US media is reporting that President Joe Biden has asked the Israeli prime minister to agree to a three-day pause in fighting. That’s to allow for the release of Israeli captives. While the White House is not confirming those reports, US officials are publicly disagreeing with Israel more than they have since the war on Gaza began.

The United States House of Representatives has adjourned for a second day without a speaker, as Republican leader Kevin McCarthy continued to fall short of the majority he needs to preside over the chamber. In the sixth round of voting on Wednesday, far-right opposition to McCarthy persisted, setting up the prospect of a prolonged crisis in Congress as the House remains practically paralysed without a speaker. McCarthy needed 218 votes to claim the gavel. But in three ballots on Wednesday, he only received 201, with 20 far-right Republicans backing Congressman Byron Donalds and one voting “present” as a sign of protest. Democrats remained united behind their nominee, Hakeem Jeffries, who […]
President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party will hang on to control of the United States Senate after a midterm election victory in Nevada. Catherine Cortez Masto defeated her Republican opponent Adam Laxalt, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto has won re-election in Nevada, giving her party the 50 seats they need to keep control of the United States Senate. Democrats’ hold on the Senate is a blow to Republicans’ high hopes of wresting away control of Congress in a midterm election that typically favours the party out of power. It was still unclear which party would control the House of Representatives as counting continued in razor-tight races in California and a smattering of other states. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #unitedstates #US […]

In the United States, and in California, there is increasing alarm over the number of over-fifties who find themselves living on the streets. They make up most of the more than half a million people there who are homeless. Many have been forced from their homes because they are unable to pay large increases in their rent.

US President Joe Biden is proposing to fund his $2.25 trillion economic programme by increasing taxes for the first time in nearly 30 years. The Biden administration’s ambitious plan to stimulate the coronavirus-hit economy will include investments in infrastructure, cleaner drinking water and green energy. But Republicans in Congress opposing the tax on corporate and high-earners say the sums involved are just too high.
