my choice would be scott because even though we're told transmitted that stories. and in the best moments and i will. he was a one term us president the only president to be impeached twice his party controlled congress when he moved into the white house his party lost control as he moved out and yet donald trump's grip on the republicans is as tight as ever the party of lincoln thinks it can regain power if and only if it remains the party of trump congresswoman lives cheney she disagrees and she's about to pay the price tonight the politics of power in america loyalty to trump is a must loyalty to the truth

a liability i bring golf in berlin this is the day. the republican party is moving away from the truth republican ideology how do you tell the party based on why this election was the big why and less cheney is a liar trapped. here. the train president trump the enormous work the president trump has done for a country feel he trusts donald trump is the measurement for staying as the real republican party just in the country. also coming up in this pandemic we wear masks to protect others and we get vaccinated to protect ourselves and what have we done to protect. we're pets tonight these shot from russia with. we plan to start

a family and heard that cove it could be dangerous for pregnant women so it's better to be safe it doesn't hurt the cat is bulletin. 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 donald trump the republican party in the price for siding with the truth a half year after his election defeat donald trump is still peddling the rigged election why well why should it matter what a former one term president thinks usually it would matter on wall street main street or on capitol hill but these are not usual times the republican party remains the party of donald trump a majority of republicans say they believe the big lie about the election and republican members of congress have taken the most notable exception is wyoming congresswoman liz cheney cheney is the daughter of a former republican vice president she is as conservative as it gets in america

republicans gave her the nickname darth vader and they minute as a term of endearment but the force is no longer with liz cheney she has been open about her criticism of donald trump and his lies about the election she sees trump as a threat to u.s. democracy and has urged her party to distance itself from trump instead the party is distancing itself from lives cheney on wednesday house republicans are expected to remove cheney as the number 3 house republican leader a demotion for her and a lesson to others of what can happen if you don't pledge allegiance to donald trump. police say they have got. to this is interstate she's been censured and interstate her poll numbers have dropped for the last year that any human being was really didn't get rid of her. at the next and that seems as though the republican party. is trying to identify

what it stands for. and they're in the midst of. a significant sort of mini revolution going on the republican party. i'm a democrat for a long time. we've gone through periods reeve had internal fights and disagreements don't ever remember any like this our own to bring in our washington bureau chief in a spoken even team you know this president biden says the republicans are in the middle of an identity crisis and that they don't seem to know who they are how would you define the party who are the republicans. well it became a party that cares more about staying in power than anything a party of it is willing to sell its soul to not lose donald trump and probably even more so his millions of supporters many of them the party brand even

leadership there really were legislating with expectational that trump would be done soon but he isn't and now that's what they realize and until they're not willing to split from the former president their identity is defined by the trump brand whether they like it or not you know there is this tendency of reporters were guilty of it is well to refer to the republicans as if they're this big this huge monolith we know that's not fair and it's not accurate liz cheney she's just the latest example of the diversity in the party you just returned from a trip to florida which is home to a lot of retired republicans tell us about that. right so the party leadership as it just mentioned said that they are a big tent party but you are only welcome on the this big tent if you are not outspoken against trump and that's exactly what liz cheney did she thinks that truth matters more than trump i went to the villages this is one of the biggest

actually retirement communities communities close in orlando i went there to see the reactions to met gates he's one of trump favorites congressman and of anything it became really crystal clear to me that die hard from supporters are still around and are very unlikely to disappear soon let's have a look. in some places like this here in the villages in florida where the future of the republican party will be decided all the people who have come this afternoon have one thing in common they are convinced that the move from won the election right. here today country. and the country. congressman gates and congresswoman major retailer green still have the rally america 1st at a time when the battle for the policies identity is in full swing so. we send

a strong message to the weak establishment in both parts america 1st isn't going away. soon. representative news cheney is being punished for saying the truth matters more than loyalty to donald trump. and the extent to which. he said with a very serious. you know things that are. outside of the venue where gates and green are rallying in a small group of republicans who have gathered to express their wish uno. true of the party i believe that the republican party is moving away from you know true republican ideals embracing extremism and you know they nobody's listening to anybody else and they just yelling you know talking about you know hiding under

