WASHINGTON: Vice President Mike Pence condemned the violent supporters of President Donald Trump who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday in an attempt to block certification of the presidential election results, as the US Senate resumed its vote count after an hours-long delay.
“You did not win. Violence never wins,” Pence said of the gang of people who responded to Trump’s call to protest his loss in November’s presidential election. Pence said the Capitol was secured, and urged the Senate to “get back to work.”

Kremlin says won’t share ‘specifics’ of Putin, Trump phone call on Iran war
DUBAI: The Kremlin said on Wednesday that it will not disclose the specific proposals by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the current Middle East war which came during an earlier phone call with US President Donald Trump.
During a presser, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia will not disclose the “specifics” of the Russian president’s proposals to Trump.
Putin held a phone call with Trump on Monday where they discussed the Ukraine and Iran wars.
Trump hailed the conversation as “positive.”
“He wants to be helpful” on the Middle East, Trump said of Putin.
Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov told reporters later that day that Putin had a roughly one-hour telephone conversation with Trump at the request of the US side. The two leaders had not spoken over the phone since late December of last year.
Separately, Russia said it is constantly in touch with the Iranian leadership and willing to contribute to efforts to stabilize the region.
“Here I can only say that we are in constant contact with the Iranian side and with the Iranian leadership.”
“As President (Vladimir) Putin has said, Russia is always ready to do what it can to restore peace and stability in the region.”
