nation of law and order. that the make america great again movement was a movement of law and order. so he was in any way condemning the violence without directly addressing those people who actually stormed the united states capitol. donald trump also focusing as we heard in the soundbite on what is going on in the united states capitol these past couple days. that 25th amendment resolution that will be voted on by the house later today, even though the is a very -- is very unlikely to be invoked by the vice president mike pence. there is that impeachment vote coming up probably this wednesday. we heard donald trump saying he felt it was a continuation of the witchhunt that started more than a year ago with that first impeachment process. but the president doubling down.

officers, as well as felony murder. they specified one thing we have not heard too much about, that some of the charges and some of the investigations were focused on the assault on members of the media because several journalists, several of our colleagues, whether inside the capitol or outside were assaulted, their equipment destroyed. there was even a noose made out of tv cables that was hanged by a live shot position of some of our colleagues. the fbi said they were also investigating attacks on the media. >> indeed. donald trump has referred to the media as public enemy number one. because they will not say what he wants them to say. thank you, watching all developments for us there in washington. donald trump on that visit to texas spoke earlier at alamo. thank you very much indeed.

the chinese ambassador to the united nations said both governments should stay out of its internal affairs. it has repeatedly denied its allegations against it. the main industry affected here is fashion and textiles. about 85% of china's cotton comes from the province. that is about 20% of the global supply of cotton for clothing brands all around the world. there will now be growing pressure on brands around the world to be more transparent about where their materials come from. a british retailer among those that we know to use -- among those vowing not to use any products that come from that province. >> back to business in the supreme court. it has handed a victory to farmers who have been striking over the new reforms in the agricultural sector. >> farmers have been protesting for about two months over reforms that they say will leave
