brokered right about to hold elections and unify the country after years of war. matric used to be systematic and premeditated killings amnesty international releases a report on the crackdown on and he can protest. but chief justice protesters in argentina demand on cisse into the death of football star diego maradona who died last year after a heart attack. so it is a stimulus plan that u.s. president joe biden says will give millions of americans a fighting chance the house of representatives has approved a $1.00 trillion dollars they've had 19 relief bill it is one of the country's largest economic relief packages an official has more now from washington d.c. . if you're going to applaud the house deliver joe biden's twice significant victory as president a $1.00 trillion dollar corporate relief bill and all done without a single republican vote in support. this is a momentous day in the history of our country because we have passed historic consequential and transformative legislation thanks goes to the senators who are standing here are great committee chairs and all of our senators who pulled together as one unit beating back killer amendments making sure the bill was as strong as possible the bill has overwhelming support across the country 61 percent approval but republicans claim it spends far too much and delivers far too little we are here today mr speaker because democrats made a choice. i choice to put their own partisan political ambitions ahead of the needs of the working class the deal delivers $1400.00 stimulus checks to every qualifying american targeted mainly at lower incomes there's 350000000000 dollars for states cities and tribal governments 130000000000 for schools 40000000000 for further education and 50000000000 in relief for small businesses the package was a big pre-election promise from biden he wanted to do it with republican support but was happy to push on without it. everything in the american rescue plan addresses a real need including investments to fund our entire vaccination effort more vaccines more vaccinate tours and more vaccination sites millions more americans will get tested including home testing schools will soon have the funding and resources to reopen safely a national imperative biden is expected to sign the bill when it hits his desk on friday the administration says the 1st checks could start going out soon with many people receiving their money before the end of the month alan fischer al-jazeera washington let's bring in matt cloyd asama she is an economist who was previously on the white house council of economic advisors and is currently the senior fellow at the family in-situ joins us from washington d.c. claudia welcome to the program said this is a new and no doubt welcome round of a to americans how important is it. right is very important so when president biden signs us into law on friday it will be historic it is absolutely needed it is one year ago from tomorrow march 11th that the bottom fell out in the united states tragically we are still in a pandemic we are still losing loved ones every day and we are 9 and a half 1000000 jobs short of where we were last february before cove it came it is the massive injection of dollars in a very short time is that maybe 2 trillion dollars how much of a risk is the president taking had there off is on the size of stimulus is too much and could end up having a negative effect on the economy. that's right so this is another 2 trillion dollars after 4 trillion dollars last year this is real money and it makes sense that we are having a robust debate and yet what we have learned what the democrats have learned is that going to small can be disastrous this relief package is the kind of forceful push to a real recovery for everyone that we needed in 20122013 we didn't get it and yes there are risks yes the economy could we could really push it and we might see some inflation but it's really really harmful if it takes years for people to get back to work at their families back on track and to no fault of their own that this pandemic showed up what should we watch out for and how quickly move will be able to assess whether it's worked or not. well the 1st thing is we need to make sure that when people go back to work when they go back out shopping they are safe we are in a very tricky place right now we're putting out hundreds of billions of dollars into people's pockets which is absolutely needed and what if we get people out and they get covert and they get sick and they died like this will not be good so we need to stay the course and as president biden has always emphasized we've got to get the vaccine so we've got to get safe and then and we need to make sure when workers come back that they are coming back in a safe workplace right and that that i think will be the trickiest thing that we have to deal with in the coming months and after that it's really let the american people decide what they need to do for their families with that extra money a little bit extra buffer isn't going to hurt anything so but what i will say we just don't know right into the whole last year has been $1.00 unbelievable event after another last year they've been pretty bad and i think we're seeing a turn for the better but it's going to be a bumpy ride we've got to we've got to hold on and stick together yeah but you're right indeed this lot of criticism out there is no especially obviously from the republican see it said that the bill black is rigged was present. you know like i said we need to have a robust debate i am not an elected official they are they are the stewards of taxpayers' dollars i strongly disagree with the many of the criticisms of the bill there is so much need out there half of us families lost money from employment last year our social safety net is not what it should be in this country so we needed to get money out to a lot of different people we need it for families and the unemployed in communities and small businesses and you can't reach out to all those groups in a meaningful way unless you go big it adds up so i hear them and i do feel like the democrats really kick the tires and try to figure out is this really what we need to be doing and they came down on the side of yes let's get it go on but i can understand the other side i just disagree with it hard claudia's them appreciate your perspective on this thanks very much indeed for joining us here in our you know thank you. here is it sector state says that washington plans to take further action against those responsible for human rights violations in hong kong the warning for monday blinken comes ahead of a planned meeting next week with top chinese government officials he says he'll be laying out his concerns on a range of issues including the enforcement of a controversial security law in hong kong and china's treatment of ethnic minorities. i think it would be very important if china claims that there is nothing going on that it give access to the international community to the united nations if they have nothing to hide show it to us show show the world and so we'll be calling for that and then i think there are series of practical things that are very very important for example we should make sure that we are not exporting and others are not exporting to china any products that can be used for the repression of their people and their minorities similarly we shouldn't be bringing into this country products that are created by forced labor
