scattered across the fuson mountains, our old amazon cities like this one, and then you get a magic word, original inhabitants of libya. here in this old city, there is evidence that dates back centuries and got that. he came to power. he showed to everybody, our culture became illegal to name our children music names. he removed our culture from history books, but we preserved our culture and secret younger view played an important role in the revolution that's help a long time leader martin that out bought their advice language. now, after more than a decade, they are able to open celebrate their heritage and culture. although libya has been engulfed in violence and political divisions since 2011 the amazon, you'd say they're happy with their new found freedom. ah

day for and kevin mccarthy, sales for the 13th time in his bid to beat us house speaker. but some hard liners have now switched in his favor. ah, we'll come back to night. i believe at that time we'll have the boat to finish this watson for all. ah, he watching out his air. i'm carry johnston also coming up. acts of heroism on earth as events saw hell to mark the storming of capitol hill 2 years ago. israel's security cabinet and bells tuft sanctions against the palestinian authority of the you and top court is asked to rule on the legality of occupation and the fall out from the arrest of a mexican drug, lord, 1000 troops are deployed following a night of violence.

ah, the you as the house of representatives is in its 4th day of voting for its speaker, republican nominee, kevin mccarthy has failed. the 13th time to win a majority. the house has adjourned on his schedule to return in about 4 hours time . the latest round on friday, mccarthy, one support from 14 of the 20 republicans who had previously refused to back him, but still not enough for a majority of boats. mccarthy has made further concessions to when that support will eisner to mike hannah, who's in washington. d. c. for us, so my cur, kevin mccarthy does seem to be getting closer to the votes. he needs well yes. in round 12 there was a glimmer of hope for mccarthy. in that 14 of the ultra conservative switched and cast their vote. in his favor assigned that there was a fracturing in that faction which has been constantly opposed to his or voting in

as the speaker of the house. but in the next round, he got one more vote. but then there still some 6 ultra conservatives who are continuing to hold out. and while they do so it's quite simple. mccarthy cannot get the majority needed to become speaker of the house. yet he remains confident that this is going to happen when the house convenes in a few hours time. this is what he had to say after the days sessions. i vaguely saw we made some very good progress. ah, we'll come back to night. 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 is not how you start is how you finish. and now we have to finish for the american public because it took this long. now we learned how to govern mike, he does seem confident there does any. so why the delay in holding another vote? well, what we're looking at here is what is the threshold needed for him to actually secure

victory? now, if every member of the house is present, and if, if remember both, then it's $218.00, which is a simple majority. but this threshold changes when there are people absent from the house or when somebody votes present, but doesn't vote for a candidate. so the threshold is constantly changing depending on how many members on the house at any given time. now it would appear that this adjournment happened now, because there are 2 republican voters who haven't been present in the house in the course of the day. one of them had to fly out to see the birth of his baby son. now this germans allows these to know makers to return to the house to boat, to get that threshold up to be most favorable for mccarthy. them is why he said he will finally get the votes and the 3, but so they all those hold out. he is going to need to look at least 2 or 3 of

those 6 are continuing to hold out. will you see as the evening goes on, whether he's successful in that one kind of life 1st in washington dc there. thank you. well, washington d. c is also mocking a dark day in its history. 2 years ago the u. s. capital was stormed off the vent press, and donald trump told his supporters to march the building and fight like hell. where he claimed there was widespread voter fraud in the presidential election. members of the us house representatives gathered on the steps of the capital building for a remembrance ceremony. they paid tribute to the officers who kept them safe. i remembered the 5 people who died, a white house correspondent, kimberly hawk. it has more to mark the 2 year anniversary as the january 6th riots when support. as a former president, donald trump sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. u. s . president joe biden on friday, awarded 12 people,

presidential metals election workers as well as long foresman officials for their role in what he says was a courageous act. standing up for democracy and pushing back against those. he says, sought to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. is not an exaggeration say america, oh oh you all. i really mean a debt debt of gratitude when we can never fully repair unless we live up to what you did more than 950 people have been arrested for their role in january 6, riots. and among those at least $350.00, have been convicted for a wide range of crimes including trespassing and destruction of property. a house committee looking into the january sex riots has also concluded that among those that should be charged. former president donald trump,

