ali: for most of her life, schilling was known as timothy.t as transgender in april 2019, two days after president donald trump reinstated a ban on people like her serving openly. >> i spent the first 36 years of my life trying to figure this out and fight it. and i just got to the point where i couldn't fight it anymore, and i had to do something. ali: now, outside work at a naval air base in maryland, schilling can be herself. but while she waited for the new policy to take effect, she had to wear a facade, presenting male and wearing her gender-neutral flight suit daily. >> you play this hypermasculine role, and then come home and turn it off. it's exhausting. ali: in 2016, president barack obama declared that being transgender was no longer grounds for dismissal. the military began covering gender-affirming health care, like hormones and surgery, announced then secretary of defense ash carter. >> i'm announcing today that we are ending the ban on transgender americans in the united states military ali: schilling had been coming to terms w

ali: i smile because it is everything.starts with supply-side issues. 89% of builders say that that will impact their ability to build. local jurisdictions did not think housing was going to be this hot. the government are scrambling to get permits done, get entitlements done. all we talked about in 2019 was the labor shortage. you will never hear about annette because lumber is taking the front stage. there is a lot of factors working against the builder. joe: does the price of lumber matter at all or is it about whether the builders can bundle it? >> the price of lumber does matter because we are thinking long-term, if you're talking about interest rates going up, you have to be the one that purchases the home at that entire price. i texted with the ceo of one of the biggest homebuilders yesterday and i said what is the workaround? he said there is no workaround, we are just going to try to be a bit more efficient. some builders are trying to warehouse lumber. in a lot of cases, builders are just raising prices and consu

>> well, it's split universe really, ali.u poll something like background checks on guns it polls 97% approval. now that means you've got to have a lot of republicans to get 97% of the entire country. so, you know, more than 50% or 50% -- way more than 50% of republicans are supporting things like background checks and red flag laws and i'm sure on ghost guns. we had the nra, which just had a hostage hold on the republican party, for years that's going bankrupt now due to their -- you know, indiscretions and profligate spending and insider dealing. the fact of the matter is, if you're a republican, it's a cultural thing, not political. republicans believe, thanks to donald trump and many others, that it shows weakness if you support any kind of measure on the second amendment. they think that any measure, even including background checks is, quote, an imposition on your second amendment rights. well, background checks are an imposition on second amendment rights in the same way that seat belts are an imposition on your rights

al-aly: this is absolutely correct.we say recovery from covid, it is recovery from acute covid. but many go on to experience long-term symptoms that don't really go away. shortness of breath, cough, more alarmingly, new onset chronic diseases, including heart disease, brain problems, stroke, kidney disease, liver disease, and other manifestations. new onset diabetes, for example. these are chronic conditions that do not go away. so we are seeing that acute covid is really the tip of the iceberg. what is beneath the iceberg is long-term morbidities that affect it percent to 10% of the people that were affected with covid. that burden is substantial and requires early proactive measures by all segments of society, including health care systems, to deal with the long-term consequent is about -- long-term consequence is of that. kailey: how does the vaccine factor into that? is it a treatment for long-haulers? dr. al-aly: well, the best way to avoid long haul syndrome is to avoid covid itself. the best way to avoid covid is

as far as i'm concerned i full disclosure am an ali baba shareholder i will not be selling my ali baba shares because i believe that they are still no matter what kind of a court standard to china's economy however their situation right now has me asking more questions than i would have asked a year or 2 ago for sure but you can't have a chinese economy without a bob they are perhaps more central than just about any other company to the future of china and i think that altogether you know the cards are still in their favor but they are far more challenged than they were maybe a year or 2 ago all right thanks so much for your analysis on that. so the head of al-jazeera the medical official who performed george floyd's autopsy says police action caused his death. but. we've got more spring snow in the forecast across parts of here if we've got to the cold air which has made its way down across hungary rumania we see some snow into northern parts of grace pushing across more snow sweeping in across the northwest well through the british isles through good parts of scandinavia northerly wi

practices of you know ali baba are not that much different than the anti-competitive practices of say facebook or amazon but what's different is that usually in the west they'll just slap him with a fine and they'll move on in this situation we see it at ali baba and jack ma business empire in particular really seems to be in the not in the good graces of beijing will say and what this and that ends up happening often is that it leads to the sort of reputational damage where a lot of companies don't want to do business with companies or individuals that are not in good with aging and i think that's the big risk for ali baba going forward i think i'm a big question for ali baba's future is about how much they can separate themselves from jack ma another story that hasn't been as widely reported at this find is that over the past week jack my executive business school has stopped taking on new enrollment by order of the government essentially what the government is saying in this situation is that they do not want jack ma to have influence or power in china under huge imprint that jack

