on chinese fashion. donald trump's days in power are numbered asjoe biden prepares to be inaugurated — but many democrats want mr trump out sooner. a resolution has gone to the house floor calling for the cabinet — led by the vice president, mike pence — to strip donald trump of his presidential powers. the house of representatives is expected to vote on the resolution on tuesday. the democrats have also started the process of impeaching the president for an unprecedented second time. brendan boyle is a democratic congressman from philadelphia who says he's confident the house will vote to impeach the president. am a co—spons

and i am a co—sponsor of that resolution and i'm hopeful that we will have some republican votes as well. if we are not going to impeach a president, even though he only has about a week and a half a left and his term of office, if we are going to impeach a president over incitement of insurrection, that i don't know what exactly would mirror impeachment. bryan lanza is a republican strategist who served with president trump's 2016 campaign. he says he's not surprised by the impeachment bid. —— wita —— wit a merit insurrection. democrats have been talking about impeaching president trump for four yea rs. at impeaching president trump for four years. at this point they know how to do it and then i had to do it faster now. that may be a good thing and also a dangerous thing. you can't really suspend due process of an american president for these matters. that just goes an american president for these matters. thatjust goes to show you that the start of craziness we find oui’ that the start of craziness we find our democracy in right now, whatever extreme position you want whether it is challenging the president or supporting the president now seems to be carrying the line.

0ur north america correspondent barbara plett usher is in washington. bring us up to speed with the latest on this impeachment process. yes. the democrats in the house of representatives that they introduced articles of impeachment, one crime noted, the incitement to insurrection. they also asked republicans to unanimously consent toa republicans to unanimously consent to a resolution calling on the vice president to take steps to remove mr trump. he would have to invoke the 25th amendment of the constitution to do that and republicans wouldn't go along with that. so now we will see a series of votes on both of theseissues see a series of votes on both of these issues over the next couple of days, the democrats will probably vote tomorrow on this resolution, demanding mr pence follow through on this constitutional way of removing mrtrump, they this constitutional way of removing mr trump, they will give them 2a hours, he is unlikely to take it. and after that, there will probably

vote on the articles of impeachment which would likely happen on wednesday, the house leaders have called onto the lot makers to return so called onto the lot makers to return so that they can carry out these photos. after the vote on impeachment it would go to the senate for a trial but that is where all of the uncertainty is with what i have to right away or later because even if it went to the senate immediately, there's almost no chance of the trial starting before the inauguration. that inauguration is on the 20th. more detail emerging of a massive security operation there. yes. massive security operations because the fbi has warned that armed groups are planning protest in state capitals around the country but also in washington that the messages that are being posted on encrypted websites and message apps are talking about people coming, the extreme supporters of mr trump planning to come with arms at two stage violent protests so they are taking quite significant security

steps. every time there is an inauguration the secret service does lockdown the downtown part of the capital but usuallyjust the day before, now they would do it a whole week before so starting wednesday enclosing large weights of the city downtown they are bringing in extra troops, 6000 national guards already here, 10,000 by the weekend. they will have a joint command centre to make sure that the different armed groups and then forces are coordinating with each other although a complicating factor there being that the head of the department of homeland security who is supposed to be leading are coordinating thisjoint is supposed to be leading are coordinating this joint command has just announced a little while ago that he plans to resign effective by the end of the day. so it is a massive security operation but there is this sense of it being unprecedented and also the sense of chaos that continues. briefly, mr trump has been a polarising figure all the way through his time in power but talk us through some of the boycotts of the top empires, and

what the backlash has been towards mrtrump and some what the backlash has been towards mr trump and some group. -- trump empire. the one that matters most to mrtrump is are empire. the one that matters most to mr trump is are the ones against his golf course as you know. the pga has said it is not going to hold the championship at his golf course in newjersey championship at his golf course in new jersey bedminster. championship at his golf course in newjersey bedminster. the rna, the golf ruling body and said it will not hold championship status golf course in scotland. so that will be something that really hits mr trump hard. 0therwise, something that really hits mr trump hard. otherwise, you have a series of companies and banks and taking state m e nts of companies and banks and taking statements about their funding, about nine of them at least have said they are not going to give donations to lawmakers who voted against certifying the results of the election. those include at&t, marriott, that sort of thing and a couple of banks, big banks of said they will suspend their donations to political parties come all political parties while they look at how lawmakers responded over the past

