day. also coming up a grim new record for germany to the country for towards its highest coronavirus death toll in a single day since the start of the pandemic. and the migrants stopped at the border in any humane conditions we meet the people fending for themselves after their town involved the approach of the ground last week to do permission of her home affairs what frost is going to do about it. i'm simply someone's going to thank you for joining us more than 30 hours after an attempted insurrection and 3 months after the u.s. election president trump has acknowledged he will be handing over power to joe by in a video published on twitter he also condemned the rioters calling the storming a heinous attack a police officer has died of his injuries following clashes with the pro trump mom

. 2 days late fresh fortifications around the u.s. capitol building after an angry mob invaded the altar of american democracy. those who attacked journalists. and police and now being attacked by their leader who himself is under intense fire the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol have defiled the seat of american democracy to those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent our country and to those who broke the law you will pay we have just been through an intense election and emotions are high but now tempers must be cooled and calm we store america's next president joe biden lays the ugly
11:03 am
insurrection squarely at trump's feet you know unleashed an all out assault on our institutions of our democracy from the outset and yesterday was but the combination of that unrelenting attack for protesters died in the chaos one inside the building a police officer also died from his injuries on thursday amid the aftermath democrats and even some of trump's former allies have called for his immediate removal from office. while some normalcy has returned to washington d.c. the city is clearly shaken even trump supporters in the capital were shocked by the violence what happened yesterday is just. i mean i am a trump supporter and they did. it with a cap that was different. we don't support that rid of that we don't support that and that is you know they are they. overcame police and they overcame barricades
11:04 am
that's not a lot order and like not that we are the party of law and order and for some members of trumps cabinet wednesday's events also went too far several have since resigned including the transportation secretary and most recently education secretary betty davis. from the us elections team is with us hi peter we're now seeing several members of the trumpet ministrations stepping down make of this well we've seen at least a dozen members of strays now resigning right so we have reports of several others also who want to resign but fears that doing that would essentially rendered. the government unable to function so wednesday night we saw former chief of staff and current special in more than one ireland. mick mulvaney resigning thursday we saw 1st of 1st lady maloney a trance chief of staff resigning then we saw the transportation secretary elaine
11:05 am
chao resign and then education secretary but sort of awesome she wrote in her resignation letter that the events that we saw on wednesday were censored simply unconscionable for our country see late the blame squarely at don't trump speak and say there is no mistaking the impact that his rhetoric on the situation and called it an inflection point for her she then went on to say that you know impressionable children are watching all of this in there that they're learning from this and that they have a moral obligation to essentially model the behavior that we would like these children to emulate you know for a lot of people i think these words ring fairly hollow considering that this is not the 1st time that we have seen trump really challenge the norms and even the constitution throughout his 4 year tenure we have seen you know him. better to remain in office when. the trauma ministration locked up kids in
11:06 am
cages when trump refused to descend from right wing extremists when he caught old authoritarians frankly and so a lot of people are the chopper to nist attempt to essentially abandoned trump sinking ship and try to save face as they're out looking for jobs while pressure really is mounting also in washington to remove. the president from office even in these remaining days right how realistic is that we're looking at 2 scenarios right so one is impeachment which if congress were to go ahead and impeach donald trump remove him from office that would be the 1st time in history that of a sitting president's been impeached twice but it is very unlikely that's going to is not in the session so they would have to get back to washington they would have to go through several commissions and go to a full vote in the house which would then have to pass it on to the senate where it would have to be up for trial and face and be signed off by 2 thirds majority in the senate all of that is very very unlikely that that's ever going to happen the
11:07 am
other option is the 25th the amendment which by president combined with have of the terms cap and it would then have to submit to congress that they find him unfit for office again the president could challenge that would then would have to go to 2 thirds majority in congress so really the obstacles are enormous and then within this short amount of time it's very unlikely that any of that is going to happen right peter from the u.s. elections team thank you very much for that analysis. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world the suspected mastermind of the 2002 bali bombings that killed more than 200 people has been released from an indonesian prison authorities say cleric abu bakar bashir will now enter a deal radicalization program he was in prison in 2011 for his links to a militant training camp in a 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 up at $737.00

11:09 am
the country's public health agency show a leaven 188 code related deaths in the past 24 hours and almost 32000 new covered 1000 cases recorded that's a little less than the previous peak in mid december but health officials warn actual numbers could be higher. let's bring in our political correspondent hans brown for more on this hi hans how do we explain this new record death toll. well what we have to see is that the death toll that is being recorded now is a result of high infection rates in mid december that you just referred to in other words when somebody gets infected it takes a week or so for that infection to become noticeable full of symptoms to become visible then it takes a little while before that person gets sick enough to have to go to hospital and if they get sick continue to get worse than to take several weeks for them actually to die so what we have now are the results of the infection rates in mid december and
11:10 am
1 has to say that infection rates continue to be high so we have to reckon on these kinds of infection these kinds of death tolls to continue for the next couple of weeks at least despite the fact that there is a national lockdown i mean we're seeing 32000 new infections daily germany really doesn't seem to have control over the situation why is that yes indeed there are several reasons for this one of the reasons i think is that people simply are not sticking to the rules that have been imposed there is huge support for these rules being hardened they were just hard to get in the sky this week and people support that but in their private spaces people seem not to be sticking to this and as a result the infections continue as a result also one is hoping that the vaccinations that are about that i've just started will somehow help us turn the corner but in the end one has to say germany is somewhat at
11:11 am
