they were pleased to look up to. let's come together impeach the president not just about impeachment anymore it's about canceling it he is a clear and present danger the u.s. house of representatives votes to impeach president trump for the 2nd time off an impassioned debate while many on the floor called white to see the back of him some didn't seem vengeful undertones behind the movie. then torched hundreds of rice's set of brussels police station on the map you can read she in custody and germany records a record number of daily related deaths in the street to not die measures are imposed and concerns grow that vaccinations are not rolling average quickly enough

. oh good afternoon just gone 4 o'clock in moscow you're watching the international that often intense and sometimes for the debate the u.s. house of representatives impinged on for a 2nd time despite the fact that he leaves office in a week he is accused of financing last week's riots at the capitol building almost $200.00 congress members came out against the vote while giving it's no longer about justice but revenge. donald trump is the most dangerous man to ever occupy the oval office this is so dangerous what you're doing that tyrant president they want to cancel the president he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love houses action today will

only extend the division longer than necessary let's come together impeach the president for this high crime against the republic you don't merely seek victory but you seek obliteration of your nemesis but it's now up to the senate to decide whether to indict trump on charges of inciting sarette action despite democratic party calls the agency it seems they will not take place before the president leaves office on january 20th that doesn't mean trump be affected by its decision could ban him from ever taking office again nor expert challenge phrase explains now how this could all determine trump's long term. since he will have already concluded his charm what conviction in the senate would do is open the door to an additional vote on a majority basis only determine whether or not he would be banned from. future public office and i think the odds are very high that that goal would be successful

if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished an actual conviction in the son in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no bar he can't be pardoned for it at the federal level and if the state of new york for instance were to decide that they were going to proceed forward with indictment in trial he would get his day in court just like you know the defendant. members were preparing for their impeachment debates these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops sleeping on the floor in the capitol building with many online noting that the seat of government looks more like a military base well these were station sorry they were stationed there around the clock following last week's riots which prompted democrats to go and try to impeach the president in the 1st place your expert charles rose again talks about the options trump has further. it's going to come down to whether or not president

truck chooses to do something that no president has ever done attempt to solve part and which is actually been advised not to do by every legal adviser that he's raised the issue with or he doesn't attempt so or if he does not sell 40 i think the odds are actually lower that he would be prosecuted federally if you sell forward and actually challenging the validity of a so far by the present time i suspect is that the united states is not going to be interested in allowing someone to commit crimes and then pardon themselves are going to go if he so of pardons he almost guarantees a federal prosecution to result that cost or however the so-called obliteration of the president isn't just political won't internet johnson continuing to purge him from many platforms but snap chat the latest to permanently ban the president's the kind drums businesses are being targeted to despite his supporters questioning the

validity of the measure is what it counts the if takes a close enough. undermining an elected president you don't like is called politics just how things up censoring him and denying the president a voice that's just plain petty that's what it's called and then to go after his business interests just out of spite that's out and out council culture the politically correct acceptable face of hatred here to announce that the city of new york is severing hall contracts with the trump organization if a company in the leadership of that company is engaged in criminal activity we have the right to sever the contract it's happening on every level local governments like new york which now has a problem with trump running the. will carrot sells and ice rings businesses also

appointing him towards the door shutting down his online stores for example even the banks of bailing out ruling out future ties on trump accounts worth millions we witnessed the president of the united states encouraging the rights is a new freedom from call in the national guards to protect the congress emus before . violence has no place in our society and the scenes that we witnessed are a shame on the whole nation the sports world is no exception to add insult to injury they're good enough to trump's pastor his goal for the professional golfers association is stripping the president's cherished bedminster golf course of who stayed in the 2022 p.g.a. championship which trump has apparently spent millions preparing for but that's the price of going against the flow nowadays if you don't say what people like to hear

you're going to have a bad heart. it won't just be you your nearest and dearest get sucked in to pretty much everyone who depends on you will live in the age of cancel culture but this isn't something the start of this week it is something that they have been doing to us in others for years if you disagree with them if they don't like you they try and cancel you. trump's presidency was undoubtedly divisive this is a person you either hate who you love you may feel that he deserves all of this you may feel it's are justified but you can't deny that he's left to mock that he was the president or well turns out you can add i'm working on a bill that would mean that nothing not even a bench no airport no highway no school nothing ever bad the name of this traitor it's about pure hate the social media driven revenge and this is the lowest level

