this is d.w. news live from berlin history is made in the u.s. congress lawmakers vote to impeach president donald trump for a 2nd time 10 republicans break rank and join democrats voting to impeach trump is accused of inciting an insurrection at the capitol last week the president denies any responsibility also coming out. ugandans head to the polls to elect a parliament and president following widespread violence during campaigning it's said election day could bring further bloodshed. and italy is plunged into

a political crisis former prime minister met here in ca because his party out of the ruling coalition setting the stage for new elections at the worst possible time . and also i welcome to the program the united states house of representatives has voted to impeach president donald trump for a 2nd time trump was charged with incitement of insurrection following the storming off the capital by his supporters last week the president will now face a trial in the senate but that's unlikely to happen before he leaves office in a week from now. this was the moment that made history donald trump became the 1st us president ever to be impeached twice on death row the i 32 the nays are 197 through that resolution is

adopted without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the total. and this time it wasn't just democrats who were in favor 10 members of trump's own republican party also voted to impeach the president the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters he should have and made it lee denounce the mob when he saw what was unfolding these facts require immediate action a president. except a share of responsibility the impeachment proceedings moved at breakneck speed the result coming just a week after the violence the capital. democrats were hoping to remove trump from office just days before his term ends but that would 1st require a trial in the u.s. senate and their majority leader mitch mcconnell has rejected a quick process saying there is no chance of

a fear or serious trial before the president leaves office. donald trump denies his fiery speech last week incited his supporters to storm the u.s. capitol building shortly after his impeachment was announced he released a video online in which he distanced himself from the violence. mob violence goes against everything i believe in and everything our movement stands for no true supporter of mine could ever indorse political violence no true supporter of mine could ever disrespect law enforcement or our great american flag. it's unclear if lawmakers will get the 2 thirds majority needed in the senate to officially convict trump of incitement of insurrection but now it does seem clear that any trial will take place once he's already left office. d.w.

correspondent all of a solid joins me now from washington from has denounced the violence last week at the capitol but made no mention of his impeachment what do you make of that. that was the condemnation in his speech here today or in his video message what it was expected on the day or a day after at the latest it came a week after the riots took place and 1st he sent all those kind of mixed messages that we're used to from donald trump he said we lost you your very special addressing his followers and those who went into the capital he later. after inciting to take on the capital in his speech there at the national mall he later called on his followers to remain peaceful and now this formal condemnation but still no congress you lation for joe biden as the winner of the presidential election no acceptance of his defeat and as you mentioned all in no mention of the

impeachment itself that is a result of him inside to a violent mob so what he's doing is certainly to try to rewrite history and democrats on capitol hill have been calling this too little too late. no revising history you say trump has of course made history by becoming the only u.s. president to be impeached twice and this time with bipartisan support what is the significance. well it's very significant because you had some 10 republicans in the halls of representatives who voted in support of impeachment that's not a large number but if you consider how close the ranks were of the republican party and if you think back of the 1st impeachment proceeding in particular then you can really tell that the party is crumbling the support for donald trump is crumbling and also that the party at this point really does not have a direction and no vision for the future so very big challenges for the republicans in the last days of the all chums presidents you know we heard republicans in

congress today say that donald trump didn't inside the violence we saw a week ago remind us now what led to the storming of the capitol well that all that happened on the day when the electoral college vote was supposed to be certified by a senate that is actually a formality nothing that is usually a big story or a big deal congress then approves the victory of the incoming president but donald trump called on vice president mike pence to not certify those votes and that would essentially mean to overturn a democratic election at the same time there were rallies taking place demonstrations trump supporters and at this rally spoke to his followers and asked them to go to the capital and to show strength that's what he asked them to do and what we know what happened after that a violent assault entered the capital 5 people were killed and many call this now a failed coup attempt. now we have 7 days left now of presidency

and his fate is now up to the senate's. that is correct although senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has already said that there will not be a trial before inauguration and therefore then also there will not be a republican dominated senate anymore the democrats will be able to shape the rules they don't have the necessary 2 thirds that they would need to conduct to win against donald trump and to remove him from office but they will certainly make a statement one for the history books writes correspondence of a solace in washington many thanks polls opened and uganda's presidential and parliamentary elections veteran lead you where in the 70 who's been in power for 35 years is seeking a 6th term in office his main challenger is the single. bobby wine the campaign has

