effects. coping through creativity after years of civil war and the pandemic this find a way to heal. and i'm firing all the day's sport including. warrior star stan curry but in a match winning performance as he continues his comeback from him. for years twitter was don't go to platform to promote his policies attack critics and spread false words now it's suspended the us president's account permanently it's the latest consequence of an attack on capitol hill by trump's supporters which could also see him face a 2nd impeachment is on the reports from washington d.c.
1:02 pm
. there will be no more tweets from donald trump twitter on friday night suspending his account permanently saying the decision was taken due to the risk of further incitement of violence trump had 88000000 followers and said he used his account to go around the mainstream media to get his message out but he was increasingly tweeting or re tweeting misleading or false information sometimes even disproven conspiracy theories this is a very big deal i will say it's had a sense of inevitability remember twitter did temporarily suspend his account back on the 2 days ago when the the violent mob marched on the capitol and they required him to delete 2 tweets and then they reinstated him and he made a few more tweets but if you remember when they said that they said further violations may result in permanent suspension or a language to that effect in the halls of congress calls are growing for trump to be impeached a group of democrats has circulated the draft of the articles of impeachment
1:03 pm
against trump that is expected to be taken up in the house as soon as monday it accuses trump of high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting an insurrection and says trump has demonstrated he will remain a threat if allowed to stay in office the white house called the articles of impeachment politically motivated and will only further divide america he must be removed from office house speaker nancy pelosi said if trump doesn't resign she'll move forward with impeachment is said to have yet to sign off on the final wording of the impeachment language in a letter to her congressional colleagues on friday called trump unhinged and said she spoke to a top military commander about ensuring trumps access to the nuclear codes was limited in his final days in office so he couldn't launch a nuclear war with only 11 days left in trump's presidency it's unclear if that will be enough time for congress to vote on impeachment. yet trump is facing the
1:04 pm
prospect of being the 1st president in u.s. history to be impeached twice in already less a 48 hours we have over $150.00 co-authors of this article of impeachment and that does show i think very strong momentum we also have the fact that people multiple people die in this attempted coup and it's something we can't just ignore . the pressure on trump to step down is also gaining steam the latest call comes from republican lisa murkowski a senator from alaska who told a local newspaper that the president is no longer fit to serve out the into his terms on friday president elect joe biden announced the final group of his cabinet secretary picks and said fighting the pandemic in creating jobs remains his top priority when asked if trump should be removed from office he said this i've had
1:05 pm
a number of my republican colleagues former colleagues serve in the senate for a long time call me they are many of them or i was outraged and disappointed and embarrassed and mortified by the president's conduct as i am and democrats. want as for the rioters that set off the crisis several were arrested on friday including this man or richard barnett seen here in a widely circulated photo sitting at nancy pelosi s desk the department of justice has issued 13 federal indictments related to the rioting and more arrests are expected in the coming days trump tweeted from his official presidential account hours after his personal account was taken down he said twitter was trying to ban free speech and silence not only him but also his supporters minutes later those tweets were also taken down by the social media giant. gabriels and oh dear
1:06 pm
washington now donald trump has had a tumultuous relationship with twitter for months the platform you might recall started fact checking the president tweets on may the 28th last year it labeled his assertions about mail in ballots and fraud as potentially misleading and the following day twitter flag another trumps read as glorifying violence he said when the looting starts the shooting starts there was in reference of course to those protests over the death of george floyd and trump was temporarily locked out of twitter 2 days ago and supporters stormed capitol hill this as we know has since become permanent joining us is elliot brennan he's a research associate at the united states studies center at the university of sydney good to have you with us so it's quite unprecedented yes twitter is a relatively recent phenomenon in the history of u.s.
