January 4, 2023: Kevin McCarthy, House speaker race, Biden, McConnell visit Kentucky, Russia, COVID
1. Republican Kevin McCarthy vowed to remain in the race to be the powerful U.S. House of Representatives speaker, hours after hardline members of his party repeatedly blocked his bid to lead their brand-new majority.
2. President Joe Biden and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell will make a rare joint appearance at a bridge in Kentucky in a display of bipartisanship that offers a guide to how the White House hopes to govern in months to come.
3. The doctoral student accused in the November stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students will be transferred to Idaho to face murder charges there, after he agreed at a court hearing in Pennsylvania not to fight extradition.
4. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia was planning to call up more troops for a major new offensive, even as Moscow was facing some of its biggest internal criticism of the war over a strike that killed scores of fresh conscripts.
5. China's state media rallied citizens for a 'final victory' over COVID as health officials abroad tried to work out the scale of its raging outbreak and how to stop it spreading.
