it doesn't matter where you are you'll get in the can relate to the human in. the to the way. i think it's the light and it's my job to shed light on how and why. and hour after president trump ended his speech the insurrectionists overwhelmed capitol security and made it inside the halls of congress us democrats lay out their case of the 2nd impeachment trial of donald trump they accuse him of inciting an insurrection in germany 6. 4

radio dispatches from police are submitted as evidence to show how overwhelmed they were as rioters stormed the capitol. hill and down jordan the soldiers there on live from doha also coming up more allies of unsung suchi are arrested as the u.s. announces sanctions against me and military of the recent in. the philippines are set to roll out a covert $900.00 that scene but many are worried about a growing bloc. she was a powerful advocate for women's rights and really sure was the right thing to do and u.s. president joe biden welcomes the release of saudi women's rights activist hussein al hats moon who spent years in jail. u.s. senators have seen. new videos and audioboo recounting in graphic detail the violence

on capitol hill which democrats say was whipped up by former president donald trump on the 6 of january it was day 2 of his 2nd impeachment trial video evidence showed just how close the rioters came to top politicians during the insurrection alan fischer reports from capitol hill. the day was punctuated by video much of it which had never been seen before much of it security footage from actually inside the capitol building itself senators could only watch on in horror as they saw or hope police officers were overwhelmed povey sent frantic radio messages to arguing for help how the student against the violent tide that swept towards them threatening to challenge the results of the presidential election at the very heart of american democracy. the evidence will show that he clearly incited the generous 60 insurrection if you will show that donald trump surrendered

his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief 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 the. this was never about pursuing legitimate claims he was saying anything he could to trigger and anger his base so that they would fight like hell to overturn a legitimate election just the. do this violent attack was not planned in secret the insurgents believed that they were doing the duty of their president. for you.

know the democrat impeachment managers also highlighted donald trump's criticism of vice president mike pence how he didn't have the courage to do is job and then they showed the video of how close the crowd came to the vice president and the awful consequences that mia followed this next security video shows that evacuation you can see vice president pence and his family quickly moved down the stairs the vice president turns around as the riders reached the top of the stairs they were within 100 feet of where the vice president was sheltering with his family and they were just a feet away from one of the doors to this chamber where many of you remained at that time. vice president pant was threatened with death by the president's supporters because he rejected president trump's demand that he

overturn the election the 1st critical hour and a half of this bloody attack donald trump tweeted his rally speech and did nothing else. was. senators. you've seen all the evidence so far and this is clear on january 6th president trump left everyone in this capitol for dead the democrats may have moved some republican senators with the audio and the video that they played today but it's still unlikely they'll get enough votes to convict donald trump but what they have done is lay the narrative of donald trump's final days in office and the assault on the capital on january the 6th 2021 more just house as a lawyer and executive director of the revolving door project at the center for

economic and policy research he says the evidence presented is damning. the strength of their case is commendable they have distilled a complex events into a format that is easily understood and i think if there were a secret ballot they would get overwhelming support in the senate and they have done as good a job as is possible and making the determination of this trial not about the democrats but about the republicans the republican party is now on trial the republican party can prove itself a meaningful part of a democratic society by voting to and donald trump's influence in the party and to convict him or they can retain donald trump as their leader in fact even if not in title and i think then democrats will have their work cut out for them but they

will realize that the republican party is not a party with which you can cooperate if you believe in small the democracy and the rule was don trump had been leaning toward days the events going back to june of 2020 even laying the groundwork that if he is not declared the victor it had to be as you do fast but we now learned today that he had a phone call with senator coverdell of alabama and heard about darius that mike pence his vice president and the senate was under so we now know we have the chronology of when did trump know and once what did he know and when did he know it and then his failure to act for another couple of hours is incredibly damning and underscores the idea that what was occurring was not against his wishes but was in fact an advancement of his wishes. united states is imposing sanctions on those responsible for the military coup in me and president biden says the 1st round of

targets will be announced shortly it's one of several foreign policy moves as well as in jordan that reports. the u.s. wasted no time calling the overthrow of me in mars' democratically elected government on february 1st a crude a wednesday president joe biden said it was time for the military junta to pay the price to begin imposing consequences on the leaders of the coup. the u.s. government is taking steps to prevent the generals from improperly having access to the $1000000000.00 in burma's government funds held in none of the states and today have approved a new executive order. a new executive order neighbor asked immediately sanction the military leaders who directed the coup their business interest as well as close family members by also called for the immediate release of state councilor on song suchi and president when met. and praised the thousands of bernie's

protesters you know in the social media reaction that's going to be the immediate reaction because that the announcement actually came very early morning the middle of the night actually here in the region and it was obviously very happy that they're getting the recognition that they've been recognition that they've been going after and that is that the international community sees what's happening here and comments and react to what's happening here so that is happening with the united states and a physical manifestation of that is we're seeing people in yangon that gathering in front of the united states embassy we're hearing about at least 2000 people according to our contacts on the ground we also know that they're gathering at the japanese embassy the japanese. business community and government has a lot of investments in myanmar so they're gathering in front of the japanese embassy as well as the chinese embassy so we're seeing these gatherings start to swell like we have over the last several days normally what will happen in the end gone is they'll be kind of perceptions and they go in different directions marches

they'll go in different directions and start to pull up at different locations and that's what we're starting to see now again you know kind of early hours of this will grow throughout the day but right now obviously they're focusing on what it seems to be is the international community members who have representation in yangon myanmar as large a city as well as any kind of nation that has a financial interest in the private sector also in march. in bangkok so thank you. time for so break here now to 0 when we come back senegalese army makes major gains on rebels hoping to end a 14 year long conflict. has been in rival factions agree on terms for the 1st general election in 15 years we hear why some communities are skeptical aren't stainless. it's time for the perfect gentleman. sponsored point qatar airways
