getting the shot. plus my grand misery and the cold of a bosnian winter they're stuck in many without shelter on a long journey towards the european union. chemical fresh welcome to the show it's history repeating itself in the united states democrats in the u.s. house of representatives have introduced an article of impeachment against donald trump they charged the president with inciting answer action following the deadly riot at the u.s. capitol last week trump is set to become the 1st u.s. president to face impeachment proceedings twice the vote could take place as soon as wednesday. this week after protesters stormed.
7:02 am
capital is much changed in the after affects are not just evident outside inside the democrats are intent on removing donald trump who they say is responsible for the violence. resolution calling on vice president michael r. pants to convene 1st the vice president was urged to use his constitutional authority to activate section 4 of the 25th amendment to declare president donald j. trump incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as acting president or what republicans quickly block the move i object democrats then introduced an article of impeachment against trump which could be voted on as early as wednesday it charges him with incitement of insurrection referring directly to last week's capitol rampage even if democrats have enough votes in the house it could be difficult to win over the senate the main issue is not on the
7:03 am
house side it's on the senate side senate is not around they're not scheduled to come back until the 19th and so there's really nothing forcing them to do anything . quicker than that and a trial again if if they want it they could rush it through but they would not want to do that neither side. whether it be sooner or later many washington residents feel action needs to be taken seems pretty clear that the president was breaking the law and encourage inciting right encouraging sedition and you know even though it's 10 days i think that you know how the consequences for action should mean something no matter who it is and i think the inflammatory words of senator cruz and senator lee we really. been strong. and sometimes. i think we should hold them accountable i don't think history
7:04 am
will look back on this and if we do not act on this moment we fail and so i think that's really critical that we do our job as americans as a government to put down the possibility of this ever happening again but you have to go with the president having just over a week left in office lawmakers will be pressed to move fast. for more i'm now joined by a report in chilled all right joe welcome john has one week left in office why so impeach him now well that would send a message that undermining electoral results and encouraging people to try and overturn the results is not acceptable behavior in a democracy but also it would bar trump from ever standing for office again judy decide to do so after he is there so how far he leaves office now of course impeachment faces huge hurdles that it's going to pass the house no doubt but it also has the pos the senate and it would have to do so with the 2 sides majority
7:05 am
which the democrats do not have that means many republicans would have to vote with them and so far the number of republicans who have publicly spoken out against trump is still in the single digits is very far what would be needed the one republican senator who actually did vote to impeach trump last time mitt romney has also said that he does suggest that he doesn't think it's the right way to go. little member the republicans have to think about their long term strategy here too more than 48 percent of voters voted for trump and they're not going away any any time soon and republicans have to think about midterm elections and going forward what's going to happen to those trump supporters and of course impeachment is a very lengthy process it could now last until off the trump has even left office that's what we're hearing from the of from democrats as a more of a symbolic act so to bar him from office but it also means for those of us around the world who thought we had heard the end of trump we're going to be hearing a lot more from and about him so ironically by trying to silence trump democrats

may actually be giving him more oxygen in the future have there been any reactions from the white house from the president himself to that move well of course we haven't heard much from him because he has been banned from social media from twitter and facebook but he has been making some official acts for example he did also rise a state of emergency declaration for washington and privately it's been reported that he's making a lot of fear. coals to his loyalists still complaining about the electoral results and according to one report from the new site he's also now indulging in the latest conspiracy theory which says that or claims that it was actually left wing insurgents from the neighbors group who were involved in storming the capital not his supporters now of course this is clearly false you can see it from the images but it means the trump any supporters are still living in some kind of parallel reality ahead of joe biden swearing in the security situation is delicate not only in washington d.c. what are blah and forstmann agencies bracing for ahead of the inauguration will the

f.b.i. says it is prepared because he they believe that supporters may hold up the protests in up to 50 states around the nation in the coming days if there's there's apparently threats and on alteration day itself the pentagon has also lost $15000.00 troops to be in the capital there put up fences around the building it may be a little too late you might say but washington's mayor is actually urging people to stay away for the inauguration concert is also the coronavirus kind to me to think about so instead of crowds we're going to see just a very small number of people out there supporting the incoming president joe biden it will be in an old aeration like no other right. thank you very much. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the trump administration has reid designated cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism secretary of state made the announcement slapping new sanctions on have and of restoring diplomatic ties with cuba was among barack

i am still very cautious when it comes to the vaccine and still of the defrayed of it because it hasn't been around for a very long time so i can't say right now i'm 100 percent convinced of it. skepticism about that is apparently not rare in december a survey of the german society for intensive care medicine t.v. show that one in 4 doctors and one in 2 nurses do not want to get vaccinated against the corona virus but according to devi that might have changed now that the vaccination process stopped the health minister. has appealed to nurses and doctors once again. that's why i can only keep calling for health care workers to get vaccinated not only out of the sense of responsibility for themselves but also for those they careful and treat him from the us and. more information about the corona
