Chaos in Washington as Trump supporters storm Capitol, force Congress lockdown – BBC News

Thousands of supporters of President Trump stormed the US Capitol, expressing anger over Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election. They forced the evacuation and lockdown of Congress, where lawmakers were preparing to approve the election result. Shortly before the clashes, President Trump addressed his supporters near the White House to tell them that he would never accept defeat. President-elect Biden called on Mr. Trump to tell his people to go home and that is ultimately the message delivered by the White House. Washington’s mayor ordered a curfew as members of the U.S. National Guard were deployed to protect the city.
