will end in less than 2 weeks but many say it's too little too late and resignations within his inner circle an increasing that alan fisher is at the white house we're going to be speaking to him in just a moment about the push to remove trump but for us to get on to begins our coverage from washington d.c. . more than 24 hours after his supporters right at the u.s. capitol donald trump twitter video finally condemned the violence. that shocked the nation to those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent our country and for the 1st time and in a dramatic shift in tone the us president acknowledged he lost the election a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power earlier incoming u.s. president joe biden blamed trump for unleashing what he called an assault on

american democracies and lambasted the pro trump rioters there were protesters don't dare call them protesters they were a rightist mob insurrectionist domestic terrorists on thursday a cleanup inside the nation's capital and a return to normal as most trump supporters who took part in the rally and subsequent rioting appeared to have left town and headed home outside fencing around the entire capitol complex to avoid a repeat of the day before and there was increased security including the presence of national guard troops. meanwhile both democratic congressional leaders and at least one republican lawmaker are calling for trump's removal from office. by spray didn't get in both the 25th amendment today and of the cabinet both he's gone they

should do it now president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people all week asians and the president has become not just from his remit 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 are 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 cables on al-jazeera

washington ok let's bring in 1st who has been following the all of this from well for us from the white house allan there's a lot of speculation going on talk us through what's been happening. people he was saying the 25th amendment that's not going to happen no there's reporting here in the us this morning that both might pump and stephen minucci in the secretary of state and treasury secretary both big allies of donald trump have privately discussed whether or not to invoke the 25th amendment but it's not going to happen the reason it's not going to happen it's up to the vice president to make the 1st move mike pence doesn't want to do it for a number of reasons possible because he thinks it will impact him politically because he wants to run for the republican nomination in 2024 and he thinks by alienating the trump base that's not something that's going to win the nomination here's the 2nd problem he's got he's not entirely sure that he'll be able to get it through the cabinet you need a majority of cabinet members there's

a big legal question over whether or not acting secretaries can cast a vote and there are 3 of them at the moment and of course we've lost 2 other secretaries from transportation and education just in the last 24 hours and then there is the 3rd problem doing that means that it would take at least 3 weeks to work through all its processes because once the 25th amendment is invoked the president can say i don't agree and then it's got to go to congress so the timeline simply doesn't fit there's not enough time left to do the anything however impeachment is still very much on the table and so there are those in congress who want to move this very quickly saying even if it means impeaching him after donald trump leaves office on the 20th it's something that they should do and they're certainly support among democrats obviously but also a number of republicans and off to get it through the house i'm not entirely sure i don't think the numbers stack up but it's something that they want to do and they

also say that if they impeach donald trump that he can't run for federal office again that is a big incentive to some republicans because of the damage he's done to the republican party and here in the us this morning the wall street journal. editorial board has told donald trump it's time to resign before he becomes the 2nd president the 1st president ever to be impeached for a 2nd time and we're beginning to see talk about donald trump possibly wondering about pardoning himself just talk us through what all that is about. well he's been talking about this since the summer and of course he's issued a number of controversial pardons you can think about roger stone and michael flynn justice 2 of them but he believes that he has the power to self pardon there's a couple of problems are that 1st of all if you do pardon someone for a crime you've got to be specific about the crime you are giving them a pardon for so don't trump what exemption you have to see i'm guilty of this but therefore i mean i'm giving myself

a pardon so i can walk away from this the 2nd thing is that donald trump throughout his time in the oval office has used the department of justice memo from the 1970 s. that says a sitting president can't be indicted for a crime and he's hidden behind that to a degree is certainly used it but the other part of that memo says that but you can't self pardon and donald trump as we know quite likes to ignore things that are inconvenient and that's right there in the department of justice so there's every possibility that if donald trump gave himself a part in it would be challenged in court is it likely that he will give himself a pardon well if i was a betting man i would say the odds are better than 75 percent that he will do that it's whether or not he is able to that is going to be a challenge that will be sorted out in the courts of the u.s. and probably after january the 20th allen thanks very much indeed that's on an official talking to us from the white house in washington d.c. i want to talk to laurence douglass he's a professor of law jurisprudence and social thought post-college is joining us live

