experienced by the jurors themselves and as the trial began yesterday prosecutors revealed never before seen disturbing video of the storming of the u.s. capitol the senators watched connected images on the screen and in their collective memory the president's attorneys then delivered what republican senators later described as a poor performance there were no tweet tirade from former president trump but he was reportedly so outraged that he shouted at the t.v. i'm burnt off berlin this is the day. i mean let's understand why we are really here we cannot have presidents inciting and mobilizing mob violence against our government and our institutions gray davis charges ever brought against

a president of the united states we are really here because the majority in the house of representatives does not want to face doll trump as a political rival in the future this is about our constitution and accusing the pietschmann power for political gain president trump must stand trial for his high crimes and misdemeanors against the american people. also coming up the vaccination rollout stagnation here in the european union today from the european commission president fund a lion and admission of the state but no. the battle against the virus is a marathon not a sprint it needs foresight and your insight and stop me no. almost every day we shared news of different variants and how contagious they are.

and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of your around the world welcome we begin the day with must see t.v. otherwise known as the 2nd impeachment trial of former u.s. president donald trump the number of people watching the trial today is expected to increase significantly and that has everything to do with what prosecutors presented as evidence yesterday and what they teased for today after his opening statement on tuesday the leading prosecutor representative jamie raskin played a 13 minute video that was a simple as a timeline from january 6th soundbite from the former president his tweets and video from his supporters ransacking the u.s. capitol it also included never before seen gut wrenching videos of the violence that took place tonight we want to show you that video the segments with extreme profanity have been removed nevertheless a warning some of you may find these images disturbing was.

was. there was this. was was. was was was the work of was. the. was. the the.

senators the president was impeached by the u.s. house of representatives on january 13th for doing that or from that point is where house managers including jamie raskin plan to continue laying out their case on this 2nd day of the trial there will be more evidence including more graphic video take a listen to what raskin said earlier today the evidence will be for you to see and hear indicts yes the evidence will show you that x. president trump was no innocent bystander devan it's will show that he clearly incited the january 6th insurrection. it will show that donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the inciter in chief of

a dangerous insurrection and this was as one of our colleagues put it so cogently on january 6th itself the greatest betrayal of the presidential oath in the history of the united states strong words there as the 2nd impeachment trial of donald trump moves forward i'm happy to have nick akerman with us tonight mr ackerman was a prosecutor during the watergate hearings that preceded the resignation of president richard nixon in 1904 mr ackerman is in new york city tonight it's going to have you back on the program mr ackerman the world remembers those secret audio recordings from the nixon oval office those tapes were a game changer in the watergate scandal could the videos of the storming of the capitol could they be a similar game changer in this impeachment trial. well i guess we'll have to see because some of these are pretty powerful there's

a number of tapes that we have not seen yet they're going to be playing tapes that the public hasn't seen a much of the coverage on this is really been what people saw from the outside as opposed to the inside and some of these inside tapes are pretty powerful as we saw yesterday so i think it really depends and it's not quite the same because it's not like donald trump is at the. capitol actually participating in the armed insurrection i.e. certainly is charged with the moment thing it and inciting it. it makes it was a little bit different situation where you had a smoking gun tape were ordered his aides to contact the cia ordering them to call the f.b.i. and tell them to stop the investigation into the watergate burglary that particular tape basically got a number of republican senators into action and wound up with

a group of them are led by barry goldwater and going to the white house and talking to resign. so that was a different situation but i really think it depends on how the evidence comes out in the next couple days you know what did you think of the president's lawyers and their presentation yesterday. pretty terrible part of the problem is when you're a trial lawyer and you're putting on a chase whether it's an impeachment case or whether it's a criminal case or civil case you always have to have some kind of the theory behind the case and story to tell an even more they just didn't have it i mean it was the main lawyer for donald trump who got up there and started talking i mean it kind of reminded me of a guy that yes that party before a wedding that was drunk and just went from one topic to another topic to this topic and there wasn't really a coherent story or a coherent defense that delinquency get or doing i mean the only defense that

donald trump possibly has here is that he didn't mean he didn't intend to incite people to write that's his only defense and there's a lot of other facts that undercut that but you would at least think that they would be directing their defense to that intent but they didn't which i found absolutely amazing i mean it just dragged darn it was rambling and it was incoherent you know that i would have hired either of those people to represent me in a park won't will what did their poor performance what does it tell you about what republicans expect to come out of this trial i mean if it's a bad bachelor party are they expecting an easy wedding. i don't think it's going to be any you see wedding i mean look at there may not be a conviction because there are certain number of these senators i think the have to they have to back donald trump because they're up for election in 2 years and

