war with mexico. but before that he wanted to say a few words about efforts to remove him from office the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain far greater than most people will ever understand which is very dangerous for the usa especially at this very tender time. his comments came as debate raged in the house of representatives democrats are stepping up their efforts to remove the president from office they accuse trump of having incited the capital riots and feel it would be dangerous for him to not be held to account all of us should do some soul searching about 5 dead americans a capitol police officer who's dead dozens of people wounded lots of our capital

cops in the hospitals and a country on edge and in flames right wing which thinks that we're on the verge of a civil war. the assault on the capital has a road support for trump in the senate several republican lawmakers have said they're willing to back impeachment efforts. it is also led to a raft of companies from cutting their funding to republican politicians and their association with the president. according to the new york times deutsche bank is the latest company to stop doing business with trump he owes the bank $340000000.00 and it's a debt he'll have to repay by 2024. well i'm joined now by paid a rather dull day doubly reporter and member of the u.s. election team paid a good morning impeachment is moving forward at a swift pace in the house of representatives what's the latest on the efforts to remove mr trump from office. right so essentially we're looking at

a very historic moment today the house is all but certain to impeach trump and that will make donald trump the 1st president u.s. history to been impeached twice and it's notable really that over a dozen republicans have indicated that they will back him you know just over a year ago during the 1st impeachment he wrote republicans backed out of that and we're also looking at really high ranking republicans well we're looking at for instance 3rd ranking leader of the republican house list cheney who released a strongly worded statement saying that there's never been a greater betrayal by a president state of his office and his oath to the constitution so it really sticking to a very strong break with donald trump who is finding himself increasingly isolated acidly white house and really that a lot of republicans right now consider the party an existential crossroads we've even seen senate majority leader mitch mcconnell indicating that he believes that impeaching trump might be the easiest way to rid the republican party of not just

trump but trump is in general whether that translates into trump actually being removed from office that is a different question for that they would still need to 30 majority in the senate and that does still look fairly unlikely that that's going to happen meanwhile lower enforcement in washington and around the country getting ready for trouble ahead of inauguration day now i've also had the joint chiefs of staff whining in tell us more. right so we're looking at america's most senior military members where leaders of the military join she said she said there who released a statement condemning the interaction at the u.s. capitol last week really reminded their service members of their obligation to support and protect the constitution that apparently notable because usually these military leaders go out of their way to avoid doing anything that could be interpreted as political so this comes amid reports that several violent rallies

are being planned across the country notably on january 17th but also you know really in the immediate days leading up to inauguration on january 20th it also comes amid pressure on security forces across the country to really protect the country political leaders and also political institutions. the washington post reporting yesterday that an internal f.b.i. memo shows that you know the f.b.i. was very much aware of this threat and it actually issued a story a stark warning that we could be looking at the violence that we then eventually saw transpire transpire on the sext so you know a lot of pressure to repeat or to avoid a repeat of generous extent text. thanks so much. ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world uganda's

others because if the supreme court things are split the farmers have now been suspended 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 end the protest or leave until all 3 farm laws are permanently revoked. 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. germany plans to tighten controls on paypal entering the country it's said to require people arriving from countries with high coronavirus numbers to take a taste of the disease from a tory hims in germany side they are struggling to keep up as the death toll climbs in 24 hours more than 1000 people died with 19 and nearly 20000 people tested positive germany has also recorded its 1st case the corona virus variant sweeping
