chuck schumer says he expects trump to receive a full and fair trial republicans wanted to delay impeachment proceedings until february to give trump time to prepare. i've spoken to speaker pelosi who informed me that the articles will be delivered to the senate on monday now i've heard some of my republican colleagues argue that this trial would be unconstitutional because donald trump is no longer in office an argument that has been roundly repudiated debunked by hundreds of constitutional scholars left right and center and defies basic common sense it makes no sense whatsoever that a president or any official could commit a heinous crime against our country and then be permitted to resign so as to avoid accountability and a vote to disbar them from future office makes no sense but senate minority leader mitch mcconnell maintains a delay to the start of the child will help ensure due process for trump those from

patient began with an unprecedented life and minimal process over and of this legal cannot be an insufficient senate process that did not former president tried to due process or damages the sunnah or the presidency it fell short of republican strongly believe a native call and fair process for the former president can mount out of town. and the senate can properly consider the factual legal and constitutional questions. for that reason. we should just admit that the article. currently going to be. the capital for us heidi just talk us through the timeline no 4 is likely to happen next. rob we know from the house majority leader chuck schumer that the house plans to transmit this article of impeachment on monday that

kicks off the beginning of the impeachment trial of former president donald trump what will 1st see and fold are those ceremonial elements it'll be really whiplash from last year around the same time during the 1st impeachment trial will see that article marched across the capitol rotunda read aloud before the full senate on pain of prison meant for those senators to maintain their silence you'll see that house managers who will be the prosecutors in this trial presented and soon afterwards perhaps that day or the next the senators will be sworn in along with who likely the chief justice of the u.s. supreme court to oversee the trial now the current senate rules say that within a day of though that article being transmitted the senate must begin considering that article however if special rules are passed and that is in discussion that

timeline may change just for a bit of context during that 1st trump impeachment trial it was exactly one week from the time the articles were transmitted to when oral arguments began in that 1st trial now mitch mcconnell the senate minority leader has been pushing for a slight delay as you heard it's a matter of mere days really he's arguing that the trump's team needs time his legal team needs more time to get their argument together it's notable that those a list of lawyers who represented trump in the 1st impeachment they're no longer on his team as. former president and democrats including chuck schumer have promised a full and fair trial but what that will look like is still much to be determined whether or not there will be witnesses or evidence or how long the trial will go but what is notable rob is if you think about it the witnesses will be those $100.00 senators who are sitting in that room also serving as jurors because it was

of course those very senators who had to evacuate hide. run for their lives in a sense when that violent mob on january 6th stormed the capitol trying to stop them from certifying the election results and as part of the backdrop to all of this we're hearing the democrats are applauding calling for ethics investigations into senators ted cruz and george sholay related to the events of junger the 6 what more do we know about. right in those 2 republican senators are the 2 in question because they objected to certifying the electoral results even even after after the the rioting happened on january 6th and now 7 democrats in the senate have have filed ethics complaint against holly and against cruz saying that by objecting they lent legitimacy to the violence that

occurred they're asking for an investigation to determine exactly what role the 2 senators played in that violent storming of the capitol and they're asking for disciplinary action if warranted this is happening to even as we're seeing of course those metal detectors set up now in front of the house chambers that wasn't there prior to january 6th and yesterday republican congressman andy harris of maryland try to walk past that medical to the metal detector rather than on to the house floor while he was. carrying a gun that is never been legal to carry a weapon onto the house floor he was stopped he was asked to leave at that point and democrats are outraged they say they feel threatened and we know that capitol police is now investigating that incident and so did your custer bring yourself

today from capitol hill heidi thank you all bruce fein is a us constitutional lawyer and he explains how the impeachment trial is likely to be playing odd since trump is no longer in office. we have this unique situation where the defendant is not the president anymore and it's unclear whether the president will whether chief justice john roberts will be the presiding officer i think his presence certainly offers and justified air of gravity and solemnity to the decision really this impeachment trial is about whether mr trump will run for president again in $22041.00 of the punishments authorized by the constitution for conviction on pietschmann is disqualification from holding future office and that's a momentous decision to be made and ought to be made with the solemnity of gravity but really it's up to the senate now to decide by majority vote you know how

