live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching in the united states, canada, and the around. i'm kim brunhuber. criminal tempt of congress sending a message to others who could be called before the committee investigating the capitol riot. global works are hoping to strike a deal at climate 26. and free britney. she's regained control of her money and her life.

live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom." >> we begin in washington and a major development in the investigation of the january 6 insurrection. steve bannon, donald trump's longtime ally and former adviser, now faces federal charges. a grand jury indicted him for contempt of congress after he defied the subpoena from the house committee investigating the capitol riot. cnn's paula reid has more on the charge and the message it may send to other witnesses. >> reporter: bannon facing two criminal charges, one for failing to show up to his deposition and another for failing to produce documents. both of these counts carry a minimum one-month sentence, up to a maximum one year if convicted. bannon is expected to self-surrender monday and appear in court that afternoon. now it is not likely that he

will engage in a plea deal with the federal government. it is expected that he will likely fight this in a trial. he's one of the few people with the resources to fight charges like this. not everyone can go up against the justice department. if, big if, he is convicted, he would have the option to appeal. this could be a long, drawn-out process. this will is a win for the committee. this is certainly a deterrent for anyone else who's thinking about defying a subpoena. again, not everyone has the money and the resources or the desire to go through a criminal process like that. right now in the immediate future, we would expect that likely witnesses, i've spoken to several, they were watching to see what happens with bannon to decide if they wanted to continue to stonewall. now that he's been charged, it is likely that the committee will see more engagement from prospective witnesses. but there's no guarantee that they will get full cooperation. these witnesses will likely try to negotiate and narrow the topics that they are willing to answer questions about.

they also have the option to show up and invoke the fifth amendment. any questions that they objected to. in the immediate future, it is a win for the committee, and we'll continue to report on how much cooperation this victory yields. cnn, washington. january 6 committee chairman bennie thomson and vice chair liz cheney had a simple measures for others violateding a soup. they rote the indictment should send a clear message to anyone who thinks they can ignore the select committee or try to stonewall our investigations. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need. the committee has issued 35 subpoenas to individuals and organizations as part of its investigation into the capitol riot. several are trump's closest allies from his time at the white house and on the campaign trail. some of them include mark meadows, his former white house chief of staff, hailey mcnaina,

press secretary. and michael flynn, his former national security adviser. now so far the white house isn't commenting on bannon's indictment, but as phil mattingly reports, there was one comment earlier about possible prosecutions from the president himself. i think the white house is keenly aware of what's happening now, but they've taken pains to keep their distance from what the attorney general ends up deciding or how he decides to move forward. no comment about the indictment. for the most part that is tracked with how they've operated as it relates to the january 6th committee. with one exception -- the president. when he was asked by our colleague if those who defy subpoenas should be prosecuted he said this a little less than a month ago -- >> i hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable. >> reporter: should they be prosecuted -- >> i do, yes. >> reporter: shortly after the comments the justice department pushed back making sure any decisions it makes would be independent, and the president himself walked it back saying in a cnn town hall a few weeks

later those comments weren't appropriate. the real rule the white house has had -- role the white house has had is through their counsel's office and as it relates to executive privilege. the president and his lawyers have made clear they're waiving executive privilege as it pertains to the specific issues that the january 6th committee is investigating related to the attack on the capitol and the lead up to that. it's not just speak to steve bannon, it's other officials, as well, including former chief of staff mark meadows. as it pertains to bannon, the counsel's office was clear the fact that bannon had no role in the white house at the time that this transpired, the idea that he would have any privileged claims weren't in existence based on what the counsel's office said. steve bannon in "peril" by bob woodward and robert costa said he wanted to strangle the biden presidency in his crib. at this point in time he will now have to face the justice department at some point in the weeks and months ahead. >> so what lies ahead for bannon after he turns himself in on

monday? earlier, one legal expert explained the process step by step. >> he'll be arraigned on monday meaning he'll be formally advised of the charges against him. they'll make sure -- the judge will make sure he has a lawyer to report him. the court will consider the question of bail. in some cases, defendants get locked up pending trial. i think there's virtually zero chance that happens here with steve bannon because the maximum penalty's only one year and because he has no prior convictions worth noting. he was indicted on a fraud case but pardoned. he am be arraigned monday. then they'll go into motions, he will argue throw this out saying he has executive privilege, and we will have a trial unless steve bannon pleads guilty -- i don't expect that. we will eventually have a trial, united states of america versus steve bannon. if convicted he goes to jail for at least one month and possibly as much as a year. >> bannon's case has been referred to a judge appointed by former president trump. it could potentially take years

