butterflies. epic migration is thousands of kilometers long. now scientists say they may have found out why they're able to fly so far. the . i'm clear, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. the us house of representatives has voted to remove republican speaker. kevin mccarthy is the 1st time in history. the speaker has been voted out of the position and it comes after a remarkable showdown between mccarthy and a small group of hard right conservatives from his own party. mccarthy described his ousting as personal and said he will not stand for re election are just days after narrowly avoiding a government shut down. a rebellion and amid the republican ranks, has trust congress into chaos. 8 hard line republicans joined with democrats and
10:02 am
voting out speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy ending a rocky tenure for the republican lawmaker. the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is here by declared vacant right winger, mat gates a controversial fire brand from florida lab charge to i was to mccarthy. he said, the former speaker didn't do enough to curb government spending and made too many concessions to democrats. kevin mccarthy is a feature of this war. he has risen to power by collecting special interests, money, and redistributing that money in exchange for favors. we are breaking the fever now and we shouldn't like to speak of his battery. during the vote, several of mccarthy's supporters warned that a vote against him was irresponsible the house. kevin mccarthy think long and hard before you plunges into chaos,
10:03 am
because that's where we're headed. if we vacate speaker shift in an address after his removal, mccarthy said he thought the vote was the product of a flawed political system. in today's world, if you're sitting in congress and you took a gamble to make sure government was still open. and 8 people can throw you out of speaker and the democrats who said they wanted to keep government open. i think you've got a real divide. i think you've got a real institutional problem. mccarthy also said he will not seek reelection. congress is at a standstill until a successor is elected. another government shut down deadline is moving next month . so what does all this mean for us politics? i put that question to dw william glue croft to affectively. i guess it's a shut down through the back door given how i'm president of the situation is we just heard earlier. this is never really happened before in the house of
10:04 am
representatives. so people are scrambling to their rule books and to the procedural experts to see what happens now. but basically, um, no work can get done. no legislative work can get done without a speaker of the house, a leader of the house of representatives. there is a temporary still in speaker of the house, but that person is really only empowered to basically see to the next speaker of the house, the real speaker of the house to be voted in. and there's no, no, there's no knowing of when that next speaker might be who it might be, a republicans or in disarray, and democrats have a seat or radical chance of having someone of their party lead, lead congress. but practically speaking, not since they don't have the majority. so as you said, shut down is on the table. ukraine funding is on the table and just the general, you know, data the business of government, of passing laws can't really happen until there is a new speaker of the house. completely unclear when that might happen. and all of this, the result of the fact that 8 hard right conservatives within the republican party wanting to get rid of mccarthy. democrats could have stepped into save them,
10:05 am
but instead we've seen him out of the day, 22162210 votes. can you help us make sense of exactly what is going on there? yeah, it's pretty bunkers. politics. what we've been seeing here these last several days, even by us, standards that have just been getting more and more bunkers over the last couple of years. i mean, let's back up a couple of days where we had a narrowly averted government shut down. that only happened because a kevin mccarthy after trying to make some kind of deal with his really hard line republicans to pass some kind of budget or continuing resolution to fund the government. couldn't get it done. when to the democrats got democratic supports to avoid this shut down and, and got blamed for allying himself with the democrats. i know a few days later you have people like matt gates and other really hard language publicans who were accusing mccarthy of selling out the republicans. the democrats getting democratic support to our mccarthy. so there's a lot of shenanigans going on here. democrats and thought about maybe sitting this
10:06 am
went out, but they ultimately decided. mccarthy has not called out donald trump. and all the efforts that trumping his allies have done to do to, to seed, you know, misinformation and to at the instability with the election in 2020. she has not been on their side at all. and he tried to throw democrats under the bus for blaming them for the shutdowns, but the democrats have no love lost from a party and were happy also for their own reasons, to see them go to see him go. so they've decided to let the republicans get their own house in order of how are republicans then going to deal with the fact that they're essentially being held to ransom by a friends group of hard. right? conservatives are right. well, if we're talking of ransom, then we're talking about hostages, but then i think we need to be talking about stockholm syndrome. because let's clarify the misnomer that there's somehow just sort of, you know, agreeable republican party. and then these little bit of crazies on the side, i mean, the republican party has moved so far to the right member kevin mccarthy,
10:07 am