swiftly to proceed amidst mcconnell the former majority leader said he wants 21 days it's because mr trump is so desperate and he doesn't have real lawyers to defend him the trial will proceed not waiting 21 days they will decide how many witnesses if at all to call the length of the arguments permitted to both sides the length of cross-examination my own view is that it ought to be longer rather than shorter there's no need to rush this and it's wrong to think that the american people should not have their own ability firsthand here witnesses vive people to hear the what i consider the very wicked and frightening storming of the capitol including those who participated who said they were acting on the orders of president trump. well in the coming i was u.s. president joe biden is going to sign executive orders to help those struggling to feed their families or find a job but because of the pandemic that says he targets the economy on a 2nd full day in office the orders are

a temporary means of financial relief before congress considers his $1.00 trillion dollars stimulus package biden said his pandemic response plan in motion of thursday with several executive orders on wearing masks and quarantine for international travelers let's go live to mike hanna in washington d.c. quite clearly the biden administration focusing again on covert as we were just saying but this time the impact of the of coverage on the economy what more do we know about the bills that he's been signing. well he's done a whole slew of this be executive orders in terms of combating the pandemic and now he's attempting to introduce some orders combating the effects of the pandemic on the american public these orders contain we understand things like a minimum wage of $15.00 an hour for federal contract workers essentially building up feeding schemes for 'd the underprivileged within the

country and also articles like for example providing food assistance in food grants to children who are studying virtually because the schools are closed a 15 percent increase in these food programs so there's a whole slew of aspects including to add protections for workers who are threatened with losing their jobs if they refuse to work for example during a covert period so he is now dealing with the effects now these are holding measures until he can get his overarching massive $1.00 trillion dollar coronavirus relief bill through congress might we're also hearing of course a lot about joe biden's cabinet appointees and that confirmation process that is going through at the moment just talk us through what we know about that. well the most significant appointment has come in the course of the borning and that is

lloyd austin as the new secretary of defense why it's significant well he's the 1st african-american to hold this position and there's a real statistic here that is quite astounding that some 42 percent of american armed forces are people of color about only 2 out of 414 star generals and admirals are in fact black so this is a very significant appointment by joe biden signaling very clearly his desire to address racial disparity not only in the armed forces but throughout the country as a whole so this is a very very important appointment and what's notable too is the fact that it was a massively bipartisan vote in the senate joe 'd biden has just signed the waiver which congress passed lloyd austin only retired listen 7 years ago so you required a special waiver president biden has just signed that waiver now mike thanks very much indeed that's mike hanna bringing us up to date from washington d.c.

which advice is a security analyst and what he's trying to it's a global risk consultancy group and he's joining us from washington d.c. by skype it's good to have you with us on all jazeera are we going to see much of a change do you think from the trumpet ministrations defense policies. from the answer is that now secretary austin gave no he basically reaffirmed the main contours of policy the for the obama and trump years there was a slight emphasis more on rooting out domestic extremism within the military and addressing sexual harassment and a few other issues but basically he reify the policy of strengthening american defenses keep in the fence budget robust building up u.s. nuclear forces well it remains to negotiations with other countries and so on so i didn't detect a major shift in u.s.

defense policy from what we've seen since pretty much the last dozen years or so i'm just looking at. tendering for today in a party he's going to be speaking to the nato secretary general jens stoltenberg at 3 45 pm i'm assuming that's eastern time and about half an hour later 50 minutes later he's getting briefings about china and the middle east is an interesting one isn't it because he's inheriting poor u.s. relations with nato he's got a possible reframing of the u.s. his relationship with the gulf countries plus the troop drawdowns that you mentioned before what do you think his priorities are going to be over the next few months. well he could one urgent priority is to ensure full staffing of the defense department as you know in the u.s. we have trying to extend to transition every time his new president and that requires showing dozens of keep his actions within a defense department they've started that already and he indicated several times

