the final report on the january 6th attack on the u. s. capital is released outlining wife, former president donald trump, should face criminal charges. ah, hello, i'm carry johnston. this is out to sarah la from doha. also coming up. north korea denies us reports that it's supplying weapons to a russian mercenary group for use and ukraine. 8 people confirmed dead in japan after record snow fall in the north and west will be live in tokyo. and the u. s. braces for what's been called a bomb cycling and the coldest christmas and decades. ah . the congressional panel investigating lost his attack on the u. s. capital has released its final report. the members voted unanimously to pursuit criminal charges against donald trump. it says the former president engaged the conspiracy

to overturn the results of the 2020 election and failed to stop his supporters from attacking the building. the panel says the insurrection threatened democracy and put the lives of politicians at risk. she had retents, he has more from washington dc. the life of the select committee was a gutter and at the end of this year and with a republican controlled house in the new year, clearly there wasn't going to be any more weren't going to be any more hearings next year. so they have releases report $845.00 pages. it is a summary, but it's basically all encompassing summary off the 18 months of work and hearings, the over a 1000 witnesses, the over a 1000000 pages were told of documents. it's all in here. what we're being told this is that this is the, this is the draft of history from the committee about what exactly happened. we know the broad parameters of the plan, which is helpful because we haven't had a chance yet to read 845 pages, but you can see from the index. it basically follows the same narrative structure

that we saw during the committee hearings, which was, which was that story of how donald trump, even his votes were being counted on election night hatched a plan to try and steal the election. he did not want to appear a loser. knowing the dissemination false information, little pressure, the vice president, members of congress, local state officials for extra votes for the warranty. the fudge was constitutional processes, and he ultimately failed. we know those board parameters. this is that documentary evidence, which is the work of the committee, which they want to be part of history, but potentially also. and we had this earlier on on the week part of the any criminal investigations that may follow. well, eric ham is a fiscal analyst. he believes the push to charge, donald trump will affect his new bid for the presidency. this is unprecedented. we're talking about a former u. s. president and also a candidate for the president of the united states in 2024. we're now congress.

remember, the 1st branch of government has made criminal referrals about this candidate and former president to the justice department. now, even though this is non binding, this certainly puts pressure on the justice department to actually weigh this evidence against the former president. and again, this is something, this is uncharted territory or the united states for the department of justice to actually weigh whether or not to bring charges against donald trump. even though we know that there are already investigations in to a donald trump's actions on that day. clearly, donald trump's efforts to try to be successful in running for the nomination for the republican party in 2024 is becoming increasingly precarious. already his popularity has begun to weigh. and now what we're seeing is many rank and file dimmer. our republicans, even members of leadership,

are no longer simply moving to the beat of donald trump. in fact, we heard from the senate republican minority leader mitch mcconnell, who said that after the referrals are made, everyone knows who is responsible for january sick. that is something that was unheard of even in the immediate aftermath of what's in place on january 6. and so what we're seeing now is donald trump is not going to have the support that he was able to rally around him in 20162020. and that's going to make it even that much more difficult, even without the political and legal baggage, that is certainly attempting to try to catch up to the head of russian that private military company. the wagner group has dismissed us reports that it received a north korean army shipment. ron young has denied sending the weapons, but u. s. at national security council spokesman john kirby says intelligent shows at north korea, sent rockets and missiles into russia for use by the mercenaries. in ukraine,

north korean officials have said publicly that they would not support russia's war and ukraine, and yet here they are delivering arms to wagner in direct violation of a un security of, of un security council resolutions. and we're going to raise these violations with the security council alongside of our allies and partners. and of course we condemn north korea's actions. and we urge north korea to cease these delivers deliveries to wagner immediately. hosen jordan has more on it's not from washington dc. the white house did confirm on thursday that tom north korea did sell la weapons to the a wall near group of which is essentially a private russian military operation, acting on behalf of the government and moscow inside of ukraine. the usaa is a very, very angry about this development. there are plants at the un security council to bring the matter up because it does as represent

a violation of un security council resolutions involving north korea's behavior on the world stage. as well as out trying to bring up new concerns about the behavior of iran, which has also been providing military support, particularly in the form of drones to our russia as it continues its invasion of ukraine, of the position here at the state department is that tom north korea needs to be held to account, but beyond an extensive us sanctions regime officials here don't want to get into any more specifics about what else could be done to try to curb the behavior of pyongyang in the saw war. managers of a hospital in china's biggest city say half its population of 25000000, could be infected by covey. 19 by the end of next week. ok says off surging in the country off the government began eating restrictions this month, following a wave of protest. shanghai edgy hospital told it start to prepare for

the consequences of that success now because there are many people that will be experiencing who would for the 1st time. so i think that there's also an issue here that we could see not, not just myself, but other models predict that over a 1000000 people. i could end up dying from cove it as a result of not just this way, but the consequent waves that will emerge from the current outbreak. at least 8 people have died in heavy snow storms in north western japan. the powerful weather system started on saturday. snow drifts have caused traffic chaos, disrupted row by services, and cut the power to thousands of homes. more severe weather is forecast in the coming days. the eunice kim is following developments from south korea's capital. so a very dire story, at least 8 people, 8 deaths have been attributed to weather related conditions. many of them,
