in west palm beach florida and alan fisher is an official as saying there on capitol hill the point he was making that trumps lawyer well the legal team came to the case quite late there has been concern that they have been somewhat disorganized about this we've not heard anything from donald trump that. well i don't think ever has donald trump been so silent for so long of course he's not on twitter anymore it's a stark contrast to his 1st impeachment trial where on just one day he tweeted out 140 times but objective lawyer if you look at what's happened in the 2nd impeachment trial and you compare his lawyers opening remarks in defense of him and today's proceedings they are very different it's a far more cohesive far more comprehensive argument there was no stumbling they seemed to know what they were doing and they really honed in on the arguments that they wanted to make and that video you just played before you came to be is a good example of that so i think if the president as i do expect is watching this today he would be far happier than he was on tuesday when these impeachmen

had to have 67 votes to convict they had 57 they fell 10 short it's a big up thank you very much alan fisher on capitol hill there let's cross live danny gallagher who's in west palm beach florida and andy president trump for present trump has been remarkably silent recently though i suspect that might be seen about to change in light of his victory in the senate. yeah i mean from the reporting i've heard the information i managed to gather is that he did a deal with the lawyers that started to work for him just a few days before the 2nd impeachment trial but he would stay quiet through out this trial and of course he's not on twitter anymore and for that perspective during his 1st impeachment he tweeted $140.00 times in just one day so the expectation now is the former president will say something through what channel he does that i'm not sure he loves to be in front of the cameras he loves to gloat when these kinds of victories come his way but i think this entire thing speaks and answers the question of who his republican party is this and it seems now that with this result in this acquit

. >> let's bring that to alan fisher, our correspondent, live from capitol hill. as expected, the trial will now go ahead. we are seeing the arguments being laid out. alan: that is right. this is the appetir before we decide whether he was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, whether it was constitutional to actually put donald trump on trial. the democrats, led by the house managers, jamie raskin, saying yes, he should be held responsible for what happened here on capitol hill on january 6. it was his words and actions that led to a violent mob moving into the capital. he showed a dramatic video, one senator, saying he never sat down and watched what happened and what he called a horrends day. -- in what he called a horrendous day. one donald trump -- when donald trump tweeted out , as the crowd was looking for mike pence, some suggesting they wanted to hang him. that is what they said, you can't do this in the last is of your administration and walk away without consequences. on the one hand, it was all about whether or not they had the right to try him, becau

that is highly unlikely, as alan fisher reports from capitol hill. >> there was no more dramatic video, instead a warning -- donald trump had a history of political violence and if he was not convicted, there would inevitably be more. >> the attack was done for donald trump, at his instructions and to fulfill his wishes. donald trump had sent them there. >> we love you. he will be happy. we are fighting for trump. >> all of these people who have been arrested and charged, they are being held accountable for their actions. their leader, the man who incited them must be held accountable as well. >> we have been invited by the president of the united states. >> what makes you think the nightmare with donald trump and his violent mob is over? if we let him get away with it, then it comes to your state capitol or comes back here again, is there any political leader in this room that believes if it is ever allowed to get back into the oval office, donald trump would stop inciting violence to get his way ? would you bet the lives of more police officers on that? i'm not afraid of donald trump

managers rejected the defense's argument that it's unconstitutional to try if former president alan fisher has the latest from capitol hill this is really just an appetizer for what's going to come over the next couple of days this week both sides of the argument the republicans on donald trump's team essentially saying look you can't hold them responsible because he's left office but the democrats simply not having seen what happened in january the 6 was appalling and the president was responsible for driving the more towards capitol hill and for all the violence that took place after that. protesters in myanmar have taken to the streets for a 5th straight day thousands are rallying in young gone to voice their opposition to last week's military coup despite an escalating police crackdown chile's interior minister has warned that undocumented migrants who have been entering the country will be deported more than 6000 venezuelans have come in through a remote desert passage in the last 6 weeks turkey has indicated it could be willing to limit its use of the russian air defense system it bo

to smear censor and cancel not just president trump but the 75000000 americans who voted for him alan fisher has more now from capitol hill. well this is donald trump getting the defense that he wanted it was aggressive it was fractious it was his team saying look there's a number of reasons why you can't proceed with the impeachment of donald trump the 1st one was on constitutional grounds they said he simply can't be tried because he's left office that was already decided by the senate on tuesday and that's why this hearing is going ahead then talked about to process said that they simply didn't have enough time either to carry out an investigation or to review the evidence they alleged that the prosecution just handed them the video very late on tuesday although both sides agreed that that evidence would be made available and the defense knew when they were going to get it and then there was the question of the flushed amendment they say that donald trump didn't say anything that isn't unusual in political speech and he played 11 minutes and 18 seconds of democrats using the phrase fight

