A warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the United States and all around the world. Im bianca nobilo. And im max foster. Just ahead on cnn newsroom the office of Speaker Of The House is hearby declared vacant. A day weve never seen. I will not run for speaker again. Mr. Trump, will you be testifying . Yes, i will. Gag order from judge engoron after trump attacked the judges clerk. A Passenger Bus plunges from a bridge. Two of the victims were children. Live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. It is wednesday, october 4, 9 00 a. M. In london, 4 00 a. M. In washington where the gears of government have essentially ground to a halt after the unprecedented ousting of u. S. Republican House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy. Tuesdays extraordinary vote pushed by hardline conservatives ma ma makes mccarthy the first voted out in u. S. History. The Republican Party has now 34 plunged deeper into extraordinary. It is extraordinary. I was watching it last night and it is staggering even by british parliamentary standards. A low standard youre starting off with. Lawmakers will now need to elect a new speaker but there is no clear alternative who would have the support needed to win the gavel. Mccarthy says he will not try for the speakership again. He was removed from the number three job among growing infighting within his party. These eight republicans revolted against him over his decision to work with democrats to fund the government and avoid a hit. I think today was a political decision by the democrats. And i think the things that they have done in the past hurt the institution. They just started removing people from committee. They just started doing other things. And my fear is that the institution fell today. Because you cant do the job if eight people you have 96 of your entire conference, but eight people can partner with the whole other side. How do you govern . And for them to make a motion on me because i made a decision for the country, that they agreed with, but they choose to do the other. That becomes a problem. With the house now likely out of session for the rest of the week, republicans are expected to gather next tuesday to consider possible candidates to replace mccarthy. Names already being tossed around as manu raju reports from washington. Reporter republicans struggling to figure out their way forward after todays Historic Vote Kicking out Kevin Mccarthy for the First Time Ever a sitting Speaker Of The House ejected from his seat by his own colleagues. This vote coming after eight republicans sided with all democrats to kick him out. Kevin mccarthy could only afford to lose four republicans. So he was unable to convince some of those members on the hard right in particular who were unhappy about some of his deal making. Really only two deals in particular, one to raise the National Debt limit to avoid a debt default, he had to get a deal with the white house and Senate Democrats to get that through. And the other one, to avoid a government shutdown, one that he cut over the weekend and allowed democrats to help push that through to avoid a potentially disastrous government shutdown. And just to keep the government open for another 45 days, that was enough to lead matt gaetz to lead the charge to seek Kevin Mccarthys ouster. He got the support of seven other republican colleagues enough to kick out mccarthy. In a startling move that really caught many of his own colleagues by surprise announcing that he would not be a candidate for speaker again. Kevin mccarthy said that he would step aside. He told me that he could potentially name get behind a successor, but he wouldnt disclose who because he didnt know who would run. This is as tension is growing among those mccarthy allies going after some of those critics who pushed out Kevin Mccarthy, questioning whether they are true conservatives. I think kevin recognizes that nobody can meet their demands and the conference will figure out how we deal with, you know, eight people that candidly are not interested in governing. Republicans that claim to be, quote, conservatives just voted with every single democrat in the house of representatives. That would be the equivalent of every republican voting for nancy pelosi. That is what they did. Mr. Jordan, how disappointed are you with what happened here . I thought it was unfair to kevin. Kevin i think has done a fine job. And he and i came in together. Hes a good man. And he didnt deserve this in my judgment. Will you run for speaker . That is a decision for the conference. Are you open to it . Reporter that last comment could be significant. Jim jordan who is House Judiciary Committee chairman pointedly declined to say whether he would rule out running for speaker. He had typically in the past ruled out running for speaker. This is the first time that he in fact is not ruling out the possibility of running for speaker. Saying that it is a conference decision. So well see what he ultimately decides. But he could have a race. Chairman of the republican study committee, Largest Group of conservatives, is open to the idea of running. He is floating his name according to sources weve spoken to. And well see what tom emer, the republican whip, decides to do. Or if he gets behind steve scalise, current number two, whether he decides to run for speaker. So a lot of questions in this tumultuous moment for the gop. Can they get their agenda going and avoid a government shutdown, all huge questions after Kevin Mccarthy becomes