2:05 am
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 it's shameful. to keep calling them protesters. protesters are there are 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 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 and in

a part of the swamp i mean all it's rhetoric about then all it's tens of thousands of people down there in washington d.c. terrorists it wasn't them they ate they had it they were going to take med video i saw today although nobody in the mainstream media saying 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 has and so on and 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 it the same 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 as whistleblowers are not letting us get on mainstream media and we've been complaining about they had too many different media so it's not just it's not just what their actions are 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
2:08 am
founded oh and it's the democrats doing the mainstream media regurgitates their lot 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. on trump has been allowed to tweet once again after being locked out of his account for 12 hours the media platform gave the outgoing president a fire warning and said that any future violations of twitter's rules would result in a permanent ban you all facebook has extended it suspension of trump's account for at least 2 weeks meaning no more posts from trump until power has been transferred to joe biden the network's c.e.o. mark zuckerberg says the president's last message posed a threat to u.s. democracy. we believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use all service joining this period is simply too great therefore we are extending the

broke week placed on his facebook and instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next 2 weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete 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 leftists
2:10 am
will be surprised to find they're 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. and all living former u.s. presidents have condemned the violence in at the capitol barack obama called it a great dishonor and shame for the nation george w. bush branded it an insurrection worthy of a banana republic with more on that his our senior correspondent. these scenes a usually an act of desperation i reproved heston's in disenchanted view does storming parliament and government pump pounds willed wives from bolivia to kyrgyzstan what
2:11 am
america didn't expect was to find itself on that least this is how elections a disputed in a banana republic not our democratic republic but now in the republic usually an unstable country with a huge wealth gap and reliant on the export of limited resources so how could this happen to america a nation that exploited regime change and revolution. we salute the courage and strength to believe in people who have protested against a government trying to steal an election the united states supports the courageous decision by one. the president of your national assembly to assert that body is constitutional powers declare madeira are your serp are and call for the establishment of a transitional government with 15 weeks of protesters in hong kong as centrist john staring message to the rest of the world about the trains of freedom and justice
2:12 am
turns out it's not soufan when it happens to you today was a dark day in the history of the united states capitol witness yesterday was not the scent. it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos and shameful or in our democracy it was an embarrassment and dual sides came out of this looking ugly the right for storming america's temple of democracy the left for pretending they're actually against violent protests despite months of riots and violent b.l.m. demonstrations and outside fiasco the season the sort of thing that's supposed to happen in america this is banana republic that we're watching happen this is what you expect to see in a banana republic journalists with equally confused a feeling of disbelief seem to grip them to surreal i feel like i'm talking to
2:13 am
a correspondent reporting from the you know bogota c.n.n. quickly became the subject of ridicule online as they haven't been attempts to storm the colombian parliament in decades to into also had a stellar movement listing who and why do venezuela's self-proclaimed president among the leaders who condemned what happened in capitol hill who won why do over the past few years has repeatedly attempted the violent seizure of power attacks an army base and even climbed over the parliament fence him self. what happened will stay in america's record for good this isn't something that you can just forget 4 people dead the halls of congress to thaw out and the terrible precedent since we spoke with tanya sure he's
2:14 am
a professor of latin american and caribbean studies he says that washington has tarnished his reputation as a bastion of democracy. these very. pro-american references to a banana republic harkens back to that of colonialism when the us invaded that al which is 14 towns in the beginning of the 20th century they want to project that this is a pristine democracy because how can they justify tensions with. one mosque down be. in holcim in a city if they don't have their own house in order for us let's be very clear we're talking about a democracy for the plutocrats and technocrats and big capital big money then yes the united states is a democracy if we're talking about democracy by and for the people not by and for the rich the ruling class. in the united states is
2:15 am
a disgrace in terms of every serious measure of democracy by president elect's color horace's tweeted that the way the police reacted during the capitol hill right was very different she says from how they behaved during the b.l.m. protests that we witnessed this is them suggested when we saw one that let extremists from the united states deny their release tear gas and peaceful protesters last summer.
2:16 am
former u.s. diplomat jim jatra says the violence of protests is tolerated only in certain cases . all along this year we've been seeing great destruction in our cities in the name oprah you know racial justice and so forth and there has been the sort of a differential attitude toward these rights like well these people are upset because george floyd so forth they have been able good cars behind them and i think we see mr bines remarks is not so much an objection to what happened at the capitol yesterday which by the way was nowhere near as destructive as what we've been seeing from black lives matter in all year but rather to demonize the people themselves to say that people who question the conduct of this election and that's what's at fault the cause behind their actions is what's really at fault and i think one with the things we're going to see is they're going to throw the book at anybody was ever identified as going to the capitol here they're going to be prosecutor they're going to be thrown in jail for decades probably in a way that no complete reverse of what come along here has said this was not done

2:24 am
lockdown is designed to reduce transmission by reducing contacts and the new variant that is being discovered in kane. is now clearly why widespread is small transmissible so that does mean that if you want to get the same effect from the lock down with the new variant it has to be even tougher but you know there's a limit as to how tough you could make a lot down in any society without then damaging the society so that's why all governments have really very very tricky choices right now they have to decide to what degree they're prepared to ask their citizens to put up with paying any convenience for the sake of getting the transmission to stop. one position being taken by the u.k.
