donald trump departed the white house and the us presidency last week but he hasn't gone anywhere he still faces an impeachment trial but not for another 2 weeks and this delay in justice it may just work in his favor with each passing day the january 6th storming of the capitol which trump is accused of inciting it seems ever more distant the likelihood that republicans will vote to convict the likelihood republicans will sever the party forever from donald trump last week that seemed possible tonight it's more like mission impossible i'm burned off in berlin this is the day. article one incitement of insurrection. i believe it will be a fair trial but it will move relatively quickly i think this is going to be really
1:03 am
bad for the country everyone wants to put this awful chapter in american history behind us but sweeping it under the rug will not bring healing but it's going to take us not just is going to keep us from focusing on really important things but it's also just going to stir it up even more and make it even harder to get things done the only way to bring healing is to actually have real accountability. also coming up moderate conservatives in america they used to call the republican party home that was pre donald trump is the party now entering post donald trump it doesn't sound like. those factors those feelings that are out there among tens of thousands of americans didn't leave when he left on wednesday they're still there that's why he got elected and that's what i hope will be a party. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of our viewers all around the world welcome we

begin the day with the u.s. senate preparing to become a courtroom on trial donald trump yet again almost 2 weeks ago donald trump became the only u.s. president to be impeached twice the house of representatives accusing him of inciting an insurrection the storming of the u.s. capitol on monday the u.s. house of representatives delivered one article of impeachment to the u.s. senate today senators were sworn in as jurors they'll deliver a verdict at the end of donald trump's 2nd impeachment trial but that trial is not starting tomorrow or this week or next week congress has pandemic problems to tend to 1st donald trump once denied the severity of the pandemic could that pandemic now delay or deny justice we have this report. a solemn procession through the halls of the u.s. capitol with donald trump's future in their hands democrats from the house of
1:05 am
representatives set in motion a 2nd impeachment trial for the former president by delivering the single article of impeachment to the senate. article one incitement of insurrection damo by john trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting violence against the government of the united states the democrats say donald trump's baseless claims as election fraud were an incitement to violence culminating in a speech he gave before congress was set to confirm the election results states we will never give up we will never concede it doesn't happen and you don't see that. shortly after these remarks of violent mob reached the u.s. capitol building. right here. riders took over the building for hours and forced lawmakers into hiding hifi full died during the assault.
1:06 am
while several republicans had criticized trump after the riot on january 6th members of the g.o.p. are now softening their stance and are increasingly criticizing the impeachment proceedings were talking about the trial stupid think it's counterproductive democrats say it's important to hold donald trump accountable when the core be dispensed look everyone wants to put this awful chapter in american history behind us but sweeping it under the rug will not bring healing the only way to bring healing is to actually have real accountability which this trial before. the trial begins in 2 weeks' time a test for both parties and the decisive moment for donald trump's legacy. or then for more let's go over to. washington now our bureau chief in his poll she's on the story for us good evening to you maybe if you could help us understand
1:07 am
this process of swearing in senators for this trial that has already begun but the trial itself will not start for another 2 weeks why. exactly they're just taking the initial steps to start the trial but friend what democrats are doing here are 2 things they want to confirm as many as as many of president biden's cabinet members as possible before they start the trial because once it has started all congressional business will come to a halt and they also agreed to give trump and the republicans an opportunity to get their legal counsel together so that they can be prepared as well so that's also kind of a fair gesture and we know that the pietschmann article the charge here it certainly is that complex either senators believe that trump inside did the capitol right on january the 6th or they don't is there any chance tonight that enough republicans
