to get out of the. plane. land. this is v.w. news to live from berlin and the u.s. senate says the 2nd impeachment trial against donald trump is constitutional and will go ahead the former president's defense team says the proceedings will tear the country apart but democrats insist he's guilty of inciting the violence egypt congress last month also coming up on the show. the united nations condemns police violence against protesters in indiana mark nice words a day of demonstrations to see tens of thousands defy water cannons and tear gas as they demand a return to democracy. and investigators say it highlights gorgeous visions are

probably to blame for the crash that killed a basketball legend cody bryant and 8 others last year. hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show the united states senate has voted to proceed with the impeachment of donald trump senators voted by a margin of 56 to 44 on the question of whether the trial is constitutional. the former president stands accused of inciting the storming of the capitol by his supporters that left 5 people dead last month. trump has said he's not to blame for the violence he is the 1st us president to be impeached twice. now as the trial began leading democrats made their case for convicting former

president trump let's listen in to the argument from house impeachment manager john you're asking the president united states is forbidden to commit high crimes and misdemeanors against the people at any point that he's in office indeed that's one specific reason the impeachment conviction and disqualification powers exist to protect us against presidents who try to overrun the power of the people in there are elections and replace the rule of law with the rule of mobs. and correspondent all over salad joins us now from washington d.c. for more of our we now have the all clear to hold a full impeachment trial how are democrats going to make their case that trump incited the storming of the capitol. well clearly the democrats are trying to lay out how they believe that all trump is responsible for that violent that took place at the u.s. capitol in january so they're going to be looking at the actions also of donald

trump in the weeks leading to this insurrection they're going to be talking about donald trump's baseless claims of voter fraud and then how he later inside a violent law to storm the capital also his failure to stop it that he did not really calm down the actions. also you remember that 5 people were killed there of course so the democrats will try to draw the bigger picture put things into context we've seen today how they showed some video excerpts all of the raw it also quotes all of the u.s. president of course the former president so very damaging material and also the 1st day also had some very emotional moments when the lead impeachment manager of the democrats cried over some descriptions of injuries the police officers mr trump the legal team on the other hand has been calling the whole trial unconstitutional because trump is no longer president let's listen in it's what defense lawyer bruce castor had to say. so this idea of it. in january and misty is

nonsense if my colleagues on this side of the chamber actually funny the president trump committed a criminal offense and with some student in high crime is a felony and a misdemeanor is a misdemeanor the words haven't changed that much over time after he's out of office you're going to arrest him so the senate has now rejected that argument by him majority vote all over it what are his lawyers going to be arguing now. well clearly the strategy is and you've just heard it in the song the republicans will stick with that and trying to raise dolls about the legitimacy of the trial repeating that they believe the dollar is no longer the president of the united states therefore can't be impeached they continue to believe it's unconstitutional as you know the majority the simple majority that voted against that argument is

democrats all the republicans of course and all trumps lawyer can and will stick with the other side now of course what we're also seeing here is that they're hiding behind this very singular technical question and the real question that democrats are trying to put forward here namely the damage the insurrection took to the u.s. democracy what they believe is a coup attempt that question of course is not tackled in the republican response however you touched on it there but as we move forward a conviction of donald trump will require 2 thirds of the senate to vote how likely is that. is not likely clear at this point of course this impeachment trial is different than the one last year a year ago when congress people really voted along party lines so we are going to see a slight shift here and some republican congress people will vote to impeach donald trump thoughts as you mentioned yourself it needs 2 thirds of the senate to convict

donald trump so it would mean 17 republicans would have to change sides and that's very unlikely at least at this point what the democrats are well aware of that what they are trying to do here is to hold congress people accountable especially eyeing also the next mid-term elections to tell us what the days ahead look like when can we expect to see a vote on conviction. well 1st of all the actual trial begins on wednesday tomorrow so both sides agreed that this will be a fast trial nothing of the likes we've seen last time so we're going to listen to a few days of arguments from both sides debates that will take place if everything goes as planned until friday and then if we stay in schedule the verdict might be there as soon as next wednesday a week from now on t.v. correspondent thank you as ever. let's turn our attention now to some of the

