but so is much changed and the aftereffects 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 the senate is not around they're not scheduled to come back until the 19th and so there is 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 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 clearly. going strong at. some point. yeah i think he should hold them accountable i don't think 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 happening again but you have to go with the president having just over a week left in office is what we promised to move fast. and for more let's bring in now joel dole right from d.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 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 barr and donald trump from standing for office again if you 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 it would need

a 2 thirds majority which the democrats do not have at the moment the number of republican senators who have spoken out against strong is in the single digits it's not nearly enough and in fact one republican senator who did vote last time to impeach trunk 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 that base now we also have to remember this is a lengthy pursers 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 off to his left office and for those of us around the world who thought we had heard the last of donald trump we may be hearing a lot more from and about him for some time to come what has been 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 inauguration period he has also met with the vice president mike pence which is being taken as a sign that the 2 might be reconciling and appends might not use that 25th amendment that he could use to try to remove trump. avidly 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. integration we have law enforcement agencies 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 $15000.00 national guard troops can be deployed on inauguration 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 all's well as 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 for birth health and security reasons so when joe biden is does take that stage he's going to use the same american united perhaps more of a hope than 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. did i thank you. for there has also been concerns about safety at that an occupation following the unexpected resignation 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 wolf becomes the latest senior trump administration 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 solution and take a look at some other stories making news around the world the trump administration has read as if needed as a state sponsor of terrorism secretary of state might one pale made the announcement slapping new sanctions on havana restoring diplomatic ties with cuba was among president barack obama's biggest foreign policy achievements cuba's

foreign minister condemned the new move calling it political opportunism. a german led police operation has taken down what is believed to be the world's largest net marketplace prosecutors say dark market was used to sell drugs stolen credit card data and malware it had nearly half a 1000000 users and over 2000 vendors as the pandemic led to much of the narcotics trade going online. world leaders have pledged over $14000000000.00 to tackle the climate crisis they were at the one planet summit which oversees the implementation of the paris climate agreement and president emanuel mccrone said that the money will go to the great green wall project which aims to plant trees to stop the spread of the sahara desert. and india the supreme court has temporarily halted the implementation of controversial new agriculture laws that have led to

widespread protests from farmers chief justice says the court will form a committee to hear their grievances against the legislation tens of thousands of for. have been camped out on the outskirts of down east for more than a month to see the last benefit large private buyers at the expense of producers nearly 60 percent of india's population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. correspondent standing by with a view from delhi so many or what would you tell us about the court's decision well before this decision came in there were 8 rounds of conversation the negotiations between the government and the formal groups which ended up in deadlock there was no outcome that was reached 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 full member committee will explode in a 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 going to the government these laws would have allowed the promise to produce them to clock invented use more freely would have given them more opportunities to earn more and profit more they also said that these laws would actually need 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 privately called the m.s.b. system which is essentially a minimum assured income that the farmers get from the government agencies when they directly by the jews 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 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 would have come from the pharmacy yes that they're seeing it as a positive development but they're not giving up as they say they are creating the domain that they've been knocking at the site to protest unless they see the truth and follow its own actually. joining us from delhi thank you. investigators in indonesia may soon be able to say why an airliner crashed 4 minutes after taking off from jakarta on saturday indonesian navy divers have recovered the flight data recorder from the wreckage on the seabed north of the capital divers are still searching for the other black box containing cockpit recordings officials hope the data will help them determine what caused the boeing 737 to plunge into the water and say the crew did not declare an emergency or

report technical problems 62 people were on board. and joining us now is thomas freezer he is an aviation accident investigator he joins us from salzburg austria welcome to the program as we've heard divers have now recovered one of the 2 black boxes the flight data recorder why is this so significant. didn't say what you know so i leave you to asking him to define the somewhat boxes. we cood the saluki for some car with. some communications with the cockpit sound so the coup going to geisha lost communications a.t.c. which doesn't seem so well and at this time but. one step closer to the investigation and finding the probable cause of the accident. how long do you

think it could be before we know more about why this plane crashed or. well in allowed to rule the body wants to know everything on the spot but actually up with dick's a geisha is why the forensic go into this to get. the sequence he served from the law from the cave an excerpt in which is doubling of the investigation process the call school at least the year that needs to be it into the media reporting about how the us do it to with an intermediate report stating what's going on right now and the normally i guess at least the e.o. till till there will be a final report dealt so we'll know and maybe some additional or some additional thoughts about it but the to find this so cos of the bomb it takes a while meantime we know you know some of the backstory here indonesia's flight safety record is relatively poor when we compare it to other countries why is that