a cloak of patriotism the only people who can stop the train on the republicans themselves at this point doesn't seem very like. you know the trump train keeps on going you know is headed for the midterm elections in the us next year 2022 history shows that republicans usually do well in midterms when there's a democrat in the white house so shouldn't the republicans should they be less focused on themselves and more focused on the issues now well in an ideal world that would be the case frank but here in washington right now power is the name of the game and they are using every opportunity to slow down and tag the biden administration whether it is the situation of the border to mexico more or the approach to foreign policy and that's absolutely not good

for the country but that's what matters for them they want to regain power in november 2022 and this will be very very difficult for joe biden if this happens if the republicans win back control of the house where the senate and toward the senate next year they will see victory as a confirmation of their allegiance to donald trump and that would definitely be a short term gain what do republican voters what do they see the long term for their part. well right that would be a big win for trump and his political brand no doubt with that but it would be devastating for all the plans the biden administration has you know he will let's think about the trillion dollar infrastructural plan for example all the family plan or his green new deal see all ideas all political plans that need time to be accomplished and if he would lose both chambre in november 20th $22.00

that would be far far too little time for him to accomplish what he wants to accomplish with his administration and washington bureau chief in his poem the story for us tonight and if there's always thank you. you can say it's the british equivalent of the u.s. presidential state of the union speech today queen elizabeth opened a new session of parliament it's her 1st major public engagement since the death of her husband prince philip this year's ceremony was pared back because of the pandemic with the queen wearing a day dress instead of her usual robes in crown and this time for the 1st time in decades the queen was not accompanied by her husband i mean what remains unchanged the speech delivered by the queen was written by the prime minister will go to the u.k. for analysis in just a moment let's listen to an excerpt of the queen's address my government will

strengthen and renew democracy and the coast. legislation will be introduced to ensure all the intended in the election protect freedom of speech and restore the balance of power between the executive legislative and the courts. i want to bring in quentin peel he's an associate fellow with the europe program at the think tank chatham house he's an familiar face to our viewers good evening to you quentin strengthening democracy the introduction of photo i.d.'s for voters am at elections is britain's democracy is it under threat through voter fraud no i don't think it is and the curious thing about this is that a certain person called boris johnson wrote a furious column several years ago in which he said if he were ever.

asked for his id on the street he'd tear it up and he opposed the whole idea very much when he was the prime minister now he seems to be bringing it in because of some around the mythical idea that there is rampant fraud. at the ballot box i don't show where it's coming from i mean spending some time in washington d.c. boards johnson has given himself the opportunity to scrap sixt terms for parliament how do you read that. well i think well this queen's speech is really all about his boris johnson preparing to call an election rather sooner than he might. might have expected so the last election 29 t. the next one should be that 5 years after that but he can't call one soon on if he changes the role and i think he's feeling rather pleased at the way the elections went last week and certainly in england where he actually managed to get a slice

a lot of votes in the heartland of the labor party up in the north which. let's take a listen to another section of the queen's speech from today take a listen to my ministers will promote the strength and integrity of the union. now usually brought forward to strengthen develop government in northern ireland and address the legacy of the past. the queen there of course she's touching on this idea of national unity high on the agenda after a strong showing by scottish nationalists in last week's elections yes indeed and i don't think there's very much substance there is still well they intend to do the key issue clearly in scotland is will they demand another referendum on scottish independence and there's nothing really in this legislation

or anywhere else that would head that off so what i think boris johnson is putting his real hope in is what he calls levelling up that's to say spending more money on things like infrastructure on things like job training in the economically most depressed of the country which might include scotland certainly into the north of england and if that's the case if he really does put serious money into that then in fact he could be looking for another term in office before expected there was a lot about overseas trade in britain carving out a leading place in the world global britain is this about more than just sending gunboats across the channel to france. yes there are quite a lot of bits and pieces in here which one might call a post bricks its agenda post kovi it breaks it so what he's trying to do is

give himself more freedom to subsidize companies that may be facing a lot of red tape now that britain is outside the european single market and also he's backing an idea of introducing free enterprise as low tax free enterprise that he might also put in places like the north of england and that's another way he might try and use the post bricks it situation to spend a bit more money in parts of the country which haven't been doing so well. and quickly you know today was the 1st time that we've seen the queen since the funeral of prince philip and many will remember that image of her sitting there all alone the sadness of that moment almost palpable made today was the queen's 1st appearance since the death of her husband what did you make of her i think she's

amazing actually she's 95 years old she had little with with great grace and aplomb and calmness that wasn't it was a bit of a rag bag it was speech that she had to give but it was quite short and she got through it with flying colors really i'm not sure that she really could come away from it saying i understand what my government is trying to do the financial times described it as full of ideas but not much intellectual coherence and yeah well as you said she is a woman over the age of 9 point people associate fellow with the euro program and chatham house is always great it's good talking with you we appreciate your insights tonight thank you. thank you very much. scientists believe that most likely originated in a wild animal have turned their concerns to pets.

