a very strange feeling when i 1st entered my brother's car, to the extent that i didn't know how to sit properly. it is a mix of feelings and emotions to see the sky without bars for the 1st time in 40 years. now will america, of course, in on july among con, all corresponding choices now live from our, the home village of kreme, eunice, and a significant develop in this man's decades long incarceration. many well wishes behind you, him run that's absolutely right. this tent has been set up in defiance of the israeli all forty's, israeli intelligence out, he visited the home of kareem, eunice, and they said to the family, you must not mark his release in any way the family have gone and done it anyway. and you can see the amount of people here, creaminess is just actually behind that group of well wishers over there. he's been greeting people throughout the morning. now he was released at around 5 30 am from prison in central israel. the authorities gave him

a card. he didn't actually know what that card was. it turned out to be a bus pass, or he was looking around for a phone booth as the last time he was free. or there were no mobile phones. eventually managed to get hold of his brother, his brother picked him up and bought him, brought him rather to her, his village. and he has been speaking. he has been talking, you heard him just there talking about his freedom, but it's worth noting her, her sale that this isn't actually part of any prisoner exchange. it's not part of any kind of benevolence from the israelis. he served every day of his sentence. now he was a rising star within the fatter central committee or one of the key political factions of palestine. he was a very well known figure, and he actually kept up his political activism from prison over those of 40 years with educating prisoners in the palestinian political struggle. it's a struggle and he has a still enormous amount of respect. he is 66 years old. oh,

we're not entirely sure what he'll do next, but he is now a free man. he served every day of that 40 year sentence in montana for us in our thanks very much. him no update. enron. thank you. but the united nations security council is set to hold a meeting later on thursday after israel's national security minister. and to the alex of mos compound. it's a mob been giving his actions on tuesday to be widely condemned as provocative palestine sam baset to the you and his calling for strong action against israel. the attack is not only against our holy sites in a lock, so mosque and, and the hum sharif there are because of this environment of extremism that this is the aly, extreme government, the extremist in the history of israel is providing is lay deemed to additional aggression against our christian sites, christian graveyards you've seen by now that there are crosses over, you know,

graveyards, being trampled upon and attacked by extreme settlers. this is a toxic environment. the international community has to speak with one voice or the blue together to james base has more from the united nations. well, there's 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 have long had diplomatic relations with israel . that is 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 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 or in jerusalem. he made it clear and reminded reporters of the year 2000 when the then the israeli opposition, leah ariel sharon went to the alex a mox 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, as doesn't want to see again. but for 3rd straight day, the us house of representatives will convene to try and pick any speaker. the last 2 attempts were unsuccessful with a group of hartline republicans again blocking kevin mccarthy's bid for the top job . as the 1st time in this century that the result was determined in the 1st votes. john hendern repulsed from capitol hill. it's a high stakes political stand off on one side, republican liter, kevin mccarthy, in most of his party on the other a cadre of strong willed republican rebels in 6 ballots. over 2 days mccarthy's mainstream republicans have failed to muster the votes, to elect him his speaker of the house of representatives. a speaker has not been elected. it was a scene of republican disarray, a block of 19 than 20, then 21,

mostly members of the freedom caucus repeatedly stopped the party leader from reaching the necessary 218 vote threshold. mccarthy began the 2nd day of voting with optimism with it. but the republican 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 being harder than quickly adjourned for a 2nd day. without a speaker. 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 of the majority needed to win. without a speaker, the house can't pass. laws make committee assignments or even swear in it's new

members leaving the united states without a functioning house of representatives. one democrat in particular, lamented the congressional chaos. it's embarrassing to the country. i mean, literally, i got part of this reality that you know, to be have on congress the can function is this embarrassing british nation? well, as republicans battled it out on the house floor, president joe biden joined republican senate leader mitch mcconnell at a bridge connecting kentucky in ohio, funded by a bipartisan infrastructure law. showing that even divided government can function when both sides cooperate. john henry l g 0. capitol hill, bahati hud camp is a former us democratic senator. she says it's clear the republican party has long been divided. why think it's playing out that the, the ongoing civil war within the republican party is playing out in front of people

