10:30 pm
and you you mean the years years we've been here you and how last year's german chancellor will bring you i'm going to map all as you've never heard her before you surprise yourself with what is possible who is merkel really what moves her and part of who you talk to people who followed her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from eccles law stops. when joe biden became us president to he told his country and the world that america is back and now biden wants to put his money where his mouth is tax money $2.00 trillion dollars biden is proposing an unprecedented infrastructure plan that does more than repair roads and bridges think green energy social engineering tonight the world's leading superpower holding on to that title by investing in
10:31 pm
a major make over of itself and the rest of the world to golf in berlin this is the day. not a plan that tinkers around the edges. it's a once in a generation investment with roughly 2 trillion dollars in the future here too late can't delay another minute on infrastructure is crumbling you know there's a lot of water currents in the world think the reason why they're going to win in this democracy is can't reach consensus in the sense of competition between american china the rest of the world was rolled up 50 years people who look back and say this was a move to the americas. the future. also
10:32 pm
coming up they are 5 greek islands known as europe's hotspots but it's not what you might think tonight the camps where refugees seeking asylum in europe often end up a legal limbo a horror of humanity. we're living on common all of us without documents but i've had my asylum interview already but i haven't had anything since this is a sad face we face this this. but to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with the. revitalization retrofitting and reprogramming of the united states of america this week president biden unveiled a massive infrastructure plan that could define his presidency and redefine the american experience in the 21st century biden wants 2 trillion dollars to modernize america's infrastructure he says it will create millions of jobs provide broadband
10:33 pm
internet for everyone incentives for electric cars and renewable energy and programs to bridge the huge social gaps that have been revealed by the pandemic republicans called the proposal a trojan horse for progressive policies but biden's plan is already being compared to f.d.r.'s new deal or president lyndon johnson's great society this plan if passed will reach far beyond america's borders it could help thrust america's allies into the 21st century in terms of technology and it could ensure a sizable lead for the u.s. against china infrastructure is more than roads and bridges in america it is also about geopolitics and power. road builders in the us will soon have plenty of work to do infrastructure in the world's largest economy is in poor condition across the board butte roads power or water to me and many key industries have long
10:34 pm
since moved abroad. with his 2 trillion dollars package u.s. president joe biden wants to give the entire country a make over like i'm proposing a plan for the nation that rewards work not just rewards well the bills the fair economy to give everybody a chance as you can see and it's going to create the strongest most resilient innovative economy in the world. his administration plans on modernizing 32000 kilometers of road while repairing foundations of bridges. half a 1000000 new charging stations will be built to accommodate the ever growing number of electric vehicles biden also wants to bring industries such as chip production back to the united states today computer chips are still mostly produced in asia. the whole project is expected to take 8 years to complete some of the
10:35 pm
funding will come from a corporate tax hike from 21 to 28 percent biden supporters say the program will create millions of will paid jobs and strengthen america's ability to compete with china oh yeah but republicans in congress are already voicing opposition especially towards the corporate tax increase you know it's biden's predecessor slashed the rates by 14 percentage points to their current level. and to put this american infrastructure plan into a global context i'm joined tonight by boris foreman he's a professor of politics at bard college here in berlin and boris it's good to see you again 1st things 1st let's talk about money do we know help president biden plans to finance this $2.00 trillion dollars project what he said in his speech both infrastructure plan is that he's planning to pay
10:36 pm
for it in the long run and that means he's going to text corporations and rich people which is quite the opposite of what's what donald trump the a couple of years ago so this is the plan and this is what he has been telling us so far but we haven't seen any more concrete figures what do you think of comparisons with president roosevelt's new deal or president johnson's great society mean the new deal helped pull america out of the depression the great society attack poverty and even reduced infant mortality is this plan that grand. well i think it is in terms of numbers and i think it even goes way back before franklin roosevelt i mean if we think of abraham lincoln and the rainbow infrastructure we think even of the canal infrastructure there is there's many examples in american history starting with xander hamilton really and henry clay if where there was heavy investment in infrastructure and we tend to forget this
10:37 pm
because we oftentimes emphasize how much of a local market economy how much of a less a fair system the u.s. is but there is a distinct tradition and i think biden really resonates with this kind of tradition yeah i want to take a listen to held president biden framed his infrastructure plan yesterday when he presented it in pittsburgh take a listen. leave room. to look back on this time. as a fundamental choice. between democracies not talkers. you know there's a lot of autocrats in the world think the reason why they're going to win is democracies can't reach consensus and. what tucker says is too. much of competition between america and china the rest of the world is all about. boris is this infrastructure plan is it also part of america's answer to the china challenge
