futility as expected given the democrat majority in the house the motion was passed but there's only after the vice president stated he would not invoke the 25th amendment and remove president trump from office in a letter to the speaker of the house the vice president said and i quote i do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation or consistent with our constitution he added under our constitution the 25th amendment is not a means of punishment or usurpation invoking the 25th amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent. the debate did serve to indicate the arguments that are likely to be used in the impeachment process that will now begin in the house on wednesday the president was hell bent on trying to challenge undermine and overturn the results of the election in all of the events leading up to january 6th and on
11:03 am
january 6th that is the profound dear works of the president's judy. there are those republicans who strongly disagreed including one who was controversially awarded a medal of honor by president trump on monday in kenya calls to impeach the president or remove him from office for using the 25th amendment i don't think are healthy for our nation early in the day the president made his 1st public appearance since the eruption of violence in the capital last wednesday while besetting a portion of the border wall he continued to deny any responsibility for the damage and the deaths lashing out at those in congress seeking his impeachment the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and it is causing tremendous anger in division and pain. but the majority of house members are adamant that the violence in the capital last week was

a direct consequence of what they call incitement by the president the seed has resulted in what the f.b.i. and the acting u.s. attorney say is the most extensive criminal investigation ever launched in the u.s. . i think the scope and scale of this investigation in these cases are really on trust events and not only in f.b.i. history but probably d.o.j. history in which essentially the capitol grounds outside and inside are essentially a crime scene. charges have already been laid against some 70 individuals and this number will increase substantially in the weeks and months ahead the department of justice says the crimes being investigated ranged from misdemeanors like trespass to conspiracy sedition and mood. mike hanna al-jazeera washington peter matthews is a professor of political science at cypress college he believes impeachment is

needed to preserve the rule of law in the united states. it looks like about 24 republicans are going to join the democrats tomorrow in the vote and vote for impeachment and they cannot avoid it i mean 24 out of still 0 or a couple of 100 of them still it's a large number of republicans in the in the context and they just they felt that it's important for them to send a message that what president trump did was totally unconscionable illegal unconstitutional and considered insurrection incitement of insurrection and that's what he's being charged with the in the article be appeasement and that's what's going to carry through that's actually republicans are supporting it but of course almost all the democrats are going to vote for it and it will pass my prediction is it will pass tomorrow i think i am peter is extremely important it goes the very foundation of our society and the rule of law principle so we hope that mitch mcconnell will move it forward because he if you get together with chuck schumer the minority leader today the democratic public leaders get together they can call the senate into session right away and they can do address the impeachment and
11:06 am
that's why the rule is should be a trial issue because it doesn't immediately and get it done in the next 5 or 6 days if they wanted to i think that's what should be done now whether it can be done or not it may just drag in the next term when president biden is in office already and hopefully we'll have be able to split the days into 2 parts one does focus on impeachment removal trial and the other part on the policies of the bike once they get through that's what he's hoping to do if it comes to that and u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi has named the team overseeing the 2nd impeachment of president trump thank you jackie and castro house democrat from texas he spoke to steve clemons helis about is there is a bottom line the day after the assault on the capitol. i think that the president has been for weeks now really months. telling his supporters that the election was stolen from him that there was widespread election fraud without providing any evidence of the. right weight media has followed him down that rabbit hole and so

when they got millions of people to believe that then those people started putting pressure on republican and conservative politicians like ted cruz and josh allie and then those guys because of their own political ambitions also stoke the flames in the last few weeks and the result is what we saw yesterday and i just it was an insurrection and a takeover literally of both chambers of the legislative branch of the united states government and now the news e.u.'s federal authorities have executed a woman for the 1st time in almost 70 is judges overturned a stay of execution for lisa montgomery she was convicted of killing a heavily pregnant woman and cutting the baby from a woman in 2004 the child survived on gummies noirs pleaded for kevin say saying the 52 year old was diagnosed with brain damage christina roth is a senior advocate dad amnesty international's criminal justice program in the us she says shortcomings in the justice system can lead to wrongful executions. i
11:08 am
would say the cases that we've seen a subject of federal execution are not much different than those that least you conducted at the state level many of them are the same hallmarks of korra legal representation at the trial phase where lawyers may have neglected to mention important vital information to juries such as traumatic childhoods urged on to find proof of mental or intellectual disabilities of those individuals we continue to see as there still are people on federal death row who are convicted black people who were convicted by all white juries and other challenges that are exactly the same you know folks would like to believe that those on federal death row have committed a unique universe of crimes it bears the exact same irrevocable errors. and l.t. at the state level u.s. secretary of state michael i'm pale has accused iran of sewing as

11:10 am
javad zarif was tweeting in real time as the accusations were being made saying that these are just empty words they are no they don't have any basis in truth and that really the u.s. government should look at their close allies saudi arabia in terms of those responsible for the 911 attacks there is a sense that this accusation not only puts the incoming biden administration in a much more difficult position but also there is much more of a chance now that president trump could possibly. use such this as an excuse for some kind of military action against iran we have been hearing a lot of chatter over the past few weeks about the fact that trump is looked at those options prior to the end of his term this is the latest in an attempt to try and turn issue iran and its reputation when it comes to the international community and for the u.s. to really have more of an excuse to put more pressure on iran. indonesia has

vaccinating. and the reason for that is that there's no indication yet as to when an elderly indonesians will be vaccinated the government says that is not because they are not prioritizing the health of elderly and asians but bother because the food and drug authority here has not yet given authorization for the vaccination to be used for that particular demographic at this stage the only vaccination that is in indonesia is the son of a vaccine developed by a chinese pharmaceuticals manufacturer the indonesian government hopes that by april when it plans to stop vaccinating the general population there will be all the vaccines in the country and by that stage they will be able to allocate those about seein such as the funds of vaccine or astra zeneca to the elderly population . malaysia reported almost 4000 new coronavirus cases on tuesday a record the king has declared a state of emergency at the request of the country's embattled prime minister. says additional powers are needed to stop the surgeon infections but critics say it's an
