surprised so many traders will only to go through supporter of mind to ever endorse political. thinking it's their city in which they have to make a stand against things that i am all for bob violence goes against everything i believe i'm very excited i feel a complete list let us choose to move forward united for the good of a family. use our country. literally a psychopath. also coming up the presidential election in uganda that the entire world is watching a long time authoritarian incumbent against a singer by the name of bobby wine today wine said the government is using violence offline and online to intimidate voters. we know that then it does mean. because you know most of it is not want it. and doesn't want.

to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with a time impeached us president it was just 24 hours ago when the u.s. house of representatives democrats and republicans voted to impeach donald trump he is the only president in u.s. history to be impeached twice lawmakers are holding trump responsible for last week's deadly siege of the u.s. capitol the article of impeachment against him reads the president threatened the integrity of the democratic system interfered with the peaceful transition of power and imperiled a co-equal branch of government now it was one year ago when trump was impeached for the 1st time accuse them of abusing his power to influence the presidential election you may remember not a single republican voted to impeach him then not the case yesterday 10 republicans

voted to impeach the president here are some voices from both sides of the aisle and the debate and we know that the president of the united states incited this insurrection this armed rebellion against our common country he must go the left in america has incited far more political violence than the right for months our cities burned police stations burned the 117th congress must understand that we have a mandate to legislate in defense of black lath the 1st step in that process if to root out white supremacy starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief democrats can say quote you know there needs to be unrest in the streets while there is unrest in the streets. but they're going to impeach the president for saying peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard let's be consistent all of us were donald trump is now facing

a trial in the us senate and an unprecedented trial of a u.s. president who will no longer be in office to discuss the trial the president and the future of the republican party i'm joined tonight by richard painter mr painter was the white house ethics lawyer for president george w. bush he joins me tonight from minneapolis minnesota mr painter it's good to have you back on the day let me start by getting your thoughts on where the united states is tonight a day after donald trump became the 1st president to be impeached twice. well donald trump deserves to be the 1st president page twice he did incite a seditious riot he called on people to march on capitol hill and he knew there was going to be violence and these people in the threatening violence for a long time and he has spread lawn about the election this election was clearly won by joe biden and i've seen close elections the united states including the 2000

election where i supported president george w. bush won by only $400.00 votes this election the bottom line is that the president elect biden won the popular vote by $7000000.00 and we won in several states 550-607-0000 votes these key states this wasn't even close furthermore we heard lies told on the floor of the house of representatives again no elected democrat indorsed any of the violence that took place the summer the vast majority of the black lies matters protesters were peaceful protesters they were very small number of people engaging in violence and some of those people actually were white supremacists this summer pretending they were black was matter supporters so the idea that democrats or that any sane american endorse violence this summer or accountable hill on the 6th of

january is absolutely absurd and for people to get up on the floor of the house of representatives and try and blame this on the democrats when it's clearly donald trump's the person who incited this riot he deserves to be impeached again and again victim by the senate you know 10 republicans in the house they voted to impeach trump but the rest of the republicans did not in fact during the debate yesterday we heard lawmakers challenging the fact that trunk had been involved in any way with the seizure of the u.s. capitol west. i want you to take a listen to what trump his son and his attorney said just moments before the violence began take a listen. and mike pence is going to have to come through for us and if he doesn't . that will be a sad day for a country road this is done drugs republican party it will in this is the republican party that were parked over mirka

farce world we will never give up we will never concede it doesn't happen you don't see the it will it let's have a trial by combat it was a trial by combat i mean the words the events of last week and the president's role they are clear but now listen to what a member of the house republican lauren neighbored said yesterday before the impeachment vote were the accountability for the left after encouraging and normalizing violence rather than actually helping american people in this time we start impeachment that further divide our country i call bull crap when i hear the democrats demanding unity sadly they are only unified and hate mr painter she represents the trump republicans in congress it's unclear that

