It is my responsibility. It is myjob. I do not regret negotiating. Our government is designed to find compromise. I dont regret my efforts to build coalitions and find solutions. I was raised to solve problems, not create them. The ousting of the speaker follows months of fractures and in fighting in the republican party. This was brought to a head over the weekend when Kevin Mccarthy secured a funding deal with the democrats to avoid a Us Government shutdown. That deal was highly criticsed by hardline members of the party including matt gaetz, who Accused Mccarthy of doing a side deal with democrats over funding for ukraine. The house is now in recess until a vote on his replacement takes place next week. Republicanjim jordan of ohio has already thrown his name into the ring for the position of leader, as has House Majority leader steve scalise, with more names expected in the next few days. Meanwhile, the Interim Speaker has ordered former House Speaker nancy pelosi and her deputy to leave their offices in the capital building. President biden has been talking about the removal of speaker Kevin Mccarthy, urging political leaders to change the poisonous atmosphere in washington. Lets hear what he had to say. The house will now reorganize and select a new speaker. I know its going to take some time, but i remind everyone we have a lot of work to do and the American People expect us to get it done. The argument we reached was about what comes next, but we had an agreement. We reached an agreement over the weekend. Funds for government, only another a0 days. We cannot and should not again be faced with an 11th hour decision, brinksmanship that threatens to shut down the government. And we know what we have to do. We have to get it done in a timely fashion. More than anything, we need to change the poisonous atmosphere in washington. I know we have strong disagreements, but we need to stop seeing each other as enemies. We need to talk to one another, listen to one another, work with one another and we can do that. Ijoined with minority leaderjeffries in saying that our republican colleagues remain committed to working in a bipartisan fashion. We were prepared to do it as well for the good of the American People. Twice in the last six months both houses came together on a bipartisan basis, once to avoid default, once to keep the government open, and while we should never have been in the situation in the first place, im grateful that leaders on both sides came together, including former speaker mccarthy, to do the right thing.

A lot can happen between now and next week. Some of these members who are running for speaker are reaching out to President Trump as we speak to try and get his endorsement. I dont know what that role to play here, but everybody is making the phone calls, making the promises, the commitments and itjust becomes a matter of who can get to the magic number first. Matter of who can get to the magic numberfirst. Which is 219. It number first. Which is 219. It doesnt seem that there was a plan in place to move to oust the old speaker, there was no unity candidate ready to go. If speaker, there was no unity candidate ready to go. If you look at janua candidate ready to go. If you look at january when candidate ready to go. If you look at january when kevin candidate ready to go. If you look at january when Kevin Mccarthy l candidate ready to go. If you look i at january when Kevin Mccarthy tried at january when Kevin Mccarthy tried to become speaker for the first time there was not a clear alternative. That is the reason why kevin was able to hold onto the speakership, there was nobody obvious to replace him. Some members got to the point that they felt it was more critical for kevin to be moved out of the Speakers Office than have a clear line of succession. It is a bit slow, line of succession. It is a bit sloppy, but line of succession. It is a bit 51ppy, but government line of succession. It is a bit slppy, but government is line of succession. It is a bit sloppy, but government is sloppy. When the caucus decides who is the next speaker, by next tuesday, you will have a unified front going into the next budget negotiations, which is critical going forward.

It has been utilised more, weaponised more, in recent times, but the rule had very little to do with kevin losing the speakership. A lot of members felt they couldnt trust him enough to go forward, and that becomes a problem when youre the leader of the party, trust matters, and when you lease that, that becomes a problem. When you lose the trust of your caucus during a bad position. Going forward, whoever becomes the next speaker will learn from a kevin tate, wattie promised everybody, then delivered nothing, the cold, hard truth to have this logjam moving forward.

The next speaker will come forward and say no ukraine funding. We be in a stalemate and whether we shut down government in 40 days will be completely to terminate on how hard the Republican House members want to go on the funding ukraine. You will probably see President Biden clink on that. We will see the end of the United States funding ukraine. We will see the end of the United States funding ukraine. The gymnastics World Championships continue in antwerp, belgium, with japan taking the gold in the mens team final ahead of china and the United States. The Big Star At The Championships is of course simone biles. The american gymnast has qualified for the womens all around final. On sunday, she became the first woman to land the Yurchenko Double Pike vault, a high difficulty skill historically only done by men at an international competition. The Yurchenko Double Pike vault, a high difficulty skill historically only done by men at an international competition. Lets speak to Olympic Gymnast danusia francis. Thank you for coming on the programme. Lets start with this achievement by biles, yet another remarkable one against her name. She now has remarkable one against her name. Sue now has five remarkable one against her name. Sie now has five skills named after her, two on the vault.

Spain, portugal and morocco will co host the 2030 mens fifa world cup, but only after uruguay, argentina and paraguay have staged the opening three games. The deal brings to an end a dispute between the two rival bids. The three South American nations had claimed the right to host the world cup to mark the centenary of the first fifa competition, which was played in uruguay. The deal means that for the first time the world cup will be played across three continents and six different countries. Earlier, i spoke with gavin hamilton, editor and writer at sport business. He gave me his reaction to this solution. Its a very messy compromise on behalf of fifa and its president , gianni infantino. He was desperate to avoid a messy Bidding Process between spain, portugal and morocco on the one hand and the South American bid on the other hand. You also have to bear in mind hes running another Bidding Process for the 2034 world cup and the last time fifa had two Bidding Processes is running almost at the same time was 2018 and 2022, which went to russia and qatar in very controversial circumstances, where there was lots of horse trading, accusations of vote rigging and bribery and fifa has been tarnished by that and scarred by that and is desperate to avoid that process again. But 2034, which is a really big factor in this 2030 decision, is likely to go to saudi arabia because they are the country thats most prepared to spend the money on a bid. Fifa is desperate to avoid accusations that saudi arabia would be influencing a bidding war between South Americans and spain, portugal. So theyve set up this messy compromise where the world cup is going to be played over three continents with six different countries. I dont know what it says about fifas green credentials and its efforts to be carbon neutral, but its a mess. Lets get to the practicalities, then. How is that going to work . Is everyone going to be flown out to these three countries in South America and then everyone flown back to europe and north africa for the rest of the competition . W