they're concerned that if they vote for conviction they're going to basically be giving away part of the republican base that they need to so the democrats are going to be out for those seats big time and if you don't have a certain of this trial number of republican votes going into a general election like that you might as well get out before you start and i think that's the way these republicans a lot of these republican senators are doing the situation even though this is close to the york enormous trial it's not it's political in the sense that these senators are very sensitive to what their constituents are saying and the converse of that is it before the case that is put on by the teacher is so compelling does bring public opinion around that could have an impact that could lead to conviction but right now it doesn't look like that's going to happen one republican senator changed his mind yesterday and voted yes on the constitutionality question i want

you to take a listen to what senator bill cassidy said about the performance of the house prosecutors versus the president's attorneys take a listen i said i've been impartial juror and you will listening to those arguments the house managers were focused they want more denies they relied upon both precedent the constitution and legal scholars they made a compelling argument present terms teen were disorganized they did everything they could but to talk about the question at hand so resolve one senator really to change his mind there now when you factor in the fact that the polls show a majority of americans say that they favor convicting the former president if republicans acquit donald trump what will that do to the legitimacy of the impeachment process. well done keep in mind there has never been a president who's actually has been impeached and then also convicted there is

always been the tendency to have the president's party hang in there getting a 2 thirds vote for conviction is very difficult and certainly with the nixon situation that would have happened that's right he resigned mary but what that means politically going forward 'd i don't think there's any rate of progress to kate on that right now but i think it's you know it could turn out that these republicans who do not vote to convict find themselves in political hot water come 2 years from now and you mentioned barry goldwater you remember the role that republicans played and richard nixon's resignation compare that to the g.o.p. that we have sitting in the u.s. senate today. well it's completely different i mean part of the problem here is that not everybody gets their news from the same source like we did back in 1994 when everybody was around the television set when walter cronkite gave us our news

now you've got fox news you've got other right wing media that basically are spewing out facts or just faults world of alternate facts and so you've got a huge part of our population that is believing in these alternate facts mainly that donald trump really won the election and that there was widespread like ssion fraud even those 60 u.s. courts including judges that reported by donald trump found that there was no evidence lection fraud so then is a big difference between back then and now which makes it a lot more difficult working off the same set of facts yet well said definitely agree with that nick ackerman former prosecutor in the watergate hearings mr ackerman it's good to see you it's good to get your valuable insights tonight thank you it was great to be here thank you.

our next story is in one area where once again it is possible to dream of going to the u.s. the biden administration has reversed a travel ban imposed by former president donald trump under that ban citizens were prohibited from applying for permanent immigrant visas to the u.s. travel between nigeria and the u.s. became almost impossible. i will say i do need he has just moved to the quiet town of arbil in southwest nigeria he says life in the city of lagos. things that easy here he has begun dreams he wants to move to america with his family. despite having a ready to use who are already u.s. citizens he made his visa application has been deemed night twice. i was nervous that i'm going to. i think i got

a slip into depression to refer because we didn't quite believe it blames his 2nd visit rejection on president. the ban prevented nigerians from getting any visa that could lead to permanent residency or citizenship he says now being overturned by president writing. many thanks to. the us. but this may give all schools who are already resident in united states never mentioned and their. children need this new on the street she gives them a better deal is determined to try again this year he says moving to america could change his family's fortune there's a level playing field. for somebody who knows what they're doing who wants to achieve greatness obviously this country has been toward you know

i don't want the same for my child. i don't and. i'll give anything it takes. anything. continues to keep close contact with his family in the u.s. on see if he can finally be reunited reach them. if europeans were waiting for a mayor culpa today from the european commission president they were disappointed ursula found a lion today defended the overall e.u. vaccination strategy and she did admit that the european union was late in authorizing the use of vaccines against kobe 19 the 27 members of the e.u. continue to lag behind the u.s. in the u.k. in vaccinating citizens reasons include a longer approval process for new vaccines as well as waiting too long to pre-board

