on the beach because it's really a continuation of the greatest which shines in the history of politics this should be removed from for that purpose because it dangerous and. this impeachment is forcing cement his anger at all to be impeached for the 2nd time for dancey for us is just pure to continue and as bad i think it's causing tremendous danger to our country for it only hoping that he will never run for anything ever again except from the police. also coming up just days before the end of the trump presidency the u.s. secretary of state is accusing iran without providing any evidence of giving al qaida a place still hot. has a new home base it is the islamic republic of iran as a result but a lot of wicked creation is poised to gain strength and capabilities. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world well we begin the day with washington's wishful thinking and its realistic expectations democrats in the u.s. house of representatives are calling on vice president might pens to exercise his constitutional authority which allows him to strip the president of all powers it would be the quickest way to remove the president following last week's seizure of the u.s. capitol by a violent mob of trump supporters if the vice president does not act which is what most people expect congress has a plan b. on wednesday the house of representatives is expected to vote to impeach president trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection the 2nd impeachment of president trump this time with bipartisan support were today truck called the impeachment threat yet another witch hunt and he rejected claims that his remarks were responsible for igniting last week's violence at the capitol. the 25th amendment is of 0 risk to me but will come back to haunt joe biden and the biden administration as expression goes be careful what you wish for the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and it is causing tremendous anger in division and pain far greater than most people will ever understand which is very dangerous for the usa especially at this very tender time the president speaking there in texas it's just moments ago let's go now to washington a bureau chief in his poll joins me now good evening to you enos the president says he wants no violence yet we all heard what he said last week to a crowd of his supporters just moments before they morphed into a violent mob assaulting the capital could he be accused of didn't sign the violence again by saying today that those remarks were totally appropriate. well he is certainly not helping his case friends despite calling for an oil of violence today twice actually he also did not take responsibility for his actions last week so this has been donald trump's tank think actually from day one on and he'll make a soft statement calling for unity but he will never never isolate his loyal group of supporters so even if he plans to call for peace when joe biden takes the oath on inauguration day next wednesday it might be too little too late we know that his supporters plan to return next week to washington and also maybe to other capitals of other states so it seems that the damage has already been done we know that an impeachment vote is expected tomorrow but the u.s. senate may not be able to try the president until after joe biden becomes president next week so do we know in is do we know how president biden in the new congress how would they be able to conduct an impeachment trial at the same time debating by a political agenda. yeah this is going to be a very tricky tricky for biden and also the soon to be senate majority leader and chuck schumer at this moment it seems additive all that the house will vote to impeach donald trump tomorrow the pressure is just too high after all the information as we learned over the course of the last days but indeed biden has whether he can continue with his agenda and conduct an impeachment trial so unfortunately this is going to be very very difficult for joe biden to really do what he needs to do to get ahead of this horrible horrible. 19 pandemic which costs more than 4000 lives on many many days here in the united states all right our washington bureau chief with the latest tonight from washington is as always thank you. the business world is moving much more quickly against the u.s. president than the political world the new york times reports that germany's biggest lender deutsche bank says that it will no longer do business with president trump or his company's georgia bank is the biggest lender to the trump organization which is being run at the moment by the president's sons george paints movement follows last week's assault on the capital by a mob of trump supporters don't and joins a growing list of companies that have cut times to donald trump. for more now i'm joined here by my colleague ferguson from the business kate it's good to see you we know that deutsche bank was the only bank willing to lend donald trump money no american lenders were willing to do that how much of a blow is this going to be then to donald trump this is really the moment that all the elements that were profit donald trump up are beginning to crumble politically personally and financially as well so a large chunk of the republican party no longer supports them social media platforms have bond him and now the money tops are being turned off as well when it comes to georgia banks pacifically this has been an incredibly important relationship as you mentioned most mainstream lenders stayed well away from donald trump because i was a reputation for not paying back his loans he currently owes deutsche bank but 340000000 dollars those loans are due to be repaid in 20232024 if he can't come up with the cash voice he can actually sees has pressed our assets and given how increasingly isolated trump is looking that is not an outlandish prospect amazing there's a what to do is trump georgia relationship isn't there i mean i know there are suspicions of a connection between. russia and don't want trump oh yeah this is a relationship that has lasted longer than any of donald trump's margins house and just to give you