east coast on canal santa maria welcome to al-jazeera will continue with the story now with kimberly how could i want house correspondent kelly before we go into more about how president biden will try to deal with this one in texas and what we do and don't know about the actual shooting in colorado. right as you point out the latest shooting in less than a week this time 10 people dead including a 1st responder it happened at a community grocery store in the area of boulder colorado and the police there are saying that they have called in the help of the federal f.b.i. as well as other agencies to try and determine what the motive for this shooting was we do know that there is a 21 year old suspect in custody but again the police and law enforcement being very tight lipped with respect to why they think this occurred only stating that it happened as people will going about their daily activities buying things like staples like milk and cheese and eggs when their lives were cut short so you heard there the u.s. president acting as the consoler in chief for a nation that is morning an

help in washington kimberly take us through well i guess when you look at all the issues here what's the overriding thing for anthony blinken and what it will do and how it will help the relations with nato. i think building on the points made by she had her time see what we're seeing here is a new administration saying essentially the same things as the trumpet ministration just saying it in a softer tone the policies for the most part have not changed what we heard from antony blinken was very similar to donald trump in terms of pressing the nato members to live up to the wales commitment that is to give 2 percent of their g.d.p. for shared defense costs we also heard that there is going to be this assertiveness towards china now in terms of the goals they were made fundamentally the same but what we're hearing from and to the blinken is a decidedly softer tone with respect to china particularly since the united states came out swinging just 5 days ago in alaska where there were very strong words pointed towards china with respect to human rights with respect to military assertiven

good morning to you, kimberly. what are the political implications of georgia's new voting law?and legal implications as you laid out. this comes after, of course, historic turnout in georgia where a large number of people voted and that state flipped blue in the presidential race as we all know, in addition to its two senate races. we are seeing all of these laws being implemented after, of course, the election officials pushed back on donald trump's claim that there was fraud in that election. yet they used that same basis of the confusion or lack of confidence on the part of voters and pushing for laws that roll back voting access rather than expanding it the way we saw it last year. it's a solution in search of a problem. as you point out, this really critical supreme court case is going to have a big impact on it. the way things used to work in places like georgia, these sort of laws needed preclearance from the department of justice and that law was struck down by the supreme court eight years ago so now the only thing you can do is bring claims under section 2 of the voti

kimberly hellcats at the white house for us kimberly i've just been looking on my screen saki white house press secretary has been speaking as she addressed this issue at all. yes she is getting hammered if you will to use the vernacular in terms of these questions and having some difficulty at the moment coming up with some good answers let's start with some of the news she's been talking about she just mentioned in the last few moments that the state department is broadcasting radio digital ads on facebook instagram down in central america to try and get people to change their minds about coming northward to the united states in other words trying to send the message that the border is not open and discourage them from coming this is a bit of a media effort to try and counter the message that's being sent by human smugglers that have since joe biden has been elected said the exact opposite that the border is open that people should come so this is just been announced in the last few moments and also in the last hour we understand as part of that effort there by joe biden who says that h

kimberly hid during the shooting. kimberly, thank you so much for joining us and i am so sorry it's under these circumstances. can -- can you, first of all, just -- just talk about what ni nikki was like? >> she was a very fun-loving person. that's one of the things that we really just enjoyed about her. doesn't matter what part of the store you worked in or what you were doing, that day. she always found a way to come find you. and talk to you. and make you feel like you're just better for even being around. >> i heard she'd often like check on the folks untiin the pharmacy. because i know you all work in really long shifts and a lot of shifts, in these days. >> absolutely. since we started giving covid vaccines, we've been working pretty hard. and it's really nice to see people outside of the store, you know, come and connect with you. and even like i say, just come by and tell you a joke. give you a high-five. those kinds of things really is what made working at that king soopers like a family. >> yeah. i think i s

returned to moscow after receiving treatment in germany as speech are white house correspondent kimberly hockett committee the 1st sanctions by the biden administrator against russia what more details do we know. or standing by for a press briefing by the white house press secretary we're really hope to learn more about these actions what we can tell you so far from a background briefing with reporters is that this will include 14 businesses and one entity as well as 7 senior members of the russian government so we're still expecting to get more details on those specific individuals but what i can tell you is that the united states consulted closely with its european union allies to try and kind of send a message to russia on the heels of the european union doing its own set of sanctions but this is just the beginning because not only are these sanctions in response to the intentional poisoning the u.s. intelligence say of alexina volley the russian opposition leader and his subsequent jailing but also the united states is interested in another action by russia and that is the effect ing

