officially records more than 3000000 covert 1000 cases since the pandemic began we'll look at what the government's doing about it. for years twitter was donald trump's goatee platform to promote his policies attack his critics and spread false it's now it's suspended the u.s. 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 gabriel as on the reports from washington d.c. . 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
8:02 pm
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 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 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
8:03 pm
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 trump's 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 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
8:04 pm
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 individual 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 a number of my republican colleagues former colleagues i've served in the senate for a long time call me they are many of the more eyes outraged and disappointed and embarrassed and mortified by the president's conduct as i am and democrats. one has for

the rioters that set off the crisis several were arrested on friday including this man 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 ardo. washington. speaker of the house nancy pelosi has said in an interview with c.b.s. that nothing is off the table when it comes to a president trump who we dealt with after wednesday's attack on capitol hill sadly
8:06 pm
the person is running negative branch is a drainage unhinged dangerous president of the united states and only a number of days until we can be protected from him but he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him well i gather that the 25th amendment is off the table that isn't nothing is off the table let's cross no live to washington d.c. where pass equal hane is standing by for a 1st up was that like in d.c. right now he's been a rough few days indeed rough few months. it's really i think the only way to describe it is surreal walking around the capitol today obviously looks nothing like it did when i was here on wednesday much more heavily fortified thousands of national guard soldiers walking around the complex a big fence has been put up barricades are now as well but i think in this
8:07 pm
basic overall general area of d.c. there's still a lot of shock that it was actually happened because people just assume that this complex this building was protected and it fell so quickly and i think there's a lot more questions than answers about how some of the capitol police performed how organized it was the riot actually was. scuse me there's a lot of questions and there's going to be a lot of investigations but i think the right now the general sense still after a couple of days of passes how surreal it was how angry people are and how scared that it could happen again because we've seen on social media these people say that they're going to attack the capitol in january 17th not just here but in capitals across the country so around d.c. all the buildings are still boarded up and they're probably going to be for a while after the inauguration. which takes. the action that congress is planning
8:08 pm
to take. with just take us through this impeachment sense. the process that the house dems are using this time will be sped up so they could actually vote on monday with a simple majority to impeach donald trump making him again the 1st president of states to be impeached by the house of representatives not once but twice then the senate will have to take it up it's just part of the process the question of when if it's all 100 senators agree they could start an impeachment trial as soon as next week that seems unlikely to happen so what's more likely to happen then if the house doesn't peach then on jan. 20th 'd get the documents in the house and those start the impeachment trial january 20th you know is a significant day because that's the day that donald trump will be an ex-president so why impeach him while a lot of democrats are saying you have to set a precedent with this there needs to be accountability and there is legal
8:09 pm
precedence that someone who is out of office can still be impeached so that is a tall order for in the senate they would need a lot of republican support but one thing that they're looking at is if it isn't peached then they can take a 2nd vote and with the simple majority bar him from ever holding any office again so that is is something that is being talked about there does seem to be real momentum in that direction ok pensacola him there live for us on capitol hill thank you patty. officials in indonesia say a passenger plane a suspect it's of crashed after it went missing shortly after takeoff from the capital jakarta a fisherman crew thing but given the ice insists overseas to determine whether they're from the missing plane the boeing 77500. budget airline should be joy air. carrying 62 people just washington has the latest from jakarta airports. what we know so far is that just minutes after

age of this particular boeing has been confirmation that. was at least 25 years old but believed to be in good condition we also know that the flight itself was delayed. due to poor weather conditions and heavy rain in the capital so authorities today and. this investigation questions about the about the weather conditions and speaking of the relatives of those on board. the u.k. has officially recorded more than 3000000 covert 19 cases since the pandemic began and the health department says deaths have surpassed 80000 when london's mayor has declared a major incident saying the spread of the virus is out of control and declaring a major instance allies are better coordination between local services and means move resources will need barker is in london he says the severity of the situation
8:12 pm
still hasn't sinking in for everyone. the streets of the capital are quiet but the fear is there not quite enough nowhere near as empty as they were 10 months ago during the 1st of mass despite growing concerns about the speed in which the new strain of the virus is multiplying here in the capital in certain london boroughs one in 16 people are believed to now have coronavirus and all of that has a knock on effect on how well equipped the country's national health service is to deal with the crisis the fear also is that perhaps complacency has set in as well people know that they have to wear a mask they know that they have to wash their hands remain socially distance but in order to bring the numbers down the scientists say the people really need to start seeing this like a pandemic within the pandemic which is why the british government has launched a new campaign to try to encourage people to act as if they already have

8:15 pm
days of showers and now danny has disappeared it looks like it will not become anything they will be showers in barouche's medically for probably no more than that. when all that seems to matter is the headline there is always 2 sides to a story when narratives and counter narratives obscure reality the main there on the one hand the enemy is all believe they're on the other hand the listening post strips away the spin what kind of reporting if you can see on the ground misinformation is right lays bare the bias a lot of people believe things because they want to believe them done covers the uncomfortable truths if you think they did enough to scrutinize the case for the listing posts on alt. the or the or the or.

8:18 pm
a ban. ever since trump took office and even before that twitter has been his main megaphone he had over 88000000 followers and really used it quite readily tweeting often dozens of times a day and that included up until and through the events that we saw on wednesday at the capitol so by closing that account as well as restricting terms ability to tweet from any other accounts it certainly does muffle that make a phone however trump's message is already going out very far there are many other apps and groups that have taken up his messaging and so even though this will muffle the effects of that many of trump's messages will continue to get out and he will still find other outlets to continue his rhetoric trump in so few out his term has criticized the social media sites as cracking down on him personally and restricting free speech and so this move while perhaps constraining trump and
