wet picture now was moved to central america, launch the quiet for much of the caribbean. so some parts of the rain bringing those scattered showers and scattered showers for southern areas of mexico, extending down all the way to panama. we will see that wet weather intensify as we go into sunday much to wire from northern areas of mexico. we could see some rain pool. in fact, those storms running across the gulf of mexico. we're going to see those pickup it's clearer. however, on saturday, the worst of that wet weather once again putting into the u. s. west coast. we'll have more heavy rain for california. ah, ah al jazeera. oh i

this is al jazeera. oh hello, i'm sammy zaden. this is the news i live from. go how coming up in the next 60 minutes. kevin mccarthy, of the state of california having received a majority of the votes cast, is duly elected. speaker of the house of representatives. after 5 days and 15 rounds of voting, republican kevin mccarthy is sworn in as us house speaker. ah, ukrainian celebrated orthodox christmas. under the shadow of war roches unilateral sci fi hasn't stopped the fighting mexican authorities, confirmed 29. people were killed in violence parked by the arrest of

a similar drug cartel leader and chinese business tycoon jack mar. we'll give out control of financial tech giant, the end group. and his for another joke which is through to his 1st final of the year. the 21 time grand slam champion beating gentlemen for death in the last 4 of the adult. ready in spanish ah, bow republican kevin mccarthy has been elected speaker of the us house of representatives. it took 5 days and 15 rounds of voting for mccarthy to overcome a challenge to his leadership by hard line numbers of his own party. it revealed deep divisions among the republicans and raise questions about his ability to govern from washington d. c. his alan fisher. after an historic queen and to leaking into the after a night of drama and contemplation,

it was 15 time. lucky for kevin mccarthy. the california republican finally clicked enough hoops to secure the position, a speaker of the u. s. host that represented the speaker, the house. my ultimate responsibility is not to my party, my conference or even our congress. my responsibility, our responsibility is to our country. he told every one he had the votes to win on the 14th when he didn't. 2 votes of president gates gates essentially blocked his way to the chair because he fell short of the number of votes required by one. it led to incredible scenes on the house floor with the to be confronted by colleagues was exchanged, fingers pointed, and physical confrontation, apparently avoided as one congressman had to be held back by colleagues. the

conversations continued and suddenly to adjourn to monday was rejected. mccarthy wanted to go again. the theme summed up by one democrat, if he offered his parties, no money for the poor. madam clerk, i rise to say, wow, the booting began again when congress women expense to exasperation at the extended process. and then it was done with county finally became speaker of the $118.00 congress. kevin mccarthy moved into this because office earlier this week, but several times in the chamber. it looked premature. a group of ultra conservatives blocked his elevation, but slowly he groaned them don't offering a raft to concessions, including a change of rules and who could challenge the speaker and the promise of seats on influential committees. democrats congratulated mccarthy and his when the warranty pieces, problems to control is one party, when republican said the issues of the last few days will have no impact on his parties,

long term prospect. the 2024 presidential election sleeping ever closer. i think it's been hard on the party and a little bit frustrating, but i don't think it's left a scar. i don't think it's anything permanent, as i've said a number of times as well. 6 months from now. no one will be thinking about this. and that could be an issue for kevin mccarthy. he has an extensive agenda. he wants to push through congress. but to do that, he needs the united party and it has been anything, but in the last few days and hours, i was fisher, i'll just see it up on capitol hill in washington. go live, not now too high. the jo, castro, she joins us live from washington, d. c. so 1st of all, what do we know for sure about the confessions that mccarthy had to make to secure the vote. sammy, we know that the speakership that he has now taken is a much diminished one than what we've been accustomed to seeing under nancy pelosi,

the outgoing speaker for one. mccarthy had to agree on allowing just one member, any member of the chamber at any time to call for a snap vote to oust him. essentially that's been described as signing his own death warrant of the speakership prematurely. he also had to agree to allow a 3rd of the seats on the very influential house rules committee to go to this ultra conservative faction. why does that matter? well, it's this committee that essentially says which laws even have a chance of being debated and possibly passed in the chamber. finally, he also had to agree that for these government spending bills which are essential in keeping the federal government operational. now there will be the ability for any member of the chamber to call for a debate and to introduce amendments that could go on for an,

an unlimited amount of time. essentially, what is all of that add up to this ultraconservative? freedom caucus has been bent on limiting government spending and also on disrupting day to day government business, which we saw in full display over the last 5 days. and what does this whole process tell us about the influence that donald trump has on the republican party at this point? right now, there's some newer, newer reporting that trump made a critical phone calls to at least 2 of these ultra conservative holdouts. prior to that final successful vote to get mccarthy into the speakership role, now those to hold out of it did did eventually vote present which made it possible for mccarthy to finally synch his his leadership. however, what does that mean? well, we know that days prior to that from also publicly made exhortations for mccarthy

