MCCARTHY SACKED: Why is the Republican Party eating itself alive?

MCCARTHY SACKED: Why is the Republican Party eating itself alive?

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, is ousted by his own party. The first time it's happened in US history. It's the start of a Republican civil war.

Why has it happened? Because he dared to find compromise with the Democrats.

What is going on in that party?

What does it tell us about the chance of the parties ever working together?

And later, Trump is on trial in New York. It’s a civil case that could cost him millions and see him stripped of assets, hotels and businesses. Trump and the courts meet once more.
