exhausted and overwhelmed by the pandemic mexico's health workers make an emotional plea via social media. to the sports news new england patriots n.f.l. coach bill belichick declines prison terms offer of a middle of freedom. now the final days of donald trump's presidency being marked with an historic political action and unprecedented security challenges democrats in the u.s. congress have introduced an article of impeachment which charges trump with inciting insurrection during last week's violence on capitol hill a vote is expected on wednesday separately a resolution being voted on as early as tuesday urges the vice president to invoke

the 25th amendment this allows for the removal of a president deemed unfit for office. on the way from congress a leaked f.b.i. memo is warning of armed protests in washington d.c. and old 50 states in the days leading up to joe biden's inauguration haida joe castro reports from washington d.c. . 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 101-5000 national guard troops expected here by saturday in 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. castro al-jazeera washington and dog trump has showed up ties with his vice president as the impeachment moves game pace maicon explains now. 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 and 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 the homeland department has resigned chaired rupert 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. we're joined by mark shanahan he's an associate professor at the university of reading and coeditor of the trump presidency from campaign trial to world stage good to have you with us so this spike building momentum trump i take it you still think it's probably unlikely to be removed from office either by the 25th amendment or an impeachment proceeding right yeah i think everybody everybody who isn't a transporter will simply like him to resign and to make things that are not going to happen the next step is that potential food invoking rules 4 of the 25th amendments and pence is very much holding out against that i think he's keeping it in reserve just in case trump really does do something absolutely in the last few days that will be really really difficult for the u.s.

to recover so that insecure congress and the idea of all that the 2nd in each month that won't remove him from office before his time runs out. in some ways it will be symbolic given that the trial won't happen until long after trump has 3 cases the premises but he has to be held accountable for his actions in inciting the riots at the council last week. corporate america seems to be turning on this doesn't it we've had companies saying they're not going to continue to fund some of the pro trump elements how important is that not only for the on trump but for the republican party. the trump brand is becoming toxic very quickly i think once he does leave the white house we'll see the power of trump will weigh very very quickly as the naked emperor emerges the figure leaves stripped away and one

sees the militant say that really has been there the hearts of the president say the last 4 years now he for 3 years delivered a very straightforward republican presidency he rolled back regulation he reduced taxes corporate america really really lights that but he's threatened democracy and threats against americans of ocracy does no good for american business and therefore does no good for soft power and hard power standing for the country in the world's has also been a trump move on cuba putting it on this to have supporters of terrorism why now we've had a raft of last minute serious foreign policy moves based rather than take this is the scorched earth policy of the rich racing administration now when he 1st came into office it was very clear that trump had a plan pretty much to roll back everything that obama had put in place cuba had

pretty much slipped under the radar although the relations between the usa and cuba have not been good it's been difficult for the last few years this is about making it very difficult for the incoming bitin administration to normalize those relations again they can't change their style or exit from the state department for 45 days so this is not immediately something that they can reverse they seems quite full it was certainly unnecessary and it is absolutely not the norm for annexing administration while they're in the lame duck phase all right good to get your analysis on that thanks so much. 2 u.s. police officers who were on capitol hill during wednesday's riots have been suspended at least 10 other officers are under investigation according to a democratic congressman one of the suspended officers had his photo taken with a protester the other war pro trump hat capitol police are reviewing

negotiations between farmers and bulk buyers farmers say prices for their crops will plummet and large corporations will end up having too much power over the sector nearly 60 percent of india's population depends on farming for their livelihoods many are already struggling to get by on 5 farmers lives below the poverty line there's a path for and joins us now from the poorest border crossing so tell us more about this ruling. hello sami to the supreme court said that it is suspending the implementation of the 3 farm laws which were passed in september because there's so much opposition to them and that it's also going to create a committee that's going to assess the situation both around the laws and the protests themselves that said that it's taking this action because the government hasn't been able to resolve the situation and that anyone who is interested in genuinely solving this problem the fallout from the laws which have seen hundreds

of thousands of farmers blocking 3 major highways into delhi tens of farmers dying from camping out in the cold that anyone who is genuinely interested in solving the problem will appear before the committee which will submit its report to the court the supreme court has been hearing both petitions by farmers against the laws and petitions by the government against the protests since monday and said it was extremely disappointed with the government's handling of the protests took knowledge of those people who died it said that if there's any violence that breaks out ask who's going to be responsible for any bloodshed and that is why it is suspending these laws until it hears from the committee on the way forward. about the farmers themselves what does that leave their campaign. sammy i can't hear you because it's very loud here but let me just tell you about

