biden on january the 20th security has been tightened in the capital 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 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 as unconventional and she will chew as 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
2:04 pm
articles the article i should say one article piece meant to the floor for a vote they have the majority and they could impeach the president the tricky question is then when that moves over to the senate for trial remember the senate is not in session right now will 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
2:05 pm
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 it was a night of rampage against the jews carried out in 1000 stood the 8 that the nazi equivalent of the probabilities wasted was that they have broken got us right here in the united states the broken goddess was in the windows of the united states capitol but the mob did not just shout of the windows of the capitol to shout at the ideals we do it 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 founded. well yeah a dramatic horrific comparison there what do you think his intention was in making
2:06 pm
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 not a 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
2:07 pm
right wing vigilantes or militiamen whatever you want to call them could pose a very serious problem for the republican for 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 in that way the 2 situations 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 let's listen i do believe that we must feel we have to die the consequences of selfishness and cynicism president trump sought to overturn the results of an election and a village who saw the cool but misleading people who would laos my father nono he was misled also with lies and i know with such lies lead. president trump is a failed the though he will go down in history as the worst president ever the good thing is to do so will be as irrelevant as an order tweet he uses the word
2:08 pm
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. $174000000.00 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 long time critic of donald trump and the president have gotten into quite the twitter social media past especially when it came to immigration and these kinds of
2:09 pm
things. even 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 in public officials who are one staunch republican allies being heckled being threatened because they're now seeing to great to break ranks so this is a very serious brown the republican party is to 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 we're doing that for many more years to come who's in charge. kroft breaking it all down for us thank you. and in the meantime u.s.

2:20 pm
now vaccinate medical personnel over 50 and then in 2 weeks we will over 75 but 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. have 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 even arised the get a receipt of. its 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 pandemic. support. but until now france has vaccinated considerably less people than many other

2:22 pm
these extremely low temperatures i prefer to take our time initially and proceed with caution to eventually reach the same result as other countries. out on the 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 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 now we have to
