and big companies around the checks empires are rising on a wealth of information and we need other commodity in the 2nd to provide policy re snotty, re examines where the corporations are colonizing the net, like popularity and power of big tax. on a jazeera, we understand the differences and similarities of culture across the world. so no matter where you call home will but you can use in current affairs that matter to you. there are people in the world walk all forms of verification to just go away. so we need people fighting against that. we are trying to see if it's a fake of you maybe consider, but in a different time. they risk a great deal to find out the truth in very complex situations that include major global players. we'd be targeted by cyber attacks from russia. they're all they just do this kind of work welling. cat truth in a post truth world on al jazeera. ah,

a handful of hotline republicans continue to hold out, refusing to support kevin mccarthy. a speaker in the us house of representatives? tar. ah, no, i'm mary. i'm the machine. you're watching algae zeros are coming from the program acts of heroism. oliver's events a help promote the storming of capitol hill. 2 years ago. israel security cabinet unveils tough sanctions against the palestinian authority of the when's top cause is asked to rule on my legality of occupation. and we look at fall out from the arrest of a mexican drug cartel, a 1000 troops deployed following a night of deadly violence. ah,

ah, now the u. s. house of representatives is in its 4th day of voting for its speaker . republicans many kevin mccarthy is fail for the 13th time to win and majority house has adjourned, and it's scheduled to return at about 5 hours time. but in the latest round of voting on friday, mccarthy wants support from 14 of the 20 republicans. it previously refused to back him, but it was still not enough for the 218 votes needed to secure the role. mccarthy had made further concessions in order to win that support. i think we're seeing the results of these really intense negotiations. there were a few people who actually had been, had an agreement on things that were important to them. but i think that was just kind of a march ration process that had to take place here. and that was, well, i agree. so i'm going to go vote right now. i think the people want to think about it. consider, but really over the last yesterday and a little bit the day before, as were many of these individuals, i think, began to change their minds. what might cana is life rest now from that capitol

hill? so kevin, coffee is make these concessions in order to win his opponents over why there's still some hard right, republicans that are refusing to support his bid for the role of speaker. well, that's a question that kevin coffee himself is asking. he's made these concessions. he's managed to flip 14 of the ultra conservative republicans, but he's still short of those 6 vote. 6 republicans still refusing to back him at this point as well. speaking to other republicans, it does appear that he's which the limit in terms of concessions he can make without alienating moderate republicans and losing votes to that particular faction as well. so he is in a bit of a dilemma, but at the same time he appears competent as that and evenings around the voting. they will be adjusting until 10 pm local time that he will get the votes necessary

. this is what mccarthy had to say. thank you. so we made some very good progress. we'll come back tonight. i believe at that time we'll have the votes to finish this once and for all. it just reminds me of what my father always told me. it's not how you start. it's how you finish, and now we have to finish for the american public because it took this long. now we learned how to govern. now if remember in the house, and if, if remember both, then mccarthy needs 218 votes. remembering that the republicans have only got 221 seats, a very slim majority. but this is not the end of it. it isn't effect a shifting threshold. because if people are not in the house, then the number of folks he needs changes. if somebody votes present but doesn't choose the candidate, then that threshold number changes as well. because one of the reasons why they've made this adjustment to give time for absent republicans. one for example, is that the birth of his baby son,

time to get back to washington to be present in the chamber so that if we single republican vote is made, this is critical. if kevin mccarthy is going to achieve his aim of becoming speaker of the house. well, thank you very much from capitol hill, mike kind of bring it over later. meanwhile, the united states is marked in 2 years since the attack on the capital u. s. president joe by miss been leading a ceremony where he's awarded police officers who defended the building an election officials who resisted pressure to overturn the results. on january 6th, 2021, then president donald trump delivered his speech near the white house. he urged his supporters to march to the capital building and quote, fight like hell against what he kind was voting, fraud. members of congress for taken to safety. as writers broke through barricades and stormed the building, trying to stop the certification of jo biden's presidential victory. our white house correspond kimberly how kit has more to mark the 2 year anniversary as the

cold by the russian president. ukraine rejected the offer and both sides now accusing each other of continuing with shelling. the temporary truth is to coincide with the orthodox christmas holiday. regional governor of harrison says one person was killed for others injured in russian shelling the fire station that took place for the cease fire crime. a tourist cause also attacked by rockets present. rosemary zalinski says the russian truce offer is an attempt to buy time just to get their troops into place. one of those all or what have given us is 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, albeit briefly to stop the advances of our boys in don bus and bring equipment ammunitions and mobilized troops. closer to our positions, what will that give them? you only get another increase in the total losses. and church services are taking

place in russia as well to mark the orthodox christmas holiday. president putin attended one service in an undisclosed russian location. he says the head of the russian orthodox church called the truth in ukraine. so believers could attend services. charles stratford has more on the story. now. he is reporting from ukraine's capital 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, apparition 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 gate. calling this a cynical ploy, giving the truancy 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 crane and 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 harder, 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. whether to peru now, whether top prosecutor is appointed a unit to investigate the death of $28.00 people during protest. last month. several men and children were killed in the andes when the army opened fire to protect the airport in the city. if i could show. just a warning that my own a sanchez's report from that does contain images that you might find disturbing. a
