ah . the votes for a new speak when the u. s. house of representatives will go into a 3rd day republican that kevin mccarthy has now lost in 6 rounds. and it's been agend until thursday. the publicans again failed to convince the group of hot line is to give him the top job with about 20 refusing to support him. a coffee needs at least $218.00 votes to be elected. us president joe biden has urged politicians to get their act together saying the fight, the leadership of the house reflects connie on the country. it's embarrassing with, i mean, literally, i got part of this reality that you know, to big have up congress. the can function. is this embarrassing greatest nation in the world? how can i was on hanjin has been watching developments on capitol hill at john.

extraordinary political saga. what's the latest? what's been a long and disappointing 2 days for kevin mccarthy and a vast majority of republicans who support him. 2 days, 6 boats, something it hasn't happened. ready for a 100 years there was a last time it took for more than one balance to choose the speaker. so they took a break for 3 hours to night came back, had not made significant progress in simply adjourned for the night until noon to morrow. mccarthy has told reporters that he expects to have more votes tomorrow, but of course. ready he's hope for that each of the past 2 days. so right now what we have is an impasse with our small block of 20 people, mostly from the freedom caucus voting for another. how speaker and we've got one person who's voting present, and that simply made use effectively, not boating at all. so mccarthy hopes to have more votes tomorrow,

but the longer this drags out the more pressure there will be on him to step down for other people to possibly put their names in. but right now that has not happened in a major way. what we're seeing is just an intransigent group. mccarthy and his allies had hoped to either offer them inducements, in a matter of fact, that need a number of concessions to them and possibly offer some counter incentives. possibly suggest things that would go badly for them in the next congress. if they don't go along with it, but none of that has worked. so what we have now is a congress that doesn't have a speaker. it can't create new rules for the 118 congress. they can't vote on any legislation and it is effectively non functioning house of representatives until they can get that speaker. and that's part of the urgency of having this done and they want to do it is when i'm done with that impasse, then what would it take for some of these members to back?

mccarthy isn't actually clear what they want. no, it is absolutely not clear what they want. they have asked for a number of things. they want to make government smaller. they want to make the organ is the house more democratic so that each member has more power? they want to weaken the speaker by making it easier to remove them. but it's not clear that any of those things are going to be enough concessions to allow them to vote for kevin mccarthy that some of them just don't seem to want to vote for him. in any case and his group of 20 people that started out of 19 than 20 now, which 21 have been intransigent in opposing him. so some major break is going to have to happen in order for there to be an election with this speaker or the people are going to have to move on with another candidate. mccarthy insists that he is the one who's going to do this is majority of supporters is over 90 percent of republicans in the house still support him. but in the end,

he's going to have that 20800 votes and he doesn't have it on engine with that update for now. thank you. a hottie hut camp is a former us democrat senator and found of the one the country project. she says what's happening reveals the divisions in the republican party. well, i think it's playing out that the, the ongoing civil war within the republican party is playing out in front of people in full, in full view of the american public. this is not something that's new, these conflicts have been ongoing, even beginning with the freedom caucus and the tea party movement back in the early 2, thousands and so, you know, when we look at it, we haven't seen it this blatantly but it's not really a surprise we've known for probably 3 months, or at least since the election that kevin mccarthy did not have enough votes, certainly on the 1st ballot to become speaker of the house. we just didn't know how

many. i think most people were surprised by that by the margin. but you know, he still got the still has 200 of his members who believe he should be the speaker, and that's a pretty good position. still for kevin mccarthy. there's a lot of people who really wanted to make the point about how united in spite of the spectrum of ideologies within the democratic caucus, they have been united and consistent, and staying on task and of, and appearing for every vote. even though they know that hakim jeffries will not become speaker of the house, they are showing their unity. if austin ambassador to not to nations, along with multiple arab and muslim nations, have requested an urgent security council meeting. when it follows incursion of his rails national security minister, it's a mob been given of axa most compound on tuesday. the attack is not only against our holy sites in the lock so most and then the hot m

a resolution. this is it 1322, which condemns what it says was the provocation that had been carried out. and he and the other ambassadors say they want to see another resolution like this passed by the security council, because he made it clear back in 2000 that that act was the spark that started the 2nd into father and some one who covered that on the ground in the west bank at the time that something the certainly at the international community as, as doesn't want to see again, israel's new government has unveiled plans for an overhaul of the justice system, which was significantly weakened. the supreme court critic said, or gave benjamin netanyahu government the power to undermine democracy. i passing laws the court deems unconstitutional. supreme court is due to debate, a new law passed by the government, allowing a politician, convicted of tax offenses to serve as a cabinet minister. on the edge of it and far isn't israeli. iranian middle east

analyst and lecture it, israel's rockland university, he says the proposed changes could threaten israel's democracy. the fact is that one somebody is elected ok to have the people's mandates. but what happens after that they can do whatever they want? no, because there has to be a supervisory body that checks that what they're doing with the people's man. they is legal is within the law and he protects the rights of minorities and the citizens. and that's the job of their, that's the job of the judiciary. and this is something we've had since the birth of the state of israel. this is why we've been a liberal democracy. but once this happens, if the government's going to be successful, then the government can do whatever it wants, basically. and you can do things which are even against the law under and there, and the supreme leader and the supreme court cannot stop them. and this is going to be the end of a israel. as of the liberal democracy will become something like you are. all bands
