we're looking for right now, as you get into the groups that have a much, much larger proportion of the population of the unitedtes, that would hopefully be at a time when you get much more higher numbers of vaccines available and as we get out of february into march and april, you're going to see a major escalation of the number of doses that will be available. so i think we're going to be able to accommodate them. when you get into a group where the demand within the group exceeds the supply, that's when you have to be very organized in how you roll that out so that you don't have people expecting that they're going to show up and get vaccinated and you run out of vaccine or you have inordinate lines and people waiting. if it's done in a. >> od way so that people can get a good prediction of when their dose would be available, that's what we're striving for. >> and what about the problem of vaccine hesitancy or resistance. there are folks that just don't want to take that shot. other countries have got a pretty aggressive program to deal with that problem. what about here? are you and your colleagues thinking

much. to the united states now where donald trump has been acquitted of inciting last month's attack on the u.s. capitol as expected the vote in the american senate fell short of the 2 thirds majority needed to convict the former president however 7 republicans voted to side with the democrats making it the most bipartisan impeachment verdict in american history. smiles all round donald trump the legal team revel in their client's acquittal we won guilty. it was always going to be an uphill battle for democrats they needed to convince at least 17 republican senators to cross the aisle. in the end though only 7 republicans voted to convict giving former president donald trump his 2nd acquittal in. 57 days for ease 3 the day's proceedings was time for both sides to make their closing arguments hoping to swayed any last minute votes to believe based on the evidence you have seen that mr trump actually wanted and indeed willfully incited an armed insurrection to overthrow the u.s. government would be absurd democrats pushed back saying the senate could stop violence from happening again the col

portion of the population or the person and authoritarianism exists as much on the left as it does on the right currently in the united states it's much more conspicuous on the right but. adar know who is the the person in the 1950 s. of wrote about fascism and authoritarianism and he made up the fascism scale that he delivered 250000. college students i think but he found as much much tendency for this kind of splitting and righteous grievance on the left as he did on the right so your your point is very well taken and we see it all over in the u.s. right now everybody's outraged now i'm a big admirer of james hillman as i'm sure you know writes here. in one of his lectures well before a double trump rose to prominence he was comparing the american collective psyche as you're a movie character forrest gump was in the sand and they. he says associated believing in his own goodness. i think sarasate causing a lot of bloodshed there around the world without being cognizant about that i think generally speaking that's the mentality of the political class that. ruled america before trying to despise him so much i'm not tr

that they have bite and at the helm now the trump years were a tough lesson about relying too much on the united states to think europe has moved on in a meaningful way that will have an impact on biden's ability to cooperate with the european union. yeah well you know there was a lot of talk today at the munich security conference and we shall see of europe if europe really delivers if they really pay their fair share for example when it came comes to nato and if they really come together and we saw what we saw lately for example regarding the cole with 19 policies weren't so promising from the merican perspective. let's pull in washington d.c. thank you so much. germany is marking a year since 9 people were killed in a racist attack that shocked the country the victims were gunned down in the western city of high now by a 43 year old german man who later turned the gun on himself now after a year long investigation relatives of the victims say they still have more questions than answers. the bells of one else churches ringing out and remembrance of the 9 that lost their lives but for friends a

going to be really cold in some my goodness this going to be one of the coldest in years across much of the united states that good old polar vortex really working its way down now and just beginning to kick in so as we head through the week, we'll watch these temperatures plummet maybe record lows. i think. >>and record low high temperatures across much of the u.s. right now very cold out there by tomorrow that cold air starts to get grip across much the u.s. 32 degrees for the high in norman 48 in dallas, then you get to the north 14 degrees for a high in chicago 15 in kansas city 5 minneapolis mine on north dakota -2 degrees -2 in helena there parts of the u.s. believe lee cold temperatures in that is going to continue to drop throughout the week and bring unusually cold weather all the way down and southern parts of the u.s. outside around the bay area we've got to change our weather pattern now the clouds begin to move in today right at the average ironically in san francisco after above normal weekend 59 degrees 60 in oakland, 61 for high in san jose 63 in lemore for high 64 in concord and 6