just to give me an idea the woman who managed affairs. are into mine and mine. affairs that boy to roseman drop back she was a v.i.p. guest at his inauguration so that gives you some idea of just how cozy the relationship has been the money that he borrowed he used to buy luxury hotels golf courses skyscrapers but that same woman in row 3 she resigned very abruptly last month from deutsche bank most we know is that she was the subject of an internal invents investigation into a purchase of an apartment from a company that was partly owned by none other than kushner son in law so if it seems like just jumping on the bandwagon because everyone else is actually they have been trying to distance themselves from trump for a while now because quite frankly he is bad for their business and companies they are also rushing to distance themselves from donald trump yet it's really a domino effect and one of the most interesting examples of this i think it's strike the payments company so it is no longer processing donations to trump's campaign website and that potentially could be a huge blow now the other lender that was working with to with the troth signature bank they have closed as a kind and they have also called for his resignation and of course many other companies like microsoft 1819 air b.n. b. they're no longer donating to republicans who are not accepting joe biden's election victory so it certainly does look like the business empire is crumbling in the u.s. in politics money talks. the program is always key thank you so much. and ireland with no formal diplomatic ties with most of the world is about to welcome a high ranking u.s. envoy on wednesday u.s. ambassador to the un kelly craft travels to taiwan an island which neither the united states nor the united nations recognize as a country in fact until recently official u.s. policy restricted interactions between us and taiwanese diplomat says now that policy began in 1979 in a delicate balancing act between china's claim on taiwan and taiwan's claim of sovereignty u.s. secretary of state on paper he has overturned this policy saying it was meant to be the chinese government. and we advise u.s. secretary of state compared to have a clear understanding of history to stop manipulating taiwan related issues to stop acting against the trend and not to go further down this wrong and dangerous path otherwise he will be severely punished by history needed to move on. well time one has lived with the threat of the chinese invasion 1st 7 decades but with china dramatically building up its navy and military in recent years the threat seems more acute than ever international editor richard walker as. february 2020 taiwan's air force releases this image to the media it shows a time when east jet fighter intercepting a chinese. flying everett's aspace. glimpse of the dangerous tension in the skies so we have been doing our skies extending all our want to see it every more but in the last few decades is constant pressuring from the chinese side it's like a stress test on multiple levels it's hardly going to demoralizing the taiwanese public but it's also simply wearing down time planes. and it also takes 'd away all their activity. and perhaps most importantly all of these probing generates hugely valuable insights for the chinese military james final who led u.s. naval intelligence in the pacific explains you have to know your adversaries defense a structure and its network which air defense radar systems where the weaknesses were the strengths how long does it take a fighter f. 16 fighter i want to get off the ground to respond to it. there mapping all of that out in the cyber realm to china continues to probe and chip away. please unassuming building in shanghai reportedly houses the military hacking 613982 taiwan suspects of launching many attacks. and of course. and with its open society taiwan is highly vulnerable to disinform ation campaigns and for those of us watching from the outside we owe it to the people of the region to sit up and pay attention. to a flashpoint that could blow up into a devastating conference. was richard walker there reporting let's bring in l. steve saying he's the director of the china institute at the university of london school of oriental and asian studies it's good to have you on the program steve hella cute is the security threat posed by beijing to taiwan at the moment is a very severe threat it may not be immediate mainly because the chinese do not i said have the capabilities to deter them eriksson's and. sed but as soon as the chinese have to kick ability debut also to use force against taiwan do you think it's just a matter of time until taiwan is confronted with the chinese invasion. assuming that she tipping will be made china in the next 20 years then east him at all she will take taiwan it is his intention this what he speech instructing the people's liberation army to keep a careful and he is preparing china for why do you think that president trump is sending a high level visitor to taiwan with such a short time left in his own presidency. what we don't know is whether it is a decision made by the secretary of state himself or it was a decision made by president trump i think if it were a decision made by president trump it was almost certainly designed to mixing this more difficult in terms of relationship between dividing them ministrations and the chinese government if it is really made by pay you i think this may well have to do partly with the causing problem for the buy to diminish rationed and partly with pompei you prepare himself for a 2024 run for the us presidency. china we know is clearly unhappy about this visit and i'm wondering what is the benefit to taiwan i'm dense taiwan have reason to believe that the biden administration will pick up in forward trumps policy. well thailand has been treated so badly hit by the rest of the world for so long that they simply cannot politically resist the temptation of hosting a cabinet level to see the 8 u.s. official which the u.s. and bus that to the u.n. and it's. and they may also calculate that one has a high level visit like the has happened it will