they speak a style. they drags on 11 failed votes, the kevin mccarthy, to lead the us house. as it a jones for a 3rd day. ah, loves the whole roman watching out as they are alive. my headquarters here in doha also coming up. okay with launching crisis, overwhelms hospitals and pants of china. there is more countries imposed travel restrictions do not just show up at the border. stay where you are and apply legally from the u. s. is to turn away cubans, haitians, nicaraguans, and venezuelans who try to cross the border illegally but offers a legal path to 30000 people among and violence in north west and mexico after the son of jail drug. lord al chapo is arrested. ah

welcome to the back of the us house of representatives remains in. cale says a deadlock continues after 3 days of voting for the next speaker after 11 votes. kevin mccarthy isn't any closer to securing the top job. drill 100. 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 republicans seem 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 take 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, 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 have so far stopped mccarthy's years. long ambition to run the house. the stand off persists despite as 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. 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, hospitals in crematorium, in china, overwhelmed as the coven. 19 crisis continues. the world health organization says hospital admissions and deaths sobbing under reported which beijing denies greece, germany, and sweden have joined more than

a dozen other countries to impose testing on travelers from china. katrina, you has more from beijing in the fever clinic of this bulletin hospital. the body of a patient is taken away to a hallway filled with people infected by covert. 19 beds and rooms are in short supply a sudden lifting of virus restrictions last month sparked a nationwide surgeon cases. it's forced staff to transform this hospital knobby into a makeshift ward for extra patience. dozens, mostly elderly, are being monitored by a few doctors and nurses. medical staff are under immense pressure. many have fallen ill themselves. here they've been instructed not to speak to media, movies we dont give in the, with the government says china, covered lighting situation is under control and the worst of the outbreak is over. but here at one of the biggest hospitals, invading the wards or so overflowing with people,

and many have had to wait hours to see a doctor. long queues fill emergency rooms. some who were turned away last week like this man, a trying a 2nd time. oh, why, but there are more than 100 people before me. what you can do? just wait. my father is 8 years old. is very challenging for people. he's 8 to recover from this wires. i'm very glad he still alive. others aren't so fortunate. this crematorium and paintings east is inundated with families, waiting for the remains of their loved ones to be attended to. one man who didn't want to be filmed told us, a recent influx has led to delays. socially, china has one of the lowest covered 19 death holes in the world, but the backlog here and at hospitals nationwide tells a different story. katrina, you al jazeera dating ukraine's president ladonna zalinski has dismissed

a proposal by russian president vladimir putin for a temporary cease fire. hoot, an ordered a $36.00 are true starting on friday to coincide with the orthodox christmas holiday. zelinski says russia is attempting to stop a ukrainian advance in the dumbass region, or keith insist, there'll be no truce. all 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's suggestion that we heard from an adviser in the president's office, mikhail cordelia. 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. united states is expanding restrictions to excel cuban nicaraguan and haitian migrants court crossing the mexico border illegally president joe biden. announced

the new rules on thursday in his 1st major speech on border security since taking office. phil laval has more from miami. i knew yet you arrivals on a new plan by president joe biden. a slowing the rising tide of migrants trying to answer the us illegally. today, my administration is taking several steps to stiff and enforcement for those who tried to come without a legal right to say and to put in place a faster processor. i was as a faster process to decide a claim of a style 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 migrants a month. those with sponsors and to pass background checks will be allowed into the u. s. 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 sea 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 arrivals last year, way up from the 2021 number of 1900000. we anticipate 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 u. s. milan and another measure ab 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, but before you jump from the 2nd floor, please go to your computer, get on mine schedule an interview, go to the conflict, 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 systems have to honor and recognize that context. the new policy has the land border firmly and its sites. but in florida, where the border is at the water, the question is, how will it work here? florida is republican governor has made it very clear where he stands on a legal migration run. the census hasn't just spoken out against it. he is actively helped other republican states move my prince to democratic areas. remember, this is a man who will though he hasn't formerly said it yet, is widely expected to declare a run for presidency in 2024. if that does happen, expect a lot more focus on the border, particularly the maritime border. in the coming months, phil of al al jazeera miami, the un security counsellors held an emergency meeting on the recent developments of the alex and mosque it occupied east jerusalem. on tuesday, israel's new security minister is a mob been given, entered the most compound, an intrusion that was widely condemned or diplomatic added to james bay's reports.

now from the un around the security council table members expressed concern about the situation and the dangers of escalation. but their words were measured and limited with little direct criticism of israel. the current situation with inflammatory rhetoric lead in the wrong direction, and we are concern by any unilateral acts that exacerbate tension or undermine the viability of a 2 state solution. the u. k. is committed to working with all parties to uphold the status quo in jerusalem. when it was the palestinian ambassador's turn, he was dismayed by the fact the council was taking no action. what red line does is that i will need to cross for the security council to finally say enough is enough. it has displayed, i thought, a disregard for the sanctity of palestinian life. the sanctity of

