which not just keeps me and cleared up but you need to interrupt let's say you want to do their story. reporting and reliable information for margaret. the face of a desperately needed us stimulus deal is in the balance after us president donald trump told us a disgrace what does this mean for the millions of americans are placing for help. also coming out from 3 opens its border with the u.k. truck drivers will have to test negative for kobe's 19 to get it meanwhile supermarket shelves a new england are emptying fost. whether into gluten free it rich in

a protein or entirely made up way we'll take you on a tour of the new u.s. food trends. this is the dumping business for example for joining me. we begin in the united states where the face of a $900000000000.00 stimulus plan is in question after u.s. president donald trump surprised lawmakers that including members of his own team by calling it a disgrace the deal which has been several months in the making is designed to ease the economic hardship caused by the pandemic but the president objects to it on several fronts let's take a listen to what he had to say it's girl the covert relief bill. is almost nothing to do with gove this bill could pay $85500000000.00 for assistance to cambodia. $134000000.00 to burma $1300000000.00 for egypt billie's goes to rick salvador guatemala honduras nicaragua and

$40000000.00 for the kennedy center in washington d.c. which is not even open for business despite all of this wasteful spending and much more the $900000000000.00 package provides hard working taxpayers with only $600.00 each in relief. ok that's quite a lot to unpack there so let's take a closer look at some of the points the u.s. president is raising 1st to that $600.00 direct payment that would go to most americans trunk wants an increase to $2000.00 that's something that democrats speaker of the high finance pelosi says she's willing to put to a vote other relief measures in the bill include a weekly unemployment supplement of $300.00 as well as food stamps for those in need that many cultural institutions have been close for months including the candy center for performing arts which trump called out there as well it's set to receive

$40000000.00 in relief a further $15000000000.00 in earmarks for other cultural organizations such as concert venue theaters and museums trump also called for deeper cuts to foreign assistance including to aid programs designed to address the factors that lead people to leave their home countries and come to the u.s. so will this deal go through or not let's ask business correspondent 'd in new york . has less than a month left in office what can he realistically do to scupper this deal. well theoretically he could put a veto in place against this aid package we don't know if he is going to do so but even this veto actually could get overruled by the congress but what he could do is he could delay things and what we shouldn't forget this is a picket just combined with

a new spending bill and if the president delays things that really could be quite dramatic we could face a lockdown in washington early next week if we don't get this spending bill passed and already this saturday actually 12000000 americans could lose their employment benefits you couldn't kill the aid package for good but you could delay things and that could be painful here in the united states you touched on those 12000000 americans there again remind us just how important this stimulus bill if how badly has impact of the pandemic in america what your will i mean especially if you look at the employment situation i mean that's a dramatic still talking about those $12000000.00 americans but also if you think about the extra weekly unemployment support and the amount of so far as $300.00