week. the first 36 month they will suspend all donations. barbara, thank you very much. american officials are trying to ramp up the pace of vaccinations across the nation as covid—19 hospitalisations surpass 100,000 for a0 days in a row. in the uk, they have reached worst point of the pandemic. its health secretary says by the end of the month, the places offering vaccines will be dramatically expanded so that everyone in england will live within ten miles of one. our medical editor fergus walsh reports. waiting patiently in line. health care workers in newcastle. the over 80s in bristol. manchester, london and birmingham, among seven mass covid vaccination centres which opened today in england. i've lost a lot of relatives, so i needed to show people

that there is nothing wrong with the vaccine. it has been tested and we need to get the vaccine. we have grandchildren, great grandchildren, and to not be able to see them is really hard. i feel very relieved. i feel this is the way back, i really think that — i can't understand anybody, you know, not wanting to have it. are you getting the astrazeneca or the pfizer jab? astrazeneca. the prime minister, in bristol, said the uk had immunised more people than any country in europe, but the sense of urgency is palpable, with hospitals close to being overwhelmed by covid patients. it's a race against time, because we can all see the threat that our nhs faces, the pressure it's under, the demand in intensive care units, the pressure on ventilated beds, even the shortage of oxygen in some places.

by the end of the month, the promise is everyone in england will be within ten miles of a vaccination centre. for now, some are travelling much longer distances and braving the cold, such is the demand to get protected. the vaccine programme is our way out of this pandemic, but it won't have an effect unfortunately for a month or two. so in the meantime, the nhs is under really intense pressure. 0ur hospitals are filling up with people with covid, and we have to reverse that. these mass immunisation centres will be open from eight till eight, seven days a week, part of the biggest vaccination drive ever in the nhs. the aim is to offer a first dose of covid vaccine to up to 15 million people by mid—february. that's all over—705, front line health and social care workers, plus people who are currently shielding.

a steady supply of vaccine is vital. this gp‘s surgery in midlothian is one of over 1,000 in scotland now offering immunisation. in wales, where there has been some criticism of the speed of roll—out, ministers say all over—50s will be offered a covid vaccine by the spring. fergus walsh, bbc news. indonesian authorities say they will work around the clock until every victim of saturday's plane crash is found. they have pinpointed the location of the black boxes and hope to retrieve the vital evidence by using specialised equipment. 0ur reporter freya cole has the latest. it is a delicate and sensitive operation. piecing together parts of the ill—fated plane which crashed into the ocean on saturday. along with the metal and mechanics are people's belongings, bags of clothing, the sorry sight

of life jackets. 62 people were on board, including several young children. authorities have found some human remains and say it is their priority to make sure everybody is accounted for. translation: we will do everything to meet the needs of the families until all the victims of flight sj—182 are found. this flight attendant is the first victim to be identified. he was age 29. flight data have revealed the plane dropped more than 3000 metres in less than a minute shortly after take—off from jakarta airport. an ocean surveillance vessel is set to join the search efforts with the help of retrieving the black boxes. with the hope of retrieving the black boxes. a discovery which will shed some light on the dark moment which claimed the lives of all those on board.

the execution of the first female inmate, in a federal prison, in nearly 70 years. lisa montgomery has been in prison for 16 years, for the murder of a pregnant woman, bobbiejo stinnett, in the state of missouri. montgomery's lawyers, and campaigners against the death penalty, argue she's mentally ill, and a victim of abuse who deserves mercy. 0ur correspondent hilary andersson travelled to the scene of the crime, a warning, it includes distressing details of the crime and the background of the woman who committed it. it was midwinter, and midday, 2004, as lisa montgomery drove to the town of skidmore through the desolation of western missouri. in herjacket, a rope and a small knife. in this house lived 23—year—old bobbiejo stinnett. she was heavily pregnant.

lisa had come for her unborn child. bobbiejo's motherfound her body. lisa had strangled bobbiejo, cut into her womb and extracted the baby. witnesses still struggle to speak of it. this case haunts those of us that worked it. this is a devil come back to... earth in disguise as lisa montgomery. this was meticulously planned. lisa had studied c—sections on the internet. she had come prepared with a syringe and clamp. the baby survived. so, this is it, where she is buried.

