The election results
Shortly before the caches
President Trump addressed his supporters
Near the White House
Telling them that he would
Never accept

That was indeed the message delivered
From the White House

And we're probably not going to be cheering
So much for
Some of them
Because you're never
Take back our country with weakness
You have to show strength
When you have to be strong
Many of his supporters
Needing little encouragement
To join the fight
We're here to support you know if
Violence happens like it happens but we're not going
Going to start it you know we're just like here to defend herself
Yeah I support Trump freedom is paid for with blood
And tyranny always masquerades
Is that a safety in
Security and that's what we're fighting again
Right now
Outside the capitol
The outer ring of secure
Dirty hit the bridge
The crowd to take a double trumpet is what
I think we're taking the fight
To the heart of American democracy
They were literally banging on the doors of Congress
And then
Some Trump supporters
Manage to get inside
They were on the moon during the Capitol building
Pull up never dealt with anything like this
These pictures appear to show woman protesta

Earlier the Republican Senate leader for so long a lord Lieutenant of the president
Turned on him
With this withering assessment
This election were overturned
By mere allegation
From the losing
Sade
Our democracy would ever a death spiral
We'd never see the whole nation
Except
Election again
Every four years will be a Scramble for power
I didn't call
And the vice president
Who's officiating open this joint session
I just shown Donald Trump near slavish loyalty also said
It was not his role
Toy the 10th at the attic to the people
My oath to support and defend the Constitution
Constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to decide which electoral votes should be counted
I do wedding tone
The presidency belongs to the people
Unto them alone
And the president-elect is going on television to Walnut American democracy
Is on the unprecedented the soul
Auntie may disappear
I call on President Trump
Go on national television now
To fulfill his own
Defend the Constitution
Tution
And demand an end to this Siege
Storm the cat
To smash windows
Occupy office
The floor of the United States Senate
Rummaging through desk
On the capital on the House of Representative
Threatening the safety of duly elected officials
It's not protest
It's insurrection
Donald Trump has spoken
He called on his supporters to stand down
The combination
That was not 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
The chamber has emptied democracy put on hold
Outside they was scaling the ramparts
The map for the Moment In Charge believing they have the right to overthrow the will of the people
Tonight The Shining City on the hill
As America likes to describe itself feels as though the life of democracy
Is flickering Dangerously
Jon sopel BBC News
Washington
Jones report that would be talking to him in a short while but these are the images now
In Washington DC tonight the president's message
Has been delivered he's told people to go home
Some people have
But as we can see there are plenty of people still around
The Capitol Hill
I still wanting to make that protest
Still wanting to urge members of congress not
To rectify
The election results despite by the way
Republican leaders on Capitol Hill saying
But these protests is wrong
So those are the live images
What I'd like to do now is bringing two colleagues one of them
Who's the outside Captain Hill that are Lima peru21
Inside who's loboda Seco become to level in a second Battalion Festival could you bring
What's up today what's happening there and have the police drafted in more help by now
Well that was a low for an hour or so they were hundreds of protest so all the way up the steps of the building
The capital
It was a long just as you're watching that to report
In the last few minutes the police finally started to use sound bombs
I'm so full of tear gas and if you might be able to make out that they've cleared one level
Of the steps outside to the Capitol Building still lots of people still here
I was trying to get a sense that we speaking to several of the people who
Show me the building earlier
Whether this was something that was planned and actually they said they were inspired
By the words of the president spoke earlier in the day to take back their country
I'm so they March down here but they saw that there was so little security they said
Play felt it was easy to overwhelm that security and they found themselves inside the building they started knocking on doors
How did beneplan
But they said they will continue to make their presence felt until
The election result they say
It is overturned
In a bid to do what to the male follow
Is telling them to do we just to take back that country this is what
They translate that to be
Eileen
Thank you very much and still the action
Ongoing is a Lima loser telling us that we still hear music in the background
Pisco inside the building
Angela Bowes that Forest
Yubanet old wallet
Bombay Wok to you
Made of the scenes we saw earlier on and what's going on there right now I can see that you're going to
Acquired the area for the moment but what's going on
Oh here we've been on lockdown hair and Lisa Capitol Buildings for almost 4 hours now many of the p
People that I'm with Ashley working these buildings they worked in the House of Representatives I was speaking to
Couple of women who have been watching these scenes playing out on the TV that she work has sang to me
Set the level of disc
Switch specs
Full the Democratic institutions of this country
Seeing people with that speech up on the table all the members of the houses
They're not even allowed to touch the desk on the floor I throw them
Food around the treated with utmost disrespect I said I also spoke to
A gentleman who was for a member of the House of Representatives
Has that told his supporters to
Alcohol
He said it's too little too late he called this an assault
On the Democratic institutions of this country so
I mean the general feeling hair has gone from
Palpable shock
Two stones display free to hear
Level many times once again and for the latest on the
Cimpress inside
Capital
In another part of DC Washington DC we have Jones to apply North America editor whose report we saw earlier on
Can we start first of all
With the
Real significance
All of the scenes that we've been witnessing today in Washington DC
It was Insurrection according to Joe Biden
What else people been telling you
I think people
Stunt
Clearly the security services got some pretty stuff questions to answer about
Why would they want radio what happened to what unfolded
America which likes to lecture the rest of the world
On how to be a good Democratic Society is sightseeing its own shining Beacon
Looking Robert
By what is unfolded
Today
How do I think the politicians cross themselves some pretty tough questions about whether they have contributed to this.
On the one hand look
We love you
To the protected you are very special but saying that go to a bar
62 *
Approved in this election
It's two weeks just about to
Inauguration Day John
Honda
That's the time Kaylee When Donald Trump is
Leaving office
Against his will we know but leaving office at that point
When he told us protesters
In octopus or earlier to go home
Would like for you to be the moment where he kind of signal does he knew that
This protest
Is up
What's that is what I think is the central contradiction of the Donald Trump message which is
You can't say we believe in Law and Order
We're asking you to fight
And stay strong which is what he said in his speech
Outside of the White House earlier on today too late
Why just how
Totally 100%
Does tens of thousands of people believe
That the election was stolen
That Joe Biden is a Chinese puppet of the Communist Party
That
On a massive scale
These people
I've been told that said that about that for weeks
Might be a little bit late in the day
But that sort of changing Behavior
Show me have another woods and show was thank you very much
