in april, last year, a library of the university of k plan was also under fire and thousands of miles scripts were destroyed and the building was destroyed and the damage if you press structure now with the parliament, is very similar to that. however, the temperatures, as we were saying before, us deal so high that these base very difficult to assess the damage right now because not even the fire fighters are able to access some of the areas of the building. ok, that's great, thank you so much for joining us about for us selling, selling at, in cape town. now to sit down where the prime minister has resigned following months of political term. well, i'm down to hom doc said it was not possible for him to restore order under a power sharing agreement with the military. when the army seized power back in october, mister ham dock and his cabinet with retained he was sent released and reinstated in november. his resignation from the transitional government leaves the military and sole control of the country. awe under the weekend of protests ensued on the quickly descended into violence.

of that. so the to help from oxford university in the u. k. thank you very much for being on the show today. thank you. and of your question now for our science corresponded derek williams on the recycling of masks. oh, and boiling use masks and water, clean them of pathogens. oh, like other kinds of personal protective equipment masks, were in really short supply, pretty much everywhere. 4 months after the pandemic 1st head, lots of people just made their own and the right ways to keep a multi use masked clean. we're a big issue. a manufacturers have now ramped up production of disposable masks to the point where, at least by german standards, they're plentiful and cheap, but i'm sure there neither and many other places. so here's what the world health organization has to say on cleaning used masks. multi use fabric masks should be washed at least once a day in soap or detergent and water that's heated to at least 60 degrees celsius. if that isn't possible, then you can also wash the masks and room temperature water 1st. then place them in boiling water from one minute to get rid of potentia

of the 22nd century. what we do here is we want to have the best educated workforce. that is why universal pre-k will mean so much. it also increases exponentially the prospect of that child being able to, no matter what her background is coming to get through 12 years of school and then go out -- almost half go on to a two or four year college. studies have been done by a lot of great universities. i think it is an economic

i'm he john chung, i'm professor in sociology and social policy at the university of can you k? i'm also the author of an upcoming book, the flexibility paradox, while while flexible working, leased itself exploitation. so i'm a labor sociologist, i love anything to do with labor markets. and in this book, specifically i look at issues around flexible working work life balance, but and also importantly, gender equality and what flexible working can quality i get has. hello there, ronnie. good to have here on the screen. please introduce yourself to our view is around the world. thank you so much for having me on my name is ronnie. i am a former marketing manager. i've been working in the technology industry for the last 15 years. and i recently lost my job last year, and thank you so much for having me on the opportunity to share my story with everyone. all right, ladies, guy, i like the way the professor clock in 3 words describe the phenomenon that is happening right now. the great music nation. sit down, do you like that phrase? would you change it? i'm going to school 3 of yo

well, we can now speak to tom brooks, who is a professor of law and government at the university of durham in the u. k. thanks for joining us on d. w. business. we're seeing extremely high numbers of people in the air law isolating a because of all the crown in the u. k. and friends me was sort of knock on effect that having 1st of businesses in fair critical services. it'll have quite a lot. i mean, one issue will be the workforce. many people will be, as you noted, a, b, b, l or the isolating. it causes other problems as well. terms of the unpredictability of the future. you know, will government, the making different restrictions or not very often in the k, it's been on very short notice next day, next 48 hours. so that on predictability isn't very helpful for business as well. and then finally, kind of bringing those 2 things together, getting labor from from abroad has been more difficult with the different restrictions between countries. and of course with britain brack set has kind of made this kind of very difficult cocktail at a very worrying time. and you mentioned that the problem of the un

care that might include a child or an older sibling, or a parents, or you are talking about universal pre-k. all of this lowers costs, lowers costs for care and, is transformative in the lives of women in the worse for -- in the workforce. we have to have, if our economy is going to succeed, when women succeeds america succeeds. if we will have the full benefit of women and newcomers, people of color who have not been in some of these traditional jobs to expand what that means, we have to have care at home. whether it is for children or again, older siblings or parents. so, there are big chunks of the bill that have to be contained, but remember this. this is a reconciliation bill. someone people say let us divided up -- divide it up, they do not understand the process, what can we agree upon, and i am sure that we can agree upon something significant, call it a chunk if you want. whatever you call it we want to be able to make a difference and -- in transforming the workplace by honoring work, by respecting the fact that there are families that have to make decisions between home and work, and aga

