question and i think that's what. the question that people should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on. the outgoing u.s. administration pushes forward to designate yemen as a terror organization. santa maria here in doha with the world news from al jazeera remove the president or we will house democrats pile the pressure on republicans to accelerate the process of removing donald trump. no signs of any survivors no clue as to what caused an indonesian passenger plane to plummet into the sea. and from runway to race way the pandemic crowds from across. the sea is

a new. breaking news this monday the united states moving to designate yemen's movement which controls the capital and yemen's main aid port as a foreign terror group the officials reacted saying the troubled ministrations policies in behavior actually resembles that of a terrorist itself secular state might pay or released his statement saying he would notify congress that the state department will designate the group's leaders as quote terrorists the decision to blacklist the iranian backed organization is expected to undermine peace negotiation efforts the u.s. backed sabi that coalition's been fighting the group in yemen ever since 2015 it accuses the who it is of launching attacks against civilian targets in saudi arabia . and of targeting major oil facilities he is what's secular state my own

post said these designations will provide additional tools to confront terrorist activity and terrorism by. the official name iran backed militia group in the gulf region the designations are intended to hold. accountable for terrorist acts including cross border attacks threatening civilian populations infrastructure and commercial shipping that's the background let's get the reaction with mohammad 1st of all correspondent joining us from sanaa tell us more about the reaction. yes we have just received and all fishel reactions by the whole of these. host the of the shows and what i hope the or as a member of the groups. political supreme council he says that the. latest move by the the outgoing administration of the tramp. as

a denounced act he says that is it's an indication and also. a fact that the united states is part of what he described of this devastated with devastating war against yemen. according to his speech and also that the that has participated in the killing and the and also pushing more people to the brink of fireman he says that the outgoing administration proves that it's a policies. or so the source of terrorism on the wall he according to his remarks this according to observers this would fall the worse in the direct humanitarian situation in the war ravaged country especially that percent of the population has been pushed to the brink of famine and the united. nations and also other. governmental organizations are trying to help yemenis to overcome

the the devastating impacts of the the ongoing war many hope this the upcoming administration would facilitate and also bring warring sides back to the negotiating table to resolve their differences peacefully rather than for the blockading the situation. in sun are thank you for that now to teheran dorsetshire bari is this simply a way of the united states this outgoing administration targeting iran without directly targeting. iran. certainly is going to be perceived that way here because we have to remember that there is nothing left for this trump administration to sanction within iran they designated the revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization in april of 2019 and

a series of sanctions including sanctions on the supreme leader and the foreign minister also brought into effect later that year this is all part of the u.s. . administration's maximum pressure campaign against iran they see the allies of iran in this region also as accomplices to the system here and that is why they've been targeted there are groups in iraq as well as syria and now yemen that are now being part of this maximum pressure campaign and now this group has been designated as a terrorist organization they radians for their part of said who they are with these in yemen are some a group that iran consults with they don't directly supply weapons to that they will see this as a effort to try and punish the people of yemen who will surely. be the ones that will see the results of these sanctions because it won't directly affect these

themselves barry thank you for that from tehran bringing this together without senior political analyst and bashar maybe we'll just pick up momentum what dorsey was saying there about the effect on the yemeni people how will this affect them. what are we now 5 years of war more than that. well if this does go through and it is embraced by a biden and ministration said big if it will have disastrous. implications for the people in yemen because as we all know the host has control not only the capital of also on the board important ports that bring in the foods and medicine and other necessities for the people in yemen already it is one of the greatest if not the greatest humanitarian disaster and it could just get worse politically speaking or it could push the whole thing is closer to iran not farther

from iran so it probably will be counterproductive any which way you look at it this all didn't really come out depends whether. how we see it in terms of an outgoing as you said stated in the beginning of your arms reduction it is an outgoing station if it wasn't then you would say this is more or less counterproductive perhaps a reckless decision but it is going in less than 10 days so this must be an expedient decision meant to score points about some sort of a legacy issue and complicate biden administration policy towards the middle east. what about the prospects now one of actually ending this war there are there have been he's my goshi essence if this happens and if it as you say it's a big if if it carries over into the next administration how does that affect that . well look clearly the diplomatic track has not been going to well there's been too many attempts within the region

