berlin. not taking the blame. u.s. president down from said he was not responsible for -- donald trump said he was not responsible for the right at the capitol . the democrats have renewed their push to remove him immediately otherwise face impeachment a second time.

also, a black box was found for the plane crash over the java c. many doctors and nurses are skeptical about getting vaccinated against the coronavirus despite first-hand experience of how deadly the virus can be. we will ask health care workers why the reluctance. i am brent goff. two reviewers on pbs, in the united states and around the world, bochum. -- tw -- to our viewers on pbs, in the united states and around the world, welcome. trump has flown from washington to texas where he is planning to review progress on the border wall with mexico.

for leaving, he spoke to reporters for the first time since last week passed violence. the president lashed out at house -- last week's violence. he committed to a smooth transition of power. >> we want no violence, never violence. we want no violence. on the impeachment, it is a continuation of the greatest witchhunt in the of politics. it is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. this impeachment is causing tremendous anger and you're doing it and it is a terrible thing that they are doing. for nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to continue on this path, i think it is causing tremendous danger to our country and it is causing tremendous anger. i want no violence. thank you. >> the u.s. president has now

arrived in texas. he is expected to speak again from the u.s. mexico border. the president was very defiant as he was speaking to reporters. >>'s took him days to speak. he made his first public statement in person. he wants no violence. when he was pressed about a second possible impeachment, he reverted back to his statement, saying this is the greatest witchhunt in history and also insinuated that this impeachment might cause more violence. brent: the president also has

big tech on his side. what is the story there? >> taking response ability for his actions last week, he blamed big tech for the anger of his supporters. specifically relating to his social media account being suspended. he told touthe capitol was totally appropriate and then he did what he talked about other riots like pittsburgh and tried to draw the attention to violent black lives matter protests or so-called antifa supporters. brent: he said his comments last we were appropriate or his comments today, in light of that. are they likely to incite further action from his followers?

>> yes, he said he does not want any more violence. the house will vote to impeach him tomorrow. he is constantly changing his political tactics. even if he repeats and asks supporters to -- this might be too little too late. brent: all right. eunice, thank you. in the aftermath of the u.s. capitol riot, germany's biggest lender, deutsche bank says it will no longer do business with president trump and his companies. that is according to a report in

the new york times. doshi bank is the biggest lender to the trump organization. the bank is also the focus of a financial crimes probe against donald trump. a spokesman for the bank declined to comment on today's report. in -- indonesian navy divers have recovered the black box on the seabed north of jakarta. divers are searching for the cockpit voice recording. this will help them determine what caused the boeing 737 to come down. there was no emergency call or any reports of technical problems. lots of questions there. it is good to see you again. what will investigators learn

from the recder? they also had 160 helicopters.

this is a very large recovery operation. brent: is there a working theory at the moment about the likely cause of the crash? >> you have to look at the data so far. this is pu speculation. there is an official investigation going on right now. there are also some very brilliant minds on this one. basically, this aircraft fell out of the sky. it went 10,000 feet in under a minute. that went straight down into the ocean. what is not ruled out -- there might be sabotage. however, another thing that has emerged tonight, this aircraft was in storage since last march. i only recently came back, this is because of the coronavirus outbreak. the aircraft was stored, brought back in.

we need to think about that because there are many hundreds of aircraft going through a similar process at the moment. brent: mh has been made. >> in asia, why is flying there so safe? >> the mere fact that this was raised after the boeing max 8, there is an air crash there and all lives were lost. they have actually raised their game. the world is looking at innesia. they have tried to pull it around.

they had a rop safety record. this particular incident is a boeing 737 -- 500. it is aery reliable and sturdy aircraft. the mission is 26 years old. it has all the components renewed on a regular basis. hopefully we will have some answers tohis ver shortly when they recover the second lobox. they are not really black. they are painted day-glo orange. brent: we appreciate your time and your insights, tonight. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. one of the richest men in the world, he has died at the age of 87. he was a powerful supporter of u.s. president donald trump and

benjamin netanyahu. las vegas sands became the biggest casino company. uganda's opposition front runner has warned of possible vote-rigging. the singer turned politician is the main challenger to longtime leader, he was seeking a sixth term. authorities have ordered internet providers to shutdown down social media ahead of thursday's poll. these were controversial new farming laws in india. the laws benefit large, private buyers at the expense of producers. nearly 60% of india's population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. >> for these farmers, so much is at stake. their livelihoods, their future. now, a cautious eye of relief as possible.

especially from those in northern india. the judges have suspended a controversial reform of agricultural loss. at least for now. after several rounds of talks between the government and farmers unions failed, an independent committee is set to mediate. but the relief is muted at the protest camps. they were set up on the outskirts of delhi. the court decision does not address the farmer grievances or demands. >> the prime minister is not even rejecting this. >> if this up in court thinks that the farm laws have now been suspended, the farmers who are protesting along those borders will call off the protest and leave. then we would like to say that we would not leave until all three farm laws are provoked.

