a landslide victory in the presidential election months after he was freed from prison by his supporters. and ramping up the vaccination drive over 2000000 britons get the jab as the u.k. records another 50000 corona virus infections in a day. we begin with the fallout from the chaos on capitol hill and the efforts to remove donald trump from office are intensifying u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says the 2 motions will be considered from monday one urges vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment to clearing trump unfit to carry out his duties. well i like the fight for the men because it gets rid of him he's out of office but there is strong support in the congress for impeaching the president a 2nd time this president is guilty of inciting insurrection insurrection and he
5:02 am
has to pay a price for that if mike pence doesn't invoke the 25th amendment congress will move forward with impeachment proceedings on charges of inciting riots as at least 2 public and republican senators want trump to resign immediately senate democratic leader chuck schumer has spoken to the head of the f.b.i. urging him to pursue the capitol hill attackers schumer says the threat of violence extremism remains high the pentagon has confirmed that 25 cases of domestic terrorism are being investigated. and about it will be live in washington d.c. but 1st political hay in begins our coverage with this report. 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
5:03 am
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 son had planned their attack there is a ma. this is a cause gotten them to do all of this by the office. to the office. easily and well usually i must say. it was in my office they were had all the furniture and stuff at the door and there were people trying to get we're going to the capitol and the president directed these followers to
5:04 am
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 dollars of president that every minute and every hour of that office represents clear and present danger not just to. congress but frankly to 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 grew dissipated physically in the actions but also incited the actions and aided them and you will see
5:05 am
accountability for all of that and a renewed commitment among nations republicans running moms and i'm afraid we should expect that this is only the beginning of the rise of on 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 capital life out of washington out zeros my count is that my course the latest on the efforts to impeach or remove from office the president. well nancy pelosi the house speaker has sent a letter to lawmakers asking for a motion to be passed tomorrow calling on the vice president to invoke the 25th
5:06 am
amendment now what mike pence has to do to do this is get its cabinet together then get a 2 thirds vote among the members of cabinet which will then removed from office trump has the ability to appeal against that the cabinet would then have to vote again rejecting tramp's appeal the whole matter would then go to congress for a formal. agreement to the pincers decision to pass the attorney for the man meant but says pelosi she's hoping that the motion tomorrow will be passed by unanimous consent that means there are no objections in the house however if there is opposition she says she will then convene a formal vote on tuesday calling on the vice president to invoke the 25th if he does not within 24 hours 'd then the house will proceed immediately with an impeachment process so certainly whichever way this goes it would appear that the speaker of the house is absolutely intent on getting an impeachment process
5:07 am
underway within the next few days so this is a very important point another important point is that if the house does vote to impeach the speaker can then hold on to the articles of impeachment for any period of time before passing it on to the senate for trial so all sorts of options are available at the moment some are hoping that the president will resign follow the example of richard nixon who resigned before being impeached and facing trial in the senate this is what one senator has to say. i think the best way for our country jack is 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
5:08 am
president leaves anyway i think the best thing would be a resignation unlike what could you tell us about the investigation into the capitol riots and of chuck schumer's remarks that the threat of violent extremist groups remains high. yes so certainly it's not only chuck schumer who's expressed concern about the potential for violence there has been several such comments made by lawmakers in recent days since those events on wednesday the mayor of d.c. meriel browser has actually sent a letter to the secretary of homeland defense i asking him to ensure that they are arrangements put in place before the inauguration she's also asked him to ban all demonstrations to refuse permission for any demonstrations over the next 10 days another thing she has asked him is to put the whole defense
5:09 am
of the inauguration under the control of the secret service now normally they do that for 2 days over the inauguration she wants it to happen from now to have one party controlling the whole situation leading up to the inauguration and after so certainly a major concern the department of defense confirms that there are at least $25.00 cases of domestic terrorism being investigated department of defense involved it is responsible for the deployment of the national guard and justice department has announced yet another to rescind connection with events dozens have now been arrested in connection with what happened at the capitol hill jurist mike hanna reporting live from washington like many things 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
5:10 am
republican senators ted cruz josh. their speeches were felt by many to egg on the crowd that 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 century is certainly very serious and it doesn't happen very often and it has diminished the careers of people in the past who have been censured 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 1950 s. so it's possible that they could be censured certainly a blot on their careers seeing that mob approach capitol hill and then overtake the
5:11 am
capitol building by force and and really discreet the building was. unacceptable to to americans watching that that there's an appetite 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 the. impeachment is on the table and it's likely to happen in the house this coming week. search and rescue teams in indonesia are trying to retrieve the so-called black boxes the flight recorders of a passenger plane that crashed with 62 people on board on saturday the device is expected to shed light on the reasons behind the sudden plunge of the aircraft into the java sea minutes after takeoff the flight recorders have now been located
