The evidence numbers being put out boss. From what we understand those people injured in that bus crash are still being extracted from the wreckage. Serious situation tonight in venice. We will bring you more on that as and when we get it. Lets return to matters in washington. In order of presedence the speaker of the us house of respresentatives, is the fourth most senior figure in the country, and not since 1910 has a member of the house filed a motion to oust the speaker. But make no mistake, Kevin Mccarthy is hanging by a thread tonight. He cant survive with republican votes alone. There are at least ten now on the hard right who want him out. Ahead of tonights votes democrats had to decide whether they would Rescue Mccarthy but then why would they. But then why would they . This after, all is the man who opened an Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden, without a vote on the house floor. Last week he was blaming democrats for the impending Government Shutdown, when really it was down to the split in his own caucus. In the last hour the democrat Minority Leader hakeenjeffries posted this on social media. In the last hour the house has been voting on a procedural issue, on whether the motion to oust him can advance. A vote he lost. Look, i want to win the votes so we can finish the job for the American People. There are some people that have done this from the day weve come in. I want to be conservative that shows how to govern. I think thats important to the country, the party and most important, to get this job done. You cant govern if you cant control your own caucus. Its far from clear that gaetz has the votes to depose mccarthy in this motion to vacate, but then he has warned the speaker he will file this motion as many times as is needed. Next week, one of two things will happen, Kevin Mccarthy will be next week, one of two things will happen, Kevin Mccarthy wont be the speaker of the house or hell be the speaker of the house working at the pleasure of The Democrats. Im at peace with either result because the American People deserve to know who governs them. Live now to our state Department Correspondent Barbara Plett usher. I guess the divisions within the Republican Party slightly summed up by the fact that matt gaetz was forced to speak from the democratic side of the house because Kevin Mccarthy supporters were blocking the microphone. That is about the limit of it at the moment. And he didnt aet limit of it at the moment. And he didnt get any limit of it at the moment. And he didnt get any democrats limit of it at the moment. And he didnt get any democrats to limit of it at the moment. And he | didnt get any democrats to come limit of it at the moment. And he. Didnt get any democrats to come up and speak on his behalf even though all The Democrats voted along with his motion to continue with this process of removing the speaker of the house. In fact, its interesting, there were 11 republicans who voted against mr mccarthy, against the first boat which was whether to table or shelve this whole process. 0nly which was whether to table or shelve this whole process. Only three spoke. Its one to cast a vote another to stand up in the house and take on your speakers so clearly and openly. It was basically matt gaetz who did most of the speaking responding to the other side, which was also republican. You saw there were people had run out of patience, perhaps they had long ago but started to express it. Occasionally there were groans in even guffaws from some of the republicans went matt gaetz was speaking. Its a very angry statements in support of mr mccarthy put up on speaker said this is all about drama, suggesting that matt gaetz was grandstanding. And when one of mr mark caties ally said he was proud of mr mccarthy for moving to avoid a Government Shutdown he got a Standing Ovation from quite a few republicans. Its quite clear where loyalties lie. There are such narrow numbers, the majority is so narrow it can take just a few republicans to take down mr mccarthy. They have started voting now on exactly that. On whether to remove him from the post of speaker. It is in alphabetical roll call so everybody has to put their name publicly on the line. Dont go anywhere. We will come to you for the result of that. We will come to you for the result of that. Live now to political reporter for the Washington Post leigh ann caldwell. The psychodrama continues tonight. What is this doing to the Republican Caucus . � ,. What is this doing to the Republican Caucus . , � ,. ,. , what is this doing to the Republican Caucus . � ,. What is this doing to the Republican Caucus . H. ,. Caucus . Thats a great way to frame that question caucus . Thats a great way to frame that question. The caucus . Thats a great way to frame that question. The republican that question. The republican conference has been divided throughout this entire year, ever since it went through 15 rounds to elect Kevin Mccarthy as speaker of the house. To sum up the issues here, you have a far right faction of the party, around five, maybe a dozen or a bit more who doesnt really believe in governing. They dont believe in funding government, they believe in small government. Then you have the other end of the ideological spectrum among republicans who come from districts that President Biden actually won. They are from districts with much more Swinging Voters are democratic voters and they have to govern an app voters and they have to govern an app to fund the government. Those two tensions have been at odds throughout the entire year. Its really coming to a head now. And the reason it is is because with such a slim majority in the house Kevin Mccarthy can only lose four or five votes and thats why this is very likely going to be successful. If its not Kevin Mccarthy, who is a . Thats a great question. We dont know. Were told by some of our republican sources who say that if Kevin Mccarthy is deposed and removed from the Speaker Chair