the buildings the universities and monasteries were just some of the many structures that were destroyed in manila drawing world war 2. but rebuilding the lives and a city from scratch has proven difficult and some experts see manila has never truly recover it. hello i'm adrian for again this is the news hour live from doha we're bringing you special coverage of day 2 of former u.s. president donald trump's 2nd impeachment trial the prosecution is about to present its case against the former president arguing that he incited the deadly insurrection on capitol hill last month they're also reportedly set to release never before seen security footage of the attack on tuesday the senate rejected the

defense argument that it's unconstitutional to prosecute a president after he's left office 2 thirds majority is required to convict trump of red sizing. so we have extensive coverage of developments in washington over the next few hours. let's go live to work and the gallagher in west palm beach florida close to donald trump's home a bit 1st alan fischer who's on capitol hill allan what are we expecting to happen today. well you'll remember the 13 minute video that was shown on tuesday should the scenes of violence on capitol hill itself that was intercut with parts of donald trump's speech and also some of the tweets that he sent out when he was 20 against mike pence is an actual was in the halls of the senate looking for the vice president allegedly to try and hang him well this time what we're going to hear

from the democrats over the next 8 hours and it will be around 8 hours that they will make their case with another 8 hours on thursday it's going to be much broader and deeper much broader and deeper with more video than we've seen before this unseen. video that comes from the security cameras on capitol hill they will be used by the democrats and essentially they will sure to the senators just hope close the mobs came to actually capturing some of them you remember the. the rascal who is the congressman from maryland who's leading the democrats prosecution of donald trump one of the house managers he said that as a senator said to him they came close to killing one of us and so that is the point that they're going to push we're also going to see over the next 1816 hours 816 hours that the democrats put their case forward they're going to be drawing lines and it's not just about the here and now it's not just about the 6th of january it's all about what donald trump said from the election all the tweets all the

speeches all the press conferences where he alleged that the election was stolen from him the phone calls he made to the state chiefs in arizona the meeting he had at the white house with republican leaders from michigan the very no infamous phone call that he made to the secretary of state in georgia are ging him to find enough votes to overturn the state they will go through all of that and draw a direct line to what happened on the 6th of january and of course the key to that is going to be don't trump speech on the mall when he said he was going to walk with the people to capitol hill and remember he said that if people didn't fight they weren't going to have a country so that's what we're expecting over the next 16 hours donald trump's team are going to have to just sit there and listen we know from various reports don't trump very angry about what happened on wednesday as we choose the as we expected he would be because we were told that 1st of all his team were going to mention

president joe biden they were going to refer to his former vice president joe biden they didn't want to acknowledge that donald trump had lost and they were also going to say that donald trump won the election or at least believed he won the election of course the question then was that his team said no that the voters voted him out and the other thing they did was praise the defense team for how they are presentation so sorry it is going to be a different sort of day. alan we have to go live now to well the floor of the senate where. the impatient managed as to present that come in that case against the former president let's listen in and it disrupted it easily could have destroyed the peaceful transfer of power in the united states for the 1st time in 233 years it was suggested yesterday by president trump's council that this is really like a very bad accident or a natural disaster where lots of people get injured or killed and society is just

out looking for someone to blame and that's a natural and normal human reaction according to the president's counsel but he says it's totally unfair in this case president trump according to mr castor is essentially an innocent bystander who got swept up in this catastrophe but did nothing wrong in this assertion mr caster unerringly echoes his client x. president trump who declared after the insurrection that the his conduct in the affair was totally appropriate and therefore we can only assume he could do and would do the exact same thing again because he said his conduct was totally appropriate so now the factual inquiry of the trial is squarely posed for us the jurisdictional constitutional issue is gone whether you were persuaded by the president's constitutional analysis yesterday or not the senate voted to reject it

and so the senate is now properly exercising its jurisdiction and sitting as a court of impeachment conducting a trial on the facts we are having a trial on the facts the house says ex-president donald trump incited a violent insurrection against congress and the constitution and the people. the president's lawyers and the president say its conduct was totally appropriate and he's essentially an innocent victim of circumstances like the other innocent victims that will see getting caught up in all of the violence and chaos over the next several days the evidence will be for you to see and hear in digest the evidence will show you that ex-president trump was no innocent bystander the evidence will show that he clearly incited the january 6th insurrection it will

