among. his supporters. this is

a. truly great. becomes the 1st. 1000000 people. with the pick of the week's news stories and right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly. we begin with a storming of capitol hill. supporters converged in

washington for a last ditch stop the steel rally shortly after an address by the president the congress and invaded the building. 5 people died as a result of the young rest including a 35 year old earth force veteran she was shot in the chest by police dozens of protesters being charged stunned arrested r.t. america has been sworn witness the events 1st i'm. 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 we're all 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 proof usually had a lot of blood on the side of her head on the side of her neck a. number of police the 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 to say 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 the 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.

so things are about to get a little bit rough here let's just pan over here next 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. a little living former u.s. presidents have condemned the violence of the capital barack obama called it a great dishonor and shame for the nation while george w. bush branded it an insurrection where they offer

a banana republic with more on the rhetoric being used here's our senior correspondent rough guesstimate. these scenes a usually an act of desperation i reproved heston's and disenchanted view does schooling parliaments and government pub pounds willed wives from bolivia to give the stone what america didn't expect was to find itself on that least this is how elections a disputed in a but non republic not solid democratic republic but 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 the new bully we salute the courage and strength of oblivion people who have protested against the government trying to steal an election the united states supports the courageous decision by

want. the president of your national assembly to assert that body is constitutional powers declare madeira are your server and call for the establishment of a transitional government with 15 weeks of protests jason hometown a centrist john a staring message to the rest of the world about the trains of freedom and justice turns out it's not soo fun when it happens to you today was a dark day in the history of the united states capitol witness yesterday was not dissent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos a shameful course made on our democracy it was an embarrassment and dual sides came out of this looking ugly the right the storming america's queen temple of democracy the lengths of pretending they were actually against violent protests the spite months of riots and violent b.l.m.

demonstrations and fiasco the season the sort of thing that's supposed to happen in america this. says 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 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 a violent seizure of power attacks an army base and even climbed over the parliament fence himself

*. what happened will stay in america's record for good this isn't something that you can just forget the holds of congress she thought and a terrible precedent set. these very. pro-american references to a banana republic harkens back to the times of colonialism when the us invaded that eye which is 14 salim's in the beginning of the 20th century they want to project that this is a pristine democracy because how can they justify tensions with say. one mosque ownby jame in holcim in-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 a disgrace in terms of very serious measure of democracy and more of our guest this week share their insights into the political crisis unfolding in the event. 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 and there actually is great precedent for it is we look back at history we didn't realize that the the time the documents that were style next to the declaration of independence those are mutually contracts signed by all who agreed to be governed a certain way and when they decided that they were no longer the great 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 me you have a right to make their voices heard trump is very cleverly brilliantly shifted the narrative from basically i lost an election to i was wrong by the evil system facebook and twitter are 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 seize 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 an organization that censors people absolutely i'm not. ending mr zuckerberg here trust me i'm not but he owns the real estate i'm walking on his lawn he's not walking on my lawn if he decides that you've got to wear green had 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 that i might have an expectation of privacy or protection board freedom of speech but i'm on his lawn his rules. well after the storming of the capitol social media giants blocked all of trump twitter has permanently removed the president's personal account which had 88000000 followers accusing him of inciting violence and about triggered

a war of reactions over the power of the tech companies. we are living in all wells 19 eighty-four free speech no longer exists in america it died with big and what's left is only there for a chosen few this is absolute insanity to it it may ban me for this but i'm willing to accept the fate your decision to permanently banned president trump has a serious mistake the ayatollah can tweets but trump can't says a lot about the people who run twitter now is the time facilities and valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior and go even further than they have already by permanently but in this manner from their platforms and put in place policies to prevent their technology from being used by the nation's leaders to feel insurrection donald trump spent years demagoguing lying spreading hate and propagating conspiracies and sweeter and the force inciting violence social media companies have allowed this vile content to fester for too long and need to do much

more but banning him is a good start. well silicon valley has been busy michael flynn former national security advisor trumpet lawyer sydney paul are among the president's high profile supporters who have their twitter accounts for us and you tube joined in bombing trumps former chief strategist steve bahman while conservative social media platform partner was the lead at 1st from google play then from apple store for failing to moderate content posted by users almost on has prevented partner from using its service to in response people have been getting creative on social media .

