but everyone has the right. everyone has the right to say. i'm. the boss. this is the w. news live from berlin the u.s. president elect a joe biden says donald trump is squarely to blame for encouraging wednesday's attack on the u.s. capitol could see it come in. the past 4 years the red approach or the very descriptive term for democracy our constitution the rule of law clear

by i have called the scenes of writers forcing their way into the congress building one of the darkest days in the nation's history. following the unrest which temporarily disrupted congress's certification of biden's when top democrats are demanding consequences. house speaker nancy pelosi is calling on the vice president to invoke a constitutional amendment to their own trump unfit for office or she says congress will seek to impeach and. hello i'm kyra phillips and welcome to the show us a president elect joe biden has strongly condemned the violence siege of the capital by supporters of president donald trump the attack on an icon of democracy has raised many questions for one the failure of police to secure the complex and also trump's fitness to remain in office for the 2 weeks left until inauguration

day and what the republican party will look like once he goes meanwhile calls for trump's immediate removal from office are growing louder. and assault on the heart of american democracy. in the halls of congress. been attacked many here say was encouraged by the very man sworn to uphold the values in trying to the capital donald j. trump riders were driven into the people's house by trump's baseless claims of voter fraud in last year's election but make no mistake the file once we witnessed in this chamber today was the direct result of the poisonous laws that donald trump repeated again and again now a high ranking members of government have started to call for trump's removal from office including former allies in his own party. is this your president

cost us the president is on the fence and the president is on. and the president must now control the executive branch voluntary or involuntary the 25th amendment gives vice president pence and the cabinet the authority to remove trump from power but for now the vice president is staying tight lipped mr vice president would you support the 25th amendment gives president trump. you believe he should be removed from office after today sir. for her part speaker of the house nancy pelosi threatening to impeach trump should pence fail to act. as the clock runs out on trump's time in office america is more divided than ever before. with only one 4th of republicans saying they have faith in the american electoral system. a worrying legacy in one of the world's oldest democracies. and joining me now for more is cynthia miller address and she lectures on far right extremism at the american

university in washington d.c. and the f.a.q. for joining us what's remarkable is that for days before the storming of the capitol far right social media users had been posting hints of what was to come civil law enforcement take these signs too lightly. they absolutely took these signs too lightly i think we have i think this was an infuriatingly predictable event even if there wasn't an exact road map leading to it we've certainly seen the signs even prior to the last several days just over the past several months the same kinds of plots against government officials and governors we've seen assaults on local state capitals and with the kind of rhetoric the incendiary rhetoric and the refusal to accept their collection coming from the president. i think we should have predicted that this gathering would have the potential to turn violent now is this a case of domestic terrorism. this is a case of domestic terrorism but i think that it's also

a case of insurrection or sedition and you know one of the things people sometimes want to call it either direct domestic terrorism or militia violence or either domestic terrorism or white supremacist extremism and i think domestic terrorism is an act in which people are using political violence to terrify the public to create political change this clearly fits that definition the mayor of washington d.c. today put that definition up during a press conference and announced that it would be considered an act of domestic terrorism so we have clear indications of that but it also is an insurrection and that's the kind of organizational form of plots plotted violence against that's trying to kind of overthrow the government or or interfere with the democratic process the democratic process it is a both an insurrection and a domestic terrorism why are so few people calling it domestic terrorism. well i think people are reluctant to think there's a lot of confusion about what domestic terrorism means the lack of

a federal domestic terrorism statute in this country and the since 911 this with terrorism experts have been overwhelmingly focused on islamist and international terrorism and don't really have the right tools across law enforcement or cross agencies to discuss domestic terrorism particularly when you see something like this where what you had was a toxic mix of actors from across the far right spectrum so you have of course trump supporters there but we also saw human and supporters conspiracy theories you see people there wearing militia kind of insignia there's a wide variety of of actors they're people with neo nazi and white supremacist extremist tattoos and symbols so it's very difficult i think to disentangle that when we haven't built up the expertise in this country to understand it the way that a country like germany or others overseas have been focused on the social media networks have responded by banning trump from facebook and instagram and suspending him from a twitter how significant of a role does social media play as

