[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is the w news line from the loudermilk landscape to make a surprise visit to the united states as a 1st time ukrainian. the president has left his country since russia invited in february. also on the program. tyler brown imposed new restrictions on the rights

of women by banning them from attending university. we look at what's behind this latest move to europe's largest economy is running out of some basic medicines of german government policies. partly to play ah, i'm show game. welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir savanski has confirmed media reports that he's on his way to the united states. is expected to meet with you as president joe biden, to address that congress. it'll be his 1st trip abroad since the russian invasion is still in washington. will use the visit to announce the delivery of more advanced weapons to cave. president zalinski has taken every opportunity to appeal for more money,

aid and military support. since the start of the war in ukraine, either one hosting world leaders in the capital keefe, shannona virus of all when addressing governments and international institutions with his face, appearing almost daily on multiple screens. in almost 10 months of fighting, though, he hasn't left the country until now. zalinski is due to meet with his us counterpart, joe biden, in washington, and address congress. one you can say it's a visit fraught with security concerns in a letter sent by us. how speak can nancy pelosi on tuesday, members of congress were urged to be present in person on wednesday night session for a very special focus on democracy. the trip comes a day off to the ukrainian presidents unannounced visit to the front line to meet

troops in the city of back loot that he handed out awards to soldiers and was gifted a ukrainian flag making this statement. just moments later, lou portals visited, the enemy is increasing his army and our people are braver and need more powerful weapons. we will pass it on from the boys to the congress, to the president of united states, your grateful professor, poorly. but it is not enough. the united to with them. but washington is one of ukraine's biggest supporters. and what happens here now could be crucial with us politicians preparing to vote on a spending package that includes around $45000000000.00 in emergency assistance to ukraine, stretched to washington. then we can join

a corresponding customer morning mckayla at what can we expect from his visit? well, as we heard from a senior official of the administration a, we can expect an in depth strategic discussion. a during a sit down between president biden info to me at the lensky where they want to talk about the current situation, but also potential steps ahead and very concrete. the we also heard from that official, there would be $2000000000.00 worth of assistance. first assistance announced and also, and that's quite key. one patriot air defense system is due to be delivered. m ukrainian troops are due to be trained on that. and that is seen as a potential game changer, not just for the defense of ukraine who's been asking for this for very long time, but also in relations with russia. with that, having been

a pushback coming out of moscow, a warning even not to use this patriot system, which would become a de determine target as the russians say. and once again stresses that this is a proxy confrontation indeed. and with this modern system, as due to be used in the future, is also seen as a show of solidarity and can also, as well be understood as a very much do thank you to the u. s. public which has already sent as some $50000000000.00, was a 1000000000 us dollars worth of assistance to would ukraine and is expected in this budget. thus you should be decide on in congress to do the same again. yeah, great news for, for both a lead as a, i suppose with it, the u. s. being ukraine's most important. back in this conflict. it absolutely, it's a good deuce who wrote miss lensky, but also a scene is something that was very much expected in congress,

and new congress is due to come in in january. we don't expect the support overall to complete the fate, but there is an element of public fatigue despite the fact that the majority of americans is in favor of assistance to with ukraine of supporting ukraine. and whether that support it will come as thick and fast as it has done over the 1st 10 months of conflict. that is still an open question. and that's why this budget being passed and getting congress to pass this swiftly and decisively is so key fob loaded me as lensky as much as you, as president biden. continuing to rally the international committee that's terminology that's being used here and also it to continue to do whatever it takes . and this is the place by president biden, as well as not doing anything without ukraine, not talking over ukraine's head. and this will be the symbolism towards russia. i hear from that from

a kind of covenant in washington. we can go to a cave now, the crimean capital and bring him a correspondent amongst xanda. welcome much houses near spring receiver. well this is, this is big news, a for sure. the ukrainian president a leaving ukraine for the 1st time since the beginning of this war going overseas going to the united states. um, this comes at a, at a, at a rate costa at i, at a, as a great, a business put puts, puts him like st. endanger traveling as well as the officer the, the president. but this is seen as a very necessary step. now the ukraine in force has happened fighting incredibly hard in repelling a russian. the taxes are you trading. civilian population has been

