The US Congress has certified 270 Electoral College votes for Joe Biden, confirming that he will become the next President of the United States of America.

Pence condemned the violent supporters of President Trump who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday in an attempt to block certification of the presidential election results, as the Senate resumed its vote count after an hours-long delay.

Four people died in Washington on Wednesday, with one woman, a Trump supporter, shot in the Capitol building.

This livestream will take in main events from Washington DC throughout today.
