ah yes, on really good morning. the the world as you've never seen it before. dr. now, he d w documentary ah ah, this is d w. news coming to you live from berlin. loved me zalinski, to pay a surprise visit to the united states. it's the 1st time the ukranian president has left his country since russia invaded in february. also coming up the taliban, imposed new restrictions on the rights of women by banning them from attending

university afghan girls. tell our correspondent the future has been taken from ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us all oguio zalinski has confirmed media reports that he's on his way to the united states. the ukranian president is expected to meet us president joe bry bite nan to address congress. it will be his 1st trip abroad since the russian invasion. it's thought that washington will use the visit to an else the delivery of more advanced weapons to ukraine. president zalinski has taken every opportunity to appeal for more money, aid and military support since the start of the war in the 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. the 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 cranium. presidents unannounced visit to the front line to meet troops in the city of back loot that he handed out towards the 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. you are grateful for their support, but it is not enough with 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. or washington correspond makella cookie is covering the story mikaela. what sort of expectations are there in the us regarding silence is visit was that the, i mean, this is understood as very strong symbolism and as is meant as such towards rasa

where after all, vladimir putin is addressing his chief commanders at this very day that voted miss lensky is actually daring to leave his country for the 1st time and 10 months of wool. so that is quite a symbolic act. and we are also learning from a senior official this and that there will be a sit down with joe biden, an in depth, strategic talk. and that's the language that was used to discuss the way ahead of course, or with an eye on the u. s. budget. in congress right now, the u. s. is ukraine's biggest fund and it wants to remain as such. that certainly what divide once and he is set on fulfilling his promise of doing whatever it takes to keep ukraine independent and a free country. but overarching, this is strong symbolism with key announcements of a patriot defense system, a to be sent to ukraine. that is also

a key method to was russia. u. s. of course sir has played a key role michela and helping ukraine defend itself, but it's very costly. is it clear that congress will maintain its massive level of support moving forward? well, that's also a question that was put to a senior official here. and this visit was then described as an important injection of the momentum of u. s. support. the u. s. is set on remaining. that key is supporter of ukraine. to buy this val time and time again to be the political leader rallying world leaders there. but there is more debate in congress now despite the fact that after some 50000000000, already having been sent ukraine's way more than of 40 of 1000000000 are in that new budget that is due to be decided. so it's very timely. we could see all of this

happening within the space of one day here in the united states. and that's also why voting is it in ski stressing that he wants to thank the american people for their support with the awareness. yes, most americans are in favor of backing ukraine, but in times of high inflation and pressure here on the pockets of americans, that is by no means a given mckayla. thank you very much, shar, corresponding killer crypto there in washington. or as we've heard, president barton is expected to announce a new package, military aid for g of in that budget. it will contain what one u. s. official called a very important new capability, namely, a patriot missile battery system. the official said this weapon will enable ukraine to better defend itself against russian attacks. moscow, so supplying ukraine with patriot missiles will have repercussions. the patriot is a highly effective surface to air missile system. it would be the most advanced

system provided by the west to help you crane repel russian attacks. it typically includes launches along with radar and other support vehicles to help you, craney and forces knock out even more of the missile hitting towards the cities. but russia says, sending patriot missiles to ukraine would be an escalation with consequences. not yet in 5 years. we strongly advise those who make decisions and washing up to finally listen, perhaps not to us, but to themselves, and draw the right conclusion from our repeated warnings that any weapon systems supply to ukraine. including the patriots him, along with the person and servicing them. and move, remain legitimate priority goal. so now for the russian armed forces, one minute to freedom, it was on the receipt before the patriot can be deployed, us troops will 1st have to train ukrainian forces that would take several weeks and

most likely happen in a 3rd country, potentially germany like any weapon it does have its limitations, but for ukraine, which is long asked for the patriot to help defend itself getting it will also demonstrate more support from the west and carry a lot of symbolism over more of a spring in military analyst mike martin. like, how soon could we see patriots deployed in ukraine and how much of a difference could they make? i mean, this is going to be in the new year. the training part is quite a complex system. and so the training pipeline, even if you cut it down, would take at least a month or 6 weeks. the difference, it will make, well, a battery comes with 4 launches. so really what that's able to do is to defend at a point rather than an area. so perhaps maybe he wouldn't hans defensive key or

another city, but it's not going to give blanket coverage across the whole of ukraine. there's talk michael rusher preparing another major offensive, possibly a ground offensive with the help of belarus or ukraine's allies, giving keep the kind of hard where it needs to repel such an offensive. and i have to say, i think that's offensive is a fantasy, because you create a story. russia doesn't have the capability to open up another front in ukraine. but let's assume for a moment that it is going to do that. i do think that you train carnie is receiving the types of weapons. it needs to report an offensive like that. although we have to be careful of amounts for president lens, he said it's costing $5000000000.00 per month to keep russia in the war. and we need to maintain those levels. otherwise, ukraine may suffer some setbacks or speaking of setbacks. we've seen ukraine's

infrastructure being extremely vulnerable to russian drone and missile attacks. can ukraine continue to endure that over the long haul? yes, i think it can. and what we're seeing is russian attacks on essentially civilian infrastructure and, and russia is doing that because it thinks that it will be able to get the ukranian population to break and give up. but actually what we seen is that these attacks of cause the ukrainians to rally round. if you speak to you cleaning civilians, their view is well if they're destroying our infrastructure, we have no choice but to fight. we will continue to fight and we will win. so it's having the opposite effect to what russia intends. ok, mike, thank you very much. military analyst, my clicking there now to afghanistan, where the 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 militant group seized power last year. the united states and the you to you and have condemned to move saying it will bring further isolation to the taliban government. but they appear indifferent to the international outrage. the news comes as a huge disappointment to thousands of afghan women and girls, especially those who took their university entrance exams just 3 months ago. it further restricts woman's access to formal education. after already being banned from secondary school, at the united nations, there was condemnation of kenneth sans 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 se 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 job. and we have seen since there take over and also in the past months, just a lessening of the space for women are not only in education, but access to public areas and 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. the united states says it will do its best to hold the taliban to account anyway,

it can and in the strongest harm, this unassigned 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 in society. a lot of outside assistance may be hard to come by. journalist, early ltv and cobble told us how the telephone latest moved to restrict women's rights as being received. and i understand none of this comes as a surprise just given their track record. and as you said, given what they've said and done dot bar. but that doesn't make the blow any less powerful or any sad. you know, last night i was with my family including, you know, 2 young female relatives, 122114. and they also actually turn to in how long we're done. this is that there's

nothing left for us, you know, any chance any hope that they had of doing anything, making anything. and these, these are the daughters of female educators, a female and male doctor, the male government workers of, you know, business 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 realized what the impact of all of this was in argentina, hundreds of thousands of fans turned out to welcome their national football team home after their stunning world cup victory and cato. when osiris was flooded with people waiting to see leonor messy and his teammates, but the streets were so packed that the players were forced to disappoint many fans

. swapping the planned open top bus parade for a helicopter fly. just reminder at the top story, we're following for you this hour rollover meal. zalinski has confirmed media reports that he's on his way to the united states. the ukranian presence expected to meet with us president joe biden. and to address congress. it will be his 1st foreign trip since the russian invasion you're watching dw nos stephen beardsley is here with business next. i'm terry martin. i watch people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center and more refugees are being turned away and the board families flee. velma tanks inferior to the credit don't even if we know against them with trade of people fleeing.
