lots and lots of women are lightly agenda a kind of anti feminist agenda. and to man the truth, those the size of fascism, we have to really recognize what we're up with here. we are determining what is the future of democracy in this country. join me markham, on hill for up front on al jazeera pom counseling the cost. we look at what's in store for real estate, just the risk of a global recession increases. why millions of homeowners in the years i had a highly exposed to rate rises during any economic downturn, and we ask, what you might want to do to protect yourself. counting the cost on al jazeera. ah, knowledge is here. with you. oh mm ah.

a lever rounds of votes and still no speeches. the u. s. house remains powerless as it mocks. 2 years since the capsule was stolen by supporters of dull trouble. ah valeca, this is al jazeera alive from dough. so coming up russia's 36 hour si, fi comes into effect, but ukraine says it's a ploy to stop its troops advancing at eastern dumbass, punishing measures. the serenity government says it will take action against the palestinian authority after it approached the un no. for the occupation plus here i wanted to make a profit of invading the want. i so overflowing with people and money have to wait hours to see dr. most, but it was in china, run the pressure from rising cove. it 19 infections just days before the country

reopens its buddhism ah. brightest. just go home. 1700 g m t. that's 12 o'clock in washington dc. 2 years ago at this time ben u. s. president donald trump was beginning a speech where he told his supporters to march over to the capital building and fight like hell. politicians we were taken to safety as the riots is stormed, the building an attempt to stop the certification of jo biden's presidential victory members of the house of representatives gathered on the steps of the capital building to pay tribute to the members of law enforcement who kept them safe. the january 6th insurrection shocked our republic to the corps for many in the congress and across the country. the physical, psychological, and emotional scars are still raw. yet from the unspeakable horror sprang,

extraordinary heroism, law enforcement heroes confronted the insurrection is to protect the capital, the congress and our constitution, and is with great respect and admiration, that we are joined by the families this morning. thank you to the families for considering us worthy to share your grief to honor your loss. for this all comes in the house remains politically deadlocks. republican kevin mccarthy has lost 11 votes in the last 3 days as a group of his own party members block has been to become the new speaker. it's the 1st time since 1859, that the battle for the roll has gone on for quite this long. well, we've got to correspondence a washington dc covering the events can be how could the white house and mike hannah or the capital capital the hell mike to you 1st, of course we've seen multiple rounds of voting. are we any step closer vote ending

this deadlock? well, we'll find out in a few minutes when the house reconvenes, there was a conference call among republican legislators about an hour and a half ago. no news about what happened within that call came out. but it does appear that the concessions have been made, but they are not achieving the breakthrough at this particular time. the issue here is a matter of numbers. the republicans have that slim majority, only $222.00 seats against the democrats, $212.00. now mccarthy needs 218 seats and majority to become speaker of the house. with this hold up by the far right wing of the party. this is just not achievable at this particular point. hence you've had this 11 rounds of voting with mccarthy not being able to achieve that figure of 218. so attempts are under way to persuade these pod right. stan dobbs to actually come in behind to accept the concessions

that mccarthy is willing to make. and to get ahead with doing house business. because what's the issue here is simply everything has ground to a halt. the house cannot pass. legislation payrolls cannot be carried out. if there's a domestic or international crisis, the house would simply be able to respond. so this is a police crisis which as you mentioned, is nearly last occurred some 2 centuries ago. a mike were saying it's exactly 2 years since the assault and the capital cost, an incredibly long shot over the entire democratic process there in the united states. given what we're seeing of a house where people thinking on this important day the well, let's just take that linkage between what happened on january the 2 years ago and what is happening today. a very important linkage is those 20 right wingers of those. the ones who are holding up the formation of the house 12 denied the results

of the 2020 election. none of them actually condemned the events of january the 6. so the is a linkage. these hog right wing characters who are holding up the, the formation of the house. our election denies most of them. first of all. secondly, they have not condemned at any stage the insurrection of january the 6. so that is that particular linkage among republicans generally there has been an attempt throughout the past 2 years to play down the significance of those events following the lead of donald trump, who has been accused of being the major cause behind that insurrection. and this, despite the fact that to date the f b, i has lost some 1000 prosecutions of people in both in the insurrection on january the 6th. so on one part of the house here, particularly among republicans, there has been an attempt to down play. what happened, they continue to do so within the democrats, of course,

occasion full morning in terms of those events that happened on january the 6 bringing the house and the cavity congress generally into the direct line of political attack. mike live on capitol hill. thank you. an over to kimberly how good now, who's standing by outside the white house and kimberly we've seen lawmakers earlier on standing on the steps of the capital holding her a somber moment of reflection. but how is the president himself marking this important day? well, the u. s. president is also going to do his part to elevate those that he believes stood up for democracy 2 years ago when there was the storming of the capital. when supporters of former president donald tribe sought to overturn the results of the presidential election. and it did so through political violence,

and so he was to elevate them and honor them. so he will be handing out around 20 g m t. ah presidential metals to honor not only those and stood up, but to really tell their story. some who lost their lives in the process, including a capital police officer who died in the days following those events from, with the washington medical examiners. that was a stroke and also a michigan secretary of state who resistant political pressure to overturn the election results in her state. so these are just some of the stories of the characters involved in what the president believes were heroic acts to stand up for american democracy. what the president believes this is very much at contrast if you will too much of the violence and also the antics that are going on today. but

