julie norman, university college of london professor. a really important day in washington, d.c.ve almost become desensitized to impeachment proceedings, which is remarkable, but that is where we are at. tom: whatever anybody's politics is, we will have to see. we all underestimate what we are going to witness today. jonathan: unlike last time, some nuances. do we know where senator mcconnell sits on this? i know that typically he would not predetermine the outcome, but that was the story last time. 's are way more complex this time -- things are way more complex this time. tom: way more complex. i am still not clear about the timeline this week. lisa: we are not necessarily going to get any real answers of where mitch mcconnell stands or where any republican stands. they don't want to answer that question, which is the reason it will be a constitutional issue to be trying a president in congress after they have already left office. they want to kick off the trial and ended quickly. 17 republicans would have to switch sides to push this forward. jonathan: i think that is the poin

funding for historically black colleges and universities, minority institutions and tribal colleges, debt relief to black farmers who have been ignored for far too long in georgia and elsewhere, and so much more. this -- they have been pushing me as a leader to get these things done. they have been talking to our caucus, and obviously the democratic caucus is very grateful that they ran such great races and helped us gain the majority, but we realize that's not the end, that's just the beginning. getting things done is the real reason that people elected them and what we must do. again, , in terms of direct assistance to georgia families, senators ossoff and warnock will help deliver an extra $8000 for an average family of four. that makes a big difference in their lives. we senate democrats are moving full steam ahead with the bold plan to tackle the worst health crisis in 100 in 100 yeae spanish pandemic flu. the worst economic crisis in 75 years since the great depression. this bill, what we are proposing is proof to people who have lost faith in democracy, your vote matters. it s

politics at university college london. thanks for being here.is weekend at cpac what stood out for you? was it the reverence for donald trump? the pervasive extent to which the lies about the steal persist? >> well, all of the above, kim. for me the most memorable thing from cpac so far is definitely the golden statue of trump. it's the perfect metaphor for the deck a depends of the gop under trump. but in terms of the content you have to look at two speeches, one by matt gaetz and on gaetz called the pro-trump wing of the republican party its main attraction. cruz said that trump isn't going anywhere anytime soon. i think that's important because it shows what the zeitgeist is, namely among their circles trump isn't subordinate to anyone within today's gop, especially within the eyes of voters. i think that reflects the infrastructure behind trump in terms of right wing media and republican allies on capitol hill willing to support basically whatever he does. i think all of that support hasn't dissipated much and we are seeing that front and ce

sana physic joins us to she's from university college london slobo citizenship program on our breaks of infectious diseases she joins us on skype. how do you take the the u.s. and the u.k. of come under a lot of scrutiny for how they dealt with the pandemic high infection rights and also confusing advice now on the vaccine from bay seem to be doing fairly well what's your assessment who's getting it right and who has got work to do. well certainly the vaccine role in the u.k. in particular has been a success i think what we'll see in the u.s. is that they're going to pick up pace and accelerate quite soon and probably even overtake the u.k. one especially the j. and j. vaccine which has been authorized today so we're looking at a 100000000 doses just from this company alone that will reach americans by by june by this summer so certainly making up for that now in terms of speed of vaccines but making a perhaps short sighted assessment at the globe ality of this particular problem and stockpiling vaccines not only that but we could see that the remaining 130 countries that have receiv

universal health care those are green party policies tree college tuition those are green public policiesbut they get co-opted by the democrats but the democrats really can't implement those policies because of their allegiance to their donors and that's the problem with both parties that whether or not a 3rd party is actually good for their cause is debatable because generally 3rd parties are seeing mostly as a spoiler in america building a movement of people who are non partisan who are beyond partisan what transpires and the best way to break up some of the monopoly that's held and shared by the republicans and democrats who are completely completely corrupt state parties governor governor races even here locally city council mayor races so we're going to start from the bottom up we also have some lobbying. we have to do it i know 3rd parties don't want to do that but there is legislation that needs to be changed to make you make u.s. elections more clear for everybody and give voters voters more choices at their brother well. let's return to our top story now on the unrest across spai

