ah, meets the minimum is a toughest couple. and the daughter decided to quit the rock race hoping to live better with less. let's just throw everything away out there will expose the simple living movement aimed at reducing personal consumption credit. and plus, i think, i hope to be happier as a result. a simple life on al jazeera ah al jazeera with united states is committed to ensuring that the brave ukrainian people can continue,

continue to defend their country against russian aggression. joe biden promises continued support to ukrainians during followed america. lensky is visit to the us . ah, i'm how much of room mrs. algebra live from door. ha. also coming up. a defiant stand against the taliban. a group of women protest against the ban on female students at universities. a major cabinet reshuffle and peru as the president tries to find a way out of a political crisis. and a colorful glow. how the pink iguana is making a comeback on the galapagos islands. ukraine is getting a significant boost to its air defenses in its war with russia. a new $1800000000.00

assistance package announced by u. s. president joe biden will include patriot missiles, speaking alongside ukraine's president volota mars. lensky biden says, the u. s. will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes its zelinski, his 1st trip abroad since russia's invasion in february. my message, i wish you peace. i think that is the main thing. and you understand it only wound the war in your country. when somebody like these terrorist from russia come to your house, it's, we really fight for our common victory against this tyranny. that israel life. and we will win the package will include a patriot missile battery, which will and one which will train ukrainian forces operate as part of the ongoing effort tell, bolster ukraine's air defense. scott,

take some time to complete the necessary training. reza pedro very will be another critical asset for ukraine as a defend itself against russian aggression. all right, let's go now to my cana, who's at capitol hill, where president zalinski will be addressing congress mike, clearly by making this visit presidents zalinski seeks to remind the us that he needs it's support in that press conference earlier. president biden stated pretty emphatically that ukraine will continue to have us support. right? yes indeed, he did her to it or message also came from the bi partisan leaders in congress. the as senate majority leader, the senate minority leader, both saying exactly the same thing that ukraine can continue to expect. full us support. and that's ongoing war against russia. that being said, though, there is a transition of power here in congress. but republicans will be taking over control of the house on january the 3rd. and that may have an impact on the situation

regarding funding for ukraine. the reason for that, they are a minority of members within the republican party on the far right wing, who are completely opposed to continuing to fan ukraine. their claim that it is america 1st. now they are a very small number. however, their influence is far disproportionate. to the actual size, and they could impact it, for example, on the leadership race. so who's going to be the house speaker? and they may well campaign on the issue of continuing to fund ukraine. so that is an element within congress that is opposed to this funding. a very, very small one indeed. and what you are likely to see is a rapturous welcome for prisons lensky when he enters the chamber here. and my presence zalinski is scheduled to address the u. s congress later this hour. what do we expect him to say? for we came to get the message that he, once the aide to ukraine,

to continue despite the political changes within congress itself, the can republicans taking over. but he may be asking for a little bit more. he may be asking for congress to maintain pressure on the administration to start giving ukraine the weapons that he really needs. for example, a long distance marseilles, at which the bite and administration is adamant they will not provide at this particular time because they fear it could escalate the conflict. so he will be making the direct plea to congress to maintain that assistance to ukraine, goes on uninterrupted, that it may even be increased. and what one must remember too, is that there's a massive omnibus bull in congress at the moment, which includes more than $40000000000.00, full ukrainian aid. so that is something that congress is deciding on imminently. and above all, what vladimir lensky evolved, amir lensky. well knows, well, is that it's congress that controls the purse strings of america. all right,

that sounds 0. my can a why for us from capitol hill? thanks so much for breaking it all down for us. mike. as we heard the u. s. military aid package to ukraine will include the highly sophisticated patriot air defense system or defense editor alex topple, as has more on how effective the weapons are. the patriot air defense system is 40 years old, but has constantly been improved over the years and is designed to protect vital cities and air bases. the latest version can detect incoming crews and ballistic missiles, up to a 150 kilometers away. the advanced intercept to missiles once launched in the right direction, or then able to guide themselves to hit oncoming aircraft or missiles. well that's the idea anyway. is records being patchy when used during the gulf war in 1991. the failure rate was found afterwards to be between 60 and 95 percent, but it still sold to us allies in the gulf like co 8 saudi arabia, the u. e and cutter. i recently as 2017. the saudi armed forces were reporting

