officials who also confirmed yesterday with kron 4 south africa's i said will be added to that list biden is reversing an order for president former president trump's a final days in office that called for relaxation of the travel restrictions, the decision to reverse the order is not surprising. but it was in addition with that south africa. restriction for travel so that highlights the new administration's concern about mutations in this virus, south africa variant has not been discovered in the u.s. but other variance the uk one has been detected in several states including california as we know. >>biden last week issued an executive order directing federal agencies to require international air travelers to quarantine upon us arrival the order also requires that u.s. bound passengers ages 2 and above get negative coronavirus test results of 3 days before traveling a lot more travel restrictions with a new administration and this adds to that putting the travel ban back in place reporting live at sfo sarah stinson back to you all right, thank you very much sara. >>time now is 5.10 and s

of things i have a whole a whole long list of all the things he wants to do these are this is this is joe biden's to do list and i think if i look at somewhere long enough he's rejoiced that there it is rejoined the paris agreement of climate change is on his day one again one of these executive orders not legislation of course the president when it comes to treaties the president has more wiggle room in the kinds of trees of the united states enters with oversight from the senate but a few years has gone by already and you know leading climate researchers and climate scientists are saying even the goals the paris agreement are trying to achieve is not enough it might it might keep us out of total catastrophe i'm told. really leaving the earth uninhabitable for human life but it's still going to be a very very unpleasant situation and environment no pun intended pun intended. in the best case scenario even if every last word of the paris agreement is stuck to you so it's very much a it's very much a beginning not and one bit of good news is the united states also didn't join the agreement back in

list?— where does the set on president biden's list? thank you for having me. i biden's list? ist? thank you for having me. i think with regards to - biden's list? thank you for having me. i think with regards to the i me. i think with regards to the middle east and iran and the return to the nuclear deal sets very high on the agenda. this issue is connected to iran's nuclear programme but obviously that is a pressing international concern for the united states and for the uk and european states but it is also connected to regional stability, so there is a lot to untangle and unwrap and if the nuclear agreement is restored what needs to happen are a series of follow—on discussions to address regional tensions that continue to drag western countries into the middle east and that poses the biggest challenge. tell into the middle east and that poses the biggest challenge.— the biggest challenge. tell us more about what you _ the biggest challenge. tell us more about what you think _ the biggest challenge. tell us more about what you think the _ the biggest challenge. tell us more

fireworks display, as well as messages and performances from average americans to a list celebrities. president biden addressed the nation from inside the lincoln memorial, telling americans that together we can overcome the challenges facing this country. will we meet the moment like our forebears have? i believe we must. and i believe we will you? the american people are the reason why i've never been more optimistic about america than i am this very day. there isn't anything we can't do if we do it together. we have a team of reporters tonight on reaction to the inauguration, the bay area connections to the new administration and the president's quick moves to reverse course on a number of policy items. we began with our political reporter greg lee on the ceremonies today. also the new administration's call for unity and the first woman ever to become u s vice president. come little davy harrison song we sweat the bay area zone. kamila harris forever extra name in history, becoming the first. female first black american and first south asian american sworn in his vice president. the oath administe

this again is going to be probably in the action list to joe biden. this one and two largest economies of the world. what do you do with china? you can't look soft on china but leave the relations where we are today which is torn because of the tit for tat sanctions over the last three years. >> something a lot in this inbox. we're talking about a lot during this coming week. always good to speak to you, though. thanks so much joining us live there. >> thank you. >> of course join us for extensive live coverage of the biden inauguration this wednesday, january 20th. >>> and another story that we're following here at cnn, immigration reform is high on president-elect biden's list of priorities. he'll take office just as a tense situation is developing in guatemala. on sunday police used batons and tear gas to stop a caravan of thousands of migrants trying to reach the u.s. border. what happened during that clash. >> reporter: a caravan of migrants clashed at the border with honduras over the weekend. a cnn and espanol team witnessed them firing tear ga

