this is news live from building the u.s. congress formally charges u.s. president donald trump with inciting his supporters to attack the capitol building last week calling it and build in against the country it means trump will go down in history as the only u.s. president to be impeached twice also coming up bugs in uganda begin voting in parliamentary and presidential elections after a campaign mocked by widespread violence during president yoweri museveni is facing a challenge from pop star turned politician involving wine. and searching for the

source of the virus a team of experts from the world health organization arrives in the chinese city of will hand to investigate the origins of the pandemic and mission to save us from a repeat of this disaster plus in football there's a huge shock in the german cop holders by munich dumped out in the 2nd round of the competition on penalties by 2nd division. math and held 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 of the capitol by his supporters last week the president will now face a trial in the senate but that appears 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 this throw the i 32 the nays are 197 there is 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 took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic last week there was a domestic threat at the door of the capitol and he did nothing to stop it that is why with a heavy heart and clear resolve i will vote yes on these articles of impeachment. 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 feral 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 endorse 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. a correspondent of a seller joins us from washington for more of a welcome trump has finally clearly denounced the violence of his supporters last week at the capitol but night no mention of his impeachment what do we make of that well this is the condemnation we have been waiting for and that was essential he expected on the day of the day after all of a u.s. president of course and a week after the riots and 1st remember all trump sent all those mixed messages like we're used to hearing from him throughout his presidency he said we love you you're very special addressing his followers after he incited

a violent mob to take on the capital where 5 people were killed he then later told the crowd to remain peaceful and now condemns the violence a week later but still as you mentioned earlier no congratulations for instance for joe biden for winning the presidency no acceptance of his defeat and also he did not mention the impeachment proceeding against him with a single word so the democrats are now saying this is simply too little of too late mr trump has made history all of a by becoming the on the u.s. president to be impeached twice and this time with bipartisan support how significant is the latter point. it is very significant those were only 10 volts of the republican party that voted in favor of impeaching donald trump but if you consider how close the ranks of the republicans were throughout donald trump's presidency and if you compare this to the 1st impeachment trial and proceeding earlier then of course you can tell that the ranks are not as

close anymore that support for donald trump crumbles and the party is right now really in a face without a certain direction with no with no clear vision and is facing big challenges especially where all the republicans headed with donald trump so the next step is is a trial in the senate if you only had 7 days left in office how does this proceed from here well this is going to be the 1st trial after president has already departed so just imagine that the trial will take place without donald trump being president it will be joe biden that have that has never happened before the democrats will then hold the majority in the senate they can shape the rule of the trial that will be a certain advantage for them but remember you need 2 thirds in senate to convict a president and they don't have that the democrats as unlikely he will get convicted but it will certainly be a statement and one full day history books 6 days now until inauguration and

security precautions being ramped up but one could argue this is a case very much of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted here. well that's right and i mean if you just imagine how washington d.c. feels like at this point the whole capitol hill area is cordoned off there off fences with razor wire really surrounding the whole capital and a large part of the downtown area $20000.00 soldiers on the streets this is more than that in afghanistan really it's a surreal atmosphere the whole downtown area also on earth a lockdown. so d.c. you seem safe right now at this point but of course the problem is that the f.b.i. is concerned about violent protests throughout the whole contrie and the concern is then that it's not everywhere as safe as it might seem right now in washington d.c.

all of us sell it in washington thanks so much over to you has begun in a presidential election in uganda that could see an end to veterans laeta ramos in vain it's almost 35 years in power he faces a strong challenge from the leading opposition candidate that being former pop star bobby wine it follows a campaign time to buy widespread violence several polling stations opened light and in the capital kampala place but out in full force i mean fees have continued the country is also under an internet blackout after the government ordered telecoms operettas to suspend services. of the u.s. european union and the united nations concerned about the integrity and transparency of the election. it's a crush of generations in one of africa's youngest countries incumbent you will remove beanie is one of africa's longest serving leaders whose 36 years in office in a country where the average age is less than 30 ugandans because shouldn't we

hope it would a c. o. economy is strong. i mean strong and experienced the population. i want to. go out and vote 1st these polling pits him against opposition front runner bobby white the former singer has managed to channel the frustrations of a generation into a viable challenge against mr vane's ruling national resistance movement the n.r.m. has cracked down on opposition candidates band social media and messenger apps as well as cut off access to the internet. pre-election violence has also taken the lives of dozens of opposition supporters one recently appeared at one of their funerals. are on for

