9:04 pm

9:05 pm
priority when asked if trump should be removed from office he said this i've had a number of my republican colleagues former colleagues serve 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
9:06 pm
tweets were also taken down by the social media giant. gabriels and oh jazeera washington well we have 2 correspondents on the story in a moment still speak it see it's a good name his sen joe biden's home time wilmington delaware and sponsor eco heinous following all the developments from washington d.c. but 1st more pictures are emerging from the moments capitol hill was overrun and the appear to reinforce perceptions that a sparse philly's force was outnumbered and overwhelmed one police officer was killed here's a 100 pound was was . a police officer is crushed in a doorway capitol building copper tween an angry crowd and outnumbered police which . was the a lapse in security on the stage where joe biden incoming harris will be sworn in
9:07 pm
as a us president and vice president in a few days' time. they point out that i was. inside the chamber members of congress to cover before supporters of president donald trump entered. dozens have been arrested was the they include richard barrett who broke into nancy pelosi office and later bragged on television about taking her mail the activities of those involved in the siege of our capital were violent they were destructive they resulted in tragic loss of life and they threaten our nation's security and those actions. cannot be tolerated in this people must be held accountable and it was amazing to see the president talk. some and did not survive. air force veteran ashley babbitt was filmed attempting to enter the speaker's lobby through
9:08 pm
a broken window before being shot by an officer a scene captured on several videos according to the journalism website belling cat officer brian sick nick died from injuries he suffered on wednesday flags in the capital are being flown at half staff in his memory police say some protestors were armed including with homemade explosives this person is suspected of leaving pipe bombs at the democratic and republican party headquarters another man was arrested with guns and 11 bombs containing homemade napalm in his truck others are expected to be prosecuted many had not worn masks and were filmed health officials are also warning that the event could have spread coronavirus and may have consequences for public health and or schapelle al-jazeera. well patty cool he joins us now live from capitol hill and patty given the more dramatic footage that is a marriage being it seems congress really is gearing up to take punitive action against the president. they really are what i think as early as monday you could
9:09 pm
see the u.s. house of representatives vote to impeach donald trump again now before it went through committee they're going to do it expedited process because it only has what 11 days left in office so an expedited process they could vote as early as monday just need a simple majority 'd then the question is what happens in the senate the senate has to have a trial they don't necessarily have to have witnesses a pro per the last time the question is when if all of the side there's all $100.00 of them say we want to check they could do it starting next week that seems unlikely given the president still has some allies in the senate so that in january 20th joe biden becomes president and you could see the outgoing president facing an impeachment trial there is legal precedent you can impeach an official once they're out of office if he is impeached that's a tough order to be 2 thirds of the house the senate to vote for it then they could have another vote the simple majority and bargain from ever holding any public office again so people in washington are very angry and they basically are said to
9:10 pm
say that he just needs to go no matter how he doesn't listen to. sadly the person is running had to branch is a drainage unhinged dangerous president of the united states and 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 one isn't nothing is off the table. and that's the words of president. and runs a lot particularly in these past 4 years but just taking a broader view it's not just unprecedented just been traumatic particularly for people in the city for you are right now 1st we have those violent black lives
9:11 pm
monsters proved se us and then we've seen those shocking images beamed around the world from the capital how are people in d.c. coping with this. not well it's been a long long couple of months and culminated in the invasion of the u.s. capitol this is not happened since 812 and it was the british who got into the capitol last time not only american citizens and there's growing concern about how organized this was they came with zip ties they came very close to being able to hold hostage their protests potentially harm about 70 members of the u.s. congress so as the days of gone by we're learning more and more about how it happened and some of the capitol police officers behaving so brilliantly trying to persuade up to a mob that they were completely outnumbered by and others who are going to be investigated for seeming to help the rioters so there's just
9:12 pm
a lot to sift through we're starting to see people being arrested people who called it the best day of their life and then once they're out it lose their face criminal charges or say they didn't mean to do it there's a lot of feeling in this city that it's not over because we're seeing social media they're saying they're going to try again it's a much more heavily fortified build even complex right now but there's still a lot of palpable fear. quite passee coup here in bringing us the latest live from capitol hill thank you very much indeed let's cross now it's the wilmington delaware where you can speak with natasha can name natasha the hearing about the aftermath of the was essentially been 4 years of division culminated in the shocking events that we saw in washington d.c. just days ago the jewel boys and was. on a promise to be the great unifier to bring the country back together but given that
9:13 pm
we're not talking about another possibly divisive pietschmann proceedings do you think president elect biden is likely to support that particularly as he assumes the presidency turns into january. president elect joe biden has said that with regard to impeachment proceedings that is a decision for congress to make reporters tried to nudge him numerous times on friday during a news conference to see if he would allow aberrate and he kept returning to the fact that this is a decision for congress he did however have a very harsh critique critique of president trump he said that he's been saying for months that trump is not fit for office he's an embarrassment to the country he's not worthy of the office and he's one of the most incompetent presidents in american history but he says the question is not about removing president trump
