every 6 k. said he summoned the crowd to washington and did nothing to stop the rioting even as a played out on television. this is about protecting our republic and articulating in defining the standards of presidential com dot and if you want this to be a standard for totally appropriate presidential conduct going forward be my guest but we're headed for a very different kind of country at that point mr president the democrats are likely to gain a conviction as few republican senators have come out against trump who remains popular among republican voters. both parties are a get to move to a final vote which could come as soon as saturday. but all signs point to it ending as a partisan draw a 2nd acquittal for donald trump. for more i'm joined by detail the reporter william glue cost william good to see you after their opening arguments

some days ago trump's defense team was widely criticized by fellow republicans what's been the reaction to their arguments yesterday. that's a really good point you make michael it's important to see yesterday's very fiery very muscular defense of donald trump albeit short just 3 hours of the a lot of 16 hours in the context of their opening more or the arguments they made during the constitutionality question just a few days ago which was roundly lambasted for being weak and me enduring even terrible perplexing not just from democrats but republicans themselves donald trump was reported to have been outraged by that 1st show a few days ago it was all guns blazing coming out yesterday and also to remember that there's been a lot of shake ups due to that perceived weakness originally as a lot of shake ups in the trump legal team which may have had an effect on planning on organization and on of the arguments they were going to use and for even for

republicans it fell short of one of their key concerns which was how much did donald trump know about the threat to michael mike pence his life the vice president his vice president as donald trump was criticizing mike pence for his so-called weakness on the electoral college process how did defense arguments compared to the prosecution's. well the prosecution the house democrats the managers they laid out a long and detailed list of of instances that donna used to egg on his supporters including of course the denial of reality that you lost the election for not just on january 6th the day of the attack itself but his lack of his absence in responding to it is a ignoring of republicans pleading with him to to call the mobs back his supporters back off the capital and weeks leading up to it in the election process and really his entire term in office whereas his defenders yesterday only focus on january 6th

that fight like hell speech that's the only thing they focused on but of course the the impeachment article is much broader than that and the trump defense didn't address any of those extra points instead referred to it what about his own case drawing a false equivalency between donald trump's words and actions and other intense rhetoric from politicians at other times and in other contexts that were not apples to apples. william thank you so much former european central bank chief druggy has been sworn in as the new prime minister of italy the 73 year old economists will had a new national unity government his cabinet includes both outside experts and season politicians the effects of the pandemic have sparked a deep recession in italy doggy is credited with saving europe's single currency following the global economic crisis of 2008 he was asked to take over the helm by

italy's president after outgoing prime minister. collapsed. journalist seem a good to has been following the new government's formation in rome she described mario drug use choices for ministers. well after all the infighting in wrangling he really has created this broad parliamentary majority and it's seen in his cabinet you've got 15 out of the 23 polls that have been set up that have gone to political figures across the political spectrum whether it's the center left the center right the far right or the 5 star movement which is the largest party in parliament on top of that he's given he positions to technocrats that is the economy minister is member from the bank of italy direct to general then you have the new position of

an ecological or green transition ministry that go into a physicist on top of that the digital transition ministry as well as the infrastructure and transport ministry he pulls all going to technocrats executives that have very well respected india fields so clearly those are some of the issues he wants to focus in that sit though the health minister is the same one that it was in the previous government so clearly looking for continuity on that very key ministry as it is he is dealing with a pandemic. the un's top human rights body has passed a resolution urging mariners military to immediately release on sunset cheney and other civilian government leaders detained after the coup earlier this month pressure on the military is also growing within marron maher for a large crowds have been taking to the streets nationwide and demanding the restoration of civilian rule. the hours of darkness

are dangerous time and me and maher. stories of the military kidnapping people at night are circulating on social media. and yet the will to keep up the fight appears unbroken. for the 8th day in a row demonstrators took to the streets to call for democracy to be reinstated. and now they have been given backing by the un's top human rights body the human rights council passed a unanimous resolution urging me and mars' military to release aung san suu kyi and other civilian government leaders. our office is tracking more than 350 political and state officials activists and civil society members including journalists monks and students who have been taken into custody several face

criminal charges on dubious grounds some remain missing with no information as to their whereabouts or wellbeing. the military's crackdown on dissent is getting harsher by the day. the red cross said 3 people were wounded on friday when police fired rubber bullets in the southeastern city of mommy and. arrested protesters gave the 3 fingered salute of the opposition in defiance. meanwhile the military regime began releasing more than $23000.00 prisoners as part of a mass clearing of the country's jails. though the military has presented this as a sign of goodwill the opposition fears the regime could just be making room for many new arrests. let's get the latest from hours on need he is the

