this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm adrian said again. this is that is our life from doha. 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. how speaker? ah ukrainians celebrate orthodox christmas under the shadow of wall, where rushes unilateral cease, fire hasn't stopped fighting on the front blind. i saw more public anger

over political tales in peru, with people calling for its new presidents to resign. at iran, hangs 2 men convicted of killing a member of the parent of the free during processor the death of masa, meaning anon sport. no bad job of it is through to his 1st final of the year. being 21 time grand slam winter beating. daniel met the dev and the last 4 of the adelaide international ah. after 5 days of chaotic, republican infighting kevin mccarthy has finally been sworn in a speaker of the us house of representatives. it took 15 rounds of voting for the california to be elected, but after conceding major concessions to an ultra conservative block, many say that his power has been diminished from washington. his island fisher,

after an historic wheat and to leaking into the after a night of drama and confrontation, it was 15 time. lucky cook kevin mccarthy. the california republican finally flipped enough foods to secure the position, a speaker of the us house 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 everyone he had the votes to win on the 14th room. he didn't. 2 votes of present. gates gates essentially blocked his way to the chair. as he fell short of the number of votes required by one. it led to incredible scenes on the house floor with the 2 being confronted by colleagues once would exchanged fingers pointed and physical

confrontation, apparently avoided as one congressman had to be held back by colleagues. the conversations continued and suddenly appeared to a john to monday was rejected because he wanted to go again. it seemed summed up by one democrat, if he offered his parties know many for the poor. madam clerk, i rise to say, wow, the booting began again. when congress women expense to exasperation at the extended crusade, and then it was done. mccarthy 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 congratulating mccarthy on his when the warranty

pieces, problems to control his own 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 hooping 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 eat up on capitol hill in washington. let's go live now to capitol hill. i was just there was hydro castro, is that for us id, tell us more about the concessions that coffee had to make to get this to get this through. oh wagering. when reporters asked matt gates, who was the leading hold out against mccarthy, why it is?

he finally switched his votes. his answer may have said it all. he said there was nothing else left to ask for that you hadn't already gotten in terms of concessions from the car thief. what does that look like? well now it only takes one member to call at any time for a vote of no confidence if you will, to ask for the speaker to be removed from the position, just one person to call for 4 vote. now also there is going to be a 3rd of the influential rules committee will be made up of this ultra conservative faction. why does that matter? well, this committee is the one that decides which legislation even stands, a chance of being debated, much less voted upon on the house floor. and also, of course, these conservatives are about limiting government spending. so government spending bills will now be open to debate, and any member can recommend a amendment which again will be

a long drawn out process that leads up to votes. so what does that all sum up to a very frustrating to years is likely what we can expect from mccarthy's speakership. if he last for that long, there will be many more obstacles likely presented by this ultraconservative group of republicans. and what we just saw in the last 5 days was a small taste of what's to come out. former president trump had tried and failed to get, but coffee elected to a speaker shoot. what does that say about before president influence on this republican block? right, there may be a, a certain sort of a mixed take away from that because now there is reporting that trump made 2 influential calls to members who were holding out against mccarthy right before that last excess. although perhaps that is what push them to change their minds to vote present in which allowed mccarthy to when the speakership. however, earlier,

as you mentioned, adrian trump publicly tried to push members to support mccarthy. and he was met ah, by openly defiance from lauren bober, at one of his strongest supporters. who said that perhaps trump should just tell mccarthy to throw his hat out to just throw in the white flag. so certainly, president trump still the most popular figure among republican based voters, perhaps not quite as the, the leader that he once was among those alter conservative republicans who, ironically he was the one who built up and who are among his greatest orders. i deserve castro lives on capitol hill in washington manufacture date. heidi will, in his acceptance speech, the new speaker outlined the republican agenda for the new session of congress. he said the house would pass bills to tackle challenges facing the u. s. including

