ah ah ah ah, this is the dublin hughes ly from berlin. unprecedented move against a former us president. the congressional committee investigating the january 2nd attack on the capital recommends criminal charges against donald trump. accusing him of crimes, including inciting, i'm insurrection and conspiracy to defraud the united states. also on the program,

germany is foreign minister on the line of battle because it's nigeria hoping to open a new chapter in relations between the 2 countries. china faces arising number of covey cases. i mean growing international concerns and the impact of beijing is lifting of restrictions on the rest of the world. welcome when as argentina arrive home to a hero's welcome, we'll take it. when is it supposed celebration? ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. the u. s. committee investigating the january 6th capital riots is recommended that charges are brought against donald trump for inciting an insurrection and obstruction official proceeding. the democratic lead to panel said the former president intended to disrupt the peaceful house after

losing the 2020 election. the recommendations are non binding. i will now go to a special council appointed by the us attorney general. or 5 people died when a violent mob storm capital last year. we knew that as well, that's considered what this is likely to mean with typhon barker who's a senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations. then welcome back to d w. a tyson. so donald trump waiting to hear from a special prosecutor, we've seen this movie before. do you think this is likely to go to an actual prosecution? i think it probably will, but the trump, let's say trump ecosystems tactic is always to delay. so i think this will probably end up spooling out over the course of more than a year. and clearly this is going to get rated into the political process. and it was one of the reasons that the, the former president actually announced his intention to run for reelection. right?

so it's, so just looking ahead to do that potential. i'm here, this followers have portrayed this whole inquiry as a politically motivated, which on is there any way that this, an actual prosecution might actually benefit him, allowing him to portray himself as some sort of martyr. i think that that is, that's definitely the incentive those around him is to instrumental lies this to say, look, you know, this is a politically motivated action. that's why some of his supporters and proxies in congress have done. on the republican side, we assume, i mean, this is clear damage to this investigative committee. the special committee will begin on january 3rd, when the republicans take control of the house, even though it's not even clear who the speaker is going to be necessarily, because kevin mccarthy doesn't have the bose. we do know that the special committee will be dissolved one of the people who was submitted for ethics consideration for

center on the ethics committee and congress will be taking over as the chair of the judiciary committee. so i think what the republicans will probably try to do, especially his allies in the house, is to level the field by looking at those around joe biden to make similar charges and perhaps even level similar kind of referrals. right. if he was prosecuted, would that stop him from running from office? i mean that he is the a clearer symbolic and recommendation of those in the house who have unanimously endorsed this referral of for criminal prosecutions. a. the indictment itself wouldn't do it, but if he was found guilty, that would definitely make it impossible for him to run for office. yes, thank you so much for joining us in outlining that so clearly at tyson baka, from the german council on foreign relations in better

now to russia, where president putin is preparing to meet the leaders of illegally annexed regions of ukraine. the russian appointed heads of don't ask in the hands god to be honored at a state awards ceremony in the kremlin. mister pershing will attend the ceremony. after returning from talks in ballard, bruce with his counterpart, alexander louis shanker, his 1st visit to bella was for a year for 4 years, happened amid warnings from ukraine that russia may be preparing to launch a new assault from balancing territory. so we have a mr. put in a meeting last week with senior military officers here yesterday, being in belarus and today meeting those that leaders of hands can done yet. are moscow bureau chief, you re, rochette are working from reagan explained what's likely to be behind this flurry of activity or couldn't, has been silent for weeks. he refused to comment on one of russia's biggest disasters in ukraine so far as that withdrawal from the previously annexed
