more still missing after a ferry capsized while crossing a river in the democratic republic of congo. and also coming up 3 months after he was freed from prison by protesters nationalists politicians on their jumper of his own cause for a landslide victory and karega stuns presidential election. in sports a big upset in the 3rd round of the english f.a. cup crawley town premier league season tonight. welcome to the news hour we begin in the united states where senate democratic leader chuck schumer is warning that the threat of violence remains high after the storming of congress by supporters of president trump joe biden is due to be.

inaugurated in washington in 10 days time which could provide another potential flashpoint it comes as the democrats continue to draw off new articles of impeachment against trump and also more details emerging of the dramatic events on capitol hill last wednesday patty call hayne brings us those details now from washington. this video obtained by the washington post shows just how few police officers there were to keep rioters some armed with restraints and weapons from getting to members of congress or the. members say when they were trying to get out the last available exit there were only 3 officers holding the line trying to give them enough time to escape when they stepped aside as a window was broken a writer was shot by the representatives and their staff escaped 6 this video was captured by a reporter for the huffington post rioters looking for the senate he says if they had turned right they would have entered the chambers with senators inside this

lone capitol police officer directed them away from it and up the stairs instead but not everyone was this confused one congressman says there is evidence some had planned their attack there is a ma. this is a house has got my name on the door but the bottom of that office. to the house this usually everywhere and where i usually my sat. was in my office they were had all the furniture and stuff at the door and there were people trying to get here we're going to the capitol and the president directed these followers to march on the capitol he told them the election was stolen and now democrats say he should pay for inciting an insurrection they're moving to impeach him within days our main priority is to ensure the removal of dollar trump of president of the united full every minute and every hour of that office represents clear and present danger not just to the night of congress but

frankly to the country but not all republicans are onboard some using the same reason in that they did after the president was impeached the 1st time i my personal view is that the president touched the hot stove on wednesday and as unlikely to touch it again many saying impeachment will only divide the. further but some argue it's necessary for the long term health of the country until the united states starts. to hold those who both participated physically in the actions but also incited the actions in and aided and you will see accountability for all of that and a renewed commitment among nations republicans and. i'm afraid we should expect that this is only the beginning of the rise of some prism and perhaps even. it's unclear if legally the senate can hold an impeachment trial for a president who has already left office the courts will likely have to decide that

but it does seem likely that in the coming days the house of representatives will make sure that donald trump is the only u.s. president to have been impeached twice pedicle him el jazeera at the capitol mike hanna joins us live now from washington picking up on patty's point there about the efforts to impeach president trump a 2nd time where are democrats with those with that process which they're trying to to expedite. well at this particular stage at least $170.00 democrats have agreed to sign the articles of impeachment should they be drawn out for when they are drawn up so certainly within the house there is a mess of support for these articles of impeachment the issue is very simply is that after that it has to go to the senate for the impeachment to be formally concluded now mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader has made quite clear that the senate would be unable to vote before the 20th of january which happens to be

joe biden's inauguration day now there is an exception to that and that is that if every single one of the 100 members of the senate agree to meet earlier than it's possibly that they could but one must remember too as well is that 8 senators actually backed trump in his protest against the electoral vote the validation of the vote so you're not going to get $100.00 senators agreeing to meet earlier but then there is yet another possibility and that is that the house goes ahead and votes it's likely to get that 2 thirds majority to impeach but then the speaker of the house nancy pelosi will hold back the articles of impeachment for a period of time to allow the democrats new democrats to take their place in the senate to allow joe biden to conduct his 1st few weeks or months of office without the destruction of an impeachment process but as my colleague patty pointed out there it's unclear as to the legal position of whether

a president who has left office can in fact be impeached but that is one advantage that democrats have pointed out and that is that impeachment would mean is that president trump would be prohibited from taking up any other office in federal government should he be impeached now this is something that democrats see as very important indeed. what about the warnings of more violence in the capital in the coming weeks. well there's deep concern we've heard from various members of congress about the concerns that they have given the events of the past few days the mayor of d.c. . has actually just issued a statement calling on the acting secretary of homeland security wolf to rip's and all those demonstration permits that have been given for the next 10 days she's asking him to effectively outlaw any form of demonstration she's also called for

greater cooperation between the various branches of government to ensure that a plan is in place should these type of demonstrations erupt again so there is great concern and attempts at miss occasion being made to get some kind of plan put into place which are very clearly had not happened on wednesday thank you with the latest from washington mike hanna. well after donald trump search recount was suspended on friday there's been more fallout on the social media front amazon now is the latest technology company to suspend parlor a platform that similar to twitter that's popular among far right groups google has already banned the app from its place top apple has warned it will do the same and less popular moves extreme content it's often used by people banned from other social media and is sought in popularity among trump supporters in recent months well i'm now joined via skype by annie kelly a digital cultures research

a who specializes in far right groups in the united states you monitor these groups very closely and their activities in their conversations online from what you've been seeing is there likely to be is another attack on washington imminent. well i think it's quite strange because 1st of all it was incredibly obvious to me and to other researches in the 1st place that this attack impacts all hell was going to happen there was lots of thought very open thought on parlor and even on other forms of social media about a march on capitol hill so it seems quite strange to me that that was not it seems adequately covered by security services but i think after that has proven to be such a disaster at least from the far right and trump supporters point of view i think that movement is very frank meant it and that doesn't necessarily mean it's less dangerous it can mean that it's more that essentially means that there may be

