nation and our people all we care issues and the president has become not just from this. region is a from reality. senior republican senator lindsey graham doesn't believe removal is appropriate but did deliver this rare rebuke of his friend and ally when it comes to accountability the president needs to understand that his actions were the problem not the solution and in the wake of the riots resignations including 2 cabinet members transportation secretary elaine chao and education secretary betsy divorce president trump's conciliatory message will be seen by many as his attempt to salvage his legacy and rebuild his image in the final days that he occupies the white house the question is it too little too late gabriel's on dough al-jazeera washington. well one police officer has died after being injured in wednesday's
1:05 pm
riots and the chief of the department has resigned the event has led many americans to point out the difference between how black lives bought up protestors have been to use it compared to those who enters the capitol building who were mostly white john hendren has more from washington d.c. . washington's mayor calls it an invasion of the city to all 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
1:06 pm
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 left ups. capitol hill police retreated as the intruders to go over and challenge. kristin 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 be 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 states 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
1:07 pm
invaders continued on their rampage they broke in anywhere 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 that police were there. the government. 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 organization is a monstrous mess is that the one and 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
1:08 pm
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 times of year is a professor of political science at the texas and m. university he's joining us live by skype from here in doha good to have you with us let's deal with these calls to get the president out early 1st of all in terms of i'm bringing in the 25th amendment could the 25th amendment actually be invoked effectively and should it be. well i mean of course it can be invoked right the terms of the 25th amendment leave a lot of discretion to the president's officers but the cabinet and the vice president to determine what constitutes
1:09 pm
a presidential disability it seems unlikely that the remaining members of the president's cabinet and vice president will take advantage of their prerogative to remove him. it says certainly a difficult case and particularly since it's likely the president would contest it and since his supporters have shown a willingness to sort of exceed the boundaries of normal political discourse you know it is going to have a very uncertain situation so you know the united states is very much on the knife edge over the next week and it happened so inauguration day let me ask you about the relationship between the president and his supporters now because of course he's now come out and essentially done a u. turn and said that those who were involved in going into the capital should be prosecuted i think he referred to it as the keenest crime how much from support is going to react to him now that he said that. i think they'll continue to react to
1:10 pm
him as he has when he has distanced himself from from their violence in the past from from charlottesville or other kinds of. political violence perpetrated by his supporters. you know he has frequently come out after the fact and criticize those acts but in half hearted terms that sort of pale in comparison to the passion with which he encouraged them to act in the 1st place and i think his continue his orders will continue to take heart from the words offered beforehand telling them to go to the capital and to never concede and then they'll see the remarks that follow as sort of a an opportunistic or necessary gesture that doesn't really weigh heavily on their on their decision making and now does seem that the republican party in the u.s. is divided into trump's supporters and the rest of the republican party can the republican party continue to contain they feel like some supporters or are we
1:11 pm
looking at a situation where we might be heading towards a multi-party political landscape in the u.s. because donald trump does have a very significant following in the united states. you know the electoral rules in the united states are that our 1st past the post system make it almost impossible to support a multi-party system and the question isn't so much whether a 3rd viable party can emerge it's whether the republican party chooses to organize itself along traditional lines and in pursuit of traditional goals or whether becomes a kind of right wing populist authoritarian party and the model of you know the law and justice party in poland or a few days in hungary and you know i'm stunned to just say things like that but it is very much an open question about whether the republican party will remain. committed to its traditional values and to the american constitutional system as
1:12 pm
it's existed or whether the will take a detour into a different model of you know participation in democracy we were talking earlier about this possibly the statement by donald trump promising a smooth transition being part of an effort to try to preserve some sort of legacy looking forward how much damage do you think this is done to his prospects for really running for the presidency in 2024 but i mean not only his prospects with the prospects for pretty much any members of his family and also the senior republicans who have been following in his wake for several months. you know the president has said and done things over the last 4 years since he was a candidate that would normally have been disqualify for a candidate for the presidency or high office in the united states from you know the access hollywood tape to the both sides commented in charlottesville i am stunned again and to you know watch him over and over again and survive and
1:13 pm