himself a voted to help or tried to overturn the election results in 2021 of many, many republicans who either actively tried to overturn his result or has not publicly repudiated donald trump and his allies, who believe the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. so it's not like you have not. gates is friends on the very far right. you kind of have the that the right hand, the very, very far right. so republicans themselves are in disarray. essentially sleeping in a bed that they made by, by, you know, coddling and not calling out the really, really hard line. members of they are part of who absolutely do not want to vote, work with democrats under any circumstances, want know by parts and ship at any time. and some of them don't even believe that joe price. joe, joe biden is a legitimate president of the united states, and of course he is. um, so this is kind of a chaos of the republicans own making. and then on top of that, all the bi partisan discord between republicans and democrats. it's a going to be
10:08 am
a very hard read going forward. william, thank you so much for that analysis. that is d. w william croft we can take a look now at some other world news headlines at this hour. a former russian state tv journalist, who protested against the ukraine war live on air, has been sentenced over 8 years in prison. in absentia. marina of san nicko was found guilty of spreading false information about russia's army in a separate incident. she fled the country a year ago while under house arrest for at least 15 people have been killed in a fire at an illegal oil refinery in southern nigeria. the boys broke out at a make shift for finery before spreading to a nearby oil reservoir. locals war and the death soul could rise as dozens of people were on site when the fire started. and d, as army says 23 soldiers are missing. after flash flooding, hit a mountainous region in the north east. search operations are underway and seeking state but are being hampered by brain and thunderstorms. experts,
10:09 am
a climate change has made the monsoon season longer and more intense to europe now and a bus carrying tourist has a crash near venice, italy killing at least 21 people. the boss are plunged off or raised road and some of the survivors are seriously injured. a holiday and venice turned into a twisted mess of metal and fire. the cause of the accident is that i'm clear about in a horrifying sequence of events. the bus via dolphin eva passed on to electricity lines, and best into flight ins. firefighters reported some of the 1st victims they found, had perished in the inside, and one of the saucy people aboard the bus more than half lost their lives. most of the rest were taken to hospital in critical condition. allowed the loose
10:10 am
gigabyte of the use, the bus went off the road from a height of more than 10 meters. you need 3. 0, now it's a battery powered electric bus. so it caught fire. he saw north carolina, they found all the people inside the bus, somebody engulfed in flames about the scene that the fireman meant it was really difficult. yeah. for a boss, i really bad of it on so my, so i'm in the middle of the feature that i've got a roof that i bought the bus for most of the tourists from ukraine, germany, france, and corporation. the on the map of venice described the soon as apocalyptic, and declared an official period of morning or 19 day to you to died in the hospital source 21. now, some of them are ok then there was some critical part of one of the some buttons for children died. so now the intuitive being transferred to 5 nearby hospitals, while at the scene of the crash and inquiry into how and why it happened is under
10:11 am
way. in iran, a 16 year old girl is in a coma after being assaulted by the morality police that is according to the kurdish rights group and got the group says or meet a girl. one was a tax and a to run subway for violating the as long as republics had job rules. state media released this edited video of the incident. iranian authorities are denying the claims of saying she fainted. a similar incident last year sparked mass protests in iran, as as i'd like to bring in to see myself at a political analyst who formerly hosted a talk show for iran, international tv, and independent news stations. get more on the story. i see my thank you so much for joining us. what more can you tell us about this case and what kind of reaction we've seen in iran? hi, um, what we know is not much more than you yesterday. well,
10:12 am
the facts that you know, it's just you was a 16 years old. she wasn't her friends, she was hit by tomorrow that you put it inside and mitchell is tied to the big and all the tube. and she was taken to a military hospital. conte slides which belongs to the air force, this forces of evil. so this is what we know the father and mother has been taken to do some sort of forced convention force interview on national tv comfort. and it confirming that she was, she had problems and she had spaces. but what the witnesses are saying that she was hit by the mother to floors. and she has been in intensive care unit since she was get a taken to the hospital. the public opinion is extremely sensitive and that everyone is talking about it is a trend on applause or c, 3 to everyone is writing about it. and they love people are telling you how similar
10:13 am
is this case with mass. i mean, is that which does i do custody of to my place last year? almost said sort of course that since then at the mass protests that followed, we have seen many more women not wearing head scarves. is it clear whether this now is an isolated incident or is it just being picked up again because we have video footage. but there has been cases in which we don't have video case video footage devices. but this is an ongoing resistance between woman and this not going to populate. i mean, this is a constant fight which both sides are trying to maintain on keep big. la women are on the street listing their life every 2nd that they belong to be the job . i have been living in iran for over most of my life, like most of my charge with the new was the i know how dangerous it is. how scary
10:14 am
