university girls. tell our if god correspondent their future has been taken from ah i'm so gale. welcome to the program. laudermill zalinski has confirmed media reports that he's on his way to the united states. ukrainian president is expected to meet you as president joe biden, and to address congress. it will be his 1st trip abroad since the russian invasion . i just thought that 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 on a virus of them. or 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 by the coin you. 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 precedence 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 visitors, the enemy is increasing his army and our people are braver, a need more powerful weapons. we will pass it on from the boys to the congress to the president of united states. they are grateful for their support, but it is not enough that united 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. my washington correspondent became a cousin that told me more about it. i surprised it. 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. fresh assistance announced and also, and that's quite key. a one patriot air defense system is due to be delivered and 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 there, having been a pushback coming out of moscow, a warning even not to use this patriot system, which would become a legitimate target at the ross and say, and once again stress is that this is a proxy confrontation indeed. and with this modern system is 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 towards ukraine and is expected in this budget. asked you to be decide on in congress to do the same again. yeah, great news for vote for both a lead as a i suppose, with at the us being ukraine's most important back in this conflict. it absolutely, it's a good deuce who wrote me zalinski, but also a scene is something that was very much expected in congress. a new congress is due to coming 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 woods 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 is 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 have heard from hannah, kutner and washington let's take a look at some more stories of making headlines around the world that former russian president dmitri medford, ab has met with chinese president, gigi,

and ping during surprised visit to beijing. close ally of vladimir putin. mister med would have said talks of included the war in ukraine and bilateral corporation . 3 days after the sinking of a ty warship hopes of finding more survivors, a fading rescuers are pulled at once of ivr and 6 bodies from the sea. on tuesday, the vessel sank in rough seas on sunday night, with a 105 people on board. 23, still missing it was, congress has backed plans for early elections in the british. if the use, the political crisis is marked by the ousting of president petro castillo, debbie unrest, his rock, the country since his removal and arrest. a proposal still needs to be ratified in a 2nd vote. and they congressional committee in the united states has voted to release report on donald trump's tax returns. it's expected to shine a light on the home of president's finances,

including the amount paid in tact. mr. trump has long forged to keep information about his finances, confidential i to afghanistan, why the countries taliban rulers of band university education for women? it's the latest blow to women and girls who have been stripped of many basic rights since the militant group seized power last year. united states and the u. n. have condemned the move saying it'll a further isolate the taliban government. but they appear indifferent 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 picked for ambassador, criticized

a band. i regret to begin my remarks with the very unfortunate news about the tolerance 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 the word what it is. it's clearly another broken promise from the child. and we have seen sincere takeover and also in the past months just a lessening of the space for women. not only in education, but access to public areas of 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 condemn the strongest arm. this unexpected, unacceptable stance will have significant consequences or the taliban, and will further alienate the taliban from the internet community and deny them legitimacy they desire. afghanistan 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. last journalist allie latifah. in kabul, if the taliban had given any reason for his latest restriction on women's rights, ah, 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 us. thank you know, may, i came late in the evening last night around me 830 that everyone come came to find out about it. and 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, well, what happened next for them? obviously for young girls who were finishing to 6th grade and 32 of the 34 province as it was already a sad day because they had no idea what they would do beyond that. um and now for all of the other ones is 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 a 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 were imposed her earlier and said at the time to be temporary. i guess these latest restrictions and she should come as no surprise and i as i suppose people are now wondering what, what else 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 sad. you know, last night i was with my family including, you know, 2 young female relatives on 22114. and they will this actually turn to me and said

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 female educators of female and male doctors, male government workers of, you know, business like good 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. i was the sci fi in cowboy, a hundreds of thousands of people have turned out for the triumphant return of argentina's world cup winning football team. what is aries was flooded with fans waiting to see little messy and his teammates, streets were so crowded that team ended up swapping the planned open tom bus parade for a helicopter. flying crowds also benefited from
