it's on the line to. risk it on. an al-jazeera. could get bipartisan write a half demonstrated that no one interviewer from are not even the president of. the house of representatives votes to impeach donald trump for inciting an insurrection making him the 1st us president to be impeached twice. so rahm and you're watching all of 0 live my headquarters here in doha also coming up 10 republicans across the political aisle to support trump's impeachment but most argued that the vote is divisive. this is all about madam speaker the hatred

of this president. there is never a justification for violence no excuses no exceptions trump remain silent on the impeachment put calls on americans to avoid violence a bit concerned about more demonstrations. welcome to the program donald trump has made history by becoming the 1st u.s. president to be impeached twice the house of representatives has formally charged him with inciting an insurrection after capitol hill was overrun by his supporters some who were armed last week the crowd was trying to stop joe by being certified as the next president 5 people were killed in a remarkable result in the howls 10 republicans joined democrats to vote in favor

of the impeachment trumps term ends in a week but democrats say he's unfit to hold office castro has the latest from washington d.c. . the arguments came down to what's more dangerous impeach donald trump again and risk further dividing the country or allow him to remain in office even if it's just for a few days he is capable of starting a civil war he must be impeached he must be stopped now on this though the final vote was 232 to 197 in favor of impeachment and took place in what a week ago was a crime scene that's when a pro trump mob occupied congress in an effort to overturn the presidential election leading to 5 deaths democrats argued this was the shattering of trump's glass house of lies built upon 4 years of racist fear mongering every one of us in

this room right now could have died as senator lindsey graham said the mob could have blown the building up they could have killed all and now the far right is calling for returning gauge mut from january 17th to generate 20 if they're asking the president to pardon the conspirators in last week's rian page as they prepare for a race war. republicans defending the president called the rioters a lunatic fringe rejecting the claim that trump had incited them during a speech moments earlier he was wrong to set such a confrontational tone in a politically tense situation but what did he actually survey his exact words were quote i know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard unquote. that's impeachable but trump also called upon the crowd to march on the capitol to

fight for him then silently watch the riot unfold despite pleas to intervene only later recording a message telling the crowd to go home but that he loved them we love you you're very special a year ago trump was impeached with no republican support this time 10 republicans joined democrats in the vote to impeach last week there was a domestic threat at the door of the capitol and he did nothing to stop it that is why with a heavy heart and clear resolve i will vote yes on these articles of impeachment. a few hours later house speaker nancy pelosi signed the impeachment article today in a bipartisan way the house demonstrated that no one is above the law not even the president of the united states that donald trump is

a clear and present danger to our country. and that once again we are over the office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states in a late video message from the oval office trump did not address his 2nd impeachment and instead asked the country for unity what is needed now is for us to listen to one another not to silence one another all of us can choose by our actions to rise above the rancor and find common ground and shared purpose today i'm calling on all americans to overcome the passions of the moment. and joined together as one american people trust message will not stop this impeachment though from heading to the senate for trial mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader says that will not happen though until after trump leaves office on

january 20th mcconnell is among the senate republicans who've indicated they may be open to convicting trump with the potential consequence of barring him from returning to office. castro al-jazeera washington geoffrey kemp a service is director of political studies at the niskanen center which is a center right think tank but he says donald trump's latest message could have gone further towards restoring calm. i think that donald trump's message day was helpful because it was an explicit disavowal of violence on his behalf one hopes it will contribute toward making inauguration day more peaceful than it might have been otherwise but what we didn't hear from donald trump was a thorough admission that he lost the election to joe biden that joe biden is the duly constituted and legitimate president of the united states and unless and until donald trump actually makes that message explicit and until the republican party

repeats it to his followers the united states the social fabric will continue to be shredded donald trump's supporters do constitute the base of the republican party now it is largely a populist party in his image some of his supporters anger and feeling of disenfranchisement i think is legitimate many of these but i'm from the parts of the country that really have been left behind by globalization the places that are disproportionately subject to job loss from automation from globalization and subject to family dysfunction but their anger at the supposed to steal by the democrats of the 2020 lection is not legitimate and should not be appeased and until they actually come around to believing that joe biden is the legitimate president they can make any number of difficulties for the country as a whole they can selectively choose which laws they choose to obey they might opt not to pay taxes i really it's a recipe for social disaster in division. the u.s.

capitol is very different on its head a week now fences are going up and soldiers are being called in as inauguration moves closer the f.b.i. has police chiefs to be on high alert extremist activity reports from the capitol. many of the people that did this by linley storming the u.s. capitol terrorizing the people inside say this was just the beginning social media post suggesting in the coming days as the presidential inauguration gets closer there will be a repeat in washington d.c. and in state capitals across the country this threat is real it's present and the american public should know that law enforcement is working round the clock to make sure that this threat is checked at bay but if they come this is what they will find as many as 20000 national guard soldiers some armed surrounding federal buildings sleeping in the hallways between shifts a heavy police presence and heavy equipment the top leadership of the military

taking the unprecedented step of sending out this letter to the entire military reminding them they're bound to support and defend the constitution and that joe biden will be the 46th commander in chief and there are renewed calls for people to stay away from the inauguration be taking the unusual step of canceling all d.c. rentals for the event we have asked americans not to come to the washington d.c. event but instead to participate virtually inside the capitol members now ask to pass through metal detectors to enter the chamber several republicans refusing democrats are making serious allegations that some of their political opponents even colluded with the rioters as numbers of congress are coming through the capitol that i saw in january that. are common sense and the next day as members of congress that cited the silent crowd. the leader of one of the groups that was at

the capitol says he has been coordinating with at least 3 members of congress allegations they all deny but in a sign of how polarized this institution has become some members like democrat alexandria ocasio cortez now say they were afraid to shelter with others afraid they would tell the mob where they were i can tell you that i had a very close encounter where i thought i was going to die i did not know if i was going to make it to the end of the game life across the country police are being deployed capital buildings boarded up but former cia agent glenn karl says the u.s. capitol could still be at risk the center of everything is washington. so if you want to make a statement or if you're really angry you want to strike where things are most important going to be your remarks on january 20th this is where joe biden is expected to take the oath of office surrounded by images of a country at war with itself had
