of the the, this is dw dues live from berlin. the united states government is plunged into political payoffs as the house of representatives votes to remove republican leader, kevin mccarthy. it comes after a small group of hard, right, members of his own party, rebelled against him. also coming up a holiday in italy, turned into a nightmare. at least 21 people have been killed after a tourist fast plunging off of an over past your venice. and the winters of the
12:01 pm
nobel prize for chemistry are announced in sweden. they are being honored for their discovery and synthesis of font and stop the . i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. the us house of representatives has voted to remove a public and speaker kevin mccarthy. it is the 1st time in history that the speaker has been voted out of the position. and it comes after a showdown between mccarthy and a small group of hard right conservatives from within his own party. mccarthy described to the hosting as quote personal. and he said that he will not stand for re election just days after narrowly avoiding a government shut down. a rebellion amid the republican ranks has trust congress into chaos. the 8 hard line republicans joined with democrats and voting out
12:02 pm
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. lead charge to 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 walk. he has risen to power by collecting special interests, money, and redistributing that money and exchange for favors. we are breaking the fever now and we should elect the speaker who's better during the vote, a separate look mccarthy's supporters warned that a vote against him was irresponsible. the house. kevin mccarthy think long and hard
12:03 pm
before you plunges into chaos, because that's where we're headed. if we vacate the speakership 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 re election. congress is at a standstill until a successor is elected. another government shut down deadline is moving next month . that's bringing lives ciocca. she is a u. s. policy analyst, and she's dining us from dallas, texas. so let's, what does this chaos within the republican party mean for the us congress? is it basically on wholesale, are technically now and everything that we're seeing is,
12:04 pm
as you've already mentioned this as a story, this never happened. so there's not a 100 percent clarity on what they can and can't do. the general consensus is that the temporary speaker is not able to do everything that a fully elective speaker of the house would be there. it's in their incentive depaul in a other election for a new speaker quickly that they are under no deadlines. so it seems as though they can continue moving forward. but in general, this is incredible instability. so that's gonna play in their ability to play on their ability to move forward. what sort of timelines can we be looking at here? and what is likely to happen next? because, i mean, congress has a lot to do. it's heading into a busy fall that will need to fund the governments again or risk a mid november shut down academy. we could be exactly in the same position quite shortly. yeah, absolutely. and part of the i us tense believe part of the reason that congressman gates voted against it to as mccarthy is,
12:05 pm
is the budget resolution. so if you know we, we pass the continuing resolution. but if the budget comes up again, if we have solved none of those issues that stalled the government the last time and nearly had to shut down just as last weekend. so i think business and now in for the republicans to really come together, i guarantee you there's going to be wheeling and dealing. and that's not only within the republicans, but across the aisle because they need a handful of votes to pass something in the past. the new speaker, a big issue right now is everyone's waiting around and saying to, so there is the protest and now up on signaling he might be on the he might be coming up the rice, but it doesn't seem that there's a consensus yet. and this is about much more than the united states because, you know, this is just one reason the us is of course, the biggest military supporter of ukraine. and it's fight against the russians. invasion of the republican hardliners they've been, they've been pushing back against new funding. these are these hard liners that have now blocked kevin mccarthy. what is that likely now to mean for future
12:06 pm
ukrainian aid? for example, as president biden said, after the continuing resolution was passed just as last weekend without any new, a free cray. but he had a bunch of other things lined up. he had other plans, other strategies to make sure that, that a concert was. so he's signaling confidence that americans going to continue providing aid to ukraine for this war, but it will not be as straightforward as what we were helping, which was through the um, through the budget. so i, i imagine it will continue being the sticking point that will loomed towards us as we go towards the deadline on november 15th, but also the, the administration is signaling their confidence live. um, you know, how concerned should the world be looking at this situation? because i mean, kevin mccarthy, he had made the claim we heard it there in that piece that there was a real institutional problem in congress. others would say, you know,
