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. we dont give in but yeah, the government says china's corporate lighting situation is under control and the worse of the outbreak is over. but here at one of the biggest hospitals, invading the wards 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's 88 years old is very challenging for people. he's aid to recover from this wires and burglar 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. officially, china has one of the lowest curve at 19 death holes in the world, but the backlog here and at hospitals nationwide tells a different story. katrina you out a 0 dating south korean health officials sake over 19 related data released by china is not transparent enough. soul is one of the countries that has imposed strict restrictions on arrival from china units. kim reports now required of short term arrivals from mainland china to board is a negative coven. 19 test result. in spite of this latest data from thursday show that there were at least 35 people who tested positive upon arrival, accounting for some 13 percent of short term entries that day in a regular briefing by health officials here. and so they recognize the room for

error siding, the viruses incubation period and indeed human error. but they also echoed caused by the world health organization for rapid regular and reliable epidemiological data to be issued by beijing. but that in the absence of that they will carefully collect their own what, not in south korea, east of most adjacent country to china. and as one the implement thorough anti virus measures. we understand the world is watching us. as such, we are working to produce attorney and commission related to china, not only for the protection of our people, but also the world. once we have enough analyses, we believe we'll be able to draw in direct conclusions of the situation in china. and in an update to that time, he is national who had fled his hotel quarantine oper testing positive to code on tuesday. authorities did find an arrest. the man, 2 days later, at a hotel in sol,

according to local reports, the 41 year old was found with his wife, who had tested negative to coven. upon entry authorities are promising stern punishment in line with local health codes. first by police and by immigration officials, which could lead to jail time or future entry bands. but 1st, the men must complete his 7 day warranty. for the 1st time in a 164 years, the vote for the us house speaker has been through 11 grounds over 3 days. and yet, republican contender, kevin mccarthy, is any closer to securing enough ballads to win over hard line republicans who are blocking his bed and not a round of voting will take place on friday, january the 6th. the 2nd anniversary of the attack on the capital. john hendrick, reports washington 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, 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 c 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. hakim 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 year's long ambition to run the house. the standoff 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, l g 0. capitol hill. the u. s. house speaker is one of the most powerful political positions in washington. d. c. a speaker is 2nd in line to the presidency and we'll take over a something. we're tap into both the president and vice president at the top. the jobs most important role is political as head of the major party, the speaker has near total control of what gets debated and voted on by the full house. a speaker can be a key ally of the president provided there from the same party, but when their rival says speaker becomes one the president's top opponents. rick wilson is a former republican strategist. he says that's happening. 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 block 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 a very difficult choice. right now. 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 into the party to stop making deals with, 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 or 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 debt ceiling. 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 milt or salaries to the folks that of that have earned those. i think we are going to see 9 months of chaos between now and september with the hard debt ceiling fight happens. don't leave home. that's the message from government authorities in mexico. a scalia can city the capital us in a low estate armed men have attached the airport and sealed off the city after the arrest of a powerful cartel leader of video guzman. lopez is a son of the imprison pharmacy. anela drank. nord al chapel flights have been cancelled towards a shot, and at least 3 people have been killed from mexico city, his manual, rob, hello, fiery roadblocks,

aero mexico confirmed that one of its commercial flights had been hit by gunfire before take off. this amateur video shows the moment passengers ducked for cover. i believe in 2019 mexican security forces detained, obese guzman, sparking a similar wave of violence that ultimately led to an order for mexican president and this manuel lopez all. 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, is to say so what was done with the arrest of this court leader leaves the criminal practicing duct. these goes beyond the cordele, because the corporal has a composition companies, banks, the government, and the military, and all of 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,

about the situation and the dangers of escalation. but their words were measured and liberated with little direct criticism of israel. the current situation will 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 ambassadors turn, he was dismayed by the fact the council was taking no action. what red line thus is the ill need to cross for the security council. to finally say enough is enough. it has displayed utter disregard for the sanctity of palestinian life, the sanctity of international law. and the sanctity of
