beach in florida close to don trump's residence but 1st let's go to alan fischer on capital hill so allan a little bit of i think there's a little bit i think we can say was a little bit of a surprising development i know it was very much up in the air but it seemed a lot of people were thinking they're not going to actually call me with this is and this is going to wind down and be over pretty soon right vet is not happening. at the end of business on friday it didn't look as if there were going to call any witnesses it looked as if we'd moved to closing statements on saturday possibly a vote at some point in the next few hours and it will be done and dusted there was a couple of reports in the united states overnight one from a republican congresswoman from washington who said that she had a conversation with kevin mccarthy the leader of the republicans in the house who'd been speaking to donald trump on the 6th of january and that got very heated because he called for donald trump to send help because the security lines here had been breached and he had said to kevin mccarthy maybe tho

so allan let's start with how things will kick off and the big question today is whether or not they're going to end up calling witnesses right. there's been a huge debate overnight among the democrats in the house managers about whether or not they should call witnesses key to be called would be kevin mccarthy the leader of the republicans in the house for the telephone call he had with donald trump asking him to send help when the capitol was overrun and also to call mike pence the vice president all about when he was at risk and when did the president know that and whether or not the president expressed any concern now the debate is the thing that senators have already made up their minds they know the timeline they know what happened they're well aware of all the facts but many of them decided they're standing by donald trump anyway and they are going to acquit so the question that the house managers are juggling with is there any value in calling witnesses at this stage given that the votes are probably accounted for we know that mitch mcconnell has in the last hour he of course is

fishies on capitol hill so allan way do we stand right now. we're on a quorum call which is essentially just a technical measure that you can put in place in the senate to give yourself a bit of time to think about things so we know that both sides are actually sitting discussing how they're going to proceed with the whole idea of witnesses as you say it was a bipartisan vote 55 republicans 55 democrats and republicans voted to call witnesses 45 all republicans voted against it i'm told on the floor of the senate there were harsh words between ron johnson big supporter of donald trump from wisconsin and mitt romney former presidential candidate of course for the republicans who's been a critic of donald trump he voted to call witnesses ron johnson didn't like that just to clarify something i said earlier a boat lindsey graham he was a surprise vote to call witnesses he's a big fan of donald trump know someone sent me a note saying always appeared on fox to say the reason he wants to call witnesses is it going to call the f.b.i. apparently this

fessor joining us from capitol hill allan so tell us exactly what's happening right now. they're going through there all call of all $100.00 senators it's a procedural motion then they will get into the debate on whether or not this hearing is constitutional donald trump's lawyers argue that it's not the can't be impeached after you leave office the democrats say that look if that was the case if that's what the founding fathers meant there's nothing to stop a president in the last couple of weeks in office even in the last day committing some huge big crime and then walking into the office thinking i'm free and clear so they will argue very clearly over the next 4 hours that donald trump can be held accountable for the actions on january the 6th we're talking about things that you've got to watch out for trusting that senator leahy who is a democrat he is the man who will oversee these proceedings normally it would be the chief justice of the supreme court of the united states it was john roberts almost a year ago the reason he's not in position no is because the argumen

even cameron was born in breach of allan sterling in 1001. the son of a presbyterian minister cameron soon outgrew scotland. in 1902 he became an american citizen basis and driven cameron dreaming of winning the nobel prize. on the front teens of psychiatry. i think it's very easy for people to say that this is the story of one patient or one family and some people downplay it because of that. to see this only and simply as a horrendous experience that happened in montreal in the 1950 s. is to really miss the big picture. in 1951 britain america and canada to secret meeting in the ritz carlton hotel in montreal . 2 projects were discussed the 1st was the program. in spite of everything a man can do a falls into the hands of the enemy. if you were aware of what was going down in enemy territory. on the enemy lines. your 1st feeling might be one of helplessness as if suddenly the whole world a dropped off from under you leaving you with the enemy's mercy. such a feeling is quite understandable for a minute or 2 to see it stuns for a survival ev

