national guard troops have been deployed to washington dc, in case of a repeat of the deadly riot on of january. much of the city in a state of lockdown. but heavy security is notjust confined to washington. police was out in force around public buildings in state capitals around the country, with security outnumbering trump supporter sin several places. this is st paul in minnesota, where a small group of some 50 protestors gathered on saturday. the mayor of washington dc, muriel bowser, says she's glad the military has pledged its support for a smooth transition of power next week. it's a place in our history that i'm sad that we've come to. american troops, should not have to be armed against their fellow americans. but what we saw was an unprecedented attack on our democracy, in the cradle of that democracy. william bratton is a former nypd police commissioner — here's his take on the security threats across the country. i think, as evidenced by the preparations under way in washington, dc, our nation's capital, and many of the state capitals around the country, they have shown t

state governors have their own local law enforcement, they have the ability to call forth their national guardtia, the citizen soldiers can engage in law enforcement and have a long and proud tradition since the founding of this nation of helping enforce domestic law and keep the peace. and state governors, especially after katrina, hurricane katrina in 2005, engaged in and implemented different prostate agreements, so that they can request help from fellow state governors to send those other state national guards and to augment their own. because there is a fear, a deep—seated fear that goes back to the federalist papers, to the founding fathers of the united states, and mothers, of the standing army, the us military, the federal military being deployed against us citizens. the standing army was always something to be feared as a threat to democracy and it was to be kept small and used for foreign wars, not internal use in the united states. so there isa in the united states. so there is a fear that president trump is a fear that president trump is using this politically, but he is fear monge

i have to say, the molten —— national guard did not wa nt molten —— national guard did not want us tova even when it got close to the water. it is because it remains dangerous and that is what they keep warning people here. the new venezuelan opposition leader has rejected the results of the elections even before the results have been announced. president nicolas maduro is almost certain to be re—elected despite the country being in deep crisis, with people going hungry and thousands fleeing every day. turn—out looks to be about 32%. the bbc‘s katy watson is in caracas. the results aren't in yet, but everybody expects mr maduro to win. it has been a very low turnout. certainly looking at the polling stations i visited, both pro—opposition and pro—government, there were very few people out on the street willing to vote. but the government has been very clear and very animated, telling people to go out and vote. they seem pretty confident. we will find out in the next few hours whether that confidence is misplaced or whether mr maduro will be winning a second term, like most people thin

the national guard is here, the governor ordered an additional 1000 national guard troops, we have seenthose humvees stationed at various intersections coming into this neighbourhood. there are men and women in military fatigues that they have done a good job of patrolling the neighbourhoods, keeping people out, making sure people are not looting, not doing what they are not supposed to, taking advantage of people at their lowest. there have been a couple of dozen arrests for looting and trespassing at this point but it feels that the national guard have it under control. and the police. charlie de mar. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. the bbc has been told of safety failings on board an egyptian dive boat that sank last november, killing 11 people. authorities have previously blamed the disaster on a "massive wave," but one leading expert has questioned the theory. 0ur correspondent joe inwood reports. it is almost unimaginable. 35 hours trapped here, in a boat that is slowly sinking. for luciana, it has taken a terrible toll. i was ready to die. and for me, to be
