repercussions for u.s./china relations. can the two powers recover from this new low? is this the start of a cold war? i ve got the experts on it all. also justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more. america kills a leader of al qaeda, once again. so just what is the state of terrorism today? how big is the threat to the west? but first, here s my take. the world s two most powerful nations find themselves in a hair-raising crisis that could spill into military conflict. and the strangest aspect of all this is how predictable it was. taiwan s status has long been known as the most sensitive issue for both the united states and china, one that has been carefully managed for five decades, and nancy pelosi had signaled her desire to go to taiwan months ago. but on the american side, a series of errors, many of them tactical and driven by domestic politics, have resulted in a dangerous reality. there is no serious working relationship between the 21st
already big changes are being made to the bill s final form. let s get right to cnn s manu raju live on capitol hill. manu, walk us through the process. reporter: democrats are trying to get to final passage of this bill after this marathon voting session that started at 11:30 p.m. eastern time last night. it is still ongoing. there have not been any breaks. it s unclear exactly how this is going to play out because there has been some last-minute drama that s affected senate democrats ability to get to final passage, this dealing with the issue of the corporate minimum tax, a 15% tax that would be imposed on businesses with more than $1 billion in income. that is a central component in this bill that would help pay for a number of the provisions dealing with health care and climate change, energy issues and the like. but there has been some concerns from senator kyrsten sinema about the 15% corporate minimum tax and its impact on some businesses that may make less than $1

the streets, abortion rights advocates holding protests across the nation but for antiabortion activists, jubilation. the supreme court ruling there is no constitutional right for a woman to have an abortion. at least 26 states are either poised to or have already banned abortion. cnn has reporters covering this massive shift in laws across the country. alexandra field is in missouri. nadia romero is in mississippi, the state which brought the case which ultimately ended federal abortion protections. nadia, what s the reaction there and where are you exactly? reporter: fred, we are in jackson, mississippi, outside of the last abortion clinic in the state. for some people this is a place of refuge. for others, this is a site of pure evil where evil things take place. that s what we re hearing. and you hear those two sides of the roe v. wade thing being played out here on the street corner, you see these two gentlemen having a heated conversation. this is mild compared to wha
just in the nomination process, essentially they re to get all 50 senate democrats here. we re looking for them to start this whole process in a matter of hours. the big question mark is when exactly will they do that. we don t quite know. they re waiting on a couple of things. you mentioned the senate parliamentarian. they re using a specialized budget process to move forward. they only need democratic senate support to get it through the senate but in order to use that process they have to make sure, they have to go through the parlia parliamentarian to finish. so they re waiting on a few more rulings from her and also waiting from the congressional budget office on how much some of these provisions will cost and how they will affect the deficit. once they have all that have in place, senate democrats can feel comfortable with a motion to proceed, which is essentially the first vote to kick off what is a very long and tedious process to get this across the finish line. once