for the case to play out through the court system. we'll have more on bannon and his history in a few minutes. the standoff at the border between poland and belarus escalates. the polish interior minister says the influx of thousands of migrants is an attack on the european union and an artificial attempt to create a migration crisis. right now officials say there are about 2,000 people waiting to cross over into poland, and they warn that number could double in the next week. things at the border are tense and growing increasingly difficult as temperatures plunge and migrants search for food and ways to stay warm. polish police say the body of a young syrian man was found in the woods near the border friday. no word yet on the cause of death. now we have more from london. as the situation's becoming more deadly for the migrants out there in the cold, how are european leaders planning to handle this? >> kim, all eyes will be on brussels on monday where european union foreign ministers are set to meet to talk about

how they can deal with this crisis on the border of the european union between poland and belarus. but a particular focus for these foreign ministers will be potential sanctions on belarus, the german foreign minister saying earlier this week they will be taking a look at expanding eu sanctions on companies and individuals believed to be involved in human trafficking, in driving this crisis that we're seeing on the border. we've heard in recent days from the european union members of the u.n. security council. they claim that belarus is trying to destabilize the european union's external borders by driving this migrant crisis on the border. they've also accused belarus of potentially trying to divert attention from human rights abuses within belarus. there are some serious diplomatic efforts ongoing at the moment. german chancellor angela merkel speaking with russian president vladimir putin earlier this week, as well. she believes that putin has the potential to influence the

situation. he clearly has a strong relationship with belarussian's alexander lukashenko. the focus is on the dire situation that the refugees find themselves in at the border. as you mentioned, thousands there, the numbers expected to continue to rise. the situation is really difficult for refugees. many of them coming from the middle east and asia, living now in freezing conditions, severe shortages in essential items like food and medicine. and the european union has been trying to work with transit countries to ensure that no further influxes are seen coming in toward the border. we heard earlier this week that talks between the european union and transit countries are beginning to pave the way for these situations to become a little more under control. we've heard that the european union has spoken to countries like turkey, for example, which is a major transit point. turkey has announced it will halt flights for citizens from

countries including syria, yemen, and iraq from traveling to belarus in an effort to control the situation. clearly there's a major crisis on hand. these refugees, vulnerable refugees caught in the middle of this political standoff, unable to advance into the european union as they wish to do so via poland. but also unable to return home. kim? >> all right. we'll keep an eye on that volatile situation there at the border. thanks so much. heated talks and missed deadlines on the climate crisis. we're live in glasgow where a new draft of a final agreement has been published. plus, britney spears' fans are celebrating now that free britney has helped lead to freed britney. how the pop star's 13-year conservatorship came to an end. stay with us.

our breaking news from cop26ment a new draft of the climate agreement has been published. our phil black joins me now live from glasgow. this came out just moments ago. i'm not sure if you had a chance to see what's in this new draft. what can you tell us? >> reporter: kim, i've had a few minutes to look at what i think

is the headline issue really, and that is what is agreed upon in terms of reducing emissions, particularly in the near future. let's start with something that is unprecedented. so significant news for that reason. that is the dimension of phasing out coal power and fossil fuel subsidies is still in this third draft of the text. there has been almost a sense of expectation that this would be cut out, stripped out of the text, before we get to the end, but it has survived to a third point. we just won additional piece of language added to that which says -- recognizing the need for support toward a just transition. what that essentially says is developing countries will need some help, financially, probably in terms of technology, as well, in order to phase out coal power in that way. the other key language is there, too. the stuff that sort of talks about the science and why 1.5 degrees should be the goal in terms of limiting global warming, why that goes -- this goes further than the language

of the paris agreement which talked about well below two degrees and preferably closer to 1.5. that's important, and we know there was opposition in the room to that. that has continued to survive. so has crucially, most critically of all the call for parties to go away -- look at their emission targets again in the short term, that is the cuts before 2030, and come back with better, stronger ones next year. the reason why that is so important is that as it says in the text still, the world has to cut emissions by 45% by the end of this decade in order for 1.5 to remain an achievable goal. we are nowhere near close to achieving that. emissions are still increasing. to have any chance of doing what the science says is necessary, there needs to be a credible path forward in the near term. that key language is still there telling countries to come back next year and try again. kim? >> all right. really appreciate your great reporting there from glasgow. phil black in glasgow, scotland.

