Hello, im Laura Trevelyan in washington. Christian fraser is in london. Were about four hours into day one of the prosecution of donald j trump. Day two. Its been an afternoon of Text Book Legal Strategy Laying Argument upon argument, fact upon fact, example upon example. House managers aim to prove without a doubt that the former president should be convicted of inciting an insurrection. But as weve said before, its notjust a legal matter. There are politics at play. Its not a traditionaljury of ones peers, but a group of 100 democratically elected senators who will decide the outcome. And while the democrats have clearly come out with a strong presentation, its only day one. And its not even over yet. Anthony zurcher is in washington. Hejoins us now. I was he joins us now. I was struck by how House Managers have gone All The Way Back Tojuly of House Managers have gone all the way back to july of last year to point out that back then, donald trump was refusing to accept this prospect of the peaceful transfer of power. Yes. The peaceful transfer of power. Yes, i think that the peaceful transfer of power. Yes, i think that was the peaceful transfer of power. Yes, i think that was one the peaceful transfer of power. Yes, i think that was one of the peaceful transfer of power. Yes, i think that was one of the the peaceful transfer of power. Yes, i think that was one of the notable things i think that was one of the notable things we i think that was one of the notable things we saw today. This isntjust about things we saw today. This isntjust about what things we saw today. This isntjust about what donald trump said on the morning about what donald trump said on the morning of about what donald trump said on the morning ofjanuary 6th, what he said and did morning ofjanuary 6th, what he said and did during the insurrection on capitol and did during the insurrection on capitol hill. House Impeachment Managers are trying to put donald trump managers are trying to put donald trump is managers are trying to put donald trump is mcintyre questioning of the Democratic Electoral process, even before Democratic Electoral process, even before election day, on trial. And by extension, members of the Republican Party on trial as well, including Republican Party on trial as well, including some of the republican senators including some of the republican senators sitting in that chamber like josh senators sitting in that chamber like josh holly and ted cruz who echoed like josh holly and ted cruz who echoed a like josh holly and ted cruz who echoed a lot of trumps criticisms of the echoed a lot of trumps criticisms of the way echoed a lot of trumps criticisms of the way the election was conducted. It is a confrontational strategy conducted. It is a confrontational strategy but when they feel they have to strategy but when they feel they have to make because they see the challenge have to make because they see the Challenge Donald Trump has presented is more Challenge Donald Trump has presented is more thanjust that Challenge Donald Trump has presented is more than just that day Challenge Donald Trump has presented is more thanjust that day in january. Is more thanjust that day in january, but his entire attitude towards january, but his entire attitude towards the democratic process. And thats towards the democratic process. And thats the towards the democratic process. And thats the point they want to make. Its meticulous as well, anthony. There is so much they set out here, and they have a long ways to go, because donald trump at everything on social media so theyve gone back through the tweets. But whats interesting is they really drill down on the timeline, and notjust going back before the election and what happened to subsequent to the result, but those three and a half hours when donald trump is in the white house and is watching the right unfold. This white house and is watching the right unfold white house and is watching the riaht unfold. ~ ,. , right unfold. As you mention, this is almost a right unfold. As you mention, this is almost a trial right unfold. As you mention, this is almost a trial by right unfold. As you mention, this is almost a trial by tweet, right unfold. As you mention, this is almost a trial by tweet, not right unfold. As you mention, this is almost a trial by tweet, notjust is almost a trial by tweet, not just the tweets is almost a trial by tweet, not just the tweets the day of but over the course the tweets the day of but over the course of the tweets the day of but over the course of the past six months. But i think course of the past six months. But i think the course of the past six months. But i think the one tweet that they have really think the one tweet that they have really focused on, the one they view as the really focused on, the one they view as the most really focused on, the one they view as the most incriminating was the one that as the most incriminating was the one that happened as you mentioned while one that happened as you mentioned white the one that happened as you mentioned while the riots were taking place on capitol while the riots were taking place on capitol hill, where donald trump tweeted. Capitol hill, where donald trump tweeted, these are the kind of things tweeted, these are the