9:14 pm
from office the question is what happens between now and the lead less than 2 weeks before inauguration day biden says he is focused on he and vice president elect harris being sworn in and then getting to work to quote immediately pass legislation that would bring economic relief to millions of americans who are struggling facing eviction struggling to put food on the table and to get funding to state and local governments this was a mid from the previous stimulus package package and state and local governments need an assist they need help with vaccine distribution biden says he plans to insure that 100000000 americans get that vaccine in his 1st 100 days he did talk on friday about what happened on january 6th that probably a day that will live in infamy in u.s. history the rampage at the capitol he called the people who participated in that
9:15 pm
mob he called them fogs insurrectionists domestic terrorists white supremacist and anti semites and he says the department of justice needs to conduct an independent and thorough investigation but again it will be up to the department of justice to determine exactly what charges that they'll face a recent p.b.s. merest. reveals that almost half of americans polled believe that stuff should be taken to remove president trub from office but when you look at party affiliation the picture gets a little different more than 80 percent of democrats think that trump should be removed from office but more than 80 percent of republicans believe he should not be removed from office president trump has said that he will not attend the inauguration and that biden says it was one of the few things that the 2 men can agree on he says that vice president mike pence is welcome to attend the inauguration in keeping with historic protocol there is
9:16 pm
a historical precedent by the way of president skipping the inauguration of his successor but that hasn't happened since the early 19th century biden has said that it's important for these traditional protocols to remain and even. early as last week had said that trump should attend the inauguration in keeping with these protocols but that was before 5 people died in a deadly rampage at the u.s. capitol. well let's say with this joining us now from bethesda in maryland is unless men he's a professor at steve american university and author of the case for impeachment the keys see the white house is good to have you with us on the use our we've got to see powell controversies really running side by sights me have another impeachment
9:17 pm
for the u.s. presidents and trumps banishment from social media do you think that tyrann so links in some way do you think that you know given tom's pirates often lain in his twitter feed do you think this twitter ban means that it might be easier or more likely that he'll be impeached or removed from office the true are intimately tied together look donald trump has never been elde accountable for anything in his entire life i've still baffled at how we walked away from 5 bankruptcy's 8 nothing and somehow got hundreds of millions of dollars in tax deductions he wasn't held accountable for obstructing the mall or investigation or shaking down a foreign power now he is being held accountable in 2 fundamental ways he's about to become the 1st american president to be impeached twice by the full house that's never happened nice has his media platform take it away from him he is
9:18 pm
a creature of his online voice without it his voice is incredibly muted and his influence over the next 4 years is going to shrink appreciably and that that may be the case but it is his ban from twitter and facebook and instagram is it constitutional. of course it's constitutional these are private party forms they have a right to ban people not arbitrarily but certainly according to whether or not they pose a clear and present danger to the outbreak of violence and trump has proven that he has incited insurrection incited violence and that's how the ban on twitter
9:19 pm
is intertwined with impeachment and by the way it trumps incitement of violence didn't start on wednesday it started 4 years ago he has been flirting with violence he has been lying to the american people he has been trashing our democracy for 4 years you know i give absolutely no credit to hypocrites like senator lindsey graham and senator ted cruz who at the 11th hour on the 59th minute of this administration are suddenly breaking with donald trump they have a naval his attack on democracy and his incitement of violence for 4 years and quite but the american constitution it protects the right to free speech it's tweeting or expressing your views no it's. free speech i mean are these part of your misunderstanding of the constitution you miss you miss
9:20 pm
understand the constitution yes i have a right to free speech that doesn't mean i can publish in the washington post or the new york times or get on al-jazeera and st you don't let anyone get on al-jazeera a bit and the same essential means it is so social media that i'm sorry to cut you off but al-jazeera we're going to say i off calm we were deemed to be we were subjects of regulation and it seems that these social media sites aren't so i mean are they publishers more are they and does this this this role that they have because they have lighter meeting that rice. they have a right not arbitrarily to decide who is going to publish just as you have a right to decide who gets to speak on al-jazeera has nothing to do with your being regulated you don't just keep people off out using your own who are violent you are
9:21 pm
very soft left you know who you allow on al-jazeera. so do you think social media sites they don't have any responsibility here it's all because i know conservatives are very upset about the fact that they feel that their speech is being curtailed their reach is being curtailed because they're not able to reach their large audiences do you don't think that the social media companies are going to be facing some kinds of some kind of backlash from conservatives died in a i don't know a legal routes or is there to be some reckoning with conserve suppose ation somewhere down the line. i'm sure there will be lots of protests but look one thing we learned about donald trump and his followers that they are very good at their masters of it deflecting blame it's always someone else's fault
9:22 pm
