the senate. but senator manchin is saying uncle. you have twisted my arm. the question now may be what about biden and the house with progressives where he has, you know, less institutional knowledge. absolutely less institutional knowledge. this has been bubbling and boiling since the primary campaign, frankly. and democrats have largely remained united usually in opposition to republicans. there are deep divisions. one thing that is giving some cause for optimism is the fear of failure. they do not want to fail and get absolutely nothing. they know what s coming next year likely. this is a tough midterm election year. i think there is still a path to getting an infrastructure deal done in a small reconciliation bill. i wouldn t bet the farm on it either. president biden is limited in the twisting of arms.
and also, they all stand to be exposed to more risk, politically, if this goes down and biden s approval rating tumbles even further. so my assumption has been that they always find a way, in the end, do this. and you wouldn t bet against nancy pelosi based on her track record. boy, they are taking it down to the wire. right. and of course, you as she s always said, she won t bring a bill forward unless she s got the votes and she doesn t think she has for infrastructure. so you are feeling that there will be all this venting but eventually they will come onto this the same page because i mean, presidents president biden s agenda is really struggling to survive right now, isn t it? right. i mean, look. i mean, there is there is an ahistoric degree of difficulty here. i mean, the the reconciliation bill, in particular, the 3.5 trillion even after it s scaled back, that has been described as the great society in a single bill. it does everything from universal pre-k to free
and you wouldn t bet against him making it either. thanks for watching, see you soon. there are some changes to the weather towards the end of this week, certainly through the second part of the weekend, but it looks like for the time being our area of high pressure is going to bring a lot of dry and settled but rather cloudy and dull weather with occasional drizzle across the eastern areas and any sunny spells for western areas. this area of high pressure is parked itself across the north west of the uk allowing cloud to streaming from the north, north east, of the north sea. central and eastern areas will hold on to the thickest of the cloud tonight and the odd spot of drizzle. a few clear spell south and west, could see clear skies across central, western scotland and it will be quite chilly and one or two
but, no, it all comes| to a good conclusion. i guess for tokyo, the target is coming home with two golds. that s definitely the plan, yeah. i mean, currently, there s no reason why i can t do that. and i always think if you re going to go for anything, why would it not be gold? so, yeah, that s what i would like, but we ll see what happens. she s been looking strong this year, retaining her 400 metre british champion title injune. you certainly wouldn t bet against her achieving those golden goals. cockroft taking this one! sally hurst, bbc news. yeah, got to love the kit trying on videos! staying with the paralympics, and dame sarah storey says she s as excited as ever as she heads off to her eighth games. if the 14 time gold medallist manages to defend her three titles in cycling s individual pursuit, time trial and road race, she will become the most successful british paralympian of all time. but does that legacy bring extra pressure? certainly on the morning of the race, you have
caucus greed on a budget framework. democrats give yourself a few days to admire all that is being accomplished for a change, yes, take yes for an answer. there may be more doubt now that we re hearing from the nine democrats saying we want the infrastructure package to pass through the house before we look at this massive budget but there will always be hand wringing as you write. yes. i mention this possibility in the column and i go back to jonathan lemire s words. i wouldn t bet too much money against nancy pelosi, who has demonstrated over the years that she s pretty good at counting votes, at getting votes, and the way she does it is by dealing very directly and pretty well with all the various caucuses in
