uganda's opposition from just supporters to turn out and define timid a contemptuous elections. 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 which charges with inciting insurrection during last week's violence on capitol hill a vote is expected on wednesday separately another resolution is due to be voted on in the coming hours it urges the vice president to invoke the 25th amendment this allows for the removal of a president deemed unfit for office away from congress the link there is warning of

protests in washington d.c. and all 50 states in the days leading up to joe biden's inauguration let's go live now to washington d.c. alan fischer joins us from the white house so allan how is the impeachment process unraveling now. well 1st of all it will be jamie raskin a congressman from. maryland who will put forward the motion that mike pence use the 25th amendment to remove donald trump that of course is the amendment the constitution says the vice president along with a majority of the cabinet can rule that the president is unfit for office and therefore should be removed that's not going to happen mike pence isn't going to take any action on that even though he hasn't said anything publicly about it he's very much tied to a donald trump he's got political ambitions of his own and he hadn't spoken to donald trump since whedon's they since the day of the vote on the attack on the capitol but the 2 of the met for 90 minutes on monday evening according to the

official readout they discussed the achievements they've made in the last 4 years so no mention at all of the 25th amendment and might pence is reluctant to do it also because it would take too long to implement because once he gets together with the cabinet if he did vote to remove donald trump donald trump could then send a letter to say no i'm absolutely fine i can do this job and then there has to be a panel of experts appointed takes is well beyond january the 20 or so mike pence sees no point in doing that when it could damage him politically so that's unlikely to happen means that all focus then will be on wednesday when they'll be a motion in the house to impeach donald trump the democrats absolutely convinced of that more than enough votes if you consider all the democratic members of the house plus a number of republicans who also want to see donald trump impeached for this so it's likely that donald trump will become the 1st president ever to be impeached for a 2nd time what will it mean well there's got to be a senate hearing after that donald trump doesn't think that that's going to happen

before january the 20th nancy pelosi might actually sit on the articles of impeachment until after joe biden is inaugurated remember she did that this time last year when we were talking about impeachment on the ukraine affair so it could well be that donald trump will see out his days in all. this but he could face an impeachment trial once he leaves which could end up with him losing his security cover his pension access to intelligence briefings and of course on a separate vote the senate could decide that he could never run for federal office again which would rule him out of the 2024 election and remember for a lot of republicans that's the ballgame they're looking at the 2024 election and possible runs for themselves so everything is viewed through that prism. talking about security issues allan we have been hearing about this f.b.i. report that's being leaked what is the security situation what does it look like in

the u.s. capitol right now. most certainly up on capitol hill they are preparing for the inauguration in the way that they were prepared for inauguration but certainly we're seeing much tighter security there are more armed officers in the area the national guard has already put 10000 officers into the capitol with 5000 more on standby if they're needed at any point over the next few days muriel bowser who is the mayor of washington d.c. has said that she might extend her coronavirus lot done it to the 24th of january that would mean restaurants were closed would be various other restrictions just an attempt to keep people away they've already said they don't want people in washington d.c. that's really unusual because normally before an inauguration that's when a lot of hotels and a lot of restaurants make a lot of money because of hundreds of thousands of people flooding in to this city that's not going to happen this time around some actually are getting people to

stay away because she's consent so the security around here incredibly tight. there is aware of the threat and the f.b.i. also aware of the threat they say that they can't discuss ongoing operations but it's clear that they have an idea of people who may cause trouble and it's every there's every possibility that they will be and deceptive before the even get close to washington d.c. and of course the march this planned for the 17th of january and then the inauguration of joe biden on the 20th. right thanks so much fish on dating us on the situation there. divers in indonesia have recovered one of the black boxes from a passenger plane that crashed into the ocean and had 62 people on board the one they found is the flight data recorder it logs information like instrument readings engine performance and altitude the cockpit voice recorder the tapes the pilot is

