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 declaring 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 as unconventional and she will choices as his entire presidency. let's get more we are joined by reporter william group 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 trick your 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 a century prohibit him from ever running for public office ever again meantime 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 there after. i grew up in austria and very aware of kristallnacht well the night of broken glass he was and i though framed bage against the jews carried out in 1000 stood the 8 that the nazi equivalent of the proud boyce. once there was that they have broken glass right here in united states the broken gallows was in the windows of the

united states capitol but the mop did not just shout of the windows of the capitol to shatter the ideals we took for granted they did not just break down the doors of the building that housed the american democracy they trampled the very principles on which our country was found that. a dramatic a horrific comparison there what do you think his intention was in making this comparison. well 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 look back and many historians say christiane up to 938 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 at the time the united states could come out of a 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 are you know given that change of leadership from a historical perspective schwartz never says the trump will go down in history as the worst president ever in the united states but listen i do believe that we must feel we have to die the consequences of selfishness and cynicism president truong

sought to overturn the results of an election and of election you saw the cool but misleading people with mas my father nani was misled also with lies and i know we're subsidizing the. president is a failed to the he will go down in history as the worst president of a. the good thing is to do so will be relevant as an org tweet he uses the word irrelevant there well perhaps pick up on not a little bit because ultimately 70000000 u.s. citizens did vote for donald trump so where does that leave the country 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 we should know that arnold schwarzenegger is a long time critic of donald trump he and the president have gotten into quite the twitter social media wars in the past especially when it came to immigration and these kinds of things so short a negative self 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 are one staunch republican trump allies being heckled being threatened because they're now seeing to break to break ranks so this is a very serious brown the republican party as 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 regardless of who's in charge. croft breaking it all down for us thank you. you're watching d.w. news still to come on the program we will take a look cook closer look at francis coronavirus vaccination campaign critics condemned the slow roll out but many french people don't even want the job. but 1st divers have been scouring the sea floor off of the intimidation island of java in the search for a crash 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. it's

a delicate operation for these divers dodging sharp debris to find vital clues. like this underwater robot was deployed to help them search the seabed but. authorities are amping up their efforts to recover the plane and its passengers thousands of rescue personnel are taking part in the operation. to protect them anything that we can retrieve the debris the victims and whatever else we will try to access the quicker we can find the victims the better. yeah hospitals are now examining d.n.a. given by family members of the victims to identify remains. this 3 week jaya air flight left jakarta airport on saturday bound for

a 90 minute journey to pontiac. contact was broken just minutes after takeoff during heavy rain the aircraft lost altitude and plunged into the java sea. it's the 3rd major plane crash in indonesia since 2014 it could take months before relatives of the victims find out why their lives were cut short. now let's get more now we are joined by a correspondent prieto kusa mapuche tree she's been following the latest from the plane crash from jakarta house the search operation produced any new information. yet the indonesian search team have recovered what looked like to be that terrifying. aircraft. which crashed in the jeff a c n n saturday and they also recovered facts of human remains as well as the pieces of the plane's tail on the rim of the wheel the emergency chute also the cool thing

and personal belongings from death passengers so far 16 backs of the body parts have been retrieved from the crash site and we're talking about the black boxes that the divers were closing in to the data recorder from the aircraft as you watch 82 they're still looking for the black boxes that investigators to get the green tassel identifying the victims may go with me what do they hope to learn from those black boxes. yes. cockpit voice and the flight data recorder could over. ask you why the plane came down just taking off oxygen. and the authorities said that they have located the 2 black box that's rooms air is your wife and they said that the divers were

over it and hoping to retrieve them soon. you know the black boxes the devices contains with warnings from the cockpit voice and the flight data recorder that the visuals leave it would understand it would help the protestant and glide by as to why the 77562 people and board and be as you want 82 at 12. 50 passengers on board all eaten events including 7 children and 3 degrees just briefly as we wait for that clarification of course there is the backdrop that one is very aware of that indonesia has the worst safety record already in the world what is behind that. yet the incident is the 1st major air crash since 189 passengers and crew were killed and to 1080 when a light year boys and their study backs also climbed into the sea and

you know if you're talking about. safety the expert says that it's due to a combination of economy social and it's your graphical factor have things e.s.p. set things improved but we know that even asians fast growing the asian sector has long been black by safety concerns even our innovation airlines world wants than for the you asked and european states but specifically talking about like why did the latest plan crash i think it's too soon to tell and we'll be keeping a close watch on this here. on the story for us thank you. let's get a check of some other stories making news north korean leader kim jong un has been named general secretary of the villain workers' party the title was held by both his father and his grandfather it is being seen as

