6:03 am
an all out assault on our institutions of our democracy from the outset and yesterday it was but the culmination of that henri learning attack amid the aftermath even former allies have called for trump to be removed immediately. here's the truth president cost us the president is on said the president is anwar and the president must now control the executive branch voluntary or involuntary mr vice president vice president mike payne's who has the power to begin not removal process has said he will not do so the speaker of the house nancy pelosi is threatening to impeach trump for a 2nd time and citing sedition as he did yesterday he must be removed from office while it's only 13 days left. any day can be a horror show for america if history is any judge this would be the last act
6:04 am
for donald trump nor america. and let's get more from sam a texas based a journalist with politico and nightly welcome to day we've just heard of trump's comments saying that a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th is it fair to call this a concession speech. something like a concession speech president trump did have many options left after congress certified the electoral college to salt early on wednesday morning and he's been banned from social media he has members of his own cabinet resigning and so i think he saw the writing on the wall and realized that he really didn't have any other path left to a 2nd term and this attack on the capital on wednesday has raised all sorts of questions one of them is about the future of the republican party after trump is gone where does it all go from here. that is the question of the day so
6:05 am
147 republicans still objected to the electoral college results this is a number of house members and a handful of senators and so that means a pretty large number. of republicans who still believe that the election was or is saying arguing that the election was stolen away from president trump but at the same time like i said we see members of the president's cabinet resigning the transportation secretary and the education secretary both announced their resignation the other officers announced there as this ignition senate one more majority leader excuse me mitch mcconnell has sort of condemned the president's rhetoric and said joe biden will be the next president the united states so it's created a real rift in the party and i think what we're going to see moving forward is that rift continue to grow between establishment republicans who like over church and
6:06 am
republican party the way it was before president trump but they're going to be contending with a growing electorate a growing part of the electorate who believes that this election was stolen who who think that president trump and not in the wrong for for yesterday's violence that we saw and i think this will be a major conflict going forward and i think the way that congressional districts and all the seats are drawn in the u.s. it still gives a lot of weight to some of these potential outliers these these voters who think the election was stolen ones who still support president trump ones who support what they saw at the capitol yesterday they'll still have some weight but definitely we're going to see this within the party a lot of republicans who stood by the president today are leading him in that could be very simple there's 2 weeks left in this administration and they may think this is their chance to get out their reputations intact but i think. it shows that the
6:07 am
president's power is diminished a bit he no longer has a lot of this book and twitter and other mainstream social media sites and so it will be a big open question whether or not he has the same hole in the party whence he's out of office and i know that just briefly if you could are there going to be any consequences for the people who stormed the capitol on wednesday do you know if any arrests have been made. to have been a handful of arrests not very many i mean so i worked in the capital for my colleagues who work in the capital the security is really tight i mean there is not it's strict people have been arrested for far less offense far less egregious events. trying to do other things in the capital and so i think it's been really shocking to everyone to see that there have been so few arrests that so many people were allowed just stormed the capital enter the chambers go into the speaker's
6:08 am
office go into the congressional offices and there haven't been consequences i mean there was a guy. who took a picture of himself in speaker nancy pelosi is off this and he's headed on a bus back to west virginia and so i think that there will be consequences whether all of the people involved will be arrested in the major people want to be arrested they haven't been yet which has been pretty shocking thank you guys from politico nightly thank you very much for that update. thanks for having me. let's turn now to move others other stories making news around the world suspected a mastermind of the 2002 bali bombings that killed more than 200 people has been released from an indonesian prison authorities said cleric abu bakar bashir would enter a due radicalization program he's imprisoned in 2011 for his links to a militant training camp in a chip province. boeing will pay $2.00 and a half $1000000000.00 to settle a u.s. justice department probe into conspiracy charges related to 2 crashes of its

6:10 am
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 it 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 last of us here is. 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. for you yeah you need something new and you have to get consent. could we go
6:11 am
faster without consent or not i mean 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 rollouts of the vaccine. in denmark has got off to a strong start leaving 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 would be who. 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 e.u. states immunizing much faster than others but on wednesday the european commission