to be voted much sooner. and that was publicly publicly challenged by lauren bober, one of trump strongest supporters and a member of this ultra conservative faction. so it's a, it's a mixed message for what trump means to the, to least these ultra conservative politicians. but he still remains very popular among the republican base. and also it is not lost upon any one that all of this drama happened 2 years to the day of january 6, capital riot in which it was some of these very members who were supporting trump, try to block the certification of trans election loss to joe biden, so trump name is very much still on everyone's my watching this trauma unfold. jo, castro, there, thanks so much. or ross, find gold is

a former chair of the asia chapter of republicans abroad. he thinks house republicans can now put pressure on the biden administration, especially when it comes to foreign policy. well, certainly impacted in the sense that again, there'll be a lot of oversight. at a minimum, there's going to be 3 things. there's going to be at the house, republicans are going to investigate what happened in afghanistan, the chaotic withdraw. so probably these very embarrassing revelations about decision making where. busy lack of decision making on the biden team during those crucial weeks in august of 2020, what ukraine policy as well as mccarthy's already famous per saying there will be a blank check for ukraine. so although a lot of that money was appropriated in the recently passed on the bus bill at the end of 2022, they're still going to conduct oversight and try again. try to embarrass the bodies administration with too much being spent to buy supplies and things like that, cost overruns, etc, etc. and then there's the big one,

china. so these are the republicans over already said they're going to set up a new committee today, and we'll be bipartisan, but it's going to investigate all aspects of the budget administration, china policy. and the result there. we know what that is. it's going to say that the bided administration is way too soft on china, and they're going to call on the biden ministration to take a lot more action, whether that's our trade or human rights, sanctioning chinese government officials. so we should certainly expect versus the previous house control by the democrats, a lot more talk about china and a lot of proposals. and frankly, a lot of criticism of dividing administration. the orthodox christians in ukraine, celebrating christmas under the shadow of war. oh, this is 1000 year old christine monastery. the service was held in the ukrainian

language for the 1st time ukraine officially flipped from the russian orthodox church last year, and that for the stablish being an independent church. 30000000 ukrainians identifies orthodox christians, celebrate christmas on the 7th of january in care of its been a somber christmas morning. charles stratford reports christmas warning for millions of orthodox christians around the world. but of course, a christmas head that has been blackened by more than 10 months of war. you join us outside this beautiful cathedral in king. this is the most important orthodox cathedral in the country. and today for the 1st time, the head of the newly formed ukrainian also dogs church will be holding praise. open to alicia. let's press it already at always being held by a ukrainian orthodox church affiliated to moscow. it is

a church that certainly in recent months has been accused of having connections with the kremlin. it has had its churches rated by the ukraine. it'll socrates the craniums, accusing them of having links of potentially being even linked to saboteurs in side . ukraine, of course, that is something that is massively denied by that church that is linked to moscow . but i think that that is a big reflection of just how divisions and how this war has as cause divisions between countries, but also between the religious communities inside ukraine. and this was the scene on christmas eve in the eastern don bass region where one church held their mass in a basement a si, fi ordered by russian president vladimir putin did not stop soldiers on both sides from exchanging fire worked on mentally the phoenix over the past 24 hours,

the enemy launched. one massage the attack and made 20 attacks from multiple rocket launch systems. the danger of air and miss silent strikes remains throughout ukraine. the main efforts of the enemy are focused on attempts to completely capture the don't yet region. within the administrative border, it conducts offensive operations in the back much direction. now in russia, president of latin mir foods and attended christmas mass in a cathedral on kremlin grounds. senior government officials also took part. moscow imposed a 36 hours seize fire, falling cold from the influential head of russia's orthodox church, patriarch kill. while he's back, ukrainian offensive career criticize ukraine for cracking down on the branch of the orthodox church, which has ancient ties with moscow. yeah, kim zillow. i wish everyone will experience this christmas nice in a special way, feel god's presence. i pray from the bottom of my heart for your loved ones. we are

self for our homeland and for those who are suffering today for our brothers and ukraine, who being expelled from the key pictures of love for a monstrous day. this is the latter, which for centuries has been the guardian of genuine unadulterated orthodoxy. beloved aladdin tal even is director of the erasure program at quincy institute for responsible state craft joins us now from new york in the united kingdom. good. have you will us, 1st of all, how significant do you think it is that services have been held in the ukrainian language for the 1st time and gives 1000 year old church. but it's a very important symbolic moment in the increasing break between the orthodox face in ukraine and in russia. but as, as you noted earlier, the ukranian orthodox churches itself and i split into 2 or even 3 different