a symbolic step meant to boost kim's authority as the isolated country faces new economic problems. kurdistan's former interim president assad or a chopper off has won a landslide victory in the central asian countries presidential election official results show that he won almost 80 percent of the votes it comes 3 months after supporters released him from prison violent protests that saw his predecessor resign. several 1000 people have rallied against coronavirus restrictions in the czech capital prague they say that the closure of restaurants hotels and other businesses has weighed on the economy and triggered a rise in unemployment and poverty the demonstrators largely did not wear face masks or abide by social distancing waters. authorities in france have imposed a 6 pm curfew on marsay after more than 20 cases of the new coated $1000.00 variant

were found in the mediterranean port city it is raising new fears that the government has not done enough to protect the population of vaccinations began last month but france has been lagging behind other european countries as you know used loosely salukis reports from paris. the opening of france's 1st vaccination center run by a town hold is a big event not just for the parisian suburb of pussy france hopes that centers like this will play a crucial role in its vaccination strategy. to produce cycle we will now backs in a medical personnel over 50 and then in 2 weeks we will 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 playing up in. 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 arised research. it's important to be part of this unprecedented moment in history as may of course see with its 40000 inhabitants want to show that we can really help in the fight against this global. endemic good new super good quality to me. but until now france has vaccinated considerably less people than many other european countries that has some people worried. well that roy up and up of course france is as usual lagging behind the british invented the 1st facts in lieu of 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 our biggest hope. the main problem seems to have been not just 6 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 crews of all feel 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. on the move was. put on as a bridge. 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 government 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. and 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 and to 2 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 masks face masks weren't of any use against the virus and now obviously they're saying you have to wear them almost 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 entered the east restrictions very quickly which then led to the high infection rates so the government the people here feel that the government is not really humbling this crisis very well what's more obviously the people of the political class is not really standing together one lady of a political party of the far left on a national just said for example that he was an anti vaccine 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 $18000.00 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 a building in at 6 o'clock 6 o'clock at night 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 fairly infection rates are going up again the government is now mulling over you know further restrictions which might mean a new lock down interview in a few weeks time really t w correspondent lisa lewis in paris thank you. brazil is trying to jumpstart its

covert vaccine campaign after facing criticism for its slow response the government announced that it will begin a nationwide an occupation program by february the country has the world's 2nd highest death rate from the pandemic making large public events like carnival impossible the festival has been postponed indefinitely but that's not stopping one men from celebrating in rio de janeiro. bringing the party to the people. every weekend and else in costa stages a mini carnival for residents in this hilltop village the legendary street parties may be on hold but the carnival spirit is being kept alive by this party of one. of the new this pandemic is a period where we have to adapt many of our old habits to survive so i thought why

can't i adapt this fun of and why can't i adapt a carnival party that's when i had the idea for you to do a day on. the streets of santa teresa brought to life again during the pandemic for residents it's a welcome moment of respite. there are few things to remember i think it reignites hope it brings joy and affection because things are very different for everybody santa teresa has always been a place that welcomes a lot of people from all over the world but it's very empty at the moment where it would be about the bring her to see something like this it's very beautiful to me to. his message where a mask wash your hands share love. people here wait for the day when they can replace their protective masks with party masks. them in time elsewhere in the world of these 4 people have until. after spain store its heaviest

snowfall in decades prime minister pedro sanchez is appealing to people to stay indoors with much of the country still at a standstill burtynsky crews have rescued at least 1500 people from their stranded vehicles storm filomena brought 60 centimeters of snow to madrid the most the spanish capital has seen in half a century despite widespread disruption many came out to enjoy the free conditions with mass snowball fights breaking out in the city center raising concerns about social distancing not being maintained. but there's been quite a concentration of people and it's a shame because with a pandemic i don't think that is the most prudent thing at the moment but when. there aren't enough shovels and a lot of young people are just throwing snowballs when they could be helping we're lacking leadership from the politicians. the army has been mobilized to lead the

