hello again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me. i am fredricka whitfield. happening now, the nation s capital on high alert. substantial police presence and crowd control measures in places, demonstrators in support of the mob which stormed the capitol january 6th gathered in washington today for a rally. it was just nine months ago we saw these terrifying scenes unfolding. hundreds of people scaling walls, breaking windows, storming hallways of the capitol, yelling to find nancy pelosi and to hang mike pence. lawmakers and the vice president ran to safety. capitol police horribly outnumbered and targeted by the mob. one officer died. more than 100 were hurt. some seriously. three other officers later died by suicide. today, the scene quite different. barriers, fencing surrounding the capitol. hundreds of officers in position should demonstrations grow violent. we have a team of correspondents covering every angle of this. let s begin with shimon prokupecz in the mid
