while riders vandalized the capital and threatened to kill members of congress. trump was watching it all unfold on tv from the white house. according to committee, investigators trump ignored please from advisors and trapped members of congress to call off the riders. aware of the rioters chance to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment. quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea, mike pence quote, deserves it. committee investigators also argued that a trump tweet in december was the impetus for far right groups to plan the insurrection. showing videotape depositions of writers, confirming their motives. he personally asked for us to come to the see that and i thought for everything he's known for us, it was the only thing he'd go ask me. i'll do all of us here today. then there was the ongoing effort led by trump to falsely claim the election had been stolen. the

committee showed video of then attorney general bill bar testifying that the claim was in fact a lie and made it clear. i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president was bold. and i, you know, i didn't want to be a part of it. investigators say trump didn't listen, but his daughter yvonne cut told them she did. i respect the attorney general bar. so a accepted what he sent was sent, according to the committee chairman, taken as a whole, the riot and the efforts to overturn the election was nothing short of a coup attempt. a 1st in american history, january 6, was the culmination of an attempted cou, a brazen attempt as one right to put it shortly after january 6 to overthrow the government. then republican leaders in congress remain the former

the point of these hearings is to spell out to the american people, what the members of the select committee believe, which is that in fact, this was an attempted coup on the usaa government. and in particular, on the usaa house of representatives, which was in the process of certifying the result of the november 2020 election, which in which joe biden was elected president. this is something that has never happened before in u. s. history and the committee's point is to spell out to the american public whether or not they want to believe. the fact that this incident did happen that it was a many months in the planning, and that the former us president donald trump was at the heart of that planning. that is the goal of the select committee to make that very public. so what happens next in this processions, there are 5 more hearings, 3 will be happening in the coming week on monday, wednesday, and thursday. and we expect to hear

a more testimony of from those who were here on january 6, 2021. and we also expect to hear more evidence being revealed by the select committee about what the former u. s. president was doing in order to full met these events. allegedly, we expect to hear in particular testimony about how the president was targeting his own vice president mike pence. we all know about the public, a pressure that was put on the vice president to essentially throw out the results of the election and send it back to the states in order to try to get a result that would have given donald trump a 2nd term in office, something which mike pence refused to do, but we're expecting to hear much more detail about those efforts to pressure him, as well as to put pressure on the justice department to also look for ways of bending us law in order to keep donald trump in power was one thank you very much indeed. rosalind jordan talking to us from capitol hill protesters in india or

that's exactly right, and this is focus as has been in the past with shangri la dialogue is very much on the tension between the u. s. and china. but it is important to note of course, that many other countries from the asia pacific will also be represented at the summit. and i'm just going to bring in an expert, aaron connolly to work with the july double s with. you can focus on south east asia. is it correct to say that all eyes are on us and china this weekend? would you say that? i think a lot of the meetings that you'll see take place will be through the prism of us china relations. so the 2 defense ministers just met, but there are a lot of other meetings happening that where that will be a topic of conversation the us trying to relationship. the thing important prime minister least in long when he's asked what singapore it's most important bilateral relationship. it says that the us, china, bilateral relationship effect all the other countries in the region as well. the developments in the asia pacific pacifically relating to security specifically

that he's not really been able to deal with the topic at hand, which is the budget debate and vote around the presidential budget. instead, the parliamentary session has been derailed to by disruptions of from opposition parties, primarily the economic freedom fighters who are demanding that he answers questions around this latest scandal. the theft of potentially alleged theft of millions of dollars from his private gave farm in the limpopo province. they're saying he shouldn't be allowed to deal with the presidential budget vote and stayed speak to south africans and answer questions around this alleged theft and the political parties, opposition political parties. i essentially in agreement around the president having to answer these questions, but some of them are saying, this isn't the platform and it's been dealt with separately. a, we didn't have word. they may be
