the u.s. officials would be sanctioned those specific u.s. officials were actually mentioned in all of this which is fairly interesting that they didn't list any individual so i wonder if this is not a bit of a bluff. you come out and you make these statements with only what 2 days until you have a new administration sworn in you know president elect biden will become president on wednesday and what does that mean what means that your entire administration is about to turn over so the fact of the chinese did not name names indicates to me that what they're saying is in preparation for the next administration that's incoming we're going to let you know right now that if you continue these policies and if you continue to deal directly with taiwan instead of going through us if you reverse course on this one china policy that as i said has been in fact in decades and that's not to defend the policy by the way it's just been in effect for decades if you were to say if you can decide you're going to continue to do this by the administration then w

if the u.s. is unable to exercise leadership, unable to think about the buy america debate -- i think it can be lost. i think they can be pushed in a better direction and it is clearly the administration and the country that is better positioned to do that. carla: as an ambassador, zanny has brought you an opportunity here to say that our allies and more people than that in the world are still yearning for american leadership. what do you tell biden about that, where do you tell them to start, and how do you tell them how to calibrate it? i think you are still muted. ivo: i don't disagree that this outcome of the election is far preferable than the alternative, and indeed the alternative would have put a period and an end to an era in a way that biden's election and the team he is bringing along offers an opportunity to an alternative course. it is one to be very hard, in part because yes, the allies, and again, the western democracies are your earning for an america that is normal again -- that

in the u.s. filed that big antitrust lawsuit against google over what they say is the company's anti-competitive practices f.t.c. did the same thing with facebook so you know all these folks say we need some guidelines we can't let social media companies politicians whoever regulate who gets to say what when we're having such divisive results and it looks like a will from the past we've talked about it before they have been fine and they've have had to pay these big fines in several countries in the european union now have any of them actually confirmed they will be attending the hearing. no nobody is confirmed that yet and in fact nobody is necessarily expecting them to come i think it was just one of those invitations to say we're putting you on notice we would love to hear from you this is your chance to weigh in we're going to be talking about it we're going to be implementing some rules whether you're here or not we sure would like to hear from you about your business practices and some of t

the u.s. passing another milestone in the year-long struggle against covid. total infections exceeded 25 million. about 8% of the total population. a slowing confusing vaccine rollout has frustrated billions of people prompting the biden administration to promise to accelerate the pace. what are we expecting to hear from today's white house meeting with a bipartisan group of senators on the biden relief plan? >> that meeting will be closed to the press but we will get readouts. if anything, republicans like the $1.9 trillion proposal. they want the effort to be paired down and focused more on the neediest cases. that would be some help to those that are unemployed and a shoring up of the vaccination program. we heard from mitt romney today who said that if you get the vaccination program running and you cut down on the coronavirus cases, than the economy will come along on its own merits. this is more of a mainstream republican view and i think that is what the white house economic direct air

u.s. should abide by the one china principle and stop deeds that interfere in china's internal affairs and undermine china u.s. relations. which has fallen to their lowest points in 30 years. the current situation in china u.s. relations is not what china decides to see and the u.s. is completely responsible for all of this. the chinese citizens only to see the chinese communist party support our free and open society following a 4 year freefall and by the to retire there will be left to biden to decide where to steer this cell which relationship. joining us now from beijing is correspondent berlinger how has china reacted to the new president taking office in the u.s. . been very careful for now and has not been out and with the asked about the new president as many other countries in the world yesterday during the inauguration china has done something very interesting that has sanctions big number of high officials in the trump administration who are most at the to china and is said hous

and that the u.s. is a giant but a giant with feet of clay well. thanks for that update moving on now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world north korean leader kim jung un is threatening to build more nuclear weapons he said the u.s. is north korea's biggest enemy and that pyongyang has relationship with the united states depends on whether it abandons its hostile policies the threat of presents a tough challenge for the incoming by the right a strange ride police in chile have used water cannon and tear gas against protesters who took to the streets for the latest round of demonstrations in the capital something protesters have been demanding pension health care and education reforms in the country. once again germany has registered more than a 1000 coronavirus deaths in 24 hours the country's slow vaccine rollout is coming under increasing fire some predictions in german media claim if the inoculation drive continues at the current pace herd immunity won't be reached in germany until 2027. now brightcove cove

