unconstitutional to prosecute a president after leaving office house impeachment managers will now have 16 hour spread over the next 2 days to present their cases a 2 thirds majority is required to convict trump of inciting insurrection people died that day officers ended up with head damage and brain damage people's eyes were. off for a heart attack officer lost 3 fingers that day 2 officers have taken their own lives senators this cannot be our future this cannot be the future of america we cannot have presidents inciting and mobilizing mob violence against our government with this trial you will open up new and bigger wounds across the nation for

a great many americans see this process for exactly what it is a chance by a group of partisan politicians seeking to eliminate donald trump from the american political scene. a white house correspondent kimberly how could a standing by for us. on capitol hill heidi what's due to happen today. adrian today is the 1st opening arguments if you will of the impeachment managers to lay out this case accusing former president donald trump of inciting insurrection they are ready for senators to sit through a graphic video that forced them to relive the events of january 6th and today they'll likely focus on what led to that ultimate climax starting in the summer prior to the election when former president said to reporters that he would not commit to a peaceful transfer of power then of course election night itself when he refused

to concede starting to spread the lie from that moment that it was he who had won the presidential election then of course the dozens of lawsuits that were supported by him and by his attorneys alleging election fraud all of which were tossed out of courts or dismissed or rejected because they lacked merit notably even the u.s. supreme court decided to toss out the case alleging election fraud and despite that trump continued to say day after day that the stop the election had been stolen from him where does that all lead the impeachment managers will argue that that left trumps supporters to reach only one conclusion being that they had no other recourse other than to take matters into their own hands leading to the violence of january 6th that also argue that then the president trumps words in the speech directly perceiving the riot in which he told his supporters to march to the

capitals to fight like hell they say that is akin to throwing the match that finally lit the pile of kindling that the former president had spent months amassing. leading to the violence here on january 6th of course those will be the arguments from the prosecution side from the democrats laid out over these next 2 days before it is then trump's attorneys turn to defend him and they will likely say as laid out in their trial briefs that the 1st amendment protects the former president's words that he had a right to complain about the election results just like any other private citizen american and the likely rehash what we heard yesterday the argument that this trial is unconstitutional you may think that our vet has already been addressed when a simple majority in the senate disagreed so this was constitutional and that it should go forward however remember for conviction in its 2 thirds majority in the senate and that argument of unconstitutionality may be powerful enough

a couple with the rest of the defense of the former president to convince senators to acquit why did joe castro lie 1st on capitol hill let's bring in our white house correspondent then. kimberly amidst all this drama the president heads to the pentagon today what's he doing. well he's trying to show that he is focused on the work of the american people and not on the antics of a president from the past so what he'll be doing is going meeting with the senior military leadership at the pentagon as well as civilian leaders he'll also be honoring those service members of color which make up 40 percent of the u.s. military now i'm like the state department visit last week by the u.s. president this is not expected to have major policy announcements instead this is really going to be a good will visit where he will have the opportunity to go to the pentagon for the 1st time he's been there many times but never as commander in chief so this is

personal we're told for the president as well because he is a military father he's really trying to focus on the policy goals and to that end he may touch on how there will be the work of the military in distributing the vaccine moving forward because he said very clearly as reporters have repeatedly asked him about this impeachment trial and capitol hill he has repeatedly asked cert that what his job is is to focus on saving lives their 450000 americans who have died as a result of this pandemic he says unless the senate do its job he's focused on his job and so he won't be opining is not a pundit instead he is a president a white house correspondent kelly how could better live up to the white house in washington many thanks indeed to a committee frank bowman is a former deputy district attorney attorney rather than his currently professor at the university of missouri school of law he joins us now via skype from columbia missouri could have you with us frank after the hard hitting 13 minute video we saw

yesterday what are you expecting from the impeachment managers today. well we don't know exactly but i expect that they're going to be using more video more visuals in order to to focus the senate's attention on not only the motional impact of what happened on january the 6th but i think also they're going to work very hard to to weave a merit to. what your correspondent already suggested a narrative beginning even before the november for 2020 election running all the way up to the culminating events of january the 6th i don't expect there are going to be any live witnesses at least at this point it doesn't appear to be the case but instead i think they're going to treat this in something that a way that the way that a documentary filmmaker might that is to say trying to take

