hello. i'm telling you a lot of a welcome to the program. the white house has announced $300000000.00 in military aid for ukraine. the move side steps, the u. s. congress, but republicans have installing a much bigger aid package. the assistance will be the 1st in a month from the us. it was announced as president biden hosted polish leaders and washington ponds president andre, due to an prime minister dental task hopes to secure even more funding for ukraine's war effort. the visit is to mock the 25th anniversary of poland, joining nato and the pushing for a stronger presence in the blocks east. the data on these benjamin alvarez group eyes following the story for us in washington, dc asked him what came out of the meeting between vitamin and poland. lead has a clear message from both polish leaders. it's quite remarkable that we have both the president and also their prime minister here meeting with us presidential by.

and what they said before the meeting was also what they said after the meeting. that needs to be more and more support for ukraine, but also for poland. and they said that the eastern flag of need to needs to be, is strengthened. and that's something that present bite. and it also a stress, well saying that this 300000000 this is support and that the us ascending now should not delay. also what will be send and this by part of some bill that struck and encouraging the board, and that's what national security advisor sullivan said that to 300000000 i just now, but they needs to be more additional support. something that president biden said, it was also praising that colon spends almost 4 percent of the g d p. so double the natal commitment and that's an idea of the poland also has in both liter stress today that nato countries, they should actually pay more of the g d p for defense now as the calling for other allies to support ukraine to defend itself against russia. a, this is

a make shift fund, but remind us there has been a bigger funds that congress has been debating what, what's, what's going on with that? that's right, it's silvia installed because many republicans are saying that the us should 1st take care of the solving board of its own board is before helping other allies like ukraine, like israel, i take long like be in the pacific and that's also something that the speaker of the house of representative has repeatedly said, and that's quite interesting because the polish prime minister addressed him today was pretty darn it was he said he must be aware. and i hope he is already aware that on this individual decision depends the fate of millions of people. and this comes at a time where there was concern also. because recently we had a meeting between the prominence of hungary, victor, or button with a donald trump in myrtle lago and florida. and he made some concerns and made some comments that raised eyebrows and also concerns with european all those because he spoke about it. what donald trump allegedly said about support for you create and

let listening to a lot for me to be beat out. the donald trump has a very clear vision, which is hard to disagree this, and then he won't give a penny to the new craney and russian will have a city. so this is why the will will end up for, but because it's obvious that ukraine cannot stand on its own 2 feet, but any of our you'll use the americans don't give them money or weapons and take your opinions. don't give them back then the will is over because i will pay you probably been so pressure that from europe, but also there's domestic pressure on the present bite and as elections come up. can you tell us more about that of the this ryan, the elections are coming up and we see how both a democrats and republicans continue arguing over this bill. what should be send, what should not be signed, because there's so much in this package that has been sold in congress for a long time. now that's something that president biden has been pushing for. he

pushed it on his speech a full, the state of the union, and also when he speaks to our allies and we hear. and we also see a us officials when they talk to europe in our saying that the us will continue ukraine as long as needed. that's something that the whitehouse is repeatedly set by. that's why today when they set that they would census $300000000.00. this emergency fund, they said this is only a part, this will give you crane munition for a few weeks. but for them to be able to defend themselves in long term, they need most important apple pressing and also not just in the republicans, but also their own democrats to say that they should not be sending so much more weapons to get this bill through as quickly as possible for more helpful you benjamin alvarez group i in washington dc. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world. a close ally of the late russian position leader alexi, nevada. he has been attacked outside his home in the su area. no need for the folk of was reportedly assaulted in his call with

a with tear gas and hama police said he was admitted to a hospital and they are investigating the attack. the intense rains have flooded the streets of origin. tina's capital, the storm led to flash flooding, which quote, flight consolations, power outages, and left in time neighborhoods in but as iras. so much mature. ologist predict at least 48 more hours of rain, local government as cold, the storm. an unprecedented natural disaster. and he's 50 people have been injured after blowing 787 slang from australia to new zealand. suddenly lost altitude mid flight for people who were on that you ann latham, slight, remain in hospital evasion. authorities of launch and investigation is the latest in a string of safety incidents involving the us plain maker. let's turn now to haiti, where fresh protests have broken out over a plan by the regions, nations,

to revamp the countries leadership. demonstrators have blocked busy streets in the process. they say they're opposed to foreigners interfering with the countries politics. us and caribbean officials said they would have point transitional council to govern hazy, following the prime minister has promised resignation. and they also help to rein in the gangs of control most of the capital and one that the country risks and all out civil war. thousands of people have been displaced during weeks of deadly violence, and many are running out of food. journalist harold isaac joins us from the haitian capital pulse department. harold has the news of the prime minister's impending resignation, had any effect on the violence, as well. maybe not as much of the facts as was expected in the 1st hours we've been uh, pretty much having a bit of a reprise, in terms of uh,

the unabated violence that has waged over the cd for the past 2 weeks. and people won't be able to resupply, and there's been some oral distribution from the terminal and from the ports. right. and what all the gains saying about this next stage. now that the prime minister is expected to step down. so there's been some reaction, but really not to the proportion that we've seen so far. we must say that right now everybody is kind of expecting a nomination of individuals that will be in the new structure that is uh agreed upon to take the lead after our re, which is a presidential college of sorts that will have 7 members from various different parties that will be leading the country for the coming uh for the,

for until the elections and until security is, or it was or establish the guns, trying to portray themselves as freedom fighters. do you expect them to jostle for political pie? if haiti want to make this transition as well, the reality of gangs in haiti is a complicated one because for long they have been weaponized to be um, to qual, defense in popular neighborhoods, and to sway elections one way or the other. they've become criminal enterprises, especially in the last few years, full blown to criminal enterprises involved in the racketeering and kidnappings. so there are next steps you know, following this evolution or this uh, this, these 2 steps politically, how they will grow from that. it's all unclear at this point, right from the outside looking in it, it looks desperate, you know, with a security and humanitarian situation as well as the political violence. help us

understand why there is this great resistance within hazy towards the efforts of the outside wells to help. well, haiti has been facing both an institutional, any constitutional crisis for many, many years. that has been an aggravated with the assassination of president drove anomalies in july of 2021. and ever since the country has been led by the care taken government of all you on re until yesterday. so as you can tell, and as you can see, the reality, the political reality in haiti is very complicated and, and has led to several episodes of political violence. and as such, um if i'm clear really um, if we're gonna be seeing a day of peace any time soon on the path for it looks very, very long at this point or it will be watching that closely. but journalist harald
