by more, we're joined award-winning journalist allan nairn.e watched what happened in full yesterday in the u.s. congress, the difference between mob ofppened with this white supremacists, what many are calling domestic terrorists, the difference in how the capital policed some of them taking selfies, dealt with them versus what we saw in lafayette park, black lives matter activists, or just african-americans in general, your response? lost histrump i think chance to actually seize full power on election night when he failed to stop the vote count. but yesterday he proved he does enforcement in law are ready to stand back and let them rampage. i think many in law enforcement see themselves as being on the same team. the capitol was under siege from the outside. the crowd, but at the same time, also under siege election lee. inside, had about one third of congress that was toying with the idea of opposing presidential elections. and biden said, this is who we are. in fact, this is consistent with a lot of traditions of the u.s. rulers, restrict

fisher's joining us from the white house allan where do we stand now with this ultimatum congress is planning to send or least the house of representatives failing to send mike pence. well this of course is the last film week of the trump presidency will donald trump see it all the way to the end until the 20th of january the odds of that are looking great or by every day certainly over the weekend at the end of last week donald trump thought he might be in trouble but he's been heartened by the words of support received from a number of republicans over the weekend that's for mike pence will he invoke the 25th it's highly unlikely he hasn't said anything public about it but he believes it would just simply take too long to put the process in motion and by the end of it donald trump would still be president not only that there could be legal challenges and mike pence wants to run for the republican nomination in 2024 and he doesn't want to alienate trump voters by taking that dramatic step that means all the focus goes back onto congress will there be an impeachment hearing in the ho

course let's talk let's go back to my colleague alan fischer who's overlooking the white house for us allan 74000000 people voted for mr trump not all of those 74000000 people are demonstrators not all of them invaded the capitol building there just people who believed that they were voting for the right guy at the right time to carry on doing the right job. you know peter i covered the 2nd event over with donald trump as i said in california and then followed his campaign always leaving new york in 2016 when he won the election. in a hall that was built really for a concession speech rather than an acceptance speech i have intermittently along with my colleague kimberly hawke it covered the white house i was on a rooftop on the day that joe biden was declared the winner of the election and i've been at the white house almost every day for the last 3 or 4 weeks the change in the trump supporters in that time was quite marked 4 years ago 5 years ago people were coming along to the events to see the show they cared don't from say crazy things they saw how the media reacted to him in the unite

we'll be checking in with you over the next few hours for the time being allan fessor thank you. well bruce fein is a former us associate deputy attorney general and constitutional lawyer and he says there are grounds for using the 25th amendment to remove trump an action that would ultimately benefit the vice president mike pence mr trump has shown that he is mentally incapable of discharging the duties of his office which include faithfully executing the laws in upholding in defending the constitution of the united states this is a min who yesterday incited sedition against the united states' plane courage and violence to prohibit the fusion of the process by which we count electoral vote and that surely satisfy its least mental inability. to discharge the duties of his office i believe that this certainly is feasible mr pence certainly would have an incentive to undertake that path because mr trump basic cli has called him a coward denigrated him humiliated him in every which way imaginable because mr punch pence stuck to the constitution and said he could only count the votes

alan fischer with the latest there from outside the white house allan thank you. within the last few hours the number of recorded coronavirus cases around the world has passed 100000000 governments are racing to vaccinate has many people as possible but new coronavirus mutations are raising new concerns about whether approved vaccines will remain effective katrina you reports from beijing. one year ago the central chinese city of cotton went into what was then an unprecedented lockdown 11000000 people were isolated from the rest of china and the world in a desperate attempt to prevent the spread of a deadly corona virus that attempt failed cases of a quickly identified in thailand japan and south korea and the united states began restricting travelers from china in han authorities makeshift hospitals to treat thousands suffering from the illness the world's 2nd largest economy was at a standstill as authorities work to contain the outbreak. in february the virus was officially named curve of 1000 and europe faced its 1st major outbreak a certain cases in italy spr