continue to draw support. you know after these incidents and so you know i think it will be another case of him having said something that momentarily shocks the conscience of the country before turning back to his established brand of politics and continuing to win substantial support practicing we appreciate you joining us on al-jazeera and giving us your thoughts joseph you're on thank you very much indeed thank you very much. the indonesian cleric linked to the 2002 bali bombings which killed 202 people as being freed from prison of a block of bashir served 10 years of a 15 year jail term study as prime minister said bussy his release is distressing to the families of the victims most were foreign tourists including $88.00 astray and nationals as a washington reports from bogle in indonesia. one of indonesia's most high
1:14 pm
profile inmates is now a free man abu bakar bashir let go into a prison after more than a decade behind bars he was serving a 15 year sentence for his role in funding a militant training camp in indonesia's northwest and was given sentence productions for good behavior but for many the name abu bakar bashir is a reminder of the worst bomb attack in indonesia in history more than 200 people died when bombs ripped through bali's tourist district at the hands of the group jemaah islamiya the shia was one of the co-founders of the group and its organizational head at the time of the attacks. in 2002 too many was working as a cashier at a popular club in bali and at the end i could hardly stand the pain from the buttons i had to hold on to my intestines i was afraid the inside of my stomach would fall out her burns have healed but her hearing never recovered and she still
1:15 pm
feels traumatized happy but he said he has done his sentence and that's the role but as a victim i feel so angry in australia memorial sites have been built to honor the 88 australians killed in the blast 6 of them were eric to hearts friends he was burnt trying to rescue others from the wreckage of a nightclub he says his release is a disappointment he's never regretted it he's never owned up to it but i thought i could still remains australian prime minister scott morrison says the release is difficult to accept this is very distressing. to the friends and families of of the of the australians the idea of the strike ins who were killed in the bali bombings of 2002 i still remember that diary very vividly like i'm sure many of stratagems do but she has supporters have long called for him to be freed because of his age and poor help but the question of his release has always been
1:16 pm
controversial now with his sentence up authorities in indonesia had no choice but to let him go but he will be monitored by police for the rest of his life. security experts say his influence has diminished during his time behind bars this doesn't change the equation. in indonesia and it doesn't suddenly sure there are going to be more terrorist attacks or that he will do any inciting to terrorists. he often describes himself as just a preacher but for those who survived the bali bombings. will forever be remembered as a symbol of violence jessica washington al jazeera. correctly it is an associate professor of indonesian politics at this training and national university is joining us by skype from canberra thanks very much indeed for being with us he became the face of the bombings but did that really reflect reality.
1:17 pm
certainly in astronomy or he was regarded as the mastermind of the bali bombings but that in fact is not an accurate description he gave his blessing to detain the people though he was trying to trying to. keep any particular details when i approached him in need 2009 he didn't ask at the time but it's likely that the bombing would not have proceeded heavy not given his approval sorrowed he bears a lot of measure of responsibility so he wasn't involved in your professional details and so it's not probably fair to call in the past more than once. given the fact that he became nevertheless the face of the bombings is he regarded as as great a threat now on his release. sorry that your signal broke up just a little bit if you are going to let me ask let me let me ask the question again i
1:18 pm
was just wondering that given the fact that he became the face of the bali bombings and i was involved and also the setting up of training camps i believe in does he present as great a threat no as he did then. thank you that's not in fact that he doesn't. he's not getting good health that's been widely reported he's 82 huge divide each which is. beyond me i give most indonesian mean and particularly the fact that he's very he must be one of the older knights in an indonesian gyal of police until he was released the prison authorities are done a very good job at separating him from many of the current jihadist networks and in the major during his time in jail of the last 10 years and so he's not just closely involved as groups and the 2nd of the other thing the sa is that the
1:19 pm
indonesian security forces will have him very closely monitored now that he's free everyone he made and if we call he takes every social media communications we can expect that those things that we closely followed and were he to engage in actions jeopardizing the nation's security it would be locked out of the police will take from the actions of indonesia's police that. they have a very good record of uncovering jihadist operational i think at the end of a bucket she will be someone could be under a very close scrutiny as a result of that as we're hearing in jessica's package though it sounds as though that despite what you're saying that's going to be little comfort or little sockets are they the families of the victims or quite clearly place a great deal of responsibility for what happened on him. sure but. we all have to keep in mind how the nation legal and correctional
1:20 pm
system operates and so he has a 15 year sentence the reason what many countries would probably regard it as a fairly gentle birth remissions system. is also he's i know he shoots the government has been trying to use a number of the people in the prison system them particularly people have called mobilise to convert and so there are multiple reasons why i. buck up. and be really at this time is nothing unusual about it and it doesn't suggest that the government is making concessions to know what it is lamington by releasing particular thoughts and this clearly is truly a national university we appreciate it thank you very much indeed but about ahead on the news hour including the end of the festive season brings a record death toll in the u.s. following a nationwide surge in cases and hospitalizations no entry without a 10 negative coronavirus test and new rules for passengers traveling to the u.k.