it's not the fault of twitter that donald trump is being banned from twitter it's donald trump's own fault for using twitter as a vehicle for the incitement of violence he has no one to blame but himself if he wants to understand why he's banned from twitter he should look at the very lots of other individuals and groups have been banned from twitter this is not unique to donald trump ok allan lichtman so i'm afraid we're out of time it is great to get your thoughts and your expertise there thank you so much for joining us here on the al-jazeera news hour thank you very life we take care. there's a plenty more still to come on this news hour including the death of a prominent member of gary is opposition fuels mistrusts in the government. and some government funded muslim schools in n.z. are being forced to become secular plus we'll have the sport for you will bring

unity maiming to avoid a man wants to lead the records in germany and he will be here later in the news are. there officials in indonesia say a passenger plane a suspected c. have crashed after it went missing shortly after takeoff from the capital jakarta fisherman who found debris cool thing have given the items to sources to determine whether they're from the missing plane the boeing 737500 as operated by budget airline should be joy or air it was headed to pull carrying 62 people jessica washington has the latest from jakarta airports what we know so far is that just minutes after takeoff just 4 minutes in fact this plane from sukarno hard to airport indonesia's main airport. lost contact and authorities have just
9:24 pm
confirmed that while one side noticed that the plane was heading in a northwesterly direction the air traffic control authorities here in jakarta attempted to make contact with the crews however by that point the plane was already off the radar what we know for what has just been confirmed is that at least $62.00 individuals were on board the plane including 7 children and 3 infants now authorities in the 1000 islands which are chain of islands just north of jakarta very close to the capital city believe that they have found daybreak from the plane the military has sent in reinforcements including helicopters and military vessels attempting to find a one. exactly happened there are also questions being asked of the airline as to the age of this particular boeing aircraft has been confirmation that this aircraft was at least 25 years old but believed to be in good condition we also know that
9:25 pm
the flight itself was delayed by more than half an hour due to poor weather conditions and heavy rain here in the capital so authorities today and while they continue this investigation are asking questions about the age of the aircraft about the weather conditions and we'll of course be speaking to the relatives of those on board. u.k. has officially recorded more than 3000000 covert 1000 cases since the pandemic began and its health department says deaths have surpassed 80000 london's mayor has declared a major incidence in the city saying the spread of the virus is out of control life night scene the farka he joins us from london neve these the figures are well they're not just figures they're people with got over a 1000 people who've died from the corona virus in 24 hours close to 81000 people
9:26 pm
day so far just how bad is it where you are. is extremely bad and let's just talk about how we've been covering the pandemic for the past 10 months some of these figures in the early days were covering on a day to day basis now you know 10 months on it's difficult to try and get your head around the scale of the impact of coronavirus we've all grown to some extent a bit weary of fully understanding the scale of the problem but you can't underestimate how bad things are particularly here in the capital we know of course that the vaccine is just around the bend as the british government keeps reassuring people but before the majority of the population receives that vaccine there may be a significant impact on how hospitals are able to cope a significant impact as we're already seeing on that the death toll of the rate of infection here in the capital the biggest worry of course is this new strain of the
9:27 pm
virus thought to be between 50 and 70 percent more transmissible. when it comes to trying to bring the situation under control although people are keen to follow the rules we know they're wearing masks washing hands and social distancing goes some way but it doesn't go far enough to say the scientists which is why the government has released. a new strategy to try and encourage people to act already like they may have the virus and people around them have the virus this is a serious situation but more needs to be done the same kind of lockdown that was employed during the 1st. wave back 10 months ago just simply will not come this time but the message very much from the government is that a complete long term and following the rules is what's necessary and this is what is the government to about all of this the think is the situation especially from
9:28 pm
observance or at say the u.k. it seems completely out of control where you are so so what exactly is the government doing of planning to see to it to regain some control of this. will give it give it all the back a full back and forth given all the u.-turn arguably dithering by the british government as to whether or not they should introduce a full lockdown or not it has confused the message a little bit is muddied the waters which is perhaps contribution to certain parts of the country even parts of the capital not being as responsive to following this complete lockdown but the onus isn't just on the population to follow the rules the onus is also on them on the government to be able to perhaps help people that call for instance isolate if they're told to isolate imagine you're in a deprived part of london you're living in a house share with lots of other people you're told to isolate 3 track and trace where do you go we know that in other countries in europe hotel rooms are being
9:29 pm
provided that level of governmental care isn't here at the moment but at the same time people are constantly getting the message to for instance shut up their businesses remain working from home if they possibly can while here in chinatown a lot of these restaurants are open they're offering takeaway services you can go in and eat inside the next step may be to interfere instance to shop these shut these restaurants down completely. all of that will obviously have a knock on the lives and livelihoods of people as well it's a difficult challenge at the moment the hope of course now that the maternal vaccine has been approved here that the rollout will be much quicker in the coming weeks a government hoping that by mid february more than 15000000 people will have the vaccine the crucial period of course of these interim weeks what happens now the message that we're hearing from doctors working the front line behind the scenes is that they are overrun. very troubling situation indeed there in the fire care
