the africa cup of nations kicks off tomorrow, with hosts cameroon taking on burkino faso. but the build—up to the match has not been straightforward for burkino faso, after they found out a handful of players and a coach had tested positive for covid—19 and are now not available to be involved in the opening match. translation: we waited all day. at the beginning. _ translation: we waited all day. at the beginning. it _ translation: we waited all day. at the beginning, it was _ translation: we waited all day. at the beginning, it was in _ translation: we waited all day. at the beginning, it was in the - translation: we waited all day. at the beginning, it was in the morning| the beginning, it was in the morning that we had to pass these tests. then it was postponed to the afternoon. finally it was during the night that we did the tests — and they were not pcr tests, but antigenic lateral flow tests. this morning we were told that some players are positive mama and therefore they cannot participate in tomorrow's game. i think it is a scandal. we cannot and learn the day before game that the players who are potential starters of team cannot start the game 2a hours before the match. it is unacceptable for us. causing problems for sports across the world. one of britain's biggest medal hopes at next month's winter olympics has shown just why there are such high hopes for her. charlotte bankes won the world cup snowboard cross race in russia — it's her second world cup win of the season, following her previous victory in austria and her third podium overall. she is the reigning world champion in the event. and finally — how much dedication would you show to get into work? well, many of us wouldn't probably go as far as england wicketkeeper sam billings. with jonny bairstow and jos buttler both doubts for the fifth ashes test, billings, who had been playing in queensland with the sydney thunder, was called up to the squad. but, instead of a 90—minute flight from brisbane to sydney, covid—i9 meant billings had to drive more than 500 miles down the east coast of australia to join up with his team—mates. absolute dedication! that's all from sportsday. next on bbc news, ros atkins looks at the capitol hill riot one year on. you all know what happened in washington onjanuary the 6th last year. we all watched. the storming of the capitol shocked america — it shocked the world. this is the story of what happened that day, and what has happened since. at the heart of the violence, in the home of america's democracy, was a belief that that democracy wasn't working. i believe this election was stolen... ..byjoe biden and, and, erm... ..his, eh... ..democratic friends. the belief the election was stolen was widespread among republican supporters. it still is. and the idea has been relentlessly pushed by donald trump. before the election he predicted it would be rigged, and once he'd lost, he carried on. this is a case where they're trying to steal an election. _ they're trying to rig an election. and we can't let that happen. lest there is any doubt, this isn't true. there's no evidence of widespread electoral fraud, no evidence that fraud affected who won. but a lack of evidence wasn't stopping the president or his supporters. and so, when donald trump called on people to head to washington onjanuary the 6th, they did, in their thousands. this was the day congress would certify the result. we now know this was also the day some trump supporters would try and stop that from happening. at around noon, donald trump addressed a rally near the white house. and we fight, we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you're not. going to have a country any more. thousands of trump supporters responded by walking to the capitol building. some were clear on their intentions. freedom! charge the capitol! at around 2pm, the crowd turned violent. the storming of the capitol had begun. and as the attack developed, police officers defended the locked down debating chambers, while the politicians took cover. protesters assaulted officers with pipes and bars. the office of house speaker nancy pelosi was ransacked, and vice president mike pence, who was overseeing the certification ofjoe biden�*s victory, was rushed out of the building. while all of this was happening, there was silence from the president. eventually, hours after the attack began, donald trump did release a video. this was a fraudulent election. but we can't play into - the hands of these people. we have to have peace. so go home. we love you, you're very special. in time, they did go home — but the attack would claim five lives, scores of police officers were injured, there was millions of dollars�* worth of damage, and many people were clear who was responsible. this is one republican strategist. this is perhaps the worst day in america since 9/11. and i don't use that kind of rhetoric lightly. all of this was preventable from the beginning. and so, the president does bear significant — significant — blame for this. in time, the house of representatives charged mr trump with incitement of insurrection. this made him the only president in us history to be impeached twice. thejurors in this impeachment trial were america's senators — and already, many from the president's own party had condemned him. there's no question, none. that president trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. but in the end, enough republican senators chose not to vote for a conviction. that though would not be the only trial connected to january the 6th. thejustice department had begun its own investigations. in the past year, over 700 people have been arrested and charged. more than 70 have already been sentenced. and the us attorney general says the work isn't done. the actions we have taken thus far will not be our last. thejustice department remains committed to holding alljanuary 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law. there is a criticism of the department ofjustice though. that it's focused on the rioters themselves, and less on those who may have organised, funded, or incited them. the department refutes that criticism. and also, it's not the only source of scrutiny of these events. in the aftermath of january the 6th, republicans and democrats in congress called for an independent investigation. for example, senator lindsey graham, a staunch trump supporter, told fox news... but a proposal for exactly that was blocked by the republicans. instead, the democratic majority in the house of representatives, the lower house, set up a committee comprised of