. look i know i know that we are very glad that the protests are happening in the entire country. and we will fight until we win. and there are signs the tide is turning among all forat least to this video posted on social media appears to show a policeman shaking the hand of a protester before they open up the barricades designed to hold protesters back. until now the protests have been largely peaceful but this video being circulated by activists shows a woman being shot by police. in his 1st t.v. address to the nation and the country's new military latest sort to justify the coup repeating allegations of fraud in last year's election you know we are investigating the responsible for a tease regarding voter fraud. you know promised fresh elections but gave no

a massive crackdown on political freedoms in hong kong. but while the i.o.c. claims to be paying heed to human rights activists say it's only paying lip service . to the commitments that the chinese government made to the i.o.c. and the other 2 members of the i.o.c. named itself on human rights are clearly not worth the paper they were written on. china dismisses calls to boycott beijing 2022 as political gamesmanship to return to the words. any attempt to interfere with and disrupt the normal preparation and holding of the olympics out of political motives is highly irresponsible just feet before they're in this war. meanwhile olympic athletes a lift to walk a fine diplomatic line we haven't been talking about anything i've seen ours up like that nader situation with china usa usually we don't talk that much about.

some point now transport safety authorities have completed their inquiries their conclusion human error played a significant role the national transportation safety board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the pilot's decision to continue flight under visual flight rules into instrument meteorological conditions which resulted in the pilot spatial disorientation and watch the control. the board noted that there had not been an adequate safety management system in place and the craft had been travelling at excessive speed investigators also suspected the pilot may have put himself under pressure to satisfy his client the helicopter was not equipped with the flight recording device. and mary wilson the co-founder of u.s. pop group the supremes has died she was 76 years olds most and seen here in the middle started the group in the city of detroit when she was just 15 the supremes went on to have 12 number one singles in the u.s.

i'm christine wonder why it's good to have. your company so malia is facing a leadership crisis off to president mohammed. mohammed's 1st term in office ended with no clear path toward elections on monday and the lions of off of zisha say they would no longer recognize president mohammed of hommage the u.n. security council meets to discuss somalia's political crisis now the country was supposed to hold an election by monday but the favorite a deadline was missed as the central government and federal states over how to conduct the foot's. is a tense atmosphere in the country people in that episode mogadishu told us they all fearful of what could happen. the theater people are concerned

because of the tension between presidential candidates and the government. because the election was not held on time and. we hope our leaders will resolve this tension and hold the election and we hope the government and the opposition will come together and agree on the election process. we need peace and stability in this country. and if. we go out of my will but. we don't want destruction to happen in a country we want a fair election to be harrell's of. the mob we want both the opposition and the current government to work together for the good of the country hopefully it doesn't come up. to us about the rough you were going to say if the politicians don't come to an understanding. it could lead to war description. and the rising crime. and i am now joined by abdulaziz below he's

a journalist in somalia's capital mogadishu good to have you on the program. why all of the it is in somalia failing to agree on how to conduct the election. there's number of said that there's a 1000000 readers are in now facing one of which is the election because each country's 5 regional states 2 election venues are been designated for elections to take place and that does not apply in the original state of jubilant that is the one that shows the border with neighboring kenya and their federal authorities out of the view that jubilant elections will only take place in there and they're going to have it but are going to have it is not under the control of that original state of the jungle and it's under the control of the somali federal government and the regional leader in that area. argues that unless a federal troops are pulled out of the entire give the region then elections cannot take place there so this is one of the biggest that has caused their election a delay and it's the one that made the talks that are taking place over and over

again to carbs and last of friday's are there's also another setback that is there lection of lawmakers from some island region who are supposed to their actions supposed to take place in mogadishu but isn't normally kind of them in place yet really on how these elections will take place and ranks of the issue of the composition of the electoral commission because regional states are adding that it is made up of the president's allies and it might still to the in favor of the current president in terms of elections ok in the meantime the opposition are insisting that the president step down and that a transitional council be appointed to lead the country and so the election is eventually held is this likely to happen. well that is the opposition demands issued an ultimatum saying that the president will lower power to this transitional national council it does not have been formed of origins and including the president in his address recently to parliament said that talks

