Federal investigators raid the home and office of Rudy Giuliani the 1st of a lawyer of former president donald trump. The british Prime Minister under investigation hes accused of using donations to upgrade his doning street residence. Turning peril into possibility and crisis into opportunity thats the message u. S. President joe biden is expected to deliver to congress in the coming hours on the eve of his 100th day in office hes expected to tout the countrys recovery in that time despite facing the pandemic and severe economic and political crises are also likely he will also likely unveil a 1. 00 trillion dollars package focusing on education and child care our White House Correspondent Kelly Hockett is joining us from capitol hill so the president due to speak in about an hours time can really talk us through what we should expect. Yeah the message is really going to be that in the view of joe biden the us president that america is on the move again and has a birth from twin crises not only the pandemic and how that hit people with respect to their health but also the economic pain that many felt millions losing their jobs as a result of that crisis so hes going to make the argument that government can be a force for good and to that end the argument hell be making is that many of the spending packages that he has proposed are going to have a Significant Impact on american lives not just that 1. 00 trillion dollars package you talked about there just a moment ago with it will offer child care and Free Education but also how he plans to create jobs an infrastructure plan that will build americas crumbling infrastructure and create work for millions of Americans Union jobs that will have benefits and high wages he also is expected to talk about how he will pay for all of this that there will be taxes on corporations as well as high income earners the goal of joe bidens speech is really to show that democracy works and that in the case of the american spirit when inheriting is he has pointed out will point out a major problem in terms of the pandemic that that americans turn peril into possibility and he room on a message of unity 4 years of donald trump kimberly how does the president plan to address. Well its going to be a challenge for him certainly he has already made big gains when it comes to his handling of the pandemic in fact hes going into this speech to the joint session of congress with at least a 52 percent Approval Rating so that means that there are conservatives who. 2 potentially voted for donald trump who are supporting the president on this issue its when it comes to the other issues that things are going to get more difficult for this president especially when it comes to paying for some of these concepts that hes proposed and were going to hear following the president s speech from the highest ranking africanamerican in the u. S. Congress representative or rather senator tim scott he is going to talk about how he believes that much of the success is joe biden will be talking about came because of policies put in place by donald trump particularly when it comes to vaccines that were developed under operation warp speed the other argument hes going to make is that there was historically low unemployment before the pandemic hit and the way to create jobs is not through taxation but through opportunity in fact hes going to call a lot of what joe biden is proposing washington schemes and socialist dreams so to that end in terms of unity it doesnt appear that the message is going to win over a lot of conservatives in the United States thank you so much can really help good for ordering from washington d.

An investigation has been launched into how the british Prime Minister Boris Johnson funded renovations to his apartment in downing street the u. K. s political spending that watchdog says it has reasonable grounds to suspect an offense may have been carried it around in reports from london. Downing street the very heart of Boris Johnsons government is in turmoil among the stream of damaging leaks and revelations in recent days the question of exactly how the renovations of johnsons downing street apartment were paid for have been front page news its been alleged that johnson 1st tried to get wealthy supporters to pay for the work then that his Political Party loaned him the money if so that should have been made public Prime Minister the Electoral Commission is now involved and at the weekly session of Prime Ministers questions the Opposition Labor Party smelled blood who initially of Prime Minister initially is the key word here who initially paid for the redecoration of his downing street. Minister and misspeak i think i hope i answered this question several times and the arts the answer is that i have covered the costs i have met the requirements that ive been obliged to meet in full what we get from this Prime Minister of this conservative government dont you contracts jobs for their mates and cash for access and whos at the heart of it the Prime Minister major sleaze sitting than. Again and again johnson wouldnt clarify who had paid the initial invoice repeating only that he personally had covered the costs of regional and local elections are just a week away and opinion polling suggests the controversies are starting to affect Voter Sentiment again youre getting a pass and were some points is credibility as Prime Minister will evaporate and you people go to last year we want somebody of that kind of abject. Moral character as Prime Minister. At the core of this crisis is a bitter dispute between Forrest Johnson and this man his former closest advisor dominic comics downing street accused cummings of being the source of many of the recent damaging leaks cummings strongly rebutted that publishing an explosive blog which concluded that his former boss fell far below the required standards of competence and integrity. Boris johnson owes much of his political success to a remarkable teflon like quality the ability to survive control over seas which would have brought down other less contemporary politicians its almost as if different rules apply to this Prime Minister but that doesnt mean that the rules dont exist and in this Electoral Commission there is a watchdog prepared to apply them paul brennan aljazeera westminster Northern Irelands 1st minister has announced shes stepping down after members of her Party Challenge her leadership Arlene Foster will resign as leader of the Democratic Unionist Party and is Northern Irelands 1st minister critics blame her for the trade barrier down the irish sea known as the Northern Ireland protocol which was agreed as part of the u. K. s exit from the e. U. And her simmons has more from outside the Northern Ireland assembly in belfast there are up to half a dozen contenders in the leadership race all of them men and one thing you can count on is that the heart of the line they take against bricks it in the Northern Ireland protocol more chance theyll have of winning the protocol being foisted upon Northern Ireland against the will of union us has served to destabilise Northern Ireland and more recent times. And why if there is still a job of