president trump from office. he is charged with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. given the two thirds majority is required to convict the president and republicans holding majority, no one has ever expected that to ppen. here's the most senior republican in the senate sen. mcconnell: i urge everyone of our colleagues to casttu the conson, the common good, it clearly requires a vote to acquit the president of these charges. not all republicans took that advice. here's the former presidential candidate mitt romney. sen. romney:o t future generations of americans who look at the record of this trial, they will note i was among the senators who determined what the president did was wrong. grievous wrong. ros: democrats are likel to be fighting a losing battle. these 100 senators are impartial jurors, in practice, this about politics. the democrats were never close to havinthe numbers they eded. so why did they do it? here's the mt senior senator, chuck schumer. former country, to interfere in our elections, gets up the core of what our democracy is about. if americansie b that they don't determine who is president, who is governor, who is senator, that some foreign potentate out of reach of any law enforcement can decide our elections, that is the beginning of the ero of democracy. the center of this trial is the accusation that president trump inappropriately pressured ukraine to investigate his mocratic rival joe biden and mr. biden's son hunter. into any 14, hunter biden took a job at a ukrainian energy company at thee sme his father who was vice president at the time was pushing for the company to be investigated for corruption. nald thinks that is suspect. there is no evidence to back it up. you have to fast-forward to july of last year. president trump gave uaine's president a call to congratulate him on his election w and in that call, he raised the issue of investigating the bidens. part of an effort trumpthis is administration to connect that possible investigation to the offer of invitation to the whi house andhe release of military aid to ukraine. that is the background. itlet's get into the ps. gary donahue is live with us from washington. as we head to the last stage of this trial, is it curious to assess on one level, very lhistoric, on anotheel, the outcome seemed inevitable. gary: it is amazing how it can be so dramatic, can't it? we have in many ways known the outcome of this all along. guess.was always a chance, i but it was a remote chanwo the presidend find himself with two thirds of his party against him. it didn't happen and it wap not going ton. here we are today on the verge of yet another historic vote. only the third time in the history of the country that a president has faced this kind of vote. and in an election year, and here with him approaching a potential second term, running for a second term. all crucial moments really, crucial pointpein this hment trial. the big unknown is what will the impact be of this? what impact will it have on the politics of america over the next nine months or so? ros: on that point, let me pick up on a couple miings before back to you. impeachment as gary alluded to is always a political calculation for the democrats. we can't judge its impact but we know donald trump's approva ratings are up. these are gallup figures. in september, his approval ratings were 43%. by the end of the hearings in the house of representatives, the first stage of the process impeachment, the approval ratings were up to 45%. now they are standin at 49%. that is the highest of mr. trump' presidency. for context, barack obama's highest approvalating was 69%. since world war ii, the average approvalating for a president has been 53%. nonetheless, mr. trump clearly sees momtum in his presidency and we heard that in his speech. the state of the union address last night pres. trump: jobs are booming. incomes are soaring. poverty is plummeting. crime is falling. confidence is surng. and our country is thriving and highly respected again. ros: and the divide in american politics was in full view during the address. president trump received a resounding applause and chance of four mor years from republicans as summa democrats left early. this was the response of the democratic speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. yes, in case he did not see her ripping up the set she ripped up another set. that was making it clear she did rhetoric.ve of the president's this was her speaking in the corridors of capitol hill afterward. speaker pelosi: it was a manifesto of mistruths. d? what do you think about him not shaking your speaker pelosi: we always extend a hand of friendship. >> world -- are you invited to another state of the union? speaker pelosi: hopefully not. i'm expecting another president. nine months from today. ros:me the frepublican speaker, newt gingrich, was unimpressed. he says as state of thouse, i'm insulted by this viciously partisan action of tearing up the speech. insults are it should be censored. this is the republican congreman chuck fleischmann. >> i was so saddened because whether you are republican or democrat, ie saye americans first but we must be civil with each other, with one another. i think th is somptant. regardless of your ideology, regardless of your political posture or stance, we should be civil. when we are in that chamber. ros: bbc reality check looked at the presidentat speech. ne point, he claimed this, we have created 7 million jobs and the unemployment rate is the lowest in half a century. thos claims are true. the unemployment rate is at 3.5%. the lowest since december 1969. the president also claimed, i'm thrilled to report to you, i will show you this, that tonight our economy is the best it has ever been. that is not true. while the economis doing well, it has been stronger for periods under barack obama, bill clinton and in the economic booms of the 1950's and 1960's. we will bring in gary donahue we use the state of the uniono look fow clues for a president may seek reelection. did we get any last night? gary: it is interesting, there o was an awful l stagecraft in last night state of t union.te it was made fovision. a man who has worked a lot of his life in television. also a lot of messages on the economy. that may mean those key advisors who have been talking to him all along about picking up the economy, making that a much more central part of hipitch, maybe they are getting a hearing more than they were before. boring, didn't he? maybe they persuaded him that those pocketbook issues are key in an election year as well as the other stuff. ros: thank you. we will talk to you tomorrow. that is gary live with us in washington. the spread of the coronavirus is accelerating. listen to what the world health organization has told us today. >>n the last 24 hours, we had the most cases in a single day. it

and these different countries. an hwhether they areping. jennifer: i really worry about these approaches. simply, i don't think they are going to be effective at keeping i think countries have to assume there may be virus already circulating that they are not finding. foey are only looking at i people who are traveling from china. we know this epidemic has been going on for weeks before we noticed it. we really have no good sense of where in the world the virus is transmitting. what we d know is these measures can be incredibly disrtive. i am particularly worried that when we target measures at china, we may do things like interrupt the supply of critical medical supplies. china is a major producer of this, they have taken drastic measures, i'm worried about the stability of medical supply chains. rather than isolate china and penalize it, it is in every country's best interest to work with china and help themn et a handle ois epidemic. and focus internally on efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus and to protect those who may be most vulner cle from it. take measures to change the speed with which it spreads, public health measures.an coughing hisolating cases. those are things that can reduce the amount of people who become infected. in terms of less deadly, it would be great to have medicines and vaccines, those are paybably a longff traditional medical care is also going to be important. we need to make sure that the hospitals and health c have all of the resources they need to treat severely ill patients and help them recover om their infection.
