12:01 am
a view of them urgency on the planet earth weather experts say last year was one of the hottest on record and warned that action on global warming is needed now more than ever. to. go and play richardson welcome to the show we begin in the united states where president elect joe biden has welcomed news that donald trump will not be attending his presidential inauguration on january 20th speaking to reporters in the u.s. capitol on friday biden said it trumps decision was quote one of the few things he and i have ever agreed on meanwhile washington like the u.s. as a whole is still coming to terms with this week's events and what they might mean for the future of the republican party and even american democracy itself. why it often. storm life seems to have gone back to normal in washington d.c.
12:02 am
off to trump supporters stormed the capital but the events have left their mark. i was appalled just gusted angry i'm a military veteran and i never thought i'd see this in the u.s. so what is to stop them from bringing guns into d.c. and shooting people because you know they don't have a bit of detective on the highways come in and he had a conduit or they have some of them stuff capable of doing the events of this week have everybody in the city a little bit worried and i've been walking around and seeing still a lot of. charm supporters hanging around so it makes me a little nervous that there are a lot of people staying many americans are still shaken by the images of white nationalists and confederate sympathizers running around the halls of the capitol these images will never be forgotten and people wonder whether this could happen again the far right corner of the internet have shared their interests in
12:03 am
continuing these types of acts and one has to wonder if the u.s. is really prepared to face this again despite from the take on the democratic system joe biden and come of the hair is will stand right here on january 20th and take the oath of office and become the leaders of the united states'. security has been ramped up for the inauguration even the national guard is mobilized the whole city is on high alert it is time for the u.s. to move forward the question is in which direction. a few blocks away leg lives matter activists are still hoping for a better term of the events not just hope that everybody come with a common ground and get together and make the world peace peaceful issue of america of peace. first because we're looking weak to everybody because if they can run and
12:04 am
anybody can run it in. in the meantime washington just wants to get back to normal. and we're joined now by our washington bureau chief in as paula filed that report that we just heard and she joins us now live from d.c. you know as a high profile democrats are now saying a trumpet must go before inauguration day what are their options for trying to make that happen write to the house democrats have taken the un president and step to call for the removal of president all trump by introducing articles of impeachment for the 2nd time in 4 years no president has ever been impeached wise and this would be a historically action taken by the democratic party about however without support form their republican colleagues it is highly unlikely that trump would be removed
12:05 am
from office. and i mean there's a less than 2 weeks left until the biden administration it takes over so why even bother what's the point of democrats pursuing this. this is a highly symbolic that's true the democrats just want to hold on trumbo and his enablers accountable for what they did and even the republicans believe that it is absolutely unnecessary to take such steps or actions democrats just want to send this message to future presidents if you attempt term to break our democracy there will be consequences that's the message they are sending out with this well speaking of a consequences let's talk about the attack on the capital that took place on wednesday are there going to be consequences for those people who did storm the capitol i mean how seriously is law enforcement taking this. right now that the dust has settled so to speak
12:06 am
a swift action actually is being taken to respond to the storming of the capitol the resignation of police leaders have been submitted already and now law enforcement is starting the process of arresting the perpetrators of this riot lawmakers are calling for hearings to figure out why one of the most secure buildings in the country was so easily in why did by a mob i mean this is probably clear the question everybody's asking who saw the footage of the storm and on the other hand the politicians who supported donald trump's objection to the election also facing harsh political consequences top democratic lawmaker makers are calling for republican senators like ted cruz or george holiday who actually supported the president the very day the capital was stormed to resign immediately so the fallout of this historic 6 generally
12:07 am
2021 will linger for days weeks and maybe even months and washington bureau chief in as paul thank you very much for that update. and let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world spain has received heavy snowfall unlike anything it's seen in decades after storm ophelia may now brought winter weather 2 feet iberian peninsula the spanish weather agency is describing the situation as exceptional and most likely historic and to lots of people are making the most of the rare white out. 76 people on board a ferry there ran aground off the canary islands have now been rescued the vessel was approaching of the port of a storm filomena slammed the spanish islands in the atlantic no one was injured in the rescue operation. an avalanche hit a ski resort in the siberian

12:10 am
and at this vaccination center in western germany recipients say the wait was worth it i think for me it's like winning the lottery because my children didn't allow me to leave the house i had to stay at home all the time. so it's great being among the 1st ones to get the shot either from the mayor. says despite the bumpy rollout there could be some relief in sight with a deal in to secure millions of new doses of vaccine and the possible approval of a 3rd vaccine by months and the e.u. is taking steps it hopes will silence the critics of its vaccine rollout. let's turn now to the other emergency facing a planet earth last year match 2016 as the hottest on record according to the eaves climate change agency that's despite a dip in emissions in 2020 caused by lockdowns with extreme weather events likely to become more intense and more frequent as temperatures rise scientists say the need for action is more urgent than ever the fine is eat up large

12:17 am
hello i'm christie one day it's good to have your company. activists in sierra leone say child marriage is on the rise because the coronavirus pandemic is making it harder for families to feed their children and pay school fees now west africa has the highest number of child brides in the world and a decades long campaign pushing to stop the practice had shown some success in sierra leone rates of child marriage dropped in the country from 56 percent in 2006 girls to 39 percent of girls in 2017 and i'll bet progress is being threatened by. the remote village of kamau in a sincerely yearn it was here that a man saw marie kimono as she walked to primary school when he proposed.
