but it's not disturbing the fog still in russia. sponsored by qatar airways. those who broke the law you will day donald trump condemns the attack on capitol hill and says he wants a smooth transition of power to the biden ministration. at our next this is out of their life and also coming up. president has committed and speak. on our nation and our. house speaker nancy pelosi joins calls for donald trump to be removed from office and another cabinet member quits after the storming of the u.s.

capitol building. the president elect joe biden has called for the people responsible for the unrest domestic terrorists. plus a landmark court ruling in south korea as japan is ordered to pay compensation to women used to sex slaves to world war $2.00. so more than 24 hours after the storming of the u.s. capitol building president donald trump has finally condemned the actions of his supporters and it may just shift in tone he's going from urging people to march on the capitol before the unrest to now saying that those who broke the law will have to pay for the actions the video returned to twitter offers accounts brought and he said that he was outraged by the violence and called for healing and reconciliation and also pledged 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 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. us house speaker nancy pelosi called on vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment and remove president trump from office in calling for this should act president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people i join defended democratic leader and calling on the vice president to we move this president i immediately invoking the 25th amendment. if the vice president or cabinet do not act the congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment meanwhile education secretary betsy devils has become the 2nd the cabinet member to quit over the violence and this comes after the transport secretary elaine chao announced that she is stepping down let's cross over to washington d.c. we can speak to. the stunning by the 1st lady now we have this writer called change

in tone from the president. right probably as close to a concession speech as you can expect from trump he didn't actually use that word concede but he did say that there will be a new administration's warnin on january 20th and he said that his focus now would turn to an orderly transfer of power it was very obvious that this was a scripted message likely not written by trump himself but boy what a departure indeed from the words we heard from the same president about 24 hours ago starting with that rally in which he told some tens of thousands of his supporters to go to the capitol to march there to fight against the election result those words inciting the mob violence that we saw unfold there and then hours after the violence began as people were sheltering in place fearing for their lives at the u.s. capitol trying again released

a video telling his supporters that he loved them and that they were special and asking them to return home obviously the fallout from those moments has only been increasing by the moment and many are seeing this video now finally shared by trump on his twitter account after it was had been frozen due to his claims earlier many are saying this message as an effort at self protection the president said to go 13 days left a note for the something like these cool seem to be removed they like it's going traction. well there certainly growing by the moment we know that nancy pelosi that democratic speaker of the house joined by her counterpart in the senate chuck schumer soon to be the majority leader they submitted a letter to mike pence the vice president asking him by the end of today and it's already what 2 more hours left of this day washington to respond to their calls for the 25th amendment to be invoked that of course could lead to the removal of

president trump from office however pence is said to have been said to oppose that idea fearing that it may unleash more chaos rather than help the situation given that trump's term already expires within 13 days but the next ultimatum that nancy pelosi has issued is that if she doesn't hear back from from pens that any at any moment the house of representative is ready to begin impeachment proceedings but nick you remember that is a long drawn out process and looking at the calendar left there is almost no way that hearings impeachment vote in a trial could all happen in such short time however going forward is certainly symbolic if trump were to be impeached and convicted he would also be barred from ever holding public office again and it is notable that more and more legislators are signing on to say they would support impeachment including at least 2 republicans or if it's

a reasonable time to custer the in washington that's enough from richard goodstein who's a democratic political consultant he says the troops apparent concession is 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 if he was not going to be president as of noon on january 20th no matter what he chose 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 capital under attack by the president's supporters with the flags and the hat that won't go away for years and that will be hung around donald trump next time 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 in sight these this crowd them going in with the trump

flags and the trump hat and cheering on from inside the u.s. capitol look the republican party twice nominated this bille 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 an ad 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 had he 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 kristensen amy has more now from wilmington on their reaction from the u.s. president elect joe biden. he very specifically did not say anything about

whether or not the 20 fouth 5th amendment should be invoked which would put mike pence in charge of the government he in fact told reporters before delivering prepared remarks that he would avoid that topic what he did say is that the attack on the capitol was one of the darkest days in u.s. history he called the capital the citadel of justice he said it was an assault on democracy he didn't however spare president criticism or blame for what happened he said it was the result of the culmination of 4 years of disregard for the constitution and the rule of law and he called those who took part in a domestic terrorists but we witnessed yesterday was not the scent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos there

