ah, you are slow makers have held their final public hearing into the january 6 attack on the u. s. capital, it ends months of dramatic testimony, disturbing video crescendo of culpability climaxing with a subpoena address to former president donald trump. is this success or symbolism? will donald trump? will he ever answer questions under oath about his role in american democracies near death experience? i'm pretty off in berlin. this is the day. ah. in the morning of january says, president trump knew that the crowd was angry. the president knew the crowd was
12:03 am
angry because he had stoked that anger. he knew that they were armed and dangerous committee has shown evidence the president trump was aware of the risk of violence and he knew that they were going to the capitol, the man at the center of the storm on january 6th, president trump. ah, also coming up as of today in the u. k. count, but there have been for finance ministers in the past 4 months. could this be a trend for the office of prime minister as well? well yeah, i think the only decent saying that to the back benches kid do know is co time on less to us and this entire u. k. government and a late people across the u key to have a general election. i mean, this is beyond a joke, it was never funny. but to our he was watching on p b. s. at the united states into all of you around the world. welcome we be of the day with the investigation into the january 6th attack of the u. s. capital,
12:04 am
what will probably be ignored? what most likely will not. yesterday the house select committee investigating the insurrection held its final public hearing and voted unanimously to subpoena the man at the center of it all. former you as president donald trump, now will trump ignore the subpoena? most likely? will he get away with it? well, that may eventually be up to the u. s. attorney general to decide between now and then the mid term elections next month. they could return control of congress to the republicans who will then most likely withdraw the subpoena, but what cannot be undone or unseen for that matter, are the videos that the committee presented to the public yesterday. videos from january 6th, as leaders of congress were taken to a secure room hidden away from an angry mob. there we see politicians, democrats and republicans working together, worrying together. not knowing if they will get out
12:05 am
a life together. we're down, trump proceeded to do after the 2020 election is something no president has done before in our country here. i mean issue, we're not going to be ever the door has been reached. if you were gaining access to the capital, a secure location, and then do we go back into session? we did go back into the session, but now apparently everybody on the floor is putting on to dust masks. to prepare for bridge, i'm trying to get more information putting on their tier gas masks. doesn't
12:06 am
care. i know why don't you get the president to tell them to leave the capital mister attorney general and your law enforcement responsibility a public statement. they should all leave. kevin mccarthy's is the republican leader about this. and, and he said he called donald, you only got through to donald trump and he said, you have got to get on tv. you've got to get on whether you got to call these people are you know what the president said to him? this is happening. he said, well, kevin, these are my people, you know, these are, these are a deal. we have some senators who are still in their hideaway. they need massive personnel. now can you get the maryland national guard to come to a
12:07 am
door? they said somebody was shot, it just was just horrendous and all agree. instigation of the president of the united states. we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion. he is the one person at the center of the story of what happened on january 6. so he wanted to hear from him. so this afternoon, i am offering this resolution at the committee, direct the chairman to issue a subpoena or relevant documents and testimony under oath. from donald john trump, he must be accountable. he is required to answer for his actions. none of this would have happened without him. he was personally and substantially involved in all of it. my 1st gifts tonight is elizabeth holzman and she is an attorney to
12:08 am
politicians. she served in the house of representatives in the 1970s, and she is also the author of the book, the case for impeaching truck is going to have you back with us. what did you make of this video that was presented? i'm at this last hearing and how these republican and democratic congressional leaders there were huddled together, trying to save each other's lives. well, it was very powerful. i served in the house to represent 8 years. it was a safer place for me, not because i worked there because that was the center of our democracy. that's where people at different points of view came together to work. things out wasn't always beautiful, but it was hallowed ground. it was hello ground. and here we had these people desecrating it. i mean is nancy pelosi said they were devastating in the capital.
