be suspended indefinitely while a number of platforms have also blocked the president's pages and she sees confidence in democracy be quite frankly. politicians around the world express shock at the events in washington with people across the globe also wondering what impact they will have on so-called american exceptionalism it is very wiring since it is an example of democracy it is really the 1st time that we see such a fierce struggle and think it can have political and economic repercussions for the rest of the world. live from the russian capital this is our international time donald quarter taking you through today's top stories welcome to the program. 4 people have been left dead following clashes that erupted when pro trump supporters stormed congress on

wednesday as it was certifying joe biden's victory they had gathered in washington for a stop the steel rally in support of the outgoing president the u.s. capitol police chief has just resigned following the huge security breach more than 50 officers were injured while dispersing the crowds with 68 people in total detained only one of whom was actually from washington. the.

president invited me. and you can invite him in because. he had already overheard on the walk of. donald trump has condemned those who stormed the capitol building saying he is outraged by that he needs to tack he also vowed to oversee an orderly and seamless transition to a joe biden and ministration. the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol have

defiled the seat of american democracy to those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent to our country my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power and to all of my wonderful supporters i know you are disappointed but i also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning from sore spots to the events comes as democrats calls for are calling for his impeachment accusing him of inciting violence the scenes have laid bare the divisions within american society with biden branding the senate intruders domestic terrorists and as the details donald trump recently spoke of saying that the protesters who engaged in these actions on capitol hill would pay for their cruel actions and furthermore he said to his supporters that this is only the beginning and it appears his movement is not over now it's important to note that we heard earlier from joe biden said that the

protesters were domestic terrorists witness yesterday was not the sent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos. there were protesters don't dare call them protesters they were a riotous mob ensure actionist domestic terrorist democrats are now stepping in and calling for donald trump's in peach mint following yesterday's violence on capitol hill what's happened at the u.s. capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the united states incited by president trump this president's must not told office one day longer i joined a fair democratic leader and calling on the vice president to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment in the wake of these deadly attack on the kept so in the face of this insurrection we must stick to the must be

consequences those consequences must be commensurately with the fence and they must begin with the president of the united states the rhetoric of joe biden and the democrats about the protesters being terrorists is being echoed by celebrities and a shade full. to keep calling them protesters. protesters or service people walking around with the flag upside down thinking they're patriotic today was not patriotism today was terrorism and we've got trump supporters who are making light of the situation and to some degree and taking a dig at the democrats invoking what happened on capitol hill i'm sure glad that at least for one day i didn't hear my democratic colleagues calling to defund the police so it's important to note for people did die in the scuffles on capitol hill yesterday that seems to be lost amid more divisive rhetoric jokes he did words and

calls to remove donald trump and further escalate tensions in the country. in the wake of the un rest of the capital a vast number of t.v. channels are venting their anger at the president for example a.b.c.'s political director said in a now deleted tweet that while getting rid rid of trump is not difficult quote cleansing his followers would be a challenge and he's not the only one accusing trump of inciting violence among supporters. the president of the united states is clearly a danger and threat to the republic we call them terrorists terrorists mastic terroristic terrorism as a terrorist stronghold joe may * * call for the end of the surrender the united states of america he talked about what has he done in terms of incitement right at the site of bin ladin didn't we will all remember you because when the cool you in a bold and you supported us finally melted and you are barricaded inside cowering

in fear because it finally affects you before the president trying to go up as they were after they were against him from the very beginning i mean it's a part of the swamp i mean all this rhetoric about them and all it's tens of thousands of people down there in washington the terrorists it wasn't them they they had it they are going to shake my head video i saw today alone nobody in the mainstream media say this that video where the washington police were escorting bus loads of people in in-car the word fitting in with the. from supporters to make america great had to and so on in an assured them all and they were called anti to and that's basically they were they were they were the ones up front doing all this now i believe those people who broke in should be arrested and try but but the rest the vast majority they were not terrorists they were doing a damn thing they were sitting there protesting as it is their right to do under the constitution part of their whole thing is they're trying to keep us quiet this whistleblowers are not letting us get on mainstream media and we've been complaining about that to many different media so it's not just it's not just what

their actions they're doing in washington and how they're subverting our constitution they're violating all the constitution in the state they're finally i mean everything that our country's founded on. and it's the democrats doing the mainstream media regurgitates their life that's why i stopped watching t.v. because you know i'm over here on our t.v. or some other place watching those watching your channels rather to get something honest at least factually reported honestly rather than listen to all the lies and propaganda and the distortions that they push out on mainstream media t.v. your new us. one of the protesters killed during the turmoil was a woman shot by a police officer in the capitol hill building she later died of her injuries in hospital the standoff was kept caught on camera a warning you may find the following footage disturbing. you get out if you don't like them. thank you god

was . the woman shot has been identified as air force veteran ashley babbitt from san diego she was a passionate trump supporter who actively aired her views on social media it's been reported that the officer who fired the shot has been suspended pending an investigation here's some of the reactions to the killing cities would be burning if ashley babbitt was a member of be a lamb aren't. asked about the died as a radicalized domestic terrorist violently assaulting our capitol a spot of a little the small in tanton harming the embassy of congress the united states government capitol police murdered an american mother a she supports it exposing the d.n.c. lies in our nation's capital her name was asleep bob it's 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 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 the united states well congress is in joint session of course when as every right to use whatever force necessary to protect lawmakers from do any harm you know under those circumstances lethal force is authorized i spoke with a number of experts as the fiery political turmoil unfolded. 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 is we look back at history we didn't realize that the even the documents that were styled next week of the declaration of independence those are merely contracts signed by who agreed to be governed a certain way and when they decided that they no longer true love the way you know mr glover 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 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 to do an upheaval 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. 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 through people do people say we do not consent to the government's rights 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 principles that are each that is being govern the democratic right absent that we're seeing 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 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. thing on my lawn if he decides that you gotta 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 law that i might have an expectation of privacy or protection board freedom of speech but i'm on his lawn his rules are in while facebook has extended his suspension of trump's account for at least 2 weeks until