kind of things that happen when an election is stolen things that happen when an election is stolen. This is what patriots do. Rememher is stolen. This is what patriots do. Remember this day. And in his opening remember this day. And in his opening arguments today, jamie raskin opening arguments today, jamie raskin pointed towards that tweet and said raskin pointed towards that tweet and said donald trump wasnt saying or member and said donald trump wasnt saying or member this day is a day of tragedy, or member this day is a day of tragedy, but celebrating what was happening on capitol hill while this was taking place Rememberthis Day. Was taking place Rememberthis Day so was taking place Rememberthis Day. So looking at the past few days of their day. So looking at the past few days of their presentation, they feel that tweet encapsulates Donald Trumps that tweet encapsulates Donald Trumps attitude towards what was happening in the fact that even though happening in the fact that even though there were peoples lives at risk, people lost their lives, donald risk, people lost their lives, donald trump saw the protests that turned donald trump saw the protests that turned violent as something to be proud turned violent as something to be proud of turned violent as something to be roud of. �. , turned violent as something to be roud of. , , turned violent as something to be roudof. , , proud of. Anthony, stay with us, we are in a recess proud of. Anthony, stay with us, we are in a recess at proud of. Anthony, stay with us, we are in a recess at the proud of. Anthony, stay with us, we are in a recess at the moment proud of. Anthony, stay with us, we are in a recess at the moment so i are in a recess at the moment so there is a 15 minute break so youre not missing any of the trial, but we will take you that dumb her there. Lets go to anthony scaramucci, former White House Communications director. I heard senator dick durbin saying earlier today that it was essential to put all of this on the record, that the verdict of the senate was immaterial what was required was a record of this for posterity. Can you do that effectivelyjust by pulling in tweets . Would you expect the House Managers to have called a witness . ~ ~ � , the House Managers to have called a witness . ~ , � ,. , witness . Well, i think itll be hard for them to witness . Well, i think itll be hard for them to call witness . Well, i think itll be hard for them to call witnesses witness . Well, i think itll be hard| for them to call witnesses because of the for them to call witnesses because of the politics surrounding the case of the politics surrounding the case so of the politics surrounding the case. So unfortunately, despite the idealism case. So unfortunately, despite the idealism and suppose it impartiality, there isnt any impartiality. So he will likely be acquitted, but what i think the sender acquitted, but what i think the sender is acquitted, but what i think the sender is saying is it is very important sender is saying is it is very important for the American People in the world important for the American People in the world that we lay out this case for sedition, the fact that the american for sedition, the fact that the american president was a domestic terrorist american president was a domestic terrorist and a Terrorist Organiser in the terrorist and a Terrorist Organiser in the United States. So we are doing in the United States. So we are doing that for posterity, but also for our doing that for posterity, but also for our contemporary citizens because for our contemporary citizens because we have to normalise the politics because we have to normalise the politics of because we have to normalise the politics of our society. If there is a radical politics of our society. If there is a Radical Fringe in the Republican Party a Radical Fringe in the Republican Party that a Radical Fringe in the Republican Party that wants to stay with donald trump, party that wants to stay with donald trump, thats fine. Maybe its 80 of that trump, thats fine. Maybe its 80 of that party, but you have to remember that party only represents 30 of remember that party only represents 30 of the remember that party only represents 30 of the voter registration. So weve 30 of the voter registration. So weve got 30 of the voter registration. So weve got it down to 24 now, thats roughly weve got it down to 24 now, thats roughly what trump is my current approval roughly what trump is my current Approval Rating is, and we need to push Approval Rating is, and we need to push harder Approval Rating is, and we need to push harder on that. I would say senator push harder on that. I would say Senator Durbin is correct and weirdly, Senator Durbin is correct and weirdly, donald trump is a great unitier weirdly, donald trump is a great unifier weirdly, donald trump is a great unifier he weirdly, donald trump is a great unifier he just happens to be unifying unifier he just happens to be unifying all of us against him. Sol think unifying all of us against him. Sol think it unifying all of us against him. Sol think it is unifying all of us against him. Sol think it is very important that the facts think it is very important that the facts are think it is very important that the facts are elucidated