house, and that is my position. katya, how can the exclusion of republican santos still affect the majority of the republican party in the house of representatives? as you know, our viewers actually know that right now the republicans in the house of representatives have a very narrow advantage and a very small majority and they need virtually every vote to pass any procedural vote on any issue and if they lose santos, they lose one of these important voices. with the release of santos , additional elections are expected as early as next february, and according to the american media, it will be a fierce struggle between democrats and republicans, because it will effectively launch the fight for who will be the majority in the house of representatives in 2024. briefly about what steps will be taken after the release of santos, and the speaker of the house of representatives also stated and told, after the actual vote, i suggest listening to part of his speech right now. 311 for, 114 against, two voted as present, yeas, therefore the resolution is carried, the clerk is now to report to the governor of the state of new york the decision of the hous

including. main problems are the split between the democratic senate and republican house of representativeser a democratic white house. this has happened before, but this year, according to experts, the situation is worsening. that in congress there are people who do not know how to negotiate at all, and cnn warns that in january, when congress resumes work, the situation will become even more difficult, including the agreement on financing of ukraine, as well as the security of american borders, among the controversial issues. freedom of speech in latvian, in this baltic country they began to open letters and parcels sent to russia and belarus. local media were outraged, emphasizing that article 96 of the constitution guarantees. private correspondence, inspection is limited even in prisons, not to mention letters from people at large. in response , representatives of the latvian post office stated that they were acting due to sanctions imposed by the european union. they allegedly search for money, bank cards, and sim card chips in the mail. earlier, german human rights activists criticiz

of film props is about to take place. will begin in the us where the republican led house of representatives has voted to launch a vote ——oe biden. the resident joe biden. the resolution _ resident joe biden. the resolution is _ resident joe biden. the resolution is adopted. i republican lawmakers are accusing the president of bribery and corruption — president he knew of, and benefited from, the business dealings of his son, hunter biden.

, in particular, both on the republican and democratic democratic sides, the problem is only such a small number of republicans. particularly in the house of representatives who are just blocking this process, there are no more than 10 people who are strongly, some of them are strongly against the support, and they have actually blocked this process, linking it to border security, after it has been blocked in the house of representatives, the senate began to talk about it a lot, and today, as we know, the leadership in the senate also began to talk about what is so national. security in the heartland of the united states is more important than anything, and even the greatest friends of ukraine, we believe, senators , such as lincius graham, he clearly said, we will not help ukraine until we solve the border issue, that is in fact, a group of people is blocking this process. and this issue of borders, an internal issue, which, you see, slows down this process, is it - what is fundamental, is it urgent for resolution, or can it be prolonged? of course you know that the question of the borders of the southern border in the united states, well it's been going

all happening in coordination with the white house, so it 's right, and why is it necessary, there is the leader of the republican house of representatives, mike johnson, he always comes up with arguments, he's actually playing a very complicated game, he wants to exchange at all , or exchange aid to ukraine for major concessions, joseph biden and his political, in fact, for blows to his political image, that is, he is playing, behind him is donald trump, i am sure of this, that is, he has his own line, but he is not can to do this, for example, when he now responded to the letter, the white house, that not only the problem is that there is funding, but show us what this money will go to, and show us the plan, where this money goes, for what types of weapons, how they will help to win , it seems a beautiful formula, yes, but in these conditions, when the days are already standing, it drags out the process, it plays on his interests, where he wants to drag it out until january, so the presence of the minister of defense directly in conversation with him will already remove the possibility to manipulate this issue, because exactly the mini

the republican—led us house of representatives has voted in favour of launching a formal impeachment , joe biden. republican lawmakers accuse the president of bribery and corruption — alleging when he was vice president he benefited from the business dealings of his son, hunter biden. the president has described the inquiry as a baseless political stunt, and said the republicans were focused on attacking him with lies. live now to cbs news correspondentjarred hill in new york. we have seen over the past couple of months already that these republican committees in the us house of representatives have been investigating president biden and his family in relation to these business dealings. this formal inquiry allows them to have more teeth to the investigation and give them more power to subpoena witne55e5 them more power to subpoena witnesses and documents and they say the white house a stonewall their investigation. this is mostly a procedural step. flan investigation. this is mostly a procedural step.— investigation. this is mostly a procedural step. can we ask about donald trump. —

