11:02 pm
on what was a terrifying experience for those on board. all of a sudden i heard a big bang and i didn't know exactly what was going on. but i look up and the oxygen masks were hanging from the ceiling and i looked to my left and there is this huge chunk, part of the aeroplane missing. there was a kid in that role whose shirt was sent off and out of the plane. this is the latest incident involving boeing's best selling model launched in 2015. in 2018 a plane crashed shortly after take—off killing all 189 on board. five months later in march 2019 and ethiopian airlines plane was involved in a similar crashed killing all 157 passengers. that led to all 737 max being grounded by the federal aviation authority for the next 20 months.

11:04 pm
investigators are looking at the cause as to why a door ended up blowing out in mid flight and we know the flight took off from portland international airport and reached about 17,000 feet in the pressurisation issue occurred in it had to return instead of paying the california and many social media video showed how the paneling had been missing likely, there were no passengers seated next to where the blow out was you to be sure that investigators are going to absolutely look into this, whether it was the speed, altitude or if there was something wrong with the manufacturing of the aircraft to lead to this blowing off in mid flight. lead to this blowing off in mid fliuht. . ~' , lead to this blowing off in mid fliuht. . ~ , ., ., .,, flight. thankfully no one was in'ured flight. thankfully no one was injured but — flight. thankfully no one was injured but very _ flight. thankfully no one was injured but very dramatic - flight. thankfully no one was l injured but very dramatic video flight. thankfully no one was - injured but very dramatic video on social media. is there a sense could've been worse? absolutely. you're ready _ could've been worse? absolutely. you're ready to — could've been worse? absolutely. you're ready to hear _ could've been worse? absolutely. you're ready to hear from - could've been worse? absolutely. i you're ready to hear from lawmakers you're ready to hearfrom lawmakers on multiple committees of transportation saying they want an

investigation here and sure that it's safe that for the public to be on these flights in the car for a grounding of margin 70 of these aircraft some of these inspections can be done and make sure that this panel door which was nonoperational using a spy in the wings, whether or not this door blew off for any reason or faulty mechanics of some of the manufacturer did wrong and they have been in the hot seat before for his manufacturing issues, especially with the 737 family when we saw in 2018 2019 of the two back—to—back fatal crashes that required the faa to stand down. it is spending the hot seat and what kind of questions will this latest incident rates now for boeing? it is auoin to incident rates now for boeing? it is going to be — incident rates now for boeing? it 3

11:07 pm
themselves have been brought up in recent weeks and lawmakers are questioning how safe it is and why these continue to happen in the great example of this was the japan air lines that have been just last week where there was a collision on the runway and that is overshadowed some of the things that a lot of regulators are looking into what it comes to how safe is it, where there are some of these misgivings and where is the issue going on whether it is on the air traffic control side of the regulation side from the pilot site, all of these things could be true but it's going to be a couple weeks, if not months to know what is this confluence of issues going on right now for the flying public and what will it take to make the safest possible flying record across the globe and you can rest assured that people will be looking into this, not from just a foreign perspective but from a us regulation
11:08 pm
standpoint and they're trying to assured with the millions of flights that happen on a weekly basis that the flying public is secure. the role of regulators _ the flying public is secure. the role of regulators and all of this, we know the federal aviation committee has been grounding planes and ordering inspections, is that being seen as sufficient?- being seen as sufficient? great auestion being seen as sufficient? great question but — being seen as sufficient? great question but when, _ being seen as sufficient? great question but when, i— being seen as sufficient? great question but when, i think - being seen as sufficient? great question but when, i think you | being seen as sufficient? (e—r question but when, i think you can say that you want more inspections than fewer and in the case of boeing, just last month, boeing was inspected for potential sports and a rudder system that it had and it is telling that some of these inspections need to be had but it's also telling that they are paying attention to at least request and order some of these inspections to ensure that their safe protocols in place and before the democrats take to the skies.