. well it's all a meadow of everybody's falling in international standards but it's the middle of the supervision or gas you know of the authority going into into into the company so soon supervising them doing audit following the standards and seeing of what the difference to be international standards are and there might be some intercultural misuse to it which are always an issue in accidents and this serves the very special topic to the investigation but there are different different approaches off into what say up a standards also so i think this is also the reason why the international aviation community the auditing system the ascending other national service to doing this international stand of the sation audits but. i see the have

a track bottom of the safety record wilson i think they need to significantly improve and change the. thomas face after i thank you so much for joining us to share that expertise well thank you the bites off for. drug maker astra zeneca has applied for authorization for its coronavirus vaccine in the european union the job developed with oxford university would be the 3rd available for the e.u. after the pfizer buy on tac and moderna vaccines it could boost the $27.00 member blocks in humanisation program which has gotten off to a slow start the european medicines regulator says it's celebrating the approvals procedure and a decision could be possible by the end of the month. meanwhile the premier of the german state of area has raised the possibility of mandatory vaccinations for staff

in nursing homes the call comes as many medical professionals in germany are openly questioning whether they even want to get an ocular lated despite their collective proximity to the danger some are still reluctant to get the job our reporter tessa valter visited a hospital in berlin to find out why. putting on his protective gear before entering the room of a covert patient of routine for intensive care nurse sebastian schmidt he has been working with corona patients for months now and knows how important it is to protect himself when coming into contact but an even better protection would be the corporal jab. we see. every day i see people dying from corona i see how patients are suffering how seriously do they become because of this virus that's why i would definitely like to be vaccinated against it. because most people concurred or going in for nasa and i also find that i have

a duty of care towards the public mcgrane of who are used. but not all doctors and nurses in germany share this opinion. is not against vaccination in general but when it comes to the corona she says she would rather wait and see. if could m.s.f. i'm 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 the jab is apparently not rare in december a survey of the german society for intensive care medicine d.v. so 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 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 a sense of responsibility for themselves but also for those they careful and treat him from dust and. more information about the corona vaccination is therefore planned to be provided and more information is also what nurse vivian common would like to see with that she says she would probably be totally convinced. well it's going to look now at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic the world health organization has warned that herd immunity from the virus will not be achieved globally is by the end of next year that's if even if she's going to end this year at even if the vaccine makers manage to step up their production meantime lebannon is imposing a 24 hour lockdown for 11 days starting on thursday to stem its latest spike in new

up for the lack of snowplows in the country. hospitals already stretched by the coronavirus caseload have remained open with some health care workers tripling their shifts to cover for colleagues on able to make it in. some elderly patients are arriving on foot as ambulances struggle through the slippery streets with many roads still closed. while some have enjoyed the unusual weather it has left its mark on vulnerable parts of the population. on the outskirts of the capital the situation in deprived areas is proving particularly difficult where many residents don't want to risk using a merge and see shelters. venator not enough and in these times with the pandemic going on i'm not going to a shelter i still have a home right now but i don't have electricity. madrid residents hoping for

the cues to abusing the sport to critics say a world championship in better roofs would be used his image it's a process what we get is asian focused. on the stand for example delegations from other countries will call on countries from canada where you say money from your countries come to means it's means it's a. hit. the question. is the government's own government and its all the question from critics how can a country be allowed to host an international competition when peaceful protesters are being beaten up and thrown in jail members of the european parliament have now taken up the issue writing to the international ice hockey federation and calling for better reefs to be stripped of the tournament it. should not. play a common gain with the teachers regimes which are using so much violence

also against women children and peaceful demonstrations. the federation the i ate geoff and its president switzerland's rennie fossil have so far resisted taking the tournament's away from by the roost they did the same when the country lost hosted in 2014 even though they'd also been a crackdown on protests against ricocheting co. this is nice that this it's not the job of sport to somehow exert political pressure on something that politician isn't normally supposed to solve the political issues behind the scenes officials are looking into replacement hosts france ryan though president of the german ice hockey federation told t w the i.i.h.f. was having quote intensive and important technical discussions he added we hope that sport can make the difference here in the role of mediator. switzerland could

step in to host matches the country was supposed to hold this year's world championship until it was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and by the roof then might get a chance again in 2 or 3 years' time a classic compromise in the murky world where sport meets politics. a quick reminder of our top story democrats have formally introduced an article of impeachment for u.s. president donald trump they are charging the president with inciting insurrection it comes in the wake of the deadly riot at the u.s. capital last week. and coming up on news asia the u.s. and china by sending a top diplomat to taiwan what will it mean for the island's complex diplomatic relations it will speak to taiwan's representative in germany and china chips away at taiwan sovereignty how real is the threat of a military takeover we go over the scenarios. my
