Live updates: Nation marks anniversary of Jan. 6 storming of U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump mob wapo.st/3qLYQdW

Biden is marking the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by addressing Trump’s culpability. Watch our live coverage. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
President Biden is addressing the nation from the U.S. Capitol, marking the first anniversary of its attack.

“We must make sure that such an attack never, never happens again.”
In a searing speech, Biden marked the first anniversary of the insurrection by painting in vivid detail the violence of that day — and, without naming Trump, by squarely blaming the former president for spreading “a web of lies” about the 2020 election. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
In a statement issued shortly after Biden’s address, Trump accepted no responsibility for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, instead lashing out at Biden and Democrats investigating the insurrection. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that one of the Capitol rioters reportedly made anti-Semitic remarks against him while pursuing him during the Jan. 6 insurrection. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

Kazakhstan's president called on troops to “shoot to kill” protesters as the Central Asian nation faces anti-government demonstrations.

Here’s how, in less than a week, anger over rising fuel prices led to a deadly crackdown in the country. wapo.st/3JQIBFi
On Saturday, the government lifted price caps on liquefied petroleum gas, which is used to operate most vehicles. Kazakhstan is an oil-rich nation but the move caused the price of fuel to skyrocket, roughly doubling overnight and sparking anger in the western region of Mangistau. Image
By Tuesday, the uprisings in the country's west had spread to other regions. About 5,000 people gathered in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city.

The demonstrations became less about the fuel-cap decision and more about dissatisfaction with those in charge. wapo.st/3JQIBFi

LIVE NOW: Today is the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

@Rho_Co, @LindseySitz, @pkcapitol and @jameshohmann are discussing their memories of the day and how the attack changed Congress now on @TwitterSpaces, hosted by @libcasey: twitter.com/i/spaces/1rmxP…
Video: Sen. Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Rep. Lofgren (D-Calif.) head committees that are addressing security gaps exposed on Jan. 6. They discuss what’s been accomplished, what lies ahead. washingtonpost.com/video/politics…
"It's terrifying on many levels because you can't control it. ... Anyone who is going to scale a wall is probably not going to stop once they get in. It was hard to watch."

Trump’s assault on American democracy began in 2020, when he issued a flurry of preemptive attacks on the integrity of the country’s voting systems.

The doubts he cultivated ultimately led to a rampage inside the U.S. Capitol a year ago today. wapo.st/3pTXK0M
While the public may have been surprised by what happened on Jan. 6, the makings of the insurrection had been spotted at every level, from one side of the country to the other.

The red flags were everywhere. wapo.st/3pTXK0M
Intelligence officials never envisioned a mass attack against the government incited by a sitting president.

Yet Trump was the driving force at every turn as he orchestrated what would become an attempted political coup leading up to Jan. 6.

Healthy, boosted people unlikely to develop severe omicron infections, but jury’s out on older, at-risk populations wapo.st/32Ck3yy
Healthy individuals who have been vaccinated, and especially those who have been boosted, appear unlikely to develop severe infections from the omicron variant that would land them in the hospital, say medical experts. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/12…
It’s not yet clear whether older, boosted individuals and those with underlying conditions face the same lowered risk.

Those answers are key to assessing omicron's trajectory in the U.S. since it is older and less healthy than many of its global peers. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/12…

It’s been 31 years since Kevin McCallister battled dim-witted robbers in "Home Alone," but fans keep coming to the iconic suburban Chicago home. wapo.st/3EH854Q
The Chicago-area home located about 30 minutes north of the city has become a staple for tourists, especially around the holidays.

The stately, symmetrical house is one of the most iconic movie residences in American pop culture. wapo.st/3EH854Q Image
As a regional attraction, the McCallister house is a unique treasure that stirs regional pride for Chicagoans.

Like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” which spotlighted Chicago’s Wrigley Field, “Home Alone” is deeply rooted in its sense of place. wapo.st/3EH854Q ImageImage

Omicron variant appears to be less severe than once dominant delta variant, U.K. researchers suggest washingtonpost.com/world/europe/o…
Early evidence from Scotland and England suggests that omicron is sending fewer people to the hospital. That surveillance tracks well with the latest observations from South Africa. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/o…
The early research from Scotland was led by the scientists at the University of Edinburgh, in a well-vaccinated population not too different from the U.S.

“This is a qualified good news story,” said Jim McMenamin, one of the co-authors of the study. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/o…
