the for the rest of the world usa, the also rise starts january 18th on the dw, the business day w, here's life invalid, and kind of this prime minister adjusting schroeder announces his resignation, faced with promising approval ratings, he says he'll step aside as lead of the ruling liberal policy, but will stay in office until a new leader is chose. also on the program, austria's fall arrived and she's close at the power public kiko who leads the far right freedom policy is asked to form a new government of tools between mainstream pocket colors and a possible winter storm blankets. much of the eastern united states, crippling travel and knocking on power to hundreds of thousands of the

i'm so very welcome to the program. kinda just prime minister justin true now has announced that he'll resign is leader of the ruling liberal party, a boeing to grow an internal pressure. mr. joe said, posit in fighting men's, it was clear he wasn't the best choice to lead them into general elections this year. so the main is 5 minutes to until 2 o'clock and choose his replacement. justin crudo has led canada for almost a decade. but if he's become deeply unpopular with polls indicating that 73 percent of canadians want him to step down this part of his resignation, speech i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process last night i asked the president of the

liberal party to begin that process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. and it is become clear to me that if i am having to fight internal battles, i cannot be the best option in that election. so let's get more from the correspondent janelle dom allow, and washington welcomed janelle a tell us more about justin showed those reasons for going you know, fell. there was a moment last month when just to introduce eventual resignation seemed inevitable. and that was when chris, your free line resign, christopher freeland, of course, thought being the deputy, the deputy prime minister, and the finance minister. a very close ally, justin for those a number to know whether she resigned. it's set off a chorus of other voices within for those liberal party calling on to go to resign and allow for a new leader to lead the liberal party and counted as upcoming federal elections.

now when he spoke to the nation earlier, a turbo referenced those internal battles, it was also in that sounds like that you just played. and so that's what he meant. one of the key concerns about has emberts, is that he might not be the right person to be in charge of canada out of time. or donald trump is poised to take over the white house in the united states. we know that trump has promised to impose a 25 percent import tariffs on canadian, in ports coming in to the west. that could be very damaging for canada is economy. and it is not helped by the fact that trump enter don't, don't have the best relationship. trump very often belittles for dell calling of the governor of canada and saying that capital should really be other united states, 51st dates. so essentially what we are seeing and this resignation is for dough saying that you might not be the right person to lead candidate at this time. not only is the unpopular, but he finds himself in

a poor position to be able to deal with the challenges coming counted us way. we. i said of introduction to 73 percent of canadians that wants him to go. he was so popular at one stage, houses the phone from liberals think the stuff to being so popular of the, you know, he really has become very poppy, unpopular in the near decade that he has been in power. and a lot of it is down to how his post pandemic management of canada has been severely criticized. so counted off like many countries on the world was hammered by insulation. canadians also face stuff, a lot of housing affordability issues, health care issues, unemployment remains elevated. his immigration policies also became deeply unpopular. he has also had to whether a few scandals that had to deal with this person directly like the one where he was accused of harassing reporter. that's an allegation about tra don't, has denied. but i think what we're seeing here is if we would zoom out is

a rejection of the incumbency. we're seeing a canadian version of what has been playing out. and many other countries as well, about rejection of incumbency in the face of post pandemic anger. and that has now also come from a search though, so who is likely to be placed of the there are a few names are floating around already. uh, it is not completely clear, but we've already heard the name of christa freeland, who i already mentioned earlier. there's also the, the finance minister who replaced christo, freeland, that's dominic leblanc and more carney, the central bank are famous for helping both the bank of canada and bank of england . but in terms of who will be dealing with trump, a lease in the 1st few weeks at the trump administration, that will continue to throw himself at least until parliament resumes on march 24th . okay, thanks about janelle, i did have a customer on a janelle to allow a washington dc to austria,

where the far right freedom party has been asked to form a government as follows. the collapse of coalition talks between centrists, the countries president. i was on to find the balance has passed the leader of the far right freedom party, habit kiko with forming a new government, if he's successful officer would have its 1st fall. right. and that governments, since world war 2 these protest at that. and we were the believe would change the course of the country's future. soon the far right feet the body could lead the government. its leader heard particularly now has the job to fund a new government. a decision many here disapprove of everyone's industries big. what's happening right now was very important for us, and i got a right wing extremists, politician who's calling himself the people's chancellor fits. and the last time someone called himself that that was 8 of hitler, that this person might get a mandate to from the government is unacceptable to us just phones on talk. but

