but 1st, let's speak to shebra tonchee who's at a demonstration in washington dc. what's happening that she had well, the motors began the focus very much for the for the demonstration here in dc is really the supreme court. a huge amount of shock because we have this texas, texas law, which effectively sends out vigilantes to prevent women from having abortions often 6 weeks. whereas supreme court precedent is very clear that no, they sort of barrier to women getting an abortion can be imposed on a women before the before the viability of a fetus. and that's 24 weeks at the very least, where the department of justice, whether the supreme court will emergency injunction to prevent the texas law from going through wild legislation. well, litigation was underway, that was the expectation that the people were granted, but they didn't. and it was a real flex with his newly emboldened conservative. trump appointed 3 conservative justices. and he was very clear that he was any good point justices who are going to outlaw abortion. eventually, this is a real flex. the 1st

and fisher jones is lad now from washington, dc with the details. hello there. alan, what are the ins and outs of this revised plan? what will and won't the president guess what the white house has been saying for weeks? not everyone is going to get what they want. he to $3.00 trillion dollar bill is going to come in somewhere around $1.00 trillion among the things that debate and will definitely get is improved care for the elderly and also for children. it's also going to improve a pre kindergarten and kindergarten schools across the country. huge expansion of that is going to be clean energy tax credit, which he hopes will boost manufacturing in the united states. and there's going to be an increase in the, at well, a continuation of the child tax credit which has been going on throughout the pandemic. it gives our families about $300.00 a month per child that will continue for at least a year, although not indefinitely. as he had wanted, and there's expansion of health care coverage at the white house believes that it's going to bring 7000000 pe

phil laval there from washington dc. now the u. k. has some of the french ambassador after the seizure of the british fishing vessel over dispute involving fishing licenses, that the dispute is over a zone in the english channel. now, frances, several vessels have been denied access because they couldn't prove they'd fish there before. briggs at andrew simmons has more i put is trula seized by french maritime police who say the crew was fishing for scallops without a permit denied by its owners. it may sound like a small incident, but it's symptomatic of something much bigger, a potential escalation and a post bricks. it fishing rights dispute was causing much more than a ripple in luke, a french relations. it sites for example, jersey. the british crown dependency only accepting a 3rd of the fishing permit applications from france absolutely might unrestricted . it's time that we are respected as it's totally insufficient and totally unacceptable. so now we must talk the language of force, and unfortunately, i feared that is the only

was the supreme court in washington dc where thousands of people gathered at the end of a march. there was a real concern amongst especially democrats, that that fervor that we had in the immediate aftermath of donald trump's inauguration, when there was a women's march and 4000000 people mobilized around the country that had suburbs dissipated since very bite and became became president. and it's always actually even be olmby fundamental issues of reproductive health care and reproductive rights. this was a test to see whether you could still get that mobilization. you remember off the door prompted or gratian a lot about activism and broad street organizing around the country was women. the fear was then that that wouldn't be the case anymore, even as the country faces such enormous but an enormous moment for the future of, of abortion in the country life. and i think actually felt the best assistance because people will be very, very happy. the focus is on the supreme court. here there wasn't bad injunction to a temporary injunction on the texas law given back. supreme court p

mary church carol participated in pickets in washington dc that i mentioned in the beginning, the first pickets at the white house and they started putting them together in january of 1917 which is you might know is the same month the united states is entering world war i. there's a lot of controversy whether they should be doing this at the time and i would argue we need both of these tickets and the publicity they attract, these photographs published across the united states. they are ultimately arrested, sent to workhouses or went on hunger strikes and were force-fed and all of that garnered significant publicity not to mention the fact the president drove by them every day in and out of the white house to see them from his windows and many other politicians having to deal with the consequences of this protest and yet one of the really powerful images the suffragists made a compelling case for is this idea that women were participating in the war effort, were patriotic citizens, were motherly caregivers like the poster we see here, you can see the direct continuation of the suffrage

in another recent protest that you all might remember was this black lives matter outside of washington dc and you might also know that they were actually the first group to protest outside of the white house in 1917. it really made the space around the white house such an important place for political protest so 100 years later, it remains that way today if you've ever been to washington dc, probably seen somebody at the white house protesting something that is because of these famous protest and images of these famous protest that we have gotten to the work that the place outside of the white house is so important to our political movement. another image that it's a probably crossed her news of the past couple of years are images of women wearing white and particularly leading political figures and this is a group from state of the union address they are all wearing white. and suffrage is in particular and they were white and as we saw with this photograph from 1913, parade and they were white and a lot of their parades and processions and they did it for two reasons. one was to emphasiz