healthcare who was listening to it with us at the white house kimberly there the state department very much echoing the words that we heard a little earlier from the white house when it comes to attacks to saudi arabia by the who these are saying anyone who partakes and that they're too becoming too common and anyone who partakes and that is not serious about any peace deal what did you make of his comments. well this certainly is a coordinated statement you're right they almost para one another in terms of the statement coming from jen psaki the white house press secretary a little time ago and and now from the white or rather the state department spokesperson that price this is certainly something that the white house is trying to underscore and so they have coordinated it carefully the fact that they say they are alarmed by the frequency of the attacks they find these and acceptable but also the underscoring of the commitment with saudi arabia one that many people have challenge in light of the fact that on the campaign trail the. u.s. president vowed to isolate saudi arabia particu

let's speak to a white house correspondent kimberly have kit i mean kimberly effects a nation is going well in the united states but these easing of restrictions you know planned by texas and mississippi are they based on the decrease in the number of infections or what exactly are they based on. yes they are based on a decrease in the number of infections but critics argue that that is plaque towing not the sharp decline that we were seeing a few weeks earlier the reason that texas and mississippi say they feel confident they can move ahead is that they believe now the nuff people have been vaccinated but also they believe that there are the therapeutics another words the treatments should someone become sick with covert 19 in order to increase the survivability now the argument is that especially in states like mississippi that have lower than average national income in many cases there are large communities of color that don't have in some cases equal access to health care that those therapeutic certain not available to them this really comes down to an issue of political ideology t

let's now speak to our house correspondent kimberly she joins us now and kimberly president joe biden has just been speaking what is his reaction to this new voting lawyer in the state of georgia and the u.s. president leaving the white house called this latest effort an atrocity in nothing but punitive he also released a statement more detailed with his views about the passage of this law in georgia he called it un-american a lot to deny the people the right to vote he called it a blatant attack on the constitution and also in good conscious he also said these are rigid restrictions that are to deny the right of countless voters and will reduce polls across the state including in black and latino neighborhoods so he is now calling on congress * to pass legislation that has already passed in the house of representatives now it is in the senate that he says would make it easier for people to have the ability to vote but that legislation is controversial and in a very divided senate right now it looks unlikely that it would pass so this is something that is being worked on by the white

kimberly thank you for your patience thanks for staying with us but you were talking us through what we could expect from this meeting which is going to be a fairly difficult one is not. difficult and unlikely to resolve a lot of the thorny issues that the united states is heading into this meeting with in terms of agenda items and human rights is really the top of the list but the subsections are numerous the crackdown on democracy in hong kong a big concern of the united states the persecution the attorney meant of chinese weekers weaker muslims and also the rise in aggression towards taiwan these are some of the issues that are expected to be discussed by the national security adviser as well as the secretary of state we know that going into this that the white house has told us this will be a very forthright conversation in order to try and manage what the united states sees as china's problematic behavior carry trade was a key part of course of the breakdown essentially of relations between china and the trumpet ministration how much attention is going to be paid to that in thes

how about this so kimberly the c.d.c. has cautioned against lifting the mask mandates so why are states like texas ignoring this all comes down to politics and political ideology as you mentioned these states are run by republicans and they favor less government in people's lives so when they announced these policies you heard the governors of texas for example saying this will give people the freedom to determine their own destiny and the governor from mississippi saying that this is going to be an end to state imposed rules they really believe in their philosophy is that government should play a secondary role that people should have the ability to do the right to choose whether they want to wear a mask or not now the centers for disease control which is a federal body has looked at all of the united states the say we don't feel like our numbers are in the right place that we can lift any of these restrictions or caution against it but the u.s. constitution has given states very strong rights and so in other words they

agents say they are still working to establish a motive so let's start with kimberly how could our white house correspondent what did joe biden have to say. the u.s. president consoling a grieving nation as more as the loss of yet more americans following a mass shooting the 2nd one in less than a week the u.s. president vowing to see that these individuals did not die in vain. the united states senate hope summer list should immediately pass the 2 house passed bills the close loopholes in the background check system these are bills and receive votes of both republicans and democrats in the house this is not it should not be a partisan issue this is an american issue it will save lives american lives and we have to act we should also been sold weapons in the process this shouldn't be a partisan issue kimberly and yet it is it always is can you expand on that for our international audience as to why it is a partisan issue well there is legislation that has passed to limit the gun ownership in the united states particularly starting with background checks as well as banning some high capac