can still take place between regional and federal leaders he did not true a lot that cannot happen. and are skeptical saying that the current president mohammed up to life at my door is an obstacle to the implementation of the election itself it says that it needs a transitional national council that will be headed by a group of individuals that includes the speakers of the family parliament the somalia senate members of the opposition civil society unless all these people are brought on board the opposition is adamant that if the current president is left to coordinate the election process then elections might never happen that is their biggest worry for now but it's not clear whether this transitional national council can be formed because a we're expecting our talks to continue in the next their coming weeks according to authorities right and we know that president mohammed abdul ali mohammed was running for a 2nd term what was his 1st term like and what he possibly have won reelection with

with major public support. exactly as you mentioned it the current president in 2017 came in amid a train on from our happiness from the smiling public were very eager for his presidency because in 2011 he was ousted as prime minister and the country witnessed a massive demonstration of so many people where young and for leadership but over the years things didn't turn out as the smiling public expected in terms of security for instance there were deadly arch of our tax that escalated time and again including a deadly attack in september in october rather 142017 that killed more than $600.00 people that is the deadliest attack to ever take place in somalia and it happened and these watch but then again in terms of economic reforms financial progress the rebuilding of the somali security act architecture all these are some of these strong on sundays are some of the issues that is going to raise in his campaign during their coming elections so many people still yes and young for the leadership

so that is it is a 2nd but then there is the biggest challenge now that needs to be under that's their election. ability to tap into us from a technician thank you. let's take a look now at some of the stories making news across the continent at least 28 people have been killed off to an illegal factory in the american city was flooded out on the we gave you brains he said emergency work had rescued 10 people from the factory in the basement of a residential building the total number of work at the site was not immediately known. the democratic republic of congo has confirmed a nother outbreak of ebola in the country's east after a woman died in north kivu province the government say it has begun tracing

everyone who came into contact with the woman to try to eradicate the epidemic as soon as possible. dozens of supporters of opposition faith last month's all have clashed with police in the capital duck call off to a woman accuse the politician all 3 offices fired tear gas to disperse to demonstrate his so-called deny the allegations and accuse president barchi sol of trying to end his political career. now the guy you see behind me is not in his community as the spinach king that's because. it is on a mission to start a health revolution in south africa's townships using the leafy green vegetable tree and create schmidt's him in cape town. party time in the philippine township they're celebrating the opening of

a new spinach store and its founder has joined the festivities welcome to the spinach thing a whole foods bakery coughing up the process in company we make sure the veggies are not just eaten is the also the incorporated the daily step over here we've got this spinach infusion of smoothie right here before this finish can appear consist of local team in. 13 low in carbs knowing sugars no i even saw. 10 years ago and i'm john i started this business on the back over to you investment big finish bread in his neighbors of since then his dad an expanded supplying supermarkets and opening new branches. to the philippi branch is already his 5th store. the ingredients are

organic and grown locally like here in khayelitsha cape town's biggest challenge ship over there you see the railway station and right next to it's the spinach just grown and if we move over here to the other side this is where you see the 1st green bakery the 1st spanish king branch at the moment it is quite empty and that shows you that it's still a long way to go to change people's eating habits. the staple in south african cooking but smoothies or breads made from the leafy green are still seen as rather unusual. i think it's empty because of the influence because us over to see us as people in our commute to school in safety we don't criticise eating healthy like that so we still at that time so let me off easy because we know 1st of all we should go for rising all this. i'm trying to do and is bad for. the residents of the philippi township garbages more surely must listen into

a talk on the benefits and cultivation of say the. beginning yeah yeah i just hit the delete key so we need to consider how it is to once a week. because you don't know that we do this is our face time to if that's what's going to taste the food tastes so to dishes it can be like a game because if you needed to all meet i everything that's nice i mean i'm a shipper sound but that the slowed by steady had to taste it in the smooth especially this movie amazing amazing is also how the spanish king describes the future of his business and feels the demand for oil field production is growing globally. we are actually planning on the fusing brain she's all over the country and then also sending a lot of franchisees to contraries such as germany countries like france

