President Biden's sweeping proposals

Newsday

Available for over a year

After 100 days in the White House, Joe Biden has been addressing a joint session of Congress on his vision for America. We'll take a look at his promises for the future. Environmental commitments mean the days of coal in Europe are limited, but a new report outlines how to turn unemployed miners into sustainable workers. Later today the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny will appeal against his conviction in a slander case. We look at how Vladimir Putin has responded to the threat from Navalny and his supporters.