1:25 pm
recorded in los angeles since the pandemic began we are truly in a crisis mode right now california's public health officials have ordered the state's badly overextended hospitals to postpone all non-essential surgeries. it's very tough i think prison based tell you that you cannot get over the middle row for something that you desperately need testing centers across the country are swamp with additional cases of the more infectious variant 1st identified in the u.k. spreading in more locations around the country there are also concerns about a variant found in south africa which seems resistant to some covert treatments some of those mutations might have a negative impact on the efficacy of some of the monoclonal antibodies that are used so we're looking into that very carefully some frontline health workers began
1:26 pm
receiving their 2nd dose of that scene like these in illinois that is they start to getting you know moving on with life as usual and now all we really hope for is for the rest of the community to be allowed the same opportunity the worst may be yet to come as people infected over the winter holidays start needing care public officials are begging people please stay home don't be stupid i know how tough it is right now i know how much people need to be together i know how much they want to be together but if people die they will never be together a dire warning as the virus continues its relentless spread rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles. in south africa there are concerns the government won't meet its target to vaccinate 2 thirds of the population against covert 19 by the end of the year of all the government has secured some vaccines and so well short of the millions of doses it needs founded in miller has more from johannesburg. in this
1:27 pm
mobile footage hospital workers in the cause aluna told province mourn the death of another colleague to covert 1000 south africa's battling a 2nd wave of the disease so far tens of thousands of healthcare workers have contracted the virus and more than 430 have died the need for a vaccine is now more urgent than ever so far the government says it will get 1500000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine by february this fall and we're seeing that mean. that progression to achieve it in unity and approach seems drawn out of the box in the beginning we think it was for. communities and therefore we sort of broadly sense through this is to do with these issues we're going to south africa expects to get millions more doses of a vaccine by the 2nd quarter of the year to immunize 10 percent of the population
1:28 pm
but that still tens of 1000000 short of what's needed to immunize the majority of all $59000000.00 south africans this is despite running trials full for vaccines for months and planning to manufacture a millions of doses for pharmaceutical companies professorship or marty's been leading one of the trials at the barack one of the hospital in some way to the notion of talk if you could convince made 67 percent of its population better and of continuing to run unfortunately tests with all due respect very naive for a 1st month we would need to fix an $850000.00 people per day 7 days a week from a 2nd one to one with 4 victims that required 2 doses of vaccine we would need to vaccinate $300000.00 people per day every day of the week and political year for us to get to 67 percent of the population the health care system is already overwhelmed and simply doesn't have the resources to cope with an extensive immunization program. coming up with an effective vaccine rollout strategy is not
1:29 pm
the only challenge for the government according to a survey for the world economic forum conducted in december almost half of all south africans say they won't take a covert 1000 vaccine. a new more infectious variant of the virus in south africa has raised questions about how effective existing vaccines may be as south africa faces a resurgence of covert 19 that is already exceeding the 1st wave experts are worried about a 3rd and 4th wave especially as vaccines for most of the country appear to be a long way off from al-jazeera johannesburg south africa. button's time for secretary says he's concerned vaccinations will not be as effective against the south african variant of the virus has extended travel ban on passengers from multiple southern african nations and anyone entering the u.k. will not have to show a negative covert 1000 test all passengers including u.k.
1:30 pm
nationals will have to take a test up to 72 hours before departure let's go live to join hala in london john what's the transport secretary been saying about this ferry and and also about the vaccine situation. but this is grant shapps speaking a little earlier this morning in fact announcing those new arrivals requirements on passengers coming into england at this stage but it's likely to be broadened out to the rest of the u.k. as well and making these comments saying that there are concerns these doesn't make it clear who's concerns exactly they are but there are concerns about how effective the available that vaccines might be against the highly transmissible variant in south africa in particular the vaccines he says may not respond in the same way to the south african variant so we simply cannot take any chances now it should be pointed out that since the u.k. variant was discovered or announced at least just before christmas it subsequently
1:31 pm
spread to a great deal of countries and then the south african bennett a lot of scientists of spoken out saying they have a high degree of confidence that the vaccines would work indeed there is a laboratory study being reported on friday conducted by pfizer the u.s. manufacturer of one of the vaccines along with scientists from the university of texas that says that there vaccine they believe is effective in neutralizing the virus along with the so-called n 501 why mutation that's the key mutation that they believe is present in both strains so it's curious that mr shapps is making these comments now particularly without evidence to back them up possible i suppose and this would be worrying that he knows something that the rest of us don't let's hope not. let's talk a bit more about the the tightening of the border controls because there is an argument isn't there for people saying that this is actually too little too late that this should have been done really a long time before. you know what this is the u.k.'s