let's go to alan fischer who joins us live now from the white house allan 1st of all in the past few minutes we know that nancy pelosi has been speaking as well the u.s. house speaker she says the crimes committed seditious acts she's been calling from trump's immediate removal through the 25th amendment and also saying that democrats are pressing for impeachment so for many people really the events of wednesday where the tipping point been some resignations from the white house what else can you tell us. well the 25th amendment is a big step but we've had no from chuck schumer who's the leader of the democrats in the senate and also nancy pelosi the speaker of the house and they have said it's time for the republicans to act all pressure goes on to my parents it's really up to the vice president to take that action and to call together the cabinet and one some of george 3 of the cabinet agrees go to the president and say he's being removed under the 25th amendment nancy pelosi suggesting if that isn't going to happen then they will have another impeachment hearing how would that wor

talking about security issues allan we have been hearing about this f.b.i. report that's being leaked what is the security situation what does it look like in the u.s. capitol right now. most certainly up on capitol hill they are preparing for the inauguration in the way that they were prepared for inauguration but certainly we're seeing much tighter security there are more armed officers in the area the national guard has already put 10000 officers into the capitol with 5000 more on standby if they're needed at any point over the next few days muriel bowser who is the mayor of washington d.c. has said that she might extend her coronavirus lot done it to the 24th of january that would mean restaurants were closed would be various other restrictions just an attempt to keep people away they've already said they don't want people in washington d.c. that's really unusual because normally before an inauguration that's when a lot of hotels and a lot of restaurants make a lot of money because of hundreds of thousands of people flooding in to this city that's not go

much indeed let's get the view from the white house now i can head across alan fischer allan we can see that the efforts are ramping up to remain donald trump from the white house as he said and i think it's all since the events that problems that all of this new reaction from the white house a toll of course he's not made any public statement since friday when he was banned from twitter he does have a medal of freedom ceremony due to take place in the next hour or so here at the white house they're still discussions going on about whether or not the president will make remarks he's had a couple of those ceremonies in the last 10 days both occasions before there have been private media essentially the white house cameras and only the white house cameras there none of the press pool that normally follows 'd him around and that's one of the interesting things that people are saying that donald trump kicked off twitter losing his voice he has a briefing room less than. $200.00 steps from where i'm standing he has a whole media that's here to cover every single thing he does so he could wal

allan thank you. well in a further step away from the actions of the previous trump administration joe biden has already rolled back a number of hardline immigration policies including halting funding for the us mexico border wall but as john holeman reports now from mexico city his central plan is to tackle violence and poverty in the region to stop migrants fleeing to the u.s. in the 1st place. one of president biden's 1st executive actions to stop the funds to build this. is pretty to sis is one of his signature projects of course it won't leave the u.s. wide open there was already a significant amount of fencing and security on the border but activists say it's an important gesture or they must bear knew that we can't spend a single penny more on the construction on a wall of hate of shame a racist well. i mean it's can president under his man well lopez obrador is hoping for more a path to citizenship for undocumented migrants already in the united states the case is here they were ready we've be

supporters on capitol hill earlier this month alan fischer joins us live from the bureau in washington allan just take us through the choreography of the big day tomorrow. well there's going to be 2 events essentially what you have is the departure of one president and then the inauguration of another donald trump the 1st president not to attend the inauguration of a successor since 869 and andrew johnson who is also a president who was impeached by congress so donald trump will leave the white house he wore head to andrews air force base just outside washington d.c. there his aides have arranged a military sendoff there will be trips to inspect there is the possibility of a $21.00 gun salute there is also the distinct possibility of a military fly past than donald trump will ascend a red carpet which will be laid out especially for him on to air force one and he will fly off to florida which of course he will remain president until just before midday on wednesday over on the other side we have joe biden who will stay at blair house just across from white house with his wife dr jill biden th

for some reporting from the white house allan thank you. well for the 1st time the united states has recorded more than 4000 daily deaths from the coronavirus that's top infectious disease expert is warning the number of deaths and infections is likely to keep rising especially after people traveling over the holiday season were brunell's reports from los angeles. covert 19 deaths in the us reached a new record peak on thursday with more than 4000 perishing from the virus los angeles is one of the epicenters of a pandemic that is raging out of control over 1000 is now everywhere and infecting more people than ever a test positivity rate is 21.6 percent countywide at our drive through and walk to testing set in the city of los angeles it's 25.13 percent 259 people died from cova 19 in los angeles on wednesday more than all the homicides in the city last year in all more than 11000 deaths have been recorded in los angeles since the pandemic began we are truly in a crisis mode right now california's public health officials have ordered the sta

