in washington state, the health department has identified 153 outbreaks at grocery stores, which is fewerhot back, "our stores are not hazardous come our covid rate is below the industry average. hazard pay does nothing to make the associates more safe." but the hazard pay drives up operating cost by 22%, and that is the reason they say they are closing two of their struggling stores in the city, putting 109 employees out of a job. >> there is a point where it does not make sense to keep the doors open. seattle has already had challenges, and this just added to it. >> kroger's also closing two of its subsidiary stores in long beach due to hazard pay even though the companies revenue is up with fewer people eating out. an expert on seattle's $15 minimum wage wall says when workers pay is forced up, their winners and losers. >> some might discover they do not have a job at all. when you say you are going to give somebody more per hour, whether that means they get more money at the end of the day depends on how many hours they get. >> lawsuits have been filed in both california and washingto

washington. barbara, you covered the state department for the past four years during the trump administration.compare those years with what you heard today? barbara: mr. biden was trying to draw a line under his foreign policy, and make it very different from his predecessor. in fact, he mentioned his predecessor, didn't t? the days of rolling over in the face of aggression are over. he was responding to president trump's relationship with prident putin. although i should say, president trump's administration was also pretty tough on russia. they sanctioned russian officials for various reasons. but president biden as leader of the country is going to take a different stance towards russia. so he talked about standing up to adversaries together with allies. this is the biggest line, that they are going to work with partners and allies and that is the way they can make a difference in the world and be strong. they say the trump administration didn't do that. so this is going to be a real difference in emphasis. they are also emphasizing very strongly from the white house human rights and americ

she led a similar department in washington state where they were billed by over 600 million bucks in dulent claims made by nigerian scammers. under her watch the department was taken by the same crew who sent you nonsensical at e-mails begging you to wire money to an account for their aunt who's stuck in an airport. the e-mails you auto delete they took seriously with 122,000 voting claims fulfilled. maybe i'm wrong but if i'm looking to hire someone getting taken by nigerian scammers must prevent you from getting your foot in the door especially for your job entails not being cheated by nigerian scammers and the media doesn't even think it's news. they are too obsessed with your nutty aunt in georgia who as goofball as she may be didn't send 600 billion taxpayer dollars to nigerian scammers. how do you think this was incompetent enough to be promoted to a national position? by donating a pile of money to the biden campaign? she gave foreigner granted a biden campaign another democratic causes in 2019 and 2020. who knows maybe she thought they were nigerians in desperate need of unemp

administration is free of us trouble hitchens' world jonna take us inside what washington insiders call foggy bottom the department of state as anthony blinken takes over and president biden is appointing new u.s. ambassadors around the world how is the vibe inside state these days. i think it's a very positive one remember that antony blinken it is a veteran of the state department and he pretty much launched his foreign early relations career into state department in the early 1990 s. before moving over to work in the clinton white house and the national security council he's a year veteran of the senate foreign relations committee when now president biden was chairman a ranking member and then he obama national security council 4 years before going into the private sector so he said a steady well go hand of the state department of the democratic party as far as you salish friend and couple was a number of veteran democratic friends in the state department who were both in the obama administration is far back as the clinton administration my own sense is that many every people and state have a sense that there is a stead

britannia possessed in the 1890's, the bulk of george washington's correspondence was not publicly accessible, as it was held by the state department. originally purchased from george corbin washington, the president's grandnephew, the personal papers and diaries of the president, as well as state papers from his administration, were not transferred to the library of congress until 1904. as part of the library's institutional reorganization in 1897, the manuscript division was created to house important papers, including those of former presidents, after they came under the ownership of the federal government. and most important for our discussion today, the national archives and records administration was not created until 1934. prior to that time, each government agency or branch was responsible for keeping its own records, and they weren't always stored in ideal conditions, either. washington, d.c. of course had its historical society, but the organization was in its infancy. founded in 1894 as the columbia historical society, its role at the time was to serve as a forum where its members presented papers of historical research,

hold of anyone and it's worth telling you that my colleague rose jordan in washington has been listening to a state department briefing and again the you. yes government the us administration hasn't gotten a hold of anyone from the military in myanmar and that's one of the problems a real lack of information when it comes to that lack of communication or being able to get any form of communication out of the countries there that are involved in this meeting that we're discussing james which one has potentially traction with the military if only to be able to pick up a phone and say guys can we step back from this a little bit. well absolutely i think you would put them in order number one would definitely be china china is the one that has real leverage in myanmar and real leverage on the military in myanmar and after that regional power like vietnam and also another global part power like russia they would have some leverage and those seem to be the countries on the security council that are most skeptical at this stage and committing to do anything as i say their position as it's been explained to me by dip

state department today in washington and initially we were told that this visit would be about thanking the diplomatic corps for their support for the last 4 years and the face of the america 1st policy by donald trump many diplomats push back on that and this is something that biden said he was going to thank them for but we've learned in just the last half hour from the national security adviser jake sullivan that in fact the visit is going to entail much more than we had 1st learned in fact it's going to unveil a number of policy priorities for the biden administration starting with yemen as you mentioned the big headline being that there will be an ending of offenses by our u.s. support for offenses in yemen so that is the top line but there were also other informations that were being passed as well with respect to russia we know that the biden administration plans to have a tougher approach in that respect so there will be some actions coming with respect to russia we also know that there is going to be an announcement today from joe biden with respect to l g b t individuals aroun

i'm joined now by our state department correspondent who is in washington.o be clear that they crown prince has been specifically named in this report. how specific -- how significant is that? guest: berkeley naming him in a u.s. government document as having approved of an operation to capture or kill this dissident, jamal khashoggi is an extraordinary rebuke, and one that had been classified and when that congress has been pushing to get declassified for several years. it is something the trump administration refused to do and the biden administration agreed to do as part of its reset with saudi arabia, focusing more on calling out human rights abuses. it is very significant. the question is what that will lead to. there's pressure to sanction mohammed bin salman, the crown prince, since the intelligence assessment here as he was responsible for this killing. that is very sensitive, because he is the defective ruler of a key u.s. ally and could become the official ruler at any time if his father would pass away. so far, we have not had any indication that'
