now, $180.00 and u. s. republican kevin mccarthy takes over a speaker of the house and dramatic 15th ballots, overcoming opposition from his own ranks and sport round the dread miss out on going top i valley gas college, lottie, sy, somebody shops defeat. listen to one away to melanie, and he can go on there has been little less up and fighting at east and ukraine despite a unilateral cease fire declared by russia. during the orthodox christmas. moscow says that its forces repelled for ukrainian attacks, but that its troops will otherwise hold fire until the end of saturday. it's the 1st orthodox christmas since rushes invasion 11 months ago. and as charles stratford reports now from keith, for the 30000000 members of the church, attending mass is not only a spiritual acts, but

a political one. 0 churches have stood here for almost a 1000 years. cubes, lumber cathedral is one of the most important orthodox christian institutions in the world. but this is christmas service is different. they give it 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. she has them, 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've ever supports in like her russian or z and put in so she was

so know when we can have really bring in church. so i'm really glad to, oh, sentiments like these have been growing since roches illegal annexation of crimea and areas of the dom bus in 2014. they had now been institutionalized in the country that suffering a full scale invasion and movement in months of war as the newly formed orthodox church of your crying holes christmas pres. here for the 1st time, the ukranian church affiliated with moscow has no choice but to hold a service at another site close by you crean accuses it of supporting 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. sort of magical separately. let us have tom was sure. 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 inquiries tube, 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 few of 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. rushes 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 q martin is a professor all 1st. so c, ology of religion at kings college london. he joins us now. live good heavy with us, sir, sir. thank any thanks. did for being with us. professor. obviously the, the orthodox vision is something that both our churches, sir, share up that awesome mark. differences between the 2 under i good to hear your question because then the connection wasn't, wasn't, wasn't great. if i could do that, that's why i said that despite them sharing the orthodox tradition, there are some marked differences between the churches on the well, yes, absolutely. i can do as you say ukrainians and the russians do the same eastern orthodox tradition, but they also belong to different nations. and there are some historical

differences between the ukrainians and the russians and nations. and if you talk about the differences between the russian orthodox church, moscow, but the arcades and the orthodox church of ukraine, the difference is quite, quite remarkable. but to begin with the leadership of the russian orthodox church, moscow. but the arcade party, r, q u, i supported, fully supported the invasion off ukraine. and moreover, in september they bought the ark, went as far as to say that, but just a beating in this war. and for the russians fighting against your grains, he's a sacrifice for their motherland. and those who do it will have that seems washed away. it's, it's remarkable statement. ok, so are, are the cranium churches,

all ukraine in churches, by the way, both russian bulls ukraine of church, moscow, but the archies and the auto church of ukraine actually support the ukrainian fights when am i right in thinking that the the orthodox church in ukraine allowed people to celebrate christmas on the, on the 25th of december this year for the 1st time. yes. her son ukrainians. and is the guy to move them from below. i chose to celebrate the orthodox christmas on the train to sales or just a sort of thing. it's all for december and also on the 7th of january, according to the orthodox edition eastern orthodox tradition. and by doing so, these ukrainians want to indicate that you feel like they're understanding of their

identity. that while being on those creations they belong to the western world as they put it, western civilization. and also see there's a way of protesting against the invasion of their country and the church over a year last year, the ukrainian, the, all those church of ukraine allows its followers to celebrate christmas. twice on the 20th you can just send, but i'm on the 7th day so far from, from bringing up the 2 communities together at a time of war. it would it be a fair assessment to say that that, that the split between the 2, the 2 churches of the moment is, is actually pulling people apart further apart. so i will be good. it, it did take it exactly like this because i think as far as ukrainians are concerned

. ok, and this is something that i would probably put differently for from what, what you're going to be set for from what we know we're all ukrainians most. let's say your gradients support the ukrainian wolf, full, full day, full for their charity is full against the russian invasion. ah, if anything, both ukrainian churches extra support for governance in this war. but the real reefed is between the leadership. if you like all the russian orthodox church more school, but they are kate and the ukranian and the the orthodox church of ukraine and by the way, the it putting an orthodox church which formerly under the jurisdiction of the

moscow buddy. i can also declare its autonomy for all the russian orthodox jewish moscow. but they are kate and many, many based, and bishops no longer mentioned the popular, but jackie deal in the sermons, which is a, a not looks tradition. so i wouldn't say that the speeds and creeds, father divisions within the ukrainians. the visions are quite different. ok, good talk to professor. thanks again for being with us that said professor, not a chatting that in london. my pleasure. think the u. s. has confirmed another military aid package for ukraine worth some $3000000000.00 that includes 50 infantry fighting vehicles, which can fall anti tank missiles may be used in the gulf. and iraq was it'll take a couple of months. basically i to get this capability,