thank you so much. so for more on this i want to bring in helen mountford, vice president for climate and economics at the world resources institute. she joins me as well from glass know it. thank you so much for being -- glasgow. thank you so much for being here. the third draft came out. i'm not sure if you've had a chance to go through it either. from what you've seen and heard so far, is it an improvement over the previous draft, i guess on the positive side it hasn't been watered down as much as many feared. >> thanks very much. there's definitely some elements. we've only started parsing it out and comparing text. there's some elements that have stuck there that were important to keep in the text. there's a few that seem to be improvements and strengthening. in particular one of the issues that we're following closely is what's happening in terms of the support for developing countries on adaptation to the climate impacts they're seeing and feeling on the ground and aren't responsible for in large part, and then also for dealing with the losses and damages that go

beyond where we have devastating losses happening. and it looks like they've added something new in this text which will be a dialogue between parties and organizations to really take full look at the loss and damage. a key issue we want to see is there's discussions on how to provide financial support. so we'd already seen in the previous drafts some discussion of that, some operationalization of the discussions around loss and damage, a technical assistance facility. now it looks like there's also going to be a dialogue where parties can really actually start to grasp this issue. there's other areas where i think we need to look carefully at the text, particularly around adaptation finance. there had been texts before which said there would be a doubling of adaptation finance to 2025. it's still in there, but from what i'm seeing, it says that it would be based on the 2019 numbers, doubling from 2019 numbers to 2025.

to me that might be a waning of the text given that we've had a number of announcements come forward here on adaptation finance. we actually want to see that it really would be from now doubling. >> yeah. and you know, timelines are important here. as you've pointed out, it's not necessarily about what gets done but when. i mean, you've been critical that countries have made plenty of long-term targets but very little action in the short term. so from what you've seen from this last draft, maybe from this one, is that still a big problem that we're kind of kicking the can down the road? >> well, one of the things that's great is we've actually kicked the can down only shortly down the road here. so i think that is an important signal. we knew coming in here we did not have enough in terms of ambition to actually achieve the 1.5 c goal. the question was how do we keep it alive. how do we keep moving that direction. there were a number of initiatives, a number of commitments that are shifting in the right direction. but we need more. and what this text clearly does

is urges and calls for countries to come back next year with enhanced ambition on what they're doing in their 2030 targets, but also what they'll do in the longer term. the sort of 2050 vision and strategy, and says they should align that with a just transition and with reaching net zero around 2050. so starting toly out a path where -- to lay out a path where countries come back next year already with enhanced ambition to try and close that gap to keep 1.5c alive. >> let's look at the u.s. joe biden when he ran for president said all the right things about fighting climate change, being a priority. now he and his administration have a chance to actually do something about it. how do you feel about the u.s. commitments made here? is his administration living up to the expectation, or has it been a disappointment? >> the u.s. is definitely back and in advance of glasgow made some important commitments in terms of stepping up their own

action, their commitments on 2030 and 2050, and also agreed to quadruple their international climate finance. that's not enough still. i mean, it's impressive, but it's not enough. that is clear. i think what we've seen here is the u.s. has been trying to move things forward. there's still a number of issues where, to be frank, i don't think they've been listening enough to what the developing countries are saying but are starting to hear them. and we're starting to see that come out in some of this better text on some elements around loss and damage. i think that's something which not just the u.s., a number of the developed countries, had not been listening, had not been understanding the importance of this. and now they're starting to grasp it and move forward. slow and late but moving. >> i want to look ahead, several climate activists i've spoken to have talked eloquently about the energy and the passion they're seeing, that even if this conference isn't a game changer in terms of the results, you know, it will still have succeeded in raising awareness