11:10 pm
to certinyoe biden's 2020 election victory, but members were forced to evacuate after the mob breached the complex. after claiming for weeks, without evidence that the election was rigged, mr trump rallied thousands of his supporters just blocks away outside the white house, before encouraging them to march to the capitol. we will never give up, we will never concede. it doesn't happen. you do not concede with this theft. 0ur not concede with this theft. our country has had enough, we will not take it any more. millions around the world watched as trump supporters stalked the halls of congress, while lawmakers fled to safe rooms in fear. more than 2000 rioters entered the building assaulting officers, ransacking the capitol, and looking for democrats. three years on, president biden spoke about the violence in his first 2024 campaign speech, saying the preservation of democracy was at the core of his re—election campaign.
11:11 pm
for all we have been through in our history, from independence to civil war, to two world wars, pandemic and insurrection, i refuse to believe that in 2024 that we americans will choose to walk away from what is made is the greatest nation in the history of the world! freedom! liberty! democracy is still a secret because! —— a sacred cause! the anniversary is once again sparking painful memories for those caught in the middle of riots. among them, hundreds of capitol and washington dc police officers. one of them, dc police officer michael fanone, almost died. he sat down with my colleague catriona perry. three years ago, you are very badly injured and suffered a heart attack, a brain injury, how are you now? i would give myself a clean bill of health, unfortunately, ifeel would give myself a clean bill of health, unfortunately, i feel like the same cannot be said for the
11:12 pm
state of our country.— state of our country. expand a little on that. _ state of our country. expand a little on that. unfortunately, i little on that. unfortunately, donald trump, _ little on that. unfortunately, donald trump, who - little on that. unfortunately, i donald trump, who ultimately little on that. unfortunately, - donald trump, who ultimately is responsible for the insurrection at the capital which occurred on january six is still a viable candidate for office and in this coming november and continues to peddle the same lies, the same violent rhetoric that inspired so many americans to attack the capital, to attack law enforcement officers and threaten the lives of members of congress and their staff. you nearly died that day yourself, can you tell us a bit about what happened as far as you remembered? i was a 20 year veteran of the metropolitan police department and on january metropolitan police department and onjanuary six, i was assigned to a special mission, as for the vast majority of my career working in
11:13 pm
units like this, focused on violent crime and narcotics trafficking. but on january crime and narcotics trafficking. but onjanuary six, crime and narcotics trafficking. but on january six, where crime and narcotics trafficking. but onjanuary six, where the distress calls coming from the capital from my fellow officers and i chose to put on a uniform, something i had not done in many years and along with my partner, we responded to the capital to try and assist those officers in repelling the attack that was taking place. i made my way to what is known as the laura last paige west the president—elect will walk the tumble onto the inaugural stage to take the of and onjanuary six, it was the scene some of the most significant violence perpetrated
11:14 pm
against police officers that day. there were about 40 officers, including myself that defended the tunnel against thousands of violent rioters. during that struggle, was pulled from the police line by one of those rioters, i was stripped of my police badge radio, i was beaten, struck numerous times of the taser device and as a result, i suffered a heart attack and a traumatic brain injury. heart attack and a traumatic brain in'u . , injury. the thing with the passage of time that _ injury. the thing with the passage of time that some _ injury. the thing with the passage of time that some americans - injury. the thing with the passage | of time that some americans have forgotten the severity of what happened that day and that the intensity of the meaning of what happened that somehow faded? i do. americans, happened that somehow faded? i if americans, unfortunately, with events like this, specifically surrounding politics, i believe have a short attention span. this is something that is become an
11:15 pm
uncomfortable topic of conversation. not just uncomfortable topic of conversation. notjust between individual americans but within the media. um? americans but within the media. why do ou americans but within the media. why do you think — americans but within the media. why do you think that is? i _ americans but within the media. why do you think that is? i think - do you think that is? i think there's a — do you think that is? i think there's a thought _ do you think that is? i think there's a thought process . do you think that is? i thinkj there's a thought process in do you think that is? i think - there's a thought process in the aftermath of january six, especially within the biden administration that if we simply model good behaviour, people will behave well. i understand that thought process but as a law enforcement officer, i ascribe to a different way of thinking and that is accountability. i believe that americans who committed crimes, specifically on january six, should be held accountable and prosecuted they are found guilty they should be sentenced and served their time. find sentenced and served their time. and there are many of them. and - sentenced and served their time. and there are many of them. and the - there are many of them. and the orchestrator _ there are many of them. and the orchestrator as _ there are many of them. and the orchestrator as of _ there are many of them. and the orchestrator as of the _ there are many of them. and the | orchestrator as of the insurrection of your to be held accountable. we
