look. for people to lose their lives after trump supporters stormed the capitol building in washington reactions to the events from the president and his successor clearly reflected deep divisions in the u.s. . threaten the safety of duly elected officials to stop the protests

insurrection we can't play into the hands of these people. we have to have peace so go home we love you. often deadly interruption congress gets back to business when joe biden no officially certified the winner all of the 2020 election. you see. sections around the world but stressed their shock out the riots in washington with many wondering what impact the events on the american democracy. chiming in from today across the globe welcome to our team international my names you know. 4 people died in clashes that erupted when donald trump supporters storm come. that was certifying joe biden's victory they had gathered in washington

for a stop the steele rally in support of the outgoing president over 50 officers were injured as they tried to disperse the protesters according to the chief of police bence one from r t america witnessed the events unfold on capitol hill. well the atmosphere out here is absolutely incredible right now as you can see president trump is speaking addressing a huge crowd which is over by the white house but world backed up all the way to the washington monument. we know that people were storming into the capitol we know that tear gas was fired and we also know that rubber bullets were fired but i was just showing video a minute ago it from inside the capitol of a young woman on a stretcher bleeding pretty pro fuselier had a lot of blood on the side of her and on the side of her neck a. number of police and secret service were saying

get back get down get out of the way she did leave the car 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 saying she's fine it's cool and then she started kind of like moving weird and blood was coming up and now the neck and nose just behind me there are thousands of people there on the other side of me there are thousands of people so you know when when those folks moved from the from the trump rally and speech where we were before down at the washington monument and they began to move this way it's a sea of people. way up at the top of this building apparently there are still people attempting to break into the capitol building there banging on windows up there.

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 bill. the young woman who was shot in the neck or head area apparently was part of 81st wave of people who pushed and you hear those why the way more of those flash bangs going off. and so so things are about to get a little bit rough here let's just pan over here negative so we have the capitol police are coming through we've got to move on ok we're being told we have to move on by capitol police.

ok it's a much quieter minus the police sirens here right there but there are very few people out right now no you know last time we came to you all we got cut off because capitol police were moving everyone out what was happening at that moment was we saw the capitol police come essentially with their right shields. only female protester was shot in the chest by a police officer in the capitol hill building she later died of her injuries and hospital the standoff was caught on camera and warning some viewers may find the following footage upsetting. was. no one. was

the woman in the video has been identified as earth force veteran but from san diego she was a passionate from supporter actively urging her views on social media it has been reported that the officer who shot bob and has been suspended pending an investigation the demonstrators death has been met with a mixed reaction on social media. cities would be burning if ashley babbitt was and then were of bel-air or n.t. for asking about the diet as a radicalized domestic terrorist violently assaulting our capitol spottable wallace more intent on harming members of congress the united states government capitol police murdered an american mother she supported exposing the d.n.c. lies in our nation's capital her name was asleep babbitt. well let's get the thoughts of scott ritter scott a former united nations weapons inspector and former marine corps intelligence

officer scott good to see you and a woman is dead after being shot how justified do you think the use of a firearm against actually bob it was yesterday. there's going to be an investigation the bottom line is a crowd of people illegally. sought to occupy and indeed occupy to a good portion of the united states capitol while congress is was in joint session bice president of the united states the number 2 man in america was was president. under no circumstances could law enforcement allow this crowd to gain access to areas where lawmakers including possibly the vice president were sheltered in place because of this this this attempt to occupy the capitol so you know under those circumstances lethal force is authorized whether or not they officer there's another video that shows that this was a very deliberate act on the part of the officer in question. the woman was

surrounded by capitol police who were heavily armed they were making no effort to to stop her from moving in and she clearly had no weapon and yet she was shot there will be an investigation but the bottom line is this when thousands of people seek to illegally occupy the capitol of the united states well congress is in joint session. on foresman has every right to use whatever force necessary to protect lawmakers from you know any harm that could be code befall them whether it was intended or unintended it is some of the criticism though isn't it i think helped to set scott in the aftermath of it the capitol hill police they were accused of some of being too lenient on the demonstrators allowing them to get so far in what's your thoughts i'm not asking. well let's look at the reality the demonstrators occupied the elite made their made their point and then evacuated the

building the u.s. capitol today is functioning it was not burned to the ground and we don't have hundreds dead so this is a good outcome from a very bad situation people who talk about the need to use force are frankly speaking you know playing with fire because the police used excessive force to remove these demonstrators or prevent them from gaining access to the capital we could have a much larger civil conflict underway throughout the united states there's 74000000 people who voted for donald trump and many of those people believe i mean 45 percent of republicans believe that the election was stolen that's tens of millions of people. passions are inflated i know it was disturbing was disturbing for me to watch what happened on t.v. yesterday when i saw the demonstrators walk out of the building. you know not not on stretchers not bleeding on the ground but walking out of the building being pushed gently by the police they said this is a good outcome this is