list. president biden has no public events on his schedule for this weekend, but he spent the last several days as he got into the job rolling back some of president trump's executive actions that includes re committing the u. s to the paris climate accords, making sure that they're being 100 day paws on some deportations mandating that masks be worn on federal properties and also extending a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures through the end of march. now the president admits he can't do everything he wants by executive action. that's why he's calling on congress to pass it. the new $1.9 trillion stimulus package. lawmakers recently passed a package back in december. the president says that's not enough even though some lawmakers are reluctant over this price tag, the president making his case that relief is needed now, more than ever. covid-19 package that passed in december was the first step. as i said at the time. it's just a down payment. we need more action and we need to move fast. on sunday, the president's economic team is expected to hold a phone call with key lawmakers to

what that means is get the deal now, get your name on the list. bidenoratorium on deportations and what that means is no detention for women, children, and families. a promise to end the requirement that migrants claim asylum in central america opens a legal door to claim asylum here in the u.s. and finally, only those who can prove actual persecution were considered for asylum. biden officials by contrast say they will be considered. >> the reason this is happening right now is because of the perception that our borders are going to be open under the biden administration and in this case, they are direct. >> right now, the biden administration can claim for covid reasons nobody comes in the many democrats and immigration advocates have argued under trump that that was simply an excuse for a facade. we don't know what they're going to say now if people arrive here and what the new administration would handle the caravan crisis. >> dana: thank you for the report. for more on all of this, we have ari fleischer, former white house secretary an end former d

. >> something else on joe biden's list, his relationship with the military alliance nato.p said he thought european numbers were not spending enough. >> at times the relationship was challenging. there is no secret i had difficult discussions with the president on issues like arms-control, u.s. military presence, and someone. on defense spending, president trump was very clear. we need more defense spending by the european allies. that was the same made by president obama will be made the decision back in 2014 to increase defense spending across nato. i expect the same message from president biden. that european allies need to invest more. a persistent message from american presidents over several years. >> let's ivanka to china. after years of frosty relations, beijing congratulated joe biden and set a conciliatory tone. [speaking non-english language] >> this is a spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs. we hope the u.s. can meet us halfway. i believe as long as both sides have sincerity to show wisdom, they can listen to each other, respect facts and manage dif

list. i think what the biden proposal was was more of a wish list they anticipated, in the old-school way, that they bargain down. you gotta understand, and markets should understand, biden has not started his outreach or negotiations with this. his economic advisor will not sit down with people over the weekend. crisis in washington is defined by whether you are working on the weekends. i don't see quite the urgency yet. alix: what's going to get traded out? terry: there's a lot of things i will call tangential. the closer it gets to vaccinations in arms, we gotta create an infrastructure for that, we got a deal with the pressing economic problems similar to the cares act stuff that happened in march. the mark likely -- more likely it is to go. there are other things in this wish list i think that are more change in joel -- tangential. the president wants to start an bipartisan manner but is being pushed by congressional democrats. to do something that is democrat-only, something that may speed the delivery of a larger package, but would probably poison his ability to go bipartisan on much

they want to hold the democrats count but there's also long to do list forjoe biden when he takes overitical director for hillary clinton during her 2016 presidential run and joins us now from oakland california. thank you forjoining us. whenjoe biden takes office he will have to deal with the vaccination roll—out of the pandemic, the pandemic itself, the economic consequences of the pandemic, racial injustice in the pandemic, racial injustice in the country and a lot of anger about that. economic inequality in the country and a lot of anger about that. he now has added to his inbox the fact that the senate is going to be holding a trial to convict donald trump after this impeachment vote. do you thinkjoe biden really wants this in his inbox as well? i do you thinkjoe biden really wants this in his inbox as well?— this in his inbox as well? i think he was honing _ this in his inbox as well? i think he was hoping he _ this in his inbox as well? i think he was hoping he wouldn't - this in his inbox as well? i think he was hoping he wouldn't have this in his inbox as well? i think - he wa