and has been following all the testimony very closely allan gymnastics much effect on scene before the events of january 6th when right has invaded the capitol building the question is is this going to be enough to convince those 16 republicans to vote to convict trump. no one can sit through that and not be moved and many of the republican senators i suspect were seeing this for the 1st time we're told that james langford was actually quite emotional at the end of the last couple of years when there's lisa murkowski who is a republican senator from alaska has said that she will obviously listen to what the defense have to see when they make their presentation but essentially saying how can someone sit through that and not think that donald trump will never become president of the united states again and that may be what the democrats can achieve of this because as you see the numbers at the moment do tend to stack up and they me peel a few senators over to their side maybe as many as 10 but that will mean these still fall short of the 67 votes that they need in the senate to convict d

so did relations allan thanks very much on the fisher in washington d.c. l m a m r supporters of the military coup marched in the largest city young gone and faced off against opponents of the power grab violence broke out in some parts of the city the tensions come as facebook has banned me in my eyes military from its platforms it's called hyla reports. early on thursday about a 1000 marchers took to the streets of yangon voicing their support for the jointer and its takeover of myanmar's democratically elected leadership they are flying the flag of the tatmadaw the official name here for the military. they were met by some protesting against the coup but later photos appear to show military supporters with knives and other weapons witnesses said they threaten journalist then came reports of scuffles and attacked by supporters of myanmar as john against anti kook protesters was caught on c.c.t.v. the video shows a man being assaulted by an armed group. despite this antic who protesters gathered at the university of yangon said they will continue with the

allan nairn and i returned to the capital dili.tioned former president bill clinton. >> in 1999 in april, the indonesian military and the militias massacred 50 peop under the rectory. they hacked them with machetes. two days later, admiral blair, the commander for theacific, your commander, met with the engine commander -- an engine commander. he made no mention of the massacre. during the same period, they rampaged in downtown diland attacked a house with refugees. yet you continue for months with the military. >> what is your question, sir? i can't answer the question you asked about admiral blair. you'll have to ask him because i'm not aware of that. >> he was working for you. >> i understand that. i think, first of all, i don't believe america or any of the other countries -- a long time before 1999, going up to the 1970's, suffering the people of east timor. i don't think we can defend everything we did. amy: almost a year later on february 15, 2003, millions of people around world rallied to say no to the iraq war. democracy

good stuff there as everything is booming, and now, bringing in allan boomer on the phone comin in from momentum advisors. and what are you looking at the wall of winning? >> well, yes, it is a lit bit of euphoria, but where i am looking is the stocks that missed the party. i am looking for the companies that did not rally much last year that have not rallied much this year, but where i think that there is a lot of value like when i am looking to buy the earnings, and the earnings growth, i don't want to overpay. i want to buy the companies that are overlooked by the market. so one area that i am looking is that pharmaceutical companies not involved in the covid drugs like bristol-myers-squibb, and that is a company that is involved in a lot of important drugs, but they are not as sexy today. they are involved in prostate cancer drugs and drugs around blood clots and arthritis and drugs that are not getting attention today, but it is a drug that is trading at 13 or 14 times earnings and they pay out a quarter of the earnings, and they have a 3% dividend earnings yield, so i love bristol

palm beach in florida close to dan trump's residence but 1st let's go to alan fischer on capitol hill allan so we heard. patrick please saying this is adjourned until 1230 when they meet again where do we pick up what happens next. well apparently according to jeff merkley who is senator from oregon they are discussing at the moment just how many witnesses will be a load by both sides both the democrats and republicans want to get this done quickly the don't want those dragging on for weeks on end it means that the trial will probably go on for another couple of days until they can get the depositions as so they're talking about whether or not there will be 2 or 3 witnesses or perhaps as many as 10 both sides will come to an agreement they are discussing witnesses at the moment a decent miller who is one of donald trump's closest advisers has been seen on capitol hill with a list this long and includes everyone who is included in their 11 minute video that the eared on friday they're not going to get that many more chance to be honest of getting the tooth fairy in the easter bunny on the li