a loss i think as to how to reduce these infections successfully we mentioned the vaccinations the urgency for rollout of that is adding more pressing issues and it does seem like people here in germany are increasingly willing to get vaccinated let's take a look. injections to beat infections hopes for progress in the battle against the corona virus a focused on the vaccines but success in developing them and the excel aerated approvals process will be of little use if people won't come forward to be vaccinated 75 percent of germans now say they are prepared to get one of the vaccines compared with november many more people are saying it's not just likely but definite that they will and the number of people not planning to face the needle is dropping it's now less than a quarter of the population some say that for those who do get vaccinated rules should be used hotels and restaurants for instance could be reopened for those with
11:12 am
proof of vaccination others think the idea would create unnecessary division the german public seems to share that skepticism nearly 3 quarters say the rules should be the same for everybody even if it would prove that vaccination means people cannot infect others which is not yet clear looking ahead everyone is longing for the end of the pandemic when will lockdowns masks and distancing be a thing of the past half of germans think restrictions will be lifted this year but a further gloomier not expecting a return to normal until 2022 and some germans think corona measures will not be lifted for a long time perhaps never. heard at their hands everyone is longing for an end to the pandemic so what are the projections for a return to some kind of normalcy. well as we've just said the measures such as
11:13 am
lock dogs moscow and so on seem to be as effective as everyone has been hoping so the hopes are concentrating on the vaccinations and there we have to say that the amount of vaccine that's available worldwide and also in europe and in germany is nowhere near that i'm on for a moment we just saw that 70 percent of people in germany would like to be inoculated but that is not going to happen within the next couple of weeks it will take a least 6 months the government says before vaccine is available for everyone that really needs it so that's the prospect of 6 months at least before as a result of vaccinations things might get better and the restrictions i'm sure going to continue on told them. reporting for us thank you. let's check in now and somebody other developments in the coronavirus pandemic the
11:14 am
european union has doubled its order of the biotech pfizer vaccine commission president was enough underlined says a total of $600000000.00 doses are now allocated delivery administration of the shots is expected to continue throughout they say here the us has reported more than 4000 new deaths in the past 24 hours that is a global record nearly 3 times greater than number 2 brazil and iran supreme leader has banned vaccines from the u.s. and britain in a televised speech ayatollah ali khamenei said anti-cult $1000.00 shots developed in either country are forbidden the coronavirus pandemic is also hitting some african nations hard especially south africa for case numbers have been surging since the start of this year it's the worst affected of all the african countries with more than 1000000 cases already reported. creech has more. this isn't a waiting room it's the treatment room for cobra 2 patients at the hospital in
11:15 am
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. when reduced to going to church so we see them a bit and distributed it. to. dr susan who can call it has been working here for 9 years and this pandemic is pushing him to his limits the 3rd of his colleagues have already had the virus how do you feel to see all the little sometimes you know where this was going to be enough for speeds sometimes we don't give enough oxygen to meet you and you know it's the one point in your difficulty doing something you truly. do you do you 1st to do it looks just so you should we just stop but sometimes we just it's. on average one person with coverts dies in the hospital every day
11:16 am
there's a small room next door with somewhat better beds for acute patients waiting for an intensive care bed at another hospital. the local health minister at mit's that not everyone can get an i.c.u. bed most are already full if that doesn't 55 but then i see. that instead of them i did it in my own i.c.u. and that is what it is but it was on 5 am 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 will come here with non-college related issues emergency is often now being treated here because they need the space on the other side of the building the potential covers cases. south africa meanwhile has reintroduced tough are locked up. measures there's a strict a mosque requirement alcohol sales are banned and beaches have been closed but
11:17 am
police are overwhelmed with enforcing the rules. only patients over the age of 45 i'm now being tested at the state clinics the demand is overwhelming. here in viral load just both gun 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. experiencing. the arrival of a vaccine some time. through 2020. 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. second. there is hope initial studies show that during the 1st wave up to 40 percent of residents will

already infected and possibly even immune social distancing remains impossible for many here. dr cole and his team they are forced to bracing for a tough few weeks ahead of them. the european union says it will help fund accommodations for thousands of migrants currently living without shelter in bosnia-herzegovina e.u. foreign affairs chief joseph said $3500000.00 euros will be granted to alleviate what he calls completely unacceptable conditions now bosnia is not an e.u. member but as you can see here it borders croatia which is part of the union human rights groups say migrants have frequently reported rough encounters with croatian police including beatings and being forcefully sent back into bosnia that is a charge that croatian authority. deny at the moment nearly 9000 migrants are estimated to be in bosnia many of them are from afghanistan pakistan or syria and
11:19 am
the u.s. migration agency says that more than a 3rd of these migrants are living without any shelter many were left homeless when a camp in lipa was evacuated on december 23rd after boston authorities failed to prepare the camp for winter the empty camp was later set on fire the bosnian army has set up new tents but n.g.o.s say more permanent shelter is sorely needed marina sheilds reports. ashraf is angry and he's not the only one of feels that way and they hear and it's a yes they are guys that same problem they're suffering here. tells us he was forced to leave his home in pakistani controlled kashmir 2 years ago due to conflict in the region now he's one of several 1000 migrants and refugees here in bosnia herzegovina right at the doorstep of the european union most of them have only one goal answering the e.u. often it has tried several times to reach crazy but says he was always violently
11:20 am
pushed back by border guards we had a human being we want to live we have a family there are guys who got a note communal not dead it is too we don't have a good we had a very pleasant aftermath is now stuck here in camp which made headlines just before christmas when it was 1st cleared and then burned down these demist bank beds are or minder for tap and since then people here have mostly had to fend for themselves some are collecting rainwater to drink. we're not allowed to enter this camp police told us they're just following new instructions from the government but they could not explain to us why journalists are not being permitted inside boston authorities have faced harsh criticism because of the a poor. in conditions the mayor of the nearby town of beotch sooted fashion it's says the national government and the e.u.
