needs the u. s. congress to give him more money on the bottom line is, is the white house can control policy, but it doesn't control the purse strings. so in order for the u. s. president, to get what he needs, he and that is, he wants to give more to ukraine. he needs the permission of the congress to do it . and so that's what he's going to be talking about. we're getting a better sense now to of what that's going to look like. we're hearing that according to some of our sources, that the president is about to ask congress for about 30 or a $1000000000.00 in terms of military assistance. in fact, that could be even as high as 33000000000, and it will look like the bulk of it 20000000000 going for weapons assistance. another 3000000000 to help refugees. and then another 8 and a half 1000000000 to essentially allow the ukranian government to keep running in order to function and help the people that are trying to survive and defend their

country. so that's the 1st part of what we expect to you as president talked about . but we also expect, and this is something you touched on, and to hear from you as president about how he was to continue to try and disable vladimir putin's war machine. if you will, in this evasion of ukraine, and a lot of that has to do with the oligarchy that have a very close relationship with vladimir putin. we've already seen the united states going after many of those russian oligarchy says, sanctioning and seizing some of their property. now we're, we're to hear a little bit more about how the united states will sort of codify that mechanism. and so that this can continue in the future and continue to finance the effort to help ukraine. and so that's really what the u. s. press is going to talk about in the next hour. all right, we'll cross back through the later. thank you. kimberly. okay. our white house correspondent, ah,

there also seems to be moved within the opposition parties to do 2 things. one to bring a no confidence motion against the government. that would be passed by a simple majority. the other option is also to bring in sort of constitutional reform. the president and the prime minister have made that of noises about willing to being willing to accept these. but at the end of the day, nothing much has moved. stella had on al jazeera tension is rising, and a breakaway region of moldova were at the border as ukraine and russia. blame each other for a series of attacks. the largest exodus of cubans this century is taking place. i'm lucy and human in havana, cuba and coming up i'll explain why and how ah, to which will bring some big down pause in sliding out of the east on a c q. she thinks a very heavy rain for pushing across southern parts of honju,