>>and there have been hundreds of cold temperatures broken around much of the united states, here's the very latest right now these temperatures you've got 18 degrees in kansas city still below freezing in dallas in fact they're setting records now for continuous days of freezing haven't gotten above freezing for the last 3 at least and that's still going so this what we can expect to see well as we take you through time here by tomorrow morning you're talking about 12 degrees to start your day in dallas about one in norman about 9 in wichita as we take the time that cold air is going to start to finally shift a little further the east so you're still below freezing at 30 degrees even friday afternoons they may have 5 days in a below freezing temperatures or so and then finally they're going to catch a little bit of a break over the weekend are heating up to 41. as we head in towards saturday and by sunday, maybe if you're lucky 58 degrees but this has been some kind of cold snap across the united states. so hopefully this thing comes to a close in because it's been deadly blame dangero

revolution one thing that might be surprising to many is their stimulus spending in the united states was actually much bigger than it was in europe if you look at deficit spending by the u.s. government it was nearly twice as much as europe which is very interesting because the e.u. is more progressive on these issues around housing around health care etc when it comes to public spending in general we would intuitively think that it would be the e.u. that would spend more why is the e.u. spending so much less responsible with by comparison will you permit me to challenge the this perspective i would love. to figure opinion has always been more conservative when it comes to public spending in the united states remember the americans have no deficit for the. now richard nixon there on the 15th of august $97.00 to $1.00 famously blew up the burton would system and said ok it's our currency it's your problem that's what he said to the europeans and the started spending as if there's no tomorrow and the 2nd phase globalisation you know if you want to financialization the 2nd post-war phase after the 1970 s

united states but again these are not unique to the united states there are the issues of intellectual property theft human rights abuses and so much more that the united states feels can best be addressed with partners and allies or and there's also the issue of iran the return to wrong euclidian will do expect. the president biden to say on that issue. well already we've seen an important 1st step with respect to that that the biden administration has made clear that the only path forward with iran and terms of a diplomatic discussion is going to be with the partners and allies of particular those european partners and allies what we've heard is that the number one desire is to return to that 2015 deal but the problem is in the last 4 years under the trumpet ministration the biden administration says that it has seen iran not in compliance with that agreement so 2 what they're saying is they need to see that compliance in order to return to discussions what does that mean that means that they're not going to lift those heavy handed sanctions from the trumpet ministration until they see that compliance the problem in all of this i

it is cold outside listen it's here it's winter here in the united states or in much of the united states and it's nose but it's not supposed to snow quite like this and this is not a winter that we have seen in much of america in many many years listen it's all fun and games in the snow until it starts taking lives and still starts to become an emergency and that's exactly what it's become in the south and midwest of the u.s. particularly the state of texas which has been hit particularly hard there were searing temperatures negative 3 degrees celsius in dallas negative 9 degrees in lubbock texas. we're seeing temperatures negative 10 degrees in oklahoma the state of oklahoma but in texas there are millions of people that were that were are without power many of the water lines have broken and people are being asked to boil their water. people there are shortages of basic things such as groceries and gas in many parts of the state of texas as well they are now going into their 4th day of freezing temperatures and breaking all sorts of records down there and that storm has been causing al

trump trump wanted them to do they did nothing for the deal they violated the deal just as much as the united states pretty words are a useless when when the united states prevents iranians from importing math masks importing ventilators importing caskets importing back maxine's and or or even importing their machines they need to produce their own back scenes this is this is a regime that has no moral boundaries and the europeans are just there in iran itself arielle itself how much of an urgency is terror to actually get to dispute resolved while the iranians want to the problem to be solved but there's not a dispute the iranians know that the iranian government. did what it had to do it signed an agreement with the united states and the p 5 plus one the iranians gave concessions now and and biden was a part of that administration now biden is behaving like a godfather he wants to gain new concessions and that's not going to work because the iranians know barrie well that if you start appeasing the the americans they will only demand more and more and that is a very dangerous slippery slope
