i knew. some of the. one sure deal will. come together impeach the president about just about impeachment anymore it's about canceling it he is a clear and present danger to the u.s. house of representatives voted to impeach president trump for the 2nd time after an impassioned debate while many on the floor can't wait to see the back of him to say it's more about revenge than justice also to come the. vandalised then torched hundreds of writers set of brussels police station on fire after an african immigrant dies in custody and germany recalled a record number of daily related deaths to street to lockdown measures are imposed

and concerns grow to that vaccinations are not being rolled out quickly enough. though good evening 7 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now after an intense and often for the debate the u.s. house of representatives has impeached donald trump for a 2nd time despite the fact he leaves office next week he is accused of financing last week's riots at the capitol building almost $200.00 congress members though did come out against the vote arguing it's no longer about justice but revenge. donald trump is the most dangerous man to ever occupy the oval office there 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 the 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 on charges of inciting an insurrection despite democratic party calls for urgency they it seems the vote not take place before the president leaves office on the 20th of january but that doesn't mean that trump won't be affected by it is the decision could ban him from ever taking office again or expert charles rhodes explains now how this could all determine trump's long term future. since he will have already concluded his term 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 hard that that goal would be successful

if the larger hurdle is 1st accomplished of 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 any of the defendant on the federal potential federal charges is going to come down to whether or not president truck chooses to do something that no president has ever done attempt to solve part of which he's 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 self pardon i think the odds are actually lower that he will be prosecuted federally if you self pardons actually challenging the validity of

a self-starter by the president in my assessment is that the united states is not going to be interested in allowing someone to commit crimes and then pardon themselves or go out the door if he so pardons he almost guarantees a federal prosecution to result that cost. him a washington d.c.'s cover and he ramping up security measures that are ahead of biden's no good it has prompted tesori it is prompted by the fan of more riots following last week still many of the capital by trump supports as the president says those involved will be punished and promised the peaceful transition. there is never a justification for violence those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice in washington d.c. we are bringing in thousands of national guard members. to secure the city and ensure that a transition can occur safely and without incident the efforts to said sir cancel

and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous or trump has got 1st hand experience of being shut out of the online conversation the world's internet giants are continuing to purge the president from their platforms we snap chat the latest to issue a permanent ban trumps businesses rules have been targeted in the backlash but it can see if it takes a closer look undermining an elected president you don't like is called politics just how things are censoring him and denying the president a voice that's just plain petty that's that's what it's called and then to go after his business interests just out of spite that's out and out cancel 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 our 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 local carrier sells and ice rings business is also appointing him towards the door shutting down his online stores for example even the banks bailing out ruling out future ties on trump accounts worth millions we witnessed the president of the united states encouraging the roads 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 passion is golf and part of the professional

golf of the subsea asian 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 and 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 and others for years if you disagree with them if they don't like you they try and cancel the. 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 on justified but you can't deny that he's left to mock that he was

the president oh well turns out you can add i'm working on a bill that would mean that nothing not even a bench know at point no highly no school nothing of a bad name of this traitor it's about pure heady 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 bast ignace this is somebody something being created by the fact that so many people feel silenced and deep platforms by left wing media both social and traditional. talking of which the man behind the social network that was taken offline during the wider backlash against donald trump says that his platform may never return will power felt the full force of the internet's gate keepers when its app was pulled from apple and google as app stores then amazon pulled the plug on hosting the service on its servers parlor had sold itself as a free speech platform and became a haven to for outspoken conservatives many of whom had already been booted off twitter and also facebook amazon said it had been mourning the site about violent

content since last november in part is now suing over being taken offline the decision by big tech to silence trump has called shivers on both sides of the political divide put boyko considers now the implications for free speach. be on just but not too honest because that is dangerous nowadays do you like me feel so bits of show out and for you 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 prostitute. you 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 wedge 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 monstrous 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 call 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 re does right now apple and google play. they have banned from the platforms and is the final blow to free speech imus then has refused to high standards which means that freedom of expression how as unpleasant it may sometimes be is now well and truly shot down. by hundreds of rice is a smash the windows of a brussels police station and then set it on fire over the death of a young immigrant while in custody was the. protesters had taken to the streets demanding further investigation of the death of an african migrants at the police department offices

he 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 blond and the same age this would not have happened and this is unacceptable i have no words no respect no dignity and no humanity.

the 23 year old known as the better he may be was detained on saturday evening for portably while 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 but he said though that the man must attain for violating pandemic lock down curfews but a post-mortem did establish that he died before the curfew protesters are now demanding justice. or was like a brother to me it's almost like we were a 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 being dead 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 still regarding the circumstances. germany