enough republicans in the u.s. senate will vote to convict the president would a non conviction in your opinion be tantamount to a republican indorsement of that insurrection. yes it would and it would be an endorsement of the lies that you just heard spoken of once again no elected democrat no decent person indorsed violence over the summer and that's just a lie that was told there in order to justify what donald trump did donald trump is the one who said there ought to be trouble come back combat means violence and that's what occurred on topical hill i was a republican for 30 years but don't trump came into the republican party turned it into something it's not and there is a fundamental difference between conservative political the it was and fascist and authoritarian views and the latter category we have people who are willing to use violence to get what they want and those are the people who bring the downfall of

republican governments and it's happened in other countries and we do not want to happening in the united states you know today there are reports suspicions that republican members of congress may have given tours of the capitol building to some of the rioters a day before they stormed the building knowing that do you think the republican party has a future and does it deserve a future after what we're witnessing. oh i believe the republican party should take the step of purging every member of the republican party who endorsed this right and also these election fraud theories are just sheer nonsense we need to get back to a world in which objective truth is understood and recognized in politics we can agree and disagree on a number of things but when you have objective truth it's so obvious that joe biden

won this election by an overwhelming number of votes both the electoral college and the popular vote for people to be perpetuating lies and then saying that they're speaking for the republican party is an embarrassment to the republican party and so the party was to survive that i have to get rid of all these people not just donald trump. and also people tell lies what you just heard there about democrats indorsing violence which just didn't happen. mr paine i want to ask you about the standing of the united states especially for its european allies after all that has happened during the trump presidency i want you to take a listen to what germany's foreign minister said about the impeachment don't trump donald trump has disregarded the democratic decision of the american voters and he is trying to pull democratic rules. should be a bigger issues and get it in the minds again we must seek the closing of ranks of all democrats against the enemies of democracy within our societies but also beyond

them worldwide and noticed it right now when you hear that coming from the heart of europe can the credibility of american democracy be restored and can it be restored as long as the republican party remains a force in u.s. politics. the credibility of the united states will be restored beginning next wednesday when joe biden is sworn in as president of the not it states i am not political and and i'm no longer with the republican party but i do very much hope that the republican party will expire the extremists the racists the fascists these various extreme elements that have caused great damage to the party if they wish to embrace very conservative principles they they certainly are free to do so but within the democratic. model of electors

people vote to choose their leaders and we respect the results of elections we do not riot in the streets we're not going to have fascists and other people battling the streets to try to put their person in the presidency that's just not acceptable in the republican party needs to make a decision to expel the trampers and move on or the republican party will no longer have a place in american politics all right richard painter joining us tonight from minneapolis mr painter as always we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you stay safe thank you so much well who are those angry supporters of donald trump who stormed the capitol f.b.i. investigators say that most of them are men most are white and many view their loyalty to donald trump as a license to fight against the government even if that would mean civil war.

thousands of people across america have joined armed groups in recent years a worrying sign for democracy and 2020 there were a series of incidents that now look like warning signs a self-styled militia members shot 2 people dead in protests in wisconsin a group in michigan occupied the state capitol and allegedly planned to kidnap the state's democratic governor. but what motivates people to join a militia experts say distrust of government fear of having gun rights taken away but there's also the rise of conspiracy theories which have now become widespread in the us on social media encouraged by donald trump. who are experiencing here is new orleans on the american people and now lives in an alternative universe of facts they have committed so it's a complete conspiracy theory and this information about the election. that boiled

over on january 6th when a mob storm to the u.s. capitol during the campaign trumped repeatedly had the chance to tell his followers to calm down but instead gave the moments like this. give me a white is a program that's unlikely to indict outgrows lesson right proud of my religion stand back and stand by taking their directions from the man they perceive as their boss many extremists accept what he says as truth. that the traders are actually the ones in in in their you know in congress and who are supporting. the transition and so they believe they're now called upon and be mobilized to stop it so they think they're being heroic. peace groups are likely to remain dangerous they've shown no signs of backing down even as their

