and. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news live from coming up in the next 60 minutes. never before seen footage from former president trump's impeachment trial tense video showing just how close protesters came to taking over the seeds of america's democracy. a 6th straight day of anti coup protests across me and more now the

u.s. announces sanctions against the military leadership. i'm elizabeth cohen and the indian himalayas with a rescue operation to find 35 men missing in a tunnel since sunday's floods is becoming more difficult. to better than the one the c.d.c. releases new data on how to double masking and offer greater protection against the corona virus. and i'm so excited to the latest sports including reports in japan that i had to take pictures here and mario will be resigning a sexist comment. troubling distressing and emotional that's how u.s. politicians have described new video shown on the 2nd day of former president donald trump's impeachment trial the footage shows just how close rioters got to top politicians such as mike pence the vice president as they stormed the capitol

building on january the 6th. the senate heard that house speaker nancy pelosi was rescued before the rioters broke into her office impeachment manager stacey plaskett argued if they'd found her quotes they would have killed her other previously unseen video show capitol hill police officer eugene goodman running toward senator mitt romney he has scored similar way as the mob approaches here you can see senate majority leader chuck schumer being led away by his security detail but then moments later they turned back and run to avoid encountering the protesters mr trump is charged with inciting the attack on capitol hill one more day of evidence against him will be heard on thursday before his legal team presents its defense

alan fischer reports now 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 want to join in horror as they saw or hope police officers were overwhelmed podi sent frantic radio messages arguing for help how the student against the violent tide that swept towards them threatening to challenge the result of the presidential election at the very heart of american democracy. the evidence will show that he clearly incited the generous 6 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 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. 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 on the assault on the capital on january the 6th 2021. where tens of thousands of people are protesting for a 6th consecutive day against the military coup there demanding the release of their elected leaders and the jointer to step down but the army is not backing away backing down and has the same another close aide of the deposed civilian leader aung san suu kyi under house arrest earlier the united states announced is imposing

new sanctions on those behind the military takeover president joe biden the state says the 1st round of targets will be announced shortly scott hyla joins us live from bangkok scott so we've got these reports that more allies and associates of sun suit she have been arrested what else do we know. yes peter and it's you know i guess the best way to put it is that they're casting a wider net the security forces and the police in myanmar there was one top official top aide of aung sun suu kyi taken in the middle of the night from his home and then also 4 others directly connected to her government the democratically elected government they were taken also which is a bit concerning there are it's all very concerning but even a bit more because they're going even further afield and that is a lection commission workers. officials were also taken not just in yangon or the capital april but further afield we know that at least

a handful of them were also taken in and detained overnight the who has said that that was their kind of stepping stone for launching this coup on february 1st was they said that the november election and of the one by a landslide was fraudulent so that's maybe why they're going after some of these election commercial people but again you have a wider net you know we know at least 140 people are still in detention right now that all started with in the early morning hours when that coup was staged in february 1st and now we know the u.s. saying it will be imposing sanctions on the military coup leaders your sources on the ground in the country scott how do you think that news will go down with them. well it's it was interesting when you know that news came out kind of overnight regional time and in the morning there was a social media reaction straight away obviously a lot of people were happy because that is international recognition of their

plight that is the world's largest economy tightening the screws on them the military leaders and their business connections so that was good news but there's also some concern because in the past there have been sanctions as well when there was a military dictatorship and it really didn't do that much they're hopeful that this might expand this being the international sanctions different countries stepping up doing similar things to the united states so what's interesting because of that today's protests have been focused on embassies of large nations large economies japan china they've been out front protesting today so again they're hoping that the will raise the international awareness and also that will be followed up by action peter scott many things called her live there reporting live from bangkok on the ongoing situation in the meanwhile. well from all the u.s. action against the jump from washington. the u.s. wasted no time calling the overthrow of me and mars democratically elected

government on february 1st a coup on wednesday president joe biden said it was time for the military home to pay the price to begin imposing consequences on the leaders of the coup the us 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 namely most 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 citizens demonstrating for an end to the clue violence against those asserting their democratic rights is unacceptable and we're going to keep calling it out the