of any kind of political discourse that i have ever see it's not in any way surprising that these groups because they don't have a real arguments are going to try to sort of go around the thing it's kind of like if you're in a debate with a person where you have no chance of winning a debate you just turn off the electricity so that nobody has a microphone that's what we're seeing over here when you treat the other side as if they're not just people that you disagree with but people who you view as your enemy you will make them your enemy and right now the democrats have made themselves 74000000 enemies maybe even more than that i don't know and when you do that you create divides in the country you create hostility you create violence and we have not seen the end of this this is not something being created by trump's the bastid this is somebody else something being created by the fact that so many people feel silenced and deep platforms by left wing media both social and

traditional. meanwhile the man behind the social network taken offline during the white backlash against donald trump says we may never return paula felt the full force of the internet is when its app was pulled from apple and google is up still then amazon also pulled the plug on hosting the service it sold itself as a free speech powerful. became a haven for outspoken conservatives many of whom had already been booted off twitter and facebook amazon says it had been warning the site about violent content since last november poll is now suing over being taken offline but the decision by the big tech to silence trump parlor as call shivers on both sides of the political divide with more his party. be honest but not too honest because that is dangerous nowadays do you like me feel so bitter

shudder and freud or maybe you just saw my old or chuckled to yourselves when you heard the donald trump had been permanently kicked off twitter yet to quote everyone's favorite. big mistake huge so on the face of it trump was banned for the glorification of violence but banning a sitting president from twitter feels a little bit like the thin end of the way just because loads of liberals agree with it and love the fact that it's happened doesn't mean that it's right and in fact risks us all sleepwalking into 19 eighty-four apparently twitter was compelled to ban the orange one for his rabble rousing michelle obama express to her discussed his lawn and strips behavior which suggests that the trial could have been colored with a touch of political motivation running

a sitting president no matter what he says feels. problematic especially when all the tech giants have just donated money to joe biden's welcome back to the white house party but all that was ok because 3 days ago anyone. would have just said well that's where i'll just go to paul or instead. again big mistake huge huge you could have had these 2 alternate echo chambers left versus right just as tragically blind to each other as they are in real life the self-righteous twitter r.t. versus the capital radio but now apple and google play. they have banned from the platforms and is the final blow to free speech imus then has refused to host stats which means that freedom of expression. lies and it may sometimes be

is now well and truly shot down. we go then i understood writers have smashed the windows of a brussels police station and then set it on fire over the death of a young immigrant while in custody was protestors hired to take into the streets demanding further investigation of the death of an african migrants at a police department officers she was forced to disperse the crowds the victim's family lawyer says that the authorities have questions to answer. it brit hume of films the actions of the police on camera he used his civil rights to film the police human rights organizations have long insisted that there is such a right to film the police on camera the police got annoyed in the end they decided

to imprison him during the search he lost consciousness and nothing happened he was left for dead this prompted the crown attorney to open an investigation into the manslaughter charge when people ask me alexey do you think it happened because he is black and foreign i don't know what i should answer because i know one thing probably with my son he is blind in the same age this would not have happened and this is unacceptable i have no words no respect no dignity and no humanity. well the 23 year old known as he was detained on saturday evening reportedly wa filming police officers on his smartphone as we heard he lost consciousness at a police department and was taken to hospital but doctors were unable to save him the cause of death is not yet known police said that the man was detained for violating pandemic lockdown curfew so they were post-mortem established that he

died before they could if you came into place protesters are now demanding justice . was like a brother to me it's almost like we were family so i have the right to be outraged because we're talking about the death of a human being here and we think it is totally normal for people to be outraged a group doing that is the main reason why we're here and the 2nd reason is that we demand justice justice must be done a lot of aspects are still good regarding the circumstances. germany has suffered a record number of cope with related deaths in a single day with a virus claiming more than 1200 lives on wednesday 25000 people were also newly diagnosed with the disease it one german city a funeral provider has had to install 7 refrigerator containers because of the growing need to store the deceased during the 2nd wave of 19 a mentor and says it has the capacity to deal with 15 services

