you're watching inauguration coverage on news4 at 6:00. >> a big day here in washington as we watched history unfold. president donald trump and his family took it all in from the reviewing stand near the white house. >> about an hour ago, the first family made their way down constitution avenue, up pennsylvania avenue with a military escort, waving to supports.

parade continues at this thells the festivities continue late into the night. several blocks away, chaos and confrontation, a limo engulfed in flames. police have been clashing with anti-donald trump demonstrators. some protesters hurling rocks and smashing windows. >> nearly 100 people have been arrested so far. we have a team of reporters all over the city to bring you the developments. >> let's go first to news4's chris lawrence at lafayette park right across from the reviewing stand with more on what's happening now and what's happening later tonight. >> reporter: just a beautiful view from this point. those bagpipes that you're hearing behind me are from the coastal florida police and fire drum. there you are. you can hear them. i can tell you president trump is showing a lot of

trail. while the family members have at times sat down to watch part of the parade, i haven't seen him take a seat yet. he has been on his feet, clapping, cheering as each element of the parade comes past. it has been an incredible arc. he started his day as a guest here at the white house. now ending the evening as the president of the united states. earlier in the day in the parade, just about -- i would say in the last ten minutes, 15 minutes, we saw the talladega college band come by. that brought the entire family to its feet, clapping and applauding. they're a historically black college, the only historically black college that agreed to participate in the parade. they took a lot of heat for doing so. and perhaps they may have taken heart from something that president trump said in his inaugural address where he said, if you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for

a lot of people are hoping that he can carry through on that part of his theme in trying to unify the country. it is going to be a busy night for the president. from here, he will attend three of the inaugural balls tonight. that is a big reduction from what we have seen from presidents past. presidents reagan, president clinton and president obama all attended between 10 or 11 balls. president trump, who came into office talking about getting to work, scaling back some of the pageantry and making this more about the people and getting down to business, is only going to do three. he'll do the liberty and the freedom ball, both at the washington convention center. and of course the ball for the service members at the national building museum, at which point he and the first lady will dae there. and then of course they will split up, dance with some of the service members. that will take him probably well

sore near close to being over. and when you think about it, this is now his life for the next four years. there are no vacations. there are no real weekends. he is now the president of the united states everybo minute, every hour of the day and night. >> thanks, chris. the pundits and the polls suggested it was impossible, but tonight donald trump leads the country. he did not waste time with a long or lofty inaugural address. >> reporter: from business tycoon straight to president of the united states, donald trump is the first to buy paybypass t military or public office to get here. in one of the shortest inaugural addresses ever, president trump began by painting a dark

of america. >> this american kacarnage stop right here and stops right now. january 20th, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. >> reporter: but trump also briefly referenced the deep divisions in this country. >> when you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. >> reporter: red make america great caps dotted the crowd of cheering spectators. but their support of president trump, very strong. >> it's to the point. it's what he's been telling people all along. >> he stood real strong today. he was very confident. >> he's saying we together will make america great. and the peop-

the people. without some uncomfortable moments. the crowd repeatedly booed chuck schumer's speech. even as the celebration continues, president trump has promised to get to work right away. his staff has prepared some 200 executive actions for him to consider. the area around k street northwest have been the flash point for violent clashes as protesters through bottles and bricks at police and set a lot of things on fire. >> officers in riot gear are still trying to keep the situationnder control. mark, what's the situation like right now? >> reporter: we've seen this same situation unfolding all day at multiple intersections. here we are again, a fire in the middle of the street. people sitting in the street closed off to

franklin square, which is one of the stages for the protesters. i can tell you people have been lighting fires in the middle of the street, throwing newspaper bundles into them, facing off with police all day. earlier today, as you said, things got heated early when protesters near mcpherson square were marching down the street, smashing windows, trying to push police out of their way. that's when police started to chase them. we had video of that chase where about 50 or 60 protesters were being chased by almost as many police officers. at that point they surrounded those protesters and that's when they began the mass arrests. so far today about 95 people have been arrested. they have been charged with rioting. we also know at least two d.c. police officers have been injured during some of those dust-ups and at least one civilian also. later this afternoon, we also saw a

