thanks for hanging around. a live look at capitol hill, lawmakers will have a chance in moments to press a powerful teacher union on school shutdowns. sandra: it has begun. we ask lawmakers to ask randi weingarten about the role in crafting the cdc guidelines. john: for reopening schools or keeping them closed. she is down playing union influence but now admits school closures and lockdowns were tough on kids as they struggle with learning loss even to this day. sandra: dr. anthony fauci is back in the headlines reflecting on his response to the pandemic, admitting he got things wrong. particularly in our country with our free spirit, which we all embrace, that people being told what to do very often has the opposite effect. sandra: so what does senator rand paul think about that?
spring 2020 we had no idea how bad things would get for our kids. we didn t know that democrats would shut down our schools for over a year. now we are seeing the long-term damage this has done. while students in china were back in the classroom our kids were stuck at home. now they re struggle from mental illness and depression and they re behind in math and reading and it all could have been avoided. but instead of really following the science when it was safe to reopen schools people like randy wine garden of american teachers wanted to keep them close. he was testifying on capitol hill. the big question is, did her union influence the cdc can when it came to covid guidance for schools. listen to this. did the aft first edge gauge the cdc or did the cdc reach out to you? so what essentially happened,

Für den Washingtoner Außenpolitik-Experten Peter Rough ist dies ein „Symbolbild“. Biden setze nämlich in Europa stark auf Deutschland, so Rough. Kurz sei indes auch in den USA wegen seiner innenpolitischen Probleme angeschlagen. „Kurz ist in New York und Merkel ist in Washington. Während der Trump-Regierung hätte man sich lieber mit Kurz getroffen“, kommentierte der Forscher am konservativen „Hudson Institute“ mit Blick auf den „Zoff“ zwischen Berlin und Washington unter Bidens Vorgänger. Die Regierung von Donald Trump habe sich in Europa „regionale Alternativen gesucht“ und bewusst die Beziehungen zu kleineren mitteleuropäischen Staaten gepflegt.