so you heard allan referring to the 25th amendment to the constitution and there is a lot of discussion surrounding it in specifically to remove president donald trump so that amendment was added to the constitution back in 1967 and it clarifies the presidential line of succession and sets out a process for filling the vice presidency if that office becomes vacant but it also created a way to remove a sitting president now if the vice president and a majority of the cabinet believe quote that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office then the vice presidential immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting presidents the president can get his authority back by objecting in writing and if the vice president and cabinet disagree then congress has 3 weeks to decide the issue of the president gets his powers back unless 2 thirds of both the house and the senate agree to his removal bruce fein is a former us associate deputy attorney general and constitutional lawyer he says that there are grounds for using the 25th amendment to remove trump a

won the election he didn't live now to the white house and our correspondent there alan fischer so allan was saying tight security in effect 50 capitals in 50 states but give us a sense of how tight is tight. well i've never seen anything like this in washington d.c. you've got to remember no the president says 975 hours away from ending it will be mid day on wednesday that joe biden or become president among and i'm president and security operation secret service always takes the lead in operations like this 'd but there is law enforcement from all 'd 'd federal organizations and washington d.c. and of course 23rd is national guardsmen with the ability to call up 5000 more people at the emergency management agency and they've also staged ambulances and food and drink at various points in washington d.c. and just outside with the intention of being able to call 'd anything up if there is any problem today or on wednesday night there had been calls on the internet for big protests in washington on sunday security services seem to think that that may well have gone away or certainly ed awa

inauguration on january 20th helen fisher is joining us from the white house so how unusual is this allan for a president not to attend the inauguration of the president elect's. well it is incredibly unusual but let's set that aside just for a 2nd just in the last though we've seen the text of a letter that nancy pelosi the speaker of the house has sent to the chairman of the joint chiefs the head of the military in the united states and it really is quite staggering in the circumstances let me just read part of it to you she says i spoke to chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley to discuss of vailable precautions for present to preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities are accessing launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike the situation of this unhinged president could not be more dangerous i mean must do everything that we can to protect the american people from his unbalanced assault on our country and our democracy. for the speaker of the house to do that is really unique i can't think of another time in american history when something like th

developments as they stand a moment alan fisher is following all of this from the white house 1st of all allan tell us about these attempted precautions that nancy pelosi is trying to take. a remarkable intervention by the speaker of the house of course a democrat nancy pelosi got in touch with mark milley who is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff that is the overall body that looks after the united states military and she said to him a note saying that the president was on hand in fact she said in a letter to a colleague's this morning i spoke to the chief of the joint chiefs of staff to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities accessing the launch codes and i'm sorry to interrupt you but we're just hearing from joe biden now. for the family of a couple officer. sickening who has died the line of duty our sympathies and our concerns go out for him to his family . and the people responsible should be held accountable and they will be but today today i'm pleased to announce the latest members of our economic team with this wi

thank you allan. and still ahead on al-jazeera nicolas maduro tightens his great bond venezuela as the new national assembly is so named. a city in against violence pakistans has our community demands action after 10 coal miners 2nd. it's time for the perfect gentlemen. sponsored point qatar airways however we've got a real cold blast setting in across northern parts of china through the korean peninsula and it means more snow to come for japan over the next couple of days little weather system pulling out of the way here i said started to open now when it's turning a little lighter for a time but signs of what's to come with some snow starting to fade in across the sea of japan that sea effect snow becoming more widespread across that western side of japan as we go on through thursday eventually making its way further east on the other side of the mountains clear a cold weather coming in behind in seoul with a top temperature of minus 11 celsius in the heat of the day there's that crisp sunshine acro