clear up with assistance from hundreds of civilian volunteers the focus is on keeping access to hospitals clear as many are due to receive deliveries of coded 19 vaccine the worst of the storm may be over but weather experts are warning people to be aware of bitter cold over the next few days. we must take extreme precautions and all our daily activity the snow fall it hit the peninsula with unusual force is now being followed by a cold wave with minimum temperatures never reached here before that requires particular caution and patience the government is organizing convoys to carry vaccines and food supplies to areas cut off by the snow fall and madrid's mayor is warning residents that for much of the next week it will remain difficult to get around. you're watching d.w. news coming up global $3000.00 heads toward kong one year after the corona virus

problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there what i'm going to. want to know their story in full migrants terrified controllable information for margaret's. welcome to global 3000. this week we meet women in kenya determined to escape the clutches of gender based violence. we find out how the internet can often new opportunities for those living and are made to villages. but 1st we go to china the city of whom han is working towards some semblance of

normality down. almost a year since the coronavirus pandemic broke out many countries are now running vaccination programs the biggest vaccine developers expect to be able to produce more than $5000000000.00 doses in 2021 with 2 doses necessary per person that would mean around a surge of the global population could be immunized this year none the less it will take a while before all the almost $8000000000.00 people on the planet vaccinated yet time is pressing 2000000 people have already died of covert 19 and infection rates continue to rise many countries remain under lockdown economies have ground to a halt leaving many people struggling to make ends meet but china's hu hand where the pandemic began things are different at least officially. this chinese hip hop artist raps about love happiness and life struggles even if

not about a more immediate issue here in the corona virus. the only reminders of the pandemic in this concert venue are the mosques and the way audience members keep a little distance from each other. we haven't been able to go to live concerts like this for a long time due to the pandemic. i'm thrilled. i think she's doing what many people around the world wish they could do again going out to enjoy themselves and not worrying about the coronavirus. everyone was afraid during the pandemic now it's getting better. it's been about one year since the virus is believed to have made the jump to humans on seafood market. the government tried to play down the extent of the outbreak. we

went to war in search of facts what we found was a city in a state of emergency. there is still major skepticism over the official numbers for corona virus cases and deaths 2 days after we shot our force age the city was closed off completely leaving 11000000 people under lockdown. among them young song he became a blogger during the pandemic posting videos of daily life for this family back then we interviewed him in his apartment via smartphone. my son is already forgotten that there are playgrounds outside. his 1st video picked up 30000000 views here young song is being disinfected by his wife as he enters their parliament. back then the world's focus was still on china the virus seemed far away. we got 130000 more followers in a single night. we visit young song at his home

a year after the corona virus outbreak he and his wife are still very wary of the virus the family voluntarily stay 2 months longer in quarantine and they do it again due to a lack of faith in their government. the greatest concern now is how to survive financially. the pandemic has had may to konami consequences for everyone that's why i have a province has decided to make leisure parks and tourist attractions free of charge hopefully that will help boost consumer spending. this is healthy. they no fear a 2nd wave which would make their financial situation critical even so they're proud of their country and of themselves for getting through the lockdown. sure it was frustrating i just wanted to go out. and then i no longer had an income but

still had to make our monthly mortgage payments. so we can eat less spend less and buy less but i have to pay back the loan. on that. their apartment is now also home to what remains of his wife's teashop which did not survive if like many other small businesses it does not appear anywhere in official statistics. young song runs a driving school for digger operators who make drastic losses during the 1st 6 months. he needs the latest machines for his school but now does not have the funds. i borrowed money to buy 2 new vehicles but i haven't had any new trainees since february and i haven't earned anything it's been far too long since i had any new training. who hand today has

many faces for china it's a city of heroes who survived the virus and the lockdown that's also the story being told to visitors at an exhibition and mohan and of course she jumping is the greatest hero of them all to rooms of the exhibition or dedication to the president with imagery that emphasizes his role as a caring head of state who led china's successful fight against the coronavirus. doctors nurses and the military are shown standing shoulder to shoulder for many chinese a visit to the exhibition is a patriotic duty. which the people of great and the chinese nation as great china has done a good job. on is also a city of losers the many small shop owners and traders who went out of business who are struggling to survive and who are not part of this new heroic tale who has

also the city of the many people who contract the virus and those who died of it. some locals are quietly anonymously critical of the economic fallout. we meet a man who feels abandoned he helped as a volunteer without pay now he doesn't know how he'll make ends meet he's one of many ordinary working people who are afraid to speak openly. we're angry that the government didn't react sooner we're angry because they always do this they say it's not so bad then they suppress it because everyone is afraid of making a false move and losing their job everyone wants to fill their rice bowl. who can we see today is resurgent on the surface but there are cracks in the facade that state propaganda is trying hard to paste over the fear of oppression was for some greater than the fear of an you can damn equate something again missing from the official story. china was able to contain the virus because the government

