10:05 pm
the right at capitol hill job. i'd mock the anniversary with a speech to the nation. for the 1st time in our history, president had not just lost an election. he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. as a violent mob reached the capital, but they failed. the code marched on the heart of democracy in the us to challenge the certification of the 2020 presidential election. donald trump claimed he'd been cheated and were going to the capital and fueled by anger and lies. his supporters fought battles across capitol hill as they tried to stop congress doing its job. this wasn't a group tourist. this is an armed insurrection. but this moment, this challenge to american democracy has not brought the country together. instead, president biden's speech just shows the fracture in us politics. we must decide
10:06 pm
what kind of nation are we going to be already going to be a nation that lives not by the light of the truth or the shadow of lies. many republicans opted not to attend the event. some claiming democrats were politicizing the attack. others because they were afraid of offending donald trump . the former president himself was due to hold a news conference in florida on the anniversary he canceled. he was told it would look bad. he did issue a statement saying your bike was using him to deflect from the awful job he was doing as president, and was seeking to divide the country. trump continues to claim without evidence that the election was stolen that he won the election, and american democracy still has to come to terms with him. his supporters and the de, the storm, the capital, allen fisher al jazeera, the white house. on my hand,
10:07 pm
i joined the slide now from capitol hill and mike, i guess president biden prides himself on being what he might call us a sort a straight shooter. but it's not often that we hear in using the sort of anger and angry tones that he did while criticizing trump very much. so in a way it was an precedent for president biden to be so strong and so clearly angry about his predecessor, he didn't even dignify him with using his name at any stage, referring only to the former president, but certainly lacerating donald trump holding him responsible for what happened a year ago, accusing him of putting politics over principles, accusing him of sitting in a room near the oval office, doing nothing for hours while people laid siege to the capital. so very strong words from president biden, but also he embraced a wider con concept,
10:08 pm
not just the actions of one individual who he holds responsible, but also the damage that has been done to the wider sense of democracy within the united states. with particular regard to voting rights, for example, president biden pointing out that a number of republican runs states are taking strong measures to restrict the rights of people to vote, to restrict male in ballads. for example, to jerry mand areas to reduce the number of democrat voters. so president biden, placing it in a far wider context that what happened on january, the 6th was part of a process that is a wider attack on the very nature of democracy itself. and it's interesting how some republicans have kind of accused, i guess, the democrats of politicizing, the issue if you will. i mean, regardless of what we think of that accusation, what sort of republican presence has there been today? who are very limited indeed to the vast bulk of republicans appeared to support
10:09 pm
a former president trump in his full selection claims. they also appeared to support him in his attempts to whitewash exactly what happened on this particular day in the chamber. when a minute's silence was heard, there was very few republicans to be seen as there was said, liz cheney, who's a member of the select committee that is investigating the general 6 events, one of only 2 republicans on the committee and her father, a former vice president dick cheney, but this just goes to show exactly how divided this country has begun. the fact that republicans shy away from any attempt to commemorate something that was such a blot on this country's democracy, showing as well. the absolute holds that the former president still has on the republican party. my can now with the latest there they are from washington d. c. capitol hill. mike, thank you. ah,
