tuscan bread soaked in vinegar and onion and tomato. >> marco: enjoy. >> tucci: thank you. >> daniellae things, i make it for my kids, they'll just eat. like it's ice cream, practically. we have good tomato, good olive oil and tuscan bread. maybe not tuscan bread. maybe, ok. [laughs] i have to admit, that i much prefer tuscan bread cooked in dishes like this because on its own it can taste quite bland and that's an understatement. it actually tastes like cardboard. that's because it's unsalted. one theory is that florence refused to pay its arch-rival town of pisa for its salt. they were willing to spend money with other people but never give money to pisa. >> leonardo: yeah, especially pisa. >> even today. but of course, this being italy, food rivalries go deep but no-one can quite remember why. another idea is this, if they don't use salt the bread could stay for a long time. >> really, without salt? i didn't know that. >> because, because the salt, the salt... >> the salt breaks it down. >> the salt became brine. for sure the most convincing one is we don't want to give money to the

daniella, what size of an asteroid could do really serious damage to the earth? are 50—100 meters across, if they hit a populated area, they could cause a lot of devastation. and those are a lot more common than, for example, ten km across asteroids, which are, you know — the asteroid which likely caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was about that size. so again, it depends what you mean by "serious damage" — there's a range of possibilities depending on the size of the object. but objects in the 100—metre or so rains are a lot more common than the larger objects that have caused distinct events in earth's past. and just briefly, daniella — although i wish we could talk about this all day — how long will it take until the dart crashes into the asteroid? it will happen pretty soon here, in about ten months. so, this is a relatively quick mission compared to some of the other spacecraft that we've sent to explore asteroids. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. hello there. later this week, not only is there potential for some more disruptive weather heading

daniella, what is ahead for this piece of legislation?porter: boris, christi, all eyes are on now senator joe manchin of west virginia. he is really the wildcard here when it comes to this bill in the senate. he is the one, one key swing vote, who will really be the decider of what is included in this bill, and more technically what is paired back with his bill. and he wants a smaller price tag, not $1.9 trillion, he's saying between 1 to $1.5 trillion. that's where we'll keep our eye on as weeks progress. senate majority leader chuck schumer has said he wants to pass the bill by christmas. however, of course, senator joe manchin has not offered his assurances to support the bill. why does senator joe manchin matter so much? well, they plan to pass the bill using a process called budget reconciliation. they just need 50 votes in the senate to pass. which means they need all 50 democratic senators to vote for the bill. as of now, it seems that 49 has signed on. we have reporting that kyrsten sinema in the end is going to support this. she

. >> let's bring in cnn congressional reporter daniella diaz here for us.lla, what is head for this legislation that we know of thus far? >> reporter: christi, boris, now that the house has passed the bill is the first step for the economic bill known as the build back better act that would expand the nation's social safety net. it will go to the senate where it's likely to be pared down because of one senator, senator joe manchin of west virginia who does not want the $1.9 trillion price tag and does not agree with provisions added back in the house version of this bill such as paid leave. so with these provisions, more than $500 billion in climate provisions in the bill. now, important to keep in mind, this bill would directly help americans as i said expand the nation's social safety net. has money for universal pre-k, child care. funding to combat climate change. expanding the child tax credit. these are things that would directly help americans' social provisions in this country. but he does not want an expensive bill. he has voiced concerns again and

. >> reporter daniella diaz is at capitol hill right now.a, they could run out of money if congress doesn't act soon. what are the issues and what do we know about the status of anything? >> christi, alex, lawmakers took this last week off for thanksgiving recess, but when they return tomorrow, it's going be to incredibly busy. a long list, kind. first on the list, as you said, they need to address government funding. it's set to run out on december 3rd. senate majority leader chuck schumer says they plan to pass a short funding bill to pass a larger spending package, known as a continuing resolution. that is what they're going to do first. probably the most important thing they need to address is the debt ceiling. right now, the nation is set to default on its debt on december 15th, something treasury secretary, janet yellen, has been warning again. while mitch mcconnell has said that democrats need to go at this alone, mcconnell schumer reached a short-term deal. there was a breakthrough in discussions between the two party leaders in the