12:07 pm
the democrats, the republicans, they just simply didn't trust him anymore. and it was more of a personal issue to what extent do both of those arguments ring true? i mean, both of those arguments have have seats of truth because there's so many layers to this issue. when he became a speaker, we were members 15 rounds of votes that does not say no confidence in that he negotiated a deal for both. where you could ask him with one person calling about to ask the speaker. so he negotiated the deal. he made the bad that the he has now found himself in, but this is also not a new problem. if you remember bait or all the way back in the obama years, he left congress and resigned because the freedom caucus was saying, we're going to ask you that was his own party. and then paul ryan took over for him and presided over the largest shut down in american history. so this has been in entered from royal inside of the republicans that has been absolutely brewing. so
12:08 pm
he is, he's correct. it is institutional and it's been there from i'm, but he's seen is that swan creature he said, is that person that's fine and goes with everybody who can break of the deal. so both sides ended up not trusting him. let's sort shaka us policy analyst. thank you . thank you all. here's some of the stories making headlines. in iran, a 16 year old girl is in a coma after being assaulted by the morality police, according to curtis rights group pen ga. the group says that our meta garra event was attacked in a to run some way for violating the islamic republics, his job rules. the media released this edited video. ronnie authorities deny the claims a similar incidents last year sparked mass protest in wrong. you have to triple mother, she's a former russian state tv journalist who protested against the ukraine war live on air has been sentenced to over 8 years in prison in
12:09 pm
a potential marina of young me cova 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. ukraine says that the number of ships passing through a new black sea shipping for doors increasing. nearly 2000 framed vessels are waiting to enter and depart you premium ports. steve has been scrambling to find ways to export rate and other goods after a key deal with moscow collapsed in july. you're watching data, you knew still to come on the program. we lift the lid on some of the drastic steps being taken by ukrainian men to avoid being conscripted into the army to fight the war. but 1st, a bus carrying tours. it has crashed near venice, italy killing at least 21 people. the bus plunged off of a fly over bridge. some of the survivors are seriously injured. a
12:10 pm
holiday in venice turned into a twisted mess of metal inside the cause of the accident is that i'm clear about in a heart of fighting. so you can see the events, the bus via dolphin eva passed on to electricity lines, and best into flight ins. firefighters reported some of the fast victims that found, had perished in the inside and of the 40 people aboard the bus. more than half lost their lives. most of the rest were taken to hospital in critical condition. allowed the loose gigabyte at least the bucks went off the road from a height of more than 10 meters made 3 or not. it's a battery powered electric bustle, so it caught fire sewing or thrown around. they found all the people inside the bus . somebody engulfed in flames about the scene that the fireman mess. yeah. was really difficult. yeah. broke last night, really bad evidence of mine. so i'm in the middle of the feature that i've been
12:11 pm
a little stuck. i pulled the bus for most of the tourists from ukraine. can many sounds inclination to be on the map of venice described the scene as apocalyptic, and declared an official period of morning. or 19 day to 2 died in the hospital, so as 21. now some of them are ok. then there are some critical popular one of the some buttons for children die for 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 underway. well elsewhere since the beginning of russia's 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. some ukrainians are refusing
12:12 pm
to fight and looking for ways to leave the country. they w as next and are filed this report from ukraine's southern border with romania. romania is just across the border from here, but most to create new men cannot cross over. at least not legally. marshal 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 more than 15000 have been detained in ukraine. well, trying to illegally cross the crating soldiers. this billboard, in 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 the 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
12:13 pm
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 search the draft or 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, 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 at 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 with 1st off we see that we have 0 tolerance is for cases of corruption or other line nation and seem for little see for there's a human fact the reasoning we try to respond to any problems of what the novelty
12:14 pm