allan talk us through the logistics now when can we expect this trial to be over. or there is a lot to get through or indeed to we're not expecting to hear a great deal from donald trump's defense team they will take the floor on friday they have 18 hours to do what they want to do 16 hours to do they want to do they're not going to take all of that they're probably going to use less than half the time allocated to them so we could be done by the end of business on friday what happens after that is there will be a vote on whether or not they want to call witnesses that seems unlikely at this stage and then they will ask questions of both teams of the prosecution and the defense they want stand up and ask these questions they'll be written questions sent to the chair they will then be given a chance to answer and that's expected to take all of saturday which means we could be moving to a vote on sunday one of the reasons that the defense team is going to take a great deal of time is that the constitutional question has already been answered they will make the point

well alan fischer is live for us now from the white house and allan explain the sense of urgency around biden's plan. well they really want to get it done quickly not least because of the job figures that came out in the last few hours that the unemployment rate dropped from 6.7 to 6.3 good news you think not really that's because a lot of people have just left the job market they don't see the prospect of the economy getting up anytime soon so they don't see the point in looking for what the u.s. economy created 49000 jobs in the last month and again you might think women that's quite good isn't it but no it isn't because normally they get 105000 jobs at least a month being created that's where they need to be that's the baseline so you can see they're well well under where they need to be performing so joe biden says look we need this 1.9 trillion we've got to go big we've got to spend a lot of money he's talking about $1400.00 checks for everyone across the united states that qualifies he's talking about more money for vaccination programs more money for schools more money for person

the forward in the inaugural edition was written by allan nevins. he was not only then, wrote the forward for the inaugural edition, he was the chairman of presidents for kennedy and he had read the manuscript and proved to make sort of what's historically accurate. there was ample political motivation for him to highlight this alleged refusal to bow to political pressure. kennedy, then senator kennedy in 1957 had presidential ambitions. writing soon after brown versus board of education. he was well aware a catholic from massachusetts would need southern support to procure the democratic nomination. so in 1957 it's really important to remember that many americans considered johnson a hero. for kennedy, he was determined to carry out abraham lincoln's policies sf reconciliation with the defeated south by seeking to bind up the wounds of the nation and treat the south with mercy and fairness. johnson faced the extremist in congress who had already of course clashed with lincoln. those radicals passed who was threatening the foundation of the republic

allan just what's been revealed as spin is a dirty word but everyone does it it's a tricky business high risk high reward pull it off and you hit jackpot and no one ever finds out but when you mess it up it's a world of them barrus meant as was the case 15 years ago out of the blue a senior british diplomat develops the oddest habit of doing an inexplicable walks to the strangest of places at the same route every time now alarm bells are ringing yet but russian countered teligent decide to keep an eye on these org little habit christopher peart secretary archivist of the british embassy in moscow looking shifty as can be but then a 2nd british diplomat develops the same walking habits and during one of those walks one of the diplomats strays off the path kids a random wrong and then keeps on going to alarm bells it turned out to be a wife i device used to communicate with a russian official turned traitor. well to pour me into 2 at the time it was a novel way to organize communication between the embassies and my 6 office and agents in russia they refused to acknowledge the incident all

hence to these occasional operates at allan's you refer to them as occasional who are briggs but we were just talking about going to some of the cases there and they were fairly recent tell me something across latin america the situation with with the prisons is seems to be very similar in many latin american countries is this policy by governments or is it desperation by governments that led to this. i want to know a boat or are a we have a tremendous amount of structural issues that have been on addressed by the government but the actual government the present government and all the governments we've had and asked. we have. basically given the short amount of resources we have a disposition it's a very a very unpopular to use these resources to enact prison reform people say well if you are these people are evil dollars why should we invest in prisons why should we invest in we have got issues on money for schools we should use our money for roads and the like but that's a very short short sighted way of seeing things because if more resources are in it and are not placed in revolution

stop this is wrong you must go back we did not hear that sent out and that capitol hill in washington allan this moving at breakneck speed to talk us through what you think the highlights are today. well there was a moment of unity at the end when it was decided that they would present eugene goodman the capitol hill police officer with the congressional gold medal he was the officer who helped save mitt romney pointing him a wing from the crowd but also managed to divert the rioters away from the senate chamber for a remarkable number of minutes which probably saved a number of lives but really that was the only part of unity that we got in the boat hours of proceedings there was a lot of fractious exchanges not least donald trump's team accusing the democrats of prosecutorial negligence saying that the edited tapes that they had misrepresented tweets that they had falsified documents that is a big allegation to make the also said that this was driven by hatred by a dislike of donald trump that this was all about punishing him and that they wanted they were exercising a great the degree of