10:38 pm
in this 21st century. absolutely i think it is and i think the framing is very interesting and it's also very reminiscent of earlier moments in history with the u.s. in order to muster the political will really needed some kind of an opponent so it's quite interesting if we think of the railroad system it's the civil war we think of the cold war it's the enter interstate highway system everything that's in the i pad and the i phone all the technology comes out of the cold war so these kinds of investments have existed before and they need some kind of an opposition so some i find it quite striking that that by this framing it in this would mean if this cements the bipolar rivalry between the u.s. and china what does it mean then for europe i mean what do america's allies stand to gain from that. well i think there is a new type of thinking about what the state is supposed to do for economies to work
10:39 pm
even in germany there's been a discussion in the last 2 or 3 years about industrial policy and picking winners reanimate secada is a very famous economist who is i think one of the leading voices in this debate and i think there is the assumption that markets fail and states are not just too there to fix them they need to provide certain goods for democracies to thrive and if these public goods don't exist there are other regime types which i would say aren't as desirable as a democracy yeah i mean that's a good point and it also sounds like the answer to ronald reagan who said that government was the problem and here you have president biden it sounds like he's saying government is the solution let before we run out of time let me ask you about the pandemic factor would it be in your opinion do you think this large jest 2 trillion dollars do you think it would have been put on paper had there not been a pandemic. well the earlier pictures that we've seen is definitely
10:40 pm
a response to that now however if we look at the campaign of bottoms he has always made clear that he was well he was trying to do or 2 to implement a green new deal without calling it a great deal and i think it's called some people by surprise by hold hope progress if you actually. all right. i was going to call you boris johnson boris boris form and barak khalid's thank you it's good to talk to you thank you have have a good we're going to. do to. well that 2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan was high on the agenda today when president biden convened his entire cabinet for the 1st time at the white house 10 weeks since his inauguration by now has basically the entire cabinet all approved by the u.s. senate and all in place to carry out the business of the executive branch presidents always have a cabinet but no president has ever assembled a cabinet as diverse and representative of all americans as the one that met today
10:41 pm
i want you to take a listen to biden's pledge and some of his nominees taking their oath of office by naresh cabinet it will be a historic cabinet that looks like america i desperately fighting for hope and pain are not there right here but i thought i might get the taps into the best of america that opens doors to something i swear it's not only where that's the place that i live for and the constitution of the united states the constitution of the united states are filled help me so help me god and includes the full range of talents we have in this nation. and that is what happened today at the white house to talk about that i'm joined now by our washington bureau chief is pole good evening to you it is when i compared the photos of today's cabinet meeting with the cabinet of former president donald trump made the difference it is striking biden
10:42 pm
has presented a diverse cabinet with a lot of firsts including the 1st native american tell us about that right this is the 1st time in history right that the cabinet really reflects the diversity of this country of immigrants however there are people living in the united states before immigrants from europe took over and indeed these were native americans therefore the role of the former new mexico congresswoman deb holland cond be overestimated brand the member of the lagoon up is the 1st native american cabinet member ever and in her role as interior secretary hollande will be in charge of the federal government's relationship with native american land and native activists have complained for you is that the gov the federal government has has tarnished by building pipelines and causing
10:43 pm
destruction all that was out there in put so they hope now that was holland they finally have an advocate in the white house that will protect them from future abuse and there is also a cabinet member used to be called mayor pete he is the 1st openly gay cabinet member. right the only 39 year old former. mayor and 2020 presidential candidate pete but it is biden's transportation secretary and we just have heard about his huge huge trillion dollar infrastructural build so he will play a major a crucial role in biden cabinet and if he is able to pass this very ambitious bill he might be actually the 1st. president of the united states it is
10:44 pm
possible that is true and tell us about the other 1st in this new cabinet briefly if you could. yeah so this is. former fed chair janet yellen she is the 1st women treasury secretary also lloyd austin is a name we should remember he's the 1st african american defense secretary and he will be taking care of the middle east ranks were washington bureau chief in this poll with the latest on this very diverse history making cabinet at the white house today thank you. europe and those who would like to call it home for years the european union has faced criticism over its treatment of migrants critics usually point to greece where thousands of asylum seekers are housed often in inhumane conditions 5 greek islands near the turkish coast have become known as hotspots where refugees live in
10:45 pm