. >>> joining us is kimberly atkins who is an msnbc contributor.ou and thank you for being up early. let's talk a little bit about what is possible and what is not possible. that bipartisan house bill is called hr-8 a background check measure. joe manchin said, nope, i don't support it and i want to do the version i was working on with senator pat toomey. is there a background sort of measure that can make it through the senate? it's clear it's not going to be this house bill but could they do something? >> if history is any guide, i would say the answer is no. i mean, i think you remember in 2012 when joe biden stood back to president obama who tearfully called for gun control legislation after that horrific shooting at sandy hook that seemed to create a shift in the thought about gun violence for a moment and it really felt like then that could be something different. and it wasn't. they could not get gun control passed then. after the awful shooting in las vegas, if you recall. republicans on the hill, some of them had to figure out what a bump

kimberly, what is your sense of our lawmakers can do?en talked about it in his speech trying to set an example but, you know, some of the rhetoric and the way people speak in the u.s. congress, for example, sometimes raises questions about this. i mean, is there anything that leaders should be doing to try to push back against this as we head into this day here while we grapple with it? >> yes. at the very least, they should realize that words matter and words have consequences. you know? there is some talk among members culture and people aren't free to speak the way they want. well, speaking in a way that demonizes a particular community of people in this country can have horrible consequences in our history is replete with examples of that. and if they are standing up as leaders, they should lead by example not use this sort of language and condemn if forcefully. if ef-used it in the past, they can renounce that and apologize and really try to bring this nation together right now so that we stop seeing these sort of deadly attacks. th

hocket so kimberly the c.d.c. had cautioned against lifting the mask mandate why is texas and mississippi why they are lifting the mandates why they ignore in this a warning by the c.d.c. . it really comes down to the us constitution of the fact that well there is a federal government there are very strong states' rights and even though the c.d.c. or centers for disease control has said that it would like to see these state restrictions stay in place states can essentially ignore it and that's what they're doing is ignoring this guidance now it also has a lot to do with political ideology conservatives in the united states believe that people should have the individual freedom to choose whether they wear a mask or not in contrast to a more liberal mindset that believes that there's a strong role for government in people's lives so that is the crux of what's going on here and the bottom line is there's a lot of concern that this might be premature in terms of lifting these restrictions given the fact that well ther

charlie sykes, kimberly atkins and adrienne elrod, my thanks to the three of you. >>> president biden on his way to washington from wilmington, delaware. he spoke to reporters just a short time ago before boarding air force one. let's take a listen. >> have you made a final decision on how you're going to approach your legislative agenda? >> i have, but i ain't telling you. >> any reaction to what happened in myanmar? >> it's terrible. it's absolutely outrageous. based on the reporting i've gotten, an awful lot of people have been killed, totally unnecessarily. >> senator chris murphy said today that he thinks there's a chance to get 60 votes for a background check proposal. are you prepared to make calls to republicans to try to get that to the finish line? >> of course i am. i'm the only one that's ever gotten it passed. the only gun control ever passed is mine. it's going to happen again. >> mr. president, how close are you to naming a national cyber director? >> close. >> within days, sir? >> close. >> close? >> we've seen republicans -- >> what's going wrong in america? >> well,

hockett so kimberly this seems like it's a done deal. it appears it's a done deal and what we're hearing is that the u.s. president is expected to sign this almost as soon as it is passed he wants to try and have this signed into law before he makes his pitch to the american public on thursday evening talking about the sacrifice americans have made and what is in it for them but you're right this is something that is a done deal given the fact that democrats control congress there's a lot in it for americans 1400 dollars for individual direct payments 300 dollars a week unemployment benefits and also a lot for kovan testing as well as contact tracing but the pushback has been why this is along party lines in other words republicans don't like it is that they say the economy is opening back up now and the time to sort of shower americans with cash if you will has come and gone and the fear is that by sort of adding so much money into the economy that there will be inflation that could actually hurt american so this is controversial as we'

