6:34 pm
activated the national guard there and is trying to end the protests the gatherings in washington that are taking place currently unlawfully because of the curfew as but these pictures here are not in washington there are the counter protest next to trump tower and we can see. not so many people there just yet but it is possible that we will be seeing bludger crowds later on in the evening as there is no curfew there. tell us take a look at how the building was stormed was was thank god god. god. was. who own
6:35 pm
god police used tear gas and stun grenades outside the capitol building to push protesters away from the building our sister channel r.t. america is also closely closely following the on rest and swan picks up the story. so this is been going on now for about the last half hour what we're seeing are a series of flash bangs that keep going off it's the upper part of this this platform area over on the left hand side back towards the building i have been told
6:36 pm
by multiple people who were up there and coming down that there is a large group of people who are still scuffling with police up there at one point some of those protesters took the pepper spray away from police and pepper sprayed officers so what the police are trying to do is they're trying to clear everyone off of these stairs and they're using those flash bangs if you used them now probably every few minutes to try to kind of clear people off and to bring them down they're using pepper spray and they're using flash bangs to work things rick i was listening to your reporting one of the things that we have learned about that young woman i have been getting some information from people who were here the young woman who was shot in the neck or head area apparently was part of a 1st wave of people who pushed in you hear those why the way more of those flash bangs going off she was part of the 1st wave that pushed it with a group of men they pushed through the doors and one of the officers i'm told it was a female officer inside the capitol building who actually pay very high or did your
6:37 pm
weapon and then he hit her i've also been told. fred what you have your photographer has had other measurements in his head so much as you are without listening to the video but you but please keep talking we want to hear what you have to say oh. yes so so we have also we've also been told that apparently there was another man who may have had a heart attack when he was being pepper sprayed inside of the building so i have been told there may be 2 people who are in serious condition after this i got to also tell you i just finished talking with a guy who was part of this wave that pushed through the capitol building he was showing me videos of him going through rick breaking glass inside the senate chambers going through nancy pelosi office he said there were several 100. people at one point going through nancy pelosi office sitting in the different the different chair so right now what we're seeing and what you're seeing with this the smoke is what is flash bangs going off up there and it looks like police trying to
6:38 pm
push some of these guys off of the the stairway and to move them down off of the capitol building you know better to help us understand because you visualize this you could see it ok great as your camera goes and we start to understand what they're doing it looks like the strategy is to keep them off that high to keep them off of that upper tier because that's where from that pier they can reach the building they're welcome to protest down below as much as they want i imagine right i mean after all they you know this is america you can protest you just can't break the building. well well it is so but so what we've been seeing is this they were all the way up there in that in that upper area that upper echelon area right now where you can see. that group of officers standing up at the top that was completely full of trump supporters as of you know 3045 minutes ago slowly they've been moving these folks down so now if you look you can see these officers are starting to really move everyone off of those stairs they're moving them down
6:39 pm
now and with more force than we've seen throughout the day today this is by far the most force that we've seen in terms of moving people off of the building they pretty much let people set up there on afternoon i mean we had people sitting on the edges of of the stairwells sitting on the on the bleachers that are set up for the inauguration they were all up there for hours and now as we look up there it's all the you know lime green officers coats and they're pushing all these folks down here president elect joe biden has given an urgent address to the nation he strongly condemned the unrest that's rocked capitol hill branding it a quote insurrection meanwhile president donald trump also posted a video on twitter urging his supporters to act peacefully and go home let's take a look at what they had to say. i call on president trump to go on national television now to fulfill his oath and defend the constitution and demand an end to this see each the
6:40 pm
storm the capitol to smash windows to occupy offices the floor of the united states senate rummaging through desks on the capitol of the house of representatives threatening the safety of duly elected officials it's not protest it's insurrection the world is watching like so many other americans i'm genuinely shocked and saddened that our nation so long the beacon of light hope for democracy has come to such a dark moment we don't want anybody hurt it's a very tough period of time there's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us from me from you from our country this was a fraudulent election but we can't play into the hands of these people
6:41 pm
