discuss is a portuguesejournalist and geoff mcallister. in the studio, clive myrie. good to have all of you here with us. by the timejoe biden reaches his 100th day as president next week, he will have delivered his first state of the union address and met some key targets on covid vaccination that he set himself. it was a historian look at frank and rose lavelle�*s dynamic entry into the white house in 1933 who coined the white house in 1933 who coined the phrase first 100 days. instead of a considered assessment years later, they have to put up with the instant verdict of the commentariat. is there anything we can say about the biden presidency at this stage? i remind the viewers that this is the one—year anniversary of trump suggesting that ultraviolet lights

would be the solution is to covid. just by way of trying to recalibrate a more normal person in the white house who does not meet all the time and seems to be very serious. it is almost hard _ and seems to be very serious. it is almost hard for _ and seems to be very serious. it is almost hard for us _ and seems to be very serious. it 3 almost hard for us to readjust our brains to this. in fact he is a serious guy who has priorities that are interlinked and he is trying to make fast progress on them. he thinks the country has underinvested in itself for a long time, it has serious racial and income disparities and the solution to both of these problems is to invest. and that will solve climate change, it will solve inequality and racial disparity and put the country on a better footing. disparity and put the country on a betterfooting. so because of disparity and put the country on a better footing. so because of covid he has an opportunity. people now think of our government differently. he has a 2 trillion covid relief bill through. he has an

infrastructure relief building bill through which he has put forward and which is going to be carved down. but so far, republican voters like it. republican politicians do not. but i think there is progress to be made there. he has a 54% approval rating, donald trump never broke 50. if you make some progress, if he gets things done in the old—fashioned way, some of the venom will be sucked out of politics, moderate voters will think the government is good for something and notjust something to throw bricks at. then he will be able to get through this very quick window of the elections coming up again, in american elections, which will fuel their democrats lose... he is trying to come out of the box fast and i think so far, so good. if is to come out of the box fast and i think so far, so good.— think so far, so good. if is the most powerful _

think so far, so good. if is the most powerful word _ think so far, so good. if is the most powerful word in - think so far, so good. if is the most powerful word in these i think so far, so good. if is the - most powerful word in these things. they're big if that geoff is alluding to is congressional... he has got a comfortable majority in the house. joe biden is a hose who likes consensus, he has spent most of his career on congress, cutting deals. and he is dealing on the other side with a party that does not believe in cutting deals precisely because it's owned grass roots won't let it cut deals. then he has left in the democrat party thatis he has left in the democrat party that is saying 0bama tried that, the republicans will not play ball you are wasting time. it needs to be more radical and confrontational. how will he balance those two demands and pressures? i how will he balance those two demands and pressures? i think it is auoin to demands and pressures? i think it is going to be — demands and pressures? i think it is going to be very _ demands and pressures? i think it is going to be very difficult _ demands and pressures? i think it is going to be very difficult and - demands and pressures? i think it is going to be very difficult and i - going to be very difficult and i think— going to be very difficult and i think he — going to be very difficult and i think he is trying to make the most of the _ think he is trying to make the most of the time — think he is trying to make the most of the time and the momentum that he has and _ of the time and the momentum that he has and he _ of the time and the momentum that he has and he enjoys at the moment, and enjoys _ has and he enjoys at the moment, and enjoys in _ has and he enjoys at the moment, and enjoys in the _ has and he enjoys at the moment, and enjoys in the next two years. as you said, _ enjoys in the next two years. as you said. he _

done... 0nly are you a clerk as well, you have done... only a district courtjudge. that is my fault, you have never claimed it. you understand the american people all too well. you know how it interacts with the political system. we have a supreme court that is majority appointed by republican and perceived to be republican and perceived to be republican leading because the raiders and thejurors republican leading because the raiders and the jurors before they becamejudges, how much of raiders and the jurors before they became judges, how much of a handicap will happy forjoe biden? i think it is going to be possibly a significant one. the courts do not like to think of themselves as a political branch, but the way that the supreme courtjustices have been nominated in recent years, especially by republicans, has put them on the activist side of their party. they have an agenda and that has meant a lot of rolling back of restrictions on regulation, letting companies do more things, stopping

