what does and we've been doing with the money is that it's boy we bring you the stories and developments the rapidly changing the world we live in argentina's congress is debating a bill seeking to raise billions of dollars from the super rich poor families hit hard by the counting the cost of al-jazeera. the resolution. without objection the most are reconsider is laid on the table. the u.s. house of representatives votes to call on vice president mike pence to remove donald trump from office but pence has rejected the proposal paving the way for a house vote on trump's impeachment later on wednesday.

you're watching al-jazeera live from doha with me for the bad people also ahead the u.s. federal authorities execute a woman for the 1st time in almost 70 years and indonesia begins a max coronavirus vaccination campaign to curb southeast asia's worst outbreak. the u.s. house of representatives has called on the vice president to remove donald trump from power following the assault on the capital last week it's passed a motion calling on mike pence to act on the 25th amendment that allows for the removal of a president who is incapable of carrying out the duties of office but even before the vote was passed spend said he wouldn't move against trump mike hanna has the latest from washington. their resolution is that upped it without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table ultimately this appeared to be an exercise in 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 january 6th that is

a profound direction of the president's duty. 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 presidents 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 range from misdemeanors like trespass to conspiracy sedition and murder mike hanna al-jazeera washington. and u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi has named the team overseeing the 2nd impeachment of

president thank you a talking casserole a house democrat from texas he spoke to steve clemons the host of al-jazeera is the bottom line the day after the assault on the capital i think that the president has been for weeks now really months. tell his supporters that the election was stolen from 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 take cruz and josh valley 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 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 pregnant woman and cutting the baby from a woman 2004 the child survived montgomery's noya speeded for chem and say saying the 52 year old was diagnosed with brain damage christina roth is a senior advocate at amnesty international's criminal justice program in the u.s. she says shortcomings in the justice system can lead to wrongful executions. i would say the cases that we've seen a subject of federal execution are not much different than those that we see conducted at the state level many of them bear the same hallmarks of korra legal representation at the trial phase where lawyers may have neglected to mention important vital information to charities such as traumatic childhoods earth 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 of death penalty at the state level. security forces in central african republic have repelled in a time by armed groups near the capital bangui this is as post-election violence increases in the country the prime minister says the assault targeted 2 neighborhoods in the capital in an attempt to take the city is believed to be carried out by rebels from the coalition of patriots for change they have been challenging president for. recent elections. u.s. secretary of state michael impales scrapped his final year of trade a trip awake before leaving office u.s. media is reporting the visit was cancelled after european officials declined to

by pompei or but he referred to the secretary of state as somebody who is stupid he didn't go any further than that he said that what the the world is witnessing now is not just a transition of one government to another in the u.s. but rather a fall of the actual system itself. the accusations made by secretary of state my pump aoe were quite shocking to many people here the foreign minister mohammad 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. the pandemic now in indonesia has launched its corner virus you know occupation drive one of the biggest in the world the plan is to vaccinate more than 180000000 people about 2 thirds of the population by march next year present djoko we don't know as a 1st person to be vaccinated he was given the chinese made coronavirus job vaccination of health workers will begin on thursday infections occurred in the averaging more than 9000 a day jessica washington has more on the vaccination campaign from jakarta. the

president said that by being the 1st indonesian outside of trials to be vaccinated he hopes that he can reassure the public who may have some concerns about this vaccine the vaccine has already been distributed across provinces health workers are being prioritized and then public workers including teachers electricity and water maintenance officials and law enforcement as well indonesia's rollout of this vaccine look slightly different while the countries that have already started vaccinating their populations and the reason for that is that there's no indication yet as to when the elderly indonesians will be vaccinated the government says that is not because they are not prioritizing the health of the elderly and nations but bother because the food and drug authority here has not yet given all the recession 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 seen such as the finds a vaccine or astra zeneca to the elderly population. and still ahead on al-jazeera warnings of a catastrophic new wave esk over 1000 infections rise and hospitals in chile. how i we have seen flooding across parts of southeast asia recently with some very very heavy rainfall coming into southern areas caught out around the financial this is the same in southern thailand also affecting a good part of borneo kuching $194.00 millimeters right is the wettest month