now, of course, with legislation that is pending, we hope that when we have more access to childcare and universal pre-k and the rest, many more people will be able to go to work, especially as the president addresses -- continues to address the covid challenge that we have that are keeping people out of work. but 6.4 million jobs versus this, over five million -- six million jobs lost the year before in the previous presidency. so with that, many more people availing themselves of the affordable care act in the tune of millions more people, five million more people. we're very proud of that. and having access to quality health care. of course, more to come when we pass some version of the legislation that is pending over on the senate side. we're very proud in the course of over a year ago, in march, we passed the rescue package. the rescue package put money in the pocket of american people, vaccines in arms, children back to school, people back to work. it enabled cities, states, and counties to pay for and support the systems that make societies work, whether it's the education of our children, the t

will scott lucas is a professor at the university of birmingham in the u. k. he says that the u. s. secretary of state made an extremely important statement in geneva. this is the firm, his statement by a high level u. s. official. not only around the specific issue of ukraine, but around russia's position in other areas of europe, such as the baltics, for example. and what blake him was saying, let's just break this down. he is one. of course the, the u. s. in europe and nature will stand against any cross poor russian military invasion. we knew that already discussions today, but for the 1st time, here's the 2nd point blank and extended that commitment to say we will take action against the ongoing russian operations inside ukraine to destabilize and even to try to break up the country. this notion of hybrid warfare that rushes pursued since 2014. that is an extension of the american position and 3 blank and pushed back very clearly against this russian idea that the central issue was a u. s. written response to moscow's demand for a guarantee. and said, no, that's not the issue

and my call was staying with that story. louise central is a research fellow at the university of portsmouth in the u. k. she explained to me earlier, what's behind this latest escalation in bacchanal? facile, the music is not a surprise and the account is that it has become, is not as far as either that has been happening monday only due to the lack of resources or appointments that have been given in fighting being fortunately, i can, you know, sorry, i don't have soldiers killed really resonated among the nation and among animals. and the meeting was about that about creating the soldiers to be treated better, even for equipment. it seems that negotiations are broken down and that, that it becomes and it isn't clear what's gonna happen next. and me how these 2 are to help the situation situation. we have to remember that the last time happened in 2016 and there was huge resistance to, to that. could that estimate that that's been failed. the situation is very different. now people are very angry at the government for not responding well, the run enough to the situation. so you, you do have a multiple

of the radioactive heavy metal. it shot up some 8 percent. let's get into the what it all means with dr. hillary am senior lecture and economics out lancaster university in the u. k. it's a pleasure to have you on the program. counts extended kinds for run 40 her sense of global you really and production if exports grind to a halt, what global impact firstly, could that, how it's going to have a big global impact. because of course, that's a lot of debate about moving will more sustainable energy. so rely on fossil fuels is going to go down. we bought alternative sources like wind power, but they don't provide sufficient. and so one of the way forward is going to pay more dependent on nuclear reactors, which is called rely on uranium and do not true. fact the european union has just kept to rise the nuclear reactors of being a sustainable full of energy future. so it's very, very important, but uranium is available not clearly with a significant disruption that is going on in public thumb. that is certainly in the short run. in some doubt supplies will be bad. yeah, very section explanation there is there also a security issue at play context on as substantial ur

succeed. spray in roger murphy here he is a meritus professor of education at the university of nottingham in the u. k. and he joins us from oxford. sure, thanks for being with us. a professor murphy last year you warned that the pandemic impact on children's education was not being taken seriously enough. is it being taken more seriously now? not everybody. i don't think. no, i think it, you know, there are so many issues after the pandemic that governments having to deal with that. i fear that in many countries, the education problems aren't being addressed as a top priority there or massive inequalities in access to education around the world. has the pandemic exacerbated those inequality is professor or has the boom and online learning maybe helped even things out of it. now i think one of the very sad things about the impact to the pandemic has been that it is exacerbated the gap between the privilege children and underprivileged children. we know that gap is widened. we know that it's the disadvantage to, as you say, perhaps, couldn't always access remote learning is suffered most with the on th

care that might include a child or an older sibling or a parent, or you're talking about universal pre-k. all of this lowers cost, lowers cost for care and this transformative in the lives, especially of women in the work force. so we have to have -- if our economy is going to succeed, and when he say when women succeed, america succeeds. people not in traditional jobs to expand what it means, we have to have care at home. whether it's for children, or, again, older siblings or parents. so this -- there are big chunks of the bill that have to be contained in the bill. but remember this. this is a reconciliation bill. so when people say let's divide it up, then -- they don't understand the process. what can we agree upon, and i'm sure that we can agree upon something significant. call it a chunk, if you want. but whatever you call it, we want it to be able to make a difference in transforming the workplace by honoring work, by respecting the fact that there are families that have to make decisions between home and work, and, again, protecting the planet. so i'm optimistic. i'm optimistic. yeah. >