is to go and become funded by the monitor police by see, this is a civil resistance. i'm women are likely but in a risk in their life. and so we have this interview on national television. you've set them aside from that. have we seen this incident affects people going out into the streets? has there been much reaction to this? otherwise the haven't heard about any kind of demonstration. if you mean that there hasn't been a demonstration, but we know that this hospital it says, is surrounded by security forces. they have a very clear presence inside the hospital. they iris that the journalist who would dare to report about our mutual galvan situation, their release. so after a few hours, but the government and the summit for state is trying to somehow control everything around this not to get it out of the like what happened in my so, i mean,
10:15 am
they said they did try to control and manage everything related to this well, thank you so much for joining us to speak on this important issue. that is see much so many things for your time today. thank you. are now since the beginning of russia's a full scale invasion of ukraine. hundreds of thousands of men have volunteered to defend their country. but now one and a half years later, ukraine needs to fill the ranks through conscription. so i'm ukrainians are refusing to fight and looking for ways to leave the country dw, as correspondent, max, send or file this report from ukraine. southern border with romania romania is just across the border from here. but most to create new men cannot crossover. at least not legally martial law requires men of fighting age to stay in the country for which documents are one way of leaving. sick forest and mountain passes are another
10:16 am
. more than 15000 have been detained in ukraine most trying to illegally cross into romania. these border guards are trying to stop them tonight. what do you mean? and i see you are in charge of securing a 12 kilometers strip to enforce the law and save lives to the level. it is a mazda area you can get lost here. that's the reason that, that, that wild animals baz eating between run into a band. the forest with less than 2 dozen bodies have been found in ukraine. southern border region since the beginning of russia's full scale invasion. we are told that the route used to be popular amongst cigarette smokers, but now it's mostly used by people trying to leave you alone. don't just richard, geez. but the more because i'm afraid, because of marshal often, that's a stay of freight that we live, retain them, and immediately book them for find them and take them to the recruitment center with this order, if you think is
10:17 am
a but i mean come on where they will be processed and potentially sent to fight trainings soldiers. this bill barton, the nearby city of tennessee says you can do more than you think in the beginning of the war. hundreds of thousands joined the armed forces as volunteers, one and a half years later, many of them are exhausted and wounded or dead. most of recruits are drafted despite overwhelming public support for the ukraine and military. not everyone is willing to become part of it. men between 18 and 60 can be called up for military service, but there are a number of exemptions such as for fathers, have at least 3 children, essential workers and those taken care of a sick parents. and then there are medical exemptions, and this is how most people start to draft. the thousands of men are believe to have left the country through bribing. the officials, criminal groups advertised their services on telegram confirming a disability for example,
10:18 am
can cost up to $3500.00 us dollars. this is only possible with the help of official assistance in august, the heads of all regional military recruitment centers were dismissed. as part of a larger move against corruption and the defense sector. she was because at the symbol of the 3 kept on saying that it was total corruption. so in our table that these were all the isolated cases where we see that we have 0 tolerance is for cases of corruption or other line nation and seem for little see for there is a human fact to talk to this thing. we try to respond to any problems of what the not moved you. you can provide me with some ukranian men do question why they should serve and are determined to find ways to avoid being drafted such as maxine the 22 year old to, to our, to says he supports the military, but he himself won't fight. i caught us at the surface, i think having our own country is much more valuable than being a refugee somewhere to that's not the price. they are us to pay with disability or
10:19 am
death this higher than the value of having a country. now, let me know, i would rather be a refugee than di will say, and there's no guarantee that the country will exist. often my desk limited to the hosp, the but the with the most of the details as he will leave if necessary. i want to know how he feels about fellow ukrainians who can't such as those living under russian occupation lock. so i was like or yeah, but i can go to war only for one reason. these guys are only for my friends and relatives, it's nice. they much, i don't know people, for example, from behind my or if they don't know me. and i've never seen me before, basically they don't exist for me. you have the input and ok, and i don't exist for them. but this is a very strange idea to fight for people. i've never even met back at the border loading me and i still haven't found any traces of illegal crossings yet. in august
10:20 am
alone, the authorities prevented 247 crossings along the border. and then lastly, everyone has their own opinion as i felt myself and i, i know how it was there was like, i don't wish for anyone to be there because it is not easy. but everyone has their own destiny and everyone next their own decisions as he cannot judge them. he tells us that like the hundreds of thousands of ukrainians who are fighting the russians, they to have a duty and are committed to fulfill it. but what happens to those who get caught trying to dodge military service and ukraine? i put that question to the of these correspond nick connelly in kiff. well, some people are sent to joe, we have a jefferson is the zip, 2 or 3 is pretty regularly, many or just sent directly to the draft office to be sent to fight. but that also raises kind of mixed responses from the people, the front lines of the one hand. they have been fighting often since being the will
