china's gateway to europe. starts figuring 19 on. the big plane. this is c w news live from berlin u.s. lawmakers laid the groundwork to remove the president from office house speaker nancy pelosi urges vice president mike pence to declare trump unfit for office after trump supporters frantic search for the u.s. capitol otherwise democrats pledge to impeach trump the 2nd time. all of this

as arnold schwarzenegger compares the mob to storm the u.s. capitol to the christo not to cobra he was a lego friend verge of those that you carried out in 1000 soon but the nazi equivalent crowdsource the former governor of california says that the mobs that stormed the capital trampled on the principles on which the u.s. was founded plus the family rooms again turned into classrooms with germany 2nd locked out freshly extended to check out the challenges still facing those trying to teach and learn a school st stay shut in the pen that. i'm sara kelly walked into the program u.s. lawmakers in the house of representatives are reading legislation that could remove . president trump from office house speaker nancy pelosi said that they would 1st

urge vice president mike pence to activate the 25th amendment declaring the president unfit for office now if that fails they would take steps toward impeachment 5 people including a police officer died when a mob of trump supporters stormed the capitol last week. a solemn moment on the streets of washington d.c. . police officers pay tribute to their colleague brian sick nick who died from his injuries after president trump supporters invaded the capitol building on wednesday . and is on a u.s. beacon on c. pelosi ordered flags to be flown at half mast. but sunday will also be remembered in washington as the day that palosi sent a letter outlining her plans to try to have trump removed from office using words that pulled no punches. we will act with urgency she wrote because this president

represents an imminent threat the horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetrated by this president is intensified and so is the immediate need for action. the fear is that trump supporters will try to stage another act of insurrection before the inauguration of joe biden on january the 20th security has been tightened in the capitol but pelosi plans to have to remove to fraught with difficulties firstly is thought that vice president mike pence is unlikely to lead any attempt to have trumpeted acted by activating the 25th amendment to carrying him incapable of carrying out his duties. and with barely 2 weeks to go for trump's presidency impeachment is also thought to be tricky. with some democrats fearing it could overshadow joe biden's 1st 100 days in office whatever the outcome it seems trump's departure from office will be his unconventional.

was as his entire presidency. let's get more we are joined by reporter william group who crossed william tell us the democrats as we've heard they're calling for impeachment how realistic is it. impeachment itself is quite realistic democrats can simply put the articles the article i should say one article of impeachment to the floor for a vote they have the majority and they could impeach the president the trickier question is then when that moves over to the senate for trial remember the senate is not in session right now or come back after inauguration day could technically come back into session but for all intents and purposes we won't see any senate activity until next week when biden is already president that leaves the question of what the point is of course there's a symbolic aspect that the democrats want to show that what happened on wednesday that donald trump played a role in inciting does not stand cannot stand and then of course there's also the

practical aspect that if he were impeached and convicted even after he were out of office it could be possible then for the senate to move to essentially prohibit him from ever running for public office ever again name time we know that the incident has been splitting the g.o.p. and i'd just like to draw our viewers' attention to the fact that former california republican governor arnold schwarzenegger has spoken out he's compared the mom that stormed the u.s. capitol to the nazis let's listen and then we'll get your reaction after i grew up in austria and very aware of kristallnacht well the night of broken glass he was indicted the frame by age against the jews carried out in 1000 stood the 8 that the nazi equivalent of the proud boyce wasted was that they have broken got us right here in the united states the broken god was in the windows of the united states capitol but the mob did not just shout of the windows of the countable shot at the

ideals we took for granted they did not just break down the doors of the building that housed the american democracy it trampled the very principles on which our country was founded. well yeah a dramatic horrific comparison there what do you think his intention was in making this comparison. of course wants to make make his point that we don't really know where we are right now in the present time you know looking back on history we have the luxury of seeing the dots all connected neatly lined up for us you know today we we look back to many historians say kristallnacht in 1938 was the official beginning of the holocaust of course back then there was no way to know that and so he's warning is of course you know take this seriously. because we don't know where this might lead of course you don't have to go to germany or austria for examples of fascism in the united states it has