flames, also on k street. we don't know how that fire started. as we said, protesters have been starting fires throughout the city, throughout the streets. in fact, some of the businesses down here along k street have now started to board up their windows out of fear that their businesses could be damaged. but again, here at 14th and k street, we're seeing about a thousand protesters in the street, again, acting very peacefulfull peacefully. it's been some time since we've seen some of the anarchy and chaos. again, still a very volatile situation, very tense situation. but right now, it seems to be calming down a bit. you're hearing music from the performance stage in franklin square, which is one of the

for protesters. if we look over to our left, you'll see another line of protesters. they've been facing off with police here for about the past hour and a half, refusing to move. it's literally just been a standoff. the police standing in front of the protesters who have locked arms on the street. they're actually blocking 14th street. every now and then a car will try to drive through here and protesters will get in the way. once in a while, we'll see some trump supporters come here and stand between the police and the protesters. but again we haven't seen anything violent yet. we haven't seen any more arrests since earlier this afternoon.

gathered at john marshall park. some were

lives matter movement. things became tense when conservative radio talk show host alex jones walked out among the crowd. he said he had not intended to be in the area, but was there trying to get credentials. over on 3rd street and indiana avenue, protesters linked arms and blocked the road. >> and protesters this afternoon marched down i-395 in the city heading into virginia. this group called disrupt j-20. that group walked among the traffic and at points blocked cars from moving. the d.c. police also tweeted this afternoon that demonstrators marched on the southeast-southwest freeway and blocked exit ramps there. those protests were outside the secure zone and the protests had no impact on today's inaugural parade. president trump's parade route dates back more than 200 years. it's the same route that former president thomas jefferson took in the very first inaugural parade here in washington. trump's route began at the u.s. capitol, then

constitution avenue to pennsylvania avenue. the motorcade then drove past freedom plaza before finally arriving at the white house. erika gonzalez got crowd reaction to today's events. >> reporter: hi, doreen. so we are at 7th and pennsylvania near the u.s. navy memorial. and we are in fact, if you can see behind me -- i know it is a very dark scene as night has fallen here in our nation's capitol. this is in fact the end of the parade. and what is coming your way that you'll be seeing soon is the largest group president, which is the virginia military institute that is coming your way in your view in just a short time. we've had about the same number of participant this is year compared to previous years. a fewer number of groups. about the same number of participants. and the people that we spoke to today here in this

reaction to the inauguration of the billionaire businessman, now this nation's 45th president. a mixed reaction which is, of course, to be expected in this election and especially in this inauguration. take a listen. >> you want to follow a leader and a leader is someone you can beli believe in. i don't think i've found much of anything that i can believe in from donald trump. i think he's out for number one. >> i liked what i heard from president trump. i was tired of the last eight years of obama, to be honest with you. my health insurance has gone up. my pay has been stagnant. i'm not a big fan of the divide that we've had lately. >> reporter: this was also a very subdued crowd, a very quiet crowd here. the protesters were really on that side. they were peaceful protesters and they were on the opposite side of the street. but again this now the culmination of the inaugural pe

avenue. i'll let you, you know, pose this question to charlie. we saw the beginning of the motorcade about 3:45. the president wanting to stay within a 60-minute to 90-minute time frame on this parade to get right to business. we are, of course, in the 6:00 hour of this broadcast. so charlie in his expertise and knowledge can probably paint a better picture if this is on scale to be that two-hour average or shorter or longer. >> thank you very much. charlie is gone. we'll send him a tweet, see if he can respond today. pat collins has been at freedom plaza since before the sun came up today. he's been talking about supporters and critics of president trump and joins us now with more on the pulse on the people. >> reporter: jim, it was really patriotic. i heard more military music from military bands of every description. i started marching in place. i was t

well, just thinking about it. i sawhorse riders and bagpipers and of course a brand new president. out in the crowd, it was a crowd divided. pros and cons. well, here's a sample of what we saw along the parade route. you sort of wrapped yourself in the whole trump thing here. >> yes, i did. >> reporter: what was your feeling today as he took the oath and as it went forward? >> i just think i for once really sense that better days are coming for the american people. >> reporter: what do you make of today? >> well, i think it's a sad day for america and for the world, actually. there are a lot of people i know who are asking me what's going on in america. we're really scared of what's going to happen here. >> reporter: we talked to a number of trump supporters, but you've got to take a look at this one. her name is zoe, all decked

