U.S. capitals gird for pro-Trump armed protests as FBI flags risk of violence
Protesters are expected to descend on statehouses across the United States on Sunday in support of baseless claims that electoral fraud robbed President Donald Trump of a second term, as law enforcement officials girded for possible violence. More than a dozen states have activated National Guard troops to help secure their capitol buildings following an FBI warning of armed protests, with right-wing extremists emboldened by the deadly siege at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6. Downtown Washington, D.C., was virtually empty, with streets near the Capitol closed and battalions of camouflaged National Guard soldiers taking up positions across the city center.

Man with loaded handgun and 500 rounds of ammunition arrested near US Capitol
A man with a loaded handgun and more than 500 rounds of ammunition has been arrested in Washington at a security checkpoint near the US Capitol, authorities said. Wesley Allen Beeler, of Virginia, had driven to a checkpoint on Friday evening and tried to use a phony credential to access the restricted area where President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated next week, according to a document filed in Washington, DC Superior Court. As officers checked against an authorised access list, one of them noticed decals on the back of Beeler's pick-up truck that said "Assault Life", with an image of a rifle, and another with the message: "If they come for your guns, give 'em your bullets first". Under questioning, Beeler told officers he had a Glock handgun in the vehicle. A search uncovered a loaded handgun, more than 500 rounds of ammunition, shotgun shells and a magazine for the gun, the court document said. Beeler was arrested on charges including possession of an unregistered firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition, a police report said.

Oscars Obliterate Old Record With 240 Qualifying Documentaries
The Oscars Best Documentary Feature race, which set a new record for entries in December when it passed the previous record of 170, has now left all previous years in the dust with 240 eligible films. An additional 25 documentary features were placed in the members-only online screening room devoted to the category on Saturday, in what the Academy told voters would be “the final batch” of this year’s entries. It was the last of seven groups of documentaries that qualified and were placed into the screening room: 25 in July, 12 in August, 16 in September, 33 in October, 36 in November, a huge group of 93 in December and now 25 in January. Academy rules put in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic made it easier than usual for documentaries to qualify for the Oscars this year, which opened the door for a field that obliterated the previous record, which was set in 2017. Films could qualify simply by being chosen for two film festivals from a list of 22, whether or not those festivals actually took place; by winning any one of more than 50 festival awards; or by making themselves available in the Academy Screening Room within 60 days of a streaming, VOD or a broadcast premiere. Also Read: 'Crip Camp' Wins Top Prize at IDA Documentary Awards To guarantee that each eligible film will be viewed by a minimum number of voters, each member of the Academy’s Documentary Branch is assigned certain films as required viewing. Final assignments have yet to be made, but with the record number of contending films, the number of required films for each voter is likely to be more than three dozen. The first round of voting, in which the 240 contenders will be narrowed down to a 15-film shortlist, will take place from Feb. 1-5. While the December group of films included many of the highest profile documentaries in this year’s race, the January group consisted, for the most part, of lesser-known films. They include docs about socialism (“The Big Scary ‘S’ Word”), stem cell research (“Ending Disease”), life in a simulation (“A Glitch in the Matrix”), the Russia investigation of Donald Trump (“The Plot Against the President”) and Terry Gilliam’s attempt to film “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” (“He Dreams of Giants”). Three additional documentary shorts were also added to the screening room, bringing the total number of contenders in that category to 114. That is also a record, topping the 104 entries in 2018. Also Read: 'Time' Director Garrett Bradley Explains How She Exposed Mass Incarceration Via One Woman's Fight Here is the list of the 240 documentary features that are now eligible in the category.