securing the quote wide open the us mexico border and tackling wasteful government spending and the rising national debt. a coffee also said he wanted to combat what he called woke indoctrination in schools. republicans in congress have said a top priority will be to investigate the business dealings of president joe biden . some hunter, cor. persaco is a former democratic state senator from north carolina. he served 4 terms and georgia. now live from much to live in mexico. good chevy with us, sir. so we were talking about the concessions that the coffee has had to make at the far right, republican block in terms of the house rules committee, which sets the legislative agenda. now. traditionally, that committee has always been controlled. i the speaker up. it doesn't look like that's gonna be the case now. does it what does that mean for mccarthy's legislative plans? well, i think the idea that 6 months from now people are going to forget this. the asco

of this week, i think, is ridiculous. for the very concessions that mccarthy had to make and who he made those 2. and when you talk about the rules committee, this is where every bill has to go to make a decision whether it be heard which committee will be sent to. it is the probably most important committee and the fact that 3rd, that is going to be made up of members who held out all during this time. and they are playing to basically an extreme right wing. part of the republican party only does not bode well for mccarthy. it doesn't bode well for the house representatives . it doesn't bode well for the entire congress and it does not bode well for the country. we were also hearing that mccarthy had to agree to reinstate a policy that would allow a single member to cool for a vote on removing the speak. i mean gives you the chaos that we've witnessed over the past few days. how quickly do you think that could come back to haunt him?

how long do you give him? i think yes, gonna come back to hold him very quickly. if you look at the fact that the votes that he had before, 135 members of the house with one desk for 34, he only got 216 votes, 6 of the people who held out during these 4 or 5 days of chaos never voted from mccarthy. they voted present. well, that is a sure signal what their indications, what their desires are, and what they're planning to do. that was one of their goal was to have that as a, as a concession. he made it, you know, the old saying he's made his bed. he's wanted to lie in it. it's not going to be very comfortable. the president is called on house republicans to govern responsibly apart from causing trouble for the bite of ministration to house republicans actually have much in the way of a legislative agenda. what do they want to do with their control of the house?

well that you're asking the wrong person on, on that question, i am baffled what they want to do. if you make concessions. it's not just the concessions he made. it's who he made the concessions to. many of those 20 people who held out our 2020 election deniers. that means that they are still telling the big why that donald trump one the election. when i think about that for a minute, these are the people you're making these incredible concessions to on the running of the house of representatives. you've got chaos written over there. how can there be possibly be a positive agenda that comes and lead based on the concessions he's made. these are not people who are interested in governing. they're interested in chaos. because totally so many thanks to you for being with us. clark texaco that they had

to live in mexico. appreciate it. thank you. here with the news, our from al jazeera still to come on the program opposition parties in benita gearing up to contest parliamentary elections for the 1st time since 2019 and in sport upon james leeds. los angeles lakers to a 4th street when 5 here with that of the rest of the day spent a little later there's been a little less up in fighting in the eastern ukraine despite a unilateral cease fire declared by russia during the orthodox christmas, 30000000 ukrainians. are members of the church, but as charles stratford reports now from keith for then attending mass is not just a spiritual act, but a political one. ah, churches have stood here for almost a 1000 years. cubes, elaborate cathedral is one of the most important also doctor christian institutions

in the world. but this year's christmas service is different if you're a barrier love for the 1st time the liturgy is being delivered in ukrainian by recently formed ukrainian orthodox church. for centuries, the ukrainian church is conducted the christmas service in ancient slavic, and russian times have changed. oh, certainly, i saw it. i think people have changed the stace, it's changing. we see historical justice and the nation is being formed. it's very important to eradicate everything russian from ireland, i guess, or russian church that oh, was here before i ever supports in like her rush centers in put in. so he was so know when lee jen, have you bring in church so i'm really glad so. oh, sentiments like these have been growing since roches illegal annexation of crimea

and areas of the dumbass in 2014. they have now been institutionalized in the country that suffering a full scale invasion, and more than 10 months of war. as the newly formed orthodox church of your crying halls, christmas pres, here for the 1st time, the ukrainian church affiliated with moscow has no choice but to hold a service at another site close by. you. crane accuses it as supposing and even helping russia in the war. something the church vehemently denies the priest. he is one of a number on a ukrainian sanctions list. the police and army have rated numerous russian orthodox churches across ukraine since the war started orthodox priest metropolitan . clement says his church has no affiliation with moscow other than a spiritual one and accuses ukraine of flouting its own constitution,

