it 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 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 his unconventional and she will choices as his entire presidency. straight to washington. bureau chief in a poll welcome. so what's likely to happen today. right so democrats urged vice president mike pence to invoke this 25th amendment amendment which would remove president donald trump from office only 9 days before joe biden takes over but phil this will fail and will be shot down by republicans that's pretty sure what most people are paying attention to today

here in the united states is whether the democrats are still planning to write up a particular of impeachment which are expected to happen on tuesday or wednesday and is that likely to be any more successful this time than when they tried it last time. actually no it's not likely that this will succeed this time they won't be probably able to remove the president from office before biden takes over on january 20th but we have seen more and more established republicans who are also finally fed up of a strong and would like to see him kicked out of office as more and more put it isn't from both sides really want to set an example that no future presidents can just get away with the action we saw the last week at the capitol however there is

also the other option the democrats wait until 100 days into the biden term and then introduce all sequels of impeachment and to attempt to disqualified from from running for office ever again we would normally expect to hear see a flurry of tweets from the president in response to the sort of actions of course he's banned from twitter so does anybody have. what he's thinking. that's right we don't really know what he's thinking right now we hear that he might plan to travel down to texas to go to the border to celebrate the border wall which he sees in many of his supporters actually it's one of his biggest successes in his presidency but most and mainly it has been really silent and you know phil we have to keep in mind there are still huge concerns the war from supporters and more radical term supporters are planning to come back to washington before

inauguration day and everybody is kind of waiting for president trump to address this issue but so far silence from the white house tell you that it is serious poll in washington meanwhile full of california governor arnold schwarzenegger has weighed in on last week's violence in the capital in a video posted on social media the film's star described president trump as a failed leader and said the right reminded him of nazi violence against jews i grew up in austria and very aware of kristallnacht with the night of broken glass he was a knight of rampage against the jews carried out in 1038 but the nazi equivalent of the proud boyce. whilst it was that they have broken gus right here in the united states the broken glass was in the windows of the united states capitol but the mop

did not just shout of the windows of the capitol shot at 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 founded they don't report to our until term has been following this story our own kristallnacht is is a he was a huge event and germany's nazi history so how is this comparison been received well this video seem to have kind of touched a nerve in the united states i mean it was viewed tens of millions of times within or the rather short order right after all sorts are posted it and i really kind of think you have to look at this is kind of the opening salvo in a fight for the soul of the republican party you have to remember governors warts and very much represent a different brand of conservatism to present donald trump you know he's a more traditional conservative he's physically conservative but in terms of the modern republican party his social views are a little bit more liberal he's more in line with the policies of the ninety's and early 2000 and especially when you compare that to you know the policies of

president from where we've seen a more nationalistic need of his taken even authoritarian bend to the party it's hard to see how both men can really exist in the same party at the same time and what i think this video is tapped into is kind of this feeling that some of these more more old school conservatives need to readdress their role in the party and maybe take back some of the ground that's been ceded to donald trump in recent years so those were his comments about events on that night it's let's hear from him when it comes to the president himself i do believe that we must be a we have to dire consequences of selfishness and cynicism president trump sought to overturn the results of an election and of a failed action you saw the coup misleading people with us. it was misled also with lies and i know with such lies lead president trump is a failed to the 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 until then what do you think will donald trump very be no more relevant than an old tweet i think this is some wishful thinking on the part of governor swartz an acre i mean more than anyone else i think since reagan donald trump has really managed to read brand the conservative movement in the united states and he has made it his party for better or for worse right now you have to remember looking back at the last general election he got 74000000 people to vote for him that is one of the best results in the history of the american presidential election and many of these people weren't previously aligned with the republican party they weren't in that big tent a lot of them were disaffected voters who hadn't been to the polls in years and now for better or for worse they are in that big tent with the rest of them and they are going to want to make their voices heard moving forward and donald trump has an ability beyond a many other politicians he can inject themselves into any political debate he wants to and that's what we've seen time and time again for the last several years

so even when he leaves office on the 20th he's still going to be a factor in american policy politics in these people he's motivated behind him are going to be a huge factor in the republican party moving forward so no i can agree with governor schwarzenegger he's going to be a force to be reckoned with for years to come thank you so much for that matter until thank you for well in the aftermath of the capital siege the professional golfers association of america says it will be locate the 2022 p.g.a. championship away from trump national golf club in bedminster new jersey the board of directors said he didn't want to risk damaging the p.g.a. reputation by further associating with the president. when he wasn't at the white house president donald trump could often be found meaning with politicians and business executives on a golf course the trump organization alone on 17 golf courses around the globe

