the site earlier they are are reports a female protester died of her injuries after being shot inside the capitol during the riots video has emerged apparently showing the moment of the shooting in the capital a warning you may find this footage disturbing. number of police and secret service were saying get back get down get out of the way she didn't heed the call and as we kind of raced up to grab people pull them back they shot her in the neck and she fell back on me and started to say she was fine in school and then she started kind of like move in weird and blood was coming out of her mouth and neck and nose police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowd and push it away from the capitol has been swung was there for us at the very moment when the site was cleared of protesters.
8:33 pm
yes.
8:34 pm
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 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 used now probably every few minutes a day trying to kind of clear people off and to bring them down they're using pepper spray and they're using flash bangs to put things 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 it and you hear those why the way more of those flash bangs going off she was part of the 1st wave that pushed it with
8:35 pm
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 fired a weapon and then he hit her 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'll also got to 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 them going through 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 those flash bangs going off up there and it looks like police trying to push some of these guys off of the the stairway and to move them down off of the capitol
8:36 pm
building 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 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 are after noon 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 are pushing all these folks down there. president elect joe biden condemned the unrest branding it an insurrection while president donald trump also posted a video on twitter urging his supporters to act peacefully and head home let's take
8:37 pm
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 storm the capitol to smash windows to occupy offices the floor of the united states senate rummaging through desks on the capitol and house of representatives threatening the safety of duly elected officials it's not protest it's insurrection the world is watching and makes 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
8:38 pm
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 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 president trumps message you've just seen was posted online but facebook you tube and twitter have deleted the video for breaking their rules while twitter itself has gone one step further and blocked trump's account for repeated claims about rigged elections the ban will last for 12 hours but if violations continue twitter says the accounts will be deleted.
8:39 pm
meanwhile biden supporters have gathered in times square and by trump tower in new york city urging the president not to leave not only to leave the white house but also demanding his indictment the protesters held banners and posters calling on the president to accept the results of november's election. tell us get an update on the situation now and cross live to our new york correspondent caleb mop and caleb what's happening on capitol hill right now well at this point it appears the u.s. congress has reconvened mike pence spoke to the legislators when they reconvened emphasized that they would be proceeding with the business of certifying the presidential election this is mike prince the vice president of the united states addressing congress back in session despite everything. to those who wreaked havoc in our capitol today you did not win violence
8:40 pm
never wins freedom wins may god bless all who serve here and those who protect this place and may god bless the united states of america let's get back to work the united states senate will not be intimidated. so how did this all start well today was the day that the u.s. congress was scheduled to certify the election results and basically set the process in motion for joe biden to be inaugurated and trump called for a massive rally of his supporters to gather in washington d.c. to protest against that and possibly try to stop that here's how donald trump spoke to his crowd of supporters earlier before the chaos got going this is president
8:41 pm
trump this morning. 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 their elections are more honest than what we've been going through in this country democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous election set theft in this ever been a thing like this so pure theft now what's interesting is while trump supporters are basically the talk of the town at the moment for what's been going on it appears the deck is pretty solidly stacked against them mainstream republican voices are now denouncing donald trump and opposing what's just been going on you've heard what vice president mike pence had to say and while the chaos was going on the results came in from georgia and it is appears that now the 2 senate
8:42 pm
seats of georgia have been won by members of the democratic party that the election that took place the votes were counted victory was declared for 2 democratic senators in the normally republican and conservative red state of georgia so at this point we're facing a situation where for the 1st time since 2009 we will have the presidency of the united states the house of representatives and the u.s. senate firmly in the hands of the democratic. party and at this point even mainstream republicans are starting to distance themselves from donald trump now what is interesting is a poll was conducted among republicans 70 percent of republicans say they want their officials and want republicans to be more like donald trump so donald trump has pretty solid support among republicans but the country overall seems to be pretty solidly moving away from donald trump and how he sees things and today's events are getting a pretty strong condemnation from across the political spectrum so at this point
8:43 pm
