8:01 am
tensions, and concerns over the fate of migrants trying to cross into the u. s. as the supreme court keeps a temporary bam in place. ah, welcome to the program ukrainian president ultimate zalinski is expected to visit us on wednesday. it would be his 1st overseas trip since the russian invasion in february. article haine has the story from washington d. c. we think that you create a president vladimir, the volunteer is going to meet one on one with president joe biden. this, like we're 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 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
8:02 am
the timeline. we haven't gotten the details yet or 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 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 seeing on board was getting age ukraine in this bill that they have to approve to keep the government open. they are given $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
8:03 am
congress and the president motivated. belinda, having is the ukraine specialist on deputy director of the atlantic councils eurasia center. she says lensky security will be a top priority. it's a big deal because there are enormous security concerns. we know that the russians wanted to wax a little variable in ski back in february. so this, 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, i put him to spend most of the time and energy on capitol hill because he knows that capitol 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 looked like congress is going to continue the same policies toward ukraine on, on weapons. and particular republicans are solid,
8:04 am
where republicans are not solid. and where i'm worried is budget support. and this is the category of money is 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 created through the winter. you need air defense systems and there aren't enough air defense systems to, to protect ukraine because it's such a big country and he's airplane. so i hope i expect him to bring that up with president biden. and they come on, we, we need 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 war strikes the system can take before it goes down. there the ukranian president paid a visit to the eastern frontline city of buffalo, 10 presented awards to ukrainian soldiers. about motels had some of the heavy is fighting with russians and is now considered to be the conflicts at the center. local sources told out there that russian forces and fighters from the walk, the group lost some of that positions on the southern side of the city control. but
8:05 am
look, will give the criminal boost and the battle for the dom bath region. yeah. which is because the show moves i'm and i wish i want to say that we see what remains of with a lift. 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 zocker. charles stafford is in the key region and has more the impact of recent russian attacks on energy infrastructure. this is one of more than 100 electric substations country wide across ukraine. and 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
8:06 am
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. and incredibly, it was only 4 hours before the invasion that the ukrainians, disconnected from the russian and belushi and electrical systems was like the man 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 heat into their homes. with our teams are working round the clock,
8:07 am
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 valona zalinski on december, the 13th said, restoring the country's power grid could cost more than $1500000000.00. 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 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,
8:08 am
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 ukrainian authorities say is around a 1000 kamikaze drone and miss sol attacks against vital infrastructure stations like this across the country. ah, i've got to know taliban rulers have banned all female students from attending universities. the latest government order cracking down on women's rights takes effect immediately. girls already been banned from middle and high schools. foreign governments including the u. s. a. set a change in policy on women's education is needed before it can sort of formally recognizing the taliban government or rights activist say the move shows the talents indifference to international criticism every single time the world puts
8:09 am
the pressure on the call upon saying do this or you haven't done this or this is not done enough. then they come around and david talk to you and they, 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 they just they just using that 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 like a better lover here is a university. electra, the founder of the campaign, let africa girls learn. he says the decision is a huge set back for women in the country. this is a recurring nightmare, a recurring nightmares stretching over generations of the same 990 s over this is
8:10 am
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, an 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 taliban and show the world that there were going to be repercussions for such a band 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
8:11 am
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 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 appeased them, only embolden them. and it's,
8:12 am