which guarantees freedom of religion, worship. look, natural, constantly, or less have gone washer. this is shown by the fact that the contract for the use of the cathedral by our church was terminated without appropriate procedures. another denomination was allowed to conduct the christmas service in the church and courtesy of as it is aggressive and discriminatory towards the worshippers of our church. it reminds us of the situation that existed in the totalitarian days of the soviet union condo city. there are a few, a worshippers at this church on christmas morning, but it isn't alicia to get some later. sure. of course, we're a little sad that today we're not in a cathedral, but if god's well, the main thing is to pray humbly and then go to decide as needed. roches invasion hasn't only pushed ukraine into the arms of the west. it's further dividing its orthodox christian communities to chance travel al jazeera, give a while. the u. s. is concerned,

another military aid package for ukraine. we're $3000000000.00 and includes 50 infantry fighting vehicles which can fire anti tank miss house that we use in the gulf. and iraq was yes, it'll take a couple of months. basically i to get on this capability, feel dead to get the ukrainians trained on that new training program that we're starting it, it's roughly a battalions worth of forces at a time. i so roughly $500.00 soldiers over the course of roughly a month. and we're adding on the bradley training. it's been a month since peruse for president was removed from office as prosecutors now build a case against federal kasteel. some voters are still waiting for the changes that he promised. i'll 0 is marianna sanchez reports now for one of costio stronghold o from their mountain homes to the streets of the small town of lipa higher began. oh,

hundreds of farmers doing daily. they munched, demanding the rights to promises. former president bill castillo, made during his campaign, yet little hope that lydia bianca says she will not give up from the expectations she had. she voted for him 18 months ago. let them know the laws are made to favor the rich. we don't have a voice or a vote. we want a constituent assembly to close congress and we want president dina bullard to, to resign. she does not represent us. well, many protesters here see kathy's removal from office and arrest me can a political prisoner disorder, kathy, you ordered the dissolution of congress and the rest of the prosecutor investigating him and corruption allegations. now he faces charges of rebellion and up to 20 years in prison. oh dorothy, a one with more than 80 percent of the vote, although people here say he didn't pull any of the promises he made the lawmakers

responsible. yeah, because not allow me to worry though dusty you, these farmers see your expectations for better living conditions. slipping away the blame the new precedent, dean of a lot, at the bottom, i have an idea amos eli castillo promised agrarian reforms, and we voted for him. but noble artie has betrayed us. she was our sister, but now we want her out for a month. it who has witnessed, protest, death, and destruction. the country is in a state of emergency. farmers here are continuously on strike, taking turns to block the mean highway as he has done what consoles the dunphy we are so tired, all of us knowing the elderly children's youngest boy, but we're not taking part in the fight. and that's the only way lonely. come, if they don't listen to us, we will continue with our fight. you welcome to what? one month on bidder castillo is a symbol fading away. but the people of woody bessy, his promises are now

a force for renewed hope. and the only way for change they see is to continue fighting mcginnis and just, i just need, i would need a, put a mac countries in east africa. and the horn of africa continued to suffer the most severe droughts in 70 years. the u. n. has warned of famine if aid isn't provided soon. it says that at least 36000000 people are affected. children, of course, are the most vulnerable. nearly a quarter of those in need of assistance or in somalia and make up almost half the population of 17000000. in ethiopia, nearly 11000000 people need support. a conflict in the to gray region has worse than the situation causing a humanitarian crisis. and in northern kenya, the u. n says that 4000000 people are going hungry due to a lack of rain, which is caused consecutive harvests to fail out zeros. catherine sawyer reports now from to corner in eastern kenya. this is

a familiar site in somalia, capital mogadishu, hundreds of families, i heading to the capitol from areas across the country. they are fleeing a drought that has wiped out their livestock and left them without food and water. some of their children have died many r malnourished. amena mohammed recently arrived at his camp. she's struggling to make ends meet soccer. and especially when i wake up in the morning, i make tea and popcorn. this will be my children's only meal. the last 2 years have been hard on people in countries like somalia, kenya, and if you appear for rainy seasons have failed. it's likely the 5th season won't make much of a difference across east africa, at least $36000000.00 people are affected, including children who are severely malnourished. 11000000 ethiopians and 4000000