or supply. one to know this is an attack it's is also a fact that today in the fight against the virus we are still not where we want to be if i am so we went late to authorize the vaccines we were too optimistic when it came to mass production and perhaps we were too confident that what we wanted would actually be delivered on time if we need to ask ourselves why this is the case and what lessons we can draw from this experience you know what lessons can we draw to talk about that let's go to brussels now bring in our correspondent not just good evening to you georg ursula fun to lie and she did she didn't take responsibility for the vaccination problems is she not alternately responsible as european commission president. traditionally brand health issues remain in the hands of member states you see the member state is the one who is driving the european vehicle if you want and particularly weak when it comes to

health issues so in this case the european commission for the 1st time in history if you want was dealing with such a huge health issue buying vaccines for 27 men to restate for 450000000 people it was the biggest deal they have done regarding any sector but it particularly with health this was a 1st and if you ask european officials here they are sick and tired of finger pointing and witch hunting they say we've actually done a pretty good job when that's that's not what the public perceives i mean we hear all the time people asking why are the banks nations so slow here if it's and if it's an issue for the nation states then would be for be have to point the finger at berlin and paris for example. brendan this is a question of perception of course because why is the perception that we are so

slow because others are faster and if you look at the u.k. for instance there if there's a simple answer to or there's 2 simple answers let's put it this way why the u.k. is faster the u.k. is faster because they did an emergency approval rather than conditional authorization approval for it for this particular vaccine so they hadn't had start and you can debate whether you would want that or not but it was a conscious decision to be slower and in that case also to ensure that there is confidence in the public and also liability on the part of the companies if you backs in a healthy people so that is a is a big factor and then you have another factor and that is that the u.k. is only vaccinating the 1st doses so they're firing away everything they have regardless of the advice that it would take 3 weeks for the 2nd dose and so that is also a question that is consciously been taking the e.u. all 27 member states have said we want to vaccinate the 2nd dose after 3 weeks and

if you look at those numbers actually the e.u. is ahead of the u.k. and it's not the u.k.'s 1st do you think there is a sense of regret among e.u. leaders that they didn't try they didn't use this emergency authorization used to get the vaccine sooner. i think there is that is partially true but there's another fields that you could look into which which could have been better and that is part of the lessons launch of what from the one referred to which is capacity building so more money could have been put into that field however having said that the e.u. actually put billions of euros into. a capacity building in other words into into factories that were built for vaccines that didn't exist yet and so i can tell you i think i know how this process works i've covered it for many years had those vaccines not come out as functional at the moment we have 3 in the 2nd quarter

we're bound to have 5 vaccines for all of europe to be approved to to be approved yet but let's imagine 4 out of those 5 would have not worked and the you had wasted billions in capacity building in factories that never produced a vaccine and we would have exactly the same blame game going on you know that's a that's a very good point you've also covered brecht's it and this vaccination roll well slow show in the e.u. and it's being called the best advertising imaginable for the brics is there a sense in brussels that the e.u. has failed the people at a time when sell your should not have been an option. that's quite interesting brand because that is where all 27 member states are on the same page in saying it was the right thing to buy together because look if we had individually approached companies and that is also by the way what i hear from lobbyists in brussels they are grateful that 27 member states came together and not

fighting each other for the best vaccine deal to be had and that is also explaining why the e.u. is paying so little money for comparatively for the vaccines and of course as a single member state there are some things where you're better off that's what everybody understands clearly germany would have come 1st with more purchasing power with a better brucker see with a much bigger state and more money to be put on the table so that also explains why a single state can be fossil than $27.00 but at the end of the day in the pandemic what does it help if you have vaccinated your population and next door let's say romania is a hotspot for the virus and it's really imported into europe which goes at the end of the day the secret of europe of its purchasing power and money and and success is the open market the open borders if you have to close them because your neighbor

is is a virus better than you're running into huge problems and finally get your is there anything in your opinion that the european union can learn from the banks you that we have seen in the u.k. in the u.s. . absolutely i think there's there's a number of elements that can be adapted and that should be adapted at this point and that is hopefully part of one foot from the eye and said lessons learned for instance the u.k. is preparing once there is enough vaccine to out run a 247 vaccination scheme and it is the now is the time for the 2nd quarter to build up those capacities to vaccinate as fast as you can once the vaccines are available all right give mathis excellent analysis of a story that everyone is talking about here in europe york thank you.

