believed that's right. it was and. they want to cancel the president you don't really see victory but you see obliteration of your nemesis republicans accuse democrats of attempting to pounce all the us presidents and claim their vote to impeach him was more about rev then it's really just it was all the donald trump became the 1st u.s. leader to suffer the indignity twice. vandalized then torched hundreds of riots in such a brussels police station on fire after an african emigrants dies in custody. on degrees calls on the e.u.

to speed up code with possible ways to get travelers moving again but tourism industry leaders warn they could discriminate against people who can't be inoculated. 5 nation should not be the only consideration we don't have to wait for mark seems to travel. very warm welcome from our team here in moscow you're watching r.t. and some national with me. are total of $20000.00 u.s. national guard troops are expected to be deployed in washington d.c. for the inauguration of joe biden as president that is significantly more than the number of active duty u.s. troops currently stationed in afghanistan and iraq combined several 1000 of them filled the u.s. capitol building ahead of the vote to impeach president trump on wednesday to deter for. fresh protests from trump supporters and means the inauguration next week is

going to be like no other country's history and it's already created a national divide that was clearly seen during the debate in the u.s. house of representatives which ended with trump page for a 2nd time. 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 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 wes now up to the senate to decide whether to indict trump on charges of inciting insurrection despite democratic

party calls for urgency it seems the votes will not take place before the president leaves office on january the 20th but that doesn't mean trump won't be affected by it as the decision could ban him from ever taking office again law experts charles rose explains 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 determining 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 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 to sell for him if he does not self pardon i think the odds are actually lower that he will be prosecuted federally if he self pardons he's actually challenging the validity of a self pardon by the president and my assessment is that the united states is not going to be interested in allowing someone to commit crimes and then pardon themselves as are going out the door if the self pardons he almost guarantees a federal prosecution to result that koester some bush term for mainz in office until the 20th but already has 1st hand experience of being shot sound off the

online conversation that was internet giants are continuing to punch the president from that platform with snaps on the latest issue of permanent ban from space this is also being targeted in the virtual hugs right gowns to have take the close in the. 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 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 that 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 caris sells and ice rings business is 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 in the national guards to protect the seen these 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 trumps passion is golf and part the professional golf of the so c.h. an 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 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 odd justified but you can't deny that he's left to mock that he was the president oh well turns out you cat i'm working on a beer 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 'd 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 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

bastid ms this is somebody that i'm something being created by the fact that so many people feel silenced and deep platforms by left wing media both social and traditional. the man behind the social network that was taken offline during the wider backlash against donald trump says his platform may never return paula felt the full force of the internet's gatekeepers when it was dropped from apple and google's app stores amazon then pulled the plug on hosting the service on its servers saying it had been warning about violent content for months paula saw itself as a free speech platform and became a haven for outspoken conservatives many of whom had already been booted off twitter and facebook but the decision by big tech to silence parlor trump has caused shivers on both sides of the political divide his polyploid. be honest but not too honest because that is dangerous nowadays do you like me

feel so bits of shodan for oil 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. 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 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 to trump he would have just said well that's where i'll just go to paul or instead of being big 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 been banned from the platforms and is the final blow to free speech imus then has refused to

welcome back efforts to get your opinions on the move during these covert stricken times of being pushed by the greek prime minister is calling on the european commission to agree a way for vaccinated travelers to cross borders throughout the e.u. . it is agent to adopt a common understanding about how vaccination certificate should be structured so they can be accepted in any member state private passports of been mooted in other countries to the danish health ministry is working on a certificate for vaccinated travel as lines are also looking to get measures in motion a survey saw straightly as quantas know that 9 out of 10 people would be willing to get inoculated so that they can travel again for more than 6 months of discussions

around the world of so far led to lists all in the way of agreements and critics claim that coated passports discriminate against people who haven't been vaccinated the chief executive of the world travel and tourism townsell says vaccine passports shouldn't be the only option. the dog we were it sure is totally against health passed 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 villain in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine don't see that as the only solution mare's vaccination should not be the only consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where 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 you have for instance if you're coming from this to nation with high cases of quality

to learn this nation with lower case of course we 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 gate 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 certificate . but a paper certificate should also be fine we believe that a digital certificate of this should be fine enough and we truly believe we have the health information for the traveler for people in general or germany has suffered a record number of covert related deaths in a single day with the virus claiming more than 1200 lives on wednesday 25000 people

were also newly diagnosed with the disease and 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 covert nighty you've become a tory and says it has the capacity to deal with 50 services a day but demand is currently double that germany insists it's good 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 is a situation being echoed elsewhere in europe too was peter all of a explains. any hopes of germany lifting its covert 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 19 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 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 the board but there is criticism among politicians of the way the vaccines have being doled out christian living there 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 covert 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 something different.

