football field do not have grass, but soil, just like that one that you can see right here we've been talking to some of the children that live in this place and they fate that they would love to follow the steps of you and l. matthew, be mighty. yeah. and other members of the national tea ah, ukraine's president is set to visit the white house on wednesday. his 1st trip abroad since russia invaded. ah, you're watching alt, is there a lie for my headquarters in ohio? dead enough grades are also coming up this year. i almost wish about about the summer afghan fan. all students speak out against the taliban decision to ban them

from attending universities. another strike action in the u. k. of it's affecting hospitals on medical facilities across the country. parts of malaysia underwater as heavy floods the country's east coast, forcing more than 60000 people from their homes. ah. hello 1600 hours g m t. that's 11. am in washington dc in a few hours from now ukraine's leader will land in the u. s. capital to meet president joe biden, and his 1st trip abroad since russia's invasion in february follow the resolutions k posted on twitter that he hopes his visit will strengthen. ukraine's resilience on defense capabilities is due to address congress and hold several bilateral meetings. washington has been keith's biggest supporter and it's fight back against the russians. alan treasures joining us from washington dc. so timing is important to carolyn isn't says when the republican house are going to take control in

a couple of weeks. thus, ryan is exactly $300.00 days since russia launched his invasion of ukraine. this visit being described as significant symbolic and important ludovic zaleski, will be here. and just over a few hours time, he will have a meeting with joe biden. the in the oval office and then we'll meet at jo by does national security team. now he arrives here with a shopping list. he's not going to leave with everything that he would like to get as far as the americans are concerned. they're not going to provide weapons that would really change the position that they've taken in that they are providing and material that the ukrainians can use to defend themselves. but he will leave with the patriot missile, says them that that's something that people having talking about for the last few weeks, it will be announced here. all of this coming just since the meeting between the 2 presidents over the phone on december the 8th and the invitation was extended

exactly a week ago, accepted by the ukrainians and 2 days later last friday. and then confound by them on sunday. all the plans made from ludovic zalinski to come here to the united states to come to the white house. and importantly, to go to congress that he's going there to thank the americans for all the support they've given. we're talking billions of dollars in support in humanitarian economic and military aid. but he wants to make sure that that support is going to continue because there is a question mark over. remember that the republicans take over control of congress on january, the 3rd, some of them were elected saying that it's time to perhaps turn off the top to ukraine. that led to some concerned with many people here in a washington dc. so they want to make sure that he puts forward the case to continue the fight against the russians. i continued to put forward the case that the americans are heavily in bed. sit in this, though,

the white house says this isn't a message just to republicans. this is a message to vladimir putin and the world that the support for vladimir zalinski and the ukrainians is broad deep. i bipartisan but vladimir zalinski ordeal. zalinski also wants the world to know that while he's fighting the russians, he doesn't want to fight his greatest ally, america in asking for more money to help continue that fight. i thank you so much. alan fisher reporting from the white house. well, president the lens, his trip comes as the russian leader vladimir putin has in meeting senior defense officials who's in said there are no financial limits on what his government would provide to the military. he's also approved the proposal to increase the strength of the armed forces by 30 percent. the kremlin says there is no chance a peace talks with ukraine as long as western country is continued to supply it with arms. so as the landscape trip comes on the same day that the russian president has a meeting, his top military officials to discuss the results of the war and ukraine so far

will release you, you buoy he was murdered in our army and military capabilities are increasing the young constantly every day, this process will it make no mistake will not be sped up. we al zera's amine dummy has more on the kremlin reaction to president zalinski. his visit to the u. s. i'm for lucky, the kind of to not go to little try le ontario. i must go, reacted to the announcement with a statement from the kremlin spokesperson, he said, russia is not expecting any positive results from valencia's visit to the united states yet. i also added that providing more weapons to ukraine will prolong the conflict of also the spokesperson also added the russia's position remains the same biase condemning the united nations to port to ukraine, particularly with weapons which might result in a direct confrontation with moscow. m. o f. regarding van mi, uprooting meeting with leaders and commander of the defense ministry, he focused on the so called special operation in ukraine. and they discussed the