make up your mind. to double. the digital world is the big winner in this pandemic watching from home online shopping education live streaming the internet is growing stronger lockdowns of forced firms into digitizing and it's giving us newfound freedoms like flexible work and the chance to keep in contact with family and friends on a different level. but it all comes at

a price the 2 faces of digitalisation topic today are made well it's game over for a number of top level e sports professionals the so-called athletes have hit on an incredibly lucrative business opportunity over the past few years which we've reported on before but this young stars have also found out all those hours in front of a screen and the global pressures of the entertainment sector can become a health hazard. reports. streaming is fun is becoming a go to activity to relax and socialize how to skate from the pressures of everyday life. this is me hanging out with some friends there's no way any of us could make it to the professional level what's jump again at x. but for a growing number of people playing video games is providing a golden ticket to feign and legions of fans. he sports has moved into

a $1000000000.00 industry tempting young gamers all around the world to pursue a shot at the big time but what price when you look at the stats of today's professional players the average retirement age is between just 23 and 25 years old . physical and mental burnout is a growing problem for professional sports players it's not something that's widely acknowledged within the industry players are finally starting to speak out and calls the changes. all of. better known as all of. you already know he is born in sweden playing professionally since the age of 20 he's a gaming legend widely regarded as one of the best counterstrike global offensive players in history back in 2015 he helped power his former team fanatic to world number one and was awarded the title of most valuable player. well and i've been

gaming my whole life of course i loved it but there was also some kind of escape you could just. escape in another world and you don't have to think about anything else but just the game and i think that's something that i really enjoyed but following a wrist injury in 2016 the pressures of real life and a grueling competition schedule started to become overwhelming and everything now is just a lot figure a missile a 4th or a months a lot more pressure like normally when it's not corona we were with travel oak ridge travel like 2 on a plus days a year if not more and it's kind of stressful for your mind because you always have something where you have to perform and one of the times for some. people analyzing what you did wrong and everybody has so many opinions in 2017 he took a short leave of absence g. to personal reasons i just couldn't sleep that good i was just thinking about the game 20 $47.00 and like being stressed almost every day all times part of came back

refreshed but then in may of 2020 shocking his fans he announced in a tweet that he would be taking an extended break from professional gaming due to fatigue strain on his mental health and lack of motivation to compete it's so hard because if you see a team playing 8 hours a day that are better than you do you want to play 9 hours a day because you want to be the right stuff and it just keeps going like that then you have like 12 hours practice plus like 5 hours individually and you keep doing that for every day i don't think it can be good for you with the color of a pandemic adding even more pressure to train around the clock a number of the best players in east for to or announce career breaks this year citing burnout and stress. medical professionals in the gaming industry have been concerned for years about the health impacts of overtraining sleep deprivation and players taking unregulated energy supplements we're seeing so much burnout we

unfortunately had a couple deaths in the community this year people need to be addressing the mental health people and to be addressing the physical health of these athletes or or were seen repercussions are any a lot of the reasons are we're pushing these gamers well beyond how far we should be pushing anyone let alone an 18 year old kid and we're not giving them the correct support you know gaming is a pastime in sports as a career and with so much money at stake professional gaining teams like excel e sports starting to make more holistic changes to safeguard the health of the players we're doing blood tests we're having nutrition companies supporting us you know working out we're focusing on sleep was the trick of say using in the n.b.a. my name is head of performance all my status and it's really quite surreal that i have to tell the players to play less if people have a bird or have issues they're just getting replaced and in my point of view

organization is responsible or mainly responsible by is this effort has this large started a growing number of top the sports teams starting to build support for their players health into that contract providing team houses and personal chefs fitness and performance coaches physios and mental health training but industry wide and for smaller teams don't have many official regulations that are actively safeguarding professional players and they are sleeping too that they're having not a structure at all they go to bed at 3 at 5 pm they are not having enough sunlight they're looking at right i'm in deep they normally don't have a cook so the nutrition is really bad in football for example will be off to a kid. we have coaches and so on any sports there's no coaching no sense yet and the end it's nice to be successful not a lot of money but it's a really really disgusting when

a person is $25.00 or 30 and has to stop what they are doing because it's really unhealthy for them and they have lifetime issues with. one of my state is now back playing professionally again with his team face plan but the road to recovery has been a challenging one i've been working out a lot more and tried to eat a lot more health think that helps me there are a lot more players are a lot more stress than they would like to admit to the public without people saying anything to schedule your spirit a sane man learned it's not good for people self useful it is still a very new industry but as the tournament's in the prize money get bigger protecting young professionals from physical and mental burnout is going to become an important challenge. the pandemic has bankrupted countless businesses and continues to do so millions are out of work but then you hear the experts saying that there's no better time to start your own business than

