more heavy fighting. as israel pushes back into the north of the strip after him, us re groups there in the south. hundreds of thousands of palestinians breed play rock. but as the was really military conducts operations. plus we look at the plight of student needs. refugees in chev who have pled from the conflict and are for as more people are displaced world wide than ever put the it will. i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. us secretary of state, the mc blinking has been meeting with ukraine's president below him is a landscape the unannounced visit to keep is aimed at emphasizing america's ongoing support for ukraine as it struggles to defend against increasingly intense russian attacks. lincoln's visit comes less than a month after congress approved a long delayed military,
12:02 pm
a package for ukraine worth more than $60000000000.00. let's go straight over to our corresponding nicola and keep nick what we expect from lincoln's visit to ukraine. of the i think terry, this is 1st and foremost about showing the grading sides that they are not forgotten that america is committed. and that the attention administration of to months where basically cause a has a seem to occupy everyone's head space in dc that ukraine is still a top priority. as we said, this is a soon as the investment of time getting to key of you called fly, your ticket trains component. so it's basically a day each way a so this is a significant sign. this isn't just to kind of freaking working visits. it's his 1st since that's cause it will start using last year and his 4th system will began and compare that to many more visits, to israel in the past few months. and i think it's also about trying to discuss what to do with the $60000000000.00 worth of us 8 that are now being signed off on . and that will be coming here. increasingly we've already heard from volume is,
12:03 pm
let's keep friends present saying that the 1st priority is a defense and asking for patriot missile defense systems from the us as you can store and have a handful of these most of come from europe. so a real kind of clear requests me great inside that to help protect kind of give and the region of to base a couple of days of extreme fighting that. exactly. nick, you mentioned how shave blinking is visiting ukraine while russian forces are advancing on the region. what can you tell us about the situation on the ground in fussy? so russian forces have taken a number of villages along the border. it's basically a kind of thin strip into spit to 2 strips with a gap in between. one, it's got directly north of kind of give and the other is to the northeastern city of volk chance in different parts that that strip is. you know, the find somebody, there's other places it is a bit narrow and we're having real trouble trying to work out exactly where the brain you're, where some trips out, because often enough,
12:04 pm
there isn't any mobile phone or is that connection. so, you know, just to give you an example of this morning, you're bringing me to reporting that a village that had been thought to be under our control was actually still under your brain control once the grading chips that where able to contact the outside world. they are really the russians trying to take this town of chance. we've heard of, of a 20 live homes being fired on this place in the last couple of days. and, you know, everyone has tried to work out what they try to do. is this an attempt to take documents, this just a buffer zone that we've heard at talk criminal officials talking about along the border? or is this just a distraction read tactic to try and force ukraine's can result is here. while the main fighting continues in the east, we still don't know where we have 4 or 5 days into this now. and we know much further in terms of understanding scale and nick, the us a that's finally been approved for ukraine. $60000000000.00 worth that was held up in congress for months. how much did that delay effect ukraine's ability to defend this?
12:05 pm
so i think it was massive and it was something that basically you so the us mr . is not really wanting to admit until this new funding had finally been signed off on. we've had, you know, people, i think another mistake because everything that we had the, the c i it, erica bill buns. couple months ago saying that they do have, do you have had been lost the russians because your brain wasn't getting enough from the way about to the end of the supplies from the west. and the fact that he made the prediction. that if things didn't change, we would see more vehicles because happening and it's not just about supplies that you know what coming into the last 6 months and then and now being pushed in a great haste from us still falls in york. it was about an opportunity cost. this is about supply that needs to be ordered and produced by private companies in the us and elsewhere. and those 6 months will be lost. and sometimes, you know, we gaining those kind of supply chains and getting those companies stop producing those weapons, finding the stuff to even man does. assembly lines is gonna take potentially more time than is already being lost because you know, stuff be lost, and those companies are focused on other orders. so this is a serious problem, i think is the recognition that going forward. they're going to have to plan better
12:06 pm
