President Trump faces impeachment vote

US politicians are voting on what could be the first step in his possible removal.

The US House of Representatives is preparing to vote to impeach President Donald Trump over his role in last week's storming of Congress. Democrats accuse the president of encouraging his supporters to attack the Capitol building, and some members of Mr Trump's Republican party say they will join the Democrats to impeach him. We'll hear the latest from Washington and speak to some Republican voters who no longer support President Trump.

Also, we continue to bring together people from across the world who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Today we speak to three young women whose husbands have died from Covid-19. They have been finding support from one another through a coronavirus widows Facebook page.

And, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Brazil have done an investigation into black people getting killed by the police in Rio de Janeiro state. In this state alone in the more people were killed by the police in the first six months of the year than in the whole of the USA. We'll speak to our reporter about the investigation and hear first hand experiences from black Brazilians.