and activism around the issue of climate change. but recent polls, at least here in this country, suggest that attitudes in terms of the threat of climate change were about the same as we were seven years ago. and that basically your attitude about climate change comes down to which party you support. do you find it's getting harder to move the needle when it comes to public opinion? >> i mean, that's interesting. i've seen other polls which show people are shifting. we're seeing that with voters. voters are moving. >> yeah, let me just jump? -- so it looks like democrats are seeing a greater awareness of climate change, but republicans are moving the other direction. so it's a net even effect i guess. >> right. and i mean, i was referring also to other countries. and so in a lot of other countries we've seen there's been a big shift. and even conservative countries, countries which have governments that are conservative including the uk, for example, are stepping up on climate change realizing it's not actually a

partisan issue, it's not a political issue. it's about all of our futures. and i think one of the challenges in the u.s. is being able to communicate that even better. this is about when we see floods in the midwest that wipe out the crops for a given year, or where we're seeing tropical storm that's are wiping out towns or wildfires wiping out towns, infrastructure, devastating lives and livelihoods. i think the awareness. how it is actually impacting us in the u.s., everybody in the u.s. in some form or another, as well as how much worse it is in many other countries is starting to grow. i think the other thing that's really starting to shift is just an awareness that actually a lot of the solutions we need are better, cheaper. they're going to be better for help. we know that renewable energy is cheaper than coal and increasingly cheaper than gas in a lot of places. if you want to bring down the costs of energy to households and to consumers, if you want to have clean air so that you don't

have children with asthma or other breathing-related diseases, air pollution-related diseases, these are the solutions we need to embrace. i'm hoping that will start to resonate. we're definitely seeing it do so in many other countries. >> all right. listen, we're out of time. thank you so much for your perspectives, really appreciate. >> thank you. great to speak to you. britney spears has won her long legal battle with her father. and her fans, they're celebrating. [ cheers ] on friday a judge ended her 13-year conservatorship. cnn with more. >> reporter: for the first time in 13 years, britney spears is once again in control of her own destiny. a los angeles county judge terminating the conservatorship effective immediately. and we understand from her lawyer that there will be some

safeguards put in place to protect her and also to protect her estimated $60 million estate. we also know that there will be two more court dates, but those will be for technicalities. this is really essentially the end of the conservatorship at this point now. there were no objections in court which is noteworthy considering that we have seen her go back and forth with her father since this started playing out in court earlier this year. in two explosive testimonies over the summer, britney spears said she was forced to take birth control, that she was forced to perform. she said she was a victim of conservatorship abuse and was pointing the finger at her father. after those testimonies, her father petitioning the court to end the conservatorship. instead in september the judge terminating him as co-conservator of her estate but keeping on the conservatorship until now finally ending this long saga for britney spears. obviously the free britney fans

out here in great numbers celebrating, also people huck hugging and -- hugging and crying. there were pink confetti. you could see people singing her songs. and braitney spears writing, i love my fans so much. it's crazy. i think i'm going to cry the rest of the day. praise the lord. can i get an amen? and signed off with #freedbritney. when you look at how her fans have played a role, her thanks to them makes sense. without them, who knows if this day would have come as quickly as it did. cnn, los angeles. just ahead, a win for the u.s. house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection. the message they say steve bannon's indictment sends to others. and protesters in the netherlands turn out in force to reject a return to a partial lookdown. we'll go live to rome for the latest on europe's escalating covid crisis after the break. stay with us.

investigation. now this isn't the first time bannon has faced federal charges. before leaving office, former president trump pardoned bannon on charges of defrauding political donors. more now on the man who always seems to be near the former president and always relishes a fight. here's tom foreman. >> reporter: he is not ready to speak to congress about the violence of january 6th, but steve bannon is talking plenty. on his podcast whipping his followers into a frenzy. >> elections have consequences, stolen elections have catastrophic consequences, that's what we're seeing in this country. we need your blood to boil. we need to be in a situation you're not going to back down. >> reporter: he's done it all along. he appeared to confirm report that just days before the insurrection he was on the phone with donald trump discussing how to kill the biden presidency in the crib. >> 42% of the american people, 4-2% of the american people think that biden it not win the

