president has now arrived in texas he's expected to speak again soon from alimony or the us mexico border let's go now to washington our bureau chief there in his old she's following events force could he see you eat is the president there very defiant as he was speaking to reporters what did you make of his remarks. right it took him days to speak and finally today he made his 1st public statements in person he told the white house press corps that he once no violence in the coming days leading up to in gratian day next wednesday here in washington and when he was pressed about a possible 2nd impeachment he reverted back to his favorite statement calling this the greatest witch hunt in the history and also insinuated that this impeachment might cause more violence in the news the president also has big tech in his sights

what's the story there. instead of taking responsibility for his actions last week he blamed indeed big tank for the anger of his supporters. specifically relating to his social media collins being suspended and also said that the speech he delivered ungenerous 6th when he told his supporters to walk towards the capital told him the appropriated and then he did what he actually always does he talked about other rights like in pittsburgh and try to draw the attention to violent black lives matter protests or so-called anti far supporters. in his he says that his comments last week were appropriate or his comments today in light of that will be likely to incite further action from his followers incite more violence. well he has indeed he said

that he doesn't one anymore of violence but we have to wait and see what he does after the how is probably wont to impeach him tomorrow we that's how we experienced him over the last 4 or 5 years that he's constantly kind of changing his political tactics so he might something different and even if he repeats and asks his supporters to not come within 1200 people here to washington or other state capitals this might be too little too late our rights are very own in this poll with the latest tonight from washington is as always thank you for in the aftermath of the u.s. capitol riot germany's biggest lender deutsche bank says that it will no longer do business with president trump or his companies and that's according to a report today in the new york times is the biggest lender to the trump

organization which is currently being run by the president signs the bank is also the focus of a financial crimes probe against donald trump a spokesman for the bay declined to comment on today's report. indonesian navy divers have recovered the flight data recorder from the wreckage of the airliner that crashed on saturday it was found on the seabed north of jakarta divers are still searching for the cockpit voice recorder officials hope information be covered from the devices will help them determine what caused the boeing 737 to come down 4 minutes after taking off from jakarta with 62 people on board there was no emergency call nor reports of technical problems. in lots of questions there let's pull in julian bray he's an aviation accident investigator he joins me tonight from cambridge in england mr graves good to see you again what will investigators learn from the data recorder. well look they have

recovered so far it's one of 2 days of all this is fast one is a flight data recorder and this week old every movement every switch every relay that's going off in that croft right up the point of this terrible tragedy well they haven't got is the cockpit voice recorder which is also on the timeline so when they get the 2 of them together they will have a complete picture of what actually was happening on that aircraft from a technical point of view also from the pilot's point of view so that is what they're doing now they've had $160.00 dolly of his going into the java sea clearing dandridge try and kate these it's about 23 meters deep so it's not an easy time they've also had $160.00 helicopters so this is a very dodgy recovery operation and do we know mr brake is there

a working theory at the moment about the likely cause of the crash. what do you have to look at the tape to eat oh so far this is pure speculation because there is a an official investigation going on right now and there are all sorts of very brilliant minds on this one but basically this aircraft had out of the sky it too it went 10000 feet in on drug mean it so that straight down into the ocean so what is not ruled out not ruled in the fact that it might be said of time however another thing has a bird tonight this sacred crowd was in storage or not it's not an early reason he came back and says this is because of the corona virus outbreak so the aircraft is stored brought back in thought it was set created as being. so

we need to think about that because there are many hundreds. going through a similar process at man you know much chance been made of indonesia's flight safety record and it being one of the worst in asia why is flying there so unsafe. well the the mere fact that this is actually raised off of the backs 8 if i might say as an actress there and all eyes. they have actually raise their game because the world is looking at indonesia so they have tried to put it around yes they had a rope the safety record out boy this particular is is said 37500 which is known as the classy so it is a very reliable sturdy act its mission is 26 years old but

that's the air frame that's all the components renewed on a regular basis so hopefully we'll have salons it's on very shortly when they recover the 2nd black belts mccall's they don't really lack they're actually painted they go orange all right aviation accident investigator julian bray has always been very we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you for yours our let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world gambling magnate sheldon adelson one of the richest men in the world has died at the age of 87 he was a powerful supporter of u.s. president donald trump and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at all since last vegas sands became the world's biggest casino company with uganda's opposition front runner bobby wine has warned of possible vote rigging in this week's presidential election the singer turned politician is the main challenger to

longtime leader you know where removed he was seeking a 6th term authorities have ordered internet providers to shut down social media ahead of thursday's poll. india's supreme court has temporarily suspended the implementation of controversial new farming laws that have been fueling weeks of protests in the capital critics say that the laws benefit large private buyers at the expense of producers nearly 60 percent of india's population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. for these farmers so much is at stake their livelihoods their future but now a cautious sigh of relief is possible especially for those from northern india weeks of protests did not fall on deaf ears at the supreme court the judges have suspended a controversial reform of agricultural laws at least for now after several rounds of talks between the government and farmers unions failed an independent committee

is set to mediate but the relief is new that the protest camps which were set up on the outskirts of delhi the court's decision does not address the farmers grievances or demands what we wanted to play minister believes and that is because he is not taking this fight i said he's not even. his back at the bottom of this i think if the supreme court thing were to split the farmers have now been suspended and the farmers from punjab and haryana who are protesting along the delis borders will call off their protest and leave then we'd like to say that we won't and the protester leave until all 3 farmers are permanently revoked during the 3 farm bills are aimed at liberalizing the market for agricultural products but farmers fear this would mean an end to guarantee prices for certain crops which many of them depend on to make ends meet. you want you didn't use live from berlin still to come