a long history of dealing with fascist elements including the one $930.00 s. itself was a very tumultuous time and if not for america's very strong institutions and very strong leadership especially under franklin delano roosevelt the president the time the united states could come out of very different and dangerous direction i think that's what schwarzenegger is trying to say right now that without the institutions and the leadership. these right wing vigilantes or militiamen whatever you want to call them could pose a very serious problem for the republican for the for democracy a large and it's important also to remember that there will indeed be a change of leadership so it does differ and that way the 2 situations you know given that change of leadership from a historical perspective schwartz negara says the truck will go down in history as the worst president ever in the united states let's listen i do believe that we must feel we have to die a consequences of selfishness and cynicism president trying sought to overturn the

results of an election and of a village he saw the cool but misleading people with ma yes my father nono he was misled also with lies and i know we're subsidizing the. president trump is a failed of the though he will go down in history as the worst president ever the good thing is to do so will be irrelevant as an org tweet he uses the word irrelevant there william perhaps pick up on that a little bit because ultimately 70000000 u.s. citizens did vote for donald trump so where does that leave the country. a w7x4w americans voted for donald trump of course all of them far right militia men or white supremacists but that undercurrent is very strong as we saw on wednesday at the capitol highly organized planned to storm the capitol incited by some of the remarks that donald trump and his supporters his political supporters

made so trump may be going away as of january 20th or sooner if democrats get their wish of a trump ism is not and this is something that the republican party has to deal with what is the future of that party that arnold schwarzenegger is a longtime critic of donald trump and the president have gotten into quite the twitter social media in the past especially when it came to immigration and these kinds of things. be viewed as an enemy by these conspiracy theorists that only see donald trump as as their guy as we're seeing now with other senators and other political officials and public officials who were once staunch republican allies being heckled being threatened because they're now seeing to great to break ranks so this is a very serious problem the public and parties you have to deal with but it's also something they've been dealing with for years as they were the party has moved further right in an effort to win elections and to hold on to it's a minority of of voters and this is something have to go forward as that party

that split gets even more extreme and we're going to be dealing with that united states and doing that for many more years to come. in charge. kroft breaking it all down for us thank you. 56 a look at some other stories making news around the world divers have been scouring the sea floor off of the indonesian island of java in the search for a crashed passenger jets flight recorders authorities hope that the black box data will clarify why the boeing 737 came down just minutes after taking off from jakarta on saturday 62 people were on board indonesia has asia's worst information safety record. north korean leader kim jong un has been named a general secretary of the golden workers' party the title was held by both his father and his grandfather it's being seen as a symbolic step meant to boost kim's authority as the isolated country faces new

a thai caseload of covert 1000 infections under control they include stricter curbs on movement for people in corona virus hotspots let's get more on this now we are joined by political correspondent on your color and you tell us a bit more about the restrictions because they're supposed to get the pen to make more under control. yes of course sarah and they all aim at further reducing the contact and the private contact this is from today household is only allowed to meet with one. person and the areas most severely hit by the virus can implement motion restrictions people only allowed to move and paramita off 15 kilometers around their. around their home town which is meant to keep a trip at home health minister called upon the germans to comply with the rules he said he knows that it is tough but it is necessary because

the private contacts are responsible for most of the new infections and he asked as well state governments to lend to implement the rules because germany's federal system. a lot of their responsibilities lies with the states and. they implement their rules all in their way so we've got different rules and all the states salute. and in the meantime we have to mention that over the weekend there was a somber milestone tell us more yes germany's institute for disease control counted more than 40000 deaths in total and this number might increase significantly in the next few weeks because chancellor angela merkel

warned that germany has still to feel the full impact of socialising over christmas and new year. let's talk about the future and eunice nation against culver 19 it's been underway for 2 weeks now germany is about to get another vaccine to fight the disease how far can it really go because there's also been a lot of criticism that the rollout is just not happening fast enough is the 1st dozes off. vaccine is expected to arrive at the central storage facility in germany today 2000000 doses in the 1st quarter of this year vaccination ourselves start later this week and this might bring a bit of relief because as you said the government has been criticized for the slow progress in vaccination but the health minister defended his strategy

