Donald Trump has declared a 13-day "emergency" in Washington until January 24 amid fears of a major armed "uprising" across the US next week…
The announcement comes after the FBI warned an armed group is planning protests across the country and that could start a "huge uprising" if the 25th Amendment is invoked.

This Afternoon, the Australian sharemarket extended its poor start to the week's trading on Tuesday, falling for a second consecutive session as tech stocks once again took a beating.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index fell 18.1 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 6679.1, slipping from a strong open, after the market rose as much as 0.5 per cent through the morning.
While value stocks like the major banks performed well, their performance was capped by a poor performance from the tech sector, as the rising 10-year US Treasury yield weighed on equity market gains.
Investors are cautious rising bond yields could weigh on lofty valuations, particularly as earnings season approaches.
"Stocks that miss or are downgraded during reporting season could be punished more if bond yields continue to rise," Macquarie strategists said.

Mobile gaming company iCandy Interactive (ASX: ICI) has unveiled the first of four new proprietary mobile games first announced over 18 months ago.
In a statement, the company referred to “very encouraging” preliminary responses as a reason why the game could make an international commercial launch in the coming months.
Formerly known as Hamstranauts, the final release version of the new game is titled Claw Stars after being completed “earlier than expected”.
iCandy also confirmed it is collaborating with Google Play in an early access trial, which is expected to take around two to three months to complete.
It will generate gamer feedback, reactions and other insights into player behaviour during the game, thereby generating valuable insights into the game’s initial reception and playability.

Across Asia, China stocks rebounded on Tuesday from their worst session in three weeks a day earlier, underpinned by gains in the consumer and aerospace sectors, while Hong Kong shares inched higher to hover near a one-year peak hit in the previous session.
At the midday break, the Shanghai Composite index was up 0.8% at 3,559.86, while China’s blue-chip CSI300 index was up 1.1%.
The smaller Shenzhen index was up 0.74%, the start-up board ChiNext Composite index was higher by 1.14% and Shanghai’s tech-focused STAR50 index was up 0.6%.
However, gains were capped by continued worries over a pickup in coronavirus infections in northern China and tensions between Beijing and Washington.
