convince people that any other way will only lead to how it should go and show your amid all the chaos the labor party and liberal democrats managed to conduct leadership races we surveyed the field and our experts test there is out should be said they were both odds on favorite remember the old rule governments lose elections oppositions they win them so if johnson is a disaster the question is is kier starmer the man who could replace him if johnson is excessive doesn't matter what his stomach does because johnson is going to be in power for 10 years so the question is can he actually nail johnson down so like a year ago everybody was saying we've already discussed a this labor party would only vote for a cotton type figure be next time it would have to be a woman so whenever kids stars name came up it's not chance it will be a woman he must want. instead he's running away with it they see in him a way to be credible or forests to figure who might be the leader lee figure to lead them towards some kind of recovery and that's why he's doing much better i suspect than any political commentator would have predicted a year a

democrats managed in a big power play to remove biden's progressive climate program that's a battle inside the democratic party is very rather similar to what we just saw and britain. where the blairite right wing labor party or the mantra labor party managed undermine the korban campaign in a really vicious matter very powerful $800.00 page deterrent study of how they did it which is being mostly pressed in the british press area or which showed to means that they went to try to undermine corbin's effort to develop a labor already that would be responsive to the needs of its constituents which artist story labor party with policies that actually had very high approval among the government the right way for the labor party for the mentor they were 40 couldn't stand that they'd rather lose the election than lose control of the party were saying something similar to that in the conflict within the democratic party today and what it means is the progressive popular base want to work harder more energetically more commitment case by who wins the election to ensure that they go back to the impressive programs that they had announced and not be forced to abandon them by the donor oriented clintonite conser

but biden also has to deal with progressives and the bernie sanders wing of the democratic party and they are very focused on issues of inquestiequality, of labornd working class americans. i think by biden signaling to those people he's focused on that too it will help him as he moves some of the people along and gets the backing in the house for some of his economic pol policies as well. >> good point. one of the challenges the country is facing right now, and the biden team is up against right is just congress. let's not call it a stimulus package anymore. it's relief and aid, which is what the country needs. you talk to small businesses, people standing in those food lines, this is relief that they need, they're begging for from congress. they all say, both of you can answer this. that congress needs to do something to help the country get back on its feet, help people stay in their homes, extend unemployment benefits but they cannot get to yes, would you venture to guess if they ever will? >> it's a great question. i think some of the candidates we're seeing on biden economic team are meant to be the sort of people that can reach across th

labor, the liberal democrats, that the 2 main opposition parties here in the u.k. they've chosen to abstain, which is a, an interesting choice. and it really does put all the attention on the ruling conservatives and on the difficulties that boris johnson, the prime minister, has. with those backbench rebels who are really quite concerns, in fact, very concerned about the economic impact of the tea is on the lockdowns and the national lockdown that we're currently in. as, a result of the pandemic here in the u.k., the impacts are being felt up and down the country, but particularly on the high street way on how to treat perhaps one of the most, famous shopping streets in the u.k., perhaps even in europe. but the effect has been felt profoundly in the last 24 hours with news from arcadia, a group which includes such brand names as top shop and top man. and miss selfridge, that they are going into administration that puts around 13000 jobs at risk. and the news today that debit arms, the building behind me still behind me is going into liquidation. that's even more us and that's putting 12000 jobs. a profound risk. i mean, there's

party to vote in favor for him that said, is facing great difficulty. labor on the liberal democrats have decided that they can't support the government in this. they're going to abstain and not vote tonight . and that puts all the emphasis on the conservative party on the difficulty, boris johnson has, is over m.p.'s on his backbenchers, who really essentially believe that the tears system that is going to be introduced after we finish the national lockdown that we currently in tomorrow. when this test system comes in, the m.p.'s are concerned about the economic impact of that they're concerned about the fairness of that tiered system that it doesn't quite distinguish properly between areas of low infection rates and areas of higher infection rates. and that also concerns about the way about the effectiveness of it's about whether it will actually succeed eventually in bringing down the level of infection. it will pass. he has enough votes in parliament to make it past, but it's going to be an uncomfortable afternoon for the prime minister boris johnson. and for his government won't quite send a lot of the tension it want to seems as regards in the economic supports. and

it's a labor of love, it's a noble service, and that's what we're all about. ♪ >> tucker: all of a sudden, you're hearing democrats from the partyience by the way, the governor of the biggest state, demanded we distributed the coronavirus vaccine on the basis of skin color. that's not science, of course, and something beneath science but they are saying. one professor, called global health law, explained this way. "having a racial preference for a covid-19 vaccine is not only ethically permissible but i think it's an ethical imperative." okay, one problem with the plan. all americans of all skin colors don't want to the vaccine regardless of what democrats in california or washington, d.c., tell them they should want. >> the covid vaccine can't come soon enough but they're coming and then there is the hurdle of convincing americans they'll be safe to take a period of many are expressing hesitancy and some black and latino communities. >> not just a small town problem, is nationwide. a study conducted in september exploring the issue of the communities found just 14% of black people and other 34% of latinos trust vaccine will be

democratic party. >> and i think that's the real point. i think clearly we've seen a lot of diversity and what has been announced so far. but the top tier positions, we still have justice, laboreducation, defense, all of these positions that have not been filled, that's where the challenge is. i saluted on this show and national action network what has been done so far with the communications staff and others. clearly we're not referring to them as tokens. those are very important people with long backgrounds. but we don't want to come to the party at 10:00 and have an after-dinner drink. we want to be at the table for the meal and the real first tier meal is those positions. let me go to this, omarosa. president trump just tweeted out that his personal lawyer rudy giuliani has tested positive for coronavirus, and he's not even the first member of the president's legal team to get the virus, including the president. as two people who have worked closely with trump in the past, how is it possible that his inner circle has turned into a superspreader event, his own inner circle? and he still will not make a priority out of dealing with this pandemic? he's still running around t