sections. so the did, the alignment of the orthodox church in, in ukraine is also still a major source of course of, of control kasey and, and division with ukraine. it's obviously part of a big process of solidifying the ukranian identity, right? this is not just about religion. there's a lot of politics and nationalism involved here. oh, absolutely. and that's indeed has always been the case. because the, the russian orthodox church traces it's lineage of back to the medieval kingdom of rhodes, which was based in p. s. and for centuries. now the question of whether the orthodox church in ukraine should align with moscow or whether in the past

should move over to the catholic church, has been central to the politics and the politics of ukraine. and it's, as you pointed out, there since the days of the roof state, the politicization, i guess you could say of the church as a very long history, but always seeing a new level of it in this conflict. yes, absolutely. and it's of course, not just between russia and ukraine, but it, within ukraine, you had a report from the dorm bass which is occupied by, by russian. and they're obviously, in part of course, because russian decisions the churches will ukrainian orthodox church is still completely loyal to moscow. so that will be an additional obstacle to ukraine ever trying to reintegrate the areas which of ukraine, which are now or by, by russia. i was talked

a lot about what's been happening with the orthodox church in ukraine, but we also should remember there's been a process going on in russia itself, right from the days where the church was very much enemy of the state and the soviet days to a different relationship with the kremlin now with 2 to now? well, yes, i mean in many ways directional to those churches reverted to its ancient identity as a pillar of the russian stage and a central force in russian nationalism and patriot carol moscow. while you know, he is called for christmas cease fire in ukraine, have in general being extremely supportive of this war, which of course, naturally has caused great anger among ukrainians. alright, and good to get your thoughts on that. thank you so much for sharing the mythos. anatole leven meanwhile, the u. s. is confirmed another minute free

a package for ukraine worth $3000000000.00. it includes 50 infantry, 5 thing vehicles which can find anti tank mis house that we used in the gulf. and the rock was it'll take a couple of months, basically i to get this capability, feel dead to get the ukrainians trained on there, that new training program that we're starting it, it's roughly a battalions worth of forces at a time. and so roughly $500.00 soldiers are over the course of roughly a month. and we're adding on the bradley training. 20 more still had on the news hour, including opposition parties and been in gearing up to contest parliamentary elections for the 1st time since 2019 ah, more protests in peru, the form of resident supporters of blocking roads as they demand is released from prison and it's for lebron james leaves the los angeles lakers to

a 4th street when and these here with that story. ah, i ron has hanged to men for crimes committed during nationwide protests over the death of master armine, the 2 men were found guilty of killing a security officer in november 22 year old massa minnie died in police custody in september. she'd been detained for violating the country's dress code. mohammed mirandi is a political analyst, and professor at the university of toronto joins us now from to her on good to have you with us. so how is this going down in iran? how's people seeing this execution? i don't think there's any real sympathy for the men who are executed because they committed a horrific act of violence. they stabbed and eat for the

young man who was murdered multiple times. they have ra, a trash this body and tony ultimately died. so i don't see any obviously that going to be people who support the 200 man. i don't think there's any popular support for them. and the broader a lot of human rights groups have criticize these kinds of trials. do you think most people are going to believe those who are arrested, protested, arrested in charge of getting a fair trial? well, we have to be careful about these human rights organizations, which are funded by western governments are funded by institutions post the affiliated with western governments. there is for the 2

men and the acts carried out against the person who was murdered. it has been seen. why be in your honor, society? i've also put clips of it on my twitter account for people to see. but does that apply a mr. miranda? sorry to interrupt you about. we've heard you right. they are from western you human rights groups like amnesty international, quite credible ones. they say these trials bore no resemblance to a meaningful judicial proceeding. they, they can't see. in some cases the evidence presented against them. they don't get to choose the lawyer. so yes, well, amnesty internet, we know, has the history of supporting nato, and i understand, and it is close it related with the political establishment in the united

states. i think many and iran, with what wonder why amnesty international is not directing any criticism towards the british government. because we have version t v. stations in london, iran international. so the channel based in london that have repeatedly called that of legitimize and praise, beating police officers, burning them alive and murdering. and this is something that if it was done in english, if it was an english channel or a western language channel based in london, off home with shut them down mediately. and these people will be taken to court and probably put on file. but in the case of iran, these persian media channels like b persian d o a, you run international and other outlets they are allowed to go on

