It is like putting a really tiny band—aid on a giant, gaping, bleeding wound. joe biden came into office vowing to restore americas position as a leader in global health. but this isnt something the us can do alone, hence we can expect some major arm—twisting when the leaders of the g7 industrialised nations come together next week in the uk. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. big crowds will be allowed back at organised outdoor events in wales from monday, as part of a further easing of c...

Trump happy is his best path back to power. so mcconnell will vote against having a bipartisan investigation of the capitol insurrection, and he expects most senate republicans to follow the leader and vote no as well. >> are you concerned about losing ten republicans on the january 6th vote? are you working your members to vote against it, lobbying them? >> ive made my position clear, finally you heard from leader mcconnell there, cnn special correspondent jamie gangel is here with us. jamie? >...

Also sort of distanced herself from how mcconnell said he was in total coordination with the white house. but certainly by far lisa murkowski is the plomost explic of the criticism. she was candid about how she saw or how concerning she found president trumps phone call with the ukrainian leader. shes been a wild card for us to watch for some time now. just a little bit about her history, she has a fiercely independent streak. shes not someone prone to arm twisting by senate party leadership. sh...

Came, there was a lot of politicking and debate. you think about to immigration, over spending, over war, over the financial crisis, over keeping government open. i was a former congressional reporter so i was down on the hill to see what was the mood like yesterday on the hill? unlike many of those other votes when the debate was going up and there was arm twisting going on, sometimes the floor itself during the debate, yesterday it was totally a foregone conclusion. im reminded of things like ...

At the same point in time doing what he was elected to do. never have a conversation without him that he doesnt talk about what he wants to do for the people of america. when you see that thats his passion. not only fight against the injustice the democrats are doing but fight for the people who actually elected him. steve: you know, mr. collins, the voting sequence, they will vote on the articles of impeachment. then, essentially they are going to vote for usmca. which seems a little suspicious...

Forcefully represented no member of the house of representatives and no member of the press was targeted with any investigative resources. >> oh, thats -- really? i mean, i respect mr. raskin but im not even sure he got that statement out without stumbling over everything. i know they want to gloss over how they did their investigation because the time and the calendar are terrible masters. i have repeated over and over. they wouldnt even talk about. to say that nobody was doing this intentional...