>> ali, i don't think we will have a problem selling it. you know, we have not been in session the last two weeks. i have been all over in michigan, and nobody is saying, gee, this sounds like too much. they're saying, how fast can you get it going. i mean they also know that all of this construction, no matter what it is, is tens of millions of good-paying jobs. they know that we're going to focus on by american, so whether it is the materials for all of these projects or whether it is leaning in to bye electric vehicles as the federal government so we help create the market, people get it. they know. again, you don't have to tell somebody high-speed internet is part of infrastructure. we have lived through what it means to be in plint, michigan, or in detroit or other places where high-speed internet is not available. and it is school, as i said, it is health care, it is small businesses, it is family farmers. we don't have to explain it to people. they are scratching their heads saying, how in the world could mitch mcconnell right out of

shaq, thank you. >>> let me go over to ali velshi. ali, you were on the ground during the protests right after the death of george floyd. what are you seeing now? do you see them preparing in ways that show they may have learned something from what happened last summer? >> yes, both police and protesters are doing that. give you an example of national guard posted on the downtown corner at fifth street near nicollette mall. this is usually a busy downtown area. it's been less busy because of the coronavirus. but you can see the boarding up of places. there are no police on leave now. everybody is called in. when you see police going down the street, you usually see them in 2w0 cars with a national guard officer. where you see protesters on the street, you're not seeing police interaction with them. where there's interaction with the courthouse, for instance, or brooklyn center, about ten miles north of here where daunte wright was shot, there are two lines of fencing in front of the police station. so there's no interaction between po

it's april 4th's i'm ali velshi. happy easter to those who celebrate.s voting rights under attack across the united states. it began with restrictions in georgia pushed through by republicans after record turnout saw them lose the presidential vote and two u.s. senate seats in 2020. the new law requires photo i.d.s, requires people to have copiers or printers available to them, puts timing at polling locations and prevent food or water brought to people waiting in voting lines, often hours long in the georgia heat. the laws do virtually nothing to fight voter fraud but aimed squarely at minority voters declined to make sure they can't win state-wide elections again. since then delta and coca-cola criticized the new law and major league baseball stepped up in a big way

nbc's ali arouzi joins us now from iran. ali, good morning. what are the expectations for talks this week? >> good morning for them well, the aim of tomorrow's meeting in vienna is to try and get both the u.s. and iran back into compliance through reciprocal steps for them to try to figure out a synchronized mechanism that will be acceptable to both sides and crucially the meeting could offer an indication as to whether tehran and washington are ready for a first standive move but phillip, it's going to be complicated. for a start, tehran has rejected any direct contact with the united states in vienna. iranian officials are adamant that the u.s. will not attend any meetings where they are present. also, iran is still maintaining the position that it will only come back into compliance once all sanctions are removed. nonetheless, phillip, this is a step forward it may not have them in the same room, but they are in the same city talking, albeit inndirectly and that may be enough to get the ball running for the u.s. to offer sanctions relief in

baba going forward i think i'm a big question for ali baba's future is about how much they can separate themselves from jack ma another story that hasn't been as widely reported it as this fine is that over the past week jack ma executive business school had stopped taking on new enrollment by order of the government essentially what the government is saying in this situation is that they do not want jack ma to have influence or power in china under huge and that jack ma thought and she jinping thought are not in this and not compatible with one another and i think that the future for alibaba really lies in what they what can they do without jack ma they need to shed jackpot if they are to succeed. still ahead of al-jazeera a greek prime journalist gunned down in athens we'll tell you what police are saying about that attack and indonesia's film industry trying to make a pandemic comeback. how to more sunshine in showers across much of southeast asia as per usual limp like the showers there filtering their way into cambodia into thailand wanted to shout from the eastern side of vietnam

unlike alys nina says she was treated poorly by you know my decided it. was more. that she buys you bundle mass or some new. news or don't draw up on a. yellow card is no longer most unusual but. those in your life you know that shield all. infalling we send in mining is here and you said long before you really knew the out of there. maybe i escaped to age 17 and moved in with a friend and changed back to her timorese name her longing for her family haven't faded. by autumn blown up tired to be on time as i. want to say i don't mean. to be given up playing on the monkey and so i get what i want the ad to. be a humanitarian. finally in 2009 i mean his family found her her mother had prayed for their union for 30 years and i am us but again. it was my my be long i want to call with this i had been. really pumped wanted of. those at the sea air yes i could as a monument up adela nannie. nina is married with 2 sons she works with an ngo called asia justice and writes to find other abducted children and take them home to meet their families. she will accompany al east a

