this is to give you news live from girl and donald trump is equated of inciting last month's capitol hill 7 republicans joining the democrats in voting to convict but it's not enough as trump survives his 2nd impeachment trial. and germany closes its borders with austria and the czech republic after sure and highly contagious coronavirus only essential travel is allowed. corresponding to one of the border crossings.
12:01 pm
welcome to our viewers around the world. we begin in the united states where donald trump has been acquitted of inciting last month's attack on the u.s. capitol as expected the vote in the american senate fell short of the 2 thirds majority needed to convict the former president however 7 republicans voted to side with the democrats making it the most bipartisan impeachment verdict in american history. smiles all round donald trump the legal team revel in their client's acquittal we won guilty. it was always going to be an uphill battle for democrats they needed to convince at least 17 republican senators to cross the aisle. in the end though only 7 republicans voted to convict giving former president donald trump his 2nd acquittal in. 57
12:02 pm
days for ease 3 the day's proceedings was time for both sides to make their closing arguments hoping to swayed any last minute votes to believe based on the evidence you have seen that mr trump actually wanted and indeed willfully incited in armed insurrection to overthrow the u.s. government would be absurd democrats pushed back saying the senate could stop violence from happening again the cold hard truth is it would happen on january 6th can happen again i fear like many of you do that the violence we saw on that terrible day may be just the beginning donald trump was unrepentant in welcoming his a quick to saying the trial was yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the
12:03 pm
history of the united states. after the vote democrats scorned republicans for voting to acquit the vast majority of the senate republican caucus including the republican leader voted to acquit former president trump signing their names in the columns of history alongside his name for ever and despite voting not guilty republican senate minority leader mitch mcconnell conceded that the former president was responsible for the riot there is no question oh oh. their present crop is practically. and morally responsible for provoking. the lawyers have rested their case on the matter of donald trump's involvement in the january 6 riots but the divisions in us society remain the equip to open the
12:04 pm
door for trump to run for the watch house again in 2024. reporter peter real adult joins me now for more peter now that all is said and done what is the significance of trump's acquittal well it means a trump has been acquitted but it doesn't change the fact that he is still the 1st president to been impeached twice and he's also the 1st president to been tried after leaving office that is clearly a big blemish on his record is going to be hard to screw up that clean if he decides to run his will hurt there to maybe pursue another run in 2024 the big question is i think what message does it send not only to the american people but also to other lawmakers running for office i mean many worry that it really sets a dangerous precedent that the clear message is that they can essentially go ahead and flout the constitution and flout norms and get away with it you know we saw mitch mcconnell saying there that donald trump is practically and morally responsible for the right yet they moved to acquit him so i think it's going to
12:05 pm
hart see how it's not going to be seen as an invitation for some to do much of what trumped it and really violate a lot of the norms that we were used to before trump you just referenced mitch mcconnell the senate minority leader and of course viewers just heard him say that he was essentially responsible for provoking the events of the day and yet he acquitted him along with a handful of other republicans who were critical of the former president's actions so i think it's fair to ask. why didn't more republicans actually vote to convict wasn't the formal answer is right we saw them essentially seeking refuge be behind a formality saying that they couldn't that they didn't think that they can impeach a president or convict a president after he's left office the irony here being obviously that mitch mcconnell while he was the senate leader while term was still in office was the one who blocked the senate from moving ahead with the trial so he's the director reason
12:06 pm
that they couldn't you know convict trump while he was still in office and it does suggest though i think that trump does continue to have a strong hold on the republican party and many of the republicans who won in 2020 in the congressional elections did so writing trumps coattails still as we saw with mcconnell a lot of republicans feeling very uneasy about tying themselves to trump and this time you know it seems like maybe republicans got to have their cake and eat it too but as a party looks into the future really is a question you know how will trump continue to dominate and will continue with the party in one sentence will donald trump run again in 2024 he certainly hinted at in a statement whether or not boaters will allow him to get a 2nd term in office i this point find doubtful peter roula dull on the trump scene for us thank you so much

around 11000000 undocumented immigrants live in the usa during the trump era they lived in fear of deportation president biden has promised them a path to citizenship but many are still worried. that is what brings them together even on a cold day and meet the pandemic. 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 this banned from the get go should 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 is just it's cruel and it's going to be raised i'm here in support of the action all of us meaning that we're demanding to the white house and congress president biden we need justice for everybody meaning. citizenship for all 11000000 undocumented immigrants and to all

says what hurts most is not to be able to visit her family. 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 an a job i'd. like. the coronavirus hit germany hard but in a city in the state of mecklenburg for palm on 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
12:23 pm
especially here in the city awful bus stop infection numbers are currently lower than the german everett. to supernews where disciplined northern germans are quite different from everyone else. we're a bit more nordic and distance anyway maybe that's why i was secret recipe timing might have been one reason very early on the city started testing more people than ever it's mosques quickly became mandatory in designated places and alcohol was spent on the streets earlier than in most places in germany. another reason might be him of 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. people looked very surprised when i said now we're going
12:24 pm
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
12:25 pm
project it's possible the family doctors can do the vaccinations it has brought in this idea and let the family doctors take over. 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 through 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
12:26 pm
arenas says for her it was worth the wait. this is my childhood dream i used to play with model ships and airplanes with the boys my father is 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 line and runs partially over ground despite the fact that they get the exact same training
12:27 pm
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 . is on her way to her next shift the 38 year old says the metro feels like
12:28 pm
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 and hoping no matter what you want to become everything is possible . it already has her dream job and the next group of women will start training to become drivers soon but outside of these metro tunnels gender equality is still a long way off. the. plane.