were protesters don't dare call them protest they were a riot is mob ensure rections to measure tears that basic it's that simple and i wish we could say we couldn't see it coming now this was an event to name top officials in the justice department his nominees for that department and by not addressing the issue of the 25th amendment and whether or not any specific charges should be brought against any of the demonstrators i think what we're seeing is a signal from joe biden of a more traditional hands off approach. chief of the capitol hill a police department resigned on thursday one day off to supporters of president trump besieged the u.s. capitol building the event has led many americans

a point out the difference between how black lives matter protesters have been treated compared to those who went to the capitol building who are mostly white 200 has more from washington d.c. . 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 long it was in session smashing doors and windows invading the office of house speaker nancy pelosi and stealing laptops. capitol hill police retreated as the intruders took over inshallah. kristin thomas used to work in the senate and cheaper to surveyed 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 certainly would not have been able to go to their hotels certainly would not have been able to go back to their home state security forces did shoot one woman to death as 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 for 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 organizations and. that's one of the same breaks the reason why you there is why you don't see the police in sas what they did yesterday 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 capitol 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. still ahead her knowledge is there the indonesian cleric who founded the group behind the 2002 bali bombings is free from prison. and a growing coronavirus case note forces a new state of emergency in japan. it is raining in texas it's raining in louisiana this low is responsible for dragging up the more from the south but of course it's winter so that rains in southern states you tuck in the cold behind and snow will start to fall in tennessee in virginia west virginia and that will just edge out into the water the

next day or so on the california inside the next storm is one to get the last one is just dying done so you have snow or sleet falling in rally before temperatures come up to near normal by the time we get to sunday in the sunshine returns it's generally quiet weather during the weekend with temps on the low side and he said he knew used to subzero in minneapolis but not excessively so still snow falling in the cascades and in the rockies but not much in the sun replacing it quite happily but you tend to kick up the showers in the bahamas in cuba and all wouldn't a hold jurists and guatemala when these frontal systems come out of the u.s. so that will happen almost friday and on saturday the whole process moving slowly eastwards in honduras and the quite a few showers running through the win without barbados i've been focusing on but it's not so large that is when you also see some big shots and we might just get the flash flooding again in parts of bolivia opara why was some pretty big showers on friday.

an invitation to bear witness to all that life office. the hides the learners the trials and tribulations to see and every day miracles the injustices little finds the tests of character and take to witness documentaries with a delicate touch on al-jazeera.

ever again you're watching al-jazeera remind of our top stories more than 24 hours after the storming of the u.s. capitol building the president has finally condemn the actions of his supporters dollar drop says those who broke the law will pay also pledged to ensure a peaceful transition of. u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi joined the growing calls for president trots removal from office close allies such as republican senator lindsey graham have also criticized his handling of the crisis. the president elect has described the trump supporters who stormed capitol hill as domestic terrorists biden accuse the outgoing president unleashing an all out attack on the country's democratic institutions. the indonesian cleric who founded the group behind the 2002 bali bombing has been released from prison it's a 2 year old back who was released after his 15 year jail term was to cut short the 20022202 sorry i should say 202 people were killed in the attack in bali and

most were foreign terrorists including 88 australian nationals bashir was convicted of funding a military style training camp to train the perpetrators in a province just to washington as at the present just outside chicago with more on the reaction to the parents' release police released. in the early hours of the morning before the sun had even come up in part hoping to avoid any sort of spectacle by supporters of the controversial cleric the question of the shias release has always been controversial in 2019 the government proposed an early release for the cleric and that was met with strong condemnation from from the public and in the end never went ahead this time is different however. has served his sentence in full and there are no further mechanisms to keep him behind bars security experts say that the 82 year old is in poor health and has diminished