for his role in sparking the riots. israel has announced sanctions on the palestinian authority of it pushed that humans highest judicial body to give its opinion on the israeli occupation. a decision was taken at the 1st security cabinet meeting of the new government led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. last week, the un general assembly asked international court of justice to give an opinion on the legality of the occupation at the request of palestinian leaders. iran con 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. i'm just gonna run you through them . the 1st 2 are about money are 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 really victims of terrorism. and then what they're

going to do is any money that the palestinian authority is giving to palestine is as help as result of compensations. or 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. so 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 or to v i piece or who are leading the political and legal war against israel. what does that mean was that is going to make it much more difficult for them 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 ready them for the occupied, where spike either promot terrorist attack, the activity or any hostile activity. and that includes anybody working in the guise of humanitarian aid. so these are very tough sanctions, but israel's move has been condemned by the 2nd general, the palestine liberation organization. st. i'll shake, wrote on twitter that the measures amount to piracy, saying the pillow will not be discouraged from pursuing international institutions to expose israel's policies against palestinians. artillery fire has been heard in ukraine despite the shadows start of a 36 hour unilateral cease fall, cool bite. russian president vladimir putin. ukraine rejected the offer and both sides are accusing each other of continuing the shelling attempt truces to coincide with the orthodox christmas holiday. the governor of hassan says one person was killed and for others injured in russian shelling before the start of the ceasefire . charles stratford reports from keith as reported by the into fact russia 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 gate. calling this a cynical ploy, giving the unity to rush and 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 temperature get colder, as according to some military,

unless the ground gets florida enabling them to do so. so yeah, i just say we have no way of independently confirming this kind of information coming out of russia would. it would be consistent saying as if this was unilateral is declared by the russians and something that the ukrainians never agreed upon. while the request for the cease fire came from the head of russia's orthodox church patchwork carol, he led to christmas mass in moscow, which was attended by some of russia's top officials present. booting took part in mass at the cathedral in the kremlin grounds. last year. one of the 2 orthodox churches in ukraine brokerage tradition allowed christmas to be celebrated on december 25th. protests as have rallied in opposition held errors of syria to denounce moves to improve ties between damascus and turkey. the demonstrations of follow meetings between syrian turkish and russian defense ministers in moscow. protest is called for president bashar al assad government to be toppled. the

over the past few years at the very beginning, it was very much backing the c l position in achieving its objective. that is that one of their, you know, my shot, but i want the boss few years visually says about eyes i said, and the support of the us for the city and democratic forces. mainly, i mean the mainly for dish forces and city up that led to keep changing it position on the crisis. because that the objectives change a door because the northwest syria warning that a quarter outbreak will spread. if you and is forced to stop a deliveries from across the border and turkey will tens of thousands of cases have been reported in it live and aleppo since september. u. n has been shipping medicine across the turkish border since 2014. despite objections from the syrian government, the security council will vote on renewing the program on monday. but there are fears. russia may restrict its access. i am 23 rebels have handed back

a last earning to the government. the coalition continuing to prosecute our people and violating the process. fighting is fierce in some parts. government forces and the rebels have accused each other of starting the latest flare up in my c. c territory, an area rich in minerals. there was a big the rebel say they want to talk with a government, but kinshasa is reluctant to engage it accuses rhonda of supporting m 23. he galley denies that nationally, not about trusting, then the question process of an easy process. and that we know the things must be very dark in the ground. but we shall believe that at the end of the day, why not? because one that is the one acting beyond $23.00. thousands of congolese are continuing to flee from their homes to the chicago,

but it will not need to born. but i tried going back recently with my family, but the rebels of m 2 to 3 was still around my home area in cuba is still not safe for us. so we decided to return back to the camps. their houses have been graded, they cannot reach roads because of fighting. all this is a consequence of a conflict that has nothing to do with them. catherine saw all 0. so to come on, al jazeera, the west coast of united states proposed for more severe storms plus i'm ron reynolds at sea. yes. in las vegas, the world's biggest and most exciting consumer electronics show. some of the products on his way here might be the next big thing. ah