here. As facts are elucidated here. Is Impeachment Managers are making the case that donald trump ran out of nonviolent options to stay out of power, and thats how we got to january 6th. Do you think that is a compelling case that will result in 17 republican senators voting to convict . ~. ,. , convict . While the facts are certainly convict . While the facts are certainly there convict . While the facts are certainly there to convict . While the facts are certainly there to convict i convict . While the facts are certainly there to convict donald trumo certainly there to convict donald trumo its certainly there to convict donald trump. Its notjust the words certainly there to convict donald trump. Its not just the words that were trump. Its not just the words that were spoken Onjanuary 6th, but trump. Its not just the words that were spoken on january 6th, but the words were spoken on january 6th, but the words that were spoken on january 6th, but the words that go back to july as was referenced in the last segment, and it was referenced in the last segment, and it was the referenced in the last segment, and it was the words that started after november three. It was the words that started after novemberthree. So it was the words that started after november three. So you can trace a direct november three. So you can trace a direct line november three. So you can trace a direct line to november three. So you can trace a direct line to donald trump, to use a American Direct line to donald trump, to use a american legal term, he is the but for causation a american legal term, he is the but for causation for that violence. Hes for causation for that violence. Hes also for causation for that violence. Hes also the approximate because of that violence, and he violated his oath that violence, and he violated his oath to that violence, and he violated his oath to the that violence, and he violated his oath to the constitution because he rejected oath to the constitution because he rejected a oath to the constitution because he rejected a peaceful transfer of power rejected a peaceful transfer of power after a lawful and free election power after a lawful and free election was certified by all 50 States Election was certified by all 50 states. So when you put all of that into the states. So when you put all of that into the conviction salad, if you will, into the conviction salad, if you will, he into the conviction salad, if you will, he deserves to be convicted. He wont will, he deserves to be convicted. He wont be, of course, because of political he wont be, of course, because of political expediency and cowardice in the political expediency and cowardice in the Republican Party. But i think all that in the Republican Party. But i think all that stuff is there, all the elements are there for that conviction. All elements are there for that conviction. Elements are there for that conviction. � ,. , � conviction. All the elements, youre ri. Ht. And conviction. All the elements, youre right and it conviction. All the elements, youre right. And it goes conviction. All the elements, youre right. And it goes all conviction. All the elements, youre right. And it goes all the conviction. All the elements, youre right. And it goes all the way conviction. All the elements, youre right. And it goes all the way back, | right. And it goes all the way back, well before the november three election, it goes right the way back to when he was campaigning, the way he prepared, his supporters for what might happen. I want to take you to a clip that we had from one of the House Managers who spelled what was going on for months. Just like to build a fire, it doesnt just start with the flames. Donald trump, for months and months, assembled the tinder, the kindling, threw on logs for fuel to have his supporters believe that the only way their victory would be lost was if it was stolen. So that way, donald trump was ready, if he lost the election, to light the match. It is true, just as we look at the senators coming back, it is true that mr trump couldve very easily told his supporters to the violence and stand down. Mi told his supporters to the violence and stand down. Told his supporters to the violence and stand down. All he had to do was acce t the and stand down. All he had to do was accept the election and stand down. All he had to do was accept the election and and stand down. All he had to do was accept the election and concede and stand down. All he had to do was accept the election and concede to i accept the election and concede to the vice accept the election and concede to the Vice President , now President Biden the Vice President , now President Biden you the Vice President , now President Biden. You would never have had those biden. You would never have had those five biden. You would never have had those five peoples lives lost, they would those five peoples lives lost, they would still those five peoples lives lost, they would still be with us. Ijust want to say would still be with us. Ijust want to say something, eric and i know each to say something, eric and i know each other to say something, eric and i know each other well that goes back to 2016 each other well that goes back to 2016 he each other well that goes back to 2016.

