with the election behind us will the republican party dump truck fuel weiqi take on u.s. politics and that's the bottom of the. warnings that there could be more violence ahead of the biden harrison all curation as democrats push to impeach president trump. hello i'm adrian forgive this is our 0 life and also coming up. ramping up a vaccination drive over 2000000000 britons get the job as the u.k. records another 50000 corona virus infections in a day. convict kirk is national politician son is a part of his own course for a landslide victory in the presidential election months after he was freed from

prison by his supporters. 3 reports from garza's sporting event the skate from occupation with the call. we begin in the united states where senate democratic leader chuck schumer is warning that the threat of violent extremism remains high after the storming of congress by supporters of president trump he's told the head of the f.b.i. to relentlessly pursue those responsible to avoid any on rest ahead of joe biden's inauguration in 10 days it comes as the democrats continue to draft new articles of impeachment against trump al-jazeera as patty culhane reports 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 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 cause gotten them to do all of this by the office. of the office. everywhere and why usually i must say. that in my office there

are all the furniture and stuff at the door and there are 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 insurrection they're moving to impeach him within days our main priority is to ensure the removal of dollars from both president of the united every minute and every hour of that office represents clear and present danger not just to the not of congress but frankly 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 taking steps to hold those who both

participated physically in the actions but also incited the actions and aided them and you will see accountability for all of that and a renewed commitment among teens republicans are proud of norms and values 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 let's go live now to washington i was there as mike hanna is there for us mike what's the latest on the investigation into the capital riots and what are we to make of chuck schumer's remarks that the threats of violent extremist groups remains high. well very many

people with that particular fear the mayor of d.c. miriam has actually called dong the homeland secretary to remove all permissions for demonstrations over the next 10 days she says that there is a real threat of further violence should these demonstrations be allowed to go ahead we've also heard from a congressman who says he's been told by the acting secretary of defense that at least 25 cases of domestic terrorism are being investigated separately the justice department has confirmed to further the arrests one of the people is the person who was photographed carrying restraints during those ongoing siege of the capitol on wednesday so certainly many fears about further violence should the federal authorities not get a plan together something that they did not succeed in doing on wednesday as far as

the president's possible impeachment is concerned we're just hearing that house speaker nancy pelosi is urging the house to consider a resolution calling on vice president pence to declare the president incapable before it considers impeachment. indeed ias to speak of the house is now center letter to lawmakers saying that on monday in the house a motion will be introduced calling on president pence to invoke the 25th amendment to convene his cabinet to get a 2 thirds majority and decide that the president is incapable of maintaining office she is hoping for unanimous consent in which case there is no vote however the speaker says that if there is no unanimous consent in the house on the following day tuesday a vote will be held the request will be sent to the vice president to invoke the

25th amendment immediately if he refuses to do so since the speaker of the house then impeachment proceedings will get underway in the house so certainly this is all moving very quickly as we expected democratic lawmakers talking over the weekend making very clear that they want to go ahead with impeachment proceedings in the next few hours however some in congress are insistent that a far better move would be for the president to follow richard nixon and resign before being impeached and subject to a senate trial i think the best way for our country charges for the president to resign and go away as soon as possible. i acknowledge that may not be likely but i think that would be best does not look as though. there is the will or the consensus to exercise the 25th amendment option and i don't think there's time to do an impeachment there's 10 days left before the president leaves anyway i think

the best thing would be a resignation. so whatever the senator happens to think it is very clear that within the next few days there will be impeachment proceedings in the house how serious mike hanna reporting live from washington might be any thanks indeed well joe watkins is a republican political strategist and former white house aide earlier we discussed the issue of impeachment as well as calls for the resignation or sense of republican senators ted cruz joins surely. their speeches were felt by many to egg on the crowd that descended on capitol hill on the capitol building and so right now there are members of the senate that are talking about the possibility of censoring them some of the newspapers in their 'd respective states have already called on them to resign their seats in the u.s. senate but we have yet to see what they'll do there is no pressure to listen to what the newspaper suggests but the possibility of centuries certainly very serious

and it doesn't happen very often and it has diminished the careers of people in the past who have been censored the most notable probably joe mccarthy it was censored by the u.s. senate back in the 1950 s. who was well his way to being a national star and and was just destroyed by the censure that took place in the 1900 s. so it's possible that they could be censored certainly a blot on their careers seeing that mob approach capitol hill and then overtake the capitol building by force and and really discreet the building was. unacceptable to to americans watching that that they have to say that in the house this early to impeach the president in the next 3 days and it's not unlikely that the senate will take it up maybe 100 days into the by the administration and they could still vote to convict the president which would mean that you'd be banned from ever running for public office again so in any case. impeachment

is on the table and it's likely to happen in the house this coming week. as the u.k. accelerates its vaccination program the chief medical officer has issued a dire warning about the capacity of hospitals to treat the rising number of seriously ill covert 19 patients chris what he says the national health service is facing its most dangerous situation yet he says that hospitals could become overwhelmed and that emergency patients are turned away in 3 weeks time if people ignore the containment measures around 200000 people a day are being vaccinated against the virus well the british government is opening mass vaccination centers across the u.k. to boost capacity health there is some out one called says the most vulnerable will get the 1st dose by mid february and that all adults will be immunized by the autumn john holl reports now from one of the vaccination centers in north london.
