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'm burnt off 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 what this election was the big lie and liz cheney is a liar trapped. here. betraying president trump the

enormous work the president trump has done for a country feel he tests donald trump against and measurement for staying as a republican. 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 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 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 and 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 note the most notable exception is wyoming congresswoman lives 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 truck 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. liz cheney they have. to this is in our state she's been censured in her state her poll numbers have dropped for the last year and that any human being was didn't get rid of her. the next day and 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 reeve had internal fights disagreements don't ever remember any likeness of our own to bring in our washington bureau chief in his poll getting team in 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 are the republicans. became a part of that cares more about staying in power than anything a party of it is willing to sell his soul 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 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 their. right so the party leadership as it 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. in some places like this here

in the villages in florida 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 donald trump won the election. ok. fair trial the jury. in 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 today. we send a strong message to the weak establishment in both parts america 1st isn't going away what. representative cheney is being punished for saying that truth matters more than loyalty to donald trump that's not then and the extent to which. he said with a racist. i know things that are.

outside of the venue where gates and green are rallying the small group of republicans who have gathered to express their wish an open. future 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 and he treats isn't 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 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 tags 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 the word 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 see all ideas all political plans that need time to be accomplished and if he would lose both chambre and nov 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 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 crayon 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 constitution legislation will be introduced to ensure the integrity of 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 and strengthening

democracy the introduction of photo i.d.'s for voters and 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 now he's been in some time in washington d.c. boris johnson has given himself the opportunity to scrap 60 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 years after 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 get a slice a lot of votes in the heartland of the labor party up in the north with them 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 to strengthen develop 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 huge 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 depressed so 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 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 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 and i did of introducing free enterprise 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. 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 handle it all 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 enchanting 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. 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 the cat is one of the 1st recipients of the

1st ever recovered 19 vaccine for animals it's the is owners 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 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 links work. gold in denmark after some of them caught covert 1000. the russian made vaccine called carney back of could prevent that according to developers the country's veterinary and cultural watchdog said horse not 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 vaccines developers say there has already been demand for the job from businesses in several european countries including in germany 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 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 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 bats is quite a few of them really hundreds of related corona viruses and a large group really related to cope at 19 that's found normally in bats 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 and 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 and some species some groups of animals are certainly more susceptible and we've seen that in what's called the most stellar 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 our non-human primates are our 8 cousins are certainly susceptible and there's been reports of those and gorillas 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 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 that's what happened with

the plague or the black death 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 $1.00 of 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 the situation and each country around the world and don't we really need this this animal vaccine or 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 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 where vaccination 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 what sure re 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 that for health for health any policy. 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 at the news or you can follow me at brant go off to remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

and young people clearly have the solution to their job. 77 percent. m d w o. welcome to global 3000 coming up. how an innovative policy is shaping one brazilian towns response to the pandemic. fashion trends change all the time so want to do with all that textile waste. and of boom in construction it's putting the world's 2nd stores at risk of

depletion. cars computers cell phones airplanes you name it we may take them for granted but these everyday products require vast quantities of natural resources to be produced in 2020 alone trade and mineral resources amount of. some $1.00 trillion dollars by 2025 that figure is set to rise to $2.00 trillion. in the wrong materials or often extract it as part of huge mining operations getting your hands on one ton of pure metal means boring through hundreds of tons of rock the environmental impact can be dramatic with large swathes of land destroyed the same applies to sand according to the u.n. every year an estimated 50000000000 tons of sand is used in the construction industry. a may 24th 20043 man attack

this an environmental activist on the beach in mumbai. she had tried to stop them stealing the precious side and. since that day these types of attacks have just gotten worse it sounds hard to believe but reports from india show it's home to the world's deadliest sand matthew criminal gang there have been journalists alive activists to death and run of the police officers with trucks. but why are people so desperate for sat and is it really so valuable. sound is everywhere the tonic on the road the concrete in your house the glass of your windows and the silicon chip in your photo we have more sound each year than any other material on the planet. it's stood the test of time. but given that one 3rd of all the land on earth is classified as desert you'd think the fan would be easy to get hold of right. even desert country than the middle east imports and from as

