tender time. his comments came as debate continued in the house of representatives democrats are stepping up their efforts to remove the president from office democrats accuse trump of having incited the capitol riots and say failing to hold him to account would be a dangerous precedent all of us should do some soul searching about 5 dead americans a capitol police officer who's did it dozens of people wounded lots of our capitol cops in the hospitals and a country on edge and in flames right wing which thinks that we are on the verge of a civil war. the assault on the capital has eroded support for trump in congress several republican lawmakers say they're willing to back impeachment efforts they now include 5 members of the house of representatives notably liz cheney the number 3 republican in the chamber she's released a statement saying the storming of the capitol was trumps doing and that he did

nothing to stop the violence she said there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states of his office and his oath to the constitution cheney's move lays bare a split among republicans over trump in the future of their party and let's get more we are joined by peter peter what is the latest on the efforts to remove the president from office. right so today is said to be a historic day donald from best where in that report they're all but sure to become the 1st president in united states history to be impeached twice and we also heard in that report that 5 republicans now openly backing not efforts the final number according to reports could be close and can even 20 republicans join democrats to impeach and that's notable because just hoping years ago during the 1st impeachment

exactly 0 republicans voted to impeach and it does suggest that the interaction on january 6th was the final straw for a lot of republicans who long struggle with how to navigate from turbulent tenure it really does signal a strong break with trump who is fighting felt increasingly isolated as he's about to meet the white house and that many republicans see their party ask for add an extension crossroads senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has apparently even indicated that he believes and teaching trump would make it easier to raise the republican party not just of the president but of trump isn't in general and i think you know the question right now is whether that translates into trump actually being removed from office you still need 'd a 2 thirds majority for that in the senate and that is all but guaranteed what is something about all of this. well come with never one to admit failure let alone mistakes in his 1st public appearance since the violence on capitol hill was really

no different he went down to texas on tuesday and continued to deny any culpability in the violent riots that left several people dead threaten the lives of many members of congress and even trump own vice president you know trump insists it got his remarks to his supporters in washington that many took to be an encouragement to essentially storm the capital that those remarks were quote totally appropriate and trump also warned that as impeachment could lead to more violence and that statement has left a lot of people really worried because they know that from supporters are really hanging on to trying to every word and that they could take those remarks to be essentially have to instruction to even more about it so expand on that a little bit for us peter because we know that there's going to be a lot of security on hand for the inauguration and exactly a week's time law enforcement in the u.s. is warning that there could be major trouble looming how serious is the situation.

right i mean we've seen a lot of activity on social media by from supporters who are you know they're planning more violent protests in the days ahead of inauguration and that's particularly worrying because they're not just planning apparently to target washington but also we're talking about really targeting every state capital across the country and it does go to suggest how coordinated a lot of these efforts to mount an insurrection we are what we saw last wednesday was not just a spontaneous act of rebellion you know this comes as the america's most senior military leaders the military joint chiefs really just a condemning the insurrection and you know reminding their service members to support and defend the constitution that is notable because usually these military leaders go out of their way to you know preventing any they avoid anything that could be construed as political it really does mean that there's a lot of pressure on security forces across the country but especially in

washington d.c. obviously to ramp up security and head of an operation do everything in their power to avoid a repeat of what we saw in january 6th peter relative thank you. thank you let's take a look at some other stories making news the u.s. has carried out the 1st federal execution of a woman in nearly 7 decades lisa montgomery was put to death by lethal injection in an indiana prison shortly after the supreme court gave the go ahead in 2004 among gummer he kills a pregnant woman and stole her baby. russian opposition leader alexina volley says that he plans to return home to moscow this despite new efforts to jail him for allegedly violating his suspended sentence and a volley has been recovering in germany after being poisoned with a nerve agent the kremlin denies responsibility. flooding has left more than $10000.00 homes in southern serbia without power days of heavy rain and snow in the

capital jakarta not everyone is convinced. of as i don't want it myself because i put trust more in traditional medicine in america now alice i have the power i do want the vaccine and the reason is for my immune system. not being vaccinated perhaps the indonesian people will be even stronger against this disease which has become a pandemic. at this moment i refuse it because there is no assurance from the government whether after vaccination we can have a normal life again or not if we still have to use a mask and do social distancing then why should i get back to natives. indonesia has already taken receipt of millions of doses of corona back along with other vaccines authorities aim to use it to inoculate over 180000000 citizens in indonesia in the next 15 months frontline medical workers are to come 1st with the

