hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. donald trump is on course to become the first president in american history to be impeached twice. the first president in american lawmakers in the house of representatives are expected to vote in an hour's time on whether donald trump incited insurrection against the united states. he must go, he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love. some key republicans say they will side with house democrats. this is one of them. last week, there was _ this is one of them. last week, there was a _ this is one of them. last week, there was a domestic _ this is one of them. last week, there was a domestic threat - this is one of them. last week, there was a domestic threat at | this is one of them. last week, i there was a domestic threat at the door of— there was a domestic threat at the door of the — there was a domestic threat at the door of the capital. and he did nothing — door of the capital. and he did nothing to stop it. that is why, with_ nothing to stop it. that is why, with a — nothing to stop it. that is why, with a heavy heart and clear resolve, _ with a heavy heart and clear resolve, i_ with a heavy heart and clear resolve, i will vote yes on these artictes— resolve, i will vote yes on these articles of— resolve, i will vote yes on these

his opponents, though, are making their case. here's democratic congressmanjim mcgovern the signal was unmistakable — these thugs should stage a coup so donald trump could hold onto power, the people's will be damned. this beacon of democracy became the site of a vicious attack. rioters chanted "hank mike pence" as a noose and gallows were built a stone's throw away from the capitol steps. capitol police officers were beaten and sprayed with pepper spray. attackers hunted down lawmakers to hold them hostage, or worse. republican dan newhouse from washington has said he too will vote to impeach donald trump. he told congress he and republican colleagues should have spoken out sooner against the president. there is no excuse — sooner against the president. there is no excuse for _ sooner against the president. there is no excuse for president _ sooner against the president. there is no excuse for president trump's action _ is no excuse for president trump's action he — is no excuse for president trump's action. he took an oath to defend

to settle scores against the old one. the white house press office has just released a statement from donald trump. it says... laura trevelyan is in washington. that statement is not entirely in line with some of the thing trump has been saying over the last few weeks? ~ , ., has been saying over the last few weeks? ~ , . , weeks? well, remember in a week's time, he weeks? well, remember in a week's time. he will — weeks? well, remember in a week's time, he will be _ weeks? well, remember in a week's time, he will be an _ weeks? well, remember in a week's time, he will be an ex-president. i time, he will be an ex—president. donald trump ran as the law and order president, and his final days in office have been consumed by this first of all, the mob trying to ransack the capital, now democrats in congress and some republicans too saying that mr trump was the one to cite that insurrection. he's now

trying to backpedal and distance himself, and condemn violence in all forms. but some damage has been done. and the really interesting thing is, how many republicans will vote to impeach him. the white house says they expect about 20 house republicans to vote to impeach him. we were hearing murmurings yesterday from the senate leader mitch mcconnell or people around him that he was pleased democrats were impeaching mr trump, even some suggestion he might look at perhaps the idea of allowing a trial before joe biden is inaugurated in a weak prospect time. but today, mcconnell has shut the door firmly on that. the senate isn't due to resume until 19 the senate isn't due to resume until i9january, so if donald trump is impeached in the coming hours by the house of representatives, no trial would begin in the senate until 19 january, which isjust the would begin in the senate until 19 january, which is just the day before biden's inauguration. so really, any trial of mr trump will be kicked intojoe biden's early

days as president, and that's a huge dilemma for democrats. they wantjoe biden to confirm his appointees, but they also want to hold donald trump accountable. we've heard joe biden talk about the idea of splitting the senate. but let's listen in now because one of the republicans who will vote to impeach trump is speaking out now. it is time to impeach. the gentleman from new york _ it is time to impeach. the gentleman from new york continues _ it is time to impeach. the gentleman from new york continues to - it is time to impeach. the gentleman from new york continues to reserve | from new york continues to reserve the german— from new york continues to reserve the german from _ from new york continues to reserve the german from ohio. _ from new york continues to reserve the german from ohio. ohio - from new york continues to reserve the german from ohio. ohio river. the german from ohio. ohio river democrat— the german from ohio. ohio river democrat reserves. _ the german from ohio. ohio river democrat reserves. the _ the german from ohio. ohio river democrat reserves. the children. the german from ohio. ohio river- democrat reserves. the children from new york? _ democrat reserves. the children from new york? . . democrat reserves. the children from new york? ., ., ., , democrat reserves. the children from newyork? ., ., ., ., new york? that man was not a democrat. _ new york? that man was not a democrat. he _ new york? that man was not a democrat, he was _ new york? that man was not a democrat, he was at _ new york? that man was not a democrat, he was at one - new york? that man was not a democrat, he was at one who i new york? that man was not a i democrat, he was at one who felt strongly about the storming of the capital and having to defend lawmakers. extraordinary how this siege on capitol hill a week ago has totally scrambled american politics in the closing days of donald trump