the farmers reaction in both the reaction by the farmers and the government as well to this very strong order by the supreme court farmers have well come to the government's the court's rather very strong rebuke of the government but they wherry of a suspension of the implementation of laws because they have been demanding that the laws be repealed altogether they said that they're really fundamentally flawed they don't trust that suspending them is going to be enough another thing is we've heard in the last hour a few people that are going to form the committee are all people who are in favor of the walls all of the reform changes to india's agriculture sector which are very similar to these laws that's not going to bode well with farmers now the government meanwhile has maintained that the laws were the result of 2 decades of deliberation with farmers they want to push through that farmers are happy about them because it gives them more options that they're engaging with farmers the court heard all of this including the farmers reluctant to take part in the committee and said that

it's trying to solve the problem and that the alternative for farmers if it doesn't take part in this process is just protesting indefinitely. all right thanks so much elizabeth for all i'm back. for more on this we're joined by us this monday he's an agricultural policy specialist and former director of the institute for social and economic change good to have you with us how much of a victory is this for farmers at this point. i don't say victory or non victory in fact. if the laws are skating then it's a defeat for the farmers who really really want the laws to be dead but then they are those child they are not the people who are dominating. the problem is that for the present the entire issue has been started and i equate this more or less

what had happened in the capital the other day by the time supporters great democracy is being taken by its neck by a few people who are quite adamant to do the things. they want their own way only and nothing else this is something which is totally kind of an across the total number of farmers that are gathered there most of them are from only a few states not from all the states this is a misnomer to the world one can see the photographs and one can make out that these farmers belong to a particular state only a particular region only 2nd thing is that supreme court has taken a very good stand perhaps a let me just jump in here and say it is ultimately the court that has turned the situation around with this ruling not the farmers forcing their will rise there

was a legal ruling the ruling came mainly because. the supreme court judgment very clearly states that we would like to our wide any kind of iron to our incident in delhi and in the capital the problem is that i don't feel sorry are you suggesting that the calling was not the literature relation of the law but it bowed out of the judge's interpretation of the political and security situation in the country yes exactly exactly it is very clear in the judgment itself that we want to pause there is no spam the law is passed and the world makes a lot of difference if there is a fair law the law cannot be implemented if there is a pause then the law can be implemented after everything is cleared now the thing

is that this kind of adamancy is detrimental to the democracy because fathers don't want anything else but to take back the law not today to one law fight tomorrow another lobby will get up maybe of the traders maybe of exporters maybe our teachers i will say that a law passed by the parliament must be taken back and thousands of them will gather hauser's not millions i will rule that millions of people saying that you how to listen to us and nothing else this kind of thing does not operate in any democracy in the world and so also we just know i heard your program about a tribe and a capital issue exactly the similar kind of thing that there is an argument see that we want this or nothing else we would have differences there is an underlying cause anyway thank you very much for free we are us on r s and

a. now malaysia's king has declared a state of emergency at the request of the country's prime minister martin you're seen says additional powers are needed to stop a surge and 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 which more who denies florence louis 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 crews 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 he 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 that we had an administration the

government is trying to avoid parliamentary oversight in requesting they staged the state of emergency to be declared in malaysia. is chief executive officer of the institute for democracy and economic affairs a think tank and she joins us from kuala lumpur good to have you with us so let's start with the obvious question was this a bell. all politics. thank you for having me phil the announcement of the emergency took people by surprise there's money to be because there was just yesterday that we heard the prime minister announcing a new what we call a movement control order that supports it begins tomorrow so today it was meant to be our business that's the plan and make sure that things are falling into place the speculation like actually that the reason the emergency is being called far is more political not that for health reasons because the n.c. or like i said not yesterday it would have been able to take care of any health

precautions by keeping people home what the emergency death of cars over and beyond keeping people home were to be number one it's not spent on immense and number 2 will it's not sworn elections until august or such a time that this independent committee decides that it's safe to have an election and of course this comes at the back of the government itself be a very unstable and you have had members of parliament withdrawing support for the government and it's up to date if we are to believe that number is the prime minister actually that's not had but that's not come on that's a part of parliament $190.00 out of one sensitive to members of parliament m is not majority and so while he says that the emergency bringing some stability of i do believe that this so-called period of stability is going to be a short and it's one that is fact and what it is and you know that in a visible solution out for whatever government and parliament should have been

