and in parts of bolivia opara grow it was a pretty big showers on friday. in the in the area in. the air to those who broke the law you will pay donald trump condemns the attack on capitol hill and says he wants a smooth transition of power to the biden administration. player watching al-jazeera live from doha with me fully backed also coming out. president has committed an unspeakable a shock on our nation and our people our speaker nancy pelosi joins growing calls for president trump to be removed from office

a day after his supporters stormed the u.s. capitol building in while the president elect joe biden has called the people responsible for the unrest domestic terrorists in other news a landmark court ruling in south korea as japan is ordered to pay compensation to women used as sex slaves during world war 2. thank you for joining us more than 24 hours after the storming of the u.s. capitol building the president has finally condemn the actions of his supporters in his 1st tweet since a 12 hour ban on his account was lifted donald trump say those who broke the law will have to pay for their actions in the video trump said he was outraged by the violence and call for healing and reconciliation he also pledged to ensure a peaceful transition of power to the incoming biden administration. now congress

has certified the results a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power this moment calls for healing and reconciliation 2020 has been a challenging time for a people a menacing pandemic has up ended the lives of our citizens isolated millions in their homes damaged our economy and claimed countless lives defeating this pandemic and rebuilding the greatest economy on earth will require all of us working together it will require a new emphasis on the civic values of patriotism faith charity community and family we must revitalize the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together as one national family to the citizens of our country serving as your president has been the honor of my lifetime and to all of my wonderful supporters i know you are

disappointed but i also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning when earlier the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi called on vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment and remove president tom from office. in calling for this addition act president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people i joined a senate democratic leader and calling on the vice president to remove this president and i immediately invoking the 25th amendment. if the vice president or camera do not act the congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. now as a result of the chaos on capitol hill on wednesday 4 people died and 15 police officers were injured president elect joe biden branded those responsible for the

domestic terrorists as ring in his life for us in washington d.c. let's talk about the president's latest twitter video gave what are we to make of his message and how will this be received in yours. well we can probably make a lot of things out of it takes a lot of things out of it but primarily this was about as close to a clear concession speech as you will probably get from this president he did not use the word concession but clearly his words and his tone were of the sense that this is a president that clearly knows that his fight about calling into question the election results of this free and fair election it was won by joe biden his fight against this election is simply over and that was clear by his message here he also clearly had a message for his supporters. around the united states but probably also for those

specifically that were here in washington d.c. that pretty much stand down that. that he pretty much is saying that he is going to accept the election results and he's planning to leave office on january 20th so these this was a new message or messages from donald trump that we have not heard and it comes as i said just 13 days before he is scheduled to leave office how will this message be received well we don't quite know yet because we haven't got a lot of reaction yet however the chance of vice president mike pence doing the 25th amendment and removing the president from power now in the next 13 days seems like it was slim even before this message from the president came out and it's probably even more so now the big question now moves to nancy pelosi the house speaker will she now pursue impeaching president donald trump in his last 2 and a half weeks in office or will this video message from the president be enough to

appease her moving forward those are the big questions now that are still unanswered thank you for the moment given elizondo live in washington d.c. . he has felt to me to go to san jose democratic political consultant he says trump's apparent concessions too little too late to save his reputation 2 months past election day and the trump still can't say biden won and i lost and now we're having a peaceful transition that's nonsense so great i don't even he was not going to be president as of noon on january 20th no matter what he tried to do we be like an intruder in the white house at the state and he wasn't going to do that so again i don't assign weight to what he says is the image of the united states and a capitol under attack by the president's supporters with the flags and the hats that won't go away for years and that will be hung around trump's neck and frankly having a 2nd impeachment wouldn't be

a bad thing to hang around his neck either no matter what he decides to do politically to see trump or insight this this crowd them going in with the trump flags and the trump hats and cheering on trump inside the u.s. capitol look the republican party twice nominated this by a human being for president yes i feel pretty strongly about it as you can tell from my remarks and i think this is something those images you're going to see in ads if any trump ever in our lifetime decides to run for office again those ads are going to be run over those images are going to be run over and over to say this is what donald trump what you have done how you've been reelected and never having to face the voters again it would have been frightful and dare we take a chance on any other trump or anybody in his immediate orbit with that same lack of judgment so yes i do think this will be a big stain on a lot of people in the republican party not just name truck. on the fallout from

wednesday's events on capitol hill continued have been a number of resignations in president stumps cabinet the latest one being the resignation of the education secretary betsy devolves who says that the trump rhetoric was an inflection point so the education secretary betsy devotes resigning after the capitol hill chaos on wednesday and the transport secretary has resigned as well so a number of president cabinet members now stepping down after yesterday's events and the president elect's joe biden has also spoken calling those behind the storming of capitol hill and ensue rest insurrectionists mob what we witnessed yesterday was not dissent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos there were protesters don't dare call them protesters