working population following next rather than the elderly but a recent poll suggests only a minority of indonesians are willing to be vaccinated for the president and his government it may be an uphill battle. and for more let's bring in correspondent. who's joining us from indonesia why is the country vaccinating its younger population 1st. yeah and it is just targeting that productive at 18 to 59 years instead of the elderly because we haven't completed that stage 3 clinical trials with people at that age range that this in about vaccine and we're still waiting for it even uses the word in drug authority refute to see if the vaccine can be used safely for people over 60 and sr how mr fish will set that indonesians are not bucking the trend and adding the authority it's what rate for

recommendations from indonesians dr literates to decide in fact the nation's plan for the elderly but just yesterday the health minister. said at the parliament that 21500000 people in the elderly who will be vaccinated starting april using their biotite and also us are in sydney and then found out by the workers at age 18 to 59 years old ok but you know what's getting a lot of attention is this decision to use the scene of a vaccine. why has that been made walk us through that decision. it's actually due to a large stick factors because if the fights are and by that it has to be my notes 70 so it's degree and indonesia i don't have phrase. that much but the center back baxi you can you can store it in a coaching that we already have here. and also the experts at the benefit using

this in a backpack see it is that it's an activated vaccine which means it's a vaccine with the virus particles that are debt live and it's you know it's a typical and it's a type of vaccines that indonesia gets all the time for it's you know immunization campaigns and they don't take a lot of training to administer but of course not every public health expert agrees saying that signify x. is the latest they would choose in and also you know. a public trial in vaccines in indonesia was still a big and major issue you know a recent survey found that 69 per cent were still on surgery getting vaccinated. joining us from jakarta thank you. germany's health minister young sponsors of the country will not be able to lift all the restrictions in place to

authorities to aim to fast track russia's sputnik v corona virus vaccine after getting access to data on it well nurses and other health care workers around the world are suffering trauma from the pressure that they face on the front lines of this pandemic according to a global poll new data from the international council of nurses shows nearly 80 percent of respondents reported burn out exile u.-t. or feelings of isolation the council says that it could have long lasting effects on health care systems almost everywhere so far over 1600000 health care workers have been infected with the virus and at least 2200 nurses have died. and for more let's bring in howard catton he is the c.e.o. of the international council of nurses and he's a nurse himself thank you so much for joining us from geneva this afternoon how bad is the situation right now for nurses what have you been observing. good afternoon

to you this is an incredibly worrying global picture that we're seeing about the relentless and unprecedented impact that coronavirus is having on the nursing in the health care workforce really high levels of report citing 90 percent of symptoms of stress and anxiety people who are fearful of going to work whether they'll catch the virus spread it to their friends and family people already exhibiting burnout and high absence levels 15 percent plus we've had a few examples tragically of suicides and the numbers of nurses as you said now continuing to increase more than $2262.00 nurses we know have died around the world that would be an underestimation because he's only from 59 countries and that's why we say this is a global phenomenon and he's resulting in a

a mass trauma of nurses and indeed other health care workers which is not just the impact that it has now but also could have a very significant long term effect and it is of course i mean it's nothing new that nurses are at high risk for suffering post-traumatic stress disorder during their careers what would you say is different now in this pandemic this is altogether of a different order we haven't seen the intensity over complexity so yes nurses are working used to working credibly hard but they're stretched even more thinly their workload seeing some cases has tripled or quadrupled as i said this sometimes these fare of whether they've got the right protect personal equipment their families not sure about when going into work or not we have examples of nurses subject to abuse victim i sation discrimination around the world as well and then the latest that we're seeing from the. that is who the covert

denial is the whole thing is a hoax can you imagine you've gone through what you put you so foot risk you've dealt with that intensity of work and you come out never people saying it's all a lie that it all adds to the trauma and the harm that cities are experiencing and we still don't know whilst we seeing sadly some nurses experiencing p.t.s.d. as you say more of those symptoms will emerge over the coming weeks months plus of course the impacts of long coat on the health care what we don't know well thank you so much for joining us to tell us a little bit about the situation we know these nurses they they have the lion's share of the time with the patients so it's not surprising to hear that this is what is happening that this is the background howard catton thank you for joining us c.e.o. of the international council of nurses we appreciate it thank you. all