it's, we didn't want to wake up in a flash country. well, you know, for retirement system not get hungry and we want to maintain democracy. the i cannot all spun the feet about the bundle most sports and the september elections in australia, gaining nearly 29 percent. but since then, the other one is because bodies failed to form a coalition forcing the president to task because with foaming government to hey cases, thoughts each semester, kiko is confident of finding viable solutions within the framework of government negotiations. these are the ones this responsibilities include to i asked him that explicitly is have, i have therefore instructed him to enter into talks with the conservatives to form a federal government. and if you have a kicker, will report to me on the progress of these talks on an ongoing basis. but the prospect of a government backed by the far right is leaving these people nervous about us to

your future direction. we'll strides to the austrian capital wherever we find a gymnast steve chide. welcome, steve. i'm how likely is a coalition between the conservative as people's posse. on the far right freedom party increasingly likely harbor chico is eager to go down in history. as austria is the 1st freedom party, chancellor, and the people's party is rather desperate to avoid fresh election. so the positions are clear for the negotiating parties, and then the parties actually have a lot of common ground, particularly on the economy. the economic performance in australia is rather dismal at the moment. so policy wise, the common ground is there. it is widely expected that they will reach a coalition agreement. so one prominence, people's party negotiators that he's not willing to sell his soul. but people pretty much believe this is going to go ahead. so just explain to us how it says

that the conservatives of people's party, like the other mainstream parties of previously said they would not look with these people now back to ok. now there is a coalition tools. yeah. and even cris dot shaka who will be leading the thoughts for the people's party, has a the sort of as the, i just people say in german. he jumped over his own shadow so sorry, holding his notice. he's going into these thoughts because the allure of power being in government. this is just so here is this simply attractive. now, um, so many politicians are doing complete one eighty's on their personal opinions, the personal feelings about care, but take a look and self and they're saying, okay, a coalition. now all of the sudden is within reach and they're willing to forget the things they said, the things they thought they said out loud in the past about never take a look. and the freedom party and entry negotiations for this coalition schedule does become boss just next time. so that's tell us about the impact that's likely

to have an austrian politics. it will be profound. we are talking about a right wing populist from the freedom party coming into power being the chancellor of austria for the 1st time in the history of the 2nd republican austria just to provide some comment to or that i think a lot of the level viewers will understand every take a looks across the board or to hungry for inspiration in picked up or by. he sees him as a bit of a, a role model. so if you ever take a, becomes the chancellor of austria, you're looking at much less emigration, much less. you policy, they are you skeptics, you're looking at things like a much less critical line on russia and, you know, setting a very critical line against the media in particular and shutting down oppositional voices in australia will be perfect. we saw at the bus stop protesters out on the

streets of vienna. i'm talk us through the consent. there is a genuine fear in the air about a right wing populace being elevated to the position of chancellor in the country as we saw in your report. there are echoes of the past, austria, like germany, has an immense responsibility to overcome the past and deal with the whole the costs. and the reality is it is that the freedom party has been home. the home for political home of, of apologise, deniers of the whole across from so those voices exist there and they've embraced those elements with an austrian society. and it is just unbelievable for people that this party with this leader will now be the face of the country. political science, they've done this, steve chide and then we'll take

a look at some old stories making headlines around the world with stuff in south korea where anti corruption investigations is seeking to extend an arrest warrant for the peach presence you. and so your, after it expired on monday investigates, has failed. the 2nd went across the day following the stand off with the presidential security service. former french president nicholas so cozy has got on trial in paris over i'm alleged corrupt deal with before my libyan lead. i'm on my the bama a good daffy. charges include passive corruption, illegal campaign financing concealment to be the best moments of public funds and criminal association. mr. suckers, the denies the charge of trying to show you the last 3 times prime minister at chicago. issue about half of the united states to east concerns of a future investment. to nip on steels, big to buy us steel was blocked by president buys. and last week,

president biden's decision has cost tension between the 2 i as the secretary state and to be thinking is to, to visit japan this week. it's a joint session of the us congress is meeting to certified donald trump victory in november's presidential election. that is also the 4th anniversary of the storming of the us capital building. and supporters of donald trump tried to stop jo by them . certification is when of the 2020 election. mr. trump has promised to pop many of those jobs with criminal offenses that day. 2 weeks before he takes off his again, here's a look of what that could mean for the defendants. i'm city, walk or say, january 6th, 2021, and the sultan democracy. as a mob summoned by president donald trump storm cus, capital building. for people among the crowd died, 5 police officers were dead within days. the vice president and leaders of the

senate and house narrowly escaped as intruders round the halls. the biggest investigation in the history of the us justice department followed. more than 1500 people were arrested on charges ranging from a salting police to trespassing to obstructing official proceedings. more than a 1000 had pled guilty and more than 250 had been convicted in court while other trials and arrests continue. some of the riders became prominent figures like the so called q a non sherman and the man who put his feet up on how speaker nancy pelosi is desk. both were sentenced to years in prison. now thanks to donald trump taking office again, they could soon be free, while others could see charges dropped. trump has promised to pardon the riders on day one, using the legal system, his constitutional power to grant pardons, to overturn efforts to hold people accountable for trying to override an election.