s. congressional committee investigating john was assault on capitol hill in washington, dc. it's the pairing for contempt. so it's a long time donald a donald trump, a steve bannon, if he democratically controlled committee votes in favor as expected, it'll pay the way for a full boat by the house of representatives later this week. and that could lead to a criminal case against band of particle, hey, joins us live now from washington dc party. so just talk us through what we're expecting to happen with this vote in the house. well, in just about 15 minutes time, we think it will be a fairly short order that we do expect. it's probably going to be unanimous. there's 7 democrats on the committee to republicans. obviously this has become a very partisan issue. republicans objected to having this bipartisan committee. there are 2 long time critics of donald trump, republican members of congress that have joined the committee. so it does have a bit of bipartisanship. we expect that they are going to go ahead and endorse this . so what is all this about steve bad and was once a v

in washington, dc, thousands of demonstrators marched to the u. s. supreme court to highlight the issue just to say they fear the growing restrictions haven't been taken seriously enough. incredibly important that we make sure that we uphold grovee wait, and if that doesn't happen, we need federal protection under the law to make sure that women and doctors all around the state of michigan and our on the united states are not literally imprisoned and are turned into criminals simply for exercising their right to choose. well, i actually have 2 daughters here, and of course i want them to have control over their lives later when they grow up . so it's really important to come out here in a honeys. jo castro has more from austin, texas. texas is now ground 0 of the abortion battle in the united states. abortions here have been effectively bad since september when it became illegal to carry out the procedure. after a fetal heartbeat is detected, that is usually around 6 weeks of gestation, which is before most women realize they're pregnant. that ban

if everyone in washington dc passed away, that would be fewer people died than who have died of covidher member in each one of those is a person with a family, friends and loved ones, it is important to do that. the last 200,000, the vast majority of them did not have to die if we had widespread vaccination. that makes it a little worse. it's one thing to have died before we knew what hit us last year, but now that we have the tools to prevent virtually all deaths from covid, most of the deaths are for those who have chosen not to be vaccinated. kristen: it's like you read my mind. i was going to ask, you think we could have prevented. andrea on twitter has a question -- she wanted to ask about new cdc guidelines, dr. fauci's guideline saying don't have holiday gatherings. she said my whole extended family is vaccinated. she thinks that's a negative message that vaccines don't work. what do you say to that? >> i it's hard to know what we will be sate -- what will be safe and not be safe around the holidays in part because it is going to vary a lot depending on where you are. if you ar

societies apart and causing ethnic violence around the world. rosalind jordan found this update from washington dc. the return to service for customers. really just, it's just random. some people are getting their instagram back. some people are getting their what's up back, and i think we have to look back at the chief technology officers of statement on twitter that teams are trying to reconnect network connections. and so there's no rhyme or reason as to whoa, when people are going to get their access back to their accounts. but it does appear, at least at this point, that as far as facebook is concerned, they're nothing nefarious has happened. now that doesn't mean that something nefarious hasn't happened, but simply that facebook is blaming this simply on the fact that something technological wasn't working. this comes down to whether or not facebook has been taking advantage or abusing. as critics would say, it's power because it is perhaps the most prolific social media company in the world of the there's been a this link to was the, to the press about how people working inside. facebook kn

he's joining us from washington dc. so let's talk a little bit more about what biden is getting, alan, and what he's not getting was a busy day on capitol hill. joe biden has been up there speaking to congressional republicans. he's now back here in the white house, obviously packing before his trip to room. and when asked if he was happy, he says it's a good day. so he obviously thinks that the deal there can be done. and he's confident enough that he's going to make some remarks on these from the white house, probably in the next half hour or so before he heads off to rome. he believes that he's got a good deal is going to expand medicaid, as you've said, is going to improve as schooling for children is going to improve elder care across the united states as well. and he believes that with the tax credits they'll get under the climate change part of the bill that will boost manufacturing here in the united states. what isn't he getting? well, there's no action of prescription charges. the simply didn't of the votes to