also happened 2 years ago. the president is really trying to kind of offer a split screen if you will, in terms of how the government can be run in the united states. what he's trying to say is that the risk to a democracy may have happened 2 years ago, but he believes that that risk still exist today. and so that is why he is a sort of commemorating the events of 2 years ago. but reminding people that if there is still not this sort of reminder and this warning that these types of events can happen again, right? a reminder that democracy is fragile and hard one longer the white house can be, how could thank you. now present bloody, amid putins unilateral cease fire has come into effect in ukraine. but both sides accuse each other of ongoing attacks. ukraine's leader dismissed a 36 hour pause in fighting that coincides with the orthodox christmas holiday,

followed me. as lensky says, russia was attempting to stop the ukrainian advance in the dumbass region, gift or given us those who continued the terror against our country and sent all these people of yours to be slaughtered, rejecting our proposals to stop russian aggression. definitely do not value life and moreover, do not strive for peace. they now want to use christmas as a cover all the a briefly to stop the advances of our boys end on bus and bring equipment. i, munitions, and mobilized troops closer to our positions. what will that give them? only yet another increase in that total losses. shall stratford reports now from keith. as reported by the into fact, russian state media, they are quoting, the russian defense ministry is saying that russian positions have come under attack in various locations along the eastern front line in the guns. don't ask and ins, parisha. of course, we have no way of independently verifying this information,

but it would be consistent with what we know was a rejection of this sci fi by the ukrainians. presence of these great calling this a cynical ploy. giving the shooty to russians, potentially to move men and equipment closer to the front lines. and this comes in the context of renewed phase actually escalating phase amongst the ukrainian military cranium government. they convinced that there is going to be a renewed offensive by the russians in the coming weeks and months as the temperatures get colder, as according to some military, unless the ground gets farther, enabling them to do so. so yeah, as i say, we have no way of independently confirming this kind of information coming out of russia. what it would be consistent seeing as if this was unilateral is declared by the russians and something that the ukrainians never agreed upon. daniel hawkins in

moscow base journalists, he says the head of the russian orthodox church likely had the cremeans of backing before calling for the cease fire. well, certainly the seas fall announcement came more of a surprise to most russians. and the fact that subsequently broken down and was came on the back of a phone call between the russian and turkish presidents with wasn't a bad one, acting in the mediated to put pressure on pollution to announce this unilateral cease for. and of course, be inserted widely as it be escalation by the crime in which you will not see much short minutes hopefully. so you have the last few months would be circle partial level of ation and widespread across the whole of ukraine. the criminal of course will statement very often conversation, also saying that any dollar would only be possible if you train met the company demands, which was totally unacceptable to the recognition of territories which rush at times. so on the back of that, i think this was quite a surprise to many russians all be

a positive one. and the question was perhaps more of this is a one time response from food into the cool bought nature real for the truth. or if this was pre planned as a sort of p r, a ration if you'd like, because if i'm likely the paid for is very supportive of this conflict. would have done this without approval from the operations of power in the permanent, it's all about the truth was in some ways, if not set up to fail, perhaps expect to fail because of course, the respond negatively to this proposal from the very start. as soon as it came from the patriarchy real, and of course this also in some ways fitting with the comes version of events that they're the one seeking piece. they're the one seeking tubes, and a diplomatic solution. and if here who are the ones being the obstacle to this sacred time for christians, you say the government says it will impose when it caused punitive measures against the palestinian authority. after it approached the un over the occupation of jose, the un security council held an emergency session after the intrusion into the alex

and most compound by israel's national security minister to mob been given the move and good palestinians and provoked international condemnation. last week, the un general assembly asked the international court of justice to give an opinion on the legality of the occupation. there has been reaction from the secretary general of the palestinian liberation organization, who st. i'll shake, wrote on twitter that the measures equate to piracy of palestinians money and they will not discourage them from pursuing international institutions to expose israel's policies against palestinians. among current has more from occupied east jerusalem. on thursday, the national security cabinet met for the 1st time this year and they swung into action, implementing a number of sanctions against the palestinians. we're just going to run you through them. the 1st 2 are about money and now they're going to stop transferring money to the palestinian authority. and instead that money will be used to compensate what

they calling victims of terrorism is ready victims of terrorism. and then what they're going to do is any money that the palestinian authority is giving to palestine is itself is result of compensations. and when it comes to the actions during the occupation, they going to offset that cash. and then we're going to give it to the palestinian authorities. those are the 2 financial ones that are also placed a moratorium on construction in area see in the occupied west point, which is effectively hollister encouraging what they say to the palestinians is your structures. anything that you construct now will be a legal dis, what 5 is actually p a territory. then other going to deny benefits at vi piece or who are leading the political and legal will against israel. what does that mean? was they just gonna make it much more difficult for them to have to leave the occupied westbank to go to international meetings to go and travel abroad? they're just going to make it as difficult as possible. then finally,

and this is alarming humanitarian aid organizations, they say that action will be taken against organizations and. ready judea and samaria was these ratings him for the occupied westbank either promote terrorist attack activity or any hostile activity. and that includes anybody walking into the guise of humanitarian aid. so these are very tough sanctions. ah, well, the chinese authorities of urged people to limit the number of trips and gatherings ahead of the loot a new year because of the coven 19 outbreak. they've stopped short of banding travel altogether. hospitals and crematorium are under pressure. and such and such . katerina, you reports from beijing in the fever clinic of this bloating hospital. the body of a patient is taken away to a hallway filled with people infected by carver. 19 beds and rooms are in short supply. a sudden lifting of virus restrictions last month sparked
