>> it is hurtful to know that they do not macarthur caitriona: health care workers on strike in the u.s. egot announces the world cup will take place across the road in 2030. -- fifa announces welcome to world news america. in washington, the race to become the next speaker of the house is underway. mccarthy was the first speaker ever to be removed from the position. two republicans announced they will run -- jim jordan and steve scalise, who is already the majority leader. mr. jordan is a hard-line

conservative and staunch supporter of donald trump, but also a major opponent of joe biden and has led multiple investigations into the biden administration. >> a lot of people have reached out, asking me to do it. representative jordan's main composition will be steve scalise, house majority leader and number two ranking republican. he has served in congress since 2008. tom amer is also thought to be one to watch. the vote will not be until next meantime, patrick mchenry of north carolina surveying temporarily as speaker. he was on top of the secret list of interim leaders that mr. mccarthy submitted on tuesday, 8 rebellion republicans joined

democrats to oust the california congressman from the speakership . this was led by matt gaetz, who criticized mccarthy by relying on our votes to get a short-term spending bill passed to avoid a shutdown. joe biden says issue -- a solution must be reached. >> we need to change the poisonous atmosphere washington. have strong disagreements but need to stop seeing each other as enemies. we need to talk to one another, work with one another. we can do that. i am joined by minority leader jeffries in saying our republican links remain working in a bipartisan fashion. we remain committed as well cap -- as well. caitriona: casey, we have two names in the ring now are we expecting any others? >> we will have to wait cabinet

or speaker was ousting just last night a number of vomit, right rear we increase the -- there are a number of lawmakers. we are waiting to see if he will run for the post again. but we are less than 24 hours out from the announced. more people could go there hat in the ring, but no one is really extracting a an easy election of a speaker next week. it took kevin mccarthy 15 rounds of clubs to win the speakership in january. -- rounds of vote with the speakership in january caitriona: what will happen next week? >> it will be similar. on tuesday, lawmakers are going to come back from their districts. they will return to washington. lukens will have a candidate

around for people running for speaker to put forward their vision from running the republican conference. we expected the earliest a vote on wednesday. we see the same thing that we saw in january when kevin mccarthy was elected. lawmakers will stand out one by one on the house floor and say they want as the are. caitriona: while -- as speaker. caitriona: the pocket still ticking on the stopgap measure to you government-funded until mid november and can anything happen with that while there is been speaker? >> the stakes are not just a republican party at odds with self. we cap a stopgap funding bill that will run at in the middle of november. negotiations should start as soon as possible in order to make sure the u.s. government does not shut down next month. you also have the husker currently paralyzed -- house

floor currently paralyzed. we have acting speaker patrick henry, but he is not vested with default powers of speaker -- default powers -- the full powers of speaker. many functions of the speaker are shut down until republicans can elect a speaker. caitriona: any sense of any site negotiations owing on in relation to trying to get agreement on a longer-term spending measure? >> no. house republicans were shocked last night to see kevin or the toppled -- kevin mccarthy toppled. there were lawmakers putting forward kevin mccarthy's name that maybe he would run again for speaker as he was telling lawmakers that he would not.

this is a series of the valves that caught a number of republicans by surprise. it is one of the reason that patrick mchenry said everyone home, so that they could regroup. i would not expect any substantial negotiations on the funding bill and tell a speaker is elected. caitriona: what would happen next for speaker mccarthy? >> that is the question. he took questions from reporters last night. he said repeatedly he believes he can serve a marcotte in some -- serve america in some position that is not speaker of the house, but he did not allude to what he plans to do next. i asked some to listen to mccarthy speak laissez whether he allude to whether he would resign from congress altogether. they said mr. mccarthy did not give any hints one way or another. there is precedent for that.

john boehner chose to resign and relinquish the gavel rather than face an ouster vote on the order like mccarthy justin. caitriona: there will be a new speaker of the house. it seems there is no apparent change to polarize politics. >> the two names that you mention who are currently in pension from becoming speaker -- steve release from the louisiana, as well as jim jordan of ohio -- these are very conservative men. most would say that temperamentally they are more politically conservative than mr. mccarthy. i do not think anyone should expect a change in tone with a new speaker when it comes to how the republican conference operates. caitriona: what will this mean

for aid to ukraine? that extra $24 billion that the president asked for, it was removed in order to getting blown. -- in order to get a deal. >> that is because republicans hear from their voters that many, particularly in very conservative districts, our hearing that voters do not want to see more american money sent to ukraine. it is hard for us to see a new speaker of the house wanting to put some for -- some sort of bill for aid to ukraine on the floor for a vote. several conservative lawmakers were warming speaker mccarthy or whoever would become speaker that that was not a move they should take. you see a lot of republican and democratic lawmakers at the q are quite worried -- at the

capital who are quite worried about aid for ukraine. caitriona: thanks for joining us. the largest nonprofit health care system in the u.s. is experiencing a massive debris strike it is one of several in this country and reserve -- in recent months. tens of thousands of kaiser permanente workers hit the picket lines. workers are calling for state staffing levels and higher wages union representatives calling it the largest health care strike in u.s. history. the strike includes five states and may last up to three days. with nearly 13 million kaiser patients across the u.s., service delays are expected. earlier, i spoke to a former director of kaiser unions to

discuss these unions. thanks for joining us. this has been described as the largest health care strike in u.s. history. it is happening at a company that has long had relations between the employer and the workers. what has changed that has led to this strike? >> the labor management partnership that has been in effect there for 26 years has had many challenges over the last few years. one of which was that the coalition of unions, which was one unit -- once unified, is now divided. kaiser permanente deals with two different works of unionized -- groups of unionized workers. that makes things complicated. i also think that the pandemic had a major impact on the social