cnn congressional reporter daniella diaz joining us now from capitol hill. good morning. so where do things stand with the president's social spending plan? >> amara, boris, now that the house has passed this bipartisan infrastructure bill that jasmine mentioned that will be signed by president joe biden tomorrow, all eyes turn to this massive economic bill that would expand the nation's social safety net, the second part of the infrastructure agenda that white house wants to pass. this bill would have funding that would combat climate change, would have universal pre-k, expand child care, expand the child tax credit. these are provisions that would help americans directly, which is why progressives and moderates and democratic leaders want to pass this bill as well as the white house. there are still a lot of issues up in the air with this bill, of course, as you mentioned, with senator joe manchin not offering assurances yet that he would support this bill. of course democratic leaders need his support for this bill to pass. the senate, some of the issues he's raised co

daniella relph looks back on his career. # isn't it bliss? # don't you approve? musical a little night music. # send in the clowns. it was stephen sondheim's only hit song — remarkably, because this was the man who revolutionised the american musical. as a young man, he learned his trade from oscar hammerstein — the lyricist who wrote shows like oklahoma and the sound of music. sondheim, too, started by doing the words, notably for leonard bernstein's music in west side story. # i like to be in america! # ok by me in america! soon he was writing his own music as well. # for a small fee in america! most of the shows that followed were hits. and then, in 1970, he came up with a new idea — a musical that didn't follow an obvious plot. # phone rings, door chimes. # in comes company! company was a series of vignettes featuring a dozen central characters. no two sondheim musicals were the same. i don't want to get bored writing and, you know, it's — when you hit a chord that you've hit before, or a technique of using a song that you've done before — or when i do, i get

well, someone who's watching this closely is daniella dellagiustina.from tucson, arizona. daniela, great to have you on the programme. it does sound a bit like science fiction, doesn't it — but how important is this mission? it does sound like science fiction, and i think that's why it's so cool. so this is humanity's first attempt to change or redirect the path of another object in its solar system. and it's very important — we have a lot of theories about how we might deflect an asteroid from crossing paths with our own planet, but so far these are just ideas. so the dart mission will provide the first actual testing of one of these theories. it's a to neck democrat technique that involves sending a spacecraft that really high speeds into another object in order to alter its path. into another ob'ect in order to alter its path.— alter its path. what size of an asteroid could _ alter its path. what size of an asteroid could do _ alter its path. what size of an asteroid could do really - alter its path. what size of an i asteroid could do really seriou

daniella diaz is with us. what are you hearing from lawmakers? do they feel this gives them the momentum, particularly those on the january 6th committee, momentum? >> that's right, fred. lawmakers specifically on the committee were quick to react to news yesterday that steve bannon was indicted saying this sends a very strong message to any other witnesses that refuse to comply with the committee's investigation on the january 6th insurrection. adding to what kara said, steve bannon is not the only one who was called as a witness to the committee and did not comply with the committee. actually yesterday, mark meadows, former chief of staff to former president trump was supposed to attend a deposition at 10:00 a.m. yesterday and turn over key documents, but he didn't show. and there were clues that might happen. as a result on thursday night benny thompson, chairman of the committee, went forward with starting the process to possibly refer him for criminal contempt, the same process that happened to steve bannon which led to him being indicted ye

well now, we are hearing -- my colleague daniella diaz, quoting here, house democratic leadership aideescription drugs and other key initiatives which were not included in the text posted to rules on thursday. at this point, we will need additional time to craft language, and get final agreement with all parties involved. this language was supposed to go to the rules committee on monday. that is now being pushed back, which also means that this -- this vote will also be pushed back. and so, we will see how this all unfolds. there are three criteria that have to happen. first, the progressive democrats are looking for reassurances from those moderate senators that, yes, they are onboard, that they will vote for the language, the text of this much bigger bill, the social spending bill. they are asking for explicit language, a written statement. senator bernie sanders saying that over the weekend. secondly, they want both of these bills to be voted in tandem. that is back on the plate here. that was not the case on thursday when house speaker nancy pelosi called for the vote for the infra