friends could become carriers of the disease and even develop potential birol mutations that are dangerous to humans researchers in finland in the united states are working on a coronavirus vaccine for animals but russia it appears was quicker is just released the 1st vaccine to be used on. this cat is a pioneer albeit an unwilling one catch a cat is one of the 1st recipients of the 1st ever a covert 19 vaccine for animals this. is onerous daniel and say they signed up for the vaccination just to be on the safe side. almost our cat goes outside a lot sometimes he doesn't even come home at night because he's doing his own thing but he lives with us so we're always concerned he could bring an end faction home with him we plan to start

a family and heard that cove it could be dangerous for pregnant women so it's better to be safe it doesn't hurt the cat. the vaccine will provide these cats with immunity from the corona virus for at least 6 months according to the doctors here . and animals can show respiratory symptoms of the disease problems breathing a cough or a loss of their sense of smell essentially the symptoms are the same as they are for people just in a much much lighter form. but it's not the symptoms themselves that are a concern here the world health organization has warned that animals including minks could become carriers for the corona virus and even pass it back to people last year 17000000 minks work. gold in denmark after some of them caught covert 19 . the russian made vaccine called carney back could prevent that according to developers the country's veterinary and cultural watchdog group or began trials on

rabbits dogs cats foxes and other animals in october now they say the job is ready for mass production. the vaccine was developed as a preventative measure something aimed at the future in case there are negative situations like the development of a mutation that can be passed between different types of animals so we shouldn't forget that any measure is for disease prevention for animals prevent people getting sick as well because around 70 percent of human diseases come from animals . who get. the vaccines developers say there has already been demand for the job from businesses in several european countries including in germany but it has not zorra recommends the vaccine for animals kept in close contact including it for farms and zoos they say that for now pets like these cats are very unlikely to become a risk to their owners. who. is

the executive vice president for health and policy at eco health alliance that's a global nonprofit organization dealing with scientific research into the connections between humans animals and environmental it's good to have you on the program this story had people in the news room interested and excited there was a combination of back seeing talk about vaccines and meows going on but before we talk about that i want to ask you about the corona virus is there an agreement among scientists and researchers that the virus that causes a scene that it originated in animals in a wild animal. well it's most likely is all the closest cousins of the corona virus have been found and that is quite a few of them really hundreds of related corona viruses and a large group really related to cope at 19 that is found normally and bat so

whether or not that happened in the last year or that was several years ago when it became established in humans or maybe it got into some other type of animal and then into humans all the evidence points to that if a vaccine has been produced for animals i mean that implies 2 things that that the virus could be a threat to them and also implies that maybe that our pets could be a potential threat to our health are they when it comes to this virus. well so far what we've seen. are some animals getting infected in some species some groups of animals are certainly more susceptible and we've seen that in what's called the must tell it the minx in the ferrets are surely susceptible cats are somewhat in the next group of domestic cats have been getting infected and some of which get sick exotic cats or non domestic cats or tigers lions are also

sceptical we've seen that in zoos so there's that possibility and of course our non-human primates are our 8 cousins are certainly susceptible and there's been reports of those and grill those also in captive situations such as is when you look at the situation around the globe consider the situation in india right now or in brazil how useful is it then to be focused on the animal vaccines against the corona box. well the disease is most easily transmitted among people and we have seen that over the decades with other of these diseases it will refer to is coming from animals the want to kind of we think of it in a one health approach the health of people and animals are inextricably linked and of also with the environment so we've seen h i b aids which originated in animals but it's become a human to human to human disease and we've seen that over and over and that's the