there were a riot is mob insurrections domestic terrorists is that basic it's that simple there was sri. could say we couldn't see it coming. and the chief of the capitol hill police department resigned on thursday a day after supporters of president besieged the building the event has led many african-americans to point out the stock difference between how black eyes matter protesters have been treated compared to those who went to the capitol building who are mostly white john hendren has our report from washington. washington's mayor calls it an invasion of the citadel of american democracy by hostile forces what happened yesterday is textbook terrorism. but that's not how the thousands of protesters who attacked the u.s. capitol were treated. when black lives matter came to town last summer this is

how peaceful protesters in front of the white house were greeted. with tear gas. flash bang grenades and rubber bullets police in riot gear on the steps of the lincoln memorial when president donald trump on wednesday urged a crowd of thousands to march to the capitol to demand that congress overturn his election laws we're going to the capitol. trespassers some carrying weapons broke into the capitol along it was in session smashing doors and windows invading the office of house speaker nancy pelosi and stealing left ups. capitol hill police retreated as the intruders to go over. kristen thomas used to work in the senate and she participated in washington's black lives matter protests this isn't a black lives matter protests are the best to be that they would be in jail the

worst simply that they would be dead and that is the reality of the situation i'm certainly would not have been able to go to their hotels certainly would not have been able to go back to their home states security forces did shoot one. woman to death is an armed group broke in 3 others died of medical emergencies while the rest of the invaders continued on their rampage they broke in any where they could leaving rubble on the ground some walked around freely for hours and then when it was all over simply walked out. some protesters were escorted out furious that police later. there was tear gas and flash bangs but relatively few were arrests 68 in all 7 for carrying illegal firearms and other weapons the rest are curfew and unlawful entry violations there were 427 over 3 days of black lives matter protests in washington

that directly again between whites from his organization is a monstrous mess that's one of the same breaks the reason why you there is why you don't see the police in sas or they didn't ask yesterday it was because that was their family stormed the capitol when it was all over after his successor pleaded with him to speak up i call on president trump to go on national television the current president praised those who attacked the capital go home we love you he said they should go home not jail home and after a 4 hour siege in the united states symbol of democracy that is what most of them were allowed to do john hendren al jazeera washington on less discuss this further now with douglas who is a political and this is also the vice president for the washington d.c. and evan a.c.p. a civilized nation is joining us via skype thank you very much for being with us mr snow and so you'll find out what if the capitol hill riot is we're back.

well if the capitol hill riders were all black perhaps they would have made it to the outside perimeter maybe even perhaps they had made it out to the door but i assure you that they would have been by live lisa pressed upon trying to enter the capitol building we've seen evidence of this throughout this country throughout this nation during peaceful blacklock matter protests where sometimes they are just walking down the street and they are violently attacked by the police we saw 'd the national guard in full army right here i mean gear like they were getting ready to be deployed into the middle east. when we had a black flies matter march is over the summer we saw him guarding the lincoln memorial and other monuments because they anticipated by lance and none of that was

the case none of that happened sonny extern have received treatment. well ali says because of skin color this is a racial issue too we're seeing white privilege at work here there's no way in the world that is these these insurrectionists were black or insurrectionists were brown is a muslim or say a spanish that they would have been able to storm the capitol and get to those gates unabated there's no way in the world that they would have been allowed entry into the u.s. capitol crimes no way in the world that they were only being one shooting or one fatality and by the way a lot of people are buying into this capitol police all of us are was killed when he was hit in the head with a fire singers or by on these violent right wing white is stream is believe c.c. us cap but some some have said that the actions displayed yesterday only for the

argument for defunding the police which was a rallying cry of course during the b.l.m. protests back i've met of protests but will that be enough to deal with the issue of inequitable policing. well a lot of people miss understand the. rallying cry or slow going deep on the police winblad lot as a matter of uses deep on the police they are saying that they want to take some of the funding used for policing and put those towards other services they would be better served helping underserved communities like social services. like domestic violence. like services towards the economy and jobs because we know that economic circumstances and poverty are drivers of crime when they say the phone the police are not just saying abolish the police or to take all the money out we supply mint but rather allocate some of those resources to get some of the root