results of the conflict. wouldn't accuse nato and the united states in particular, of trying to weaken russia through the prolonged conflict in the ukraine yet. why wouldn't said most i will do its best to increase its military capability. when also added moscow is ready with nuclear matter in order to maintain the stability of russia. so the united states has been the largest provider, if aid to ukraine since the war began almost a year ago since january 2022, the u. s. has provided nearly $50000000000.00 in assistance to ukraine. the largest contribution has been made through a more than $20000000000.00 than military supports over $15000000.00 of financial support in the form of loans and aid through the economic support funds. and finally, her own 10000000000 dollars and humanitarian aid, meaning emergency food and health care assistance, as well as refugee supports joining us here in the hospital and the shadow. he's al jazeera senior political analyst, summer won a president landscape,

going to the us with a shopping list of sorts. he probably won't get everything that he's off for, but do you expect any surprises? well, certainly just to get the things that we've been reported widely as such as the defense system out and the 1800000000 extra aid, apparently it will go through congress if he just gets that for the time being gets more than enough. more than enough, relatively so because health is not coming from anywhere else really. i mean the european is, are tripping in, but nothing in comparison to the united states. clearly the united states is the patron is the sponsor of ukraine in this war. and that, by the way, we'll probably be echoing in moscow in a certain negative way, in the sense that we russians, they would say we're not just fighting ukraine, we're fighting the united states in the west because we are fighting west and armaments. and we're fighting western supported forces. we are fighting western

financed regime in cave. so i think the visit might have certain advantages for zalinski, but i think back in russia, the idea that the united states is behind this war is clearly going to be underlined how significant this landscape is also planning on addressing congress when we know that there has been some pushback from some republicans, especially recently on how much aid the u. s. is actually giving to ukraine. i think that's why this has been rushed in in december because republicans will probably be in charge in the lower house in the house of representative by january 3rd. so i think the idea of this is that this is happening now has something to do with american politics. now that nancy pelosi. busy is still the speaker of the house means that as the rescue is going to get the uploads he's hoping for it, he's going to get a lot of upload. i bought a applauds and i think they themselves,

they, in congress, they're going to be very happy with themselves and putting themselves on the back for really re entering a cold war of sort. right. it's a bit sad that way, but democrats are happy being sort of the intervention as internationalists, if you will, the republicans are not, or some of that pump because i'm not, i'm not as happy, and they certainly don't want to see a lot of aid going in financial aid to ukraine, they think we should be spent at home. so i think the timing is important in terms of american politics. but as you and i spoke earlier, probably the most important thing for the landscape. the idea that put in is weaponized winter is the idea that now that we are coming into a cold or time when a lot of ukrainian cities can even heat up their homes. that there's a lot of pressure to be apply. then as we probably going to expecting some sort of offensive military or offensive, and i think since you will need all the help he can get from the united states and from the united states. we touched upon this just a few moments ago,

but to what extent has joe biden put the war in ukraine at the center of his foreign policy? and why? absolutely not come in when he said, when he 1st came into office, that america is back. we're going to be showing up american influence on the world . we're going to have to get involved again. and there are these 2 nemesis, major challenges coming from moscow on bay gene and. and we got to need to catch up and we need to prove that we are there. and reagan not going to leave any void for any of them to fill. right. so we have all of that. and then, in my opinion, as an analyst, shortsighted li, putting gave him everything he wants on a silver platter. why invading ukraine? now, of course, said that we have a new crane because the americans and europeans wanted to expand nato to the ukraine. and they have been interfering in our elections and in the elections next

