as d.c. shift of african-americans leaving the cities and how would this perhaps impact the celebration of this holiday? >> it is one of the most nettlesome issues that we're confronting today. we are worried about the continual drain. we're worried about the difficulty of getting information into the schools and in a gentrifying environment and we're still working on that. that's the only way i know how to say it. we're aware of it. status quo and there are people working to talk about this history and to inspire our young folk, it seems like right now many of them beneficiary daes they're unfamiliar with it, they don't want to approach it thinking they're only going to get a tale of woe and sadness, when there are marvels episodes of resistance and inspiring encourage shown. we're going to continue to tell that story and we hope it will catch on. it's still worthy of being noted that d.c. is about still 47% african-american and according to greater, greater washington, there are small numbe

mayor bowser: i think d.c. residents should go about living their lives, and if there is a need, as i did over the weekend leading up to this, to ask them to stay away from certain areas, i will do that. i don't have that request at this stage. right now we want them to go about their lives. b signed up for our alert systems. chris -- >> yes, we would really encourage our residents and any visitors to the district of columbia to sign up for alert d.c. that can be done at alertdc .dc.gov. that can be done during an emergency situation, and certainly with the mayor declaring an emergency situation, we will push real-time information to our residents through alert d.c. --or bowser: and reporter: mayor bowser: and let me say specifically, we asked our residents not to participate in counterprotests. we asked regional residents, and their county leaders asked them not to participate in counterprotests. i know for a lot of people, i have gotten text messages, that was a hard thing to do because they want to fight bac

d.c. you get a couple of senators and a few congressmen sprinkled in with that. your thoughts? >> well, she is using the events from the last couple days as her excuse. it has been a democrat dream for a long time to have a 51st state in d.c. they vote 93% democrat. our founders made d.c. a neutral zone for a reason. a place where americans come to petition their government. it is meant to be that way. d.c. gets an out by their numbers get a disproportionate number of benefits per capita than any other state anywhere. $30,000 per student in d.c. so they get a lot of government money and federal money. no, it should not be that way. what's happening now is you'll

a curfew comes into effect in washington d.c. . unclear at this stage as to how many supporters are still out on the streets but come 6 pm local time they will be arrested if they violate that curfew the streets around capitol hill looking empty now many of the people have left from what it looks like and. the police operation to bring about calm seems to have worked so far from the pictures that we're seeing right now anyway president himself spoke to his supporters via video message on twitter saying that he understood them but calling on them as well to go home president elect joe biden who was supposed to be giving a speech on the economy earlier well had to change his plans of course send and. called on president supporters to end the standoff to end their. calling what is happening today in washington an insurrection so right now this is a scene it's looking much calmer than it did a few hours ago but certainly an unprecedented day in american history when supporters of us present donald trump storm capitol building. i'm full

people in d.c.high-security events, but when you talk to people who live here, whether they've been here for 5 years or 50 years, they say they have never seen anything quite like this. listen here. >> it's not every day you see them carrying assault rifles and things like that. it's very strange. i think what a lot of people miss a lot times is we live here, we work here. this is my local community. and it's amazing when your local community is always the center of national news, but you don't want to see it on national news like this. >> reporter: and as for those nationwide threats, the fbi sent an internal memo warning law enforcement agencies to be prepared for some sort of activity. we are told that law enforcement officials are keenly focused on states where president trump contested the election results or states that have a previous history of some sort of militialike activity or far right extremist groups. think wisconsin, michigan, places like that, minnesota as well. we're also told they

also d.c. called in.e're talking hundreds if not up to 1000 national guard troops coming into d.c., moving in on protesters to clear the streets of washington, d.c. can you talk to us about what happened the moment senator jim lankford was talking about his disputing the vote result? one of his aides came up and said protesters have breached the building. talk to us about what is the police, what happened with the police response right then and there? can you talk to us about that? >> well i can tell you this, i've been on capitol hill many times as i.c.e. director. the capitol police are grade a, professionals, they're well trained so i'm also puzzled how they got inside of the capitol building because they have a special response team, special operations team that respond to things like that. i think there needs to be an investigation what failed. on the response plans, what didn't work correctly. but you know, if you look at, i'm disgusted by what happened today, liz and people went too far when they a

