Trump impeached for second time

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Trump impeached for second time

Donald Trump has been impeached for "inciting" the deadly riot at the US Capitol

Ten rebel Republicans voted with Democrats after a day of debate in the House of Representatives. It makes Trump the first president ever to be impeached twice.

Donald Trump becomes the first US President to be impeached twice in the nation's history. He now faces a trial in the Senate, which will occur after he leaves office. He was accused of rousing his followers to storm the Capitol last week, leaving five people dead. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, 11 more people have been arrested under the new national security law and the International Labour Organistion says that the rise in home working may mean workers face greater safety and health risks. We also discuss different approaches to vaccine rollouts around the world, and whether mealworms will soon be on the menu. Sasha Twining talks to author and expert on Hong Kong, Rachel Cartland, and Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network.