something we didn't expect if we could. reverse course and remember. 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 abroad and 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. tougher times ahead in france and nationwide curfew is on the way to curb the spread of cones that depends he has more on the latest restrictions. that cookie starts at 6 pm in the evening and it will last until 6 am in the morning and that will come into force time from saturday so this is because 900 cases still set in roy's inc here florence was so 18000 cases on average every day being

registered in french government had hoped that they be able to control it hasn't so far it means that shops will have to close to the public 6 pm in the evening so people will be able to stay in a little longer than that now there are fines if you are caught outside and don't have the right to say that you can be outside after 6 pm in the evening you will be fined $135.00 euros for 1st offense but if you do that several times during a long period say 3 times that will rise to 3750 euros and a possible 6 month jail sentence but the prime minister did for the moment to rule out a further lockdown suffer the 6 it apart from situations linked to public services or premises businesses all services open to the general public would be closed at 6 pm if we see in the coming days a strong deterioration in the epidemic we will consider without delay implementing

a new lockdown that is likely to cause massive concerns for those who run restaurants cafes bars even these places that have been shut down for people to go in and sit in eating meals since the middle of october but many of them are lying on the fact that they've been providing takeout services and they take our services our lunch and the evening under these new could be restrictions these businesses will have to shut by 6 pm meaning that there will be no take care of services in the evening which could severely restrict their businesses and many will probably be saying that this is going to be their last nail in the coffin. for their business and we know that the borders will be strengthened as a result of the continued 19 pandemic so we've been told that anyone coming from a country outside the european union will have to present it who never needed to test before they fly and those who do present that test well after that then start

class late this 7 days here in france before taking and know that test to prove that they are not 19 carriers that we have also heard that there will be more than 700 vaccination centers that will be opened next week and they were really trying to ramp up the steps nation camp campaign here in florence all the been severely criticized at the beginning for being so slow the target now is to vaccinate over and 1000000 people by the end of january and we've been told through january 18th anyone who is likely to develop serious illness as a result of contracting could be quarantined although be able to jump the queue get a godless of their age. shoppers in northern ireland are finding rows of empty shelves in grocery stores and brags it's being blamed it's 2 weeks since britain totally cut the cord with the e.u. but new restrictions were also imposed on goods being shipped from mainland u.k.

to northern ireland which has britain's only land border with the e.u. bosses are the big supermarket chains have now publicly issued an urgent plea for the government to sort out the red tape. we recognise the european commission needs to see increased compliance to support the concessions granted through the northern ireland protocol but the current proposal increased bureaucracy and certification is such a short timescale are unworkable the prime minister with questions in the commons over the supply problems but he told m.p.'s that everything is fine. but the moment goods are flowing effectively and in normal volumes between great britain and northern ireland so far no lorries have been turned back. bureaucratic hurdles too for scottish fish francais to say their products are going to waste because of hold up things getting rather liveries into the e.u. boss is a threatening to dump the rotting seafood outside parliament if they can't get their goods to market next week for the break the party any pay bill etheredge begs

to differ he told me the government should be ashamed of seeing empty shop shelves this should never have got to this point it's absolutely irresponsible and ridiculous that the british government let's get to this point years ago we should have had the discussion with the do you want to try it with us and keep out of our business if the answer was no less talk we'll try to organization terms with a transition period which was built into what had been agreed that could've made all of this absolutely not no chance of happening instead of that they drove it for the last minute and boris johnson gave grants to the because he was terrified of dollars alone and he has left the country there without enough to lease the writ the very reason we're in this position as i said earlier was that we've been delayed for too long this neat little cottons this is people who are trying to deny the will of the people delayed this to the point where this is now happens they are

responsible and the government has a responsibility to sort it say they created this mess not the people who voted branches the government is responsible the government sorted out. thanks for joining us here and i think internationally sean thomas will be here at the top of the hour with over. on this edition of crossfire we have a look at translate to see as president of the united states as our politics are so divided we shouldn't be surprised there are loads of the legacies depending on how you view trump there also can be no doubt he changed america and the president. seemed wrong all roles just don't all. mean you all get to shape