a good outcome because i'm going on a one horse point is there a discrepancy in the reaction then of a lot of politicians a lot in the media too to the pro trump supporters last night and perhaps about how those same politicians those seen members of the media spoke about the riots the protests the looting in many cities across the u.s. from the summer on words there seems to have been a variance saying that ok violence is ok in some situations but not certainly not last night. everything is situational but if you're looking for consistency on the part of american politicians 'd about what's what's been transpiring sense you know the you know the demonstrations broke out this summer you're not going to get it this is become very politicized and i would say that there is a difference between what happened yesterday and demonstrations aside to burn down

city blocks people were still killed in both instances look i agree and i spoken out against the use of deadly force by police officers i believe that you know that the american police are heavily militarized and prone to shooting i think yesterday was a case. of you know. restraint that should upon reflection be applauded i wish that was restraint were shown under similar some situations throughout the summer. of 2020 it wasn't you know but the bottom line is you know. you're not going to find consistency on the part of american politicians when it comes to the use of. 6 of police powers to restrain politicized demonstrations if a demonstration as a left wing bent the right wing is going to say police force should be used at the clinics the demonstration as

a right wing bentley yesterday left wing politicians are going to say for should have been used there's no consistency and just before we go scott your thoughts on the weeks ahead before the an organization do you see do you foresee more scenes like this or do you think it's going to filter out. look i don't know what i do know as a president ited states yesterday stood before a crowd incited sedition i believe the crowd was involved in a demonstration a protest what the president was trying to do was use their protests to interfere with and disrupt and perhaps overturn. you know a constitutionally mandated act of government that is soon to should and yet this man continues to sit the white house he has access to the nuclear football he can send american forces into war i think america would be ill advised to allow this man to remain in office for the next 12 days because a lot of bad things can happen it's time for the 25th amendment to be invoked i've never been a supporter of that previously but what the president did yesterday clearly shows

that he's unhinged and is capable of inciting violence on the part of you know his many many supporters so we can't trust that it's going to do it again he did it once he doesn't get a 2nd chance the thoughts of scott ritter scott's a former united nations weapons inspector and former marine corps intelligence officer thank you thank you both write the day yes where sharing their insights into the unfolding political turmoil states. this is sit decision this is an act to overthrow the us government people died this is beyond crazy this is a criminal act this is unprecedented i don't know that any point is certainly in recent american history has a group of has a mob essentially tried to storm the capitol during a basically a routine procedure i mean this is not the election this is the vote certification

which normally gets basically no media coverage it's just routine and to see this level of iron this level of of anger and hate and passion really shows that things have kind of got off the rails in american politics this is not normal behavior in american politics this is honestly not all behavior in any politics to see this kind of violence happening on sort of a routine you know certification process there actually is great precedent or of this we 'd look back in history we would realize that the the time the documents 'd that were style next you speak of the declaration of independence those are merely contracts signed by who agreed to be governed a certain way and when they decide that they no longer approve of the way you know mr governor as americans i actually believe that the contract allows us to say we have you know how we don't like how things are going and we want

a change we didn't we didn't change we voted our vote is not the cart and that's how the people you know think you have a right to make their voices heard and it actually is honor courage that if you read the fine print oh the declaration where it says that if you tell the great and there comes a time when you need to do an upheaval of your government then you may do so this is a carefully planned political strategy listen if you are seen as the loser in a contest you don't have the same spirit behind you as if you're seen as someone. was wronged in a legal hearing and trump has very cleverly brilliantly shifted the narrative from basically i lost an election to i was wronged by the evil system trump is just getting started i cannot imagine that this is the end of it this is the midpoint if anything i expect that trump supporters who are loyal to trump who want the rest of the republican party to be more like trump they don't want trump to be more like the rest they want the rest to be more like trump i don't see this as as as as

calming down any time soon i'm going to i imagine that the next 4 years you're going to see a lot more rallies a lot more potential violence unfortunately we're going to see a lot more ire and i do believe that trumps political career is very far from over everything that we are a hasn't been purchased through or people do people say we need to not consent to being got ratings right and what you see right now is a rehearing history and you see people standing up and say i don't like where this country is headed i don't agree with the principle that each that is being govern the democratic right absent that seem right that it's not about treason it's about people more american citizens saying that this is not what they signed up for facebook and twitter aren't just just censoring the president they're censoring basically anybody with a with a position that doesn't go along with the silicon valley narrative do they have the right to do it sure because does the government have a responsibility to cease any involvement with facebook definitely and most

importantly do we have as a as a community have the responsibility to say yeah i'm not going to be part of an organization that censors people absolutely and so this is incumbent on us as people to say we will not be part of any kind of organization that censors people up to and including the president of the united states and i'm not defending mr zucker here trust me i'm not but he owns the real estate i'm walking on his lawn he's not walk. on my lawn if he decides that you've got to wear green hat on my lawn that i have to wear green hat or i get kicked off his lawn if he wants to charge me for being on his lawn then i might have an expectation of privacy or protection or freedom of speech but i'm on his lawn his rules. that's where in the u.s. pro trump supporters clashed with police and country demonstrators in the state of oregon.