1:08 am
will vote with the democrats to convict down will draw. well this is the big big question and this time there probably won't be any witnesses or experts because as we talked earlier this will be really a how didn't try case of whether from inside the insurrection or not at this very moment it does actually not look like the democrats will heed enough have enough support from republicans to convict the former president you know brand we have to keep in mind it's it's a very tricky situation for republicans they are under a lot of pressure to not challenge from why he still has a grip on the party and he still can to ruin political careers of those who are not loyal with him and his supporters that's right and the threats have been made or
1:09 am
intimated that we know for sure there has been agreement in the senate on how business will be conducted and that should have a bearing we understand on the future response to the cove of 19 pandemic we're going to talk about that in just a moment but 1st i want to look at a report on the rollout of the vaccine nations in the us surrounded by the corona virus in her illustration it's all i think about visual artist sandra bed like expresses her feelings about the pandemic her biggest hope was getting a vaccine and the date was already set. when i got the appointment i called everyone i told everyone i thought it important that i was there was like what a lot of but the new york city ran out of vaccine doses. i didn't know that it had been changed until i saw something on the news and some friends sent me things saying that they were canceling all the rest of the appointments on thursday personally know when e-mail me no one called me she's one of at least 23000
1:10 am
people in new york city whose appointments were cancelled 15 vaccine have shut down over the weekend new york authorities blame the federal government new york blames the federal government. they said they had additional dosages in. that they would send they say will increase the supply. they never did this is one of the facts you have here in new york city had to close due to the vaccine supply shortages thousands of apartments had to be cancelled and many other parts of the us by experiencing very similar problems the by god ministration is under serious pressure to solve this problem quickly this is the plan better vaccine distribution is part of joe biden's coronavirus strategy. if you want stronger federal coordination in the entire vaccination process by contrast former
1:11 am
president donald trump left most of the decisions up to the individual states experts warn current problems won't be solved without increased production. i think number one is increase maxine supply very very important motivate companies to accelerate the production of. meet the demand. americans have high expectations. i mean my family for almost a year now. and i really want them to get vaccinated too so it's not just new york it's everywhere that that. kind of problem so the federal government for i think there's a lot of order that needs to take place in these testing and vaccination sites that asking a lot of patients the people that people are going to ask for more than. sandra bed lacks appointment was rescheduled but after the last cancellation she's now
1:12 am
much more skeptical i'm just like hoping that they're going to come through with it but now i don't believe them anymore you know like i trusted them last week but not all it'll take more time until the vaccines free americans from the virus. as an actual report we know that the pandemic in the us where you ward things will probably get worse before they get better president by he's pushing for congress to pass what was 2 trillion dollars in coded relief trumps impeachment trial no it will not begin for another 2 weeks is this enough time to take care of the country's business before attention turns to the trial and into taking care of the constitution. excellent question when you're living here in the united states i mean joe biden's team the white house is really attempting to move as fast as possible and get through the impeachment as fast as possible as well but the problem brant with the relief package is that republicans won to slim it down by
1:13 am
the democrats want to address a number of issues for example raising the minimum wage with it but this most likely actually we're not going to get policy so the vora here is that they won't have enough time to process something before march that's when the federal unemployment benefits run out again so as washington kind of continues to be bade people are losing their jobs day by day and wondering whether they will be able to put food on the table or keep a roof over their house so it's grim times here in the united states the misery seems to not want to and that is for sure in this poll with the latest tonight in washington as always enos thank you.
