killing of protesters. the story of the rise and fall of hosni mubarak the family of a short one colleges are. momentum is gathering among us democrats to begin a 2nd impeachment process against u.s. president donald trump. my. time how am i getting in and this is sound as here on live from doha also coming up taiwan hails a u.s. move to strengthen ties which is anger china as joe biden prepares to take office salvage teams pinpoint the location of flight recorders in the wreck of a passenger plane that crashed off indonesia. and despite strict lock downs
8:01 pm
coronavirus cases continue to soar across the u.k. and hospitals stretched to their limits. my. democrats are drafting articles of impeachment for president donald trump's role in encouraging process which to send it into violence in the size congress has speaker nancy pelosi says they have no choice unless trump's cabinets 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 but whether it's impeachment all the 25th amendment forcing donald trump out of office is unlikely as there across a controlled house of representatives could quickly approve articles of impeachment and send them to the senate that's where trump would be put on trial however
8:02 pm
a conviction and removal requires a 2 thirds majority and that is highly doubtful the senate is also adjourned. and so january 19th which is the day before joe biden's inauguration law school 25 all of the u.s. constitution allies for the removal of a president who is unable to perform the duties of the office it is the backing of the vice president though in a majority of cabinets and 2 thirds majority of congress to be invoked so let's get some reaction from the united states patty cole hain is on capitol hill and patty we know at this stage that we are looking at a 2nd impeachment of donald trump but where's the things stand right now. well we're still a little bit of news about how this might play out so that the members of the democratic house say that they need to hold president accountable for his words and
8:03 pm
his actions and so they think that the he has to be the 1st u.s. president to be impeached twice and they say that will send a message and also it could mean that he could never serve in office again if in fact he is impeached and in convicted in a trial in the senate. they're going to go ahead they're going to do in the next couple of days one thing we're hearing now is how they're going to handle this is because the senate probably wouldn't take it up until january 19th january 20th january 20th is when joe biden gets inaugurated becomes president and if they were in the middle of a trial they wouldn't be able to confirm any of his cabinet picks or really they just steal the spotlight from him now we're hearing speaker pelosi is going to do the political move of impeaching donald trump well he's still in office and then simply holding on to those documents now walking them across the capitol for the 1st 100 days of biden's term that way he gets the attention the senate it's business done and then 100 days later the senate can hold
8:04 pm
a trial now you mention that it's possible that they won't have republican support but at the same time one of the most important things to remember is in that close election the democrats got control of the senate so unlike the last impeachment trial where republicans for the 1st time in the history of this country chose not to call witnesses in the impeachment trial this time and the $100.00 days after biden's inaugurated the democrats can make it a full spectacle they can put it put him on trial and but right now republicans are trying to send the message that they shouldn't do that let's listen to the senator from missouri. i think the president's. decisions and his actions that day and leading up to that day on this topic were clearly reckless i said that very early in the evening on wednesday that this was a tragic day for the country and the president had some had involvement in that publicly leaders going to hold him accountable in any way for it well i think the
8:05 pm
country is the right way to hold presidents accountable to the president should be very careful over the next 10 days that his behavior is what you'd expect from the leader of the greatest country in the world now my personal view is that the president touched the hot stove on wednesday and is unlikely to touch it again meanwhile passing we are hearing details of when it sees offense and how the. you know it's been a couple of days and people have been combing through social media and really trying to put together tick tock of how this happened and i think for the 1st time we're realizing just how incredibly close that mob some of them are some of them with restraints were to getting close to members of congress on the house side we saw about 70 members of one video trying to get out what they said was the last exit that was available to them and only thing standing between them is a door with 3 capitol police officers there's new video now that shows. the mob
8:06 pm
descending the senate yelling where are they where are they and there was one lone capitol police officer that directed them up the stairs if they had simply turned right they would have been able to walk into the senate chamber with senators inside now so there is some evidence that the mob many in the mob didn't have any idea where 'd they were because it is incredibly confusing complex but one representative brought up some information today that he thinks there might be more to what was going on behind the scenes take a listen. because. this is it has got my name on the don't. bother the office. to the just. word usually. just i have no idea but not the right. but the guy. just talked about it so i'm not going to use it i do know this i must say
8:07 pm
there was just. all the free stuff at the door and there were people trying to get it so all of what really happened here this unprecedented historic terrifying vent starting to sink in as people realize just how much worse it could have been it could have been we don't know what their intentions were obviously not good some in the crowd chanting hang mike pence yelling where's nancy speaking about the speaker pelosi a really really close call and there's a new poll out i want to point out that 67 percent of americans think this is donald trump's fault that he caused this to happen that said only 13 percent of republicans think that it is his fault so these politicians are only looking to see if that number moves up which it seems if there's a trial and there's what this is quite possibly could so that could get them enough republican support is going to be