first speaker to meet his fate on the floor of the house. Manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. Some democrats say Kevin Mccarthy brought this upon himself. Here is how Eric Swalwell described the situation. It is the right decision because he has brought chaos to the country and this is the first time in nine months where ive seen him put the country in front of his own job. But just stepping back and thinking about what do my constituents think of this, they think it is tragic and they look at the failures that maga gop has put upon us and they see this bucket of crabs that keeps trying to pull the rest of the country down into the chaos that they crave. And although republicans are the Majority Party in the house, they are working as an opposition party, they are opposed within themselves and they are opposed to just getting things done. Meanwhile some republicans who are vulnerable in next years election say they are worried that the Leadership Crisis in their party will hurt their chances at the polls. Ultimately holding the majority in the house. Ron brownstein says that mccarthys ouster shows many hardline conservatives will not tolerate a republican leader who makes bipartisan deals with the democrats. The lesson here is that there is a portion of the republican conference that feels that it has to be seen always taking every confrontation to the max. And that any form of collaboration or compromise with democrats really is capitulation. And you know, this decapitation of the house leadership is going to loom over whoever replaces mccarthy and how they approach this next government shutdown. Because it is pretty ironic that Kevin Mccarthy is taken down on the grounds that he was insufficiently committed to confronting and combatting democrats. And if you look at his record, there are a lot of things that you can accuse Kevin Mccarthy of, but the idea that he was some sort of rampant deal maker with the two big exceptions is pretty farfetched. Without a speaker absolutely nothing will get done in the u. S. House. Republicans have gone on recess until next week as they scramble to find a path forward. Sources say they will return tuesday for a Conference Meeting before a potential vote later next week on Elect Goigoing next week on elect goigo a new speaker. And they will vote as many times as it takes for a candidate to secure 218 votes. Donald trump says he will be back in court today for day three of his civil trial. And Accountant Bender will be back on the stand. On tuesday the former president answered this question from reporters mr. Trump, will you be testifying . Yes, i will. At the appropriate time, i will be. Trump is on the witness list for both sides in the case. After 45 minute delay in tuesdays afternoon session, the judge reprimanded trump for attacking his clerk in a social media post. Despite the rebuke it makes uncertain whether trump will stop making such public comments. Brynn gingras reports from new york. Reporter gag order issued by this judge against the defendants in this case all because of a truth social post by the former president. It was a picture of the judges clerk with Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and in that post basically claiming without evidence that she is schumers girlfriend. This clearly crossed the line for the judge when court resumed in the afternoon, he discussed the matter saying that there was disparaging and untrue and personally identifiable picture that was posted of a member of his staff. He ordered that it be deleted. But he said that it was already sent to millions of people. And he said this, quote, personal attacks of any member of my court staff are unacceptable and inappropriate and i will not tolerate them. And after that, he said that none of the defendants could speak publicly about anyone on his staff. So remember, this is the same judge who will be calling all the shots determining damages in this trial and the president clearly going too far on this one. A gag order now issued against him on just day two of the civil trial. Brynn gingras, cnn, new york. Tennessee state lawmaker who was expelled from the legislature is accusing the states House Speaker of stopping his right to speech saying he was blocked to express views on Critical Issues that violate the first amendment. The democrat was removed from his seat in april after he and two others called for gun reform. He was reappointed shortly after that and won back the seat in a special election but jones is now asking the Court To Prevent Sexton from curbing his speech and reinstate his Committee Appointments and declare his removal unconstitutional. Police in baltimore say five people have been shot on the campus of morgan state university. In a News ConferenceOfficials Say four of the victims were student, all five are expected to survive. Shelterinplace order has been lifted even though they are searching for the shooter. It reminds us all again that we are dealing with not just here in baltimore, not just at morgan state university, but across this country of the United States, an epidemic when it comes to guns and gun violence. And it is time for us to get serious about that not just at the local level where weve recovered over 2100 guns, but at the national level. We have to stop saying not one more. We need action now. In northern italy, at least 21 people have been killed because of a Passenger Bus careened off the bus near venice. Two of the victims were children. Italian Authorities Say 18 others were injured