this is the w. news live from berlin prosecutors complete their case in the 2nd impeachment trial against donald trump they say senators should impeach trump all the violent scenes from the u.s. capitol could happen again. also coming up south africa's president says millions of vaccine doses on the way to fight the country's highly contagious 19 barracked. via munich pull off the feat that's only been done once in football history 6 major titles in 12 months including the world club championships.

i'm going to have come to the program prosecutors have wrapped up their case in the 2nd impeachment trial against donald trump they urge senators to convict the former president for inciting the violent mall that stormed the capitol building on january 6th the prosecutors say convicted trump is necessary to ensure something similar happen again later today trump's defense team will present its side of the story. so that the jurors a timely end to the day's hearings on the 3rd day of the impeachment trial of donald trump prosecutors made their closing pitch without using up their allotted speaking time of 16 hours. i wanted to start simply by saying

that in the history of humanity democracies an extremely rare and fragile and precarious and transitory thing this wasn't just an attack on the capitol building and the dedicated people inside it was an attack on what we were elected to preserve our democracy. for you. the prosecution made heavy use of video footage of the january 6th riots to prove that the former president had incited the violent insurrection. impeachment is not to punish but to prevent we are not here to punish donald trump we are here to prevent the seeds of hatred that he planted from bury any more fruit republican lawmakers who are quick to dismiss the arguments but you think that the argument that. i thought they were awfully repetitive.

trump's defense team will make its case on friday the way to a final vote is expected this weekend that 2 thirds majority is needed to impeach meaning 17 republican senators have to cross the aisle you know they have in the. u.s. politics. william prosecutors wrapped up their case how exactly they tried to make that link between donald trump was on the insurrection that followed. good morning right we saw that these last 3 days democratic prosecutors the house managers showing a litany of dollar terms tweets and his speeches not just from january 6th in the days around that not even really from the entire election period in which he he spent repeatedly summing doubt into the validity of an election that everybody else was saying was perfectly fine but really his entire term in office the way he's

treated in spoken about people he sees as the other violence that he suggests against other people or ways to just you know knock him down and when it comes to the january 6th riots telling his his supporters repeatedly to fight like hell that the january 6 rally at the capitol was going to be a while he said and then comparing that to how many of the rioters themselves said that they heard the president's words as an invitation and that we see increase on video material see that in criminal complaints of the evidence that the f.b.i. and law enforcement officials are gathering against some of the actual rioters so that was putting those 2 things together is how democrats of the last few days are trying to make their case today. this will have that time in the trial what can we expect to hear from the defense. we can expect to hear what democrats were already trying to preempt in their final day of arguments yesterday so today we're going to hear basically a free speech rule that donald trump has the right to free speech that he wasn't

given fair due process the impeachment was rushed rushed and also because out of office they're still going to try to push this unconstitutional aspect even though it has been made constitutional by the senate they voted for that her happiness trial and constitutional scholars. many of them all around the united states of different sides of the aisle are saying this is constitutional and there is historical precedent for trying a president after he's left office but much like the democrats wrapped up their arguments fairly quickly today it seems like the trump defense would be fairly quick with its arguments yesterday would be quick with their arguments today. and what have you you said this when we discussed this yesterday that is widely expect that trump will not be convicted in the end because not enough republican senators will vote against the current member of the parties so why go through this process and it's a question not only for this week but a question also that was asked in the 1st impeachment what's the point we know what

the conclusion is going to be democrats of course want to get this on the record just impeaching the president alone is already a statement is already something that will go down in history as a negative mark idolatry to remember him by and it forces republicans to go on the record on where they stand about against violence against the united states and against really themselves so while the ultimate victory for democrats might not happen the historical record is still such still has some kind of value so it will improve you. some of the other stories making headlines around the world members of italy's populist 5 star movement voted to support a government of national unity on the mario draghi the move clears the way for the ex european bank chief to become its elise next prime minister. china's broadcasting regulator says it has banned b.b.c. world news saying it violated guidelines by airing
