how bad it was going to get. for some reason with this variant, we ve seen in european countries how it has worked differently. it s not the same in each of those countries and it s hit them differently. it s possible that we could see, and you heard the doj say they won t do it if the cdc wants them to. this kind of thing is right now in the cdc s corner, and it s about preserving the power of the department. that is something that folks i ve talked to continue to say that they want to make sure that the cdc in the future has the authority to do things like masks, if there is some kind of other public health emergency. but if there is an appeal, and they lose, they could possibly chip away at some of that. there s a conversation happening in the administration about what are the down falls if we do lose this, and how does that affect the ability of the cdc moving forward. eugene daniels at the white house, as always, thank you so much. it s great seeing you. talk to you tomorrow.
for a lovely sunday afternoon. and in this context, the spanish prime minister has joined a conversation happening in some political capitals, where he has said that it s time to begin to think about moving off the pandemic mentality, that governments would apply emergency measures against the coronavirus, to considering it an endemic, sympaomething that going to be around like the flu. he said this is not going to happen immediately. the president of portugal has also talked about this, where there s also a very high vaccination rate, but the prime minister says that clearly, with the balance between health measures and the economy and jobs, these are things that need to be considered and it s not just happening in europe, but also in other parts of the world. w.h.o officials are saying, not so fast. it s too quick, because not enough parts of the world have high vaccination rates. africa, right near here, has low rates, and it needs to go much more slowly. paula? yeah. a lot to co
media protesters and then some. ottawa the capital the protesters there outnumber the police. it s a resource issue. that s a conversation happening in this country. here at this scene the police now completely outnumber the protests and the journalists. as you look at this crowd on the sidewalk, you can see about half of them are journalists. these are protesters here and as you make your way down and we get closer and closer to the police line and you ll get to this group of journalists. little bit confounding why we re still here and why we re still able to stand in the middle of this road because this is a major thoroughfare and you hav money being lost. this now has been going on for a week, alex. yeah.
it is getting quieter, which is a reflection i think of the wider movement of people, wider scale of people looking to escape the violence, people who have decided to stay i think i ve done so. but it is very quiet. less conversation happening. people are in a strange routine out ofjust sleeping, not looking more than an hour ahead, i think, is a common coping strategy, and not looking at tomorrow, next week, because it can change like that. we have had 2a hours of relative quiet. that lifts morale. people could go upstairs, get some natural light, move around, go for a walk. take the kids to let off steam. but that can change quickly the moment shells start to fall and you have the rumble, the occasional explosion that gets closer, the
bannon is a easy target versus someone who is on the fringe ala steve bannon? what makes bannon an easier target is not his particular political opinions or where he s situated on the political spectrum but the fact the arguments he and trump would be able to make regarding executive privilege are so incredibly 10 tenuous in his case. the only reason bannon would be able to level why he couldn t testify is this idea of executive privilege, that presidents have a right to have secret conversations with their advisers. but the idea executive privilege would cover a conversation between somebody who no longer is president with somebody who was a podcaster and not an executive branch official within any time soon of that conversation happening is part of the reason this is a particularly easy move for the