people of burma are making their voices heard and the world is watching will be ready to impose additional measures at the state department a recognition of just how much diplomacy it will take to end the crisis i think what we are most concerned with is the restoration of civilian leadership and putting into these anti-democratic actions this coup the new me and more sanctions and biden's announcement that the pentagon will review how it engages with china all part of the day designed to focus on the president's role as commander in chief by and vice president kamel harris whit to the pentagon to meet with defense secretary lloyd austin and to boost morale as we face global threats to our climate and to our health to our physical security and cyber security. your work is of profound importance and consequence and that's why the president are here today to

tell you that we stand with you and we stand for you biden told a reporter he wanted to know all the facts about how china handled the start of the covert $1000.00 pandemic a diplomatic answer as the u.s. takes the measure of a rival pacific power rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington well anger is also growing against the regional superpower china which has so far refused to condemn the military coup hundreds of protesters gathered outside the chinese embassy in yangon they're calling on beijing to end its support of the military john to despite chinese denials china has been refusing to recognize the military takeover as a coup but has called for the release of aung sun suu chain. the families of 35 work one thought to be trapped inside a tunnel in the indian state of what's a calm say they are losing hope the tunnel and much of the surrounding valley was flooded when part of the glazier collapsed into

a river on sunday rescuers have searched through the night but there's no sign of any survivors food parcels are being sent to remote villages cut off by the flooding at least 35 people have died around 200 are still missing al-jazeera is elizabeth piron and joins us live here on the news from top where the search is still underway liz what's the latest with regards to this rescue operation. hello peter well the rescue operation has actually temporarily been forced and that's because there was a rise in the water level of the the she gon the and the dolly ganga rivers were on the dolly got in the river we did see an excavator go in backed out of the tunnel just a little while ago though and rescue teams have said that it is just a temporary halt but this operation really is facing just one challenge after another earlier today a drilling operation into a new part of the tunnel that only began in the middle of wednesday night that had

to be stopped what rescue teams were trying to do was take about 30 meters into a silt filtration tunnel 30 meters below the entrance where we are but they said they were only able to get about halfway when they hit unstable rocks and they said that the excavator would have formed and apart from that all of the rescue teams involved in the effort that's the navy the police the army disaster response they are continuing to with a bullet rather with the operation we start to remove the large amounts of sludge that's inside the tunnel since it flooded and they are still hoping to get to that 180 meters inside the tunnel where they believe there are pockets of air that's a possibility of where the missing men could be meanwhile the family members the family members of the men have been coming here every day they are understandably upset but today we saw them at salute really break down and say that they're losing all hope list there does seem to be some confusion here as to what actually caused this what's the latest conversation coming to you about that. you know.

one of the reasons why there was confusion is because this is just an incredibly remote region and there are different theories about whether an avalanche caused to a lake to burst whether an avalanche landslides lead to that devastation in florida where the blocks of ice fell off of the scientists did fly over the number they the mountain and they took photos they looked at satellite images they surveyed the devastation along the flood path and they say that it looks like a hanging ice sheet did fall off the mountain and take very large amounts of land mass with it what scientists and vironment to say is already clear though is that the himalayas places are melting a 3rd a predicted to melt by the end of the century and that this is needed 1500 places in the state of condit self and that's why they say that these dams and hydroelectric power plants should not be built in such and such an ecologically

sensitive region liz thank you very much elizabeth joining us live from top. still ongoing story. well india and china have agreed to pull back troops from a disputed area in the western him a layers the standoff began last april when india said chinese troops have crossed to its side of the border china denied those claims and accused indian border guards of provocative actions quotes at least 20 indian soldiers were killed when the 2 sides fought in the one valley in june. 20 more still to come for you here in the news including concerns in the philippines about the growing black market for covert 19 vaccines. colombia's reckoning with its uncomfortable past as a commander of a former rebel group faces investigators. on the defending women's champion is knocked out of the australian open the best of the action coming up with sorrow in sport in about 30 with this.