1:07 pm
presidents but it is quite unprecedented for a sitting u.s. president to be banned on any media right what does it say about the u.s. right now. this is really speaking to the incredible incredible political tension that is evident across the united states at the moment. having a social media company put in the position of having just weigh up the public good of hearing from the president directly versus the potential for a sitting president to incite violence is not something i think anyone would have predicted in the heyday of social media when when everyone was excited talking about what were good force for democracy it was how far we've come since then is really evident at the moment don't trump has as you just a child and it's a multi-use relationship with twitter and he's also been pushing for changes to the way social media companies are regulated for what he said is
1:08 pm
a sense is censorship of free speech so right now donald trump and he supporters will be incredibly riled up about the threat posed to free speech in the country at the moment i think a lot of a lot of those who stormed the capitol earlier this which was citing freedom as as the reason that they were doing that they were taking their freedom back so this is something that at once it cuts that line it's quite clear that there was a motivation from the president for people to go and do that at the capitol if it damages his ability to do that but at the same time it makes the same people it confirms it will example. in their anger and that that that question is going to ask is whether dial down the anger it sounds like you're saying this will probably increase the anger and it's not the only way he has to reach out to the public right. that's exactly right the president has a press room that's available to him he can go and talk to the nation and he can
1:09 pm
take questions from journalists but that's not the way he likes to operate his public relations he likes to have an unchallenged access and enormous audience this is a new phenomenon presidents have been just fine without social media in the past what this does. when people look at radicalization and a platforming and detailing violence on social media taking people off these platforms is affective in that it keeps these discussions out of the mainstream of those platforms so that it doesn't do much to day radical i deserve who are feeling angry but what it does is stop the growth of those movements as we have seen occur in the conspiracy theory space of the last couple of years especially. effective long term i mean he could still be featured interview even after he leaves office by the sort of alex jones of this world perhaps even fox news will still pay
1:10 pm
attention to him right even after. i don't think the president is going anywhere and what's especially concerning especially considering his mindset this weight is the prospect of him being unbridled by the ceremony of the presidency i think the republican party is starting to grapple with the fact that donald trump is taking his supporters with him and how they deal with that will will determine the future of the republican party but also how the united states deals with. the individuals who were president president and motivated to commit this political violence that's really going to set set the tone of democracy in in the united states and for some in the world in the years to come because attending this kind of action as a protest as a as a writer establishes physical social networks when perhaps before they were only online and so these people are emboldened that they see themselves as battle
1:11 pm
hardened and they're going to pose an ongoing threat to our domestic security in the united states all right thank you for your 4th analysis on that one thank you president elect joe biden says those who stormed the capitol on wednesday should be regarded as terrorists should be treated as they're a bunch of thugs insurrectionist white supremacist and i semites 6 and there's not enough i mean c'mon you know these church there were these are a bunch of thugs thugs and they're terrorist arrested tears and that'll be a judgment for the the justice department to make as to what the charges should be but the fact is they should be prosecuted and should be prosecuted the difference here is this had the active encouragement of a city president of the united states and the way in which the breakdown in
1:12 pm
security occurred needs to be thoroughly investigated. congress is from fordham university school of law where about security failings in the run up to the riots the worry in particular has to do with the run up to the inauguration on january 20th and the question is were they talking about and are they talking about mounting some kind of other demonstration i mean if you think about it there were somewhat like 40000 people they think earlier this week who knows how many and they're worried about could come in the inauguration so i think the idea is if there is no top person that opinion pinpointing what to do and blasting it out that makes it a little bit safer you know there was a lot of talk running to earlier this week talking about what might happen on the day congress was supposed to approve the presidential vote and it happened and yet they weren't ready and so the question is you know can we take precautions now to
1:13 pm
make sure it doesn't happen again knowing that there were going to be people assembly is very hard to say we're going to have to get to the bottom of it was it that the police were told the capitol police were told do whatever you can't not to confront them so that it will reduce violence or where they told where they part of something broader in terms of breaching the perimeter of the capitol and so we don't know and we don't want to make any you know conclusions but there are a lot of questions out i think that the law enforcement intelligence and military has been ramped up in terms of being aware and digital and and i think everybody make paying attention you know where they should be paying attention on wednesday. more pictures are emerging from the moment capitol hill was overrun and they appeared to reinforce perceptions that a spa spell east fulls was outnumbered and overwhelmed one off so was killed is under schapelle. was

united states hit a new record for corona virus infections on friday with 9290000 new cases its top infectious diseases that expert is warning the number of deaths in new cases is likely to keep rising incoming president joe biden says he plans to speed up vaccinations from brunell's reports. seeking to speed up the lagging nationwide vaccination effort president elect joe biden plans to release nearly all of a little doses of vaccine rather than holding supplies back for 2nd doses vaccines give us hope but the rollout has been a travesty both approved vaccines from pfizer violent tech and moderne require 2 injections weeks apart the trip administration has been holding back about 50 percent of the nation's supply to provide those booster shots biden harris
1:20 pm
transition team officials say biden will use emergency wartime powers when he takes office to ramp up vaccine production and ensure that 2nd doses will be available as of thursday only 5900000 vaccinations had been administered even though 21000000 doses have been shipped and millions more remain in government hands governors have complained of inadequate supplies we don't control the vaccine supply it's all done federally and then we get a proportionate amount. what we get we have to get into people's homes states including arizona maryland and michigan have mobilized their national guards to help with the vaccination efforts of particular concern are the more infectious covert 19 variants spreading in the u.k.