hi, ali, good to see you again. i think the fundamental problem is that republican voters who are seeing this and are saying, yeah, we believe this, they're believing the lies that they're being told by so many republican elected officials in office right now, by the people that led that charge that led to january 6th. and so what you have is donald trump once again throwing one of his own under the bus. i say own very loosely because we all know that donald trump only uses people around him and he uses -- has used the republican party repeatedly to further his agenda and get what he wants. and so here he is calling out mitch mcconnell, calling him names, going after him on a full-on attack. my question is at what point does mitch mcconnell say enough? i'm going to take a stand against this. i'm going to unite the republicans. so few and far between principled republicans have remained in office right now and pull them together and start to pull away from this extremist rhetoric, this dangerous rhetoric that is impa

ali? >> kathy park. thank you, on this story. joining me, patrick skinner, a police officer in savannah, georgia. also a former cia operations officer and former member of the u.s. capitol police. in a new piece in the "washington post," he explains just how the verdict in the trial of former officer derek chauvin is a message for him and his police colleagues, writing in part, quote, as powerful as the murder conviction of former police officer derek chauvin is, what we do next, as a country in general, but also police in particular, will go a long way in determining whether systemic positive police reform is possible. it is in this time, immediately after the verdict, that several things, which are entirely within my control as a police officer, have to happen. officer skinner, thank you for joining me. we appreciate your time. one of the first points that you make in your op-ed is that police must not be defensive. we must not circle the wagons. not all cops is exactly the wrong reaction. even if that's true, not all cops are

and chinese if they trust regulators impose a record fine against ali baba for what it characterizes as abusing its dominant market position for years now the $2800000000.00 fine announced saturday is the quibbling of roughly 4 percent of the company's $21000.00 revenue in the nation the regulatory scrutiny stems from ali baba restricting merchants from doing business or running promotions on another e-commerce platform the regulator bill. if these practices hurt consumers limited competition and had a negative effect on innovation in the space for its part the e-commerce giant accepted the fine and said it would take action including reducing service fees and charges for vendors as well as investing in tools to support merchants on the platform now despite the record 5 shares of the company traded in hong kong closed 6.5 percent higher on monday while shares traded in the us were up as much as 8 percent throughout the day for more on this than what's moving markets monday let's bring in michelle schneider she's a partner and director of trading research and education for market gaug

that is not even counting what we might see from new variants of the virus, ali. that will be a terrible challenge to the vaccines and our public health control methods. we have got a lot to worry about, and it is coming right up. >> michael schmidt, i was intrigued to read matt gaetz in the washington examiner today. to some it seemed trumpian, his defense. not only said his accusers were not telling the truth and named all sorts of forces rallied against him in washington. >> yeah. gaetz so far is taking a trumpian playbook to the scandal that has unfolded in the past week in that piece attacking the media and saying that it was because he has stood up to the swamp as you were pointing out and quoting earlier in the program. you know, in many ways it is not surprising. a lot of the people closest to the president, when they have got then trouble tried to behave like the president and use the tactics he successfully used. when donald trump was president, because he was president he had so many more powers to essentially obstruct investigations and protect himself

ali. dr. ali, new figures show about 8% of people are skipping their second dose of the pfizer or moderna vaccines, how concerning is this? >> yeah, kenneth, when we first came out with the two-dose schedule back last december, i was really worried about people forgetting about their second dose. we have to stress that you only get full immunity 14 days after your second dose. it's very important people get their second dose. it's not too late. even if you're six weeks after the first dose you can still go in and schedule your second dose of the pfizer and moderna. that's very important that people stick to that two-dose schedule. >> good news about travel. european officials say american tourists who have been fully vaccinated will be allowed to visit the european union this summer. no exact date yet. your reaction and message to vaccinated people still worried about traveling? >> the cdc recommends, you know, you take a lot of precautions, especially when it comes to international travel. so

