that s all the sport for now. i ll be back in an hour. great, laura, thanks very much. what weather is continuing to cause disruption in some parts of the uk. in the west of england heavy rain flooded the roads and rail this morning. here is steve nibs. the constant rain has made travel really difficult of the last 2a hours, and despite that some were prepared to risk driving through flood water, like here in lacock. in this area drivers didn t make it, trapped by the depth of the water. fire crews were called in to rescue one person at 5am this morning and two others during rush hour. later a team from bedminster fire station rescued a driver who also became stranded here at long ashton. but it is notjust the roads. all trains between swindon and bristol parkway severely disrupted at the moment due to flooding. bbc wiltshire s political reporter, dan o brien, was on a train to trowbridge that was turned
in the united arib emirates in march, but cricket australia have said they took the decision after, consultation with relevant stakeholders, including the australian government. the taliban returned to power in afghanistan in august 2021 and since have banned girls from attending secondary school and university. i think that people should be able to play sport, so if you have got part of your country without that basic human right, i think you have got a problem. basic human right, i think you have gota problem. i basic human right, i think you have got a problem. i know the icc is in a difficult position about how they might manage that amongst members, etc, but if sport is not going to stand up and say, you know, you need to be equitable, you need to be providing opportunities for both genders, then who is going to do it? so i think it is a reasonable move and it will be interesting to see what impact it has.
call at least, mccarthy will not most likely get the speaker s gavel. garrett haake, let s catch up on a couple of people who have moved into what would be the speaker s office. roy donalds and scott perry do we know anything about what s up? reporter: not the speaker s office. the minute this vote got underway, several of the members of the anti-mccarthy sanction high tailed it off the floor. they are not talking. they have all ended up in another office that s being used for some of the negotiations. downstairs, about 100 yards from where i m standing right now. some of the mccarthy allies like french hill, other republican members who have been trying to midwife these negotiations between mccarthy and his opponents. it s noteworthy for the first time in as many days action we
have been covering this, none are talking. they are tight lipped. no comments. we re going to keep talking. this is a situation in which the absence of new information suggests to me a certain amount of activity here. we knew going into this vote, kevin mccarthy told me on the way to the floor, told reporters, no expectation the vote totals will change. the fact people are having closed-door meetings and clamming up in public is typically a signal something is actually noteworthy afoot. we have more work to do to figure out what. i know you are all over this. thank you, so much, garrett haake. steve kornacki, let s catch up with the count. this is the seventh. something is beginning to shift. certainly with the agenda vote yesterday. a small victory. the first victory. they won 216-214 last night, a signal that maybe there was give
into the fall that they were going to talk mostly about in a lot of places about abortion. i don t think that s wrong to have done that, but the economic message, you ve seen joe biden talking about economics. bernie sanders came out the other day and said reproductive rights are really important but if we don t have an economic message we re going to get crushed because with the inflation numbers rising we re vulnerable. either of you on the trail listening to candidates hear any democratic candidates talking about schools, getting kids in schools, no more lockdowns, let s catch up. our kids have been screwed out of two, three years of education, do you hear them talk about that. not as articulately as you did. they do talk about the economy. there are ads that talk about the economy, and how republicans want to sunset social security. they do things on the economy