that he needs to go deeper into the budget to find out precisely what the programs are to trim and what the priorities should be he did emphasize the importance of strengthening the u.s. defense posture in east asia but also europe and the middle east so he's probably going to build on is extensive experience within the army and the middle east to learn perhaps more about other forces and other locations it could be argued that the stuff that the department of defense after 4 years need some stability do you think in the brief amount of time that we have seen that lloyd austin in public do you get the sense that they're going to get that with him yes the u.s. government over the last 2 years has seen extensive turnover not only in the defense department but in many positions and my impression is that biden team wants

to end that in defense department and elsewhere secretary austin indicated that he seem to indicate for example and is reputed himself from many business deals with raytheon for 4 years that he plans to stay the full term and i think that's true with the other people they're fighting. which is as we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed for joining us on syria. thank you for having me. but he went ahead in the news hour including the gay news must go along japan's prime minister dismisses talk of council in the olympics and says they'll be proof the world has overcome coronavirus. but of the latest on gold miners in china who've been trapped underground for 12 days. and manchester city's premier league on visions to go ahead as one of their star players suffers an injury blow. for the british prime minister says there's evidence the coronavirus variant

circulating in the u.k. is not only more contain just but potentially more deadly the news comes just as britain appeared to be making headway infection rates have started dropping by a around 4 percent per day we've been informed today that in addition to spreading movements the coronavirus variant circulating in the u.k. is not only more contain just but potentially more deadly the news comes just as britain appeared to be making headway infection rates have started dropping by a around 4 percent per day. we've been informed today that in addition to spreading more quickly it also appears there is some evidence that the new variant varian that was 1st identified in london in the scythe east may be associated with a higher degree of mortality on a voc is joining us live via skype from london it seems in the u.k.

at the moment that it's one step forward and 2 steps back what else has boris been johnson and johnson been talking about during that press conference. well we've known for some time that the new u.k. very into of the virus is between 30 and 70 percent more transmissible but what we now and where according to the chief medical and chief scientific and offices is that it has also led to an increased mortality rate as well so the example given was that for an average 60 year old man you can expect roughly about 10 deaths for every 1000 people infected when it comes to the new u.k. variant that number goes up to between 13 and 14 or so all of that's having an increased effect on the number of people being admitting to hospital and also the significant mortality rate we've seen the death toll of over a 1000 people a day for 4 days over the past 24 hour period 1401 so very

high indeed with the scientists seem more concerned about the other 2 strains the south african strain and also the brazilian strain over some concerns that they may not be receptive to existing coded vaccines they know that the u.k. variants can be treated but these other 2 they may be some problem so concerns that have been raised about people arriving into the country from these infected areas and what would happen given that numbers are already very high if these particular strain started to take off within the population to i'm seeing just on the wires here that the world health organization director of immunization kate o'brian is saying it's too early to know about effectiveness of vaccines against a variance but there isn't that the other side of the w.h.o. is saying that it has reached agreement pfizer for $40000000.00 doses of its vaccine against covered 19 and of course that's going to get wrapped up into the kovacs program what more do we know about that deal and that going forward how's

that going to be rolled out. or just of i'm sure my people the kovacs scheme is the w.h.o. world health organization international vaccine sharing scheme now an awful lot of attention has been focused on how western economies are dealing with the rollout of their respective vaccines but let's not forget that a huge number of countries around the world many of the developing economies need an awful lot of help so what we've now heard from the united states with the change of the administration there is that america has now joined this kovacs scheme and that the u.s. pharmaceutical giant pfizer has said that it will provide 40000000 doses of its vaccine to that scheme we know that roughly 190 or so developing economies in the world are eligible for kovacs the hope is that those who desperately need it will have access to the vaccine within the 1st 6 or 7 months of this year let's not forget this is a global effort that we are in through this until the vast majority of the global

population has at least one dose of. it and i'm just saying as well that apparently the w.h.o. was assistant director general is saying the 2 chinese covert 1000 vaccine son of a concern of farm are going to be assessed next 2 week leave thank you very much indeed. in germany the number of people who have died from the virus has exceeded 50000 chance that i'm going to call is defending the decision to extend the lockdown until mid february she says it will be unwise to ease restrictions because the virus mutations have been found in germany the country's been in lockdown since november the international olympic committee has joined the japanese government in rejecting reports the tokyo games are going to be canceled victoria gave me reports . the olympic games jewel to be held last year but were delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic now a rise in infections has forced the government to impose a state of emergency in tokyo and other parts of the country and that's raise