favorite president's term comes to an end. or the 2nd story now the wash your correspondent all over salad good evening to you oliver the f.b.i. is warning that armed groups across the u.s. view last week's storming of the capitol as a success what does that mean for the for the near term well read what that means is that authorities believe that those groups groups are a serious threat of course and not only for washington d.c. the disk of the city is currently preparing for the inauguration as you mentioned but all across the united states so a success let's put that in brackets but that could have also been a lot worse you know there were kidnapping some kidnapping will supplant they are also the people shouted hang my pants the vice president an extremism expert that i interviewed recently that we've also heard in the report cynthia miletus told me that there's a broader a far right coalition in the united states currently openly advocating for

a new civil war so you can tell those groups feel emboldened right now and there's a tight security in place especially in washington d.c. off the likes that we have never seen before you know i understand 20000 national guard troops are being sent to the u.s. capitol will meet this is unprecedented. it absolutely is and it is such a surreal atmosphere there is a big fence cordoning off large parts of washington d.c. especially the area where the capitalist capitol hill the national mall will approach protests usually take place also though why tell us so you can't get anywhere near those areas the fences are topped with razor wire there are concrete barriers blocking important avenues and streets police cars with their flashing lights on and then of course the $20000.00 soldiers are currently some of them are still arriving about thousands are they already sleeping on the grounds of the capital it really reminds you rather of the green zone in baghdad rather than off

the capital of the united states of course but what it really shows you that is our situation here in the u.s. capitol is that all stories just want to make sure that the situation that happened a week ago in the capital won't be repeated yet the green zone down the street from the white house who would have imagined then it's all over salad with the leaders tonight from washington all over thank you. movember presidential election in the united states will go down in history as one of the most divisive in polarizing but american politics and elections they're not unique that way just ask the voters in uganda they went to the polls today to choose a president on the ballot $85.00 term authoritarian incumbent or a former pop singer turned politician they are already claims of vote rigging and there was violence at some polling places. one by one each vote from this polling

station is called out to onlookers supporters cheer for their preferred candidate. it's been quite. like expected despite going to see into i think everything's moved to the moon but it got to the polls are now closed in uganda as people settle in for a tense count. election day soar excitement in the long lines to vote mixed with the threat of violence with riot police patrolling the streets the election campaign has seen almost daily violence and crackdowns on opposition supporters but ugandans remain on deterred. this nation. and we hope to make you stupid. it's a clash of generations in one of africa's youngest countries incumbent yari mr veiny is one of africa's longest serving leaders the former griller leader has spent 35 years in office in a country where the average age is less than 30. always going to be as strong.

the army is strong. and experienced the population. go out and vote thursday's election pits him against opposition frontrunner wine he voted new compiler with his wife. the former a reggae artist has managed to channel the frustrations of a generation into a viable challenge against most of a nice ruling national resistance movement. pre-election violence has also taken the lives of dozens of opposition supporters wind recently appeared at one of their funerals. was a lecture on. radio not preparing for the live sun. rising

her predecessor of the group that brought the right by the military and the body of . the ruling and blocked access to the internet for the election challenge of bobby wind calling it dictatorial tendencies. the an hour and promises the elections will be free and fair but with the blackout on communications and those looking for change to vote to elect accountability and transparency. for more now we want to go to washington i'm joined by paul and then to you from the africa center for strategic studies at the u.s. department of defense mr ned tell you it's good to have you on the program our report talks about a clash of generations taking place in this election is uganda's older generation is it voting to keep the status quo. yes this is definitely 1st of all thank you for inviting me to the show we did put out

a report that was looking at the demographic. situation in uganda this election is definitely being driven by that demographic the older generation their generation that liberates of the country which was involved in an armed struggle going all the way back to the immediate pre-independence era wants to hold on to that legacy they only want the legacy of liberation they are holding on to the legacy of having delivered to the country from a very very difficult. post-independence period we all heard about the. misgovernance in uganda under the india mean under milton obote to so that's the kind of legacy that they're trying to hang on to but then of course in these types of situations and it's by no means unique to uganda we've seen it in many other african countries imposed liberation settings where you know political power it comes incumbency also comes with certain benefits with economic benefits with