presidency legitimately. we told you from the very beginning, just expose it, just expose it. never back down. never give up, and this will implode. >> reporter: promoting the big lie of election fraught fit bannon's long-standing affection for radical right-wing theories and his apparent appetite for conflict. >> if you think they're going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. >> reporter: take his fascination with the book "the fourth turning," which argues every 80 years or so cataclysmic upheavals are necessary to political and social realignment. >> turnings are like the seasons. every turning is necessary -- >> reporter: bannon was so taken with the idea he made a movie about it, savaging liberals, blasting traditional government, and as one film critic put it, pushing a clear message. >> bring on the apocalypse. there's an almost fetishistic desire to see everything blow up. almost like he's inviting a

cleansing fire to just raise the edifice, i think it's that dramatic. >> steve bannon is over here. steve bannon -- [ applause ] >> reporter: bannon's turns in the spotlight have not always thrilled his most famous boss who was reportedly annoyed when bannon showed up on the cover of "time" which trump clearlily craves. he was pushed out of trump's immediate orbit but never far away. >> i would love to know what advice you would give to donald trump if he didn't leave even after he lost. because i saw hillary clinton -- >> you're obsessed with this. >> i am obsessed with it -- why do you think he's not going to leave -- >> wait a second. >> he's an insan narcissist. >> reporter: since the uprising he's been in the losing candidate's corner trotting out guests to show the work was by antifa and unfederal agent. >> the people were tasked with making that what should have

been a peaceful protest a riot. >> reporter: and insisting prosecutors are dead wrong to say these are trump's and his people. >> either they're totally incompetent or they're lying to you. right? either they're totally incompetent, or they lying to you. either totally incompatent or lying to you, pick them. >> reporter: there are no facts to back that up. listen to bannon's podcast. watch his interviews, and you will see that he has very little use for facts unless they back this notion that america as we know it must end so america as he would have it can begin. >> that was our tom foreman reporting from washington. 500 wisconsin national guard soldiers are on standby ready to deploy to kenosha for the verdict in the murder trial of kyle rittenhouse. closing arguments are set figure monday. he faces five felony charges in the shootings of three people last year during black lives matter protests. two of the people rittenhouse shot died, but he insists he

pulled the trigger out of self-defense. the judge in the case is expected to tell attorneys today whether the jury can consider lesser charges in the cases. in another high-profile case, jurors heard new testimony and watched more body cam video friday in the trial of three white men accused of chasing and killing an unarmed black jogger, ahmaud arbery. the trial is in brunswick, and the specter of racism has been looming over the proceedings from the beginning. our martin savidge has the latest. >> reporter: it was a much more contrite kevin gough, the defense attorney that report william roddie bryan, to make amend for what many thought were outrageous statements thursday when he said we don't need any more black pastors in the courtroom. he said, quote, if my statements were overly broad, my apologies to anyone who may have been affected. during the noon recess of court, another defense attorney, jason sheffield, who represents travis

mcmichael, he got up and just lambasted kevin gough for the comments that he made. here's jason sheffield -- >> there's been a lot of reporting on a statement made by kevin gough yesterday in court about wanting no more black pastors. that statement was totally assinine, ridiculous. >> reporter: it's clear what's going on is one defense team is trying to put a lot of distance between them and kevin gough and say, look, we don't think the way he does. meanwhile, testimony on friday, there were some interesting witnesses including robert rash who is a police officer with the glenn county police department. it's his body camera that really is the most intriguing. it's on the night of february 11th, 2020, 12 days before ahmaud arbery is chased and killed in the same neighborhood. it's outside the home under construction again. this time police have been called because a black male has been sighted once more inside. but this time the caller is

travel is mcmichael. and travis mcmichael in calling 911 adds something else to the description that changes everything. he says it appears when he saw the black male, the man was reaching either to his waist or into his pocket. i think he's armed. from this point on, the trespasser going into the home under construction who's a black male is no longer looked upon as just an annoyance, he's looked upon as a threat. and you know this because in the body cam footage when police go in to search that home they have guns drawn, their flashlights are going into every corner of the home. of course, they don't find anyone. less than two weeks later, travis mcmichael and his father gregory mcmichael, both armed, pursue ahmaud arbery, corner him, and eventually kill him believing he carried a gun. only to find out he was unarmed. martin savidge, cnn, brunswick,

