my people explore an abundance of world class programming on al jazeera activists, radical and the founder of african cinema pouches. even the world tells the story of the more italian direct. but i still making the style for that he made the brake fluid sooner and find a way to noon eastern. i'm looking to mode was a fighter that his weapons were his mind and his intelligence met honda, rebel african, tell me on how to see and we understand the differences and similarities of culture across the world. so no matter why you call her hand out, you 0 will bring you the news and current affairs that my tv out is derrick ah,

the speaker stalemate drags all 11 failed votes for kevin mccarthy to lead the u. s . house, as it jones, by 3rd day. ah, alonzo rama your watching over 0 life my headquarters here in the also coming up. do not just show up with the border. stay where you are and apply legally from the us to turn away. cubans, haitians, nicaraguans of venice wayland, who trying to cross the border illegally. but off as the legal path to $30000.00 people a month. russia's president ought as a temp received far in ukraine to celebrate orthodox christmas move rejected by keys and violence in north western mexico. after the sudden the jail drago del chapo is arrested. ah,

welcome to the program, the us house of representatives rains. and cale sat as a deadlock continues up to 3 days of voting for the next speaker after 11 votes. kevin mccarthy isn't any closer to the top job. john hendern. how's the story from capitol hill for kevin mccarthy. day 3 was deja vu over 3 days. mccarthy has been nominated for speaker of the us house of representatives . time and time again. i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy. i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy. i write to nominate kevin mccarthy, a speaker of the house. in time after time, the republican leader has faced humiliating defeat, failing to win the majority of votes needed to get the job. a speaker has not been elected. yet most republican seemed willing to continue following their leader. for now, i think what's important that's easily forgotten is that democracy is messy,

and i don't think we've necessarily taken this too long yet. the honorable hakim jeffries of the state of new york has received 212 time and time again. democrats applauded as their leader akeem jeffries won the most votes, though, also short of the needed majority. this is the dangerous moment for americans and for the world. one of the reasons why the congress needs to organize. there are public health vulnerabilities. it's one of the reasons why the congress needs to organize, and republicans need to get their act together. a block of 20 rebel republicans, mostly from the ultraconservative freedom caucus, plus one republican voting present had so far stopped mccarthy's years, long ambition to run the house. the stand off persists despite a series of last minute confessions. mccarthy made among them

a promise to allow just one member of congress to call a vote to remove the speaker that would make him perhaps the weakest speaker in american history. like the so called never kevin block, nominated a series of other republicans like taking advantage of the fact that the speaker doesn't have to be as sitting member one. congressman nominated donald trump for the office mccarthy currently occupies without the title. trump received one vote and i would like to know what the basis is to allow somebody to occupy the speaker's office who comes in 2nd place. 10th grade times. mccarthy has now faced more ballots than any candidate in over a 160 years as the impasse approaches day for john henderson, al jazeera capitol hill. rick wilson is a former republican strategist to co founder, the lincoln project. a group full little position to donald trump. he says what's happening is not good news for kevin mccarthy. well look, i think this is the for kevin mccarthy, perhaps the end of the beginning,

but there is no sign. the sub lock is breaking in the short term. it only takes of the $21.00 members who oppose mccarthy publicly. it only takes 5 of them to continue this. this particular charade indefinitely. um, so mccarthy faces very difficult choice right now. of the chaos is going to continue to rise. it's going to become less rather than more stable. and we're going to see, i think an awful lot of pressure coming on. mccarthy, from folks in the, in the more moderate one of the party, the very small, moderate one of the party to stop making deals with a, with this chaos caucus of the, of the hard right market types. and the market types are going to continue to pressure kevin mccarthy, to give up more and more of his power either way. he even if he wins, he loses at this point, the debt ceiling vote, every member of the freedom clock is not just the 20 who are causing the trouble right now. but every member, the freedom caucus has said to mccarthy hard, no,

you may not raise the dead sea. well, it's, it's, it's, it's a great talking point if you're a far right. you know, libertarian, it's not as great if you are going to plunge the country into an economic and fiscal crisis, because we don't pay social security, medicare, medicaid, and military pension and military salaries to the folks that of that of earned those. i think we are going to see 9 months of chaos between now and september with the hard debt ceiling fight happens. united states is expanding restrictions to rapidly expel cuban nicaraguan impatient migrants called to legally crossing the us mexico border. present joe biden announced the new measures on thursday in his 1st major speech on board security since taking office fil thou has more from miami. ah, a new year new arrivals and a new plan by president joe biden, aimed at slowing the rising tide of migrants trying to answer the us illegally.

