on mileage past and re imagined that these teachings for relevance to gandhi's legacy starts january 28th on d. w. ah ah, business d w. news live from berlin a 2nd day of chaos in the u. s. congress. republicans failed to break and historic deadlock over a new house speaker. the right wing of the party blocks the front runner having the coffee in a 6th round of boats. also, the program european union officials recommend that people traveling to europe from

china should have a negative coven 19 test before boarding flies. it comes a, made a recent search in infections in china. and russia deploys new hypersonic cruise missiles vladimir putin's armed forces come on the growing pressure of a setback on the battlefield in ukraine. ah, i'm all on soccer. welcome to the program. we begin in washington where the u. s. congress remains mired in chaos after another failed attempt by republicans to elect a speaker of the house of representatives. for the 6th straight time, conservative of kevin mccarthy lost his bid to lead the republican majority in the lower house. his election is being blocked by

a group of 20 right. big members who defied an appeal by former president donald trump, to back mc coffee. mccarthy and dw correspondence to miss a mosque and the joys been off from washington to me. my coffee house now lost 6 votes, the house has a job and we'll gather again in a couple of hours. what can they possibly possibly do different this time? or nobody's really certain, if they will do something different, they're hoping that something might be different. i can tell you what's been happening behind closed doors in the hallways of congress. there is wrangling, horse trading, negotiating, taking place to try to find some sort of compromise that will allow representatives to finally elect a speaker of the house. that is happening on the republican side of the aisle. kevin mccarthy and his supporters are trying to get that 20 or so hard. right. republicans were standing in the way to close ranks behind them. we could possibly also see a different candidate put forth and the names are being thrown around. but as

things stand right now, no candidate has enough votes to be the speaker of the house. and in the meantime, we keep going around around. and i have to say again for our viewers, the reason this is the problem is that until the speaker is elected, the house cannot do anything. they cannot swear. and congressmen and women, they can't vote on policies and they are stuck in a holding pattern. i've been seeing on us media today, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle expressing anger and frustration and over the inability to get this process unstuck, if you will. and that includes president biden. he was asked about this on a trip to kentucky on wednesday, and he said he found this entire chaos as he called it embarrassing that congress can't get its act together essentially. so as to return, the democrats can now help the process get on stock as you say, by helping mccarthy and get something in return in a different era that might have been possible. but politics are really so tribal right now in the u. s. that

a deal between democrats and republicans in this situation would be toxic for many on both sides of the aisle. for one, most democrats are not interested in helping kevin mccarthy in particular. he's really cemented himself on the right wing of the republican party. he is as loyal supporter of the former president, just to give you an example after the storming of the capital 2 years ago, he condemned donald trump only to reverse course a few weeks later and try to block the investigation into what happened. so there really is no love lost there. and even though democrats have been up and down us media today saying this isn't good for the country. they can, in a way, benefit from voters watching this chaos unfold among the republican party as the republicans have promised to hit the ground running. and that is clearly not happening. so in a way, there is something to gain for democrats here to allow this to continue. got to keep going. now we'll have to see what happens in the next few hours. but if mccarthy ultimately wins this, surely he would find himself in a position of weakness as speaker yes,

certainly he would come in battered and bruised. i mean, don't forget that the republicans had hoped to do really well in those mid term elections in november. and they did not when nearly as many seats in congress as they had hope that was already a blow to kevin mccarthy. now we're seeing he can actually control his own lawmakers in congress. and we don't expect that to change if he comes in the speaker on a whole, this hasn't been very good for the republican party. you know, that's hard right? faction of the party. it's just a small number of lawmakers is wielding a huge amount of power over republicans on a whole. they will have to get their house in order, especially as we look ahead to next year old of course, 2024, a huge presidential election. so me get to talk to thank you very much. see me. some of the in washington dc has a look now at some more stories making headlines around the world. french president, emmanuel, my phone, says france will deliver light tanks to ukraine. the announcement came off for a phone call with ukraine's president polity. miss lensky. some other governments

have been reluctant to send similar weapons to avoid risk of escalating the conflict that a fall of israel's new government has unveiled a plan to overhaul the judicial system and weaken the powers of the supreme court. the proposed measures would mean israel's parliament could override some supreme court decisions with the simple majority. critics say the plan will up ends. israel system of checks and balances and undermine it's democratic institutions. iranian authorities have released permanent access to ronnie ali dusty from prison on bail images on. twitter showed her celebrating her release. the oscar award winner was arrested nearly 3 weeks ago. after criticizing a crackdown on anti government protests, she posted at least 3 messages in support of the protests on instagram before her account was disabled. the european union wants people traveling

to europe from china to produce negative cobit 19 test before boarding the flights . the a use crisis response group is also recommending that all passengers should wear face masks on flights to and from china. britain, the us, india, australia and japan already restrict cavellas from the chinese mainland. aging has vehemently rejected travel restrictions against it. it is planning to ease its own travel rules further, despite surging corona, virus infections or shanghai hospital pushed to the brink. doctors working a round the clock to save patients after the relaxation of the so called 0 cobit policy, lead to a spike in corona virus infections. yet even as hospitals a strain, many chinese are heading abroad after years of not being allowed to travel stoking fears, that if a new variant were to emerge,