He was planning to say that the 2016 election was fraudulent and that it the 2016 election was fraudulent and that it was the 2016 election was fraudulent and that it was stolen from him. So he ust that it was stolen from him. So he just repurposed that playbook for 2020 just repurposed that playbook for 2020 so just repurposed that playbook for 2020. So its a Nightmare Scenario for america. 2020. So its a Nightmare Scenario foramerica, but 2020. So its a Nightmare Scenario for america, but the good fortune is most for america, but the good fortune is most of for america, but the good fortune is most of the for america, but the good fortune is most of the American People are on to him.

Whats happening is the house Impeachment Managers are showing videos which details exactly the moment Trump Supporters storm to the us Capitol Building on january 6th. All day today, house Impeachment Managers have been trying to build the case that donald trump, going all the way back to july of last year when he refused to accept the peaceful transition of power, the idea of it in an interview, that he had been egging his supporters on egging them on for this moment atjanuary 6th. And i should apologise to our viewers for the explicit nature of the violent scenes. Thats why weve had to cut away. We will go back now to the pictures, but we will keep the sound down. Supporters of President Trump storming the us capitol. Theres a model of the Capitol Building below on the screen there, so house Impeachment Managers are juxtaposing whats happening with the model so you can understand exactly how. In just a moment we will hear from the House Impeachment Manager stacy plaskett. Shes laying out this afternoon the democrats case Popular Security footage that has not been made public before, what that same breach look like from the outside. , , , outside. Now because this is Security Footage, outside. Now because this is Security Footage, there i outside. Now because this is Security Footage, there is i outside. Now because this is Security Footage, there is no| outside. Now because this is Security Footage, there is no sound. Note as the video begins, we are seeing the inside view as the mob approaches from outside and beats the windows and doors. You can see that the rioters first break the window with the wooden beam you saw previously, and a lone Police Officer inside responds and begins to spray the first man who enters, but is quickly overwhelmed. I want you to Pay Attention to the first group of the assailants as they break into the building. The second man is wearing full tactical body armour and carrying a baseball bat. Others are carrying riot shields. Among this group are members of the proud boys some of them like dominic mazzola, who was recently indicted on federal conspiracy charges, we will discuss later. You can watch where theyre coming on our model, as well. When i first saw this model, which was created for this, i thought back to september 11. I know a lot of you senators were here. Some of you might have been members on the house side. I was also here on september 11 as a staffer at that time. My office was on the west front of the capitol. I worked office was on the west front of the capitol. Iworked in office was on the west front of the capitol. I worked in the capitol, and i was on the house side. This year is 20 years since the attacks of september 11. In almost every day, i rememberthat of september 11. In almost every day, i remember that 1111 of september 11. In almost every day, i remember that 111 americans gave their lives to stop the plane that was headed to this Capitol Building. Ithank that was headed to this Capitol Building. I thank them every day for saving my life and the lives of so many others. Those americans sacrificed their lives for love of country, honour, duty all the things that america means. The capitol stands because of people like that. This capitol that was conceived by our founding fathers, that was built by slaves, that remains through the sacrifice of servicemen and women around the world. And when i think of that and i think of these insurgents, these images incited by our own president of the United States, attacking this capital back capitol to stop the certification of an election our democracy, our republic. At the same time that that breach happened at this capitol, at a proximally 2 13pm just one floor up, while senator lyford was speaking on the senate floor, senator grassley, who had taken over for vice senate floor, senator grassley, who had taken overfor Vice President pence, called an unscheduled immediate recess of the senate.

