ahead with. sojoe biden for some time has taken a rather different stance on that, and i wasn t that surprised by his speech from the white house last night, which was perhaps a bit cold, that did surprise me, because this is a man who has made his name is sympathiser in chief, a publicly motor, and he was quite cold about the reality of the calculations he is very happy to admit that he has made. at the fact of the calculations does not surprise me at all. america, i spent last year in america reporting on the presidential election, and voters of all hues are fed up of what they call the forever war there. so it s not at all a surprise to me thatjoe biden who does have a very good earfor where to me thatjoe biden who does have a very good ear for where the centre of the american public is, you know, is basically declaring america out of the sort of worries that they
many people have had double vaccination, or at least a single vaccination, and where there s very low take up. sojoe biden s work is actually convincing a significant chunk of the population to get at least one shot. so it s a slightly different situation than here in britain, where we were all rushing, waiting for our phones to ping, going back to january, saying, oh, it s your turn. you know, i m up the road, jab me. in america, it s entirely different. thank you all very much. we will see. 0nlyjust a few days to go and it will be interesting to see what the reaction is after a few days when we are back with dateline, same time next week. now, one country saw peaceful but revolutionary change. in the other, it was by force of arms. cuba and south africa do have something in common the political organisation that wrought the change is still in charge. and this week, they ve both been consumed by widespread violent protest. james, let s talk about
