and nurses have been working tirelessly to care for patients during the pandemic but will those same medical professionals protect themselves by getting back to nature we need some and for lent still skeptical about getting the shot. plus it's cold as winter weather wasn't enough for the homeless to cope with the pandemic is adding another unwanted layer of difficulty for those just trying to stay warm on the streets of delhi. and pressure is growing to remove beller roots as co-host of the ice hockey world championship later this year with an ongoing crackdown on protesters in the country critics believe the tournaments would lose the engine of longtime leader alexander lukashenko.

welcome to the show a last ditch effort in the united states to oust donald trump democrats and the house of representatives have introduced an article of impeachment against the president they charged the president with inciting insurrection 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. less than a week after protesters stormed it. the capital is much changed and the after effects 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 are parents 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. 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 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 ignored and encourage inciting a riot encouraging sedition and you know you know it's 10 days i think that you know how to consequences for action should mean something no matter who it is and i think the inflammatory words of senator cruz and saying we clearly had. been strong . and some points. here i think we should hold them accountable. history 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 happen 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 steps out for 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 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 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. what a member the republicans have to think about their long term strategy here to 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 after trump has even left office that's what we're hearing from the from democrats as a more of a symbolic act to bar him from office but it also means for those of us around the world who thought we had heard the end of chum 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 the state of emergency declaration for washington and privately it's been reported that he's making a lot of phone call. as 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 all claims that it was actually left wing insurgents from the neighbors group anti father who were involved in storming the capitol 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 law enforcement agencies bracing for ahead of the inauguration will the f.b.i. says it is prepared because he they believe that supporters might hold up the protests in up to 50 states around the nation in the coming days as there's apparently threats and on old ration day itself the pentagon has also asked 15000 troops to be in the capitol they put up fences around the building and maybe a little too late you might say but washington's mayor is actually urging people to stay away for the inauguration with confort it is also the coronavirus pandemic to

think about so instead of crowds we're going to see just a very small number of people out there is supporting the incoming president joe biden it will be in an old aeration like no other right. thank you very much. there have been more concerns about safety at that inauguration following the unexpected resignation of the u.s. public security chief acting homeland security secretary chad wolf has announced he's stepping down for what he described as procedural reasons wolf becomes the latest senior trump administration official to quit following last week's deadly attack on the u.s. capitol. nation comes days after he pledged that he would remain in office for. the divers are searching the ocean floor off the indonesian island of java looking for the flight recorders from the passenger jet that crashed on saturday authorities hope information contained on the recorders will clarify why the boeing 737 came down minutes after takeoff from jakarta 62 people were on board.
