republicans have tried to distance themselves from donald trump and from his supporters there have been some supporters that have doubled down and kept their fire on the democrats i'm sure glad that at least for one day i didn't hear my democratic colleagues calling to defund the police now it's important to note that 4 people did indeed die one woman was shot others died from their injuries a total of 4 deaths took place and amid all the political confusion and and allegations and boiling anger from both sides it seems that many have lost sight of the fact that there were 4 if atallah to. give thanks very much for bringing us through all the killer in new york. well indeed i was killed post saying a female protester was shot in the chest by a police officer in the capitol hill building she's one of one of 4 people who died
5:07 pm

5:09 pm
been sharing their insights into the unfolding political turmoil. 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 for it
5:10 pm
is we look back in history we would realize that the date and the documents that were style next week of the declaration of independence those are mutually contracts signed by each who agreed to be governed a certain way and when they decided that they no longer up the way in which their 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 don't need a change we vote in 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 act 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 other people of your government that you may use that 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.
5:11 pm
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 has been purchased through or he will do people say we need to not consent to being got ratings right and what you see right now is
5:12 pm
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 principles i are eat that is mean governing the democratic right that isn't that what you see right now 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 as a as a as a community have the responsibility to say yeah i'm not going to be part of a 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 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
5:13 pm
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. well let's move from the east to the west coast of the u.s. where anti trump activists clashed with police and supporters of the president in the state of oregon. the 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 at officers no reports of serious injuries there one person was arrested. but another key development took place in the state of georgia where both vacant

senate seats went to democratic candidates after a tight race that means the democrats now have control over the u.s. senate they already had a majority in the house of representatives it leaves them with a solid grip on power in congress for the 1st time since 2009 while the republican party has some deep soul searching to do you know all the legal media analyst lionel shared his views on whedon's this chaotic scene. 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
5:15 pm
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 is 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 comrade 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. all the international community of course has been reacting
5:16 pm
to events as well in washington r.t.s. peter all over it takes a closer look at what's been said by both america's allies and truffles. 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 iran the message coming out of tehran is there's only one person to blame for wednesday and what we saw last night and today in america demonstrates to 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
5:17 pm
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 after them up the peaceful handover of power as a result of free elections is the foundation stone of democracy and armed more spurred on by a sitting president who disregards the. storm the u.s. congress yesterday we all saw yesterday that 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.
5:18 pm
is not america definitely. we believe. in the throwing things 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 competence 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 peter overtaken astrud and it's not only the world's politicians who have been expressing concern about recent events in the united states here's the view on the street. it's like a civil war kind of like science fiction. in the past the united states was a model of development and democracy but we can't see their model of democracy
5:19 pm
anymore. in the us democracy has a long history and when it ends is something like this yes people are afraid. to die it is very worrying since it is an example of democracy it is really the 1st time that we see such a fierce struggle it thinks through out there it can have political and economic repercussions for the rest of the world. and this is totally unacceptable because it means excuse the term to spit on what is supposed to be the constitution the will of the people to spit on the image of a civil state in 2021. and often they claim that they have democracy for their own people but i would call it a false democracy because it doesn't exist and it's all made of the only try to show a bad image of our countries saying that our countries are not developed and disorganized see complete nonsense much of it is completely crazy this morning i said to myself that we're living in
5:20 pm
a crazy world and they're completely stalky to by all the things happening which my h. have never seen anything like this in a democracy. or just keeping things international we are sorry guests earlier as well how the events on capitol hill are going to affect america's image abroad. there's a lot of posturing by international leaders. particularly interests. which . is to. double standards or have always been a small change. so i wouldn't get to. these remarks or who serve as to her relations with. adversaries. with the near future as a result of the. when again he al was in europe in particular are very welcome in his plans to bring. into the senate to.
5:21 pm
progress and developments. climate change so. after a few days of being destroyed nations will continue along the channels. you have 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 with jim crow and then of course perfected but the southern strategy of barry goldwater lee at. richard nixon in new guinea and manifested today in the form of trump ism this is so-called america this is exactly who we are and it is a call 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
5:22 pm
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. let's move the program on with some more world news now there is conflicting reports are running a recent attack by french forces in mali the french military has said quote neutralized dozens of journalists in an airstrike but residents of a local village say it was a wedding party that was targeted shouted you've been skating picks up the story france is a role in the south africa has once again come under fire this time it's grave accusations that an ice strike it carried out over the weekend hit a waiting party this week the french. released information about a raid which it said had targeted just harvests that mission had the only claim neutralized dozens of fighters but moguls tell

5:26 pm
yes the supposedly militants were there but quite similar to the drone strikes in tribal pakistan in which you see militants and you in your mind do in terms of tells you that they are there at the same time that you have merged with a party that merged with local population and rather than withdraw them to fight another day or they have chosen to go in or go and living and have found me made them all truth situation you have to do hard the militants were there but the same time it's. a wedding taking place it is a social event and they should be more clear on how they chase militants and how they actually go about. stamping them out. finally this news hour part of a frozen waterfall has collapsed on a group of tourists in russia's far east one person was killed 3 others injured according to the russian emergencies ministry it happened early on thursday more