a key for women as what some ukrainian 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 so, so i think having our own country is much more valuable than being a refugee somewhere to not set up the price they are asked to pay for. it is a bit to a desk on this higher than the value of having a country in the house. 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 1st with the, with the possible filter details this he will leave if necessary. i want to know how he feels about tele ukrainians who can't such as those living under russian occupation lock. so the core. yeah, but i can go to war only for one reason. these guys are only for my friends and
12:15 pm
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. yeah. then you put in for okay, and i don't exist for them. but this, it's a very strange idea to fight for people. i've never even met back at the border loading the seal. haven't found any traces of illegal crossings yet. in august alone, the authorities prevented 247 crossings along the border. and lastly, everyone has their own opinion. as i felt myself, i know how it was there was a nicole. 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. he cannot judge them. he tells us that the like the hundreds of thousands of ukrainians who are fighting the russians. they to have a duty and are committed to fulfill it to let's get the view from ukraine
12:16 pm
now and bringing lisa yesco. she is a member of the ukrainian parliament and the foreign affairs committee. thank you so much for your time. why does ukraine need a draft? is it running out of soldiers? well, we'd have to, and in fact, no, i'm not being your grand avenue worse and security for him where we actually discuss in different security issues and that challenges for ukraine a on your own. um your question, this is very important for us because i do will enter the day of the 600 space of the lord and manual with soldiers. many men and women as they're the front line without rotation, many of them are killed. many of them my injury, many of them all without legs and tens. and um, unfortunately we see that the war is not over yet. there is um,
12:17 pm
no weeks to read tomorrow that it will take much longer time. and we're like very light a lot on the assistance that is given to us from different countries and for reparation for all over the 3. of course we need to have rotation. we need to have a well educated, well trained people who are ready to 5 in the score and but to allow was for now no, not able to, to fight. so then they have some rest of this moment. but the question is also when one of willingness to fight and presumably if you, you have conscription, that means that you do have man who do not wish to fight one of the men in our report. whoever support a spoke with, he said, and i'm quoting here, i would rather die. i would rather be a refugee than to die, because there is no guarantee that my country will exist after my death. when you
12:18 pm
hear things like that, do you understand him? it's definitely, i'm sorry, i'm done him and i can tell you that's the fact that he says it's if there is a guarantee that if i die, my country will exist. so that's also very important. part of what it says. this is what do we hear very awesome from people uh for an hour, the front line that they gave the light or the freedom grade they want to reconsider. and this is the reason why any kind of thrones and war is not possible. we have to have the victory so that there is no aggression coming from the russia game because these people are getting the lives for, for, for our land. you know, they pay the huge wise, they're paying a good price. and we can say no to them. because it's, it's very theater. tragic history. we're going through now,
12:19 pm
but we have to do it for our children. because then a were to, if we don't do it, then our children will not believe in freedom. or as, as he said, maybe the country will not exist because russia will, well, we'll take everything and we'll start the war in poland and the other country. this is very possible if we don't get to victory and justice on ukraine on 3rd grade. i'd like to ask you about another point that we saw in our piece there. our reporter found that men are bribing or some that are bribing officials and are using groups on telegram to acquire fake medical exemptions. first of all, are you aware of this matter and what might a wait people who are caught doing this? are you green? is society is incredibly sensitive to injustice. and it sounds like we are aware, we know so many cases if they happen that it's just and we
12:20 pm
have 0 pulling around to any kind of corruption. so these cases a very well know if they happen and there are certain investigation that uh well we and we both for a lot of flows and the president polanski the lot. 1 of things personally from his side to make sure that the rees 0 corruption. 5 told around so how far is she's willing to go here? would you say? because, i mean, it seems that that at this point in the war force is the only way to replenish the ukrainian army. what do you mean by, by getting, for example, a donor being for you on think about the corruption corruption, the enforcement against draft dodgers. for example, how far as cube willing to go we are going to go to the