a cbs poll on wednesday morning found that 55% of people in america are in favor of impeaching donald trump, 45% are opposed. democrats are heavily in favor, 15% of republicans pulled also favored impeachment. but a vast majority of republicans believed the president did nothing wrong to deserve being forced out of office. i want what our next guest will say to that issue. deana bass williams is a republican strategist and former deputy chief of staff to housing, secretary ben carson. thank you forjoining us on the bbc, we appreciate it. would you choose to impeach the president? he. we appreciate it. would you choose to impeach the president? hmi to impeach the president? no, i would rrot _ to impeach the president? no, i would not choose _ to impeach the president? no, i would not choose to _ to impeach the president? no, i would not choose to impeach i to impeach the president? iirr, i would not choose to impeach the president. i do believe that over the last four years, the president has used rhetoric that has inflamed our base and, as a conservative and republican, i take responsibility for not having more aggressively

challenged the president and my social media space, the small influence that i have. i regret not being more vocal about that. but what we have right now is a situation where if we begin to control the social media feed of our elected officials the exact same language that elected officials that over the summer that also ignited burning of buildings, over 30 americans dead in the streets because of violence this summer, we are on a dangerous, slippery slope. there would be one moment... but if i could interrupt _ there would be one moment... but if i could interrupt you, _ there would be one moment... but if i could interrupt you, because - there would be one moment... but if i could interrupt you, because you say america is on a dangerous slippery slope. is that not exactly the argument to impeach the president because it's not appropriate to make claims that election fraud has occurred without offering any evidence, for example. i agree that you should not make those claims. on 16 may, 2017, our election was hijacked, there is no

question. congress has a duty to protect our democracy and follow the facts. that was from our speaker of the house, nancy pelosi on 16 may, 2017. we cannot allow partisan politics to tear this nation apart. we can look through the discourse in the language from leaders from the left and the right... iltlul’ith the language from leaders from the left and the right. . ._ left and the right... with respect if i could interrupt _ left and the right... with respect if i could interrupt you, - left and the right... with respect if i could interrupt you, the i left and the right... with respect ifi could interrupt you, the ideal if i could interrupt you, the idea that you are opposed to partisan politics secretary of country apart, having supported a president who is the most partisan politician in america arguably, his success comes from being partisan — it's difficult to accept you are now condemning the idea being partisan and saying let's not do this because we need everyone to come together. that's not what you've been pursuing for the last few years. it you've been pursuing for the last few ears. , ., few years. it is the left that continues — few years. it is the left that continues to _ few years. it is the left that continues to say _ few years. it is the left that continues to say let's i few years. it is the left that continues to say let's come | few years. it is the left that - continues to say let's come together as they call people like me a nazi sympathizer. it's the left that continues to say let's come together when they refuse to accept their

part in this divisive language, this divisive nature of our country. so if we talk about coming together and moving forward, we have to move forward. this president has seven days now to be in office. the statement that should be made is that yes, the riots over the summer, the outrageous breach on democracy that happened in our nature's capital must be condemned... hold on a minute, capital must be condemned... hold on a minute. so — capital must be condemned... hold on a minute, so those _ capital must be condemned... hold on a minute, so those things _ capital must be condemned... hold on a minute, so those things are - capital must be condemned... hold on a minute, so those things are being i a minute, so those things are being condemned from across the political spectrum. what's in focus here is the president repeatedly questioning the president repeatedly questioning the electoral process in a way that inflamed people's passions without offering any evidence whatsoever. it's a president who's used intemperate language towards his political opponents repeatedly, whose personal lawyer has said let's have trial by combat. at what point do you turn around and say you just made a mistake supporting this man and we need to show it's not appropriate to behave like this as

