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 showed 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

7:04 am
and where i'm worried is budget support. and this is the category of money. it's billions of dollars the tax payers are giving to make sure that the ukranian state days afloat. and that is controversial among republican. you 3 things to get you create through the winter. you need air defense systems and there aren't enough air defense systems to, to protect the ukraine because it's such a big country and he's airplanes. so i hope bill and i expect him to bring that up with president biden and they come on for airplane 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 the system can take before it goes down. there, the ukrainian president paid a visit to the eastern front lines, city of presented awards to ukrainian soldiers. the butler has had some of the heaviest fighting with russians, and is now considered to be the conflict epi center, local sources told out there that russian forces i'm fighters from the walk in a group of last some of their positions on the southern side of the city control

7:06 am
people with electricity, those people now having to undergo and ensure rolling blackouts as they substation tries to distribute as much power as it can obviously after these attacks. what's 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. and incredibly, it was only 4 hours before the invasion that the ukrainians, disconnected from the russian and bell russian electrical systems like them will see, the july was the where we all feel like we are in the 1st line of energy defense. all ukrainians are looking at us with hope that we can return a light and heating to their homes. with our teams are working round the clock, ignoring the freezing conditions. so much equipment has been destroyed and our
7:07 am
company doesn't have enough spare parts to restore electricity to all civilians. all the time. ukraine's president followed him is zalinski. on december, the 13th said, restoring the country's 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 miss all bombardments targeted the countries 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 16 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,
7:08 am
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. well, i've got his own taliban rulers have banned all female students from attending universities. the latest government order cracking donald women's rights takes effect immediately. girls have already been done for middle schools and high schools. foreign governments, including the u. s. has had a change in policy on women's education is needed before it can consider formally recognizing the taliban government rights activist. say the move shows the taliban indifference to international criticism. every single time the world puts a pressure on the telephone saying, do this or you haven't done this, or this is not done enough. then to turn around and david talk to you and they,
7:09 am
and they make it harder on the woman. so the women have ganesh 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 much as they just they just using that continuous for the way they think them them. do you think because the erased the woman from the, from the society, from work from education. remember, think of a de la hayes university. electra and the founder of the campaign, let africa girls learn. he says the decision is a huge set back for women in the country. is a recurring nightmare recurring nightmare stretching over generations. the same 990 s over this is august 15th again, this is march 23rd. when they ban girls from going to high school over again,
7:10 am
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 verification to it and authenticity to it that something like this was going to happen, which is why we did our campaign and kept going with our campaign in the point was to show the toddler, bon show the world that there were going to be repercussions for such a baton 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 done 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,
7:11 am
from public, bob's from jim's, even when they're segregated, is always come or another logistical 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. so, i mean, yeah, it's, it's time to reevaluate what we've been doing. it looks like every move done by the international community towards the tyler bond has only appeased them, only embolden them. and it's, it's time to discuss difficult options for all of us. please congress as aged in favor of plan to bring elections forward to april 2024. and then the poll has been