in a crisis you have to learn how to scrimp and save when financing dries up you have to find customers when there's no demand and you need a really good idea. last year i met the founder of a tiny startup in spain that's created an eco friendly healthy and affordable beacon state from a 3 d. printer a year on the company continues to grow and continues to wow the skeptics even tastes pretty good to tell you the truth. well well my colleague to sound bites on the bus of the biotech for some tips on how to develop a successful stop. people felt there was a very good beginning we have you heard there be prepared plan based big. i'm definitely going to see theo and found out what i mean which is a tech start up in barcelona working on the future of basic needs here is my advice for you it's all been pulled back. for the

best your idea your perfect need good effect will keep your picture of what your balance i come from a tie or the 50. 5 you nearing the flick i've been working all my life by maybe. building organs for human rights all for biomedical purposes so the beginning i want it to be secure never at the top of the war but we created a new technology and want to create a new place knowledge if you want to find the feedback from the safety in my case for example i went to betty checked if this was a crazy idea or eat beef. and one 3rd very interesting or many people would set up a period tell you that because nothing then you have. to drive if you go for. very important think that buying that sector i would be the fall that 3rd probably the very good product that

we need to find the best way to bring the public market so you can find the right 550 and the right that at most for example up be to be between feeding people with meat for example in our faith that direct plant or cooking retail and here you are not thinking without the right people that but i believe the market because you have never thought about the very 1st day things. it's not a complicated and who even in the face that says something doesn't go well then bible meeting that you can take another direction and here we are. it is very hard to find better talented people so you one more time and that is not important because it seems to manage to stay with you for a long time so you don't want just to. come there tired and online and look for the people to come for you you really sometimes want to be the right people so going to

find the right people at the right places and i mean it physically we have to see him when he is the 2nd logical the recall of the performance and then we have to be interested which we called back in the performance the. people that got to talk with some technology the business amy talk was done the people that invest in the client the partner. you want to find the right thing but my own started you was to look for b.b.b. to be on the media so that you would contact me if they say we are interested in what you are believe we should spoke about it and i feel that if you don't feel that your county europe for example for me but that is being paid already you cannot find the right one better than the problem you have now or do you have guys are going to people from all over the ward investing in your company.

the next step is to scale meaning that especially in our case where we have a very strong mission a very strong vision which we want to create a sustainable future. well you need to scale up to bring. leaders about advances international so the next step is to raise more money bring the steps 2000 stuff below the production fit our and allow our whole. to be a babe in the boat all over the ward the next 5 to 10 years i hope that by 5 or so many vision as you're starting your business there. good tips for business there but how about some tips in organizing our daily lives in the pandemic social distancing to avoid the coronaviruses change so many things paradoxically resulted in better health fuel communicable diseases like colds and flu but everyone gets sick some time out to visit the doctor in times of limited access your medical

consultation online. took a look at the growing field of tele medicine she started by booking a virtual appointment herself. i need to see a dermatologist at short notice. the next available appointment is in 4 months time . but then i discover a dr offering online consultation. after entering a few personal details on her website i find myself talking to her just a few minutes later. and that. yes i think outside my hands have been really really dry for quite a long time now and they each a bit to. washing their hands more frequently might have impaired your skin is natural protective barrier this can lead to a kind of eczema so the 1st thing you need to do is apply hand cream a lot more often. than the on line consultation costs 30 euros i consider

that a price worth paying if i had a problem i was concerned about as i get help quickly and easily. in many cases we can look at the patient to make an assessment based on the severity and extent of the problem and then also determine the degree of urgency of course that's no substitute for personal contact you still need doctor's surgery for physical checking all for certain technical equipment needed for a more precise diagnosis. yet. the video consultation serves as a preliminary finding for diseases where a visual cheap. by that doctor is enough this form of tell medical treatment has only been permitted in germany since 2019. in the coronavirus era patients are happy for the opportunity to save time and avoid the risk of infection and demand to soar. like so many other areas of life medical care is now

also becoming digitalized. people with chronic conditions can for example have their blood pressure monitored remotely by staff at a clinic. next i talked to a health care management expert fill the unkind thing that says patients in germany have become increasingly receptive to the concept of telemedicine this has led to greater willingness among investors to provide funding that enables young companies to acquire new technologies caught in the us i can get a lot of firms in germany of insufficient funding. that's especially the case with startups but that's no changing in some areas we're seeing many parts of the health sector getting a lot more capital. than able to catch up with the u.s. for example our companies now have a better so.