a platform for different forms of extremism. social media plays an incredibly important platform in both in providing places for us for extremists to gather and communicate and plot and plan things but also for spreading misinformation and disinformation which is part of what happens in this case where you have a president retreating false information sharing false information other elected officials calling that the election is invalid promoting the idea that there's been massive voter fraud and refusing to accept an election and that kind of misinformation and disinformation when shared across social media that is not checking it feels like that lends a sense of legitimacy or mainstreaming to what really should be extreme and french ideas and he thinks a sense in the address at the american university in washington d.c. thank you for having me. well those images of rioting in the us created shock waves

around the world here in germany chancellor angela merkel has criticized president trump's persistent refusal to exception of members of the actual result and the consequences of that refusal our brussels correspondent teri schultz has more on the reactions of other european leaders to wednesday's events well certainly you know we've seen these reactions trickle in starting last night you've seen some of them there i think the 1st one that was remarkable to me was nato secretary general yen stoltenberg who is so hesitant to say anything about internal affairs of an allied country and he called out the scenes as shocking and said the election results must be respected but another thing that we should note is how few of these leaders actually called out president trump by name many of them said this is not america this is not what we expect from our american partners but so few of them said president trump is responsible among those who did were the irish foreign

minister simon company he said you know we have to call this what it is and that is a deliberate assault on democracy by a sitting president and his supporters so that makes it very stark how some leaders are seeing the view today of course this could not be done most likely if president trump wasn't on his way out of office or expectedly on his way out of office but some of them are now today saying by name president trump is responsible and he needs to take responsibility for these actions. well it's an update on the corona virus in the united states over 5000000 people have been inoculated the u.k. has immunized more than 1000000 but the european union hasn't been so fast out of the blocks one reason is a slower and more in-depth the vaccine approval process. the netherlands is the last steel country to begin vaccinating its population using the pfizer biotech vaccine the 1st approved for use in europe people like this nurse are only now

starting to get it it seems the dutch backed the wrong horse the government was expecting the vaccine developed by oxford university and astra zeneca to come on stream 1st. started it was no longer possible to adjust the planning accordingly that has to do with all the careful steps we wanted to take but we have succeeded in getting vaccinations started and they will not stop until the last person is vaccinated. the lot of us here to. france's cautious approach has left many furious only around 500 jabs were administered in the 1st week a complicated system of getting consent from patients is partly to blame. or think it will do all. you need something new and you have to get concerned. could we go faster without consent or not there are ethical questions and it's quite

complex. it's not as simple as just saying let's do this faster. all the. others in france point to bureaucratic delays slowing the rollout of the vaccine in denmark has got off to a strong start leading european vaccination numbers one reason nurses can extract more vaccines profile by measuring doses carefully for so-called. that means we can do it faster than we thought we could it would be. mark is also spacing out the gap between the 2 required doses of vaccine allowing more people to get a 1st injection sooner. for the moment some states immunizing much faster than others but on wednesday the european commission gave final approval to a vaccine developed by the u.s. pharmaceutical giant. well composed in the fight against corona virus.

and to turkey now where president wretch of tayyip erdogan is facing a rare challenge hundreds of students have ignored police warnings and marched across istanbul in protest of everyone's appointment of a loyalist as a head of an elite university and show defiance on the streets in a nation where public dissent is barely tolerated. police offices outnumber students at the entrance to istanbul's was it she university whoever wants to get on campus is very carefully checked. it's been like this since earlier this week when news of the surprise appointment of a state approved director started in. one of technique most respected and most liberal universities sealed off by police offices and was a cannon's conveying a strong message that protests won't be tolerated here many students say that despite the shortcomings of turkish democracy this universe it's still

a work of faith haven for academic freedom and many fear that will. to no longer be . the new man on the job. was never a faculty member at was a chief he has run in elections as a candidate for the ruling party and is considered a loyalist of president dredge a type of ad that's why many view his appointment as a provocation. i know that by heart i am a physicist i know that a scientist needs freedom to think freely we don't need autocrats. and academic institution needs to be independent it should not be managed by someone with a clear political agenda was going to. get a count instead of suppressing us like this and making young people want to leave the country they should support us and encourage freedom of speech to get.