financial benefits so it may well be that members of this generation that are in government would want to protect those interests as much as possible you also have you know. issues of accountability there's been a lot of a lot of talk about that there's been a lot of talk about issues of the of the of injustice those issues are not going to disappear so it is also conceivable that people that are within the government of our access are also looking at the possibility of prosecution so you've got all these issues combine it's then it then it then gives us a sense as to why members of this generation would want to hold on to office but like i said it's not unique to uganda there are many other post liberation settings where you have this where you have these well what would a bobby wine victory in this election what would it mean then for the country. well again going back to the demographic reality the 1st thing is that it would

basically be. a signal uganda 1st peaceful transition of power since independence the country has never had a peaceful transition of power so if that were to happen this would basically it would basically. you know be a 1st in the country's history secondly it would basically signify the. alignment of the country's political leadership with the demographic realities in uganda as i mentioned before over 75 percent of the ugandan population is below the age of 30 is the main opposition at least it was 70 right now is basically from that generation so these are 2 issues out in case in the event that. the wind. this up particular election mr netanyahu got one minute left i want to ask you based on the demographics of uganda then it would make sense that bobby wine would win this election if he does it when would you say then that would be

that would be proof that the election has been rigged and tampered with. well irrespective of what happens in this election irrespective of who wins and who loses this election there are 7 issues that are not going to go away the 1st issue is the question of transition what kind of transition is you're going to going to have even if the 70 were to remain in office a question you know you know of being being asked and it being raised about what happens after the 70 does he hold on does he hand over to a new generation within the n.r.m. what happens you know you know there's still open questions about that the other question that will remain out in the open is the issue of the social contract as i mentioned earlier there are issues of accountability issues of injustice that have been raised in this election you know some opposition leaders have written to the international criminal court i mean all these issues are going to remain a freeness and fairness of the election will have to be resolved in

a court of law but all these issues will remain in respect where you lection all right mr pauling until you're joining us tonight from washington is no 2 we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you very much. well the day is almost done the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the w. news or you can follow me of brant goff t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

burned to the ground people have to brace the bitter winter cold authorities have set up new tense but there is still no running water or electricity. from here seems within reach for most migrants and the lipa camp was the as just that. their goal is to reach the e.u. and so they try and try to cross the border to neighboring croatia for. the living conditions in the camps are so terrible that moving to a nearby forest seems like a better option for him his big goal is to someday make it to germany and he's willing to enjoy our numerous hardships to make his dream come true. this camp in the forest is what. he used to called home for 3 months he shares his homemade tent with 5 other men.

they distribute a bit of food and clothing to the approximately 30 men from pakistan and bangladesh living in this camp. it's a small town in bosnia-herzegovina along the croatian border. but beyond that all the other supplies are. of the often as just saw his own firewood temperatures frequently drop below 0 at this time of year. but he and the others want to hold in the cold and mud until their next attempt to cross the border into croatia and enter that you who i want to. place catch. their beard.

across the water. to successfully. dr hopes to find work in germany it was a daily struggle for survival in his hometown of pakistan. life here in the forest is hard says. but still better than in the lead refugee camp an hour's drive to the south where he previously stayed. the lethal camp has been in the international headlines for weeks 1st for being cleared out and then because it burned down these bunk beds are a lasting reminder. there are now new tents for the refugees and migrants but many here say the accommodation is now worse than before. this is a. living place here we are suffering here that's why we dasn't going to leave this is

a. suitable place for leaving during tax season the bosnian authorities have faced harsh criticism in the wake of these images but in the nearby town of be hard the mayor shish the fossil each places the blame on the bosnian government and the e.u. . european on his parents so much money in cases but. has not received any any euro we have been dealing along with our own money resources european union. should treat migrant crises as a european problem as a global problem the bosnian public is also growing increasingly wary of these migrants fears protests cause this refugee shelter to close its doors a few months ago the e.u. wants refugees to move back in here a nightmare scenario say residents have been protesting against it every day they said that we are we are not ross is 3 years we suffering and helping the people