georgia. booster shots for all adults in the u.s. could soon become a reality. a source tells cnn that the food and drug administration will likely bypass outside vaccine advise ors when considering whether to authorize pfizer's booster for those 18 and older. pfizer applied for emergency use authorization earlier this week. and if it passes, the cdc will still need to sign off on its use. the u.s. health officials are worried that a recent plateau in covid-19 infections could be the calm before another storm. now while new cases have fallen in some areas, they're rising in half of u.s. state along with deaths and hospitalizations. and with the holiday season approaching, experts say now is the time to get vaccinated. >> certainly we're in a better place than we were in september during the middle of the delta surge. we saw this peak and the hope was that we would have the significant decline. right now we seem to have plateaued at over 70,000 new

cases every day, more than 1,000 deaths every day. that would bring us up to about 400,000 daily deaths over the course of a year. we cannot plateau at this point, and earnings specially coming into the winter. we're seeing in places in europe that even in cups that have higher vaccination rates than we do that they're going through a massive winter surge. i'm worried about the holidays ahead. and so everybody who's eligible to be vaccinated should be vaccinated, including now children 5 to 11, and also all those eligible to get boosters should do so, too. >> health officials across europe are scrambling to implement new measures to fight a growing surge of covid cases. the world health organization says the continent recorded nearly two million new infections in the last week alone. for more on the escalating covid crisis in europe, let's bring in contributor barbie nadul live from rome. what's the situation in the worst hot spots? >> reporter: the worst hot spot now is germany. they're looking at 50,000 new cases a day. they've got a very high

vaccination rate, but they don't have a very high booster rate. people have obviously lost their immunity and are becoming reinfected. we're also looking at a hot spot in austria where they're going to implement a lockdown for those people who have not been vaccinated. now that's something that we haven't seen before, these sort of targeted lockdowns across the rest of europe. we've got surges here and cases are slowly climbing higher. we've got serious mandates here that remain in place. we have never been without a mask mandate indoors. so what we're looking at going into the winter months when people will be gathering more indoors is just health authorities calling for more vigilance but also calling for people to get their boosters if they haven't already done so. >> okay. so you mentioned the lockdowns in austria. you know, trying to get more boosters. how else are authorities trying to get a handle on this latest wave? >> they are looking at throughout the european union, they're looking at various forms

of restrictions. whether that's limiting the number of people who can dine indoors, limiting the number of people who can gather at events, or as we've seen in many cases, especially in italy, limiting protests. some protests have been the cause of the outbreaks of infection. we've seen huge numbers of infections in the north of the country where there were no vax protesters gathering for weekends on end. and so these targeted restrictions are really what people are looking at as a way forward. nobody thinks they're going to have the kind of lockdowns we saw a year ago. but of course, it's really too soon to tell how bad things are going to get before they get better again. >> appreciate the look there at the situation in europe. thank you so much. still ahead, michigan lawmakers touting president biden's infrastructure bill in a district won by donald trump. so what do voters think of the bill? we'll find out next. stay with us.

democratic lawmaker from michigan is touting the just-passed infrastructure bill in her deeply divided state. former president donald trump lost by just under three points in michigan, and he's still a force to be reckoned with there. she hopes the new law will bring opportunities to the state's workers no matter their politics. cnn's jeff zeleny reports. at least every michigander wants money for infrastructure. his here we have it. >> reporter: congresswoman slot kin has something once celebrated by both parties. >> we should be happy whether it's biden signature or trump's signature. if trump's signature had been on that thing, i'd be just as happy to go and visit people and talk about what this bill would do. >> reporter: slotkin is a democrat and will be on hand when president biden signs the law on monday. but former president trump is also not far from her mind. considering he won her district.