be more difficult put it by the administration's to prove back and therefore u.s. taiwan relations will still be on a stronger basis moving forward but they're also mindful that they will have to pay a price because the chinese will be very angry and they will punish somebody and give the companies to us do you punish taiwan and one of their own to hong kong in this equation joe biden he's going to become president he is going to say this is what china is doing to hong kong isn't that over medically going to increase the push on washington to stand by taiwan isn't that all the manically going to increase the likelihood of a military confrontation. it is going to put the u.s. and chinese relationship on a more difficult basis because the bite in the ministration will be much more interested in human rights matters than a trump ministrations has ever been and this would make the chinese government very very unhappy but hong kong is still a separate issue from taiwan and hong kong is. not disputable chinese territory taiwan is a very highly contested territory as to whether it is chinese at all so they are not exactly the same and they still questions of the united states using force to help hong kong but the united states has under the taiwan relations act of the united staes a commitment to help taiwan defend itself against an external requirement for time want to change its status we know mr saying that taiwan has always been held up as the poster child if you will of this is what china could be with freedom democracy capitalization of does that this i guess does that poster child does it have much efficacy with in china at all now. it actually does have. a certain element of ever to see in china i mean one of the things that's chinese to resist this is to want to when they were committed to do so fun very impressing we impress it was watching telly these television television and see how companies politicians being forced to just if i get policies and he said stat policies so yes it is having a significant impact on a don't tell the chinese but overwhelmingly most chinese do not get to see that side of taiwan they don't see decide to taiwan us but straight by the police party of china all right mr steve saying the director of the china institute at the university of london school of oriental and asia studies mr saying as always we appreciate your time and your insights thank you you look. us president obama trump kept his campaign promise to get tough on iran in a radical departure from the obama administration trump abandoned the iran nuclear deal back in 20 tensions between washington and tehran have increased ever since now there is hope that president elect joe biden will be able to turn down the volume some but that goal is getting more difficult by the day on tuesday u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe accused iran of providing a new base for the terrorist group al qaida you now have the world's state largest state sponsor of terrorism islamic republic of iran as the home base for al qaeda their partners in terrorism partners and hey this axis poses a grave threat to the security of nations and to the american homeland itself i would say iran is indeed the new afghanistan as the keep geographic upper of. but it's actually horse unlike in afghanistan when that kind it was hiding in the mountains okayed it today is operating underneath the hard shell of the iranian regime's protection. and i want to bring in tripp arsinoe he is co-founder executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible state craft he's also an expert on u.s. iranian relations or policies trade it's good to see you again maybe you can explain to us here the thinking of mr pompei of al-qaeda is an extremist sunni muslim group iran is run by shia muslim hardliners a meat can these 2 can they live in the same place can they be allons. if there was any conclusive evidence that there is some sort of an alliance between iran and al qaida then pompeo surely would have put that forward much earlier than he does now for him to come out with these last minute accusations 8 days before his his administration comes to an end is hardly convincing mindful of the fact that the administration has been pursuing maximum pressure against iran for 4 years if there was evidence for this they would have come out with that earlier on the reason why they're coming out now i suspect is because pompei o is trying to do absolutely everything he can to make it impossible for the by that administration to pursue diplomacy not just with iran but with other actors in the region as well and undo the mess that trump and pump aoe has cause i would point your attention to the terrorist listing of the who tees yesterday another measure that seems to have nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with making it impossible for by then to put an end to the war between the governments and the saudis well is this is this just politics or is it something much more substantial and much more dangerous me what you're saying is that pump a president from there not only trying to sabotage the biden ministration but they're doing things that could actually bring the us to the brink of war with the wrong. well one of the dangers with what he's doing right now is that there is an authorization of use of military force by congress for 2002 that says that attacks against al qaeda is essentially permitted the president doesn't need to go back to congress to ask for a pit mission for that by claiming that iran without any evidence of course is the base for al qaeda he has now laid forward it has his belly that would allow the administration to go and attack iran in its last couple days in power so there is definitely that risk but i personally suspect that this is more by just making it as difficult as possible for biden to pursue diplomacy if al-qaeda actually was the priority of this administration then this isn't a station would have gone after those that are actually providing funding for al qaeda and those would be a lot of folks is saudi arabia for instance instead this administration has been protecting the saudis it