10 scenes in the us house as kevin mccarthy fall short by just one vote in his 14th bid to become speaker. a 15 vote is now underway. ah, hello, i'm down. jordan, this is out as they are alive from doe, are also coming up acts of heroism. the honor does events the hell to monta, stormy of capitol hill. 2 years ago israel security cabinet unveiled tough sanctions against the palestinian authority after the u. n's top court is asked to rule on the legality of occupation. on the phone are from the rest of the mexican drug, nor a 1000 troops are deployed following a night of violence. ah,

sell off the days of deadlock. republican liter kevin mccarthy's, facing yet another round of voting in his bid to become speaker of the us house of representatives that were heated exchanges on capitol hill. as he confronted to ultraconservative republicans who denied his 14th bid for the speakers chair in the latest route in the coffee felt just one vote short. let's bring an allen fisher is life us, capitol hill, allen. so here again, we saw some incredible scenes on the floor of the house earlier with mccarthy losing yet another round by just that one vote. now we had this 5th round of ballot starting what's changed? who said politics is boring. i mean, it's incredible. what we've seen the at midday kevin mccarthy told us that he had the votes to win on the 14 throne he didn't. he fell short by one. there were 2 votes of present. they were mac gates, a congressman from florida and lawn, bober, a congresswoman from colorado. they have been staunch ultraconservative holdouts saying that they would not vote for kevin mccarthy. at that point the vote was cold

. mccarthy was one under the threshold that he needed. there was then a confrontation in the house. mccarthy went to put his case to the 2 holdouts and one congressman essentially was being held back by his colleagues. because allegedly, what we're being told is that mike gates said he would consider flipping his vote. if he got that congressman seat on an influential committee, the armed services committee, at that point they were voting whether or not to adjourn with the intention of coming back to monday. suddenly, there is a deal kept mike mike gates at a bit of paper and went towards kevin mccarthy and the desk at that point, republicans had been voting to a john started flipping their vote to say no, let's not a john. kevin mccarthy was seen on the floor, putting his hands up saying, let's do this one more time. and suddenly we went adjourned and we were going in to the 15 throne. now the only reason we could be doing this is that now kevin mccarthy. thanks. he actually has the votes and that one of the to lorne over or

mac mac gates is going to vote for him to be the next speaker of the house of representatives. it has been a night of high drama. no speaker contest has lasted this long. it is no into a 5th day, and of course it is no into a 15 thrown of ballots. i think there were 2 quotes in the last 20 minutes. that of summed everything up when the democrat stood up to read to nominate. i came jeffries as the speaker, he just stood and said, i stand to say, wow, and i think it felt was that everyone fell dot and then there was a congress women when asked to cast her vote. she said, for that god damn 15th time, and i think there was a round of applause for that because people are feeling that way. this has been an incredible night of drama and capitol hill, one that people remember for a long time. but one that looks as if and i see that with a huge kavya, looks as if kevin mccarthy might end as the speaker of the u. s. house of

representatives. as it goes into the 118th congress, i think will all be breathing a sigh. but he fallen when this is over, i mean, some people will say, though, that this is democracy at work. but to night though, did lay bare the acrimony and the divisions within the republican party. especially the moment when one republican had to be held back from speaking to mac gates. now f might gaze, has decided that he's going to vote for kevin mccarthy to flip his vote, or perhaps mark himself as present and make sure that there is enough force for kevin mccarthy to get over the threshold. and he's done it for a committee place. then people are going to see what is mike gates doing, has he sold out? has principal, someone who said he would never let kevin mccarthy become the speaker, has he taken a stance which will hallow him to do that? and that in a microcosm is the split and the republican party. there are elements here that don't want kevin mccarthy at to be the speaker. they don't think he'll do

a good job and is going to be an incredibly difficult role as speaker to make sure that he can continue to move this party forward in a united form to push forward with his agenda. now we know that kevin mccarthy flipped votes earlier today to make sure that he could get close to the speakership thinking he was going to land at the 14th. that is the framework of an agreement with some of the ultra conservative holdouts. apparently, some of the things that have been promised include the ability for one member of congress to call for the removal of the speaker. now there would be a vote of one of republican if it's a republican speaker. if there is a, there would be a vote, and obviously we have to be majority to do that. but until this point, the has to be a majority to make that call in the 1st place. there are going to be more positions on more influential committees for the ultra conservatives. and there's also going to be a change in the way that they can propose amendments to bills as well. there are other things, but as a say that's only as a framework at the moment. but kevin mccarthy obviously gave up these concessions.

there wasn't a lot left in the treasure chest that he could go to offer. so be interesting to see what mike gates gets out of this. we know that lauren bullet has already voted presence as she hasn't changed or vote at all. so she has been consistent throughout all of this. she's been wanting the leading voice saying, no, we can't vote for kevin mccarthy. what happens with mike gates will be very interesting. i'm just going to take a quick look at the voting as it stands at the moment. mccarthy is 80 jeffrey, 78 and 5 have voted present before we had a for votes for others voting present. rather than voting for someone else, means that you have to have a majority of those votes that are cast just voting. present isn't considered a vote to be in cas, so if it comes down to just hacking jeffries and kevin mccarthy, if people aren't voting for other people beyond those 2, if the just for present at the threshold for kevin mccarthy comes down at the

moment, it would it would be $218.00 if everyone voted. it comes down the number of people voting present. i think it's know around. i think 215. so given what he got a last time around, which was $216.00 votes, there is every possibility that kevin mccarthy as finally about to land the plane and become the next speaker of the house. all right, i, i, i hope i make her eat your words tonight, allan allan, allan fish, are there on capitol hill and will no doubt come back to you when we get the results of this boat. but for now, alum, thank it. now, house democrats have lead commemorations marking the 2nd anniversary of the january 6 attack on the u. s. capital members gathered on the steps of the building for a remembrance ceremony. they paid tribute to the officers who kept them safe and remember the fight. people who died 2 years ago, the capital a storm by supporters of then president donald trump, who forced the claimed the 2020 election was stolen. our white house correspondent

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 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 they're also placed. camaro tore him 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 to v i p 's or who are leading the political and legal will against israel. what does that mean? was they just going to make it much more difficult for them to have to leave the occupied westbank to go to international meetings to go and travel abroad?
