in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. they want to cancel the press you don't merely seek you seek obliteration of your nemesis republicans accuse democrats of attempting to cancel the us president and claim that their vote to impeach him was more about revenge then justice that is after donald trump became the 1st us leader to suffer the indignity twice. vandalized it then torched hundreds of rioters set a brussels police station on fire after an african immigrant dies in custody. and greece calls on the e.u. to speed up passports to get travelers moving again but tourism industry leaders

warn that they could discriminate against people who cannot be inoculated. to see their asian we don't have to wait for. our broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our chief international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now a 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 fresh protests from trump's supporters it means biden's inauguration next week will

be like none other since the nation's civil war and it has already created a national divide that was clearly seen during the debate in the u.s. house of representatives which ended with trump impeached for a 2nd time. donald trump is the most. 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 know 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 it is now up to the senate to decide whether to convict trump on the charge of inciting insurrection but despite democratic party calls for urgency it seems the vote will not take place before the president leaves office on january 20th but that does not mean trump will not be

affected by it as the outcome could ban him from ever taking office again legal expert charles rose explains how this could impact 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 in 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 so or 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-starter 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 or go out the door if he so pardons he almost guarantees a federal prosecution to resolve their costs or. trouble remains in office until the 20th but already has firsthand experience of being shut out of the online conversation the world internet giants are continuing to be jacked the president from their platforms with snap chat the latest to issue

a permanent ban trumps businesses are also being targeted in the virtual purge artie's but i've got to have has commentary. 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 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 moments of duty 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 will 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 hates 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 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 the 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 news 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. the man behind the social network that was taken offline during the wider backlash against donald trump says his platform may never return parler 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 parlor about violent content for months the site sold itself as a free speech platform and became a haven for outspoken conservative many of whom had already been booted off twitter and facebook but the decision by big tech to silence parlor and trump has caused shivers on both sides of the political divide here's our tease polly boyko. be honest but not too honest because that is dangerous nowadays do you like me feel so bits of shot 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 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 to trumpy would have just said well that's where i'll just go to paul or instead. 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 rage is right now apple and google play. they have been banned from the platforms under the final blow to free speech imus then has refused to high standards which means that freedom of expression. lies and it may sometimes be

is now well and truly shut down. hundreds of rioters have smashed the windows of a brussels police station and then set it on fire over the death of a young man while in police custody. was angry locals are demanding further investigation into how the man an african migrant lost his life officers used force to quell the unrest a lawyer for the victim's family says the authorities have questions to answer. ibrahim of films the actions of the police on camera he used his civil right 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 b. was detained on saturday evening reportedly while filming police officers on a smartphone he lost consciousness at a police department and was taken to the hospital but doctors were unable to save him the cause of death is not yet known police said the man was detained for violating pandemic lock down curfews but a post-mortem established that he died before the curfew 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 are talking about the death of a human being here and we think it is totally normal for people to be outraged we're grieving that is the main reason why we're here and the 2nd reason is that we demand justice and justice must be done a lot of aspects of still good are regarding the circumstances or his death. still to come archie international leaders and airlines push for coded passports to get the world travelling again but could that mean people who cannot get vaccinated get left behind that story after a short break this is our international. 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 if there are multiple legacies depending on how you view trump there also can be no doubt he changed america and the president. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or inmate in the shallows.

welcome back this is our team international effort to get europeans on the move during these covert stricken times are being pushed by the greek prime minister he is calling on the european commission to agree on a way for vaccinated travelers to cross borders throughout the e.u. . it is searching to adopt a common understanding about how vaccination certificates should be structured so they can be accepted in all member states covered passports have been suggested in other countries as well the danish health ministry is working on a certificate for vaccinated travelers airlines are also latching onto the idea a survey for australia's quantas shows that 9 out of 10 people would be willing to get inoculated so they can travel again but more than 6 months of discussions around the world have so far led to little in the way of agreement and critics

