lesson that joins up requires a weather across northern parts of mexico. some heavy rain will set to pick up and believe, as well as southern parts of mexico. but for the caribbean, the heavy rain that we've been seeing across the dominican republic starts to ease showers, stretching all the way, however, from southern parts of mexico down to panama city. and of course, that joins up with a rational, intense storms stretching all the way down to coastal areas of brazil. ah, on the counter mc caused, 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 at 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

day 4 and kevin mccarthy fails the 13th time in his bid to b. u. s. house speaker. but some hard liners have now switched in his favor. ah, this is al jazeera, i'm carry johnston, also coming up acts of heroism. ana does event so hell to mount the storming of capitol hill. 2 years ago. israel security cabinets and bales itself, sanctions against the protestant authority of the you, ends at talk. court is asked to rule on the legality of occupation. and the fallout from the arrest of a mexican drug, lord, 1000 troops are deployed following a night of violence. ah.

after days of deadlock, republican leader kevin mccarthy's moving closer to securing the number of votes needed to be elected. speaker of the us house of representatives, a small group of ultra conservative republicans continued to oppose his bid. mike conner reports from capitol hill. kevin mccarthy, of the state of california has 214 on the 4th day and in the 12 round of voting a glimmer of hope for kevin mccarthy. 14 of those republicans who had been opposing him finally cost votes in his favor. but another 7 ultra conservatives continue to vote. again, jeffrey effectively blocking his plan to the speakers chair party. those who flipped apparently enticed by a series of concessions made by mccarthy, in terms of how the house will be run. these include the promise of seats on influential committees and an agreement that it will only require one member to demand the leadership vote at any time. rather than

a majority of all republican house members, there were a few people who actually had been, had an agreement on things that were important to them. but i think it was just kind of a maturation process 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 is where many of these individuals i think began to change their minds. in the 13th round, mcafee picked up another republican vote. that remains at least 3 votes. short of getting majority, the margins are so race and that every vote counts. even on the democrat side. representative david trone came straight to vote in round 13 off the surgery in the morning. receiving applause from his party colleagues, still in his hospital sucks. his boat effectively added to the tele against mccarthy. by keeping the threshold to win as high as possible. all eyes on this shifting threshold. it's based on the number of members who are actually in the

house and vote, because these best charms now would appear to get the 2 absent republicans bank to vote. in a procedural vote, the house decided to adjourn for some 6 hours. the house speaker, candidate confident, now that victory is near, we made some very good progress. we'll come back tonight. i believe at that time we'll have the vote to finish. just want to just remind you of what my father always starts. full days and 13 rounds of voting and a series of concessions. but kevin mccarthy's battle is still not one mckenna ultra 0. washington. well, in fisheries live 1st, that's a capital hill and not long to go before yet another attent. while kevin mccarthy obviously hoping that it's going to be 14th time lucky at what is

interesting is that the delayed the vote for 6 hours to get to republican congressman back into washington. d. c. one had been attending the birth of his 1st child at obviously mccarthy. thanks with those votes. he will do enough, some representatives of him seeing who they won't vote for kevin mccarthy, but they might vote present which could be enough to push him over with the complicated math of the house of representatives to give kevin mccarthy this seat that he has. so a desire, remember he moved in to the speaker suite on the 1st of january, it would have been humiliating if he had to pull out and he's been seeing since the start. they've got the votes. the question is, of course, just what has he given away and concessions? now we know that there's going to be a change in the rules that allows rank and file members to challenge the speaker. it used to be a majority of the party. no, it will be just one member that can call for a conference foot. and that could lead to farther problems with kevin mccarthy

because he's got to try and keep this very desperate group of republican congress men and women together. particularly when it comes to pushing through an agenda and also making sure that the investigations that they want to get underway and to the biden administration can actually take place. there's another indicator that we think kevin mccarthy is confident enough that he has the votes. that is quite simply because the house is put out. what is going to happen after the vote? they haven't done that for the last 4 days. and the intention is if mccarthy wins the speakership, then there will be a swing in of all the members of congress immediately after something that could take into 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. it's obviously an important position, the speaker. it drives the agenda in congress. but another important thing to remember is if kevin mccarthy becomes speaker, that put some 2nd in line to the presidency behind the vice president official. i for them in capitol hill. thank you. well, i spoke to john jones, he's

a political strategist who works as a senior adviser to democratic senate majority leader chuck schumer. i asked him what he makes of what's happened so far. the last 4 days. i've been very long for representative mccarthy. but the last 24 hours have probably been the most promising for him. having been able to flip about 15 rebels and bringing him 2 or 3 boats shy of this number of all that he needs to become speaker. so he and his allies are much more confident today than in 3 days past. but it's going to be very interesting to see as a mr. mccarthy makes more and more concessions to on the right wing. will this upset centrist and disappoint moderate. within the republican caucus now, and will it be challenging to actually bring all of these votes together?

so that's going to be the big challenge for represent mccarthy going forward. and given what's happened, is this a warning for what might come in important voting sessions later in the well, it's going to be really serious for those who are looking to see how strong centrist and moderate will be in the united states congress. in both the republican and democratic parties, what you're going to need in order to fund the government pass appropriation measures, raise the debt seal. alan is essentially a centrist governing coalition, a republican and democrat that are going to need to come together in a bipartisan matter, to get those roles and to impart from the government funded department of defense fund. the state department fund much needed elements within government and it remains to be seen after

a speaker is selected and looking at all the concessions have been made. if that's actually going to be possible. would democrats have taken some satisfaction from this republican stalemate? and if so, should they instead be thinking, look, this is bad for government. the democratic party, the very big 10 diverse party diverse individual. busy so with the diversity views as well. so you have a group of democrats who have saw this answer to a degree ah, entertaining, and feel that of some of their opponents or get in there or come up it to a degree. while there have been other democrats who have basically looked at the last 4 days as very disappointing because many of them believe that it's the institution that has suffered with this inaction and the inability to actually get congress working of this week. yes, you say disappointing. how does this look for america's image internationally?

well, 2 things. number one, whether it's the republicans or democrats and power, the democracy is messy. the government and coalitions are very, very important in essential to a democracy. though the republicans have looked at in a matter of disarray all these last few days, it looks like for them it's probably a come together that remains to be seen. but i actually think the image of parliamentary debate, people express their ideas even pointing to the importance of germanic to amendments. and this is law inside baseball. but this is democracy. wow, stella curts have led commemorations mark in the 2nd anniversary of the journey. the 6th attack on the us capitol members gathered on the steps of the building for a remembrance ceremony. they paid tribute to the offices who kept them safe and remembered the 5 people who died 2 years ago. the capital was stone by supporters

temperatures get colder, as according to some military analysts, 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. m. 23 rebels have handed back an important military base and eastern democratic republic of congo. its latest move by the group to fulfill its pledge to withdraw from territory seized in recent months. catherine soy has more. this is a big win for the congolese government and east african troops in north kiva province to help combat am 23 fighters rebels to control of the areas largest military base. in october, regional forces have been negotiating with the fighters to withdraw. we are showing