a strategy is to immunize 1st the elderly and people in care homes by mobile teams and this takes much longer than vaccination vaccinating people in vaccination centers which will start shortly after this so he hopes that the pace will increase over the next few weeks you political correspondent on your caller thank you well meantime germany has extended coronavirus restrictions are again making life harder for school kids and their parents to school closures now set to last until the end of january at least a country where home schooling used to be a legal finding itself unprepared even the 2nd time around. homeschooling is especially difficult for beginners like they used to real school yet with his mother's help reduce learning to read and write in this living room. might not be

too lax homeschooling because i think it's great i like it based on just the 4 of. sure he means himself is not only his big sister selma and their mother there's always something going on yes i don't know yesterday we pretended to be in the school cafeteria they serve french fries so we made fake fries virtually out of white bread and we pretend that that the 3 of them were pupils from the same screen . because we have the ever managed to do everything that is supposed to be done that day and. we have i really never wanted to be a teacher i don't know how you get someone to write a letter after 27 times in a row if they don't want to remember the. teacher. and another tanker used their own private laptops to remotely support these homeschooling efforts here they offer question and answer session

several times a week via video but teaching 6 year olds to read write and do mass remotely is difficult. and this. monkey can argue that there's some children that we can't read at all right now they're learning very little and when we try to get them to come into school and then we work with them here but once we simply can't learn at home because of the number of siblings and the lack of space going to school miss and at least the tablets provided by the berlin city government can now be distributed to children who have no digital devices a top experts say this should have happened long ago. now when i was in march last year because the teachers absolutely wired their own devices and figured out what works best for them but the government was asleep on the job. do you burmans high infection rates this school will remain closed for the time being. back to feed with homeschooling his mom is currently on preventing

her husband is working there just about coping with homeschooling. are do or do you think you can work out and teach your kids at the same time is an illusion of the future is me running saying i'm going to tell the world to me that it is impossible for combine home opening and. everyone in the family knows that this is not how it was meant to be not just hope things will get back to the limo sooner rather than later. and here's what's happening elsewhere in the corona virus pandemic a world health organization team of experts tasked with investigating the origins of covert 19 well the arrive in china on thursday after a long delay china is accused of covering up the virus when it 1st emerged in rwanda back in 2019 it's not clear whether the team will be allowed to go there meanwhile chinese health authorities reported $103.00 new cases on monday the

biggest daily increase and months most were and who gave province surrounding beijing a top french expert who sits on the government's advisory pout panel is urging the country to close its borders to britain and other countries where a new variant of the corona virus has been found. one now this comes as authorities in france impose a 6 pm curfew on marsay after more than 20 cases of that nuke over $1000.00 variants were found in the mediterranean port city it's raising new fears that the government hasn't done enough to protect the population vaccinations began last month but france has been lagging behind other european countries it obviously salue us reports from paris. the opening of france's 1st vaccination center run by a telling hold is a big event no. just for the parisian suburb of plus see france hopes that centers like this will play

a crucial role in its vaccination strategy. when your do produce cycle we will know that's an 8 medical personnel over 50 and then in 2 weeks people over 75 there will be 10 such centers in our department ilene and 300 across france this will allow us to inoculate up to $500.00 people per day here and very quickly the entire french population across the country. actually lost. the vaccines can be stored for up to 5 days i'll cite the mayor is glad that local governments are now playing a bigger part in getting in allies to get a receipt of the door. it's important to be part of this unprecedented moment in history i as mayor of foresee with its 40000 inhabitants want to show that we can really help in the fight against this global pandemic get support for polygamy.

but until now france has vaccinated considerably less people than many other european countries that has some people worried. or that roy up in the uk of course france is as usual lagging behind the british invented the 1st vaccine louis the 16th was only vaccinated against smallpox after his grandfather with the 15th had died of it was on a demo before actually we really need to speed up so that we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel the vaccine is humanity's biggest hope. the main problem seems to have been not just sticks the only available seram so far is the one by pfizer and by antec that needs to be stored at minus 70 degrees but paris says it's now better equipped cruise. will fail for sure. as you just saw we are bringing forward the vaccination of certain groups such as medical personnel and we

will soon receive vaccines that we need to be stored at these extremely low temperatures for a prefer to take our time initially and proceed with caution to eventually reach the same result as other countries. move was. put on little bit. but even if france catches up with other european countries there is another problem france is the world's most vaccine skeptic country according to a recent poll in 144 countries with only 4 out of 10 people planning to get a covert 19 job one reason for that is that the french just don't trust their governments to handle the crisis the very slow start to the vaccination campaign is unlikely to help win back people's confidence. the country is facing a double challenge it needs to convince its citizens to get vaccinated while not