claim that covert passports discriminate against people who have not been vaccinated the chief executive of the world travel and tourism council says vaccine passports should not be the only option. the dog we are 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 there are lot of the villain in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine i don't see the us as the only solution as vaccination should not be the only consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where it does the more liberal groups we don't have to wait for a vaccine to travel while at the same time people kind of still travel as long as you have for instance if you're coming from this to nation with high cases of coffee to learn this nation with lower case is of course it will be helpful 2

percent and this is what 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 said 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 avoid. fake certificates . but a paper certificate should also be fine we believe that a digital certificate of having a negative this should be fine enough and we totally believe that we have to protect the health information for the traveler and for people in general. tougher times ahead in france a nationwide curfew is on the way to curb the spread of cove it. 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 that we have time for almost 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 ringback it hasn't so far now it means that shops will have to close to the public 6 pm in the evening that 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 and several times during a month 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 his except your years apart from situations linked to public services or premises businesses all services open to the general public will 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 to those who run restaurants cafes bossie these are 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 the takeout services are 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 the last nail in the coffin. for their business and we know that that will be strengthened as

a result of the continued 19 pandemics that we've been told that anyone coming from the country outside the european union will have to present it never needed to test before they fly and those who do present that test will have to then stop oscillates the 7 days before taking and know that test that they are not who made 19 kerry is that we have also that there will be more than $700.00 vaccination centers that will be opened next week and they really trying to run this tax nation can't campaign here in florence all that being severely criticized at the beginning for being so slow to talk it now is to vaccinate and 1000000 people by the end of january and we've been told from january 18th anyone who is likely to develop serious illness as a result contracting could be going teen be able to jump the queue and get

a chance of a godless ok. 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 had to install 7 refrigerated containers because of the growing need to store the deceased during the 2nd wave of the crown of virus the crematorium says it has the capacity to deal with 50 services a day but demand is currently double that germany insists it has 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 that is the situation being echoed elsewhere in europe as art is pure all over points. 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 angler 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 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 the 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 it 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 and 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 non 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. listening to. something we didn't expect if we. 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 or 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 e.u. you 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. shoppers in northern ireland are finding rows of empty shelves in grocery stores and brags it is being blamed. it has been 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.

heads of the big supermarket chains have now publicly issued an urgent plea for the government to sort out the red tape. we recognize the european commission needs to see increased compliance to support the concessions granted through the northern ireland protocol but the current proposals increased bureaucracy and certification in such a short timescale are unworkable the prime minister was questioned in parliament over the supply problems but he told m.p.'s that everything is fine but the moment goods are flowing effectively and enormous volume is between great britain and northern ireland so a prime mover lorries have been turned. bureaucratic hurdles are also hitting scottish fish firms who say that their products are going to waste because of hold ups in getting their deliveries into the e.u. bosses are threatening to dump the rotting seafood outside parliament if they cannot get their goods to market next week former briggs it party m.e.p.

bill etheridge begs to differ he told us that the british government should be ashamed of seeing empty store 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 do try it with us and keep out of our business if the answer was no less don't 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 to the last minute and boris johnson gave grants to the because he was terrified of dog alone and he has let the country down a bit with not enough to lease the rig the very reason we're in this position as i said earlier was that we've been delayed for too long this neatly into problems this is people who are trying to deny the will of the people is delayed this to the point where this is now happening they are responsible and the government has

a responsibility to sort it set out they created this mess not the people who voted bret's it's the government is responsible to do a little soul today. right but does it for me that i'll be back in let's say 31 minutes with another for a fresh look you know the start international. guide to financial flying today with the money laundering 1st to visit this cash into 3 different. oh good that's a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or the real world these banks are complicit in the club i pursued just saying hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got all of that and i still dream watch for max and for stacy old beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again from that you know what money laundering highways. don't

care for much as a record. nuclear power have become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people have demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactive beyond its operational limit 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 your power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on oxy.
