the day after the us house of representatives fails to like to speak have ab set to try again. ah, 11 o'clock, this is out there, a live window. how also coming up? european union health ministers meet, discuss the surge of coven 19 cases in china, of aging list since travel restrictions. ukraine's foreign minister says patriot missiles from the us will soon arrive and keep to help in its fight against russia . and security and economic growth are on the minds of faces. is nigeria gives up for the general election. ah, so we start in the united states when members, once again gathering to elect a new speaker, the house representatives, publican, kevin mccarthy,

failed to win in the 3 votes that were held on tuesday when conservative members of his party refused to support him. it is the 1st time in a century the houses fail to elect a new speaker on the 1st ballot. let's get more in this from john 100. he joined just now from capitol hill. so john, the thing is getting underway again. what's the latest? well, there is no sign that kevin mccarthy has lined up enough votes in order to be elected speaker for the 2nd day in a row. and that's really a test of his leadership. the democrats couldn't possibly by marketing like this. they've been sharing these, they've been voting in unison for hakim jeffries, their choice for speaker, but they don't have a majority. and it mccarthy's republicans do. and they can't seem to get it together in order to elect him, they need a majority of that house, which means 218 members of the for 35. and so far they can't do that in the

suggestion really is coming out that this is looking like the party that can't govern if they can't get together $218.00 votes to select a leader, then how are they going to get people together for the votes? to come and it's already going to be difficult for them. they are facing a democratically controlled senate, a democratic president. so getting anything through is going to require unity from those republicans. but what we're hearing so far is pretty much nothing. and generally if they had the vote by now, you would have thought that it would have come out that there would be some statements of confidence. we have not heard that. so there apparently meeting in the cloakroom trying to decide whether to go forward with a 4th vote for speaker, or whether to maybe take some more time and try to twist him or arms offer some inducements. but mccarthy has offered pretty much, almost everything he could in order to persuade those now 20 members who have opposed him on that and they are not going with him yet. so you can imagine there

beings, there are some inducements being offered right now. we'll see what happens if they call a vote today and whether they go forward with this process today or put it off that you took of inducements, as you say, that he's offered a raft of concessions already. so what, what, what will it take for these members? to back because well he's already given up something huge he his offered to allow just 5 members to call for a vote to remove the speaker. that is something nancy pelosi, the last speaker, a democrat, didn't have to put up with. so she had a lot more power than this new speaker would have. and that's one of the things that this rogue group of freedom caucus republicans want. they want to weaken the speaker, they want to increase the control of the members. they also want prime committee assignments for their sub caucus, this freedom focus group of republicans. but mccarthy and the others have pointed

out. you have to elect the speaker before you can come up with the rules that allow those committee assignments to be made. i think what they're asking for essentially is a promise that they'll get the committee assignments they want. mccarthy has not been willing to do that, at least he hasn't stated so publicly. they also want fiscally conservative legislation. but really it seems like some of these people just don't like mccarthy don't. they don't feel like he's one of them. and in the end, what they seem to be looking for is a scalp. and a 5 of them can hold together and keep him from becoming speaker. it seems like that's really the goal of some of these republicans will keep it on at john and, but with you just as soon as any developments john 100, the capitol hill. no european union officials meeting brussels to discuss the reported surgeon cove in 1900 cases in china. the german foreign minister says countries should take this very, very seriously some chinese regions. and now seeing 2000000 new cases

a day. this after paging, relax that strict curves last month and south career is increasing airport screening after chinese citizen when missing law to testing positive on arrival. japan also tiny border control measures. well, bay jane says restrictions on its travelers are discriminatory and is called on europe to stop politicizing. the pandemic will need to either push out. we also know that many people see that if they have not politicize the pen to make it the very on, but responded responsibly with an attitude of putting like this, like the chinese government. the covered 900 situation, both within the u. s. and worldwide would not have developed as it has today. we sincerely hope that all the parties will focus on washing clothes, 19 of whatever the citation of the shows and streets in solidarity and work to give a to prevail over covered 19 as soon as possible. a dominant cane is in berlin and has more on this meeting of the you officials. the issue they've got to deal with