overcrowded unsanitary conditions more than a 3rd are children mostly without access to education that he used says turkey should take them as part of a deal reached with 5 years ago but some say that deal is a human rights disaster. sunder and florian schmidt report on the situation on the island. a prominent guest at the hughes most notorious migration hotspots well if you commit if you want some 2 or to muffle of any campaign in a guarded convoy earlier this week journalists were given a rare opportunity to visit the nicer parts of the overcrowded facility scenes of women exercising in the spring sun starkly contrast these pictures from last winter when residents had to hold on to their tents. we need joe cole from the democratic republic of congo he tells us he has been here for 16 months. we are living like
10:46 pm
canada without documents but i've had my asylum interview already but i haven't heard anything since this is a sad fate we face. more than 13000 people are stuck in these hot spots in the north of gene islands as part of a system designed to help greece cope with high numbers of irregular arrivals as part of the e.u.'s 2016 migration deal with turkey greek authorities with the e.u. support have to examine whether each person arriving here has a right to asylum those whose claims are rejected must return to turkey and as long as asylum seekers don't have an answer they can't leave the islands critics claim this model is simply not working because it creates a situation of deep injustice because people are kept in some cases for many years in the home. and the conditions are appalling they're really not effective and if we look at the courts of auditor's report for instance they show that
10:47 pm
extremely expensive and not serving the original purposes of rapid decision on case instead of setting up appropriate infrastructure to deal with asylum cases in a swift manner 5 years on from when the deal was signed with or to use or operating emergency even the e.u. commissioner your own agrees this system has to change i don't want to have. to have proper reception facilities but people should not stay for long and then have a better. location system we need to you pierre nice migration issue and to stand by each other and not leave any member state or alone. the e.u. commission has proposed a new approach to asylum under which asylum applications would be processed within days at the blocks external borders but critics fear this might lead to a situation similar to what we're seeing today hotspots all over again.
10:48 pm
where joining me now is the architect of that $26.00 teenie you turkey deal mr jerrold canalis he is the founding chairman of the european stability initiative think tank which focuses on e.u. foreign policy mr canal's it's good to have you on the program next week the e.u.'s top officials head to turkey for talks with president richard tie your pair to one on migration and trade what will they do with the plan that you drafted are they going to revamp it or are they going to kill it well and that important respect this plan or statement that was reached 5 years ago has broken down already why do you hear it go all the last has refused to take anybody from the greek islands. the european union has not put on the table any similar package of assistance for the 3 it has 3 and
10:49 pm
a half 1000000 syrian refugees in turkey so the key commitments made 5 years ago are no longer there and the result is actually been of us we've seen very few rivals but we've seen a breakdown of the rule of law with pushbacks in the aegean sea and people being kept on these islands without any prospect of ever being returned for it's really no reason at all so what we have at the moment and that it is very much to be hoped that you understand it can be reached between the european union and turkey building on what did the 1st 4 years and correcting what never will mr because i mean i want to be clear about this you're saying that turkey is not to doing what it has promised to do but you're also saying that the european union is also not paying turkey the money that it promised is that correct. no the european union promised toki 6000000000 to be committed in 4 years that happened at the european
10:50 pm
union did not put on the table another offer for the next few years although the number of refugees in turkey keeps growing. turkey has agreed to take people back from the greek islands it did so for 4 years it was the fault of their silent system of greece we've the european union supporting it but we didn't have we get decisions khaki that said what a year ago day it side of the deal was off as well so at the moment we have no agreement and what we're seeing now which is the breakdown of the rule of law is actually the world without an agreement if we don't reach one this is how it will look for the next months years which is basically the end of the refugee convention i'd like for you to take a listen to what e.u. commission president underly and have said about this take a listen we will further gauge with turkey on issues such as migration financing high level dialogues and modernizing the customs union if turkey does not
10:51 pm
move forward construction constructively if it returns to unilateral actions a provocation we would suspend these cooperation measures start so there you have virtually from the line saying if turkey doesn't do this we will not do that is that the right approach to have when e.u. officials go to turkey. well there is such low trust at the moment between brussels and uncorrupt on both sides that in the end it will be transactional negotiations what do you offer what do you want but the point is that it is also reach an outcome that is good for both sides the question for european union is is it going to put on the table something that is meaningful to turkey don't forget turkey has 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees 3 times more than the whole european union so far european union to want to help for all in a humane way irregular migration it is obvious that there needs to be support not
10:52 pm
just for the refugees in turkey already but also for another 3000000 at least internally displaced in syria close to the turkish border currently being supported in the humanitarian way through turkey so i guess the question is what will the european union put on the table at the same time techie has an interest in a new agreement because due to the breaking down of a green meant it's not that more people reach europe it's just that the european union is being more brutal pushing people back if they let the this is the border so check you know that moment is actually losing the most in this because work is what is going to happen and what needs to happen then you're it sounds like you're saying that the european union needs to put down a lot of money on the table to convince turkey to treat syrian refugee use humanely is that what that's what you're saying right. well techie has 3 and
