Democrats seek Trump's removal from office

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Democrats seek Trump's removal from office

Donald Trump's opponents want him removed after his supporters stormed the Capitol

Democrats have called on the Cabinet to remove the President from office. They want Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment to the US Constitution, certifying the president as unfit to hold office. If he doesn't, they said Congress should move quickly to expel Mr Trump through the impeachment process; we hear from the BBC's Michelle Fleury. Plus, we hear from Steve Lamar, president of the American Apparel & Footwear Association, which represents some of the world's biggest clothes and shoe brands. And social media companies remain under the spotlight over their role in Wednesday’s events. Facebook has blocked Donald Trump from using his account on the platform for at least two weeks, we get analysis from Russell Brandom, policy editor at tech website, The Verge. The US aircraft maker Boeing will pay over $2.5 billion to resolve an investigation by the US Justice Department into two deadly crashes of the company's 737 Max aircraft; Cary Leahey from Decision Economics gives us the details. And the BBC's Ed Butler looks into the future of shopping. (Picture: Protesters attempt to enter the US Capitol building. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