it's not the end of the day for trump unless he has no platform laughter and that's

exactly what they're trying to do so this is politically motivated censorship he's trying not to be silenced but he is being silenced what i read into it is that he has more to say and that he's you know he's going to continue despite the fact that he's given a mere concession speech he's going to get tenure to call the election fraudulent or at least based on widespread fraud and malfeasance they have been a political force and they've been driving censorship and propaganda for the last 40 years at least which will increase their. the election season so there is no surprise now that given the incident in d.c. on january 6th that they have decided to utterly ban trump it's quite a shocking development i think. still ahead confronting the covert enemy in africa algeria becomes the 1st country in the cultural to sign up for russia's vaccine we'll have the full story after the break.

last week it was an assault on the nation's capital what does this tell us about the state of american politics is there still a place to disagree and dissent importantly does the idea of a loyal opposition still exist. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being

that. way. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. it's in minutes into the program welcome back a british judge this week blocked julian assange and his extradition to the u.s. where he's wanted on espionage charges but the wiki leaks founder was denied bail he will remain in prison. he was outside the courthouse in london when the news broke. so i actually kind of fun that the decision was ruled in favor of juda so it just seems as though the judge was describing you guys won this case is a final decision for many people his supporters and campaign is absolutely too good

celebrating liking each other nothing less. true. 6 as long as julian has to injure suffering in isolation as an unconvicted prisoner in belmarsh prison and as long as our children continue to be the rest of their father's love and affection. we cannot celebrate. we will celebrate the day he comes home a glimpse of hope to start the new year and hopefully a new era. it is a day. a day of with wind for julia songs. but we have people. just not necessarily a win for journalists and so although today is

a victory an essence for judas so much as the judge did of course say that it was not politically motivated enough a serious concern for journalism going forward and the future of journalism as well i you know i spoke to rebecca vincent from reporters without borders and she says that journalists need to be protected so we read the very much and share the court's assessment of his serious mental health risk but we're concerned that the rest of the decision leaves the door open for possible other prosecutions on similar grounds because until that point until she came to that point of the decision it seemed very much that the case would have been in favor of the prosecution so without the mental health issues at play somebody else in that same situation could have indeed been extradited to the u.s. to face charges that so this pointed out broader systemic issues that need to be addressed the not the espionage act must be reformed it locks the public interest of funds if any publisher any journalist any source finds himself subject to similar proceedings they cannot adequately defend themselves. so as you heard press freedom of a cancer not healthy about the court's view on the charges against us and we spoke

to some of his high profile supporters including rock legend roger waters. this is a battle not just for the life of one great truly great journalist judy and sometimes it's a battle for the survival of the human race if we give the full 3 states if we allow. the united states government to crucify a journalist on the grounds that he revealed war crimes by them. then we give up our access to the real when he said he can believe the end of it and if somebody comes along and says actually you know what that's not true this government murdered journalists by machine gunning them from a helicopter in baghdad in 2007 and we know they did and here is the proof and

we're going to publish it and then and and then we'll say you can't do that because if you do we're going to kill you is that the well we want to live in. in offense the system has succeeded in intimidating the world and passing the message that this is what's going to happen to you if ever you have to the idea of publishing our dirty secrets and making that known to the world this judgment is come from this rationale and this whole narrative of criminalizing investigative journalism on both blowing it avoids even the tiny risks that it would still have that its own supreme court in the u.s. might overturn a judgment against 2 innocent based on on the 1st amendment of the constitution as was done in the pentagon papers we have to recognize that other investigative

