must they government and weakens off the britons. finance minister announces a string of tax increases and spending cuts to fix the public finances. ah. in the us veteran, democrat, politician. how speaker nancy pelosi. as an else, she will not seek reelection to the job. she revealed her decision in a speech to the house and was cheered by her fellow democrats. better the 82 year old has served a speaker twice during her time in congress and was the 1st woman to take the role when she was elected in 2007 lucy. so she will continue to represent san francisco in the house as she has done for 35 years. and with great confidence in our caucus, i will not seek reelection to democratic leadership in the next congress. for may the hours come for a new generation to lead the democratic caucus that i so deeply respect and i am

grateful that so many are ready and willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility . well, closest decision to quit comes as republicans prepared to take control of the chamber having 1218 seats in the us house of representatives in the mid term elections. it gives them a slim majority with 6 other seats still to being counted, the democrats have $211.00 seats so far. president joe biden has congratulated the republicans and promised to work with them. but this wind in the mid term elections could give them leverage to block his agenda. she, every tansy is live for us on capitol hill and she had of course, after 2 decades in the role of speaker, how significant is policies decision to step down for the democrats and indeed for you as politics. it was fascinating because she kept her on guessing until the very, very last minute, even suggesting that mr. abe suggested that she was wrestling with whether to step

down because the democrats did far better than the expected in the midterm. she suddenly had this unexpected political capital, and joe biden apparently told her, oh no, you should stay for say, for another time, even though she had pledged a step down in 20 in 2022. but she made an impassioned passion case stafford generational shifts now in the democratic party, which actually does have relevance even when we think about joe by himself. 79 who hasn't said what hasn't firmly said whether he's running again in 20202024. so yes, so she is stepping down as a generational shift your logical shift in the leadership of the party, where we now understand that her deputy, who's himself, $83.00, has said he's not going to be standing for the, for the position. and that will be a bloodless transition of power and they will, it was, they were questions as to, as to whether, whether this would be a seamless transition. we're getting the answer. now this will be a seamless transition to a new generation of democrats to share that same centrist corporate friendly

democratic sort of wing of the party party outlook. hakeem jeffries, we understand, should have a very easy now a very easy now transition into the leadership position. in the house sees you to mir 50 to 51 i think i think 52 actually he's the current head of the democratic caucus mouth. and she and now we have the numbers. are we getting a sense of the republican agenda where they take control the january investigation? is that what we've been hearing? we the democrats, republicans comp person, either just lation because they didn't take the senate as they hoped. but what they do have now that they have, they will have control of the house in january is control of the various committees and they can launch investigations much as the, the democrats did into donald trump when, when they held held the house. and there is a sense of payback and we had a press conference a few hours ago from, from to republicans who said that they will be looking very aggressively into

hunter biting. jo biden's son's business dealings. they say that whistleblowers quote, who claim quite a wide range of criminality. the question that the, that the republican congressman, who we over looking over seeing this investigation said, is where the president boynton is a national security risk is compromised by foreign governments. because under biden, made so much money from foreign governments. leveraging his role as the, as, as the vice president's son. so that'll be, that'll be an interesting one. and we also understand all the investigations into the department of justice is handling of donald trump so that, you know, i mean these are valid lines of inquiry, but the question is, will it be about the truth or will it be about grandstanding? will it be about making simply bite as uncomfortable as possible? the administration is uncomfortable, possible, will it be about pay back? the other thing though, the republicans in the house can do is hold up so called must pass legislation funding the government allowing the government to pay the bills and then construct near government closures government shutdowns. and i'm sure we can remember

government shutdowns in the past, but what the, the establishment republican wing of the party has to wrestle with us, how far to appease that trump wing when they are pretty sure that it's the trump wing who alienated swing voters and the 1st place and lead to the mid term losses. and it is all that the republicans we remembered for going into 2024 is just standing in the way of legislation and graham standing about joe biden. that's the question now for the republican poster. she have many things she pretends he live on capitol hill, the ah, to breaking news in garza now and at least 21 people have been killed in a fire in a residential building. the blaze broke out and the jabari, a refugee camp in the northern garza strip emergency crews, are trying to rescue residence. there dozens more. have been taken to hospital. i will as get more from the outside. who's in garza, you know, we're hearing of an increasing number of casualties. at least 21 people we believe

have lost their lives. what more can you tell us about this far? yes, unfortunately, in this incident, the fire broke according to sources. they say that there was a birthday party because of a gas leak in the home. when the candles were lighted, there was a huge explosion and the fire iraq, to not only in that apartment, but in the entire building where that apartment is. it seems like a 3 story building according to what we have seen. and until now 21 people were taking the hospital dead. totally burdened a body's not all the people like all these buddies where identified who they are. of course, among those killed are women and children, and also men. the civil defense had

a lot of actually trouble in putting down the spire and we're talking about a refugee cabin thing. usually refuge account think are very, very does people plated areas with the buildings very much attached to each other. and that's why it's, it's a place where, when there is a destruction, it's actually it's, it's usually masters actually result in and in many other areas around that particular place. so the civil defense to about an hour to put down or to put off the fire. and it was in great difficulty with their capital. the latino, which are very actually weak capital, is used for civil goods. civil. the sans and fire fighters systems actually put down such a fire, and that's why you put them a lot. also, the still said that there are lots of other people who are still missing from that

building. they haven't been able to bring out all the bodies, which means that we're expecting a rise in the numbers. doesn't have been taking toss, it'll as injuries as well. we still don't know the number of injury is because there is a huge number. and also, according to the 1st or initial report of the investigation, the police had said that there seemed to be a gasoline in that home stored gasoline in the home. and this also helped in good, strong explosion and a huge fire in that home or in that building or i. for now, you're now outside speaking to us on the phone some, some garza, many thanks for that. we will of course, update you with more information as soon as we have it about that fire her caught in the netherlands to sentence 3 men to life imprisonment for the downing of malaysia airlines flight made 17 in 2014. the jet was flying from
