coffin's good to have you with us president donald trump has addressed the nation a day after he was acquitted at his own impeachment trial on wednesday lawmakers in the republican controlled senate found guilty of abuse of power and obstruction of congress he was alleged to have withheld military aid to ukraine to benefit his own reelection campaign out today speaking from the white house said that he is the victim of a long and corrupt process we've been going through this now for over 3 years. it was evil it was corrupt it was dirty cups. it was leakers in life there's and this should never ever. happened to another president ever. i don't know that other presidents would have been able to take it some people said no they wouldn't have but i can tell you at a minimum. you have to focus on this because it can get away very quickly no matter who you have with you if you get away very quickly it was a disgrace get away very quickly all right let's talk about the president's 1st speech after the impeachment trial and to do that i'm joined by my colleague. he is in washington on the story for us hello pablo i meet judging by the president's speech there you know saying that it could get away from you very easily can we say that any lessons have been learned from this impeachment trial. well before we get to that i would say 1st and foremost the 2 words that i would say that i got from my from that speech are triumphant and also angry now he reiterated time and time again that he's innocent he spoke once again of a word that we're very familiar to to hear from president which is a witch hunt he thanked his legal team he can thank his congressional colleagues his family and he actually even apologized to them brant and basically what we get from this is that he's the victim in all of this now for republicans to answer your question who voted to acquit him because they felt that perhaps he learned his lesson a good example would be susan collins of maine and i'm sure they're going to be asking themselves whether he actually has learned his lesson considering this speech this celebration as he called it which lasted over an hour he also had some really harsh words for mitt romney of utah who voted with the democrats who voted against equating them and also as some of the usual suspects that president. manager in the senate trial adam schiff and also the nancy pelosi the top democrat and also the speaker in the house of democrat representing of who he described as a horrible person it's interesting you mention. mitt romney because he's part of the group of religious opponents that the president talked about this morning at the national prayer breakfast trump used words such as evil he said that his opponents had used religion to justify their opposition to him including the house speaker here's what the hell speaker nancy pelosi had to say to this. and pray hard for him because he's so off the track of our constitution. our country the care our children braved the water they drink and the rest he really needs repairs so he can say whatever he wants. and i do pray for him and i do. sincerely or as you praise for the presidents the question tonight for the democrats in general is do they need prayers they've got problems of their own particularly in following that fiasco with the caucus they are all monday the democrats now we understand that the chairman of the national democratic committee has already asked for a recant busying. i mean he's saying do the vote all over again is that a realistic option. well interestingly at the moment what's being said is that exactly from reforms to took place in the iowa democratic party as actually for 20 twentieth's that it out for this to happen and it actually allows for a total recount of us and also a recount of the results is also a possibility if the results could have an impact negative or positive on who will actually be become the candidate to run again against president trump who is decided at the national convention which takes place later this year in the summer time so for the time being it looks like the state rules do permit this to take place but you know watching the media here and reading myself here from washington it's there are still some questions which remain unanswered from what has been said by the democratic national committee chairman well you know the u.s. the u.s. president he's trying to get political capital out of what happened with the caucus but we also have to remind ourselves that this fiasco has to do with the way the caucus was carried out it doesn't have to do with the democratic candidates themselves does it. no it doesn't i mean this is just what happened just to remind everybody there was an issue with the athlete was used you know to basically get the results and basically the candidates are sort of focusing on that the next primaries which are taking place in new hampshire and they basically want to move on from this but it really isn't coming out a very bad time for the democrats of course the acquittal of president trump i now have this fiasco it looks like there's a little bit of chaos and that's what's being said by the republicans i'm president at within the democratic party or the corresponding public on this day after the verdict in that impeachment trial for president from public thank you. the chinese dog to the alarm all the cool new buyers outbreak has died from that very virus police accused lead when duong spreading rumors when he 1st went out and spoke out about the virus the death toll from the outbreak now is approaching $600.00 worldwide germany and britain have announced new cases bringing the total confirmed in europe to 30 and china's capital beijing is not at the center of the outbreak but correspondent multiuse berlinger he found that the streets and cities where's are deserted as the government attempts to bring the disease under control. a