a disjointed and confusing and a lengthy series of events and weave them together into a comprehensive narrative all of it leading to the conclusion that the attack on the capital was the direct responsibility of mr trump is anything they say that anything they are going to be enough to win over enough republicans to convict the president. well except that you we have to say that that's unlikely not because the arguments won't be convincing not because mr trump did not engage in behavior which . i have any even moderately serious constitutional scholar would agree has a high crime in this demeanor but simply because enough republicans are making the political calculation that it's an improvement for them to alienate the trump supporting base which is to a large extent their base their opting for safety and a personal political safety over no judgment and frankly over constitutional

responsibility and up to yesterday's mixed performance what do you think how do you think trump's lawyer as a going to play things when they get the chance to make their case. well anybody's guess there because calling their performance mixed is charitable it was really absolutely dreadful now in their defense of course as your viewers may know mr trump fired his previous team of lawyers because for whatever reason and these fellows didn't come on board to all just over a week before the trial and trying to undertake a case of this size and consequence and you know week challenge to the best lawyers but no the performance we saw was really dreadful he was disjointed it it really accomplish very little i think. it's really hard to say but i think it is probably true as again your correspondent noted that there are there are likely to focus on

the come on arguments like jurisdiction that really don't require them to defend the president's conduct very much i expect they're also going to ring the 1st amendment bell again try to claim that somehow or other. as they did yesterday that. you know that mr trump had has some sort of 1st amendment right to to incite mobs he doesn't but i think that's the another fig leaf that they're going to try to to to raise up good to talk to frank many thanks again for being with us frank bowman that in columbia missouri. protests as of return to the streets for a 5th consecutive day calling for their elected leaders to be freed and for the military to step down following last week's coup the army side said election fraud is the reason for the takeover scott hides the reports now from bangkok.

a day after a violent crackdown by security forces people are again protesting against the coup on the streets of myanmar. in yangon some took to bicycles to show their support for the growing civil disobedience movement. some gathered at the japanese embassy to elevate their plight to the international community. a message wall was also set up for people to leave their comments and thoughts about the coup last week and in mandalay they came out on motorbikes and on foot earlier in the week here protesters were injured by water cannon blasts and dozens were arrested. more groups and unions have joined the growing movement including civil servants in the capital neighbor dorm they're all calling for the return to democracy and the release of their elected leaders including on song suchi. students and young people are emerging as critical players in the protests many see their future at stake and was so much on the line they're willing to put themselves in harm's way i'll tell

the god i know not those students are going to struggle under the military dictatorship that's why we're here on the streets giving our life to get our democracy back. she's not alone this young protesters taking part in a poster campaign supporting the civil disobedience movement going on when i'm here with all these people i'm not scared i have no shia touring and. the un representative in myanmar has called the security services use of force against the protesters disproportionate and unacceptable the united states said it's reviewing assistance to me and mark again called on the junta to step down we repeat our calls for the military to relinquish power restore democratically elected government release those detained and list all telecommunication restrictions so while the younger generations in myanmar are taking bold and risky steps to get involved with the protests by insisting on access to social media they're putting their own twist on scott toddler al-jazeera. ali fall as one of the few western

journalists to be based in may and now she has more now from the angle. the guy just had a. brilliant people have in the stuff you're downtown and i'm excited to follow the stance on the thing. to do all the bugs the way thank the good. and so people have been sent to get the piece thinking they've been chanting kinky at people yet me which means people believe that's wrong to encourage the police to just rip them to join with the people in this protest movement i'm not surprised. that it was love the us a military would see the balconies that's a little bit more worrying people generally the atmosphere was we were pretty

jubilant today but singing we've had people playing music. but that being a lot old helmets or guns i think people wearing a costume protective equipment and gear of some sort of crowd i'm sure there was brutal war to come out of the family of rugby if they did decide to. leave. the now but if they add to the day. and leave the content. of the moron. this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program unfolding humanitarian disaster in ethiopia is to greater region we'll speak to the head of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. some promising results out of israel as one vaccine appears to dramatically hoff's the whole swathe of the spread of coronavirus even after one dose plus. the richardson it be club world cup cats. are in sight of unique trophy sweet secrets

of mexico in style. if you peons in the conflict to gray region a dying of starvation according to the red cross almost 4000000 people there and in it are in need of humanitarian assistance but roughly 80 percent of the region is inaccessible to aid workers the government has been criticized for preventing outside access to t. gray months into the conflict the region was struggling with food insecurity from drought and crop damage even before fighting began joining us now from out his alibi is francesco rocha president of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies the fossey could have you with us tell us more about the situation in tikrit right now. to see which one of the most if you will they have us here not it we did the people there is me she almost everything got.