would not be continuing the war in yemen because the who tease and yemen who are the main force against al-qaeda and instead this administration is fighting that hooty so the idea that now suddenly all count as a priority for this administration again is highly unconvincing we know that iran has denied these latest allegations but we also have to say it has also been upping the ante here for example announcing you know that it is further enriching uranium is it possible knowing all of this for the u.s. and iran to return to the status quo pre trop. i think so i think frankly some of the latest signals that are coming out from both places seem to suggest that the posturing is not about going back incident deal it's about the negotiations that would follow after every turn to the 0 which in and of itself indicates that it returns to deal more or less is something that both sides now agree upon and may end up happening rather quickly so the prospects for this despite some of these negative steps taken by the iranians as well is still pretty good and i think again that's part of the reason why there's such a desperation in what pump air was doing it should have been about a minute let me just ask you from foreign policy to domestic policy you are there in washington d.c. it's been almost a week since the seizure of the capital what's the feeling like there and considering to see that there's no warnings of more violence next week i have to say it's a it's a very uneasy feeling here because it's not until a couple of days later that i think most of us have come to understand and seen the images of how violent this actually was the 1st images that came out did not show it for reasons that may not then that need to still be explained and now we also know that we kind of got lucky because they were cars filled with weapons and bombs and other things they could have ended up being using used fortunately that do not happen but we are ahead of us some very nervous days because this is a much more serious threat than we 1st thought trying to parsi as always good talking with you we

says he's not responsible for last week's riot at the capitol. the speech that he gave that many say incited violence today democrats renewed their push to remove trucks from office immediately or face being impeached for a 2nd. also coming up many of germany's doctors and nurses are skeptical about getting vaccinated against the coronavirus despite 1st hand knowledge of the virus is fatal consequences health care workers will tell us why the reluctance. it's good to have you with us u.s. president has refused to accept any responsibility for the deadly riot at the u.s. capitol building in washington d.c. last week he described the speech that he made just before the seizure as quote appropriate has left washington for the 1st time since last week's violence he's traveled to. the state of texas to review progress on the border war with mexico the city is the site of the 450th mile of the barrier that his administration is building speaking in alamo the president brushed off calls for him to be removed from office and he called for calm and peace. now i'd like to briefly address the events of last week millions of our citizens watched on wednesday as a mob stormed the capitol and trashed the halls of government as i have consistently said throughout my administration we believe in respecting america's history and traditions not tearing them down we believe in the rule of law and not in violence or rioting. because of the pandemic horrible horrible invisible enemy and despite our tremendous success developing a vaccine years before it was thought even remotely possible nobody thought it was going to be possible they said it would take 5 years serval take 7 years all of our scientists were saying our advisers it will take 7 years 5 years 10 years maybe we did it just like i said we would if we had it out. years and years before they thought it was possible are this the u.s. president don't trump speaking there at the border wall between the u.s. and mexico let's go to washington d.c. now where moves are under way to potentially remove the president from office or bureau chief in just cold she's on the story for us tonight even as well that the president in his words there presenting a very different face than what we saw all last week when he urged his supporters to storm the capitol i mean what did you make of the remarks today. right brenda i think it's very obviously that he really tried to move away as soon as possible from discussing our form commenting on what was going on last wednesday here in washington he tried to claim the success about the vaccine obviously he really doesn't one to put off or set off his supporters so he needs something which he can claim success for and therefore he referred to the vix even immediately yeah and his remarks today and the fact that he was speaking today where he was speaking from the border with mexico is just that he is planning on making this wall a key part of his legacy as president. right i mean it's been one of his major priorities when he's decided to run 5 years ago i think many of the viewers will remember that. this this is an famous escalator ride dahlan and when he called mexican rapist so at this point this wall is the one tangible and of and of his administration which is not under scrutiny at the moment so that's why he wanted to focus on their head and then he also needed to get out of d.c. i mean where the schools inning against the president is mounting up by the hour to be fair it can't be easy for donald trump facing an impeachment for a 2nd term 1st time in history and the potential of being disqualified from running for public office ever again so he needed something to latch on to. he's also saying that now is the time for the country to heal. i'm wondering to his followers those people last week you storm the capitol are they likely to heed his calls for peace and call. well yes he did call to stop violence but the fact is he has not taken any responsibility for the commons he made last week which led her all to the storming of the capital so i think it's not enough what he is doing because he also tries to claim the impeachment for further while ns which we might see over the course of the next days not only here in washington but maybe also in the other 50 state capitals so now this is not enough to really come down his supporters i think it's safe to say the next few days the next week will be very volatile in the united states in this poll the latest washington tonight in its thank you. for in the aftermath of that u.s. capitol riot to germany's biggest lender deutsche bank says that it will no longer do business with president trump or his company and that's according to a report today in the new york times george bank is the biggest lender to the trumpet organization which is currently being run by the president's sons the bank is also the focus of a financial crimes investigation