In this Security Footage, you can see Officer Goodman running to respond to the Initial Breach. Officer goodman passes senator mitt romney and directs him to turn around in order to get to safety. On the first floor just beneath them, the mob had already started to search for the senate chamber. Officer goodman made his way down to the first floor, where he encountered the same insurrectionist we just saw breach the capitol. In this video, we can see the rioters search towards Officer Goodman recall that the writers are in red and Officer Goodman in this model is in blue. Watch Officer Goodman who backs up the stairs. Yelling this is officer Eugene Goodman here, we are watching him there being pursued by the mob. This is the moment where he directs the mob away actually from where us senators are, dramatic moments at the hearing. Lode dramatic moments at the hearing. Know from the earlier video that is not true, the second assailant through that breach was the one carrying a metal baseball bat. We know there were other weapons there that day. Did you hear the other shouts, we are here for you, he is one person, we are thousands. And where do they count the votes . They were coming at the urging of donald trump to keep congress, a separate branch of government from certifying the results of a president ial election. As the rioters reached the top of the stairs, they were within 100 feet of where the Vice President was sheltering with his family. And they were just eight feet away from one of the doors to this chamber. Where many of you remained at that time. I also want to show you a different angle from the Security Footage of Officer Goodman. This video is on the second floor of the senate wing of the capital. The red dot as you will recall it represents the insurrectionist. The blue dot is Officer Goodman who led the mob away from the chamberjust minutes earlier. On the left hand side of the video come inside the hallway is the door to the senate chamber. Watch how Officer Goodman provokes the rioters and purposely draws them away from the door to the Senate Chambers and towards the other officers waiting down the hall. The writer seen carrying a baseball bat in this video is the same one we sought moments ago breaching the window on the first floor rioter. While all of this was going on, Vice President pentz was still in the room near the senate chamber. It was not until 226 that he was evacuated to a secure location. Vice president pence. This mexico to video shows that evacuation. His movements are depicted by the orange dot and our model. This next video.

You can see Vice President pence it is family quickly moved down the stairs. The Vice President turned around briefly as he is headed down. As pence was being evacuated to my rioters starting to spread throughout the capital. Those inside help other rioters to break into doors in several locations around this entire building. And the mob was looking for a Vice President mike pence because of his patriotism, because the Vice President had refused to do what the president demanded and overturn the Election Results. During the assault on the capital, extremists reportedly coordinated online and discussed how they could hunt down the Vice President. Joy and the capital reported they heard and the capital reported they heard a rioters say they were looking 4p in order to execute him. Looking for it mike pence. Trump supporters had erected a gallows on the line in front of the Capitol Building, and of rioters and chanted hang mike pence as they sit in The Open Door at the Capitol Building. You can hear the Security Alarm from the door in the background. You can hear the mob calling for the death of the Vice President of the United States.

Several insurrectionist describe what they had planned to do if they encountered the Vice President or other lot makers. One of them, dominic mazzola, also known as bascom is a member of the proud boys as we discussed. He came to the capital Onjanuary Six deadly capital on january six deadly intentions. Capital Onjanuary Six deadly intentions. Also known as spasms. He commandeered a police shield, usedit he commandeered a police shield, used it to smash a glass window come into the capital come and pave the way for dozens of insurrectionist. As you recall from an earlier video, he was one of the first wave of rioters. He reached the building. On the left, you can see a screenshot from the video of the break we showed earlier. On the right, you can see him in the mob chase Capitol Police officers Eugene Goodman through the building. He is the man in the centre of the photo with the graybeard. He has since been charged with eight federal crimes for his conduct related to january six. According to an fbi agents affidavit, submitted to the court, the group that was with him during the group that was with him during the second of the capital confirmed that they were out to murder anybody they got their hands on. Heres what the said, and i quote, other members of the group talked about things they had done that day, and they said that any one they got their hands on they wouldve killed them including nancy pelosi and they would kill the Vice President mike pence if given the chance. They were talking about assassinating the Vice President of the United States. During the course of the attack, the Vice President never left the capital, remained locked down with his family, inside the building. Remember that. As you think about these images and the sounds of the attack. The