[00:00.04]Carrying flags showing the name of President Donald Trump,
[00:05.96]the Capitol's attackers are accused of killing one police officer
[00:12.04]and injuring many others.
[00:15.20]Reports say they threatened Vice President Mike Pence.
[00:21.72]"Hang Mike Pence!" they cried as they pushed inside.
[00:27.36]They had built gallows outside, complete with a tied rope.
[00:33.84]Guns and small explosives were hidden nearby.
[00:39.84]Now, more stories are beginning to describe
[00:44.08]what really happened last week
[00:46.84]when attackers breached the Capitol.
[00:50.44]They were looking for the vice president
[00:53.36]and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
[00:57.44]They were not just a group of Trump supporters wearing MAGA hats.
[01:03.44]MAGA stands for Make America Great Again
[01:08.24]and is a favorite Trump statement.
[01:11.28]Congressman Jim McGovern described how he saw the crowd.
[01:17.08]"What I saw in front of me," he said,
[01:20.64]"was basically home-grown fascism, out of control."
[01:26.92]Pelosi said Sunday on American television
[01:30.80]that the breach was "a well-planned, organized group
[01:35.24]with leadership and guidance and direction."
[01:40.44]Smartphone videos are being found,
[01:43.60]many from the attackers themselves,
[01:46.80]and lawmakers are telling their stories.
[01:50.76]Thousands of attackers had moved into the area.
[01:54.88]They quickly pushed through the outnumbered police.
[01:59.56]Outside, a man threw a heavy fire extinguisher
[02:04.40]at the head of a police officer.
[02:07.56]Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was wounded in the attack.
[02:13.72]He died the next night.
[02:16.80]Officials say he had been hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.
[02:22.68]At about 2 p.m., Pence was taken from the Senate to a secret area.
[02:29.48]Police announced security measures in the Capitol building,
[02:34.88]which is often called the "People's House."
[02:39.32]At 2:15 p.m., a voice said on the building's sound system:
[02:44.92]"The protesters are in the building."
[02:47.88]The doors of the House of Representatives were barricaded.
[02:53.08]Lawmakers inside were told they may need to hide
[02:57.76]or go to small rooms connected to the House floor
[03:02.12]because the attackers were in the building.
[03:05.92]Capitol Police pulled Pelosi away from her podium,
[03:10.92]she told American television.
[03:13.76]At 2:44 p.m., lawmakers inside the House chamber
[03:19.28]were getting ready to be leave.
[03:21.80]They heard the gunshot that killed Ashli Babbit,
[03:26.40]as she climbed through a broken window.
[03:29.88]Ten minutes later, House lawmakers
[03:33.16]and employees were taken to a secure room.
[03:37.60]The attackers broke into Pelosi's offices
[03:41.68]while her employees hid in another room.
[03:45.40]They sat silent, in the dark for more than two hours.
[03:51.56]On the Senate side, Capitol Police had ordered
[03:55.64]all workers and reporters and any nearby senators
[04:00.16]into the Senate chamber and locked it.
[04:03.52]At one point about 200 people were inside.
[04:08.52]They were guarded by an officer
[04:11.24]holding what appeared to be large guns.
[04:16.12]Officials then moved everyone out of the chamber
[04:19.56]and into a secure room.
[04:22.28]The Senate employees held onto boxes
[04:26.04]holding the Electoral College papers.
[04:29.96]The attackers breached the now empty Senate chamber.
[04:35.04]They took pictures and videos of themselves.
[04:39.36]Outside the chamber, the attackers continued to search for lawmakers.
[04:45.08]"Where are they?" people could be heard yelling.
[04:49.24]At about 5:30 p.m., the National Guard arrived
[04:54.24]and an effort began to clear the building.
[04:57.92]Using tear gas, they pushed the attackers
[05:01.92]out of the building and on to the grass.
[05:05.64]Within the hour, the House and Senate had returned to work.
[05:10.88]Lawmakers confirmed Biden's election victory early the next morning.
[05:17.56]Many were still shocked by the events.
[05:21.52]Federal and local police now have
[05:24.32]begun arresting those involved in the breach.
[05:28.08]More arrests are expected
[05:31.08]as police look at videos and pictures on social media.
[05:36.80]The justice department has charged at least 13 people so far.
[05:43.04]Others have been charged by the District of Columbia.
[05:47.52]Some face gun charges.
[05:50.64]Those arrested include Jake Angeli.
[05:54.80]He wore a fur hat with horns.
[05:58.24]He has attended many Trump events
[06:01.68]and is a well-known believer in conspiracies.
[06:06.72]Adam Johnson was photographed smiling as he took Pelosi's lectern.
[06:15.32]Richard Barnett was photographed with his feet on Pelosi's desk.
[06:21.88]Eric Munchel was photographed in military clothing
[06:26.84]holding plastic restraints in the Senate Chamber.
[06:32.24]And Derrick Evans,
[06:34.28]a newly-elected member of the West Virginia House of Delegates,
[06:40.00]also was arrested.
[06:42.72]He has since resigned.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