show that donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief of a dangerous instruction and this was as one of our colleagues put it so cogently on january 6th itself the greatest betrayal of the presidential oath in the history of the united states evidence will show you that he saw it coming and was not remotely surprised by the violence and when the violence inexorably inevitably came as predicted and overran this body in the house of representatives with chaos we will show you that he completely abdicated his duty as commander in chief to stop the violence and protect the government and protect our officers and protect our people. he violated his oath of office to preserve

protect and defend the constitution the government in the people the united states government's we'll show you that he assembled inflamed incited his followers to descend upon the capitol to stop the steel to block vice president pence and congress from finalizing his opponent's election victory over him. it will show that he had been warned that these followers were prepared for a violent attack targeting us at the capitol through media reports law enforcement reports and even arrests in short we will prove that the impeach president was no innocent bystander whose conduct was totally appropriate and should be a standard for future presidents but that he incited this attack and he saw it coming to us it may have felt like chaos and madness but there was method

in the madness that day this was an organized attack on the counting of the electoral college votes in joint session of the united states congress and the 12th amendment and under the electoral count act to prevent vice president mike pence and to prevent us from from counting sufficient electoral college votes to certify joe biden's victory of 306-2232 in the electoral college a margin that president trump had declared a landslide in 2016 when my colleague mr nuku speaks after me he will set forth in detail the exact roadmap of all the evidence in the case my fellow house managers and i will then take you through that evidence step by step so everyone can see exactly how these events unfolded but i want to tell you

a few key reasons right now that we know this case is not about blaming an innocent bystander for the horrific violence and harm that took place on joinery sets this is about holding accountable the person singularly responsible for inciting the attack let's start with december 12th you will see during this trial a man who praised and encouraged and cultivated violence. we have just begun to fight he says more than a month after the election has taken place and that's before the 2nd 1000000 maggette march a rally that ended in serious violence and even the burning of a church and as the president forecast it was only the beginning on december 19th 18 days before january 6th he told his base about where the battle would be that they would fight next january 6th would be y.

old he promised be there will be wild said the president of the united states of america and that too turned out to be true you'll see in the days that followed donald trump continued to aggressively promote january 6th to his followers the event was scheduled at the protests at the precise time that congress would be meeting in joint session to count the electoral college votes and to finalize the 2020 presidential election in fact in the days leading up to the attack you learn that there were countless social media post news stories and most importantly credible reports from the f.b.i. in capitol police that the thousands gathering for the president's save america march were violent organized with weapons and were targeting the capitol this mob got we're going to is so openly because as they would later scream in these halls and as they posted on forums before the attack they were sent here by the president

they were invited here by the president of the united states of america and when they showed up knowing of these reports that the crowd was angry and it was armed here's what donald trump told them president trump whipped the crowd into a frenzy exhorting followers if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country. anymore and then he aimed straight at the capitol declaring you will never take back our country with weakness you have to show strength and you have to be strong he told them to fight like hell and they brought us hell on that day incited by president trump his mob attacked the capitol this assault unfolded live on television before

a horrified nation according to those around him at the time this is our president trump reportedly responded to the attack that we saw him incite in public to light enthusiasm confusion as to why others around him were just happy as he was trump incited the january 6th attack and when his mob overran an occupied the senate in attack the house and assaulted law enforcement he watched it on t.v. like a reality show he reveled in it and he did nothing to help us as commander in chief instead he served as the inciter in chief sending tweets that only further incited the rampaging mob he made statements lauding and sympathizing with the insurrectionists over it 4 17 pm over 3 hours after the beginning of the

siege for the very 1st time he spoke out loud not on twitter spoke out loud to the american people here's what he said i know you have pay i know you're here a few might be saying all right the president is going to console us now he's going to reassure america he knows our pain he knows were heard we've just seen these horrific images of officers being impaled and smashed over the head we've just been under attack for 3 hours but here's what he actually goes on to say . i know you pay i know you heard we had an election that was stolen from us it was a landslide election and everyone knows it especially the other side so you think he's about to decry the mayhem in violence the unprecedented spectacle of this mob attack on the u.s. capitol but he's still promoting the big lie that was responsible for inflaming