11:21 am
share the blame if you are in on i spend so much money in my crises but the hatch has not received any any euro we have been dealing the lawn or money even though resources european union. should treat my can crises is the european problem as a global problem the e.u. says it is helping for example by funding a former refugee shelter in b. hutch but after repeated protests it was closed down in september and replaced by kempley some residents of the house are still gathering here every day because they fear that migrants could move back in. they said was that we are just we are not to assist 3 years we suffering and helping that people they don't want to stay in bosnia they just want to go to the border in europe and da europe open the border take them this is what many in can bleep are hoping for us well but
11:22 am
for now they have to cope with the little they have. for more on the story and we can speak now to live a johansson his the e.u. commissioner for home affairs in brussels commissioner johansson thank you very much for joining us we heard a woman there say in that report that the migrants do not want to stay in bosnia-herzegovina she said dear europe open the border and take them will you take them. well everybody has a right to apply for asylum and those that have reasons to get asylum will get asylum and are welcome in u.p.a. in union but those that are not eligible for asylum they cannot come and they have to return to the country of origin that's an important part of our migration policy but why is that not happening if we look at the conditions there they can't they're essentially stuck they'd like to apply for asylum and get to the european union
11:23 am
what i think would be seeing right now in in this area off the closing of the camp just before christmas we are having a humanitarian emergency situation and this will now we need to solve and that's why i spent actually part of my christmas holiday with a lot of phone calls to their forty's and the politicians on both national and regional level in boston has to go into and also together with the high representative. so now we have today temporary solution where the red cross reopens the leave camp with winterized tents that could help for the emergency situation right now but commissioner johansson i want to come back to you and not the humanitarian situation which we understand is dire but what the actual avenue is for people there to apply for asylum and come to europe how can that be
11:24 am
addressed well people are not not everybody can come to duty in union those that are eligible for asylum can come to the opinion and are welcomed to come but not everybody that wants to come to you to be in union can come and const a european union and boston has a governor has to manage their migration situation as well you say that they have to manage their migration situation we heard from the mayor of be harsh in that report saying he hasn't seen any euros from the european union how can that be. well we have spent a lot of money i think it's almost 85000000 euros to help us you know house to go managed migration and we will continue support them doing this but unfortunately we can also see that that there is a dysfunctioning governance in this country that means that there are some areas of the country some candles that are having. much morison responsibilities for
11:25 am
modernise than other areas for example and this is something that bus and house to govern a need to address in my view and i think also that i mean the european union we have been investing in the be wrecked camp that is winterized and it's ready to open with the place and beds for 1500 migrants just down the road from their. camp and i think that will be a good solution to reopen the and to give people shelter there for for the winter and commissioner johansson you told me debbie in september that you were confident that your pact on migration that's currently in talks right now that this would address some of the issues that we're seeing when it comes to these camps on the e.u. borders still this pact does not solve the problem that there are countries in the european union that are not willing to take in migrants so how are you going to solve this issue. while 1st on the pact the 5
11:26 am
percent did it's now being negotiated by member states and also by the european parliament and that should say in a constructive way and the situation that we are facing right now and that's also the case with the migrants and boston has to go and i should guess that is my jaw rooty of those of a life to ended european union on not refute g.'s they are not eligible for international protection and it's important that we make the distinction between is that those that are eligible for international protection they can well come and they could stay and others could also come on legal possible ways to work in european union to study had to be part of society but even regular drivers that are not eligible to stay they have to return and that's also an important part of my policy that we should have the processes already at the borders to have
11:27 am
a quicker and more efficient return system for those not eligible to stay ok we'll have to leave it there evaluate hans and the e.u. commissioner for home affairs in brussels thank you very much for joining us. business is up next thank you for joining us good good. good good good. good good. good. good good good good.