today, my administration is taking several steps to stiffen enforcement for those who try to come without a legal right to stay. and to put in place a faster processor, i was as a faster process to decide. a claim of a sale that you measure would create a legal opiate narrow pathway for the growing number of cubans, nicaraguans and haitians making their way north of to $30000.00 migrants a month. those with sponsors and to pass background checks will be allowed into the us to live and to work the 2 years. but they will have to travel by plane. if they try to smuggle themselves in by land or by say, and get caught. they will be bought. the numbers of illegal migrants has exploded in recent years, particularly at the land border states like california, texas, arizona. so more than $2700000.00 arrivals last year. way up from the 2021 number of 1900000. we're dissipate, this actually is going to substantially reduce the number of people attempting,

attempting to cross our southwest border without going through a legal process. this week, the arrival of hundreds of migrants from cuba forced the closure of a national park of the coast of florida. on thursday, they were moved to the us mainland. and another measure aimed at reducing the number of illegal migrants. the u. s. is just resumed visa concert services in cuba . it's hoping more people will follow this legitimate route instead. if you are in a burning building, it does not seem right to say that before you jump from the 2nd floor, please go to your computer, get online, schedule an interview, go to the consulate, come back to the burning building. wait for a couple of months and then you can jump right when somebody has to flee to be alive, they have to flee, and our system talk to honor and recognize that context. the new policy has the land border fairly at its sites. but in florida, where the border is at the water, the question is how will it work? here florida's republican governor has made it very clear where he stands on

a legal migration run the census house and just spoken. i was against that. he is actively held other republican states, move migrants to democratic areas. remember, this is a man to, although he hasn't formally set it yet, is widely expected to declare run for presidency in 2024. if that does happen, expect a lot more focus on the board, particularly the maritime border in the coming months. fin lavelle, i'll just era miami, ukraine's president to ms. lewinsky has dismissed a proposal by russia's president vladimir putin for a temporary cease fire boot in order to 36 are true. starting on friday to correspond with the orthodox christmas holiday. zelinski says russia is attempting to stop the ukraine in advance in the dumbass region. give insists, i'll be no trace or peace talks until all russian troops leave ukrainian territory . charles stratford has more from keith. this initially comes from a suggestion made by the, the moscow patriarch, carol, russia, patriarch. carol,

they're looking for they study success these 5 from about, well, from mid day, which effectively would be all, all that was christmas christmas eve, right? the way through the next day, christmas day until 12 midnight. and it was a response to the patriarch carol suggestion that we heard from an adviser in the president's office. mchale police, and he just call this a cynical trap. let me just give you a little bit of background here. there's a very create a very interesting sort of change of atmosphere in ukraine that is gathering place in as far as a move away from fundamentally unorthodox christmas here because many ukrainians associate orthodoxy with russia and by default russian aggression. so for example, christmas that is just gone by the office for the, for the julian calendar that now is being gradually pushed for by many people and

you're going to be celebrated on the 24th and the 25th. there's also the issue that in 2019 the ukrainian church basically was set up a stablish that has no affiliation whatsoever with the moscow patriarch, the united states in germany, both sending more of the golden combat equipment to ukraine. the u. s. is sending about 50 bradley fighting vehicles while germany is providing that market equipment . both are considered powerful options to take on russian alma. now germany is also joining the u. s. and send to get patriot missile defense system. the unsecured hell that emergency meeting on the recent developments of the alex a mosque in occupied east jerusalem on tuesday. israel's new security minister and it a mob been given and to the mos compound an intrusion that was widely condemned. our diplomatic editor james base has more from the you and in new york. around the

al had i'm a sheriff. he warned the council. the situation could turn into an uprising all 15 members of the security council restated as they always do their commitment to a 2 state solution. however, in recent days, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said his new government supports continued settlement across palestinian land, further undermining that internationally desired outcome. so what exactly is the israeli position? i tried to get an answer from the country's ambassador. does the current israeli government support a 2 state solution with jerusalem as the shad capital of both countries? yes or no. it's really simple. i i you're, i'm not you. if you can decide for me if whether to give you an answer of yes or no . okay. you shouldn't have quite a simple quiz should ask for, is the president abbas why he refuses to come to the negotiating table?

why he refuses to recognize the right of the jewish people to a stay to the why he keeps trying to deal legitimize not in from kim is luasa. and i'm asking you a simple question about the main point of policy time and again to the policy tina . he continued to deflect, not answering whether israel accepts the key position of the entire international community which is enshrined in legally binding security council resolutions. boy james bays al jazeera of the united nations. israel is released its longest hold palestinian prisoner israeli authorities freed cream. eunice is also in israeli citizen. we've been in detention for 40 years. convicted in 1983 of killing him israeli soldier in the golan heights. the palestinian israeli was initially condemned to life imprisonment, but his substance was later can still have it on al jazeera levies. not highways