that's a huge and if an election was not to be called because the public health reasons parliament should have been the result of political impasse this is interesting because if authorities as you're explaining there was saying the m c o movement control is enough to control the coded 9 situation it begs the question then why did the king decide to. proven emergency announcement rather than refuse it as he did in october what does it stay say about his changing position towards promise to market day and perhaps even towards the coalition partner. you're right that that's an astute observation that this was a request that he thought in october and at that time the request was actually deny it and many people celebrate that that aling that we are going on the killing was very wise and making that decision this time i can't speak on behalf of the king as

to why i'm he has made that decision to allow for it but i feel that the sort of political instability that the prime minister has talked about. he has tried to make the case that perhaps yes one of. the mind and the heart of the king in saying that that the precise political instability is what well that then business that the man's i do not know whether that is the right justification for it but that's the only reason i'm with him a good i'm good at convience and say the kids make that decision and i support the other reason what the that that the nations are supposed to be coming soon so the government has announced that vaccinations will arrive on our shores in february and perhaps the king is thinking that once the vaccinations rolled out in about 2 or 3 months things stabilize and perhaps then the committee will be able to make a decision about the election but again i think that view is also look at the base it on thank you so much for that thank you.

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera it's time to recap those headlines the u.s. house democrats have introduced a resolution to impeach president on trial for inciting violence on capitol hill last week are also urging vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment declaring trump unfit to hold office. india's supreme court says pause the implementation of controversial new agricultural moles farmers say the new rules would undercut prices when they've been protesting since november the negotiating committee will hear their grievances and work on the best way to move forward. malaysia's king is declared a state of emergency at the request of the country's prime minister once again you're seen says additional powers are needed to stop a surge in covert 900 cases critics say it's an attempt by an unstable government to cling to power one who denies. as we reported

earlier in the news out some of the largest corporations in the u.s. are suspending donations to republican politicians who challenge joe biden's white house victory they include telecommunications giant 80 and t. hotel chain marriott international and citibank bank of america and ford motors say they will take recent political events into account before making future donations while big name companies like b.p. c.v.s. eggs on mobile and target say they are reviewing their donation policies too and u.s. media outlets are reporting that trump's most important lender germany's deutsche bank will no longer do business with him. about on the sloan is a former us federal prosecutor she says the pulling of the nations will have a huge impacts on the republican policy and we're seeing new companies added to the

list by the minute we've seen tar get federal express exxon mobile wal-mart delta all reconsidering their contributions and the american political system is run on campaign contributions without being 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 pride 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 and they're going to be reconsidering their donations and this is the 1st quarter of a new cycle is often a slow time for donations anyway but on the other hand dow chemicals that they're not going to be giving anymore donations to anybody who supported the. has supported the effort to undermine president biden for the rest of this cycle for the rest of their term which means for members of congress 2 years and for senators up to 6 years so that's much longer period of time and we will see if other companies followed suit. now the european commission president is urging health ministers from the e.u. member states to stick to a joint strategy on coronavirus vaccines the you is negotiating contracts with vaccine developers as a block but some members may be breaking away to make their own deals with suppliers europe's lead negotiator for vaccine contracts is briefing any piece on

the latest development from on this let's speak to. paris so what does the commission president one member states or what can she compel member states to do. well it's obviously a huge challenge for the e.u. because what the commission is trying to do is make sure that the nearly 500000000 people who are eligible for a vaccine within the european union get a vaccine and it's an incredible challenge as a huge amount of people across 27 member states now the e.u. strategy for the covert vaccine has been for the e.u. to actually negotiate contracts directly with the pharmaceutical companies and obtain doses of the vaccine use me as a block so that is that an individual countries don't negotiate those countries those contracts but the e.u. doesn't fall on behalf of the 27 member states the idea being is that that is more

fair that the rollout of those doses will be done equally shared equally amongst those $27.00 member states the problem is though that that hasn't actually happened we've seen some countries which seem to have more doses of vaccinating at a higher rate like germany or denmark and then other countries like france that are lagging behind governments are also really coming up against obstacles because there are many countries in the european union where many people are skeptical about vaccines in france for example only one in 2 people actually say that they actually want the vaccine so that's also the difficulty was so far the e.u. has obtained 600000000 doses of the biotech pfizer vaccine $130000000.00 from and the european medical agency is looking to green light the astra zeneca vaccine by the end of the month which would of course add more vital doses to supply it

says that it is ready to vaccinate everyone in the european union but some experts are saying that those doses simply aren't enough or they're not coming fast enough what we've heard a few hours ago is from the lead negotiator for the. you are on vaccine contracts she says the logistics of there are in place she says there shouldn't be any problem with distribution but what m.e.p.a. is are asking for is for more transparency on the vaccine contracts on what's in them so that they can also convince many vaccine skeptic populations within the european union to also volunteer move readily to have these vaccines or a thanks so much and tash obama now police in the u.k. will be getting tougher on lock down rule breakers london's police chief says people who breach restrictions will be more likely to be fined the police minister

