continues tend to and crushing any remaining resistance. the white house says it's sending new shipments of military aid to help you cranium. like back. we're in a critical window now. and united states and our allies and partners are moving as fast as possible to continue to prod ukraine. the forces that they need, the weapons they need, excuse me, the equipment they need, their forces need to defend varnish. the latest aid package announced the same day, the ukrainian prime minister was in washington meeting with you as president joe biden. and military leaders, totals 800000000 and heavy artillery, including 72 howitzers, 144000 rounds of ammunition, and follows more than a 1000000000 in security assistance already sent to ukraine. however, with this latest dispersion, i'm almost exhausted to draw down authority. i have the congress authorize for

ukraine. that's why next week, by then we'll ask congress for even more money to continue the flow of weapons. but as for where these weapons go, once handed out the white house admit there is little accountability. the failure to track who is receiving us weapons, alarms, members of the president's own democratic party. congresswoman ill han omar last month tweeted the consequences could be disastrous if weapons are given to paramilitary groups, such as the far right linked ass off battalion without accountability for these weapons also end up in conflicts outside of the country. and this is the, one of the primary concerns. it's really out of the control of the united states. you know, when we provide weapons, we try to ask the countries to agree to use them and control them in certain ways. but ultimately, that's not something we can have control over for decades,

the u. s. government has armed non state groups in iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria, and elsewhere. often with unintended consequences. most recently enough gamma stan weapon supplied by the united states to fight the taliban are now being used by some militias against civilians to commit human rights violations. the defense department is calculating just how much money the white house will need from congress for weapons for ukraine. whatever the mouth president biden says, the goal is to keep the weapons flowing without interruption. kimberly, how can al jazeera, the white house, the prime ministers of spain and denmark have also pledged to send more weapons to ukraine on a visit to cave. there the lightest your pain later to meet the ukrainian president in recent waves. they also made the trip to bardy anchor outside the capitol, where the bodies of 9 civilians were found overnight. saint pet joy sanchez

especially in sub saharan africa and the middle east. beyond vod volume is zalinski had 2 other requests. we need immediately to exclude russia from all international financial institutions. i. m. f, world bank, and others as special tax on war is needed, russia, and after that any other aggressor must bay for destroying global stability. such decks must be applied, but to all, without exception, something that hasn't been raised publicly, at least as ukraine's debt to the i m f, itself, some $13000000000.00. ukraine has been servicing about deaf. it's expected to pay some 2000000000 dollars this year. so a question being raised here in washington by politicians and activists is when they should do give money to ukraine, is a great chunk of that. just coming back here to the i m f in washington, dc. and shouldn't there be more talk about the i'm f counseling that as they're offered is when countries are affected by conflict to france now,

and presidential hopefuls how their final rally. they had a sunday night president menu on the chrome campaigned insane at st. any notes of paris is hoping to swavay his who went overwhelmingly to the left and the 1st ballot, and had smith proposed. this is supposedly hostile territory for emanuel mac wrong. in the 1st round of france is presidential election. 49 percent of the vote in sand and he went to the far left candidate john luke melon, shown in the 2nd round. the choice is micron or the far right marine le pen. i, we feel like we have to choose between the pest and cholera. this woman told the president of the guy, the high cost of living is the main concern for french boaters and jobs. this woman says nationwide, unemployment has fallen under micron to 7.9 percent, but it's high here at 11 percent. so we're creating jobs. micron says before adding,

there's no magic solution that would soon assume as if i remember our there are millions of potential melon shown king makers. the far left candidate hasn't himself endorsed macro, though he's told his support as best should not be a single vote for marine la pen makin also wants to top. the youth vote 31 percent of 18 to 24 year olds, voted for john mcmillan shawn to the north of paris. saint anthony is one of the most deprived areas of france here. micron struggles to shake off his image as president of the rich, but the far right is even more popular yet, but what, what there is no other choice. i don't see myself voting for marcella pen because she doesn't reflect my principles. so i'd rather be shot by my coin than martin. she would look like not, but, but i work from a crohn this time. i don't like what he does, but i'll be voting from a cron as a vote against slipping back. i thing. micron has already done $110.00, and i think to allow continued, he will be more advantages. the latest polls suggest emanuel micron will win