causes of crime in and of other issues that plague some of these inner city and it's not just black communities but also white community these that are out in like west virginia kentucky arkansas where they have high incidences of crime with and or communities just as i said in that alley in regard burglary regarding you can see from the capitol hill police or rather how to please because they come under the u.s. capitol and congress so overall they have money set aside it's not a regular police or struggle that force can never predict funded or where is really that is why does not have a barrier between what we before we go i want to ask you about all of this everyone is saying president trump is to blame for the most recent events but you and i know that this this is not just down to president trump and changing the president is

not going to be enough we've had a black president in america barack obama and the issue was necessary addressed under him so what what is need what needs to happen you think and do you think joe biden and common to have as. the ones who can perhaps tackle this issue better than it has been tackled in the past. well a lot of people expected brock to wave a magic wand when he got in office and made all racism and systematic oppression and institutionalized racism disappear in his country and being that this country in a sense was bounded on that type of oppression from the genocide of the native americans to the racism and oppression of african people they brought over that they made slaves in this country and then you know after slavery ended it's not like we will party and everything was ok you know we had jim crow we had to bail reconstruction

we had. hundreds of years of institutionalized racism racism within institutions in this country so it was going to take more than one president to fix that deep seated racism and systematic oppression that is present within institutions in this country so barack obama did a lot with programs like my brother's keeper like the consent decrees that he had at least department with ensuring that different departments like department of labor and education aggressively pursued incidents of racism within their ranks but it's going to take more than one president or even one president to terms you do that it's going to take a concerted continual consistent effort to address incidents of racism within our institutions and within the police department a lot of people don't understand that the police department grew out of the slave patrols in the 1800 where they were chasing down slaves and sometimes

really killing them or or taking them back to the plantations that were that actual big bad today war started by when it started last conference on the slate which rose so a lot of this is really baked into our system and we have a horrendous record of racism. racist behavior. police force is going to. be just one presidential address as you say an issue that's going to take a long time to resolve thank you so very much for speaking to us. in washington d.c. thank you for your time thank you our let's now turn our attention to other world news and in an unprecedented ruling a south korean court has ordered the japanese government to pay compensation to a dozen women used as sex slaves during the 2nd world war up 220-0000 so-called comfort women mainly from south korea were forced to work in brothels run by the

japanese military before and during the war they were raped beaten tortured and killed while many took their own lives as ringing rob mcbride in seoul for us so rob quite a significant ruling tell us about the implications of this for south korean and japanese relations. absolutely this is a very significant case in fact the lawyer representing these plaintiffs says that it's the 1st time that any court has ruled in favor of these so-called comfort women so what some 75 years after the end of the 2nd world war finally some of its victims are finally it seems having their day in court now these are 12 plaintive these are the so-called comfort women some of the survivors of the war or their relatives and these are young women or girls who were forced into sexual slavery join the 2nd world war forced to work in wartime brothels for the japanese imperial

army now the court has ruled in their favor saying that each of these victims suffered unimaginable mental and physical pain and awarding each more than $90000.00 u.s. dollars in compensation now this case has been going on for 8 years but for all of those 8 years it is not being recognized by japan itself japan has maintained this view of sovereign immunity that basically it is this international norm that no one nation should be allowed to sue another nation in its courts and that japan says in any case this these cases of abuse from the 2nd world war have long been settled in a court agreement in 1965 when japan and south korea normalize their relations and then yet again in 2015 an agreement specifically for the comfort women which gave them compensation that was meant to have it reversible settle this case once and

for all so they have not recognized this case but it is an ongoing cause of contention between south korea and japan that many people here in south korea believe that japan is never fully atoned for what it did during the 2nd world war to its neighbors and that we have seen other courts here in seoul give rulings in favor of victims such as forced labor or doing jap. these companies to pay compensation back in turn has caused a fierce reaction from japan with japan retaliating with trade disputes we have seen relations between japan and south korea go to their worst that they have been in many decades in recent years this case will ensure that relations will stay very much deep freeze if you like and very much so relations thank you for that rob mcbride live for us in seoul how the indonesian cleric who funded the group behind the 2002 bali bombing has been released from prison 82 year old cher was released

early after his 15 year jail term was cut short 202 people were killed in the attack in bali most were foreign tourists including 88 australian nationals a share was convicted of funding a military style training camp to train the perpetrators in such a province as bring in jessica washington who joins us now live from the prison in bogor just outside of the capital of indonesia jakarta tell us about the reactions of jessica to this release. who fully police released bashir in the early hours of the morning in parched trying to avoid any kind of spectacle by supporters outside the prison but as you can see it is fairly quiet here the question of bashir is release has been a controversial issue for many years in indonesia but this time is different there is more acceptance from the public because he has served his sentence and there are no further legal mechanisms to keep him behind bars as far as security threat

security experts do say that as an 82 year old in poor health with diminished influence it's unlikely that he would be a continued security threat however police will continue to monitor him and he will be under surveillance for the rest of his life jessica thank you for that. now there are reports of a large explosion in yemen s'pore city of aden residents say the blast was heard near a prison in the center of the city last week unknown assailants launch an attack on aden airports which killed at least $25.00 people and injured more than $100.00 others the misato appeared to be targeting the newly formed saudi backed government which was arriving from riyadh the government has blamed hoofy rebels for the attack plane make a boeing is to pay $2500000000.00 to settle a criminal charge that it conceals design flaws in its 737 max aircraft from u.s.