Vice President come our second in command, it was always at the centre of it. Vice president mike pence was threatened with death by the president s supporters because he rejected President Trumps demands that he overturn the election. The mob also went after speaker the house come home alongside the Vice President was presiding over the joint session of the certification in the House Chamber. The chilling evidence shows that Onjanuary Six, armed and organised Insurrectionist Train their sites and speaker nancy pelosi. They sought out the Speaker Of The House on the floor and in her office and publicly declare their intent to harm or kill her. They ransacked her office and terrorised her staff. And they did it because it donald trump sent them on this mission. As the insurrectionist got closer, Capitol Police rushed the speaker from the house floor at 2 15pm, mere minutes after the capital was first preached. They recognised immediately that she was in danger. The speaker was notjust rushed from the floor, the Capital Police theme the threat is so dangerous, they evacuated her entirely from the capitol complex. Brushing her to a secure off site location. The insurrectionist intent to murder the speaker the house is well documented, and charging documents that are now available. We know from the rioters themselves that if they had found Speaker Pelosi, they wouldve killed her. I have already discussed proud boys member Dominic Pezzola who has since been charged with eight federal crimes for his conduct and january six. As you will have a call them according to the fbi agents affidavit, submitted to the court, the group he attacked the capital with confirm that anybody they got their hands on, they would have killed. Including nancy pelosi. William calhoun, a lawyerfrom georgia, also participated in the insurrection that day. He too has been charged for his actions. This insurrection detailed his criminal activity at the capital online. Calhoun wrote about his involvement on his own facebook page. Here is the post. He stated. Crazy nancy. That is trumps nickname for the speaker the house. Then he explains that he and the group only abandoned their claim to the Speakers Office when a swat team showed up. He writes then a swat team showed. Retreated, hostile, take over. He is using military terms. The mob continued to look for Speaker Pelosi throughout the time that occupied the capital, including innovating her offices. Watch now how the mob searches for Speaker Pelosis office, which is marked in red. In the House Chamber itself. Are you, nancy . We are looking for you are you, nancy . We are looking for you where are you, nancy . We are looking for you where are are you, nancy . We are looking for you where are you. Are you, nancy . We are looking for you where are you. Nancy .

During the siege, the speakers staff to cover in her office. Hiding in fearfor their lives staff to cover in her office. Hiding in fear for their lives for hours as rioters broke in and ransacked her office, as the rioters were breaking into the capital, her staff retreated into an interior room, eight of them gathered in a Conference Room. About the same time, Capitol Police announced that the capital had been breached and Speaker Pelosi staff heeded the call to shelter in place. On our model, you can see the rioters in the rotunda in red and the Speakers Office again in orange. This is a Security Video so there is no sound. As you can see here, the staff moves from their offices through the halls and then enters a door on the right hand side. That is the outer door of a Conference Room, which also has an inner door that they barricaded with furniture. The staff and then head under a Conference Room table and that in the inner room. This is the last staff are going in and then barricading themselves and the side of the inner office. The last staff there. After just seven minutes of them barricading themselves, and the last staff are entering the door on the right, a group of rioters into the hallway outside and once inside, the rioters have free reign in the Speaker Of The Houses offices. In this Security Video, Pay Attention to the door that we sought those staffers going into in leading into. We saw those staffers. One of the rioters you can see is throwing him self against the door three times until he breaks open that outer door. Luckily, when faced with the inner door, he moves on. Another writer later tried, unsuccessfully, to break through that inner door. At this point, the mob had already broken into the speakers formal Conference Room that is in the back of the hall at the top of the video. I want to play some audio we have of the speakers staff with the rioters at the door that day. You can hear the terror and their voice as they describe what is happening to them as they are barricaded in the Conference Room. Please listen carefully. The staff is whispering into a phone as he hides from the rioters that are outside of the door. You can hear the pounding in the background as that staffer is speaking. One of the staffers explained later that they could hear the mob going through her offices to my breaking down the door, and yelling where are you, nancy . Mob also pillaged and vandalized the Speakers Office and documented their crimes on social media. They extol objects, desecrated the office of the speaker of the House Of Representatives of the United States. They stole objects. As you can see, they broke down door, they also shattered a mirror. At 2 50 p