being left behind even further by its european neighbors. lisa lewis who you saw in that report joins us now lisa why are the french so skeptical about the vaccine. well they've always been very skeptical about that since if you look back in history in 22 polls in the past but during this pandemic they also feel that the government hasn't really handled the crisis very well or for example at the beginning the government was saying that mosques facemask ruined of any use against the virus and now obviously they're saying you have to wear them or was everywhere at least inside on public transport etc they announced at the beginning a lockdown and just days before that lockdown came into force they organized the 1st round of local elections once the lockdown ended they east restrictions very quickly which then led to higher infection rates so the government the people here feel that the government is not really handling this crisis very well what's more

obviously the people the political class is not really standing together one leader of a political party of the far left on a national just said for example that he was and until that sin but on the other hand he didn't really trust the new vaccine on the market either so it's just like people are not really saying we really need to go ahead and get people vaccinated instead they're trying to address concerns by people and they're not really managing to get convince enough people here to get vaccinated at this very moment and given all of those factors lisa i mean just just walk us through what the current situation is actually in the country. france had a lockdown in place late last year for a few weeks and that really brought down infection rates from at one point more than 800000 new infections per day to a few 1000 a day now the government has put in place a curfew in 2 days in across the country actually with some curfews entering

getting in at 6 o'clock 6 o'clock not 6 o'clock at night and some others at 8 o'clock at night that has kind of limited the spread of the virus but we're seeing that after the holidays primarily the infection rates are going up again the government is now mulling over you know further restrictions which might mean a new lockdown of here in a few weeks time really. correspondent lisa lewis in paris thank you for some golf news for you now the p.g.a. of america has announced that it would relocate the 2022 p.g.a. championship away from trump national golf course in bedminster new jersey the board of directors voted to terminate peace agreement saying that it would be detrimental to their brand if they didn't cut ties with president trump the decision comes just days after a pro trump mob stormed the u.s. capitol in washington d.c. . and in the bundesliga arjen time nico gonzalez scored one

while the consumer and tonics show in las vegas goes online the big issue aren't about to tech products but tech policy. welcome to the business and want to get johnson the lead the to have you with us. this kinds winning streak casts come to an end at least temporarily the trip to currency dropped more than 12 percent today if therion fell as much as 20 percent this after president elect joe biden promised trillions in extra pandemic relief spending a move that cost a surge in us bond yields lifting the u.s. dollar and whether or not this is just a blip for bitcoin also depends on institutional investors. the american bank j.p. morgan is calling it the new gold but it wasn't always like that the banks feel used to see that crypto currency which were nothing but a fraud even threatening to fire any employees who traded in bitcoin but the bank changed as the valuation soared no j.p.

morgan is watching bit coin plain to dizzying new highs i think the institutional investors are now realizing that this is a real loss of course their customers are asking them about it and they have to migrate from saying no don't touch it it's it's bad to. help you by the we'll help you manage it. bitcoin increased 400 percent in value since january 1st it's been reaching record highs since december according to g p morgan big gain is gold's loss the bank maintains that many investors saw gold as well as shares in gold funds and divested those investments to big coins but is bit cohen really the new gold opinions in the financial industry differ widely some see bitcoins recent price gains as a speculative bubble set to barstow all those see big coin as

a sensible way to invest their capital effectively. and for more on this i'm joined now by christy classes from d.w. business christy good to see you interesting enough gold today only shed one percent does this mean that bitcoin could be overrated. yeah well that's a charge that's fan you know held against decline for the last decade but i think as we just heard in the piece and also as we've seen especially in 2020 the critic urgency has really started to legitimize itself in the eyes of a lot of people who are formally skeptical like j.p. morgan you know. as they just said you know used to think it's fraud now saying this could overtake gold so i think we're going to be moving away from this rhetoric around bitcoin going forward ok when you say you think you know we're moving away and there have certainly been tendencies towards the end of the year what time are we talking about because clearly do a crisis like now do you in the pandemic investors are looking for safe havens they were looking at gold and

