BBC World Service - Business Matters, US Congressional deadlock continues

Vote to appoint a new Speaker for the House of Representatives shows no sign of a result

Republican Kevin McCarthy has failed in his latest bid to get elected Speaker after 11 rounds of voting.

After 11 rounds of voting, there is still no result in sight to appoint a new leader for the US House of Representatives. Republicans took over the lower chamber of Congress in November's midterm elections, but an internal row is withholding the election of their candidate, Kevin McCarthy, as House Speaker. The impasse has caused a paralysis of US government not seen since the pre-Civil War era. We get the latest from Washington.
