hi
I'm Carl Azuz. Delivering your thursday
edition of cnn 10 an objective
explanation of world events
we start with new developments from the
us house of representatives
for the second time the chamber has
voted to impeach president donald trump
this does not mean that he has been
removed from office and impeachment is a
charge
a formal accusation of wrongdoing the
house charge is incitement of
insurrection
222 democrats who control the house
voted to impeach the president
10 republicans also voted to impeach him
197 republicans voted against
impeachment this all centers on a riot
that broke out last wednesday at the u.s
capitol building
it followed a large rally in support of
president trump
in his speech one of the things the
president said was that the people would
march to the capitol to quote
peacefully and patriotically make their
voices heard but he later said quote
if you don't fight you're not going to
have a country anymore
the president's critics say the
statements he made encourage the
violence that later took place
and they faulted him for not calling
quickly and forcefully enough
for the rioters to stop their actions at
the capitol the president called the
impeachment process
another witch-hunt that was causing
tremendous anger in the country
and he said those who analyzed his
speech thought it was appropriate
the house impeachment vote came after it
voted on a resolution concerning the
25th amendment
222 democrats and one republican voted
for a measure that called on vice
president mike
pence to assume the presidency 205
republicans voted against that
resolution
and five republicans didn't vote on it
political analysts say that was a
symbolic decision though
and vice president pence said before the
resolution was passed that he would not
act on it so what happens next we don't
know yet while the house decides whether
to charge a president with wrongdoing
it's up to the senate to decide whether
or not to convict and remove the leader
from officewith one week remaining in president
trump's term it's unclear when the house
will send
the charge to the senate when the senate
will hold its trial
and how senators will vote after that
trial is held
convicting and removing a president from
office requires the support of 67
senators or two-thirds of the chamber
the first president impeached by
congress was andrew johnson in 1868
johnson was impeached for firing
secretary of war edwin stanton in
violation of the tenure of service act
after johnson was impeached by the house
of representatives the senate fell
just shy of the two-thirds vote majority
that it would have taken to convict and
remove him from office
the second time in our history that a
president was impeached was bill clinton
in 1998. the house of representatives
impeached clinton for lying under oath
the senate then tried clinton and
acquitted him article
1 is adopted the third time a president
was impeached was donald trump
in december 2019. trump was impeached
for abuse of power and obstruction of
congress
over allegations that he pressured
ukraine to interfere in the 2020
election
the senate voted to acquit trump on both
articles
now richard nixon was never formally
impeached by the house of
representatives
because he resigned first under mounting
pressure from the watergate scandal
the house of representatives did however
draft articles of impeachment against
nixon
for obstruction abuse of power and
contempt of congress
the impeachment of a president is a
remedy of last resort
impeachment is one of the most powerful
tools that congress holds in our system
of constitutional checks and balances
impeachment is the way that congress
addresses misconduct or abuse of office
by officials in the executive branch
or the judiciary the constitution
defines an impeachable offense
as treason bribery or other high crimes
and misdemeanors now that phrase has
been the source of much argument over
the centuries
the constitution does not specifically
define
the phrase trees in bribery or other
high crimes and misdemeanors
one of the big questions is do you have
to have a specific crime in order to
impeach
and the answer over our history is no
congress certainly can impeach somebody
who committed a crime
but they also can impeach somebody for
misuse or abuse of power
since the coronavirus pandemic began
health officials have recorded almost
92 million positive tests worldwide and
almost 23 million in the u.s alone
there's a new restriction being placed
on people who want to travel to the
united states
starting january 26th the u.s centers
for disease control will require all
airline passengers from other countries
to prove they've had a negative covid
testwithin three days of their flight or to
prove they've recovered from the disease
if passengers don't take a test or if
they don't have documentation that their
coronavirus free
airlines have to keep them off the
planes the cdc says this might help slow
down the spread of covet 19
but its director admits that testing
won't totally get rid of the risk

the nation of japan is a little smaller
than the u.s state of california
but with 125 million people the asian
country has more than three times the
population of the american state
and millions of them are concentrated in
the capital city of tokyo
it is here that you will find what's
believed to be the world's busiest
crosswalk
a place that as many as 3 000 people
cross at one time
at least when there's not a pandemic and
that's where cnn 10 contributor chris
james is visiting today
chris hey carl with so many of us unable
to travel right now due to coronavirus
restrictions
my list of dream cities to travel to is
getting longer
and longer by the day today i want to
tell you about one of the cities on my
list
specifically the legendary crosswalk
that has cometo symbolize the chaotic vibrancy of
urban life
welcome to tokyo japan you're looking at
shibuya crossing
often referred to as the world's busiest
crosswalk
it can often look to be a dizzying site
thousands of people
walking in different directions
commuters tourists and locals alike
just trying to get to where they're
going but for many people
the controlled chaos of shibuya's
scramble
is a visual representation of the
efficient madness of this cutting-edge
city
here 10 lanes of traffic and five major
crosswalks converge
with the backdrop of cascading neon
skyscrapers illuminating the sky above
although making your way through this
crosswalk can feel like a whirlwind
there's one landmark that serves as a
loyal stabilizing force
the statue of hachiko the dog hachiko
was in fact a real dog
the most famous dog in all of tokyo who
would meet its owner at the shibuya
station
after he got out of work every day in
the 1920s
after his owner died unexpectedly the
dog continued to visit the station every
day for nearly a decade
his loyalty now commemorated by the
statue and legions of visitors taking
selfies
every single day the crossing has been
made famous around the globe in
photographs and movies
like the fast and the furious tokyo
drift i still remember
watching that movie in theaters and
hearing the crowd
gasp during that iconic scene of the car
drifting through the throngs of
people crossing the road in recent years
the area has seen some significant
development
especially in advance of the tokyo
olympics which has been rescheduled for
july 2021
but with covet 19 still a very real
threat the jury is still out
on whether or not the games will
actually take place as planned
