santiago sees the return of the zombie walk after a three year gap due to coronavirus. hello and welcome to bbc news. we begin in iran, where a large fire has been blazing at evin prison in the capital tehran. hundreds of political prisoners and dozens of dual nationals are held in the prison, as well as many protesters arrested during the past four weeks of riots around the country. officials say that eight people have been injured, and that the situation is now under control. but recent videos posted online show the fire still burning, and gunfire and sirens can be heard. in a tweet the us state department says: jared genser is a lawyer representing siamak namazi who is a jailed iranian american, whose family say they haven t heard from him. we haven t had contact with him since word came out about the clashes, gunfire, explosions, etc. we have no idea where he is or how he is doing and we would call on the government of iran to immediately enable him to call his family i
discovered thursday. this comes after biden s personal lawyer flagged a white house lawyer about discovering a classified document at the home on wednesday. as nbc news reports, quote, this brings the total batches of records found to three, a small number in the washington office by the news, another set in the garage of his residence, and finally six pages in a room adjacent to the garage. when it comes to this new batch of documents from the obama administration, the white house says they were intimately handed handed over to the justice department. president biden had this to say about the documents on thursday. as i said earlier this week, people know i take classified documents and classified material seriously. i also said we are cooperating fully and completely with the justice department s review. as part of that process, other places where we viewed, were documents from my time as vice president were stored, and i finished a review last night. well, the white ho
mccarthy. the current republican leader has sent the new proposal to his colleagues to try to overcome significant resistance to his ascension. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is live on capitol hill tonight. hello, chad. the math. there are at least five g.o.p. members who oppose mccarthy for speaker and, perhaps, more. kevin doesn t have the votes. what we ll do, we ll block kevin. there will be 10 to 15 members vote against him on the first ballot tomorrow that will vote for andy biggs. mccarthy can only lose four votes and still prevail. mccarthy is desperately making concessions. do you think the rules package you released last night has moved any votes to yes. yes. and what will you do if you don t have 218 on the first ballot? mccarthy finally agreed to one demand. he would lower the bar to hold a new confidence vote for speaker if members don t think he s doing a good job. but that didn t satisfy mccarthy detractors. there is nothing
for us. what do we know about the documents in this second batch? reporter: we don t know much other than biden s attorneys uncovered a second batch. the first batch was found in early november in an office that his attorneys were clearing out. that included ten classified documents, including information about iran, the uk and ukraine and even included top-secret information. we re told it was that discovery that spurred the searches in additional locations looking for other documents. we don t know where the second batch was found, what it includes. one of the biggest questions, is this it? the white house has been very careful not to say that the first batch or second batch is all they know is out there. that s a really big question to have hanging over the white house. how is the gop responding to this on capitol hill? i m sure they re pouncing. reporter: of course they re pouncing. house oversight wants briefings. you showed the clip of kevin mccarthy asking why it
the list. and power is first. how we got there, i remember when trump was elected and i reached out to lizzie and i said, whatever are we going to do? and she said, don t let the bastards grind you down. there s no answer to this question, i m sorry, that will make sense. but margaret atwood and the story we re telling and the shape of our country and our world are hand in hand. and i don t believe the writers are trying to write about the world, they are following the characters in this story. the fact that they re lining up is terrifying. and it confirms margaret atwood s profound intelligence. it s a very upsetting one thing i think about all the time is the fact that it s so clear in our world, misogyny is at the rep till onbrain stem of all of these nationalist movements. you know, there s no so, there s no sense of making men s participation, in my experience, men seem to participate in pregnancies, but we re just going to punish the women. and it s something abou
