livelihoods. the final days of donald trump's presidency are being marked with historic political action and unprecedented security challenges democrats in the u.s. congress have now introduced an article of impeachment charging trump inciting insurrection during last week's unrest on capitol hill the vote is expected on wednesday a 2nd resolution urges the vice president invoke the 25th amendment that would remove trump by the clearing him unfit to hold office outside of congress and lead to f.b.i. memos warning of armed protests in washington d.c. and all 50 states in the days leading up to joe biden's inauguration security is being stepped up a week earlier than planned the national guard is deploying up to 15000 troops are just there is how to castro reports on the growing calls for transfer movable.

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 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. 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 emergency 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 ticks away and the calls for his removal rage louder heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. more now from mike hanna in washington with some new details on a meeting between trump and mike pence. it's been confirmed that president trump

met with his vice president mike pence in the oval office for about an hour sources described the conversation as very good it's the 1st time the 2 men have met since the violence in the capital last wednesday and since mike pence ignored the president's instructions and carried out his constitutional duty by recognizing the 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 it gives the department of homeland security and the federal federal 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 up to the inauguration despite those warnings of planned armed protests in the days surrounding his inauguration joe biden says he's not attached. i'm all for it if you. really believe brian or i think it's critically important going to be a real serious group on all those folks who are

agents and they should. read people's lives. based on property cause great damage to the economy and i think that's a view more than the journey to immigration republicans in the front. the u.s. state department has designated cuba a state sponsor of terrorism secretary of state mont pompei or says cuba has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism accounting safe harbor terrorists 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 at august in has the details from havana. this announcement by the trump ministration today is transparently motivated by domestic political. the primary reason they're doing it is to make it more difficult for 'd the

incoming biden ministration 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 was in bolts in the negotiations. with with your back in 2014 and many on the transition team. have experience because they some of the q. so this is something of a witchhunt time as none of us 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 violent 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 a terrorism or supporting nation is that it gets in there so they actually just even on their own. falls short it's all historical. and i use king has declared a state of emergency at the request of the country's embattled prime minister when he didn't yassin says additional powers and needed to stop a surge in sco the 1000 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 the he says the declaration is not a coup a fun story has more from kuala lumpur. well we don't yassin the prime minister of malaysia has been facing a leadership challenge for months since he came to power unelected in a power because that started late february of last year now and the leadership challenge comes not just from politicians within the ruling alliance but also from the opposition opposition leader and i brought him who said last year that he had

majority support in parliament and that he should be the next prime minister and then he had he also faced challenges from the united malays national organization that's the largest party in his ruling coalition now the politicians in that party feel they've been sidelined by them we need an 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 usher 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 deemed 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 the 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 he so law is a senior fellow with the singapore institute of international affairs he says the malaysian prime minister is losing the support of the key coalition partners. the prime minister has declared yes a muslim control order yesterday and people i thing at large would perceive a need for that to stay home and not try to you know we come into a part of. this economy. but to impose or to get cleared emergency a period with perhaps not at addition no sort of pandemic fighting venue to it so a lot of people are number one in disbelief or what a declaration of emergency number one would look forward to learning more details

as to holiday a sewer rights would be for the. heating yes in. total and i think you would like to consolidate his power from china and yes mom to buy i'm no and i was sold the opposition because parliamentary activities would be suspended during this period and. set the definition of emergency be sawed off brought lead to find soul soul could for example the definition for undermining that pandemic fighting effort would for example i'm no m.p.'s growing this up part from where he did in the construct by the powers that be undermining the pandemic fighting efforts for example so that remains to be seen. still ahead on al-jazeera indonesian search and rescue teams recover more human remains from
