this is one of the last occasions how speaker nancy pelosi will preside over the chamber from january. the 3rd. it will be a republican in the chair with some on the right wing of the party intent on stopping the regular funding to ukraine. the extreme right wing faction is very much in the minority, but with the slim republican majority in the house, its power is disproportionate to its size. and the issue of ukrainian funding could prove to be a factor, even in the election of a house speaker. earlier the ukranian president arrived at the white house i should in by president biden, who put an arm around his shoulders and who made clear that unequivocal us support will continue the american people with you every step of the way. and we will stay with you. we will stay with you for as long as it takes on the stay to the senate overwhelmingly, confirmed a new ambassador to russia. it has also sent

a massive omnibus bill to the house, which includes an additional funding of more than $40000000000.00 for ukraine. at the conclusion of his speech, the ukrainian president presented a battle flag signed by soldiers to be outgoing. how speaker a flag that he said is a symbol of victory. and the applause is a clear signal that ukraine and its president are assured of ongoing bipartisan support. my cana al jazeera washington, well, william courtney's from the rand corporation. he says there be different views inside russia on zelinski strip. well, the russians probably have several heroes or she will. some russians will see that the criminal has been saying all along with this war is really between russia and the west, not just between russia and ukraine, but other russians are going to see the landscape. ukraine are getting

a lot of international support. underlined by this isn't going to see russia is more isolated on the defensive, present brightness, and several times there is no sign of fruit and was interested in the ocean. so at this point, the united states and western allies are going to be provided in a grade with a lot of military support to enable ukraine to continuous battlefield momentum. as also publicans in the house side. house representatives have expressed concern about providing web to kevin mccarthy. the uncovered speaker says there's a blank check by the blank check has never been provided, but also some progresses. liberals on the left, how also expressed concern. they published a letter recently been retracted as quickly. so while those concerns on the right of the left exist, the still strong bipartisan support, the house,

and certainly bipartisan support center to continue rating your current. meanwhile, the trains getting a significant boost to its air defenses and it's war with russia. a new $1800000000.00 systems package announced by the us president will include patriot missiles, our defense editor alex patropolis, as more on how effective the weapons off 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 are 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 was still sold to us allies in the gulf, like co 8 saudi arabia, the u. e,

and cutter. her 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 missiles system. this information will be especially valuable as russian missile inventories run low in the war and ukraine and russia increasingly relies on a rainy and built drones and short range missiles. will the patrick make a difference to the war unlikely? the u. s. has few patriot 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 patriot is more about showing political support for ukraine than it will be about defending the country. a russian leader vladimir putin has vowed there'll be no limit on military spending.

he made the pledge while meeting senior defense officials. putin approved a proposal to increase the number of military personnel by 30 percent. the criminal says there's no chance of peace talks with ukraine, while western countries continued to supply with weapons out his ears. i mean, tagami has more in the criminal reaction to zalinski trip. i'm for like yes, okay, that's when i got a little tri, la on thought. he called muska reacted to the announcement with a statement from the kremlin spokespersons. 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 wall thought the spokesperson also added. the rushes position remains the same. he, i see condemning the united nations to port to ukraine, particularly with weapons which might result in a direct confrontation with moscow. i'll walk there regarding van me, a prudent 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. dibiase not put an accused nato,

ah, join the debate when we talk about climate change in our freak out, we should focus on education knocked mitigation on air or online at your voice. it shouldn't be explained, that's what that look what is being right now is being everything that is going to benefit them on revealing new perspectives like getting this out of proportion. no, no, his region has power is what is disproportionate. the stream we're a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera. ah ah,

welcome back. a good reminder of the top stories here on al jazeera ukraine's president is addressed the u. s. congress, saying his country will never surrender to russia. lensky told a patch chamber that military aid is an investment in global security and democracy . bruce president dina polity has carried out a major cabinet reshuffle that came out office. she won the approval of congress to bring forward election to 20. 24. protest has been demanding early polls in 2 weeks of unrest. on the founder of the collapse crypto county exchange, f t. x is in f. b. i custody on his way to the u. s. sam, bank fried, was flown out to the bahamas of the night after agreeing to be expedited. israel's longer serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he has secured a last minute deal to form a new government. netanyahu was facing a midnight deadline to arrange a coalition. it follows weeks of tough to go see ations with, with religious some far right. coalitional partners,

rama rod reports from western usa. i met him 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've 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 fears that already combustible tensions could flare out of control. palestinians seem to be expecting the worst with no one expecting this government to follow any paths towards peace. critics of this coalition speculate that some of its more hard line 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 but the national health service on the further strain. day after unprecedented industrial action by nurses, the government says that can't afford more than a 4 percent wage increase while health stock sector stuff. 119 percent. john hall report 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

a piece paper, one of the reasons why the services and such as the because the government hasn't been based hopefully 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 who are left behind or under even more pressure and too often the ultimate price is paid by patients. according to n, h s 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 harm on their way to hospital. like their colleagues, the nurse, you know, ambulance worker wants to risk patient care by going on strike. but 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 stopping levels that

leads to better care. but as with the nurses, the government is refusing to negotiate beyond the payoff of 4 percent well below inflation at almost 11 percent think were held together by the goodwill of actually mission. and then i just work is across the country, but it's on sustainable is a crisis. without intervention from this government. we've got serious concerns for the future and i checked, i'm health of the nation. and in general, the ambulance workers say they win this fight. even if it means more strikes in the new year, but an improved pay off, what they say will only be a small step towards saving the national health service. they're proud to represent jonah, how l 20 london. the un security council has adopted its 1st resolution on me and mar, in decades. it's demanding an end to violence and just the military june to, to release all political prisoners, including alfred leader unsung suit. she diplomatic editor james bass, has more from the united nation. it's almost 2 years since the military took