president? it is appropriate to behave like this as resident? , ., ., , , ., , ., appropriate to behave like this as resident? , ., ., , , ., ., president? it is not appropriate to behave like _ president? it is not appropriate to behave like this _ president? it is not appropriate to behave like this as _ president? it is not appropriate to behave like this as president, i i behave like this as president, i agree that this president's rhetoric has been harsh. but for this president to actually say... i think it's wrong, he led people astray. there wasn't enough fraud produced to show that the election was hijacked. but nancy pelosi said on may 16, hijacked. but nancy pelosi said on may16, "our election hijacked. but nancy pelosi said on may 16, "our election was hijacked." so my question is, why do we consistently hold this president to a different standard than our leaders on the left? i think right now, what america needs to do is we have got to move forward. i'm on bbc, the world is watching. we have to move forward and the only way we do that is to now say for nancy pelosi, for this president who has seven days — i know hejust pelosi, for this president who has seven days — i know he just made a statement, i hope for the next seven days, every hour he comes out and

makes a statement of peace. that's what has to happen right now. thank ou ve what has to happen right now. thank you very much _ what has to happen right now. thank you very much for — what has to happen right now. thank you very much for speaking - what has to happen right now. thank you very much for speaking to - what has to happen right now. thank you very much for speaking to us, on the bbc. the statement to which she's referencing has come out in the last hour from the white house, with donald trump imploring to all americans do not use violence to make their points in the coming days. the impeachment debate is taking place under massively increased security. these pictures have been widely shared showing national guard troops sleeping in corridors of the capitol, as legislators enterfor the debate — many of them cradling their weapons as they grab some rest. this was nancy pelosi arriving, walking past ranks of troopers. people are drawing comparisons between these images and last week when just a few police were defending the building from the mob. washington post reporter karoun demirjian tweeted... others have pointed out the plaque

on the wall you can see here, next to a bust of abraham lincoln — commemorating when troops were quartered inside the capitol during the civil war. lots of comparisons are being made — our north america editor jon sopel tweeted. .. larry madow is outside the capitol. give us more of a sense of the security situation where you are. this entire capital building and the grounds around it have become a fortress. there's temporary fencing that's gone all around it, which i have not seen in the time i've lived in washington, dc and the years i've been coming to washington, dc, it's never been this protected. this is all stemming from the events of last wednesday when the capital was stormed. i spoke to one individual who lives 1—2 blocks from here, and

he said this is heartbreaking for him to see, because one of the beauties of american democracy is that government institutions are open to the citizen. he runs past the supreme court in the white house, and all of these are now fortified because of the fear of violence. behind me, you see this last bit of fencing that's come up here, we have the washington metropolitan police here, secret service, other enforcement agencies from all around coming here to protect the inauguration, which might be the most protected in american history. i might be the most protected in american history.— might be the most protected in american history. i was going to ask, presumably _ american history. i was going to ask, presumably all— american history. i was going to ask, presumably all this - american history. i was going to i ask, presumably all this additional security will have some impact on the experience of attending it? absolutely, they aren't expecting a lot of people here. sorry about the ambulance, you may not be able to hear me. they may not have as many people coming here. in other inaugurations, around 200,000 invitations go out. people must

forget that now, they are now only allowing congressmen and senators to have one companion for the marketers —— inauguration. washington, dc, maryland and virginia are encouraging people not to come to the inauguration. the inauguration commission also encourages people not to come and watch from home. they're planning a virtual celebration, including a 90 minute primetime special. there will still be people in dc who are coming in, but they are trying to make sure that... there might be 20,000 national guardsmen on the streets of washington for the inauguration. ih washington for the inauguration. in the last minute of the programme, last week there was lots of analysis as to why the capitol police alone had to alone, the national guard didn't show up. there are now an array of different forces being deployed to the capital. absolutely, this has not been _ deployed to the capital. absolutely, this has not been designated - deployed to the capital. absolutely, this has not been designated as i deployed to the capital. absolutely, this has not been designated as a i this has not been designated as a national security event, which means