a plan to require travelers from cover 19 hotspots to get tested before entering the country germany's health minister and spawn said the measures the needed to guard against the new mutation of the virus which is believed to be more transmissible he also said germany's current law will be extended in just every levels of infections and deaths are still high the government is also facing criticism of the what many say is the sluggish rollout of vaccinations after more than 2 months of increasingly tougher restrictions in germany the number of new infections and deaths from the corona virus remains alarmingly high. speaking in parliament on wednesday german health minister young defended the government's vaccination plan the target of criticism in recent weeks. the fact that vaccines are in short supply worldwide is a fact that we cannot change. this is the same for us as it is for almost all other

countries in the u. and around the world the reason for the shortage at the beginning of the vaccination rollout is a lack of production capacity and not a lack of purchasing contracts for. opposition parties weren't convinced because from the business friendly f.t.p. to the left party the vaccine rollout was criticized for being slow and chaotic for the greens germany's federal political system is partly to blame our federal system has wonderful advantages but it also sometimes slows down the process and i think that the roll out was rather a question of internal german matter then of e.u. policy and that's where we should improve and fix that where needed germany has so far administered the job to more than 750000 people but has vaccinated a lower share of the population than several other e.u. countries with vaccines from more manufacturers being approved the hope is that

enough those will be available for the rollout to soon pick up pace. yes. you're watching the news live from berlin up next the documentary god bless america evangelical christians in the usa. from me and the entire parent but then thanks for watching. john moroccan emigrants. know the police will stop by. the road is a solution. their flight could be safe. but bad news is not an option shattered dreams starts january 18th on t.w. .

the united states of america officially the church and the state are separated his religion is everywhere in every hotel room. on every bank no. on the radio. and of course on television. others just use this for their issues. it's also present on billboards and in political speeches god bless god bless god bless america. evangelicals with more than 60000000 followers they are the largest group of christians in america. oh they describe themselves as a born again. creation vs evolution many evangelicals reject scientific facts preferring to look to the bible for guidance how know why

when me answered they are. just the body differently back. in kentucky tens of thousands visit a replica of noah's ark a museum that portrays how god created the world in 6 days. or a military militias in georgia dream of a purely christian nation. i would die for my god. the world of people in general americans has its own particular rule. but 3 hour drive from washington d.c. on a farm in pennsylvania 60000 music fans gathered for

a different kind of music festival. the creation festival is america's marches to christian festivals. it's a very godly that you can still love and not. most of the visitors are under 25 years of age. thank you jesus was just reading about. many of them come here with their church youth groups to pray and celebrate like 18 year old zoe she traveled for 17 hours by bus from florida visitors are encouraged to enjoy themselves but in moderation the festival has rules you're not allowed to be drinking. and there is like a dress code like no like really short shorts i don't think yes they're getting

straps you're not supposed to know how her ears. but. before the festival starts zoe has made an important decision. she wants to be baptized. i decided to get baptized when i was about 7 years old. but i don't remember it and also recently i've kind of walked away from christ not coming back into it and i just want it to be a public declaration of. i'm giving my life to christ this is who i am that there are even john mickel christians see a 2nd baptism as a rebirth in which their sins are forgiven and washed away. isn't enough time believe in jesus to come out of his head. yes.

your son and holy spirit. i'm feeling very happy i'm very excited and i'm glad i did but. i do feel like the person. the baptism takes several hours. as dusk falls the concert begins. so we and her group are right in the middle of things. ok. ok. ok ok. for many it's more than just music. if i'm being completely honest i sent 3 tries

i've been throughout the whole sun thing was scarce. so what's he doing right now. very you know by the minute you got a lot of born again christians believe that they are destined to save the world they see no hope for nonbelievers. for the other people are the dark. religious music is a $1000000000.00 business in the us. and the message is clear what. can you get out of this that if you go you can say we're going to get your chance to grow your holy spirit children or should. be activists came to shock also by displaying small roofie just don't see here's

a $20.00 being eat another week or 2 i would be able to live outside the mother got a hold out you probably are here and see if it up in yours they get their message across. really well i take this to a sale at the hospital for the sake of i believe credit and tell them that it is that they get us to make it they should be rated. abstinence is also a core theme at the festival. being said by persons of god's eyes that you should have sex before marriage. the bar is also subject to evangelical rules fusilier know it though it's all through fear what's written here this is all for after a while build up your. tickets for the festival cost around $100.00 v.o.i.p. tickets cost up to $800.00 the festival retains 10 percent of all sales and the

$1000.00 employees work on a voluntary basis. there is also a daily collection. cash or credit card. believe this is not a fire i don't. ask god for a number asked what he gave me so i was trying to get him away and up the road up. the festival makes a profit but nobody wants to tell us how much. you know in a day in advance so. shortly after the collection of the weather changes . strong gusts of wind precede a storm. it.