allan the biden administration has been saying of course that it wants to recalibrate its relationship with saudi arabia and we heard secretary of state and the blinken say earlier on that this was a 1st step. here's the report 4 pages that's all we get the cia not giving details on how it obtained the information that led it to conclude with a great degree of certainty that 100 been someone was behind the killing what we do know is that they had intercepted phone calls and also that relied very much on what the turkish intelligence services provided which was recordings of actually inside the consulate itself you remember that it was a top of the 2nd 2018 that jamal khashoggi went to the consulate in istanbul the intention to pick up paperwork for a forthcoming marriage he never a marriage to live again the report says that it was mohammed bin selman who saw him as such a threat to the kingdom that he wanted any steps to be taken up to and including violence to silence and that appears what happened no on the campaign trail joe biden said he was going to turn so dear arabia into a par

unconstitutional and we can cross now live to alan fischer who's following proceedings for us on capitol hill allan just walk us through what we've seen and heard so far. well you can see the 3 planks of what the democrats are arguing here 1st of all we heard from jimmy raskin who opened up the proceedings he's the lead house manager he's a democratic congressman from maryland and he essentially lead the case against donald trump and he did so in a video and it was a very telling video a very visceral a lot of the people of course who are making the decision about whether or not donald trump should face trial whether or not this is constitutional what people were actually here on what was a crime scene on january the 6th and they had no have to make that call what was interesting is that the with the also cut in donald trump's statements but more particularly his tweets as you saw the crowd moving through the capitol building donald trump's tweets essentially decrying the job of his vice president as crowds as thousands were going through the halls of the senate trying to track down in the vice pre

course he's been following all of this and the jamie raskin still holding that press conference there allan i guess it wasn't obviously it wasn't a result that the prosecution wanted but they knew all along that the strength of their case and their evidence was it was never going to change the outcome it wasn't a sway them in jars the republican senators. and that played into the decision to back down from the idea of calling witnesses certainly can hear the frustration that's there with mitch mcconnell a man who of course refused to let the senate consider the impeachment articles until after the january 20th when donald trump would leave office and then complain that the house of representatives didn't get the articles of impeachment to the senate in time essentially saying that they prove their case but at the couldn't vote to convict him because it was unconstitutional because by that point donald trump had left office so you can hear the frustration among the democrats that the that they're putting forward this argument seem to have won the argument with people like mitch mcconnell and

west palm beach florida close to donald trump's home a bit 1st alan fischer who's on capitol hill allan what are we expecting to happen today. well you'll remember the 13 minute video that was shown on tuesday should the scenes of violence on capitol hill itself that was intercut with parts of donald trump's speech and also some of the tweets that he sent out when he was 20 against mike pence is an actual was in the halls of the senate looking for the vice president allegedly to try and hang him well this time what we're going to hear from the democrats over the next 8 hours and it will be around 8 hours that they will make their case with another 8 hours on thursday it's going to be much broader and deeper much broader and deeper with more video than we've seen before this unseen. video that comes from the security cameras on capitol hill they will be used by the democrats and essentially they will sure to the senators just hope close the mobs came to actually capturing some of them you remember the. the rascal who is the congressman from maryland who's leading the democrats prosecutio