questions about whether the summer games will be held in 6 months as planned newspaper reports that pans government has privately concluded the games will have to be reshaped jeweled have been denied by the prime minister going to regarding the tokyo games it will be a symbol of humanity overcoming the novel coronavirus and the chance to showcase japan's reconstruction from the devastating northeastern earthquake and tsunami to the world we will be well prepared on the measures for the infection. japan has spent $25000000000.00 preparing for the taking of a lympics based of which is public money but a recent poll shows 80 percent of japanese people don't want the games to go ahead this summer. even if japan was able to curb the coronavirus i don't think we can welcome athletes considering the current situation it should be cancelled the money we spend on the game should be used for anti virus measures and stated my. 80

percent i want the olympics to get a hat but the other 20 percent i wonder what would happen to japan if it was cancelled when i read it going through a lot. analytics has been cancelled only 5 times before in war time a final decision on whether to hold the games this year or not is expected in early spring i think the date to watch is march 25th that's when the charge really begins for northern japan 4 months 10000 runners crossing the country arriving there will enjoy 23rd in tokyo it would seem absurd to start the torch relay and then have to have no olympics the international olympic committee make 75 percent of its income from selling broadcast rights of the olympics if is cancelled it could lose an estimated $2.00 to $3000000000.00 of revenue victoria gave him be al-jazeera google has threatened to make a search engine unavailable in the strain over plans by the government to make tech

conditions as you probably never know in syria turned miserable well full cost wise they are improving the studies at the temples will slowly rise the consequence of what happened is as this system went through and has gone if we picked up something of a strong wind dancer bahrain qatar u.a.e. which brought dust storm with it the breeze is still there saturday and sunday but it is weakening somewhat and you'll notice nothing much has changed in syria or in iraq except the sun is still out in the champions slightly harder what's on the ground by the wet muddy weather is still on the ground. significant weather once again in the form of a tropical psycho has come across gone across madagascar and it's on its way to mozambique now it's just been upgraded to a severe tropical storm that's based on the wind strength that wind is probably the bit on the conservative side it could get up to 130 kilometers from about tar it makes landfall which will be within about 18 hours somewhere near berna i remember

monday republicans wanted to delay impeachment proceedings until february to give trump time to prepare. the u.s. senate's confirmed lloyd austin is the defense chief who becomes the 1st african-american to be secretary of defense. the british prime minister barak's johnson says there is evidence the new coronavirus variant circulating in the u.k. is not only more contagious but potentially more deadly that news comes as infection rates of started dropping by around 4 percent per day. the u.s. democrats have sent a request to joe biden's new intelligence chief to declassify a report into the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi senator adam schiff the chairman of the house intelligence committee has tweeted a letter asking for the report to be released it says the murder in the saudi consulate in istanbul was an assault on human rights let's go to mike hanna in washington d.c. mike what is adam schiff been saying. well basically he's

reiterating a request that was made by congress indeed a demand that was made by congress way back in the months soft g.'s murder in the congress sent a demand to the trumpet ministration asking for the report on his killing to be declassified and presented to congress the deadline was put on that request january last year president trump simply ignored the request of the deadline passed president trump insisted that whether or not the saudi arabia was in part responsible or specifically the crown prince of saudi arabia was responsible he regarded the matter as closed now on tuesday the new director of national intelligence every hain held or even hearing in the senate she was our style rickly where the she would declassify the report and jamal khashoggi is murder she replied i will follow the law so the indication is that the director of national into intelligence would consider declassifying the contents of the report to congress

the issue that we do not know at this particular stage we may not learn more within the coming hours is what is the white house's position on the matter we do know from what has been said in the early days of the biden administration that it's reviewing its relationship with saudi arabia very closely it has expressed concern about the ongoing bombing in yemen it has said that it will no longer supply weapons for such actions so we are going to wait and see in the hours ahead what the white house position is but we do know from what the director of national intelligence a said that this report may well be provided to congress as demanded now formally by the majority leader in the senate mike thanks very much indeed my kind of bring us up to date from washington d.c. . the united nations refugee agency says the number of people displaced from violence in africa's sahara region continues to rise and has now surpassed 2000000

