phone towers force and businesses to shouts indian farmers stepped up their campaign against new agricultural roles. yes democrats are drafting articles over impeachments for president donald trump's role in encouraging protests which descended into violence inside congress i speaker nancy pelosi says they have no choice unless trump's cabinet moves to push him from office themselves or he quits democratic members of the house of representatives expect to introduce articles of impeachment this week whether it's impeachments or the 25th amendment force and don't trump out of office is unlikely is that rats. controlled house of representatives could quickly approve foreign

schools and preachment and send them to the senate that's where trump would be on trial but it's a conviction and removal requires a 2 thirds majority and that's highly doubtful the senate is also adjourned until january 19th that's the day before joe biden's inauguration why article 25 all of the u.s. constitution is for the removal of a president sees unable to perform the duties of office it is the backing of the vice president of the george c. of the cabinets and 2 thirds of congress to be in courts well let's get reaction from our from the u.s. . is live for us on capitol hill see we're now looking at a second's impeachments where do things stand this hour. well you're starting to see this come down to 2 very different camps democrats the

vast majority in the house say they want to proceed with this and they expect to do that this week saying that they have to act even though the president has 10 days in office that they need to send a message that what he did was wrong and he should be removed from office so it seems they have the votes to pass in the house then it goes over to the senate and so what we're starting to hear from some of the president's supporters in the senate in the house is that they shouldn't do the impeachment because they really think the country needs to take time to heal and we just heard from one senator who actually said that the president trying to touch the hot stove on wednesday so he won't do anything reckless again very much the same exact lines they used after the president was peached but not removed from office saying that he had learned his lesson so you've seen it break down the camps but one of the things that i'm going to be looking for over the next couple of days is the polls as you know these are politicians they care about what the polls say the 1st poll that i've seen come out on the reaction to what happened on the capital 67 percent of americans say donald

trump is directly responsible for the attack on the u.s. capitol the number that's striking is it's only 13 republicans who 13 percent of republicans who think that so they're going to want to watch and see if that number moves that could determine whether or not trump is in fact convicted in the senate but that trial isn't expected to start till january 19th at the earliest and then of course there's the legal question of can you impeach a president who is no longer in office legal scholars differ on that there is some precedent that says yes but it's possible the could be delayed while the president takes the case all the way to the supreme court to decide. meanwhile we're hearing more details about. well as more and more videos of come out people have really been able to start piecing together just how insanely close the mob was from getting to the members of congress there's one a video from

a reporter at the huffington post where there was one officer on a staircase and he saw the mob coming and they were right in front of the senate chamber doors who which we don't believe at that moment were locked and in what he did as you ran up the 3rd set of stairs because they kept yelling where is it where's the chamber and so he sort of guided them away from the senate chamber but again this was just within minutes that the they could have easily just turned right instead of gone up another staircase they would have been in the senate chamber with senators present we're also seeing video of the house side front of the speaker's office from the speaker's lobby 3 police officers with people punching the glass around them block those doors in order for about 70 members of congress to escape out the last remaining exit and there's a lot of questions now about whether some in this mob were pretty organized and why and something in advance and so let's hear from representative jim cliburn with what he says is evidence of something very suspicious. because. this is

a. good. fix. to the just. usually. just you know i would not be right. but i'm the guy. that just talked about it so i'm not going to because he's ish i do know this i must say there was just. all the free stuff. and there were people trying to get it and again this is going to be the subject of numerous investigations so probably take months possibly even years but there are clear questions going into just how this happened how could it be that the capitol police department was so wolf fully unprepared that the perimeter was so easily overtaken and why these officers were put in such harm's

way without a plan in place to get not only the capitol secured but the people who work inside the capitol safe and when they was proven that they weren't safe out of the building so a lot of questions to be asked and answered and one of the things as we saw some of the obviously those ones who were close to the senate they didn't know where they were going but others knew exactly where they were going and why is that so if interesting call if you haven't been in the u.s. capitol let me just tell you i've been here for a very very long time. i've never ever knock out lost every single time i come to this complex i take a wrong turn or sometimes get on the wrong train it's really complicated if you ask me to tell you exactly where speaker pelosi is offices i really couldn't but these people seem to summon the mob knew exactly where they were supposed to go so that's raising a lot of suspicions some very chilling details coming out that. bring us all the latest from capitol hill. china has through its state media fiercely