a lecture on really not preparing for the election we are rising the yardbirds off evidence through back to the group that didn't work at iceland by the military and the bodies. were out rather than for other than france on the other hand out conducted by their example i don't know whether. the inner him promises the elections will be free and fair. but without the presence of many outside observers the european union and the united states fear the vote will lack accountability and transparency. correspondent julia joins us on the line now from camp julie is what a day what is at stake in these elections. what a day we should say has never been like elections of the gun and we cannot have intended we cannot know what is upsetting. the polling station not far from where you're standing i understand this morning where the police station where. voting

delayed for more than 2 hours i'm a gentleman that i spoke to and she say this morning she's moved to modify polling stations and they putting there had delayed there was a major reason given out by your matrix experience that was supposed to be used by the lake show commission also was affected by the internet shutdown but as we speak at the polling station way i mean come on i love watching as begun but you got delayed for more than 2 hours. you speak about the blackout and many voters rely on social media particularly young voters to get their information leading to the question how transparent is this election without social media. you have imagined very slow in coming so you can know to know what you copping elsewhere because this was you got a cold you could say it to speak and make sure people went through it and to pick come things where maybe supporters were not meeting the kind you did were not

asking been questions directly and they relied on social media now when social media was kind of 2 week old that would be just before the whole intelligence was catching i would have been live with my feet you know but i can't do that because there is no internet now i can imagine how that has compromised. they need to mourn each other they need to see what's happening elsewhere so you got to be jewish and now that block out of the can very many people. and transparency aside the election campaign was also overshadowed by violence do you think julie's this time state just. did a hostage looking peaceful there is that very big hope that the. they could be peaceful if things continue the way they are at the moment especially in kampala where there is a big chance that the election will be very peaceful but again violence does not really announce that he's going to discuss now or saying it could be this police

minutes i'm hanging around after you have a meeting so if the situation now is maintained that way to describe to me that things will be fine and be forced but if anything changes then there's a possibility we could slide into violence and the images that we've seen in the campaign but as we speak there's not been any chaotic i have seen but also we did background that i don't have a lot of information from other regions of the country to elise will be staying in touch throughout the day the doubly correspondent julie's encounter hala thanks so much ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. can do pilgrims have flocked to the ganges river in india to stop if they combined and they just festival yanyuwa live and attracts millions of people of a several weeks has awarded the ritual cultural heritage status. a racing pigeon has made an epic 13000 kilometer journey across the pacific ocean

suggested it's here that i had the link to light trip follows months of diplomatic wrangling china and they denied entry to the scientists it argues that the virus originated elsewhere well for more we go to our correspondent mathias building in beijing mathias welcome to you what can we expect the scientists to determine here . the scientists themselves have sad that they will probably not come back with a conclusion they will not come back knowing where the virus has originated what they will do during these several weeks that they will spend after they will be out of core and teen they will meet with doctors medical personnel and people who have been walking or working on this market they would probably try to find pneumonia cases that have been unaccounted for but it might have happened before the 1st

known cases of call with 19 and so they want to get back to the to the 1st patients in order to get closer to the origins of the virus but as they have said it is highly i'm like you that will get that that they were gets to the moment when it was food when 1st occurred in the newsroom and be a scientist and then now a quarantine florentine but why did this mission take so long why did china block this mission for now. yeah 10 days ago some of the scientists were already on their way when they were told by china that they how it would not be admitted to the country that was a surprise china's saying that this is a misunderstanding this has been a misunderstanding but what's very clear is that china has not been very cooperative in the past few months it took a lot of diplomatic efforts to get this mission on track when other countries when

australia the australian government 1st asked for an investigation into the origins of the virus china acted furiously banning some of the imports of australian products this is a highly sensitive topic and all research by a chinese scientists is also strictly monitored and sense that china wants to avoid shedding light again to its initial failure was in the beginning off the outbreak and it wants to keep control over any information about the origins of the virus and that is this is all happening this is the backdrop as china sees a spike in infections and is locking down several areas what more can you tell us about this turn of events. yeah there have been a few 100 new cases mostly in the province of that's a province that surrounds beijing in other countries an outbreak of this size would be considered as having the virus on the control 500 cases so far reported that is

