most spoke, a junior support is a born into these club colors in an epic feud of rich versus poor. the fans will make football on al jazeera mm ukrainian president. luckily zalinski is expected to visit the us on wednesday. his 1st trip abroad since rushes invasion. ah hugs, and you're watching all of their life while headquarters here in doha, also coming up the taliban government bands, university education for all female students of cross afghanistan. bruce, congress votes on bringing forward elections and a bit to ease political tensions. also germany hands precious artifacts looted in

the 19th century. back to nigeria. ah welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is expected to visit us on wednesday. that would be his 1st trip overseas, since the russian invasion of february, political haine has more from washington dc. we're starting to get a better idea of what we think is going to happen tomorrow. we think that creating president vladimir, lindsey is going to meet one on one with president joe biden. this likely going to happen at the white house, have more meetings then he probably, we believe going to give a speech to a joint session of congress. that is an honor that isn't given out to very many people. and because it's the lensky, it's likely that several news organizations will carry it live. so in essence, be a live speech to the nation. most likely in prime time. we don't really understand

the timeline. we haven't gotten the details yet of the timing of why now, but it could have something to do with the fact that republicans are going to take a very slim majority in the house of representatives in the coming weeks. and they have been very vocal about say, and they want to continue a to crane, but they want to have some restrictions on it. some more ways of tracking it. although the vast majority of americans still support the military and economic aid to ukraine. a poll of republicans show when it came to military aid, just 55 percent, still agreed that that should be done. and that was down from 80 percent, members of congress, very much. the vast majority still seem on board with getting age ukraine in this bill that they have to approve to keep the government open. they are giving $45000000000.00 to crane. that's more than even president joe biden asked for. he had asked for 37000000000 in support. so coming here to speak to the members of congress to the president,

but mostly to the american people because that is the support that is going to keep congress on the president motivated. belinda herring is ukraine specialist and deputy director of the atlanta counsels eurasia center. she says zalinski security will be a key issue. it's a big deal because there are enormous security concerns. we know that the russians wanted to whack volota bear zalinski back in february. so this i, this visit had to be kept a secret. it was a secret until the 11th hour until it was no longer a secret. i think it's also significant that he's coming to washington 1st to say thank you to president biden. and he's also going to congress, so he's, i expect him to spend most of his time and energy on capitol hill because he knows that capital l hill has the most sympathy and can do the most for him. i think he's less concerned about congress than we were. you know, 33 months ago. it looks like congress is going to continue the same policies toward ukraine on, on a weapons. in particular, republicans are solid,

where republicans are not solid. and we're, i'm worried, is budget support and this is the category of money is billions of dollars. the taxpayers are giving to make sure that the ukranian states stays afloat. and that is controversial among republicans, 83 things to get ukraine through the winter. you need air defense systems, and there aren't enough air defense systems to protect a ukraine because it's such a big country. it needs airplanes. so i hope zalinski, i expect him to bring that up with president biden and say come on, would eat, eat, or airplanes in order to fight this. and also please help us with the emergency assistance to keep our electrical grid alive. we don't know how many more strikes at the system can take before it goes down. well, earlier the ukranian president paid a visit to the eastern frontline city of baltimore and presented awards to ukrainian soldiers. blackmore has had some of the heaviest fighting with russians and is now considered to be the conflicts epicenter, legal sources, told al jazeera, the russian forces and fighters from the voc,

the group of last some of their positions on the southern side of the city. control battle would give the coming to the boost in the battle for the dumbass region. yes . which is because the show me much wish i want to say that we see what remains of with a left. nothing is alive with this issue isn't just in the don bus. that is why i want to tell you here and done bus. you protect the whole of you crime because after on bus they will do all this and other cities of our country because they don't want anything ukrainian. i am 100 percent sure of us. and therefore, the protection of the whole of ukraine rests on your shoulder and not just on bus, dr. charles dot, that is in the key region and has more of the impact of recent rushing tax on energy infrastructure. this is one of more than 100 electric substations country wide across ukraine. as you can see, the level of destruction here, this particular substation has been hit in 3 separate attacks by 6 russian missiles