feel dead to get the ukrainians trained and that, that new training program that we're starting, it's roughly a battalion's 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. the european union says that it's a pulled off to iran, hangs to men for crimes committed during the protests over the death of masa. meaning, the 2 men were found guilty of killing a member of the power military in november 22 year old. i mean, he died in police custody in september. she'd been detained for violating the country's dress code. bob monday is a political analyst, a professor at the university of toronto. he believes there's little popular support for the hanged men and says that whites organizations have an ulterior motive. we have to be careful about the human rights organizations which are funded . i, western governments are funded by institutions closely related with western

governments, amnesty international, we know, supporting nato and honest on. and it is close to a good with the political establishment in the united states. we have to remember that over 60 police officers were murdered during this period. if you compare this to the united states, found the roughly comparing it with taking into account that the population of the united states is 4 times greater than iran. that would mean like 226060 police officers in the united states being killed by ryan. so i think if we take a look at things in, in this sort of context, then it would be far more complicated than what these western human rights organizations are saying. now go to savvy as a journalist and host of the iran podcast. she says the recent executions are really fueling more dissent. this is like the government by rushing through these

cases and wild humor, right? organizations international specific the 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 and the sensors that this is what's going to happen to you and that they're using any need to try to crash the protests, to essentially send the co testers back home. the previous 2 execution follow the same pattern, young man, failure, known, executed through rush courts, and also abruptly in the early hours of the day. and this time also, it seems to be the same to men, $20.21. and both hang, especially. then the goal of this is still here, but what is actually doing is generating more anger's generating even more protest receipt. funeral of poor testers turning into new quotes. has them felt actually

the 2 men that were hands were arrested around the tests that were for the funeral of one of the other killed protesters. so it just seems to be generating more and more interval of protest and essentially energizing more people to join this body of movement. and this year with a nissan from 0 still to come on the program trying to survive a devastating drought. we report from east africa, the hunger and displacement affecting thousands in the region. and we made a man who fled the crackdown by mere mas military, but now faces an uncertain future. as a refugee and tie lamps put in sport, the champs got off to an impressive start of the gulf comp football action. coming up later in the oh, lou

during his campaign. yeah, little hook. media bianca says she will not give up from the expectations she had when she voted for him 18 months ago. 11 the laws are made to favorite. 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. many protesters here see kathy's removal from office and arrest me kim, medical prisoner disorders cause to your order, the dissolution of congress. and the rest of the prosecutor investigating him on corruption allegations. now he faces charges of rebellion and up to 20 years in prison. oh, i see a one with more than 80 percent of the vote. although people here say he didn't fulfill any of the promises he made this a customer's point about. because not allow me to worry though dusty

you, these farmers see their expectations for better living conditions slipping away. they blame the new precedent. deena vulnerability, i have an idea, amer sallie castillo promised agrarian reform, 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 was 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 is key estimate consoles, the damping we are so tired, all of us annoying the elderly children, janice, but we're all taking part in the fight and that's the only way loans come. if they don't listen to us, we will continue with our fight. you welcome to what one month on bidder castillo as a symbol fading away, but the people of rudy bessy his promises are now a force for renewed hope and the only way for change they say is to continue fighting mcginnis and just i just need a deep a booty, mac fuller, august as

a correspondence at arbor se the espana, which is a spanish language newspaper. she joins us now live from bruce capital la lima. good to have you with us, sir. paula said d. my water has been in power. now. what a month and people still unhappy, what's the problem with her? or with congress? the problem is with the congress because it is doing the land of the government. now below are there has asked them and they bill me and to give it to bring peace, to calm down on or to care there for the economy versions and i look on yours. but in the other hand, you have the congress, a once to bus last, to remove their electra going these. and because they can see there a late have commit fraud in the election of better castillo into south,

on 31. and they want to remove also they almost mom will investigate that. it's during the bras that they brought this. so the congress doesn't it? have any connection with the people on the streets. so the people on the street are getting angry for a because of them and d, w at the have any, any power it to the congress bad to have a lot of meeting with them. and for the people keys allied with the congress, which is not too bad. this is a problem for dean of a lot of the because we the then we are not sure what will happen in the next months. so what, what is going to bring this to a head you think, i'm interested, extent, from what you're saying at the new president is stuck between a rock and a hard place here. this, there's no, there's no way of solving this easily. our quickly is exactly. and in the, in,

if you are, we are yes. listen that the report from my dana sanchez and the people are really angry. the one change they want a better situation. and they asking for a new constitution and closed the course, which is not a is not the realistic solution of the broadening because the no longer the can close the congress and, and can it you can solve day the, the brought in right now. so i see the, the only way that they know what they will will will solve this, this problem in the next few months. she can resign a bracey then and, and move the congress and remove the congress. and they will do an election this year. but isn't, isn't that what her predecessor tried to do? where he tried to dissolve congress, didn't he?