regular fe is against iranian design, missiles, norris by huffy rebels in yemen. despite these failures, the information received on these missiles has allowed the manufacturers to improve the patriot into an effective air defense missile system. this information will be especially valuable as russian missile inventories, one low in the warned ukraine. and russia increasingly relies on a rainy and built drones and short range missiles. will the pottery make a difference to the war unlikely? the u. s. has few patrick batteries to spare, and the cost of each miss are fired. is $4000000.00 compared with 250004 russian cruise missile, and $50000.00 for iranian dro. the arrival of the portrait is more about showing political support for ukraine than it will be about defending the country. the patriot missiles are the latest foreign support offered to ukraine. the kyle institute tracker,

the record support from foreign government shows the european union is the biggest owner in total. it's given almost $55000000000.00 to ukraine. the u. s. has committed the most funding from a single nation for arms, weapons, and other equipment. $50700000000.00. more than 24000000000 of that is from military support. 10.5000000000 is for humanitarian needs. the 2nd biggest donor country, the united kingdom has pledge just over $7500000000.00. while canada has given about 4000000000. franklin, which is a military analyst at the university of portsmouth. he says, the patriot missiles that ukraine will receive won't be enough to repel russia's attacks page. it is a step change in capability, but the challenge for the ukrainians is that it does not particularly represent step changing capacity. in other words, picture it can do a lot more, a can shift our ballistic missiles. and i think over the next few months, ukraine is going to have serious problems with the iranian ballistic mas as it

looks as if the russians are going to buy. but the trouble is they won't be able to shoot down very many. this is one battery, 8 launchers could fire 32 missiles in a salva ukraine needs dozens of these batteries to provide national cover. so capability, yes, far increased capacity no. on the other hand, though, the sophistication of the system represents a level of confidence. i think the americans display in new credit that they had hitherto haven't displayed. and it may well be that this is a, a sort of loss leader if you like, for other more significant capabilities that may be coming over the next few months, such as the, such as tax infantry fighting vehicles and other things that the ukrainians have specifically requested and will certainly be requesting today. president zelinski is trip comes as russian liter vladimir putin vows. there'll be no financial limit on what his government provides the military. he made the pledge war meeting senior

defense officials. putin approved a proposal to increase the strength of the armed forces by 30 percent. the kremlin says there is no chance of peace talks with ukraine while western countries continue to supply it with arms. what a room is you in it were we was more or less than an hour. i me and military capabilities are increasing the yeah, constantly, every day. this process will make no mistake will not be sped up william al jazeera . i mean, there homie has more on the kremlin reaction to present sullens case visit to the us. i'm for lucky all kind of to, we're not girdled old fella. jacques. the ontario cult muska 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 muscle at the spokesperson also added their rushes position remains the same. yeah, i see condemning the united nations support to ukraine, particularly with weapons which might result in a direct confrontation with moscow. m. i walk if regarding vern,

me approved 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 to be, i seen, i put an accused nato, and the united states in particular of trying to weaken russia and through the prolonged conflict in ukraine. he at o. m white wouldn't said moscow will do its best to increase its military capabilities. i couldn't also added will, must, i was ready with nuclear matter in order to maintain the stability of russia still had arnold 0. benjamin netanyahu announces the formation of a new government for israel. it's set to be the most right wing, and the nation's history. and thousands of ambulance workers join a wave of strikes in the u. k. putting the national health service under more strain. ah,

lives. but very few of as really understand its capabilities. for better or worse, al jazeera explores the impact of a i accessing vast amounts of our personal data. data land on al jazeera blue. ah, you're watching out 0 reminder of our top stories this our you as president joe biden has announced a new $1800000000.00 package for ukraine, which includes patriot missiles,

speaking alongside ukraine's president volota. miss zalinski biden says the u. s. will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes russia's president, vladimir putin has approved a 30 percent increase in military personnel that'll wooster to one point. 5000000 soldiers gremlins as peace talked with ukraine, are not possible. all western countries supply it with a decision to ban women from universities has triggered protests in afghanistan. girls have already been banned from middle school and high school. as laura con reports. some analysts say the latest government order points to a clear divide in the taliban. oh, this defiant group of students is taking a stand against the taliban, withdrawing their education. they say their ambitions and dreams cannot be taken from them. my po number, who can my peers care? in the 21st century? if there is no education, we will vanish from the face of the earth. no one is going to take us seriously, and we won't be able to demand our rights. only with education. can we understand