demonstrations i think that's quite likely but this sort of fear of lone wolf by the end will hopefully be we've at least had a warning sign with captain el. when you say it's fragmented does that make it does that mean that any potential attack is much more difficult to monitor and preempt. exactly but thought there was a lot of confidence in it you have to kind of put yourself in the minds of these people they did genuinely think this was a revolution and they were genuinely going to overturn the nomination of joe biden to be the 1st president to be president elect even and that they were going to ensure that donald trump was continued to be president and this is something that republicans certainly republican senators and donald trump even gave them the sense that they were doing when they marched on capitol hill. that feeling has gone now

and usually that means that in kind of counterterrorism and radicalization that means there's this feeling of demoralization which often means less active turnout but it can often mean that people become more secretive they kind of move to certain different cells that they. can plot violence but aware that they are being watched and i think i do certainly get the sense that among a lot of the leaders of the movement they said be very cautious about what they say for the inauguration and further events going forward are they looking to gain more a kreutz. i think so although i think the movement is in a bit of a tailspin right now so when i say the movement i sort of referred to various different groups already he says white nationalists the far right and also the conspiracy theory cuba not which is approach from conspiracy theory. and i think

that usually they are very effective at recruiting people in social media but the minute in notes your career people in social media you need to have a really clear message and i don't think they have that right now just because of how disastrous the events of the last few days have been and you know they have to you have to remember that they feel very betrayed right now if feel that the republican party has betrayed donald trump thank you very much prefer it joining us on the news hour digital culture such a joining us that i.q. with the news hour life from london much more still to tell you about the program. warnings that are somalia's hunger crisis is becoming critical following massive storms and the covert 19 pandemic also. china china china china china all the trouble ministration finds a new way to anger beijing even in its dying days and then later in sport cats are

corruption and infighting between various clans that's resulted in 3 revolutions and carry a stand in the last 15 years a referendum was also held on constitutional changes initiated by jobber of injuries a presidential system and reduce parliament's power early results that show 81 percent voted in favor charles trafford reports now from the capital bishkek. this is a monument to cuba stands a soviet past a reminder of a time before the beginnings of democracy after the breakup of the soviet union 30 years ago after months of political chaos there are questions of what lies ahead in the journey towards good governance and rule of law those people cost that ballots in presidential elections $1.00 man who has dominated kyrgyzstan's politics in recent months is at the forefront of voters minds. his opponents say he's afraid to kyrgyzstan's political future his supporters say he is the country's only hope.

souther do pyros comes from ordinary people and is very honest he's a working candidate his thoughts and speeches are close to the people this is after he was freed from jail by his supporters before they stormed the parliament building protests off the parliamentary elections in october those elections were an old of the widespread allegations of vote buying. describes himself as a conservative curious nationalist he says kyrgyzstan's 10 year experience of a parliamentary system has failed. he wants to revert back to a presidential system which is critics say is a threat to democratic progress and would give him additional power if as expected he becomes president to power of support base comes from kyrgyzstan's rule population who have suffered decades of economic and political neglect. his critics are often keen to point out that this deeply politicized country has overthrown its

3 presidents and revolutions in the last 30 years and their opinions often come with a warning. has led to our society is mature enough and highly politicized whoever wins the election is quite difficult to stop open democratic process is that people have woken up they cannot be stopped the point is how politically mature with a leader be and how will he walk. some analysts say the democratic evolution of kyrgyzstan will continue but more chaos cannot be ruled out i think this is not the end of democracy and i thought as a shrink he said this is more like that a serious and the very supporters the very people who brought power these people into power are not going to be waiting for that long. to deliver proper governance and with this sort of constitutional reform and this sort of power centralization it's not going to work out the central election commission says that with more than 95 percent of votes counted sudrajat power has won the presidential election it

example see him as a political martyr or a political hero which suffered a lot to do a room in the previous government and as we know judge paro for lost his parents and his son when he was serving is nearly 12 year prison sentence and furthermore. calls to nationalize the country's largest called mind in 2012 brought him some fame yes and at the same time there are another group of people and politicians who challenge background for example they point out how just part of the world as the head of the corruption prevention agency in kyrgyzstan doing the reign of the former president among big here but here so there are different opinions about just part of the society and mostly i guess a lot of people have sympathy toward the part of because of what he had to

experience for last several years what does that mean for the referendum on strengthening the role of the presidency at the expense of the parliament. actually this topic has been discussed in the society for own time yes and there always used to be supporters of the strong presidential system and also supporters of the parliamentary system but did today's. results. mean that. we'll have thought a strong presidential system and job will have sweeping powers and also i should say that there are 2 points of view in the quickest society on this topic one part of the society most this color or position of political civil law to his believe that the government's latest actions including

the proposal of the new draft of constitution yes very much concern and they think that we'll soon have a strong presidential how how is it what is that how do you gauge the divide is it 5050 or is a majority because this is. this was really one of the things that made kerik is done quite unique in the region the fact that it had this has this fierce political competition but nonetheless it's there is political plurality in this parliamentary system now this could be about to change in favor of a lot of power being concentrated in the hands of one person for possibly a very long time. are i wouldn't say that. it is like 5050 yes because today's results show that my journey to all of the cube is water. proof for. the presidential system and according to. some sort of very i guess

a sort of conducted by symbolism before the election i think. to 80 percent actually of the total voters who are going to support the president presidential system but some politician it's politicians and also a civil act is the same that people didn't have enough time maybe. or information to make a proper choice or just think about the choice that they are making and also i should say that their last 2 parliaments actually really frustrates people and people a lot of water is associate parliament of them with what we had in the last 2 years in the parliament what kind of people we hope to in the parliament so this is why i guess that is that us such openness in the site thank you very much. for joining us there from bishkek in kyrgyzstan.
