not of the popular mobilization forces. so big losses. crowds in bagdad gathered to demand a recount a u. s. congressional committee investigating january's assault on capitol hill has voted unanimously to approve a contempt report against steve bannon. he was a long time aid to donald trump and approving the report. the committee said it was shocking. but bannon refused to comply with subpoenas seeking documents and testimony well, article, hayden jones, a slide now from washington dc party. so just talk through what happened with the vote. well the, how did the committee basically send the message to the van and saying the committee is not going to take no, for an answer. so all of this is because the bad, it was very close to president trump after a brief falling out. he was in all of the meetings leading up to the january, 6, a rally, the former president donald trump attended and he said on his radio show, january, january, 5th, the day before the attack on the capital. that it basically,

and i'm going to quote him all hell's going to break loose in washington tomorrow. said it's not going to be anything like what you expect. so what does that mean? did he actually know that they were eventually going to have hundreds of riders actually break into the capital? very, very close to injury law makers. that was what the subpoena was for this january 6 commission said ok, we want to talk to you under oath. we want your records, we want sort of documents and he said, no, he said, i'm citing executive privilege. that's what the former president is saying that they can't have his records because of executive privilege. problem with that is, he's no longer the president and executive privilege lives with the current president. joe biden has said, no, i'm not going to give you executive privilege on these documents. so bad and said he wouldn't do this is all lawyer asked for a delay. the committee basically just said no, no delay unanimous decision 9 to 0 to send it on to the full house. i'm proxy. so what happens next to bottom then, and what kind of criminal case mean?

good mean gel could mean up to a year in jail and a $100000.00 fine, but it is a bit of a process. so this week we expect the full house of representative of representatives to vote on this. it's expected to pass probably narrowly, but we'll pass then the speaker, the house is going to send the referral to the us attorney in washington, who will likely work with the attorney general mary garland. and then they'll have to convey to grand georgia jury according to the statute. if the grand jury says there's enough evidence to go ahead and proceed with this criminal trial, then that would happen. so. and then if he's found guilty of $200000.00 fine up to a year in prison, and but the problem that the democrats have here is court proceedings take times, take time, lawyers can really gum it up. they can make sure there's long delays every indication savannah's gonna want to do that. no indication is going to be a jail whitley weights trial. and if it comes to that, and their concern is that the democrats have such a narrow majority in the house in history, tends to say the parent,

the president's party, in power loses in the next mid term elections. their concern as he delays, is long enough that they don't ever get those answers were taught. republicans take back charge and basically bury the inquiry. so there is some time pressure here. but the other factor here is there, dissipating dozens of witnesses, documents. they're sending a message to all of the other trump allies, fake face real penalty if they don't comply with this house subcommittee. so i sending the message to not only band and but everyone else, as the chairman said, we're not going to take no for an answer on this or to a bicycle hang live for sand, washington dc. patty, thank you. now pictures of emerged of damage caused by government dance strikes on the capital of ethiopia. to grind region, at least 3 people were killed. and macaulay strikes came days after new offensive was launched against to grow forces to say to a news agency says communication equipment was hit, the conflict in the north has been ongoing for almost a year and thousands of died. meanwhile healthcare work as in ethiopia to grow
