As our spain correspondent guy hedgecoe reports. The fire began at around 6am in the Fonda Milagros nightclub before spreading to two venues next to it. The cause of the blaze is unknown, but its effect was devastating. Translation we dont know anything. We are waiting for news to see whether some of our Family Members have come out alive. Translation i think we left 30 seconds or one minute before the alarms went off and all the lights went out and there were screams saying there was a fire. I was in a place where i could get out, but five Family Members and two friends are still missing. Emergency services have been searching through the rubble, trying to find bodies. For friends and relatives of those who did not escape the blaze, it has been an agonising wait. Theyve been receiving support from counsellors in a nearby sports complex. The police are now carrying out dna tests on the bodies of those killed in an attempt to identify them, but it could be a slow process. This is the worst Nightclub Fire in spain in more than 30 years, and the local authorities have declared three days of mourning. Guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. Us President Joe Biden says hes determined to restore aid to ukraine a day after funding was dropped from a temporary Spending Bill to avert a government shutdown. In order to pass the spending dealjust hours before the clock struck midnight, House Republican leaders removed a measure to send 6 billion in military assistance to ukraine after opposition from Republican Party hardliners. Both republican and Democratic Senate leaders have promised to try again to approve the additional funding soon. Speaking to reporters on sunday, mr biden vowed that the United States would not abandon ukraine, urging republicans in congress to pass the military assistance. There is no ukraine funding in this agreement. Despite that, i did not believe in letting millions of americans go through the pain of a government shutdown. But lets be clear i hope my Friends On The Other Side keep their word about support for ukraine. They said they were going to support ukraine in a separate vote. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow american support for ukraine to be interrupted. I fully expect the speaker to keep his commitment for secure passage and support needed to help ukraine as they defend themselves against aggression and brutality. Earlier, i spoke with angela stent, a non resident seniorfellow at the brookings institution. First of all, just to talk a bit about what ukrainian officials might be thinking and feeling when they watch whats going on here in the us, how worried do you think ukraine officials might be about the absence of funding for ukraine in this us stopgap bill . Well, i think they must be very worried. I mean, president zelensky was here in the us ten days ago meeting with senators and congressmen, with President Biden, requesting more assistance, he was promised that he would get it. This is a pretty disastrous situation. People in europe, and european governments must be wondering what will happen next, and i think the only people happy about this are the people in the kremlin. If this money, this funding does not materialise, were talking about some 6 billion that would have been in the bill, at least that was the senate version, if that money does not come through, what could that mean for ukraines war effort . Well, itll mean ukrainians wont get some of the weapons and the ammunition that they need. They wont get other kinds of Financial Support. Its not clear that any of the european governments can step into the breach here, so it could have very serious consequences for them in the next few weeks as they continue their counteroffensive and before winter sets in. If they do not get this extra funding, this 6 billion, although, really, what President Biden had wanted and president zelensky had requested was more like 20 billion. Were looking at images and you mentioned president zelensky was in washington about ten days ago, meeting with President Biden, speaking with lawmakers here as well, how tough of a road now do you think zelensky might be facing in terms of us aid, given the growing opposition that we are seeing among the members of the Republican Party, especially in the house . Its going to be much more challenging for him. I think what we could call the putin wing of the Republican Party, its still a minority in the congress, but those are the ones adamantly against any more funding for ukraine. The last time there was a vote on this, 70 of the republicans in the House Of Representatives voted against funding for ukraine. Now, having said that, the majority of republicans and democrats in the senate and the house do still favour supporting ukraine, but this may fall victim to all of the shenanigans going on now within the Republican Party. The speaker may lose his position. So even though President Biden has said that he hopes that very soon the assistance will be in fact included in a bill, we have no guarantee that thats going to happen. This is one of the first bits over wavering maybe that weve seen here in the us in terms of funding for ukraine. Of course, the us are not the only country thats been giving military and Financial Support to the country. How do you think this might be playing out right now in capitals of other european countries, maybe in germany, maybe in france, is this sending a ukraines other western allies about the level of support that they might be willing to provide . Yes, it certainly is, and its sending a signal that the us is not a reliable ally, since it had promised this to ukraine. So, we know in germany, there is a debate about supplying taurus missiles, wejust had an election and slovakia where a pro russian person has been elected or probably will form a coalition, robert fico was president , hungary has said that its not going to support ukraine at all, and you have in some other european capitals these parties wavering on this, and the more that populist parties come to power in elections, even in poland, theres been a spat between poland and ukraine about how much more the poles are going to supply. So i think this will cause a questioning. Really, Great Britain is one of the few countries that resolutely now is even sending trainers to ukraine. The Baltic States are certainly very strong on this, but in other european capitals, it is not so clear. Of course, this could very well be a bump in the