1:21 pm
and south africa and now present in the united states they are much more transmissible than other strains this variant has the potential to throw jet fuel on a already dangerous situation and the reason for that is this something of a turbo charged version of the virus in the sense that it's a lot more contagious scientists in texas announced that antibodies from people who received the pfizer vaccine were effective in repel ing the new strains under laboratory conditions in more economic fallout from the pandemic the u.s. government says employers cut 140000 jobs in december the decline reflects the recent spike in covert cases and restrictions on businesses intended to contain the pandemic and with another post holiday spike expected economists say january's numbers are likely to be a little better robert oulds al-jazeera the outbreak in the u.k.

continues to surge breaking 2 more wreck olds on friday a country reported more than 1300 deaths and there was an unprecedented number of new infections london's mayor has declared a major incident saying hospitals are now breaking point koen live now to new and in london they've understand officials dug his old talking tough a people listening. well the government yes there's a new ad campaign that will be released today in which it will focus the messaging a little bit more the government has been accused ahead of this recent lockdown new total lockdown of modeling its messaging of too many u.-turn so now the shift seems to be away from advising people that they need to respect the rules to enforcing and instructing people that they have to because the numbers are very very clearly
1:23 pm
going worryingly in the wrong direction cases are up week by week by about 30 percent according to study carney as he mentioned there this is an incredibly serious situation because in certain parts of the capital and least as many as one in 20 people now has corona virus the biggest concerns of course about the spread of this new variant of the virus 50 percent more transmissible than the 1st variants and one scientist that's been speaking over the course of this morning has described it as being like a pandemic within a pandemic and the old rules and regulations and the old ways of dealing with the virus in the 1st lockdown just simply don't apply this time around and the 1st 1st the 1st wave it was possible through these restrictions to bring the all important our rate the rate in which the virus reproduces within a population down to north point 6 even with this new total lockdown we can hope
1:24 pm
for is to bring that figure down to north korean 9 so at the moment it is very much a race between the virus and the vaccine i'm talking of that race another vaccines being approved hasn't navies that give me any hope that the vaccines are going to win this race. of course it is hope it is more firepower in the government's arsenal the dearne of vaccine the u.s. manufactured vaccine the latest to be approved here in the united kingdom on top of the pfizer by antec in the oxford vaccines the government is hoping that by the middle of next month as many as $15000000.00 people will receive doses in total of all the vaccines combined $367000000.00 doses and have been ordered now we know of course it's a race between the vaccine and the virus but there's also a very stirring on behind the scenes some bought a fracture the vaccines as quickly as possible and ship them out to those that need
1:25 pm
them 13 and a half 1000000 people are listed in the top 4 critical categories elderly people people with preexisting medical conditions those are the people that are designated to get these vaccines 1st along with medical staff or another front line workers later down that ladder as well but it requires military precision the next few weeks will be key or i will leave a bad thanks so much to me farka. china says it's now ready for a visit by a world health organization scientists investigating the origins of covert 19 earlier this week the team was denied entry at the last minute included dutch for r g professor marion bonds she spoke to our dearest that wasn't who asked about their lay and what comes next. we got a message that the visa had not been resolved so that we were asked to stay where
1:26 pm
we were. waiting for for what else would would follow and so far so dubby acho is discussing with china. you know what the issue is and that he will reschedule work has already started you have been asked to do a deep dive into what exactly happened at the early stages of this and that make. and we have been preparing that in discussions with our chinese colleagues the chinese government has been accused of a lack of transparency about the origins of call that 19 if this mission is gonna happen how optimistic are you that you can find the truth well truth what we are there for is to really look at what is what is there and of evidence so the idea is to go really to the place where the 1st problem was china so far has really agreed to that of reference of course there is. nervousness which is you know
1:27 pm