inciting the mob in the 1st place if anyone ever had a doubt as to his focus that day it was not to defend it was not to console us it was to praise and sympathize and commiserate with the rampaging mob it was to continue to act as insider in chief not commander in chief by telling the mob that there are a lection had been stolen from them even then after that vicious attack he continued to spread the big lie and as everyone here knows joe biden won by more than 7000000 votes and 306-2230 2 in the electoral college but donald trump refused to accept his loss even after this attack and he celebrated the people who violently interfered with the peaceful transfer of power for the 1st time in american history and did that at his or her dream and when he did in this video finally tell them to

go home in peace he added this message we love you you're very special distinction members of the senate this is a day that will live in disgrace in american history that is unless you ask donald trump because this is what he tweeted before he went to bed that night at 6 o 1 pm. not consoling the nation not referring every reassuring everyone in the government was secure not a single word that entire day condemning the violent insurrection is what he says these are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously and viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long go

home with love and in peace remember this day forever these are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so on ceremoniously and viciously stripped away from great patriots in other words this was all perfectly natural and foreseeable to donald trump at the beginning the day he told you is coming at the end of the day he basically says i told you this would happen and then he adds remember this day forever but not as a day of disgrace a day of horror and trauma as the rest of us remember it but it's a day of celebration a day of commemoration and if we let it be it will be a day of continuation a call to action and a rallying cry for the next rounds of insurrectionary justice because all of this was totally appropriate senators the stakes of this trial could not be more

serious. every american young and old and in between is invited to participate with us in this essential journey to find the facts and share the truth trials are public events in a democracy and no trial is more public or significant than an impeachment trial. because the instruction brought shocking violence bloodshed and pain in the nation's capital and we will be showing relevant clips of the mobs attack on police officers and other innocent people we do urge parents and teachers to exercise close review of what young people are watching here and please watch along with them if you're allowing them to watch the impeachment managers will try to give warnings before the most graphic and disturbing violence that took place is shown we believe that the manager is comprehensive in meticulous presentation will lead to one powerful and irresistible conclusion donald trump committed

a massive crime against our constitution in our people and the worst violation of the presidential oath of office in the history of the united states of america for this he was impeached by the house of representatives and he must be convicted by the united states senate before i close i want to address a constitutional issue still lingering from yesterday's argument the president. obviously is still exploring ways to change the subject and talk about anything other than his responsibility for inciting the attack we heard a lot yesterday about his claim that this incitement of insurrection was perfectly appropriate because it's somehow protected by the 1st amendment and this little diversion caught my eye because i've been a professor of constitutional law and the 1st amendment for decades and as will demonstrate over the course of the trial the factual premise and the legal underpinnings of that claim are all wrong they present president trump as merely

like a guy at a rally expressing a political opinion that we disagree with and now we're trying to put him in jail for it that has nothing to do with the reality of these charges or his constitutional offense the particular political opinions being expressed are not why we impeach the president and have nothing to do with it it makes no difference what the ideological content of the mob was and if we license and forgive incitement to violent insurrection by militant trump followers this week you can be sure there will be a whole bunch of new ideological flavors coming soon as we'll demonstrate with overwhelming evidence portraying trump is a guy on the street being punished for his ideas is a false description of his actions his intent and the role that he played on january 6th when he willfully incited an insurrection in insurrectionary mob to riot at the capitol last week $144.00 constitutional scholars including floyd

abrams a ferocious defender of free speech charles freed president reagan solicitor general stephen calibrated the co-founder of the federalist society released a statement calling the president's 1st amendment arguments legally frivolous. legally frivolous adding we all agree that the 1st amendment does not prevent the senate from convicting president trump and disqualifying him from holding future office they went on to say no reasonable scholar or jurist could conclude that president trump had a 1st amendment right to incite a violent attack on the seat of the legislative branch or then to sit back and watch on television as congress was terrorized and the capitol sacked incitement to violence is of course not protected by the 1st member that's what most americans have dismissed donald trump's 1st amendment. rhetoric simply by referring to just