road, as you mentioned, we could see a Bill Come Onto Floor Of The House soon that would provide this funding. But until that happens, how do you think russia and Vladimir Putin are looking on and responding to what they have been seeing go down on capitol hill this week . Well, i mean, ithink they must be very pleased. When know that putin himself is waiting for the 2024 election and hoping that trump will be elected so that the us, in that case, would probably completely stop supporting ukraine. Im sure there is russian disinformation and all kinds of things happening in this country that are reinforcing the sort of anti ukrainian message. So, from the Russian Point of view, this can only be seen as a win. Angela, we have heard these assurances from two different leaders in the senate, where President Biden saying and calls on lawmakers to get down to business and provide more funding for ukraine. How confident are you that some sort of funding bill will be passed in the next couple of weeks . Its very hard to be confident about this because if you then have the drama playing out of some of the republicans trying to get rid of Kevin Mccarthy as the speaker, they will be so absorbed in these kind of fights who knows whether they would have the time or interest in passing such a Spending Bill. I would like to be more confident than i am and i hope the president is right and apparently Speaker Mccarthy did say that he would take this up, but i think there is so much that is up in the air at the moment, its difficult to be completely confident about that. 0k. Angela stent, a non resident seniorfellow at the brookings institution, thank you so much. Thank you. Well, as we heard mentioned there, if some republicans have their way, mr biden will soon be dealing with a new speaker of the house. Florida representative matt gaetz announced that he would trigger votes this week to remove speaker Kevin Mccarthy from his leadership role. Now, mccarthy made a series of concessions to gain support from hardline republicans to become House Speaker after a historic 14 rounds of votes in january. Mr gaetz says mccarthy is in breach of his agreement. He made that commitment, he broke it, and if at this time next week Kevin Mccarthy is still speaker of the house, it will be because the democrats bailed him out, and he can be their speaker, not mine. You dont have the votes to remove him, so. By the way, i dont know until we have them, and, by the way, i might not have them the first time, but i might have them before the 15th ballot thats the number of ballots Kevin Mccarthy needs. So youre going to do this every day like you suggested . Youre going to go through this process of voting over and over and over again . I am relentless. For his part, mr mccarthy said sunday hes not going anywhere. He says he is coming for you. Can you survive . Yes, ill survive. This is personal with matt. Matt voted against the most conservative ability to protect our border, secure our border. Hes more interested in securing Tv Interviews than doing something. He wanted to push us into a shutdown, even threatening his own district with all the military people there who would not be paid, only because he wants to take this motion. So be it. Bring it on. Lets get over with it and lets start governing. Earlier, i spoke to leigh ann caldwell. She is a politics reporter with the washington post. As we heard, florida representative matt gaetz wants to try to remove Kevin Mccarthy as speaker of the house. This could come as soon as monday. How likely do you think it is he will be able to succeed . Well, carl, it is the question of the day, and lets just take a step back and explain how this process works. Any one member of the house, in this instance, it is likely to be matt gaetz, can bring up this measure to remove mccarthy from his speakership, to oust him from that position. But it takes a majority of the House Of Representatives to support that in orderfor it to pass, for it to be effective. So you look at the dynamics here. There is a faction of the Republican Party that are anti mccarthy, maybe thats five, maybe thats ten, maybe thats 20, maybe thats 30, we dont really know. But thats far from the 218 it needs for this motion to vacate to be successful. So, ultimately, what its going to come down to are democrats. Democrats are going to decide if Kevin Mccarthy is the next speaker of the house or is going to continue to be speaker of the house or not. My reporting, talking to democrats of all factions of the Democratic Party shows that they are not sure yet. There are some people who have no desire to save mccarthys job. There is very little trust for mccarthy, democrats do not like mccarthy, they think that he does not keep his word, and if they were to help him out, then they are going to extract many concessions, including a difference in how the House Of Representatives is run. Not placating and governing to the right, but perhaps to the centre, to try to actually pass moderate legislation. This is a huge discussion the democrats have started to have and will continue to have until they are forced to take this vote. You said there isnt much trust left between mccarthy and house democrats. Why is that . What happened to the relationship there, which probably wasnt that strong to begin with . Yeah, so, Kevin Mccarthy has been in the house for a very long time, for almost two decades. Many of these democrats have served with him and they know him, but most recently, was an agreement between Speaker Mccarthy and President Biden, this was back in may and june, on how to fund the government. What Funding Levels the government would be funded for this upcoming fiscal year. And they reached an agreement, and then within a week or two, Kevin Mccarthy walked back that agreement under pressure from his right, and so now he is trying to fund the government at levels that are much lower, so not agreeing to this commitment that he made with President Biden. Now, that is the biggest public example of mccarthy not keeping his word, but there is also lots of personal and private examples too. Thats one of the issues, because if mccarthy does make concessions to democrats behind closed doors, if he offers them many things in order to save hisjob, democrats are not confident that he would even keep those commitments, and so there is no love lost between democrats and mccarthy, and so were going to have to see how this plays out but, ultimately, it is up democrats, ironically.