1:14 am
well here in the european union anger is growing over a vaccination rollout stuck in slow year it comes as both pharmaceuticals astra zeneca and finds are have announced cuts in the amount of vaccines that they will deliver to the e.u. in response the european union is calling for stricter controls on exports of the code 19 banks seeing that are produced here. talks and more talks have done little to less than anger at astra zeneca european officials say the firm has failed to adequately explain why it was slashing its back seam deliveries to the e.u. base of europe invested billions to help develop the world's 1st 1000 mexicans. to create a truly global common good and now the companies must deliver. they must honor their obligations. astra zeneca as delivery cuts are the latest setback
1:15 am
to e.u. plans to vaccinate 70 percent of adults by summer earlier this month fires are said it would temporarily reduce its deliveries to the year was well citing production issues. but u.k. health officials say they expect to have enough supply to meet the country's vaccination targets that reality is fuelling tensions already that. i think the thing to do now is not to. go down the the sort of the dead end of the nationalism is to work together to make sure that we protect our people that's my priority is to protect the british people to protect the united kingdom but also to protect the whole world is no one to save the little city. but divisions over how to fairly distributed vaccines will likely persist in the near term south africa's president lashed out at wealthy countries accusing them of buying up the global vaccine supply. now rich countries in the world won't need banks in the end
1:16 am
we are saying these the excess. that you have you have altered and the hordes of south africa still needs to secure 14000000 more doses to accomplish its vaccination goal by contrast the e.u. u.k. and the u.s. have signed contracts with truck makers to acquire more than $200.00 times that amount. all right europe's supply shock to talk about that i'm joined tonight by rachel silverman she's a policy fellow at the center for global development she specializes in global health policy rachael's good to see you again i remember last november you calculated that the world's wealthy countries had snapped up almost all of the bio on tech pfizer vaccine that was the 1st vaccine that was approved what's the picture wike now in terms of vaccine access for the world's poorest countries. so
1:17 am
it's a much better picture i think also it's great that it's a much better picture but it is a complicated exercise to help so the 1st big thing that's happened is we have additional back seen candidates that have shown themselves to be highly active in related to nickel trials so we also have mckiernan vaccine and of course the astra zeneca vaccine and that's expanded the overall supply of vaccine in the system there are also the vaccines coming out of china and russia that although in my opinion do not have sufficiently transparent share data are being taken out by some low and middle income countries even already it today and we're seeing is there still are not having vaccines reach these countries in the quantities we would like to see and the speed that we're seeing in rich countries but we are starting to see kovacs which is an international. can no longer it by. charity effort to ensure equitable access to these vaccines we see that they are
1:18 am
talking about scheduling some of these deliveries more this 1st round of vaccines in q one so things are improving but they're not where we want them to be quite yet and we've got the european union saying that it's not receiving what you paid for but it ordered at the same time you've got south africa's president today accusing wealthy countries of hoarding the vaccine for their own citizens i mean what do you think what's the truth here. and the truth is it's complicated the truth i mean fundamentally this truth is there's just not enough vaccine supply to go around to everyone right now and so what we're seeing is no country actually has access right now everyone is struggling to get enough supply to back to meet their citizens and is trying to keep up with demand however what is true and i think what president of those i was referring to is the fact that rich countries have preordered much more
1:19 am
than they will need in aggregate so by the end of this year assuming supply projections happen as expected many wealthy countries will have much more than they need while court countries probably still will be struggling to meet the needs of their populations so what i'd like to see is some commitments to back to me to do any of the excise tax in the east and once countries have know that they have enough to vaccinate their own populations and what norway is doing actually is donating some doses in parallel to their own oxidation efforts one of the cheaper vaccines that are coming along and now i'm thinking of the astra zeneca i'm also thinking about the one from johnson and johnson shouldn't they help solve the problem for poor countries. absolutely so every new vaccine that comes on line especially the of lands with lower priced plants is in our enormously helpful it is our role as is astra zeneca we have a pretty large international production capacity including at the syrian institute in india which is producing this vaccine in math j.n.j.
