this comesjust be the leader of canada, justin trudeau.s been an investigator —— in there has been an investigator __ in __ there has been an investigator —— in —— cancelling that pipeline that will be a blow to the canadian energy industry but what do you make of the fact that the white house is signalling so clearly that the very first leader he will speak to will be a neighbour, canada. it is a sign i think that they want to rebuild relationships it extends to traditional foreign allies. much has been made in seeking to put a lot of those damaged relationships back on track. jen psaki saying today that a first call of a foreign leader will be with justin trudeau later this week. and of course the keystone pipeline has been something of a heart issue. as far as canada is concerned, it may take some smooth talking onjoe biden's part as soon as —— as far as thatis part as soon as —— as far as that is concerned but cancelling it, all part of that green agenda and that is something he has promised to keep front and centre of his legislative

he's also expected to make his 1st official call to a foreign leader canadian prime minister justin trudeau that might prove awkward because 2 of those already said he's disappointed by biden's decision to halt construction of the cross border keystone x.l. pipeline meanwhile the senate is set to confirm biden's nomination for defense secretary lloyd austin a congressional committees back to austin even though the former general hasn't required waiting period since he left the military another committee is going to consider biden's nomination for treasury secretary he's picked janet yellen who served as chairwoman of the federal reserve for 4 years until 2018. now we're going to get more on those nominations from hydro castro in a moment 1st let's go live to mike hanna who's in washington d.c. mike let's talk about those executive orders 1st of all they're specifically geared towards how covert 19 has had an impact on the economy and this is an enormous job isn't it is indeed he's continuing to issue executive orders focusing on contacting the pandemic today is expected to sign a number of

he talked to canadian president trudeau about the keystone pipeline. that is a point of contention with president joe biden because biden revoked the pipeline, canada favors it. with all three leaders they talked about the importance of the covid pandemic. the broader agenda for joe biden which he is trying to get early momentum is the covid-19 pandemic and the related economic recovery. he met with advisers at the white house today. vice president kamala harris was there. they are trying to gear up momentum for the covid relief package, $1.9 trillion to try to get through congress. his economic adviser brian dienst will be talking with 16 senators of both parties, see if they can get a bipartisan package. if not, democrats will try to do it through a special budget procedure with democratic votes only. but critically important for joe biden to get action quickly on covid-19 and the economic recovery. john harwood, cnn, the white house. >> thanks, john, for that. >>> so the chinese foreign ministry recently called trump administration officials, quote,

trudeau will likely include a conversation about the keystone pipeline, the project mr.en is blocking with which former president trump revived. jessica, back to you. >>> another shift in washington is that democrats now have control of the u.s. senate. that means for the first time in a decade democrats control the house, the senate and the white house. newly minted vice president kamala harris made it official, she swore into office three new democratic senators, john ossoff, warnock and alex padilla of california who took harris' california senate seat. the new democratic senators join a 50/50 split between the parties. but democrats have the majority when vice president harris casts the tiebreaking vote. >>> we now have a new landmark and tourist destination in the bay area. the vice president's childhood home. jodi hernandez is in berkeley with the neighborhood story. >> how could you not be proud to see the first african-american, indian woman become the first vice president, a woman first and then a woman of color second is just beyond words. >> reporter: but wils

this was important to justin trudeau. important to canadians. taking canadian energy into the united states. that's dead now. a thousand jobs in canada gone pretty much on the spot. and that really is a salvo to the rest of america's allies. to say, look, while this may not be the america-first doctrine of donald trump, it is certainly a buy-american doctrine and it really shows how little wiggle room the biden administration has in terms of trying to deal with not just its base but domestic politics. having said that, president biden, justin trudeau, have a very warm personal relationship and certainly canada will welcome that return to multilateralism that president biden is promising. wolf? >> thanks a lot, paula newton. thank you very much. >>> meanwhile, the british prime minister boris johnson calls president biden's inauguration a step forward for the united states. the new president also is winning praise for reversing the trump-era decision to pull the u.s. out of the world health organization. cnn's nic robertson is in london for us. n

the call to prime minister justin trudeau.resident biden talked heavily about the keystone xl pipeline which is interesting because justin trudeau, the canadian leader expressed disappointment with the president's order to halt construction of the keystone xl pipeline which begins in canada and runs through the united states. >> it is not always going to be perfect alignment with the united states. we're much more aligned on values, on focus on the work that needs to be done to give opportunities for everyone while we build a better future. i'm very much looking forward to working with president biden. reporter: the president spoke to president lopez obrador in mexico. president biden wanted to get rid of what his administration called draconian immigration policies put in by president trump. if the call with prime minister johnson, a spokesman pressed the president for a new u.s.-uk trade deal. don't leave out china, a problem for the trump administration. we'll see how that turns out for the biden administration. 15 differen