protests in all 50 states live now to alan fischer who's outside the white house for us so obviously allan that the relevant authorities assuming here there is clear and present danger that somebody will try something. but there's also. certainly a thought but the sheer sure force that we've seen over the last 4 or 5 days with 20000 national guardsmen moving in to the capital area with numerous members of other branches of law enforcement making their presence felt of the huge security cordon that has been employees than washington d.c. and covered quite extensively in all media across the united states that that may well have discouraged many people from heading to washington d.c. there is still a concern and not letting their guard down because of course of the scenes that we saw 10 days ago when the morgue moved towards the capitol and started to break into the building causing all the chaos that they did but you can certainly see just from my personal experience walking in just in the last hour or so things are certainly a lot more organized on wednesday and thursday when the barrier s

house so allan just talk us through the order for events in just about an hour's time sir. well the house will gather they will have a vote it's only the democrats and their team will lay out the case for impeachment it's possible that some people may speak in defense we've already had from the likes of jim jordan very close ally presented with the medal of freedom or monday he might well argue against the whole process is certainly claiming that it would divide the country even though he was one of the people who of course voted against the certification of the electoral college votes even though there was no evidence to back up the claims that he was making in the house chamber there will then likely be a vote it's almost certainly going to go through and we know that there are support there from republicans liz cheney who is the number 3 republican in the house she's the daughter of dick cheney remember that name vice president under george w. bush she has already said that donald trump is essentially a disgrace to his office and the orth that he took to protect the cons

as well thanks for your time on the al-jazeera news hour so our correspondent allan was pointing out that obviously the democrats want to hold the president to account and then ban him from running for future office by taking him through that senate trial but for the republicans what's their political calculation. well this is what we have to see i mean you mentioned in your earlier report that then republican leader mitch mcconnell has stated that he is open to looking at the evidence and it's clear that the relationship between mcconnell and trump has grew up and down you know mcconnell work to vote in vict crump and after senate trial he would bring along a number of well with and the question is whether it would be 6 it would be enough republicans that they would need at least 70 republicans in order to convict. after a trial so that's the big question here goes along with the conviction if you decides to vote and that will he bring enough votes with him to make sure that trump is convicted and of course there is no precedent off a former presidents being subject to impeachment t

very very urgent coded legislation that is also needed ok to then hide your constant capitol hill now allan fish at the white house anyone at home behind you there. here we can hear the helicopter it's just ticking over at the moment and will leave very shortly the president heading to alan moore in texas as we pointed out yesterday not to the alamo that's in san antonio this is down to the border with mexico where he's going to look at some of the war that has been built of course you remember donald trump said he was going to build a wall from sea to shining sea that's 3200 kilometers from the coast all the way over to california but he has managed to build about 640 kilometers and not all of that is new wall but he's going down there to hail his immigration policy how it's made america safer how you managed to stop the caravans coming up from central america this of course being his 1st public appearance since we saw him address the rally or just over the other side of the south lawn or in whedon's state will be interesting to see whether or not he makes any comment there is a pool going

there was no way past allan mcgregor, though.anged after this, bitton brought down morelos, and his side's chances, as he was sent packing. the goal when it came shortly afterwards was scrappy. callum mcgregor shouldering the ball but not quite all of the blame. the damage had already been done. commentator: and that is that. mind the gap, celtic do have games in hand but it's 19 points clear for steven gerrard's side. so, a huge result for rangers, a big blow for celtic, but today, here in this city, it was about so much more than football. this was glasgow united — united in remembrance and in a determination that the 66 people who came along here 50 years ago to watch their team and never returned home, will never be forgotten. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, ibrox stadium. so confirmation of that result — rangers beating celtic 1—0. elsewhere aberdeen missed the chance to move within striking distance of celtic with a goalless draw against dundee united at pittodrie. hamilton academical are off the bottom of the table with a 3—0