rare sight in the dry winters of beijing the gate to the forbidden city covered in snow a few people have come out to take in this spectacle but getting inside is out of the question just like almost all public facilities beijing's most famous historic site remains closed i think it's good that the government took these measures we support them we appreciate even strength to measure is your. business activity has largely come to a horde across much of the capital this is usually a bustling commercial street lots of souvenir shops snack shops tourists who visit beijing usually come to spend time here today i'm the only one. every day human interaction has become suspicious this shop asked its customers to stay outside and communicate their needs from the outside. some pharmacies take the same approach everyone is wearing. because they are under it's a national emergency we stand together or we're not standing together should not be taken literally residential complexes keep strangers out in this compound visitors have to register with their id the guards look for the place of birth who are overweight people can't get any even if they live here they'll be quarantined. people from who province where the virus originated are to be isolated in this hotel discrimination against them is now rampant. at the entrance to the subway system a mandatory temperature check. at the same site as everywhere in the city blocks of space. trains are running as usual it's the passengers who are like. this circle i think some of beijing's most patients shopping area is the railway station. beijing has reported less than $300.00 cases so far but fear here has spread much faster than the virus ever could be. a scandal over the involvement of the far right in a normally obscure region regional election has shaken german politics to the core yesterday the right wing extremist alternative for germany party helped mainstream parties elect a new premier in the eastern state. well now that premier says that he will resign after nationwide outrage his resignation cannot change the fact however that a taboo has been broken a taboo against cooperating with the far right in government. just 24 hours off to becoming state premier thomas keneally announced his resignation. we will be requesting new elections and i would hazard to stain of a if the support from the office of state. this mr president so. the pressure that brazen 2 great candidates found himself on the front page of almost every german newspaper the election of the free democrats want to titian with the help of the far right a.s.d. had set off a political earthquake the shock waves reverberated all the way to south africa where the visiting and american made her position clear. up the power was this was foreseeable it must be said that this is unforgivable and that's why the result must be reversed. if the kemalist had been the head of the smallest poncy in the state parliament his election by lawmakers was only made possible with votes from the a.f.p. and i'm glad machall c.d.u. party in the state. for the 1st time in german post-war history a far right party was kingmaker. the handshake between the new state premier and their india's a f d chief b.n. hooker left many disgusted the head of their india has left party through have ok of flowers that came on his feet during the inauguration other parties joined the chorus of criticism. it's just sadism inacceptable breach of the should be elected state premier with a hefty votes out and especially with a vote of mr. de suisse with go. to a concert again with a very clear goal that they have to. enter into a joint alliance and the next day in the supposed in vienna i within hours of the vote people had gathered all of a germany to protest. demonstrations continued into thursday with protest is standing against fascism i'm rejecting the state premier who made it into office with the help of the far right i well the hills outside kabul were once used by the taliban to pound the afghan capital with rockets and mortars today the hindu kush mountain range is home to a group of enthusiastic young snowboarders now they don't have a ski lift and they get no official help but the founders of the afghan snowboarding federation say they have big plans for their sport. snowboarding seems an unlikely leisure pursuit in the hills outside the afghan capital but 1800 meters above sea level kabul is one of the highest capital cities in the world these local youths are making the most of winter in the hindu kush mountain range that surrounds the city snowboarding and. snowboarding is the new face of afghanistan we established the afghan snowboarding federation to show this new face to the world. that they can see that in a country where there is fighting and ethnic problems it's still not all about the war. and the youth is involved as well as both boys and girls. in the 90 ninety's from these very hills taliban fighters raining down artillery and rockets on kabul now they're one of the few places in the country where ahmed and his friends can snowboard in safety. another is the central province of bamiyan famous around the world as the site of one of the greatest cultural crimes in recent memory the deliberate destruction in 2001 of the ancient buddhist statues that wants looked out over the valley from this cliff face the taliban isn't just a presence in memory the group still controls around half of the country monica if the taliban come back it's impossible to snowboard because they aren't sports friendly people. they don't want pace and i don't want sports so if they come back we won't be able to snowboard. and in. the future role of the taliban in afghanistan is unclear as things stand and his mates can practice their new hobby in peace for at least as long as the snowed lasts. and you're watching news from berlin catch up next with the world of business with janell's she'll
