forcing businesses to shout indian pharma step up their protests. now u.s. democrats are drafting articles of impeachment for president donald trump's role 'd in encouraging protests which descended into violence inside congress house speaker nancy pelosi says they'll trigger the unprecedented action on monday unless trump quits or his cabinet moves to push him from office themselves on the reports from washington d.c. . and all to meet him to the president resign or face impeachment this is a message from house speaker nancy pelosi to donald trump. with trump showing no sign of stepping down willingly before january 20th an occupation of joe biden it's

full steam ahead for impeachment starting as soon as monday sadly the persons branch is a drain just 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 it's believed palosi spent the weekend going over the final language for the articles of impeachment a draft circulating in washington says he'll be impeached for inciting an insurrection democrats are determined the trump needs to be punished for the rioting by his supporters and they're also determined to make it quick impeachment proceedings and possibly a vote as a release the middle of next week donald trump must be removed from office immediately. he should be impeached. convicted

and thrown out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue f. i have a banister the dustbin of history which is a growing number of republicans in congress have abandoned the president the latest being senator pat toomey of pennsylvania who on saturday said he thinks trump committed fences with a growing tide against trump congress has many options to pursue against the president in his final 2 weeks in office the congress has 3 choices they have met which says. this is a high crime insurrection of the 25th amendment saying he's not able to carry out his duties they also have the 14th amendment that the congress hand if somebody has participated in or abetted an insurrection they can be stripped of their title and not allowed to run for office again 3 days after the riots in washington d.c.

is eerily quiet there are almost no tourists on the streets and many office buildings remain closed because a covert and many other businesses are boarded up like this either because of economic distress or in anticipation of more violence saturday many people who call washington home came out to see a changed city where security remains tight many still trying to make sense of the writing and damage gabriel sandow al-jazeera washington now whether it's impeachment all the 25th amendment forcing donald trump out of office is unlikely the democratic controlled house of representatives could quickly approve articles of impeachment but then they'd have to send him to the senate and that's where trump would be put on trial a conviction and removal requires a 2 thirds majority in the senate and that's where it gets highly doubtful even if an attempt were made to impeach from after he leaves office 16 republican senators

would be needed to vote in favor article 25 of the u.s. constitution allows for the removal of a president who is on able to perform the duties of office it would require the vice president a majority of cabinets and 2 thirds of congress to be invokes let's get some reaction now from the u.s. with our correspondent has the ca and she's on capitol hill so it looks like this may pass the house of representatives but it looks like it's heading into a dead end in the senate why are democrats still going at it. well a dead end up until january 19th because the senate's out of session and for them to take it up if the democrats as expected pass impeachment this week they couldn't take it up in the senate until the 19th unless all 100 senators agree and there still are some trump loyalists in the senate so that seems unlikely but if the house does vote to impeach it seems very clear that the senate will in fact take it

up now the question is can you impeach a president who's out of office there is some legal precedent the 800 cabinet secretary secretary of war he tried to resign before they are the house voted to impeach him for corruption but they went ahead and they had a trial in the senate anyway so. this could be a lengthy process if they said it does start the trial the president could try and take it to the supreme court it seems likely that with that precedent they may say no the trial can go ahead and then if they were to go ahead and have the trial the question is who's going to represent the president right now we're hearing things like rudy giuliani and alan dershowitz so then they would have this this trial then they would vote they would need all the democrats are not 17 republicans to make sure that the president is impeached and then it would have consequences he would lose his health care he would lose his more than $200000.00 pension so that he would be the 1st president to actually be impeached. with that removed because

god but that step will have been taken so the house is likely to take it up this week and i can tell you i think one of the factors here is that we're starting to realize just how close members of congress came to being attacked by the mob because we're starting to piece together exactly what happened and the anger is just getting worse and worse here in washington getting was the relationship between the news vice president seems pretty much strained right now how is that impacting the functioning of the government and the white house. doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of functioning in the white house right now ever since the election we haven't seen the president talk about this horrific coronavirus explosion of cases but it's an interesting dynamic mike pence hasn't said anything publicly but he's been talking to senators senators have said he's as mad as he's ever been because he feels that he's been loyal to this president only to have the president throw him under the bus remember there were riders chanting you know fine mike pence they