but he scuffles appeared mainly to take place between the 2 rival groups oregon state police are still reportedly looking for one protester who threw a smoke canisters or officers there were no reports of serious injuries however with one person. a weapons these violent scenes had been preceded by months and even years of growing political polarization in the u.s. to both sides becoming increasingly radical numerous left on right wing groups and played a prominent role in protests across the country even the reactions to the violence in capitol hill from donald trump joe biden demonstrated those deep divisions in the nation 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 we don't want anybody hurt it's a very tough period of time it is 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 piece another key development took place in the state of georgia where both very consented seats went to democratic candidates after a tight race that means the democrats now have control over the senate they already have a majority in the highest of representatives it leaves them with a solid grip on power for the 1st time since 2009 while the republican party have some deep soul searching to do illegal media analyst lionel shared his views on the current political crisis in america. it was terrible it was wrong there is this is not subject to debate pay can i ask this question because i'm

a former prosecutor i tend to think perhaps like this why were the police how was this if i were in the capital of if i were a senator or a congress person or a staff member or just a person doing business how do you go on to the floor of the senate how do you just walk in when they know about this and i'm not blaming anybody i'm not saying that because they weren't stopped these people are to blame please i've got to ask this question they had the national guard standing by you knew what was going to happen in some particular cases when would it be a lamb or are march breaks out or gets violent what do they do think they did we did call it a park or day they paid you know yellow black lives matter signs where the rioting occurred to get wait a minute this this encourages that so we have a number of plates that are spinning the 1st one as we denounce it the 2nd one is

did they not know what was going on but in addition to all of this i'm watching this thinking it's wrong but my god why is there not one consistent action when ever there is violence does it depend upon who is the perceived instigator of the violence and by the way if you don't think there were agent provocateurs in this or you have to go back and look at these tapes and see who is who this will take a week to ferret out and the international community has been reacting to events in washington our taste peter all of our takes a closer look at what's been said by both america's allies and its rivals. rioters storming one of the seats of power saying that they want to carry out a revolution isn't scenes that we usually expect to see from the united states and when it comes to reaction from a ron the message coming out of tehran is there's only one person to blame for wednesday when. what we saw last night and today in america demonstrates the

failure of western democracy and reveals how fragile and weak is foundation is we saw what calamities a populous has imposed upon his own country over the past 4 years he's blemish the dignity and reputation of his country there's also been a response from china where the foreign ministry has put out a warning on its web site the chinese citizens in the d.c. area telling them to strengthen precautions that they're taking judy to the mass demonstration that took place on wednesday also chinese social media has been drawing a lot of comparisons to what we saw the capital building to what we saw in the arab spring color revolutions. in anti government demonstrations in hong kong as well now u.s. allies around the world have been expressing their shock their concern and the hope that this doesn't fundamentally damage america's democracy. the peaceful handover

of power as a result of free elections is the foundation stone of democracy and armed mobs spurred on by a sitting president to disregard the spawn day since them stormed the u.s. congress yesterday we all saw yesterday the unsettling pictures of the storming of the u.s. congress these pictures made me angry and also sad i regret that since november president trump has failed to acknowledge his defeat and that includes yesterday what happened today in washington d.c. is not america definitely. we believe. in the throwing thought of our democracy. we believe in the strength of american democracy in the eyes of the world american democracy appears under siege this is an unseen assault on us democracy its institutions and the rule of law we've just seen you know confidence in democracy been shattered quite frankly and there's no justification for the level of violence will stop

a lot of shock being expressed openly by world leaders a lot of people wondering what comes next for the united states it all over all earlier we asked our guests how the events in calcutta whole will affect america's image abroad. there's a lot of posturing by international leaders all have been particular interests of their own societies but states like that further by making reference to the ones in this case yesterday but it by proceeding double standards are have always 'd been a small change almost so i wouldn't get too excited about these remarks or to certain as to how relations with. other sectors will develop in the in the near future as a result of what transpired when again the allies in europe in particular are very welcome in of his plans to bring back into the center of

all progress and developments in climate change so i think after a few days of being destroyed nations will 'd continue along its channels but with us soon after is that i definitely disagree with the president elect of saying that this is not us this is not america this is exactly what america is it started with colonization of indigenous land genocide of indigenous people pillage of african bodies forced to work on stolen land continued it with jim crow and then of course perfected with the southern strategy of barry goldwater lee at. water richard nixon a new king and manifested today in the form of trump ism this is so called america this is exactly who we are and it is a cough for us to really get introspective and to look at ourselves before we even have the temerity to go anywhere else on this planet to preach ideas of democracy

and justice and righteousness we're hearing right now from european countries who are looking at this nation as if it was some banana republic and so the scenes are very very troubling but i have to say unfortunately not too shocking. some more news to bring you know all. the program part of a frozen waterfall has collapsed on a group of tourists in russia's far east one person was killed 3 others injured that is according to the russian emergencies ministry it happened earlier on thursday more than 40 medics and rescue workers were dispatched to the side by helicopter the rescue operation is now over all the injured including one child being earth did to a local hospital the rest of the tourist group managed to leave the scene without further assistance micro plastics are now being followed in born babies a sobering finding the watching the hawks crew delve into in moments stay close for