>> the dog is a donald trump supporter from day one. >> tell me about your feelings today. >> it's the best day ever. it's the best day ever. >> reporter: in a word, today for you was -- >> disappointing. disappointing. >> reporter: and what's next now? >> be involved. looking and participating as a citizen. >> reporter: your feelings today? >> excited, enthused, hopeful, optimistic. >> reporter: and when he took the oath of office? >> i got chills. we need change and hoping that this is beginning of a new thing. >> reporter: what would you say to people who are upset by this? >> to build a bridge and get over it. he's our president. he was elected. >> reporter: another inauguration,

president, that's about it for my block here at freedom plaza. >> well done, pat. long day for you. thank you for your coverage. we're going live now to mayor muriel bowser holding a news conference. >> we will not tolerate the destruction of our neighborhoods and we absolutely will not tolerate violence against our police officers and the thousands who have joined us to help with the peaceful inauguration. so right now we are working with our local and state and federal partners and monitoring all situations across the city and responding to those situations. specifically related to violence and destruction of property. let me say this again. we respect the rights of people to gather and to protest peacefully in washington, d.c. but we will not

violence and vandalism and the destruction of our neighborhoods. i'm going to ask the chief of police to give you some specifics related to npd's operations today and then we will be available for questions. i'm joined by our deputy mayor for public safety, our city administrator and our fire chief and drirector of the district's department of homeland security. >> good evening. thanks for joining us. as i related earlier today, we've seen thousands of people here in the district peaceably demonstrating. we want to thank those who came to d.c. and respected our city and our nation's capital. unfortunately a small group was determined to disrupt these events today, not by peaceful or civil disobedience, but by unlawful and dangerous behavior. this small group was involved in multiple instances of intentional vandalism and destruction of property. so

with npd's response to these events. our officers showed and continue to show excellent judgment. national and local news stations captured images of this small group of protesters throwing rocks and bricks at our officers. thankfully they were equipped with state of the art protective gear which prevented more serious injuries. the criminal actors involved in the earlier incidents were arrested and charged with rioting. in all, we have arrested 217 people. currently we are aware of six npd officers that sustained injuries. three of those were injuries to the head area as a result of being struck by flying objects. all of these injuries are minor and non-life threatening. we had prepared, as the mayor said, embassy tenxtensively for e

the events tonight. this will undoubtedly be a long day. we encourage those throughout the weekend to remain civil, express themselves peaceably and allow others with dissenting opinions to express themselves peaceably as well. lastly, we are certain those persons involved in the criminal acts earlier today came to our city with the intent -- and this was not a spontaneous event. the event occurred that i'm talking about that resulted in 217 arrests around 10:30 this morning. it was a group of about 400 or 500 persons south on 13th street. they began to destroy property, throw objects at people and through windows. a large percentage of this small group was armed with crowbars and hammers. vehicles and store fronts were damaged. when npd arrived, it appears the activities of this small g

when npd officers were targeted fors a saul s assault, they dep pepper spray and other armaments to protect themselves. small skirmishes took place as group members attempted to avoid arrest. as soon as we were able to coordinate resources, those identified as being involved were detained and then arrested. the men and women of the metropolitan police department are still monitoring several groups. we intend to work through the evening to continue to ensure that the city is safe. >> take a few questions. >> the 217 arrests, were those all -- >> mayor muriel bowser,

right away the mayor talking about welcoming everyone to the city, including protesters, but declaring that those who chose to be violent would not succeed in doing so and in destroying our neighborhoods. >> and the police chief talked about 217 arrests and the fact that the police department is ready to continue to manage the situation throughout the evening. the inaugural parade continues and our news4 at 6:00 continues in just a moment. hope you'll stay with us.