it was even part of his campaign. as you par, what's gonna happen? oh, absolutely. i would you wouldn't mind if there is, i would find them. trump is called those arrested hostages. and during his campaign regularly played enhanced them by the so called january 6th prison choir. but trump has been vague about exactly who will get a pardon. he's never promised to pardon everyone who was charged that day and recently said he wouldn't pardon people who were quote, radical or crazy. trump could issue a blanket pardon for those charged with specific offenses like trespassing. but he said he'll be looking into individual cases, which would take time it's also unclear what he'll do about the highest profile. convicts leaders are far right. organizations like the oath keepers and the proud boys who were convicted for encouraging their followers to take part from statements have left many questions on answered.

but his day one promise is clear. pardoning those who tried to keep him in office against the will of the voters is a priority. let's pick up some of those questions with james robin out, who is a presidential historian lawyer. i'm partner at thomas hines, business litigation practice group. you joins us from ohio in the united states. welcome to dw. so what do you think do, do you believe the zale presidents, trump will pop and all these uh, january 6th rises. i think he's, he's going to do one of 2 things. he's either going to have a blanket pardon for all of them, or they're going to look at certain people who could be pardoned. and some who cannot. i mean, some of those who are convicted were, you know, guilty of violence against police officers. and those people i think,

may not be included, but it's hard to tell it he, he hasn't really set for sure which way he go. but it's going to be one of those 2 ways and, and frankly it, it goes back to the jimmy carter who just passed away on his 1st day in office, pardon all of the people who are the bait of the draft during the vietnam war. and so there was a blanket pardon and it was within his hour just as it is within trump's power to pardon these people. and what is the benefit to president trump of doing this is a 2nd to presidency, has nothing to to lose or perhaps to gary? yeah, there to me is a very difficult time in the united states. there are a lot of people who are really upset about this election upset that the people would let him come back to office after what happened on january 6th in particular . and there are structural reasons that that happens. but um, for him,

it is all about justifying his laws and saying these people did nothing wrong. well, in fact, they did something very wrong. it was an insurrection against an election. and it was one of the great crimes of american history. so it's a, it may help him out personally to feel that he's been dictated by all this but history. i don't think we'll look kindly on this. okay. so some of the interaction is coming out says jail. he's also said that some members of the house committee of and investigate the january 6th attack should go to jail best lots of concerns that he's going to try and to the justice department on his political. and adam is all the checks and balances a place to prevent that as well. you ask a very good question and it's a complicated answer. but let me see if i can make it somewhat simple. the united

states constitution provides that every state has 2 senators, whether you're small or large. so california has 40000000 residents has 2 senators, wyoming who has 500000, has 2 senators. and the problem is when they created the constitution, they made that a provision that no one could amend. so we've got a senate that didn't act in the interest of the majority of the people when donald trump was in peach the 2nd time for january 6th. it was a political crime, it was exactly the type of high crime or misdemeanor that the founders meant would be enacted if someone did something like this. and instead, the senate, which is representing a minority of the people in this country, voted to not convict him. once that happened, then he was able to still run again. had he been convicted, he would not have been able to run again. so we've got this situation where he then

set it up as this is a political problem. and when they went after him for criminal charges, because the senate didn't do what it should have done that begins to look like it's a political prosecution. and now tit for tat, he's going to come back and say so why have the right to do that? right? it is the failure of the constitution because of the us. and in the way it's structured a quick what then about how trump has positioned himself ahead of assuming office because he's been very visible. he's been that out to the about. we've seen well leaders going tomorrow logo. what does this tell us? well, it tells us that the people have to, to agree with the reality that this, this vote ended up with him as president united states. as much as we don't like it as much as a whole. bunch of people feel very strongly that this was incorrect. you're going to see today that the democrats will go through a january 6th without a problem,

which is what we need to do. we need to recognize the will of the voters. but, you know, world leaders don't have a choice about who the present united states is. going to be it's going to be donald trump, so they have to and in some way, recognize this. at the same time, there has to be a loyal opposition that strong. and we'll see that mostly in the us house of representatives where it's a very close, you know, both there in, that's going to be the only thing that kind of keeps us between right? having the democracy and flowing into our talkers. thanks. right. so here's through that lawyer on presidential historian james robbins. thank you mister gil. positive united states uh, facing the west winds, a storm for at least a decade on 60000000 americans from kansas to washington dc. a facing major a winter storms moving to 1000 fights have been cancelled, and hundreds of car accidents reported in effected areas. full cost of predicting