approvals procedure and that a decision could be ready by the end of this month. meanwhile the premier of the german state of area has raised the possibility of mandatory vaccinations for staff in nursing homes the call comes as many medical professionals in the country are openly questioning whether or not to get inoculated despite their close proximity to the danger of the virus u.w. reporter tessa walter visited a hospital in berlin to find out why the reluctance putting on his protective gear before entering the room of a covert patient diverting for intensive care nurse about stem schmidt he has been working with corona patients for months now and knows how important it is to protect himself when coming into contact but an even better protection would be the current jab. we see. every day i see people dying from corona i see how patients are suffering how seriously do they become because of its virus that's why i would definitely like to be vaccinated against it as you force on. them for an awesome and i also find that i have a duty of care towards the public image and approval of it. but not all doctors and nurses in germany share this opinion. in common is not against vaccination in general but when it comes to the corona she says she would rather wait and see. its contents f. i am still very cautious when it comes to the vaccines i'm still of the defrayed of it because it hasn't been around for a very long time so i can't say right now i'm 100 percent convinced of it on the right. skepticism about the jap is apparently not rare in december a survey of the german society for intensive care medicine t.v. shows that one in 4 doctors and one in 2 nurses do not want to get vaccinated against the corona virus but according to devi that might have changed now that the vaccination process stopped health minister. has appealed to nurses and doctors once again. this kind of shit that's why i can only keep calling for health care workers to get vaccinated not only out of a sense of responsibility for themselves but also for that was a careful way to treat him from the. more information about the corona vaccination is therefore planned to be provided and more information is also what nurse vivian common would like to see with that she says she would probably be totally convinced . well it's frustrating when your patient is now to our correspondent simon young here in berlin did you need to do so i mean do we know simon what is behind this reluctance. well i think medical stuff for a lot like the rest of the population brands and what people say when they're asked why they are skeptical and cautious about these new vaccines is that they just don't know what the side effects the long term side effects might be everybody knows that these vaccines it's been developed and approved in record time and these so-called m.r.i. and i.e. vaccines which include that the 2 substances that have so far been approved in the new that's the biotech phase a vaccine in the medan back saying they work in a slightly different way from a more familiar vaccine so that could put some people off some people say they're worried about potential effects on their genes and so on and another point is that it hasn't yet be improved that taking these vaccines actually prevents the transmission of corona virus so it may be that the argument you know if your medical personnel you need to take the vaccine to protect patients perhaps that isn't such a powerful argument after all you know want to take a quick look at a suggestion that is coming from one of germany's. high profile politicians he's even in the bins tapped as a possible next chancellor that's the bavarian state premier marcus or he wants to make vaccinations mandatory for medical staff he says that it would be useful for the german ethics council to suggest whether compulsory vaccination could be considered and for which groups simon what sort of reaction has this suggestion received. pretty negative reaction brands across the board both chancellor merkel and the health ministry and spawn have said before now very clearly several times there will be no mandatory vaccinations cheering the corona pandemic and a lot of. good as fellow conservative politicians have said probably better to rely on people's sense of responsibility rather than introducing new rules and there is a bit of political packed in the in this debate as well brant because you've got opposition politicians and those who are not sympathetic to his conservative party saying well you know really the problem is not acceptance of vaccines so much is rolling out and distributing the vaccines they've been criticisms of the conservative run health ministry that it hasn't done that quickly enough so far so you know there has been some support saying that medical stuff should get vaccinated if they're treating vulnerable people but there's also been a lot of pushback all right a correspondent some young with the latest tonight here in berlin simon is always thinking of this growing opposition to bella ruse co-hosting this year's ice hockey world championship following president because because brutal crackdown against opposition protests the president had a big hug and no social distancing ready for international ice hockey federation chief rene fossil in minsk on monday promised a safe and