this is a project that the liberal canadian government and prime minister trudeau support, and investment in north american energy, even the obama state department concluded it would not harm the climate. but because canceling it feels like the green thing to do, the new administration killed all these jobs. this was not the day one the american workers deserved. the new administration has also sketched out a proposal for blanket amnesty that would gut enforcement for american laws while creating huge new incentives for people to rush here illegally at the same time. this kind of failed approach will invite another humanitarian crisis on our border and privileged, powerful interests ahead of american workers. and for all the talk about norms within government, last night brought a truly unprecedented move at the national labor relations board. the president fired the board's independent general counsel almost a year before the end of his term. even left-wing activists called the unprecedented move aggressive. it's still early, mr. president. there is still plenty of time for president bid

looking for to hearing from you all but 1st i want to go back to the september 2017 when justin trudeau prime minister of canada was very open about some of the issues with indigenous communities in canada he's a remind of what he said there are today children living on reserve in canada who cannot safely drink bay then or even play in the water that comes out of their towns. there are indigenous care parents in canada who say goodnight to their children and have to cross their fingers in the hopes that their kids won't run away or take their own lives in the night. tanya that was very candid standing right down front of the united nations general assembly who 3 years ago. says an awareness is a knowledge about suicides amongst indigenous and service nation communities in canada and where has that awareness taken captive what's changed what's different. so. how more people i think are talking about what's happening in our communities from coast to coast to coast with our use there is more of an awareness but it is nowhere near enough you know that was in 2017 our prime minister stood at

the president spoke with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. trudeau said they agreed to work shoulder to shoulder on covid the economy and climate change. mr biden also spoke with the mexican president. president biden has called the moratorium on any more construction on the border wall. the mexican president said the call was quote friendly and respectful. california election officials said today that 99% of more than 15 million million ballots were verified and counted in the november election officials say the rejection rate was notably lower than the march primary, even though more than twice as many people voted because of the pandemic. the state mailed every voter a ballot, the hope was to discourage large crowds of polling places, nearly 18 million ballots were cast overall, with nearly 87% coming through the mail. voters in california will get the chance to decide whether flavored tobacco products should be banned in the state. lawmakers approved the band last year, but a referendum that qualified today means voters will have to weigh

trudeau: hello, everyone. we begin by addressing what unfolded in washington, d.c. this week. what we witnessed was an assault on democracy by violent rioters incited by the current president and other politicians. as shocking, deeply disturbing and frankly saddening as that event remains, we have also seen this week that democracy is resilient in america, our closest ally and neighbor. violence has no place in our societies. extremists will not succeed in overruling the will of the people. as canadians, we have all been reflecting on our own country. something i spoke with the premiers about last night. about the fact that democracy is not automatic. it takes work every day. about what a real accomplishment it is to maintain a political system in which the losing side gracefully concedes and in which rival political parties between elections work together for the common good. we have this in canada because canadians make it possible. canadians expect their political leaders to protect our precious democracy by how we conduct ourselves. we have seen this manifest in unanimous

, that relationship was left fractured by president trump, calling trudeau dishonest and weak. it may already add tension to this call that should be happening now or any moment because trudeau is criticizing biden's decision to cancel the keystone pipeline. the white house says we will get a readout of how that call goes this evening, wolf. >> let us know when you get it. don't go too far away, kaitlan. first let me go to capitol hill right now. there are major new developments in the impeachment of former president trump. let's go to our chief congressional correspondent, manu raju. you're learning that the chances of trump being convicted in the senate during the impeachment trial, the chances apparently eroding right now? what are you hearing? >> reporter: growing very slim. i'm talking to a number of republican senators. more than a dozen are making it clear a consensus forming within the republican conference there simply will not be enough support to convict donald trump during the upcoming impeachment trial. 67 senators from both parties to take that unprecedented actio

both trudeau and biden did say they would like to meet in the next month or so. those details still a little bit unclear, lindsay, of course, as president biden continues his outreach to other world leaders we expect in the days and weeks to come. >> wasting no time to get started. nbc's monica alba, thank you. >>> hundreds of guard members sent to washington after the january 6th insurrection on the u.s. capitol have tested positive for covid-19. according to several outlets, including politico, even though troops went through a screening process, not all of them were tested before coming to d.c. guard leadership has declined to release an official number of cases. >>> after discovering health care workers could squeeze an extra vaccine out of viles, pfizer plans to count an extra sixth dose towards its previous commitment. that means the u.s. is getting significantly fewer viles than expected despite pharmacists saying a specialty syringe is needed to reliably draw that extra fluid. earlier this month under president trump the fda approved a request from pfizer

