If you're not into politics - you might as well pop a film on.
Its unlikely anything will be sorted before you sleep tonight if you're in the UK/Europe.
While a coup attempt is taking place in the US Congress..
....Trump supporters storm the grounds of the Capitol Building and tear down fencing.
Incredible.
I'm not going to listen to all the speeches but this is incredible.
Its like a TV series thats jumped the shark.
I'm watching a rish western country's parliament debate whether to end democracy live on TV.
Bizarre.
Mitch McConnell starts to play the "gentleman of honour" card.....lays into Trump's "wild conspiracies".
Hundreds of police overwhelmed by Trump supporters who have now "breached the outer wall of the Capitol building".
Everyone, including Journalists, cannot leave Capitol Building until situation "brought under control."
Trump supporters scaling the walls of the Capitol Building.
Incredible scences - police officers have faded away.
"Tear gas deployed against Trump supporters".
"Trump Supporters reach Capitol Building terrace".
US police retreat.
Capitol Building to remain in lockdown
Pipe bomb threat and gun shots reported.
Capitol Building security overwhelmed.
Hundreds of Trump supporters now inside the Capitol building.
US Senate is officially now being evacuated.
"Senators told to hide within their offices if they cant reach safety."
Mainstream News networks now changing their phrasing.
CNN now calling it as specifically as:
"A Trump-led coup against the United States"-
Everything will change from today.

Hi @officestudents @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk
The Equality and Diversity section of your job application has 'gender' in what appears to be a list of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
However...
1/15
However, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.
https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u
Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act, but that is not on your list.
2/15
You then ask for the 'gender' of the applicant with options:
Male
Female.
3/15
Again, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.
https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u
4/15
Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology, but you don't ask for that.
https://t.co/CEJ0gkr6nF
'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.
