Trucks have Carried food and water across the border in the gaza.

Days of negotiation produced a fraction of the supplies used by millions of shows, the grande .

Stevens, and is first from npr news. Candidates for house speaker include a minnesota republican. Some backers down on trump don't like him because tom emmer did not object to trust twenty twenty election feet.

Somebody show out of step with where the republican election, where the mega movement I can even be in the conversation.

also argentine's presidential election, hands to a run off a candidate to promise to throw out the ruling party finished second. Stay with us. We've got the news. You need to start your day.

How much larger can the midwest war become? We begin the week with that question made.

Convoys have been reaching civilians in gaza, the territory governed by homos. What we don't know is how solis really troops will move in, and we are watching signs of violence elsewhere in p.

Jackie northam is doing that, watching forest from jerusalem ather. Jackie morning. okay. So we're told the two different aid convoys of cross the border into gaza is that amount of progress?

You see, if any eight is welcome. But really, workers say this latest shipment of supplies is just a fraction of what's needed for the more than seven hundred thousand palestinians who fled their homes in northern gaza to escape constant air strikes by the israeli military. The enclave has been under complete black cave, and there are a critical shortages of just about everything.

And I can only get worse. What did not get through, Steve, on this shipment, or the last convoy is fuel. And that used to run generators you to provide for just about everything in gaza. And israel does not want fuel getting through on Sunny. President biden spoke with israel prime minister Benjamin and yahoo, and they both affirm that low of humAnitarian age will continue into gaza, but that could change if and when an anticipated israeli incursion in the gaza gets underway.

Jack tried to keep a map of all in the surrounding area, head of toward the south of israel. But some of the news over the weekend called my attention to the north, to the border with lebanon, or to the occupied territories, the west bank, where a lot of palestinians live. What's going on?

Well, yeah, there, there has been a lot of action. Israel's military is certainly fortifying its northern border with with lebanon. You know these tanks and armed personnel, they're evacuating a lot of the towns that are along that border. And I mean, because there's just an increase number of exchanges of rocket attacks and gunfire between israel and a running back, has the militant in that area in lebanon know this also been a lot of violence in the west bank. There was an israeli airstrike inst the mosque at the genuine refugee camp, and that's a pretty very occurrence to have an airstrike in the west bank um I result in the west bank city of ramoo over the weekend and spoke to a community activist is there in fan and he said the people they don't want hamas but there is a desire to fight back against what he called israeli aggression let's have a listen .

to what he says I would not say that this has had to increased support for hamas ideologically or politically. But I would say that many palestinians feel that they do need to find ways to take up arms to protect themselves against attacks from sellers and israeli military.

I see, you know, the concern is that any of these flash points that we're seeing, you know, around is el could explode and just brought in the conflict throughout the region.

Well, let's zoom back in to the south to gaza, where israeli troops are massing near that border. When might they cross?

There's no no official word, but you you get the sense from defense and officials and politicians that it's imminent. You know, again, there sort of amassing tanks and troops. They continue to flat buildings with these air strikes ahead of a possible and version.

But you know, we're seeing signals from the White house at the U. S. And other western nations don't want israel to rush into that. There is two hundred house just being held. There are still two million palestinian civilians at our trap and just a broader implications of its spreading throughout the region.

And here is jackie northin with an update from jerusalem. m. jacque.

E, thanks so much. Thank you.

Okay, this week, house republicans try again to select a house speaker.

And the math is the same as IT was when republicans unc to Kevin mccarthy and then rejected two canals to replace. Some republicans do not want to rely on democrats to choose a speaker, so they have to unite almost all of their narrow majority, which mccarthy told nbc his colleagues are not ready .

to do this embarrassing for the republican party. It's embarrassing for the nation. And we need to look at one another and solve the problem.

The numerous candidates do not include the mental monitor and B, R, senior political editor, and corresponded, although he is our speaker for the next segment of the program, medical. Good morning.

And I certainly would qualify because anybody can be speaker.

That's good to know. Thank you. Thank you. Glad to know. But who are the actual contenders?

Well, there are nine of them now who are officially running. They stand out for not really standing out. I have to tell you, you know, many of these canes working the phones all weekend to try and secure support ahead of this expected closed door candidate form later today.

And maybe just maybe a vote on tuesday. The Candy gain the most buz right now is tom emr. He's a congressman from minnesota. He's the party whip, which is the chief vote counter number three and house leadership. He's mccarthy pic, mccarthy says, and american do IT on day one.

But the hard right also needs to be on board here because the margins are so narrow, they could be a huge stumbling block. Why would that be? Well, they might have liked emr, who first trained for office. You know, the one who is known as a conservative firebrand of minnesota.