when the bus broke through the wall of an overpass before falling to the ground and catching fire. Now they are working to determine what caused the crash. Ben wedeman is following these developments and he joins us live from rome. Ben, this is such a tragic incident. Ive been looking at the italian media this morning. People describing the scene as a apoca apocalyptic. What more can you tell us about how the victims are doing, those that have been moved to hospital and also any preliminary investigation into what may have caused this . Reporter we understand that among the victims, there are children and the victims were sort of sent to a variety of hospitals in the area. But this happened just before 8 00 p. M. Yesterday evening when this bus which was an electric bus crashed through the guardrail and fell 15 meters down to Railroad Tracks below. Now, the investigation is only just beginning. The prosecutor for the city of venice has gbegun an investigation. They are looking now at the cctv footage of that bridge where the accident took place. Now, there are a variety of hypotheses they are looking at, one is that perhaps the driver who was a 40yearold italian citizen with six or seven years of experience may have been ill. Now, it has also been pointed out that when the bus crashed to the ground, it burst into flame. There is some speculation that perhaps the large electric battery may have had something to do with the fact that so many people were killed by the flames themselves. Now, among the victims, we understand that there are ukrainians, french, better man, croatian, spanish citizens, but not all of the victims have been identified so far. Ben wedeman, thank you so much for bringing us the latest update. Still ahead, u. S. President Biden Lining Up European support for ukraine as funding from the u. S. Congress remains in limbo. And plus natos top leader says ammunition is at the top of the barrel and he wants to fix the problem. And the uaw on strike now for three weeks. Details on what it is costing the economy. Pentagon says it has enough money to continue supporting ukraine for the time being but that could run out. And the white house is trying to ease allies fears after funding was not included in the last minute deal to avoid a government shutdown. Alex fmarquardt reports. Reporter the white house is now expressing confidence that most members of congress will continue to support ukraine. The white house announced earlier on tuesday that President Biden had held a call with various allies to coordinate ongoing aid for ukraine. Those on the call included the Prime Minister of canada, the head of nato as well as some in the european leadership. And the white houses john kirby told reporters that we cannot under any circumstances allow americas support for ukraine to be interrupted. More of what h. The president rea affirmed support for as long as it takes. They discussed providing ammunition and Weapons Systems that it needs. To continue strengthening air defenses as they prepare for more attacks on Critical Infrastructure now certainly but also certainly in the winter months ahead. Reporter this is as the Biden Administration is escalating its efforts to pressure ukraine to crackdown on corruption. According to multiple u. S. Officials who spoke with cnn, there have been several notices to kyiv in the past few weeks indicating that certain kinds of u. S. Economic aid will be linked to ukraines progress in reforming its institutions. The Department Even issued a diplomatic note to ukraine in the late summer which said that the u. S. Expects ukraine to continue pursuing various anticorruption and financial transparency efforts in order to keep receiving direct budget support. That is different however than military aid. In response, ukraines embassy here in washington, d. C. Told cnn that ukraine has moved ambitiously they said to pass reforms and, quote, we have conducted these reforms initiated by ukraine with the help and support from the u. S. , eu and other friends.

Natos top Military Official is warning that western allies are running out of ammunition to give to ukraine. The admiral says that the bottom of the barrel is now visible and the Industry Needs to step up production. Uk Armed Services minister echoed the warning during the same Panel Discussion at the annual warsaw security conference. He said western allies cant stop giving just because stockpiles are growing thin, although practically he acknowledges the issue. They cant give if they dont have it. The European Union is stepping up with a large aid package. Nada bashir is joining us. Yesterday we talked about all the extra money that the European Union is promising while it is in doubt in america, but now were literally talking about not enough equipment being around to send to ukraine. Absolutely. And in the midst of the conversation, were seeing the eu trying to put forward this image that they are stepping up to that challenge, that they will be backing ukraine for the long road. And this is set to be a lengthy counteroffensive and these concerns about Weapons Shortages amongst nato allies in terms of supplies being offered to ukraine is a huge issue. We know Ukraine Armed forces is heavily reliant on that funding particularly when it comes to ammunition on the western nato allies. We heard yesterday from eu lawmakers adopting now a multiyear Funding Package for ukraine set to take place over four years worth up to 52 billion. So this is a significant package and it is crucially a long term
