6:04 am
what should they do? dr. lisa was only 4 years old. she is no longer with us. here is the stroller, dorm, ukraine's 1st lady. only nissan sca had a simple message. the u. s. can help more ukrainian survive by sending more air defense systems. yet as per shooty chick, we have new coil in the curricula received him weapons that would not be used to wage a war on somebody else's land. but to protect one's home in the right to wake up alive in that home. i'm asking for air defense systems in order for our kids not to be killed and not to kill children in their strollers. in order for august not to destroy children's roles and kill entire families. the u. s. has promised to supply ukraine medium range air defense systems. but so far has only promised 2 of the national advanced surface to air missile systems. that's not nearly enough to cover a country. the size of ukraine at the pentagon promised to send for more high mars

rocket launcher systems that ukraine has used to target russian ammunition depots and command control centers. deep behind the front lines that brings the total from the us to 16. and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff played down rushes game so far. so for 90 days the russian advances have amounted to maybe 6 to 10 miles. something in that range is not very much. oh, it's very intense, lot of violence. tens of thousands of artillery rounds or every 24 hour period, a lots of casualties on both sides. the bind administration is expected to announce the weapons it'll be sent into ukraine on for zalinski, had a chance to speak with president joe biden this week, so soon find out. if her personal plea was enough to get her country the weapons, she says they desperately need paddling al jazeera on capitol hill years president joe biden's announced a $2300000000.00 investment plan to help build infrastructure that can hold up
6:06 am
against extreme weather and natural disasters heat allowed, so been issued in more than 20 states, affecting around a 3rd of the country's population. but joe biden did not formally declare a climate emergency and that would have given him more powers. my connor reports the presidents being taking the heat from fellow democrats who insist he's not doing an up to combat climate change. and they were disappointed with no announcement of a climate emergency or executive action. only a repetition of the threat that he'll take action if congress doesn't. this is an emergency, an emergency, and i will, i will look at it that way. i said last week, say it again loud and clear as president. i use my executive power to combat climate, the climate crisis in the absence or congressional action. the problem in congress essentially lies in the senate, in particular, one of the president's own party, jo mansion who's pulled out of negotiations over climate legislation. given the
6:07 am
senate's 5050 split, this means unless some republicans break party ranks. any legislation will simply not pass because of, you know, one senator in particular, joe mentioned who gets more money from the oil and gas industry than virtually any other sen. by didn't, he is blocking biden's legislation in the senate so that fight and cannot enact his climate agenda there. the site of the president's speech was carefully chosen. the brighton point paula station was labelled one of the full fi, 5 industrial polluters in the past. but the coal fired plant was decommissioned 5 years ago and it's now set to become part of a massive, offshore wind power project that could generate a significant amount of green energy. and the president listed what he views as his administration successors, including the most recent. today, we began the process to develop wind power in the gulf of mexico as well from the
6:08 am
1st time, a real opportunity to power millions of additional homes from when. but this will not be enough for the president's critics to continue to call for stronger executive action. president biden has the power to declare a, an emergency which could assist his administration in limiting the activities of fossil fuel industries on federal lands. but this in turn, could lead to the administration being involved in long drawn out battles in the courts. the president has confirmed his administration's message, that executive action remains on the table. but while the delay in execution continues, there's a real danger that this could become another perceived bite and failure that voters would note at the midterm poles. my cana al jazeera washington or lisa dillings, a professor environmental studies at the university of colorado boulder. and she's
6:09 am
joining us live from, thereby assume i'm good to have you with us on al jazeera. you think it would make a difference if joe biden had decided to declare this climate emergency officially? well, it's hard to know exactly what it would have meant if he would have declared a climate emergency. and certainly many of us feel that it is at some level a climate, you know, an emergency. but it's makes a difference when the federal government declares an emergency that tends to put all kinds of different powers into effect. so i'm not sure exactly how we would have interpreted that, or his ministration would have interpreted that. but certainly it would have definitely provoked a lot of different responses for sure. so it would definitely have made a difference of some sort. but it's hard again to know how that would have played out in reality. but you understanding of where this $2300000000.00 is going to be spent?