let me start to. speak outside to see your gaze only for all speed also walking. in the region not and. even these 4 are a little foci locking everything that magazines drive but they can not. be. golden days surgeries because they are missing a or diminishing not needed for a piece loss food loss at the security plus the violence. plus of course hundreds of thousands of like you. wanted a 50000 soft and not ira already in this you'll likely have been i'm not glad i met some of them i visit to a hospital stay where boats all speak out empty because they where maybe seats and rocks so the situation is very very difficult and they have their.

shot really well as day. aggression. and get past weeks and months at all they have facilities most of they had facilities and i've got an idea where to duck and this is something i'm not set up or once again not i didn't want to guess at facilities must be protected they have not backed up the conflict that i look back at the politics so is it wishing for me was very really numbered upward and i did some moment got the setting to the stories of the i.d.p.'s and the people that suffer the consequences of the fact as we said a few moments 8 groups a not able to get into to tikrit the mode is the red cross operating anywhere on the ground integrate. of course they are working on a joke and would cross it was present before about walking but we don't know if you will get there who may know them not remain an accessible and the 80 percent of the

people of the right you sitting in that route that are yes but asked you fight really and security and this is why we are asking you to obote back these old more people back to you son or to grant access to that you might that end up their son if you that of course when we don't about make a layout you got cheated the main cities of the road. now is excessive more luck and then the red cross is walking by there will be activities for example or we run not it you'll be able to go from the station got services and now all of the sceptics just stopped because the luck of out all drives us so we hope to recall there are. a soon as possible right at the moment that is his fate if you go there we are also all the children with those he's also running i'm going to seize and and this is another essential step is that they do at that moment we are missing 140 amber and sees us so we are investigating to let me put indy's way who

did it got and we will engage in a dialogue on. oso he says up and at that as i am not the consequences of what had the lack of respect for her forehead work as. regards to so many thanks indeed for being with us. thank you thank you. the world health organization experts are recommending the oxford astra zeneca vaccine despite its use with corona virus variants that meeting following south africa's decision this week to suspend the use of the jab which it says offers virtually no protection against the variant that's prevalent in that country vaccination campaigns are underway across europe however the european commission says the targets haven't been met and the block isn't where it wanted to be before now but there's more positive news out of israel where researchers have found evidence that the fire is a bio and tech vaccine reduces transmission of the virus when given to the over 65

it's in a moment we'll get more on that study 1st the barber joins us live from london tell us more about what the world health organization has been saying. well adrian vaccine experts have just as you were saying recommended the use of the us oxford astra zeneca vaccine for people aged over 65 this is interesting because there have been concerns voiced by governments notably in europe about its efficacy in fact countries including germany italy and spain have placed age limits over which they won't actually roll out the vaccine here in great britain the oxford astra zeneca vaccine has actually been part of the general but seen rollout it's seen as a vital tool in the fight against covered 19 and globally some people have called it the workhorse a vaccine because it can be stored in normal refrigerators it doesn't have to be

very very low temperatures unlike the fines are beyond vaccine for example so just in the last 10 minutes or so at the press conference in geneva experts from the w.h.o. have said that they hope that by the end of this month there will be millions of doses of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine actually distributed hundreds of millions of doses distributed to low income countries as part of the cox facility they're stressing that this is a good the message is that so far the great majority of doses of any vaccine have been given to wealthy nations and that's just not good enough because the the pandemic can only really be combated on a global scale so this is important news that they're saying we don't have concerns about people using the us what oxford astra zeneca vaccine of whatever age in the u.k. as i was saying it was part of very part of virtually the the 1st vaccination

programs over britain started with the fines or vaccine they did very quickly approved. and getting to medical center is the oxford astra zeneca vaccine and a combination in fact could actually turn out to be more effective than just using one vaccine they're still looking into that so there's a lot riding on the use of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine these words will reassure hope hopefully members of the public in different countries are serious not reporting live there from london as we said a few moments ago. israel research shows there have found evidence that the pfizer bio in tech vaccine reduces transmission of the virus when given to the have a 650 scary force a chance now live from west jerusalem kerry what does this development mean for the fight against covert 19. well it could be very good news indeed we've already had