heavy snowfall ice storms and blizzard conditions. state of emergency has been declared in 5 states as well as washington dc. so how much was just going to guess i asked meet your ologist, an atmospheric john list, matthew poochie as well. this thing is tracked about 2200 kilometers across the entire united states sitting 1st and essentially us and then march and all the way to the eastern seaboard in kansas and missouri. they saw both a snow storm, a severe snow storm and an ice storm to which significant isaac patients of roughly send me year and a half on top of upwards of 30 plus centimeters worth of snowfall. kansas city international airport shut down for a time due to the severe icing. and they also saw therefore, with the biggest single day snow storm on record. the all that is shifted east causing big time issues of the ohio valley to with upwards of a quarter 1000000 customers without power. and now it's in the mid atlantic giving significance nose here in washington, dc where i am, i guess a,

it's our worst new storm since at least 2022. and looking out the window right now . there's no still coming down and it should come back again. later on today with more right now, as i recall here, i see a bit about this time. if you were always getting bad weather, new stories from the likely state, there's usually flooding or snow in new york. i'm told what's different this year is that this is happening up for the south. so yes, so one thing we're seeing right now is that the snow storm is kind of get a little farther south of typical. we're used to bad weather or the northern us, but every few years getting sir to the cold air that pushes that snow down to the lower latitudes and united states. part of the reason for that is something we call the arctic oscillation. is this figure that basically says how bottled up all the cold areas in the arctic and when the arctic oscillation is positive? it means like the arctics, basically hugging all the cold air and keeping it in. but when that senior goes negative, it's like the r to get kind of releasing its arms, releasing that cold air to the lower latitudes. and right now we have the most

negative arkansas solution since october meeting. it's winter time, there's a lot of cold air up there. we're releasing that down. and it's no surprise. we're seeing heavy snows across the central portions of the united states. okay. no surprise. so do we presume that the, the cities and regions offer pad for these ice storms and blizzards as well? no surprise versus preparation or 2 kind of different things. in this case, one of the tricky elements was that the ice preceded the snow, and often times ice comes down as freezing rain. so the rain comes down as a liquid, then freezes on contact with the ground. when that happens, it washes away any pretty treatment in the roadway, so they've cruise can't really get ahead of it the way they can with snow. and so for that reason, we've seen a hundreds of accidents across kansas, missouri, and even parts of kentucky as well from folks you've ventured out from the roadways thinking, oh, it looks wet in reality. it's not just where it's completely frozen solid. and in fact, yesterday on sunday level time, the state of kansas sent a state wide emergency of alert on phones that kind of activated the emergency

alert system. and basically said, no matter what you do, stay home. unless it's an emergency, don't go anywhere. emergency crews were getting straw stuck, the pilots were getting stuck. and so this is one of those rare times where you get to stay home. you just can't really do anything for about 2436 hours and considering it's getting colder behind the storm. this know designs will stick around for quite some time. thank you for that mastic approach the in washington dc . thank. thank you. on the 6th of january, is it tiffany? for many christians and for some that means and i see plunge symbolizing the baptism of christ and the check capital prod, but also meant briefing of water temperatures of just 3 and a half degrees celsius in the top of river. the benefits of ice paving many but on this day it also supposedly items you'll so that is also known as 3 kings days. where space wise man in bodies

he's reminded i told stories out this hour just intruder says he will resign as kind of his prime minister and lead to the ruling liberal proxy. despising results within his posse, as well as promising approval lightnings, says he'll stay on until the liberals that choose a new lead elsewhere. as president alexander found the balance as tasks. all right, freedom party lead that have it kicked off with forming a new government. i meant to discuss new options following the collapse of co creation tools between main street a set you up to date, so i'll have more will use of the top of the, our next on the w. close up looking at gemini, so fights against the 5 of the trunk, of the, the,

the, the,

it's like a 5 digit job in east fight against drunk game intimidation. to shop the cocaine, a global conflict that has reached europe is now pushing the german states to the fight. over this 1000000000 euro business is escalate the next on d w for me it's important to share and message is strong message that move people and to advocate for women nowadays is i wrong to transform

spaces into vibrant galleries and police and the potential of ought to shape the future female in particular for us is the bridge that connects us free mags in such a minute. on d w the, the sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for but we've got something for you but you will be, we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and

for the future feelings about what's going on in the story. instead of being discussed across the continent, dw, and use africa every friday on the w, the bombings on the streets of germany. for if someone felt so each cap is of goods potty minded, i'm in dolton tonight, explosive and then asked me to live in pens. there should be other shady, the mafia, kind of the kind of guns and then the spelling get gig. now onto the concord and associates done from black male to kidnappings and torture. criminal gangs have unleashed an unprecedented wave of drug related violence due to this class of criminals is so violent that human lives ultimately don't matter. nation. the conflict over the highly lucrative cocaine business is escal.