He won the endorsement of Sarah pen and tea party groups for his very close bid for governor and then his subsequent run for congress, but never taking a pretty different approach since come in a congress, you know, rather than making headlines with controversial comments like, by the way, his predecessor, Michelle bowman or jim Jordan, he's been a pragmatic and spent time learning the inside game. Or he ran the national republican campaign committee, which is responsible for trying to get house members elected. That would just some pretty big good will, you know, with your colleagues. And he really rose up the leadership chain by building relationships. He even did so with some democrats on the .

committees he served on. This might explain a twitter and x or whatever that I saw over the weekend, dean phillips, who is also from minnesota, but a democrat in congress, says that would be good to have a minnesota in the house speaker chair. Hoppy works with democrats. That sounds like phillips would like this.

And I filled also, causing his own waves in the presidential primary, threatened to run against president biden. But you know, that does point the problem here. You know, trump analyze, just don't trust emr to put IT bluntness.

Emr has a huge trump problem. You trump allies just don't trust him. They don't think he's per trump enough. Emr hasn't endorsed trump in the presidential primary, did not back up trumps election lies. Force estein, a senior trump t adviser, went on Steve band's podcast and told the former trump t campaign chairman this about mr.

If somebody y's so out of step with where the republican elector is, where the maga movement is, how can they even be in the conversation? We need a mega speaker.

And that is very much seen as a message from trump himself.

yeah. Unlike a lot of other republicans, amr did not vote to object to the will of the people, as expressed in the twenty twenty election against trump and for joe biden. So how do, how do republicans get out of this?

What's all going to end? somehow? I can't tell you how, because the path is not clear right now.

But the pragmatist in the party want to fund the war in ukraine and israel, keep the government open without funding. It'll shut down in less than three weeks. But if you listen to people like danny, the trump wing just doesn't care. They welcome a government shut down. And all of this drama really is, though, a reflection of the divide within the republican party since the rise of trump, continued grip on the heart of the party and the battle for .

what it's gonna be. interview. Thanks for speaking with us.

You are welcome.

OK voters in argentina are passing judgement on their presidential candidates, and that includes the one who vowed to throw out the ruling party. And throughout the national currency, replacing IT with the U. S.

Dollar, south america's second largest economy is facing one of its worth crises in the past two decades with triple digit inflation and rising poverty. Have you millie, a former T, V pundit, and admire Donald trump's prised out hanoi with a strong showing in August primary election, but yesterday he fell short of Victory, coming in second behind the ruling part.

These candidate and pier south amErica correspondent Carry kn is following all this Carry, welcome the morning. One of the results well.

with nearly ninety nine percent of the vote, the current economy minister, the government's ruling party candidate, thirty o matha came in first with about thirty seven percent of the vote. And that's pretty stunning considering annual inflation in argentina now at one hundred and forty percent, th Epace o f t he v alues n early e very d ay. And forty percent of argenton now live in poverty.

Almost the thirty of the voters went for that far right candidate hobby. Er mila. He came in second place. Millie calls himself Steve and ancho capitalist and is about a radical overhaul of the government .

and arco capital alist. okay. And yet voters, a larger percentage of voters anyway went for the ruling party. why?

Many aren't angry though? But clearly, voters that went for that government's candidates said they worry about malays. Plans were just too radical.

Malay has said he will take a chain saw to the government, and his slash spending ditched the piano for the U. S. L, like he said, and get rid of the central bank.

Analysts are calling the vote for the government candidate, the voter they need to, and that's the fear. Vote here. Listen to this voter SONY a manza. SHE is sixty five and lives on our government pension and subsidies.

SHE says there are many poor people in the country like her that just can't make meet, but he was worried that malley would cut them off and ruin the economy even more. Okay.

so malley did not finish first, but he did make the run off because he finished second. So tell me a little more bottom.

sure. He has had the stunning rise in argenton politics. He has only been a congressman for about two years. Before that, he was this TV ponant known for these angry rant against the government and his radical economic plans, but his rise has coincided with the dramatic crash of the argentine economy.

The country is in the worst economic strates of the past two decades, and malawi has just ridden this wave of anger in the country. He talks about other issues besides the economy too. He decries what he cause, an international socialist agenda, cultural marxism.

He says he won't deal with communist, just israel and the us. He wants to ban abortion and support gun rights. Listen to this voter, maximilian o.

selena. He's thirty four. He says male is a and sometimes that argentina needs change. He says, male says what argenton are thinking that the government is crapped too big and muscle, and he is willing to overlook some of his more outrageous statements.

And the next round of voting is win.

It's november night team. And the anti government vote was split among several candidates. Is still strong. And malaya is the agenda vay a south amErica .
