25th amendment is off the table that is it nothing is off the table but the man is reverberating among democrats armed some republicans articles of impeachment of been drafted and are expected to be brought to the house of representatives on monday this as the nation's law enforcement and intelligence communities work to identify and detain the perpetrators more than 50 people of the arrested let's go live to washington of sirius gabriel elizondo is there for escape what's the latest on plans to impeach the president. well they're moving forward because it's just heard there from nancy pelosi she says if trump does not step down that she will pursue impeachment and it really is up to her as a speaker of the house and she has a lot of support behind her pretty much from her entire democratic caucus as well as a growing number of republicans in the house and senate as well but for nancy pelosi
5:03 am
it's the it's the people in the house of representatives that matter for her because that's where she's a speaker of the house the democrats are hoping to push through impeachment very very fast it's expected that palosi over the weekend has been working on finalizing the language of the articles of impeachment we saw a draft of it that was leaked friday night to journalists here in washington but that's not the final version she's working on the language of the final version over the weekend and then we could have a vote on impeachment in the house of representatives as soon as tuesday or wednesday of next week perhaps. and then all they need is a simple majority there which seems almost assured at this point and then of course it would go on to the senate where that would need 2 thirds vote of all of the senate for donald trump to be essentially convicted and then removed from office that's a little bit more uncertain if that would happen in the senate because could that
5:04 am
all be done in the next 11 days that donald trump is president time is running short bottom line though is that there is growing growing pressure not only on donald trump to step down but beyond that growing pressure by the democrats to push through this impeachment proceedings which will be kicking off for sure on monday here in washington with again a potential vote as early as tuesday or wednesday trump of course would be only the 2nd president i'm sorry the 1st president in u.s. history to be impeached twice out series gabriel is under reported live from washington good many thanks. the capitol siege camps that you multi-use for years under trump which have seen a marked rise in racial injustice and police brutality brian levitt is the director of the center for the study of hate and extremism at california state university in san bernadino each of us live via skype from san diego good to have you with us
5:05 am
president elect biden says that the the capital rioters are domestic terrorists how does the u.s. team radicalize its far right extremists and will rights under the constitution the the right to bear arms for example hamper any attempts to do so. great great question let me answer the 1st question the the last question 1st the 2nd amendment supreme court has held does not allow you to have a gun anywhere at any time and that even from the most conservative justice from a 2008 supreme court decision called heller with respect to off ramps for people who were involved who were involved in radicalization there are some wonderful organizations like life after hate but there are very few of them relative to the people who are extremists we have quite a number of extremism and depending on how you parse it you're binge surveys that
5:06 am
show for instance 43 percent say whites are under attack you have been others polls that show that cuban on membership or belief it's not a group goes into the millions upon millions and we see these deeds murderee bubbles of millions of grievances on particular the hard for and conspiratorial right along with these these insurrectionist 2nd amendment gun folks so the problem is a lot of these folks don't want to exit and then when the few that do there aren't a lot of resources for them because those groups do this work so well like like after hate can't possibly take on all these people so it's got to be done through a public health perspective and we are so our center is actually going to be working with physicians on how to do this is a public health problem as well and what are the treatment what are the people that but you you wouldn't necessarily process extremists just ordinary people who fall in under the spell who've been lied to who see conspiracies and genuinely feel that
5:07 am
the election was stolen how do you deal with and trenched opinions when they have the basis in fact. thank you it's very difficult and it actually influences when we see extremism pop up a lot of folks are expecting extremists to be on a boil at a certain point right after election time but it plateaued it was only after in that alternate universe to people began to realize that the president trump is not going to have a 2nd term they changed who leer aggression is directed towards it was 1st state and local officials public health folks progressive democrats jews globalists you name it now the expanded to mainstream republicans law enforcement and others so this is an insurgency that we have going on now and we shouldn't take it lightly so that's a big problem luckily just today for instance after president trump was already

dropped from twitter apple has dropped the alternative platform that many trump supporters are on called parlor and not going to be almost a death blow as one of my friends said today to big developments just in the 1st few days of the year big developments with respect to you know how these movements grew getting access to social media that is being curtailed quite a bit and the hampering of the president what happens going forward will be very interesting but we're looking at this transition period to be a time of heightened risk that will not dissipate later but it may change a bit in form and how this violence is manifested. on the subject of trump's expulsion from from twitter and policy say to the social media platforms in the u.s. despite concerns of a. free speech but they do they need tighter regulation. possibly but look here's the thing as private companies the 1st amendment doesn't

apply if i if if i own a restaurant i can ask people to leave as long as i'm not discriminating against him because they're they're jewish black or muslim or something but you don't have a right to have your message distributed for free and there are terms of service contractually that being said i'm a bit concerned about regulations let's see what they could beat but right now in the 1st week of the year these social media companies are doing a much better job let's see what they do going forward it's a little bit like playing whack a mole like this movie that we had with the rodney dangerfield was looking for the goal for on a golf course and eventually they blew up the hall that looks what it looks like what's happening today one thing real quickly it remains to be seen what amazon will do because they deal with a lot of these companies to providing certain kinds of web support but bottom line is there's not a 1st amendment concern under a constitution because these companies are private companies that being said it does censor in the sense that people may not be able to have access but you don't
5:10 am
have a right even under our constitution here to promote violence here's there's something called incitement and that can be outlawed if certain conditions are met a likelihood of violence and an imminent imminent sea of violence and i think more and more of the social media companies are looking to have some kind of parallel set of regulations who is going to talk to prime many thanks to brian levin the in san diego thank you and to all our friends who are on the world thank you so much. and today's even best to gates is a far more wreckage in the search for missing passenger plane a boeing 737500 disappeared from radar shortly after takeoff from the capital jakarta 62 people were on board a dozen ships and helicopters were deployed to look for the crash sites jessica washington reports. indonesia's west valley mountain in the city of pontianak these people were waiting to welcome their family and friends but anticipation

5:26 am
a curious nationalist from a conservative ruled background. he was a member of parliament on the one of 3 presidents overthrown in revolutions over the last 30 years. despite his recent promises to crack down on corruption his critics say he's being soft on leaders of powerful criminal networks by offering them amnesty if they hand over stolen and laundered money to the state. this is deplorable surrounded by supporters after they freed him from jail and stormed the parliament building in october he says what he described as kyrgyzstan's 10 year experiment with parliamentary democracy has failed yet that voters are being asked to choose between a parliamentary or presidential system in a referendum the departure of called for when he was acting prime minister opponents accuse him of planning to expand his own presidential power if he wins

5:30 am
a half year jail term before he was freed and he has promised to crack down on corruption here but he's offered an amnesty to criminals saying if i hand back the money that they've stolen then they can go free so there are concerns about just how hard he's going to be on very powerful criminal networks here as i say though it seems very much that this is a one horse race despite there being around 15 other candidates they're not getting a look in and it's very early days the polls have just opened literally a few minutes ago it's going to be very interesting to see voter turnout certainly pundits that we've spoken to say that they don't believe that many of our of opposition will actually come out or opposition supporters will come out and he the ball the voting. very interesting events of the last couple of months is going to be fascinating to see how today unfolds many thanks indeed for that live in bishkek .