the government has had no patience with the protest as on monday students clashed with police and officers fired tear gas to disperse the crowd. at such. acts since then dozens of young people have been detained in nightly raids more reminiscent of anti-terrorism operations. president and one has appointed about 30 university rectors by decree since last year alone. he rejects any criticism. when national news but on top duty the president has discretion for this within the laws therefore the accusation that academic autonomy and freedom are being destroyed is invalid. if it gets out get said legal because it was the boy wasn't she students see it differently they remain

concerned and are taking their protests off campus to other sites in istanbul. gone and your mind off the top story we're following for you the white house is facing calls for president donald trump's removal a day after a violent mob a stormed the capitol democrats are urging the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment to remove a trump from office. that's all from you for now stay tuned for deja vu news africa except watching. my 1st vice like moses sewing machine. icon for all women are almost by this social influence even something as simple as learning how to write a by psychos isn't. since i was in the good i wanted to have advice i'd lost my home but it took me years to going by this. finally they gave up and winter by

young guys i guess but returns with the silly machine sewing i suppose was more appropriate for girls than writing advice as no i wanted to reach all of those woman back home who are bones by their duties and social rules and inform them of old dead basic rights my name is the about of the hook and a war z. visa. and this is due to the news africa on the program today he said political tension and gonna on the day of the president's inauguration parliaments descended into chaos soldiers had to be called in to break up clashes between m.p.'s what is the reason for the tension. and how doctors are improvising in order to save lives

in south africa and lay a deadly 2nd wave of covert 19 is clearly state. hello i'm krissy window it's good to have your company and then our crew for our door has been sworn in for a fresh term as president in ghana he narrowly won reelection in the virtue on december 7th last year now ahead of his inauguration there were scenes of chaos in the country's parliament clashes between opposing parties erupted after lawmakers seized the ballot box joining a vote for the parliament speaker eventually the army was forced to intervene to stop the violence. and for more on this we've invited is to armand to the program she's a political commentator in ghana and joins us from accra good to see you so as we just saw the clashes breaking out in parliament just ahead of the president's

wearing in what is feeling this tension. so we have had a challenging and divisive political season the. presidential campaigning in the context amid the backdrop of the devastation of coded the lockdown the pandemic has absolutely fuel political tensions and so we've seen that explosion on the streets the culminated into scenes that would have triggered trauma for thousands and thousands of gagnon's who lived through the military coups of 966-979-1981 to see soldiers in battle fatigue coming through into the seat of government and scenes of unrest would literally hearken back to history the ghana has long left behind but it also echoed in some instances what was happening with the military in ghana was happening with the citizens in

the united states of america so this global framework of i have read with politics and campaigning in this moment is step the president his inauguration president out of what i do is you know gratian is taking place even as hoff of the country doesn't accept his election victory. i don't know that half of the country doesn't accept the victory is a fair enough. reality suddenly the contesting of the results is not a new space for us here in ghana we have been here before it is not the contesting that's the issue it's the resolution of that contesting it is the choice finally for the m.d.c. to actually go through the legal framework which is which it is entitle to do and most importantly to desist from the kinds of violence on the streets that is traumatizing for millions of citizens who remember what this violence spoke to and

treated is under arrest it's a utility we don't see it you said it yourself that this was a very divisive election there were reports of violence 5 people were killed how did it get service in ghana this is the country hailed as the beacon of democracy in africa. so you know to be clear we always have to talk about nations not in the context of some political democratic utopia ghana is a nation in put in context it's a nation with a history of political violence and thankfully there has been a peacefulness for many many years but we have to put what happened from this election season in the context of a pandemic that has absolutely devastated the economy and made the just the environment much more fraught when you stitch together those realities then the events of this violence are not surprising but it makes them no less disturbing right is to before my next question which is going to play

a couple of views from ordinary guy names talking about what they see as the main challenges for the new president. club should. he promised to fight against it so. he knew and i think using his best clothes he said human being in a game he can do everything just for us all with those 4 years we will. you got a better. job job you know. we all want jobs. jobs. those policies that president. 3. 3 senior high school. i mean. granted. a lot of i think. he called you know. a lot of