list. >> reporter: the biden-harris administration transitions into power next wednesday. ian cole, nbc bay area news. >> mr. biden began his speech tonight by mentioning the first american who died from the virus. patricia dowd of san jose. >> it's been 343 days since the virus, that has ravaged our nation, tragically claimed its first life. on february the 6th, in 2020, patricia dowd took her last breath at home under the california sun. >> we talked to dowd's daughter tonight and she shared this photograph of her mother. she says the whole family is grieving, still. dowd's daughter also told us that she appreciated hearing the president-elect honor her mother in tonight's address to the country. she was only 57 years old when she died. >>> no sporting events but there is a reason to head to the oakland coliseum. mass vaccinations. here is nbc bay area's sheryl herd. >> a lot of work is happening behind the scenes to make the oakland coliseum the next mass-vaccination site in the bay area. >> this is being done in southern california, at dodger stadium and elsewhere. and

but this new administration has an unprecedented to-do list, which biden laid out in his inaugural addresse virus, climate change, growing inequality, racism, america's global standing, and an attack on truth and democracy. it's like the new four horsemen of the apocalypse, with two bonus horses! you've got war, famine, pestilence, death, plus global the horse in lour uncle carl. peilence because the pandemic i thanver. yesterday, the u.s. ed deaths ever, and right now, americans are dying faster of covid-19 than our soldiers did in world war ii. only to win that conflict, we had to get the fascists out of the german capital. so today, president biden signed ten executive orders to get his pandemic plan rolling, including a requirement for masks while traveling, studies and trials of covid-19 treatments, and more public data on cases and vaccinations. it's a new strategy the white house is calling "operation: well, duh!" one executive order is aimed at making it safer to go to work, by directing osha to publish worker safety guidelines. that means masks in break rooms, hand sanitizer at th

to shield itself from the will welcome to d w is a relationship with the europe pion joe biden's foreign policy list i think it is in part because biden has witnessed along with the rest of us the fragility of the experiment in liberal democracy that americans and europeans have been engaging in for the last couple of 100 years and i think his top priority is to get america's house in order europe's house in order and to rebuild solidarity across the atlantic and let's be honest 95 percent of europeans 55 percent of americans can't wait for january 20th they're all again be a person of integrity in the white house and he is an atlanticist i worked in the obama white house i was constantly on a plane with joe biden to ukraine to the balkans to the nordics he cares deeply about europe let's hear from joe biden's nominee for secretary of state and he blinken speaking in november but how joe biden's foreign policy is going to look now we have to proceed with equal measures of humility and confidence humility because as the president said we can't solve all the world's problems alone we need to be workin

website the skate past a lot of coverage on the group that facebook's also drops patrons against joe biden listing problems with content that is hateful thoughts name go up thing again what was being said that which led to the fun. again we didn't see anything that was threatening or obscene we had a very strict policy you know most conservative news organizations they kind of push the line of what you can post and they don't take facebook's guidelines very seriously i do this group we're small organization we're doing well but we're not big funded media and we need to depend on these social media companies to make money so cameron and i try our best to follow all of facebook's rules we've barely ever gotten any strikes on our pages and this was pretty much our 1st warning and we were taken down i can't tell you anything of violated the rules i just there was nothing in my opinion there was nothing that we did that was wrong i think it's just because the social media companies want to defend joe biden they're so terrified about what happened happened in the capital and they're using that as cover

virtual celebration featuring messages and performances from average americans to a list celebrities. president biden also addressed the nation from inside the lincoln memorial, telling people that together we can overcome the challenges the serious challenges that are facing our country. our coverage begins tonight with ktvu jana katsuyama on the executive actions the president signed as centers he got to the white house, jenna. frank president, biden said that he didn't want to waste any time. so he sat down, got to work trying to tackle all of the crisis that the nation's face. president biden sat down in the oval office hours after his inauguration and got straight to work. the president signed 15 executive orders and two actions, signaling the day one change in u. s policy. addressing the covid pandemic, the president made masks mandatory on federal property, rejoined the world health organization and created a national covid-19 coordinator. other actions included reentering the paris climate accord and halting the construction of the keystone xl pipeline. the president. so ordered an end to fun