over several weeks now indications from that the raw data coming from that the population at large especially the over sixty's who were the earliest to be vaccinated have been vaccinated in the greatest number showing that new infections in that group hospitalizations serious illness appear to be coming down but it wasn't a full scientific test it wasn't a scientific test targeting a particular fact on the body of the vaccine and that is what this new research is it's looking at one of the major health providers here the maccabee health provider and the people that it has lacks in aged and it finds that after one dose of the vaccine between $12.28 days after that 1st dose the average of the viral load inside the body has been reduced by some 4 times now it's the viral load that scientists believe at least is very likely to provide more chances for the

virus to be passed on the more viral load you have in your body the more you shed it the likely you are to give it to somebody else if just one dose reduces the viral load by that factor then that's an extremely important indication at least that the pfizer vantec virus vaccination will inhibit the transmission of the disease so it's good news for israel which is that hearing to the fires that pfizer recommendation of a 3 week interval between doses one and 2 because the scientists presume that a 2nd dose will have an even greater impact on the viral load and it's good news for countries like the united kingdom which are extending the interval to 12 weeks to try and get more people vaccinated as fast as possible because even one dose of the vaccine appears to have a significant impact on this very important factor of of the infection and how much of the virus one has in one's body. carrefour said life f. forests in west or islam very many thanks indeed let's get more then on the use

distribution of coronavirus fact seems peta clip off as a european policy analyst base to brussels he says the ears slow response could lead to even more consequences and number of member states seem to be very slow and it's hard to understand why. is it because of vaccine skepticism in france perhaps that plays a role is it because of their ocracy. i mean the fact of the mother is indeed some countries are making the best out of it are also being hampered by the slow e.u. they're still making the best out of it whereas others in need are doing very poorly when it comes to the vaccine rollout i think their response tells you everything you need to know because it's one thing that things go wrong it's another all you respond to it on the lie and the commission president should try to shift the blame 1st she tried to blame for trade commissioner who had actually

wrote a little to do with all of this to mentally today she admitted that indeed mistakes had been mates so some kind of a whole whole fart that mission a failure of but in the end we got it right she said completely ignoring the facts on the ground school which is that we will not only half. economic damage the fact that low downs will have to stay longer or done otherwise would have been necessary but also that more people will sadly passed away as a result. of the slow moving european commission. rescuers are using drones to search inside a tunnel where 35 workmen a believed to be trapped in the indian states of which were conned the tunnel are not from the surrounding area was flooded on sunday when a classic collapsed d'armes power plants roads were destroyed 32 people died and at least 190 are missing rescuers spent days roofing off daybreak to allow teams to

a look at this this strong role of breeze big showers covering the eastern side of madagascar and then the wind kills up on the coast of mozambique now there is something like a 30 percent chance of this turning into a circulation which we could describe as a psycho and then name and it will head towards mozambique now it won't necessarily do that obviously a 30 percent but maputo is forecast does show increasingly likely rain and increasingly strong southerly winds so the effect might be similar. to. since its inception in 1961 the kuwait fund has been supporting people's livelihoods in over 100 countries by funding projects in an array of sectors. ranging from infrastructure to health and education. these initiatives ultimately help to eradicate poverty. and promote

well again this is al-jazeera a very unforgiving here in doha with the news out of the headlines the u.s. senate is set to reconvene in just a few hours time for the impeachment trial of former president ronald trump on tuesday the senate rejected the defense argument that it's unconstitutional to prosecute a president after leaving office which asked us to return to the streets a day after rallies were violently broken up by security forces that demonstrated against last week's military coup they are mass military rulers have imposed a curfew in the 2 biggest cities and banned large gatherings. of world health organization experts are recommending the oxford astra zeneca vaccine despite its use with corona virus variants south africa halted its use after study found that it offered limited protection against its dominant variant. the u.s. state department is expressing concern over recent remarks made by iran's intelligence minister regarding nuclear weapons in an interview on iran's state