international law. and the sanctity of al, had a mis shareef. 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, these railey prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said his new government's support continued, settlement across palestinian land, further undermining that internationally desired outcome. so what exactly is these ready position? i tried to get an answer from the countries ambassador does the current israeli government support a 2 state solution with jerusalem as the shared capital of both countries? yes or no. it's really simple. i know you're, i'm not you. you can decide for me if whether to give you an answer of yes or no. okay, you shouldn't have quite a simple chris 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 the, legitimize not in frontier me. you are, sir. and i'm asking you a simple question about the main point of policy timing 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. let us know as opposition has replace one guido, as head of the so called interim government, that he 50 countries had recognized him as the legitimate leader. but his supporters have lost faith in god. his ability to al's to present nicholas madeira asunder and p 80 has more from neighboring colombia. thursday's vote was the last mailing the coffin for the leadership of one glad dog man. that was the face of

venezuela, the position for the last 3 years. i'm a joy, see, i've been as well as opposition shadow congress, backed by the united states and other western nation, voted to and is so called the answering governments and replace them with 3 exile lawmakers. the not, i forget my dna left this and said i've asked who promised to return unity where weekend and divided opposition as it will now seek a single candidates for the next presidential elections in 2024 y dot called the move and then constitutional error, it wouldn't be that it's difficult to talk about unity today amidst the divided. so the discussions of past days. but we need to overcome party and personal interests, unite the country and protect the constitution. the dictatorship cannot be the want to fill this void deeply. developing the new leadership well, also announced

a 5 member commission to manage the venezuela foreign assets that were under way those control among them us based oil refinery fisco and over $1000000000.00 us dollars in gold held by the bank of england. even if many fear the end of those governments could eventually return these assets to the administration of president nicholas and due to the u. s. government, so far as said that it will continue to support the position efforts in the country, whatever form they will take. but there is no doubt that the divisions among the opposition benefits president nichol asthma would or who remains firmly and power and the government fact, farley. i mean there was also now he rated on thursday. we'll still had here on al jazeera bolivia is blocked highways. protests against the rest of the government. continue for a 2nd. stay on the royal bust of britain's prince. henry made startling revelations

a similar wave of violence that ultimately led to an order for mexican president and this manuel lopez. oh, but i thought to release him. security experts, however, argue that despite the high profile nature of the arrest, the long term impact for the sinaloa cartel itself is negligible to say. so what was done with the rest of this court leader leaves the criminal practicing duct. these goes beyond the cartel, because the corporal has accomplishing companies, banks, the government, and the military, and all that remains intact. the capture of a video whose mind in sinaloa, comes just days before a scheduled visit to mexico by u. s. president joe biden, and canadian prime minister just in trudeau for a summit of north american leaders where they plan to discuss among other topics multilateral security strategy. manuel did apollo al jazeera mexico city. there is no end. no, pardon me. there is no end in sight to the protests that have rocked the bolivian

what happened in 2019 was a cool. but people, you say that even what alice committed fraud, and that is why he were forced out of all the people here are convinced that the countries, judiciary, you've been used to go after political opponents. and that's why we will come out and others were detained. and that's why many i vowing to remain on the streets because they believe that this country's democracy is at risk. but not everyone agrees. bowel are you lot on the shopping center growth. she says that she was attacked by those who oppose in the government of what i leave. many, i now come much supporters. she dared question the protest that were hurting her business and says she's afraid the same thing could happen again. we do a lot of my children called me and told me not to come home because people are outside and they're going to set us on fire. i have 2 children who are disabled. so imagine what i felt then they took my phone off and made me neil,

the international community has asked the government to guarantee governor camerac right to a fair trial until then he will remain in pre trial detention while he supporters continue to protest to get him released. something that is unlikely to happen any time soon. there is, i will and jesse their center group, bolivia, they're one of the philippines talk, police officials is offered to resign in an effort to encourage others linked to legal drugs to do the same. the announcement by the chief of police comes after the interior secretary asked hundreds of high ranking officers to step down to me was aimed at expelling those involved in the drug trade bonding below explains now from manila responsible. it was a surprise moves and a radical one. on wednesday, the philippines interior secretary ben her avalos asked for the resignation of all pleased colonels and generals jesus lumala, bus number. lucky and probably,

emma, it appears that there is a big problem in our police force. it appears that there are general and colonels involved in drugs. now it is difficult to fight a war against a little drugs if suppose allies could shuttle back when it, the glint around. really the thrust of the people a series of state has led to the arrest of at least 2 senior anti drug officers and a seizure of almost a ton of better, better me. thousands of people died in the warren drugs waged by former president would be good to 30 many were st dealers and casual drug users. but throughout his 6 year term, the 3rd, the always claim he had the evidence that high ranking police officials were also involved. abilene submits his call from mass resignations is a shortcut, but he says only those were found to have leased to drug trade will actually be let go. police leadership says they will comply,

but human rights groups are concerned that the ministers request undermines due process. many of these, but his generals, i mean they have rights to, i mean, i don't think it's fair to expect them to abandon those rights in their sphere that cases of abuse by the police will be swept under the rug. the anticipated that other all of this mr. ross might say, oh, but they resign, they're no longer in the service of his clothes and in that sense that he's had to serve isn't a victims of the drug. wow. so far, only a handful of cops involved in drug ward killings have been convicted. the government refuses to be subjected to an independent probe by the international criminal court. but the rights group say no matter what the i c, c must stay the course binder. below al jazeera bonilla, britain's prince harry maintains that his brother, prince william physically attacked him 3 years ago. that you could sussex makes
