somber ceremony in the city of samara to morn, soldiers killed in ukraine. people who lived here are among those who died in a new year's eve bombing in la keith care. the kremlin claims 63 soldiers were killed. but you, crane and critics and russia put the death toll in the hundreds so that we get there to honor the memory of oil dick villagers of the special military operations. we get there because it's hard for everyone with when it's hard, we should be together, which mr. huge piles of rubble of all that remains from the bombing. now, russian nationalists and some lawmakers are demanding punishment for commanders. they say ignored dangers. some reports claim soldiers were located next to

ammunition depot, which exploded in the strike. others say people had been able to use the russian mobile phones, giving away their location to ukrainian forces. the strike has not flowed russia's own shelling of ukraine. it's defense ministry claiming responsibility for fresh attacks and the de nits region. one of them destroyed this ice rink, which local se was operating as a humanitarian warehouse. as a result of 3 hits an ice rink and the center of town was damaged, as well as part of the residential and industrial sector. robins, ukrainian authorities report that one person was killed and another was injured and the strikes. denovia correspond and roland gone to rank and told me more about the

russian attacks on the ice rink and on as well. so far we have contradictory points from the ukranian and the russian side, ukrainian side saying that only the us mostly that a skating rink. it was or ice rink was damaged, and 1000 was, was killed and are not making any details on other objects that were also hit. and the russian officials are claiming that they destroyed at least 2 of the m. hi mazama rocket launchers and those are harmless, rocket launchers were used to, to strike the russian barracks and mckee, if go on the new year's eve and of the russians also claimed that they destroyed some check military vehicles and ammunition decal. so we have contradictory points, but we cannot verify them at this stage through early reports about more ukrainian casualties in russian unofficial sources, but nor confirmation of that so far. and united states republicans are struggling

to impose order in the house of representatives as the new congress gathers for the 1st time since november's mid term elections. no party has failed in its 1st 2 attempts to elect a house speaker. the front runner kevin mccarthy did not secure enough votes from his peers. he is the 1st majority party leader, not to win the early valid in a century going up and our course on. and carly, nancy moines, joins me and washington, currently not 2 rounds of voting and still no speaker. what happens now? it's pretty remarkable. nicole. we're now expecting more ballads and perhaps even more ne speeches. there are many republicans, many congressmen, incomers women who are not willing to vote for nominee. kevin mccarthy, that many of their own party, the republican party party mccarthy at would have needed at least $218.00

a votes to be the next speaker. and so far, 19 congress, man and congresswoman from his own party are voting against him. we will see it for the next to votes. some republicans could be persuaded and if they decide to vote for mccarthy in the next round or if they perhaps to vote at present, which would not be considered an official a vote. so again, a situation that can go on for several hours and it could include a break for the republican party together. a and if they don't agree on voting for mccarthy or in a new nominee, this could take more hours and perhaps even days. and the u. s. congress will be completely greatly gridlocked until the vote for speaker is done. this shows how incredibly divided republicans are. this is again, an unprecedented moment also and you know, as poly takes, what we're seeing today has not happened since 923 estimate as you mentioned. now,

whoever. and whenever mccarthy or one of his peers becomes speaker, there will be a republican majority in the house. and congress look san course for partisan gridlock as well. besides the procedural gridlock that you just mentioned. what did that mean for the biden administration? as he just said, regardless of the speaker, the majority in the house of representatives is held by republicans. and this means that the legislative agenda for the president of the united states will be debt. he and the democrats will not be able to pass any big legislations. there are some bipartisan legislations on a domestic politics that might go through, but definitely not the big ones, possibly v 8 for ukraine, that could be one with the bipartisan support, but that is not clear yet. mccarthy, what will republican control of the house mean for america's allies around the world?

the executives is still very close to their allies around the world. but still, many of the legislators pushed by congress in the last year have been focused on national economic interests. this is probably not going to change and regarding the war in ukraine, b, u. s. has been one of the biggest funders to support the ukraine. they just voted last month for an a package of $45000000000.00. but that was the old congress. we will have to see what the new congress s t w corresponding currently nationwide washington. thank so much for those insights and here's a quick look at some more stories making headlines around the world today. authorities in working faso are investigating the deaths of at least 20 people in the north western town of known rights activists blame arms civilians from a pro government militia for the killings. jihadist insurgency has displaced nearly 2000000 people since 2015. iran has marked the 3rd