by skype from sunderland in massachusetts good to have you with us thank you very much indeed can an impeachment process that adam was talking about if it started while the president is in office continue after he or she leaves office. yes i suppose it could technically continue past the term of office and obviously as your correspondent pointed out the point would no longer to be remove the person from office 1st is already out of office but the idea is that it would bar the person from then seeking higher office in the future what do you think the motivation is behind seeking while we're talking about the 25th amendment 1st of all and that's all i'm suggesting that's probably not going to happen now we're talking about impeachment what do you think is the motivation for pushing trump out of office given the fact he's only got like $1314.00 days or so to run in his term anyway what are people of faith he's going to do. well i guess maybe there are 3 separate

things one is again did this fear that he could create even greater problems in the remaining 13 days so that even though that period of time is pleadingly brief that there is still his remains an exceptionally powerful human being as we all know and that he could cause greater damage to the country i suppose the 2nd point is this idea that he has violated his oath to the constitution rather than in defending the constitution we could say that he has actually emerged as an enemy of the constitution and he deserves to be punished for that and then i suppose the 3rd thing as we already just discussed is to make sure that he can restage come back in 2024 so it suppose there are 3 separate elements behind the thinking about to removing him from office now donald some wasn't the only one who was.

saying provocative things ahead of these riots rudy giuliani his lawyer for example was was quoted as saying similar things as well what happens if nobody is prosecuted for provoking or inciting this violence what message does that send. well i again it's kind of you know it's very difficult as a legal matter to prove a case of incitement i mean if you go out and you say something like we need to fight the results of this that still action you can easily come along and say hey by sight i didn't mean actually sickly engaging in some kind of foreign concept so it is a difficult thing i think what is important is that these people are roundly condemned for having created a climate and have issued the kind of dog whistles that made this kind of attack if not inevitable than highly probable so i don't think it's necessarily critical

to make sure that these people who are responsible are actually brought up on criminal charges as much as that we have a deep national reckoning with the kind of perversion of the civil discourse of the country which really made this attack happen good to get your thoughts on this long as douglas professor of law jurisprudence and social thought at last called we appreciate it sir thank you very much indeed a pleasure. very more ahead on the news hour including why south africa struggling to come up with an effective vaccine rollout strategy an unwanted coffee break how call for 19 and the low prices for being so threatening colombia's harvest. and in sports the n.b.a. star that made it rain the freeze in portland basketball action coming up later in the program.

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 feels traumatized happy but he said he has done his sentence and that's the law 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 bashir 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 stratton's do but she has supporters have long called for him to be freed because of his aids and poor help but the question of his release has always been 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 jessica washington al-jazeera. a court in pakistan has sentenced the leader of an armed group to 15 years in prison for terrorism financing zakk over who's a top commander of the alaska tell you the group is accused by india and the u.s. of being behind the 2008 moon by attacks the charges and sentence brought by pakistan are not related to any specific incident the u.s. state department's welcoming the development but also warns like the trial for the moon by attacks a south korean court has ordered japan to pay compensation to $12.00 women used as sex slaves during world war 2 so says their treatment amounted to

a crime against humanity japan's described the ruling as regrettable and unacceptable but what bride reports from so. the culmination of a case that has gone on for 8 years this was a significant ruling by seoul's district court tomorrow. i feel deeply moved it is the very 1st court ruling in favor of these victims of the japanese. the case was brought on behalf of 12 surviving so-called comfort women or their families young women or girls who were forced to work in wartime brothels by the japanese imperial army during world war 2 the court ruled all had enjoyed unimaginable mental and physical pain and had not been compensated they were each awarded the equivalent of more than $90000.00 u.s. dollars to give them a good compared only to mortal this could have wider consequences japan prides itself on being