. and try and see the supply coming in more regularly and to basically plan for which of these and not allow that goes to person the us to kind of the rail to support your we've seen recently for now. this money that's now being agreed on is expected to last of the end of the year, but don't say to us selection coming up the end of the year. that is something that everyone hearing to hear from the political world is very, very worried about a trump presidency and what that could mean for us to go to this country next. thank you so much brings up to date. that was our correspondent nick connelly in ukrainian capital key now to russia and the most significant opposition figure there. since the death of the opposition leader, alexa, nevada, and they were talking about vladimir colorado, was, is currently in prison, serving a lengthy sentence for treason. and after being convicted on what critics, i were politically motivated charges. he has appealed his sentence,
12:07 pm
and the supreme court in russia is now set to make it's really voicing opposition from his prison. so in russia, as he appeals his legs, the prison sentence, vladimir called remotes, has been an outspoken critic of 2 tents, russia, and the boy in ukraine. it is a stance that it's costing daily. he has suffered to suspected poisonings, as well as time in jail. steve's coverage, the savings a 25 year prison sentence on treason charges, including disseminating false information about the russian army. after he made a speech in the us saying that russia had committed war crimes in ukraine. it is the longest known sentence of all of 2 tents jailed critics longer even than the punishment, the rate will measure. amnesty international has designated him a prisoner of conscience. he has compared his case to a style and a show trial, col remote to appeal. this sentence,
12:08 pm
but it is taken until now to get to hearing the russian supreme court had postponed, the appeal insisting that to be physically present to the hearing. despite to state of health, which his lawyer has called worrying concerns about his health, a very real. since the lexi nevada, all these sudden death in an optic prison earlier this year, which is supports, is pinned on the kremlin of more on this duty on this story. i'm joined now here in the studio by are russia analysts, konstantin? i got custom team. what are the chances the current most of appeal will be approved by russia supreme court? but let's be clear about the terminology. there is no such thing as supreme court, which in russian like there is no parliament, no prosecutor's office, it's old, just an amalgamated, tyrannical regime. and of course, charles has a 0 is specially varying by the fact that he is accused of
12:09 pm
trees. and because of that doesn't give, i think, is the longest sentence to have a handed by, by the put the machine. so last for you've gain. yeah. his wife and children of charles, it's a pretty much them existence, but of course has to go 3 through all these motions. maybe then to take it to higher courts and international courts or whatever. but they need to show just family just show that they exhausted all the charts and with a lot or uh no good news. yes sir. okay. you, you pointed out that this is the longest sentence handed down to a protein critic and in russia so far, 25 years in prison. why so harsh for color? most of? well, i think because the man who have the owner of knowing for quite a few years was extremely instrumental in producing all this kind of very sanctions regimes against the russian version. he loved it very hard in congress, in
12:10 pm
u. k. problem and still deal citizen of russian ukiah. and he's been because of his eloquence because of his shop mind because of his media presence. he was very, very effective in basically helping to sanction luminaries and companies of the rest of the dream. and i think the sentence itself shows that it's really hurt because as, as besides it's, it is extra cardoza's wife and his lawyer are concerned that he may meet the same fate as alexa, nevada, and the, the opposition leader who died in prison under mysterious circumstances, dubious circumstances, what sort of conditions is a cover most of being held under that i do not want to go into basically comparison between different types of russian prisoners and all over them. a good, let's put it like that. some are in the cold climate, simon hot climates,
12:11 pm
but what i can tell you is that no mess up which prison calling you read there is an absolute possibility for the sort of just to make a life help if they want being sent to, let's say, uh, let's say the, the, the, the penalty. so which is like a vertical coffee at all being deprived or you're reading. and by the way, thing that happened to nobody who brought this is bible's excursion. it's those housing, but it does humanise as you it means you and so i do not want to go into this whole will be or right for the one who suffers from the effects of to poisonings by the russian rigid butts. uh, i'm afraid that it actually doesn't matter if they really want, if, if the crum orders that you should be treated harshly over 3 to harshly anywhere. and believe me, it is really, really harsh. the 100 percent cause thing. thank you very much. russian analysts,
12:12 pm

a to host any type of a large population. there's no space between tens, no privacy, no fire brakes. um no space to even install latrines or water points. the conditions are really tough. on top of that, many, many, many of the people displaced in rough uh, we're currently being displaced again or originally from northern gaza and they're experiencing on top of their own anxiety about their futures and what will happen to them. they're incredibly frightened about the news that they're hearing coming from more than glad that we're finding has intensified. so i'm wondering about the families and friends think left behind it so about the supply situation. aid supplies coming in to gaza. can you tell us how much aid is getting into the end type now and, and if they're able to distribute it under these more conditions, a very little aid is any, is getting in the reports yesterday about the russell west crossing in north, excuse me, errors west crossing and northern gaza,