we have to have peace so go home we love you very special you've seen what happens you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil i know how you feel but go home and go home and peace we go live now to christopher harris executive director of on hyphenated america christopher thank you very much for joining us now these are definitely some stored unary scenes we're seeing today what do you what's your take on on all of this what you think about it. i think we need to find some of the people who broke into the capitol building some of the ones like the guy wearing the bullhorns i think his name is jack and jelly right let's go find him let's arrest those people let's check their backgrounds see where they came from because there's been plenty reports that answer phone busts in people like they've done everywhere listen folks you've had several days i know
6:42 pm
lots of people who came here washington d.c. who been here for 2 or 3 days peacefully protest peacefully or not to mostly peaceful like the mainstream media try to say as portland they can osha and all those other cities were being burned by and but when you get trump supporters together it's a peaceful protest you had the equivalent of 2 infantry divisions of well armed patriots who went to richmond virginia last year and you know what they did they cleaned up while they were there ok you can look at all of this that in the past couple months you've had truck rallies everywhere and you know what you have not seen violence the only time you see violence is at the end when people from eddie for a short just like what happened today it's no different than 1933 burning of the right side that's what you're seeing this is typical leftism and you know what you guys are russian t.v. you know all about socialism this is exactly what socialists do this is the play book it happened russia it happened in germany it happened in italy it happened in
6:43 pm
cuba this is straight out of their playbook and people sit there saying oh the president's inciting violence he did not say go out there and riot he did not say go and storm the capitol building i challenge you to find where he told them to go and do that i challenge you to find where he said to go and be violent it's no different than the peoples that there is over the president said there might be vine people in charlottesville that's not what he said that was taken completely out of context and you guys are doing the exact same thing today because it suits your purpose to try to paint conservatives and supporters as this virus. when we've never been trust me if we were the violent mob that end if you war you would have a lot of reason to worry but we're not we're peaceful loving people what you have is a lot of americans tunes of millions of americans who are pretty upset right now because they have found out that their votes don't count their votes are being stolen from them and they're in their men they're mad at their legislators they're mad at their
6:44 pm
court we're we're think for for the handful of us senators who are reese at least willing to represent the people and say hey i'm going to vote against now will that stop. joe biden from becoming president let me know it will stop that but the people need to be heard because our legislatures are lazy around the country our judiciary is lazy the u.s. supreme court has just become a bunch of spineless jellyfish who would refuse to hear the court case is that they took a case regarding college basketball or college athletes being paid but you would not take the case to look at what happened with the presidential election are you serious that that's why you were there this is why people are angry this is why so many people came to washington d.c. they wanted their voice to be heard but those were not troops supporters who stormed in the white house and were violent yes they showed up because that's what they came they wanted their voice be heard but those who were who were violent
6:45 pm
those were transported those were empty for those were paid educators and infiltrators because that's what socialists do well christopher i want to ask you on this on this topic right it was it was actually it was after these trump supporters had stormed the capitol building that we had gotten reports that a woman had been carried out of the capitol building after suffering gunshot wounds and we've actually received reports unfortunately she had passed away as i was also of these as a result of these injuries how do you think it's to blame for this. it absolutely you have left this additive years who are paid everybody knows there are bus loads of leftist educators traveling all over this country inciting violence i challenge you to go back once again and look at any truck rally when was it violent always one left to show up you had a mile long multiple like 90 mile long trunk rallies people came but rose all these really showed up and guess what when and if it wasn't there it was peaceful not
6:46 pm
mostly peaceful like the mainstream media says about the left but peaceful so to sit there and act like this was not the work of leftist educators is ridiculous it's it. it's amazing to me but x. it's not even amazing is already know how you are right but it but it's actually just totally lacking in moral clarity is totally lacking in integrity it's just it's mis characterization of everything because it suits your purpose to show and try to present trouble supporters in that matter yeah we're mad right now no doubt we're really upset about what happened with the election because we watched the we watched how the vote total changed in anybody who acts like that didn't happen it's crazy because we were sitting there watching it happen lot so the $75.00 plus 1000000 americans who watch their votes being stolen and our courts are not hearing our voice they will even take the case that's what's really tragic
6:47 pm