kimberly let me ask you about the filibuster just kidding stay with immigration for a bit longer what's true. what struck me and we're going to talk every time he's in texas of course i'm going to be talking to him more about this shortly but just the way that joe biden to be prepared for this obviously he knew it was going to be the big topic but he had the numbers he was saying you know 70 percent of people they are actually 16 to 17 year olds only one and a half percent of the young children he seemed to be able to i guess hold his line in amongst all the criticism and. yeah and he defended it in the end and what i think people will see is a satisfactory way he's been getting a lot of criticism for. sending some people back and for saying that the border is not open and he said look at i inherited a broken system he did blame his predecessor he also blamed donald trump for not spending the money that was a vailable to sort of address the root causes of this migration in the country is when there were hundreds of millions of able to do that so. this is something that joe biden did try

what did you think when you saw that, kimberly?totally disgusted because like i said, you think about that as compared to the insurrection at the capitol, and it's like she was just knocking on the door. and she's now been charged with the same crimes that some of the people that stormed the capitol were charged with. and that's just absolutely ridiculous. but it's very telling how they've made this woman, park cannon, and stacey abrams and black women of georgia the enemy because we're the ones that came out and voted in huge, huge numbers. and they're sending a message, and i'm just here to let them know it's not going to work because now we have been fueled by, like i said before, we're fueled by our ancestors and we're totally vestinvested in t and we are not going to lose. >> you say you were active in the warnock/ossoff campaigns. how are you planning to fight against this new law? >> we just have to get people fueled up like i said. listen, my great-grandmother, she helped build the bricks that built that red house. we are a

forceful as the united states confronts china over issues of economics security and human rights kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house. well let's not bring in our panel joining us from atlanta georgia is failing wang who is a professor of international affairs a georgia institute of technology and. we have job and jacob who is an associate professor in this apartment of international relations and governance studies that shift now is our university over in beijing and we mock is a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization thanks very much for your time gentlemen thanks for joining us that the failing i'll start with you over in atlanta in a white house press conference following that summit by the quad the u.s. national security advisor noted that each of the 4 leaders presidents had described the meeting as being historic is that how you see it's yes i agree i think it's a historic and not in a sense that this meeting created a quad it is a historic in a sense that the quad arrangement has being upgraded to have the 1st summit meeting of the 4 nations and

some tough questions about exchanges with russia and also with china carol thanks very much indeed kimberly holcomb talking to us from washington d.c. the afghan government and the taliban have reportedly agreed to speed up peace talks russia has been hosting talks in moscow which is taking place less than 2 months before the deadline for american troops to pull out of afghanistan the u.s. russia china and pakistan have urged the warring sides to reach i mean mediate ceasefire shall start for reports. the moscow meeting between members of the afghan government taliban representatives and observers from various countries including the united states and china is one of 3 international conferences on afghanistan to be held before the 1st of may that's the deadline by which all remaining u.s. and nato forces must leave the country the agreement was made last year between donald trump's administration and the taliban but it's reported new u.s. president joe biden has other ideas and may propose an interim power sharing government in kabul which would buy time for more comprehensive peace talks t

there had been such strong negative messages coming from this side of the atlantic for so long and kimberly what is the most pressing issue for the u.s. when it comes to nato. well there's no question that there's an imminent deadline that is hanging over this meeting and that is the may 1st deadline that had been put in place by donald trump the u.s. commander in chief of the former administration of course in terms of pulling out u.s. soldiers from afghanistan now joe biden has said that he's not sure the united states can meet that deadline and so there will be discussions around that what we know is that this is going to be done in consultation with nato member so that's one of the big issues that is being discussed but there's also the rise of china's military its military might that is being discussed of course always a part of the conversation is the concerns about russia's effort to destabilize the west as the secretary of state has been stating and then there are also concerns about turkey of course a nato member but in recent years taking some actions in syria and also the purchas

. >> kimberly moore joins us now, she's a pharmacy tech at king soopers and worked with rikki olds. thank you for joining us. so sorry it under these circumstances. can you first of all, just talk about what rikki was like? >> she was a very fun, loving person. that's one of the things that we really just enjoyed about her. it doesn't matter what part of the store you worked in or what you were doing that day, she was on her way to come find you and talk to you and make you feel like you were just better for even being around. >> i heard she'd often check on the folks in the pharmacy -- >> oh, yeah. >> you worked a lot of long shifts in these days. >> absolutely. since we started giving covid vaccines, we've been working pretty hard and it really nice to see people outside of the store, you know, come and connect with you and even like i said, just come by and tell you a joke, give you a high five those kinds of things really is what made working at that king soopers like a family. >> i said nicky, rikki, of course. can you walk us through -- when you were on duty, when did you real

