the capitol in an insurrection hoping to hold the presidency illegally for donald trump. that is tonight s last word. the 11th hour starts right now. right n ow good evening once again. i m ali velshi, they 351 of the biden administration. just an hour from now it will be exactly one year from the day we all watched in realtime as a mob march to the capitol. launched a siege on the building and then tried to stop the duly elected president from being formally declared the winner of the election. it was a scene most of us could never imagine happening in america. earlier today, one of the capitol police officers who took the brunt of the attack from supporters of donald trump summed up where things stand a year later. it was hard to believe that it s been a year but here we are still trying to figure out exactly what happened.
seizing the moment? it matters in terms of record history. to get a sense of what this was all about. was it a perfect storm of a failure of security? extremist coalescing around the capitol? or was it something greater? members of the far-right oath keepers and proud boys have been charged with conspiracy but say they were prepared for violence in the streets. and the fbi has yet to figure out who planted to pipe bombs at democratic and republican national headquarters. no breakthrough so far despite surveillance video showing the suspected that night on some capitol hill. why don t you know yet to place these bombs? they are covered from head to toe, right? they have a hoodie on, glasses, mask, gloves. fully clothed. the fbi has even compiled this map showing the bombing suspects moving movements that night. what do you see in the video? what are they doing? the person is walking on
as we mentioned, hundreds of rioters have already been charged for their actions on january 6th. but one of the largest and most complex investigations in fbi history is ongoing, as investigators work to identify people who stormed the capitol. nbc news correspondent pete williams has an inside look at the fbi s work. a year after the worst attack on the u.s. capitol since the british torched it 200 years ago, the fbi hasn t stopped working to identify rioters. this exclusive look shows agents and analysts combing through tens of thousands of photos and videos. investigators also used facial recognition software and cell phone records that allowed them to plot the movements of individual people inside the capitol, the largest use ever of that technique. it was all over the capitol grounds. steven is a member in charge of the washington field office and says a priority now is identifying rioters who attacked police, like this man,
planned, how is organized and how is directed. and how it happened. so all of the work that the january 6th committee is doing has to be done. the same time the justice department has to continue its prosecutions of the insurrectionists who committed these violent acts at the capitol and salted police officers and he filed the capitol, break and tons of laws on the process. and has to go beyond that has attorney general garland said today, he is certainly not shy of doing look at the plots in the planks and the orders. to see if there are criminal charges that need to be files on some of the higher ups. and then there also has to be a reckoning in terms of what almost happened.
breakthrough infections turning bad, it s really the elderly, the highly immunocompromised and people living in nursing homes. if you want to further reduce risk, reduce risk of infection, transmission and so on, the additional doses become especially important. as you see new variants emerge, there is a role, potentially, for additional doses of vaccine. but i think especially when you consider when you talk about mandates and requirements i think you have a higher bar to cross, so to speak, in terms of why you are recommending a dose of the vaccine. is it in the public s general interest or not? celine, good to see you as always, dr. celine gounder. coming up, an inside look into the fbi s january 6th investigation and their efforts to identify those who stormed the capitol, when the 11th hour continues. ur continues.