work today im proud that there is a young generation of democratic unionist getting involved in politics and trying to shape Northern Ireland for the better you dont have to turn the clock but far to see the main reason for Arlene Fosters demise she backed Boris Johnson over bricks it didnt expect was the Northern Ireland protocol which put a seaboard if you will a trade barrier between the e. U. And the u. K. Down the r. E. C. Rather than the hard border between north and out of the Irish Republic thats led to a crisis of identity amongst Northern Ireland people in the protestant side of the community that is sort of the community and furthermore theres now an unease attention over the future with fear is amongst the youth is that there could be irish unity and fosters been accused by her critics of saying too little too late astronaut Michael Collins who was one of 3 crew on the apollo 11 Lunar Mission has died aged 90 collins orbited the moon while his crew mates Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin to bear historic 1st steps on the surface in 1969 he died on wednesday after a battle with cancer his family said he had always faced lifes challenges with grace and humility and faced his final challenge in the same way lets go to brian odom whos now chief historian hes joining us from huntsville thats in alabama thanks for your time with us on aljazeera so how will you remember collins. Yeah thanks for having me on your own or better circumstances but i think Michael Collins will be known you know forever as someone who have a passion for Space Exploration not only because hes a part of it i think they gave. Somebody who dedicated his life to talking about scientific discovery human space flight a number of different ways he was known sometimes known in fact as the for a god an astronaut because he didnt get to land on the moon but just how important was he for the success of the Apollo Mission yeah like the other astronauts you know armstrong was all over and collins played an incredibly Important Role and he had to go through alone listen trainees you know was the perfect person for that but it you know if collins is not good at his job and doesnt fall through exactly the way that crew doesnt get home and that mission we know is all 11 is the success that we think so definitely played a Critical Role in making that its us and how do you think his life and legacy paved the way for the future of Space Exploration i think he sent me an important piece of the Apollo Program really good lay the platform for human spaceflight you know exploration of the past that continues today several Space Programs that nasa as we look to go back or you know to the moon as part of the heart of this program i think we can look back on the work that was done were all alone and and the great platform then and work it was a Michael Collins to get us there i think hes you know hes hes he was someone who did dedicate his life and accomplish very important work and also wasnt the only chapter in his life after a short stint in government he went on to become the national air and space Museum Director also he authored a number of space related books talked to us about his life after space and his contributions. Yeah really i think that that part of his life was just as important you know Michael Collins is somebody who is incredibly humble but also someone who is an incredible powerful advocate for these who has knowledge yet and who are what the Space Program would become starting for a brief period with the department to say oh it figures there are no talking about you know being and masters of the world that these things we are youre right as someone who basically oversaw the founding of the smithsonians air and space museum which opened in 1976 under his directorship you know institution known throughout the world as a platform from which you know people continue to learn about the value of Space Exploration and scientific discovery so hes a critical piece of that hes you know and thats someone who was incredibly humble to be in that position seeing the world the way he saw it from you know that im only you know a man model while hes there by himself you have remained home will remain a fierce advocate for these things is just to be supressed thank you so much brian odom for sharing your thoughts with us on aljazeera. I think youre rich it police in peru have a victim thousands of people squatting in the hillside of the capital lima police fired tear gas canisters one squatters objected to the evictions by setting cars on fires and throwing rocks the number of illegal settlements outside the capital have grown over the decades due to lack of Affordable Housing the problem has been made worse by the coronavirus pandemic with more people getting vaccinated in the u. S. And cover 1000 infections declining restrictions are easing in many areas including new york home to the United Nations headquarters but in person diplomacy has been slow to return chriss salumi reports too slow for some. New signs of life on new york streets. As vaccination rates increase covert infections drop and workers begin heading back to the office in 2 weeks allowed building capacity will increase from 50 to 75 percent here United Nations headquarters though it is far from diplomacy as usual fewer than 600. 00 Staff Members are coming to work each day thats less than a 10th of those who did prior to the pandemic and all public tours remain cancer. U. N. Officials say building capacity will increase as more staff get vaccinated we expect as that happens more people will be able to come to the building theres no official change of phase 2 announced thats what the General Assembly has resumed in person meetings in a spacious and iconic hall but the Security Council which sets its own agenda and rules hasnt convened in its regular chamber for months save for a handful of meetings under the russian presidency last october as the council held another Virtual Meeting on wednesday russias ambassador said its time for diplomats to get back in the room was wasted on the blog at the new this covered 1000 situation in new york today is a lot better than it was then being overly cautious on the part of our colleagues can cast an unfavorable light on the Security Council but other countries accuse russia of being inflexible and resisting a compromise solution of holding in person meetings in a larger room still with technical problems a fairly regular occurrence at online meetings as us you know last summer. America moving to the next big or no one is publicly defending virtual diplomacy ambassadors need to get together inside out conversations and theyre not really able to. Im saying there is definitely a sense that a lot of difficult issues in the council are being made just a bit more difficult by it being online for the moment it looks like much work will continue remotely with diplomats literally remaining buildings if not worlds apart christian salumi aljazeera the United Nations just a reminder you can always had online for all the latest information and all the top story is our website it is right there on your screen at aljazeera dot com.
