republicans some big companies suspend donations to congressman to challenge joe biden's election for. it out of school and banking on the streets the situation for children in mali during the coronavirus that. we begin in the united states where the final days of donald trump's presidency have being marked with historic political action and unprecedented security challenges the u.s. house of representatives has introduced an article of impeachment against trump for his role in inciting a mob that stormed the capitol building last week on his ear as hard as joe castro has more on the growing calls for trump's removal. this is the insurrection that president trump is accused of fueling as alleged in the single
5:02 am
article of impeachment introduced to congress on monday incited by president trump the article reads members of the crowd he had addressed unlawfully breached and vandalized the capitol injured and killed law enforcement personnel menaced members of congress the vice president and congressional personnel and engaged in other violent deadly destructive and seditious acts. this doesn't mean trump has been impeached that would take a house vote likely to happen wednesday close to a majority of house members have said they'll vote yes in a move that would make trump the only u.s. president to be impeached twice the impeachment would then move to the senate where trump would go on trial given that his term ends a week from wednesday the trial would be after trump leaves office a conviction requiring the vote of at least 17 republican senators what bar him from holding future office impeachment and conviction at this point would serve the
5:03 am
purpose of keeping him from running again in 2024 and that would be a significant safety event so i don't think this is pure theater house resolution 20 house democrats are also trying to push out trump sooner claiming each day he's in office is a danger to the country but a republican objection monday quickly delayed that effort i object to the resolution demanding vice president mike pence invoke the 25th amendment to immediately remove trump from office will return to the floor tuesday pence is unlikely to oblige one reason his own presidential ambitions and other concern about further inflaming the radicalism of some trump supporters the f.b.i. is warning that armed groups are planning to travel to washington to incite more violence and respond if pence invokes the 25th amendment to remove trump from office soldiers now stand guard outside the u.s.
5:04 am
capitol with between 10 and 15000 national guard troops expected here by saturday my scared if i'm scared of anything it's for our democracy because we have a very extreme factions in our country that are armed and dangerous. the district's mayor has asked for a pre-emergent sea disaster declaration ahead of joe biden's inauguration to further facilitate security planning but the person who must grant the declaration is trump himself the man holed up and isolated inside the white house as his presidency takes away and the calls for his removal rage louder hi joe castro al-jazeera washington let's go live now to washington and a serious mike hanna is with us mike the president and vice president have met for the 1st time since the attack on the capital yes
5:05 am
indeed it's understood that the vice president my expense spent about an hour in the oval office with the president sources say that the conversation was good and so you say it is the 1st time that they've met since the violence in the capital last wednesday and since then mike pence refused to follow the president's instructions and insisted on carrying out his constitutional duty to recognize the electoral college vote so certainly it does appear that there is something of a bridging of differences between the 2 men but one thing that it does indicate to is that my parents has no indication of actually applying the 25th amendment as has been demanded by house democrats like there's been another resignation from president trump's cabinet at a leaked f.b.i. memo is warning of possible further violence and not just in washington ahead of the inauguration. indeed yes well the acting
5:06 am
secretary of homeland has actually tendered his resignation and comes into effect at midnight tonight chad wolf was acting secretary and he cites this reason for his resignation saying that he was facing a number of court actions because of his acting status he makes no mention with about the events of last week in regard to his resignation but this is a serious issue obviously homeland security is the department that will govern the security arrangements over the inauguration period along with the federal emergency management agency now it is the director of thema who will take over that as the point person of the security arrangements now president trump in the last hour or so has just approved an emergency declaration in d.c. normally that the declaration would only take place over the days of the inauguration but it is now being authorized by the president to come into immediate
5:07 am
effect this does give homeland security and greater powers in terms of providing greater security in this incredibly tense period and tense that is a leaked memorandum passed by the f.b.i. indicates that violence is possible in all 50 states so certainly there's a beary major threat in the inauguration period i was 0 as mike hanna reporting live from washington mike many thanks indeed rena show is a political strategist and founder of republican women for buy in she says that even president trump's closest allies are questioning his recent behavior but the damage has been done. i think this is the moment where obviously one's loyalty to party and country were questioned i'm a longtime country over party voter myself and i must say not having voted for president trump in either election 2016 or 2020 made me the culprit in today's
5:08 am
republican party people in the republican party label folks like myself as never trampers that was a label i never wanted i didn't want to identify myself as having had anything to do with this president but that was a label given to us they also said we had trumped arrangements in the room every time we war and about what violence in the future and we warned about the threat to the constitution well we saw happen last week in real time with people finding their morals finding their principles and remembering the very american values which have made this country prosperous and great for generations before i got here so i must say i'm a bit disappointed by these 11th hour resignations they don't mean much and i think we should hold to account all the folks that were part of the trumpet ministration and stood by silently as atrocities were committed the worst of which was last wednesday more now on the security challenges in the run up to joe biden's inauguration as we heard earlier an f.b.i. memo leaked to u.s.