environmental regulations, permitting religious groups to have more freedoms, more government money. it is not the kind of thing where they read the papers every day and try to push the votes for the power republicans, they did indeed vote against tram's ridiculous attempts to over turn the election. i think we will see more flashpoints and cultural issues which biden will probably try to avoid as much as he can, the place when it might go afterwards his agenda, if he tries to have our tax or complex regulation of carbon emissions which is part of the green economy that is trying to go to. the 50% cut in carbon emissions by 2035. i can see those supreme court finding lots of ways that these regulations are not permitted under the congress cause. if he had a majority in the senate

that can actually legislate these things, then there is a clear directive in favour of them, i think there's supreme court would have more difficulty. now he will have to do a lot by... that allows the supreme court more leeway. eunice, last thought — supreme court more leeway. eunice, last thought on _ supreme court more leeway. eunice, last thought on biden _ supreme court more leeway. eunice, last thought on biden because - supreme court more leeway. eunice, last thought on biden because 's - last thought on biden because �*s america. i last thought on biden because 's america. ~ ., , last thought on biden because 's america. ~ . , , , , america. i think he has surprised the world with _ america. i think he has surprised the world with his _ america. i think he has surprised the world with his activism. - america. i think he has surprised the world with his activism. i - america. i think he has surprised i the world with his activism. i think he has _ the world with his activism. i think he has already been on course to be with transformational presidents like roosevelt. ithink with transformational presidents like roosevelt. i think he with transformational presidents like roosevelt. ithink he is with transformational presidents like roosevelt. i think he is in a hurry— like roosevelt. i think he is in a hurry and — like roosevelt. i think he is in a hurry and i_ like roosevelt. i think he is in a hurry and i think he is aware that is window— hurry and i think he is aware that is window of opportunity are short and so _ is window of opportunity are short and so he — is window of opportunity are short and so he is — is window of opportunity are short and so he is trying to do as much as he can— and so he is trying to do as much as he can and — and so he is trying to do as much as he can and i— and so he is trying to do as much as he can and i think he is doing it as well. _ he can and i think he is doing it as well. he _ he can and i think he is doing it as well, he senses that public opinion is on _ well, he senses that public opinion is on his— well, he senses that public opinion is on his side and that there is a wind _ is on his side and that there is a wind of— is on his side and that there is a wind of change in terms of how we approach _ wind of change in terms of how we approach government, the way the people _ approach government, the way the people see government can do well, this state _ people see government can do well, this state action can do well. how we can— this state action can do well. how we can address racial inequalities

hello, this extraordinarily dry speu hello, this extraordinarily dry spell continues in april and for most of us there is a lot of sunshine to be had through today. that sunshine has been turning hazy in places during two places of high cloud. during the weekend it will stay dry but turn kilobyte tomorrow and there will be more cloud most of us. high—pressure stays in charge and that keeps things largely dry. the winds in the southern flank of the high will... certainly across the high will... certainly across the channel islands, there will be areas of patchy high cloud here and there, turning that sunshine hazy but for most it is at fine and sunny afternoon and a relatively warm one across western areas. coasts of north devon and cornwall, west wales, north—west england, perhaps western counties of northern

ireland, 18, i9, western counties of northern ireland, 18, 19, possibly 20 degrees. for most of us high levels of tree pollen, pay that in mind if you are a he fever sufferer. long clear spells that we will see more cloud developing eastern and central parts of england, maybe into east wales, the oddness and there. temperatures in many places above freezing, we are likely to have a thrust in north—east scotland. tomorrow, we stick with a dry theme, for most of us did spells of dry sunshine but there will be cloud developing eastern england, some of that into the midlands and east wales. windy once again down towards the south and that winter is coming in from the east, coming in from a chilly direction so that will take the edge off the temperatures, 10 degrees in norwich, 13 in plymouth. up degrees in norwich, 13 in plymouth. up to 17 degrees in north west scotland. this frontal system pushing in from the north will bring

some rain across scotland on monday. maybe the odd shower into northern ireland and northern england but spots further south will stay dry, with some spells of sunshine. temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees. some of the rain in the north will push south but it will fizzle and petered out so southern areas not saying much in the way of wet weather, dry through the week for turning a bit colder.