the three farm bills are aimed at liberalizing the market. farmers fear this could mean an end to guarantee prices for certain crops. >> you are watching dw news, live from berlin. still to come, striking a pose in wuhan. the city was once the epicenter of the global pandemic. we will meet the dancers that say that experience gave them a whole new appreciation for what they are seeing there. the drugmaker, astrazeneca has applied for authorization for its coronavirus vaccine to be used in the european union. if approved, the drug developed with oxford university would become the third available vaccine following the pfizer biontech and moderna vaccine. they are accelerating the

approval procedure. a decision could be reached by the end of the month. meanwhile, the premier of the german state of bavaria has -- the call comes as many medical professionals are openly questioning whether or not to get inoculated despite their proximity to the virus's danger. a hospital in berlin was visited to find out why the reluctance. >> putting on protective gear before entering the room of a covid patient. he has been working with corona patients for months now and knows how important it is to protect himself. >> every day, i see people dying from corona. i see how patients are suffering. how seriously ill they have

become because of this virus. that is why i would definitely like to be vaccinated against it. i also have duty of care against the public. but not all doctors and nurses in germany share this opinion. this nurse is not against vaccination in general but when it comes to the corona jab, she said she would rather wait and see. >> i am still very cautious when it comes to the vaccine. i am still a bit afraid of it because it has not been around for a very long time. i cannot say i am 100% convinced of it right now. skepticism about the jab is not rare. the savvy of the german society for intensive care medice showed that one in four doctors

and one into nurses do not want to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. that may have changed now that the vaccination process started. the health minister has appealed to nurses and doctors once again. more information about the corona vaccination is therefore planned to be provided and more information is also what the nurse would like to see. with that, she would likely be totally convinced. >> tonight, we want to bring in frank, the chairman of the world medical association. it is great to have you on the program. nurses are on the frontline of this pandemic, they have seen

how deadly this virus can be. many in germany seem reluctant about getting vaccinated. do you have an explanati? >> yes, in se countries, you had emergency uses of the vaccinations. we had a sped up authorization process and this raises concerns in people that not believe the rules of the declation of helsinki which -- i can only assure them that they have been followed and everything authorized is a safe vaccine. they can take it without any hesitancy. brent: we understand that you for all medical staff. that would include those nurses who do not trust this vaccine. is that correct?

>> i would look at it from a different angle. i would say it is a moral obligation. if i want to treat patients from a vulnerable group, people with risk factors, then i have to secure myself. it is a moral obligation for me to get vaccinated. i think they should not treat these types of patients who do not want to get the jab. it is not compulsory or mandatory vaccination, it is more or less taking it from the other side. you have to be morally safe to treat your patients. having had the disease yourself for having had the jab. brent: some nurses say i'm not going to take the vaccine.

you have a problem there because we hear a lot in germany that there are far too few nurses and if you make it mandatory, you're going to scare away even mo. >> yes, i agree but we have to look into our responsibility. we don't have enough vaccine yet. this will be a discussion over the next month. i simply appeal to all my fellow colleagues and the nurses and all the other health care professionals to remember the moral obligations and take the vaccinations themselves. brent: what about the entire population? do we need to make the

coronavirus vaccine mandatory for everyone? >> that is a very complicad question because in germany, we have a high rate of complete anti-fax. about 15 -- anti-vaxxers. about 15% of the population will not take it for misunderstandings. the more vaccination we have, the less economic lock downs we have. if we have a high vaccination rate, we can afford more economic openness and the economy can allow more things to be possible. there is an aggressive protocol effect on this. we will essentially discuss

mandatory vaccination. brent: that is a very good point. there are many vaccines that are required. you mentioned when there are enough of the vaccines for against the coronavirus, that is a problem here in germany. we also learned today that this new coronavirus variant from south africa has been detected here in germany. if you put all that together, isn't that reason enough to accelerate vaccinations nationwide? >> definitely. we would be happy to accelerate it. there was definitely a shortage of vaccine around. some of the international companies like pfizer have sd

this. we have to look into that. present te, we have t build up plants and factoes to produce this vaccine. we have to assure that within the next 12 months, we wld vaccinat everyone who was willing to be vaccinated in this pulation. at present, we have to -- we have to make sure we get as much vaccine as possible from differentompaes, through different biological processes. they are completifferent types of vaccines around. at present time, we only have mrna vaccines. then we will have other conventional vaccines and then we will speed up the process. brent: i think a lot of people are hoping that exhilaration will come sooner rather than later. mr. montgomery, we appreciate your time and your insight, tonight. thank you.

now for a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic, the german tablet newspaper says that angela merkel has told her party to expect another eight or 10 weeks of tough coronavirus restrictions. germany has received its first supplies of the moderna vaccine. 2 million doses should be available by the end of march. the world health organization's warning that herd immunity will not be achieved by the end of the air, even if vaccine makers increase production. the israeli government is to ensure holocaust survivors around the road are given the vaccine. health workers can immunize survivors in their homes. china says experts from the world health organization are due in the country later this week to investigate the origins of covid-19. the who has long pressed for this mission. beijing has faced international

they have gained new importance when wuhan endured a grueling 76 day lockdown and experienced china's heaviest death toll from covid-19. >> during the pandemic, a few of my friends and i would practice with each other online, in our beds. we would start doing vogue i bed. we can only practice from a distance because during that time, everyone was at home and could not go out. he crew shot a promotional video for voting to popularize in china, the dance that has become a part of their identity. they say the experience of the pandemic has taught them some valuable lessons. >> now, after the pandemic, i feel vogue dancing has given me a lot of emotional support.

it made me realize that we need to seize every minute and every second to be who we are. we have to cherish ourselves and live a more fulfilling life. only when you dance like this will you truly feel that your soul belongs to you. there is a feeling of letting yourself go and just being yourself. i like this feeling very much. brent: there is growing up -- opposition to cohosting this ice hockey will championship, following president aleksandr lukashenko's poodle crackdown against opposition protest. the president had a big hug ready for international ice hockey chief in minsk on monday. , sing a safe and secure tournament. -- promising a safe and secure tournament. he hoped that the chamber ship
