ah, american house walk into the program. the u. s. house of representatives is making another attempt to break a historic deadlock in congress. a 4th round of voting is underway after right wing republicans blocked the front runner from their own party. kevin mccarthy, in 3 earlier votes were look at lot pitches now. he appears to be heading for another fate. it's the 1st time that's happened in a century president joe biden has described all of this chaos as embarrassing. so now the european union is edging towards tightening the rules on travelers arriving from china. most member states, now 5 are introducing testing. there's been a surgeon cases in china since badging abandoned. it's 0 covet policy. the france in italy, we're the 1st a year. countries to require negative tests from people arriving from china, a spine for its power requires proof of full vaccination or, and negative taste, while germany still has no restrictions in place. broadening out beyond the a, you know, britain, the u. s. india, australia, and japan are among

haven't had any outreach with respect to the chaos that you saw unfold in front of the american people today. house democrats remain committed to everyday americans. we were sent to washington to get to work on behalf of the american people. we are prepared to do that job on behalf of the american people but we do not have partners in the republican congress. >> if you were looking for a willing partner, and they approached you with a candidate who may bore -- who may be more moderate, would members of your congress be open to voting for a republican? >> we will look for a willing partner for the american people not save republicans from their dysfunction. we need a partner and governance to build upon incredible progress that we've made for the american people over the last two years. by the way, with a similar majority. under the great leadership of speaker pelosi, democrats united, progressives and lewd dogs, ever cuts united. the american rescue plan save the economy from a deep recession. it put shots and armed -- shots in arms, and put kids can schools. it provided funds to fix our roads, tun

and people are running here to russia about why he ran away, why he traded a good american house in the town of omaha in the state of illinois for a russian abandoned village in the yaroslavl region about this in our american method, many people ask me if russia is a paradise and such a wonderful place on earth? i say not at all. it has its own problems, its difficulties, like in any other country in the world. i tell people don't come to russia if you think everything will be perfect here and you won't have any problems, but come to russia because it's a normal country. it 's not heaven on earth it's just a normal country america canada western european countries they've lost their minds promoting transgender people. reading books about them to children, organizing parades with naked participants on the streets in front of families with small children. they want to not only promote marriages between two women between two men. they want to force the whole world to do the same in russia, there is no such madness, the government is not trying to get into your private life and tell you tha

in order to get the business of the american people done. house democrats are ready, willing, and able to get to work on behalf of the american people. but we need a willing partner on the other side of the aisle. it's my hope that today the house republicans will stop the bickering, stop the backbiting and stop the back stabbing of each other so we can have the back of the american people. that's what we were elected to do. that is what congress should be doing. in the face of a global pandemic that continues to be with us, in the face of infligsary pressure -- inflationary pressure all across the land and throughout the world. and in the face of a dangerous conflict in europe, the biggest conflict since world war ii. these are serious issues that require the attention of the united states house of representatives. it's time for the republicans to get their act together. and we as democrats are ready, willing, and able to partner with them, to find common ground whenever and wherever possible. not as democrats, not as republicans. as americans. i

house restoration. she said about making a home for her husband and family and for the american people. she wanted the white house to reflect america's history and art and be a place where families could learn about our country and its leaders. she shared my father's belief that american civilization had come of age and wanted the white house to be a stage where america and the world could see the very best of american arts and culture. both my parents believe that living in the white house was the greatest privilege of their lives and worked hard to be worthy of the honor. my mother established the white house library in white house historical association installed the curator and transformed it into one of the great collections of american decorative arts and painting. and when she was satisfied with the results, she welcomed the public on a guided tour for which she received an emmy. but the guidebook was her biggest challenge. it's hard to believe there was nothing for families to take home as a souvenir of their visit. she wanted something educational and dignified whose proceeds co

in the american house of representatives of the us congress, confusion and vacillation continue for 11to elect a speaker have not brought results, part of the republicans stubbornly refuses to vote for their own party member, that they allow kevin mccarthy to gain the required number of votes. why it is not possible to convince the anti-party group about this aleksey veselovsky for the last 164 years, this has not happened in american politics, so that the house of representatives for three days, after passing 11 votes, could not choose a speaker for itself, the situation is ridiculously ridiculous. the republicans have a majority in the lower chamber 222 votes, the speaker needs 218 votes to win. but even they still cannot be recruited against the main congressman candidate. kevin mccarthy speaks for about twenty ultra-right republicans who refuse to see on the map at the head of the house it is precisely these votes that he so lacks and he can’t do anything. all attempts to persuade the rebels to promise can’t do anything; i have heard from colleagues that we have a lot of important

house? no, it's a sign that american democracy is under strain. but it's been unrestrained for years, not just because of the hard, right? republicans in the house. but of course, because of the trump, this continue to back donald trump, denial of the 2020 election to continue to try to bury any accountability over the capital attack, which occurred almost exactly 2 years ago. 18 of the 20 republicans who objected to kevin mccarthy as how speaker last night also happened to be election deniers. so this is a sign that there is a faction within the united states, which has, is committed not just stopping the democrats were stopping aloft, is almost committed to stopping the system from working. and that will be a challenge, of course, for the, by the administration to continue to govern, which it will do. but i think more importantly, and immediately it's a challenge for the republican party because the republican party really want to hold it so hostage to the hard white wing when they appear not to be willing to compromise for the greater good of th