case with coke at 19 it's become a human disease and so your chances of getting it for animal from an animal are minuscule compared to getting it from a human but we do have some evidence certainly in the case of minks and mink farms where it is come back into humans so we are concerned that it could have become established in the wild even if we get it under control in people now that we have billions of people potentially infected around the planet and that's what happened with the plague or the black death soon spread around earth the disease became established in wild animals and animals all over the world so now we have played everywhere but it was spread by people and then became established in animal populations definitely a concern something to look out for for the future you you mentioned mix for example and the i guess the the economics cynic among us would say that this new vaccine is just a shot in the arm for meat farmers is it. well possibly i don't know

what the economics are in each country about whether the mink farmers have to pay for it themselves or if it's going to be a public health application like we do with controlling rabies some countries if the owner pays for rabies vaccination for their pet and in some countries that's provided free service really depends on the situation and each country around the world and don't we really need this this animal bank senior bank scene for our pets because of the troubling level of vaccine hesitancy that we're seeing among human beings. well i think that that's a very good point about you know if it raises people's comfort level to see it being used in their pets and if they're comfortable enough for their pet to be vaccinated then they may take it themselves i think that's great i think people should have the option when those vaccines become available once again in some

countries are struggling enough to get people vaccinated and we know that the animals are at lower risk so it might not be the top priority but we're actually nation is becoming widespread and there's opportunity actually animals and people want it and there's cost effective in the case that they might have to pay for it and then those kind of the stars align and i don't see a big problem with that yeah i mean it does make you wonder though is this going to be maybe a luxury item that some people in the 1st world have for their pets i guess we'll see because we still have to convince these people to get the shots themselves we have correct executive vice president for health for health and policy a great people it would thank you wayne we appreciate your time your insights tonight thank you. my pleasure thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either the news or you can follow me and. remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another

a great tragedy for our republic for our entire country and we deeply regret that this is happening this way that. school shootings are rare in russia where gun laws are tight the government has ordered a review of firearm regulations meanwhile the city of cazan grieves and waits for answers. let's bring in now our moscow bureau chief he is at the scene in southwestern russia good evening to you you're you're at the school right now what more can you tell us about the scene there. well brands people i've talked to are absolutely shocked and nothing like this has ever happened here and cazan just the bag background cazan is the capital of the russian republic of tatarstan just over 1000000 people live here different nations fresh in the stock us ukrainians tourists come here from all over russia the city is known for being very

beautiful and peaceful it used to be one of the host cities during this sucka walt cop in russia 2018 so the fact that something like this could happen has shocked everyone here but people are not afraid there is additional security at schools across of the city at the moment and schools will be closed today and tomorrow here as well thursday has been declared an official day of mourning in the republic of tatarstan do we have any indication tonight about a possible motive for the shooting while the investigation is in is to get into this attack is ongoing so we may find out more batta this shoot us soon as far as we know the suspected attacker was a 19 year old man she reportedly graduated from the school here at tax 4 years ago an interesting detail is that a few days ago that attack a cold himself on social media dogs and all the morning before the shooting he

announced he would be killing a huge number of biomass well that's our stan is a muslim republic with the in russia islam plays a very important role here but we have to be very careful with be just this pairing this shooting for example with the school siege 2004 that involved in prison went off more than 1000 people as hostages you know we are used to hearing about school shootings in the united states but what about russia how common are school shootings in russia. well such attacks are extremely rare in russia i have to say very different from the us and school attacks with a firearm arm even the rare are because russia has very strict gun laws and the school attacks that to death take it to take place in the recent yes in that country wall mostly carried out either with other weapons like with a knife or a hammer all with an advantage in recent yes however it has been relatively quiet

in russia as it was a no major attacks no mass at tax security services are very present all the russians trees people are checked in the entrances of all large shops and shopping centers and on the subway already rich other but the latest tonight from the city of cazan where that school shooting took place today here you think you. are the schedule up to speed now on some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the european union's foreign affairs representative says north macedonia meets the conditions to start a session talks. spoke after meeting north macedonia's prime ministers soraya in brussels today praised his efforts to align foreign and security policy with the european union spain's cabinet has approved a labor wall that gives delivery companies a mid august deadline to hire workers who are currently freelancing for the the legislation also requires transparency of artificial intelligence used to manage work forces some delivery workers are protesting the wall saying they prefer to