lo

attend, about half the number of people who were there for president obama's first inauguration in 2009. one thing you could count on is strong reaction from the spectators. meagan fitzgerald was in the middle of it all and has a report. >> we are so excited. we can't wait. >> we wanted to come out and celebra celebrate. >> reporter: they came from all across the country, braving the chilly temperatures and at times the rain to witness a piece of history. >> i hope that he does what he said he's going to do. i hope we drain the swamp. >> i really like the way trump talks. that's why i'm out here. >> reporter: but not everyone likes the way he talks or has acted up until now. >> i think he's very much a liar. like i said, when he couldn't show his taxes, i had a problem with that. anhe

>> reporter: citizens like al stannic were mixed in the with the crowd that wasn't as large as what we've seen in the past. >> from what i remember eight years ago, there was more people when i rode my bike in than today. >> reporter: regardless of how some may feel, the parade goes on and america celebrates what makes this nation so great, the peaceful transition of power. it was a peaceful transition of power at the capital today between president trump and former president obama. but as we see across the city with different demonstrations, there's still a lot of work that needs to be done to bring this divided nation together. reporting on the national mall, meagan fitzgerald, news4. thank you. political division grew deeper and turned violent on the streets during the inauguration as protesters clashed with police outside the secure zone. they set fires, barack obama windows, vandalized

police responded with flashbangs and pepper spray. tracee wilkins watched a lot of that as it unfolded. >> reporter: it was odd to have president trump taking the seat of power here, becoming the new leader of this country. meanwhile, just a few blocks away chaos. still even now there are folks who are on their way to the inauguration in their gone gowns and tuxedos. it started like any other inauguration. >> i'm just really excited to just be here. >> reporter: then as the sun rose, protests began. >> right now to see all these people protesting, that makes me proud to be american. >> reporter: some peaceful. >> i'm from rhode island. i drove a along way to

participate in this march. i think it's really important that we do this. >> reporter: then something changed. rioters on k street northwest began to tear businesses apart, breaking glass in buildings, parked cars. and then it got worse. >> he's 15 years old. he is 15 years old. >> reporter: the chaos simmered and encased a three-block radius on k street. more than 100 people arrested, a number of officers injured. and now it is time for the balls to begin this evening. and the police will stay on hand to make sure that we don't see the kind of violence we saw earlier erupt again. reporting live in northwest, i'm trace

we were expecting protests on this day, but there were also some disrupters who wreaked havoc on our city, as we've seen. >> there were a lot, in fact, twitter just coming out and reporting that 2 million tweets were send so far today related to the inauguration. among them, many of the photos and videos we've been showing you, some of the most widely shared ones, including this one that a viewer sent us of protesters smashing in the glass at the starbucks as well as the bank of america downtown. now also in the franklin square area, our reporters watched as trashcans were kicked and set on fire and the window of at least one bus stop was broken. on k street and northwest newspaper stands were tagged and over turns. we've seen video circulating with smoke in the air. also we know that police had

use pepper spray to disperse some rowdy crowds. d.c. police saying they've arrested at least 200 people, in fact, more than 200 people. many of them charged with rioting. some demonstrators blocking traffic. this was on the southeast freeway and part of 395 north was impassable because of demonstrators, a scene that reportedly went on for more than a mile. now, as this story continues to unfold on the streets of washington and online, we're going to keep updating our nbc washington app with the very latest. those protests did not have an impact on any of the official ceremonies today. and for supporters of donald trump, it's a day for which they've been waiting. many of them came to washington to witness his inauguration in person. chris gordon spent the day among the crowd on the national mall.

>> reporter: for the very first time supporters got to cheer him as president trump. >> i liked his speech because it was strong and it said what he was going to do and i believe he's going to do it. >> he wasn't my first choice, but as i heard him speak and the more he talks, the more i came to like him. >> for all of our people. >> reporter: president trump's inaugural address was just what ellen of detroit, michigan, wanted hear. >> when jobs and plants close down, we want to see those come back. >> reporter: these protesters on the mall remain peaceful, although they say they disagree with most of what president trump promises. >> the extent to which he's actually concerned about the struggles of hard working americans and the extent he's going to be working to enrich himself and his friends. >> reporter: some say president obama's first inauguration was bigger. >> i was here eight years ago. there was 1.8 million people. it was 22 degrees. i couldn't get past the washington monument