criticized the u.s. for ending decades of restrictions on official combe tact with time one its beijing because it considers taiwan to be parts of china hard saying reports china china china china china donald trump has taken a tough line on china since the start of his presidency he's called the corona virus the china virus and its pledge to bring jobs outsourced to china back to the united states and in his final days in office his administration has announced it's easing restrictions on official u.s. contact with taiwan in an online statement the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei ago said taiwan is a vibrant democracy and reliable partner of the united states and yet for several decades the state department has created complex internal restrictions in an attempt to appease the communist regime in beijing executive branch agencies should

consider all contact guidelines regarding relations with taiwan to be nal and void . china and the u.s. are the 2 biggest economic powers in the world and china views taiwan as part of its territory while taiwan responded positively to the announcement political analysts say this move could lead to war between the us and china they're not going to let this slide by taiwan is a and it's a red line i don't know how else to put it crossing that you you are in fact risking war this is not something i mean this is how long is in the constitution as part of china and it's something that they will defend they will go to war once biden becomes president on january 20th he will be forced to address issues left him by his predecessor the biden administration will now be held. to see whether they are going to follow through on this particular announcement that pump ale 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 sees that the taiwanese administration is going to have some doubts about how far the biden administration is willing to go when it comes to helping to promote in safeguard taiwan in the relationship with taiwan in the united states on thursday the u.s. announced that it was sending its u.n. ambassador to taiwan the highest ranking american official to make the visit that decision sparked sharp criticism from beijing and a warning that the u.s. would pay a heavy price now with less than $10.00 days left for the trumpet ministration the incoming biden team will have to bear that load leo harding al-jazeera sarah's teams are cool since they're recovering the flight data recorders still black boxes from a passenger jet that crashed often zinni shows coast that disappeared from radar shortly after takeoff from saturday with 62 people on board just corson's in

explains why from punjab state's. subjects and his cousin a cut mustard leaves on the farm in the state of punjab the plant is one of the around 20 crops which are guaranteed and a minimum price by the government subsidies and many farmers fear that will end under new agriculture because he and hundreds of thousands of others have been protesting against the us for 6 weeks the major laws that we are talking about after these farm laws that implement it because we fear that in the near future they will end the government procurement system with corporations dictating the prices which already happens in the states with the with dish and be hard. it's the suspicion of large corporations which has led to protests and promise and on job to force the closure of $29.00 petrol stations belonging to one of india's biggest companies a reliance. they also damaged 1500 of reliance the cell phone towers forcing its

owner to say the company will not invest in the agriculture sector. farmers in punjab feel they have the most to lose from the laws punjab is known as india's bread basket it produces 40 percent of the country's cereal crops and a large part of the reason and he has food security is because of the rice and wheat punjab's farmers have grown for decades with guarantees of minimum prices. it's also because of punjab's fertile soil and high productivity that the state has nearly 30000 middle men who help farmers transport sell and store their projects for a commission they deny the government's claim that the new laws will make farmers wealthier by removing the need for middlemen glad to get. the new laws the agricultural sector will collapse because the commission agents facility didn't die a procurement process if you look at our work we have links with farmers we've had links with farmers the past 50 years that's why they bring their crops to us.

experts say the sector needs more regulation not less and the new laws risk turning punjab's farming success story into one of disaster if at this moment farmers are open to. the police department or. before the big fish of the world. they will basically close their profession and they will definitely burn into land less libbers. says his 1.5 acres of land is all he has to support his family for him and hundreds of thousands of farmers that is something worth fighting for elizabeth al-jazeera job. the un is warning that latin america's hunger crisis is getting even more critical especially in guatemala and has one of the highest rates of chronic