countries in europe where we can. you know money all for the manufacturing rights as well as the distributorship rights all right now we have a franchise and. so that franchise in arms to dogs do work because we believe what you do is a problem that is not only assault african based but is that global issue of unhealthy eating every 2nd south african is overweight the spinach being once to help change that statistic for the better. and that is it for now at the stories on. forward slash africa we're also on facebook and on and as always interested to hear what you think about the stories on the program and the story said we should be so they believe you live pictures of every day in somalia. the political crisis could result in conflicts. i'm breaking out this sop to the country failed and election as had been a crazy scene it's time i had. everything

joe biden continued to focus tuesday on a $1.00 trillion dollars stimulus package and congress met tuesday with a group of u.s. business leaders to build support for the measures which include cash payments to u.s. residents and an increase in unemployment benefits his administration argues the spending will supercharge the u.s. economy and drive job creation and that the risk of inflation is low. well chris for thor burns a founding partner of beacon economics and he joins me from los angeles christopher welcome to the show we often hear this term an overheated economy can you explain what that means in relation to the stimulus package sure and overheat economy of course is that economy that for whatever reason there is so much cash moving into it that it tends to expand in ways that are simply not sustainable. and of course when that stimulus you necessarily come back to earth and that could be kind of a paper process

a classic example of an over stimulated economy was of course us from 2004 to about 2007 during that subprime bubble which still highly overheated the u.s. economy now we're talking about a very similar process although a slightly smaller scale with a phenomenal degree of fiscal intervention in the economy because for is the by the administration here not arguing for overheating the economy arguing that it could get us back to full unemployment a bit faster. yeah we see the problem is this the reason our khana me hasn't fully recovered is because we're still dealing with the corona virus in fact when you think about the 1st stimulus they had which was a couple trillion dollars you're already talking about a phenomenal degree of energy to get the economy up and running once we get control of the virus keep something in mind the vast majority of payments that have gone into the u.s. economy have been to businesses through these p.p.p.

loans and these direct events to individuals the problem is giving money to businesses who don't need it such as law firms who got it on a course giving it to people who don't need it because they kept their job their problem is they can't spend money has it had any impact on the short run indeed the phenomenal size of the 1st stimulus is not seen in our economy because most of it rep right through the household into the banking system last year u.s. households added about 1.8 trillion and it dition was savings knowingly coming out of the stimulus and overall bank deposits grew at about 2.5 trillion dollars which crisper quite seen before could some of that money not then be unleashed once covert is taken care of whatever that means and then stimulate the economy that way driving up jobs well that's a sit right we don't need another stimulus plan we just need to let the virus vaccinations get does under control and the money we already have in the system will get our economy rock'n'roll and quickly indeed there's already chance of

overheating from the 1st stimulus you put 2 trillion more into it and we're absolutely going to see an economy is going to rebound back but at what mid-term cost and let's remember this isn't free money this is one of the greatest intergenerational highs we've ever seen you see of course boomers gen x. years taking a phenomenal degree of this cash and leaving trillions and trillions of dollars in debt for the next generations all right chris for thornburg with beacon economics from los angeles thank you very much my pleasure. the one of the more controversial parts of the stimulus package legislation is an increase in the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour staged over several years now currently states determine minimum wages with many setting the floor at about half that rate not everyone is on board with the hike especially business owners reliance on low wage workers in a coal visited one such business in pennsylvania. meant to flinch boys on his way to one of his tool restaurants in harrisburg the hospitality industry is the

2nd largest in pennsylvania it employed more than half a 1000000 people before the pandemic coburg 19 and its safety restrictions put a lot of financial pressure on mat and now he also has to worry about new policies and the administration we are struggling to find employees because of the government just continues to hand out money instead of put people back to work i can't afford to pay my staff $15.00 an hour i can tell you that 90 percent of my staff will be let go if the federal minimum wage goes to $15.00. for covert ops to 85 people work from now it's down to 40. is one of them i think things are going to change because biden knows exactly what we are doing here we don't take anything away from anybody. my rio is married to julio he