. >> kimberly atkins from the boston globe. co-host of the hash tag sisters in law podcast. alex thompson is a white house correspondent from politico, and a senior writer from rolen stone. 1400 direct payments, $300 a week in jobless benefits. give me a sense of where democrats land on the wish list compared to where they started. >> they pretty much landed exactly where they started. i mean, this is the $1.9 trillion relief bill that joe biden has been talking about since before inauguration, so democrats held firm. they held together and they were able to push it across the finish line, even without republican party. i think politically, they were banking on the fact that not only is this needed but americans know it's much needed. most americans were not up and watching the voterama, but they did see the main streets from businesses that have gone under and they see their own bottom line. i think that is what democrats are banking on. >> americans know what is at stake. i want to take a listen to what senator schumer said after the bill passed in the senate. >> sure it w

thanks very much indeed that's kimberly holcomb a reuters correspondent in washington d.c. well more now on not upcoming meeting and how china might approach it from katrina you in beijing. looking ahead to the alaskan meeting beijing had noted that the u.s. had been particularly negative about china in the lead up to china's foreign ministry spokesperson said that beijing would use the meeting to make clear all its positions hong kong engine junkie says are on the table for discussion but there will be nor compromise from china when it comes to any issues of sovereignty or security that being said beijing definitely wants to use this meeting to reset ties with washington which have deteriorated in the last few years beijing is reportedly looking to request the rollback of some policies implemented during the trumpet ministration including visa and technology restrictions and possibly the reopening of the houston consulate but at the same time time as officials have made clear in recent days that they don't expect any unrealistic expectations and that not all problems will

forceful as the united states confronts china over issues of economics security and human rights kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house so let's bring in ben to shuttle he is a jump professor of political science on international affairs at temple university in japan and joins us via skype from tokyo but also this quick meeting is the 1st of its kind where a u.s. administration is looking to work with key allies to counterbalance china what message is this meeting of allies sending to beijing do you think well this this quiet meeting in particular city particularly significant for the reason that for the 1st time it is at the leader level up to now all the meetings in the quad i've been had been at lower level so i think it sends signals to beijing that setting sends a signal is a lot of the who are members of the quad are serious about the various initiatives that they have decided to advance they are serious about advancing certain values and they are also equally concerned about what they perceive as being increased their chinese assertiveness over the last few years and this is

enough votes to pass the house of representatives well let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly house in washington d.c. for us now kimberly democratic so cooling this enormous bill transformative republican say it's government run amok which is it. well we may not know 100 percent for some time it all depends how this plays out how american spend the money and how the various towns cities sort of local governments spend their money so the jury is still out on this but what the hope is is that there will be sort of a ripple effect that and micheline will see americans spending money and injecting this into the economy getting the economy going again and that will see the governments in turn that are outside of washington d.c. doing the same order to ensure that the white house press secretary shinseki just saying moments ago that somebody will be appointed to oversee dispensing this money because it's important then the white house knows that it has to be done right in order for this to work it's a big gamble and republicans are on the opposite side in terms of whether they thin

hellcats and kimberly and i have time waiting for him to do this news conference and he devoted a lot of it to the situation at the border into. yes the questions asked by reporters a lot of them focusing on the situation on the southern border the flood of migrants from guatemala honduras through mexico and attempting to enter the united states the u.s. president saying that he's flattered that his policies immigration appear to be welcoming and that he seems to be a nice guy but he says the truth is that's not the reason they're coming he says that he reminded reporters and the world really that this does happen every spring that there is a surge and this is the optimal time to try and make that treacherous track into the u.s. so he sort of just spelled the notion that it was his policies or at least fought back against his critics his conservative critics in the united states that say that the other thing is that he would not commit to the transparency that he has promised with respect to opening up some of those crowded facilities where children are being held saying that he was n

and kimberly this is a significant bit of good news is it not. the white house is certainly heralding this as good news the fact that this will end now allow children to get vaccinated and return to school in time for the start of the school year at the end of the summer so this is being celebrated even as the white house continues to combat vaccine hesitancy while they have made some inroads with communities of color that have been not trusting of authority as well as some medical officials the area where there still is a problem seems to be among conservatives and particularly conservative christians so what we know is that the vice president will be meeting with some faith leaders in order to try and discuss the need to get everyone vaccinated even those who might be hesitant given the fact that there is a need for herd immunity in order for the united states to return to normal and kimberly have are things going more broadly in the united states the worst effects of country in the world in terms of coverts but the president must feel confiden

