i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program in india the supreme court has temporarily halted the implementation of controversial do agricultural laws that have led to widespread protests from farmers the chief justice says that the court will form a committee to hear their grievances against the long tens of thousands of farmers have been camped out on the outskirts of delhi for more than a month they say the laws benefit large private buyers at the expense of producers nearly 60 percent of india's population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. correspondent and her child terry is standing by with a view from delhi so many are what working you tell us about the court's decision well before the decision came in there were air tran's of conversations and negotiations between the government and the formal groups which ended up in deadlock there was no outcome that the breached now the supreme court the top court of the country has decided to put

a temporary halt on the implementation of these laws in an attempt to find a solution at the supreme court and also previously expressed disappointment with the government by the way the government handled this crisis now the court has formed a 4 member committee of agricultural expert on the left foot in an attempt to find a solution to the deadlock what was so controversial about the laws. well these 3 laws of the government with trying to bring in according to the government were really good for the farmers of the government these laws would have allowed the farmers to produce them to market reduce more freely would have given them more opportunities to earn more and profit more and they also said that these laws would actually lead to better infrastructure and better infrastructure in agriculture because the increase private investment but that's exactly what the farmers i wanted to about the increase in private investment in creating private players and also the biggest concern has been about the minimum support price which we call the m.s.b. system which is essentially

a minimum assured income that the farmers get from the government agencies when they directly buy that for juice from the farmers and these laws according to the farmers would create a situation in which the government agencies would buy less and less hence making the minimum support price system is relevant and so given all of that what are now the next steps in this process and what is the reaction likely to be. the early reaction which have come from the farmers are yes that they are seeing it as a positive development but they're not giving up as they say they are pretty determined that they will not leave the site of protests unless they see the tree farm law is permanently repealed. joining us from delhi thank you. in the united states the f.b.i. is warning there could be more violence in the days before joe biden takes office this coming one day after the democrats introduced an article of impeachment against president trump accusing her him of inciting insurrection at the capital

that could make him the only president in history to face impeachment twice. this in a week after protesters stormed it. was the capital is much changed and the author 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. 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 making or encourage inciting right encouraging sedition and you know even though it's 10 days i think that you know how to consequence this reaction should mean

something no matter who it is and i think the inflammatory words of senator cruz and senator we clearly. and strongly. sometimes. i think we should hold them accountable i don't know that 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. and for more let's bring in now joel joel wright from t w who's joining us with the view on you know the fact that this is one week left now in office for u.s. president donald trump so what would the significance of impeachment be impeachment was send a message that it is unacceptable in a democracy to undermine the legitimacy of elections and encourage people to attempt to violently overturn their results it would also have the effect of

barring donald trump from standing for office again if he should choose to do so but it's a very lengthy process it would require not only to pass the house which it is likely to do but it would also have to find support in the senate where we need a 2 thirds majority which the democrats do not have at the moment the number of republican senators who have spoken out against strength is in the single digits it's not nearly enough and in fact one republican senator who did vote last time to impeach trump mitt romney has suggested that he does not think that this is the way forward republicans have to think about their future after all 48 percent of voters did select donald trump and that is a significant base that is not going to go away they have to worry about upcoming elections like the midterms are they can just afford to ignore all that base and we also have to remember this is a lengthy purses it's going to last possibly until after donald trump leaves office so democrats may actually be giving donald trump fresh oxygen atoms 1st platform

after he's already stepped or after his left office and for those of us around the world who thought we had heard the last of don't trump we may be hearing a lot more from and about him for some time to come what has trump and the white house been saying well we haven't heard much from trump because of course he has been banned on multiple social media platforms we know that officially he has signed an emergency declaration for the washington area covering the you know gratian period he has also met with the vice president mike pence which is being taken as a sign of the to much of the reconciling and pence might not use that 25th amendment that he could use to try and remove trump. it's been reported that he's spending a lot of time on the phone to loyalists still complaining about the election result and also buying into this latest conspiracy theory that says that it was not in fact trump supporters who stormed the capitol but the leftist anti far movement now this conspiracy theory can be disproven through photographic evidence and also in