they are actually going to nominate him again. And they are willing to go round after round until he has the votes to win. Just like we saw in january at the beginning of the year. We will see if they follow through with that. There doesnt seem to be any sort of kinse senses candidate right now. But thats not what these hardliners care about, they dont like Kevin Mccarthy, they dont think he was conservative enough. They dont think he is principled enough for the it was kind of yellow, do it and see What Happens Next. Kind of yellow, do it and see What Happens Next happens next. Before i bring in the anel, happens next. Before i bring in the panel. Could happens next. Before i bring in the panel, could this happens next. Before i bring in the panel, could this backfire happens next. Before i bring in the panel, could this backfire on happens next. Before i bring in the panel, could this backfire on matt. Panel, could this backfire on matt gates and lead to a form of a Coalition Government in the house . It caught. Its not our sediments set up. Its very difficult for that to happen system is set up. That is what of some of these moderate republicans want. Thats what some moderate democrats want as well. Thats what Many Democrats are saying, that Kevin Mccarthy or whoever the speaker just saying, that Kevin Mccarthy or whoever the speakerjust needs to bring in democrats more and not placate the far right of the party. That is a lofty goal. In a 2 party system where Coalition Government doesnt really work. Its going to be really fascinating to see where this goes next. Who the next speaker is and how they decide to govern. Kelly, who would really want that job . And aa days time a week before thanksgiving the house has to vote again on a spending plan. Weve seen how difficult that is. Its part time Kevin Mccarthy. How difficult that is. Its parttime Kevin Mccarthy. Thats a aood parttime Kevin Mccarthy. Thats a good point parttime Kevin Mccarthy. Thats a good point we parttime Kevin Mccarthy. Thats a good point. We have parttime Kevin Mccarthy. Thats a good point. We have to parttime Kevin Mccarthy. Thats a| good point. We have to remember, parttime Kevin Mccarthy. Thats a i good point. We have to remember, in the us good point. We have to remember, in the us system that it is important for them the us system that it is important for them to get the job done. Thats why we for them to get the job done. Thats why we elect these people in office. But based why we elect these people in office. But based on whats going on it appears but based on whats going on it appears that mccarthy is going to lose as appears that mccarthy is going to lose as speaker of the house. Its also important to remember in the us the speaker also important to remember in the us the speaker of the house doesnt have the speaker of the house doesnt have to the speaker of the house doesnt have to he the speaker of the house doesnt have to be a republican. It can potentially be a democrat. I dont think potentially be a democrat. I dont think thats going to happen but the Republican Party is divided. It needs Republican Party is divided. It needs a Republican Party is divided. It needs a Marriage Council and basically needs a Marriage Council and basically the Marriage Counsellor will tell basically the Marriage Counsellor will tell them probably that its time will tell them probably that its time to will tell them probably that its time to get a divorce. Maybe that ultimately will happen, the far right party will create some other far right party will create some other party for itself. Just farright party will create some other party for itself. Farright party will create some other party for itself. Just a word on The Democrats other party for itself. Just a word on The Democrats who other party for itself. Just a word on The Democrats who decided i other party for itself. Just a word on The Democrats who decided today they were going to support Kevin Mccarthy and have set of the reasons why they wouldnt do that, theres not a lot of trust, lets face it. But at some point they may have to get involved in this. How important is it that they all seem to be responsible . Is it that they all seem to be resonsible . , ,. ,. Responsible .

The democrats want to work with the republicans and continue to try and do so. But this is a and continue to try and do so. But this is a creation that the Republican Party have created for themselves by matt gaetz getting on themselves by matt gaetz getting on the floor themselves by matt gaetz getting on the floor and to oust the speaker of the floor and to oust the speaker of the house the floor and to oust the speaker of the house.

One of the reasons they struggled to pass a Spending Bill last week was republicans think too little is being allocated to the southern border, at least those on the hard right. This a theme that the Home Secretary Suella Braverman was picking up at the tory Party Conference in manchester today. The Wind Of Change that carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming. Because today the option of moving from a poorer country to a richer one is notjust a dream for billions of people, it is an entirely realistic prospect. Were far too squeamish about being smeared as racist she added to properly bring order to this chaos. Well, in the midst of that Speech A Heckler was escorted out of the Conference Hall for challenging quotes some of the nonsense the Home Secretary was telling conference. That heckler and those quotes from andrew boff the London Assembly member, 50 years a conservative. Heres how for cabinet secretary sir Robert Buckland responded to the speech. Its got to be very responsible about the language here. I think talking about hurricanes or weather extremes isnt helpful unless you explain the why. And we know whats happening in the world with Climate Change, with war in the sub saharan part of africa, we are seeing mass movements of population. There is no doub