the. the discussion about the origin of the pandemic has become a little bit politicized it's a blame game it's a blame game and i think that that's wrong frankly. so as it is i hope that we will be able to get into the position to stay away from the blame game and just do the evidence professor cope months as the assumption that covert 19 originated from an animal market in who is now in doubt after china published findings about earlier infections the team will also look into possibilities that the pandemic started elsewhere as chinese authorities have suggested but go up on sas china is the right starting point for their investigation from the similarities between the virus found in people and viruses that were already circulating and bats in the region. and the most likely is that
1:28 pm
that's the rare rare the virus originally came from from bats from bats but are i think it's well possible that there's an intermediate step are you still looking into the possibility that it might have been i'm human mistake there were of course these are these theories that maybe by accident has leaked from a laboratory is that something that you're looking into as well if that leads us to the possibility of a bird free situation then yes we have discussed and we also want to have a look at that and are the chinese authorities willing to let you go into the laboratories so it's been discussed so i'm assuming yes yeah what you want to do is to prevent another pandemic like we are facing today so how crucial is it that the chinese authorities are going to cooperate with this nation if we want to stay
1:29 pm
ahead of these things that we really have to collaborate and share information to learn to prevent them. an unusual and persistent blizzard has blanketed large parts of spain with snow it's frozen traffic and travel leaving thousands trapped in cars or in train stations and airports madrid is one of the worst hit cities it and other regions had 24 hours of continuous snowfall from the odd combination of cold air and the arrival of the warmer storm filomena from the south the weather is coming up next and then why so many people in france say they will not take over the team back see. also full steam ahead the bangladesh ship building industry is buoyant response to the pandemic. and it's small the baseball world mourns one of the league's most decorated managers.

and flood this is just south of the capital not particularly extensive that's not the end of it because during sunday this turned on shore when the still plenty of rain to come in lowell and morocco and plenty of snow to come up in the affluent mountains as well and then if you follow the chain it looks like it's going to be the balkan start monday possibly choosey and vulgar and romania where more significant snow falls. but it. is into the murky world of state sponsored spyware. and the discovery by al jazeera journalists it's 0 like technology as smart as we system. is this the new frontier espionage. think about the sophistication of exploits to break into phones this is as good as it gets. the

european union through neighboring croatia. north korean leader kim jong un says the united states is his country's biggest enemy has threatened to expand its nuclear arsenal kim said the u.s. must withdraw its hostile policy towards north korea if it wants to establish new relations reports from seoul. north korean leader kim jong un's extensive reports in the opening days of this ruling party congress has mostly concentrated on his country's claimed achievements in the 5 years since the last congress but he referred again to the economic failings he admitted at the beginning of this gathering the result of isolation from international sanctions and the global pandemic. as always because the situation is. warranted and. so denying probably
1:35 pm
means. as a counter to such negative views kim was able to highlight big advances in his nuclear arsenal he referred to new missile development such as in submarine launched weapon technology and a new longer range intercontinental ballistic missile capable of delivering multiple warheads with greater accuracy kim jong un also spoke about the need for the testing of new weapons opening up the possibility of more provocative longer range missile launches but north korea has suspended during the past few years of unprecedented summit diplomacy with south korea and the united states it's a far cry from the very commitments to denuclearize ation made in the singapore summit with the us president donald trump just 2 and a half years ago and as he prepares for his successor joe biden to take over came

1:37 pm
disease 6 months after recovering a study published in the lancet medical journal looked at 1600 patients who were followed up 76 percent of them reported suffering persistent problems fatigue muscle weakness difficulty in sleeping are the most common and antibody levels in about 100 patients were found to have dropped by 50 percent over 6 months back and suggest immunity reduces over time the study's authors warn larger sample size is a needed sign of his it is a senior lecturer and global health advisor at university college london school of pharmacy she joins us live by skype from london good to have you with us so looking at all this darters now coming to light do we know how long it will take for those who've had coded 19 to completely get over or all of the symptoms.