let's say from some o'clock who's an associate professor in sunny la microbiology at the university of reading in the u. k. he says if children aren't wearing must properly and the rules may not have much impact. this is the, i think, in secondary school age children. and so people are familiar with the u. k. system . that means when the age of 11 up have any influence on younger children that they were expected to do this. but not quite sure that anybody's ever really study the effectiveness of miles when a school environment, because it's not just the case of wearing them. it's case waving properly in the right place, the right time, all the time, changing them, making sure they fit stuff like that. so it does strike me that the government saw perhaps looking at the situation, fearing that schools are going to be a drive that they've seen. this is something that can be done. so they do it without really knowing how much impact it's going to have. i don't think we can be sure what, what impact will have and not even show the getting childrens when a face moss will drive down. those that are over the age

would provide childcare that was going to be no more than 7% of the income of any one family, where we would have universal pre-k, those elements could be saved. it's important to save them because we have seen 1.3 million women leave the workforce since covid, the lowest number of participation in the workforce since 1988. it's important to have the infrastructure bill which created one million jobs a year, that we have a jobs bill for women, that is what build back better is about. kristen: in terms of build back better, the president talked about the potential of breaking the bill up into chunks. barring able to get some republicans or mansion to agree to filibuster changes, tell us how this could happen and which chunks are most necessary. >> we can do that and not be subject to the filibuster rule if we do it through reconciliation. the two components i mentioned in particular, both the universal pre-k for all kids in america, that means there will be about 20 million kids who are not in pre-k now who will be, it will be a huge benefit to them, and frankly to our economy over the long term. making sure the

health care that will not include a child or an older sibling or a parent or talking about universal pre-k, all ofhis lowers costs, lowers costs for care and is transformative in the lives, especially of women in the workforce. so we have to have -- of our economy is going to succeed, as you know, we say if women succeed, america succeeds. if we are going to have the full benefit of women and newcomers and people of color in some of these traditional jobs, to expand what that means, we have to have care at home, whether it is the children or older siblings or parents. there are big chunks of the bill that have to be contained. remember this, that this is a reconciliation bill. so when people say let's divide it up, they do not understand the process. what can we agree upon, and i am sure we can agree upon something significant, call it a chunk if you want, but whatever you call it, we want it to be able to make a difference in transforming the workplace by honoring work, by respecting the fact that there are families that have to make decisions between home and work. and again, protecting the plan

lifted. simon clark is an associate professor of selling your microbiology at the university of reading here in the u. k. he joins us via skype, so thank you so much for joining us here and al jazeera, i'm few hours ago we heard the health secretary saying the cupboard would effectively become like a sort of flu or should be treated as as a kind of flu. do you agree with that? do you agree with these measures taken by the government to lift restrictions? well, i think what he means is that we know how to deal with it. we know what we've got to do, does not mean that it will become only as impactful and is lethal as influenza. but we have a vaccine that he's pretty effective against, against the cave it, and we have antivirals would allow us to treat it. so i think that's what he mean when he says that it will, it will be manageable like flu. i think we are moving in that direction in the u. k. but that's thanks to that seems like i say and playing the chrome. but i think if we do get other variants in the future, and he did highlight this, then that could shift the dial and could mean that we have to re

restore broadband and a handful of republicans will be able to do that but not many and they will be able to talk about how we are fighting for efforts to put in place universal pre-k and efforts to cut the cost of child care, elder care. [inaudible] it has been made recently. from the outlet out there but here officially we don't have any specific ac attributions ofe particular group by name or groups that might be responsible for this we don't have anything new on b that front as my colleague said yesterday they are very muchse typical of what we've been seeing in recent months and they've been increasing even by the groups that are supported by iran in terms of specifics. we don't have that level of detail at this point. in terms of intent it's also difficult to describe intent with any specificity and certainty in these type of attacks we can say definitively why the attacks seem to have stepped up it's certainly possible that it could be related to the talks in vienna but again right now we are still assessing attribution and intent so we don't have much more analysis at this point. >> thanks, everyone. the supreme court is considering challenges to the admini

what we heard from the white house is that there are elements of the build back better package that everyone agrees on. things like universal pre-kere's some sort of broad agreement on that. i think the path forward now in order to get everyone on board is, you know, is -- is condensing the package even more. structuring it differently. is that going to get more people on board? i think we'll see this play out in the next few weeks on how -- what changes can be made to get everyone back on board. as we know, it's been very tricky to get senator manchin and progressives to come together and agree on something. >> it's the big outstanding question and has been for months. >> hans, i saved the nerd question for you. especially -- the economy is the biggest issue right now. if you look at the reuters poll from mid-december, economy was 29% in terms of most important problem facing the u.s. today. the closest to it was health care at 13% and then immigration and environment. you have inflation, supply chain issues as well. you also have robust economic recovery, particularly compared to other countries in the world. how does the admin