on the republican side and certainly outside of the house of representatives by influencers of the extreme right-wing, like the former president and tucker carlson. >> one thing that senate republicans continue pushing is the negotiation of border security and standards when it comes to seeking asylum. >> i have not seen the specifics relative to that particular provision. any changes that are made to our immigration system that are inconsistent with the principals of america as a nation of immigrants could raise serious concerns. >> the question is george santos is expelled that make there be a special election. can you give the outlook for democrats ability to take that and are you planning to endorse in the primary candidates who are running? >> will take it one step at a time and see what happens tomorrow in the context of the explosion resolution. the process will be in the hands of both the nassau county democratic party and the queens county democratic party at which point it will be my expectation that they will be some conversations between those two

remember, the house speaker made very clear last week when he met with republican senators that he needed robust border policy changes in order to move forward in the house of representatives with additional aid for ukraine. and poppy, the sticking points really are the fact that democrats are arguing that republicans are pushing for policy that too closely resembles the house passed immigration bill earlier this year, arguing that this policy isn't really a negotiation at this point. they're saying that republicans just want to have it their way. there was supposed to be talks over the weekend but the last time this group had a conversation in full was on friday night. after that, it became clear, according to democratic sources that republicans were just pushing too hard for pieces of hr2, and my sources said that you can never say never in the senate, oftentimes with these tense negotiations, things will break down before talks get better again. but for now, things are really at an impasse, and the reason this is so important is you saw that letter earlier from omb arguing that there's no secret pot of money. there's nothing left for ukraine, and that's why it's so crit

the democratic majority leader in the senate even suggested that the republican speaker of the house of representativesthe christmas break for lawmakers until the financial package for ukraine is passed. no answer yet. as expected, such a proposal did not cause optimism. them by this time in ukraine, for the second day, there was a collapse of cellular communications and the internet; such a powerful failure has never happened in the history of independence square; the network of the mobile operator kyivstar, covering 24 million subscribers, collapsed; all of them lost communications and access to the internet. in addition, the services of large banks and payment services stopped working. terminals in stores, serious failures at critical infrastructure facilities, also brought down the websites of ministries and departments, kyivstar said it was all a hacker attack, but it experts remind that such large providers of a hacking protection system always have reserve capacity, so the matter is most likely a simple redistribution of property; kyivstar’s assets have long been eyed by officials of the zelensk

among the main problems is the split between the democratic senate and the republican house of representativesc white house. this has already happened, however, but this year, according to experts, the situation is aggravated by the fact that in congress there are people who... do not know how to negotiate at all, and cnn warns that in january, when the work of congress resumes, the situation will become even worse more difficult. in addition, before the presidential elections in the united states , the political field continues to be cleared. following colorado maine banned donald trump from being on the republican primary ballot. the secretary of state refers to the constitutional amendment according to which. and officials who participated in the mutiny are prohibited from holding positions of responsibility. the response of ordinary us citizens to the dishonest political game of the white house was not long in coming; the republican initiative to conduct an impeachment inquiry into biden is supported by almost half of americans, writes the daily mail. as the publication's survey showed agr

we have mike johnson, who is the speaker of the house of representatives where republicans have a majority of what he has said by also dismissing this letter, the white house and, and suggesting that we're running out of time. and we need to get this supplemental approved as soon as possible. he dismisses saying that any efforts by the binding ministration when it comes to national security should start with the border. so for them, it's important to stress that to abide and set and this remarks a only recently that the border system indeed and i quote, is it, it's broken and broken board assessed and the more needs to be done. but he also said that it's something that we actually made it to this phone where we have this differences in the house of representatives with republican saying that if we want to approve the supplemental with aid, not only for ukraine, but also for israel, for taiwan, for the in the pacific, the us needs it to focus on the border issues now. so that's why they use us president as stress. so this will be a gift. that's also what it junk. kirby, the spokes person of