co-founder of forces of renewal southeast asia a network of scholars and activists that support democratic struggles across national borders he is from miramar and lives in london where he joins us from now welcome to d w what do you know about the night time kidnapping of opponents of the military. well that has become a major trend there's massive and didn't you know bloated on on social media platforms and i've called friends who send me in my chat box you know like a 32nd 42nd clips over the security forces you know beating up people under the cover of night or greeting you know houses or people look down town but dissipated in civil disobedience movement so it's true it's actually kidnapping is the only one of many techniques the military is using date anti the jail yesterday as it were good will gesture and criminal convicts passed genocidal

organizers they were among those really nice and a couple of video that i received indicate that the some of the. freshly released to even meet me had been given actresses of dissidents where they go and ransacked that people who had the military is trying to avoid you know the being seen as to rightly cracking down on your nationwide protest movement so they are out solo's in shows and let me repeat state terror through different civilian outfits and takes criminal convicts and others so i take it to put it mildly you do not buy what the military is selling that is that the release of those prisoners was seen it should be seen as some sort of goodwill gesture. not to no not at all because that they have done this in 1988 and other

previous waves of a mosque uprising and you know i grew up there i lived there for 25 years and witnessed what happened in you know in the previous you know rising as a kid as a youngster when they emptied the jails you know that the jails are ready to receive new. dissidents by the thousands and you know and you know basically just about every village town and a neighborhood is revolting against what they see as the assault on popular will live in even a limited democratic government not put back under the military boot that lost it you know that has lasted at least 54550 years manzoni there speaking to me earlier from london. to going to sleep the football now and 2nd place leipsic

hosted outspread friday evening leipzig had a chance to move within 4 points of league leading byron with a win but as and they managed it with a bit of controversy in bone chilling temperatures. there were few places colder in a bundled up germany than leipsic minus 10 degrees celsius before kickoff with the temperature falling but there was controversy to heat things up for visiting augsburg goalkeeper rafal geeky pitch saved the penalty kick but was told by the video assistant referee he moved ahead of the goal line before he was allowed to do over 'd and let 6 dannielle know was given a 2nd try he found the net it was one mil. usef paulsen selfless pass just before the half helped make it to now holes and made it easy for christopher and cuckoo to tap the ball into an empty net and penalty made it 21 in the 2nd half leading leipsic to pray in the dying seconds of the match this corner

kick stayed out of the net. it did leipsic with a hard fought win but don't expect briggs goalkeeper geeky bitch to forget it any time soon. leipzig next set their sights on a champions league date next week against liverpool. you're watching news from berlin talk film is next. my 1st my state of mosul sewing machine. i come from women are bound by this ocean for. something as simple as learning how to write a bicycle isn't. since i was a little girl i wanted to have a bicycle of my home and it took me as them and. finally they gave up and went on buying yes i said this and returned with the sewing machine sewing i suppose was more apropos. more girls than writing about it as now i want to reach out to those

woman back home who are bound by their duties and social norms and inform them about the basic rights my name is developing home and i wore adds to. this week on world stories. immigrants in the u.s. are counting on biden women in moscow are driving metros again but we begin in northwestern syria where tens of thousands of refugees are living in camps in edgeley they may have escaped civil war but they still haven't found safety. a bartender frame standing among charred to ruins the reminder of the horrible

night 4 weeks ago when up to that game lost his 10 year old daughter. in the bitter cold his 10 neighbors were trying to light a hole met furnace when the entire tent went up in flames. little fires spread very quickly there were huge flames and a motorcycle and some fuel exploded all the tents caught fire my wife and children were trapped inside only 5 made it out of the homes of. their youngest daughter also suffered severe burns and the aid organization brought the one year old to turkey for medical treatment doctors have sent messages and videos but the family's not allowed to visit. the border with turkey is closed to syrian refugees the mother fatima can barely stand it.

i hope so much that you come back healthy but i saw the fire i fear the worst levels the. tragedies like these happen frequently in the makeshift camps in the northern eclipse tens of thousands of people are living here in miserable conditions even basic necessities latrines food heating fuel and medical care. constant heavy rain has now made the situation worse people here were cut off from all supplies for days many tents were destroyed age organisations have been doing their best but are totally overwhelmed the situation is made even worse by the rampant coronavirus the infection rate in the province has risen dramatically. following the of the. we've done what we can and together with other aid organisations and the white helmets we've tried to raise awareness about the coronavirus we've handed out masks and disinfectant but given the desperate

situation it's not enough. of them. have to fight half family are simply glad that the aid organisation has given them a new tent some clothing and even a new furnace but they hardly use it despite the cold they have no money for fuel and they are terrified of using it anyway. because then they have enough to lose my children and i have a psychological problem in the tent we are afraid to light the furnace when my husband isn't here so our children panic and start screaming when they see fire it's very very hard for us to say. when they fled the fighting and their rates up the fatah thought they would only be here for a few days but now it's been 14 months and they are too afraid to go back home to southern eclipse because the fighting raid.