a suffering quite, quite a deal, but may but kept, kept the country running all this time. but the great ukrainian sag cannot do this by them all by themselves. they are dependent on the help of a western allies of the united states in particular it when it comes to the delivery of, of western weapon. so this is actually what everybody's is hoping for. a western countries have been delivering some air defense capabilities such as iris t or ne, some systems i'm quite effective in repelling these these recent rocket attacks. but what the ukrainians are hoping for is the the patriot system. we just, we just heard about and this is a, so this is this really this, this new as this is welcome to here. and hope is that this so will soon be delivered. and this, this visit and zalinski to the united states will contribute to this. and that meant the latest that there ain't keith ein easton ukraine. right,

so um we heard that overnight. so the ukrainian forces have repelled them further. russian attacks in the south eastern region in the, in the eastern region, and particularly in the a blood hockey for on yes and lawns can we just returned from the donates region? i'm from it from a visit there. are there still some intense fighting going on? i'm especially around the town of buck with that the russian forces are trying to take a there's incredible fighting going on of heavy use of artillery, a heavy use of russian mobilized forces. we talked to some fighters, there from that ukrainian national guard were telling us that the russians at the moment are sending everything they got into the town or into the, into the frontline, around the town of, of backwards to a to take this a strategically for them an important city, so there's lot of suffering going on the at, amongst, amongst the soldiers, but not just there of this. the civilians are to impacted. we happened to be at the

sight of a missile attack. him at the, after the missile attack happened the f, and we could witness somehow ukrainian civilian said, we're dealing with the situation. there are quite, quite remarkable in terms of their resilience. so at how look the frontline is more than 30 kilometers away from this town. the eastern ukraine, but every now and then from a course itself turned towards, oh, well, this is the aftermath of last night's attack. a russian rocket landed here at about 20 minutes past midnight on most likely a russian surface to air missile was used quite inaccurate. but at the same time, extremely powerful, the settled a single round with a devastating effect. the blast wave took away the roof of the neighboring college and glowed every window in the vicinity. volleyball field inside the gym. once the training ground that they come with us. firstly, multi,

now covered in endless charge, the power lines to have been destroyed since the beginning of fall. this has been part of the russian strategy across the entire country, virginia dot, it's 95 percent of recent strikes. have talked. it submitted infrastructure. i don't know why they're shooting into the city. why they're trying to injure us. citizens in the market for their aim is not to liberate anyone as they would put it, you know, they want to kill ukrainians and destroy our nation. mitchell, to not from us. nobody was killed in this but natalia cushion audio but lost everything she had. oh, she shows us the ruins of witches hours ago. had been her home here. yes. oh yes, but the young. no, i'm nearly always here a minute. yep. a lot,

but when it happened to him, i was away visiting my family. what's a bullet natalia knows that despite everything, she got extremely lucky. i've never been a yellow them up for the last few years. i lived here alone with my younger son yet. but he died in january and then the war started in february like his room was the 1st one you entered below with. and i slept here, i guess with natalia doesn't know yet what she will do. she is 67, a pensioner with no other place to go. but even if she did, she says she wouldn't want to leave cremmit asked. outside,

the cleanup continues. soon the road will be repaired by the evening. power will be back. despite the horrors and hardships ukrainians have learned to keep calm and carry off. mcsaunder reporting from cram a toss that to afghan is found where the countries taliban rulers have banned university education for women. it's the latest blow to women and girls who have been stripped of many basic rights since the medicine group seized power. last year . united states and the un have condemned the move saying it will bring further isolation to the taliban government. they appear at indifference to the international outrage. the news comes as a huge disappointment to thousands of african women and girls, especially those who took their university entrance exams just 3 months ago. it further restricts women's access to formal education. after already being banned

