they did an incredible rheumatic aid. a what is what is wrong? i don't i'm there was a time to be direct there. basically on the verge of legalizing racial jerry battery to cut through the rhetoric. this isn't a universal death felony crisis. the seems to be one of particular population to dismantle the sound bites. there are lots and lots of women who are likely agenda a kind of anti feminist agenda and demand the truth. those the size of fascism. we have to really recognize what we're open here. we are determining what is the future of democracy in this country. join me markham on hill for up for what al jazeera lou

ukraine's president tells the u. s. congress. that aid for his country is not charity, but investment in democracy. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this about 0 lie from dough are also coming up, a major cabinet. we shuffle in a room as the president tries to find a way out of the deepening political crisis. the founder, the collapsed f t. x crypto currency exchange is expedited to the u. s. from the bahamas and a 100 days in office, we take a look at the challenges facing kenya's president tackling is to can only be a cranium president has addressed the u. s. congress saying his country will never surrender to russia. a lot of his, the lensky told a patch chamber that military aid to ukraine is an investment in global security

and democracy. it's his 1st overseas trip since the russian invasion began my kind of report from washington dc. the ukranian president receives a hero's welcome as he enters the house rule that men must wear red jacket and tie, waived or simply not enforced. the invitation to address both houses of congress is a rare honor, but the ukrainian president is also well aware that the legislators here control american pur, strings, and it is they, he has to persuade to continue aid to his country. thank you for both financial packages. you have already provided us with and there was you may be willing to decide on your money is not cheery team is an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.

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 is 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 ukranian 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 audio 0 washington. well, william courtney is on the rand corporation. he says there be different views inside russia on silence his visit. well, the russians probably have several heroes, if you 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 that 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 brightness and several times there is no sign up for newsletters in goshen. so at this point, the united states and western allies are going to be providing a grade was a lot of military support to enable ukraine to continuous battlefield momentum. so certainly publicans in the house side house representatives have expressed concern about providing what kevin mccarthy, the uncovered speaker says there's a blank check, but a blank check has never been provided. but also some progress is liberals on the left. how also expressed concern. they published a letter recently been retracted as quickly. so while those concerns on the right and left exists, the still strong bipartisan support and the house, and certainly by, by the support center to continue rating your current minority train is getting

a significant boost to its air defenses. and it's war with russia, a new $1800000000.00 assistance package announced by us president joe biden will include patriot missiles. speaking alongside the landscape bible says the u. s. will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes frank leverage the military analyst at the university of portsmouth. he says, the advanced patriot systems that ukraine will receive wouldn't be enough to repel russians attacks. it is a change in capability, but the challenge for the ukrainians is that it does not particularly represent step changing capacity. in other words, patriot can do a lot more. it can shoot down ballistic missiles. i think over the next few months, ukraine is going to have serious problems with the a rainy ballistic missiles. 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 solver. 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 the ukraine is that they had to have it 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 equity fighting vehicles and other things that you created specifically requested. and will certainly be requesting today. russian leader vladimir putin has vow there'll be no limit on military spending. he made the pledge while meeting senior defense officials. bruton approved a proposal to increase the number of military personnel by 30 percent. the claimant says there's no chance of peace talks with ukraine, while western countries continue to supplied with our little room is you were,

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. i'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 of ear 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 may fears that already combustible tensions could flare out of control. palestinians seemed to be expecting the worst with no one expecting this government to follow any path towards peace. critics of this 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 the national health service, not a further strain. and day after unprecedented industrial action by nurses. the government says it can't afford more than a 4 percent wage increase, while health sector stuff. 119 percent. janelle reports from lumber ambulance workers have joined a long list of public sector strike 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 lo pay as life and death consequences. it's not just a p p is one of the reasons why the services in such a state because the government hasn't invested 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 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 hom, on their way to hospital like their colleagues. the nurse is no 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. i think we're held together by the goodwill of our clinician and i checked work is across the country. but it's on sustainable is a crisis. without intervention from the government. we've got serious concerns for the future, and i check, i'm health of the nation in general. the ambulance workers say there when this fight, even if it means more strikes in the new year. but an improve pay off what they say will only be a small step towards saving the national health service. they're proud to represent jona hall, l $20.00, london. the un security council has adopted its 1st resolution on me and mar, in decades, is demanding an end to violence, and the military genta to release all political prisoners, including the alfred leader. and thanks to cheat. diplomatic editor, james bass has more from the united nation. it's almost 2 years since the military to control and man mom. during that time the security council has been divided, unable to come up with a resolution. now
