allan fisher has more from washington. some are concerned others think it is a very bad idea you remember there was just april the 14th when joe biden unknowns that all u.s. troops would be out of afghanistan by september that will mark 20 years since they moved in after the attacks on 911 here in the united states in new york and washington though the trump administration had already said it was intending to pull all the troops out by me that timeline has been pushed back by joe biden why talks continue brokered by the khatami's with the taliban and other representatives of the afghan government certainly we heard from bob menendez who is the chairman a democrat on the foreign relations committee he said that he was worried that there was still some form of antiterrorism operation available to the united states in the area people have been talking about possibly setting up some sort of forward base in india he also said it was important that they didn't take their eyes off afghanistan after the withdrawal of course many p

let's go straight allan fisher's live in washington d.c. allan what are we expecting to hear from the c.d.c. today. well that meeting with the c.d.c. underway in atlanta just in the last hour you'll remember the earlier this month the pause was put on the johnson and johnson vaccine after $6800000.00 doses had been issued they phoned it in 6 cases there were blood clots in the interim there's probably been about 7000000 doses that have been issued issued in the period between stopping and getting all done and there was another few cases reported although we don't know exactly how many so now the c.d.c. is deciding what it wants to do know the number of options on the table 1st of all it could continue the pause until it gets more information but those who have been attending the meeting say that they think they have enough to make a decision they could call a halt to using the johnson and johnson vaccine which of course has been very popular because it's one and done or they could continue with a number of restrictions and that's exactly wha

the where his election promises currently stand it's go live now to outland fisher who joins us from the white house so allan do we have any indication of what he's actually going to say. well 6 hours away from the speech you would think that he's already worked out what he's going to say we've got a few headlines we know that he's just been meeting with media representatives from the u.s. network saying that he didn't realize quite how bad the situation was with covert when he walked into the oval office because of what was a very poor transition but he's going to talk about how he's turned things around remember he promised 100000000 vaccines by 100 days in office is exceeded that number of people thought he set the bar a bit too low on that he'll also talk about the covert relief bill he said he had to get a when right off the bat and most americans received $4800.00 because joe biden push that through congress without a single republican vote he's going to turn his attention to health welfare and education he's saying that there should be an american families bill which will give universal preschool to 3

let's go live now to minneapolis alan fisher has been watching this morning's proceedings allan what do you make of it. it is ignore me enormously significant here is the 1st direct testimony that we've had that suggests that the actions of derrick children was directly responsible for the death of george floyd by restricting is their way stalking him breathing and impacting on the brain and then impacting on the heart as well. it's just really difficult to see how the defense can counter such very strong evidence from a man who is an independent witness than an expert on breathing what was interesting he said the cause of the law level of oxygen with small shallow breaths he was not able to caddy here in his lungs and you can see him struggling several times at one point the doctor mentions how you could even see his hands and his knuckles moving he said this was george lloyd attempting to breathe through his knuckles. and then he said did that to the knee on the neck was a problem for him and he said absolutely it did and then he was question would be healthy for problems with this

wavering commitment to protecting human rights and universal values let's go to alan fisher's live for us in washington d.c. allan no previous u.s. presidents have made such a declaration so why has biden dunnit. ronald reagan claimed close in 1801 but if you go back just exactly a year ago on the 24th of april last year joe biden who was then candidate joe biden said that he would recognize what happened to the armenians as genocide remember back in 2019 both the house and the senate here in washington on a bipartisan basis that cleared what happened in that area just in 1915 as a genocide joe biden believes that by doing this it will stop future atrocities of this kind but the statement is coached in terms of trying not to upset turkey too much e.m.c. the ottoman era genocide you take it i'm talking about how not to cast blame and how it's important that both countries look to the future we know that joe biden and the president of the one do not get on well that goes back to joe biden this time as vice president in the obama administration there have been tensions between the united states and turkey over recen
