live from our studio in singapore this is bbc news. it s newsday. it s 7am in singapore, and 6pm in washington where the first day of the new us congress has been full of drama. after the swearing in of new members, the house of representatives is stuck at the very first hurdle for the first time in 100 years the house failed to elect a speaker. the house has now adjourned until wednesday after three rounds of votes. the latest saw the republican kevin mccarthy fall 16 votes short of the 218 majority required. it s important because nothing can go ahead until a new speaker is elected, so this could potentially go on for days until someone is chosen. here is the moment when the latest result was announced. honourable kevin mccarthy of the state of california has received 203. has received 212. honourable kevin mccarthy of the state of california has received 202. no persons have received a majority of the whole number of votes cast by surname, a speaker has not been elec

scott desjardins, because he is not negotiating and they are having an amicable conversation, and he is not negotiating, and so maybe he has to change the posture, but jim jordan is about to speak, and the expectation is to signal the supporters to support kevin mccarthy, and he is a close ally of mccarthy, and they have developed a close tie over the years, and this is a key source of the alliance between jordan and mccarthy. will jordan say, come vote and tell his six supporters to vote for mccarthy potentially, yes. will that change the math, no. this is still some paperwork is being done, and once that vote is being officially closed, and they will move on to the second vote, and the clerk of the house is about to make an announcement, and we will have the second vote to take place, and the conservatives is going to announce a potentially second nominee, and we will see if that is going to play out, but kevin mccarthy is certainly to fall short, and not expecting to step