from secondary school, at the united nations, there was condemnation of can a sense representative. they're not the taliban pick for ambassador, criticized the band. i regret to begin my remarks with the very unfortunate news about the taliban. st directive just announced banning all woman from attending universities throughout afghanistan as if the situation was in dire enough. this announcement now marks a new law in violation of most fundamental and universal human rights. a spokesman for the un secretary general said that taliban was failing to keep their word what it is. it's clearly another broken promise from the tolliver, and we have seen since there take over and it also in the past months, just a lessening of the space for women are not only in education,

but access to public areas. their non participation in the public debate after the taliban took over last year, universities in afghanistan began separating classes by gender and introducing separate entrance points. now the right to even attend has been taken away in the united states says it will do its best to hold the taliban to account any way it can condemns in the strongest harm. this unexpected and acceptable stance will have significant consequences or the taliban and will further alienate the taliban from the in a community. and neither illegitimacy, they desire that's kind of stern, is struggling economically and has repeatedly called for international assistance. but without the participation of its female population and society, a lot of outside assistance may be hard to come by. i asked a germ most to abby latifah in kabul, if the taliban had given

a reason for imposing this latest restriction on women's rights. and they haven't given a reason as far as we know, anyone who has tried to contact any official within the government, all they will get is an answer of yes, it's true, but nothing more. no other comment? no reasoning, nothing of the like. and you know about now why now the timing itself was, you know, i came late in the evening last night around me, 830 that everyone come came to find out about it. i came, you know, essentially on the day when most people were ending the school year, most boys and girls and they were receiving their grade and their results for the year. and we're trying to figure out, you know, what, what happened next for them. obviously for young girls who were finishing to 6th grade in 32 of the 34 province as it was already as adhd because they had no idea what they would do beyond that. um and now for all of the other ones,

it's yet another blow because now it means that essentially in 30 to 34 provinces, you can only go on to the 6. you can only hope to go up to the 6th grade i. if you are young girl in school, right? so 6 drive out about his girls up to what age? $1230.00. right. and so given those restrictions on, on those young girls that, that were imposed her earlier and said at the time to be temporary. i guess these latest restrictions and should come as no surprise and i as i suppose people are now wondering what, what else are is going to happen. what is the next move against women? i really, yeah, obviously it, none of this comes as a surprise. just given their track record, and as you said, given what they've said and done thus far, but that doesn't make the below any less powerful or any less sad. you know,

last night i was with my family including, you know, 2 young female relatives on 22114. and they will dis, actually turn to in say, hello, we're done. this is it, there's nothing left for us. ah, you know, any chance any hope that they had of doing anything of making anything in these, these are the daughters of fi. now educators of female and male doctors, male government workers of, you know, business, they could day entrepreneurs. and yet now they feel as if they have no future and their younger sisters obviously also, you know, yesterday received top scores in their school. but, you know, they kind of looked at them and wondered if they realize what the impact of all of this was. wow, so terribly sad and yet we have a country who's economy has crashed on the taliban. clearly need international assistance and moves like this. reduce the chances about assistance arriving at the taliban. don't seem to to care. no,

because the truth is the sanctions don't affect them in any way. you know, they are still able to travel around the world. they're still able to go to meetings around the world. they still meet western and other officials in avalon astound. they're still, you know, several at regional and neighboring embassies that are still active in this country . so they haven't felt any of the blow from these impacts or bush or from these sanctions or restrictions, you know, they are living great lives living and other people's homes, taking private jets all over the world to different meetings are still being invited to meetings a in the world and they are still receiving guests, so they have as much as they talk about these sanctions. the truth is doesn't affect them in any way whatsoever. so it seems that they don't really care or his, the obvious fact of all of this just gave on, given the response to this and other sort of restrictions is that it's very clear what the or bog government needs to do to lift these restrictions. and the