that the full power of the federal government — you're seeing troops, law enforcement agencies, the new york police department is sending some officers here to make sure this is as protective as possible. also, because somebody people flew in from other parts of the country, air b&b is canceling all bookings of the... thank you very much, larry is live with us from washington, dc. in the next week as we build up tojoe biden's inauguration, these pictures are lie from the house of representatives, just explain how this works, its a simple majority vote on impeachment. if there is one, we very much expect there to be because democrats control the house, the articles of impeachment would then move to the senate where they will be an impeachment trial. the voting there is much more complex because you need two thirds of votes in order for a because you need two thirds of votes in orderfor a president to be impeached. but this nonetheless is a

dramatic moment for america, and of course we will keep watching. hello. some heavy snowfall on the way for scotland and northern england overnight and into thursday morning. the met office is concerned the amount of snowfall will lead to disruption, and hence has issued an amberwarning. throughout the area, the primary concern is shaded in amber. this is not the whole area that could see some snow, but here are the heaviest falls, up to 20 cm across the highest ground, ten cm at lower levels — that's eight inches of snow. got a big bank of very cold air at the moment sitting across scandinavia, which just extends into the east of the uk. through wednesday, we've seen rain working its way across the uk courtesy of a weather front with mild air behind it. as it runs into the colder air, that's when things start to turn wintry, particularly as we move into thursday.

we could even see something wintry as far south as the midlands and east anglia through the small hours. ice will be a risk for scotland and northern england first thing on thursday. towards the west, it's just so much milder — some rain around, overnight lows at 9—10 celsius. for thursday, high pressure ahead of the front and behind the front. it's not going anywhere in a hurry, it'll just gradually weaken through the day. but that does still mean we've got cold air around with more snow to come on thursday for and northern england — perhaps as i said, a bit of a wintry mixture further south, but largely rain as we look towards the southeast of england. it will take until the evening, though, for the snow to really fizzle out. it'll be a cold day, ice will be a problem as well because in some areas, temperatures will be no higher than around freezing. further west, 11 celsius in plymouth, some sunshine to the west as high pressure starts to build in for thursday afternoon. that extends right the way across the uk thursday night into friday. a cold start to friday, more

than likely an icy one for many. fog in some places too, which will stick around throughout the day, just lifting into a lot of great, low cloud which will peg the temperatures back. —— grey cloud. so i think some areas will sit around freezing through friday — generally a cold day for the majority, 3—4 celsius in the south, perhaps seven to the west. saturday, we bring in another weather system from the atlantic, bringing rain but also milder air and snow as it transitions across sunday, the quieter of the two days for the weekend ahead.

"ii2 president must be impeached and impeachment is necessary. ii2 president must be impeached and i believe the president must be convicted by the senate and the constitutional remedy that to ensure the public will be safe from this man who was so resolutely determined to tear down the things that we hold dear. and that told us together. tam dear. and that told us together. tom mcclintock. — dear. and that told us together. tom mcclintock. a — dear. and that told us together. tom mcclintock, a republican against impeachment as you will hear. ii impeachment as you will hear. if this week we set some dangerous new precedents— this week we set some dangerous new precedents that will haunt us for years— precedents that will haunt us for years to — precedents that will haunt us for years to come. yesterday, we redefined — years to come. yesterday, we redefined speech as a physical incapacity requiring removal from office _ incapacity requiring removal from office. today, we define it as a high _ office. today, we define it as a high and — office. today, we define it as a high and misdemeanor. at the moment, any member—

but [i have expressed some openness to the possibility, mitt romney of utah, ben sasse of nebraska, lisa murkowski of alaska and pat toomey of pennsylvania and according to the new york times — as many as 20 are said to be open to the idea. they include senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. in its article the new york times says, mitch mcconnell has concluded that president trump committed impeachable offenses and believes that democrats' move to impeach him will make it easier to purge mr. trump from the party. maybe with us from capitol hill. help us as best you can let the timings. what are we expecting to happen the next of hours? thea;r timings. what are we expecting to happen the next of hours? they are currently debating _ happen the next of hours? they are currently debating and _ happen the next of hours? they are currently debating and it's - happen the next of hours? they are currently debating and it's sounding more rancorous than it started out. a lot of the defenders of donald

