so get ready for the break. a 40 to the answer to almost everything starts january 15th on d, w. ah, ah, this is d w. news alive from berlin, that the 2nd day of chaos in the u. s. congress. republicans failed to break an historic deadlock over a new house speaker. party hardliners blocked the front runner cabin a coffee in a 6th round of voting. also on the program with russia deploys new hypersonic

cruise missiles as vladimir putin armed forces come on, the growing pressure of a set facts on the battlefields in ukraine and berlin's mer, calls for a youth summit after a night of violence on the streets of the german capital and new year's eve leads to widespread damage and scores of arrests. ah, i'm all on soccer. welcome to the program. with again in washington and the 2nd dramatic day in the u. s. congress. republicans in the house of representatives have again failed to alex, a speaker for the 6th straight time, conservative kevin mccarthy lost his bid to lead the republican majority in the house. his election as being blocked by

a group of rights when members who defied an appeal by former president donald trump, to back mccarthy. lawmakers have adjourned until thursday, allowing the republicans to try to work out a new city. jeffries. earlier i spoke to d. w correspondent, assuming some a scandal in washington all 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 him. we could possibly also see a different candidate put forth. i mean, 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 a speaker is elected, the house cannot do anything. they cannot swear in congressmen and women, they can't vote on policies and they're stuck in a holding pattern. i've been seeing on us media today, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle expressing anger and frustration 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 unstuck. 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 a 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 u. s. 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 had 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 bruce. i mean,

don't forget that the republicans had hoped to do really well in those midterm elections in november. and they did not when nearly as many seats in congress as they had hoped that was already a blow to kevin mccarthy. now we think he can actually control his own lawmakers in congress. and we don't expect that to change if he comes in a speaker on a whole, this hasn't been very good for the republican party. you know this 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 good to talk to you. thank you very much. see me so much gone to the in washington dc and has to look at some other stories making headlines around the world. israel's new government has unveiled a plan to over a whole the judicial system and weak in the powers of the supreme court. the proposed measures would mean israel's parliament could override some supreme court decisions with a simple majority. critics say the plan will offend israel system of checks and

riot like seeds in the heart of berlin. the ushering in of the new year escalated into street violence in many cities across germany. as usual, berlin was one of the main hotspots with the intensity of this years. violence was described by police as far worse than in previous years. police officers were among those attack during the night, along with fire fighters, another member, so the emergency services one fire fire to had to be hospitalized. many others were injured. in berlin, a 145 were rested in connection with the rights of those attained 45 german citizenship. the knots turned the debate from a potential banner pyrotechnics into one about migration and integration. in its wheat, germany's interior minister nancy phaser said, we have a problem in major german cities with some young men with an immigrant background who despise our state. commit acts of violence,

district are not surprised that the violence flared up in their neighbourhood. but he is his absence. this part of berlin is the worst in these high rise buildings. i'm speechless, it's the same every year as well. they burn trash cans, set cars on fire or smash bus stops. to stella get cut, put out one job muscle will some do it because the have the police some because i think it's fun most or angry because of cove. it's more for some people. it's in a nature much. i'm into it because it's waste of money ish. mothers to one, to use fireworks. let them and all of my friends are into it like muscle. my to find is it's all summer and it's nice to let the fan down again. it's kind of normal for berlin bumper to las vegas muscle. and this is gun somal and been berlin's mayor francisco giff. i has called this summit against youth violence. it's a 1st attempt to find a solution to recurring problem. human induced global warming as