door and so on, so forth. and has we had to intervene while, of course, according to the national law. this was an illegal war as a present the war, new brain, and whatever explanation put in has to do with the west meddling in ukraine. a 3rd of course, does not wash, but certainly by didn't jump on the opportunity provided by put in re launched nato. that was basically falling apart by the sideway re invigorated the europeans in some form or another. and clearly now with the united states, stands at the helm all a western alliance. and i just looked by the way, at the new pentagon bill that's going to go almost close to $900000000000.00. that's close to a trillion dollars furnishing and not not. and that's just not the united states. according to forbes, the world will be spending $2200000.00 on arguments. i know this is not our subject,

but i think all the important issues like poverty, life, climate change. i think a lot of them are sideline because of the water nuclear. okay. moran. thank you so much. that's my mom. the shadow protests have been held in some cities and have gone is done against the taliban decision to ban women from universities. almost almost demonstrations in general about incredible people held signs, pledging solidarity with female students girls have already been banned from middle and high school. earlier this month, the taliban allowed girls to write university entrance exams. even though many of them had missed months of classes under the ban. let the come on. i've been there because when i got close to the university, i saw something strange taliban hum. these were parked at the entrance gate and the taliban, where behaving so badly turning a return to your homes. goals have no right to study any more. the situation has

a very bad effect on every female student. i heard this news today and i felt such horrible thing. i tore up on my notebook. this is not a way for us to live in the taliban and not allowing us to continue our study. i came to the university to enroll, but they did not allow me and i cannot express my feelings. no one can understand. i don't get mad. i saw what they got. that was a high school, but he just once again, university is banned. for women, we don't want to be raised. it's shameful that the international community, the united nations and human rights groups choose to remain silent. hold on crohn as an analyst, specializing an issues around the taliban. he explains the taliban orange. united on women's education got into the division. it's within the last minute it would make what she had to be with the us and doha, have got the,

the women you specially, you might know about the next day, what gording that is being an educator and it's complexity, what men and women have and in the same way that i could have the different minister who get the one that was in the living by the hardliners prime minister, pamela hudson, because there's only 5 people. what management team? 91, we have our own big data. national community is not accepting us, not, i think us, so we are not. we are not ready. what is the,

what it's getting that they believe it does not. what is not on. so the only, and we will on may still ahead on al jazeera. well, how the latest from peru is president the you know, the work is a big cabinet reshuffled and the challenges facing the incoming is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu as he tries to form a coalition government ah, off we go with your weather update for asia very nice disuse, starting in the bay had been gone, where we've got this disturbance just swab a round. it is feeding some sundry outbreaks of rain to shank over the next few days. but it's really just going to stall out in this area now for the northwest of india,

we'll call it russia star state to west bank. all those fog alerts are still in play visibility at times is nil. okay, bit of a breather. through southern thailand, the rain has stopped for now, but still keeping those extreme flight advisories in play around sebu city because of how intense the ne monsoon has been. so while it's a bit of a breather for a southern thailand, the rain is still coming out to 4 k l and then feeds the persistent rain rate across into an easy as main island of java through bali and one bulk as while on thursday called her air is punching across eastern china, so shanghai 6 degrees. and when we get this set up, that colder air dipping out of siberia, mongolia, i've given us some c effects, snow for japan as it comes across those warmer waters. dumping out all that moisture in some spots about 7 to 8 feet of snow still repeat on thursday, and it's going to be a washout in tokyo. but as the day progresses, things will improve pets or weather. we'll see later take care the

calling attention to any quality pollution and extra dimensional killing. in kenya's low income communities fight, one brother was killed by police. they don't have that dog we say, but they want to do one date, an organizer on the rapper and tell all these people from the guns. for me it's impossible to have someone in the bus that he brought in. generation change, can you change is coming, is no doubt about it on a just either. oh, a hello. we got headlines on al jazeera,