6:12 am
gave final approval to a vaccine developed by the us pharmaceutical giant. well composed in the fight against corona virus. and we go to turkey now where president tayyip erdogan is facing a rare challenge to hundreds of students have ignored police warnings and marched across istanbul in protest of everyone's appointment of a loyalist as head of a major university a show of defiance on the streets in a country where public dissent is tolerated the less and less. 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 to sink in. one of 10 people most affected and most liberal universities sealed off by police offices there was
6:13 am
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 university it's still a work of faith haven for academic freedom and many fear. that will soon no longer be the case. that the new man on the job. was never a faculty member at was a cheat he has run in elections as a candidate for the ruling party and is considered a loyalist of president dredger type of add 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 really. don't need autocrats but in those are called an academic institution needs to be independent it should not be managed by someone with a clear political agenda. yani a political ticker instead of suppressing us like this and making young people want
6:14 am
to leave the country they should support us and encourage freedom of speech we should mantissa get this get your. the government has had no patience with the protest as on monday students clashed with police and offices fired tear gas to disperse the crowd. at jobs. act 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. it will wish to look at the moment obviously the president has discretion for this within the laws therefore the accusation that academic autonomy and freedom are being destroyed is invalid gibson that he's going to get shot get caught now it
6:15 am

6:16 am
t.w. . a southern germany. for years it's been a departure point for long distance animal transports today it's cabs just separated from their mothers was very profitable here in germany numbers often go for export. are headed for northern spain and another collection point. this portage was filmed by. the animal welfare foundation she's followed the transports for more than 20 years the slide indicate about us all these are the noises the cats make when they're suffering and they increase as the journey goes
6:17 am
on. more and more calf's join in this bellowing you see them licking everything sucking at each other and are really in a kind of starvation stress the animals are under common and stress healers and. after an almost 20 hour journey the animals are unloaded in spain many of the young cats are completely exhausted saw having survived the ordeal. in this film we track animal transport not only despite. we also find out what happens to german livestock sent to other places such as north africa. and russia where we document the longest transport of german animals over thousands of kilometers to central asia.
6:18 am
yes. it's early december $21000.00 when we set out with us bombed out now for the 1st time. we want to find out what exactly is going on behind the trade in young cattle and what happens to the animals financially in a different area we're driving to a collection point near to clear. vision to become i was tipped off by an official who said young calves were being transported via various collection play offs to staying over for sheena's damaged a times but she had to be at. the collection point is located in a small village on the river most of us watches what goes on from an opposite hill she's expecting a transport to arrive today from bavaria. suddenly and
6:19 am
around 3 o'clock in the morning trucks begin arriving while others depart. you follow to animal transporters. they take a strange route they should be heading straight across the border into france but instead they take a huge detour if you have to be. the german cabs are unloaded at the collection point and so your maneuvers. according to animal transport regulators the cattle should be watered and fed and allowed to rest for 48 hours now. next morning he meets a friend i didn't call or not works for the french animal welfare group well farming what are they expecting. that hans part of the transport will probably go on to spain and that's what we assume there are german caps there too but we just don't know yet when they'll start to load the i reckon they'll do it when it gets light what to expect today or for that we're going to expect an adult living
6:20 am
in the morning and go to the opinion and maybe we can produce contour. writing letters and didn't get can speak. it's the afternoon less than 24 hours after arriving the transport is on the move again. we're on the highway heading to the south of france. the cabs have already been in transport for much longer than is legally permitted. at a service area near naeem the drivers take a break it's a chance for the animal rights activists to get a closer look and maybe have a word with the drivers. that your tag suggests there are german animals on board mostly from bavaria and. yet. you
6:21 am
ask the drivers where they've come from and where they're going. they say they came from near me louis and are heading to spain. no mention of the fact that they started off in bavaria. back in the car i didn't call or not contact the french police she asked them to stop the trucks and check them. since it's your commitment to education but before she was even finished her call the transporters off again. the animal welfare activists follow them and see what it means if anything to do you know i'll fetch i just tell me they don't have enough stuff for a check and unfortunately they couldn't do anything tonight pay. the 2 women watches the trucks pass the border into spain without a hitch. we want to know how this transport was possible in the 1st place even though you last prohibit such long journeys.