m. , several rioters, including Richard Barnett entered a Speaker Pelosis office. The world is all now too familiar with the images from the slides. If you look closely however at the now infamous pictures of barnett with his feet on the desk, you might see something that you didnt notice previously. It is a better look. As this photo highlights, he is carrying a stun gun tucked into his waistband. The fbi identified the device is a 950,000 volt stun gun a walking stick. The weapon could caused serious pain and incapacitated anyone barnett had used it against. Richard barnett bragged about his actions. He was proud of the way he desecrated the Speaker Of The Houses office. He left a note. Here is barnett and his own words. I didnt steal it. Weve had to mute the language here because this is explicit and threatening violence. Back to the House Impeachment Manager. Trumps Mob Ransacked House Impeachment Manager. Trumps Mob Ransacked the House Impeachment Manager. Trumps Mob Ransacked the speaker House Impeachment Manager. Trumps Mob Ransacked the speaker the House Impeachment Manager. Trumps Mob Ransacked the speaker the housel Mob Ransacked the speaker the house s office. They terrorised her staff. Again, that is a mob that was sent by the president of United States to stop the certification of an election. The Vice President , the Speaker Of The House, the first and second end aligned to the presidency, were performing their constitutional duties, presiding over the election certification, and they were put in danger. Because President Trump put his own desires, his own need for power over his duty to the constitution and our democratic process. President trump put a target on his their back, and his mob broke into the capital to hunt them down. Put a target on their back. That is stacey plaskett, the House Impeachment Manager there, who presented dramatic never before seen footage of the events of january the 6th. At and now she is handing over to one of her colleagues, one of the other house Impeachment Managers who will continue making the case against donaldj trump, who has been impeached for an incitement to insurrection on january the 6th. Impeached for an incitement to Insurrection Onjanuary the 6th. We are just waiting now for their next House Impeachment Manager to carry on with the case, extremely dramatic scenes there in the capital itself is the scene of the crime. Senators in the chamber who are the jurors who live through that day. Shortly after two p m. , the Capital Police and the metropolitan police were overwhelmed by President Trumps ma. Capitol police. Per mentors were broken, the capital have been breached. President trumps mob. Those officers kept fighting back for hours and hours to hold the line. They fought to the been the Capitol Building in all of us in it. To defend. They were not there just to protect us. And they did. And our staff. And the custodial staff. In other people who work so hard in this building. They were there to protect the votes of the American People that were being counted that day. I will show you more later about what that day was like for those brave officers. But first, lets go back to what was happening where manager plaskett left off in the House Chamber. Rioters who entered the building to the Senate Quickly spread out through the capital. Many headed towards the house and Senate Chambers. After Speaker Pelosi was ushered out, Chairman Mcgovern was presiding in the house. Attempting to keep the Counting Process going. On our phones, members were receiving security updates. And watching social media to see the horror that was going on outside. We never thought it would make its way in. By 2 25 p m. , rioters who are already in the building opened the east side doors of the Capitol Rotunda to let more the mob in. They quickly flitted through the doors overwhelming the officers. This is new Security Footage of those doors and asked before, the mob is identified with the red dot on the model of the capital. If you model of the capital. If identified with the red dot on the model of the capital. If you look closely, youll see the first person to the door is holding a trump flag. At the same time, just one floor below, the mob violently pushed through a line of capital Police Officers and overtook the area. We all know that area and the capital is the crypt, this is directly beneath the rotunda at the centre of the capital. Centre of the capitol. Crowd yells. Inside the house and chamber, crowd yells.

But we could hear them, the Security Footage which does not have sound shows a close up of trumps mob as they move towards the second floor the House Chamber to stop the counting of votes.

Goodbye to viewers in the uk. You are now watching. Tonight at ten the Cladding Crisis the government promises more than 5. 5 billion to help make high rise flats safe, but campaigners say its too little too late. Flammable cladding is being removed but there are still at least 700,000 People Living in blocks covered with dangerous material. Weve chosen to do this because we have immense sympathy for the leaseholders affected and, as a matter of basic public safety, we have to get these unsafe materials off buildings as quickly as possible. Ive had people in tears, people distraught, and they dont know how they will see an end to this. The amount of money theyve released is not enough. It has taken the government too long to find solutions. Also on the programme tonight dont think of booking a holiday here or abroad, says