far away as australia and canada the world's tallest building of them 830 meter skyscraper in dubai that was built with sad for more than 10000 kilometer the way. that's because of the type of sound that's fueling the world's construction boom desert sand is too smooth for most concrete because the grains of input. by the wind it's like the difference between running your hand over these around hazelnuts walnuts there's not enough friction to make it strong enough to build instead people take you to reach sound from rivers beaches and the sea floor and this can't be replenished on human time scales so. we know that demand for this resource is going to continue to grow and it's already causing problems in many places in the world. this is louise gallagher author of a landmark un report and 29000 on solving sound shortages now scientists always complain they need more data but when it comes to sound they really have no idea.

second most things you know there's always after war. and we don't know where it's coming from and what the impact of that are we got the nature of the problem. but what they do you know we're a research of the 27 team model that global demand sound is growing much faster than what's easily available. in the world would need to make more sound find new sources of it or just use less otherwise it will run out. this is a big problem because sound of the fundamental building block of modern life sound using concrete has been essential to the global construction boom as people in emerging economies move to cities people around the world are building more and more india has become the 2nd biggest cement producer of the last half century singapore has built artificial island that have increased its land mass by a quarter and it did this with massive amounts of sand imported from its neighbors

. the same crisis isn't even just a problem of scarcity the industry is small scale and by the regulated and that's hurting people in ecosystems today. miners take sand from the bottom of rivers in the sea for low paid and without oversight there are reports of child labor from india to uganda. is no protection. so they have to constantly you know. they develop. health complications but if. there's no support at all great. care and pair as an independent researcher who's written a book on solving the crisis she cites a report from an environmental group last year that counted 193 people who died through legal mining in india in just 2 years many of them move. huge. quantities it's bound to have these impact at the moment.

so. mining adds to climate threats like rising sea levels and dropped it erodes beaches destroys river beds and makes landslides more likely an estimated half a 1000000 people living along the river will need to be moved from collapsing river banks partly because of mining in india has pushed species like the carol crocodile to the verge of extinction. how can we solve the global crisis. experts say the 1st step is cutting the amount of concrete. that could mean using more efficient concrete mixes with less cement or replacing it altogether with alternatives like. building denser cities means less concrete for each person . and then site needs to be re-used when buildings are demolished the waste can be

crushed in mixed into cement rubble can be used to make building foundations and there's already happened in some places where new building materials are expensive germany for instance recycled more than 2 thirds of its construction ways but in countries like india and bangladesh it's less than 10 percent by taking that approach we're taking into account the fact that this material is not. available to us. infinite terms for evermore you know that all i really do is you would want. the 3rd thing is finding and certifying sustainable source of sound take green it's increasing the world's supply of sound as if by 3 metals that's already delivered 8 percent of the sediments added to the well the oceans each year it's hard to believe but global warming is speeding up that process. experts say that mining grain and sign could ease the pain of quitting concrete for the rest of the world but it would have to be done together with local communities and without hurting the pristine optic wildlife and that brings us to the final point those

solutions just help fix the shortages of sound but to protect people and make sure governments also need to regulate the industry and enforce rules to stop the illegal sound trade we can build without sat there plenty of examples where our ability to construct does not is is not dependent on how. we can decouple and so we can still build and allow for human prosperity without destroying our ecosystem. what is a circular economy. goodbye to that empty to go on the way to work farewell to that pair of worn out shoes the out of date smartphone so long. our daily lives are dominated by a relentless round of production and consumption in the process we waste valuable

