President Biden's one trillion-dollar infrastructure package passes Congress

President Biden's one trillion-dollar infrastructure package passes Congress.

President Biden's one trillion dollar infrastructure bill finally gets approval from the US House of Representatives: But we hear why the President's plans for social policy and climate change are still being blocked by Congress.

Also, can international financiers help limit global warming with a promise of one hundred thirty trillion dollars?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Rebecca Willis, a professor of energy and climate governance at the University of Lancaster here in England; and Alex Andreou, Greek-born actor, writer and broadcaster based in London.