a civilised country yet it has not addressed this humanitarian issue since this defeat in 1945. japan has refused to recognize this case maintaining it goes against the internationally held norm of sovereign immunity that no nation can prosecute another through its courts. we demand that south korea takes the appropriate response to correct this breach of international law as far as japan is concerned this issue is over it says all matters relating to south korea's wartime suffering were settled by an agreement in 1965 when the 2 countries normalized relations and that a further compensation agreement specifically for the comfort women was signed in 2015 that was meant to settle the matter finally and irreversibly tokyo has been angered by other court rulings in favor of south korean victims of war time forced labor that led to deteriorating diplomatic relations and the trade dispute

and this latest ruling looks certain to 1st. the sour relations but for south korea's comfort women in this case represents a form of justice after more than 75 years problem bride al jazeera so stephen has a senior associate professor at the international christian university in tokyo he says both countries have politicized the issue which is a disservice to the women seeking justice but this comes at a very precarious time and bilateral relations between japan and south korea. both publics see each other each other's country at a very low level there is little trust between the governments and it really has something to do with domestic politics in both countries as well as the deep politicized ation of issues such as the comfort women issue. marilee from the south korean side but the japanese as well they do hold blame for not being upfront

and forthright about their responsibility for these women the koreans have the moral argument here that they say the greatest acts against these women should be acknowledged by the state of japan but on the other hand you know the japanese have the legal argument here in 1065 at the normalization treaty as well as the 2015 comfort women agreement on the south koreans and the japanese at the governmental level made a commitment to put these issues behind them and there was funds transfer to these could comfort women and their families so it's a complicated issue it's an emotional issue and quite frankly from a 3rd country what if you think these women are being. victimized all over by by the japanese government as well as the south korean government by continuing its the bringing this up and not solving the issue. the united arab emirates will reopen its air sea and land borders with qatar on saturday qatar airways has already rerouted some flights through saudi air space with the 1st flight from doha

to johannesburg on thursday saudi arabia the u.a.e. buckley and egypt agreed this week to restore ties with after the 3 and a half year book aid and some of the joining us now to talk us through some of the details how is this going to work out in practicalities. well the announcement comes from the undersecretary of the foreign ministry in contrast to what we saw from saudi arabia where the foreign minister as well as other high ranking officials not just welcomed the emir of qatar but announced this that they will be lifting the blockade so it is worth noting that a not a lot of details have come out on what this gradual lifting means as the air space and space bill become open to cut 3 flights and ships from saturday what will it mean for people how will they be able to travel back to their families it is worth remembering that there is a lot of tribal and family ties among the people of catherine other blockading nations including saudi arabia and bahrain this is the 2nd country which has

announced that it will be opening its airspace and. space to see bar borders to other what is interesting is that united arab emirates remains the most invested country against the blockade in the blockade against qatar if you remember just 3 years ago the united arab emirates launched a very active campaign on media and social media and when the blockade began there were active campaigns run not just from. the soil but also lobbyists who were hired elsewhere as well so a lot has been said and done in the last 3 years so it will take time before all of the relations are back to normal but it is a welcome development which has been welcomed by our not just players inside the gulf arab nations but also from outside world as well people saying that now that these ties are rebuilt being rebuilt again it will make easier especially in the fight against corporate and the movement of goods and people but

a lot has been said that there's a lot of water under the bridge in the last 3 years and there are no real friends or enemies in diplomacy once you've invested so much against a country it will take that much more longer before ties can back to normal some of thanks very much indeed osama bin heard talking to us from here in doha. london's mayor has declared a major incident for the city as hospitals are struggling to deal with covert 97 cons warning that the british capital is at a crisis point john hall is joining us now live from london tell us more about what he's been saying. yes well this news just in the mayor of london city essentially calling a medical emergency across london across the city's hospitals which we know are struggling to cope with the rising infection rate here as much as anything else caused by this extremely vigilant variant of the coded fire us at the same time the