seven democrats and two republicans. it began hearing testimony injuly, and its vice chair is the republican, and fierce trump critic, liz cheney. if those responsible are not held accountable, and if congress does not act responsibly, this will remain a cancer on our constitutional republic. well, sincejuly, hundreds of people have been interviewed, in private. most agreed to talk, some had to be subpoenaed. and two key people refused to take part. the first was steve bannon, donald trump's former presidential adviser. he was out of the white house long before january the 6th, but not out of politics. and in his podcast, the day before the attack, he said... for this, and for other reasons too, the january 6th committee wanted to talk to him. but steve bannon didn't want to talk — and has now been charged with criminal contempt of congress. the committee's democratic chair explained why. no—one in this country, no matter how wealthy, or how powerful, is above the law. left unaddressed, this defiance may encourage others to follow mr bannon down the same path. to which steve bannon has said this. if the administrative state wants to take me on, bring it, - i because we're here to fight thisl and we're going to go on offence. you stand by, you see how we're going to go on offence, 0k? - the second person to defy the committee subpoena was president trump's former chief of staff, mark meadows. he, too, has been found in contempt of congress and may also face criminal charges. mr meadows had handed over thousands of pages of records, but then refused to cooperate further. but even that material was revelatory. we saw text messages he'd received during the attack. fox news host laura ingraham wrote... and there was also a message from the president's son, read out by liz cheney. donald trumertexted, again and again, urging action by the president. "we need an oval office address. he has to lead now. it has gone too far and gotten out of hand." other messages were received the day before the attack. fox news host sean hannity said... you could argue he was right to be concerned. and the committee is requesting an interview with mr hannity. but there's one key figure whose testimony and evidence remains elusive. former president trump has perhaps, unsurprisingly, refused to cooperate. he's taken legal action to block the release of official white house communication records. and these delays mean it's not certain the committee will finish its work before the mid—term elections in november. and the politics of this remain farfrom predictable. while many condemned what happened onjanuary the 6th, the idea that underpinned it remains. a year on from the storming of the capitol, polls show two thirds of republicans believe voter fraud helped joe biden to win. given that that didn't happen, that raises profound questions about one of the two main parties in the world's most high—profile democracy. and the democrats argue harm is already being done. the root cause of january 6th, is still with us today. it is the big lie, pushed by donald trump, that is undermining faith in our political system. but for all this criticism, for all the convictions of those involved in the riot, donald trump remains the dominant political figure in the republican party. and it remains the case that he believes america's democracy is rigged — as do his supporters. if you believed that, you'd be curious, you'd be outraged. —— furious. and so the emotion that drove january the 6th remains. and there's no reason to think it won't manifest itself again. good evening. it was a miserable start of the weekend, lots of rain around first thing, accompanied by squally wins, as wealth stops over those of you up and offer early, you were probably greeted to sites like this. however, as the day went on, it certainly got better for most of us. the heavy rain easing east, and then behind we still had some blustery winds, plenty of squally showers — but also for some, some sunshine, so it meant brighter skies for county down at times this afternoon. some of those showers though were quite heavy with hail and thunder. and they will turn increasingly wintry as we go through the evening and overnight, and the temperatures fall away. as skies continue to clear, it will be quite a chilly night to come, as well. in rural areas, we could actually see loosing the figures. so there will be further snow flurries was showers into the far northwest, i see stretches first thing, a touch of frost, as well. but sunday will certainly be a better start of the day, lots of sunshine to greet us first thing, and for many it'll stay like that for the rest of the day. those showers to the far north and west will gradually drift out of scotland over the peaks and the pennines, but elsewhere it stays dry and sunny. a little bit cooler with brisket northwesterly winds slowly easing, temperatures widely between five and eight celsius. perhaps slightly milder conditions into the west because of a weather front that will arrive. so on monday that'll bring strong winds to the north and west of scotland and northern ireland. quite a lot out towards the west, the best of brighter weather in eastern areas. here we will see temperatures between 7—8 c, milder than where we have the rain and cloudy. high pressure set to build from tuesday onwards and it will stay with us for the rest of the week. that will quiet the weather story down, meaning of be largely fine and dry. high—pressure this time of year can come with the risk of this. yes, morning fog could be an issue, some of it dents and places and some of it may well lift to low cloud. so don't expect too much and a way of sunshine if that happens. but in comparison to the weather we've seen so far this january, it will be largely dry, there will be some sunshine but the fog could have an impact — and if that happens, it could be chilly at times. take care. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 7pm... more than 150,000 people in the uk have now died within 28 days of a positive covid test — since the pandemic began. ijust said to him, hurry up and get better. he said, i am trying. that is the last time i spoke to him. lawyers for novak djokavic claim he was given a vaccine exemption to enter australia, because he'd had a recent covid infection. thousands more flat—owners will be spared the expense of replacing unsafe cladding — under new government plans to make developers offer four—billion pounds towards the costs. nasa says the james webb space telescope has fully deployed in space, after unfolding its final mirror panels.