a day but demand is currently double that germany insists it's geared up for mass vaccination but ministers are being forced to defend themselves against criticism that the rollout is too slow movement restrictions are also being tightened to try and stem the rise in infections. but it is a situation being echoed elsewhere in europe to as peter oliver explains. any hopes of germany lifting its coded 19 restrictions at the end of this month the beginning of february were dashed on wednesday a cabinet meeting of angular merkel's government decided that there would be some restrictions remaining in place for the forseeable future in fact the restrictions would be tightened and toughened when it came to people arriving into the country this is an attempt to try and stop the spread of new strains of the covert 1000 virus that we've seen pop up in the united kingdom in brazil and in south africa

what we have seen though is the vaccine tait it touted as the well the solution to a lot of problems the health minister yen spahn said that he was happy with the european union's one for all and all for one vaccine plan in its entirety some of raise the question in recent days if it was right to take the european path in terms of vaccine procurement let me see these clearly yes it is right there we're back to european to european partners in the best interest of germany and of its citizens as the dogs but there is criticism among politicians of the way the vaccines have being doled out christian littler of the free democrats saying it just hasn't been done quick enough and that needs to change the item or not you could and should have prepared to start a vaccination campaign months ago in reality the logistics and the peace of the program are shameful when the chancellor said yesterday enough vaccines will be available in the 2nd half of the year which shows the start of the campaign was

botched grim images from nuremberg because the realities of covert 19 as seen in pictures of 5 refrigerated containers at a crime a tory him in the bavarian city funeral services there of been overwhelmed by the numbers who have succumbed to cold at 19 while in the united kingdom what we're seeing is hotels being. placed on standby in order to take on emergency covert patients as well the health care system creaks under the weight of just how many people are coming to it for help because there's a bit of concern in everyone. there's a bit of the law. we didn't expect if we could. reduce support and promote. it. all across europe it seems to be a major restrictions being beefed up or extended portugal has said that they will be

having a new lockdown italy is going to extend the state of emergency that exists in that country in switzerland the nation it was criticized for keeping ski slopes open over christmas and new year they're going to have to bring in new tougher their regulations in order to tackle the influx saw the potential influx of these mutant strains from brought down the dutch saying that they will be extending their current lockdown measures through to the middle of february the vaccine is shining hope however getting it into people's arms isn't happening fast enough for many the united kingdom has been an outlier amongst other european nations of course it's no longer a member of the e.u. though they've paxson ated around 5 percent of the population inside the e.u. looking at italy with around 2 percent germany only one percent and that is why

people are calling for well a faster reaction a faster response to getting that vaccine into people's arms in the hopes that as soon as that's done we can start loosening some of the restrictions that are upon us. now the u.s. president elect joe biden has chosen who he wants to run the federal international aid agency otherwise known as usaid samantha power previously served on the national security council and was barack obama's u.n. envoy reading his choice biden explained why he wants power on his team. it's one of our country's most respected voices on humanitarian issues and i have seen both her passion counter-proof skills firsthand there could be no one no one more qualified to lead those efforts samantha. were during her previous high profile government jobs though power has faced a string of ethical questions from her critics she pushed for she pushed for military intervention in libya on humanitarian grounds during the civil war that

navy a decade ago she was also a strong supporter of u.s. involvement in syria and yemen both of which have suffered a subsequent humanitarian crisis she says she's in the right she is the right person to lead washington's mission to improve the world the united states has a chance to partner with and support people who are on the front lines in battling covert who are trying to build climate resilience who are standing up for the rule of law. standing up against inequality and trying to create more just societies humanitarian support democracy assistance economic development those are not nice to have in our foreign policy tool box they are critical. of pentagon analyst michael maloof does predict the aid agency is in line for a major upgrade as a foreign policy tool for biden. well her position is actually accorded to biden is

going to be elevated to the national security council level so that gives an added importance as to how foreign aid will be used and humanitarian assistance will be used as a guiding light or a common foreign policy under biden it also shows that we might even go ahead and so far and weaponize that given. samantha powers previous experience and written recommendations to then vice president biden and to obama the president libya was it was one of those outcomes yemen was a letter so if we if we need humanitarian assistance or. and coupled with that with the human rights advocacy and insists upon that in any assistance that we give. does that mean that we're going to go ahead and shoot it into people's heads again so this is

a her elevation like this raises some important questions as to just to what extent foreign policy or foreign assistance will be used as a foreign policy weapon as opposed to give an absolute assistance in the future. world health organization to a measure arrived in china as we hand providence the area where the corona virus was 1st detected in late 2019 they are there to try and establish the origins of the virus scientists have been approved by the chinese government will interview paper from research institutes and hospitals it will save the free market which was linked to the initial outbreak however before they can begin their work for scientists will have to undergo a 2 week quarantine 2 of the taking to stay behind because they tested positive experts believe it is a long journey had before there is a full understanding of how to be corona virus back.

