Analysts say thats much higher than usual and mehmet oz, the republican nominee for senate in pennsylvania making some news today for supporting one of president bidens recent somewhat controversial actions, the pardoning of people convicted of federal Marijuana Possession so you support the president s move there.

The election just 25 days away trouble across the pond. A top finance official fired and a sharp uturn from the Prime Minister on her economic policy. Is she now in danger of being ousted wilfred frost joins us from outside 10 downing and china cracking down on protests as it prepares for one of its biggest political events and its president prepares to lock in a historic third term. His plan to tighten his grip on the country when we go live to beijing. Liz truss facing a crisis. She sacked her finance minister, a close friend, and hes the second shortest serving chancellor in modern uk history. She fired kwarteng after he made public remarks hes absolutely not going anywhere he insisted hed still have his role next month. Truss also abruptly scrapped a part of a controversial plan to cut corporate taxes. One of her top Campaign Promises three weeks ago when she rolled it out markets plunged the News Conference lasted eight minutes and took four questions. In that time she defended herself and tried to reassure her conservative party that shes still in control i have acted decisively today because my priority is ensuring our countrys economic stability. I want to be honest. This is difficult. But we will get through this storm. The walls appear to be closing in on truss. According to the times. Qwarteng thys shes be ousted in a few weeks. Do you think she can survive well, she definitely could survive it but make no mistake about it, all of those changes you outlined came from a position of desper rate weakness for the new Prime Minister and strangely for someone in office for just 38 days, things are now out of her control shes at the mercy of the markets and at the mercy of her own mp something that can happen years into a prix mirship but never happened this soong and even at the mercy of her new finance minister because she could not survive having to fire another one so she has to go with whatever he comes up with and has to hope he starts to command the respect of markets and her mps again. So whats in place of the mini budget . Has she now articulated any clearer vision on how to boost the economy . Well, not in the short term and Economic Vision over the summer was clear, it was one of tax cuts, even if that meant funding it by borrowing, even during a time when rates were rising and the markets unceremoniously rejected that. Rejected socalled trussonomics. It feels like the approach will be a desperate attempt to regain credibility. What might be interesting to see in the months ahead, kayla, is whether voters continue to remember what has just happened. Will a politician at the next election be rewarded for saying, were going to spend less and tax more because its sensible of course, on both sides of the atlantic that hasnt been the norm for the last decade its been throw money at the problem from both governments and the central bank that has ended here in the uk in the short term at least. The credibility question was going to be my next one on both sides of the atlantic because from talking to Administration Officials here in washington, the moves that she had announced were met with confusion and displeasure so how much credibility has the ukand has the conservative party lost in this whole ordeal . I mean an enormous amount the conservative party meant to be known for strong economic handling sees its polls this week in the low 20s whilst is above 50 and big lead and terrible outlook for the conservative party for the country as a whole clearly the Economic Outlook has worsened the recession was coming anyway. Interest rates were coming up. Going up anyway but it has worsened in terms of the image of the country its all a bit embarrassing the chance to return early from the imf to be fired. The Prime Minister clinging on 38 days into her premiership when we only got rid of the previous Prime Minister in rather embarrassing fashion. I should be asking you what the image is of our country at the moment but i dont really want to hear the answer so i wont. Wilfred frost, you will be burning a lot of midnight oil for us, i have a sense of that we appreciate it thank you. China is americas most consequential geopolitical challenge. That from National Security adviser Jake Sullivan in a speech earlier this week the comments part of a larger Foreign Policy shift focusing on the threats posed by china and russia but while sullivan identified china as the United States most consequential competitor he said the Biden Administration is not looking for a new cold war with our largest trading partner. Sullivan says the administration wants to engage constructively with china as they are set to hold one of the most political pivotal events, the National Congress set to propel chinese president xi jinping into a third term with the reaction heres eunice y yoon reporter theyre preparing for the most highprofile event. Security around the capital is what officials described as iron fist tight for the weeklong 20th congress of the Chinese Communist party when the world will find out who governs this country for the next five years. Xi jinping has been the general secretary for two fiveyear terms expected to break modern precedent here and stay in charge for a third president xi is expected to emerge with greater power than he already has, thats despite tremendous problems facing china today, a severe economic downturn and troubled relationship with the u. S. But with xi in control chinas hardline approach is unlikely to change. Ahead of the congress his Outgoing Team praised their boss policy including zero covid. What they described as his allout war to bring infections near zero with relentless testing and snap lockdowns amid this orchestrated event, video surfaced online of a protest to xi jinpings rule two banners unfurled on a beijing bridge in smoke. We dont want covid tests, we want food, this one reads. The other urges to depose the dictator today police tightly patrolled the bridge after clearing any sign of the rare show of public frustration with xi jinping and where hes taking china security guards have been stationed at several bridges around the city this morning the authorities here are so sensitive about the potential for protests, that online even the word beijing is being censured kayla. Eunice yoon youll be there for us, we appreciate it. Americas railloads and Union Leaders narrowly averted a crippling shutdown one month ago reaching a lastminute deal to provide raising and Scheduling Flexibility but still needed signoff from the workers themselves some of whom this week said its not good enough. One Union Rejected the deal saying it doesnt do enough to improve quality of life now that bmwe is enlisting members of congress to help lobby the railcariers to improve the terms. A rep says, it is our intention to reach a negotiated deal that addresses our memberships concerns but its a tango and we need a willing partner perhaps its not surprising that theres backlash when you learn what the workers wanted. They proposed 15 days of paid leave according to a source familiar with the talks. The final agreement included just one there are now five unions still to vote, one representing machinists, also rejected the biden brokered deal and negotiated a new one, the vote on that november 5th and the two biggest unions representing about half of rail workers, theyll have their say on november 17th as for another strike, members of unions that havent signed on by november 19th can walk out of the job. Just as the Holiday Shipping crush looms. Prosecutors in the parkland shooter trial want one of the jurors interviewed by police what happened during deliberations that could be considered a crime.

Family and friends say the two kids were hanging out at a nearbys childrens park and were on their way home and say its the closest playground to the shelter where they had lived for a year cops are asking anybody with information to come forward. Just hours after a jury in florida recommended a life sentence for the Parkland School shooter, a woman on the jury accused one of her fellow jurors of threatening her during deliberations. Now prosecutors calling the case theyre calling for an investigation. In a hearing today they said theyre not trying to overturn yesterdays verdict, but that they filed the potion because of safety issues. In a court filing they say the woman called their office after the verdict yesterday. They say she told a staff member she received what she perceived to be a threat from a fellow juror while in the jury room the filing did not say what the specific threat was. The judge said the Sheriffs Office instead of the court can look into what happened. Jurors on the case say they voted 93 for the shooters execution but a vote for the death sentence has to be unanimous so we he faces life without parole. Over the past two years Health Officials have been warning about a socalled twindemic. A down whammy of covid and the flu. It never panned out but this year experts say the flu season could be a bad one and the cdc released this map today that shows flu cases are especially high in the south and the southeast. See the red states also rising in d. C. And across the new york city area cdc director dr. Rochelle walensky told nbc news why she and other Health Officials are worried.