a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera if you're just joining us the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution calling on vice president mike pence to remove donald trump from office but pence has refused to act against the president baiting the way for a house vote on trump's impeachment later on wednesday u.s. federal authorities have executed a woman for the 1st time in almost 17 years lisa montgomery was convicted of killing a heavily pregnant woman and cutting the baby from the child survived to montgomery's noir speeded for clemency saying the 52 year old was diagnosed with brain damage and indonesia has launched its coronavirus inoculation drive one of the largest in the world the plan is to vaccinate more than 180000000 people by march of next year . and more now on the pandemic and u.s. hospitals are being overwhelmed in cases of covert 19 are so it has just recorded its worst day for deaths yet nearly 4500 and more than 200000 cases but as rob

reynolds reports from the sanjay this doctor's fear there's worse to come. at one of los angeles's largest hospitals culvert 19 patients are packed floor to a room with only one nurse to care for them waiting rooms have become treatment centers nearby multiple hospital staff reposition patients so they can pull enough oxygen into their lungs it's likely to get worse going to see another huge surge upon surge it'll happen in the next $7.00 to $10.00 days some are describing it as a viral tsunami across the u.s. more than 100000 people have been hospitalized with cold and for the past 40 days in a row across the country mass vaccination centers are being set up including at disneyland and dodger stadium in southern california at a sports comp. lexx near fort worth texas and of football stadium outside of boston massachusetts plans to start out doing $300.00 vaccines for day but it's going to

the gorillas tested positive after they began coughing officials believe an asymptomatic do staff or unwittingly gave them the virus they're doing ok they're experiencing some mild symptoms and we continue to observe them but they're drinking they're eating and they're interacting with one another zeus veterinarians expect the gorillas to make a full recovery but more than 376000 americans have now died from cope with 19 robert oulds 0 los angeles and latin america continues to experience a surge in covert 19 infections from china to brazil to peru many hospitals and near collapse mexico reported more than 14000 new cases on tuesday in chile health experts are warning of a catastrophic 2nd wave a lot america is in a sea of newman has moved from santa. that felicitous no stopping the spread shortly after signing a decree chilean president sebastian pinera and his wife were ordered into

a mandatory 14 day quarantine after being notified that a member of their domestic staff had tested positive to cold 19 in the middle of the hot summer holiday season infections in chile have increased 35 percent in just one week forcing authorities to declare widespread lockdowns and if restrictions on movement and travel health experts are warning of a catastrophe of infection surpass 9000 a day and with just a little less than half that number right now hospitals are already reaching their maximum capacity. in neighboring peru intensive care units have already reached it . mall. unfortunately we do not have the capacity to take care of all patients because those who enter the i.c.u. often leave in weeks months or. infections past the 1000000 mark this week health workers have planned

a nationwide strike arguing they can't continue working under current conditions this despite some rare positive news from the president or the latter guys complain because he knew wouldn't negotiate your knees after lengthy and difficult negotiations which were frustrating at times i can amounts to you that we have completed the purchase of the 1st batch of the expected pandemic vaccine. but throughout latin america vaccines will take months if not longer to make a difference. freshly dug graves in the capital of brazil's amazonas state illustrate that the health system is on the verge of collapse and the still wish for the most elite to cup us and we are at the limit of our i.c.u. capacity and with the girl clinics we are beating all international records and these areas. some blame a new more contagious strain of corona. which through vicious 2nd wave. after the 1st wave that in fact has never really ended you see in human culture 0

santiago. in the u.k. people found breaking the rules on coronavirus restrictions will face have to find a british government has ordered police to break up more gatherings all bran and reports from richmond in southwest london the intervention of britain's most senior police officer into the discussion about corona virus or sections comes at a critical time just 24 hours after the chief medical officer pointed out that we were perhaps entering in the u.k. the darkest period of this pandemic dame chris addict the metropolitan police commissioner talking about parties house parties raves in railway arches and gambling parties as well in clear defiance of the restrictions that are in place it was preposterous she said that anybody can pretend to be unaware of the need for restrictions given the state of the current pandemic now here in richmond the infection rate is remarkably low around $245.00 cases per 100000 but that said