in full and 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, he 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 on hand, and appearing for every vote, even though they know that hakim jeffries will not become speaker of the house, they are showing their unity. well, plenty more had here. all the news are including the latest from the democratic republic of congo, as non group says it will withdraw from another town. find out what that means, a government forces and trying to hit back accusations that if not telling the whole truth later have 19 outbreak over 40 wrong get ready to host football arabian and go cops. the 1st time in $44.00 is ah princesses lead a funeral man. so his predecessor, pope mirage is benedict, the 16th thousands of people gathered in saint peter's square to pay the final

respects. he died at the vatican monastery on saturday at the age of 95 benedict will be very to decrypt. in st. peter's basilica in 2013, he was the 1st pope to resign in 600 years. after his health declined, not the leaders of russia and turkey have discussed the war in ukraine and the rest in syria. present. retype are the ones office says he called on president vladimir putin to support a unilateral sci fi. and a fair solution anchor has previously been involved in mediation that led to the grain, colorado deal and same, same plans around the jap, richer nuclear power plant. it again is expected to speak to ukraine's lot of islam given the phone. later on thursday, the boxing is often described as ukraine's national sport. it's produced several well champions. one of them is the matter of keith, but many of its boxing talents are hanging up their gloves to fight on the front lines of charles strafford reports to machine

gun bullets ripped through alexander's legs when he was fighting on ukraine's eastern front line. the 3rd bullet was stopped by the mobile phone in his pocket. his sciatic nerve was severed. he cannot feel his right leg, and he is afraid, he will never be able to fulfill his goal in life. in a sport, ukraine is famous for around the world. boxing fair internet, it may just in or it is not just a part of my life or it is my life. why should i say it was so, but now i need to find something else range from. ah, is alexander competing in 2016, rose to become car key, regional champion before returning to fight in the war. last year, he lived in france, where he became regional champion in nice for more sir corman, a box and graced mazda personally because i grabbed his hour to father. how can

a mother race and man alone? i got into boxes and it radically changed me as a person. it hardened my character. and now my at the challenge is like being in the army or on the battlefield. or he and hospital i am holding on. i can take a punch be for school there, q and 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. what, what bilbry? this is former multiple world heavyweight title holder, and now mer of give charlie crisco visiting the frontline town of bar mort wearing the colors all 3 and this is current w b o w b a. and i b f, heavyweight champion,

alexander wilson. ah, they're a boxing jims like this one establish 40 years ago, right across ukraine. ah, men who used to train here and they are fighting on the front lines. some of these boxes may eventually do the same. all it could scope has been training have since he was 12, he joined the territorial defense unit when russia invaded last year or more of the war makes it more difficult to train. the when there's electricity and water available, training feels like a celebration. we are lucky at this gym compared to places like mary upon which fell to the russian and bach mood. we're fighting as heavy as we can come here. thanks to the men fighting on the front line. their guys were trained at this jim and are now fighting and some have been injured. they were warriors in the ring and they are warriors in life. for now,

all exams continues his grueling daily exercise. he can only hope he gets the operation he needs. so he can fight again. john stratford al jazeera keith, the m 23 rebels have announced i, withdrawing from another town in eastern democratic republic of congo. what they say is a pull out from a mangle, follows the alleged departure fighters from nearby cuba. that mcclintic republic of congo accuses are wender of backing him. 23. something that can jolly denies. the conflict has full thousands of people from the homes since 2021. not m. 23 is one of more than 100 on groups based in eastern congo. it emerge more than a decade ago when fi to sees the city of game on the border with rwanda. in 2013, the congress army on the you and backed force is defeated at $23.00, at its finest, fled to rwanda, and you can to the group then split into several factions,

by piecing that choice and respecting what made me make it, we go back to the british, i was more for having the what the commander at the end of the meeting. ok. so if you have confidence in sort of the neutral forces of the east african community regional for that known as eoc off your own military. describe the withdrawal statement by in $23.00 of kid boom, by late last year as a sham and accused the group of staying where they were and also regrouping in other areas. do you trust the m 23 right now? not trusting them. the process is to try the process and we know the things must be already packed in the ground, but we strongly that at the end of the day, why not? because he's the one acting beyond 23 will see respect for me,