resources squandering finite commodities such as oil gas and precious metals. throwing things away creates a lot of trash and harmful emissions. we could look to nature as an example it's cyclical plants grow and die their nutrients flow back into the ground and the process starts again. can't we create cycles in which today's products become tomorrow's raw materials absolutely the principle is known as a circular economy. the goal is to preserve natural resources reduce carbon emissions and avoid mountains of trash. most modern electronics contain rare earth elements and precious metals but while broken t.v.'s can be used to make new tablets other products such as batteries are full of chemicals and valuable raw materials that aren't so easy to bring back into the cycle separating all those

parts is costly and labor intensive. but the process works well with p.t. bottles $500.00 trillion of them are used to each year worldwide peak is an artificial resin made from crude oil and natural gas the cycle starts when p.t. bottles are produced next fill filled but on to supermarket shelves and sold once the contents are consumed the bottles are placed into recycling machines. and recycling centers they're turned into granular it which is used if the banks exploit new products such as new bottles grocery bags and football jerseys and that's how 100 percent of the recycled bottles end up back in the circular economy . mass production is also an issue in the fashion industry some $120000000000.00 articles of clothing are produced annually with the market growing all the time worldwide the average consumer buys 20 articles of clothing

a year in germany it's over 50 that means one new garment pro. some brands bring out a new collection more than once a month and people just keep on buying so what can be done embracing the circular economy could help and that's the topic of our new series. ngugi shirt new pants another t. shirt a new hoodie. and maybe another pair of sneakers on special offer most likely all these new garments will end up in the trash sooner rather than later just like $92000000.00 tons of textiles every year only one percent of that gets recycled the true price of fast fashion. between 200-2015. clothing production meanwhile the amount. used in the news for actually decreased by. this sorting facility in eastern germany takes in

a lot of unwanted clothing but here it's treated as a new resource every day worker sort of to 200 tons of items based on their condition style and type of material it's one of the largest facilities of its kind in europe garments come from all over the world through in-store collection and recycling containers they're either sent to 2nd hand shops or sold to recycling firms to create new fabrics some $500000000000.00 us dollars could be earned every year worldwide and if the clothes industry would shift to a circular economy. valuable resources abound in our clothing and. it is it is it would be a shame to not reuse allies these review resources we are creating value again because we are identifying items that do didn't have the demand of the

customer who previously owned it anymore numberless there are other people who are demanding these types of garment. and that's how the value is created. for more recycling is growing fast fashion now. is partnering with mother. from a privilege based initiative called circular fashion it's seeking to move the industry towards a more sustainable bottom we are dealing with also a very valuable product kashmir for example. through identified by simply touching it and this is in a way is a showcase for what's about to come with regards to material recognition because this weekend identify however when we're dealing with various mixes. we need more precise information find a future as a bill be relevant like 80 percent to 90 percent full because the recycling thing for a much different qualities you know is expected this is one of the percent will. combine materials which have all 80 percent so that the output of the recycling is

really usable for the inspection industry. many of the items that end up here are no longer wearable around 60 tons daily right now most of that goes to the automotive industry but it's impossible to utilize the full potential of these check styles everything by hand this is where the technology developed by my. colleagues comes into it so. this is actually think sation which is equipped with a scanner and fruit a scanner as soon as a garment comes to the table with an idea inside circularity idea. and we get all the products specifications and with this product we can calculate. the best case. workers still have to decide whether the item is wearable or not the

wish to shown on the screen truly circular products will one day contain information from the whole. changing. the conventional textile industry is resource intensive it relies on oil chemicals and 93000000000 cubic meters of water every year the difference in a circular model starts at the very beginning of the product. it's all about from the outset from the design principles ensuring that you are eliminating waste and pollution that you are keeping products materials in use and you are generating. take dying off the conventional approach uses water and chemicals one reason why fashion is responsible for 20 percent of the world's waste water this starts companies different it's facility in vietnam dies polyester without process chemicals or water. or what they're just through today that's all you want to shoot so if you look at it is that it will be under 50.