u.s. president joe biden has made a commitment to vaccinate millions more americans sooner than previously anticipated biden said the vaccine program he inherited is in worse shape than expected he's now announced the purchase of an additional 200000000 doses of the pfizer and madonna shelfs after a review of the current vaccine supply in manufacturing plants i can announce that we will increase overall weekly vaccination distributions the states tribes and territories from 8600000 doses to a minimum of $10000000.00 doses starting next week that's an increase of $1400000.00 doses per week and you all know if i may say no parent that agree you all know know that the vaccines are distributed states based on population based on population and so the smaller the state the less vaccine the bigger the state the more they get and so this goal are millions of more americans to get vaccinated sooner than previously anticipated u.s. senators have been sworn in as jurors in former president donald tr

does the u.s. actually have another enough vaccine to give everyone two shots amid this new push by the biden administration >> well, not yet, but we will, remember, johnson & johnson, the third vaccine, the one that only takes one shot that may be coming on in a week, expected to be applying for emergency authorization then that's another 100 million, and with the 200 million being delivered this summer, the president saying that will be enough for shots, two shots for every one in the united states who wants one. it's just a matter of timing it's going to take them a while to produce the original shots won't all be ready until june, and then this new batch that they're ordering perhaps sometime later in the summer. >> tracie, timing and that phrase you mentioned, who wants one. tracie potts, live from d.c., thank you very much. >>> back to the markets now. what could really be another busy day ahead as we mentioned, several megacap companies announcing earnings, david versus goe liath trade. let'

it is not just the u.s. navy but the u.s. merchant navy, with a large u.s. navy to protect it, that is scaring the british. they think the united states is taking advantage of the situation to apply its influence and its take a leading position in the world affairs, almost to the point where the u.s. is beginning to act a bit like they are. while this is true, the united states the big winner of the world war one is the united states of america. this lecture highlights why that is the case. these are that they mix that concern british policy makers. here are the troublemakers on the american size, would grow wilson and he is barking from position of strength. he has the 14 points. he is going to uses bake navy to apply pressure to the british to agree to his program, outlined in the 14 point so that the war to end all wars is award and all wars based on an american plan for a new international border. next to him or his cohorts, let's see if i can get this -- that is joe daniels. some people don't think so, i'm a firm believer that it is. i'm in the navy so

u.s. senators have been sworn in as jurors in former president donald trump's 2nd senate impeachment trial he's accused of inciting violence at the capitol building earlier this month but as hadija castro reports there is little republican support for trump's conviction. you know do impartial justice of court of the constitution and laws so help you guard shortly after senators took oath to convene the court of impeachment against defendant donald trump accused of inciting an insurrection a test vote on how the chamber may decide the case in february it came at the request of republican senator rand paul a trump ally who argued the trial should and before it even begins because trump is no longer in office this proceeding which would try a private citizen and not a president a vice president or civil officer violates the constitution democrats called that argument ludicrous the theory that the impeachment of a former official is unconstitutional is flat out wrong by every frame of analysis

the u.s. is expected to have its troop levels in afghanistan to 2500 this month incoming administration will oversee the lowest military presence in what span america's longest war but with uncertainty over peace talks and an increase in violence there are fears the move could further destabilize afghanistan contre 40 reports from kabul. it's america's longest war longer even than vietnam but it could now be approaching him and for afghanistan however it could just be the beginning of even more uncertain times the pullout of u.s. troops has raised fears that without a peace deal between the taliban and the afghan government in place there will be even more violence you already reaps he defines there because as we speak there is fighting going on inside kandahar city district 8 or 9 so the taliban are now moving from rural areas to urban warfare and that means the african forces are now fighting the taliban in fact the city is now or the city outskirts the american soldiers who remain in afghan

will we see the u.s. and europe aligned to take on china to ensure there is perhaps not a standout winner going forward? sharyn: there will definitely be a push korea open, if you will -- to reopen, if you will, transatlantic partnership said that will focus on the eu. the u.s. may start coming up with different alliances with the u.k. in particular where there is compatibility. i anticipate that biden has a limited trade agenda for the first couple years but if there are areas where they will make headway it will be in those two areas. there may be some discussion that goes out for sort of revisiting the comprehensive progressive agreement on transpacific partnership. that was dead in the water for a while. now that we have these imbalances again with china, attacking china, using the approach for multilateral trade agreements, they may go forward but i don't see biden doing that in the first two years of his term. joe: he has a full agenda that he seems to be trying to get up and running even before he