if there's been any fallout at the white house and speak to alan fischer he's joining us from there allan there been some resignations and a lot of talk about possible other resignations do we expect to see more. well certainly we've seen mick mulvaney who was of course a former chief of staff to donald trump he has resigned from his position as special envoy to northern ireland partly called might pompei or his direct boss the secretary of state just in the last few hours and said he because of the scenes that he saw 'd on 'd their wedding day we also know that stephanie grisham who was 'd the press secretary who managed to go through the period of being the press secretary with her holding a single briefing she moved on to become chief of staff to 1st lady malani a trump she is also resigned couple of junior staffers in the press office of also decided that they're going to there are rumors that others might follow elaine chao is the name of i've been hearing over the last few hours she is the transport secretary that she might resign what is interesting about elaine chao is not only is

distribution of wealth meanwhile the pressure is mounting for president trump's removal from office allan. and for others as well let's start with president trump certainly looks as if the impeachment proceedings are going to go ahead in congress early next week with a number of congressmen and women willing more sions of impeachment against the president when they get the 2 thirds in both houses highly unlikely the leader of the republicans in the house say this is not the sort of thing that the country needs to be dealing with 12 days before the end of the trump presidency but there are certainly those who believe this is the time to act to send a message not only that if the proceedings continue after january the 20th after donald trump has left office and he is impeached then not only would he be the 1st american president to be impeached twice the other difficulty is that he wouldn't be able to run for federal office ruling him out of running for the presidency in 2024 as he has speculated about you know is that a benefit to the republicans or is it a pin for the republicans that's s

joins us now so allan it's been a an extraordinary couple of weeks couple of couple of years in fact but culminating in this impeachment of president the 1st president to be impeached for a 2nd time. is it really only january the 13th. feels doesn't. really quite incredible i mean donald trump we are told is preparing to make a statement it will be released in the coming hours quote when that will happen we're not entirely sure but after the vote which surely will confirm his impeachment we're expecting that statement the course the big question for the trump campaign is how do they release it in the past it's gone on to twitter or it's going on to facebook or even on to the you tube channel those are all channels and platforms that are no denied to donald trump and to the donald trump campaign and really anything to do with donald trump and so perhaps because this is a presidential issue rather than a campaign issue it may well be released on the white house page itself that is something that clearly we'll be thinking about in the oval office let me just take a look yeah there is a

which he will get when he walks into the oval office and sits down behind the old resolute desk ok allan thank you very much alan fischer correspondent the overlooking of the white house you're watching al-jazeera. welcome if you're just joining us my name's peter dhabi the agenda today of course dominated by one story the u.s. inauguration of joe biden in the past hour or so donald trump left the white house for the last time in his presidency he's leaving washington ahead of joe biden's inauguration it is a break with tradition usually at the parting president attends the success of swearing in ceremony mr biden is set to take the oath of office in just under 3 hours time. from the white house mr trump headed to joint base andrews where a departure ceremony was held in his honor he touted his record on the economy and was joe biden's incoming administration success. i will always fight for you. i will be watching i will be listening and i will tell you that the future of this country has never been better i wish the new administration great luck and great success. i think they'll have

who's on the balcony there with the white house behind him allan let's just talk about the nitty gritty of the past 12 hours or so we've heard we know more about the biden executive orders but can we talk 1st about the donald trump pardons steve bannon why did he decide to do that because we think people were saying to him look that might be a little bit dangerous for you mr president because you've got to come back to go on trial. the understanding is that he went back and forth over whether or not department steve bannon in fact really slowed down the whole issuing of the lest we are told that the list was really by late on tuesday pretty much finalized but they couldn't get at this asian from donald trump over whether steve benen would be on the list or not he was added to he was taken off and then he was added to it in the end no steve bannon has been charged with essentially conspiracy to defraud getting people to contribute to building the border wall 'd and spending the money on things that he wanted to spend the money on on himself essentially but he still hadn't gone to court b

efforts to make sure that they went ok alan fischer there bring us the latest live from atlanta georgia allan thank you very much. let's stay. with this and head up to washington d.c. where we can join gabriel elizondo gave a pretty stunning revelation coming out of washington that leaks call have people been reacting to that. well i would say a mix of shock and outrage quite frankly is what we're hearing from many lawmakers on capitol hill and elsewhere here in washington give you a little sample of what we've been hearing some of the reaction house judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler in a statement saying that trump very well could have subjected himself to criminal liability and what he said on that recording there amy clopas sure the senator from minnesota staying in that insinuating that trump could have been breaking the law by what he was saying on that tape and then chuck schumer the senate minority leader the top democrat in the senate saying that you want to investigate election fraud start with this and then delete linked to the entire one hour recording donald trump and then