is still made concrete by plants and boot moment child break from britain has not only written a book about problem you can put even bruce some in it and a. this season's skiers cannot always hit the slopes due to the coronavirus pandemic many ski resorts in europe are closed or her for strict terms on the number of visitors but there are still ways to still have fun in the snow how would you like to be pulled troops know we landscapes on skis by a horse we travel to frogs to take a closer look at an exciting woods a sports. this is a sports center of a originated in scandinavia with reindeer or dogs it was made popular using horses in the early 20th century but in france it was largely forgotten until jacques
12:32 pm
finian tiller's reintroduced it there about 30 years ago. i'm still passionate about it because we're always out in nature always in an element that is constantly changing because the snow is never the same and it will be hard or soft or like powder it could be the snow of springtime it's always a different experience. jack off in the french alps near the resort of lay's uk he saw reviving the sport here as a way of combining 2 passions. i got in the city because i was working for 10 years on ski patrols that monitor the trails and avalanches and take care of those who were hurt. the same time i had an equestrian center and my horses had nothing to keep them busy during the winter. so i said i needed to find a way to combine 2 things i love. skiing and horses.
12:33 pm
ensuring does require some skill participants don't have to have much knowledge of horse riding because the animals respond to basic commands through the reins but writers do have to have a certain level of skiing experience. as long as they can ski people of all ages can take part. and watch the horse. watch the horse watch the horse that's a very good. perfect very good. ski touring comes from the norwegian term for ski driving its original purpose was . transport goods today it's also a competitive sport disco so what did you feel whilst enjoying the only freedom in the nature of the snow everywhere and silence great experience really awesome.
12:34 pm
and allusion horse here on the left in a norwegian fjord are among the 3 horses jack has specially trained for ski joining he wanted to relaunch the sport in france after seeing an old postcard with skiers being pulled by horses but he had to start from scratch. i told myself it was necessary to find a way to ski behind horses he said when i did the research and couldn't find anything no equipment existed and that's how i started to develop my own equipment . the result of that was this special harness which is mounted on a horse and designed to minimize pressure on the animal go go if you'll cut your driving joke that we don't touch the horse's mouth that only happens when i want to give a command the right to go right or left to go left or pull both handles back to break oh yeah. the cameras part of the harness protects the driver from the flying snow.
12:35 pm
the rings controlled by the handles stay subtle. good huling the thing about this sport that motivates me is the feeling of freedom all the time it's really a grand feeling of freedom or a sense that the horse isn't imprisoned not constrained but you are letting it follow its natural behavior and you become one with him as you glide behind him. that's something you only experience when ski joran. thinks to jacques and his horses tourists have yet another way to enjoy the great outdoors in france. valentine's day is coming once again and because my husband is such a hopeless romantic he sent me all these presents in the studio well actually
12:36 pm
that's not true he doesn't even text me something nice on valentine's day but for people who do like to celebrate florence high in paper is just the thing to wrap all those nice presents. the italian city of florence is the center of arts and culture it's also home to paper making traditions they did back centuries from sheets and cards to book pages and binders handmade florentine paper can still be found in a few places here these pay for is now called a florentine paper. even if the caret region is smog old paid for it's a very all to make of decorating paper but it was used a lot in florence in a book by ending process mostly so always through related to books and printing.