officials and d.c. officials have to request a national guard to deploy the national guard to the u.s. capitol in washington d.c. off the protesters stormed the building this is the washington post now saying according to that sources the pentagon has denied a request by d.c. officials to bring in the national guard who we saw and along with various sort of weird paramilitary units with no insignia on the streets of d.c. during the summer during the black lives matter protest the pentagon is denying according to the washington post d.c. officials that deployment now when the capitol is actually being stormed by pro trump protesters there's another thing the flashing as well various local media and national media now reporting that sort the similar scenes and sadly some attention is being reported around the country in georgia militia members have gathered outside the georgia capitol this is from about 20 minutes ago and brad roughen spargo who we now know who the secretary of state of georgia he release

the press conference with d.c. secretary the police chief said that the protesters and rioters if you want to call them deployed chemical irritants on the police to gain access to the u.s. capitol will appear that it's pretty interesting that they were going to go into the capitol itself. it started at the mall and the march down the mall. the current, urgent matter is to clear the capitol itself and to make sure they are not other things or people in there. and whether the job that was supposed to be done today of certifying the electors continues tonight, continues and some other building, we don't know. but it is important to continue because remember, in two weeks from today, president-elect joe biden becomes the 46th president of the united states. >> bill: thank you, bret standby, tammy duckworth from illinois has been patient for us and senator, welcome to the coverage. i'm not sure where you are but give us a sense of where you wht you are seeing today. >> i'm in a secure location for the u.s. capitol with

what the d.c. america's called the new normal but here in washington and around the country americans just have to get used to how does your car still with the latest from washington d.c. hi to you. and still to come in this hour words and we'll have the latest live from washington where as we've just been hearing joe biden is now starting to work inside the white house. we're going to ask what are the biden administration's policy priorities will take a look at what he wants to achieve in his 1st 100 days. how low we've got trouble sightless coming and going across australia at the moment his kidney that's going that's clearing away from the eastern side of queensland and we've got lucas which has been forming around the northwestern corner and that's going to filter its way down across the kimberley pools the pilbara as we go through the next couple of days just rolling along the coast of western australia and all parts of western australia turning increasingly wet here so they're going to shower

a d.c. federal judge again intervened there to say, no, that guy needs to stay in custody while his trial is pending, overriding the judge in new jersey who said to send him home. basically everybody who attacked the government, everybody who attacked congress in the capitol building just walked away on january 6. but a lot of them got arrested and got charged once they got home. and we have been watching local news stories all over the country ever since. local news coverage in north texas, in california, in missouri, in pennsylvania, in massachusetts, in west virginia, in new mexico, in florida, in arkansas, in delaware, in cleveland, ohio, all people who participated in the attack on the government, we now have all this footage from local news of them having their houses raided and being arrested and in some cases turning themselves in, having their arraignments and their court appearances. and even in the case of those charged with serious stuff, you know, people having weapons and physi

he has since been released on bond with a condition he will leave d.c. until the date of his trial, shannon. >> shannon: all right, mike tobin, live on the streets of d.c. as we gear up for a big rally demonstration tomorrow. thank you, mike. we are monitoring the latest in georgia. we will keep an eye on the streets of d.c. our panel, live on the big stories tonight next.