pittsburgh next week to unveil his plan to rebuild america's infrastructure and bring back jobs kimberly helped get al-jazeera the white house. republicans in the u.s. state of georgia have passed new legislation and same restrictions on voting access following last year's election the new law includes limits on early voting and additional votes or idea requirements for mail in voting it's also gives more parts of the state legislature currently don't win a seat by republicans critics say it's an attempt to make it harder for minorities to cast their ballots joe biden won the states last november where the mayor of atlanta boston's a sense reacted to the bill she's called the measure deeply disappointing divisive and unnecessary saying it's designed to suppress voter turnouts in communities of color and other minority groups it is shameless to change the rules of the game simply because you lost she tweets it's get more now from our just here is rosalynn george and she's in washington d.c. and brings us reaction from the democrats. there saying that doing things such as criminalizing giv

excess existing we need measures expires next weekend and speak to our white house correspondent kimberly how get to the so can he want some of his from that senate session how much progress how they meet well it is inching along but there is still a way to go what's happening right now is that senators are adding their amendments tweaking the bill this is something that's pretty standard but it takes a while so we're seeing a series of votes in fact they call it a vote a rama the latest altering out of this legislation is that when those payments run out those weekly unemployment insurance payments will go from 400 to 300 once this legislation is approved in terms of the money that people will be getting in those checks on a weekly basis so that's one of the changes or modifications another big one is your member of the campaign trail were promised $2000.00 in direct payments that's gone down to $1400.00 and many people say they're not too happy about that but that seems to be with the senate's decided it will be better lowly be for people making $80000.00 annually or less so this is som

the rules based international law international order that is part of the 2030 vision as well so kimberly the short story basically the u.s. is trying to repair what's happened in the last 4 years on the don't trust and say look you can trust us now there's going to be no more surprises coming. yeah absolutely after 4 years of unpredictability the word or phrasing that we've heard not just there from the secretary of state or not just the head of nato but others as well is rules based in other words an international order that has a structure not seen when the united states was headed by commander in chief donald trump and so this is what the biden administration is trying to convey that the transatlantic partnership remains intact that the posture forward for the united states is to work collaboratively when it comes to defense strategy to consult to not work unilaterally with an america 1st agenda so this is the message that seems to be being sent and it appears to be well received as we before we dipped into that press conference there i was listening in and it seemed from the statemen

pittsburgh next week to unveil his plan to rebuild america's infrastructure and bring back jobs kimberly helped get al-jazeera the white house and more now on president biden's position on north korea his comments follow pyongyang firing its 1st basic missiles in a year on thursday and growing tensions with america's regional allies south korea and japan take a listen we're consoling with our allies and partners. and. there will be responses if they choose to escalate. we will respond accordingly. but i'm also prepared. for some form of diplomacy. but it has to be conditioned upon the end result of denuclearization so. that's we're doing right now it's all around us aren't necessary for the now with douglas bondal who's a senior fellow at the cato institute specializing in foreign policy and was also an adviser to president reagan he joins us via skype from springfield in virginia thank you very much mr bondo for being with us so president biden it seems way between pressure and diplomacy when it comes to north korea diplomacy didn't really achieve anything under the trump administration

here in washington now let's talk to candy how could our white house correspondent because kimberly recently the united states had been basically saying that the who tees were the ones who needed to come to the table if there was going to be any effort i guess the u.s. likes the idea of what the saudis are putting forward. there's no question that the united states has always maintained that the only resolution to this situation was a political one and 2 that and it is important to note that this announcement there is a peace initiative that's been pushed forward to try and end this conflict comes just weeks after the united states said it would no longer offer logistical or even intelligence support for the saudi led conflict in yemen so this is just another example of the sharpening of that recalibration that the united states and now with respect to the u.s. saudi relationship on the one hand it says that it does condemn the attacks by the who these towards targets inside saudi arabia it does defend the right of saudi arabia to defend its borders but at the same time it does not in any wa