12:18 am
he went to talk to my parents they asked me what i thought and i told them you have no money to send me to school so let me get married on the move. she only accepted she says because the family needed the dowry money now the 16 year old regret the decision she doesn't want to sisters to make the same mistake as. oh no i told them don't follow in my footsteps this isn't to me don't get married so young go to school. we've family struggling in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic child marriage is on the rise again many parents view the practice as normal if they do not fear. their children for them it's probably like this is possibly one of the better investments and better things that i could do for my child and to ensure that i. do something that will
12:19 am
ensure that she has security. sirrah leone's 1st lady that i'm amanda deal is working to change this mindset with her campaign hands off our girls child doesn't give consent to sex so if you if you force a child to be at a very. you know. child and that's. another child bride is not. the cash strapped family married her off when she was just 15. i talked to my parents to convince them not to marry me off i said with poor and have nothing unless you get married. her husband often left her alone with no money for food she ran away and he's now at a school for taylor's. just suffering i was going through it was too much especially with the marriage i never imagined that i thought my family would help me to become a basic person but that didn't happen in. schools
12:20 am
or even to get in october activists worry that those who marry young don't usually make it back to the classroom that leaves them vulnerable to poverty domestic abuse and the risks of early pregnancy. for more on this we've invited joggle from save the children onto the program she's joining us from freetown in syria and welcome to the program. why are so many children married off in sierra leone is it cultural practice or is it being forced by poverty. as one girl in an ad that i really like says the situation is complicated we have a series of different things affecting all leading to child marriage we live in a patriarchal society. it is believed that the girl child is a 2nd class to the boy child in
12:21 am
a society where the girl child is seen as less intelligent is more of a helper and according to the culture and tradition and. as far as the family is concerned she's there basically as an investment to the family rather than as an investment to the community as a whole as a result of you have situations where the girl child is seen no seen as a risk of possibly falling pregnant before she ends up in the in a marital situation so it's seen as a shame or a disgrace to the family and that's also one of the reasons that married off to tell us about the increase that we've seen. pandemic. well i think for us we've got anecdotal evidence we've got one case study coming from one of the ladies in the southern district where we work and basically some of the children that we spoke to at that time was saying to us they had concerns that
12:22 am
they will be likely to be married off because they fell pregnant within the. period of the 5 months that we the schools were closed we had one of these that we work with basically told us that she had an incident where she went she was invited to a wedding basically when. only to find that the person getting married is a child so she basically intervened talks to the to the parents about the risks they had in terms of if she reported to the authorities and as a result they called off the waiting list of the scenarios are likely to face why does this need to end. i think in many for many reasons really fussily out say economically now we've got a government that's very ambitious plans for syria and they're looking at economic national development for that to happen we need to have a population which is over 50 percent to be on board and these are women and girls
12:23 am
need to be part of that process they need their education the health system which really we can say that 40 percent of maternal deaths and serbians as a result of girls pregnant that needs to change protection systems they're at risk of rape at home in the communities at school if they don't address some of these challenges that girls face on a daily basis then all of their plans in terms of development is sorted all right that's from save the children talking to us. thank you. thank you very much. now in uganda the pop star turned lawmaker robert chandler lanny who goes by the name bobby wind saying shell call on the international criminal court to investigate alleged murder torture and other abuses in uganda the move comes less than a week before the country's presidential election in which he is challenging
12:24 am
a long time. 70 that tensions are high in the country amid a chaotic and violent campaigning period. by. campaigning and a flak jacket and helmet speaking to reporters on line from his car surrounded by police even what happens next has become the norm for a ugandan opposition candidate the wine. i would really really. minutes earlier wine had announced he'd called on the international criminal court to investigate alleged murder torture and other abuses at the hands of the country's leaders. it is my well. you know quote it misses you and we. need it to
12:25 am
