32 the nays are 197 there is that resolution is adopted without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon that. 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 a no 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 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 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 trumpet of incitement of insurrection but now it does seem clear

that any trial will take place once he's already left office. correspondent of a cell that 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 essentially expected on the day of the day after all of a u.s. president of course and now ok well week after the riots and 1st year remember it 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 inside a violent mob to take on the capitol where 5 people were killed he then later told that 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 how does this proceed from here. well this is going to be the 1st trial after a 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 the 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 for the history books 6 days now until inauguration and security precautions are 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 are 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 than in afghanistan really it's a surreal atmosphere the whole downtown area all soul 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 country and the concern is then that it's not everywhere a safe as it might seem right now in washington d.c. of a sell it in washington thanks so much. overtly has become in a presidential election in uganda that could see an end to veteran laeta you know

lead trip follows months of diplomatic wrangling china initially denied entry to a scientist he argues that the cars had originated elsewhere well for more we go to our correspondent but he is 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 would be out of core and teen they will meet with doctors medical personnel and people who have been walk 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 that to the 1st

patients in order to get closer to the origins of the virus but as they have said it is highly unlikely that we will get that they were gets to the moment when it was food when 1st occurred in a human being 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 chinese scientists is also strictly monitored and sense that china wants to avoid shedding light again to its initial failure was in the beginning of 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 her bay that's the province that surrounds beijing in other countries an outbreak of this size would be considered as having the virus on the control $500.00 cases so far reported that is not

a lot but it is. alarming the 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. ok some football news now and brand me running german cup champions by munich a looking sad and cold because they've been knocked out of the 2nd round of the competition by a 2nd division side host and kiel a pretty tired looking by took the lead but twice equalized including in the last 2nd to send a match into extra time at $22.00 and went to penalties then converted every kick that bond missed one this is the 1st time in 20 years that by had exited the german top this early on. all right you're watching
