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 gotham berlin this is the day. they're coming and he's moving away from the truth republican one thing else how do

you tell the party based on margins this election was the big lie and listen cheney is a liar trapped. here country the train president trump the enormous work the president trump has done for a country feel the chance donald trump is the measurement for staying as the real republican party just picture. 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 the 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. 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. to this is interstate she's been censured an interstate her poll numbers have dropped for the last year and that any of your advantage was really don't get rid of her. for the next unless it 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 we've had internal fights and disagreements

i don't ever remember any my kids. are going to bring in our washington bureau chief in a spoken even team you know as 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 aren't the republicans. well it became a party that cares more about staying in power than anything a party which is willing to sell it sold to another. 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 there is 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 their. right so the party leadership as it's just mentioned said that they are a big tent party but you are only welcome under this big tent if you are not outspoken against trump and that's exactly what liz cheney did she things 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 med gates he's one of trump favorites congressman and of anything it became really crystal clear to me that diehard from supporters are still around

and are very unlikely to disappear soon let's have a look. it's in 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 trying to country. in the country. congressman gates and congresswoman major retailer green still have the rally america 1st at a time in the battle for the party's identity is in full swing so today. we send a strong message to the weak establishment in both parts america 1st isn't going away i want go out to my. representative cheney is being punished for saying that truth matters more than loyalty to donald trump.

and used it in the way. you said with ellen de vries said. you know things that are. outside of the venue or gates in green are rallying in a small group of republicans who have gathered to express their wish and hope. future of the party that believes 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're just yelling and 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 likely. you know the trump train keeps on going eat is headed for the midterm elections in the u.s. and 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 at 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 double 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 c. so all ideas all political plans that need time to be accomplished and if he would lose both chambre in november 2022 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 in his as always thank you. you could 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. 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 we stole the balance of power between the executive legislature 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 a 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 wasn't 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 maybe he's been in some time in washington d.c.

boris 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 at 5 yes to that but he can't call one suit if he changes the lol 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 gain quite a lot of votes in the heartland of the labor party up in the north of them let's take a listen to another section of the queen's speech from today take a listen. my ministers will promote the strength and integrity of the union.

measures will be brought forward to strengthen development government in northern ireland and address the legacy of the past. quite near the queen there of course she's touching on this idea of national unity high on the agenda after a strong showing by an 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 and 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 gunboat some across the channel to france. yes there are quite a lot of bits and pieces in here which one might call a post bricks it's 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 and slow 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 europe program and chatham house is always great is going talking with you we appreciate your insights tonight thank you. thank you very much. scientists believe that most likely originated in a wild animal some have turned their concerns to pets. free friends could become carriers of the disease and even develop. 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 recovered 19 vaccine for animals this is his owner's 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 infection home with him we plan to start a family and heard that covert can 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 links worked. gold in denmark after some of them caught covert 900. the russian made vaccine called carney back could prevent that according to developers the country's veterinary and cultural watchdog zor 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 measures for disease prevention for animals prevent people getting sick as well because around 70 percent of human diseases come from animals who get . the vaccine as developers say there has already been demand for the job from businesses in several european countries including in germany but not zorra recommends the vaccine for animals kept in close contact including at 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 a global nonprofit organization dealing with scientific research into the connections between humans and rules and environmental health it's good to have you on the program this story had people in the newsroom interested and excited there

was a combination of vaccine 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 the 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 and 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 and 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 on non-human primates are our 8 cousins are certainly susceptible and there's been reports of those and grill is 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 ones 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 in 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 as soon spread around the 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 mentioned 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 that 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 vaccine or vaccine 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 opportune action animals and people on it and there's cost effective them 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 we. 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 day we'll see you than ever but.