until after the inauguration simply to keep the numbers much tighter in the city center and allan just away from the security issue for a moment so we heard from the president elect joe biden who's unveiled his 1 point one trillion dollar economic rescue package what's in knots. well good news for american families those have qualified for the checks in the past the $600.00 checks this time he says they'll be $1400.00 checks for them is also going to be 3 $150000000000.00 for front line walkers and essential workers and small businesses that will help them over the coming bump that they're experiencing and remember around $10000000.00 jobs in the u.s. haven't been replaced since they were lost way back in march last year there's going to be money to for school reopening 400000000000 for increased testing we know that joe biden wants to get 100000000 tests done in his 1st 100 days what there could be some problem though with this because as much as joe biden would like to get this through congress and of course come january 22nd you will have the votes to do it in both the house and the

hill heidi for the moment thank you let's go to alan fischer now who joins us from the white house so allan as we were hearing efforts are definitely ramping up to remove president trump from the white house we actually had any response or reaction from the man himself. you know it's a completely different world isn't it 4 days ago where we dilute honest twitter feed to find out exactly what he'd been saying we know he'd be angry about any move to try and attack him politically which he would see the impeachment but nothing from the white house he's due to hold a medal of freedom ceremony he's awarding not to jim jordan that's a controversial choice he's a republican congressman who actually led the defense of donald trump in the house at the last impeachment hearing and we were told there is a possibility that the president might make some remarks but the last 2 events he's had for medal of freedom ceremonies have been held essentially and private some would suggest in shame behind closed doors with nor private media there it's just been the white house there are cameras there are video ca

ok borish allan's there for us live at our capital which is just outside london thank you. european union officials say the drug maker astra zeneca has pulled out from a meeting on co the 19 vaccine supply. the c.e.o. of astra zeneca said a deal with the youth of 400000000 doses was quote not a contractual commitment. as a company only promise to try its best to deliver the quality quantity without any guarantees his comments follow and go from the e.u. off to astra zeneca was forced to cut supplies citing production problems. in lebanon people are continuing their protest against measures and the da a state of the economy. security forces were deployed to the northern city of tripoli to protect government buildings at least 60 people have been injured since monday saying a caller is in tripoli and says most people that call abide by rules of the government doesn't provide them with any help. here in tripoli if you can see behind me but it doesn't look like there is a lockdown the people are defying a 24 hour curfew a very strict lockdown and a lockdown where there is only

pandemic economy i'm glad to say we have our senior political analyst moment bashara back with us allan was talking about a few minutes ago about the the executive orders that joe biden said that he's going to sign on day one later today but also how he's aware of that the ways of office that the responsibility it carries but as as those tweets we were showing just a few members ago go to show that there's a there's a lot of humdrum in running the country as well and that you've got to make time feel friends and allies around the world as well than do all of the essentially quite dull things that come with governing a country. yes indeed look. i know i'm sure a lot of americans a lot of europeans a lot of others are you know sighing the relief that there's a person a president that they know that he's from french and oh he's mainstream he's multilateral he's liberal these open he's experienced he's institutional. he's a grandfather figure and as we've heard today he can settle on eyes about civility and hope and truth and some software so all of that is really good and and he has 48 yea

trump has over the republican party even though his power as president is obviously ebbing away and allan just reminds us how crucial this senate seat is that we're seeing the president the outgoing president of the united states to send there but also the democratic party sending their big guns why is it drawing this firepower from both sides. because it all controls the makeup of the senate at the moment the republicans have 48 seats i did emma cuts have 40 seats that republicans have 50 seats the democrats have 48 there are 2 vacancies and so whoever wins this if he when both seats essentially has control of the senate no the democrats are oversleep hoping that they can get those 2 seats that were given a 5050 tie and when come the harvest becomes vice president she will have the casting vote in the senate that's the way it has always been so joe biden can then push forward with his agenda knowing that he has control of the house of representatives the senate and of course the white house so that is why this is so important that people are saying why is this election taking place know