u.s. markets. >>ic tell you a lot of the europe underperformance was due to sector composition, and the u.s. market was helped a lot by the strength of the tech market, the dominant sector, and europe was not able to compete simply because it doesn't have as much tech as the u.s. has we do think europe should leading the recovery just simply because the effect, one of the most benefitting, regimens from the vaccine deployment the economy that we expect to be fairly strong in europe, and that should somewhat, you know, help sentiment to come back. so we think that is the case for europe, and equities to catch up with the u.s. from a positioning standpoint, from a valuation standpoint, we do find them quite attractive, and on top of that, the economy does rebound as we expect, europe should be a prime beneficiary of an improving sentiment. this can bottom up support with more business action activity, m and a which could make it a relevant part of the market for global investors. >> certainl

now the u.s. congress is set for some new faces with a new session set to start in a few hours the democrats kept control of the house of represent of the house of representatives in november the balance of power in the senate is set to be decided in runoff elections in georgia on tuesday scott lucas is a professor at birmingham university and co-founder of america unfiltered that's a news and analysis site on american politics and foreign policy and he thinks the u.s. politics is entering a turbulent week. today is just simply that the new members of the house and the senate will be sworn in to take their seats and there are quite a few of them from both parties but there really is nothing of substance today the fireworks start in the next 72 hours on tuesday we have these 2 vital run offs for senate seats in georgia that will determine whether republicans or democrats have a slim majority in that upper chamber and then on wednesday what should be a straightforward process to confirm joe biden as

and china the u.s. has some major issues with china and right now the u.s. wants to hurt china so badly that they're going to hurt america in trying to hurt while way and that's really a shame it is and right now the trumpet ministration is trying to move forward with these chip regulations to block shipments from the world's largest contract chip maker taiwan t.s.m. c. and that's always one of big always biggest chip suppliers so it's all even prepared for something like this to happen there we've been very working very hard on the so-called plan b. i got back from some very intense meetings in china more than 2 weeks ago and saw the progress that we're making right now we're selling our 5 g. equipment around the world with no american components as you may know more than nearly 300 american companies want to sell the water we spent over 11000000000 dollars last year this can impact 40000 american jobs directly so these jobs are on the line if america decides for some unknown reason they're not going to allow american companies to sell the wall which would

the u.s. director of national intelligence is the latest official to point the finger at russia over a massive hacking attack president trump has downplayed the attack and trying to shift the blame away from russia cable and on to has more from washington d.c. . this is really a definitive statement by the wider intelligence community pointing the finger directly at russia the statement says that it is in their words quote likely that russia was the origin of this attack and they said it was a serious compromise that that will require a sustained and dedicated effort to remediate the statement also said that the purpose of the attack according to the intelligence agencies in the u.s. was not to bring down computer systems in america but rather to just intelligence gather and to get intelligence and they believe that was the purpose of this attack now this is a significant statement because it comes from 4 different key government agencies the u.s. director of national intelligence but also who

the u.s. says it's still committed to a negotiated settlement with the taliban in afghanistan the biden the ministration i said it in review its predecessor as landmark deal signed with a group pentagon spokesman john kirby says there must be a rational end to the war in the country we are still involved in trying to get a negotiated settlement the taliban have not met their commitments. as you know there is a looming deadline of early may that that is before everybody in terms of you know wanting to have. the suit the solution here but without them meeting their commitments to renounce terrorism and to. stop the violent attacks on the afghan national security forces and you know by dint of that the afghan people it's very hard to see. a specific way forward for the negotiators only but we're still committed to that. lots more still to come here now jazeera including. that another man it is considered a very good fortune for the chinese during the noon here but i'm going to report about these

in the u.s. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell has said that he looks forward to working with president biden whenever possible he also said that he if there will be disagreements they he looks forward to them being disrespectful disagreements of course joe biden you know he he has said that he believes that he understands the senate that he's a deal maker at heart and that he can get beyond these contentious politics and that exist in america right now do you think that will be the case is biden so well studied in the ways of the senate that he can reach across the aisle effectively and get legislation passed right now. well the very reason i thought joe biden was going to be the best person for this job is because of his experience in the senate as well as in the role of vice president frankly i mean there's nobody else that has this much experience on day one he is not right now sort of sitting in the oval office relishing just the view like 4 of many former presidents did you know just