trump standing up and speaking now. that should last another hour or so and then they will move to a vote on whether or not to impeach donald trump. as you said we are expecting that their votes will come out. yes the democrats do have the numbers for that, just a simple majority needed. for that, 'ust a simple ma'ority needed. �* , ., ., . ., needed. beyond the article of impeachment _ needed. beyond the article of impeachment which - needed. beyond the article of impeachment which makes i needed. beyond the article of. impeachment which makes the arguments, do they have to offer any evidence to back up the claims they make? , . , evidence to back up the claims they make? , ., , ., , ., make? usually, there would be an investigation. _ make? usually, there would be an investigation. escaped _ make? usually, there would be an investigation. escaped what i make? usually, there would be an investigation. escaped what would j make? usually, there would be an i investigation. escaped what would be the first phase. the democrats have put together a document outlining what they have as evidence of that. i suppose they would also say we the evidence last week has played out here. that is of the criticisms that the republicans have made. that they have not had the usual opportunity to see evidence and the normal standard investigation and does not meet the bar that would usually have

to be met. up until now there had been suggestions that the house of representatives would give president—electjoe biden his first 100 days in the white house before delivering the articles of impeachment to the senate. but speaking in an msnbc interview earlier today the house majority leader steny hoyer said "there is no reason why we can't send it this week... we intend to do that." there may be some people watching who wonder how it's possible for the democrats to skip some parts of their regular process and something thatis their regular process and something that is so unbelievably important? that is what some republicans are asking. what democrats are saying is that this is so important, this is so egregious that it needs to happen. there is some historical precedent that says a president can be impeached after he has left office. i personally have found the

whole debate and the speculation of the timing so fascinating and so interesting because the one thing thatjoe biden would really like to avoid if a situation where he is unable to confirm his cabinet because the senate is tied up with the impeachment hearings. last week we heard that the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said no, we cannot hold that child before the 20th. bend over the weekend we heard the democrats might make a hundred days. then we heard on monday that perhaps it might happen earlier. today, we had mitch mcconnell, his spokesperson has confirmed that they would not be convene the senate before the 19th. it looks like we're back to situation where it's going to happen at least after the inauguration. joe biden had been hoping to reach a solution where they would be able to do both simultaneously. the trail at one part of the day and the confirmation of his cabinet another act later on

in the day. it goes to show the kind of conundrum that he is a him and wanting to see donald trump as it were held to some kind of penalty for what has happened but also wanting to get on with governing. if we turn away from the debate for a moment, we had seen some extraordinary pictures in the last 24 extraordinary pictures in the last 2a hours of the scheme of the security operation, notjust around the capital but inside as well. we are seeing people here from the security services dozing on the floor, what is it like where you are and what is and i can find the building? i and what is and i can find the buildin: ? . , and what is and i can find the buildin: ? .,, . , and what is and i can find the building?— and what is and i can find the buildin. ? .,, ., , , ~' building? i was really quite shocked when i came — building? i was really quite shocked when i came rip _ building? i was really quite shocked when i came up here _ building? i was really quite shocked when i came up here this _ building? i was really quite shocked when i came up here this morning. | when i came up here this morning. just seeing so many armed troops around here and on the one hand it does make you think at least they are taking security seriously. the troops that you saw sleeping on the floor less because they were getting ready to be in place for this morning. they are armed. it also a

little bit disconcerting because it's a reminder of what happens here last week. i was here broadcasting live on air with —— we were told we had to shelter in place because there was a security issue. i think it's mixed emotions about the impact. one colleague of mine who is an american said this is unbelievable to see in the seat of democracy armed troops walking around like that, that this is where we are right now.— we are right now. that's set where america will _ we are right now. that's set where america will be _ we are right now. that's set where america will be for— we are right now. that's set where america will be for the _ we are right now. that's set where america will be for the next i we are right now. that's set where america will be for the next week| america will be for the next week because between now and inauguration day it's hard to imagine the security will be reduced in any way. in a few minutes he returned to the uk and have a report from some hospitals here as that country experience is its highest death toll since the pandemic began. over 1500 deaths have been recorded in the last 2a hours.