now i can almost get up to the capitol. >> reporter: this mother brought her children from florida and was nearly brought to tears. can you give me your reaction? >> hope has finally come. >> reporter: these supporters remained on the mall long after the inaugural address to take the moment in and to be able to say, i was there. at the u.s. capitol, chris gordon, news4. this inauguration day was packed with all kinds of events and some remarkable moments. nbc news reporters are covering it from all angles now. and here's a preview of what u you'll see tonight on nightly news. >> reporter: i'm kristin welker. the crowds today energized with a few protesters today. >> reporter: i'm kelly o'donnell inside the u.s. capitol where today this is the intersection of two

barack obama has left washington. donald trump is beginning his term. there's a kcelebratory luncheon. and the military aids who keep the nuclear codes are right in this room. >> reporter: identi >> reporter: these people are getting ready for the parade and for the newly sworn in donald trump to drive by. when he took the oath of office, the people here sang "we shall over come". now something of an introspective look at the inauguration ceremonies today. >> you've seen every inaugural since 1969. >> yes, i did.

>> all the people across the country today saw pennsylvania avenue. they saw donald trump's speech. they saw the parade. they don't see the neighbors where people today went about their business, 680,000 people. that's kind of lost unfortunately. >> some sentiment would have that what people did not hear today was soaring rhetoric. >> i was watching social media today at the end of that cafe and also the speech for trump. a lot of people criticized it as being more of a campaign speech and aggressive speech rather than a speech to the whole nation. some people wanted to hear, let's all get together kinds of speech. he kind of was doing a battle flag type

a lot of people did not like that. his supporters really loved it. >> so far today quite a successful inauguration day, but there's still a lot more to come, isn't there? >> tonight we over got the inaugural ball. tomorrow we've got the women's march. and then a week from tomorrow we have the march for life, the anti-apporti anti anti-apportion march. we're just starting a week of big activity here in washington. >> and a lot of challenges still ahead for all the police and security people. >> that's true. >> severely taxed over the next couple of weeks. thanks, tom. here is something for you history buffs. the first time an inauguration was held on the west lawn of the u.s. capitol was for ronald reagan back on january 20th, 1981. >> donald trump became our

president today during the country's 58th inaugural ceremony. his address was about 15 minutes long and contained some 1433 words. that made it more than 10 times longer than george washington's second inaugural address back in 1793. that was 135 words and was the shortest address in inaugural history. the longest inaugural address, william henry harrison's in march of 1841. that was 8445 words. here are some other fun facts. the first inauguration here in washington took place march 4th, 1801. that was the year thomas jefferson took office. before that the oath of office was administered to george washington, his first in 1789 in new york city, which was briefly the nation's capitol. 76 years later in 1865 for the very first time african-americans took part in the inaugural parade, kicking off abraham

term. but it was march 5th of 1917 before the first women took part in the inaugural parade. and the nation watched the first transition of power on television in january of 1949. that was the year harry truman became president. today of course we can also watch inaugurations live on the web. the first time that happened was 1997 for william jefferson clinton. finally donald trump is the first president without experience in either the u.s. military or elective office. we understand that the parade has pretty much ended right now. the president and the first lady about to go back into the white house. there's a night of celebration and of inaugural balls still to come. we will continue to provide coverage of all the inauguration activities as they proceed throughout the night. right now we're going to take a break. we'll be right back.

gear on one side of your screen deploying pepper spray and using batons. >> we have a lot of protesters in town but we also have some disrupters. i think what we're seeing are the disrupters. >> preserve, protect and defend -- >> the constitution of the united states. >> the constitution of the united states. >> so help me god. >> so help me god. >> congratulations, mr. president. ♪ >> look who finally woke up and came to work. >> meanwhile, let's talk housing and real estate in this town. we're shifting from real estate to healthcare. we are feeding our faces. >> absolutely. >> we've got a little seafood g gumbo. it is unbelievable. >> this was formerly the grilled pimento