power has been completely transferred to joe biden the network's c.e.o. mark zuckerberg claimed the president's last spot last post posed a threat to us democracy we believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use all service during this period is simply too great therefore we are extending the broke we've placed on his facebook and instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next 2 weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete i spoke with radio host and political analyst dave perkins who fears social media will start censoring any dissenting opinions on their platforms now the trump will no longer get in the way. the social media companies are no longer a little bit restrained by the power of government potentially used against them which was what a donald trump presidency meant he was the one calling the commissions and interrogating what you're seeing now is their perception that trump has lost his

power to do anything to them and they're going after him 100 percent this 2 week ban will turn into a permanent ban trump will no longer be seen on facebook or twitter ever again they're going to succeed at limiting conservative opinion from being spread and the result is the social media is going to lose all sense of restraint and do what they have wanted to do for years and that is completely stifle any viewpoint they don't agree with and all of those people in management and ownership are fairly hard leftists and that is going to be the only acceptable view i think some leftist will be surprised to find there on the target list because facebook and twitter are going to be very serious about what opinions they're going to allow on their platforms and some people who are fairly solidly left and have been for years are going to end up getting snapped into their own traps and those people once they get started banning you they ban and ban and ban until one day they'll look around there's nobody left on either one of their platforms but that day is

a long time from now in the meantime it's going to get much worse there's understandably been a strong international reaction to the events in washington peter oliver has been taking a closer look. 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 terror on 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

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 as the foundation stone of democracy and armed mobs spurred on by a sitting president to disregard 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 thing 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 see your incompetence in democracy means. 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's not only the world's politicians who have been expressing concern though here's the view on the streets whoa whoa whoa this is like a civil war kind of like science fiction. appear in the past the united states was a model of development and democracy but we can't say they are

a model of democracy anymore when by starting in the us democracy has a long history and when it ends in something like this yes people are afraid. to present it don't 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 will look at them 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 up the only try to show about image of our countries saying that our countries are not developed and disorganized complete nonsense much of it is completely crazy this morning i said to myself that we're living in a crazy world and the completely studied by all the things happening at my age have

never seen anything like this in a democracy. we've been getting reactions from guests on how the events on capitol hill will affect america's image abroad. there's a lot of posturing by international leaders all have a particular interests of their own societies but states like that further by making reference 'd to the violence and states yesterday but it by proceeding double standards are have always been a small change. so i wouldn't get too excited about these remarks or concerned as to how relations with. other sectors will develop in the in the near future as a result of what transpired last week when again the allies in europe in particular are very welcome in his plans to bring back into the center of all progressive developments. by the change so i think after

a few days of being destroyed nations will 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 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. now in other news there are conflicting reports. surrounding a recent attack by french forces in mali the french military claims it neutralized dozens of jihadists in an airstrike but local say it was a wedding party that was hit charlotte dubinsky has the story front says role in the south africa has once again come under fire this time amidst grave accusations that a strike it carried out over the weekend hit a wedding party earlier this week the french army released information about a raid which it said had talkative just harvests that mission had the only claim neutralized dozens of fighters but no couth tell a much grimma version saying that they were taking part in a celebration when many were killed but was surprised by the intensity of the

strike the helicopter was flying very low the attacks took place around the village of banti a remote area but also the same location where so just an operation barking carried out for a shoot now the doctors without borders has confirmed that it treated some of those who were injured people from from to be ages that. came to the hospital and request to. ensure. and we managed to send a couple of. 18 inches from the. dish to. all of them what a man. from explosions. so they do was shut off met there was. gunshots were a source from the french military has to know i did scorsese hit

a wedding in the village there can't be any doubt so ambiguity there was no wedding this was a strike that was carried out after a particularly strict multiparty process on a fully identified armed terrorist group after collating information intentions posture in a study area france's role in the so has been difficult has over 5000 personnel on the ground in a bid to counter islam is the militants but the 7 year long intervention has come at a huge cost with $5.00 soldiers having recently paid with their lives in the region just in the last few weeks there have also been huge tensions over the presence of french military in the summer held with some accusing france are still seeing itself as being the colonial power and they have been protests against soldiers being stationed that. was.

if these reports are confirmed it would be seen as a new low for the french military in. charlotte r.t. paris political analyst lag or not i can lower believes france should have taken a different approach to combating the militants reports were fed from local beforehand that. as the wedding with taking place they were accosted by militants who asked for the men and women to be separated at the wedding party and more from that people said that they heard the helicopter gunship above. and fire fighters were raining down on them during the wedding show i think yes supposedly militants were there. but quite similar to the drone strikes in trouble pakistan in which you female it to you in your mind to

a 3rd of tells you that they are there that the famed time last year merged with a party that merged with local population and rather than withdraw to fight another day or 2 of them to go in or go leaving and have found me made the wrong choice of the future ration you know that you hardly know 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 the church militant and how they actually go about. stamping them out that's it for this hour my colleague neil harvey will be taking over with more of your world news stories in just about 30 minutes sun behalf of the art international team thanks for watching and we hope you have a great day. this
