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 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 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 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 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
8:04 pm
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 carton which he's actually been advised not to do by every legal adviser that he's raised the issue with or he doesn't attempts 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 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 are going out the door if he so pardons he almost guarantees a federal prosecution to resolve their costs or. trump remains in office until the 20th but already has 1st hand experience of being shut out of the online conversation the world internet giants are continuing to eject the president from
8:05 pm
their platforms with snap chat the latest to issue a permanent ban trump's businesses are also being targeted in the virtual purge parties 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. 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 in 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 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
8:08 pm
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 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 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 app stores and 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 told sold itself as a free speech platform and became a haven for outspoken conservatives many of whom had already been booted off of 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 as artie's public. 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
8:10 pm
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 after michelle obama expressed her discussed his monstrous behavior which suggests that the trial could have been colored with a touch of political motivation running
8:11 pm
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 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 raiders but 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 how as pleasant it may

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're 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 regarding the circumstances of his death. still to come on our international leaders and the airlines push for coated 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 these are 2 international. so let's not pretend sanctions are traits or that you're being silenced steve just so

efforts welcome back this is art international now efforts to get europeans on the move during these covert stricken times are being pushed by the greek prime minister is calling on the european commission to agree on a way for vaccinated travelers to cross borders throughout the e.u. . it is agent to adopt a common understanding about how vaccination certificates should be structured so they can be accepted in all member states are covered passports have been suggested in other countries as well the danish health ministry is working on a certificate for vaccinating 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 an ocular so that they can travel again but more than 6 months of discussions
8:17 pm
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 passports ok and we believe that as well because that can lead to discrimination unfortunately the bank scene 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 mass 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
8:18 pm
quality to this nation with lower case of course we 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 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 avoid. fake. certificates but a paper certificate should also be fine and we believe that a digital certificate of having a negative best should be fine enough and we totally believe there we have to protect the health information for the traveler and for people in general. germany has suffered a record number of code related deaths in a single day with the virus claiming more than 1200 lives on wednesday 25000 people

8:20 pm
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 strings 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 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 say this 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. 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
8:21 pm
hasn't been done quick enough and that needs to change preside more 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 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 'd and in the bavarian city funeral services there of seemed 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 i mean everyone. there's
8:22 pm
a bit of. something we didn't expect if we could. reduce support 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 a nation that 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. 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
8:23 pm
outlier amongst other european nations of course it's no longer a member of the e.u. though they've vaccinated around 5 percent of the population inside the e.u. you're 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. 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 a britain totally cut the cord with the e.u. but new restrictions were also imposed on goods being shipped from mainland u.k. aid to northern ireland which has britain's only land border with the e.u. heads of the big supermarket chain have now publicly issued an urgent plea for the
8:24 pm
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 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 to normal volumes between great britain and northern ireland so lorries have been turned back. all right 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. buses are threatening to dump the rotting seafood outside parliament if they cannot get their goods to market next week former party m.e.p. bill etheridge begs to differ he told us the british government should be ashamed
8:25 pm
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 we should've left off 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 into the us mideast and boris johnson gave grants to the e.u. because he was terrified of god alone and he has let the country down a bit without enough to like the rich the very reason we're in this position as i said earlier was that we'd be delayed 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 happened they are responsible and the government has a responsibility to sort it set out they created this mess not the people who voted