striking a pose in will haunt the city was once the epicenter of the global pandemic will meet the dancers who say that experience gave them a whole new appreciation for what you're seeing there are 4. of the drugmaker astra zeneca has applied for authorisation for its corona virus vaccine to be used here in the european union if approved the drug developed with oxford university would become the 3rd available vaccine for the e.u. following the pfizer biotech vaccines the european medicines agency says it's accelerating its approvals procedure and that a decision could be reached by the end of the month. meanwhile the premier of the german state of the very has raised the possibility of mandatory vaccinations for all staff in nursing homes the call comes as many medical professionals in the country are openly questioning whether or not to get inoculated despite their

proximity to the virus is danger reporter tessa walter visited a hospital here in berlin to find out why the reluctance for putting on his protective gear before entering the room of a covert patient diverting for intensive can substantiate he has been working with corona patients for months now and knows homeport notice to protect himself when coming into contact but an even better protection would be the current jab. we see. every day i see people dying from corona and see how patients are suffering how seriously do they become because of survivors that's why i would definitely like to be vaccinated against it as your horse before concluding going in for an arson and i also find that i have a duty of care towards the public and who go with it.

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 it could m.s.f. i'm still very cautious when it comes to the vaccines 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 and 100 percent convinced of it on the right. skepticism about the jab is apparently not read 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 health minister. has appealed to narcissism doctors once again this week kind of that's why i can only keep calling for health care

walkers to get vaccinated not only out of a sense of responsibility for themselves but also for that was a careful and treat him from the us and. more information about the corona backs a nation is there for plan to be provided and more information is also what nurse vivian kaufman would like to see with that she says she would probably be totally convinced. our job we want to bring in it frank gummer he is the chairman of the world medical association mr mcgovern it's good to have you on the program nurses we know are on the frontline of this pandemic they have seen how deadly this virus can be and yet many here in germany they seem reluctant about getting vaccinated do you have an explanation of why that is. yes definitely in some countries you have emergency authorizations of that in germany in the whole european union we had

to beat it up process of authorization of the scene through the european men in the agency and this raises concerns with people that do not believe that the movement of the declaration of her thinking which is regulates the testing and the authorization of new drugs have been caught i can only assure although they have been caught and anything that is authorized by the european medicines agency is the same vaccine and they can take it without any hesitancy we understand mr mugabe that you support compulsory vaccinations for all medical staff and that would include those nurses who do not trust this vaccine is that correct i would look at it from a different angle i would say that it is a moral obligation that if i want to treat patients who are probably who age people . people with risk factors then i have to secure all myself then i do not

factor for the morrow for me to get vaccinated those that do not want to take the present time i think they should not treat these types of patients so therefore it is not compulsory manager of vaccination it is more or less taking it from the other side you have to be remarkably safe to treat your patients and you can only be that if you have immunity either by having had the disease yourself or having a job well let's assume the nurses were just say ok i'm not going to take the vaccine and i will be treating patients you have a problem there don't you because we hear a lot here in germany that there are far too few nurses and if you make it mandatory then you're going to scare away even immobile. yes i agree but we have to look into our responsibility and our obligations towards our patients i

mean i cannot let someone who is a potential risk and danger my patients let them through that at present we don't have a problem because we don't have enough vaccine yet but this will be a discussion over the next month and i simply appeal to all my fellow colleagues and to the nurses and all the other health care professionals that work with us to remember them our obligations and take the vaccinations themselves in the interest not only of themselves but also object he one of the entire population what would you say. long term do we need to make the coronavirus vaccine vaccine mandatory for everyone. that is a very complicated question because in germany we have a high rate oh complete vaccine has about 15 percent of the population will not take any vaccination though for ideological reasons misunderstandings and

so therefore the enforcement of a mandatory vaccination will be very very tough we have to know. that summation we have less economic lockdowns where we have an adverse why we have high vaccination rate within a far more economy. openness and more economy and less allow more things to be to be possible so there is a recipe for this and therefore i think we will eventually when there is enough that's been available when the long term effects of the vaccine are known and we will eventually discuss vaccination which is no witchcraft i mean we have it on easels in this country and there are many countries in the who will not let you enter the country have less you have to yell about what the w.h.o. with 3 is the p.l.o. have a vaccination that does this very good point there are many vaccinate vaccines are

required you mention when there are enough. vaccine for or against the coronavirus that is a problem here in germany we also learned today that this new coronavirus variant from south africa has been detected here in germany if you put all that together isn't that reason enough to accelerate vaccinations nationwide here. definitely we would be happy to accelerate it there is definitely a shortage of vaccine around this is a matter of price exam of the international companies life have sold their vaccine to countries that pay more israel pays about who times the price that the european union pays and i think we have to look into that after we've solved all of this problem at present time we have to build up plants and factories to produce this vaccine we have to assure that within the next i would say 12 months we western aid everyone who is willing to invest in the in this population and then we can discuss

all these difficult issues at present we have to look simply look at that we get as much vaccine as possible from different companies through different biological processes i mean there are completely different types of ice in the round at present time we only have masses are unable it seems but in the end we will have active acting's and other conventional vaccines and then i think we will speed up the process completely you know i think a lot of people are hoping that acceleration will come sooner rather than later mr mcgovern chairman of the world medical association mr mcgovern we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you so much thank you. now for a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic the german tabloid newspaper billed says that german chancellor angela merkel has told her party to expect another 8 to 10 weeks of tough coronavirus restrictions germany has received its 1st supplies of the madonna vaccine $2000000.00 doses should be available by
