delivered on his pledge to shake up american politics. and opted. from leaves office a week after he was impeached for the 2nd time for his role in death he's been charged with inciting an insurrection on the capital after his supporters stormed the building making him the only president in u.s. history to be impeached twice the top republican congressman mcconnell turned his back on his longtime ally and on tuesday condemned trump's role in the capital c h. the mob was. they were provoked by the president and other powerful people. meanwhile security has been beefed up considerably in contrast to 2 weeks ago some national guard troops have even been removed from biden's inauguration after being vetted by the f.b.i.

including 2 who posted extremist views but all eyes now 10 to incoming president joe biden who on arriving in washington d.c. on tuesday paid tribute to the u.s. as 400900 victims. to heal we must remember. it's hard sometimes to remember. but that's how we heal it's important to do that as a nation that's why we're here today. the pandemic and the threat of violence means biden will be inaugurated to little pomp and ceremony but certainly an overflowing in-tray. well joining us now is just beginning she chairs the history department at berlin's free university thanks for being with us professor so don't trench presidency is nearly over his departure has been dramatic to say

the least so professor what's the 1st thing that comes to your mind when you look back at 4 years of donald trump. good morning terry i think the short answer is thank god the nightmare is over quite honestly a longer one is that what i hope for after the elections of 2016 hasn't the come true. what we've seen here is that democracies are very vulnerable and they're very frustrating they could be the really disappointed everyone because nobody really gets what they want and what we saw here over the past 4 years was the system of checks and balances that eventually worked we haven't really seen most of the people who did that to destroy and work that the administrators and the judges and the officials and the activists the ones who worked so hard to keep our constitutional and liberal procedure but the system did work and i think this is extremely reassuring there is

a lesson to learn at the end of the day and that is i think in the 21st century the foremost threat to liberal democracies such as the united states. are no more men with weapons and uniforms who overthrow governments and kill liberal leaders and assume authoritarian power the foremost threat to liberal democracy is 2 days of pressure from within ard or next to decision makers who abuse power ok so we may have gotten off lightly this time but be aware of the future be aware of the future as well a lot of people are wondering what the future will be like under joe biden there's a lot of hand-wringing over trump's impact on the world order and america's standing abroad how difficult do you think will be for president joe biden to restore lost trust. i think it's it's going to be difficult no doubt but i think you may be better off than most of us think because. half of the voting people in the country 1st of all are on his side and the key i think will be really

signs inspirations and communications in the early part of his presidency in the 1st 100 or as he said his the 10 days as it always really has been to his new presidents in the united states it's going to be impossible to solve all the problem if you think about it you know trying to change and share your vision the economy international relations and so on but politically we know what did the trick in the past is really inspiration will he be able to inspire americans across the board 2 things here are against him his agent has a record he's just been around for a long long time so not really a newbie and newbies are the ones who have been given chances but on the other hand he got in job that does make him something. i am he may be a moderate successful man and he's brought in a younger team as well of course coming to harris have aside what are your main expectations professor for the biden administration are you optimistic about joe

biden's prospects for healing the nation. absolutely i am and for all the precautions and all the national guards the security and all the things that we see today on the mall in washington i think this is a day of joy for liberal democracy i think you may be able to manage to work with the republicans or at least some hard of the republicans which incidentally is just as divided as the democratic party is and there is a wing i think that is going to be able to work together with them so i think this is a day of joy just beginning to brilliance for university thank you very much for talking with us thank you very much terry have a good day. well straight after his inauguration one of the many things joe biden plans do is to speed up the rollout of coded backs in nations he aims to have 100000000 shots given by the 100th day of his administration deaths from the virus

decline in germany there in strains of covert 19 believed to be more contagious could undo all the hard work they've been isolated cases of some strains and authorities want to get on top of the threats. it isn't soft as our moves this is not the scientists tell us that it's not yet dominant it's the some insight there's still some time to contain the danger of them. of course it would be wrong to conclude from that that we still have all the time in the world to act and then so just over a month into germany's latest lockdown the chancellor and the 16 state premiers agreed to extend existing measures until mid february large parts of public life will remain closed like schools and daycare centers but also shops museums theaters and restaurants. they'll be

a lot more of these to be seen medical masks will be compulsory on public transport and in shops the so-called f f p 2 masks offer greater protection but common surgical masks will also be allowed. and there's to be much more working from home the government's imposing stricter rules to stop office workers from commuting is much reducing the infection risk on public transport. germany's leaders are once again appealing for patients if the shelves what we are asking of people is hard. but the priority must be protection that is what we have to take into account and that is what we have taken into account today. for now the public is mostly on side recent polling shows 40 percent happy with stricter measures while just over 20 percent would prefer things to stay as they are but around a 3rd want restrictions to be eased or to end completely. before that happens there's

likely to be some hard weeks ahead infection rates are still nearly 3 times the preferred level. but with patience persistence and sticking to the rules or thora things hope the pandemic will start to loosen its grip on germany. spring and our political correspondent need a house here nina what's the strategy behind these new measures. americal is a scientist so she believes when scientists tell her that we could face an even greater threat from those new variants that are coming in from other countries and so it was very clear from the beginning that the current restrictions would be extended for as long as possible and under german law that is 4 weeks so that brings us to mid february and the idea of course is that a sudden new spike in numbers has to be prevented. and we will hopefully have more information on the new variants by then the current restrictions are already quite

strict large parts of public life have been shot since november but the numbers are not going down quite as much as they need to be and so now the idea is to focus more on the works fear and not just on the private sphere because there are very big limitations on how many people you can meet in private but people politicians are saying that still too many people go to the offices when that is not absolutely nasa necessary and that means that trains and buses are quite full so more infections potentially and so now that is why they've introduced this obligation to where medical masks to prevent infections where people do need and they're forcing companies to have their people work from home wherever that is possible. the need for further action need it was clear long before the chancellor and state premiers gathered yet it took them hours and hours to agree on the new rules. well the key

sticking point was whether or not to introduce or to. to keep schools and kindergartens shut and extend the measures for them as well to keep them set for a longer period and that was of course a debate about the right balance between opening them because children have a right to education here in germany and there's a lot of pressure on parents that momentary essentially having to teach their kids at home and on the other hand the data that scientists are giving us weather warning that the new information that they have seemed to suggest that the new variants of the virus are a lot more transmissible also amongst children and young people and so on the macro wanted to keep those schools shut until the numbers would have gone down a lot more significantly but there was a lot of resistance from some social democratic leaders of regions who said that the schools must be given a perspective to open again in a thank you so much w.'s political correspondent nina has at their here's a look at some other developments in the corona virus pandemic worldwide the world