1:20 am
we still have because the readout for that act in but if it comes on line that would be great news in large part because it only are criers one dose which is tremendously helpful from a logistical perspective so the more actions we get on line the closer we get to solving this problem and relieving the overall supply constraint that we're all feeling in europe in the u.s. and for i'm curious rachel superman with the center for global development we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you think it. the senate trial of donald trump will decide much more than the political future of the former u.s. president could shape the future of the g.o.p. itself if trump is convicted he could also be barred from holding political office again perhaps more important would be the act of breaking with donald trump by voting to convict we'll get some republican opinion on that in just a moment but 1st the thoughts of 2 republican senators who will be involved in that
1:21 am
trial but i think it's pretty clear that over the last year or so there has been an effort to corrupt the election at the united states that it was not by president biden it was by president trump. president trump of course will continue to have influence but i think our party is going to return to some of our more fundamental principles which is fiscal responsibility believing in the importance of character standing with our allies and pushing back against people like kim jong un and and vladimir putin does i think the trial is stupid i think it's counterproductive we already have a flaming fire in this country and it's like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire so i think obviously fairness is important no matter who it is we're talking about but i just want to repeat i think this is going to be really bad for the country it's going to take us not just is going to keep us from focusing on really important things but it's also just going to stir it up even more and make it even harder to get things done moving forward. for more on this i'd like to welcome back to the day richard painter he
1:22 am
was the white house senior ethics lawyer during the presidency of george w. bush he was also a member of the republican party until 2016 the year that donald trump became us president mr painter it's good to have you back on the day we just heard from 2 republican senators mitt romney and marco rubio which one speaks the truth about the future of the republican party. i believe that mitt romney does and mitt romney's but the truth about the future of the republican party in 2016 when he warned that donald trump was a fraud that he should may not be nominated for the republican. nomination for president the united states unfortunately he was nominated he won the election . donald trump has engaged in. solicitation of election fraud in georgia trying to get they georgia secretary of state to have come up with 13000 votes is inside it a riot and encouraged sedition he had
1:23 am
a meeting and the white house where he talked about it with michael flynn his former general flynn as national security advisor about using martial law and having the military go into pennsylvania and georgia and other states to redo the election donald trump is behaving like a dictator and you can have a left wing dictator right wing that that are. they hate that way this has nothing to do with political ideology there's a big difference between a staunch conservative of which mitt mitt romney certainly has and someone like donald trump who does not believe in objective truth talks about alternative bax spills out lies and then ultimately believes in force rather than the rule of law and that's a decision the republican party has to make those want to say that marco rubio is just running scared right now because there's talk about a bunk up trump running against him for that senate seat down in florida no maybe
1:24 am
he's just trying to not alienate the trump voters and he's just trying to say this again and save his job speak up for what's right for the united states and for his political party you know it could be fear of evolve who would have thought about that 4 years ago trump's advisor jason miller he was asked about. trump's future role in the party and this is what he said the president has made clear his goal is to win back the house and the senate republicans in 2022 there's nothing that's actively being planned regarding an effort outside of that but it's completely up to republican senators if this is something that becomes more serious a mr painter that sounds like a threat if republican senators vote to convict trump they're going to be punished . well donald trump could try and that's why i think what's going to happen is
1:25 am
we're going to either get to the 17 and they agree they're going to do it and convict him in which case donald trump would be permanently discredited in the court of public opinion. to think that he isn't already or they're just going to run scared no one's going to want to be one of the they 7 or 8 are willing to do it if they can't get to that magic number 17 republicans or requires 2 thirds of the senate to convict donald trump but once again this is about not just people trying to save their own jobs politically or at least i would hope it wouldn't may not about the future of our country and the republican party the republican party if it wishes to be starkly conservative can do so i was a republican for 30 years my political views are much more moderate but that's a separate issue from what we're talking about with donald trump and his brand of politics which is completely unnecessary to advance a conservative agenda and is indeed very destructive and has harmed the republican
1:26 am
party a great deal those 2 georgia senate seats where there was there was no way that went to lowe's and people kind of madge and the democrats won in those 2 georgia senate seats a bit a year ago even with donald trump in office humiliating the republican party but his behavior after the election was so reprehensible that georgia even georgia threw out not one but 2 republican senators that donald trump and campaigned for so the republicans have to decide if they want to go down with donald trump in this brand of politics or return to their own traditional agenda and advance their agenda but using democratic means i've got about a minute left mr perry let me ask you this trump remains the biggest fund raiser in the republican party he still has his base of supporters it would almost be impossible to sever ties from him at the moment. well we're going to see what happens he has lost his twitter platform for wan he was
1:27 am
a very very powerful fundraiser as president of the states but his appeal his emotional appeal in the united states is not to the well to do that people might be large campaign contributions his motional the bill is to lower income predominantly white. people who want to blame their economic problems on immigrants on african-americans and who actually are very willing to take a bunch of conspiracy theories into consideration and i don't think there's a lot of money in that those quarters mr prince and we're out of time richard painter we as always we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation continues online or find us on twitter either if you know news you can follow me a brit go off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.