10:53 pm
a half 1000000 refugees already 7 than a 1000 children refugee children going to schools one what 8000000 receiving social support funded by the european union this needs to continue it's in the interest of the refugees of turkey and of the e.u. the humanitarian conditions in a title of economic crisis and for the demi off these refugees does not in syria but you're saying if you say any more money there right the rich are saying europe needs to pay more money. because the 6000000000 promised in march 2016 have already all be dedicated to projects so the question really is is there a serious commitment by the european union to that is not just a group of refugees in any country in the world that the moment and it's in the mutual interest it's also morally the right thing well it sounds like what you're saying for the for the europeans this is about how much money they're willing to spend what do you think this is then for turkey does turkey see these syrian
10:54 pm
refugees as just a bargaining chip in order to milk the european union for as much money as possible is that what's going on here. well if you have 3 and a half 1000000 refugees and the number is increasing every year by a 100000 simply threw us so a half a 1000000 in 5 years then i don't think the language of milking the e.u. is appropriate i mean techie knows and we should all hope that it remains a way that these people will not be able to return to syria any time soon seriousness troy's they're still fighting in arts of the country in the last there is and i'm easy ceasefire many of the displaced in syria are not returning ida zone these 1000000 of its of people will stay in turkey for the foreseeable future there is an economic crisis there is a pandemic there is a collapse of tourism it is in their mutual interest to help them it's not just this that is interesting that he wants other things and so there will need to be
10:55 pm

11:04 pm
me and more correspondent david greene about what we asked to meet me and more really is on the brink of a civil war as the u.n. envoy is warning. when you look at how the situation has deteriorated there in the past few weeks the massive uptick in violence the security forces attacks largely on unarmed civilians. now we may see more on death and groups potentially getting involved in the fight and different fronts the fact that students in office workers from the main cities have been going to the jungles to get such a crash course in guerrilla warfare all this shows you that this really does have the potential to turn into a full blown civil war how quickly we get there is a little difficult to say but as this develops we could something to looking at suit shortages. the public health care system in myanmar which even before the pandemic was greatly under resourced well now it's barely functioning that could get much worse this could absolutely turn into

11:09 pm
back seen vials with permission from u.s. authorities in marinade is the key mechanism used in the backseat it triggers the body's own cells to produce the protein needed to defeat the corona virus. and my colleague our reporter i mean yes it is here now he's been following this story so i'm going to have to ask you if i have a lab at home can i now make the modern of vaccine for myself depends on how much money you're spending on a lab i think the short answer is no it's not possible you might think that given that did have a good reputation for being a place where like online hacktivists code to post you know open source computer codes that will allow you to download programs that are typically copyrighted for free and so now the stanford scientists have posted it there it might look like you might be able to download m.r. in a sequence but the fact is that that's a complex biological construct that needs to be made using a very complex and sophisticated supply chain that involves
11:10 pm
a lot of money and laboratory equipment that you probably won't have a breaking bad trailer out in the backyard so the short answer is no it's not going to be. the easy for anyone to duplicate this with anything that's successful so it is complex and complicated what's what's behind publishing it then why make it public well their reason was very simple it's that this is a biological component that's now found in a large percentage of the human population people have had the moderna vaccine that hangs around for a while anyway and so this is important for researchers who want to know exactly what this is how it sequence so especially for researchers on kobe 19 and other vaccines if they're looking at patients and they see m r n a and that patient they want to know is this from the patient from their body this is from the virus the code in 1000 or is this from a vaccine and now they can if they can look at the sequence that's been posted online they can say this is that and not something else but i mean i'm thinking
11:11 pm
wondering are we talking about intellectual property rights being violated here or . don't they have some type of patent protection on the sequencing that makes this vaccine well they do have a patent on that the question is whether or not just showing people what that sequence is is a violation of the patent rights doesn't look like it is you know if you can say what a mercedes benz is made out of doesn't mean that you're violating their internet and by just saying what it is now it's basically what this code is it's just showing other scientists look this is what we have found. marinade to be sequenced as and actually the scientists alerted moderna to their project on monday and i didn't object to it seems that there's no secret recipe here. it's always only a thank you. the belgian police have clashed with a large crowd gathered in a brussels park after a fake concert was announced on social media as an april fools day. this
