a garza's premier sporting event that's an escape from occupation and a ruined because. the push to make donald trump accountable for the riots at the u.s. capitol is gathering pace u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says she will go ahead with pietschmann proceedings against trump unless the vice president mike pence takes measures to remove him from office the 25th amendment allows pants 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 hail reports now 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 or the. members say when they were trying to get out the last
7:02 am
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 process guiding them to do all of this by the office. to the office. and why usually i must say. it is in my office. had all the furniture and stuff at the door and there are people trying to get here we're going
7:03 am
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 dollars from both president of the united every minute and every hour of that office represents clear and present danger not just to the united states 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
7:04 am
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 to call him el jazeera at the capitol for 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
7:05 am
has to pay a price for that. but at least 25 domestic terrorism cases have been opened following those riots that's according to the army secretary brian mccarthy 5 people died when trump supporters stormed the building attempting to overturn the results of november election and i've seen a democratic senator chuck schumer as one of the could be thought of violence particularly around joe biden's inauguration here's my counter now 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
7:06 am
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 fierce 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 for 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
7:08 am
close allies have shunned him after the attack on the capitol former white house chief of staff mick mulvaney step down a special envoy to northern ireland he said wednesday was one of those things that struck to 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 betsy dumbass who resigned as education secretary american media quoted her resignation letter to trump saying there's no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation. where joe watkins is a republican political strategist and former white house aide earlier he spoke about the issue of impeachment as well as calls for the resignation of republican senators ted cruz and josh holy. 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
7:09 am
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 upon them to resign their seats in the u.s. senate but we have yet to see what they will do there is no pressure to listen to what the newspaper suggests what 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 was 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 censured certainly a blot on their careers seeing that mob approach capitol hill and then overtake the capitol building by force and really discreet the building was. unacceptable to to americans watching that that they have to say that in the house this early to
7:10 am
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 means 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 such and rescue teams and in asia trying to locate the black boxes of the passenger plane that crashed with 62 people on board on saturday the devices are expected to shed light on the reasons behind the sudden plunge of the plane into the java sea just minutes after takeoff modjeska washington joins us live now from jakarta jessica said is bring us up to date on the search operation and of course investigation. al team is here at court in north dakota where this effort is being coordinated it is a huge effort

7:16 am
a rapid spread that's pushed hospitals to breaking point and 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 also surging in china with infections reported in the capital and to surrounding provinces well katrina you joins us live now from beijing katrina so it's been a year now since china reported that 1st death from coronavirus so what's the picture now right across the country. well we'll hunt down the original at the center of this outbreak of life seems to have returned to normal we were just there just over a week ago certainly shops are back business is back in the haven't had any new cases reported in in the past few months that being said china is actually in the middle of its worst serious outbreak that we've had for the past few months and that's taking place here in northern china most of these cases been linked to her
7:17 am
they problems we've had more than 460 new cases reported in the past week linked to the cities of should draw drawing and in showing thai now what's concerning is that these kids are these cities are just a few hours drive from beijing should out on has about 11000000 people living there and xing time we've got 7000000 people living there we don't know exactly how this outbreak began but we do know that all of these cases have been linked to a covert case that was 1st identified on january the 2nd now both shing thai and should rajon having put under lockdown that is flights have been canceled public transport has been suspended and movement in some of those communities in those cities have been severely restricted now we know that mass testing has taken place in both of these cities and authorities say they're about to begin a 2nd round of testing and essential workers those people working in supermarkets health workers drivers for example they'll have to be tested for curve and every
7:18 am
day now public health experts here in china have heavily criticized this outbreak but they they've said that it was detected far too late and it exposes really a weak link in china's outbreak detection system at least 3 officials in her of a province have lost their jobs because of this outbreak and it's not just in her day in beijing itself in the capital there had been about 30 or so cases identified mostly in the north eastern suburbs and what's really worrying authorities is that we're only a few weeks out from the chinese new year or the lunar new year holiday where hundreds and millions of people are expected to make trips across the country in order to spend that weeklong holiday with family so the really desperate to have these coded cases this outbreak under control before then katrina you live for us there in beijing katrina thank you. meanwhile in wu hand many of those who have recovered from corona virus are still struggling with long term effects of the virus a study published in the lancet medical journal found that 6 months out for acute
7:19 am
infection they were still coping with fatigue or muscle weakness sleep difficulties and anxiety or depression some patients who were severely ill during their hospital stay had more severe ongoing problems that affected their lungs and chests and a 3rd of the patients showed signs of kidney function let's bring in son jaya cinema yachties professor of infectious diseases at the australian national university and joins us via skype from canberra thank you for coming back on the program i mean this appears to be the largest study about the long term health impact of 9000 how important is this study and what do you make of it. look idea and it is an important study it's certainly not the only one but it is very important because i still think that there is a conception out there around the world that cove it is a very mild illness and to be fair at the start we were saying 80 percent of people
7:20 am
will have a mild illness and they'll get over the acute deal less in 2 weeks but the reality is that a proportion of people now this this study from who had was in hospitalized patients but a proportion of people who get curve it who don't even get hospitalized will go on to get these chronic symptoms which are quite debilitating now if you look at this wound study they talked about 2 thirds of patients having for tea muscle weakness about a quarter had root disorders anxiety depression that another quarter couldn't sleep well another quarter couldn't walk the normal distance that you'd expect and there was a study in italy of hospitalized patients so 2 months after they were discharged about 87 percent had at least one specific symptom and about 55 percent had 3 or more persisting symptoms and those symptoms were slated for there with chest pains and joint pain 6 cetera some try is there is there a direct correlation between people who are very sick would come of it whether in a hospital or a home tends to have more modern term. effects of the virus. well mark we
7:21 am
understand it seems that people who are sick are with coded more likely to have the persisting symptoms but it is not exclusively the case so even people with mild symptoms there are many reports of healthy young people who've had an acute kind of a deal less but have managed to stay in her who will have an ongoing stent so chest pains shortness of breath the brain thought except truck and nasty thing about it is it can fluctuate from day to day to the point where it does the symptoms disappear and some people think aha i've beaten it but then a day or 2 later it comes back which of course is very disheartening yes and what is the added value of the study then i mean what can help provide as like a self learn from it in the long term treatment of covert patients right. i don't know if it if it will lead to an intervention as such terror but i think it
7:22 am
is important for people to understand that there is more to covert than just the acute illness if you go back to evolve in west africa or about 5 years ago at that time i think we were all worried about just dying from a bowler because it's such a horrendous acute illness but because the standard of care improved instead of 90 percent of people die 40 percent of people died in a lot of people live but we found many months later people having i problems joint pains of the teeth that debilitated that so it is really important to have debt public health message out there this is a serious infection that goes well beyond the acute illness in a small proportion of people please try hard not to get it by doing the right thing send us an iraqi always good to get your thoughts here not to say one thank you very much for talking to us thank you jack. now south korea's president moon julian