prince mohammed bin salman of approving the plan to capture or kill journalist jamal khashoggi alan fisher has more from washington joe biden and tony blinken have in the last couple of hours said that this is no going to lead to a reset in the relationship between the united states and saudi arabia what is interesting is that the trumpet ministration which was very close to saudi arabia and very close to mohamed bin selman came under a lot of criticism because they would have seen the details of this report and they decided to take no direct action against muhammad bin salman joe biden promised that he would release this report he has a new school though he's taking action against saudi arabia there's no direct action against the crown prince. police in may and more of used tear gas and stun grenades as they tried to prevent protesters from gathering the country's united nations ambassador was also appealed to the group to use quote all means necessary to oppose the military. u.s. president joe biden's $1.00 trillion dollar coronavirus aid package has passed through the house of represent

alan fisher is in cap to hell falling or the developments for us allan that talk us through what you think are the highlights from today's proceedings. or this new reporting in the last couple of hours that suggests that the democrats may be considering calling witnesses more get to that in a 2nd but this is very much the defense that donald trump wanted his team taking the fight to the democrats claiming that the whole operation was justified because it was a threat to donald trump that they were trying to punish him that the hated what he had done in office over the last 4 years and he wanted to impeach him from day one and they were guilty of a pa christie by claiming the use of the word fight was donald trump's incitement to crow to march on capitol hill they also accuse the democrats of prosecutorial misconduct by editing video misquoting the president and sure donald trump really wanted to make sure that his team went on the offensive in fact at one point they wouldn't even acknowledge that joe biden had won the election they said that wasn't the question here the question that

you have set a new terrible standard for presidential misconduct in the united states of america alan fisher has more from capitol hill. donald trump has shown no remorse after what happened here on january the 6th there were those who said there were no apology and those who said that he should be given a mulligan which is essentially saying that everyone makes a mistake is that this wasn't a mistake don't come knew exactly what he was doing then there was the moment where they played a lot of republicans who not only criticize but condemn donald trump for what happened here on january 6th saying that they're quite clearly blamed him and the courted the likes of jim mathis who it matters who was his 1st defense secretary i'm it will be me who used to be a chief of staff and h.r. mcmaster a former national security adviser to him all of them were critical of what happened here on january the 6th and then there was the the pre-buttal if you like essentially say the democrats saying look this is what donald trump's team i'm going to argue this is why i should ignore it 1st of all on the consti

day of evidence against him to be heard on thursday before his legal team presents its defense alan fisher has a report now from capitol hill the day was punctuated by video much of it which had never been seen before much of it security footage from actually inside the capitol building itself senators could only watch on in horror as the saw hope police officers were overwhelmed cody sent frantic radio messages are going for help how the student gains the violent tide that swept towards them threatening to challenge the result of the presidential election at the very heart of american democracy. the evidence will show that he clearly incited the generous 6 insurrection. if you will show that donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief that mob was summoned assembled and incited by the former president of the united states donald trump and he did that. because he wanted to stop the transfer of power so that he could retain power the the this was never about pursuing legitimate claims he was saying anything he could to trigger and anger his base s

system ria maintains the killers were a rogue group and says it's done all it can to punish them alan fisher has more from washington. here's the 4 page report that is going to cause international reporters and be the catalyst for that recalibration and relationships between washington and riyadh there's new details in here about how the u.s. came to the conclusion that beyond a reasonable doubt they believe mohammed bin selman was responsible for the operation to either capture or kill jamal khashoggi but we expected them not to betray either intelligence sources or intelligence assets we do know from previous cia leaks that they've been listening into calls made by mohammed bin salman also the access to some of the turkish intelligence you remember at the time turkish intelligence told us that they had access to video and sound recording in the consulate itself you go back to the 2nd of october in 2800 jamal khashoggi walked into the consulate in istanbul his intention just to pick up some paperwork for a forthcoming marriage but he met a team that was waiting there for him directed by moh

and trump's defense lawyers will have $60.00 spread over the next 2 days to present their cases alan fisher is on capitol hill he has more on what to expect in the upcoming trial. we can no longer argue about the constitutionality or whether or not donald trump should be on trial he is going on trial what is interesting is that bill cassidy who is a republican who just a week or so ago voted to halt this whole process saying it was unconstitutional that was defeated in the senate this time around he flipped his vote he said this absolutely should go through and he laid the blame family at the feet of donald trump's lawyers he said they were random they were unfocused they didn't address the main questions when he said the team led by jamie raskin knew exactly what they were doing and we don't an emotional case but also one that was rational and based on the law that's the big problem that donald trump's lawyers you know have they have got 16 hours to make their case it will start on wednesday the democrats will lead off the prosecution will have a 16 hours to their case they might not use a

no you're up there alan fisher has more now from capitol hill they are drawing the lines they have taken the 11 minute 13 minute video that they sure don't choose the and they've gone broader and they've gone deeper they've shown donald trump in the buildup to the election saying that the only way he was going to lose was if it would be stolen from him the showed the tweets when he was telling people after the election that they had to stop the steel that they had to fight to save their country and they're showing the people on the streets who were following his orders according to the impeachment managers by showing up at the homes of elected officials of all election officials and also threatening them saying that they must continue to stop this deal so all of these things drawing lines exactly to the point where the more move towards the capitol hill on january the 6th we're told that there's going to be some pretty graphic video that will be shown in the next part of the session this is security camera video that is being shown here and no speaking to a few people have been texting t