is that c e, c, d c, that's the european agency, which looks into disease control. and that sort of thing would thing that it doesn't see that there is a greater needs to bring, bring in unilaterally the sorts of measures that we've been hearing about, about controls, the airports tests. and that sort of thing any further than the ready are in existence. because they believe that the variance that are to be seen in china already in the european union, and therefore, it would be as it were, shutting the door after the horses bolted us. my was not theirs, of course. and so what you have there is there is clearly a feeling that something needs to be done. but that idea that maybe they're a little bit hamstrung by what their own scientists are telling them. as such as mentioned south prayers, increasing cave in 1900 check to the ports. it says around 25 percent of short term visitors from china tested positive on arrival. on tuesday units came reports now from vincent air force in south korea. flights connecting cities in china to here

in china. international airport in south korea are at a fraction of what they used to be in pre pandemic times. and yet short term visitors who are able to walk through those doors would do so straight into a p. c. r testing booth, and from there, those who test positive would be moved to a hotel nearby for a week long florentine on their own expense. now health officials say they found $73.00 positive cases. on tuesday, accounting for about 25 percent of china arrivals on that day, not including locals who would test within 24 hours at a local clinic near them. now these positive cases are being analyzed for variant information. and despite these tightened protocols, we are already hearing on day 2 since roll out of one man who got away on the way to florentine forcing officials to have to put out an alert hostage, guinea,

a punch me 1st codec, you know, there is no surgeon available in ukraine who can perform the necessary operation that alexander needs in order to walk unaided and potentially box. again, he aspired to be a national champion. and one of the reasons is because boxing in this country is often described as a national obsession. weren't what bilbry, this is former multiple world heavyweight title holder. and now men of give italy critical visiting the frontline town of bottled, wearing the colors all free. and this is current, w, b o, w b a, and i b f, heavyweight champion, alexander music. ah, there are boxing gyms like this one established years ago, right across ukraine. ah,

and will help us serve our country's national interest. in nigeria, politicians have begun holding campaign rallies ahead of a general election in february. no jury is worsening. security issue has a top the agenda, militants and gangs continued to attack villages across the northwest parts of the country. um 2 dressers that are really kind of almost every leading candidate here in it's talking about the issues that bothers most nigerians not to secure or to not the cost of living. but above all, a lot of people feel that if security is checked, that will be then a bond priority for now. simply because whenever you go in this country, the police can't even handle the situation on the ground. the government has to deploy security forces to make sure that the police are supposed to deal with certain problems. but again, these problems continue from the ne,

the book lot. i'm just now into it's 14 and then the vendor tree and the kidnappings from the north west. central part of the park continue. and also if you look at the distant part of the peace of the country, there is a new circus. the by the separatist movement, you want an independent can probe. yeah, for movement is burning. government offices are trying to do as because we do so basically we continue to speak to will tell you that the priority is to stabilize the country to stabilize the quality and invested education, restore electricity, and deal with issues like that. the package owns government has ordered shopping mows and markets to close, early as part of a plan to conserve energy. it says the shows rouse could save the country hundreds of millions of dollars, but the store owners want the decision reversing. it will be harmful to their business. pakistan is in economic crisis and his struggle to find foreign currency

this is after 9 pm in theory. i think it's wonderful if you implemented people should, rightly but can sleep early and use the daylight for, for, for, for the time that we need. but in the context, for instance, in karachi context is a cultural changed, and cultural change cannot happen and drastic move again. we have to understand the structural problems that we are dealing and bucks on. and if you're talking about the economy at lodge, i think we just, we just heard from diameter, she crystelina that one 3rd of the country would face a sort of sort of a drastic decline in their growth in 2023 and box. that is no different than any other country. and especially in this region, if we truly want to implement implement good chain that has to be from the structural changes of the economy. authorities in india are investigating recent times in india administered kashmir. at least 5 people are being killed and several