sanctions, and yet they don't, i mean they say themselves, whenever we have international meetings, they constantly want to talk about women. why do they always want to talk about women? but right. anybody who knows anything, what the history of that bond would know that that's going to be the number one issue. anybody wrong with you at any time? okay, i don't, i think for and cobble assad's the day. i'm thank you so much for our lives. events are clearly for us watching do debris, dears, who's harrison. most doors making headlines around the world. congressional committee in the united states has voted to release a report on donald trump's tax returns. it's expected to shine a light on the former president's finances, including your marriage, he paid in tax, and his long forts to keep information about his finances and confidential. ellen musk says he'll step down from his role as c e o of twitter. once he's found a replacement attack billionaire had promised to abide by the results of

it's empty. that's because we are no longer getting any supplies softly or via, via miss beverly from van and lea, a leak vig heads the hospital pharmacy at the university hospital cologne, one of the largest clinics in germany. she currently can't restock liquid power, see them all or i be profound. prescribed to relieve pain and fever in children at slamming the fang pess of shifting. we've been concerned about drug shortages for years, having to be honest though the situation has never been as bad as it is now. simply because of the sheer number of medications in short supply, the veterans and the hospital pharmacy can still cover its own needs because it can produce drugs for its own patients on site. it's managed to make up for the shortfall in paracetamol by manufacturing it here. but not every pharmacy has resources like that. in many cases, the shelf reserve for fever, reducing children's drugs is empty. the pediatrician's, that's a real problem for once i says the feel it means that we ought now to rewrite

prescriptions and look up the dosage several times. over for alternative medications, and you have talk for 2nd or 3rd choice prescription drugs to come into that slide in order to written while given, improvising with children's health. even hopper was distressed by the medication shortage. 2 weeks ago, when her children began running high fevers. she couldn't find any drugs to bring the temperature down. she says, despite coals to numerous pharmacies, her flats, izod osman, on that i was on the verge of tears because i couldn't help them. and i just couldn't believe it was why. and when the little one is crying and says mom had hurts or mom, i feel like i can't breathe any more, you just feel helpless. those can roof mckee, good on. this was from full amount from here. so how can europe largest economy have such a shortage of basic medicines, disruptions to global supply chain?

so one reason high demand due to a wave of illness is another. but experts also blame price caps designed to keep drug prices stable, even as production costs rise. this is put a number of manufacturers out of business for now children, parents, doctors, and pharmacists are having to improvise as they do their best to cope with the shortage. when get more from correspondence at julia, sour, deli, welcome, julia, how is germany responding to the shortages as we've heard? and that reports, obviously an issue is also a supply chain problems, but also the procurement procedures that germany has set in place. and that means that there is a cap on the amount of money that a health insurance is, can pay to cover medicine that is needed in this case, often by children. and that means that

a lot of the production of these medications has moved to countries where production costs are lower, like china and india. and at the moment, there are big supply chain problems for medications in those countries. and a given that insurance is can't pay more for medication, they have to respect that cap. they can't move to other markets or to other suppliers to buy medication, and that, that has also contributed to the difficulties. now we've seen a german health minister callout about wanting to introduce a new law. loosening the regulations on the price for medication. he wants to introduce a measure that would make it possible for health insurance is to pay a more pay above the maximum amount of for in the cap in case of shortages. and he expects that to make it easier for producers and more attractive for producers to deliver it to germany, but also to increase of the pool of medication suppliers and making it easier for a germans to,

to find medicine. and you've been hearing similar stories to those to that we had in this, in our report. yes, we've been speaking to people here in germany, and especially people with children seem to be quite concerned by the situation, especially at this moment when the flu is going around, a high amount of respiratory illness is, is hitting especially children, but also people with chronic illnesses or people who have other people on family members who have chronic illnesses, they're afraid that they won't be able to find the medication that they need long term to see healthy. and this is something that and across the country is as seemingly a raising concerns. thank you. batter julius are down now to argentina, where hundreds of thousands of fans turned out to welcome our national football team home. after this studying woke up victory in guitar when