5:09 am
media is warning law enforcement to be prepared for violence by right wing extremists from sunday security is being stepped up a week earlier than planned the national guard is deploying up to 15000 soldiers in washington and as we've said acting homeland security secretary chad wolf has resigned after criticizing tunnel trump for the riots on capitol hill steven rogers is a former member of the f.b.i. national joint terrorism task force at a former advisor to the tried to president trump during the 2016 campaign we asked him how the bureau can disrupt armed groups. well to begin with anyone who is going to join any on protest they ought to be put in jail we don't do things like that in this country i don't care who side they are innocent people innocent law enforcement officers get killed so that has to be immediately addressed by all of our leaders that that will not be tolerated in this country with regard to pollard
5:10 am
the shutting them down was a very dangerous thing to do why because you just remove 1st amendment rights from the people of this country as this tasteful as these things will be now to answer your question directly we do have tools in law enforcement a lot of intelligence gathering and in information gathering methodology other than the internet to ensure that we get the information we need to put a stop to a lot of what we see happening we just have to sometimes think about how we did it in the old days and you know what it worked pretty well some of the largest corporations in the us a suspending donations to republican lawmakers who are challenging joe biden's presidential victory they include telecommunications giant 18 t. the hotel chain marriott international and citibank bank of america and for most of the say that they will take recent political events into account before making future donations and big name companies like b.p. c.v.s.
5:11 am
health exxon mobile and target say that they're reviewing the donation policies but also franco as a former senior advisor to the late us republican senator john mccain he joins us now live from washington d.c. via skype good to have you with the so the old adage money speaks louder than woods's culprit america writes to cut campaign contributions to those whose actions it perhaps disapproves of. well i think it's symbolic one of the things that corporate america is famous for doing whether it's a black lives movement or right now the very tense situation the country is is in when it sees it crisis where most americans are appalled by the events it takes some symbolic action and i say symbolic for this reason the end just a virtually all of those corporations do not lie with the heat by an administration and certainly the more extreme elements in the democratic party and therefore you
5:12 am
will see in short order president trump has little over a week left in office after he leaves the scene the interest of these corporations and their shareholders will be foremost in their interest right now is to make symbolism and to say that they're cutting ties to the trump administration a war those who support president tropp that's going to be very short lived but it's going to be back on in short order money of course for years has been used to buy political influence into see this then as a new tactic withholding money to influence political to schools. well there has been withholding money in the past in a very limited situations never on this scale never with respect to the president of the united states that's for certain but most of these corporations of course skip to both parties and try to influence both parties but the fact is that most businesses and these large corporations share the philosophy of the republican party and the republican leadership in the congress that is now has the task of
5:13 am
trying to moderate but the brakes on some of the the initiatives that the president president elect biden will be putting forward those are their biggest interests this is simply with all due respect a commercial something that tries to score points but i hope we have an opportunity in a few months to discuss political donations by these companies and i can assure you they will be flying back to republican candidates even candidates that were strongly in support of president trump ok so that's the optimistic view that this is going to be over within a few months but what impact will it have on those who are blacklisted particularly if it goes on longer than a few months. well i think the blacklisting situation is a frightening development sure the other guests views and some of the what this means about 1st amendment what the course the tech giants are doing it's a type of mccarthyism that's involved in this supporting the policies of trumpet
5:14 am
ministration and even frankly i know the president really does regret what happened he didn't intend this but he is really he has bears testa bear responsibility but i'm not sure with all said and done and people reflect on this that he incited this in the legal sense of the word he contributed to something that we lost control that represents a narrow very narrow group of trump supporters that's a long way of saying that in the next few months when this hot moment abates the focus will be then on tax policy on the policies of the business policies of the by the administration i'm not sure do these companies really want capital gains taxes to go up significantly as the vitamin astray she has proposed that's when you'll see a very delicate non publicized shift in the policies of these companies to support
5:15 am
republican candidates could still change so many thanks indeed at all for franco that in washington thank you. a weather update next year there are 0 then the outgoing trumpet ministration puts cuba back on a list of state sponsors of terrorism will have an update from. large scale vaccination centers open in the u.k. where people are being warned of the darkest weeks of the pandemic are still ahead . it's time for the perfect jenny. sponsored plan qatar airways how low that we've got more snow in the forecast for japan i'm afraid but as we go into the middle part of the week i'm optimistic that things will turn a little milder some very heavy snowfall recently route 100 vehicles trapped on the
5:16 am
road here this is in central parts of a whole issue as we go on through the next couple of days as i say things will gradually start to improve but there have been power cuts it will take a while for things to work get sorted out here as you can really quite imagine as we go on through chews day ready get up to 5 celsius in tokyo some more snowfall coming in across honshu and into hokkaido and then the winds change the winds go out to move a westerly direction a milder direction should get up to around 10 degrees celsius it does bring with it a rapid thor so we are looking at the possibility the prospects of some flooding problems and that could also lead to major delays as a result of that avalanche risk of course will also be something of an issue behind that there's that moderate 7 or 8 celsius the beijing and to solve china generally try and find come down into southeast asia heavy showers there into central and southern parts of the philippines heavy showers to continuing across a good part of malaysia with a possible shift further flooding around but she's. sponsored

terrorists in 2015 then president barack obama delisted cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism in order to normalize relations at augustan reports now from havana. this announcement by the trumper ministration today is transparently motivated by domestic political and. the primary reason that doing it is to make it more difficult for 'd the incoming by the administration to normalize relations with the cuban government. wants and needs normalize relations with the u.s. and it's no secret that the biden administration has of course joe biden as president who was involved in the negotiations. with which you go back in 201415 and many on the transition team have experience because they should have accused this is something of a time bomb none of this tells you to get in the way and make it more difficult for the organization to proceed i'm looking down the press statement that was published