still in the see the boeing 737500 crash shortly after takeoff from jakarta on saturday jessica washington has more from jakarta. here a ton to korea of course this is where the search effort for the investigation into flight s.j. 102 is being coordinated you can see some of what crews have brought back from a search of the java sea north of jakarta near the 1000 islands that includes parts of the aircraft large and small mostly mangled beyond recognition crews have also found human remains and the belongings of passengers but what authorities announced just a few moments ago could provide the clearest picture of what happened to flight s j one a today announced they found the flight data recorder just a few hours ago they have not yet found the cockpit voice recorder however they are optimistic that that cockpit voice recorder should be in

a close vicinity to where they found the flight data recorder. we believe that the cockpit voice recorder is also in that area because of the beacons reading that's why we believe it will be found. the flight data recorder is now in jakarta and in the hands of the quay and katie that is indonesia's transport safety commission they are the ones who are conducting the investigation into what happened to this boeing aircraft this boeing 737500 flight from jakarta to pontianak in west delhi months they say that it could take 2 to 5 days just to download the data from the recorder and that it is likely. to be a long process b commission has also announced some early findings that they are confident that the plane was fully intact the forward and to the java sea based on the size of the debris field which they say is around 300 to 400 meters. now the u.k. is introducing new rules to stop companies doing business with

a part of china where there are allegations of forced labor foreign secretary dominic rob says there's growing evidence we go muslims inching jang province are being abused on a huge scale he described it as barbarism human rights groups say at least a 1000000 wiggers and other minorities have been imprisoned in camps in recent years china denies this saying people are being educated and trained in special centers. chalons joins us from joins us from lewis south of london so what sort of new rules is the u.k. introducing. well essentially what dominic robb is saying is that he wants to toughen up the u.k.'s modern slavery act and make it centrally it impossible for companies in the u.k. to profit from supply chains where parts etc are being

sourced from. the region of china where these human rights abuses are taking place recordings what the u.k. is saying. and what that is going to look like is a is a review of export policy which means that somewhere down the line there are likely to be fines for companies that are doing their due diligence aren't looking at transparency of supply chains except for and are sourcing parts or exporting parts to shanghai they there is also a push to get a ban on companies from securing government contracts if again they can't do the same due diligence or transparency so essentially what the u.k. is doing is saying that it has a moral duty to act on this and government rob is saying that he's sending a clear message to china about the u.k.'s position. the what the human rights

groups of called ethnic cleansing of we goes that's been going on for years why now with with this measure from the u k. well i think that the u.k. has been for some time one of the most critical of the global voices speaking out against china for its behavior towards the week is in june jang it is led to various. international statements on this in the united nations. it has been saying that these tougher measures have been are being drawn up or have been drawn up for a while now why now well i think there are a few things that are going on there as the context of what's happening in hong kong which of course used to be british territory and the u.k.

is been very critical of the crackdown against political dissidents political opposition this in hong kong recently and has offered. thousands and thousands of hong kong as a party u.k. system and citizenship but also i think you have to look at this in the context of brecht's it as well and see that you know for a while for a great many years the u.k.'s foreign policy is essentially been snagged and snarled up in the process now that it's pretty much free of that it has the opportunity to. flex its muscles again on the international stage and to put some distance between its foreign policy and he used foreign policy and dominic robb was quite clear in his statements earlier today that he didn't like the way that the e.u. is doing things that moment particularly with regard to. an investment deal that the e.u. is in the process of sorting out with china i think i can read a quote from don't it probably says that no country should wait until things get to

the level of genocide before it takes action a pointed dig there at the e.u.'s foreign policy and setting out an independent u.k. foreign policy in that has some difference to the. challenge there i guess. coming up after the weather i win for india's protesting farmers the supreme court puts a hold on contentious new agriculture laws exhausted and overwhelmed by the pandemic mexico's health workers make an emotional plea via social media. how the weather pretty quiet now across a good parts of east asia because some quotes weather improving weather mild