>> and now i'm indoors and loves its. >> and wearing makeup. >> and wearing makeup and looking pretty. >> go, charlie. >> yeah. we ate a lot. we're now drinking a lot. we made inauguration coverage great again. >> yeah, we did. until 2021. back to you guys. >> maybe not. >> yeah. maybe not. so as the day turns into night, our attention now turns to tonight's inaugural balls. >> up deeindeed. kristin wright is at the national building museum for one of the balls. >> reporter: hey. what's been a special day for the first family will culminate here with the salute to our armed services ball at the national building museum. we do expect the president here later this evening as well as the first

vice president pence and his wife will be here as well. crowds are already starting to gather here at the ball. tonight it will be a special night. we understand that some gold star families have also been invited to attend. we know the president and the first lady will have their first dance here this evening. this is their third ball of the evening, we understand. and we know also this will be special, i think. president trump will have a dance with a member of the military tonight, a preselected member. he will dance with that person. the first lady will also have a special dance with a member of the military as well. vice president pence, same thing as well as his wife. so si thii think it will be a s night and a great way, organizers say, to honor our members of the military as well as veterans and first responders. we expect the president here in just a few hours. back

>> thank you. you look beautiful. >> reporter: yes. tough job. switching gears a little bit, let's go to doug with our weather forecast on this inauguration day. the rain didn't cause too many problems, doug. >> no. i want to thank you guys for waking me up from my nap. i've been sleeping all day in the weather center. >> you look pretty good, doug, not quite as good as kristin. >> the rain came through right when we expected it to. it was not very heavy, as expected. and it ended before the parade. all in all, a pretty nice day weather-wise, with the exception of those showers that lasted about a half hour. right now you can see a little bit of fog developing around our ea. 48 detectives, winds out of the southeast at only 3 miles an hour. fog is going to be a key issue tonight. first off, notice the

still at 47 in dulles. temperatures are not going to go down all that much tonight. but what will is the visibility. look at this. this has zero visibility around most of the area at 11:00 tonight. now, tonight maybe not too bad but there will be a lot of people out on the roadways. look at tomorrow morning. near zero just about everywhere. we're predicting some thick fog. would not be surprised to see a dense fog advisory. that will affect some of you tomorrow. even around 11:00 in the morning still zero visibility towards maryland, closer to the chesapeake. back to the west starting to clear a little bit. by 5:00 in the afternoon, most of us are okay. it goes right back down tomorrow night. we're going to be dealing with fog before that next big storm system moves in. right now no rain, but don't be surprised to see a little bit of drizzle out there.

coming on through. it was a big storm down to the south but as it moved our way, really lost its steam. another big storm back towards the west coast. getting hammered here in california. this has been great news for the drought out that way. part of the area no longer in drought in northern california. they're expecting 3-6 feet of snow in areas like tahoe. just amazing. that's the same storm that will move our way on sunday and into monday that will eventually become a nor'easter. tonight, no problems. it's the fog early tomorrow morning. tomorrow night maybe a couple of showers coming in. watch what happens by sunday. 1:00 here comes some rain. sunday morning dry. rain moves in, some of it heavy on sundays night. then watch what happens on monday morning, boom, big time rain as this area of low pressure really starts to develop. we are calling it a nor'easter, meaning northeast winds coming right off the atlantic ocean. this storm systes

little bit of a jog, so that's some good news. tomorrow, 56, early fog. 53 on sunday. yesterday i had us in the 40s on monday. 56 degrees. no chance now of any of this ending as snow on monday. look at next week, very nice until we see a colder pattern change that comes late next week. i'm going to go back and take my nap again. >> we'll see you at 11:00, i guess. >> oh yeah. angie has been keeping an eye on the social media buzz surrounding the inauguration. >> always a lot of interest in the first lady's fashion choices, right? >> that's right. but on inauguration day it was the counselor to the new president who created some instant buzz online in the wardrobe department. >> is this gucci? >> actually, yes.

revolutionary wear. >> all red, white and blue. >> okay. that was kellyanne conway talking about her inauguration day choice. her $3600 gucci jacket was compared to paddington bear and even the nutcracker. but the sky blue coat and matching gloves melania trump chose was well received. "washington post" fashion critic says that the first lady, quote, chose wisely. it was a look that had many looking back, in fact, comparing trump's ensemble to the powder blue suit that jacqueline kennedy wore at her husband's inauguration in 1961. and another outfit that had people talking, it was hillary clinton. this after she arrived in her signature white pants suit, also made by ralph