and outside the region in europe it didn't bode too well yet because the host these feel empowered and nemeses the the the legitimate government if you where they live and supported by saudi arabia and others also theo strong and of course their menus are paying the price but there is no other. path but that of diplomacy and political transition to something more to present to them many people and that's what the last 6 years have proven the question is today how do you strengthen that diplomatic process and a political transition the country is it by this igniting one of the main parties terrorists or is it by engaging one of the main parties because we all know this is a war has been on for 6 years and too many war crimes have been committed in that country so it isn't a one not the other the terrorists this is just a political decision it's politics it's not strategy and set the need is not

diplomatic a way into to solve the question i'm you know unfortunately this is expedient and contra productive now. with the by the administration and i think it's clear from everything we're hearing we've heard from the biden mrs schumer over the last several weeks and months is that they that they want more of what the tone dennis collation they want to end the war in yemen then it's going to be their one with iran and and to make sure that iran stops the last destabilizing action in the region like supporting the how we think is nonstop and embrace moral you know a coherent stabilizing policy in the region. wind up by the nation should it get is it sooner than later one hopes so because the war in yemen is just one day after another bringing greater. cost humanitarian cost to the people yet the point we shouldn't forget and all of us isn't it thank you mon bashar

a senior political analyst. well the world food program's executive director is among those who've been warning against the terrorist designation david beasley spoke to al-jazeera about that in december when the w. of p. was awarded the nobel peace prize. was in washington d.c. just last week speaking with the leadership explaining the consequences of the designation and the hurdles in the problems that we will face we'll do whatever we need to do we always have whether the sages are designations or not we'll do what we can to reach the people our job is to let the leaders understand clearly what will be the ramifications and what the difficulties that will be for us to reach people yemen is oriented dreamily volatile fragile state with i can't begin to tell you we are on the brink of famine right now in yemen people are not getting enough food we don't have the access we need and we're going to i don't know how we don't face famine in

a major way in the next 45 much onto other news and in the coming hours moves to take action against us president or notrump over the siege on capitol hill will be turned up a notch u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says 2 motions we presented for monday one called on vice president might pence to invoke the 25th amendment that would declare trump unfit to carry out its duties and force him out of office well i like they'd fight it amend it 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. and if vice president pence doesn't agree then pelosi says the democrat led house would move forward with impeaching the president 5 people died during the violence on capitol hill the pentagon's now confirmed 25 cases of domestic terrorism are being investigated the hunt goes on as well for others

involved in the attack as we've seen in these videos donna from himself though still pretty quiet well as pentagon held petty culhane reports now from washington new videos emerge from wednesday's attack and it is making calls for accountability even more agents. 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 son 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. 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 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 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. to hold those who both grew dissipated physically in the actions but also incited the actions and aided until we see accountability for all of that and a renewed commitment among republicans towards democratic norms and values i'm afraid we should expect that this is only the beginning of the rise of autism 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 capital. in the news ahead hundreds of people are feared drowned in friday's ferry disaster this is into mechanic republic of congo. and china expresses outrage at the u.s. decision to lift restrictions on its relationship with taipei. however saying some flooding recently into parts of malaysia apos of indonesia seeing some very heavy rainfall thunderheads continuing to slide their way down singapore with a 185 millimeters of rain in 24 hours in some parts of say significantly more rainfall than that wes the weather will continue across the malaysian peninsula so

in parts of thailand also seeing some lively showers long spells of rain some are just still very disturbed and the showers extending right down into indonesia more big downpours coming through here notice some pretty wet weather too into central and southern parts of the philippines and we've had some wet weather recently it's an all them in eastern parts of australia down towards the southeast has seen some rather cool and wet weather a recent labor vacs has all changed now so we've gone from cold and wet so hot and dry it means fire risks elevated these a current temperatures you can see temps getting into the high thirty's across that southeastern corner well ease off a little as we go through the next day or so choose day in melbourne at around 23 degrees but it will still be dry still getting up into the low thirty's in adelaide at least through chews day it's a little cold as you go into wettest a place of rain moving through the by and we do still have some other wet weather around the cape york peninsula.

with al-jazeera and these are the top stories this hour of the united states is moving to designate yemen's hooty movement as a foreign terror group who reacted to the u.s. action saying it is america that is the source of terrorism u.s. backed saudi led coalition's been fighting the group in yemen since 2015 accusing hooty rebels of attacks on civilian targets in saudi arabia and of targeting major oil facilities u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says she will go ahead with impeachment proceedings against donald trump unless he's removed from office 1st the 25th amendment allows vice president my pen's to declare trump unfit to carry out his duties and to oust him. significant words also been undertaken by u.s. law enforcement officials to bring a number of rioters to account for storming the capitol building on weapon state is mike hanna from washington d.c. looking at how the impeachment process will take all of this into account. to speak 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 only 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 arrested a further 2 individuals in connection with what happened at the capital dozens have now been arrested in the events of wednesday just a little footnote to this the so-called free speech social media network paula has now gone completely offline the scientists become popular among trump supporters amazon apple google they all banned the platform sizing a lack of moderation of violent content by conservative c.e.o. says the site will likely be taken will likely be down longer than expected search and rescue teams in indonesia are working to recover the black box recorders from the passenger plane that crashed with 62 people on board on saturday the devices

