observes how does your concert reports on the growing calls for trump's removal. this is the insurrection that president trump is accused of fueling as alleged in the single 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 rate would serve the 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 pens is unlikely to oblige one reason his own presidential ambitions and other concern about further inflaming the radicalism of some trumped supporters the f.b.i.

electoral college vote president trump has in the last few hours passed an emergency declaration in washington d.c. authorized an emergency declaration this was only due to come into effect at the time of the inauguration but because of the looming security threat it is now being brought in with immediate effect and gives the department of homeland security and the federal patrol emergency management agency added powers in terms of creating security plans for this travels period the acting secretary of homeland department has resigned chaired wolf and did not quote last week's events as a reason for the resignation instead saying that he was resigning because he was facing various court actions because of his acting status but this is serious because the department of homeland security is the body that governs all the

security arrangements in this inauguration period and there is a major threat indeed according to the f.b.i. the agency has had a memorandum leaked to the media in which it says that violence is threatened in all 50 states in this period leading to the inauguration. the u.s. state department has designated cuba a state sponsor of terrorism secretary of state mont pompei it says cuba had repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism and granting safe harbor to terrorists the designation subjects cuba to new sanctions on exports and limits u.s. foreign assistance 2015 then president barack obama removed cuba from the list to normalize relations and augusten has the details from havana this announcement by the trumper ministration today is transparently motivated by domestic political is . the primary reason that doing it is to make it more difficult for the incoming

by the administration to normalize relations with the cuban government. wants and needs to normalize relations with the u.s. and it's no secret that the biden administration has of course joe biden as president was in bolts in the negotiations. with with here back in 2014 and many on the transition team. have experience because they don't have a cure so this is something of a witchhunt time because none of this told you earlier to get in the way and make it more difficult for the organization to proceed i'm looking down at the press statement that was published today by the state department's quite instructive there are lots of true things that the states do but yes does support does does harbor. north americans who committed violence some of them for political ends it does harbor members of spanish lumbee in the terror groups however all of these people are. happy with the many many decades nothing has changed during which our

inspiration justified contempt for its notion that it's terrorism or support nation was that it gets in there so they actually just even on their own. falls short it's all historical it's. malaysia's king has declared a state of emergency has the request of the country's embattled prime minister when he says additional powers are needed to stop a surging covert 19 cases the country is reporting on average more than 2400 new infections every day critics say it's an attempt by an unstable government to cling to power but you dean says the declaration is not a coup front story joins us now live from kuala lumpur florence just explain this to us why is it being viewed as a potential way to hold on to power. well we didn't yassin the prime minister of malaysia has been facing a leadership challenge for months since he came to power unelected in a power comes that started late february of last year now the leadership challenge

comes not just from politicians within the ruling alliance but also from the opposition opposition leader anwar ibrahim who said last year that he had a majority support in parliament and that he should be the next prime minister and then he or he also face challenges from the united lays national organization that's the largest party in his ruling coalition and the politicians in that party feel they've been sidelined by the minute in administration they threaten to withdraw support to force early general election and the prime minister and his televised address on tuesday explaining what the state of emergency will mean now and said it should in a period of calm and stability for the country now in a sense there will be an end to political uncertainty because elections all elections will be suspended until such a time that a special committee that's going to be set up deems it safe to do so but at the same time parliament and state assembly sittings will also be suspended and that is

really the thing that concerns a lot of civil rights activists and some analysts you've even got southeast asian members of parliament issuing a statement saying that this feels like the had an administration the government is trying to avoid parliamentary oversight in requesting they study the state of emergency to be declared in the later ok as you mentioned no elections during this emergency period no government business that's raising some criticism how's that going to play out do you think politically. well politically i think it's going to be very hard for opposition politicians and also for the members for the disgruntled politicians in the ruling alliance to challenge the prime minister at this stage and the prime minister and his televised address also said that anybody who doesn't cooperate with the government in

fighting this pandemic and the state of emergency he's made clear is a tool for the country to fight the pen demick then that person. they're going to be punished because that in this that that's essentially going against the government so in a way i think analysts will say that he has in a way been able to buy himself some time at least until the end of the emergency which for this fall which as we know which what we know now is going to go on until the 1st of august or possibly earlier if the number of krona virus cases in malaysia start to drop ok i think the story there live from kuala lumpur. still ahead on al jazeera search and rescue teams find more human remains in the java scene from the passenger plane that crashed with 62 people on board. out of school and out begging to survive a dicey to a ship of children in mali during the crowd of ours pandemic.

a few minutes ago search teams returned from the java sea with some of the debris they found just up out of the way so you can take a look at some of what they have found during this investigation just to give you a sense of the scale of this operation almost 4000 personnel are deployed 54 ships as well it is a huge effort involving the military the police the government and of course experienced divers there are $33.00 ambulances on standby in the event that today during this search divers uncover more human remains those remains will be taken to the police. for further investigation so far during this investigation search teams have found $24.00 large parts from the plane 16 bags of small metal scraps and $74.00 bags of human remains have already been taken to the police where that victim identification process is already underway yesterday authorities announced

campaign contributions without having contributions these members of congress will not be able to get reelected and it seems that these companies have decided it was finally time to take a stand i think there's probably been a great deal of disappointment in the past few days about how you republicans have really come out strongly against what happened at the capitol on wednesday they're not rallying around the need to either use the 25th amendment or impeach the president and there has been a lot of support pry republicans for senators josh holly and ted cruz who are the ringleaders of this effort in the senate and i think that we're now seeing the american business is saying enough is enough we need to stop this especially in light of the violence that we seem to be expecting now around the country in the coming days as some companies have said they're just taking a pause in they're going to be reconsidering their donations and this is the 1st
