 years under the t p. left late coalition government and the oil left doesn't seem to have any support on the ground. and the fuel and government has highlighted their effort as publicity stunt. instead of having a coalition to us, they said defeat this government. the government led by prime minister ahmed. but the pressure to ethiopia is still growing. it comes as the canyon president in the you got the president, in particular, is trying to have a time. it's to trying to understand and solve the issue of conflicts in the country. and the u. s. government, which is threatening to constantly trade arguments with the t o is also insisting
9:21 pm
on having some kind of settlement on this conflict. me and my military may have committed crimes against humanity. that's the assessment of you and body investigating the actions of the military. since it's a power in a cru in february, it's told al jazeera is my kind of is evidence of systemic attacks on civilians. what we've seen more recently is an increase in violence by the opposition. the call for civil war and small groups warming. and frankly, this obviously increases the violence and complicates our work. there's issues about what violence is lawful on both sides. and the situation simply gets more complicated and day by day. now the mechanisms role is to collect co, late, preserve the evidence, to have no pounds of prosecution. how important is it to retain the evidence and
9:22 pm
collected over a period of time? evidence will degrade over time. memories will fade witnesses, will die. graves will be, the bodies will degrade over time. so it's important that while the crumbs are fresh, the evidence is preserved. but also, i think, aside from whether any court ever handles the material, it's very important for it to be preserved. it's important for victims to know someone cares about what happened to me and someone is, is collecting this. they believe me, they want to know what happened. and it's very important that potential perpetrators know if you commit this act, someone is collecting evidence and hopefully that will act as some type of deterrent to further horrendous violence. your mechanism started in to her 2018 the year after the events of 2017. you mention what the us has described as essentially genocide. is there
9:23 pm
a process in which having acted with virtual impunity at that stage, the military is enable to continue to up its game so to speak, resulting in the, to in february, you know, mike, after the coo and after the uptick and violence against peaceful demonstrators and me and more, we received a daily wish of communications from people largely in me and mar, wanting to share evidence with us. and also asking us, please, we need accountability please when you need to hold people to account, bring us justice. how important is your collation of evidence in terms of bringing this to a halt, stopping the cycle. i think it's critical and we want to be the central repository, collecting all relevant evidence. because some day this may be used, we're going to collect it. we're going to analyze it, and we'll prepare files that will facilitate prosecutions. in national or international courts. heavy rain has caused flooding and lamps lives. in bosnia