with the canadian prime minister justin trudeau, that was a relationship that was left fractured by the last administration. it ended with president trump calling trudeau dishonest and weak and there could be mention the today's call because trudeau has already criticized biden's decision to cancel the keystone i'm that line that runs from alberta to nebraska. could it affect oil industry in a significant way. so we are still waiting for a readout from the washington on how that call went and we'll let you know when we get it. >> thank you very much. important news. let's go to capitol hill for the latest on the start of the trump impeachment trial in the senate. our congressional correspondent is joining us right now. i understand you have some major breaking news. >> reporter: that's right. any second now, the senate majority leader chuck schumer is set to take to the senate floor. and manu raju is reporting that schumer are announce a time line for the impeachment trial of donald trump. that is expected to start february 8th. that is a little earlier than what we were expecting when

he talked to canada's justin trudeau on friday as well as mexico's manuel he lobe adore. so those were different when he first took office, not his first foreign leader calls. this was more the are return from donald trump. and it was more noted the conversation had with prime minister trudeau that they agreed to meet at some point next month. we don't have details yet on where that would take place as the white house signaled we shouldn't expect any foreign travel to come so it's possible maybe justin trudeau will come here or, of course, another virtual meeting, something world leaders had to do due to the raging pandemic, alex. >> monica, that was beautiful pronunciation of that president's name. i'm just saying. i appreciate that. thank you so much. >>> with bipartisan agreement, donald trump's second impeachment trial is scheduled to begin tuesday, february 9th. less go to msnbc's marianne sotomayor. let's get to some of the key issues he will deal with? >> yes, this will be the first time biden has to deal with impeachment but you shouldn't expect that and monday ri

and prime minister justin trudeau got handed a tough situation. he is up for reelection.ppy with this decision and justin trudeau saying he is disappointed and thought he had a different arrangement with the president. >> yeah, it's interesting. and i think correct me if i'm wrong, that biden and trudeau are supposed to speak today, the first foreign call with a foreign leader that biden -- president biden is going to hold. and you can be sure that there will be some conversation about this. having said it, you know, you can argue whether it's right or wrong. i don't think it's any surprise. president obama had blocked the keystone pipeline as soon as trump came in he stopped the block and reignited the keystone pipeline and biden was pretty clear he was going to block it and just as he was clear he would reenter the paris climate accord. there are changes in policy. as obama famously said elections have consequences. >> bill: what do you make on the move of mitch mcconnell's behalf. he said i can hold two weeks in february for the impeachment trial to get underway. the a

prime minister trudeau does not like that. they acknowledged that disagreement and with all of the leaders they talked again about that job one not just for the united states but globally and that is getting on top of covid-19. >> all right. john harwood thank you for bringing us the latest from the white house. we appreciate it. you are live in the cnn newsroom. the vaccine rollout is getting a lot faster but is still not fast enough in many areas across the country. and that is causing a lot of frustration. more on that when we return. >>> and we're saying good-bye to a cnn legend and our long time friend talk show super host larry king. we'll look back at his life and career with his long time executive producer . >>> well the united states is set to cross a somber threshold in the next few hours with 25 million covid-19 cases registered since the pandemic began just over one year ago. but also as of today more than 20 million vaccine doses have been administered. getting vaccinated is not yet a simple task for everyone who

logically if canada means that much to joe biden where your first international call is to justin trudeau, why does this make sense? can you clue me in who was joe biden answering to? >> i think we did just answer that. it's the culture warriors, the postmodernist progressives. they want you to believe certain things about america. they want you to believe it's evil, that you should sacrifice but the chinese don't have to. they want you to believe your job should be sacrificed for other jobs that they prefer even though they pay less and are good jobs. they want you to believe that the 1776 commission should be abolished because it teaches you that america is too good and they would rather replace that with the 1619 project. this is who he is listening to. when maggie was asked about the highways and what he will do because the former mayor of south bend who was average in every way said this about our highways, so get a pen ready, i did not know this. >> i also recognize that at their worst, misguided policies and missed opportunities in transportation can reinforce racial and economic i

canadian prime minister justin trudeau. it is just one sign of how primary the u.s.tionship is. that call lasted about 30 minutes. there was some disagreement. mr. trudeau expressed disappointment at the president's decision to cancel the keystone xl pipeline. it would transport 830,000 barrels of canadian crude from the province of alberta over the u.s. border and eventually on to the gulf coast. keystone xl has been a political and cultural football for the past 12 years. mr. biden's decision was cheered by environmentalists and tribal activists on this side of the border. it was strenuously opposed by many in canada especially those whose jobs depend on the pipeline. let's hear from both of these sides of the debate. starting us off is jason kenny the premier of alberta that province is north of montana, idaho, and washington state. good evening. >> thanks. great to be here, joshua. >> what was the most important aspect of the keystone xl pipeline to albertans? jobs or more to it? >> jobs are critical of course. it would create tens of thousands of good jobs on bo