12:09 am
they were destroying the capital. they were breaking windows. they came in with confederate flags, even during the civil war, there was never a confederate flag there. so many worn out with t shirt. i mean these were crazy, separate whites, separate separatist people who had such anger in our government in our way of life . it was, it was shocking. i think the, the thing that is not surprising to me is that in a time of crisis, people came together republicans and democrats because they wanted to live. they wanted the capital to survive. they wanted our democracy to survive. you know, not everybody agree with that. but that's what happened, and now we have these hearings coming to an end. the climax of course, was yesterday when the committee voted to subpoena the former us president. let me just ask you in legal terms, it is, is it why, if you likely going to show up
12:10 am
a be he's probably going to ignore this if any no, he's going to use. this is an opportunity to bluster to say, oh yes, of course he wants to testify. remember, robert mar wanted him to make statements under oath. oh yes, he said, i want to do that. i want to do that in the end, he just didn't testify. he wrote some answers on some pieces of paper that were basically useless. so i don't expect that he will ever test it by nor i'm an attorney, and he were my client. i never let him testify. this man can't tell the truth. so if you were to testify under oath and put him in terrible jeopardy now, but he's going to use an opportunity to bluster and make the same claims over. he released the 14 page letter chair of the of the committee, basically saying, repeating all the lies, accusing committee of not looking into the fraud that took place which he knew never took place. let me check challenge challenge results of these elections.
12:11 am
in 61 course, he lost every one of those cases with everything that you are saying is true, these are, these are facts with committee and this is well, do you think the committee made a mistake by waiting until it's a very last public hearing to vote to subpoena the president because, you know, we just got it. we just got what, 2 days now and we've got mid term elections and then you know, the republicans could be in control of congress and that subpoena will then be withdrawn and it's all history. well, republicans don't take over if they do until january 3rd, so there are months left for the committee to receive his testimony. if he's willing to test fines, i said, i can't imagine that he will. he'll make noises that he wants to, but he will never testify. under oath, so i why should the committee have gone through it to deal with him is really issue re why should the committee have done this beginning? and i think what happened was that the committee put forth evidence. people saw it
12:12 am
and then it was trump himself who is responsible for this resolution people. so on the end that it was trot, knowing that this was that they were armed, people in this crowd be sent to the capital. i'm going to march with you. i'm going to be there with you. fight like hell is telling people with weapons to fight like hell. he knew what was going to happen. he's not do, but he's not that. he said this in motion. he called them to the white house. he called them to washington, and in december, this was plan almost a month beforehand. he called them in december. he said, the while what kind of protest is while this protest i yeah, that's right, that is true. it. and we got all of that in these hearings. over the past few months and now i mean it is, as you say, it's like an attorney before court. putting a case building a case. and now it's being turned over maybe to the u. s. justice department is
12:13 am
this all going to be up to the u. s. attorney general. whether or not donald trump has to face any type of justice you well, that's my view that he has to face justice. i mean what happened on january 6th happened full view of the. 3 many people now the american people know even more and, you know, he was sitting in front of his tv, you know, people were begging him to intervene and stop it. they know he refused for more than 3 hours. we know that during those 3 hours it was hand to hand combat. we know that during those 3 hours, people die. 140 police officers were injured and he did nothing. he wanted this to happen. the justice department has to act, hold them accountable, because the crime is clear to the american people that they don't, they're creating an impunity for a judge or presence of the united states, creating a 2 tiered system of justice,
12:14 am
one for president who can do whatever they want and one for the rest of us. that's, that was the framers had in mind. it's clear in the constitution, the framers, explicit a president of the united states can be indicted, can be right, can be punished. those words are in the constitution. elizabeth hope them is open as always, we appreciate your time in your insights tonight we will be following the stories. i'm sure you will be to thank you. thank you. i met the former chancellor earlier today. i was incredibly sorry to lose him. he is a great friend. ah, we'll be right. with my minister. go next to 40 food off i have all jeremy hunt to become the
12:15 am