election and white house correspondent kimberly hellcats is at the white house far as kimberly you watched that interview what did we learn from this abate president biden's priorities and what should we be looking night for in the months and years ahead. well what we've learned is that some of these comments have upset some of those inside russia with regard to the statements made by the u.s. president joe biden made some comments in an interview with the network a.b.c. news here in the united states and he did discuss a number of domestic as well and for as well as foreign policy issues with respect to russia he said that the. leader of russia is in his words a killer that he will have to pay the price was he talking about well we've just had a report that indicates that once again the intelligence in the united states suggesting that russia interfered in the 2020 alexion as it did in the 2016 election this time to try and discredit joe biden's candidacy so the u.s. president saying that he is looking towards making sure that russia is held accountable and also that he believes that when

kimberly is right, it's a long way between now and the next election when the congress people will be up for a vote. so many things will happen between now and then. the economy will be on good terms or it won't. the pandemic will be over or it won't. there will be so many other things by the fall of 2022 to be arguing about. it's not certain that this will be a defining issue by that point. we'll see. lots of things can happen. i think one of the things you have to remember about this bill, it's really a three-part bill in some ways. it's covid relief, money for vaccinations and money for unemployment, then it's economic stimulus. what they're doing is pumping $1.9 trillion more into the economy. it's of course, money that's borrowed from our kids and grandkids, just like trump's tax cuts were in his first term. it's going to jolt the economy than trump's tax cuts. they were spaced out over ten years. this is all basically in the next year or two. it's an interesting result that is going to happen on the economy. does it get overheated, put it in good shape? we don't know. the policy

hockett thank you for being on the news hour kimberly these 4 countries have already been cooperating as we've said on and off for a number of years now what is washington and the biden administration hoping this summit will achieve. well it really comes down to 2 major themes and they both start to see kobe and china. obviously there is still a growing concern about what we're seeing is the disparity when it comes to wealthy nations of poor nations and the veil ability of vaccines and wealthy nations not so much for everyone else and so the united states under increasing pressure to not hold onto a surplus once all americans are vaccinated but instead to make sure that the global nations are also vaccinated so what we expect is coming out of this meeting there may be some sort of announcement potentially on some sort of global vaccine effort even ramping up production in india goals being set of possibly a 1000000000 vaccines by 2022 so we're watching carefully to see if that develops and on the issue of china as you mentioned the timing so significant because of course this meeting

i want to go back to you, kimberly.talks about the trials and tribulations you've had at home and i know a lot of parents across the country echo that sentiment. we've heard that story over and over again. who is not hearing it. is it the teachers, the teachers union? where are you seeing the problems and what do we do about this? >> we need to show californians are not anymore superior human beings and we need our school's open fully 5 days, not just-5, we need every school, no hybrid, hybrid is not good for everyone. we need a platform that is not just zoom. we need in person school. i want my school district to understand unified school district to open fully, this is not fair. mental health and disparity, not just for the parents obviously but for our children and our children should be the ones that come first. benjamin: you say that's not fair. things like food service workers, special education, to be back in person, not the teachers, how do you square that circle? >> you don't. those are the lowest wage staff an

joining me now is msnbc political analyst paul butler and kimberly atkins.- obviously, for being here. jury selection, again, resumes tomorrow. we know so far there are seven members of the jury who have been selected. three white men, one black man, one hispanic man, one multiracial woman, and one white woman. paul, you wrote for a column in the "washington post" the need for the chauvin trial to have black jurors given that the make up of the jury, as we see it now, are you -- what is your view of the jury? are you concerned -- are the concerns you have -- you wrote about in the column, are they being alleviated as the process goes forward? >> they're not. we have a jury now that is one person who identifies as black and five white persons. the jurors are asked questions about black lives matter that, to me, face the concern that honest answers are being used to keep people of color off the jury. so the jurors are asked whether minneapolis cops are more likely to use force against blacks, the factual answer is yes. blacks are 20% of the city's population a

what's the white house correspondent who be covering that hi kimberly. what. so much on joe biden's by immigration i can see gun control is going to be a big issue as well. yes all kinds of domestic as well and foreign policy questions are expected with respect to. immigration there's no question that that is going to be asked of the president given the fact that yesterday he tasked his vice president cobble harris with that issue there are questions about whether she may also be at this press conference to answer some of those questions but there's no doubt here in the united states that many people are scratching their heads wondering how if this is the more humane immigration policy the pictures are certainly not showing that on the southern border with mexico so that is one topic that is certainly going to be under scrutiny but also as well as a number of foreign policy issues there's going to be a question i'm sure about iran and what the effort is with respect to trying to get iran to comply under the j c p a way north korea has of course launched