has suffered a wreck or number of 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. in one german city a funeral provider has had to install 7 refrigerated containers because of the growing need to store the deceased during the 2nd wave of code 19 crematory says it has the capacity to deal with 50 services a day but demand is currently double that germany insists is geared up for mass vaccination that ministers are being forced defend themselves against criticism that the rollout is too slow and even restrictions are also being tightened to try and stem the rise of infections well it is a situation being echoed across europe too as peter oliver explained. any hopes of germany lifting its code 19 restriction 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 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 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 home 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 take european partners in the best interest of germany and of its citizens it's adored 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 base 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 'd him in the bavarian city funeral services there of seemed 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 it is a bit uncertain i mean everybody. looks at the end of the line. we didn't expect it to. 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 a you're looking at italy with around 2 percent germany only one percent and not 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. peter all about there were efforts to get europeans on the move touring these coby stricken times are being pushed by the greek prime minister he's calling on the european commission to agree a way through vaccinate to travelers to cross borders throughout the year. it is urgent to adopt a common understanding about how vaccination certificates should be structured so

they can be accepted in all member states coded passports have been mooted in other countries to the danish health ministry is working on a certificate of vaccinated travelers and airlines are also came to get measures in motion survey for shreddies quantities to show that 9 out of 10 people would be willing to get inoculated say they can travel again but it's more than 6 months of discussions around the world of so far led to little in the way of agreement critics who claim to that code passports do discriminate against people who haven't been vaccinated but the chief executive of the world travel and tourism council says that vaccine passports shouldn't be the only option. the dog we weren't sure is totally against health passports ok and we believe that as well because that can lead to discrimination unfortunately the vaccine is not available everywhere learn a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine

don't see the us as the only solution mare's vaccination should not be the only consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where are those the more liberal groups we don't have to wait for a vaccine to travel while at the same time people can still travel as long as g. how for instance if you're coming from on this to nation with high cases of quality to earn this nation with lower cases of course it will be helpful 2 percent and this is where we have a nasty in. a test made up before called the survey you're allowed to board a plane with a test in massive testing implemented before boarding or before flying what we say is a digital certificate or a paper certificate should be fine you only reason why the digital certificate gate is a stronger is because you avoid corruption or you award. fake certificates but a paper certificate should also be fine we believe that

a digital certificate of having a negative best should be fine enough and we told you believe there we have to protect the health information for the traveler and for people in general. we want a world health organization team has now arrived in china as we province is the region where the corona virus was 1st detected in late 2019 there are but they are there to try and establish the origins of cave 19 the scientists who've been approved by the chinese government will interview people from research institutes and hospitals and they will also look at the wet market which was linked to the initial outbreak however before. start work the scientists will have to undergo 2 weeks of quarantine and 2 of the team to stay behind because they tested positive experts believe too there's a long journey ahead before there is a full understanding of how the corona virus came back.

now 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 feeling his choice biden explained why he wants her on his take. is one of our country's most respected voices on humanitarian issues and i have seen both her passion hammer principles firsthand there could be no one no one more qualified those are things that samantha however during her previous high profile government jobs power has faced a string of ethical questions from critics as she did push for military intervention in libya on humanitarian grounds during the civil war there nearly 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 now though she says 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 kovac 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. views of the former pentagon on the list michael maloof ole miss and he does think that u.s. aid will be weaponized as a foreign policy tool under. 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 of our upcoming foreign policy under biden and also shows that we might even go ahead and so far and weaponize that given samantha powers previous experience and read and recommendations to then vice president biden and to obama the president libya was it was one of those outcomes yemen was another so if we if we need humanitarian assistance or. and couple with that would be a human rights advocacy and an insistence upon that in 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 for foreign assistance will be used as a foreign policy weapon as opposed to give an absolute assistance in the future.

now the russian opposition figure connection of alan he could face a spell behind bars when he returns to the country which he plans to do this weekend russia from across the left has more to tell us. 29th of december of last year alex and then by the way is now a wanted man in russia and this has to do with his failure to observe the conditions of a suspended sentence where he was supposed to check in with the prison authorities at least twice a month now something about that conviction he was convicted for stealing money from a french cosmetics company here in russia and your sister supposed to spend $3.00 and a half years behind bars according to prison authorities in their latest statement they did take into consideration the fact that he was treated in a german clinic however they said they noted that he was discharged already back in

september of this have a listen official warnings about the possibility of canceling the conditional sentence and replacing it with a real prison term for each violation by alex you know of only official confirmation of his treatment at a hotel in germany was not provided and the very fact of current rehabilitation procedures is not a reason for the 3 that are to appear for just ration now i'll explain the vinyl he was discharged from a german clinic just a month after the alleged lethal poisoning by a newer agent called moby chalk now while there's still seem to be more questions than answers surrounding his case the finger pointing at russia began long before any of the facts were released which are still to be released now despite such a quick recovery of alexander valley some of the world's leaders continued pressuring russia into a launching a criminal investigation into chemical poisoning often it's

a novel way however russian doctors said they did not find any traces of toxic poisoning or know the chalkboard sitting in the system hence the criminal element investigate. here in russia could not distorted meanwhile at the same level they himself claims that he was poisoned by a russian f.s.b. officers and they were giving orders directly by the russian president. is usually a source of the men's national pride and a chance to open your city to the world but things are very different right now in tokyo which is juta i use the delayed some again in july and there's no medal for guessing what.

i messed up maybe if 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 you know. sports earlier that i'm not 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 do think it will be good to spread the infection of coronavirus further since the state of emergency was a little still a soaker in tokyo i think it's a bit contradictory milkha. bhaag it was like i said 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 chewed up by the olympics.
