looking at the next year of sanderson. with the election behind us will the republican party dump truck to the hill weekly take on us politics and society that's the bottom up. to those who broke the law you ok donald trump condemns the attack on capitol hill and says he wants a smooth transition of power to the biden ministration. they're on the clock this is out 0 life and coming our. president has committed and assault on our nation and our. house speaker nancy pelosi joins called don't trump to be removed from office and another cabinet member quits over the storming of the u.s. capitol building. the president elect joe biden has called the people responsible

for the unrest to domestic terrorists plus a landmark court ruling in south korea and japan it's ordered to pay compensation to women used to sex slaves $3.00 world war 2. so more than 24 hours after the storm of the u.s. capitol building president donald trump has finally condemn the actions of his supporters in a major shift in tone he's gone from people to march on the capital before the unrest to now saying that those who break the law will have to pay for their actions this video. trumps return to twitter account was blocked in it he said he was outraged by the violence and called for healing and reconciliation he also pledged to ensure a peaceful transition of. 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 where the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi called on vice president my presence to invoke the 25th amendment i remove president trump from office in calling for additional 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 of cabinet do not add a congress may be prepared to move forward we can pietschmann meanwhile education secretary betsy devils has become the 2nd cabinet members of quit of the violence comes off of the transport secretary elaine chao announced that she is stepping down let's cross over to hide your customer who's standing by for us in washington d.c. and he said that we have this change in tone from the president. that's right and

he didn't use the word concede or concession any time in this 2 minute video but this may be as close as we get to president trump knowledge ing that he lost the election we heard him say that it will be a new administration sworn in on january 20th and he committed to ensuring an orderly transfer of power saying that this was a time for healing and reconciliation now it was quite obvious that this was a strip did speech that likely was not written by trump himself and in fact in the past when made by his aides or convinced by his aides to put out such a video as this he is oftentimes reversed course because of his resentment of having been coerced to do such a thing that he was not likely to do on his own however it is obvious that the fallout from yesterday has been increasing by the moment and indeed what a shift in tone as compared to the rally that trump oversaw in yesterday morning

that set off the violent storming of the u.s. capitol which was incited by trump and self telling supporters to march upon the capitol and stop the voting to acknowledge joe biden as the true winner of the election but certainly this video being put out on twitter today by president trump may be a response to stave off the wave of resignations we've seen now 2 secretaries on the cabinet having announced their resignations along with the former white house chief of staff mick mulvaney resigning his role as an envoy as well as several other deputy positions in the white house also doing this likely seeing as how the calls for an earlier terminations to his presidency are mounting as well. also heard from none super lazy coding for the 25th amendment to be invoked is that likely to gain traction. well that all depends on how vice president like pence

responds we know the democrats are in support of the 25th amendment which would terminate the presidency because he's incapable of performing his duty but the vice president has already hinted at that and not wanting to do that just 13 days before this term is already set to expire fearing that it would only unleash more chaos in washington and so pelosi has said that the next order of business would be congress possibly moving forward with impeaching president trump again there is very little time left on the calendar for that to take pace and nearly impossible task in fact so that pushes us into the realm of the unknown of whether or not congress may impeach someone who's in the middle of leaving office and will have left office by the time there is a trial if there is one at all what we do know though is that a growing number of even republicans have waist support for the 25th amendment

being invoked one republican representatives say he would support that another say he would not stand in its way and republican governors also saying that trump should be removed early from office or a hearty thanks for the things to hide your culture there in washington well it's enough richard goodstein who's a democratic political consultant and he says the troops apparent concession is just 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 and 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 incite 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 vile 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 named. chris and so let me has more now from wilmington on the reaction from the u.s. president elect joe biden. he very specifically did not say anything about whether or not the 25th 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 capital 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 rightist mob ensure actions to measure chairs 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. well the chief of the capitol hill police

department resigned on to as they one day off to supporters of president trump to seize the u.s. capitol building the event has led many americans to point out the stark difference between how black lives matter protesters have been treated compared to those who went to the capitol building who are mostly white so 100 has more now 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 unchallenged. 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 about freely for hours and then when it was all over simply walked out. some protesters were escorted out furious at police later. but. there was tear gas and flash bangs but relatively few arrests $68.00 in all 7 for carrying illegal firearms and other weapons the rest for curfew and unlawful entry violations there were $427.00 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 the reason 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 here on al-jazeera the indonesian cleric who founded the group behind the true 1002 bali bombings is freed from prison. on kong's residents are left wondering if the opposition can survive the middle questions of what is and is not legal. it's time for the perfect gentleman who went on sponsored plan qatar airways