bobbie jo's friend karen, like many americans, wants no mercy. when lisa was sentenced to death, how did you feel about that? yes! you want to see her put to death? yes, i do. yes, i do, in fact, if i could pull the switch, i would do it. absolutely. but is lisa montgomery evil orjust a broken woman? lisa grew up in a child's hell. her mother, judy, beat and abused her. she would duct tape her mouth shut if she was too loud or annoying or for any form of punishment. it would repeatedly happen. lisa's new lawyers say the abuse went even further. at 15, in a trailer, her stepfather, they say, began to sell her for sex to friends and repairmen. lisa was gang raped. so the plumbers were coming in and having sex with her, and they would hit her

if she did it wrong. or if they needed electrical work, "hey, i've got a daughter here you can have sex with." it went on for years, years, years, years. lisa now has been diagnosed with mental disorders that make her delusional. yes, was she doing the act? she was. but she was not mentally there, doing it. she was dissociating. she's gone. she's not there. lisa's mental disorders have never been accepted as cause for leniency. many call them excuses. this is the prison, terre haute, indiana, where, unless there is a last—minute ruling or pardon, lisa will be killed by lethal injection. if lisa montgomery is led to her death here tomorrow, she will be the first woman

in almost 70 years to be put to death by america's federal government. the end of lisa's terrible and tortured life, one of president trump's final stamps on america. donald trump's already overseen the execution of more prisoners in a year than any president since the 1800s. protesters call it a killing spree. president—elect biden says he will abolish the death penalty but it may be too late for lisa. hilary andersson, bbc news. america's vaccine roll—out is well under way, with president—electjoe biden among those to have today received a second and final coronavirus vaccination. however, the process has been plagued by delays and challenges across the country, including concerns about the large amounts of doses that are being thrown away for various reasons. over the weekend, new york state changed the rules on who should get the vaccine,

to ensure no more doses to go to waste. joining me now from the state of rhode island is professor ashish jha, dean of brown university school of public health. thanks forjoining us here. it has over the most auspicious start, has it, despite the millions of doses? what has gone wrong? thank you for having me on. what is gone wrong is ourfederal having me on. what is gone wrong is our federal government did little to no planning, did and no real scenarios of how this was all going to work and did not put any resources into vaccine distribution. they have this belief that if they could just make the vaccines and get it states that it would magically appear into peoples arms and obviously doesn't work that way and we are obviously doesn't work that way and we a re really obviously doesn't work that way and we are really saying the last bit of incompetence of this current administration playing out in the rela of the vaccine. if this

bureaucracy? are these the wrong guidelines or talk us to your experience. you know somebody was tied up in the. yes. it is a combination of things. first of all, or something as complicated as getting hundreds of millions of americans vaccinated you will have to sketch out a lot of details and make sure there are enough resources , make sure there are enough resources, plans in place, none of those were put into place. 0nce vaccines got two states, states have been scrambling to come up with the rules of the road of how it will work and who will get vaccinated and how timeline and who will do the vaccination and states are making m ista kes vaccination and states are making mistakes as you might imagine. and they are putting in a time policy that are far too restrictive and so we are that are far too restrictive and so we a re really that are far too restrictive and so we are really saying quite a mess in terms of the roll—out. i do think it will get better but right now it is really not very good at all.|j suppose the other problem is the pfizer vaccine itself has to be stored in such cold temperatures, transportation is difficult that if there is a delay and something goes wrong that all goes to waste. that

yes. 0ne wrong that all goes to waste. that yes. one of the reasons why many of us yes. one of the reasons why many of us have called for a much more well planned centralised approach to supply chain of these. i find with different hospitals and clinics giving up the vaccine, but not every clinic should figure out this very complex supply chain and its own. in some amount of coordination by the federal government is really important here, but that is not happening right now. talk us through the financing of this as well. are these being provided free and are people able to buy them privately as well? you can't buy them privately right now. they are given free to patients. that is appropriate. given how valuable these vaccines are i don't know that it is important to be useful right now to get into a bidding warand be useful right now to get into a bidding war and these are all seen as public goods given to high risk individuals, but of course that also create jockeying by people who are well—connected who like to figure

out how to gain the system to get the dose. the inauguration of joe biden is coming on the 20th, we heard him say that covid—19 will be his priority. do you think things can be tweaked to improve this over the next few weeks and months? no doubt about it. we heard from president—elect biden's team is a seriousness to do this. the only thing i worry about is it will take some time. this is not something that on january 20 will some time. this is not something that onjanuary 20 will magically get better. it will take weeks to really undo some of the problems being left behind by the trump administration come and get new things in place. i am very confident in the weeks to come things will get better but it will take a little bit of time. professor, thank you very much forjoining us here. a new exhibit in singapore explores how the qipao or cheongsam, depending on whether you speak mandarin or cantonese, has evolved over the centuries, and looks at western influences on chinese fashion.

