Newsday

Available for over a year

The Democrats who control the Congress have confirmed that there'll be a full vote today on whether to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene, from Georgia, of her role in two committees. She has spread conspiracy theories and violent views. But the Republicans say they will not support the move. We get the latest. Also we report from Portugal where a team of German doctors and nurses have arrived to help look after coronavirus patients as the country struggles to cope with a recent rise in cases. And a former militia leader from Uganda may become the first defendant at the international criminal court to be found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity - we look at the background to this trial.
