As it happened: Biden White House 'will tackle domestic extremism' - BBC News
Many of those who took part in the Capitol riot are believed to have subscribed to extremist views.
The White House has just put out a statement marking the 48th anniversary of Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court decision that essentially legalised the right to abortion.

"In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack," the statement from Biden and Harris begins .

They go on to say they are committed to "codifying" the judgement, which means pass legislation through Congress that enshrines abortion access into law.

They will also appoint judges who will support abortion access, they say. Trump, during his time in office, was able to give the Supreme Court a conservative majority, making anti-abortion activists hopeful that Roe v Wade could eventually be overturned.

Biden was the only candidate during the primary to say he endorsed the so-called Hyde Amendment, which says that no federal funds can go towards abortions. After nearly all 22 other candidates came out against the Hyde Amendment, he reversed his stance.

Although abortion is technically legal across the US, multiple states have instituted laws that make it nearly impossible in practice. Abortion activists hope that a law would make it more difficult for local governments to restrict access.
