		</div><p>The US National Park Service has closed Washington’s National Mall to the general public as part of greatly intensified security ahead of Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration.</p>
<p>The closure started Friday morning.</p>
<p>It will remain in force at least through to Thursday, the day after Mr Biden’s inauguration, the National Park Service said in a statement.</p>
<p>The Secret Service asked for the closing.</p>
<p>Thousands of National Guard troops are deployed in the nation’s capital as part of extraordinary security, after supporters of President Donald Trump overran the Capitol building January 6 as politicians were certifying results in Mr Biden’s election victory over Mr Trump.</p>
<p>The park service will still allow inauguration activities and permitted free-speech events on the National Mall despite the closure, it said.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The park service said it would allow only small demonstrations for permit holders and would escort any protesters and hold them in designated areas, along with other safety measures.</p>
<p>National Park Service and Interior Department spokespeople did not immediately respond when asked if any protest permits had been granted or applied for.</p>