people really appreciate. that we had so we've had a as state jobs corruption education important to the people we've just listened to what more can you tell us about what president now before i don't need to prioritize and do in his next 5 years. when we think specifically about the economy i think we need to double down not just on the real importance of jobs but the kinds of jobs that are being created what does it mean to strengthen an infrastructure around issues of health of mining what does it mean to think about an entrepreneurial power an entrepreneur an economy that centers women 32 percent of gun is nation and who dominate when it comes to actually employing people but who are also always locked out of access to finance issues that are longstanding and that have been exacerbated by the pandemic so yes

jobs corruption is a longstanding issue that always requires being tackled but the pandemic off was gonna an opportunity to reimagine an economy that center has the absolute flourishing of indigenous expertise indigenous activity women and use and those are the specific areas that i think the president needs to focus on not. not more rhetoric but the reality of reimagining that because of the pandemic all right that's esther on the talking to us. thank you esther. south africa has ordered 1500000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine to inoculate the country's health because a more contagious corona virus variant in the country is driving a 2nd wave of infections overwhelming hospitals this week deaths from 19 so possed 30000. visited a hospital in cape town where doctors are having to improvise to save lives. all

over the world. this isn't a waiting room it's the treatment room for qubits patients at the hospital in khayelitsha one patient calls out to us to tell us she'd been sitting and waiting for 3 days waiting for a bed to become free next door you've been reduced to going to do with the dimbleby that were distributed throughout the world who were told to. dr susan you can call it has been working here for 9 years and this pandemic is pushing him to his limits the 3rd of his colleagues here have already had the virus how do you feel to be offered a little sometimes you feel for those who don't have enough for street from from we don't give enough who've been there we need you already and you know do you want to be difficulty doing something you drew. do you do you prove to the books you just

said you should we just don't start something really stupid just. on average one person with coverts dies in the hospital every day there's a small room next door with somewhat better beds for acute patients waiting for an intensive care bed at another hospital. the low. health minister at mit's that not everyone can get an i.c.u. bed most are already full if that person was there but then i see. that instead of number 2 you didn't cry oh i see you it really does what he says but it's also why so this is actually the waiting all the waiting area off the hospitals where people would normally wait for their treatment but you can see it people who come here with non-coverage related issues emergencies are being treated here because they need the space on the other side of the building for potential cover cases. south africa meanwhile has reintroduced tougher lockdown measures

there's a stricter mosque requirement alcohol sales are bans and beaches have been closed but police are overwhelmed with enforcing the rules. only patients over the age of 45 find now being tested at the state clinics the demand is overwhelming. here in viral load just devolved on kaiser's laboratory every 2nd test is positive the peak of the 2nd wave is expected in south africa in mid january but even after that experts anticipate further waves. i fear that neither the current. that we are experiencing no nor the rival of the vaccine sometime in 2 half way through 2021 for a small proportion of the population will be able to make a big difference the government announced it is already in talks with the

manufacturers but there are no details yet. back in the chair however there is hope initial studies show that during the 1st wave up to 40 percent of residents were already infected and possibly even immune social distancing remains impossible for many here. dr i'm calm cool and his team they are forced to bracing for a tough few weeks ahead of them. now orthodox christians around the world are celebrating christmas today including communities in ethiopia eritrea sudan and egypt but for some today's celebrations will be maad by hardship almost to $60000.00 a.v.o. pins effluent fighting in the northern to grab region since november crossing into neighboring so done after months in makeshift refugee camps today they're facing a tough christmas. it's far from a happy christmas for these ethiopian refugees after fleeing violence in ethiopia

distribution. welcome to the show i'm seeing beardsley in berlin it's good to have you with us well the fallout continues from wednesday's mob attack on the u.s. capitol by supporters of donald trump with several of the president's aides and a cabinet member resigning a new calls for trump's impeachment 4 people died during the violent protests and 68 have so far been arrested according to washington d.c. police trump had encouraged supporters to march on the capitol where a joint session of congress was certifying joe biden as president elect. american industry groups and corporate executives also condemned wednesday wednesday's violence among them the business roundtable the group of chief executives from some of the nation's largest companies it called on the president and other officials to put an end to the chaos and create a peaceful transition of power the organization tweeted that the chaos unfolding in the nation's capital is the result of unlawful efforts to overturn the results of