our rights and responsibilities? this was the notification of an indefinite ban on women's university education. a gynecologist in kabul says a lack of female doctors could put lives in danger. and there is no schools, no university's and no, i know cool or just female doctors. that number off or, or maternity mortality rate is increasing day by the despite strong condemnation from several countries and activist groups. the taliban is yet to respond officially. but sources of told out to theora the taliban is divided between reformists, many of whom engage with the international community. during talks in doe, hon, and a more conservative faction. one analyst says the decisions are made by small minority . i think that the vision is the coming lost on maple. she ended these with

the u. s. and daughter and or her doctor that they are not against women educators only 5 people who are managing the whole idea of a heart like this. if you're not going to be covered, it was the destination of the more the year before the taliban took power in afghanistan. it's 1st deputy leader, sergio in the ha, connie wrote an article published in the new york times. it said women's rights, the education would be protected, a promise that has been rolled back, but the u. s. also failed on its promised to use economic tools as leverage to moderate the telephone. in 2021. it proves nearly $10000000000.00 in assets belonging to the afghan central bank. women say this still suffering. please don't, but more sanctions in afghanistan did each sanction you put on we are having to result. i mean, when i say we, it's women who are like they are eliminating women. they are giving us. why isn't

each time many women say they were shocked by the announcement i was any shocked i couldn't believe now. there wasn't rumors that are going to ban goes from attending universities, but we didn't know that this will happen in the middle of the finals and they won't let us graduate for the moment. sees like this. women walking to university hoping to shape their career paths will stop for the foreseeable future. laura con al jazeera, peruse president dina bell o r t a has carried out a major cabinet reshuffle. the appointments include a new prime minister and finance chief. it came hours after she won the approval of congress to bring forward elections to 2024. protesters have been demanding early polls and 2 weeks of unrest following the impeachment and imprisonment of former president pedro castillo. arianna sanchez has more from lima. it seems that the for 7 days, just starting to to have a government, if you will,

after these 2 weeks of political and social turmoil in the country, she has named her prime minister. she has brought up the defense minister that our love to be the new prime minister of having a chief us here. and he has the experience of being a defense minister before a former defense minister with former presidents are young. oh my love, but she has kept her of her foreign minister. last night, declared the mexican ambassador. when on the after the mexican government gave asylum to the family of former president, fatal gas, you'll hear out outside the embassy. everything is quiet. but last night, the ambassador, who had, who was ordered 72 hours to be able to leave it left with lillia. but it is the wife of president former president. i see you and her 2 children to the airport.

they are now in mexico. but now president manuel lopez for a lot from mexico has said that relations between the countries will remain firm as they have always been. israel's longer serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he has secured a last minute deal to form a new government. and in yahoo was facing a midnight deadline to arrange a coalition. it follows weeks of tough negotiations with religious and far right. coalition partners. ra mcbride reports from west harrison. ha, ha, ha ha. since his election victory, 7 weeks ago, benjamin netanyahu has been bogged down in tough negotiations to form a new israeli government. the right wing the could leader was granted a 10 day extension of his mandate to form a government which he has needed. yeah, it's quite remarkable. and a little bit hard to fathom. he won a decisive election victory way back on november. the 1st we knew exactly who the

allies would be in his coalition. they ran as a block, i guess he would say it's been really hard. they been driving a really tough bargain, but from the outside it looks like he projected and bizarre weakness, and this is made for a very complicated process. netanyahu has formed an alliance with leaders who until now have been considered on the fringes of the political spectrum limit like it to my bank via convicted of supporting a terrorist organization and racist incitement. he will become police minister with expanded powers to control the force betsel else motrin will be given ministerial responsibility for the illegal settlements in the occupied west bank. he has long lobbied for their expansion as well as control over palestinian construction there and area dairy, who is still serving a suspended sentence for tax fraud and who needed a change in the law to allow him to become minister. the question for many is