but on sunday the p.g.a. of america cut all ties with the president they voted not to hold the 2022 p.g.a. championship on trump's national golf club in new jersey the decision comes just days after a pro trump mob stormed the u.s. capitol in washington for the p.g.a. board of directors it was the tipping point has become clear that conducting the p.g.a. championship trumpet mr would be detrimental to the p.g.a. of america bring out. the trump organization has hit back highlighting the financial bill this is a breach of a binding contract and they have no right to terminate the agreement we have invested many millions of dollars in the 2022 p.g.a. championship at trump national golf club but this is not the 1st time an event on a trump property has been cancelled and 2015 the p.g.a. called off the grand slam of god after trump's comments on mexican immigrants. trans days in the bike house are numbered but he leaves

a trail of chaos both off and on the golf course. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now u.s. president elect joe biden has named veteran diplomat william burns as his cia director mr burns is a former ambassador to russia and jordan and later became deputy secretary of state regarding 2014th around the kani endowment for international peace. place in the path of plaster thousands of protesters demanding the restatement of the monarchy become trysts a numerous protest since the prime minister failed to honor a pledge to split with his co-leader the holes were only he was abolished more than a decade ago and the country turned into a democratic republic. german vaccine make a bomb tech is to provide more coronavirus jobs this year than previously thought it's increased its production forecasts from $1300000000.00 doses to $2000000000.00

a day in recent weeks despite. various types of restrictive measures that we've had in place here since at the beginning of november a lot of people have said that that the lockdown in the run up to christmas was it really tight enough and we may be seeing the effects of that now chancellor merkel has said that we get to see the full impact of socialising over christmas and the new year holiday so i think you're nobody knows for sure exactly why but infections are spreading and the government says that private meetings between individual socializing is the main problem in germany cross to the samba threshold of this weekend 40000 covered deaths and these tightened restrictions how are germans taking all this bad news. well i of course feel as in many places there is real corona fatigue game germany people just want this to be over and i think in response to these bad numbers new

a new record of deaths. people are not in panic but there's a sense of urgency that something needs to be done new restrictive rules are being introduced from today around germany the federal states imposing restrictions on how many people can meet and think for instance travel restrictions on people arriving in germany and some people places people are only being allowed to go up to 15 kilometers from their hometown in places where infections are high so new ideas are also on the on the horizon people saying that the free market should be handed out to everybody or they want more pressure on employers to allow people to work from home and there's a lot of ideas there's a sense of urgency and surveys also show that the number of people willing to follow the rules on squaring and distancing is well over 90 percent so that doesn't

seem to be the problem but of course all of that is just what we already have in place and that doesn't seem to be working fast enough and house germany's vaccination program progressing. well there's some good news there we got more than 600000 people in germany have now been vaccinated and the 2nd e.u. approved vaccine the medan a vaccine is being delivered around europe from the manufacturing site in switzerland from today it's expected that the 1st medan of vaccinations will be administered next week and as you reported by own text says that it can do 2000000000 doses of its vaccine this year so 2 vaccines in very much the hopes of beating corona are with the vaccines right now. political correspondent simon young thank you. well those extended coronavirus restrictions here in germany once again making life difficult for school children parents with school closures no shuttle

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. plato's teachers students and use their own private laptops to remotely support these homeschooling efforts. here they offer a question and answer session several times a week via video but teaching 6 year olds to read write and do mass remotely it's difficult. and. you 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 the ones who simply can't learn at home because of the number of siblings and the lack of space mr 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 or top

experts say this should have happened long ago. and any better now than i were in march last year because the teachers are simply wired their own devices and figured out what works best for their research but the government was asleep on the job loss of i don't hear many of us laugh. do you berlin's high infection rates this school will remain closed for the time being. back to feed his home schooling his mom was currently on preventing her husband is working there just about coping with homeschooling my. parents who are do you think you can work and teach your kids at the same time is an illusion i think if there's anyone saying i'm going to tell the world that it's impossible combine home office and. everyone in the family knows that this is not how it was meant to be just hope things will get back to the most soon. there are some of the developments