the relatively quiet weather continues throughout the middle east both to turkey that is turning rather wet on the western side of turkey iran's in the sunshine the tension tear around that plus 7 there are showers floating around in the middle of saudi arabia and in the mountains further west with about the kicked up to become thunderstorms the red sea in port sudan it could well be wet but generally speaking this remains remarkably quiet considering time of the year maybe because the actions been elsewhere we have at the moment just creep into your screen got a tropical cycle and make it slow way west we've had significant rain as far west as namibia recently and we will see significant more rain in the general area if this time the year but including namibia yes it's the wet season but it has been particularly wet sconces coast so still looks dry and it should be he's got a cold current and a cold wind it gets ready to rain in a normal year but time to get to saturday the showers do the same sort of shaping

running out through zimbabwe and further where the rain is wanted but look down a level this time has made some progress and is heading towards the course isn't exact but during sunday and monday you will be affected by this tropical cycling. qatar airways ok calm and make sure you're not hyping the situation be part of the debate my main characters are women when no topic is off the table the law is in the last allow child marriage to happen legally these are basically archaic walls that often legitimize and legalize pedophiles. online jump into the comments section and the team to be part of the discussion this stream on out is the era.

but again you're watching al-jazeera reminder the top stories this hour and more than 24 hours after the storming of the u.s. capitol building the president has condemned the actions of his supporters donald trump says those who broke the law will pay he also pledged a peaceful transition of power. earlier u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi joined growing calls for president trump's removal from office close allies such as republican senator lindsey graham who also criticized his handling of the crisis the president to lay has described the trump supporters who stormed capitol hill as domestic terrorists joe biden accused the outgoing president. an all out attack on the country's democratic institution. now in an unprecedented room in south korean court has ordered the japanese

government to pay compensation to a dozen women used as sex slaves during world war $2.00 tokyo has called the ruling regrettable and unacceptable up 220-0000 so-called comfort women mainly from career before to work in brothels run by the japanese military before during the war many were raped beaten tortured and killed while others took their own lives robert bright has been at the hearing inside. 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 agreement in 965 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 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. the indonesian cleric who founded the group behind the 2002 bali bombing has been released from prison 82 year old bakar bashir 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 a province just washington is at the prison and vogel just outside chicago with more on the reaction to the current 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 mechanism 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. more people are now in u.s. hospitals with corona virus than any other time during the pandemic over 132000 people are being treated there the 4000 people died on thursday the country's worst daily death toll so far the critics say people are being vaccinated fast enough because of a lack of direction from the government california remains at the center and

officials say on average there is a death every 15 minutes in miami in florida and he says the situation 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. brazil's corona virus death toll has now passed 200000 the country's outbreak shows no sign of slowing with its number of new daily cases increasing to a record have nearly 88000 experts are warning that the numbers will get worse due to the recent christmas and new year's holidays the brazilian government says it's at least 3 weeks away from beginning its vaccine campaign. for the 2nd day in

a row the number of covert 900 deaths in the u.k. has passed 1000 senior health service officials are now warning that london's hospitals could become overwhelmed within days john hall reports from london. britain's vaccine rollout isn't going entirely to plan at one local doctor's practice in central london supplies of the newly approved oxford astra zeneca jab hadn't arrived as expected or quickly the health secretary was there to oversee distribution now we can make sure that it gets to all those g.p. surgeries like this one can do all the vaccinations that need it now the rate limiting step is the supply of vaccine and we're working with the companies both pfizer and of course astra zeneca to increase the supply and supply is proving a problem since december 1 and a half 1000000 people have received either the pfizer or astra zeneca jab most with

only a single dose so far the 2nd delayed in the hope that more can receive a 1st dose more quickly it's a life saving strategy said mr hancock is not one supported by the drug manufacturers or the world health organization at all make me feel more comfortable going out to the shops to shop and things went bad you know. because. it's always a crusade. mixing with people. the government is a long way from injecting 2000000 people a week required to meet its target of 13900000 of the elderly and most vulnerable by mid february this is a national challenge on the scale like nothing we've seen before and it will work choir and i'm precedented national effort and of course there will be difficulties appointments will be changed a bit as brigadier prosser will shortly explain the army is working hand in glove