were talking they were talking about hanging him there was a new side capitol hill and this is very donald trump he's now angry at the very person who can invoke the 25th amendment and say he's not fit for office so interesting dynamic he hasn't it kate which way he's going to go but we'll have to watch and see how that plays out we will have to watch no doubt thanks so much i think culhane china's state media is criticizing the u.s. for ending decades of restrictions on official contact with taiwan it's accuse secretary of state. of trying to inflict a long lasting scar on china u.s. ties the move has angered beijing because it considers taiwan as its own toed tree my announcement comes just as washington sends its u.n. ambassador on a visit to the island william yang is a journalist in taipei he says the biden administration will ultimately decide

whether this is a turning point for u.s. taiwan relations. i think when it comes to less than 10 days before the trump administration is going to leave the office this comes as more symbolic than actually going to have any concrete impact but however i think for the incoming administration this is going to be a tough situation for them to handle because. over the last 4 years we have seen the u.s. time a relationship really making a lot of breakthroughs that we're on think of even just 4 years ago and now after 4 years of very high level sometimes even provocative approaches that the u.s. has made when it comes to handling the issue with time one of the biden administration will now be held. to see whether they're going to follow through on this particular announcement that pump alle made and if yes then this is definitely going to continue to antagonize the relationship between washington and beijing but

if not there might be the possibility that the taiwanese administration is going to have some doubts about health bar at the biden administration is willing to go when it comes to helping to promote and safeguard taiwan and the relationship with taiwan and the united states. now search teams in indonesia have detected signals emitted by the flight recorder from a passenger jet that crashed into the java sea some wreckage and remains have been trees to police are asking families to provide dental records and d.n.a. samples to help identify bodies the boeing 737562 people on board when it disappeared from the radar minutes off the takeoff on saturday jessica washington in jakarta has more on the search and investigation. we just heard from the authorities who are involved in coordinating this operation we've heard that the point of the crash has been located in the java sea just north of jakarta they will

have the space to see them as quickly as we normally do so we're not actually turning away anybody at the moment but obviously we're having a lot of. anxiety and stress that we are having a lot of buildup of patients at the door and we are still seeing everybody we are. and trying to carry on seeing in the emergency departments anybody who walks in the door whether they code it or not i think what's happening is because the wards are filling up with coated patients a number of patients in the medicine aren't there now having to backlog where they can't do routine procedures routine care that's why we're being stretched to the limits because we're having to use more staff in the ne departments looking after these patients where routine care is then being. mentally affected the number of people who've died from care of it 19 in belgium is now past 20000 more than half the victims have been in retirement care homes the country of 11 and a half 1000000 has consistently reported more coronavirus deaths per capita than

a landslide win for japan they're also mentioning the referendum on the constitution that referendum is asking people whether they want either a parliamentary or a presidential system and again the election commission saying that seems to be a large majority appearing in favor of a presidential system now that is the system that is favored by the man that it is widely believed is going to win this election and by some margin this man's son of . a man of great controversy in recent months as you say a man that was freed by his supporters in the off the mass of those an old elections in october and a man who critics accuse of using bullying and intimidation tactics to position himself into a potential position of power. we've spoken to activists who say that they've suffered threats by his supporters there are also big questions about how he has used parliament in recent months as a means of legitimizing his position as

a runner in these elections of course because those parliamentary elections were knowledge in september sorry in october because of vote buying then the parliament is still standing the m.p.'s in that parliament haven't moved in japan refused parliament to vote him as being an interim leader to get him into a position to stand in this election and also to cool for that referendum the referendum is happening today critics also very suspicious of he's he's cracked down as he describes it on corruption here very powerful criminal networks have huge influence in kyrgyzstan on the politics and the economy of this country to power offices. he will offer the big linchpins the big players in these networks and amnesty if they hand back what's believed to be hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen and loaded money to the state. so there are all sorts of questions about

this man who as i say it's widely expected is going to win this election and by some margin there are also questions about his level of experience and whether he can pull this country out of the kind of economic turmoil that it is suffered for so long about 2000000 people forced to work abroad a huge percentage of the country's g.d.p. coming from rich in cities and a massive dependence on the largest gold mine in the region as well so a lot to think about as these results come out widely believed power of this pyrrus leader man who is very very popular with the rural communities in this country is expected to win and as i say by quite some margin. all right thanks so much charles stafford a parliamentary election is being held in neighboring kazakstan president cutscene jamal. seen here casting his vote is expected to win easily as the only registered
