the, the, the state of the news life of the land, the us congress, suffice donald trump's presidential election victory. the votes for president of the united states are as follows: donald j trump, of the state of florida, has received 312 folks. drive a commer, how this concerns with the drums when out of the joint session of congress box on here. since a mom with trump support has stolen the capital in a bit to prevent jo biden's presidential election victory from things that also on the program kind of as prime minister assistance resignation. justin showed us says he'll step aside as leads of the ruling liberal policy. but will stay in office

until the success that he's chosen. austria's father, right, and she's close to power. how about kit gold? who leads the far right freedom proxy is asked to form a new government tools between mainstream pauses colors. the i'm so welcome to the program. the us congress has formally certified donald trump's victory in november's presidential election. the house of representatives um send that to convene for a joint session under heavy security inside and outside the capital building, vice president cala harris, who lost to mr. trump in the election, presided over the certification. save 2 tons will take us out of the of office on the 20th of john. well, today is also the full version of the storming of the us capital building. when

trump support has tried to stop, jo bivens certification as window of the 2020 election. mr. trump has promised to pub in many of those jobs with criminal offenses fact day, 2 weeks before he takes office a get, here's a look at what that could mean for the defendants. and for the democracy. january 6th, 2021. and the sold on democracy, as a mob summoned by president donald trump storms, us 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 realm. the halls, the biggest investigation in the history of the us justice department followed more than 1500 people were arrested on charges ranging from assaulting police to trespassing to obstructing official proceedings. more than a 1000 have pled guilty, and more than 250 have been convicted in court while other trials and arrests

continue. some of the writers 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. trumpets promise 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 they're innocent. 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 go straight to the us capital building when we joined. corresponding to benjamin alvaros. that group of welcome ben. it seems calm that

not very different to the scenes. we witnessed a full years ago, so that's right, it is very calm. this area has been called into off because this is a so called national special security event that the highest nominator that the federal government has full events like this. something that we also see, for example, if a d and see if the democratic national convention through republic national convention. so the area has been quoted and off we have not seen any larger group of protesters in favor of mr. trump or against the certification. it was a joint session of congress, as you already mentioned, top in our and after that it was satisfied that donald trump one this election. and it can be also named a little bit as irony that it was a camel. the hire is the vice president, the president of the senate that gave this result. so there are a lot of police officers here, but it's you sad. and as we see also probably with those pictures in

a quite different to the scene set on folders here at 4 years ago and supporters off donald trump tried to in paid the ratification of the election results. and so what the americans think of the president deluxe promises to pause and the riotous so it's definitely a difficult topic also for him, we can imagine that there will be several discussions when he takes office in 2 weeks from now. and also we can expect that there will be a lot of pressure from those family members of those who went into the capital and also was sentenced to high and high years of a prison. that because some of them also had prior convictions. and that's when many say that they won't be a blank apart. and, but of course, many legals are not show many legal experts on how this will unfold, how quickly he can actually is do what he promised to get those people out of jail

. so we can expect also within the republican party that not everyone will be in favor of trumps problem is to pardon all of those who were involved to well. so centers, we know that this is, has been very large investigations, the largest off the history of the department of justice and having a lot of special councils. also they are involved with those cases. but what can expect from the family members of those who went into the capital on january 6th? exactly. if we use it, know that there will be a lot of pressure for them to on the incoming president, a donald trump, to actually execute and pardon those who were in or now in jail. so what they committed for you is it just a quick was a move in on the resistance from his own republican party on the depositing of these insurrection this so that's right,

and that's exactly where all these legal discussions will not happen because it's summer saying that he should look by case by case to see exactly who should be. pardon this, of course, one of the faculties of the president of the united states have we saw it recently, or president bite and decided to pardon his son, son hunter. that's something that he also pledged not to do and the problem is not to pardon it, but he did it. so that's something that the president has, its capacities, but we can expect that there will be discussions within the republican party by how far the president should go. and also when that should happen because it, donald trump, has a lot of promises on what he would do on a day one. also when it comes to other things where he says that he will do them on day one. but he has to look into it varies and organizational family members. it has been a getting all those papers together getting all those names and all spring for those pods on day one. but we can expect that they will be further discussion also with legal experts say the incoming president should look into case by case and not a send out a blank. pardon. okay,