influence over the years and it's unlikely that he would continue to be a security threat police however will continue to closely monitor bashir and he will be under surveillance for the rest of his life. president ruling a south korean court has ordered the japanese government to pay compensation to a dozen women used as sex slaves during world war 2 turkey has some in the south korean ambassador to japan following the ruling up 220-0000 so-called comfort women mainly from korea were forced to work in brothels run by the japanese military before and during the war they were raped beaten tortured and killed many took their own lives for mcbride has been at the hearing so. 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 a war time 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 in an 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 of irreversibly 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. plain make a bet is to pay $2500000000.00 to settle a criminal charge that it can seal design flaws it's a 737 max i crawl from u.s. regulators the settlement includes money for the families of victims of 2 crashes in indonesia and ethiopia that killed 346 people in crowded fleets worldwide the u.s. justice department says the case of a cover up in church profit is the kind that let's take this all we can speak to todd curtis who's the founder of safe dot com joins us live from boston a by skype told cuts us welcome to the program so this seems to be

a significant amount of money $2.00 and a half $1000000.00 well this satisfy those who lost so much well on the 1st point is rather not a significant amount of money for boeing this is a company that has a revenue 100000000000 per year and by its own financial disclosure records it has in cash at any given time or at least at the end of november. $10000000000.00 in cash so this is a relatively small sum the greater impact will be on the reputation of going there had been suspicion and he asian community and certainly the victims families that some of the things are going did during design of this aircraft exactly up to standards and part of the agreement is admission by boeing that yes there were some serious. lack of candor during the design process and the lack of candor led to the authorities not be able to know what's going on here point so the customers

were not aware of what went on with this airplane and that very likely led to the crashes and what about the victims' families do you think they will be satisfied with this or will they continue to fight. well the nature of these 2 crashes are such that where most of the victims are non-u.s. citizens and although they can certainly still u.s. courts it might be rather difficult for that to happen now these families their their descendants their their survivors could certainly sue in u.s. courts and ignore this particular settlement what will actually happen will be up to the individual families now boeing itself would just like to use the moment to draw a line under what's been one of the most dramatic episodes in its history do you think it will over time certainly in the memory of this will fade but the world of aviation is such that this event and the aftermath will probably be

a part of boeing's core values for a long time to come this will be a lesson learned which i would hope future generation of engineers and managers will take to heart and that in the future any design issues which may lead to a problem should be openly revealed to the customers and to the various authorities around the world who sort of fire planes. thought that it's great to get your perspective on this thanks very much to qantas from essay for dot com thank you for having me. there are no more people in u.s. hospitals with corona virus than at any other time during the pandemic over 132000 people have been treated and on thursday almost 4000 people died that is it's west of it daily death toll critics say people are not being vaccinated fast enough because of a lack of direction from the government california remains the epicenter were officials say on average there's

a new death every 15 minutes and it got occurrence in miami in florida and he says the situation there is not 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 a season 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 state of emergency will come into effect in tokyo on friday the month long restrictions are an effort by the government to get corona virus under control ahead of july's limpid games but it's got hype in the reports some experts say the measures do not 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 in april this noodle restaurant has been in june days family for 26 years now she has to close at her usual peak time the after work crowd. and i know we 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 olympics just months away prime minister your she he day had hopes 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 battered 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 has. been pushing a little bit too early a little bit too much and i think people realize that 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 our spirits at the start of what will be a long month for many. al-jazeera the world health organization says europe is at

a tipping point in its crate of virus outbreak it says more infectious variants of the virus are raising alarm. who is also calling for safe compromise when deciding how long the gap between the vaccine doses should be its warning that the 2nd phase of biotech vaccine japp should not be delayed by more than 6 weeks the u.k. is holding off by up to 12 weeks to give more people a single day. this moment represents a tipping point in the course of the pandemic the science politics technology and values must form a united front in order to push back this persistent and elusive fighter's which means that for a short bit of time we need to do more than we have done and do. the public health and social measures to be certain we could flatten the steep vertical line and have

a high profile chinese forward executive has been sent to jail for bribery the former chairman of the china development bank got life in prison for taking more than 13000000 dollars in bribes between 20092019 earlier this week a court sentenced lives to death for bribery and corruption while hitting a state owned asset management. so this is observe these are the top stories and more than 24 hours after the storm if the u.s. capitol building the president has finally condemn the actions of his supporters donald trump says those who broke the law will pay you also pledged to ensure a peaceful transition of power and i continue to strongly believe that we must reform our election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all voters and to ensure faith and confidence in all future elections.