the extensive list of president biden's plans as congress takes on another impeachment trial, and we've got some wet weather to talk about. we had some today. we're getting a breakurns on after thl ha want to save hundreds on your wireless bill? with xfinity mobile you can. how about saving hundreds on the new samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g? you can do that too. all on the most reliable network. sure thing! and with fast nationwide 5g included at no extra cost. we've got you covered. so join the carrier rated #1 in customer satisfaction. and get a new samsung galaxy starting at $17 a month. learn more at xfinitymobile.com or visit your local xfinity store today. immigration, just one of the several issues on the agenda. fox news mark meredith has the latest now from washington. fore new president. biden administration expected to take action on a number of agenda items, including the environment, the economy and immigration. we're still waiting to see what that may mean for the president's pick to lead the department of homeland security, al under my or kisses nomination has basically been

that needs to change a long list of biden errors administration things to change. that should be near the top. natasha: and they will be directing the domestic terrorism threats and more curiously come another one is going to be how they reestablish that distance to the white house affinity and faith in the fbi because while they are serving the president of the has traditionally been the separation between the president and the justice department. so wonder, if you think that chris ray, should carry on because it might show a level of continuity. and distance between the white house and fbi. or if you think there should be too much baggage at this point. frank: i do have thoughts on this. since i have a law degree you'll hear me say it depends. here we go. i'm a firm believer giving the fbi neutral and objective in a political. very hundred fbi director fired recently, jim comey for political reasons by president trump . jim, handed him things to fire him for . but here we are. if you director continued term for a reason for it if he or she is supposed to straddle

republican vote he can get it's not just the outgoing president who's got is less to have also got joe biden's list we could call it the un do list tell us how much of a rolling back of the trump era that represents. well there's a huge ruling back in the way that the trump. administration carried out ordinary business starting in a few hours time later today there will be a press briefing and we're told the daily press briefing will return so we'll get an idea of what the president is thinking on numerous issues but not through twitter it will come from the podium of the the white house pressure and yeah joe biden is going to start with a series of executive orders we knew some of them but just to recap he is going to sign an executive order which reverses the decision to pull the united states out of the potus climate accord he is going to sign an executive order which will revoke the permissions for the keystone pipeline he is going to sign an executive order that will say that if you're on federal property then you have to wear a mask it will also cover interstate travel he will sign an executi

what is on joe biden's priority list right now, heidi? >> well, i think clearly the pandemic.r the economy without figuring out the pandemic. i also think he's looking long-term to income inequality, how do you fix that? he's looking at climate, he's looking at securing a better future globally for our country by working more cooperatetively with our allies. >> tara, president trump quite pointedly was not in attendance today. and now that he's no longer in the white house, no longer on twitter, as a former republican, how do you think his power over the republican party changes and how are the political lines going to be redrawn for senate impeachment trials? >> so i think that it was appropriate for the moment that we're in that donald trump was not there today. his absence was notable, but appropriate, given the trail of destruction he's left in his wake. his hold on the republican party seems to be rather strong, despite his role in a violent insurrection. we saw how many republicans still voted to contest the election, the free and fair results of the election of joe bide

list. the incoming biden and menstruation quickly stepped on this idea, press secretary sing with the pandemicous variants emerge around the world this is not the time to be lifting restrictions on international travel. she goes on to say on the advice of our medical teams the administration does not intend to live these restrictions on january 20 sixth and will public mental health -- public health measures to further mitigate the spread of covid-19. this comes as the cdc said that starting on the 20 sixth all incoming passengers to the united states will be required to show a negative coronavirus test before entering. if it looks like the proclamation is ever actually going to go into effect lifting the travel restrictions. as for incoming travelers having to present a negative covid-19 tests countries around the world or been doing this since the start of the pandemic. the united states starting this just now, a little late to the game but better late than never. ainsley: we are just 24 hours from inauguration day, president-elect joe biden is expected to repeal one of donald trump's first