the figure—hugging dress is no longer a common sight on asian streets, though it's making a comeback as an evening gown at formal events. sarah toms has more. music. history in silk and embroidery at singapore's asian civilisations museum. this new, permanent gallery examines asia's cultural identity through a fashion lens, including the iconic qipao. the one thing to note about the qipao is that it is kind of a style of everyday dress. it was originally a loose garment worn in the chin dynasty from the 1600s onwards. it was only in the 1920s with the influences of western styles that it became the body hugging dress that we think of today. as a sort of basic part of the development of cultural, of human history and culture,

there has always been cultural borrowing. fashion houses carry on the tradition of cultural mixing by celebrating asian heritage but adding western twists. what is important for a woman now, contemporary woman, that can wear something that is traditional but at the same time more forward for the future, and cut it and it follows the body. lin has chosen the qipao as her wedding dress for its connection to her heritage. even though it is traditional, doesn't mean that it is old—fashioned. and my mom's family are very traditional so i think they will like it and like to see me and i feel proud to wear it. something that is traditional yet modernise and i still look trendy.

while it is common to see a qipao in everyday life, many women are slipping into one for a special occasion. traditionalists may see it as disrespectful to wear a dress was so much heritage if you are not chinese. but experts say it is no fashion crime as long as you are considerate of the culture. the question of cultural appropriation is a frequent conversation between anthony tan and his students. as long as you don't treat it like a caricature of the culture or like a costume, i think that it is totally acceptable because it shows your appreciation of the culture and the details on the garment that you like. for centuries, fashion has evolved with the world around it. stitching together designs from a wide range of influences. but as these young designers are all too aware, reaching into another‘s cultural closet must be done with respect. it is not appropriation, but all about appreciation. that is it for this edition of bbc

news. hello there. we've got a battle of the air masses taking place across the uk during this week. on monday, it was pretty mild, breezy for most, but today, it is brighter and sunny but colder. for many of us, that is away from the far southwest which will remain quite wetand mild. that plume of cold air has been moving southwards overnight and tuesday it will be across most of the country away from the southwest corner and where this weather front here will continue to bring outbreaks of rain. it is a cold bright icy start across much of scotland, northern england through the morning. we will see wintry showers affecting northeastern scotland, perhaps some north sea coasts being blown in on a cold wind. wales, southwest england stays rather dry, cloudy outbreaks of rain but mild

here as you can see temperatures in double figures, much more northern ireland, scotland, for most of england and wales to the north east, it will be bright and much chillier as temperatures in the low single digits. as we head through tuesday night, a cold one across eastern areas, perhaps frost around, rain west continue to slowly work its way eastwards. it could be heavy in places, bumps in the cold air and likely to see some sleet and snow on its leading edge, quite a contrast in temperatures to start wednesday from east to west. a bit of a complicated story going on across the middle part of the week, real battle of the air masses, the wedge of milder air with outbreaks of rain will be slowly pushing east and bumping into the cold air to the east of the uk. a bit of a headache to where the sleet and snow will be falling. but it could be very across central and western areas with low flooding place in as air, sleet and sleet and snow and particularly across the high

ground of central eastern scotland and eastern england as well and the far north staying dry again in a real temperature contrast from west to east. through wednesday evening and overnight, we could see some disruption from the snow across central, eastern and northern scotland and eastern england, but further west, it'll be mainly heavy rain. we have to stay tuned to the forecast because of still some uncertainty with it. as we move out of thursday and into friday, that weatherfront fizzles away as the pressure builds in, but we see a return to the blue colours, it will be turning colder. so that rain slowly fizzles out on thursday and also some wintry in eastern areas, mild in the south and drier and brighter and cooler on friday.