. the software tell us that this electrical plant supplies around $600000.00 people with electricity, those people now having to undergo an ensure rolling blackouts as this substation tries to distribute as much power as it can obviously after these attacks. what so interesting though, is that this, like many of those substations was built during the soviet era, this particular one in 1958. and that means that the russians know pretty much exactly how this grid works. an incredibly, it was only 4 hours before the invasion that the ukrainians, disconnected from the russian and belushi and electrical systems like the man see the july was the where we all feel like we're on the 1st line of energy defense. all ukrainians are looking at us with hope that we can return a light and heat into their homes. with our teams are working round the clock,

ignoring the freezing conditions. so much equipment has been destroyed and our company doesn't have enough spare parts to restore electricity to all civilians, all the time. ukraine's president followed them isn't ski on december, the 13th said, restoring the countries power grid could cost more than $1.00 point. $5000000000.00 . damage then meant a shortfall of 2.5 gigawatts, and that was before 2 more massive drone and missile bombardments targeted the country's energy infrastructure. as an example of just how well russia knows this electrical grid system. this was an electrical transformer and he's taken a direct hit. the staff here tell us that it contained 60 tons of oil and the blaze after the bloss, they say, took around 5 hours to push out the substation. and more than $100.00,

like it across the country, our own constant alert, they could be an attack at any time, the estimated cost of repairing the damage. here the stock tell us could be tens of millions of dollars. and this is just one of what the ukranian authorities say is around a 1000 kamikaze drone and miss all attacks against vital infrastructure stations like this across the country. the old taliban rulers have banned all females. students from attending universities like this government order cracking down on women's rights takes effect immediately . girls had already been banned from middle school and high school. foreign governments, including the us, have said to change in policy a women's education is needed before it could consider formerly recognizing the taliban government. while rights activists say the move shows the taliban is indifferent to international criticism. every single time the world puts

a pressure on the toilet. bon saying, do this or you haven't done this or this is not done enough. then they come around and they talk to you and they make it harder on the woman. so the woman i've got to actually have, have become, as i said, you know, they don't for them, they don't, they don't really exist. they're not human beings. they are, i don't know what they are. they don't consider them as, as they just, they just using continuous for the way they think them, they said you think because the erased the woman from the, from the society, from work from education. remember, think of a de la by here is a university lecture on the founder of the campaign. let african girls learn. he says the decision is a huge set time for women in the country. this is a recurring nightmare,

a recurring nightmare stretching over generations. the same 990 s over this is august 15th again, this is march 23rd when the band girls from going to high school all over again. we use something like this was going to happen almost 2 months ago. there were rumors going around and rumors that had a lot of a verification to it and authenticity to it that something like this was going to happen, which is why we did our campaign and, and kept going with our campaign in the point was to show the toddler, on show the world that there were going to be repercussions for such a bad to happen. but honestly, it's just, i wish i was wrong. i wish we were all wrong, and we've been sleep walking through the day and waiting for it to sink in. so we can at least figure out what to do next. and the problem isn't that, that this is

a temporary pan or a change in conditions going to occur because this excuse has been running since the ninety's. the reason women are banned from parks from, from schools, from a public bots, from jim's, even when they're segregated, is always some or another logistical. busy excuse, and time is asked for and seems like the more time we give them the worst things get. i mean, i was put into shackles a few days ago and told that my crime was campaigning for girls education. and the reason was that they were very soon going to resolve it. that's what the authorities were telling me then. and look, even those people didn't know what was going to come next. and so, i mean, yeah it's, it's time to re evaluate what we've been doing. it looks like every move done by the international community towards the taliban has only

a piece them only embolden them. and it's, it's time to discuss difficult options for all of us. cruise congress says voted in favor of a plan to bring elections forward to april 2024. and the pol has been a key demand amongst protesters following the rest of the form of present. patrick, esteem pro has seen days of violence since christie was impeached and imprisoned. this month, congress had been resisting calls to move up the vote from 2026, but present dina variety, urge them to reconsider. body unconscious has more from lima. lo makers voted 90 in favor 30 against and one abstention to bring forward elections to april of 2024. that is 2 years ahead of when the presidential mandate should and but it was a president. dina would want to be who sent this bill to congress and told lawmakers that they should listen to the people. samantha, 83 percent. approvals wanted new elections. now. lawmakers here said they hope this