hasn't ruled out stricter measures infections are rising sharply in the u.k. the office of national statistics says there were more than 90000 excess deaths last year the highest since world war 2 paul brown joins us now live from the british capital so why are these stricter measures that the policing minister saying he might bring in. well kit malthouse the crime of policing minister has been doing the rounds of the broadcast to do is this morning and outlining the fact that from his point of view the government is particularly reluctant to toughen up the rules that said he admitted that the government is in his words on tenterhooks watching the data and realizing that if the data continues in the direction that it's going then something tougher is going to have to be introduced figures from last night's show that 32000 people are

currently hospitalized just in england alone with coronavirus on the important thing to compare is the peak of the pandemic in april 2020 just 18000 were hospitalized at that time so you can see there's a big difference there the issue is philosophical in many ways the conservatives don't particularly want to have to tighten the restrictions if they don't have to they are a party of of freedom in many respects but that said the advice from the medics and from the scientists is weighing heavy on the shoulders. thanks so much paul brennan. in mexico the covered 19 outbreak has caused one of the world's highest mortality rates among health worker care workers with record virus numbers and hospitals nearly full in several cities mexican health professionals are pleading with the population to stay indoors when you are apollo reports from

mexico city. health workers in mexico say they're at a breaking point this still worsening health crisis is taking in especially high toll on medical professionals according to the government's own data almost 2500 people employed in the nation's health sector have died since the start of the outbreak. doctors and nurses from the national public health service recently published in emotional plea on social media saying that many of them have reached the point of physical and emotional exhaustion. we're begging you do not expose yourself to come to become a transmitter of the disease. mexico remains one of the country's hardest hit by the pandemic the nation's economy is hurting as well. on monday restaurant workers protested against containment measures which have led many businesses to close their doors for most of our voters and of going out if. we are workers that are

being condemned to unemployment or small business owners that are being driven to bankruptcy and we're not the only ones behind every plate of food is a long production line. since the start of the outbreak in mexico much of the debate over how to strike a balance between curbing transmission of coronavirus and preserving the health of the economy has taken the form of protests like this one outside mexico's national palace. in an effort to curb contagion government officials have reinstated partial lockdown measures in mexico city. at the same time however daily deaths and new coronavirus cases have both soared to record highs pushing many medical facilities to the limit on this because the patients have to wait for 4 or 5 hours there are no bits there are no ventilators there's no oxygen cues are very long sometimes that we have to wait and fight over beds the situation he said of control. the

national back sedation program is slowly being rolled out health experts have stepped up efforts to warn the population of the ongoing risks of the virus and that's when things can adding another layer of worry has been the announcement that the 1st case of a mutated stream of covert 19 1st spotted last year in the united kingdom was recently detected in the mexican state of tamaulipas. al-jazeera mexico city. get to some breaking news coming in from indonesia now a divers have discovered one of the black boxes from a passenger plane that crashed into the ocean with 62 people on board on saturday the devices which recalled the pilot's voices flight thoughts are expected to shed light on why the boeing 737500 plunged into the sea just off the takeoff. all right let's go to jessica washington she joins us now from jakarta so

jessica i guess it's going to be a while before we get any clues from what's inside the black boxes for right. for this search effort in this in. best acacia is still still very much ongoing so i mean this effort has been under under way since the weekend when a boat when that boeing 737500 plane went missing and loss a signal of the flight s j 182 we've just heard from authorities in indonesia and that briefing is still ongoing so we're still hearing some crucial information what we have just heard is that they have found the whole f d r that is the flight data recorder they are still trying to locate the cockpit voice recorder that is the information that we have at this stage the situation is still developing the investigation into what happened to flight s.j. 182 has already commenced with early findings from the transport safety commission

finding that firstly the call from the from judgment from the jakarta air traffic control center to the pilot there was nothing suspicious or unusual that they found about that but early findings also indicate that based on the spread of the debris that the boeing plane in question most likely did. was fully intact when it entered the java sea we are still hearing this information from the briefings so we will keep keep monitoring this situation so just clarify what you said for us because i think it was really important you said they found position we talk about the black box jennifer we thing called the recall just because sorry we think of the flight recorder that's recording the voice the conversation that was going on in the culture but if i understood what you just said correctly they have not found that voice recording instrument all they found is a flight darts