the one thing that they're there for is to take that case the legislatures have been. basically evil the u.s. congress has been a wall for over a century or as as far as we don't have any evidence. specifically pointing to leftist agitators and this seizing of the or storming of the capitol building radicals which you people say that there's no evidence because you don't it's like saying i don't see anything full of turn in this way you know what i don't see anything well but it's right there all you have to do is look it's right there well let me ask you this do you think that you know trump's previous right rhetoric refusing to concede defeat saying that you know these were fraudulent elections having the march name stop the steel you do you think this might have played into what happened at all. you know here's what's interesting what the president has been doing is going through every legal recourse of vailable to him that's the thing you know and everybody tries to act like he's out there trying to have some
6:48 pm
sort of revolution or like that no you know what he's done he's filed court briefs court recently been filed on his behalf he's taking every legal recourse all the way up into this vote in congress and that's what's happened it's there's nothing wrong with the way he's gone about doing things as opposed to what we saw happen last year when the whole world which is ironic run russian television read but what was ironic was last year they tried to impeach this president over a bold faced lie they try to say that there was a russian collusion you notice that one away right nobody talks about it because it was a lot they tried to impeach a duly elected us president or a bold faced lie but yet now they're trying to accuse him of things that he hasn't done i'm glad that he's not conceding defeat but you know what if it is to be that joe biden is the president then we'll just have to fight harder in terms of showing up to vote in the 2021 local elections state local elections in the 2022
6:49 pm
midterms but there's a lot of americans right now who are very disenchanted they feel disenfranchised because they sat there and watched their votes being invalidated their votes being stolen and you know what everyone everyone should be afraid of when this could happen because it seems like it's all well and good when it seems to have been a fit you know what happens when it's not working in your favor what we want we want fair elections that's what we want we want fair elections orchestra we want to say hey you know what they're sorry at 1st they were out of time here but we really appreciate your input christopher harris executive director of un hyphenated america thank you very much for joining us on the program thank you for the latest updates on the. current situation in washington hears our correspondent in the world is shocked by the political chaos taking place in the u.s. capitol many are looking at the images and just aghast at what's going on now let's
6:50 pm
remember this was a mass rally of trump supporters who believe that the election was fraudulent and donald trump did address that rally and say that his supporters and himself would not back down from their position that trump is the legitimate winner of the 2020 alexion here's some of what we heard from trump addressing his supporters today we will never give up we will never concede it doesn't happen does anybody believe that joe had 80000000 votes says that if. he had 80000000 computer votes it takes 3rd world countries there are elections are more honest than what we've been going through in this country democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous election set theft and this ever been a thing like this is so pure theft mike pence the vice president of the united states did not agree with donald trump and sent donald trump a carefully worded letter saying that he would not use his position in the u.s. congress to put forward donald trump's claims he said he's not in it's not
6:51 pm
basically his position and his job to determine the outcome of the election results meanwhile we have a number of republicans distancing themselves from donald trump as the chaos was happening on capitol hill the final results in georgia came in and the 2 seats in the u.s. senate that were up for grabs in georgia have both gone to democrats democrats have been victorious and it looks like for the 1st time since 2009 we're going to have a situation where the democrats will control the senate the house of representatives and the executive branch that's a pretty pretty solid grip on power in washington d.c. republicans will basically be unable to put forward many of their proposals and unable to stop many of their proposals. coming from the democrats so this is a kind of a situation where we're seeing the republican party almost isolated boys are speaking up and blaming donald trump for this saying that he is in effect polarized
6:52 pm
the country and as a result republicans overall are losing while traditional republicans are distancing themselves from donald trump the population seems to be lining up pretty solidly against trump and that is hurting his party however a poll did come out showing that among republicans only republican voters only 70 percent said they will they would like leaders of their party and members of congress from the republican party to talk more and sound more like trump so trump is increasingly becoming the face of the republican party trump ism is winning in the republican camp but among the broad population trump ism is being rejected and the republican party seems to be going down along with it these are certainly big events this is a deep crisis in us society certainly unprecedented to see what went on in the halls of congress today this is a big moment the whole country is reacting to events that many did not anticipate.
