8:03 am
with optimism with but the repub in rebels want to dramatically limit the size of the federal government and overhaul the congressional rules to do that. and a series of concessions failed to satisfy them. rather after hours of deadlock votes, they took a 3 hour break for equally fruitless negotiation with the house, be an honor, then quickly adjourned. for a 2nd day without speaking, democrats watched the slow paced collision with glee. one bearing an armload of popcorn. the contrast between house democrats on the chaos and confusion taking place on the other side of the aisle could not be more clear. democrat hakim jeffries topped every vote, but fell short. the majority needed to win. without a speaker, the house can't pass laws may committee assignments or even swear in its new members leaving the united states without a functioning house of representatives. one democrat, in particular,
8:04 am

8:05 am
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,
8:06 am
and appearing for every vote. even though they know that hakim jeffries will not become speaker of the house, they are showing their unity, the palestinian ambassador to the united nations, along with multiple out of a muslim majority nations, requesting an urgent security council meeting. it's after israel's national security minister to melbourne via made what's described as an incursion into the all ok, so most competent on tuesday the attack is not only against our holy sites in the lock, so mosque and, and the hot m sharif. there are because of this environment of extremism that this is the really extreme government, the extremist in the history of israel, is providing is leading to additional aggression against our christian sites. christian, graveyards, you've seen by now that there are crosses over, you know,
8:07 am
graveyards, being trampled upon and attacked by extreme settlers. this is a toxic environment. the international community has to speak with one voice outer perimeter got it, and james base has more. well, this been a flurry of diplomatic meetings taking place here at the united nations meeting of the arab group of ambassadors. then a meeting of the ambassadors from all islamic countries and then representatives of those 2 groups meeting with the current president of the security council. japan, he'll preside over the security council meeting that's going to take place on thursday, the palestinian ambassador, making it clear they want very tough action from the security council. it's worth noting that among those ambassadors surrounding the palestinian ambassador were the representatives of 2 countries that of long had diplomatic relations with israel. that's jordan and egypt and also the ambassador of morocco and the deputy ambassador of u. e. 2 countries that the more recently have had more friendly relationships with
8:08 am
israel. it's also worth telling you that one of those ambassadors, the ambassador from jordan, my mood ha, mood spoke also to reporters. jordan has a special role as the guardian of the holy sites. the king of jordan has a special role as the guardian of the holy sites in jerusalem. he made it clear and reminded reporters of the year 2000 when the then that israeli opposition. leah ariel sharon, went to the alex amongst compound. and he said that at that time the security council had produced 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 inter father and some one who covered that on the ground in the west bank at the time. that's something that certainly at the international community as,
8:09 am
as doesn't want to see again, is new government has unveiled plans for an overhaul. the justice system, which will significantly weaken the supreme court. critics say it'll give benjamin netanyahu coalition the power to undermine democracy by passing laws, even if the court decides their unconstitutional. the 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. welsh albert on fire is in his really arabian middle east analyst and lecturer at israel's reichman 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 them. what they're doing with the people's mandate 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
8:10 am
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 and there 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 the bands are hungry and populous. the more china is being accused of giving an inaccurate picture of the extent of its coven 19 outbreak. it's leading scientists have given information to united nations agency officials, but the emergency program director of the world health organization says beijing is under representing fatalities. there are certainly issues in terms of the criteria
8:11 am

8:13 am
when we look at all of the, all my needed that, that, that in fact was come, visit the not only, let's say the jump on or oriental. it will go around 2 percent of them, at least based on that that was so positive in them of the 90 and we know the new somebody and the us in the month it is a most wonderful bill. jerry, the, i'll be presenting the cases again with the current policy within china that they will not be for that it needed desolate. and also the action case also becomes a big question about the real situation in china. but at least we can see in that place i from discuss my with my fellow with young china,
8:14 am
this situation at least it's getting caught in the city, but it seemed a way we will move to the are some, some, some are around the city and it's in the situation in china will be also are still challenging and the next man and again, the stand in something that the china is doing now in very improving the was the fascination and also giving the of and the vital especially like love it will prevent the date a see monday of asia. as we mentioned before, there are more come countries now who are requesting a negative test from chinese troubles prior to getting on a flight plus a p c r on arrival. if that is brought in quickly enough, is that likely to be enough to be able to, to keep the situation under control?
8:15 am
yeah, this will be how good if, if, just if the candy, let's say how many candy in the were also sending the they are how system because based on the recent, the border states and the border, i mean requirement is not i will not effective if there is no appropriate laser within the nation. so it's me, again, the facts in asia and they probably houses are made that is also still in the, in the late in the back of the, let's say the next wave emerging news, somebody and, but again, i said also rise that this should be, we have to be fair and so then the dental phobia or just responding or addressing the chinese travel because the situation was to happen in
8:16 am
listening to us 8 also experiencing the crisis. this, which is now explained at least 2000000 active cases of it. so i or the urge are, i'm forget the, i mean normally a chill just implement the set. if you can't, all oxygenation, like the under the blue, i mean international have a glitch. and so it will also prevent the, let's say, the a, you know, the feeling of fancy that they, let's say this getting me made out of some, an unfair treatment from the if it w h o give these are very clearly related because again, it's not necessary i mean, there is no guarantee that the restriction on the requirement will also be found the entering the new york and the the got the data and but at
8:17 am
least it will bank. i'm and also giving more until we know what is the current, what is the real that oh, he's in them. are you mad you know so far? yeah. if we're give up on time, learn about these new fi and, and the new study and also, and how we can easily. and again, i again urge that this is nuts. so we have been at the same phobia and it should be just apply it universally. and because vaccination was though, is, is this mass now with our global community really good to get your thoughts on this dicky berman? we appreciate your being with us and al jazeera, so thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you for the u. s embassy in cuba is resumed, full counsellor services and visa processing for the 1st time since 2017 officials