research is in the u.k. see the coronavirus mutation 1st found in the county of kent could become the world's dominant strain the kent variant is already in more than 50 countries it was 1st detected last september in the southeast of england since then it spread at an alarming rate across the u.k. forcing the government to introduce new lockdown measures last month our correspondent rory chalons joins us live from london so roy the comments about this new bear in the kent variant of come from one of the u.k.'s leading genetic scientists what long term impact might the strain have. yes sharon peacock should know what she's talking about she is the head of the u.k.'s genetic surveillance program she's also the head of a consortium of health bodies and labs around the country that is currently analyzing the 1000 plus positive tests a day looking at the genetic make up of the virus is their findings and what she

has said is that the strain of 19 that was 1st detected in the south of the u.k. the south of england back in september she says has swept the country and is likely to sweep the world as well and that's because this strain called the can strike is particularly transmissible that it passes from one person to the next more effectively than the earlier strains a coded $91.00 of the warring things that she's been saying is that it's the work of analyzing 19 strains is probably going to carry on for another 10 years plus now that might sound more worrying that it actually is because she said that that doesn't mean that this is going to be an acute public health crisis for that long because different strains of the corona virus have different.

impacts basically nor all of them make them more deadly and once you get on top of the virus then they will recede as a public health crisis be you need to stay on top of the new variants as they occur so that the vaccines that you're using can continue to be as effective as possible and that's a long term project. i'm sure it is very many things were a challenge there were 14 live from london. many of us wearing a mask to protect ourselves and others from covert 19 has become commonplace it is of course a common practice but it turns out we could do even more to stop the spread of the virus the us c.d.c. the centers for disease control has conducted experiments on the effectiveness of wearing masks chloral and is now recommending double layers it says combining a cloth mask over a surgical mask blocks more than 95 percent of cough particles the c.d.c. also says a tight fit is essential to stop any air escaping from around the edges of the mask

let's talk now to deal fisher dale is a professor of infectious diseases at the national university of singapore and an infection control expert he is also the chair of the world health organization is global outbreak alert and response network he joins us from singapore dale good to talk to get so basically this is like double glazing for all those soft mucus membranes that i might breathe out across or breathe in across. yeah i'm. sorry your questions are stump me a little bit but no the research has shown largely what we know and that is that a single layer is not a is not as effective as multiple layers it's getting translater the little bit. we're into masks or even 3 and i think that's really not the point it's about wearing masks that have those different layers and this is vain really common

knowledge but for some time the standard surgical mask has the 3 layers that we talk about w o w h r was released guidelines on how to make cloth masks with those 3 layers. you need anonymous organ inside. straight absorbent inside layer not absorb an outside layer and then a filtration wraps in the middle which is typically polypropylene and this is how you can make your own cloth mask that describes how to wash of animals this sort of thing so so i don't think i'd be pushing too masks but i'll be pushing good masks ok is it a simple though if people have got any issues or worries about just using one mask see you know the cheap as chips surgical masks that we've all got access to no is it just a simple as wearing 2 of those and make sure that they're on your face properly so you've got the nose guard slightly bent if you wear it with glasses to hold it in

place that's better and also if you do that figure 8 thing around your ears where it pulls it in a little bit more snugly than you might wear it ordinarily that's also a good idea. so painter i think this is where we need to be very careful. if you're a proponent. of aerosol transmission being a major form. which which most people don't believe him then you might hit that way but but really the most common by far means of transmission is is droplet and surgical masks work with droplets they have the 3 layers and the droplets freds by trajectory it doesn't float and go around corners and things like that so i think it's so much more important to send a message to wear a mask rather than to complicate it by saying we're 6 tire the elastic together.