new chancellor. or you think your boy, in fact, so i enjoy mcgill, and so he's one of the most experienced a widely respected government ministers upon mon terrence and he shows my convictions and ambitions for our country. can you explain to the public? why do you think you should remain as prime minister at the sooner she goes and the sooner people get the chance to get rid of this to the government that is doing so much damage once and for all the beta? well is, trusts is trash. the british economy, she's put hundreds of pounds on people with mortgages, and she's humiliated the conservative government in the eyes of the world. i mean, this is beyond a joke. it was never funny. what i've done today is made show the we have economic stability in this country. i was your friday. they said the politics is full of
12:16 am
twists and turns. the series of u turns performed by british prime minister lives trusted. she moved into downing street was left the country spinning in her latest about face dress has sacked, her finance minister quality quantity after just 38 days on the job. and she has scrapped parts of her economic package. the goal of that package was to kick start the british economy through tax cuts. instead, the economic plans sent the international financial markets into shock, sending the british pound plunging and mortgages. mortgage rates soaring. truss hopes that her sudden re shuffle will calm financial markets so far. it's only fueling calls for her for her, for self to consider her own political future. and we're gonna do some considering that our own tonight i want to pull in quinton peel. he is an associate fellow with the europe program at the think tank. chatham house, he's a familiar face to our viewers here, which is good to see you again. i just wanted to ask you did,
12:17 am
did the wrong person get fired today? yes, i think you could say that because the person who was fun quasi quoting was the closest ally of live trust in government. they were really in lockstep on this entire economic policy of tax cutting to boost growth. and the truth is she sacked the man who was doing exactly what she wanted him to do. so it's a really peculiar situation where as journalists were asking her press conference, well if you're sacking him, how come you'll still there? and that's exactly the question that her members of parliament are also starting to argue. i mean, i thought this might help her. i've been watching the debate ever since a press conference this afternoon, and it seems totally negative. i think that her days of very much number,
12:18 am
what is in this is just about lose trust our is it about the conservative party itself? i mean, if you look at what's happened, we've had for finance ministers in the u. k. in the past 4 months, regardless of your political views here, that looking at that that's just careless. that's reckless. mean, how can the conservative party say to voters in the u. k, we are a party that you can trust it can't. and that is exactly why in the opinion polls at the moment, the conservative party has suddenly lurched to being behind the labor party. by some way, between 30 and 40 percentage points, they will be massacred if there's any early election. and the only thing that he's likely to preserve, liz truss as prime minister is the fact that her own members of parliament, a terrified that if there were a general election, they would all lose their seats. is it possible when that quasi quantity could
12:19 am
actually have some type of resurrection, as we averred among the party conference, he was the one who got more votes and for the speeches in terms of popularity, people thinking he would be the better candidate. yeah, i think that's a bit unlikely because he has got so much on the wrong side of the financial markets. i mean, after all, the last thing that any finance minister wants to see happen is that the markets lose trust in you. and that's what's happened to both quasi qua, tang and lives truss. it's the combination that is the that has been seen as the problem. i think of the man who might be able to steady the ship a little bit is actually jeremy hum, the man. she's now appointed as a finance minister because he's seen as a safe, fair van. he's
12:20 am
a middle of the road conservative. he's not deeply ideological. he's got a lot of experience, both his health minister and his foreign minister. and so those who have any hope left in this government or i think praying that jeremy comes may be the answer to that. pres, in looking at the u. k. from the outside. quinton, i mean, we brought this crisis happening right now and it comes after the crisis that the u . k. had with boris johnson, boris johnson right now. believe it or not looks somewhat like a, a, a man of strength and stability for the country. i mean is that, is that we're, we've arrived at i think that there are you quite a lot of people certainly in the conservative party you'd like, but it's johnson to come back. but having said that, look, don't, let's get this wrong. he trashed the represent rep, they. he trashed the good name of the conservative party as well. he was seen to
12:21 am
have been the. i untruthful, he was a, he lied to parliament, he lied about what he was doing. and he's the man, i mean, at the heart of all this, i think you've got to go back to the problem of breaks it. who forced breaks it through. that was boris johnson. but breaks it is still v s. u that is not only damaged the british economy, it's divided the country, it spit, the conservative party and split the labor party. and actually, that is the problem. and until something is done to resolve, if you like the disaster of breck states and getting britain a little bit closer to its former allies in europe, then i think this, whatever government there is, is going to be in trouble. yeah. and you know, i thought our viewers know in 2016 right after the break that referendum, quinton, on the show said that the, the ghost breaks it will haunt the u. k. for