1:32 pm
response or the next level response to these variants strains that desperate to keep the south african strain out of the country of course along with whatever worries the government has about the effectiveness of the vaccine is it too late well yes of course there will be some people a lot of people probably who will say it's many months too late a number of countries have had these sorts of measures in place for a long time now the british government has always said well there is the science isn't there to back up the effectiveness of blocking or impeding international travel some people have said well that's back based on economic concerns the government has said will instead we put a quarantine system in place on the arriving passengers and that's be just as effective look it's one of the eternal questions of this pandemic were they right or were they wrong for the moment there is a virus and a variant in this country that appears to be out of control deaths above a 1000 for the 1st time since april hospital admissions at record levels dial warnings about the state of the national health service beds in london set to run
1:33 pm
out in the worst case scenario within 2 weeks critical care beds it simply seems that no one is arguing anymore they have to do what they have to do jonah thanks very much that's john hall bringing us more on those toughening border restrictions in the u.k. talking to us from london john i thank you a stern is also requiring travelers to show a negative covert 1000 test before boarding a plane to the country that says the city of brisbane enters a 3 day lockdown 2000000 people have been told not to leave their homes except for essential business authorities are trying to stop the spread of the more infectious strain of corona virus that's been found outside brisbane's quarantine system for the 1st time. we are going to go had and we are going to go early actually everything we cane to stop the sprayed of this virus is incredibly can tie just we have to act differently to what we had before any delay could see significant if

1:35 pm
itself temps is a drop down to near freezing and we've had quite persistent snow it's not yet finished either in stop it is our common thing it happens every now and again in the capital and most of central spain is quite high above sea level so throughout saturday we're going to see more falling i think anything from 20 centimeters to half a meter from about this point right up to the north coast of course more to the peyronie's the pier nice as it slows recoded temperature in the last day or so minus 34 clear that's not typical but it is cold enough to snow and then this strong wind indicates stormy weather just on the east coast and over the body erik's. so spain that's the central part of europe and warsaw represents it's been quite an cold continuous knows he's lucky on saturday and sunday before the cloud breaks on monday that's just a slow process and is more star likely from norway and sweden in the north of europe in the south after spain's had it it goes across to repeat the process in the balkans.

a south korean court ordered japan to pay $90000.00 in compensation to 12 women used as sex slaves during world war 2 japan's described the ruling as regrettable and unacceptable. widespread flooding continues to swamp many parts of central malaysia heavy rains have killed at least 4 people a left more than $50000.00 sheltering in relief centers flooding hits the east coast during the rainy season every year and regularly results in mass evacuations but some people say this year's floods are the worst in decades. 2020 and 2016 now tide is the warmest years on record according to the european union's climate monitoring service scientists say unprecedented heat levels in the arctic and siberia were a major factor in the overall rise in temperatures last year but they could stabilize if emissions rapidly reduced global warming as cause more drugs how to
1:39 pm
conserve and wildfires. as a senior scientist at the e.u.'s copernicus climate change service and she's joining us live by skype from reading in the u.k. and it's good to have you with us thank you very much indeed after a year of almost standstill of air travel and traffic on the roads around the world was this kind of change what you expected to see. love love cannot understand this as quite in the now showing the climax a certain way even by the last ever duction in emissions in 2020 compared to the a before and not doesn't translate immediately into a production and in the writes rate of c o 2 and office say we made that the concentrations in oz say increased by about. 2 a little bit about 2 ppm according to preliminary numbers and the reason for that is that there was a continent missions but nevertheless we did
1:40 pm
a lot of loss of here to retain 2000 the serna such a concentration i've continued to increase similarly with temperatures there is not a direct much between the compensations that one yeah it is quite a slave responding system even if we want to come emissions completely which we did not do last year they will still be allowed to respond to temperature with lou sea temperatures increase for a number of years and even decades off the subject of how much does what you've just said explain then the slight dip that appeared to be between 20162020. in time so this great great great enough to say you mean yes i'm both saying it's difficult to say because. there are there's a lot of things like going to the office at the gym in the mission but old has a bias. free thoughts and takes locked carbon dioxide and there's not true flux is
1:41 pm
a very very large say in what is this thing rest the signal between you know the human imprint in wanting it and the natural one. that's very very difficult and they've read auctions have lost a lot not lost enough to clearly see that impact or to distinguish what impact that hot we mentioned before that there were unprecedented levels in the arctic and in siberia why were they concentrated in those areas. well certainly i think in times of unprecedented it doesn't go for the annual mean in the arctic i think that the arctic would have been one of the 3 will most if for the arctic according to new numbers at least but it was indeed he tried it with was tied to 8 degrees north of dokic cycle for the 1st time at least according to the russian much larger savage i'm the reason this a lot of as they always difficult to pinpoint
1:42 pm