yes, man, he tried to do that. i as a way to do a to b dot lesson, to warn, doesn't go to the game. he do that, but he says that he will be a he and i called the dad. and he, that's in do a b with a moderately. so went with that he, that same program, any, any, any, any exceed to the i solution he went to exit from the guest, is he 12, he has like a 6 case of correction. i gave him and his family. so better castillo, the only the only exit to these brought him, he's a young says i will close the congress, but he doesn't have any power to do that because he doesn't have the army or the police with him. so that's why he is now in the jail and he's and he's gonna be

good for a 1000000000, and he will stay there 18 months. but it's been good to talk to you many facts today for being with us. paula gross, the in lima. ne. com has returned to the mexican city of korea can. after a day of violence, 29 people were killed when members of the powerful sinaloa cartel confronted security forces. the government is deployed an additional $1000.00 troops to the city. the violence broke out when police arrested a drug kingpin on thursday, a video guzman is the son of imprison drug, lord l. chapo. an important figure in the civil law cartel. oh yeah, there is still no security. no one is telling us everything will be fine. it still doesn't feel good. how would he though? and then we'll call me or we can walk around and few waiting for god to see was and that nothing else happens. i log on, i go out, afraid that they will stop us again. i work here at the supermarket, la, 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. i'll official reports 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 flipped enough hoops to secure the position, the speaker of the us house of representatives, a speaker the how 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 4 people and he didn't. 2 votes of president 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, what would 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 voting began again. when congress women expressed 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 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 important. 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 it up on capitol hill in washington. miss cole, lifestyle to capitol hill. i'm 0. so hydro castro is that for us. i did tell us

more about the concessions that mccarthy have to make to get the vote she needed. adrian, the speakership is now a much diminished version after what happened over the last 5 days. in fact, reporters asking one of the leaders of this faction that had been opposing a car thes election mac gates. he essentially said the reason he flipped his vote at the end was because mccarthy had already agreed to give him all of the concessions that these ultra conservatives had demanded. what are those? well, now the speakership can be challenged by just one person, one representative halling for a stat vote. also, the ultraconservative wing will have at least a 3rd of seats on the very powerful rules committee of the house that matters because this is the committee that controls the gate as far as which pieces of

legislation are even allowed to be considered on the house floor also, when it comes to government spending, this is what those ultra conservatives are particularly keen about. they want to limit spending and now on government funding bills. any one has the ability to call for an amendment and then a vote. basically extending an already strenuous process that in a reporting ms in our, in our experience can already go on for days and days, sometimes up to the very last minute before the government could default or shut down. we can expect a lot more of that going on now that this faction has the power to do so. again, their priorities of that the house freedom caucus has always been to limit government spending and they've made very clear for the last 5 days. it is also to disrupt the business of governing and we can expect more of that in the next 2 years. how did your castro lives in washington but effects? indeed, heidi clark texaco is

a former democratic state senator from north carolina. he says the chaos of the last few days is a preview of what's to come in the news session of congress. i think the idea that 6 months from now people are going to forget this. the asco of this week, i think, is ridiculous to the very confessions that mccarthy had to make. and who he made those 2. and you talk about the rules committee, this is where every bill has to go to make a decision whether it be heard which meeting will be sent to it is the probably most important committee and the fact that the 3rd of that is can 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. many of those 20

people who held out or 2020 election deniers. that means that they're still telling the big why that donald trump is probably the election feel good when i think about that for a minute. these are the people turn. you're making these incredible sessions to on the running of the house of representatives. you've got chaos written all over the house. can there be possibly be a positive agenda speaker that comes from that based on the concessions he's made. these are not people who interested in governing. they're interested in chaos. around 200 people have been moved to safety and a hill town in northern india, off the homes, developed severe cranks. the problem is believed to be caused by shifting ground underneath the town of joshua, math in the himalayas. it's a popular destination for pilgrims and tourists. was prompted the construction of

it's appalled off to iran hang 2 men for crimes committed during protests. over the death of master armine had been found guilty of killing a member of the power military. 22 year old, i mean he died in police custody in september and ukrainian to celebrating orthodox christmas under the shadow of war. fighting continues on the frontlines, despite a ceasefire called by russia's president, let it be uprooted. of christmas celebrations of all sup intends for orthodox palestinians. a christian cemetery has been desecrated in jerusalem, and church and lamb, this being occupied by israeli settlers. but at smith reports from ramallah in the occupied westbank. oh, the wills, oldest christine community says it's feeling the pressure like never before. rama's orthodox church was packed the 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 ever been. few here see that trend reversing. who thought, hey larissa, but most of the plans of these extreme parties and what the believing are based on expelling the other from holy places in jerusalem and all of styled it. 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, or what drives most palestinians to leave. church leaders here have warned the christians become the target of frequent and sustained attacks by fringe radical groups in jerusalem. and the holy land, it's a reminder 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. bottom 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. 2 teenagers have been arrested. william m t out of the list, the hard we are exposed to is there 80 aggression and settlers edition did not lead 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 are returned to the palestinians who have the right to it, and that rate will never be lost. mcclellan, aren't they? the whole world, the west and the are well, can see what is happening here. we hear the words that we did not see there actually thought about the nasa she 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
