6:18 pm
republicans have criticised president biden�*s plan to increase federal government spending to the highest level since the second world war. his 6 trillion dollar budget would include money to invest in infrastructure, education and green technology. the white house says it�*s needed to get america�*s economy moving. but one senator has called the plan �*insanely expensive�*. our north america correspondent, david willis, reports. president biden is looking to boost american manufacturing, and with it the lower and middle class. he�*s proposing a massive programme of public spending, the largest since the second world war, a plan that would add trillions of dollars to this country�*s national debt. last month, in a presidential address to congress, he said america�*s economy needed to be reimagined and rebuilt. my fellow americans. "trickle down.

"trickle—down economics has never worked, and it�*s time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out. applause. the president�*s proposals include spending $4.5 trillion on infrastructure and social programmes over the course of the next decade, an additional $14 billion on climate initiatives designed to accelerate the move away from fossil fuels, and more than $2 billion on addressing the problems caused by gun violence, including provisions for tighter background checks. all paid for by tax increases on wealthy americans and big corporations. republican reaction was sharp and severe. "president biden�*s proposal would drown american families in debt, deficits and inflation," tweeted mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate. all setting the stage for a bitter fight in congress over what democrats regard as the long—overdue redistribution of wealth, and their opponents see

as a return to the dark days of big government. the party�*s differences were laid bare only hours earlier, when senate republicans voted to block the formation of a commission to investigate the events of january the 6th, a day which saw hundreds of donald trump supporters storm the capitol building in washington, dc, delaying the certification ofjoe biden as president. republicans feared such a commission could harm their chances in next year�*s congressional elections. the senate leader accused them of seeking to sweep the events ofjanuary the 6th under the rug. out of fear or fealty to donald trump, the republican minorityjust prevented the american people from getting the full truth about january the 6th. the republican minorityjust prevented the senate from even debating the bill. no opportunity for amendments, no opportunity for debate. there was an attempt by the republican minority to shunt
6:21 pm
this vote into the dark of night. but because of today's senate time agreement, it was done in broad daylight. the american people will see how each republican senator voted. the vote ends any chance of a nonpartisan inquiry into the events of that fateful day. it also underlines the widening gulf between the two parties going into the difficult months of budget negotiation that lie ahead. there�*ve been dozens of demonstrations around the world to show solidarity with the people of belarus. in poland, hundreds of demonstrators have taken to streets of the capital, warsaw. small gatherings have also been held in other european countries, the us and australia. many protesters have been calling for the release of the belarusian journalist, roman protasevich, who was detained along with his girlfriend after an airliner was forced to land in minsk.

more than 5,000 people were allowed in to enjoy the atmosphere, the music, the food. they were tested and their behaviour was monitored to see whether a festival could be a safe place during a pandemic. leeds, 2016, and even if it means getting a little muddy, thousands of people are desperate to get back to the festival experience. and the reading and leeds festivals 2021 are on at the end of august, and are sold out. but glastonbury, probably the best—known event of its kind, was online only this year — for the second year running, this corner of somerset wasn�*t the focus of global music interest. and many other festivals won�*t happen either this year, the parliamentary committee argues, because the government won�*t provide back—up insurance to cover costs if events have to be cancelled at the last minute. there�*s 975 festivals across the uk each year. a quarter of them are already gone, and that�*s worth £1.7 billion and tens of thousands ofjobs.
6:26 pm
all they need is a little bit of certainty, so that if they can�*t go ahead, they will ensure that at least their costs, not their profits, are covered. the government department responsible says, "indemnity cover will be looked at," adding they are, "working flat out to support festivals and live events. "and following on from promising test results from this event in liverpool, it has been announced that the download music festival — which had been cancelled — will now go ahead injune, as a government test event. sarah campbell, bbc news. i�*ve been speaking to anna wade from boomtown fair festival, which was meant to take place in august but isn�*t now going ahead. she told me that tickets had already sold out by the time the decision was taken to cancel. actually sold out in february for 60,000 tickets. and i was part of the government at the dcms select