11:16 pm
see the process beginning, whether it is the criminal prosecutions of donald trump and his supporters and states have not taken up the debate as to whether or not donald trump is qualified to be on the electoral ballot and i think those are all well and good in the fight to preserve democracy in this country needs to be an all hands on deck effort. every american needs to take this seriously. but we need stronger leadership from the president, the president sets the tone in this country and the president is responsible for explaining to americans the threat that is supposed by the former president and
11:17 pm
maga stop what you believed in donald trump at one point, what is your message to them now? it's not really up to donald trump. he could walk away from the presidency but thatis walk away from the presidency but that is not enough, he needs to be held accountable. you committed crimes. tonnes of evidence comes to paid attention to the january six select committee investigations, the criminal charges brought byjackson criminal charges brought by jackson at criminal charges brought byjackson at the department ofjustice, donald trump needs to be held accountable, both criminally and politically. donald trump maintains his innocence through all of this, the events of january six came, those protests came from a belief from a lot of people that the election and some have stolen by the remarks the donald trump was making 80 refuse to accept the outcome of that election, given we are still a long way from election day but it will be looking
11:18 pm
like a rematch betweenjoe biden the donald trump notwithstanding what happened between then and november, you concerned that something similar may have been to it's the end of this year should donald trump lose again and refused to accept the outcome of the election? i’m again and refused to accept the outcome of the election? i'm not concerned _ outcome of the election? i'm not concerned because _ outcome of the election? i'm not concerned because i _ outcome of the election? i'm not concerned because i am - outcome of the election? i'm not. concerned because i am convinced that something is going to happen. in fact, i think even that statement is disingenuous and that we have seen continuations of politically inspired violence in the aftermath of january inspired violence in the aftermath ofjanuary six. and not to inspired violence in the aftermath of january six. and not to the inspired violence in the aftermath ofjanuary six. and not to the same scale to be a witness to the capital of the capital that day but we have seen attacks perpetrated against law enforcement, against fbi, threats need to elected officials, threats made to judges, need to elected officials, threats made tojudges, really need to elected officials, threats made to judges, really anybody that opposes maga and the former president ross is a higher and he
11:19 pm
knows that simply mentioning that leads to his followers attacking them, threatening them. i would even call them dog whistles, these are overt threats. he knows exactly what he's doing. overt threats. he knows exactly what he's doinu. ~ . , ., overt threats. he knows exactly what he's doinu. 1 ., , ., overt threats. he knows exactly what he'sdoinu.~ . , ., he's doing. what can be done? do you have u- to he's doing. what can be done? do you have up to the — he's doing. what can be done? do you have up to the future? _ he's doing. what can be done? do you have up to the future? i _ he's doing. what can be done? do you have up to the future? i would - he's doing. what can be done? do you have up to the future? i would know. have up to the future? i would know if i would have up to the future? i would know if i would call _ have up to the future? i would know if i would call it — have up to the future? i would know if i would call it hope _ have up to the future? i would know if i would call it hope but i _ have up to the future? i would know if i would call it hope but i feel- if i would call it hope but i feel as though the department ofjustice —— would not. other institutions charged with protecting our democracy are doing theirjob within the confines of their authority. but ultimately it's every americans responsibility to preserve democracy and ensure that it exists for future generations in this country. and i think we have all become complacent to her own success. we have not seen
11:20 pm
our democracy challenged in this way the very long time, we haven't seen it come from within and i think it is important that every american, especially our newer voters, those who may not of been old enough at the time of the january six attack to fully appreciate what took place and i turned to the presidentjoe biden to set the tone and help educate those americans as to what is really at stake here.— is really at stake here. thank you for “oininu is really at stake here. thank you forjoining us- — live now to tom jackman. a washington post reporter covering criminaljustice. tom, the wahington post ran a recent poll with tom, the washington post ran a recent poll with the university of maryland.
