Donald trump has become the first us president to be impeached twice. Hes been charged with incitement of insurrection over last weeks assault on congress by his supporters. Our us correspondent Barbara Plett usher has the story. The resolution is adopted without objection and the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. So ended a week like no other in washington with the astonishing collapse of Donald Trumps final daysin collapse of Donald Trumps final days in office. Lawmakers returned to a capitol hill transformed, thousands of National Guard troops there to protect them from the loyal supporters of the departing president who had stormed congress.

Antenna voted for impeachment, a stark difference from first time round one year ago difference from first time round one yearago and difference from first time round one year ago and ten.

Its been one week since the riots and there is one | since the riots and there is one more week to go beforejoe biden is inaugurated. In the middle of this, the house says it has acted to protect democracy by impeaching mr trump, but a peaceful transfer of power still feels very fragile. Lets get more now from barbara, whojoins us from washington. Barbara, what happens next . Well, next is the senate trial and thatis well, next is the senate trial and that is not going to happen until after the inauguration because the in recess now and when it does start there needs to be a two thirds vote to convict mr trump, so that would need 17 republicans to join the democrats which seems not very likely, but frankly, it looks a bit more likely than it did 24 hours ago because we have seen that some republicans are willing to stand up to mr trump. Republicans are willing to stand up to mrtrump. You had republicans are willing to stand up to mr trump. You had those ten republicans who voted for impeachment including a very pro trump congressman and one member of the House Republican leadership and in the senate, the top leader has said, i am not sure how i will vote, which suggests he might be willing to convict, so the situation is quite fluid and we can expect it to dominate the first weeks ofjoe bidens presidency, which is something that concerns him as he wants to hit the ground running with his agenda on vaccines, covid relief and getting his cabinet nominees confirmed, so he has asked whether the senate might be able to split its time between this trial and his own agenda, but the issue of what mr trumps fate will be will dominate even after he has left office. Barbara, thanks very much and we will talk to lord schwartz, a former adviser to president clinton, shortly. A team of experts from the World Health Organisation has arrived in the chinese city of wuhan to investigate the origin of the coronavirus. China is facing a series of local outbreaks and its first covid death in eight months. The group will spend two weeks in quarantine in a hotel before visiting different sites under chinese supervision. From today victims of Domestic Abuse will be able to use a code word to get help at thousands of pharmacies across the uk. Anyone who asks a member of staff for ani will be taken to a safe space to Contact Support services. One in five offences recorded by police during the First National lockdown in england and wales involved Domestic Abuse according to figures from the office for national statistics. More on that with victoria atkins at half past seven. Train services are being cut by nearly 30 per cent in england because of the third lockdown. The industry body, the rail delivery group, say it will provide better value for money for taxpayers who are subsidising services which are carrying less passengers. Very wet this morning, chucking it down when i was walking to the studio and lets find out if it is the same for everybody in the country. Good morning, sarah. Some wet weather for many of us today with lots of cloud bringing outbreaks of rain but wintry weather as well, so we have some heavy snowfall across parts of Northern England and scotland and the met office have issued an amber weather warning for the heavy snowfall, particularly through the course of this morning causing a bit of disruption. The areas affected by the amber warning are anywhere from northumberland up to is the Central Highlands in scotland and even down to the central belt at low levels with some snow falling, so about ten or 20 centimetres possible on top of the Higher Ground, but some winter nice for many areas across scotland and Northern England, so this is the recent rain and snow radar and the blue colour shows the rain, the white showing sleet and snow which is mainly falling over the Higher Ground but some of it is down to lower levels away from the coast. Lots of blue on the map as we head through the day so many of us seeing outbreaks of rain but we have sleet and snow continuing through much of the day across parts of Northern England and scotland and look at the temperatures, two or three degrees towards the north east, typically ten or 11 towards the south west. Lets take a look later on, five oclock and most of the rain, sleet and snow will start to peter out, so still a few snow flurries through the day across parts of eastern scotland, down into Northern England and it is tending to fizzle away but still a little bit of rain, sleet and snow through the course of the evening and some rain towards the south east, may be some sleet over the Higher Ground. Northern ireland will see that drier weather spreading through the course of the day and as we head through the night the dry weather will spread across country, so turning a little bit quieter as we head through tomorrow morning but again a cold start of the day, sub zero temperatures so where youve had the wintry weather today there could be ice around first thing this morning and some frost and also freezing fog, so a cold but dry day and for friday and then a return to something milder and wetter by the time we get to saturday. And wetter by the time we get to saturda. W. , and wetter by the time we get to saturda. , ,. ,. ,. , as weve been hearing this morning, Coronavirus Vaccines will be available from a limited number of large, high street chemists from todaybut smaller, Community Pharmacies say they need to be included too.

There has been a campaign to get pharmacies involved in the big vaccine roll out but the question is how involved. Pharmacies are unusual in the sense that they get some nhs funding for services but fundamentally they are small businesses. There are more than 11,000 Community Pharmacies in england widely Offering Services like the flu jab and they like to play a much bigger part in the corona vaccine roll out. In order to be able to deliver that they need to survive as businesses and last year, more than 400 of them closed. Lots of them have had to reduce Staffing Levels and in some cases owners have had to put their own money into keep the business going. As charlie was saying, from today, six large pharmacies will begin offering jabs and over the next fortnight and another 200 will be signed up. That
