12:03 pm
on to 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, lead, 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. child strength, it has moved from kuth. that comes at a critical time in the wake of these weeks of miss arlene can because he drone strikes against ukrainians. vital energy infrastructure more than
12:04 pm
a 1000 we understand in these recent weeks. and yeah, it underscores the kind of reliance that zelinski has on weston weapons on western support in the us. in particular, we understand that this new, this new arms package is going to be announced in washington. could be another 2 worth another $2000000000.00. that's already on top of a commitment of $18500000000.00 from the u. s. a lot of focus. he's going to be on whether we're going to hear an announcement finally about these patriot missile systems that the ukrainians have been asking for for so long. this is been a hugely controversial subject, previously the by and ministration and has said no, it wouldn't be sending this kind of weaponry because it was so advanced. and there were fears. it's understood that this could be seen as an escalation by russia to
12:05 pm
afghanistan now, and the taliban has banned all female students from attending universities. the latest order cracking down on women's rights takes effect immediately. girls have already been banned from middle and high school. many countries have said a change in policy on women's education is needed before formally recognizing the taliban government rights activists say. the move shows to taliban indifference to international criticism. it was single time the wolf puts the pressure on the toilet on my saying, do this or dog or you haven't done this or this is not done enough. then they turn around and they retaliate and they and they make it harder on the woman. so the woman of have janice on actually have, have become as i said, you know, they're gone for them. they don't, they don't really exist. they are not human beings. they are, i don't know what they are. they don't consider them as, as you know, they just, they just are using continuous but the way they think had to them than they
12:06 pm
are using because the never erased the woman from the, from the society for work from education for member think from life or by della bye, here is a university lecturer and the founder of the campaign that led to afghan girls learn. he says the decision is a huge setback 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 toilet on show the
12:07 pm
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 bond 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 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
12:08 pm
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 by the international community towards the taliban has only appeased them, only emboldened them. and it's time to discuss difficult options for all of us. peruse. congress is voted to bring forward elections to april 2024. and eli poll is one of the participants demands following at the arrest or former president pet jury, because fear through has seen widespread demonstrations and violence since christine was impeached and imprisoned. 2 weeks ago, congress had been resisting colds to bring forward the election, signed for 2026, but president venus was a urged lawmakers to reconsider. mariana sanchez has moved from lima. law makers
