7:03 pm
that is the told her is an age ran as far as you and you asked the democrats who are the jurists will they say that it has been convincing indeed they say that the video shown yesterday were powerful and compelling and that the argument laid out by the impeaching managers that lay the blame before trump not just on january 6th but from the months prior when he began still in doubt in the election results were he to lose then not conceding after he lost and not accepting even the supreme court ruling that his claims are fraught were illegitimate that that pushed trump supporters to reach no other conclusion besides that they could only take matters into their own hands leading to the violence here in january 6th well even some republicans have called that argument strong and compelling those words actually
7:04 pm
coming from the number 2 republican senator john thune but as far as getting 17 senate republicans to vote to convict trump well that's asking them to make that vote and are. live with the political consequences given that trump still today remains the most popular figure in the republican party in asia and that is a very high hurdle to climb but certainly in peter managers will continue to try to do that today off to if today's compelling video evidence all of the arguments that the that we heard what more can the impeachment managers do to make that case. right well there's the political challenge they face of course and there's also the main a legal challenge which is they have to convince the state they have to prove the state of mind of the former president which is a big hurdle not only do they have to convince the jurors that this mob was incited
7:05 pm
by trump and that seems pretty obvious to all they must convince the jurors that it was trump's intention to incite the mob and that gets to his state of mind and it's interesting because there are 2 jurists who may have keen insight to that very question they know more about it than the manager presenting the case but they're keeping the information to themselves i'm talking about 2 senate republicans who took a call from former president trouble in the middle of the riot michael e. one of those senators who said that trump on the phone call pushed his colleague tommy tubber a bill to delay certify the election results while it's interesting that lee is now trying to take back those comments that were reported by the press saying that that was a false report and tommy tucker bill has been very silent on it except for saying that he did tell trump on the phone that mike pence the vice president was being evacuated but the big question is how to trump respond what did he actually say on
7:06 pm
the phone call and that these republican senators are keeping to themselves heidi many thanks indeed how did your castro reporting live from capitol hill. u.s. president joe biden says that he's rescinded the national emergency order the u.s. border with mexico it was imposed by former president donald trump allowed him to drive a billions of dollars from the pentagon funds to build a border wall let's go live now to the white house correspondent kelly how good is the 1st tell us more about this kimberly. yeah well this is a major or was a major campaign promise for donald trump and 2016 and when he was unable to secure the funds to build his border wall because of pushback from congress he declared a national emergency in 2019 well that emergency is apparently over according to joe biden with the stroke of a pen he has sent a letter to house speaker nancy pelosi saying that not only does he believe that
7:07 pm
this was unwarranted but he has ensured that no further u.s. taxpayer dollars will be diverted in order to construct this wall so this is something that we had heard from joe biden he signaled that he would do now he's actually done it now in the midst of all this he continues with his agenda he just spoke at the white house when he was asked of us watching the impeachment trial that has been taking place on capitol hill he said that he is keeping an eye on it in terms of watching the news reports at the end of the day but he is not watching these things live instead he said what he's doing is his job and that it's really time to move on to that end he has continued to move on some of his policy agenda not just the border wall issue but also continuing to build infrastructure he's just met with members of congress specifically senators here at the white house and he later will be traveling to the national institutes of health where he is continuing to work on combating the global pandemic and how it's affecting

7:12 pm
but it is more transmissible it passes from one person to another more effectively what she says is that we are going to see these these new variants popping up there have been several already that's the way viruses work and what this means is that she expects her work as a sequence of looking at corona virus to carry on for another 10 plus years now that perhaps sounds more worrying than that it actually is she's not saying that this is going to be an acute public health crisis for that long but she's saying that because viruses mutate because you get these different strains some of the strains may be less dangerous some of them may be more you have to keep a tab on things you have to keep looking looking at them you have to keep your 'd vaccines effective by making sure that tweaks to the new strains of the virus that are in circulation and although coronaviruses public health crisis may have faded