12:21 pm
and there should be no corruption. and we have a lot of people who, which, who really want to fight. we don't have a problem with those school. or, you know, these cases that you said there are individual cases. unfortunately they have them . and unfortunately this is the worst. so there are always cases of those people who don't want to fight. maybe there could be good solutions for them to search for ukraine. but maybe an in the unit where they will feel that they can contribute much more than just taking a gun and, and shooting. and we're working on that. we have lots of, well, you know, we voted for the law some time ago when the, everyone who's actually joined the territorial unit of defense of defense. and there are a lot of different things that people can do. it can do their starting from might
12:22 pm
in a recall on some, some a and the lead to the words. and ending, of course, was doing incredibly picking a logical things was drones way of the at and it's, and the real $3.00 oh $5.00. and so we have, of course, the problem with distribution of this word and sees. we are text messaged me every day. of course, things don't go perfect. but i truly believe that we don't have a problem with the number of people that wants to fight. but we do have a problem with individual cases of corruption, and we do have a problem with the mastic propaganda coming from russia. that's say that, you know, you bring those in a one to 5 because it will affect you pregnant societies, psychologically. but ukraine society of course, is tires, but still very much united and the absolute majority. uh, i don't know. i don't know anyone who would say that uh, let's do any,
12:23 pm
any kind of dialogue because we know that there is no doubt like what the russian possible. i'm because there is a real aggression against our nation. they want to appeal all of us, or how can we talk to them? it's not possible. so unfortunately, we have to fight till the unfortunately we, we have to leave it there. but lisa gas go member of the current in parliament. we really appreciate your time and we thank you so much for joining us here on dw news to share that few. in that perspective we appreciated the winter of the 2023 nobel chemistry prize has just been announced in suite in the us based scientist, monkey. but when the we boost and alexi i came of one the prestigious award for their work on tiny quantum dots. it will be awarded $1000000.00 for their achievements. swedish media outlets reported that the names of the winters were
12:24 pm
leaked several hours before the official announcement. nobel leaks there, rare, given the great length undertaken to keep the winter's names under wraps. so let's get more on that. i am joined by dw science or for the therapy williams. he is with me here in the studio. so i mean, there's been something was scandal already. and you know, we've just discovered that you know who, who the winners are. so tell us a little bit more of the, the leaks and word apparent mistake made by the nobel committee. yeah, it was apparently on an e mail that went wrong. that went or by it's, it is, it is really unheard of. i've been reporting on these nobel prizes and the science has for, for decades now and, and i've never heard anything in advance. it's always the big surprise. and this, this year, the big surprise was not really quite a big surprise. we all got a couple of hours of advanced warning for this 1st, at least as far as the chemistry prize is concerned. okay, so then tell us a little bit more about the actual work. yeah. with the winners. so that's actually
12:25 pm
the most important. that's the most important and interesting thing. now they the, the, the committee, david for the discovery and the synthesis of quantum dobbs and said that the researchers planted and then what it is that they're important seed for nano technology. now it's not quantum dogs are or are sometimes referred to as artificial ad on there, there these miniature tiny in the natural range, some you conductors that are a couple of items across and a now that sounds all very technical. so this is actually a price. it's, it's between chemistry and physics because there's engineering involved in creating these things that come on succeeded in creating the 1st ones and then colored glass back in the eighty's and bruce and prove the quantum effect as particles floating in, in, in the liquid. and the, when the revolutionize the chemical production so, so these are actually where they really revolutionize the world is in terms of optics, particularly in, in, in terms of things like screens or screens that we use nowadays are much sharper
12:26 pm
and much more clear because of because of, of these quantum dobbs but also l a. d 's, you can change the quality of the light that comes for example, from, from an alley decrease from a harsh fi tubal on lights. but they're also improving solar cells, important encryption, future, quantum computers, a long, a wide range of things that they've had where they've had an impact. okay, so it sounds complicated, but actually it impacts a lot of us. um, so thanks so much for putting that into that perspective. derek williams, dw science you're up to date on data view news, thanks for watching. the