things are looking like they have moved pretty far against the way donald trump and his supporters would like things to go people are seeing what went on today almost as an act of desperation so at this moment congress has reconvened they are certifying the election results and despite a lot of chaos on capitol hill it appears donald trump and his movement has at least for this moment bring pretty solidly defeated. the scale of mopp and thank you very much for those updates. now we for more details we're going to cross live to michael patrick flanagan republican party politician and former captain in the u.s. army michael thank you very much for joining us now we just saw a storming of the capitol building a woman was shot later confirmed by the police to be to unfortunately have deceased from her throat from from her injuries what do you think is responsible for all this including the death and you know who has blood on their hands. this is this is
8:44 pm
a very sad day it's a tough day you got half the country that believes the election was stolen from them whether they're right whether they're wrong whether they're true or they're not doesn't matter they believe that. it is incumbent upon the government to bring a legitimate election forward and a legitimate election is shown through sunlight through verifications where the things that has not happened and so you have violence and the violence is condemned here by me and by everyone else no one wants this violence and it's ended it's they've got they've left the capitol and it's not going to repeat they've had their venting moment they're gone. it is it is important for president elect biden who's going to be inaugurated in 2 weeks to understand that he represents more than half of america and whether you think that to $100000000.00 americans plus who supports
8:45 pm
the president or believe the election was stolen are wrong well that's ok and maybe they are wrong but the point is they believe they're right and so it's incumbent upon the democrats to show that they're one and they're not doing that that's kind of largely the biggest problem we have here is not that they want trump to be in the white house they want redress for what the how they believe they've been aggrieved the courts have been know how they've had one case after another thrown out on procedural grounds they've had no ear hearing anywhere anywhere of their legitimate complaints. and the few corners where they've actually tried to mollify them in georgia for example the the the recounts were john by the same people who did the original calzone observation this is not the kind of sunshine that we showed together as a nation in 2000 when we had going to look at every single hanging chad for months at a time it's the belief that the system is legitimate and working that makes the republic
8:46 pm
work when that's broken however right or wrong they are that's got to be fixed and this is going to be incumbent upon joe biden if i were him and i really believe i were elected legitimately i would say come look at the machines that you wanted to see come look at the signature and will come look at all of the ballots that we've assembled to get this done com look at the u.s.b. drives but now hold it democrats haven't done that and the media and the tech giants have not only protected this sort of view of you lost get over it move on we don't need to explain why you've lost but it is they've gone out of their way to actually squelch any groups that want to get it on you tube took down 200000 people with the with postings talking to each other about how. trump trump should have won there are there are a dozen different ways that the media could be helping the situation and doing a 12 part expose
8:47 pm
a and here's the trump people say this is why their guy won here's how the rock and helping the situation but they're not the solution by the tech the tech guys in the media guys in the stovepipes is just trying them off shut them down nobody talks and we have to wouldn't we cannot we cannot have any alternate opinion of the ewing out there a terrific example say the president is calling for calm and he turned off his ability to talk to the people while he's doing that because they don't want him doing that there's this is unprecedented time and again. and the violence is bad it's wrong it shouldn't be happening and they've left they're caught. but this is not to this is not going to be over today and a few prosecutions and i hope they comment was violence should be prosecuted needs to happen all this on top i mean one more point 3 please all this on top of the fact that he spends an entire year watching anti from below him burn the cities down and flick billions of dollars in damage of rioting everywhere and the left has
8:48 pm
legitimized violence now stands whole as it now stands posing for holy pictures about how evil and bad this is where were those voices all summer this is this is a huge problem and we cannot have violence that much as this is not a proper way to if it must stop and i think it has stopped and i think we have to have a way to pull the country together your excellent reporter from new york just observe we have a unified government now president trump was irrelevant 2 months ago after day after the election in 2 weeks he will be completely irrelevant it's not up to him and it's not his supporters it's thousands millions tens of millions of people who believe the system has failed them and doesn't work anymore they have to be brought back into the america we know and the doubt is incumbent upon the democrats who asked for power and now have it to do it and i hope and pray they will. all michael that was a very thorough response that covered
8:49 pm