12:37 pm
mario. a feel a family business now in its 6th generation. it's florence's all those marble paper maker and one of the few places where it's still handmade. also holds workshops on how to make marvel paper i am going to to make it to prepare the model paper so. and. just spread some callers on to the jelly thing gelatine and step by step i will create a pattern. and i will lay the paper on till and you'll see what the paper sold day how the paper is that correlated. the process is interested and time consuming with lots of attention paid to detail. from start to finish maria needs about 20 minutes to make one sheet of paper. for each new sheet she has to repeat
12:38 pm
the entire process using new colors. the end result is always unique. this is quite different from the machine printed paper which is largely taken over here at the ross the paper making factory the company also specializes in florentine designs but they've been using machines to print their paper since 1931 . in this factory we agree that we have old machines as well. using old machine the same as last century but the ring knew it with their new technologies these printing machine can produce 20001500 sheets our.
12:39 pm
the process wasn't always so fast there's a regional press from the late 19th century could only print certain items one at a time. and. this is the 1st machine and. the beginning of these company my grandfather and don't you know it will start the with these oppressor printing or some carts putting the peeper here and in this place. laurel patterns in the use of striking colors including gold are characteristic of florentine decorative paper it's substantial weight makes it good for binding books creating stationery and covering boxes. these items are popular with both the tourists and locals alike. marbled paper is said to
12:40 pm
have originated in japan around the 12th century it came to europe during the 16th and 17th centuries and was used for important documents as a way of preventing forgeries and the ratio today it's popular. as a gift. people are looking for something that it's handmade and it's unique it's just want to become. and they can have a spirit known for you know colors or do uniqueness of a piece of paper. the techniques for making decorative florentine paper may continue to evolve but the patterns remain steeped in history and tradition. after just unwrapped one of the presents and found some they taste prayer lines we don't know who invented them some say it was a german chef back in the 17th century others believe it was a pharmacist draw your house from belgium legends as he was trying to find
12:41 pm
a way to make his medicines go down easier with talk that's but whoever invented them today they are a treat belgium is famous for world wide and we visit that chocolate in brussels to find out more about how they are made. also behold. when i go on holiday i often think this time i won't take any chocolates with me. just yet and then when i've just left i go back to get some.
12:42 pm
go in you all in love with somebody you never know why i never was from the moment i heard tried chocolate i decided to make some myself because it was love at 1st sight and. i just see it for the whole day and i'm fed to they got a long day of chocolates here i make railings every day and i make chocolate every day and i eat it every day and i love it so. it's chocolate is very simple it's not complicated there are 2 or 3 ingredients cocoa mass for dark chocolate with some cocoa butter and sugar. is. the way you know that but what you see here is pistachio mars a panel that has all. the new so artisans like us have 2 main techniques for making the green leaves. and all those. we 1st do the filling.
12:43 pm
in then cut it and finally we surround it with chocolate and that's the coating. i'm decorating it with a fork. it's on the cool it's a very traditional way of decorating shit it is over 100 years old. the 2nd steps is the molding that you take some chocolate with or without coloring you temper it and then you put it in a spray gun and apply it to them i want to make this give shine and color. that's being pushed the fine layer of chocolate here is very important so it can't be too thick or truth then says if it's too thin it breaks if it's too thick it's
12:44 pm
unpleasant. and then from the home you know we're filling the mold with caramel salted caramel and that's done with a machine that machine the whole piece it fills the mold to about 90 percent to leave a bit of space solar moon. sun finally the chocolate so but not too much for most and when you heat up railing it's essential not to have too much empty space when biting into it heat it has to be a smallest muscle. said kid. whose we have 70 different kinds of crazy lady in. the whole sea frailing as we raise all was the most freshman's or time the only thing we also use a lot of spices such as a cardamom. star a nice or chimerica and that mole to be honest i've been eating a box of crayons a day forever. this here is liquid caramel. i guess.
12:45 pm
more most of all just keep this that it tastes wonderful because you have the crunchiness of the chocolate. and then you have the tasty filling in which the bills are mounting all along busy a lot of us and then you have the freshness of the raspberries killers so. you have to find peace it's like smoking a good cigars i know that's not good but you have to take time to smoke a good cigar you have to enjoy it otherwise it's not worth that. amount of popular valentine's day gift per few but finding the right one to suit your personal taste is not always easy anyone looking beyond mass produced