i'm ali velshi.ing up this hour, arizona republicans can't get over the fact their team lost on election day. now they've enlisted the self-proclaimed cyber ninja to help push the big lie. it doesn't get weirder than this. you don't want to miss the story. >>> plus, crucial developments on the fight to get americans vaccinated and why some republicans threaten to set us back. >>> also, the long republican senator that voted against a bill fighting anti-asian hate crimes. but we begin this hour with what comes next. what comes after the sight so many were waiting to see, derek chauvin convicted on all three counts in the murder of george floyd being led away in handcuffs. this is accountability, but many say it still falls short of justice. on thursday i spoke with black minneapolis residents about what it has been like over the last year living in the shadow of this police murder and what the verdict means to them. >> thank you. >> i want to play for you some of the conversation that i had with some

ali, what is going on? there's the manufacturing piece of it and then the use's and disessential nation of the vaccine piece of it. on the usage front, we know the cdc and fda asked people to pause putting shots in people's arms while they investigate a potential link between the vaccine and rare blood clotting disorder reported in about six women nationwide. on the manufacturing front though, that's what we're focused on here today, because we found out yesterday overnight that the fda has asked this subcontractor of johnson & johnson in baltimore to pause production of the vaccine at this facility while they figure out some quality control issues that have been found. i think the timeline, steph, is really important here to understanding what's going on. back at the end of march, we found out this facility mixed up ingredients to two different vaccines, astrazeneca and johnson & johnson. a few days after that news broke, the biden administration decided this facility was only going to manufacture johnson

ali, what are the implications this week?reporter: good morning, lindsey, the aim of tomorrow's meeting in vienna is to trying to get u.s. and iran back into steps, to figure out a mechanism that will be acceptable to both sides and crucially, the meeting could offer an indication as to whether tehran and washington are finally ready for substantive first moves to revive a nuclear deal. but it's going to be complicated. first off, tehran has denied any contact with the united states in vee 18 that they're add damentd that they won't attend any meetings where the u.s. is present. and iran is still maintaining the position that it will only come back into compliance once sanctions are removed. nonetheless, this is a step forward. it may not have them in the same room, but they're in the same city talking, albeit indirectly which may just be enough to get the needle moving. for the u.s. sanctions relief in exchange for iran to roll back its nuclear breaches tomorrow, we'll get an indication whether there's a breakthrough or brea

the practices of you know ali baba are not that much different than the anti-competitive practices of say facebook or amazon but what's different is that usually in the west they'll just slap him with a fine and they'll move on in this situation we see it at ali baba and jack ma business empire particular really seems to be in the not in the good graces of beijing and what this and that ends up happening often is that it leads to the sort of reputational damage where a lot of companies don't want to do business with companies or individuals that are not in good with aging i think that's the big risk for alibaba going forward i think of a big question for ali baba's future is about how much they can separate themselves from jack but another story that hasn't been as widely reported it as this fine is that over the past week jack ma executive business school had stopped taking on new enrollment by order of the government essentially what the government is saying in this situation is that they do not want jack ma to have influence or power in china under huge and that jack ma thought and

the taliban at some point take over afghanistan again and then nobody knows what will happen there ali let that brings us to you you know give us an idea of how this huge announcement is going down. so it's base it's one of those things that has been coming people have been waiting for an answer and now the answer is finally here there's a firm date for once and so that leaves people in 2 states you know there are some people who are very afraid of what will happen on september 12th 2022 who worry very much for our system which well it doesn't 21 who worry very much about you know the people and what will happen and whether they will be attacked and whether the bottle take over and also people who you know suffered from drone strikes or separate from air strikes and night raids and had their family sent to guantanamo in the diagram prison and things like that who you know will be relieved that this force that they saw as you know very violent towards them is finally withdrawing this really as a milestone moment ali coming back to you in brussels a bad you know 2 months ago we heard nat

i want to give you the 1st word ali not exactly a surprise this is a decision given that previous u.s. administrations also set deadlines to pull out troops still how has the leadership in afghanistan reacted to this. so we just saw a statement come from dr abdullah abdullah who is the head of the national reconciliation body and he said that the taliban shouldn't think that just because the us and foreign forces are leaving that they can come easily or that the state will collapse or that this will be that and but in terms of the people the biggest fear and the biggest cause of concern is the fact that this withdrawal is without conditions if you look at previous statements by the u.s. including a letter sent by secretary blinken about a month ago to that of our government they had referred to things like a reduction in violence a cease fire things like that none of that is present and in terms of the current rhetoric and we'll see if joe biden actually brings that up tonight because that's really what's most worrying for people is they haven't actually seen the situation in terms of