a democratic election the country deserves better. also a strong statement coming from the national association of manufacturers which put out a press release calling on quote the armed thugs to cease violence at the capitol they said and i quote vice president pence should seriously consider working with the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendments to preserve democracy the 25th amendments allowing members of the president's cabinet to remove the president from power so some pretty strong statements there and with that we go to yes quarter our financial correspondent in new york for more on this hi there a tumultuous day in washington as we've all seen many times over those pictures very very striking how are business leaders taking this. you know clearly a disturbing images that we have gotten out of washington d.c. and we also got a lot of remarks from business leaders from trade groups from union members so one

business leader actually even apologizing for voting for donald trump this november we had the news from facebook that they're actually blocking any posts from the u.s. president to donald trump at least till inauguration day for joe biden on a generally in 20 years those business leaders asking for a unity hoping to bringing the u.s. population together and hoping for a peaceful transition it's you mentioned on a generally at 20 as i'm having that said it's also interesting to see that we did not really get a lot of opposition from those business leaders in the past couple of years quite the contrary actually even if they were not necessarily always in sync with the style of the still current administration but they did take advantage of some of the policies like those huge tax cuts that we've gotten also. were less regulation

but now obviously there is this fear that democracy is on the line and finally we've gotten some pretty harsh comments from some of those business leaders trade groups and union members those tax cuts a big part of trump's term what's been easy to overlook in all the madness of the past day of course was the democrats secure a majority in the senate that changes the outlook on joe biden's economic policy possibilities enormously doesn't it. it definitely does and i would say a couple of days or weeks ago hardly anybody would have guessed that and now the democrats do not just to have the presidency but also the majority in congress and that doesn't make it much easier for the biden administration to get their agenda surulere one might be higher texas especially for the wealthier americans also there is talk about a mess of infrastructure programs a clean and energy projects joe biden was talking about just in that area to create

about 10000000 jobs in the future i have to say joe biden is going to be the 6 presidents that i experience here since i came to the united states and infrastructure spending always has been a hot topic but little actually has happened at least in the last 20 plus years that i've been here but what is astonishing is that there was so much talk recently if democrats should take over congress that this would be better for the stock market but now everybody is talking about more aid packages more money for the u.s. economy and the stock market is going from one all time high to another even technology stocks in form of the nasdaq composite to today for the very 1st time ever service 13000 points so clearly animal spirits everything goes up at the moment. with the latest from new york thank you very much. and we go over to europe where german biotech for firm cure vaca is in the advanced

stages of producing a vaccine against covert 19 it's now linking up with fellow german pharma company buyer to help develop and distribute rather the drug and the corporate giant will also assist in getting the m.r. in a base vaccine approved expects 1st results from its phase 3 clinical study by the end of march it hopes to supply hundreds of millions of jobs once it's ready or financial correspondent chelsea delaney says the move looks to be secure vacs advantage. this partnership will give care of a very experienced partner in the pharmaceutical space very young and small german biotech firm they only have about 500 employees and byers one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world they have a lot of experience developing drugs getting them approved by regulators and producing and distributing them as well so developing the technology and hopefully a buyer will help them really up the supply once this is approved by regulators we've seen these partnerships really popping up all across the pharmacy including

the partnership between biotech and pfizer here in germany in the u.s. which is produce the 1st approved back seen here in europe but it also. a big supply crunch for vaccines in europe so the e.u. is really counting on this vaccine to be available in the next coming months so this will hopefully help us speed the production and distribution of. our financial correspondent chelsea delaney there from frankfurt let's take a look now at some of the other business stories making headlines germany's main stock exchange index has risen to its highest ever level breaking above 14000 points for the 1st time the blue chip dax index has rocketed over 70 percent from last year's low investors are hoping u.s. economic stimulus measures will boost demand for german goods. because it is continuing its amazing rally climbing over $40000.00 on thursday