canyons are close to starvation more than 8000000. so marleys have nothing to eat. millions of farm animals have died. and 16000000 people cannot get enough water. we normally of averted the farming was the tuition still are critical or also so affected the food production. ah, which means 70 percent of her who bought ocean somalia has been affected by the by the throat ah, on so it's affected the education where all those young people under age who are factored by the drought are not going to go to the school agency. say some districts are heading towards a family in the last time one was declared in somalia was in 2011 o realty is low surgeon, but at the same time we are calling to focus on the recovery under. yes. does most

important to us who wanted to present the cares of the humming hot as in canyon leaving in irish areas are relying on the government and humanitarian organizations. kenya has declared the drought a national disaster because all through the year, all 0 visited several counties in the north to cover the deteriorating situation. people are receiving maine and cooking oil, but this wood does not come often. and villages are we are talking to say it's not even enough. doctor's dealing with malnutrition cases say some children who live in remote areas often come to the hospital when they are already too weak. to be saved . wildlife has also been affected. the government estimates at least 200 elephants died because of the drought in 2020 to the region as in the middle of another rainy

season. some areas have hard rain fall, but weather experts say it may not be enough. that means millions of people who desperately need help may go into the next year. even was off katherine sawyer, all jazeera nairobi, will ellia. we spoke to nicholas johan from the world food program in somalia. i began by asking him, what's behind this crisis? the main driver of these cried, this is you make and crazy in the inter my yard that in the, in the home africa, the war is the prone to grow. so in my population, out of the poor range for season with the consequences on the lived lives, the deal being destroyed by the growth crisis. so that's the worst growth in indicate in somalia. and that is why the life is being

intervention. but believe it by the british t more sustained in the under eval solution to climate patient hours are needed to be in the resilience of the traditions so they can to cope with future climates. i'm glad you mentioned that building resilience because if the part of the core problem here is climate change, is there a quick solution? is there a quick fix to this? how do you build resilience and away when you don't simply give people the aid but prevent this scenario from recurring again and again, it's another quick speaks to working with community have your hand with communities that are so we look at all in as being the capacity of somebody at the church and to, to better cope with with, with climate change. this country really speaking. i mean thinking what does that

mean, relocating communities. i mean, how you build a system to sustain people in an area which is now looking like it's going to be prone to drought for a very long time. yeah, i mean that solution exists. so recently this to include water management, especially in the area where, you know, you know that since january 2022 due to the consequent consequences of the growth is that more than 111000000 people have been displaced within samaria. so that's a reality curity and but we know that solution to what, what, but missing now, especially our resources, financial resources to invest in long term development projects. and whenever we talk about malnutrition impact on children for sure, that having also a specific impact on women, right?

because in easy background situation, young children and pregnant women die down most of the tradition and we see yes, you know, really yeah, i mean, and i did this show very clearly, very high manage attrition rate among these 2 very been the other tradition groups. that's a reality, but also, i mean, i mean other impacts in a different ways. and that is about protection issue, the role that expose woman to a negative cookie strategy. and that can even put their own liking dancer. people in banana will head to the polls on sunday for a parliamentary election. the countries electoral commission has approved 7 political parties to contest the bose among them. the main opposition democrats policy, which was constitutional court case in november to allow its candidates to run the

a celebrating orthodox christmas under the shadow of war fighting is continuing on the front lines. despite a cease, fire, cold by rushes, president bloody may oppose him with a fall right government in israel christmas celebrations of intense for orthodox palestinians. a christian 7 free has been desecrated. a church owned lamb, this being occupied by israeli settlers. but at smith's report style from ramallah in the occupied westbank. oh, the world's oldest christine community says it's feeling the pressure like never before. rama's orthodox church was packed for christmas day mass. even though christians make up just one percent of the population of the occupied west bank down from 11 percent at the end of the ottoman era in 1922. and now with the most far right, is really government. there's ever been few here. see that trend reversing? who thought, hey, le zabel most of the plans of these extreme parties and what they believe in are