6:10 am
i believe it's going to be spent mostly for helping low income people. i deal with the extreme heat that we have you. i know you all are experiencing a we have been experiencing here as well, in different places in the country, especially going towards helping people, whether rise their homes, you know, become more heat resistant, maybe by air conditioners, and also to construct things like cooling centers, which are places that people who don't have cooling at home can go to an extreme heat. so those are actions that are really important. of course, as we're dealing now with the impacts of climate change rolling out, it does sound a little bit as though the, the policy has changed somewhat rather than dealing with the actual causes of climate change than are trying to pay for mitigating the, the, the results of it, and do you think that that's means that the administration is essentially pivoting a wave on a more permanent basis from actually taking on oil, coal, gas and old as my kind of was talking about in his report,
6:11 am
all the potential legal problems that that would get the administration into well, this definitely again does you're exactly right that it does not deal with the emissions themselves. these are all actions that by the prison binding has announced to day are really to do with the impacts and to, to build resilience to the impacts of climate change. it does not address the fundamental cause of that is you know, emissions as you mentioned from coal, oil and gas and other fossil fuels. and, and so that is, that is an issue. and i, i think that certainly this is not the announcement that people were hoping for today. and it does seem like a going a different direction. i'm not sure if he has anything else of his sleeve as it were to go for the emissions side of it. in terms of legislation with the congress and in conjunction with the congress. however, the administration does have
6:12 am
a lot of power in the area of things like regulating or improving transmission lines which are desperately needed right now. as we build more renewable energy. there are many projects actually waiting in the queue. they've been waiting for 2 or 3 years in some cases. and there simply aren't the power lines out there to put those projects onto that. the power that his administration has right now to go and try to accelerate the deployment and the approval of transmission lines and fighting and so forth. so there are things that he, i believe is still going to try to do in his administration. but certainly this was not the announcement of fundamental new legislation that you know, what do you know today was definitely not to do with the emissions themselves. really good to get your thoughts on this lisa dealing. we appreciate you being on al jazeera and i'm thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you so much. thank you for having me. stella had on al jazeera on the brink of collapse. why on?
6:13 am
why italy's government looks likely to fall and the 2022 for a while. it kicks off and cut out in exactly 4 months to millions. hope they're going to make it out of the group stages. this time. ah, now texans a used to the heat. he has a story in texas and in the north has been hitting or even breaking records that he's been spreading again to the north and to the east. and you've seen at least twice with late spring. and so he go right up to the central part of canada. it's not quite that by the moment, but it's there again, heat wise, we're up in the high cities in washington. new york's a to this is a humid heat as well, but it's on the west coast is a different story because you have this client running down through the california
6:14 am
coast. marie is very often feels dull, at least in the morning. that's true for san francisco. then contrast that with the monsoon shares the status of the breakout in the southwestern part of the us every year. so they develop late in the day and they relieve bit of the heat and produce may be flash flooding. otherwise you get used to some showers building the biggest ones like to be in the southern states. again, they sometimes bring relief to the heat. sometimes they might do a bit of that in toronto down to 29, but take a while to get to the east coast of the us. the biggest rain likely for the sas ground, the caribbean. gulf mixer is beyond that is costa rica and panama. although the lights are all small, rollins will see a few shares wednesday early thursday. that looks pretty heavy rain once again in santo domingo. hotel is the o tell that i've ever stated in the biggest box you have ever seen. how did it

we should be a little bit cynical because we can't do anything. officials you say that since the start of the fire season on may 1st, there have been already nearly 2500 wildfires. the main obstacles for firefighters, not the high temperature, but the strong winds, which keep changing direction, starting new fires more than 90000 people have been evacuated so far from areas near the capitol. and the hardest part of the summer is still to come. this small, quiet town of and through south home to a few 1000 people, has already witnessed the wrath of the fires this year. while these homes have been spared across the valley, the damage is clear. the athens fire chief says his crews priorities to safeguard human life. something they've managed to do so far. greece is asking other european nations for help to get through the fire season, which officially last until the end of october. dorset jabari al jazeera and