psychology, the social relationships in all health care institutions. and kaiser permanente was not the. mark split -- not immune. more specifically, everyone who went to work in health care during the pandemic faced fear and the inability to care for patients the way they normally do. there were no treatments, no vaccines, shortages of protective equipment. it was a remarkably fearful time. that has carried over. very difficult for people to recover from that. and it has been difficult for the organization to get back to being fully staffed as they were prior to the pandemic. those challenges have tested the partnership. partnerships are fragile to

begin with. it is a nontraditional way of labored management to engage with one another. that fragility has been tested. caitriona: 20 look at the demands that heth care staff are making out kaiser permanente, how realistic are they? >> there is a realism to the intent and the nature of the demands. i think what they speak to is a real long-term erosion of purchasing power by the workforce, especially low-wage workers. cars are permanente has, to their credit, always pay higher wages than most competition. but the annual raises have been just at cost of living or maybe

a bit below. when you think about that over a decade and you add to that the last couple of years of high inflation, it is a moment of reckoning for everyone in the health care industry to recognize that many people in health care, especially the blue collar, pink color, white collar workers were not the doctors and nurses, work for wages that are very modest. caitriona: sorry to interrupt, but if kaiser permanente moves to raise wages and conditions, would you expect to see at has to on patients in terms of cost? >> not necessarily. i think that kaiser permanente is an excellent job of managing costs to the consumer. they have been successful in

doing that, keeping a competitive race in the marketplace. -- price in the workplace. i think labor-management partnerships have been an important way for parties to manage cost, be efficient it is important that they get back to that so that they can continue to manage increase costs. i do not think that a substantial wage increase has to be passed on to the members of kaiser permanente because of the unique model that kaiser has, which is to use the margins that they make to be put back into the delivery system. caitriona: not that the staff has staged this strike, do you think there will be a swift resolution of the issues? >> i think that that is the strategy. a brief strike is meant to show

unity but also a sense of care for the patients and the communities they serve. i think there will be high incentive for the parties to get back together and settle this. caitriona: in italy, an investigation is underway after at least 21 people died in the poorest coaching crashed. three people, including the ability, hard-edged the bus was taking passengers from the center of venice to a campsite. >> the spot where the tourist bus natives last deadly journey, suddenly it swerved off the side of the overpass, plunging several meters for the railway tracks and bursting into flames. many died on impact, ukrainians and germans among the victims. some of the bodies are too

charred identify. >> it was complex operation last night. the :00 fire -- the coach top fire. we first had to extinguish the flames. we were able to save 15 people but could do nothing for the festivities. >> you can see the sheer force of the impact as the bus smashed through these barriers. already there are questions about the state of these guardrails and how clearly they had aged, but working out why this happens will be for the days ahead. >> maybe it is a tragedy foretold. the overpass has been in a bad way for years. there are pieces of crusty, detached guardrail. >> it was shortly before 8:00

p.m. when the bus the overpass back from central venice. police say there is no sign of the vehicle said breaking race most likely scenario is the driver suddenly fell ill. initial reports said methane fuel sparked the flames, but authorities say it was the batteries that probably fire. the fall and the flames were impossible to extend the mangled mess of what remained of the bus is taken away overnight. it will provide ceral truths. -- clues. late summerolidays turned into a nightmare. caitriona: the biden administration says it will work with congress on military aid and arms sales to egypt. the announcement comes after ben

cardin announced he would put 200 and $5 million in u.s. aid to egypt on hold over human rights concerns. a state department spokesperson says t u.s. will engage closely with not only the egyptian government but also congress about how his funds will use, consistent, he said, with our commitment to egypt and a partnership that in -- enables progress on human rights issues. pakistan has ordered unauthorized asylum-seekers to leave by november or phase deportation -- faced deportation. the interior minister said properties and businesses owned by unauthorized immigrants would be seized this after two suicide bombings last week killed at

least 70 people. -- 57 people. we explained what pushed the country to make this decision. >> not just these two bombings pushed pakistan to take these actions against migrants. i should say that those refugees who crossed into pakistan illegally were living here without documentation. i am talking about aliens, not those who are well documented. i am talking about those who are aliens in here illegally. -- and here illegally. it started the beginning of this year when there was a huge

bombing and we lost more than 100 people. it took place in a mosque in the center of the city. it was huge damage r the pakistani forces. after that, there was a series of attacks. sue the chief of pakistan, he had to come out with a clear stance. this was the first time in the history of pakistan that this statement is issued, learning the afghan authority not to let the [indiscernible] -- [indiscernible]

collapsing due to climate change and they are a breaking way. these strong words were published but he also criticized global decision-makers for being an effective parent -- in effec tive. the death -- the 2030 world cup will be jointly hosted by morocco, portugal, and spelling. -- and spain. your -- argentina and paraguay and uruguay will also hold some matches. the inaugural world cup was hosted in uruguay in 1930. they said they had to get this decision right after a tumultuous's. >> it is a messy compromise. the president was depth -- desperate to avoid the messy

bidding process between bids. you also have to bear in mind he is running another bidding process for the next world cup. the last one, fifa had two bidding processes at the same time between russia and qatar, very controversial circumstances where there were accusations of bribery. fifa has been tarnished by that is desperate to avoid that process won. caitriona: the u.s. german -- women's gymnastics team won road title for the seventh year in a row. simone biles clinched the gold-med, her 33rd medal of the world championships and olympic scrap they broke a tie with china's men's -- they broke