journalist just who may not have. important health issue could still be extradited to the u.s. based on the exactly same charges. we are still very concerned by the gather mentation of the british sculpted didn't. take into consideration all the good reasons you know to to to release. julian assange. as a journalist you know just as an actor media actor in any case there are some discussions on the fact that he's the journalist or the. whistleblower in any case he committed a journalistic act you know by revealing. war crimes. by the us government in even. iraq and afghanistan so you know if you had acted as a journalist and a disservice for protection as

a journalist well the u.s. justice department has said it's extremely disappointed by britain's refusal to extradite julian assange and said it will seek to get the ruling overturned but the committee to protect journalists and geo is urging washington to drop all charges. we heartened that a british court has denied the united states' request to extradite julian assange lunch the u.s. government's decision to charge the wiki leaks founder said a harmful legal precedent for the prosecution of journalists around the world simply for interacting with their sources we have the u.s. department of justice to refrain from further pursuing extradition through appeals and to drop all charges against a stone age. algeria has become the 1st african nation to approve the russian sputnik vivax seen as part of an urgent inoculation campaign planned for this month the job is already in use in

a number of countries including argentina and serbia while in russia more than a 1000000 and a half doses help already been administered but in the country among the early leaders when it comes to vaccination programs and well ahead of many e.u. states. talking of which european nations are currently struggling with a new highly infectious strain of the krona virus in russia one case has so far been confirmed by the country's chief some tree doctor although she maintained the sputnik vaccine will still prove effective against it. from our data testing systems used in russia can identify the strain and vaccines registered in russia definitely provide protection against this strain. while to talk more about the story we joint pain management expert on the washington pain center dr john breaux ski good to see you there's quite a few vaccines coming to market around the world know what's likely to have drawn

algeria towards russia sputnik job. this i don't know i mean perhaps it might be related to how the vaccine has to be store of the american back seems mature and pfizer's have to be incredibly cold negative 30 degree centigrade perhaps a sputnik 516 is easier to just store in a north american country with maybe less you know sophisticated storage material i really don't know why they chose that over over an american or. european product without in mind could not perhaps be more appealing than to other african nations that this to words issues of course it is i mean you know this is a 1st world problem that they haven't asked the store so cold so we're straight in getting it was wells in america but for the continent of africa this is not even sorry not even a place to start or perhaps even india so having perhaps another way of getting it out of the population for the globe that is more accessible is is very important

the new infectious strain of the virus 1st the tech in britain has not been recorded in russia although the russian vaccine developers claim their job will prove effective against that how confident can they be at this stage he said. well they say that 95 percent confident that it will because when you work with an $880.00 viral vaccination you're looking at certain proteins of the virus and perhaps there's always something in common with 8 a new strain hopefully they've captured that aspect of the protein where you could have you know resistance or vaccine immunity with both the coke and one you know the coke in 1000 as well as do carry it so it is very positive a new york times reporter has written about personally having the sputnik praising its test results and availability the west has been somewhat skeptical of by rush's vaccine do you think that valid opinion may change. well hopefully you know science will bear it out i mean this is a global korean demick we're in a global scientific community we should not let politics or countries it have any

problem in this we should just let the facts be heard and hopefully you know with the global meetings or things like that saying but journalists find pfizer's fine or maybe the sputnik one is fine or perhaps it's one of many choices we don't have to choose all could be good possibilities to help us move forward is putting v. is still awaiting emergency approval from the world health organization how important would that be for the russian job to get it well i think it's really important you know to have the debbie h.-o. getting its moniker of approval i think that is accord i don't know what the holdup is and i'm sure the russian scientists and whistles physicians are moving forward to get this application through the. as always thank you very much for your time and your thoughts speaking to john dombrowski pain management expert of the washington pain center thank you. well what is it from me or a ford no i don't stray too far more great programs get their start in moments find