12:22 am
a very long time. and here we have it in 2022. when pill is always going to talking with you, we appreciate your insights. thank you. very good. bye bye. ah question for you. will we leave this world a better place for our children? ask your kids what they think. and the answer may be reason for alarm. doctors say that young people are feeling helpless, hopeless, so much so that their mental health is at risk. elaine's had study from 2021, found that 75 percent of youth. consider the future. frightening 45 percent point to climate change already having a negative impact on their daily lives and like climate change, the mental health dilemma children it is global teen suicides in the u. s. have more than doubled since 2007 in south africa. 65 percent of young people, 65 percent, said that they have some form of
12:23 am
a mental health problem. now these are very sobering numbers. joining me here tonight at the big table to talk about them as dr. isabel, a horse or she is director of the clinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy at the charity hospital here in berlin. isabel, it's good to see you again. it's been a long time. we couldn't do it for during the pandemic. but unfortunately, under these circumstances, these, these numbers this week was international mental health day 2. and that's what put this on the radar force. and are you seeing this, i mean, at the, shari tate, are you hearing this from young people that the feel that the future is not worth even we're wanting to live for? definitely there is an increase in inc, especially anxiety disorders and depression. also substance abuse withdrawal symptoms, behavioral disorders. there is a clear rise in this, but this rise has actually started a before the pandemic. it is about since 2012 they
12:24 am
w h o just has released a report or a year ago actually that there's an alarming increase in mental health disorders of aetna, adolescence and even younger children, which we haven't seen before. in that, in that the extent, but maybe we are, we are also having a heightened awareness now, after all these crisis, the pandemic and intro, trying to find leaks. no causative factors. here you say we started noticing these things around 2012. that's also when social media became ubiquitous in our lives, particularly for young people. do you see a cause effect relationship there? well, there are a lot of studies who are sort of um, insinuating that, that i'm, i'm also a little cautious because just to condemn social media and blaming it for every
12:25 am
thing that is not well, i think is a little bit too easy. but i do think that pressure on young children or adolescence when they're on their formative years and has it actually increased with all the social media which seem to be having a huge influence by influencers by in these influences? yeah, that's the word in when we're talking about, you know, people, particular teenagers, they're going through adolescence are going through puberty. we think it's may be normal for them to rebuild, to find the, the models that their parents represent to be things that they want to reject. but this, this, what we're seeing now, this is not more than that, not this is different because it's not so much the rebellion and being, you know, and disorderly conduct or something like that. it's more that withdrawal, being anxious, withdrawing, being depressed, withdrawing. that is, that is somewhat, that is a different reaction than we are used to. yeah,
12:26 am
i found her a report from a therapist saying that the children that she sees on she says that she noticed that the quickly start describing are they represent a fantasy of withdrawing to the point where they say that they can no longer sustain a sense of self replace that in the future. they're not going to grow up on the girls say they can't even imagine having children. sexuality for them is something that just isn't going to happen. i mean, this is neo listing. this is almost like self destructive. yes. a, in a sense, i would agree with that and i, i, i think there is a trend in this direction which is actually new to us. that it is so much with withdrawal and sort of a yacht looking so pessimistically and, and skeptically it into the future. because norma, in our times, in my times, rebellion was, you know,
12:27 am
acting out going out and being active or not only socially, but maybe sexually or ste. yeah, exactly what that, what was it was about that that is different that we've got like 26. let me ask you, what would be the one little piece of advice she would give parents then if, if they're worried about the children go out and um don't be too overprotective, have the, have your children, you know, at least go to school and maybe have a an afternoon activity, an extra curricular activity is go. the voice is always both good to see you. great advice. my pleasure. thank you for the day's almost done the conversation, it continues aligned. your point is on twitter, either dw news, you could follow me on twitter at brent golf t v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. make sure you tell your kids that you love them as well. we'll see you next week