whether netanyahu can keep these partners in check. i mean, the, what he said is, trust me. i am running the show here. but if you look at the way he's negotiated his coalition, they've certainly had, they've made their influence felt, and you have to assume that will continue to be the case i made for, is that all ready combustible tensions could flare out of control. palestinians seem to be expecting the worst with no one expecting this government to follow any path towards peace. critics, the coalition speculate that some of its more hard line members might welcome a violent palestinian response to justify further crackdowns on the occupied west bank and gaza. what's clear is with the unprecedented makeup of this government, israeli politics entering you and uncharted territory. robert bride al jazeera west jerusalem. thousands of ambulance workers in the u. k. have gone on strike. it's put the national health service under further strain

a day after unprecedented industrial action by nurses. the government says it can't afford more than a 4 percent wage increase. while health sector staff want 19 percent. john whole reports from london ambulance workers have joined a long list of public sector strikes, driven to industrial action because of low pay in the face of a crippling cost of living crisis. in this sector, perhaps more than most low pay as life and death consequences. it's not just to be paid one of the reasons why the services and such as the because the government hasn't been based properly in the workforce and people are leaving in the rules. and it's one of these cumulative things. he hasn't good people leave, it means those 2 are left behind or under even more pressure. and too often, the ultimate price is paid by patients. according to an age as england, the number of patients who died while being transferred to hospital in an ambulance . more than doubled from 40 in 2021 to 93. in the past 12 months. the number of

patients who suffered severe harm in ambulances, triple to a 154. and more than 5000 patients came to some sort of hom, on their way to hospital like their colleagues. the nurse is no ambulance work, a wants to risk patient care by going on strike. well, what they'll tell you here is that the ambulance service has been risking patient care for a long time. what they want is better pay that leads to better staffing levels. that leads to better care. but as with the nurses, the government is refusing to negotiate beyond the payoff of a full percent well below. inflation at almost 11 percent, i think were held together for the good will of actually nation. and i checked workers across the country, but it's on sustainable is a crisis. and without intervention from this government, we've got serious concerns for the future. and i checked on the health of the nation in general. the ambulance workers says a win this fight,

even if it means more strikes in the new year. but an improved payoff of they say, will only be a small step towards saving the national health service. they're proud to represent jona hall, alto, 0 london. at least 5 children have died and monsoon floods and eastern malaysia, tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes. foreign st. louis has more from court to borrow. colon fallon to gun you are the worst affected areas, but the majority of people have been displaced by floods coming from these 2 states . now where i am now is the new part of a town called bassier month. and people here say the water level was up to waste level just this morning. now he's begun to recede him because that's been, that's been a day's rest, fight from the rain. the weather forecast is heavy. rain is expected to continue until later this week. not only that water level, at many with light levels indicated though quite high,

and that is a cold. then there's no indication yet of people who've been displayed when they can go home. there is no hope for a critically endangered species of iguana who live on the site of an active volcano . in the galapagos islands, scientists were worried in the pink. the pink iguana could become extinct within years. but the discovery of hatchlings and juvenile reptiles could change that felicity ogilvy reports clinging to a tree on the side of a volcano. this is the youngest pinky gwanae scientists have ever seen. the reptiles of bone green and gradually become pink as they age in north garcia, east all night. we have never seen a young pink iguana. the species was 1st described in 2009 before that the pinky guano was not known since then. we had not found an young iguanas. this is a very important finding to secure the conservation of the species. the wolf

volcano is one of the most remote spots in the galapagos islands, but that hasn't protected the pink iguanas from the threat of introduce species like rats. the volcano is active and last erupt in january, also putting the reptiles in danger. if there is one i just was swimming in both of them, an estimate that there is a population of between no more than $2300.00 grown specimens. so this means that if we hadn't made this discovery, and if we hadn't fought the threats they are facing, it could become extinct in a few years. plans to save the pinky guano from extinction include a captive breeding program. now there's proof, the reptiles of breeding in the wild, leaving them one step further from extinction. felicity ogilvy, al jazeera, the 2022 foot ball world copies come to an end. but a couple will continue to host other international competitions next year. in january kite surfers will compete in the freestyle category on for weighted beach.
