RIOT

Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot are saying unequivocally that Donald Trump is to blame for the violence and they’re saying lawmakers will recommend ways to prevent another Jan. 6.

Morocco’s state-affiliated human rights council has depicted last month’s attempt by hundreds of migrants to storm the border between the North African kingdom and the Spanish enclave of Melilla as “unprecedented in nature, tactics used and scope.”.

The European Commission has vowed to step up its work with Morocco to fight human smugglers who are using “new, extremely violent methods” to get migrants into Spain.

The House committee investigating the Capitol riot has set a vote for next week to consider contempt of Congress charges for two aides of former President Donald Trump.

Nearly one year after Brendan Gutenschwager captured video of demonstrators marching towards the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the independent videographer still recalls the tension as the crowd first confronted law enforcement along the building’s perimeter.

A federal judge has rejected former President Donald Trump’s request to block the release of documents to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

A Marion County man agreed to a plea deal Friday morning for his involvement in the Capitol riot earlier this year.

Kenneth Kelly faces charges stemming from the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol building.

Prime Minister Hassan Diab canceled his scheduled meetings for the day and called for an emergency session to discuss the crisis. The renewed demonstrations amid calls for Diab's resignation are a huge challenge for the prime minister who took over in December after his predecessor, Saad Hariri, resigned amid nationwide protests late last year. Despite efforts to control the currency depreciation in recent weeks, the Lebanese pound tumbled to more than 6,000 to the dollar on Thursday, down from 4,000 on the black market in recent days. Lebanons financial crisis predates the virus pandemic that put the country in a total lockdown for months, further compounding the crisis.