writers to encourage them are police officers. and we have to remember that over 60 police officers were murdered during this period. if you compare this to the united states, that would be roughly comparing it with taking into account that the population of the united states is 4 times greater than iran. that would mean like 225060 police officers in the united states being killed by riots. so i think if we take a look at things in, in, in this sort of context, then it would be far more complicated than what these western human rights organizations are saying. we know that there's been a new head of police been appointed. what do you think the appointment of a 100 on what does that say or indicate about the intentions of authorities and how they deal with protests? i don't think it makes a significant difference. the previous head of police in iran is

here to govern. police has come to them, so it was expected that he would be replaced by someone else. and mr. dunn, if someone who's been in the police or active in the police in the past, in high ranking positions for a long time. so he's very well acquainted with the work that he does. the point is so that in the case of iran, we have the police have to deal not only with protesters or writers because in reality as well on the 1st couple of days after that it was right and they were extremely r y. not only do they have to deal with writers, but they have to deal with terrorist organizations based in northern iraq, supported by western governments, separatist groups in pollution on pakistan that are also funded by the government and also the anything which i think there is organization which is based in europe

and has a major base in albania. they themselves admit that they're involved in the right 20 k for saddam. right. so for you run a great deal of western influence in the bio planet that we have. all right, thank you for sharing your perspective on the thanks. commas, return to the mexican city of korea can after a day of violence, authority say 29 people were killed and members of the powerful sinaloa count. how confronted security forces. the government deployed an additional $1000.00 troops to the city. the violence broke out when police arrested a drug kingpin on 1st day of video, guzman is the son of imprison drug, lord of chapo. and an important figure in the similar cartel. there's still no security, no one is telling us everything will be fine. it still doesn't feel good though,

so call me i will walk around and few waiting forgot to say was and that nothing else happens on. i go out afraid that they will stop us again. i work here at the supermarket time, a john home and reports from mexico city, where the government released more details about the ras. they said that everything's calm now in clear kind in sinaloa, that's the state, you know, from mexico where this all happened. and they revealed a little bit more information about the operation. so the key thing about this is the 2nd time around. they tried to do this in 2019 they went in for the same man or video guzman. he's the son of walking guzman. otherwise known as old chapel probably met case most famous drug trafficker ever. they went in to get him in 2090 . they didn't get him, they had him there in the city. and then there was such a battle. and so many coulier kind story to lower cultural operatives went out on the street to vehicle shooting things, burning things, putting up ro, blockades,

and things like that that they had to let it go. the president was worried about loss of life and civilians being affected, the real humiliation for him. so this time round, they got their man, 3 years later he said that things were calm. he was saying the differences between the 2 operations, for example, last time around, they tried to get a video guzman about mid day this time around. they went in the very early morning last summer and it was right and coolly a kind, a city which is a real center point to this in a lower cartel. and this time around they went to a sort of village on the outskirts of cooley. i can't do it, which made things easier. spent nearly 2 years since the military coup in me and me off, but the job to continues to target opposition groups. tens of thousands of people fly, many flee to neighboring thailand, and one refugee spoken to al jazeera about his experience. we've hidden his identity to protect his safety. don't live. no. my name is phillip

refugee from nicole and kind of stayed here after the military coup. many young activists came out on the street to protest, but the ministry did not care to crack down on the protest, causing many people to want to leave. i had to leave the state in september 2021 because i was helping ended protested and had become too well known to the military view of my colleagues had been arrested and i began to feel unsafe. the military went to some of the people i had helped, wanted know, my name and where i lived, i feared for my family safety. so i decided to leave. when we arrived in mon state, they passed the new law of forcing people to report and register any get or visitors. we will easily identifiable strangers as we look different to the local people. ok, so we continued on to melody. then like a call that we faced the same problem. we had no choice but to cross the border into thailand i took, i wrote to the you and hcr in december 2021 and had an interview with them a few months later. but i heard nothing more. so i applied to australia for refugee

status, but i was rejected. that affected me a lot, mentally. i have a wife and child. life is so uncertain. i don't know if when the time authorities will arrest him deport me. i've sent letters to many embassies, including the u. s. canada. enjoy. all of them. tell me the same thing that i need to have a un registration number from the un. otherwise they can help me. in may. so on the board, i was arrested by the time police. i tried to call the you and hcr emergency number several times, but there was no response. in the end i had to pay a bribe to stop me from deporting me. i was very lucky. i worry as my parents and family members are still in me, and so i tried to keep a low profile while continuing to support freedom fight. and so i see why it's important not to draw too much attention from the military. i send food and medical supplies from thailand. i tried to help all civilians and kind of regardless of