11:21 pm
it found that a quarter of americans believe a conspiracy theory that the fbi organised and encouraged the attack on the capitol onjan six. just talk to us about how that idea took hold? there's a whole separate right wing info sphere that is apart from the mainstream media and apart from the or accuracy or truth which just recycles lies in donald trump today said the fbi was involved injanuary six at the talk to these people, they accept this fact and number of them, the people took the pole and said yes, believed to be i did this, i when they said everybody knows this, everyone knows the fbi did. it
11:22 pm
is breathtaking, it is stunning as the first time you've asked this question, you need to think what the answer will be a year from now but we ask the question again but distance from the real world is shocking and i'm someone who's been in the hundreds of these trials and hearings next seen the officer testified i've spoken with them and there are no fpi or nt 4.0 or blm people being prosecuted or accused so it is a crazy believe i do not know how us to characterise it —— antifa. and we should point out that that number rises to 34% among republicans and 13% of democrats. there is a base of people who believe fiction and that creates a
11:23 pm
problem for people running against that, such asjoe biden who give a very powerful speech yesterday talking about facts, what actually happened that day in the mainstream media yesterday today, tomorrow replaying the footage of what went on inside the building outside the ability for guys like the police officer were battered, tased and had a heart attack, this was not the people just wandering into the capital that base is bigger and we saw donald trump approval rating go up saw donald trump approval rating go up after he got indicted for inciting all of this to subvert the election and the difference between him and the other candidates, the separation crew and continues to grow each time he gets charged with something. it is grow each time he gets charged with somethina. , ., , something. it is not 'ust the testimony * something. it is notjust the testimony resonating -
11:24 pm
something. it is not just the - testimony resonating testimony the likes of the former broadway leader. the ex—proud boy leader henry enrique tarrio has said trump encouraged them to fight like hell. is that gaining any traction? six trials have pleaded guilty to federal crimes. changing any minds? i interviewed him after his trial we continue to repeat some of the same list information —— misinformation i do not know how you push back on that instead of continuing pushing the facts out into the broader range of america but there's a section of america that is not paying attention to that, they're locked into rupert murdoch, fox news and one american news and other right wing pundits, whatever you want to call them who

11:26 pm
of flood warnings is continuing to steadily drop. but there are still plenty of them in place. so do take a look at the details on those on the bbc weather website. of course, it's a lot drier now than it has been recently. we're set to keep that dry weather as we head through the next few days. it's certainly feeling colder. temperatures closer to the seasonal average, frost and fog forming through the overnight periods. also some icy stretches with the ground so damp, too, and the high pressure is set to stick around as we head into next week. it's just blocking all of these atlantic systems pushing in from the west. so we should stay dry and settled with some showers perhaps towards the east. and we're starting off sunday morning with quite a widespread frost, although temperatures a little higher, just above freezing where we keep the layers of cloud fog lingering on for much of the morning yet again. it's going to be very slow to lift and close some very dense
11:27 pm
patches out there. the sunshine very weak at this time of year, not doing too much to burn it back. but there will be a lot of sunshine around across scotland, northern england and northern ireland. sunny spells for england and wales, but always cloudier towards these north sea facing coasts with quite a noticeable northeasterly wind blowing a few showers onshore at times, but wintry over the north york moors and perhaps over the downs of kent. but these will be the days highs two to six degrees celsius, although in the north easterly wind it's going to feel a good few degrees colder than that. and it's more of the same as we head into monday. perhaps the breeze picking up a little across east anglia and the south east of england as we head through the day. so feeling colder once again, but some sunny spells around again. any fog could linger on for much of the morning, even into the afternoon, temperatures between three and five degrees celsius. but once again, i think some places could possibly feel subzero in exposure to that brisk northeasterly wind. it will be windier through the channel as well. and then into tuesday, we'll see more of a wind developing towards the south of england. and this will allow the cloud to break up a little more. so more in the way of sunshine probably. but again, highs of only three to 6
11:28 pm
degrees celsius, some fog and some low cloud further north. and here's the outlook for our capital cities as we head through the rest of the week. temperatures will rise a little as we head into thursday and friday. it's still looking mostly dry, bye bye.