a 2nd term, but he will only keep the presidency with votes. cast grudgingly in his favor. bernard smith, al jazeera st. underneath and al jazeera is and natasha butler is in a ras, seen in northern france, where marina, penn has been holding her final campaign rally. what does very long keep people waiting right round the blog for marine the pens, final campaign rallies, taking place in iris. in north and francis as a region where support for the far right political party is very high. this riley also comes just a day off to a life television debate between the pain and her rival in this race, in man or micro, the incumbent, a centrist macro. during the debate accused the pen of being divisive. the pen says that micro has ignored the needs of ordinary people during the 5 years of his

presidency. while there's been a lot of reaction to that debate, many are saying that micro had the upper hand that he gave a more polished performance, but the pen support is here, disagree. most. whose girl cbs? i think she managed very well. she explained what she knew, some criticized her saying that she didn't know her numbers, but anyone can make up numbers or pardon me, discipline compared to 2017, she changed the tape was returned this time, micron was angry. i marine state tom ah, as marina pan arrived on stage, they was a lot of enthusiasm from supposed to see a who believe that she can be on his next. the president marilla payment spent the last 2 weeks campaigning. very hard trying to target left when voters who don't have a natural candidate in the selection, but also trying to persuade many people and frogs who are still and decided she is promising to help people to reduce the cost of living. that is a big issue in this election campaign to pharmacy jobs has promised to soon wilkins

from legal. i say he's going to the manual. michael doesn't understand ordinary people, but the he does should really give 5 more years to a president. he shrugged his shoulders in the face of mass immigration and anarchy . he's allowed, who shrugged his shoulders when we talk about crime and savagery, that tis the flesh of our citizens so well suggest that in manual micro has white and just leave it in this election race. not necessarily because folks to say that they want to vote for it, but some folks just saying that they will not bring the pen. they tell you i've seen the, the ration law mckendra will be to devise differ from the supplier. fear nothing had decided, but the race isn't british prime minister bars, johnson is said to face parliamentary investigation into the so called party game scandal. johnson has come under intense pressure after being fined for breaking his

government's pandemic restrictions with parties held at downing street. china home reports from london. the motion went through on the nord, in parliamentary, speak unopposed. not requiring a vote, triggering an inquiry into the possibility, the boris johnson lied to empties about lockdown parties in downing street and amendment aimed at covering the motion was removed on thursday morning. apparently it made government fears of a large scale rebellion by its own. m. p. 's who didn't wish to be seen as blocking parliamentary scrutiny, the head of local elections next month. instead, someone found it hard to contain their distaste. i have to say, i'm sorry for not paying for letter and spirit, and i think we have heard that the prime minister didn't know what the letter was. the prime minister now should belong. go back to speak off. certainly vote for this motion, but really the prime minister should just know to get profoundly disappointed in what happened that number 10, dining street people were bad, the let down,

my constituents feel bad the let out. i feel personally badly left out by what happened there must be consequences that follow from that. the prime minister on a visit to india said he had nothing to hide. i'm very there. let me just say i'm very keen for every possible form of scrutiny. and if the high school can do, i think whatever it wants to do at the all, i would say, i think that that should happen until the investigation is completed. and that's my only point. i said, i said this time and time again, let's get that the, the investigators do that stuff for his johnson has already been fined by the metropolitan police were attending a downing street event, his own birthday party. in fact, in breach of coke with 19 lockdown rules parliament's privileges committee made up

of 7 cross party m p. 's will begin its inquiry only after the police investigation is over. it will look at whether boris johnson deliberately misled and pays lie to them. in other words, when he said back in december that no coven 19 rules had been broken. remember, he maintains that he believed. then he had not broken any rules that defense could within. if, as expected, johnson receives up to 3 more fines for other events, among more than a 1000 under investigation, the privileges committee would have access to much of the evidence. the police have relied upon including hundreds of photographs. he is already the 1st serving prime minister to have been sanctioned by the police for breaking the law while in office . now for his johnson is set to become the 1st in recent times to be investigated for lying to parliament. finding if it comes that could force his resignation.