1:38 pm
i think it's too premature to be able to give a definitive timeline of that especially because there's going to be so much individual variation depending on underlying medical conditions age gingery than what we are seeing here in the u.k. in this approach long 2nd way we are now in our 3rd lockdown is that the demographic of the people who are being hospitalized is quite different to what we were initially seeing so there are younger patients that are coming in there are more women where it's previously what we saw was a pattern of affecting the largely elderly and particularly male patients so we still have quite a lot of research that's required to better understand long coded and post coded syndrome that she really quantify and differentiate between
1:39 pm
potentially other issues and things that are directly result of the viral infection . what implications does this have for the health care system if people may be struggling with symptoms will offer you know pod's even more. surgeon ways that we have of course the immediate acute response to people who are ill right now and require either i.c.u. treatment or hospital care and a lot of other services have been diverted in order to ensure that these beds are available but in addition to this sort of managing the current crisis that say when patients have to be seen over a period of 6 months or longer ju-ju complications of contracting the virus that means that we're going to have even less capacity less health care workforce
1:40 pm
available for treating these individuals and that will have a knock on consequences on care for all sorts of chronic conditions cancer care of sex so this is going to even turn there are put on what we see globally is that health systems are under extreme amount of strain here in the u.k. there have been as a result. of austerity measures for many years even just coping with flu or the winter has led to a shortage of beds c can imagine now london is innocent state of essentially emergency nearly with a major incident was declared by a mayor because of the lack of hospital beds but when we look at sort of the right now we're not even discussing the long term consequences to this very important study has highlighted and that will further not this will burn out our health care staff. i want to look at something that's in the in the datta how normal is it to
1:41 pm
have antibodies at 50 percent or to drop by 50 percent in 6 months is that a typical thing we see for you know a covert virus i guess and we're seeing a lot of. different interesting research being done in this area but the world health organization has always advised that this is one of the reasons having an antibody passport just wouldn't work that idea was floated around and became quite popular. let's say over the summer period but because these antibodies drop and the immune system works in a different way so just because we have decreasing amount of antibodies doesn't mean that there wouldn't be no protection at all but it does mean that re infection is possible. even though currently that has been quite rare but it does limit the
1:42 pm
extent to which we think that. protection can be offered through that route which is why we need to ensure that vaccination is rolled out as quickly as possible due to the fact that these variants are putting evolutionary pressure or ready these viruses have adapted due to evolutionary pressure and as a result we currently are in a race between mutation vaccination and people will only have as they say still understanding the extent of protection that people have after recovering from it and this is why vaccines are critical to words ending the pandemic but this is actually going to be quite a long process and many other more basic public health measures will have to continue in the year to follow. does this have any implications i'm wondering for the vaccines especially these antibody levels. so if anything
1:43 pm
the vaccine will ensure that people who have depleted levels of antibodies are going to get the sufficient boost that they need to be protected so this again is why the vaccination strategy is so important and it's excellent that we have a broad range of vaccines that are being approved here in the u.k. we've we've just also approved a moderna vaccine but it won't be available to march until march and many other countries have not made by a lot or all agreements with pharmaceutical companies and may not be getting the vaccine number vaccines that they need to even protect their health care workforce and there are vulnerable populations the elderly people the underlying conditions so this disparity will just end up prolonging the pandemic there is there's a lot and it will give the virus an opportunity to mutate even further threatening
1:44 pm
the ficus the of the vaccines that we have now all right thank you so much oksana physical. and france government figures have revealed a quarter of doctors do not intend to be vaccinated against covert 19 unfashionable to reports from masai on why france has one of the highest rates of vaccines captus is in the low. in the southern french city of max a graphic design an eco cole has thought long and hard about whether he wants a covert vaccine and he's decided that he doesn't he worries that the global rush for a remedy mean some safety procedures may have been skipped. i understand that people want to move on with their lives but the world is playing a game of chance i'm not against people getting vaccinated i just don't feel the personal need to do so i mean an age category where my wrists are lower so i'm happy to wait to have more information in the future on possible side effects is what struck many people in france question the safety of covert vaccines
1:45 pm