it's warning the humanitarian effort is dangerously overstretched and urged more countries to help and work in a fossil chad mali and millions of flood attacks by armed groups that's including by both boko haram and others linked to eisele and al qaida. during this clue is the spokesperson for western central africa at the united nations refugee agency he's joining us from dakar in senegal by skype is very good to have you with us here on al-jazeera thank you very much indeed the scale of this problem is extraordinary and one gets the impression that to a certain extent over the last few months it's been sidelined by other considerations say in yemen and in central african republic for example indeed and certainly crisis and it's really made a. point topical it remains on the top of the agenda at least in the units only

$2000000.00 in the. country that's a sad record that's a green reality you just will numbers here we're talking. what are all the numbers that it was 2 years ago and that's because of the unrelenting attacks bootle moves them on civilians people are being forced to flee. mall and they're not just the clothes on the back. and they're sitting in their own country they're receiving support from their local communities or themselves stretch and it's a tragedy and here we talking about 2000000 internally displaced people on top of that you have over 850 silos and refugees people who. crises and cross the border to neighboring countries so host communities are of a stretch and you know. we're just as you're speaking seeing some pictures of some of the people that that you're referring to and those pictures show many people. told that they're out of book you know fossil particularly and they're crammed

together and of course we're in a time of cover $1000.00 that has clearly got to be a consideration but the the conditions that they're living in seem fairly impoverished just talk me through the kind of things that your teams are seeing on the ground and having to deal with on a daily basis other teams on the ground in her even gruesome testimony spiegel sling attacks telling that they fled the middle of the night on groups that were shooting around that does a lot. section virus writers tell us about opening at night walking 3540 kilometers on so that. when they arrive then it's shelter because wherever they go the host communities don't have enough space to hold some other people to be in even water they need food they need burn a city's court sentients they also need to have access to health. as you mentioned could be 1000 adds an extra layer to this very complex crises when you have all the

crowded camps and sites where you and difficult to maintain social distance so here on top of all the burn sensual the core element that people need need to ensure that we have water and sanitation early and meant a little section against that but then. the united nations refugee agency as we mentioned before is warning that the efforts to overstretched it's urging more countries to help unfortunately this is a refrain that we hear far too often that including companies countries simply not volunteering any helps cut some countries do volunteer help and then subsequently don't come up the cat with the cash or the logistics to support it how frustrating is it for you and your teams who are trying to cope with this on the ground we have to say what we're seeing is a tremendous generosity from the countries in the region themselves countries a lot of the poorest the least developed and yet the other ones welcoming 2000000

people fall to sleep when the host communities are themselves facing the same limited infrastructure sums of helps them that they do geisha and access to my being so human you know having a lot of positives. and and yes we need the international community to gauge support the overall humanitarian response so that we can show those who actually responsibility and generosity that supporting people forcibly is everybody job and we get to help and we're seeing tremendous generosity you mentioned looking at france and earlier this this year just a few weeks ago you have insulted people lead a village in the north and the country this let's 2 ways where you can which is certified limiters away and yet you have local come to you have welcomed hundreds of them a little food they had a little water and provided shelter that's encouraging and that's what we need to show me but we need all. the generosity of those welcoming the people forced

a possible potential attempt to take the city they've said that the government of president fast into a day or must go now the presidential spokesperson has said that the reason for the state of emergency or one of the reasons is that it will enable the security forces here to do searches from house to house to try and find these hidden weapons normally would require a warrant from a cotton according to the constitution so by suspending those constitutional rights it gives the security agencies the power to search for the weapons that they want to find to try and prevent that rebel attack and try and keep control. of their fragile grip on power in the country there head of the peacekeeping force here acronym. was just on thursday are asking for more troops from the security council he said that they're desperately needed to try and maintain security across the country just within the last few days or one day and the burundian peacekeeper of