not a lot but it is. alarming the bait there chinese authorities because it had gone it seems to have gone unnoticed for quite some time they're finding new cases now for a few days in a row the virus seems to have spread mostly in villages in the countryside and these villages seem to have been a weak spot of epidemic prevention that has mostly been concentrated on the cities it is billing it in beijing many things well new figures from germany show the country is still failing to bring down the number of corona virus infections despite lockdown nations the public health authority says that in the last 24 hours cases have increased by more than 2501200 people have died news comes as health minister was put on the defensive over what critics say is the government's slow roll out of its vaccination campaign 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 e.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 criticised 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 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 you countries with vaccines from more manufacturers being approved the hope is that enough doses will be available for the rollout to soon pick up pace. italy is facing a new political crisis after former prime minister of n.c. pulled his party's ministers out of the cabinet and he is angry about the government's spending plans for billions of euros pledged by the european union for coded 19 relief the ministers withdrawal is significant as it leaves the ruling coalition led by giuseppe content without a majority. italy has been plunged into political turmoil at the worst possible

moment the country is again struggling with the coronavirus pandemic as well as the worsening economic crisis on wednesday evening the italian parliament voted on a more than 200000000000 euro coated relief package from the european union but 2 cabinet ministers from the junior coalition partner former prime minister matteo renzi italia vivah party abstained and vincy announced their resignation. princes party disagrees with prime minister tzipi qantas plan over how to distribute the economic aid. but they're also deeper political frictions between content and the frenzy that led to the crisis. yeah we program you can soften. let's solve your problems that's politics it's populism to believe that you can resolve them with a post or treat on instagram story the government demands respect for the parliamentary rules it must be a turd to specially during a pandemic in

a crisis like this. qantas a male avoiding a new election at all costs for that he even needs to cobble together a new majority in parliament or win over a tally of reaver. would be more durable if this is the political will i will work until the very end to create confusion among the majority party so it will never be my own personal matter the interests of the people have to come 1st for that is for the future that even. if the government does not reach awful new elections could be on the horizon. to football now whereby munich have been dumped out of the 2nd round of the german cup by 2nd division side nate just shock from day w. sports mark byron a not so mighty after all know they'll be no trouble this season we cannot have a little bit of a look at some of the the shots from the game i mean yes

a real big shot but he started well they went ahead but then he'll hit back proof in bottles and then they hit back again in injury time at the end of the game for it to be then it went to actual time and kill one on penalties major major triumph or kill that was by and players pretty despondent as they walk off and yet it's the 1st time in 20 years the buying of not reached the last 16 of the german cup bad times has he flicked the coach is now behind us. arguably have looked at a former at least off their best for a while how worried should by fans be well they lost on friday in the bundesliga variance club back it was only because of a team slipped up that they're still top of the table but there's a deeper problem actually before that game by and have gone behind 8 times in a row could start a fight back so i have a draw to win so things clearly aren't right the fans will say it's tightness obviously because of the coronavirus you have this concertina season where we have the the champions league final in august that they were on and then they were back

in june as they were actually immediately in september this game actually was meant to happen before christmas but by and asked for it to be pushed back to january to give them a little bit more time to recover it hasn't worked. i mean you can't be too worried because they are still top of the table if you're a bind fan and has a flip to be fair to him wasn't blaming tiredness let's have a listen to what he said. this is the way it panned out and it shows where we are at the moment we just have to look forward we've got lots of work to do we can't make any more excuses. i think we showed for 120 minutes that we are fate and can still impose ourselves. hansie flicks they're just quickly or we're going to kill a deserved surely yeah i mean it's a fantastic success for them kills actually handball town so to suddenly have this football focus on them is interesting but they've been knocking on the door of the bundesliga for a while they're actually 3rd in the 2nd division now the got

a good chance of coming up and finn battles that i mentioned he's a key figure because he played for the good of women in the minors they can for years he's gone back to keel so that extra experience might just help them make that step up to the bundesliga if that were to 2nd floor us one it would have been the german cup point can i get back on track for europe yes of course if there's one trophy you're going to lose in it's this one where in the transfer window there's no room is there going to buy any one book maybe they'll have to look at it the defense is looking quite shaky will be watching those things so much. and time for a quick reminder at the top story we're following for you this hour has become the 1st president of the united states to be in pitch twice the house budget 523221972 impeach him on a charge of incitement of insurrection of the storming of the capitol declines 10 republicans broke ranks trump denies encouraging violence will now go to a trial in the sim. card is in uganda revoting infantry and presidential