looks like. it becomes hectic. with. some see it as an act of punishment when a. little ray of light and a sling. backlash from god if they don't. do what he wants which is not let it be led by money or about money about business that he would take away from him you know. almost all the festival visitors come from strictly religious families and communities. leesburg in florida here it is faith that determines day to day life.

it's 7 o'clock in the morning with the coakley family. do you consider it like let's. keith angie on their daughters laila and lexie have breakfast together before school. they burn things are going on we've always taken the approach with. teach them to evaluate all that information through . a local worldview through a christian worldview. like thousands of other teenagers in the u.s. 15 year old only knows a christian way of life she doesn't have any posters or magazines in her room only religious books. this is the arabic bible because i'm trying to learn arabic so yeah and then this is my old bible from when i was a kid it's all torn apart and then my new bible isn't clear like you've been here because i think it's a special so i love it this is

a christian. but by a preacher named francis chant. on the drive to school in faith and religion there's also a constant presence. there's a christian radio on. just about anywhere in the country you can find a christian radio station. most all of leesburg 22000 inhabitants are christians the small town has 151 churches the situation is typical for many rural us communities. that are. along the main street there are numerous self-proclaimed missionaries and one of the commandments that jesus left with us was that we needed to preach the good news they tell their respective communities and the people go by listing something that

they want their we know talk mean to do still the message that we have. the god cafe in leesburg at 1st sight it looks like a normal cafe. but the. interior displays crowns of thorns crosses jesus posters and religious verses. so i've been given a paycheck i've been given this morning why not spend it in a place that you know god is present versus a starbucks kerry has run the cafe since 2008 basically what god wants is to be seen but you know the enemies out there going to and fro so who is the enemy satan . in the $26000.00 elections 60 percent of least berger's including kerry voted for donald trump. god is using dull trough to change america and get things

right i believe believes in god and believes in jesus i mean you have bible study in the white house you know that starting right direction. outside the cafe are christians bikers. there. their mission to bless the local businesses. by fair as. the bikers are very welcome guests. lord jesus we're here with caitlin you know they're all or we're just asking for safety with her story or that there's no problem no one comes in and tries to refer off lord walk off with a lot of the jesus bikers say that they occasionally bless and sometimes even convert nonbelievers. but back to the coakley family you know. it's both sisters attend the private school 1st academy it belongs to the congregation of the 1st baptist church. my

love the older sister has math for her 1st class. however the lessons do not. start without. everyone for as one can get. this just in time. there was bad for. everybody whether it's for a good weekend or to win a baseball game god is responsible for everything. meanwhile next door the students are learning the bible by heart a. one hour every day for each grade level. on this allegation and so on. the message whoever loses their faith will go to

hell we actually pray for people who are not believers all the time aunts uncles neighbor that we love and we know and we want to pray for them we want to see them in heaven. there seems to be no sense of doubt here. i feel like hell is something that you should be afraid of and it's kind of like a motivation to strive to be like more godly and christ like so that you don't go there is something meant to scare you. the bible also determines how the young people behave during school breaks and after school. the topic of sex is taboo and the teenagers find that hard to deal with. sometimes. it's it's easier if you have like a friend or parent go with you on your date so you can avoid but the temptation of

sex or like. the list of forbidden activities is along. i've seen like a lot of boys. go through i tired where they started doing more secular. muslim north so i could say secular things can be as simple as gossiping talking about someone i mean want to drinking or smoking drugs sex all that kind of stuff and inside the bar lord's. parents here pay between $712000.00 a year for their children's education and christian institutions such as the 1st by . this church and its school has been exempt from paying taxes in the us since 894 . the leesburg community is particularly rich and powerful it has 2500 members and continues to grow.

during the service the 1st academy students take up the collection battle. with the donations the church finances a hospital a clinic for pregnant women a home for homeless people a missionary school and a supermarket 00400000000 the members of the community are encouraged to keep to themselves. the separation of religion and state in many places is purely theoretical louisa in the state of virginia is a town with a good one and a half 1000 inhabitants. the

had a memorial baptist church chaplain mark o'donnell prepares to give a sermon for him his gun is just as important as the bible. well how i'm carrying a gun because a part of a pastor's slash chaplain job is the protection of the flock a spiritual and physical you know it's part of the job and i think it pretty seriously so. the him armed preacher. he holds a very conservative views. this says homosexuality is a sin homosexuality is a sin just like lying just like stealing. sacks name a sin they're all equal in the eyes of god o'donnell's god is resent this. if you came down