the largest mafia trial in over 3 decades is starting in italy the defendants include more than 350 suspected members of one of the world's most feared organized crime groups we're talking about they and trying to get they are accused of offensive offenses that are dating back to the 1990 secluding murder drug trafficking store sion and money laundering you know he is mike sanders spoke to the lead prosecutor in the case and also a former mobster turned informant who now fears for his life. he has to move quickly the chief prosecutor of new connector t.n.t. has powerful enemies illusion number one mafia hunter is leading the fight against the notorious calabrian network then that on get to. me they learn that. there are men of the internet get there within the public administration by attempt to manage it in whole or in part trying to succeed in dominating not only on the

economic level but also on the administrative and political level. think of. teddy has been fighting them for more than 30 years and he has been preparing a strong message to send to the calabrian families and the public. over the next 2 years more than $350.00 mafiosi and accomplices will take the stand in the biggest mafia trial indicates here in a specially built bunker courtroom set up to accommodate them together with hundreds of lawyers and witnesses the family's reach and influence go far beyond. over the years its business model has evolved from fighting bloody wars in the streets to more sophisticated financial crime. the in the i'm good to now operates in the shadows for example by importing tons of cocaine from latin america and quietly buying power and influence over europe this and their twisted but strong sense of family are the main reasons why it's so hard to fight the family clans.

tells us now working with prosecutors he was raised to become a powerful. that if you stop with guns as a child. you shoot. if they carry guns and you're a kid and it's all a game to you. the kids have toit guns but you know cons are real you're not afraid of being beat but of disappointing those who are training you. went into to smuggle drugs extorted people and even participated in murders but after the birth of his 2nd child he decided this life was no longer for him and turned against his own family. when it became known that ambushed me twice within 12 hours the 1st time i managed to escape the 2nd time i was returned fire 3 people they tried to kill me several times and set fire to my wife's shop since then when i've been to

or has helped authorities put hundreds of mafiosi behind bars he welcomes the efforts of prosecutors like teddy but he is not the only one worried and i will fight back. but if i understood that if they knock me down all this great work and discrediting will stop there. thousands and thousands of people who believe in me and therefore i am the last hope. so this also gives me courage and helps we have to carry on what ever it takes if i pulled out today i would feel like a coward but i made that i mean the missing today and. while this trial won't free calabria from the clutches of the mafia it is a real chance to bring attention to the cause of suffering for millions of people not just here in italy. and let's bring in correspondent max ender who you also saw there and that report max is standing by for us in limits yet tell me where the

trial is taking place max what's expected. great this is a historic day not just for the law but also for italy this is a very important trial that just is about to kick off. but to understand the magnitude of this process is it's important to understand how the enron got to operate their core business is to import cocaine from latin america to europe they make a lot of money with it they control the majority of the cocaine trafficking and selling that throat throughout europe and they use this money to invest to buy power to buy influence to buy politicians and even for legitimate businesses and a lot of white collar crimes and the aim of this process is not to take out the input on get but more so to shine a light on their business shine a light tell the operates in the shadows. we've just heard from a witness from the prosecutor in your report and the trial is of course dangerous

for them how do they handle that. but it's incredibly dangerous for. cooperate with the authorities that's why there are so few actually but even for the chief prosecutor we talked to terry he has he is from the region he is from collaborate he grew up with some of it and if you see that he's putting putting away putting behind bars in the process of this this is this this trial he tells us he played with soccer with them in the streets he knows their mentality and as a kid had a very early age and when he would go to school he walked past bodies people shot dead by by the mafia so he decided in early point that he wanted to do something against that and he has been living. at a great risk for a very long time he has been in the police protection for 30 years he told us yesterday that he sleeps in a bunker it's in his office doesn't have a life and he lives with constant death threats but he also said it's worth it even

having a target on his back because if you can take back the country from the mafia and give it back to law abiding citizens then it's worth living like that just citizens seem to agree that it is indeed worth it max people that you've been speaking with there what has been the reaction given the influence of this group in kolaveri and also perhaps the fear among some that they could retaliate. look the reactions are twofold you have the anti-mafia movement people who are active against the corruption who suffer from the corruption and people who are just simply afraid of the mafia but on the other hand you have a lot of benefactors a lot of people who who benefit from government contracts for example business people who benefit from who get to get assignments from politicians who are in the pockets of the mafia so the they have the tools to control public and to control the public opinion and this is also something that we've seen here that they are
