the push to make donald trump accountable for the riots of the u.s. capitol is gathering pace u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says she'll go ahead with impeachment proceedings against trump unless the vice president mike pence takes measures to remove him from office the 25th amendment allows pence on the cabinet to declare the president unfit to carry out his duties and new video emerging from wednesday's attack makes those calls for accountability even more urgent particle hearing reports from washington d.c. . 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 from the us a member 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 it says got them to do all of this by the office. to the office. easily and well usually i'm i sat. in my office. 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 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 that every minute and every hour of that office represents clear and present danger not just to the not of 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 but still the united states starts. to hold those who both grew dissipated physically actions but also incited the actions in and aided and you will see accountability for all of that and

a renewed commitment among republicans and. i'm afraid we should expect that this is only the beginning of the rise of 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 hill house speaker nancy pelosi says all options are on the table as long as trump is punished. well i like the 5 5th amendment 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

has to pay a price for that at least 25 domestic terrorism cases have been opened following those riots that's according to the army secretary at ron mccarthy 5 people died when trump supporters stormed the building attempting to overturn the results of november's election and a senior democratic senator chuck schumer has warned that there could be further violence particularly around joe biden's inauguration so here's mike hanna wrapping up all those developments from washington d.c. . the speaker of the house nancy pelosi has sent a letter to lawmakers outlining what will be happening over the next few days or what she wants to happen firstly she wants a motion passed in the house monday by unanimous consent that means there is no vote and that it means that the entire house agrees now this motion would call on the vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment and remove president trump from office in order to do those pence has to convene his cabinet and get a vote of 2 thirds of cabinet members saying that president trump is incapable of

carrying out the duties of office pelosi says that if this does not happen by unanimous consent on tuesday she will convene a formal vote calling on pens to invoke the 25th amendment and then if he does not within 24 hours she says the process of impeachment will begin immediately so she in visions a an impeachment process taking place sometime during the week now an important note as well is that if the house does vote to impeach president trump the house speaker can hold on to the articles of impeachment for an indefinite period of time before sending it to the senate for trial so if trump is impeached by the house it could be a long period of time before the articles go to the senate for a formal trial process now they are going feel about the possibility of further

violence warning coming from the mayor of d.c. . who sent a letter to the department of homeland security asking for them to ensure that the proper preparations put in place she's aussie acting secretary to immediately rescind open mission for any demonstrations over the next 10 days so certainly there are many feel is still about. the possibility of the violence now the department of defense has confirmed that it is investigating at least $25.00 cases of domestic terrorism the defense department involved because it controls the deployment of the national guard who were involved on occasion during wednesday's events and justice department says it has a rested the 2 individuals in connection with what happened at the capital dozens have now been arrested in the events of wednesday now several of trump's close

allies have shunned him after the attack on the capitol former white house chief of staff mick mulvaney stepped down as special envoy to northern ireland he said wednesday was one of those things that struck at the very heart of what it means to be an american and it was wrong trump's longtime friend former new jersey governor chris christie said trump's incitement is an impeachable offense senator lisa murkowski threatened to resign from the republican party if trump didn't quit and then there's betsy divorce who resigned as education secretary american media quoted her resignation letter to trump saying there's no mistake in the impact your rhetoric had on the situation let's bring in jack kingston he's a former senior advisor to donald trump and previously served as republican congressman from georgia who joins us via skype from levy in south carolina jack kingston good to have you with us let's talk 1st about president from many of his allies like lindsey graham mitch mcconnell desert him his cabinet members betsy divorce elaine chao have resigned and people like pat toomey and now even calling for impeachment do you think we're now seeing the republican party make

a clean break with donald trump. i think you are seen great movement away from him particularly among those in the elected offices there's no question about it people republicans have been very consistent on condemning violence and frankly we always had great pride that the people who were doing all the looting in the st bernard and seattle and chicago and portland they were all democrats and now we can't say that anymore that our crowd is just as bad as their crowd but we have been consistent about condemning them frankly my own feeling is are all the people who broke into the can't vote should be arrested they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and that those are the rules of law and order has to apply it for everybody and. let me let me just jump in here because we saw we saw eric trump and donald trump jr both declare war on the g.o.p.

on the day of those riots quoting the g.o.p. trump's republican party but let me ask you a question because this is an issue about identity and ownership who whose party is it anyway because many people say look the republican party was hijacked by trump in 201520162 advance his own personal political and financial agenda. you know i think what you've asked is is a good question i'm not certain that the party really is something that one per person. even though we tend think that highest ranking and let it official in a party is the owner of the party to some degree but i think on the other degree parties are belong to a lot of different people in the lot of different sections and so you know i think the republican party will have a wrestling match looking for a new figure ensign in leadership but i don't think that the philosophy of less government less regulations of business strong national defense i think that's

still going to be there and that's an important point to make jack because the truth is trump still come ons a huge support base doesn't i mean at a 70000000 people voted for him in the election do you think there is now a need for a fresh start a new leader you just talked about it there who might that lead to be and what needs to be done to unite the party and go back to core conservative values. well you know i've been in the let it office in an activist in the republican party for many years not been through deceit and dark periods and not great periods and what happens after a defeat when you lose the white house you turn around and you look for a fresh face but i remember a wise man told me once this you can't just sort of look for a 1000 flowers to bloom that maybe somebody who just got a letter to congress maybe a governor who's out there maybe some familiar face. even though it's a familiar face we haven't thought about in those terms and sometimes you just have

to sit for a while and see what blooms you don't necessarily have to rush out and find somebody and say oh you're the new leader you've got to let these things play out for example in the right now joe biden i think is missing a great opportunity to address the nation and bring everybody together and tell the democrats let's stand them on an impeachment resolution that's not going to go anywhere that's just going to be viewed as a political weapon and and it's going to be held against us. he could speak to republicans and democrats conservatives and republicans to say extremists from both parties and say we've all had too much violence unless it's months we need to stop it i think he's missing that opportunity but i think it can trump missed a great opportunity for the last 2 months to can see with his chin held high and said you know i'm real sorry we lost it but look at what we have accomplished now

we need a smooth transition for the next chapter of america and i hope joe biden is excess will then he lost that are ok checking and we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for giving us your thoughts thank you very much thank you. now it's been one year since china reported its 1st death from corona virus in who had well since then more than 90000000 people have been infected worldwide and the number of deaths was soon supposed to 1000000 in the u.k. a mutated strain is leading to a rapid spread that's pushed hospitals to breaking point in africa more than 3000000 people have now been infected with copd 19 more than a 3rd of those are in south africa where another variant was detected last month and cases are surging in china with infections reported in the capital and to surrounding provinces well katrina you joins us live now from beijing katrina so

just in her day in beijing itself as well we've had about 30 or so cases reported mostly in the north eastern suburbs and what's so concerning about this outbreak here in china is that lead had released. range and heavy handed preventative measures put in place by the chinese government for the past few months so it really is quite a cautionary tale to leaders around the world but when it comes to the coronavirus you really cannot take a finger off the pulse you cannot put your god down even for a moment all right to katrina you live in the chinese capital katrina thank you to europe now where germany has surpassed 40000 coronavirus desk the chancellor angela merkel says the coming weeks will be the hardest phase of the pandemic germany has recorded nearly 2000000 infections so far and spain has deployed helicopters to deliver covert 900 vaccines are its heaviest snowfall in decades at least 4 people died after a storm filomena blanketed the country with smoke the government says it will push ahead with plans to deliver 350000 doses of covert 1000 vaccines on monday i'm