attorney for d.c. said they found stun guns, crossbows, dozens of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition inside the capitol after those riots when they went through to do their investigation. and we know at this point that there have been over 100 people arrested for their involvement in the even 6th riots. over 200 people are suspects, and there are over 300 open cases into the riot on january 6th, which is all contributing to this atmosphere in d.c. as we get closer to the inauguration. >> everything you said is really kind of heart stopping but especially that part about what was found inside the capitol once that dust settled. julia ainsley, thanks for getting up early with us. >>> let's bring in someone that can give us perspective on all of this. jim cavanaugh joins us now. thank you for being here. we've seen the video of d.c. looking like a fortress. i couldn't help but logging on to google maps this morning to see what it looks like from that perspective. this was jaw dropping for me. the

so saying d.c. national guard is kind of a misnomer because the d.c. national guard is actually the president of the united states' guard. so any time i have to deploy the d.c. national guard in washington, d.c., i have to make a request to the president. any time i have to change their mission, i have to make a request to the secretary of the army. so being a state means that that wouldn't happen. i would be a governor or the chief executive of our new state would be a governor, and would be able to deploy our national guard just like every state. and that national guard would be accountable to us. to the people of the district of columbia. not to the president of the united states. >> now, you mentioned the announcement by some that they're coming back on inauguration day. what, to your knowledge, has been put in place and you hope to be put in place to make sure we don't see the inauguration of joe biden and kamala harris as president and vice president be in any way disrupted and that violence occur there and an attempt to stop the government from

secretary general he said the events in washington d.c. and he's calling on the leadership of the country to solve it in a peaceful way nato secretary general mrs stoltenberg tweeted shocking scenes in washington d.c. if we can't agree more. the outcome he added of these democratic elections should be respected so overall the reaction from the leaders we hear so far from the leaders and from the politicians official reaction i mean it's a condemnation of the k.s. this is exactly the word they use the scenes in washington d.c. this is not acceptable assaults on democracy and peaceful and really transfer of power must be ensured the violent acts against american institutions are. grave attack against democracy i condemn them the american people's will and vote must be respected disgraceful scenes in the us congress the united states stands for democracy around the world that it is no voice oh but those should be a peaceful orderly transfer of power and here is also the german foreign minister and this is rather alarming for me i don't know h

when i spoke to the commanding general of the d.c. national guard yesterday, he said as of yesterday afternoon there were 21,000 airmen and soldiers on the ground here. they have been authorized and expect to have at least 25,000 by inauguration day. but he told me they have actually now been approved and given permission to go beyond that. if necessary. yesterday we were inside the capitol security perimeter, and as inauguration rehearsals began and the orchestra started to play the national anthem we watched as workers began to install razor wire on the barricade that was in front of us. it was an eerie reminder of how this inauguration is taking place. all the pomp and circumstance of a presidential inauguration in the shadow of razor wire. this is the reality and what the 59th presidential inauguration looks like. it is military troops in addition to the beautiful sounds of a military orchestra. you're walking around d.c., you may see some of these signs. where you normally see ads for carpet removal on these bus shelters, they ha

d.c.'s mayor has asked the interior secretary to deny any permits for public gatherings between now and january 24, four days after the inauguration of president-elect joe biden. ayor muriel bowser held briefing on security in the nation's capital. ofor: i am the mayor washington, d.c. and i'm joined by members of my public health and public safety teams. we will begin today with a public safety update and then provide updates on covid-19. while we know there is an imminent threat to our democracy, there is infinite hope and trumpism want died on january 20 but our american values and our values are stronger than one extreme ideology. we will overcome this extremism together. thent to once again thank men and women of the metropolitan police department and d.c. fire and ems. when the u.s. capitol called us for backup, we answer the call and performed heroically. metro police were called a lot of names in 2020 but rightly so, they are called heroes today. i want to thank our mayors in maryl

the d.c. attorney general is looking at potentially charging president trump and others for inciting violence during the speeches given at the rally directly before this crowd descended on the capitol and our senior justice correspondent evan perez is following this for us. what can you tell us, evan? >> reporter: yeah. comments made by the d.c. attorney general, that is separate from the jurisdiction of the justice department, the u.s. attorney here. it's not clear exactly what racine is talking about, because the jurisdiction, there is a limitation on what the attorney general's office can really do here in washington, d.c. all criminal prosecutions generally are handledal by the u.s. attorney and we know that there have been comments obviously from mike shirrwin, acting u.s. attorney who said they're looking at everything. taking a look at every single part of this, including potential for people who are inciting some of this violence. so all of that is on the table for the u.s. attorney fe