or all this type of thing which which i think could deter people. a surgical mask has has served us very well on this side of the of the world for the pandemic still briefly you've totally confused me you flummoxed me now which i apologize i thought aerosol transmission was transmission you're saying there's something else going on here which is droplet transmission but surely droplets of something coughs and my face today when i'm walking towards the car in the car park that's aerosol transmission surely. night of the difference is that if it's very small fine particles which can. stay afloat and transmit for some distance we see this in conditions like measles chicken pox and the are not valued for those diseases is is around 16 now we know that even when when

code was was at its worst the our north was like 3 or 4. this is because it's essentially on larger droplets which travel a metre or 2 of the most and then fall to the ground they don't stay suspended so so i think this mask. understanding relates directly to the transmission and most of us don't believe that that when we believe there are cells happen but it's very specific situations and it's not the whole mark you want to stop the pandemic focusing on aerosols you'll stop and demi focusing on on on on drop of transmission which which is mass wearing in distancing this isn't saying won't work with you there are cells understood thanks for that clarity the bill good to talk to dale fisher there in singapore thanks peter. drug company astra zeneca has annual profits of surged to $3200000000.00 the news comes as the

world health organization backed the use of the company's covert $1000.00 vaccine despite questions about its efficacy among older people and against the new variants that we've been discussing experts say while the trap may offer less protection against mild cases caused by mutated strains they are confident it guards against severe disease south africa suspended use of the astra zeneca vaccine this week. i would recommend for the back to be used in people 18 years without an upper age limit. 65 years of age should be vaccination we have made the recommendation that even. in the possibility of this vaccine having an impact in its protection capacity especially against. there is no reason not to recommend. even in countries that have the circulation of

the variants well the philippines government says it will receive the 1st doses of vaccines from a global vaccine alliance known as kovacs next month it's also secured at least 50000 doses from china but critics say that is not enough and there are growing concerns over illegal vaccine distribution coming from the black market struggling dogan reports now from manila. this blog entry in a popular chinese social media site talks about purchase of illegal covert 1000 vaccines in one discussion thread a social media user questions why he has not developed antibodies after buying one of them illegally raising doubts among others that some of the vaccines being sold are fake the website targets chinese nationals and authorities say it is proof that vaccines claiming to protect against school big 19 are being sold on the black

market in manila the vaccines are hard to acquire here in the price steep investigators say each toes can cost as much as $200.00 china must explain i mean how in the world these illegal vaccines get into the philippines with the strength of their security and surveillance system it's impossible for them not to know or do find out exactly how this happened. the chinese embassy in manila has warned its citizens about the risks of fake vaccines and recommends only those authorized by the philippine government but the store to say this comes as no surprise at least 6 illegal clinics like this one have been weighted over the past year investigators found illegal shipments of medicines for respiratory illnesses allegedly used as treatment for corona virus and that these reported vaccinations may be happening to

areas exclusively catering to chinese patients it's thought to many have tried to import vaccines amid growing anger at the government's slow response and outrage grew further when reports came out that president through the go to churches presidential guards were inoculated with smuggled chinese school with $1000.00 vaccines last year critics say the soldiers' actions have set a bad example and undermine the very purpose of the food and drug administration the terror to defended his security personnel it's actions to me jamaat their own research to be sure and i would like to call on congress what the. general. do not force my soldier to best of by against. the reed compared to other asian nations the philippines has been slow to roll out its vaccination program and critics say that's led to a black market with many here giving up on the government to get them

has been repeatedly intimidated and harassed by supporters of the group and they believe that this is the hezbollah had the most to gain the hezbollah has denied any any role in the killing and they believe that these accusations are being used for political reasons this shows you the deep divide in this country but the message you're getting from the people here they're holding up posters saying 0 fear is that we will not be silenced lebanon is in the midst of a deep political crisis a deep political divide and you know and now there's really fears that the security situation could deteriorate further that we must leave it there many things in a hold reporting live from the suburbs of beirut. back to the states u.s. president joe biden has had his 1st conversation with the chinese premier shooting pains since he took office in january mr biden raised concerns about what the white house called beijing's unfair economic practices the u.s. president also spoke to she about the pandemic the ongoing situation on kong and