we've been out asking people exactly how corrosive it is to see other people breaking the rules how much does their behavior impact your behavior. i think it's quite irresponsible if you want more honest opinion on it. there's plenty trying to party as paint plenty time to see your friends and socialize and if the government asking you at this moment in time to to to. a distance and be compliant i think it's a small thing to to ask and to do i think is an impossible situation i don't think we have a race particularly in richmond. but if you're young you you probably don't think it applies to you a few people breaking those rules and then impacting on a lengthy lockdown for the rest of us that are trying desperately to abide by them is a severely damaging. in fact despite headlines of illegal raves and illegal

gatherings compliance with the coronavirus restrictions here in the u.k. is actually pretty high that said the police is move from engagement with gatherings to enforcement of fines and penalties is fraught with potential difficulties there's the resourcing issue for a start are there simply enough police officers in order to do that job and 2nd of all is the sometimes confusion between what our guidelines and what are actual laws that said the government is extremely worried about the way the infection rate is going the data is very bad indeed and as the policing minister has said there may be more restrictions coming down the line with the police and the government on tenterhooks. hundreds of suspected members of the crime syndicate are being put on trial in italy the charge sheet includes murder extortion money laundering and drug

trafficking the trial is being held in the southern region of calabria from where the gang originates the drug is one of the most powerful mafia like organizations in italy it's been around since the 18 hundreds and is believed it makes up upwards of $16000000000.00 a year the drug has expanded beyond its lee and is known for moving narcotics money laundering and extortion now $355.00 suspected members are on trial with various charges against them from med a to drug trafficking that considered so dangerous that a fortified courthouse has been built to host a trial live to our jazeera stephanie deca in rome for more on this so quite the spectacle stephanie what are we expecting today. absolutely it is quite dramatic particularly when you see the larger converted call center and there are cages built for the just over 350 defendants these are lawyers

a politician and policeman that are accused of having ties or being active members of the that which these days is really seen to those if you ask people who follow the organized crime syndicates as the biggest the most powerful also the most violent really in charge mostly running the majority of the cocaine cartels in europe very close links also to the latin american cartels so what do we expect will we expect this not to be a quick quick trial fully it's going to take up to 2 years there are 900 witnesses of course speaking out against the mafia is something that is very dangerous this is a violent crime syndicate there are repercussions even just last week in the headlines we had news of a woman who was killed and fed to the pigs because she refused to sell her land or when it comes to speaking against the mafia there's something called almost side it's very taken very seriously indeed but there are wiretaps so i think very interesting certainly when it comes to the details of the intricate workings of the mafia that will be coming out over the next months and over 3 more years and i

think the main prosecutor summed it up pretty well saying that you know this is a mafia that looks like us of course everyone is fascinated by the mafia for the particular i think foreigners there's movies made about them but i think you know it is such an entrenched criminal organization with such power all across the world that i think it'll be interesting certainly even just to see the details of how they operate coming out and fact any do do potential convictions have a significant effect on the operations of them drank it. i think in a summary that's going to be a no i mean this trial is focusing on one particular family the monk family. is a criminal organization that you can cool is run by a family dynasties which is why it's also very difficult to infiltrate but certainly you know if there are convictions when it comes to this particular family and their associations there are far more powerful families within than going to that can continue to operate also you've had cases very often the case with all of

these criminal syndicates where you have people in jail but still running their operations very successfully from behind prison walls so i think we're not going to see certainly even a dent in the operations of the organization but certainly it is something that shows even as the prosecutor said people are starting to talk or starting to have a little bit more confidence in the legal system but certainly if it's going to have any impact on stopping or changing the nature of the organization i think people will tell you that have been watching these syndicates over the years that that's unlikely 70 deca in rome think you ugandans will vote on any election in which president joe erema 70 seeking a 6th term in power and has been using the full weight of state security including the army to crack down on his opponents catherine sawyer reports some companies. a more cigar was by the towels as he was killed by soldiers during protests in the

a key to tao says she is closing her shop and moving out of kampala until she can be sure how only daughter will be safe there and she says she has no intention of voting in an election she blames for her son's death catherine sawyer al-jazeera kampala more on this and other stories we're covering on al-jazeera on our website at al-jazeera dot com the very latest on all of our top stories on there al jazeera dot com. hello again i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al-jazeera the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution calling on vice president mike pence to remove donald trump from office ahead of the vote fence already said he would refuse to act against the president so this now paves the way for a house vote on impeachment later on wednesday and u.s.