came to the united states 14 years ago undocumented he was already working for mads when the authorities caught him. with it and even when i was in prison they helped me to get out and later they helped me with everything i needed to look at when it is. met isn't against immigration but there are limits because there's a ton of work right now. there americans don't want to let people have that opportunity to grow that american dream and get a job what's wrong with controlling who's coming in and out of our country the 2nd wall mexico's drug cartel is going to be aiming right for this pot to bring illegal drugs into our country immigrants are the backbone of many small businesses in the united states that immigration is still a very divisive topic and not everybody of mass customers shares his strong beliefs

we do not talk politics a lot of times people can't have a difference of opinion you can't have you know a conversation with anybody where you feel like you can say i disagree with his politics without it getting ugly i have tried to avoid it unfortunately. to go there with all those small business owners who keep fighting the policies of the new administration he is convinced biden bill destroying his future and the future of his employees. all right let's go to our financial correspondent in new york for more. this minimum wage provision it's a bit controversial the biden ministration wants full employment it says could this not actually work against that if employers are going to potentially can people. well i mean if you're a multibillion dollar company like wal-mart paying $15.00 an hour is probably not

a big problem but as we've heard small business owners say that might be a different story they were just a new study out from the congressional budget office and independent agency and they actually estimate that those higher wages would bring costs up and that could actually lead to job cuts the cvo estimates that about 1400000 jobs actually could get lost and well usually if you have higher cost so what do you do you increase prices so that actually also could be a drag on the already pretty high budget deficit that we see in the united states i had a brief discussion with my 13 year old son and he was claiming way well when you as a company can't afford to pay your workers $15.00 an hour maybe something is wrong with this your business plan but that's just the take of my 13 year old. what is the case for a minimum wage of $15.00 what is the official case case and well we we can

come back to the study of congressional budget office and they're saying that was the increase of the minimum paid actually wages might rise for up to $27000000.00 americans and about 900000 people could get out of poverty is still there would be crucial but i mean this. wage increase will not come overnight and it will probably also not be part of the 8 pickett's we're talking a volatile is probably going to be another negotiation further down the line before we really get an agreement possibly on the increase of the minimum wage. thank you. the other global business stories making headlines. german exports tumbled 9.3 percent in 2020 due to coronavirus trade disruptions that's according to new government data meanwhile new lockdown measures

arctic monkeys playing as well famous plays. but of course at the moment no one is playing here like all clubs in britain the cavern club is shuttered due to the pandemic it's not clear when beatles fans will be able to once again enjoy a concert by a fab 4 cover band for now they'll have to mark this important anniversary privately. i think you could mark that anniversary by dancing around the apartment for instance and scott roxboro joins me once again from vaughn to talk about the beatles' legacy heist. now 1st off we just heard about the cavern club there in liverpool but there's another spot here in germany that claims to be the birthplace of the beatles isn't there. yet of course humble or having the northern northern

city of germany that is where the river band the red light district the beatles 1st performed under that name the band 1st performed in $1060.00 in the summer of 1960 but it was in liverpool in the cavern club where they were actually discovered by a producer brian epstein and it's in liverpool in the cavern club where star 1st joined the band so. melees some claim to being where the beatles started i think we can say that it was liverpool and the cavern club that is where the beatles became the beatles ok so they went out now the beatles fans have a lot to look forward to this year as filmmaker peter jackson is finishing up a new documentary on the fab 4 tell us something about. yeah this documentary is called the beatles get back and it's peter jackson looking at the making of their last studio album let it be he got access to some like 56 hours of completely unseen footage his production on the film was

a bit delayed of course because of coded so he still editing the film but he put out some footage some sort of teaser footage so we can have a look at what he's working with and the footage what's amazing is just the like the looking at how they produced the album and then sort of jostling back and forth and throwing ideas back and forth in the studio and i think this film could be interesting because it could maybe do something to correct the myth that there was a lot of animosity among the beatles at the end. of their their life as a band at least from the footage in this film they look like they're having a great time the movie itself is set to come out this summer disney is supposed to bring it out in theaters hopefully and i really really can't wait. on that for days and it does look absolutely incredible stuff we've never seen before so it's interesting because the beatles broke up more than 50 years ago but why are people still so wild about them why are they so important and how would you describe their influence musically. yeah i think the beatles are just tremendously influential