pour over for years to come it is indeed alan fischer there 'd a current us live from atlanta georgia allan thank you very much indeed there is all over reaction coming in this hour vice president elects come one harris described what could be heard in the recordings as an act of desperation and they are about their recorded conversation. was yes certainly the boys in desperation. most certainly then. and it was. all the abuse of power by the president and the united states. well let's get more now from gabriel elizondo he joins us live from washington d.c. i gave that was the vice president elect speaking there but there has been what's of reaction coming out after that call recording was released and then just talk us through the main thrust of the reactions we've seen so far. in one word shock i think that's what you're seeing a lot of people that are commenting about this here in washington just a little over an hour ago we heard from hank johnson he's a congressman from the state of georgia and he tweeted that trump needs to step down now but he also said that on monday that he would b

well who allan about i think we need a bit set a task of randomness we need to be as we are walking doing what it is that we do what we need to be paying attention to where we are where one who is behind us who is in front of us we also need to be. less of a target if we go shopping we need to take and put out a shopping gift in our trunk rather didn't put it in the car because people are walking around looking in cost testing condos alternately we need to make sure that we are making last even more of a target in your break because of the times and say instead of one on stress that individuals and families of children have a result of cold but then we're going to seem people who are victims of been victimized by the stress and other things that are happening you're going to we're going to see certain things happen all are happening that. i'm not here in d.c. we've seen a rash of automobile. where. people look for and into a gas station or gas in the car while they go inside it leave their car run into somebody jumps in. it runs off when you need to cut your caught off you need to take in

over american politics american public life even after he leaves the oval office in 6 these time and allan what are we hearing about the president donald trump state of mind in the aftermath of the 2nd impeachment. well obviously we would normally consult twitter to see how he was there was the statement that he issued last night the difficulty with that in the view of many critics was that there was no concession no acknowledgement that joe biden won a free and fair election no acceptance that he would be the president no confirmation that he would invite him to the white house so for many people particularly in the dark reaches of the web who are trump supporters they are suggesting that donald trump still hasn't conceded the election that he still wants people to continue with the legal battle even though he's saying that he doesn't want to see any violence whether that message hits some of those deep dark corners of the web we're not entirely sure there's reporting here in the united states just overnight that donald trump is very angry with those closest to him the likes of jerry kris

coronavirus is under control now what saves us money it costs the aviation sector dearly not just big allan's are affected but also airports a plane landing in dortmund it's a pleasant surprise the local airport has lost an enormous amount of business since the koran of ours struck a hard time for its new director to take charge. of this now i mean we all know what is day 2 out of the pandemic and it's having serious effect there's been a 90 percent decline in german air traffic and about 75 percent in dortmund the 2nd drop and. midday rush hour and nothing but emptiness. processed almost 3000000 passengers and 29000 but at least a few flights are lined up for the next day all with one airline all connecting with eastern europe. i'm in the is basically the gateway to eastern europe there are often trips which have to be made their business trips and that's why that kind of traffic is pretty stable. a corner of ira's test center has moved into the arrivals area making camp where car rentals are normally found every passenger landing and dart board is tested about a 1000 every day that gives an

are being taken again and again by a syrian regime to prioritise not giving the syrian people any allan's of their basic human rights forcing any kind of opposition and dissent into its dungeons where people are still to this day arrested and tortured and raped in syrian prison cells these are the decisions of the syrian government and the international community must continue to step up to provide humanitarian assistance to help those who are in the most need but their primary responsibility for all this falls on the assad regime and its allies joshua just about to a point that you mentioned earlier about lebanon is bashar al assad's plan basically to sit tight he's overseeing a country where half the population has been displaced big parts of the country are not under his control there's a fiscal crisis in lebanon and iran is on the more and more sanctions and a lot if not all of the syrian oil that he needs in damascus comes from or through iran. yes you know it's not going anywhere he's fought this war in order to win unfortunately syria is you know as we know is extremely divided alo
