hello. we begin in the united states where republican kevin mccarthy has lost a 6th round of voting to elect a speaker for the house of representatives is the 1st time in a 100 years that a nominee for house speaker has failed to be appointed on the 1st vote voting started on tuesday and will continue until a candidate gets $218.00 votes. democrat, hakeem jeffries, one, the 1st 5 votes, congressional business cannot start until the speaker is elected. the republicans have a narrow majority in the house, but mccarthy is facing opposition from hard line members within his own party. around 20 republicans are blocking mccarthy's bid for speaker most belong to a group known as the house freedom caucus, which is on the hard right of the republican party. many a supporters, a former president, donald trump, and believe mccarthy is not invested enough in parties and rivalries that have dominated the house. trump has urged fellow republicans to elect kevin mccarthy to

lead the chamber, members of the house. freedom corker. say they want to level the playing field for the american people. they're demanding changes to rules that govern daily operations of the house, including giving junior members more influence on legislation. well, john henry jones, we live from capitol hill and john the houses now jens, any indication of what comes next? well, it's been a slow and stubbornly unchanging series of disappointments for would be speaker kevin mccarthy. after this 6 vote, which was inconclusive, the house adjourned until 8 o'clock later on this night. that's about 3 hours from now. in the hopes that with a meeting of members of that freedom caucus and those who back mccarthy, they come to some resolution. but so far it seems that that block of stubborn hard, right, republican voters wants more than anything to see kevin mccarthy go down as

a speaker candidate, they seem to want to make a point and they don't seem to be willing to be placated by any of the many confessions that mccarthy and his allies have given them. lorne over it stood up to propose that another republican at be nominated for speaker that is byron donald's, and she said, you all have had the president, the former president, donald trump, calling to lobby as to knock it off. she said the reverse should happen. he should be calling kevin mccarthy also an allied trump and asking him to step down into acknowledge recently doesn't have the vote to become speaker, so there could be some resolution in the next 3 hours. we don't know, but mccarthy has made little progress really. yesterday he had 19 votes against him from republicans to fight. today was 20 votes for byron donald and one abstention of voting, member voting present. so,

so far there is no break in that impasse and the prospect of one later on. they have to get 218 votes just to adjourn. we'll see what happens this evening. what's implications for, for how whistle function given all this division at this stage. but congress cannot function at all, at least the house can't until they pick a speaker. they can't pick the rules for which the $118.00 congress will run on. they can't pick committee assignments for members, so they really can't do much of anything. but really does that expectations? no matter who is elected speaker here, it's a bit of a poison chalice. this will be a republican speaker with a democratic senate and a democratic president. generally, when that happens, when you've got divided government, all that passes are those mandatory spending bills? and sometimes those are a slog, and in this case it will be even harder for the republican speaker because they are going to have to contend with this group of freedom. paco's members who could

perform the same kind of act on every vote as it comes up. and if they operate on the rules that kevin mccarthy has already agreed to. a group of just 5 of them could call for the speaker to be ousted or removed. so whoever wins this bit of a poison chalice for them, and it's not clear who is wanting to win it in the end right now. kevin mccarthy is not making it through john hendrick. thank you very much. and ds ah, the world health organization says china isn't giving an accurate picture of the extent of it's covered 19 outbreak. on tuesday, china's top scientists presented data to you, an agency officials, but the debate chose emergency program director says beijing is under representing hospitalizations and deaths with disease. there are certainly issues in terms of the criteria for recording and reporting dance attributable to call with dining. we

actually improvised barracks was just about 13 q. well, there's from the front line in reach, not only of massage, but those of a guns enhancers. you shouldn't really relax in such a place and gather a lot of troops. and as a result, and practically an entire original russian regiment was decimated together with their commanding officers. and now, no one really wants to take the boy. russia's president has sent a ship armed with defensive missiles to the atlantic ocean in a signal to the west that he will not back down over the worn ukraine. that'd be putin says rushes. zia con hypersonic cruise missiles are unrivalled. just it was, this was over here and now i want to thank the specialist in the defense industry complex, who created and started mass protection of the unique weapon. please. as i said
