US POLITICS: Will Inauguration day become violent?

When Joe Biden is sworn in this week it will be one of the most unusual Inauguration ceremonies in history.

The FBI has warned that armed protests by violent Trump supporters were being planned in all 50 state capitals as well as in Washington for the days leading up to the inauguration.

To find out how tight security will be and what the risk of more violence is we’re joined by US politics reporter for the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age Matthew Knott

Have we learned why they were incapable of the mob storming the capital and confident we’ll get it right this time? How likely is it we’ll see violence from pro Trump extremists? A number of protesters have been locked up, what are they actually facing and will it reduce the risk this week? What normally happens at the Inauguration? How quickly will there be a noticeable change once Biden takes office? Trump has been impeached again, does it give him a reason to keep fighting? Does the Senate trial have to happen for him to not be President again? Will the Inauguration bring a new sense of moving forward for America?

In today's headlines:

  • Australian Open in chaos with fifth COVID-19 case
  • Australia probing Norway deaths following Pfizer vaccine
  • Unvaccinated patrons could be banned from NSW pubs and clubs
  • Australia leads by 54 runs heading into day four of the fourth test