imposed radical lockdowns and also because people pull together. violence towards women has risen sharply during the pandemic widespread curfews have provided fertile ground for abuse trapped indoors women around able to escape their own partners cramped living conditions fewest social contacts and limited access to support or increase the risk of physical and psychological abuse in families the u.n. estimates that in 2019 so even before the pandemic around 243000000 women and girls worldwide had been subjected to violence in kenya one woman is providing support to some in. the let me tell you go is the poor district of nairobi and the well known red light district we won't show any of the sex workers

for their protection gender based violence is rife and not just for sex with us. florence kayo also suffered abuse and now works to help girls in need it is not is it just in the in the in this village when you are at. it has a lot of talent is especially young girls been so lucky because i i got a good support doctor and that is what i'm still giving the other 2 are that gal's . it's estimated that one in 7 women in kenya has suffered gender based violence if you find help florence kay. set up the my he circles safe house to address the problem the regional location was this apartment building but it wasn't safe when we brought in a gal just from the community and then the family of the public church i knew about it's so they came at night to to destroy their. windows of their house and that's

what actually what that what made me to show more. now my goal safe house is in a safer part of nairobi 26 girls and young women live here 7 of them with children of their own they receive medical care counseling and legal help and most importantly they are in a supportive community mary is 15 she used to live with her grandmother and then her aunt who eventually told mary to leave one evening she met a man on the street. he took me home with him. his wife was very nice to me so i stayed then he started to do bad things to me i mean i thought he was a good man but he wasn't. mary is now pregnant at the statehouse she's found friends who understand what she's been through they have similar stories here they live more or less normal lives like one big family 'd. we're

doing well we're safe here florence is like a mother to us on the way florence kaos devoted to helping the girls create new lives for themselves grace is 13 she was raped several times now she's getting help and educational opportunities at the safe house she wants to become an engineer. then i can help people especially poor people who don't have access to electricity so. they rely on donations for rained school fees and food florence k.-a says society as a whole needs to address the underlying issues. things have been normalized so even if it's sexual violence people don't think it's something that can affect someone in future so and so because the law also is a bit reluctant when it comes to. to true to sexual cry. during pandemic lock downs and with schools closed cases of gender based violence

have soared so florence taylor has rented a 2nd building to shelter girls forced into sex work she is dismayed at the sheer scale of the problems. my gym going to my home but there are times that i feel that i'm not secure our anymore when i when i walk because i have confronted so many people on issues of sexual violence among us to gauss and women. but florence kayo will not be deterred she continues to offer love and support to girls a need and to fight for an end to tender based violence. oh my god. now it's time for global ideas this week we had to the forest covered andean mountains purina the forests are home to a wide variety of species including the rare spectacle back so one area has been

turned into a pious fear them a new national park. local farmers were initially apprehensive about the decision fearing for their livelihoods global ideas visited the area a few years ago during our recent return we showed local people the film we made back then and asked how the things changed in the meantime. it's the start of another working day for rangers in the mano national park. armando zuniga has decided to wear a cap today it's damp cool and cloudy here in the mountains of peru. he lives in a village at the edge of the park and used to be a farmer but he's proud of what he and his fellow rangers have achieved over the past few years.

and the idea that was brought up well that of. almost all the rangers in the park have learned how to put out forest fires. we've been trained as firefighters. it was a fire here recently and i helped to get it under control. and it's important for us to be well trained in fighting the i'm with but that's. about it armando zuniga lives in patton marco with his wife funny and their 3 children when still a farmer he was unhappy about the national parks because nobody was allowed to plant crops there while the locals faced a shortage of arable land but a lot has changed since then. when then. especially. with farming used to provide a living for a lot of people here. my wife and i grew corn. that was our

main source of income of corn and potatoes. but since 2014 with the help of the frankfurt zoological society and we in the village of learned to grow new and different crops. and was stuck on the on the wall when the when there was no faisel it's berries have proved a great success they're not new to the area but people used to grow them just for their own consumption with the help from frankfurt their cultivation has become more professional and new markets have opened. up an issue just like it on the i'm so you can least about the money i'm making with feisal list. maybe it's improved my family's financial situation. but i think i think the club is abundant.