regulators the settlement includes money for the families of victims of 2 crashes in indonesia any field here that killed 346 people and grounded fleets worldwide the u.s. justice department says affirming gage in a cover up and chose profit over a candid. the world health organization says europe is at a tipping point in its corona virus outbreak it says more infectious variants of the virus so raising alarm the w.h.o. is also calling for a safe compromise when deciding how long the gap between vaccine doses should be it's a warning that the 2nd pfizer biotech vaccine job shouldn't be delayed by more than 6 weeks but the u.k. is holding off by up to 12 weeks to give more people a single dose and they're now more people in the u.s. hospitals with corona virus than at any other time during the pandemic over 132000

people are being treated and on thursday almost 4000 people died the worst ever daily death toll critics say people aren't being vaccinated fast enough because of a lack of direction from the government california remains the epicenter where officials say on average there's a new death every 15 minutes andy gallagher is in miami florida he says the situation there is looking isn't looking good. if we look back to july when we previously had biggest single day of new cases that was around 15000 that was in the summer here where people tend to be indoors you can understand that but on wednesday that number increased to almost 800000 so the situation here in the state of florida is is dire at the moment more than 20000 people in this state have died all of course being compounded by that overly slow rollout of the vaccines even discussion now about whether they can reduce that 1st dose whether they should

lengthen the time between doses because of course it's about $21.00 days for at least one of those vaccines meanwhile experts here are saying things will get worse before they get better because what i've seen here over the past few days is frankly quite disturbing a lot of americans traveling to the state of florida presumably from some winter going around on boats eating in restaurants when those kinds of things happen health experts say a few weeks later you will see yet another rise in cases and of course fatal it isn't here in miami dade county this is the single biggest state for deaths and for new cases so it is a dire situation in this state one that may only get worse as things go by and these vaccines tend to be rolling out very very slowly of course this state has a large population of people aged over 65 they make about around 20 percent of the entire state's population and they really can't get this vaccine into their arms soon enough. a 2nd stage of imagines he will come into effect on friday of

a month on restrictions are an effort by the government to get coronavirus on the controlled ahead of july games but as hide their reports some experts say the measures don't go far enough. a 2nd state of emergency since april japan's announced at the tokyo metropolitan area some 35000000 people will face tougher restrictions to stem a surge in covert 1000 cases numbers are 10 times higher than in the spring starting friday in tokyo and 3 neighboring prefectures restaurants and bars will close at 8 pm and people will be asked to stay home other businesses will have to trim their hours companies are encouraged to have employees work from home schools will remain open for now on like the last state of emergency over all these new restrictions are more relaxed than april this noodle restaurant has been in june nunca ney's family for 26 years now she has to close at her usual peak time of the after work crowd. and i not only do as many if we open it costs money even to such

the lights on i will have to see what happens and think about continuing to operate at night there were strict since will run through february 7th but some medical experts say they are not severe enough to substantially reduce the numbers and there's growing concern that the health care system could be overwhelmed tokyo has borne the brunt of a 3rd wave of coronavirus that hit japan accounting for about half of all the cases over the last several weeks of the new cases most are people in their twenty's with the reschedule lympics just months away prime minister your she he de suga had hoped to ride the balance of curbing the outbreak while still keeping an ailing japanese economy the 3rd largest in the world but his approval rating has been bettered by his government's coded 1000 response in order to enhance the economy economy particularly service sector particularly in areas like you know travelling . and hotels and restaurants. i think the government had been pushing a little bit too early a little bit too much and i think people have realized and we're getting back into

a bit of the dark title we used to get the 1st pandemic. so it might take a bit more than cheerleaders at a tokyo train station to lift the spirits at the start of what will be a long month for many. al-jazeera. now again i'm fully back to bill with the headlines on al-jazeera more than 24 hours after the storming of the u.s. capitol building the president has finally condemned the actions of his supporters donald trump says those who broke the law will pay he also promised to ensure a peaceful transition of power now congress has certified the results a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power.