are expected to shed some light on just why they was this sudden plunge into the java sea only minutes after the plane took off jessica washington with more from jakarta. we're here at 140 injured honcho in north jakarta this is where the search effort is being coordinated we've been here all morning and we've seen search teams going out to the java sea north of jakarta to the area near the 1000 islands and coming back to this court and just a few moments ago a search team returned with the debris from the sri wood giant jet we were able to see debris in the form of metal scraps about a metre large and you could actually see the blue and red hollows of shri which also just a few moments ago we saw an ambulance depart from the port heading to the police hospital most likely with human remains now at the police hospital that is where they are conducting an investigation and relying on support from relatives of those

on board the plane to help identify some of the passengers but of course everyone is waiting for their teams here to to locate the black box divers here all still searching the seabed we do know that authorities say they are confident that the signals they have picked up on all coming from the plane's black box so it is likely that we should hear some good news soon however if the black box is not found today those efforts will of course continue tomorrow just another note out of indonesia the country's now approve the chinese developed sign about corona virus vaccine for emergency use it is now the 1st country outside of china to give it the green light indonesia's food and drug agency says a human trials showed it is 65 percent effective a mass vaccination programs expected to be launched on quit and stay. china's foreign ministries strongly condemned the decision by the u.s. to lift restrictions on its relationship with taipei that's after taiwan's foreign minister praised the move saying relations with washington have now been elevated

to a court global partnership china considers i want to be part of its sovereign territory katrina year is following developments from beijing. china's foreign ministry spokesperson. gave a briefing to the press today on monday condemning like pompei was remarks saying that the one china principle was the foundation of the u.s. china relationship and that this move by lates 3 joint communique signed between the u.s. and china namely one that was signed at the end of 1978 the beginning of 1979 in which the u.s. promised to end all formal relations with taiwan now of course beijing considers taiwan a rogue state and says reunification with the main one is inevitable but at the same time apart from using very strong language making some threats more full stop short of making any concrete statements as to what they will do it does seem like beijing is taking a wait and see approach knowing very well that trump the trump administration only

has a few more days left in office they're hoping that the incoming biden administration will take a different tact and somehow reset relations with beijing but this all comes at a very messy time because just last week the trump administration announced that they would be sending the u.s. ambassador to the un kelly craft to taiwan this week starting on wednesday for a visit now that also angered beijing and beijing at the time said that this move was what they called the trump administration peddling anti china sentiment and kwacha in the spokesperson on friday said that the trump administration was engaging in what she called a final madness during its last days in office to sabotage the relationship between beijing and washington. recovery efforts continue at the site of a sunken ship in democratic republic of congo hundreds of bodies are believed to be trapped under the wooden vessel that capsized on friday while crossing the congo river and investigators say they are considering filing criminal charges the

support from calculus of the young. the sinking boat is part of a potential criminal investigation with dozens of bodies believed to be trapped underneath passengers were heading to the regional capital on this wooden boat when it capsized. there for a 2nd get in the boat had 3 separate levels all of them were full of people and their belongings there were hundreds of passengers including kids older men and women who were swallowed by the water i myself lost 5 members of my family. these people had relatives on board and now they're using fishing nets to recover bodies. survivors say the boat was carrying too many people and too much cargo including bags of cement. crossing lakes and rivers after nightfall is illegal in the d.r. sea at least reporting agents are under arrest for allowing the boat to leave and

the owner and members of the crew are under investigation so. i'm horrified and heartbroken this tragedy is the result of fraudulent behavior on friday evening a boat owner in his crew undertook to travel at night despite a ban on nighttime crossings unfortunately they defied it and that resulted in the events we all deploy. on lookers do what they can to help but finding out how many people were on board those difficult one of them are so much to do that but that is the business people here always hiding the data and authorities don't share honest information because they're the ones in charge of registering all the passengers before each trip and river. travel by boat is. commonly used in the d.r. see waterways link areas that are unconnected by roads and with limited regulation that makes disasters like these more likely. to the young al-jazeera.