a lot of the questions i had for you but here's a here's another one let's start to get ahead of likud party here there are the republican national committee just issued a statement actually condemning today's events saying they were an act of patriotism but an attack on the country now of course that's quite different from trump's of you do you think we're seeing some sort of split between you know like trump and his supporters against the system rather than republicans and democrats what do you think i wouldn't again the the the casting of them trump and his supporters as if he's some sort of you know a b. speckle jenner. well with an army that that that's not what's happening here you have 708090 1000000 people who have cast a ballot who believe that the guy they voted for won and didn't these are people furious with the system not angry at democrats not not losing their mind because trump's not their president i think for his fall. for example i personally think for his policies triumphs trumps face ought to be carved on a mountain but like most other americans i don't want him to come over to my house
8:50 pm
for dinner it is that man is a walking contradiction in so many different ways and he doesn't own followers that's not how this is working these are people who believe after having behaved well all summer and watching the lockdowns in the other difficulties through their lives having watched the violence and now they want to say ok you told us we lost the election i don't think we did but prove it to me now we don't have to prove it to you it states you said you last night sit down and shut up that is essentially the noise from official washington not just the democrats and this is something you're not going to get up with what is interesting point these are these rioters these these these vandals you know they didn't go into washington and burn it down like the from below him did the summer they went to the capitol the place of their grievance and said i want redress and i'm going to get send a message and get it done this is an interesting fact and they've largely left town too so this is this is
8:51 pm
a warning shot across the bow in direct answer to your question i don't think it's a trump versus the world thing i think it's a whole bunch of people who have lost their love of country who have lost an understanding of everything is ok because they don't think it's ok anymore and again it's incumbent upon the unified government to the democrats to somehow communicate that they can't just rail and be furious that's not good enough you asked for power you want to be in charge of the whole country i pray you'll do it well and the 1st stop is to get half of it. to believe that that you're legitimate and that the country is legitimate and anything i can do to help them do that and righteously i'm happy to do but i won't help them why and what why for them so as i said before the way to do it is look at all of our debt as it says i want to look at all the reasons we said we want and they have their powerful friends in the media and the tech giants hopes and do that in a good long way and there are a lot of republicans are reasonable if you can show me why i'm wrong why trump
8:52 pm
really didn't win i believe you show me in that this should should have been happening from november the 5th that hasn't happened yet and i pray it will happen well michael thank you for very much for that insight unfortunately we're out of time we could talk about this for a very long time but that was michael patrick flanagan republican party politician former captain of the u.s. army thanks a lot for joining us on the program you're saying thank you for having me. now to get some more perspective into what's been going on we've got our correspondent maria for an ocean here with us in the studio please take us through some of these international reactions to these events well obviously world is shocked washing what is happening in washington d.c. but more it and said at the same time because things have been developing on the ground in the american capital very violently and it's not every day that we see things like this happen in democratic countries not every day that we see hundreds of supporters storming the federal building interrupting the very important meeting debate over so define the election presidential election. and it's not every day
8:53 pm
that we see vice president evacuated in the whole senate temblor evacuated the national guard on the ground. so actually the world has been worried about what's going on america not only in the last couple of hours but in the last months with to be honest with america being divided torn by so much violence and intolerance and hatred with people being so exhausted so angry so aggressive to each other going on the streets. to protest and to beat each other and to kill each other but even despite all these things that we've been seeing from america in the last months wednesday events left so many shocked again and said and this is what exactly what we hear from the u.n. secretary general he said with events in washington d.c. and he's calling on the leadership of the country to solve it in
8:54 pm
a peaceful way nato secretary general and mrs tweeted shocking scenes in washington to see if we can't agree more. the outcome he added of this democratic election should be respected so overall the reaction from the latest that we hear so far from the leaders and from the politicians the show reaction i mean it's a condemnation of the chaos this is exactly the word they use to describe the situation in washington d.c. . here are some reactions. on the scenes in washington d.c. this is not acceptable assaults on democracy 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 in u.s. congress the united states stands for democracy around the world that it is no voice hold that there should be a peaceful orderly transfer of power. and here is also the german foreign minister
8:55 pm
and this is rather alarming for me i don't know but he's called on german citizens currently in washington d.c. to stay away. you know possibly from. the capitol building because it could be dangerous and it is dangerous we now know police confirm that that one protester a woman died in approaches she was shot and she died in hospital and we've seen these pictures i mean this is aggressive and very loud and. as armed national guards i mean i mean it has been violent and still could be dangerous there so and now we know that the congressman they returned to the capitol building and they are they have back to what they were supposed to finish hours hours before which is more if an ocean of thank you very much for those updates. so some big events coming out of washington we'll keep you updated with archie america up next and in