around 11000000 undocumented immigrants live in the usa during the trump era they lived in fear of deportation president biden has promised a path to citizenship but many are still worried. that is what brings them together even on a cold day and meet the band. it's the 4th anniversary of the muslim travel ban imposed by former president donald trump and now revoked by one of president biden's 1st executive orders. and so from the get go should it not have ever been made it's rooted in divisiveness fear mongering in haiti and the fact that it separated so many families for so long as it's cruel and it's going to be raised i'm here in support and all of us meaning that we're demanding to the white house and congress president biden we need justice for everybody. citizenship for all

11000000 undocumented immigrants and to all deportations and detentions. from believe to the united states with her 2 sons 20 years ago and hasn't been home since her sons know no other country than their own the united states they were granted legal status by the dream act but they still don't tap a u.s. citizenship so. it's hard to be an immigrant here it's painful it's sad it's hard work you have to fight a lot. she arrived with a tourist visa and never left undocumented immigrants like ingrid a contraflow 5 percent of the workforce in the united states they are part of the backbone of the economy taking houses offices hospitals and doing the domestic work for many american families. because of the pandemic ingrid tough. lost her main source of income now she's also lost her home because she can't pay the rent

anymore but she says what hurts most is not to be able to visit her family either most of it is difficult to visit our countries because if we leave we will not be allowed to enter again and it just for many immigrants solidarity and the will to fight have grown even stronger despite the pandemic and the trumpet ministrations policies and for those hoping to become an american citizen that toll now has a name joe bite. the coronavirus hit germany hard but in a city in the state of mecklenburg for home and the infection rate is much lower than the national average what are they doing differently. is it the cool baltic breeze or the rather calm and collected mindset of people in the north of germany so far they have made it well through the covert crisis

especially here in the city of boston infection numbers are currently lower than the german everett's. to supernews we are disciplined northern germans are quite different from everyone else. we're a bit more nordic and distance anyway maybe that's our secret recipe timing might have been one reason very early on the city started testing more people than ever it mosques quickly became mandatory in designated places and alcohol was spent on the streets earlier than in most places in germany. in the other reason might be him but our stocks mayor he is originally from denmark and had just started his political career when the pandemic hits before that he was an entry printer helpful when leading a team. minded people of very surprised when i said now we're going

to shut everything down it took 15 minutes and then they started working all together as a strong team and immediately put my words in action and i can understand that when the new mayor suddenly says we're going to shut everything down here we're going to get. a search reason for the lower number of infections could be the north specs the nation's strategy relative to its inhabitants they have vaccinated more people than any other region in germany and there is something else a few family doctors are gaining nationwide attention because they started vaccinating people in their own practice unique in germany because so far people had to go to vaccination centers to get the chap administering it has been doable for doctors here contrary to popular belief the biotech pfizer vaccine can be stored at normal french temperature for a couple of days. my and my wish of course would be that when we have enough vaccine available in the near future that we will have proven with this model

project it's possible the family doctors can do the vaccinations it has brought in this idea and let the family doctors take over newbern him. but germany is still missing vaccine doses until that problem is solved the country's north will have to continue counting on its discipline and maybe the fresh baltic breeze. our last stop is russia for a ride on the moscow metro after a decades long ban women can once again drive for the capital cities rapid transit system. women are finally in the driving seat and are pushing full speed ahead on gender equality in the russian capital. started working for the moscow metro almost 18 years ago at the time women were not allowed to operate subway trains in russia but arenas

says for her it was worth the wait and study of this is my childhood dream i used to play with model ships and airplanes with the boys my father was a pilot so why the metro somehow it drew me in the fact that it's underground i guess it's like flying but under the ground. irina is proud to be one of the 1st 12 female metro drivers after all the moscow subway is legendary the soviet government started building it in the 1930 s. calling it a palace for the people for commuting workers in the 1980 s. the government decided women had no place driving these trains they said the metro is too deep underground too loud and too dark for women and the vibration from the trains could damage their so-called childbearing function even now women drivers are only being deployed on the most modern trains and only operate one lined partially over ground despite the fact that they get the exact same training as

their male counterparts. in russia 100 jobs remain off limits for women for example metal manufacturing like the work in this steel mill mining and drilling on an oil rig are still considered men's work russian lawmakers insist the restrictions are still relevant today. we treat women with care here these tough jobs and hard labor are still seen as men's work in our society also women are mothers so providing for and taking care of their health and their reproductive functions is important that's why we used recommendations from doctors to determine factors that are harmful to women at work . even though it's on her way to her next shift the 38 year old says the metro feels like

a 2nd home to her especially now that she's in the driving seat and the arena is optimistic the other band jobs won't be off limits to women forever. i'm sure they're working on it already the bounds must be in place for a reason so the government must be taking care of women i would tell other women to keep believing in. no matter what you want to become everything is possible eating a dog already has her dream job and the next group of women will start training to become drivers soon but outside of these metro channels gender equality is still a long way off this. plane. player. play.