giving her a front row seat to the nation's deep political divide. >> i couldn't have won unless there were voters who voted for both donald trump and me. that's a pretty independently minded person. >> reporter: for the next year the road to winning control of congress runs right through places like michigan's eighth district. and whether democrats get credit or blamed for biden's agenda starting with infrastructure. >> being able to see it actually signed into law is a big deal. and again, we haven't seen this kind of investment since we did the highway system, and you know, in the 1940s and 1950s, but it doesn't end in the oval office. they've watched us go back and forth on it. i'm sure they're happy that it's signed. but it's like -- we're in michigan and what matter is facts on the ground and getting things done. >> reporter: last month, biden visited a union training center here that soon will be thrust into overdrive preparing workers to build roads, bridges,

airports, and more. >> it takes a lot of training to be able to get certified in this. >> reporter: john habercorn, an instructor on tower cranes, believes the bill will create unprecedented opportunities for workers no matter their politics. >> a job's a job. they don't ask you on your application if you're red our blue. >> reporter: jeremy denton didn't vote for biden or slotkin but supports the action on infrastructure. >> the cost of doing business. you have to reinvest if you're going to build these things. if you have a bridge that needs to be repaired, repair the bridge. >> reporter: slotkin, a former cia officer elected to congress in 2018, believes the deep divisions among democrats have raised legitimate questions about the party's ability to govern and to connect with all americans. >> yeah, i think there's disconnect. i mean, i think that the average person is not looking for radical idealogy on any side of the spectrum. they are looking for their government to function and to deliver for people. >> reporter: she has real questions about part two of

biden's economic agenda. both its scope and timing given rising concerns about inflation, gas prices, and more. like other moderate democrats, she's waiting to see the cost of the bill before committing her vote. is the white house addressing the needs of everyday americans? >> i think certainly they are trying, but we could be doing more. we've got to address inflation. we've got to address the worker shortage. we've got to address the high price of things going into the holiday season. >> reporter: on monday when president biden signs the bill into law at the white house, congresswoman slotkin will be there. and then president biden coming here to michigan next wednesday to sell the virtues of this infrastructure plan. michigan getting some $10 billion alone in road, bridges, and other spending. but the politics suddenly are more complicated. former president trump has urged republicans to speak out against this. s so the question is how this develops over the next year, it certainly will play a key role in this congresswoman's

re-election. jeff zeleny, cnn, michigan. the daughter of iphones president duterte will run for vice president next year. seen here with her father, she filed for her candidacy on saturday. until now she gave mixed messages about running despite favorable political polls. president duterte isn't allowed to run for re-election, but some experts say he wants loyalists in high places to shield him from possible legal action over his brutal war on drugs that killed thousands of people. the world's largest metro system is taking a new turn. next, shanghai's city trains began a long journey to go solar. stay with us. they may not be able to take just anything for pain. that's why doctors recommend tylenol®. it won't raise blood pressure the way that advil® aleve® or motrin® sometimes can. for trusted relief, trust tylenol®.

financial hub, its bright lights and bustling streets showing a constant consumption of energy. keeping a population of more than 24 million people on the go, the city's metro rail system. shanghai metro is currently the biggest in the world, and it's one of the busiest. with 19 lines spraued throughout in metropolis, 460 stations and more than ten million rides daily, built nearly 30 years ago, shanghai's metro was not designed with renewable energy mind. like much of china, it's powered mostly by coal. but with china pledging to become carbon neutral by 2060, nearly every industry is now rethinking their power source. metro planners decided to look up for their energy, harnessing solar power by using the many trained garages and installing panels on their roofs. wasted space finding a new purpose. what you're looking at here -- this is only the beginning.

this pioneer solar project is being expanded to more metro stations across this city. >> translator: as we install more solar panels the capacity will keep growing. >> reporter: the rooftop panels may not be generating a massive amount of electricity yet, but as china races to fulfill carbon promises in the near future every little bit helps. china is also the largest investor and manufacturer of solar and wind power. they're making renewable energies vital if china hopes to meet their carbon reduction promises. >> china over a short period of time mastered the clean tax act, in particular wind and solar. we managed to build roughly the renewable energy of germany in a single year. this will be the pace over the next ten years or so. and in fact we actually need to

move even faster in that regard. >> reporter: shanghai's green metro initiative is a part of that, and it is likely to be replicated in dozens of other cities across china. >> translator: if each company in ever industry and every citizen takes one small step, collectively it will be a big step toward a green and lower carbon future for the city. >> reporter: countering china's massive emissions will be challenging. this project just one of the many major investments needed now so as to lay the tracks for a greener future in china and beyond. david culver, cnn, shanghai. i'm ken brunhuber. i'll be back in a moment with more "cnn newsroom." please do stay with us.