of agreement. but i think the rest -- you know, joe biden in his press conference mentioned universal pre-k which isriorities that will be in a scaled down version of a "build back better" plan. but then what gets stripped out is really unclear because if you strip something out from this bill -- and remember the bill is going through the reconciliation process, so they just need 50 democratic votes. if you start stripping out pieces of this bill to then come back to it, then you're going to face 60 votes in a senate where we, as you heard, there is not a lot of republicans that want to play ball. there's a possibility of bringing some on board with different pieces of legislation, especially, you know, if you're voting on a single policy issue rather than a big, you know, big multipart bill, there might be the possibility of get something republican support. but 60 is a really high bar in the senate. so i think democrats are very clear eyed that what goes in this bill might be all that they can get. >> elena, to that point, this week jim clyburn said, quote, if we keep talking about what we have no

s. cache moore, professor of sociology at asking university in the u. k. he thinks history and government has put itself in an awkward position with such a high profile, but got morrison. the a prime minister has paid it himself into a bit of a corner now, because on the one hand, if he allows junk of which entry into australia, then it's going to kick off in melbourne because this is the most locked down country in the was they have been hardly able to move for the past 2 years, trying to come out of lockdown. it's funding it's inspection rate is spiraling upwards. and so they're saying now if we let junk of it into the country, this is really sacrificing a policy that was held in place for 2 years. exactly the wrong time in history. on the other hand, if they exclude chuck of edge, then they're going to have a d valued tennis tournament. yep. on the historic 21st grand slam on the title as well. now it's.

of excitement on campus. charles k. ross: robert f. kennedy on the campus of the university of mississippi that represents this btion of segregation, this closed society. frank thackston: the more the consternation-- the public consternation about him coming-- wringing of hands about what a hell of a note it was that he was invited in the first place-- the more people wanted to come. gerald blessey: there were a lot of reassurances. the chancellor invited ethel to come with senator kennedy, a special invitation-- invite your wife to come, please, and we'll have lunch. donald r. cole: that allowed a humanistic side of him to be seen a lot sooner. i trust you enough. even in this dangerous situation, i bring my most dear loved one with me. gerald blessey: we had a luncheon. but after going through the receiving line and shaking hands and introducing everybody, both ethel and robert went and did the same thing for all the kitchen help. the kennedys greeted them just as warmly, and they were just as glad to see them, which just didn't happen back then. he was just being gracious

are there elements of build back better that your kaye caucus would support? like universal pre-k, for example? mr. mccarthy: let's take an example of the president coming into office. prior to the president in office we were in a pandemic. every single bill we did dealing with covid was bipartisan. we sat in a room with leaders on the other side, administration, and we worked it all out. the minute he became president, and they controlled the house and senate, no longer were republicans invited into the room. and what's the first thing they passed? purely on partisan basis. $1.9 trillion. put that in perspective. when the financial markets crashed and we needed to fund the economy, we were talking about $800 billion. $1.9 trillion after we had passed all the other bills, with only 9% going to covid. they wanted to do it only on party rule. we warned them then that you would create inflation. one year later, we were right. one year later, when we need tests that he promised, they weren't a part of that. more americans have died from covid last year than the year before. and we hav

from mississippi valley state university to university of chicago to the university of austin -- how can we make sure k to 12 and college students can unlock these ideas, have exposure, and truly experience human flourishing? what would it take to scale across institutions? >> one thing that i think is important for teacher education is to get around the traditional education in schools, which are producing teachers who are not saying the kinds of things we are saying on this stage. so having alternative methods of credentialing is an important way to do it. you still have tens of thousands of teachers who went through it all the way, and we will be challenging a pretty large monster there, so having lots of post credential education for teachers, economic education, civic education, like our organizations already do, would be really valuable. the bill of rights institute or the ashbrook institute will find hundreds and thousands of teachers. in fact, here in florida, the governor has devoted tens of millions of dollars to that kind of civic education for teachers. so if teachers are better prepared, t

