he didn't go into the details, but my assumption based on earlier reports is that this vehicle did travel 700 —— several hundred feet but it went over the central reservation in this freeway. it was a highway, but went over the central reservation and then down the hillside. it seems to have rolled over at least once before it came to a standstill, so perhaps he's talking about the total distance that it travelled from when he was driving it along that road. of course, no answers. they said it could take several weeks to complete this investigation. my speculation as to what might has happened —— have happened. it was a busy road at seven o'clock in the morning. residents are talking about how it's quite a dangerous area, lots of curves and people sometimes tending to go too fast in this area. perhaps it is significant that he was

driving a rental vehicle, presumably one he wasn't used to driving. there are also been reports that he was seen earlier leaving his hotel driving at speed as well. these are unconfirmed reports by the authority. unconfirmed reports by the authority-— unconfirmed reports by the authori . . , ., ., authority. can i interrupt? can i go back to the — authority. can i interrupt? can i go back to the press _ authority. can i interrupt? can i go back to the press conference? - authority. can i interrupt? can i go| back to the press conference? that meant the nearest _ back to the press conference? that meant the nearest trauma centre to the area's— meant the nearest trauma centre to the area's harbour, where he was transported in stable condition. that— transported in stable condition. that i_ transported in stable condition. that i do— transported in stable condition. that i do not know. i understand he has serious — that i do not know. i understand he has serious injuries to both legs. was that— has serious injuries to both legs. was that his decision to go to ucla? was that his decision to go to ucla? was at _ was that his decision to go to ucla? was at that— was that his decision to go to ucla? was at that severe? _ was that his decision to go to ucla? was at that severe? the _ was at that severe? the determination _ was at that severe? the determination of - was at that severe? the determination of where l was at that severe?- determination of where he was at that severe?— determination of where he was transported was made by the paramedics. he was transported to

when making security plans plans for january 6th. we did discuss whether the intelligence warranted having to reach the capital. that was the issue, and the collective judgement at that time was no, that intelligence did not want that. if the chief security leader had expressed doubt about our readiness without the national guard, i would not have hesitated to request them. the us capitol police chief echoed that, blaming federal law enforcement and the defence department for intelligence failures ahead of the riot. as recent as tuesday, january 5th, during a meeting i hosted with my executive team, the capitol police board and a dozen of the top law enforcement and military officials from dc, no entity, including the fbi, provided any new intelligence regarding january 6th. it should be also noted that the secretary of homeland security did not issue an elevated or imminent alert in reference to the events at the united states capitol onjanuary 6th. we probably planned for mass demonstrations

with possible violence. what we got was a military style, coordinated assault on my officers and a violent takeover of the capitol building. “ we —— we properly planned. the bbc�*s washington correspondent gary o'donoghue gave us his take on today's evidence. the testimony from him, who resigned as the _ the testimony from him, who resigned as the police _ the testimony from him, who resigned as the police chief— the testimony from him, who resigned as the police chief after— the testimony from him, who resigned as the police chief afterjanuary - as the police chief afterjanuary the 6th, — as the police chief afterjanuary the 6th, was— as the police chief afterjanuary the 6th, was striking. - as the police chief afterjanuary the 6th, was striking. he - as the police chief afterjanuary the 6th, was striking. he said i as the police chief afterjanuaryi the 6th, was striking. he said at one point— the 6th, was striking. he said at one point that _ the 6th, was striking. he said at one point that they'd _ the 6th, was striking. he said at one point that they'd plan - the 6th, was striking. he said at one point that they'd plan for. the 6th, was striking. he said at one point that they'd plan for a. one point that they'd plan for a protest. — one point that they'd plan for a protest. a _ one point that they'd plan for a protest, a first _ one point that they'd plan for a protest, a first amendment - one point that they'd plan for a - protest, a first amendment protest, and what _ protest, a first amendment protest, and what they— protest, a first amendment protest, and what they got was _ protest, a first amendment protest, and what they got was a _ protest, a first amendment protest, and what they got was a military - and what they got was a military assault— and what they got was a military assault on— and what they got was a military assault on the _ and what they got was a military assault on the capitol. _ and what they got was a military assault on the capitol. it - and what they got was a military assault on the capitol. it said i assault on the capitol. it said there — assault on the capitol. it said there had _ assault on the capitol. it said there had been— assault on the capitol. it said there had been an _ assault on the capitol. it said i there had been an intelligence failure — there had been an intelligence failure. that _ there had been an intelligence failure. that he _ there had been an intelligence failure. that he was _ there had been an intelligence failure. that he was critical- there had been an intelligence failure. that he was critical ofl there had been an intelligence i failure. that he was critical of the extent _ failure. that he was critical of the extent to — failure. that he was critical of the extent to which _ failure. that he was critical of the extent to which national - failure. that he was critical of the extent to which national guard i failure. that he was critical of the i extent to which national guard was deployed _ extent to which national guard was deployed quickly— extent to which national guard was deployed quickly enough _ extent to which national guard was deployed quickly enough to - extent to which national guard was deployed quickly enough to help i extent to which national guard was i deployed quickly enough to help them out. deployed quickly enough to help them out there's _ deployed quickly enough to help them out there's a — deployed quickly enough to help them out. there's a whole _ deployed quickly enough to help them out. there's a whole range _ deployed quickly enough to help them out. there's a whole range of- deployed quickly enough to help them out. there's a whole range of issues i out. there's a whole range of issues here that _ out. there's a whole range of issues here that we're _ out. there's a whole range of issues here that we're looking _ out. there's a whole range of issues here that we're looking at, - out. there's a whole range of issues here that we're looking at, but - here that we're looking at, but those — here that we're looking at, but those are _ here that we're looking at, but those are among _ here that we're looking at, but those are among some - here that we're looking at, but those are among some of- here that we're looking at, but those are among some of thel here that we're looking at, but - those are among some of the most important — those are among some of the most important one _ those are among some of the most important one-— stay with us on bbc news. still to come...

of an anomaly, not suggesting he's not good enough to win. but he just had another back surgery around christmas, he wasn't ready to go to his event in los angeles, which is why he was in california when he interviewed about what the possibilities were on sunday about him playing in the masters. he did not seem very committed that he would be able to play in the masters because he had been able to do anything in golf yet since his surgery. now it's clear that he's not going to be able to play in the masters, and the question is what could this accident due to him beyond affecting his back? there are so many things we don't know, and it is unfortunate because he has worked so hard every time he's had the surgery to be able to find a way to come back. this last time he came back, his swing looked so good in 2019 and the beginning of 2020. his swing looked like it did back when he was a kid, and now to see all