leaders of both democrats and republicans in the senate solemnly brought zelensky to this meeting. after that , zelensky went to a meeting with the speaker of the house of representatives, republican mike johnson. he noted that zelensky was invited to this meeting by the leader of the democrats in the house of representatives, hakim jeffreys. it is interesting and worth noting that at the time when zelensky was leading negotiations with legislators in congress. a rally, a protest in support of ukraine took place on the street opposite the congress itself. activists, ukrainian and american representatives of various organizations, marched in front of congress, precisely at the time zelensky was there, to call on lawmakers to overcome all differences and finally agree on aid to ukraine. i suggest listening to their motivation right now. it's very, very important that congress know that the american people are like and ... very much want congress to compromise on aid of ukraine and provided them with the weapons they so desperately need. the fact that we can't commit more aid right now, the fact that it hasn't moved forward in the senate, is a huge concern for the ongoing

the democratic majority leader in the senate even suggested that the republican speaker of the house of representativese the christmas break for lawmakers until the financial package for ukraine is passed. no answer yet. such a proposal, as expected, did not cause optimism and... sympathy for ukraine and zelensky, it is also unlikely to add. mikhail akinchenko, vyacheslav arkhipov, natalya moshtakova, natalya labanova, channel one washington. in ukraine, meanwhile, the collapse of internet communications, a major failure at the mobile operator kyivstar, one of the largest in the country. millions of subscribers in different regions were left without internet connections. failures in the operation of banking services and critical infrastructure facilities. also , the websites of ministries and departments crashed. is this related to the failure of the provider? it's not clear yet. kyivstar hastened to blame hackers for the failure, but there are doubts about this version. typically, the resources of tech giants are maximally protected. in addition, quick recovery mechanisms are provided. experts think i

that the house of representatives will go on vacation, although, you know, ... different things are possible, if only, if the senate votes for this the bill today or tomorrow, then the republicansse of representatives will look very bad in the eyes of certain voters, that they deliberately do not want, do not want to vote and are so demonstratively going on vacation, let's see if it will be, please tell me, is this it does it mean postponement for some time and then it will be the same? it's voted after all the holidays there, does that mean it's deadlocked to the point that it's deadlocked for good, if the senate votes, does the senate have to consider this bill, if it votes and it passes in the senate, then i think johnson won't have choice, he will have to put it to a vote in the house of representatives, and because, well , otherwise it would be... otherwise, he would look bad in the eyes of, say, independent voters, non- party voters, as well as his colleagues, but it is necessary for the senate to vote, i don't see it yet. as we speak , i don't see republicans in the senate agreeing to unblock this bill. mr. igor, we have one minute, but tell me, please, how serious are a

actually with the leaders in the house of representatives, this is mike johnson, as well as hakeem jeffries, and this is exactly what it looks like from the republicaneader in the house of representatives, speaker johnson, and the whole idea of , that tying ukrainian aid, voting for ukrainian aid, to directly strengthening the security of the american border, this is extremely important. week now on the capital hill, because in a few days the congressmen will go on christmas vacation or the christmas holidays, and there is very little time left, as we heard from the leader of the democrats in the senate, chach schumer, after the meeting with the president of ukraine volodymyr zensky, he said that the meeting was extremely powerful, president zelensky very clearly described why it is necessary urgently help ukraine, how with this support... the country can win, but chuck schumer said that there is really very little time left. mitch mccone, the leader of the republicans, after meeting again with the ukrainian president, said, that in fact, he understands how important the security of the ukrainian border, the israeli border, and taiwan is, but he bel

therefore, what is now being done in the house of representatives is just such a pre-election game, a pre-election story, with the help of which the republicanshey did to trump, on the other hand, they are playing such pre-election games, bringing out all the dirty laundry the biden family for public viewing in order to further lower the ratings of the current president and do everything possible to ensure that he loses the next election to the republican candidate. democrats have a plan b. if grandpa really recognized as old and sick, who takes his place? well , if we look at the past week, we can remember that there were such informal presidential debates between ron desantes and the governor, whom everyone basically calls a potential contender if joe biden withdraws his candidacy from the presidential election. more and more experts are accusing gevinam of running such a shadow election campaign, he categorically denies this, but if we look at his actions, he met there with sinzenpen, for example, yes, before joe biden, apparently sinzenpen knows more than you and i know, or there, and he takes part in the debate with number two, ron desan