the profiles of those people who have already been arrested but we can see that it seems they don't trump is living still in a parallel reality as we mentioned we have a little over a week before the u.s. not to ration we have none force the agency is now warning that security is very much at risk that we could see more unrest in the united states just walk us through how they might be preparing for that right now well the f.b.i. has warned that there could be armed protests in all 50 states and there have been social media posts calling for militia to come out and march in the capitol itself some 15000 national guard troops can be deployed on an old aeration day now that is going to take place you know gratian will take place on a stage in front of the capitol building the same place where we saw all those riots scenes just a week ago now the mayor of washington is actually calling for people to stay away entirely even joe biden supporters because of course you have to remember we're in

the middle of a pandemic so the last thing they want is huge crowds coming together the birth health and security reasons so when joe biden is does take that stage he's going to use the same american united more of a hope the new reality at the moment but there won't be many crowds there will be huge security it will be an old aeration unlike any other i did at the news thank you for. thall there have been more concerns about safety at the inauguration as we've been hearing following the unexpected resignation also of the us public security chief acting homeland security secretary chad wolf has announced that he is stepping down for what he described as procedural reasons that wolf became the latest senior trumpet ministration official to quit following last week's deadly mob attack on the u.s. capitol his resignation comes days after he pledged that he would remain in office

a solution for this part and a federal judge in the u.s. has granted a last minute reprieve and blocked the execution of convicted murderer at least among gun marie on mental health grounds the only woman on death row in federal prison she was due to be executed today instead a court will conduct a hearing to decide if she is mentally competent to understand the judgment. her crime was horrific but lisa montgomery supporters say she doesn't deserve to die in 2004 she gruesomely murdered a pregnant woman and took her unborn child who survived it was an act of violence by a woman who had experienced much herself starting from her childhood in an oklahoma trailer one gone murray's lawyers say she suffered incest gang rape and brain damage from domestic violence requiring heavy medication people have to understand that children that go through childhood abuse it

changes who they are. i went through that any took me years and years to overcome it but i also had a good foundation that helped me overturn it lisa did not have the indication and she was broken montgomery was sure jewel to die by lethal injection supporters have campaigned for her to be spared due to her mental state and poor legal representation a court will review her case and decide if she can understand her sentence if the judgment is upheld she could become the 1st woman executed in the u.s. in almost 70 years federal executions were restarted under outgoing u.s. president donald trump 10 prisoners have been killed since july. i think it so i repaired which i think it's a product of hard heartedness by our leaders who are just trying to make a political point instead of being our. instead of being

human about it. it's a political message to kill people montgomery is being held in a federal prison in indiana her fate will now be decided to jury in the term of incoming president joe biden who once supported the death penalty but it's now pledged to end its use. of us take a look at some other stories making news around the world indonesian media say that navy divers have retrieved one of the black boxes from the wreckage of the airliner that crashed on saturday fishbowls hope that the flight recorders will help them determine what caused a boeing 737 to plunge into the say they say the prudent not to claire an emergency or report technical problems. the trumpet ministration has we designated cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism secretary of state like on pay i made the announcement slapping new sanctions on of anna restoring diplomatic ties with cuba was among

shows 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 started health minister ban has appealed to nurses and doctors once again. this one kind of that's why i can only keep calling for health care workers to get vaccinated not only out of a sense of responsibility for themselves but also for that was a careful way to treat him from dust. more information about the corona vaccination is therefore planned to be provided and more information is also what nas vivian kaufman would like to see with that she says she would probably be totally convinced. and elsewhere in the corona virus pandemic the world health organization has warned that herd immunity from the virus will not be achieved globally by the end of the year that's if the vaccine makers manage to step up their production