they don't want to stay in bosnia they just want to go to the border in europe and dear europe. open the border. but for many of the 8000 or so refugees in migrants the chance of being granted asylum in the e.u. and therefore being allowed to stay is very low including for pakistanis like her. but that doesn't scare the 25 year old who has no desire to stay in bosnia and no intention of returning to talk to stan. what are you doing do you have work i don't have nothing. europe have everything. food is good go to school and everything. you know. but as soon as it gets warmer softer ones to make

a new attempt to cross the border into croatia but for the time being he has no choice but to stick it out here in the mud rain and bitter cold. the austrian town of bill is mainly known for its extensive skiing slopes in the all but last year it's made headlines for becoming one of europe's 1st coronavirus hot spots for almost a year now the town has been on shaky grounds of despite ideal snow this year tourists are nowhere to be seen austria's key villages are in lockdown that means trouble for a band have hung out he and his family run a hotel and a bar which are popular among. parties now he only has his animals to keep him company. earnhardt's ngo is normally busy running a 5 star hotel to restaurants and and the priest keep his family owns in his skull

is never has so much time for his out of most he comes here every evening now the protests from their own form is usually delivered to the hotel and restaurant but they're still closed and with. the forces is it worth it says bernhard. goetz the coming of the basic question is whether or not we hunt visitors because everything depends on them. we weren't i hope we can get everything up and running as soon as possible to perform and the whole town is reliant on tourists from germany belgium and the netherlands it has 1600 residents and 12000 beds the village looks like it's ready and poised for the moment things pick up again at a cable car running test mode with hotels close and no tourists around when the cable car just isn't profitable says it's operator but if skiers do come he wants

to avoid crowds forming at all costs only $12.00 people are allowed to fuckin dollars instead of $24.00 and the interior has to be disinfected and aired out regularly to hear them at the station keep the windows open they should be open that's not always possible of course because when the weather is rebound snow flies in. the cabins should be ventilated when possible. the skin area his skull and those 170 kilometers of slopes but as long as the situation remains unclear they're only preparing a quarter of them. and it's west of earning the snow conditions this year are the best they've been in a long time her house anchor of the oppressed people our kids go a year ago it used to be an insider tip for a good party but after a bartender got infected with cove it 19 march. first kids and then made international headlines bernhardt was approved to people that appreciation is

be a wow directors party this winter there will be fewer guests social distancing reservations and hygiene regulations flits this where you're going to be able to move around as freely as in past years it will be a different kind of a preschool so you should see it that way and you still appreciate being able to go on vacation and enjoy the mountains and ski. skiing in schools as for shops also have no customers we'd like to talk to some people but no one wants to not like you like in the free coffee days cameras are no longer welcome initial tourism director andrea style can see why they're. still deeply distressed i mean that they were complicit in making isco a scapegoat for the spread of coronavirus throughout europe. and the muted we didn't create this pandemic this virus was brought here. so the fact that we were

being confronted with it for so long afterwards at the center of attention and wrongfully receiving the blame that's hurts but it's painful. its goal has learned from the mistakes and it now aims to become a model that's known as a cancer part of the plan is to turn the cultural center into a coven $1000.00 testing center. we've already ordered the wounds and everything which we receive next week to do things will be 5 stations through 5 stations will be. 3000 official p.c.r. test a week enabling gas to get tested here on arrival and shortly before leaving again the 5 star hotel owned by bernhard girl's family has run out a skeleton crew around 100 seasonal workers are on call waiting at home in hungary germany and austria all the year round employees are on site taking the 1st cautious reservations mostly from germany 30 kind of looking for the 13th to the

20th of february ok. one double room i don't think. they booked in one decide last minute whether to come here is the thing that means you can't plan ahead i think all hotels in the hopes of the rest of europe face this issue none of them complain the hand. of the manager would need a week to hire seasonal workers and prepare the hotel for guests for now he's just waiting he's hopeful but skeptical they will open their doors in january for 3 times i have been convinced we'll start welcoming guests 1st of november 25th then on december 15th and now in january hope things will work out this time around but we'll see this winter is coming on us through this most exclusive ski resorts is devoid of tourists even so the town is adored and festive fights locals remain hopeful that things will improve. we now take you to the southern italy over the