as oliver wendell holmes is handy phrase you can't shout fire in a crowded theater but even that time honored principle doesn't begin to capture how off base the argument is this case is much worse than someone who falsely shout fire in a crowded theater it's more like a case where the town fire chief who's paid to put out fires sends a mob not to get fire in a crowded theater but to actually set the theater on fire and who then when the fire alarms go off and the call start flooding into the fire department asking for help does nothing but sit back encourage the mob to continue its bram page and watch the fire spread on t.v. with glee and delight so then we say this fire chief should never be allowed to hold this public job again and you're fired in your permanently disqualified and he objects and he says were violating his free speech rights just because he's

pro mob or pro fire or whatever it might be come on i mean you you really don't need to go to law school to figure out what's wrong with that argument here's the key. undoubtedly a private person can run around the street on the street expressing his or her support for the enemies of the united states and advocating the overthrow of the united states government you've got a right to do that under the 1st amendment but if the president spent all of his days doing that uttering the exact same words expressing support for the enemies of the united states and for overthrowing the government is there anyone here who doubts that this would be a violation of his oath of office to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the united states and that he or she could be impeached for doing that look at your president united states you've chosen to side with your oath of office and if you break it we can impeach convict removed and disqualify you permanently from

holding any office of honor trust or profit under the united states as justice scalia once said memorably you can ride with the cops and root for the robber. and if you become insider in chief to the insurrection you can expect to be on the payroll as commander in chief for the union. trump was the president i'd states needs warner preserve protect and defend the constitution he had an affirmative binding duty one that set him apart from everyone else in the country to take care that the laws be faithfully executed including all the laws against assaulting federal officers destroying federal property violently threatening members of congress and the vice president interfering with federal elections and dozens of other federal laws that are well known to all of you when he incited insurrection and generally 6 he broke that oath he violated that duty and that's why we're here

today and that's why he has no credible constitutional defense. i'll tell you a final sad story in this kaleidoscope of sadness in terror and violence one of our capitol officers who defended us that day was a longtime veteran of our force a brave and honorable public servant who spent several hours battling the mob as part of one of those blue lines defending the capital in our democracy for several hours straight as the marauders punched and kicked and mauled and spit upon and hit officers with baseball bats and fire extinguishers cursed the cops in stormed our capitol he defended us and he lived every minute of his oath of office and afterwards overwhelmed by emotion he broke down in the rotunda.

and he cried for 15 minutes and he shouted out i got called an n. word 15 times today and then he recorded i sat down with one of my buddies another black guy in tears just started streaming down my face and i said what the f. man is this america that's the question before all of you in this trial is this america. and our country in our democracy ever be the same if we don't hold accountable the person responsible for inciting the violent attack against our country our capital and our democracy and all of those who serve us so faithfully in honorably is this america.

mr new goose will now provide a road map a road map of our evidentiary case. mr president distinguished senators counsel. like several of you i am a child of immigrants and as a son of immigrants i believe firmly in my heart at the united states is the greatest republic that this world has ever known

a hall mark of our republic since the days of george washington has been the peaceful transfer of power for centuries we've accepted it as fact. unfortunately sadly we know now that we can no longer take that for granted because as lead manager rascon explained on january 6th the peaceful transition of power was violently interrupted when a mob stormed this capitol and desecrated this chamber as you'll see during the course of this trial that mob was summoned assembled and incited. by the former president of the united states donald trump and he did that because he wanted to stop the transfer of power so that he could retain power even

though he had lost the election and when the violence erupted when they were here in our building with weapons he did nothing to stop it if we are to protect our republic and prevent something like this from ever happening again he must be convicted now i want to be very clear about what we will show you during the course of this trial as my fellow managers present our case to you today tonight tomorrow it will be helpful to think. but president trumps incitement of insurrection in 3 distinct parts the attack the provocation the

attack and the harm. let's start with the provocation we will show during the course of this trial that this attack was provoked by the president incited by the president and as a result it was predictable and it was foreseeable and of course that makes sense and this mob was well orchestrated their conduct was intentional they did it all in plain sight proudly openly and loudly because they believed they truly believed they were doing this for him but this was their patriotic duty they even predicted that he would protect them. and for the most part they were right.