a little earlier, i spoke to thomas gift, associate professor of political science at university collegecapitol hill. well, $1.9 trillion is a lot of money. and i think it's inevitable that there will be pushback from republicans. joe biden since the outset has said he wants to govern from the centre, that he wants to push through bipartisan legislation. and by starting right out the gates with a measure that is so strictly cut across party lines, i do think he'll face some opposition and criticism. that said, democrats have control of both houses and the white house, and it's unsurprising that they'll use the numbers to their advantage. he's got a very full intro at the moment, hasn't he? how does this fit in, fixing the economy? how does that fit in with his pandemic response programme? well, there's no doubt that keeping the us economy afloat is at the very top of biden�*s list, and it's of course inextricably linked to covid—19. and the extent to which this administration is prioritising the economy is evidenced by the fact that biden and the democrats have been so willing to push ha

leftists in the dems and you know we actually have video coming from a cognitive scientist at the university college london the piece of me who touches on this idea we know from our psychology and brimstone studies that it's very difficult to change people's core beliefs extremists coralie fs but what we do find is that they are amenable to peer influence they're less willing to engage in violence if they feel like their peer group does not approve of it the problem would be platform extremists from social media is that they migrate to other platforms and once they're there are new peer group all basically agree with them that's making it more likely for them to engage in violence so the real question in the long term is going to be how can we in gauge with rather than exclude extremists from public discourse. moustafa best sounds like a question for a professor what do you think about the disinflation at the heart of these ideas. i couldn't agree more with that youtube comment that you just put up there i mean i think the internet is a primary source for mentioning dangerous violent ideologies of a

dr thomas gift is an associate professor in political science at university college london and earlier.. to me, there's almost nothing suspenseful about this impeachment trial and a not guilty verdict is a foregone conclusion. everything that we've seen so far, including from the republican defence, serious observers of american politics were predicting from a mile away. as evidence, republicans used only about three or four hours of their allocated time defending trump and at least some legal experts have suggested that's three or four more hours than they needed. the argument is that a better strategy would have been not to put a defence on at all and just to say that the house managers did not meet their burden to convict. regardless of the merits of the case, the outcome is subordinate is the politics of the moment and everything really vows to politics here. there is a question of whether a few republican senators might rebel against trump and vote guilty, but it won't be anywhere near the 17 also required to convict. what about, if i could put it this way, the court of public opi

a team from university college london say they now believe that the blue stone circle was first erectedvealed in a bbc documentary tonight. duncan kennedy reports. stonehenge, standing here since 2500 bc. but around 500 years earlier it looked very different. 0riginally it was a circle of blue stones but the question has always been where did they come from? they are really like a pack of cards that has slipped. professor mike parker pearson who found the blue stones quarry in west wales believes stonehenge may have been built before it was moved to wiltshire. the question was where? the mood was sombre. for three years his team searched. it is extreme archaeology. in rain and gales. the wind never stops. until finally they tried a place called waun mawn. the lost circle had been found. there were three key pieces of evidence. first, the dimension of the welsh circle is exactly the same as stonehenge. the second piece of evidence concerns this particular bluestone at stonehenge. the team say the shape of the base of this rock exactly fits a hole they found at the dig site in wales. in t

we have exceptional universities, colleges and community colleges in the states. but not all skills are learned in a classroom. on the job training and rescaling are some of the most valuable ways to advance our workforce and increase iowans wages. we need to continue to find ways to recognize this type of experience. we took a big step in june bypassing a significant licensing reform package. it did not get a lot of attention at the time. but at the beginning of the session we should stop to recognize how important it was. iowa has the most flexible licensing reciprocity and recognition laws in the nation. which sends a signal to the country that iowa is open for business. [applause] [applause] and we are not done. this year we will begin the task of reviewing each of the licensing board and commissions to make sure they are serving their purpose. we must also continue great strides by integrating workplace learning into the k-12 work curriculum. we know tilden think differently when it involves life experiences. they see why education matters and it can be a key