office for national statistics told us earlier today that in the week up to jan or the 2nd 1100000 fetal had the corona virus that is the proportion of one in 50 of the population of england rising to 130 here in the capital so it is rampant at the moment out of control that's been pointed out many times on thursday we heard loud warnings from the national health service from leaders of the national health service warning about the capacity of london hospitals to cut 30000 people countrywide are currently in hospital that is a record figure here in london they are being admittedly to hospital at a rate of around $800.00 people per day to give you an idea of the size of that that is the entire capacity of some thomas' hospital one of the flagship hospitals here in the capital and the big warning on thursday was that over the course of the next week to 10 days or so leading up to the middle of january this year is that if

infection rates of admission rates continue to rise at various level hospital beds will simply run out with a shortage across england of 5 and a half 1000 beds possibly by the middle of january all of this of course gives rise to the all full spectrum of doctors and nurses in n.h.s. hospitals not just here in london but of course the focus at the moment is here in london having to make life and death decisions within the next week to 2 possibly over the next couple of months about who they will be able to treat and who they will have to leave in just a few hours ago we were hearing from britain's transport secretary he was saying things very the vaccinations might not be effective against the south africa. variants of the virus what's going on with that. well yes this is another big concern of course because the race right now is very clearly between the virus and the vaccine even though there is a lockdown in place the lockdown itself is not going to do all of the job that

needs to be done grant shapps the transport secretary earlier announcing sweeping new entry requirements for people coming into the country trying to control the border trying to keep that south african variant out he said but there are concerns about how effective the vaccines available might be against particularly the highly transmissible south african variant of the vaccine may not respond in the same way to the south african village he said so we simply cannot take any chances interesting lee on this though there is a new report that is out a study a lump or a tree study that's been made in america by pfizer the drug manufacturer with a biotech that put together one of those vaccines along with scientists from the university of texas they believe that the pfizer vaccine will work against the particular mutation present in both the u.k. and the south africans the so-called n 501 why this doesn't of course apply necessarily to the oxford astra zeneca

vaccine that's the other one available here nor specifically to the modern of vaccine which is just today being given approval by the u.k. medicines regulator we await date there on both of those the hope is that the government is here simply pointing out the fact that there are concerns you can't be 100 percent certain of course rather than that they might know something about those other vaccines that the rest of us perhaps do not turn to thanks very much indeed john holl in london it's time for the weather here's rob. a couple of days ago again this vehicle would hit the finals of china and in among these conditions a minus 40 to minus 50 is the day starts doesn't get much better to be honest as the day goes on that it wasn't snow of any significance most people but for some parts of china for example chandon this potential here of the yellow sea there was snow and they'll be a bit more but it's 10th die out same is true in south korea but in japan it's just been piling up in western home she right up to to her kind of 0 temperatures here

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 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 robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. and south africa there are concerns the government won't meet its targets of vaccinated 2 thirds of the population against covert 19 by the end of the year although the government has secured some vaccines it still well short of the millions of doses it needs from it a mother has more from johannesburg in this mobile footage hospital workers in the president's whole province mourn the death of another colleague to 1000 south africa's battling a 2nd wave of the disease so far tens of thousands of health care workers have contracted the virus and more than $430.00 have died. the need for a vaccine is now more urgent than ever so far the government says it will get $1500000.00 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine by february this fall and we're doing

that meaning. that provision to achieve it in unity and approach. we thought was for. our communities and therefore we sort of rode. through this to do with the 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 but that still tens of 1000000 short of what's needed to immunize the majority of all 59000000 south africans. this is despite running trials for 4 vaccines 4 months and planning to manufacture a millions of doses for pharmaceutical companies professorship in 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

a while read 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 iran's supreme leader's bang the imports of u.s. and british coronavirus vaccines iran is the worst affected country in the middle east with more than 50000 covered 1000 deaths began human trials of a locally developed vaccine last week. then the entrance of american and british vaccines into the country they have thousands of deaths on a daily basis if they could treat this disease with vaccines their people wouldn't die in such huge numbers we can't trust them i'm not very optimistic about france either our officials are allowed to prepare vaccines from other countries but not the us or the u k. 2 major cities in the chinese province have been closed off in response to its most serious outbreak of the virus and months it's part of
