well there and this is where authorities are coordinating the search effort as you mentioned authorities just announced that announcement from the police here in indonesia at during this search of the java sea just off the coast of jakarta they did discover a body parts between the islands of lucky island and lunch on the island and obviously this is devastating news for the relatives of those on board. 182 authorities have also announced that they did find what appears to be clothing from the passengers and the crew on board that flight they also found metal scraps during their search of the area in indonesia's west comment on in the city of pontianak these people were waiting to welcome their family and friends but anticipation turned to devastation as they heard flight as gerry wanted to have gone missing this man was waiting for his daughter.

i was supposed to pick them up this is my 1st daughter i won't ever see them again . more than 60 people were on board the sri would jaya flight from jakarta to pontianak infants and children were among the passengers the plane lost contact just 4 minutes after takeoff. controllers at the jakarta approach saw that the plane was not flying at 75 degrees but was headed northwest the air traffic control os the pilots to confirm where they were headed not logged off within seconds the prior went missing from the right. the boeing 737500 was at least 25 years old the flight had been delayed by 30 minutes due to heavy rain in the indonesian capital a search team says they believe they have found debris from the plane in the sea close to the 1000 islands north of jakarta the national search and rescue agency

and navy have dispatched teams to the area fishermen say they heard a loud crash already have established a crisis center here it's a part of your heart that airport in asia is busiest airport for relatives of those on board to speak with authorities find out what happened to their loved ones they've also established a crisis center in front they are not in west valley months are the relatives who were waiting at the airport for their loved ones to disempower in jakarta area found out his family had been on board. around 530 or heard the news i asked my friends to make sure that it was right and it was for my family members were among the victims. sri which has never had a major safety incident authorities say they are working swiftly to find out what went wrong now with just 10 days left in his presidency donald trump could well

become the 1st u.s. president to be impeached twice democrats want to hold trump accountable for the riots at the capitol building but left 5 people dead including a police officer where the house speaker nancy pelosi says if trump doesn't resign immediately should impeach him. sadly the person is running executive branch is a direct 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 is it nothing is off the table. and that plan could be formally set in motion in the house as soon as monday with a vote likely on wednesday all this as the nation's law enforcement and intelligence agencies work to identify the perpetrators more than 50 people have been arrested gabriel elizondo has more now from washington d.c.

. it's expected that if it does go to a vote that it will probably pass fairly easily because all they need is a simple majority the democrats control the house of representatives narrowly but they control it but it won't even matter much because we're also hearing about republicans who are expected to potentially sign on to these articles of impeachment as well after that though it gets a little trickier because then it's going to go to the senate for a quote unquote trial as it's called and donald trump will not be removed from office unless the senate or 3 fourths of the senate agrees to actually for lack of a better word convict him there's 2 problems here number one can they get 3 fourths of the senate to agree upon that it's unsure on that and then the other issue as young as 11 more days in office would they be able to do that in the next 11 days that's also potentially problematic as well however we do know there are at least 4 u.s. senators that are republicans that have already said they would. and do believe that

donald trump should be removed from office immediately that's for republican senators which is quite significant bottom line though is we do expect impeachment proceedings against donald trump to move forward as early as monday tuesday and wednesday of this coming week well christine pelosi is a democratic strategist she says what started out as a ceremonial certification of an election has now led to multiple legal problems for the president and his support of. this was something different this was a rally where people were told to go to the capitol to show strength that they they were instructed by the president to not show weakness and as they were marching there and as they said they were going to storm the capitol for a revolution he and his attorneys were on the phone with senators trying to to delay so while we have our 5 people dead including the police officer we have staff

that are traumatized property that's been damaged and the an insurrection an outward attempt to change that moment of the transfer of power and that is what needs to be pursued criminal charges are going to be pursued against. the mob a felony murder investigation is underway with respect to the dead police officer capitol police officer killed in the line of duty hit by a fire extinguisher and as for the president and his conduct the pres the congress has 3 choices they have impeachment which says this is a high crime insurrection of the 25th amendment which as you described was in part saying he's not able to carry out his duties they also have the 14th amendment which if you look at section 3 of the 14th amendment says that the congress can if somebody has participated in or abetted an insurrection they can be stripped of their title and not allowed to run for office again.

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 or 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 coronavirus we wait now to see whether or not the vaccine wins the race against the virus some good news in that the british government has approved the use of the maternal vaccine the rollout of that will begin fairly soon and the hope is that by the middle of february 15 1000000 people some of the most vulnerable people to getting the coronavirus of being hospitalized or potentially dying will receive the vaccine but in the meantime the message is very much to stay at home. southern