a path you're on you're going to go to hell forever so the choice is simple right who wants to go down there and start cooking now i didn't after the service the preacher has another task. here companies deputy daniel crew are on patrol. there and if there is a lesson they go. their mission they explained is to bring lost sheep back to the flock. anything of bond is a sound but their reality comes from the bible like when we get to heaven that means i'm going to be walking down a street i have and i'm going to see like know as and know in the yard also i know i saw a man and he's also very marco you heard. this soon as it gets dark deputy clore

goes on alert it's vacation time young people around and want to have fun. they soon stop a car that is going much too fast there is a single occupant. courtney is 20 years old. really nervous officer. the policeman applies the handcuffs. we approach the car there is a very strong smell of marijuana which is illegal even for dinner where i can we find anything you say can and will be used against you in court. i'm scared i'm scared if. the deputy finds drugs in the car and apparently it's a hybrid with a name wedding cakes i know if it sweet or not. the handcuffs can now be taken off

. or worse. cloris convinced religion ensures that people abide by the writers you know 2030 years ago people. spectate officers. they knew that if they got out of line and serious they would get smacked we would see a deer obviously and so now we have to talk street. chaplain o'donnell uses the moment for some religious instruction. us finding you here tonight ah believe was orchestrated by god says so i would say this is god saying i love you and i want you to go out of there for that which when you all pick i mean this should be a giant wake up call for you what i would like for you to do is to remember the feeling you had when he put handcuffs on you when you thought about going to jail for real. they carry cell. down with 3 more cars that evening.

that wasn't skanky where you go around i'll tell you who. the separation of state and religion is not even an issue here. evangelical christians in the us also attempt to influence science. we're in petersburg kentucky. hundreds of tourists come here every day to visit one of the attractions the creation museum. at the entrance a video delivers a very clear message. the big bang theory and evolution are alive. live earth least. according to the bible it was god who created the world in 6 days about 6000 years ago.

the belief so-called creationism contradicts fundamental scientific knowledge. and 40 percent of americans believe in it. the museum only presents the views of creationists some of whom come from well known universities such as harvard. oh. i am taking you all to the through the garden of eden gabriela rollkur carvalho haynes has a doctorate in paleontology and geology. she doesn't believe in evolution or in the course books that she studied to earn

her degree instead she explains to the visitors that all living beings were created on the same day so how then can the discoveries of early humans be explained for example the famous australopithecus afarensis known as. this is my favorite one they found the pelvis of lucy they looked and they said it looks like an ape. but it's and it cannot be an ape it has to be here why because they they want to they wanted it to be human. and they and what they did they took that pelvis to a lab. and they reshape it in the human shape the point is when you don't have a commercial world view or what our commitment do you have with honesty. with troops. what is lives now for hans evolution is an atheistic

conspiracy theory. if the guard of our car just drove from your bedroom where. the creationist worldview is taught in school. would you like the most shows like. so you don't understand the concept of evolution with great cers 6000 years ago is that right yes i was going to create the 4th. or is it. this is the same way as it is a sin against god since. the bible says that suffering and pain came to earth through original sin the museum depicts this and a cabinet of horrors that it calls the cave of sorrows. speak up because of this and. it brought yes you brought death still the

world is not safe anymore we have wars we have pain as of that nature and now i am pregnant now so i can i think i can understand that the curse of the pain do you feel punished. we all here we all see you punished because of the sin yes because of the sin in our moms. whether it's the holocaust 911 or drugs creationists believe these are all consequences of turning away from gone the exhibition is a reminder to stay on the right path. to get it this is i just. believe very strongly about. yes very powerful libertarians knows it scare you or really. know where to go. but the

fear. the museum comprises 7000 square meters around $300000.00 visitors come here in each year to learn about the creationist worldview . the cost of an outlet for my 3 kids until they are tied to the office is why why it is partly. the museum is run by the organization answers in genesis. and it is not the only attraction of its kind. half an hour away by car tourists for the bus. to go their destination a christian theme park. a story of our thoughts. and it's here in the middle of kentucky

that we find noah's ark. according to the bible god destroyed almost everything on earth with a great flood only know what and his family survived in there are together with many animal species. the dimensions of this replica correspond approximately to those in the bible $155.00 metres long 15 meters high and weighing more than $8000.00 tons tickets range from about $25.00 to $50.00 depending on age children up to age 10 are free. this teacher tara came with her class from virginia.

basically our family had. let me call you bought it we're. ready. to get one. the story of the ark is imaginatively reconstructed with caged animals including bears wild boars hippos and even dinosaurs near. the sound of water and animal noises can be heard on tape ready. tara teaches creationism us private schools are allowed to teach the controversial subject. now our all know was when he answered we are. here and it's an e-mail example to back how old it was when they left the army base or hand 600.

k.y. the milliken in its.
