Robert Moore and producer Sophie Alexander explain their first draft of history.

The second impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump has dominated the news. Much of the trial focused on events at the Capitol buildings on January 6th.

Producer Sophie Alexander and correspondent Robert Moore from ITV News tell Amol Rajan how they came to be alongside the Trump supporters - and how they came out unhurt.

Guests: Sophie Alexander, producer, and Robert Moore, correspondent, ITV News.