thanks. but ben dw corresponded benjamin alvaros group in washington dc. well james robin a is a presidential historians, lawyer and palm thompson hines, business litigation practice group. i asked him why he expected to do what he expected to happen when trump k comes into office. 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 jimmy carter who just passed away on his 1st day in office, pardon all of the people who are the bait at the draft during the vietnam war. so that 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 the 2nd to the 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 was 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 have man. so we 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 6, 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 a failure of the constitution because of the us and the way it's structured a quick what then about how trump has positioned himself ahead of assuming of face because he's been very visible. he's been 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 boat 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 president 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 size. right. so here's through that lawyer and presidential historian james robbins. thank you mr. gil. i've kind of just just intrude, though, as an honest, that he will resign as prime minister and as had of the liberal party. he said the best internal parties travels. it may be cleary, couldn't that lead the liberals into the coming election. he said he would stay on his prime minister until the party chose his replacement. even the elements went on just intruders side. as he came out to him now his resignation,

i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust, nationwide competitive process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. and it is become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal battles, it cannot be the best option in that election. so just keep those internal bustles suddenly became fall to public for trudeau. last month, when he tried to remote his then finance minister and long time allied, christie, a freeland, she resigned instead of accusing the prime minister, pursuing political gimmicks browser and kind of his best interest. a criticism, a 100 more, i mean, nation to treat those opponents in his own policy. who have been pointing to months of polls showing the liberals on calls for a crushing defeat in upcoming elections for you love. with all 3,

all position parties already promising to topple true does minority administration . when parliament returned from its christmas break news of his resignation came as no surprise you know, to a forklift wavering. it wasn't by themselves. i feel bad. but on the other hand, we need to move forward. i mean, literally the never, i guess i think you probably like you should have resigned over a year ago. it was the right thing, but i wish you just called little action lightly. that would have been, that would have been the better choice. the canadians will now have to wait for a little longer for those elections, parliament to set to remain suspended until march 20 full, to give true days, party time to replace the man who left the country for nearly a decade and north america correspondents. you helped him alone in washington told

me more about the reasons behind just intruders resignation of the, you know, filled. 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 that has emerged 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. 5 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 the united states, 51st dates. so essentially what we are seeing and this resignation is producing 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 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 onto house is 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 all harassing reporter. that's an allegation about tra, go, 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. that 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 there a few names are floating around already. it is not completely clear,

but we've already heard the name of christopher freeland, who i already mentioned earlier. there's also the, the finance minister who replaced christoph freeland. that's dominic leblanc and more carney of 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, at least in the 1st few weeks of the trump administration, that will continue to be throw himself at least until parliament resumes on march 24th. okay, so it's about to janelle, i dw cusp on the janell team alone in washington dc. take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world was talking south korea where unto corruption, investigate just a 2nd to extend an arrest, one for impeached presence or you. and so if you all still have expired. on monday, the investigator has failed to take him into custody from the we have stand off with the president security service a whole month french president nicholas suck. jose has gone on trial in paris of

alleged abrupt deal with the full but libyan leader, mobile good. that fee charges include passive corruption, illegal campaign financing, concealment of embezzlement of public funds and criminal association. mr. south cosy, it denies the chargers, trial, rescheduled for last 3 months last months. bad because of attack on the christmas market in the eastern gym and city of mazda book has claimed a 6 victim police spokes person said the 52 year old woman died of age arisen hospitals around 200. others were injured attack drug for rent. it's a sport utility vehicle to a crab of reference to australia. why the far right freedom party has been asked to form a government as follows. the collapse of coalition talks between centrist potters, the countries president alexander, found the balance has passed the leader of the far right freedom poppy habit tickled with forming

a new government. if he successful austria would have its 1st fall right and the government since the 2nd will these protest i thought and we would be believed would change the course of the country's future. soon the far right feet and 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 interface. dig. what's happening right now was very important for us. i know that a right wing extremists, politician who's calling themselves to people's chancellor fits in the last time someone called themselves that that was adolph hitler, that this person might get a mandate from the government is unacceptable to us, the stones on talk. but it's, we didn't want to wake up in a flash as 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 ones because bodies failed to form a coalition forcing the president the task because with forming 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 exclude 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 if you have a kicker, will report to me in the progress of these talks on an ongoing basis but the prospect of a government backed by the far right is leaving these people notice about us chia future direction. possible winter storms of public parts of the eastern united states after sweeping through the midwest. some areas of seem that heavy snowfall for decades still has been blamed for at least a 3 baths and hundreds of thousands of without the united states as being
