US Capitol riot: Calls to remove Trump from office

Top Democrats have called for President Trump to be removed for "inciting" Capitol riot

We focus on developments in Washington and speak to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Reality Team about the people, who stormed the Capitol Building on Wednesday. And we discuss the backlash some of the lawmakers are facing over their support to overturn election results, as well as calls for President Trump to be removed from office.

We also continue to bring Republicans together in conversation to understand what they think this week’s events mean for President Trump’s legacy. And we ask international students in the US what they think about the events in the US capital.

And we get again questions answered on the coronavirus pandemic from our regular expert, Dr Megan Murray from Harvard Medical School. We discuss the discovery that two arthritis drugs can be used to help patients sick with Covid-19.
