the us house of represent has passed bills, which would, in principle, raise the age limit on buying semi automatic weapons and establish federal red flag laws. but the bills are not likely to become law because of united republican opposition in the senate. something activists here cannot understand if our government can't do anything to stop lighting, kids from being killed and flattered in their own school and a capitated. it's time to say, oh, then got it. from the very top of the us government, president joe biden urged demonstrators not to give up margin with the way people with affect my vote died, but protesters are not giving up yet. and they demanding action from the lawmakers . d w. c. me. so misconduct was at the rally in washington in has more on the change. protesters want they want just any sort of change. i mean, we saw so many signs imploring lawmakers to do something to make of schools, churches supermarket safer. we have seen the spade of mass shootings in buffalo, new york, and you've all the texas, tulsa, oklahoma and the anger and the frustration was really palp

first the house of representatives members of the house are elected on the basis of population. the entire country is divided up into congressional districts of about 300,000 people each members of the house are elected for short terms two years since they have to come up for re-election so often they must constantly be responsive to the wishes of the voters. it is here also that delegates from our territories sit as non-voting members. for the house does only half the job of making the laws the other half is done by the senate which meets in the other wing of the capital. senators are elected on the basis of state representation two senators from each state regardless of his population. they hold office for long term six years. their terms of office are staggered so that some expire every two years thus guaranteeing that there will always be experienced men in the senate. all our federal laws have to go through both the house and the senate. this is the way it works bill. first a proposed law is introduced into one branch of the legislature as a bill. it has always been a numbe

in june of last year, the house of representatives voted 222 to 190 to create this committee. if you read down to sub section 5 of that resolution, and this was massed in the house of representatives and a lot of republicans voted against it, it gives the committee subpoena power. it's there in black and white. republicans will argue that the committee wasn't properly populated, certain republicans weren't on the committee that kevin mccarthy wanted. it was done with the consultation of the speaker of the house. that is ill defined. that's the language in the resolution. but it's up to the speaker to determine who is on the committee. that's the justification that navarro and other republicans keep coming back to saying this committee is illegitimate. he talked about this idea today that it's up to congress to deal with legislative authority. they have held other figures in contempt of congress before. roger clemens, the house oversight committee didn't think he was truthful about the use of performance enhancing drugs in the national past time. they referred him to prosecutio

and in the i was off about hearing the house of representatives passed a sweeping package of gun violence. prevention measures was just a handful of republican party members, joined democrats and approving the bill, which has little no hope of getting through the senate article here in washington. dc explains where the bill aimed to do when laid on wednesday, the us house of representatives past what is easily the most aggressive gun control legislation in years if not in decades. some of the things that the house passed basically raised the age for someone to be able to buy an assault weapon from 18 as it is now to $21.00. they want to ban the sale of large capacity magazines. basically, if a clip can hold a 15 bullets or more, they want to get rid of that. they also want to create safe storage requirements for people who keep firearms in their homes. the legislation would also ban ghost guns. those are basically guns that can be made from kit. they're pretty much untraceable, and they want to ban bumps stocks. those are tools that can turn basically a rifle into what appears more to be

getting these measures through the house will be no difficulty indeed, because the house of representatives passed some gun control measures of its own just a couple of days ago, which went further than these measures agreed upon by this bipartisan group of senators. that is almost a rubber stamping, if you like, by the house of representatives, it then goes to the president. presumably if it can get through the senate, and the indication it has the ten votes necessary from republicans to do so, then this will come into law quite quickly. let's get more now on the government facing potential legal action from disability campaigners, after it decided not to back a key recommendation of the grenfell tower public inquiry. ministers said it was not practical to provide vulnerable residents in tower blocks with personal evacuations plans. earlier i spoke to fazilet hadi, who's head of policy at disability rights uk — that's an organisation which works to improve life for disabled people in the uk. i began by asking her why this decision could make people more vulnerable than they would otherwi

>> i know the house of representatives is ready. we voted and passed everything that we said we would do. and we send it over the senate, and that's where it dies. so there's no question in my mind about the house of representatives, if you look at the bill that we passed, because the bill that we passed to deal with guns was much more focused, and banned the stocks, and banned assault weapons, ex sandra. we are ready in the house. we have a problem with the senate, with a 50 50 split. and a filibuster of 60 votes. so that something that we have to rectify. as well as, we need the american people to be ready. i remember in 2016, i was telling folks, at that time, we all have to get solidly behind hillary clinton to make a difference. four years of donald trump, and former years of giving mcconnell the majority has crippled us. look at the supreme court justices that we put on the court. none of them would be there if hillary was there in 2016. there ifwe have to vote our wayf this, also. mcconnell, because of his majority, blocking

so the house of representatives where the democrats have a majority. they were able to pass a package of measures this week that include things that they call common sense gun laws. like removing guns from the homes of people who are considered a risk. raising the age to purchase a semi automatic firearm from 18 to 21. but that is all but doomed in the senate, the democrats don't have the numbers, they would need 10 republicans to vote with them on this package. there is not much chance that they will get the majority. they are still negotiating. there's some optimism, but most observers here believe that congress will come up short again on legislation, on gun control to me. so misconduct, they are reporting from washington. this is dw news. lie from berlin, coming up next reporter, looking at the decline of turkey's nomad population. don't forget you can get all the latest news and analysis on our website, d, w dot com, a micro look good for me and the rest of the team here in berlin. thanks for watching. there's more news in 45 minutes. with a.

this is bbc news, the headlines: the us house of representatives has approved a series of measures aimed at regulating the sale of guns, including raising the age for purchasing semi—automatic rifles. but the proposals do not have the 60 votes they would need for approval in the senate, and are unlikely to become law. ukraine's second city of kharkiv, has come under renewed attack from a number of russian missile strikes. the city of severodonetsk is also under heavy fire. prime minister volodomyr zelensky says in many respects the fate of the donbas region is being decided in that region. on his first trip to the democratic republic of the congo, king philippe of belgium has returned a priceless kakungu mask, taken out of the country before independencde in 1960. this is the first of almost 80,000 artefacts that will be returned for display in museums in the drc. now on bbc news, hardtalk with stephen sackur. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. when vladimir putin ordered his invasion force into ukraine in late february, is this the scenario he imagined for earlyjune? a brutal wa

yes, it's true there are many maga members of congress, particularly in the house of representatives who will continue to have, you know, maga-phones. however, we have seen some evidence that there are republicans out there who are tired of donald trump. that is why he lost the election in 2020. look at the election results in georgia, for example, where there are republican members of congress who were sent, most of them back to washington with more votes, more -- larger percentage of the vote than donald trump received on the presidential ballot. these are also the same people who sent brian kemp into the governor's office in georgia, who sent brad raffensperger back into the secretary of state's office despite an effort by donald trump. there is everyday i think there are republicans who are looking to turn the page. i think so far the evidence we've seen across the board in elections is that attacking donald trump outright is a bad plan if you want to win a republican primary. but you can in fact kind of run past him. yeah, he's mad at me, i'm not mad at him. this is what we're g