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

and allan spoke with one of the trial impeachment managers stacey plaskett she told them trump skillz is clear despite the result a majority of senators did believe us and in hearing this speech senator mcconnell they know that we prove the charges as well you know shame on them for holding themselves to an excuse that they gave themselves on a jurisdictional issue that was already resolved of course it's disappointing that the senate didn't do their duty in a manner that we felt was necessary but i think the fact that they themselves said that we prove the charges mitch mcconnell said that the evidence we had made the case should give the american people credence comfort to know that in fact it was true and history has recorded this we have seen with this president did we saw over time what he did to bring those individuals here to trying to overthrow the republic to attempt to assassinate the vice president of the united states the speaker of the house in danger all of the members not just of the house and the senate but the capitol police metropolitan police officers and the precio

watching the events unfold over the course of this evening talk us through the highlights from today allan. at the end there we saw a real piece of unity in this chamber and that was for the awarding of the congressional gold medal huge in goodman just a reminder he was the officer who directed a number of the senators away from danger more particularly mitt romney who was walking towards the rioters mitt romney not big fan of donald trump who knows what may have happened after that eugene goodman directed him to safety and also led the riot. away from the senate chamber buying vital time and so you saw both sides of the house agreeing that he should be given the highest honor that congress can present which is the congressional gold medal but apart from that there was very little sign of unity we had from donald trump's team they were claiming that this was it's certainly an unconstitutional hearing to use words like shame apocalypse see they said it was done to punish donald trump he said it was a huge trip for donald trump the democrats had wanted to impeach him since 2017 or so as you

there is that worry about the economic effect of the pandemic being far from over but nonetheless allan one of the risks of. taking such a bold step of course the question is will it work and the answer is we don't really know and of course if you ask any economist usual rule you ask for economists you get 6 opinions but joe biden believes that by going big it will be a success and the reason he thinks that is because 12 years ago when he came into the white house as the vice president to barack obama you remember that was just as the financial crisis was really beginning to bite and they put some money into the economy and the feel they didn't do enough they should have gone bigger quicker to try and protect the economy and you would have seen a much better recovery and in fact that was one of the things that joe biden got beaten up on on the campaign trail that the recovery wasn't as good as it could have been now there are some including those who are close to barack obama were talking about like summers who was his chief financial guy who said look there's a real problem here if you

thank you all right thanks very much allan fisher at the white house . 12 police officers have been arrested and charged in mexico in connection with the deaths of 19 people close to the border with the united states there charred bodies were found last week in the back of 2 burned out trucks at least 2 of them were quite a modern migrants trying to reach the last john heilemann reports now from mexico city in a warning that you might find images in his report disturbing. you know that's something that is going to go a bombshell in mexico tuesday night the killing and burning of 19 people among them guatemalan migrants was perpetrated by police said authorities in time a leap to state. at least 12 members of the state police took part in the events of the 22nd of january this theory gained traction because the crime scene was altered there's an absence of shells and bullets the police also contradicted themselves in their report of the crime and interviews with officers. the suspects are now under arrest that would be much of a consolation to bring the parents backing guatemala who suspected

happened on capitol hill here on what was a crime scene on january the 6th current thanks very much allan fisher there capitol hill let's head down to florida now away from washington d.c. where the former president is residing at his mar-a lago resort is live for us at west palm beach and the anything from the president. not a peep nick the president hasn't made any statements he is of course now off social media remember during the last impeachment trial he sent out about 140 tweets and retreats of course he's now been banned so complete silence from our log is only one thing that we actually know to be fact here or not is that the former president is that his mar-a lago estate there is plenty of reporting going on about his potential reaction to wall this some people saying that he's deeply unhappy almost screaming at the t.v. but again that is speculation there is also. some reports that many of his close aides those close to him those he may be talking to in the next few hours a deeply unhappy with his legal teams performance hence that reporting the president was potentially almost

pushing for a conviction just want revenge trump accused of inciting the january 6 riots on capitol hill allan fisher has all the details. the time team took it to markedly short time to wrap up its defense just under 4 hours it argued that the proceedings were unconstitutional were rushed and were driven by a hatred of donald trump this impeachment is completely divorced from the facts the evidence and the interests of the american people the senate should promptly and decisively vote to reject it far from promoting insurrection against the united states the president's remarks explicitly encourage those in attendance to exercise their rights peacefully and patriotically if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore this is ordinary political rhetoric you have to get your people to fight and if they don't fight we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don't fight hatred is at the heart of the house managers frivolous attempts to blame donald trump for the criminal acts of the rioters based on double here stay for hearsay statements of fringe right wing groups