there would be no containing it. in december half the passengers on 2 flights to italy, we're later found to have covered italy started testing all arrivals from china. as more countries joined in china's foreign ministry pushed back both and what the entry restrictions adopted by some countries targeting china lack scientific basis . and some of these excessive practices are unacceptable. we are family opposed to attempt to manipulate the cove at 19 measures for political purposes and will take count images that day. it's unclear just what counter measures are on the table. but the patchwork of requirements has led to confusion as well. the voice is the family and my, my brother who has not been allowed to travel for 3 years. he is coming from china and didn't know anything about the testing. we had to tell him before he bordered to be careful because they were going to do a p c r on arrival. let me say radio that it's been 3 years since the corona virus

started. it's trip around the world. and the end of the journey is still not in sight. professor steven van goat is an expert on barella g, an head of the belgian institute for health earlier when i asked him about the ears discussions on coordinated entry restrictions on travelers from china. well, it's, it all has to do with a lack of transparency and a lack of trust. i think that's really the issue here. we have difficulty in believing the figures from china. and they're also some distrust that maybe we are not fully aware of what kind of a variety of the fighters are circulating over there. and it's really this, these distrust which is a public sensitivity and also a political sensitivity. and i think this is really what he's playing here and we in belgium, we propose that it would be groups not so much to impose restrictions,

but specifically when people return from china and did the phillips symptoms, we didn't, we didn't one week after returning from china they always get tested, and we also try to characterize the fighters that they have been infected with as a way of doing an independent control to see what kind of mutations are circulating in china. and whether discourse bulls, which the deep of the china is giving us. so that is important, i think do this independent check or surveillance. but for me really restrictions or even asking vaccination certificates and the pre departure testing requirements . i think there of relatively limited to tell you that was stephen uncooked of the belgian institute for health, not russia president vladimir putin has announced the deployment of you hyper sonic cruise myself. he says the frigate, armed with the weapons, is now on its way to the atlantic in a show of force. russia, china,

and the united states have been in a race to develop hyper on a weapons, highly desirable because of this speed and maneuverability. by a video link, russian president vladimir, who tim joined, descending a ceremony for a new frigates equipped with misses. the celebration looks like a destruction tactic after russian troops suffered heavy losses in her son. and my gift criticism of the military leadership is mounting. moscow says 809 russian soldiers were killed in my caseworker dozens more than the death till it initially announced it thought the men were killed in the school building where they were staying in part of a russian controlled area of east in ukraine. military officials say the soldiers themselves were partly to blame. no, such a commission is working to investigate the circumstances of the incident. but it's already obvious that the main reason for what happened was the switching on and massive use, contrary to the ban of mobile phones by the troops who were in the zone of enemy

weapons. this allowed the enemy to locate the troops for myself. strike o like karen tomorrow on tuesday, people around russia a morning, the dead investigations by the military's commission ongoing. meanwhile, some politicians on military commentators eventing the anger at the russian military leadership on the online service. telegram and calling for revenge. deputy, do me a speaker, andrew mcvey, if says housing, troops and buildings rather than bunker's is akin to helping the enemy. and while russia steps up its attacks on ukraine civilian infrastructure, it plans to protect itself with a new hypersonic missiles system. we're through that just because i am sure that such powerful weapons will make it possible to reliably protect russia from potential external threats.

with that, put in sent off the new frigate on its hypersonic cruise missiles for now on a training mission human and use global warming as being blamed for a poor started the winter sports season in many of europe's most famous ski resorts . lack of snow means some have not opened at all. others have had to close or rely on manmade snow to keep skiers and snowboard us on the slopes. it looks like a summer trip up the mountain, but this is january and europe. green grass blankets, hills that should be covered and snow right now. and ski slaves have been confined to a narrow lane. as a school bush, it's really weird. everything is green, left and right of the slope. if the temperature is of up to 10 degrees celsius, have caused the last snow on these slaves to melt. and what little snow you see here didn't fall from the sky near the hammer and the 2 had fresh,

natural snow in salem, see about 40 centimeters. this will be far too little, so we filled it out with artificial snow because of that we've cope well, it's with it won't nickel monday. the last significant snowfall in the area was at the start of december. ski slope operate as a feeling the pinch. pittsville helps as a main season. we should be hosting up to 4000 guests ambia. but now there's only half of the usual guess. switzerland and france have also been feeling the heat. numerous slaves remain closed over the festive season, forcing holiday makers to consider taking up alternative sporting activities with weather trulia or not on invalid. we hear the news about global warming. i don't know, but the fact us that we can't deny it. if i take you out of the burden you fog and rain instead of snow,

while by no means comparable to the humanitarian disasters caused by global warming around the world. the current state of european ski slopes is yet another sign that the climate emergency affects all of us. and with that, you are up to date, daniel winter will be here after the break with t w business and news about mass layoffs in the tech sector. and remember, as always, there's more news and analysis on d, w dot com on the la saga and for me and the team here and bill. and thanks for watching a bye to put you into the to day this means flying to a foreign planet. in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route and the.
