Horrific never-before-seen body-cam footage exposed to public

Never-before-seen footage is being revealed at the January 6 Capitol riot hearing after 11 months of investigation

The committee showed extensive video footage laying out the chronology of the Jan. 6 attack.

The video includes timestamps and audio of officers responding to crowds storming the building.

“We need backup,” a voice said as violent scenes play out.

The clips show rioters breaking windows and pushing through barricades.

“Hold the line! Hold the line!” officers yell as they physically clash with rioters at about 2 p.m. ET, according to the video.

“I need support,” an officer says over body camera footage of another officer getting pushed by crowds.

“We lost the line.”

The Jan. 6 committee showed never-before-seen footage of people rushing out of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s office during the early stages of the riot.

The clip was included in a montage of some of the most violent moments from the riot, including Trump supporters attacking police officers and smashing windows.

After the committee showed footage, injured officers spoke on their experience.

Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards was injured after she was part of an altercation involving members of the Proud Boys while defending the US Capitol during the riot.

“I was called a lot of things on January 6, 2021 and the days after. I was called Nancy Pelosi’s dog, called incompetent, called a hero and a villain. I was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my Constitution. In actuality, I was none of those things. I was an American standing face to face with other Americans, asking myself, how many times, many, many, times, how we had gotten here?”

U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.

The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.

Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.

Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.

Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.

Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.

With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.Download the Ticker app

Ships have been repeatedly warned against entering the strait, as stated by crews in the area and the European Union’s naval command, Aspides. On Saturday, dozens of tankers diverted, with some seeking refuge in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates while others opted to steer clear of the region, as reported by oil brokers and shipowners.

Shipping Concerns

Tensions continue to impact shipping operations as carriers remain cautious in the Gulf region.

Tanker crews reported hearing explosions near Iran’s Kharg Island, which is vital for the country’s oil exports, as it handles 90% of its crude oil shipments.
