Pelosi says if they fail to act within 24 hours, the House will move to impeach the president.

Democrats have announced they plan to bring forward at least one article of impeachment⁷ against Trump, accusing him of "incitement⁸ of insurrection" at the Capitol.

Trump was already impeached⁹ once by the Democratic-controlled House in December 2019 for pressuring the leader of Ukraine to dig up political dirt on Joe Biden.

He was acquitted¹⁰ by the Republican-majority Senate.

Iran is demanding the release of its foreign exchange assets frozen in South Korea.

Officials from the two sides met yesterday in Tehran, less than a week after the seizure²² of a Korean oil tanker²³ in the Gulf²⁴.

Iran has insisted the incident is a technical matter related to environmental pollution.

Reports claimed that a French helicopter bombed a wedding party during an air strike on a village on January 3rd, killing at least 20 civilians.

The air strike was part of a larger operation by French troops aimed at fighting Islamist extremists in Africa's Sahel region.

France first intervened in Mali in 2013 to stop jihadis from seizing the capital Bamako, and currently has 5,000 troops there.

Last week, six French troops were killed in two separate explosions, raising questions about the operation's efficacy.

佩洛西表示，如果他们未能在24小时内采取行动，众议院将采取行动弹劾总统。

民主党人宣布，他们计划至少提出一项针对特朗普的弹劾条款，指控他“煽动对国会的叛乱”。

特朗普曾在2019年12月被民主党控制的众议院弹劾过一次，原因是他向乌克兰领导人施压，要求对方搜集乔·拜登的政治丑闻。

他被共和党占多数的参议院宣告无罪。

伊朗要求解除其在韩国被冻结的外汇资产。

法国国防部长弗洛朗斯·帕利否认了有关直长机在马里袭击参加婚礼派对的平民的报道。

报道称，1月3日，一架法国直升机在空袭一个村庄时轰炸了一场婚礼派对，造成至少20名平民死亡。

帕利表示，这次袭击的打击目标只有圣战分子，没有直长机参与行动。

这起空袭是法国军队旨在打击非洲萨赫勒地区伊斯兰极端分子的更大规模行动的一部分。

法国于2013年首次介入马里，旨在阻止圣战分子占领首都巴马科，目前法国驻扎有5000名士兵。

上周，6名法国士兵在两起爆炸中丧生，这使人们对该行动的效力产生了疑问。