they transformed pop music and are actually still continuing to influence pop music i mean you can look directly at bands that are almost completely directly inspired by them a band like away since the brit pop group which was almost a is almost a beatles cover band they so closely copied their sound but even their look and their style in the music that they did but you'll see the places you wouldn't normally expect and i mean take a band like nirvana a sort of a hard rock band from the sound you wouldn't expect that that's a lot there's a lot of beatles influence there but. the bandleader of nirvana said he based his songwriting very closely on that of paul and john. the psychedelic band the flaming lips a little while ago you know they did a remarks of sergeant pepper's album b. the baby dolls album so you see the influence of the beatles really continues to this day they basically revolutionized pop music it's amazing because you can almost say they're right up there with beethoven we could hardly imagine

rock'n'roll without them thanks very much scott for those insights and let's hear a little bit more of that revolutionary sound with some more from peter jackson's upcoming beatles documentary entitled get back. to. something completely different now and if you've ever walked into a famous cathedral and marveled at the stained glass windows open perhaps you'll have spared a thought for the work that goes into them stained glass like that has been enhancing the beauty of sacred spaces since the construction of gothic cathedrals back in medieval times and the craft today is of course much more high tech but no less painstaking and music studios stuff on take can attest to that.

for generations the munich studios stuff on technique has worked with glass here in munich the studio has been renowned for its stained glass church windows since 887 . 9 and designer cuts. took over operations in 2015 from a member of the founding fun take family. last year they received global acclaim for 3 windows they made for the chancel of tola abbey in western germany they were designed using motifs by famous german painter god krishna. nirvana we were invited to submit a bed for making new windows for tall i abbey one artist had already been picked the other was described only as an internationally known artist and when we got the commission we found out it was. at with us the studio was making 31 more windows

for the abbey based on designs by afghan artist. it takes an average of about one month to make one of the 9 metre told windows each depicts scenes from the bible some of the detailed windows have already been installed churches are the primary source of the munich studios commissions but it's works can also be found in secular settings as well such as this tiling in a munich subway station. cooperation with famous designers promises new business whether it's woven glass for lamps. or a table with a color fade. the 40 advantage and that is our broad group of customers in principle anyone can buy this for their whole lives that we can attract more

customers that way and experimenting. product and if it's successful then we'll have a product we can make in series. whether it's a design object or a church window the munich studios good stuff fun to show all the facets of colored glass. well finally with museums closed and people spending a lot more time at home it's certainly not surprising they get sick of staring at their own 4 walls day in and day out but what if you could just order up an artwork to spice things up much as you would call up a pizza delivery service or the art association invoice book germany decided to give that model a try. concern voiced lucas and go through on the phone to close call if you see to go you're taking telephone orders at least for auto wolfsburg 1st delivery service for the name is a play on a popular german takeout delivery company used in hoffman as head of the wolfsburg

auto association he has a passion for helping people get better acquainted with modern art which isn't easy at the moment. the school if it is it has can't come to us at the moment maybe it would be good if we brought the art to them and of course we were inspired by the strong to me by restaurants that set up new delivery services in the pandemic and we thought maybe we could do something similar the delivery service concept started off well. normally the author only sells a few pieces a year but so far this year they've already sold 12 on the day we visited that already been an order. this work by artist femi has just been sold. into should look there really is a range of different things on offer you know within the visual arts all different styles figurative and abstract but also objects graphic art photography i think

that's something for everyone. to go feed on this if you divorce to buy. affordable prices ranging from $50.00 to $500.00 euros a meant to what people's appetites for. the arts association office some 200 works to choose from and the delivery service is available to buyers in and around the central german cities of wolfsburg and braunschweig. the boss himself personally brings the freshly packed with no delivery fees. and also members can get special editions by artists at a discounted price it's a way for people to have a little taste of art until germany's museums reopen and they can get their fill.

just imagine calling out for a picasso for a little change of scenery well that brings us to the end of this edition of arts and culture so until it's time all the best from when trigger lent shoes.
