8:00 pm
the effectively and doing everything possible to minimize the harm to those who are caught in the crossfire from us is making and again, i come back to this basic proposition. there seems to be silence on the what i'm asking to should must do if we want to and the suffering of innocent men, women and children, it would be good if the world could unite around that proposition as well for you. right. courtney and you touched on this with respect to ukraine. there's. there's growing concern internationally that further delays or outright denial of us and you assistance in creating could lead to a rushing victory for us in 2024. and the ministration said that there are no additional funds to draw upon at congressional passage of the supplemental funding
8:01 pm
request. so realistically, i mean, how long can you crane hold out without it additional western support? is it weeks? is it months and what is the long term strategy? i know you talked about it being a difficult year given the, the struggle to gain much of the territory that, that russia has ceased. so concise 1st to emphasize something that, that you said other than the supplemental request that the president has made of congress. there is no magic pot of money that we can draw from the assistance which support that we have designated for, for you train that is running out. it's running down. we are nearly out of money that we need and we're nearly out of sight. i can't put a precise date on it, but that's the direction of this is moving in which underscores the urgency of getting the supplemental budget request through as we have made a real investment in new kinds future and it's freedom and it would makes no sense
8:02 pm
to me that we would now renege on that investment having already done so much and having already put your brain in a position where you can not only survive but actually strive going forward. and we have a very clear plan. as i said, to make sure that you, franklin stand on his own 2 feet militarily, economically democratically so that these levels of support and assistance will no longer be necessary. but we have to help you try and get through the next period of time. i get through this winter and get through the spring and summer. i'm also focused on the fact that they have their own on plans to continue. not only to deter the russian aggression but to continue to take back territory that proceeds from from them by russia. as you know, they've taken back more than 50 percent of the territory that russia took in
8:03 pm
february of 2022. and that's going to be an ongoing effort. but most important thing is, as i said, making sure that we get you find you a place where it can stand on its own feet. and we see that it is there before us. but we have to continue to provide the support to get them to that place. and i want it besides 2 things again, because it, it bears repeating every single time one. this is not just the united states alone doing it. it's the united states and dozens of other countries with better burden sharing that i've seen in any other crisis that i've been involved in over 30 years . mentioned just before we provided about $70000000000.00 d frame. over the last couple of years. our allies and partners more than a $110000000000.00, so they are more than picking up their share of the burden. second, to mentioned before or virtually all of the security assistance that we provided the price and the security systems that would be in this,
8:04 pm
in the supplemental budget request. that gets investigated right here in the united states. that's where it's spent. and that, that will not only helps picture the, the weapons that be trained needs to hit, provides good jobs here in the united states. it builds our own defense industrial base. so in many ways this, this is a win win for us. and that's why i would from, from congress acts and acts quickly. and again, as i said before, we know who will be happy if for whatever reason his budget request does not go through and they're sitting in moscow, they're sitting in beijing, they're sitting in tara last question and said before that there is no higher priority for the united states and bringing home americans were wrongfully or arbitrarily changed overseas or being held up dozens of american families. right now. we're living through another holiday season
8:05 pm
and during another new year without their loved ones, by their side cases are lingering and russia, china, afghanistan, syria, iran, saudi arabia, many other countries that i know you know, well. so what is your message to those families right now struggling to share in the joy of, of news of some americans being freed and some feeling increasingly hopeless and presently left behind by their own country. and if i may specifically ask you on known cases in russia, where vladimir putin appeared last week to be hold of holding the door open to some kind of deal. saying the american side must hear us and make a decision that will satisfy the russian side as well. how the russians made a counter offer for the release of paul whalen and haven't rskovich. thank you. thank you. my message to americans who have their loved ones being arbitrarily detained someplace around the world is, is 2 fold. one of what you present is with you
8:06 pm
and he's working for you every single day to bring your loved ones home. and 2nd, do not do not do not give up hope because we have demonstrated time. and again, that even when something seemed hopeless, it wasn't. we brought more than 3 dozen americans were being arbitrarily detained. back home to their families of the last 3 years. and each and every one comes home should be a message of hope to those who remain detained and to their families and loved ones . that not only is it possible, it's happening. it happens. so it's course, one thing for me to say that it's another thing if you're a member of one of these families that has a loved one being detained, you'll have to live through that every hour of every day. the uncertainty and not knowing of none of us can fully put themselves ourselves in their shoes. but i've
8:07 pm
spent a lot of time meeting with the families of those who are charlie st held hostage. and for me and for the president. this is not a, these are not names on a piece of paper. these are not numbers. there are real people, real families whose lives have been torn apart by the arbitrary actions of other governments or groups. and remembering, as i do every day that we're talking about real people, realize real families, that's what motivates us to do everything possible to bring them back with regard to russia. evan, all wheel, and all i can say is this is for very actively what?
8:08 pm
and we will leave no stone unturned, see if we can't find the right way to get them home and to get them home as soon as possible. i can't get into any more details than that. you understand? why fi? it's very much the focus of our actions. activities thank you all. thanks everyone may i wish you a very happy new year holiday season. and i hope we won't have occasion to see each other during this period. but you never know i, for those, we're joining our next middle, each trip which leaves in a few hours to see that. thanks. we have been listening back to the us secretary of state antony blinking, who's making his annual address of the us state department. and he was talking about a number of issues on the u. s. foreign policy agenda, most notably on as well as well on gaza. and our correspondence, mike, hannah has been listening and he's joining us live from washington, dc. and mike,
8:09 pm
before secretary of state lincoln took questions from june and the, the you was saying off to his initial address, how he didn't refer to the criticism that the u. s. has been facing around the world. and he was searching the asked about that from many of the journalists and the room about whether, how isolated the us is and whether it's risk, further, isolation with the latest votes that we're expecting at the un security council as well. the secretary of state didn't give an indication which way that vote is going to go in the security council. but however, he did say that the intention of that vote should be to facilitate to monetary and assistance. and the us will not support something that does not do that completely, but in terms of whether or not us as isolated the 6th through a state continues to insist that the us is a central path and what is happening in the cause of conflict. and he claims as
8:10 pm
well, but in many countries, including those who do not agree with the united states, see it as a central class. now he was asked by rickly, at what stage does the us have a red line in terms of how israel conducts its operations in gaza and the occupied westbank. he did not on so that directly he did say that the conflict new needs to move to what he calls a new intensity or a low intensity be phase. and it is absolutely critical that the palm done to civilians is decreased. he stated that it is vitally important how israel conducts its operations. so although they is that god reference to concern about the manner in which israel is carrying out its operations. this also that completes commitment to supporting israel as it does so. and also there is no clarity as to whether that is a point at which the united states will weigh,
8:11 pm
its international reputation against its continued support for israel should the violence continue in gaza ends in the occupied westbank. so the secretary of state trying to rule that's in line though, but continuing to insist, speaking about the why the us policy throughout the globe that the u. s. over the past year has strengthened its alliances with its partners in many areas. and in so doing, has made itself more able to deal with the conflicts, the crises like that. it is happening in ukraine in sudan and of course in gaza and the occupied westbank. mike, thank you very much for that. that's my kind of live in washington dc. so let's take a look at the situation on the ground and gaza now and as really drawing strikes of targeted residential buildings near a hospital in the southern city of golf, or at least 10 people killed and 60 injured in the strike. it happened just as we