well the guidance says it means "remaining in the village, town, or part of the city where you live." but rules vary across the uk. in scotland, the law says must not travel 5 miles beyond your local authority. in northern ireland, there's an advisory 10 mile limit. in wales, the law says exercise must start and finish at home. and in england — well, the issue drew attention when last week two women drove five miles in separate cars to go for a walk and were fined. my colleague phil mackie covered the story. police released a statement in english a seems to say that if you have to drive somewhere to take exercise then that's not local. but actually cars can be used in some cirucumstances. this is one of the women who was fined. there cannot be a great area when it comes to what people are allowed to do and because it is a lifeline for some people so for people that are struggling they don't want to be going out and thinking i may be the police practice? since then both women have received an apology and had their fines cancelled. but grey areas remain. on friday last week,

the national police chief's council told us "uk government guidance strongly requests that people do not leave their local area. it went on... the search for a definition of local escalated when the prime minister boris johnson was seen cycling in the olympic park — roughly seven miles from his home in downing street. was that against the rules? no.10 said it wasn't. speaking the nexr day, health secretary, matt hancock agreed. it is ok to go if you went for a long walk and ended up several miles away from home. that is ok but you should stay local. you should not go from one side of the country to another taking the famous with you. the questions though keep coming. next to take this on is the chair of the national police chiefs' council on tuesday. ido i do not think we are in a position where we want to set a particular distance because how would if a

police officer stopped someone, how would you prove that a person is within or outside that distance? though remember scotland has set a distance in law. and whether a good idea or not, a smartphone can quickly calculate how far you are from home. now given everything i've shown you, inevitably policing minister, kit malthouse has been asked about this. he describes the point we've reached in these terms. i understand that this is a such a good moment. for those of you outside the uk, that refers to a 48—hour period late last year where uk political discourse was, to some extent, dominated by whether a scotch egg — breaded sausage meat around a hard boiled egg — constitued a "substantial meal" — that was because, at the time, you could only go to the pub if you also ate a meal. anyway, whether this is a scotch egg moment is beyond my remit. but this is the minister on the issue of distance. it depends on where you are. obviously seven miles it would be different areas. but not in others was his point. so seven miles may be local for one person but not for another. and this is mr malthouse�*s

explanation for this approach. u nfortu nately we unfortunately we cannot legislate for every single game in distance but we are trying to do is get people the notion there is a thing of staying close to your home, of exercising on the outside of going out for one of those reasons are broadly containing yourself only and not interacting with your fellow being and not therefore assisting in the spread of this virus. which is why, in england at least, the precise definition of "staying local" is for you to decide, rather than the government. let is returned to our lead story. the debate continuing in the house of representatives and the lower house of congress. it is debating whether to impeach donald trump. it is happiness in. cm whether to impeach donald trump. it is happiness im— is happiness in. on january six, president _ is happiness in. on january six, president trump _ is happiness in. on january six, president trump wants - is happiness in. on january six, president trump wants to - is happiness in. on january six, president trump wants to but l is happiness in. on january six, l president trump wants to but not paid to urge my colleagues to unite. but to unite in love of country and

will happen in the next few hours and days but we will take you all the way through it. hello. the next office is concerned about the risk of disruption and consequently has issued an amber warning for heavy snowfall the reason for the heavy snowfall. he had a letter from trying to push across the uk. i had to pick a big bank of frigid air out of scandinavia and that's what turns the rain that was across the uk on wednesday i am just now. extending quite a ways out on thursday. we could see something a bit more wintry across the midlands and parts of east anglia. in terms of disruption it's the pain i'm that we

are anticipating that heaviest of the snowfall. 20 cm for some of the high ground. the front weekends on thursday but a lot of winter weather in the forecast anywhere from the midlands north it's like to add their towards the last and some sunshine for northern ireland and a high of 9 degrees. there the front does significantly weekend though the rain fizzles out and widespread frost will develop and for friday morning ice could be a problem and some dense patches of fog as well. high pressure builds but if you are stuck with something on the gloomy side even fog that leaps into low cloud the temperature will struggle to push up where you are. temperatures will hover around freezing throughout the day on friday. on the cooler side, highs of six or seven at best on friday. come the weekend to high pressure starts to sink away again. no pressure

trying to start in from the southwest accompanying this area of low pressure here. the low pressure will make some fairly significant inroads into england and wales. temperatures and some of the rain heavy and persistent. on monday it will be dry and bright with just a few scattered showers. the battle remains to be played out through the week. mild air close to the south and cold air to the north. later in the period from mid week it looks like they jet stream the period from mid week it looks like theyjet stream logo south putting us into cold arctic air with an area of low pressure sitting across the uk. further on into next week we could be facing the prospect of something winter yet again. don't forget that heavy snowfall in the short time.