a cryptic currencies but then again gold seems to be more durable. yeah i mean of course gold has the longevity behind it to back it up and people are not going to be moving away from this asset very quickly especially during economic times as uncertain as these but in the end you know what is a valuable it's things that we as a society society agree are valuable right and for especially for digital natives they see a lot of tangible value in digital currencies in currencies that they can use buy and sell whenever and wherever they are regardless of the political situation so while there might not be. something you can hold your hand on the way there is with gold there is a certain tangible value there. so there's this tangible characteristic doesn't seem to be disaster important for as you mentioned digital navel natives a millennial they're the ones who actually invest in bitcoin the most right now. yeah that's for sure this is definitely the demographic that's leading the interesting bit coin has been the last 12 years since the essence of the

cryptocurrency showed up on the scene we're talking emeline else we're also starting to see jen's use well as they're coming of age but now that we're seeing a lot more institutional interest like from investment banks from pay pal like we saw on 2020 of course the demographic interest in changing as well so we're starting to see you know older investors who are who are interested in in a safe asset or presumably safe like bitcoin especially with a pandemic ravaging the global economy right now all right as we said i don't need bitcoin those could the currencies the safe havens do it especially well jean crises and pandemic what are the chances for bitcoin to be a safe haven assett when the crises are all the. yeah well that's a great question it's really going to depend on if that if it coin is able to really iron out some of this volatility or are going we're seeing really a lot of volatility as we saw 12 percent fall today so we're going to need to see some stability there before we're going to have

a safe safe haven in decline in the long term all right brilliant kristie plants in there from business thank you so much for that thank you. global comic is raising the alarm over a shortage of semiconductors that could cripple sales this year a number of firms have warned that they will not to meet their production talk it's because of the problems supplies blame the pandemic and exploring demand for electric vehicles or exploding to mount electric vehicles meanwhile kind history bosses say chip makers prioritize high paying customers in the tech sector. all right let's get to the bottom of this for more let's bring in our financial correspondent who is in frankfurt tell me who or what is really to blame for this shortage. you know money both really the chip makers and the car makers are to blame the chip makers most of them based in asia have been very reluctant to

invest in their production facilities for many years also because margins have been very slim now with the pandemic and you know this huge acceleration of the shift towards digital products and digital applications has cost huge demand for computer chips and. this comes of course from many parts of the tech industry so the comic are seeing competition from other industries demanding semiconductors the coming years have for many years been putting a lot of pressure on their suppliers they have permanently tried to negotiate down the prices also for semiconductors now they get to feel this competition from other tech industries who are obviously more generous more friendly and more convenient customers for the chip makers right i mean this competition doesn't really come out of the blue question is all comic is right now equally affected by the shortage.

no for all i could find out folks is affected also timer or mercedes and the sun as well on the other hand b.m.w. says they're pretty relaxed about the problem also opel which is the german you know subsidiary of the presumed group says they don't have a problem of course we also know that demand for cars and production of cars has been affected by the pandemic quite a lot as well so it's difficult to evaluate from the outside how this plays in here and how all this is connected right in frankfurt from the trading floor for once thank you very much for this mission. time now for a quick look at some of the other business stories making news. china is also make a really which own sweden's volvo will form

its success. it is almost as if nothing had ever happened here life is back to normal in the city where the corona 'd virus 1st emerged china has brought infection rates down to almost 0 in an exuberant exhibition the communist party celebrates victory in what it calls its war on the epidemic with tributes to soldiers and medics who work themselves to exhaustion during the outbreak but 1st and foremost the party celebrates self and the general secretary xi jinping was hailed as the man who led the country to victory. junk high is one of them he is on his way to the municipal government. but isn't this the people's government taking pictures is not allowed. to look like

the country i mean i think they should change their name from the people's government of one hand to the bureaucrats government of on one hand. john hi normally lives in the southern city option but returned home to one man in january when his father broke his hip the elderly man received free treatment at a military hospital this was where he caught cold it and later died. john rice says his father would still be alive if the authorities in one hand had not covered up the early stages of the outbreak he is trying to file a case in court against the government. so. i've been very upset since i came back to 100. years or so i'm sad and angry at the same time you know for that's my current state of mind. for that i can't stand all this propaganda about the achievements in the fight against. all the