impeachment managers rejected the defense's argument that it is unconstitutional to try former president alan fisher has the latest from capitol hill this is really just an appetizer for what's going to come over the next couple of days as with both sides of the argument the republicans on donald trump's team essentially saying look you can't hold them responsible because he's left office but the democrats simply not having that same what happened in january of this 6 was appalling and the president was responsible for driving the more towards capitol hill and for all the violence that took place after that we must nationally for democracy says that police have raided its headquarters the n l d is the political movement led by deposed leader and since e.g. only a protest has rallied for a 4th straight day against last week's military coup. nearly 60 hours after the flooding of a tunnel in the indian state of car and rescue teams have managed to clear enough for debris to enter the structure 35 workmen are trapped 30 people have died nearly 200 missing. a court in poland has ordered 2 prominent holoc

in the capitol on january 6th alan fisher is following proceedings on capitol hill for us and joins us now allan why is mitch mcconnell saying this now. i'm sure people are watching this and listening to mitch mcconnell saying that donald trump was responsible they came with his flags they came because he had stepped up essential to what the democrats have been arguing over the last 3 days the big lie about a stolen election and he was responsible for what we saw but then they're probably screaming well why did you vote no and that's why we found out he said that impeachment was a narrow tool for a narrow job and he felt that you couldn't impeach donald trump one because he was no longer in office and 2 because it didn't quite meet the constitutional requirements for the job it's interesting that mitch mcconnell would make such a statement there are other republicans who are much more strident they still don't believe that donald trump was responsible for what happened here on january the 6th it was interesting that 7 republicans actually did vote to convict donald trump among them ben

capitol alan fisher is on capitol hill to tell us what to expect over the coming days. in a place that has seen a lot over this truly was an historic day the 2nd impeachment trial of donald trump before the senate can even begin to question whether or not he was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors whether he sent a crowd towards capitol hill for a violent insurrection aimed at overturning the results of a democratic election there is the question of whether or not it was constitutional to put him on trial the democrats said absolutely he had to be held responsible for what he did in those final days in office his defense team argued that he's no longer in office and so it's too early our case is based on call hard facts people died that day officers ended up with head damage and brain damage people's eyes were galloped off for a heart attack after last 3 fingers that day. 2 officers have taken their own lives senators this cannot be our future this cannot be the future of america we cannot have presidents inciting and mobilizing mob violence against our government an

minute liz cheney has been accused of disloyalty from 1900 ph former president donald trump well alan fisher is at the white house and joins us now alan what what is happening today tell us about the discussions that have been underway. well those meetings ongoing these were planned after the impeachment forward it's interesting because this is the republican party essentially making a decision on its future ties to donald trump 1st of all because you've got liz cheney who is number 3 in the republican hierarchy in the house she voted for impeachment remember that vote was very much of what of clinton's there was no party which means republicans were telling their members which way to vote solicitude he decided that donald trump very much was responsible for what happened at the capital in january the 6th and had to be impeached she was one of 10 republicans who did that but because of her leadership position there's a number in the republican caucus who said she had to be removed because she didn't represent them anymore among those pushing for her removal include ohio congressman jim jorda

nation many thanks for speaking to us again on al-jazeera it was interesting what our correspondent alan fisher was saying there about what was happening in the senate the reaction of senators. as those videos the dramatic footage was being played how initially some of the senators had their feet up pops not so interested in what was going on but as they started playing those videos some of them even had tears in their eyes do you think based on what you've seen today in terms of the evidence it's going to be enough to convince the 17 republicans needed to convict donald trump. 17 in this context is a huge number and i was saying earlier that even if you could get 15 to convict which we know is you may that's still not 17 so i think it would be very very difficult but i think there's something to consider here too regardless of the intensity and harrowing nature of what we all saw today and what they experience is that many of those senators must she you know or now or in some way be aware 'd that they were complicit in what has been called the big which was the run up to the election and then

fisher who's holding the proceedings for us on capitol hill and alan they're in a break at the moment all of just coming back in. some new evidence and new video evidence likely to appear some point. that's right they're going to present a security video that comes from inside capitol hill this is going to be pretty key years far as the democrats are concerned that that the plank of the harm that was done here no we we've heard from the democrats and they have peter managers they want to show provocation and the leader they want to show the the attack and then the harm that was done they've talked about how they came to the gates essentially of capitol hill donald trump in many occasions where he could have taken down the temperature of his supporters they made reference to the bus that was driving through texas it was a biden campaign bus it was suddenly surrounded by a lot of trump supporting cars all the cars were over the top supporting the cars were being driven by trump supporters and they tried almost to push the bus off the road now at that point we see donald trump could have