6:53 pm
to get a wider perspective on these events we go live to our correspondent in the studio thanks for joining us here maria can you tell us a little bit about the international reaction to these events well shortly the world is shocked watching what is going on in washington d.c. right now and what has been boiling in the american capital in the last hours unless the oldest in the last months the country being so divided torn by so much violence and anger with people being so aggressive angry again and violent again and being on the streets but the wednesday events left still despite all what we've seen in the last months confused and surprised in a bad way and and this is why i mean it's not every day that we we see in a democratic country hundreds of protests as the country's crucial building in. and a very important meeting for the entire nation forcing and it's not every day that you see vice president and the whole chamber being evacuated you know like
6:54 pm
a national guard on the ground. it's astonishing and you know and this is why speaking about international reaction most of the politicians we hear now condemn the chaos in washington and this is how they describe the situation on the ground the case and here is nato secretary general mr stoltenberg saying that the outcome of the democratic election should be respected shocking scenes in washington d.c. and here are some more officials describe in the situation in the american capital in quite similar words. on the scenes in washington d.c. this is not acceptable assault on democracy a peaceful and orderly transfer of power must be ensured the violent acts against american institutions are a grave attack against democracy i condemn them the american people's will and vote must be respected disgraceful scenes and u.s. congress the united states stands for democracy around the world that it is no voice oh but there should be a peaceful orderly transfer of power and here's also the german foreign minister
6:55 pm
and this is rather alarming for me but i can dodge calling on german citizens currently in washington d.c. to stay away from the city downtown because apparently it could be dangerous and it could be dangerous we've seen the pictures i mean 1st of all this crowd is immense is it's loud it looks aggressive and they shout they scream we've seen pictures of tear gas used inside the capitol building and we know that one woman died i mean in these protests and this is at least what we know right now and police already confirm that but there could be more victims of wednesday's events so it is violent and the protesters now you can see the pictures they interrupted the meeting the debate over certifying the election it was a very very beginning so interesting is that that meeting was interrupted and the congressman were not able to finish what they were supposed to do to certify the election to affirm president like joe biden's victory and now we are receiving reports that they are heading to
6:56 pm
a secret like military place hidden of course so that it is secure it you know i said protests as not knowing. the count of the votes and we hear that it may happen we may start hearing about the outcome of that in an hour or so and also we know that curt curfew is now in action in washington d.c. so very dramatic situation there these are definitely some seriously historic events. i mean we've here we've heard it labeled an insurrection by joe biden we just got a report that new york's governor actually called it a failed coup attempt so i want to ask what's been russia's official reaction to this and what do russian people seeing this on the television think about what's going on yeah 1st of all there is no still any official reaction from russia but after enable to talk to my friends and family and people on the streets and i have seen chad's i've checked russian media i can tell you that the overall reaction
6:57 pm
here in russia is that we believe that it's not happening it can happen in america because although some western media and many of them we know refer to russia as 3rd world country russian like most of them they look at america as a democratic country they respected the law and the they don't expect things like this happen in america you know and yet this is this is the reaction i think it's like from top to ordinary people everybody is shocked archies maria financial thank you very much for those international updates also big events coming out of washington right now we're going to leave you with america and in just about 30 minutes we'll be back with more hope to see you then.