10:21 am
and don't see why other people shouldn't. but equally, some people say it is a privilege to defend one's country and they don't want people that they want to rely and have their lives depending on people doing their job if they don't want to be there. so it's a very difficult and very emotional subject, but certainly it is a pretty dangerous journey that we saw that report lines across the board of adults . people have lost their lives trying to do so. and just give us a sense of perspective here. do we know what, how wide spread this really is of their own kind of good to see guys from the printing government. i think there's the very little limit for them to make this more transparent. we get a sense that this is a question of maybe tens of thousands of people in the country over about 40000000 . so it's not huge really significant in terms of statistics. and also there are people who are inside the country who haven't tried to leave, who have just claimed some kind of medical disability falsely who are trying to lie low in country. i think it's more important terms, the morale, what it does to the sense of fan is people often when you speak to the front lines, people in the fifty's and sixty's saying that when they do come back to you for
10:22 am
a quick call today, they see all these men in the twenty's with a gym bags out enjoying life. why should i be risking my life every day if they're not doing that bit part of this is about the kind of organization these very difficult to train people to fight. and it is easy to lead people in place and to train new people, but it's certainly something that gets emotions raised. you see that the social media hearing great. and it is a real kind of hope of issue for lots of people. yeah. did you say it's a difficult subject to, of course, in the beginning of the war you had ukrainian men lining up to volunteer? do you in any way? see, this is assign bags. premiums are tiring of the war. thinks that and people outside i think people will tell you that they what they see carried on a wave of adrenalin, the 1st hall funeral. so now they're really noticing the impact of having on their health. and they're having to kind of really make sure what's kind of conserve the energy because they know this can go on for years. i don't see this yet as kind of translating to people being willing to cut some kind of deal with russia and allow russia to kind of hold onto what it has kind of beaten out of ukraine. there's no cool for peace, but certainly people all worried about the results isn't about for support,
10:23 am
but i don't see it kind of being kind of socially acceptable. say you don't want to fight through countries that kind of wish we had there. and the quote is still very much the minority of people who have those opinions are from very careful about expressing them. because this is still a kind of extraordinary kind of consensus in this country. this, this is the thing that the country has to do. this is what it needs to get through . and so now this voice is still pretty isolated. absolutely, well, thank you so much. that is an economy for us in case to return to some other news now begins the long journey of monarch butterfly south to warmer climates, their amazing journey covers of thousands of kilometers and can last more than 2 months. scientists have been looking into how the butterflies can fly for such long distances, and they've come up with some interesting findings. white spots on the wings of monarch butterflies, maybe to see cripps therapy to fly huge distances. every year. the insects travel south from the us to spend the winter in the tree forest with central and southern
10:24 am
mexico. for jenny take some 2 months. it could be up to $4000.00 columbus as low. and the creatures a tiny monarch butterflies weighed less than a paperclip. during the annual journey, they can cover 160 kilometers in a day. but the owner, the bus to fly, suffice a johnny i would say, you know, at least 50 percent don't make it. that's just the educated guess. but it's, it's a fair number because, you know, we, we know that it's a very, very dangerous, risky trip. what makes someone not to fly successful was investigated? what we did was we went and examined some past butterfly specimens. and i have one right here, some specimens of mark butterflies that had been collected by myself and by some
10:25 am
other researchers. and we use computer software to examine their, their features of their wings. $400.00 butterflies, well analyzed, the insects that reached that destination have 3 percent less black and 3 percent more white on the wings. it's built, the ultimate thing, white and black spots could interact with some light in a way that cools and heats the arrow above the wing. so this may cause the ad to rise, reducing drug the insect and then fly more efficiently and foster one of the exciting things about this project is that we're sort of discovering a new phenomenon in terms of butterfly wing colors. right. and in terms of what they're for, like a lot of researchers who have been studying butterflies their entire lives didn't even know that this could even happen like butterflies could actually use their
10:26 am
colors for flight flying infinity is only one of the insects mysteries. i think we don't know a lot. that's one question of why do they end up where they end up is definitely a piece of it. you know what, what drives them to make it to a certain place and not at another place. and i think that's a, that's a big question. this question like keep going beyond that for a while? for now the bunch of flies wing problems have been copied by aerospace engineers who want to make a new generation of drains. it's just amazing. before we go, let's get a reminder of our top story is at this hour the us house of representatives is voted to remove republican speaker, kevin mccarthy, that following a motion by a hard right faction of his own party, mccarthy says he will not seek re election as how speaker and at least 21 people have been killed in a bus crash in italy. the vehicle veered often over the past and fell over 10