mean more and maybe. resented. because. 'd the people of uganda. president yoweri must 70 has held power for more than 3 decades and says he's certain a victory in next week's election to economic growth and subsidies have earned him a strong support base especially in rural areas. but singer turned politician bobby wind has galvanized the opposition demanding an end to what he calls a dictatorship. and other opposition candidates saying the president has made a fair campaign impossible. wine was arrested when he announced his candidacy back in november sparking protests in which security forces shot dead more than 50
12:26 am
people authorities insist further restrictions on campaigning are in place to curb the spread of the corona virus but critics like wine as well as human rights groups say those rules are being weaponized to stifle the opposition even further. now once abandoned african penguins are now classified as endangered their population is declining rapidly now south african researchers are planning to start a new breeding colony of the sea birds by releasing schools of african penguin chicks at the western cape's develop a nature reserve curious and charismatic this is the only species of penguin that breeds on this continent the african penguin was once south africa's most abundant sea bird in the 1920 s. there were 1000000 peds but when humans started taking the eggs the food the penguin population had plunged. research is
12:27 am
a working to reverse that. key to their strategy at these dummy penguins they emit penguin calls to attract real ones on shore so far success has been limited but research is a hopeful. it's been done for other sea bird species around the world. possibly the most successful and famous example is the atlantic puffin off the east coast of the u.s. they used they also use decoys and releasing chicks at the site and they eventually got a very big thriving colony the aim is to develop a new penguin colony where the birds would be safe from predators penguins settled here briefly in the mid 2000 but praying leopards meant they were soon forced to leave researches plans to introduce dozens of 100 african penguin chicks here starting early this year do you want to try and release as many. chicks at the site as possible and over
12:28 am
a long period of time so we would ideally want to try and release. at least 50. juveniles a year over a period of 3 to 5 years the endangered penguins are found only in south africa and namibia the decline in their populations has been attributed mainly to the production of fish stocks they feed on and worsened by climate change. the african penguin and sea bird sanctuary prepares these young birds for life in the wild the area has good fishing waters vital for a new colony and boosting penguin numbers will help other species too. it is an indicator species it's an apex predator in its own right it's essential to the end to the ecosystem and it's really it will be very very said if we are to use the species on our watch and if the effort works the african penguin would be safe enough to stay the star attraction on south africa's beaches. that is that
12:29 am
for now. the story is on. forward slash africa we're also on facebook and on twitter and there's always looking to hear what you think about the stories we have on the program and this. stories we should be have a wonderful weekend see you next time about. motor sport is it still a man's time no way. to compete in a race car driving. and they are winning. the hour of motorsport sprint consent fastest female race car drivers. let's. read. 60 minutes.

businesses and overseas firms doing business in the u.s. on the one hand tax cuts and slash regulations by a business friendly administration on the other hand what happened wednesday amount of trouble euless attacking the u.s. capitol and doing serious damage to the country's reputation. this is not the vision of america that manufacturers believe in and work so hard to defeat the words of the president not of the united states but of the national association of manufacturers jay timmons when he saw the scene unfold the told with severe 5 dead at least 50 arrested chaos reigned for hours after thousands of militant trump supporters stormed the seat of government american business representatives of the seas are worried about the impact those images could have yes american that was shocking or fine and actually quite embarrassing the world so that. you know it's an extreme circumstance and it's not
12:32 am
a surprise that very very concerned where this could all end and once cooler heads prevail which fortune believes what's in the. german companies operating in the u.s. have had their doubts about the political stability there the country's reliability as a trading partner was already being questioned before the violence in washington according to surveys conducted by the u.s. chamber of commerce u.s. president elect joe biden will have the daunting task of unifying a dangerously divided country you believe we're in some what happened on wednesday and it also shows what even just half joe biden is going to say if i'm in this presidency and then tells you would be needed also that is look it's going to be in new orleans and. the incoming president certainly want to have it easy to trumpet ministration will end with a nation divided and sick the virus has wreaked havoc on the u.s.