coronavirus pandemic climate change the run nuclear deal trade disputes the list is long joe biden has also made it clear that he wants to form united front to counter china he's a. urged iraq to delay a planned investment deal with beijing but the you push to hat and decision the european lawmakers like to call for believe sent washington the wrong message isn't really war important to demonstrate so-called european strategic autonomy towards washington but demonstrating. that they have to reckon with a reinvigorated transatlantic partnership i think that's just the wrong priorities geopolitically the new e.u. china investment agreement is facing a lot of criticism but after 4 years of donald trump in the white house many europeans believe it's time for the you to put its own interests 1st even if the u.s. doesn't like it. and last week's storming of the you asked capitol served as a reminder for you leaders that a deeply divided u.s. will continue to look inward even with a democrat in the white house it can no longer be taking for granted as a benefactor and protector and that's why

when you talk about the economy, it's like the fourth or fifth thing on joe biden's list. crats are much more concerned about themselves. >> first of all, i've never heard president-elect biden say that, i've heard him say the contrary. he has not weighed in on the impeachment. he said it's the duty, it's the duty of congress which the house did. now goes to the senate, obviously. it's the senate majority leader that decided to wait until after donald trump was out of office and going to the constitution, not very clear, he will be a private citizen at the end of next week. can we impeach a private citizen. joe biden has made it very clear about getting people back to work at getting our kids some of my kids are homeschooling online, getting them back to school. quite frankly, it doesn't help him and his administration if this plays up for a long time. it's a distraction, not just to him and his agenda, but the senators, republicans and democrats need to help work together in a bipartisan manner, to help america get back. >> again, that is certainly secondary to impeachment

remarks came on the senate's first day back in session lawmakers have a long to do list, including confirmation hearings for biden'sinet picks and the looming impeachment trial of president trump. some writers of the capitol hill riot may be put on the no fly list tsa officials are reviewing hundreds of names in assessing whether those people pose a further threat. some may only result in increased screening, but it's possible. others could be barred from last week the fda said it will take a tougher stance on passengers who harass crew members or other passengers on flights. police have arrested a woman accused of stealing house speaker nancy pelosi's laptop during the capitol riot, 22 year-old riley june williams was arrested in her home state of pennsylvania on monday. authorities say williams was seen on video taking part in the capitol siege. the fbi is investigating claims that she stole pelosi's laptop in order to sell it to russian intelligence. one of his final official acts president trump issued presidential commendations to the operation warp speed team. he credited them with getting a covid-19 vaccine

list? >> i remember biden 30 years ago destroying the second african-american nominee to the supreme court clarence thomas. in five occasions he called the president of the united states a racist, that call for unity has to be masked by deeds, maybe he should make a call to jim comey -- don't say the republican party should be burned down or maybe he should call stan mcchrystal and don't compare him directly to his supporters to al qaeda, one by eugene robinson that suggests republicans mostly white needed to be deprogrammed, you ran another one by max booth saying fox news should be deep platform, let's not do that here at he can make another call to mark zuckerberg and say don't you guys just to stop the monopolies, he's not going to do that but what is going to happen is a donald trump is a ghost now, he is gone, he can't even tweet and now rasmussen says he is 51% leaves office with popularity because they are overdoing it and they're stomping on a ghost and now they are going after the supporters and we've got a new bogeyman, white supremacist under every bed in america and people are

maria: yeah, one trick was to release play list jon hilsenrath, actually quite play list biden-harrishought well you know what this is genius everybody loves music could get into this listening to songs i thought i like this song i like that song i thought it was a simple gesture but effective jon. jon: i haven't looked at it hopefully they have ramÓns on there, maria. >> [laughter] > i -- i hope the rest of the world sees what is happening right now as we speak that the united states of america can handle its business has been a very tumultuous few months but we are going through a peaceful transfer of power, today. we've been through trauma but we can handle our business and i hope the rest of the world understands that, sees it happening on institutions, have held up to a maria: that's a good point because the rest of the world has been watching us fight in the hate increasing so we hope this sends a message. thank you to you both for being here. david mc-- dagen mcdowell and john, thank you and thank you everyone for joining us as we watch the transition of power today at noon whe