based on expelling the other from holy places in jerusalem and all of polystyrene. that is unrealistic because we palestinians have a long history here. we are very rooted in this land. israel's occupation, the stranglehold it has on the economy and the security situation. what drives most palestinians to leave. church leaders here have warned that christians become the target of frequent and sustained attacks by fringe radical groups in jerusalem. and the holy land, it's a remind the palestinian christian say they suffer as much under israel's occupation as muslims do. and this conflict is much more about land than it is about religion. settlers occupied this privately held church land in jerusalem with police protection 2 weeks ago. they say that carrying out archaeological digs, the church says it's not granted permission. more than 30 christine graves were desecrated earlier this week. israel's foreign ministry says the vandalism wasn't

immoral act, that is an affront to religion. to teenagers have been arrested. william em out of the list the hard we are exposed to is there 80 aggression and settlers edition the not the damage corps on roads destroy places. we are used to that yet, either. it's not noon, but it's increasing with the new administration need that resale it. the message of christmas is that one day, this land will return to the palestinians who have the right to. and that rides will never be lost with mcwilliam island harvey, the whole world, the west and the arab well can see what is happening here. we hear their words, but we do not see their actions. but the nurses, palestinian christians are often called the living stones of christianity because they can trace their history to the birth of the church 2000 years ago. and in a speech to mark orthodox christmas present mahmoud abbas said our people will continue to stand firm on our land. the land of our ancestors, bernard smith,

al jazeera ramallah in the occupied westbank. the european union says that it's a paul after a wrong hanged. 2 men for crimes committed during protests of the death of master armine. 2 men were found guilty of killing a member of the paramilitary in november 22 year old armine died in police custody in september. she had been detained for violating the country's dress code. let's go live to washington. joining us from there is another mortal's of up mortars, avi, who's a journalist on host of the wrong podcast. good to have you with us sir maga. so 4 people have now been executed following the protests over massa. i mean, he has to have the for the 10 people have been sentenced to death messages the government sending here well, it is like the government by rushing through these cases and well human rights organization. honestly, international specifically say without any resemblance of justice or due process is

essentially trying to instill fear and send the message to the rest of the protesters in the center is that this is what's going to happen to you and that they're using any means to try to crash the protests and to essentially send the protesters back home that previous to execution follow the same pattern. young men, they are known, executed through rush chords and also abruptly in the area hours of the day. and this time also, it seems to be the same to man, $20.21. and both have early this morning, iran time. so what's the current status of the process? so these diff sentence is having any impact on people's desire to well the debt sentences and also i want to size that security forces are also killing protesters on this chase. so it's not only the death penalty being handed to tested, but also about $500.00 tests. those have been documented by him right? organization. so i've been killed during the protest itself professionally. then

the goal is to still here, but what it's actually doing is generating more anger, generating even more protests receipts, funeral for testers, turning into a new protest then. so actually the 2 men that were hanging this morning were right around the flow tests that were for the funeral of one of the other killed protesters. so it just seems to be generating more anger, more in trouble of protest and essentially energizing more people to join this body of movement and then give them how dangerous for the government all these process than do you think the process really lightly the escalades in the future, eventually one of steam was it's a double edged sword because the government is using this violence is wrong, very brutal violence. it's actually to deter and it doesn't have that as checks

because people are scared for their own lives. the lives of their children. essentially, protestors are risking their lives by staying on the streets for kind of the same time. it's also generating a lot of anger. so if it's a very dangerous game that are on a plane, we're trying to send us back home, but also feuilly more of what's making them angry. and so far they've persisted for monday. the 4th month, we're into the 4th month of us right now. and they haven't given up and obviously that we didn't says are still there to get mad or not answered by the government. so i think this cycle is just going to continue to talk about it. thanks for being with us and motors in washington. francis curtis community is held against 3rd march in a month in paris, protest as a mocking the 10th anniversary of an attack in which 3 kurdish activists died. that amounting justice for those killings. the march comes just over 2 weeks after another attack in the french capital, when a man opened far on a kurdish centre,