meanwhile hosting the olympics is usually a source of immense national pride and a chance to open your city to the world but feelings are very different right now in tokyo which is g.-u. to stage the delayed summer games in july and there's no medal for guessing why. let's just say this i don't think it can be done in a safe environment this coming summer in a very uneasy situation i hope it can be postponed it's scary to do it in the current situation in. sports or europe that i'm. looking i'm still me if it's all the athletes or like say i agree in favor of that

however after all this time i don't think it will be good to spread the infection of coronavirus further since the state of emergency was an els to the soccer in tokyo i think it's a bit contradictory milkha. bhaag it was ok i think i am for holding the games here to help people hold the olympics after taking sufficient measures against infections after all i think people are cheered up by the olympics. before we go we have got time to show you one of nature's most spectacular light show is from the perfect vantage point because here's how the northern lights looks from space it is a speeded up video taken from the international space station 7 minutes of flight

in just 15 seconds here before welcoming the sunrise over the north atlantic the characteristic flash of grain caused by the sun's magnetic race is seen shining above the arctic so. that brings you up late that's how the news is looking so far not a while back again as usual. at the top of. that talk about a word that means different things to different people depending on where you live what area you live what school you went to that war is inflation. nuclear power blah and so become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's

a very dangerous oh no claire power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is for power lies with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle on r.t. . the world is driven by shaped by phone person. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

welcome to the alex salmond show from scotland where we talk once again to the dominating issue of the day the vice of nation program is no underway but the new video coronavirus is a rampant particularly in the south of england but across the 4 nations of the united kingdom today we turn to our panel of experts to us them about this race between the vaccine and the virus dr chris both of cambridge university those are

all just who told us over a year ago in this program that we faced the greatest public health challenge of our lifetime we ask him can we win that race and they don't talk about it but kind of an extra you divest tells us from has to be done no in terms of public health measures to stop that and that chest being overwhelmed before the vaccine arrives the 1st the to sabrina with your comments on last week's show and it's fun starts your last week pitching 7th cable and our daffy wakely tom platt says vince and i out of the same sunny summer to each i met tim in the big 1960 s. before he became famous we were near neighbors i've always find it hard to disagree with a few of his views i have disagreed with they are still reasonably expressed such talents are tremendous asset to a politician he is not so up to mystic about the liberal democrats picture electoral success and says one m.p. for the lib dems is their prospect and

a sponsor large weekly's prediction that support for welsh independence will crew if they can't have a utopian future within the united kingdom matthew says didn't will fall for breaks it is wealth sure you can see that if it was scottish or northern irish independence you're talking about but this is a by wales which also voted for bricks that. logically of course went on in his interview to say that he thought scotland would indeed ditch westminster rule and he anticipated the reunification of ireland to which bob says i really hope boris says he can't do it anymore and he has to drop scotland to northern ireland to look after himself and finally learn a shot says just like clockwork the alex salmond sure gives us constant in these waiting times thank you both says lorna now almost a year ago when present trump was making fun of the vitus and prime minister boris johnson wasn't even attending quick briefing meetings at gaining st on this show dr christmas predicted there was going to be equal pandemic what you potentially got

is something which while it's less lethal than sols is much more infectious than cells and about as lethal as the 1918 flu pandemic and everyone susceptible to this like they were for the 918 spanish flu pandemic so if this were allowed to escape and go to its logical conclusion one possibility one worst case scenario is it could be as bad as 1918 today alex take forward that discussion about the race between the vaccine and the virus dr chris murphy welcome back to the i like salmon sure it's a pleasure thanks for having me back and happy new year you were one of the 1st people to a dent to fire the scale of the public health challenge that was faced with this virus almost a year ago on the shore no in this year or 2021 are we sure that the vaccine cavalry is going to come over the hill or the still dangerous to come. i think there are still some.