and as we move forward from the trumpet ministration to the biden administration an easing of the g.c.c. book aides is very much on the wish list of not just the biden them coming by the ministration also the trunk team as well how do you think this is going to impact regional dynamics as we move forward. well i think the hope is that i mean i think the major concern was that the what the what saudi arabia and the emirates bihari in egypt were doing to qatar was really counterproductive for their own interests and for u.s. interests and for still that stability in the region that. they were in a sense pushing doha closer to attack iran when most in the region were concerned about what tehran is doing so it was seen as very counterproductive and what this could potentially do would be clean to clean the slate and to allow that by the administration to really start a new in the region with countries in the g.c.c. working more closely together and not is not pushing each other dividing each other and pushing pushing each other towards towards iran so that's that's the hope ok hillary mann leverett joining us from mclean in virgini

a long list of issues is waiting biden's attention. >> we should work first boosting. second, combatting covid-19. third, tackling climate change. fourth rebuilding and fifth joining forces on security and peace. >> over the coming months all eyes will be on the u.s. administration one that will have a palpable change. there are concerns that joe biden could full into stale patterns such as president xi and vladimir putin. >> talk about some of president biden's immediate. >> he will be signing executive order tackling, climate change, immigration and economic aid for millions of americans. one of these will be extending a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions. that was brought in at the beginning of the pandemic but on the verge of expiring. another order will be extending a pause of repayment of federal student debt until the end of seember, which was due to expire at the end of this month. and the speed with which he is getting to these issues shows the dire straits that millions of americans have found themselves in as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic

you can tell that what people care most about is at the top of their to-do list and what are at the top of joe biden'sist are to call things. opening the borders and crushing our country's economic sector. that's what he's doing. first he signed an executive order revoking the promise of a keystone pipeline. no matter how you feel about fossil fuel, whether you drive a car or use the hospital, you may be dumb i want to think about how you use fossil fuels. there is no getting around economic effect of this decision. millions of americans don't have jobs right now. joe biden has put another 11,000 people out of work in this country just like that. but he wasn't done. biden also instructed his security to a halt deportation of illegal aliens. when we say illegal aliens, by the way, pretty sure we won't be allowed to say illegal aliens because it's hate speech. but when we say illegal aliens, we mean millions of illegal aliens, not just the countless undocumented. this doesn't apply simply to them. biden's order also includes criminals. other people who are dangerous to you and me. so the message is clea

us david will she is from the transatlantic think tank german marshall fund and she says joe biden will list stall a new version of global leadership for america but he will also think about policy in terms of how it affects the american middle class. one headline that we are seeing in the newspapers reads inauguration triumphed over insurrection referring to the worries that we could see a repeat of the extremist violence that gripped the capital just 2 weeks before the inauguration let me get a quick reaction from all of you about what was uppermost in your minds as you watched the inauguration matthew. well it felt to me like a restoration of american norms to be honest so you see biden there with former presidents clinton obama and george w. bush sitting behind him as well as many republicans including former vice president now mike pence it felt to me like the entire ceremony was a important step towards reconciliation towards normalization of american democratic life so i would agree with matthew and i think it was also a big contrast the 2 speeches what we heard from president trump i

biden-harris administration is committed to codifying roe v. wade and appointing judges that respect foundational president like roe. that prompted a slew of reactions. the susan b. anthony listeting president biden and vice president harris released a statement on the 48th anniversary of roe v. wade absurd like calling it foundational. wrong. what's truly foundation is a right to life of every american. as stated in the declaration of independence. mr. biden and house speaker nancy pelosi tout their catholic faith and the catholic vote was evenly split in 2020. pelosi telling hillary clinton that catholics who voted for mr. trump sold out democracy. >> then you take the abortion issue. many of these people are very good people. that's just their point of view. but they are willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue. >> shannon: tonight the catholic archbishop of her hometown, san francisco, putting on a scathing statement declaring her comments on abortion in direct contradiction to fundamental catholic teaching.