television he suggested that teheran would pursue nuclear arms if cornered by the west that's despite iran's official position that its program is for peaceful purposes in. our nuclear program is a peaceful one and the fatwa by the supreme leader explicitly stated that the manufacturing of nuclear weapons is forbidden and the islamic republic won't go after them and consider seeking them as soran however if you corner a cat it may behave differently than a free roaming cat would if you run is pushed in that direction then it wouldn't be iran's fault but those who pushed it under normal circumstances iran does not have such a program and intent at all when 2003 supreme leader ayatollah ali harmony issued a decree that forbade the production of or use of a nuclear weapon or recently iran has been scaling back. gets commitments on the nuclear deal for the us withdrew from the accord on the donald trump iran and said

that the ball is now in washington's court to rejoin the deal so far the pipe that ministration of said it won't make the 1st move iran has also accused israel of being behind the assassination of its top nuclear scientist who was killed near the capital tehran in november israel in turn says that its military assessments indicate that iran is 2 years away from making a nuclear bomb joining us now from tyrone hasan a muddy and a professor of middle east studies at the university of tehran and senior research fellow at the center for strategic research good to have you with us professor what do you make of the intelligence minister's comments. what comes. of it is. wrong we want ministers and i know states spoke or nobody. has continued their rhetoric and also the policy of the previous administration that. i greet talks on are pretty

much all or its sources are encouraging explicit massage programs not policy and also to extend parts of the e.u. which your mom basic that if you are on the maximum pressure or the budget was rationed despite its previous promise it is not to restart the chase if you know a return to the good you know and employment gets harder than you know days 40 minute or tent in terms of trusting basically in my frustration and validating gets cranky but it's good friend and it's policy towards iran so it when you is a commie clear that more pressure would mean more when your leverage get creamed in the nuclear program and the radios have we stored parts of the nuclear program that was over frozen part of 2015 e.u.

as a result of us of the total opposite thank you vhong and now they are moving to 20 percent enrichment info to our other they suck ok so it is a professor that in a sense what you're saying is that iran is spawning is responding to pressure with pressure. sure about pressure to push back against us pressure on you when you know that the main leverage that they have is the nuclear program and the baddies the sensitive nerve in the united states so there pressure is being done by didn't miss ration and for it to return to mince and and we stormed the chase basically. you know reach retirement research and reach around you don't think cromer a did it seems that the that no one's going to get anywhere if if if if we keep going along this this lie and this down this road of just rushing it up the

pressure all of the time is there is there room for a fee for a 3rd party a country like castle perhaps to mediate between the u.s. and iran. i don't think there is need really for a mediator because i think the mind is up there and do that. well in the united states get back to. know one another basically the biden team. 15 deal with they when you so there is the person. so we have to restore the case to people i think back. and that regard i think. the right needs to go

back and deliberate part of the talks because because. the reach of the united states. is on its knees and you need to. get more from the when you and i think those parted with. the compromise. to get back to what was already agreed upon. to other. regions. and. rival factions hamas and fatah have strengthened their commitment to preparing to hold the 1st elections for palestinians in 15 years of talks in cairo they agreed to respect the time table on results of parliamentary and presidential votes in may and july palestinian governance has been divided between the occupied west bank and

thomas in gaza palestinian police will be solely responsible for guarding polling stations for the 1st time in years egypt has indefinitely reopened its border border crossing with the gaza strip the crossing is the only passage to the outside world for gaza that is not controlled by israel the move came on the 2nd day of talks between palestinian factions in cairo. abraham has more now from ramallah in the occupied west bank. and in which they said that they're going forward with holding elections that were by a presidential decree the 1st elections would be held. to be held or. actions . on. and the palestinian involved have agreed on some of the. kind of stopping elections for 15 years.

is seen as a more representative government and a broader government but the challenge is also bigger which is why the prime minister describes the coming stage of sudan's transition as challenging as a new stage needing new faces and new policies unlike the previous cabinet where he said people were based on their experience a technocrat government this government is largely built on political politicians and we see that in the nomination or rather the member of cabinet for the foreign ministry's position which is the daughter of the former head of the party the biggest opposition party. so she will be the foreign minister of the country of course there are a lot of challenges facing the country the biggest being the economy there has been several protest in various parts of the country including here in the bar if and in the western states of dar for south that are for what north are for and is are for today where students and people have been complaining about the tough economic conditions which will be the biggest challenge this transitional government will be