12:33 am
economy and labor market the toughest times my lie ahead or let's go now to our financial correspondent yens court in new york. what does this mean these actions that happened on wednesday what does it mean for the business destination america it's still one of the most vital markets in the world of course. it is but clearly china for instance is trying to take him advantage shelves elect go for reputation that the u.s. created in the past them couple of years china tries to build to a global partnership sensor process of the united states as the biggest economy on the planet but having that said so far depending what measure you take the u.s. is still the number one economy on the planet was the biggest consumer market so far and also we're probably the most liquid capital markets so it's still the place to go for investments and then we also shouldn't forget that the dollar is still the world's leading currency so that also does help the united states so let's see
12:34 am
where we stand in 3 or 4 years and then maybe we can judge better what actually. a pure taishan means for the so far number one economy on the planet. more days of the trouble ministration yens what looking back what is the balance for business leaders after 4 years of trying they got tax cuts regulation cards but a trade war 2 and then these events on wednesday. well i mean there is the short term picture and timid or long term picture is short term and clearly companies business leaders they did profit from what you mentioned those takes cuts and less regulation so that was good for the balance sheets of the corporations but on the other side we also shouldn't forget everything has a price so we also have a huge debt load and that could come back to haunt us in the rather near future and then you were did mention the trade dispute with china for instant we did not see
12:35 am
a trade escalation a europe so far and we also shouldn't forget the u.s. economy was actually looking extremely bright before the pandemic started but then the recovery off the u.s. economy also did not start with the u.s. president talking but already in 2009. barack obama in office so i'm skeptical if we were really see donald trump go down in the history books as the great businessman and to great to have person drive up to your calling me as he sees himself right now with the latest from new york thank you. dover to germany where 2020 turns out to be the worst year for new car sales by volume in 45 years the german association of the automotive industry saying that new car registrations plunged 19 percent last year to $2900000.00 correspondent chelsea blaney as the story it was
12:36 am
a brutal year for germany's automakers and to some degree that was to be expected given that this just business disruptions of the chrono virus given the locked out are still in place here and germany but even so a 19 percent drop off in registrations this is one of the worst figures we've seen and post the unification history here in germany and it comes even as the german government really tried to boost sales there were many incentives especially for electric vehicles there was a tax cut that really didn't offset the declines that we've seen so now many automakers are looking forward to 2021 they are expecting a bit of a recovery in part due to the growth we're staying in china as well as the booming electric vehicle market which tripled here in germany in the last year but even with those bright spots many automakers say they don't expect a return to pre-crisis levels until perhaps 2022 at the earliest. financial

correspondent chelsey delaney there in frankfurt let's talk about a virus not the one you're thinking of bird flu it's not harmful to humans but it's very contagious and it can devastate farmers that's exactly what it's doing in france at the moment the nation has already killed more than 200000 ducks it expects to kill another 400000 in the days ahead here's a look at one farmer who's been affected. a few days ago french farmer marilyn back nice was surrounded by the lively sounds of ducks on her farm but the farm is just 3 kilometers from the latest bird flu outbreak and her pastures and stables are now silent discussing the months. until saturday morning there were a lot of ducks here and over there and then you open the gate take the animals bring them to the truck load them up and the van disappears. and with it your income you're left empty handed. the. day recess already had to slaughter 600 of her ducks and what happened to the
12:38 am
remaining 300 she finds out yes a mess. going wrong all morning and your transport day is wednesday the truck arrives at quarter past 9 a lot of 300 animals have a nice day. free range poultry are particularly at risk from the virus because it's transmitted by wild birds but putting them in stalls is out of the question for babies that's against tradition and doesn't necessarily protect against infection. the local agricultural association warns of the devastating consequences for farmers in the region. i think we're going to see a 1000000 ducks slaughtered in the near future since nothing can stop the virus today and we risk moving towards a generalized slaughter of poultry in our region. bird flu which originated in east asia 1st appeared in europe in 2014 cents then there
12:39 am
have been repeated outbreaks of the disease. we may have heard of the hof roy house it's a german institution and they love a tourism spot but not this winter with the pandemic forcing its closure just like other restaurants but one half white house location in berlin the doors remain open for those in particular need. look berlin might be on lockdown but there's plenty going on in the huffed right house kitchen chef dennis schmidt is preparing something perfect for this time of year a hearty dish that sticks to the ribs. today we're preparing a coachman's kulacz made with pork knuckles onions gravy and dumplings. nina is a regular here she's 35 years old and homeless the relief organization to have her berlin has teamed up with the whole fry house to help people in need for nina this is the only way to keep warm. especially with the temperatures
12:40 am
around 0 degrees or less it's hard to be outside all day and for me it's the cold air i breathe in cold air all day long and my body can't manage to keep warm. an estimated 10000 homeless people live on the streets of berlin and the pandemic has made their situation even worse many state run aid facilities are closed because social distancing regulations can't be observed there the white house has 2 floors with around 3000 square meters of space so there's plenty of room to socially distance around $120.00 people come by at lunchtime to warm up and eat before the pandemic up to 5000 liters of beer were served here every day for the manager bjarne trance it's not a money making venture he donates the rooms for free the berlin senate pays for the food and the personnel. that our motivation is really just to do something good we
12:41 am
have a central location right at alexanderplatz and we're empty we're closed and we have nothing to do we're only allowed to do deliveries so we can't even use the space anyway. you want nina can relax in the white house but the respite is all too brief after about 4 hours she'll head out onto the streets again. and finally here's one company that could not distance itself faster from this week's storming of the u.s. capitol even though it probably didn't need to and someone snapped this photo of a discarded can of axe body spray on the capitol grounds the photo was tweeted out and it turned a quick reply from x. itself the company quote condemns the capitol storming and believes in the peaceful transition of power just in case you're wondering what your favorite body spray brand thinks about the state of u.s. democracy. and here's a reminder of our top story for today the recent attack on the u.s. capitol building has been branded shocking horrifying and embarrassing by american