but also these much smaller parties way over on the fringes of the very edges of the political spectrum at the right wing of the political spectrum of people who were considered to be on the verge of politics. now finally, they have with a few see, teach great influence over the formation of this coalition. and they have been using that exerting pressure on natural yahoo to demand various ministries and so on. in addition to that, demanding special extra powers for the ministries that they have been promised, which have meant that netanyahu has, has to push through various bits of legislation in the connected to make all of this happen. now it does seem as though he has now a 10 day extension which runs out today. wednesday. it is expected that by be well before midnight. he will be able to make that all important phone call to isaac hurts. are the president to say yes he does have in place is coalition and a will then have 7 days for the formal swearing in. but we do know from the makeup of this extraordinary government, that this will be the most,

a suspected stroke or chest pains. those calls are going to be tree arched, which means that an assessment will essentially be made on the phone about how serious that situation is. and if it's not deemed sufficiently serious, then there won't be an ambulance dispatched. so an h. s. chief the saying that they cannot guarantee patient safety for the next 24 hours. consequently, there is advice being given to people in england and wales at the moment about the kinds of things i shouldn't do. that sort of engage in risky things like contact sport, don't go out and get particularly drunk. there are 8 out of 10 ambulance services in the, in england at the moment, which have declared critical incidence. now that's the sort of administrative thing, which means that they can ask for help from, for example, the army to come in and take over some of those jobs. the gamblers, government as it stops a crew attempt,

released. it's report. patty, go ahead and take a look at what we've learned so far. ah, on the day this shocked the country and the world in unheard of breach of the u. s . capital building attacked by a violent mob of americans. how did this happen? and who is responsible? that is what the january 6th committee set out to find out all of us here today. focusing mostly on former president donald trump, who called his supporters to washington and sent them to the capital, saying he would go with them. we fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. ah, he said the election was stolen, but in testimony before the committee, it was clear, he was told repeatedly, he lost the election, telling aids he didn't want people to know. he lost without objections, but what the committee made the clearest it never before seen video. how bad the violence was, how close the country came to seen its elected leaders,

attacked or principally killed. several senators told to run from the mob they were walking right into. then this moment officer eugene goodman, lured the mob up the stairs. if they had turned right and walked just a matter of meters, they'd likely would have found an unlocked door with senators inside there when we saw how close members of the house came to the mouth making their way to the last possible escape. the intersections breached the window and a protester were shot and killed trying to get to them. we now know how close to vice president mike pence came to coming face to face with those calling for him to be hung only 12 meters. and the committee said, trump knew that his supporters were armed that day, frustrated that so many couldn't come to the rally because secret service was using metal detectors. i don't, i think her that they have weapons down here to hurt me. take that thing mags away

. and weapons, the committee, her testimony, the trump, himself, wanted to go to the capital, lunging for the wheel and had a secret service agent who refused. but there are several things. the committee has not answered yet. why did it take so long to get approval for the national guard to be deployed? gunner, i don't. the mill with who had been approach congressional leaders that were able to be moved to a safe location by capital police. made frantic calls that went unanswered for hours. we up to the committee, produced evidence. the trump's inner circle, knew something was going to happen. people like rudy giuliani, i remember looking at him saying, rudy, could you explain what's, what's happening on the sex up. he and he had some responded something to the effect of we're going to the capital going to be crate. the present is going to be there. he's going to a powerful he's, he's going to get the members, he's going to be with the senators. but what we still don't have hard evidence on. if this was a planned coordinated attack, the committee voted unanimously to refer to the justice department for criminal

charges against the former president. but they've already been looking into this. there's a special prosecutor that's been appointed. a grand jury in washington has been hearing testimony that will likely determine if in fact the attack here on the capitol was planned. and if so, who will? hey, the price for it. particle haine al jazeera washington. ah, hello again. the headlines on al jazeera ukraine's president anna is on his way to the u. s. for talks of president joe biden. it's his 1st known trip abroad since russia's invasion and treachery, villarreal zalinski will also address congress on hold several bilateral meetings. alan fisher has more of a washington d. c. the 2 preston spoke on december. the 11th. at that point there was discussions about the possibility of present zalesky coming to washington d. c. the official invitation was issued last.