6:22 am
we head to the veterinary office and speak to the man in charge that you can all just don't want. to go he's brought some colleagues for support. of course did not detect these transports a further loading and unloading are monitored and the papers are checked to make sure they're ok and that's in the law it's a check on paper you know i mean there's a check on the ground to what was going on what kind of check exactly. you know if you know there's your chance to see whether the animals appear to be healthy or not and the nation is on. but the office also ought to check whether the transport is credible. this came from a very happy a tree or to eyes us. and that's almost double the distance that need it. shouldn't that alone arouse some suspicion. is that it did no one ask why
6:23 am
the animals were taken to vinci holden and then just talked about when a direct route would have been quicker. according to checks the transport times will buy the book for it's an economical decision whether to take the direct route on take a diversion or television over why would a diversion be economical. that i can't be the judge of that each company must decide for itself which route makes most sense. no one here appears ready to go beyond the call of duty but we're not giving up quite yet. minister from some of your tags when the trucks were parked in southern france. that's enough for us to trace which farm the cabs originally came from. the tags lead us to a small parish and of a very regional are going. on the farmer to let them know we're coming.
6:24 am
to the whole of your office got your meats in the early evening. is this your farm. and you keep the cattle. how many cattle do you have. so it. 'd has its ups and so forth but at least most of those of us are going to have calves to. their female both bred from high yielding cattle if all goes well he says they'll be producing 10000 liters of milk a year. because in this could be a few before i come to your because we film cattle on a transport to spain that was last december 5 o'clock and what did you get for those animals who does it you couldn't become a wash with us on that on the 40 over there fair feel if you're in the boat is in the boat from this if you feel it what will this wonderful sequoia with this in just a few. but i
6:25 am
with the price. coming off would be fair to say that the ball calves as males are a waste product of this breed and what doctors are to clean your room the most i see minus a child fast as a 5 little beak is very good wall but 6 mr obvious from place here come a saga 'd so say so from boys a commissar goes this so when it's a little bit. this is. 5 little the farmer shows us his cow shed he has a mixed herd but they're largely high yielding cattle. only keeps the dairy cattle so he has no use for male offspring. as an addition there's no demand in germany for veal these days. you get the photos. of the late the. all done with the stock most of all the good is destructive when the. tots elitist i don't get this county.
6:26 am
this we expect of this. is a lot of miles i'm never going to the animals were going on my office all week at least you must have time to get what did you think. that you'll hut who are you selling to the elf. in the sockets each. shift to. let the sun fall to what it always does and on top of. the farmer's bowl calves ended up being taken to spain but what happened to them after that. we had to cut a loan yet to find out it's the center of spain's cattle fattening trade and here we discover one farm after another. in the spanish that go with us to take a look. there are hundreds of calves here we can see they come from all over the earthian union. this is the spanish
6:27 am
style of industrial cathi farming. on closer inspection of some of the farms we see that some of the animals came from the u.k. . let me tell you. there are also calves from france and slovakia. we're not far from the seaport tartar going up and find that's where most of the calves are exported from. on the way to the port we see animal transporters on the return journey. the transports unload on the pier. electric prods are used to drive a young bolt onto the ship. this load is mostly made up of animals from france they're destined for love but on. one man stands out among the workers at the port you want to start an animal export or are
6:28 am
our heroes from morocco. as we establish later he's bought the animals for an arab company. but if he's prepared to talk to us so we arranged to meet with him a few days later. what's your job. most contiguous and exposed i work as an export of the companies here in spain and organize transport to arab countries. cities i drive around and pick out the animals the. selection by them try to negotiate the best price to export them to arab countries they always end up at an average. which countries do the transports go to. most. clearly bill you know i work
6:29 am
a lot with lebanon but i also export to jordan. saudi saudi arabia libya. morocco tunisia. almost all of the arab countries the computer design the more many animals how many cows in that load from germany. thousands of them. i don't keep of precise count. for the statistics live cattle from germany are shipped abroad for slaughter to many arab countries are insufficient cooling conditions for frozen meat. we meet. back at terra going to port where she wants to show us a ship that docked the previous day and tomorrow it's going to load up an animal transport. it's the karimov. before.
6:30 am
she got for christmas. the corrie malo was built in 1965 originally as a car ferry it's 55 years old at some point it was repurposed to carry livestock transports unfortunately not very well. in 2016 we got onto the ship it shouldn't be allowed to carry animals so. it's full of things that animals can injure themselves on the ramps are still not for animals when they run out of the ship they have to make a 90 degree bend and go straight down steep wraps then they're hit with electric process. which is why i'm running the shop today there's one deck on the ship that's only one meter 60 high not even a person can stand in it but can also regularly load it in there it's terrible the animals can't reach their food or water and if there is a problem no.