k. security agency, the university of edinburgh, scotland, and imperial college. each of these show that in various parameters of des, severity, armor chron appears to be less than delta next slide. although this data is the, it more preliminary, but nonetheless, indications from houston, texas, indicate that we are seeing similar situations here in the united states. next slide, the slide is from canada. again, showing that the risk of hospitalizations or death was 65 percent lower among m a crime compared to delta. and the risk of intensive care was 83 percent next slide. if you go now to in vitro animals studies, these are interesting. but remember, there is always a caviar associated with animals studies and a number of studies, ones that have done individually and cooled in my son hamster models. it was shown that the virus of our micron proliferates very well in the upper air way in bronchitis. but actually very poorly in the lungs, which actually goes along with those improve goes along with the concept that you have a very transmissible virus with upper ai

garnet in the senate majority leader leading the way focused on implementing free universal pre- k pass by two thirds ofhe voters, saving even more money for young families saving an average of $4300 per child for families with preschoolers. healthcare and education facing some of the highest cost as part of the budget that they are not the only pinpoints. that's why we have implemented historic tax relief helping coloradans keep more of what they earn. defending this colorado child tax credit in history giving families with children under age six up to $1080 per year per child. and with a giving hard-working coloradansex and with cutting taxes by with the state income tax $654 per year voters approved reductions of the colorado income tax rate saving families an average of $100 per year but hoping businesses to hire more and pay more. where committed not to save money but do it in a way to ensure continued access too critical state services. we fully paid for the tax cuts by reducing lobbyist pupils and special interest tax giveaways for the wealthy and well-connected. [applause] and i want to think th

and we should say, there's been lots of studies on the effectiveness of pre-k, universal pre-k, for instance. studies come out and sometimes the data get confounding as more studies come out. it's possible that there are studies that would find different findings here. but one thing i think this speaks to is that there is a fear that if you give these people money, they are going to do bad stuff with it. it's going to go to waste or it will be used on bad stuff. and i feel like, at the very least, there is something pretty demonstrative here. and there is clearly not some negative effect happening to households from an unconditional cash payments. >> exactly. we hear that question all the time, are you worried that families will squander the money? and i will take a step back to answer that. literature previous to our study does not support that. families who get a windfall tend to spend it in much the same way that higher income families do. so it's no surprise that we are not seeing differences in spending on adult vices, like tobacco. >> we should say that there is a battle politically ov

of those things can get done. jonathan, let's also remember that universal pre-k, elder care, child tax credit, each one of these thingscant. i'm not quite ready to negotiate with ourselves. i want to have a person we're negotiating with to get it over the finish line otherwise that makes sense. >> i was trying to get you to negotiate with me. congresswoman pramila jayapal -- >> as soon as we get close to the woman. >> congresswoman pramila jayapal, chair of the progressive caucus, thank you very much for coming back to "the sunday show." >> thank you, jonathan. >>> coming up, will this pandemic ever end? dr. ben gupta is here to try to answer our toughest covid questions when we come back. t. ow! i'm ok! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ only in theaters december 17th. what does a foster kid need from you? to be brave. to show up. for staying connected. the questions they weren't able to ask. show up for the first day of school, the last day at their current address. for the mornings when everything's wrong. for the manicure that makes everything right, for right now. show up, however

of build back better rather than the whole plan. we're going to try and get prescription drug benefits, which people want. universal pre-k, which people want. and most of all, i think, he has to kind of take the reins and look like a competent leader. i think throughout this first year, lots of questions have been raised about competency. i think it goes all the way back to the way afghanistan was handled, and you saw his poll numbers starting to dip at that point. and they haven't recovered. this is a president who has bled his support with independent voters. those voters believe that he ran as a moderate and governed as a liberal. so he has to kind of do a reset here. i'm going to be looking for that with a president who sort of takes charge again and says, this is what we are going to do, this is what i'm going to get done, and not dwell on the past but talk about the future and what he's going to do for americans who are worried not only about the pandemic, but about inflation and about what's going on abroad. so, again, he has to lead and not act like he's being led by external events. >> he's facing an uphill clim

end of the day, our charge here on capitol hill is to pass legislation and send it to the president's desk. and so when we're talking about things like extending the child tax credit, universal pre-kring the cost of prescription drugs, those individual items on their own would be transformative in how they would impact people across the united states. and so if we could pass a bill or individual bills in the house and in the senate and send that legislation to the president's desk, on any of those issues, with on addressing and fighting climate change, right? another large element of the build back better act, any of those things in isolation would be amazing successes. and so, all of the pieces that we can move forward, that we can get to the president's desk, i believe that we should move in that direction. and then we keep working for the other priorities that we put forth in the discussions and negotiations towards the build back better act. it is, in fact, succeeding, delivering for the american people. and talking about what we want to do next and working towards that next step forward. >> did the president take on too much when he didn't really have a mandate. he has a 50/5
