gets harder. mexico titans, it's requirements for people traveling through the state of war. haka, leading to overcrowding, and desperate conditions at migrant camps. ah, i'm to call for like, it's good to have you with us. ukraine's president will let him use the lensky is in washington, where he's meeting with president joe biden at the white house at zalinski 1st known trip outside ukraine. since the russian invasion in february is due to address congress later. the u. s. is keys most important ally in the war, having supplied tens of billions of dollars in military aid. at of his arrival, the bottom administration announced another aid package for key, including for the 1st time patriot air defense systems. oh here now 1st from baltimore, zalinski and then u. s. presidential by just like brilliant all my appreciation from my heart,

the heart of ukrainians, fully grave from our nation. strong nation, all the appreciation to you. well, mr. president for your big support and leadership because you are many cockers helped us at all helping now because the worst door should be the button anyway, but that is your leadership. thank you. well, we're gonna continue to strengthen your credit ability defense, so particularly care defense. and that's why we're going to be providing you credit would pay to missile better and training are forced to be accurate. we use together our partners. we're also going to change pros cost on the kremlin and will support your credit for shoeing a just peace frames with great people in crane. we stand on the grid by with we have a famous thing with

a man of the year times a year in states of america is washington bureau chief in his pole is with me and in the studio, our chief international editor, richard walker. in it, i want to go to you 1st. president zalinski is holding talked with joe biden in the oval office. we saw there. it tells more about what you've been saying and hearing well, and the call president lensky showed again, that he really knows which buttons to press. he not only thank the american president for his leadership, not only in the us, but also in europe than he think. congress, which is so important to sign the bills for military aid. then as we just heard the sound bites, he delivered a very hard talk. thank you, from the average or ukrainians to the average americans. and then, and this is, i think, a very specific and very special for him at the end of this little prescott gathering

of the old office. he gave a cross for military mary to president biden, talking very briefly, but very convincing about the dire and dangerous situation. for the ukrainian sol shows, and with that he set a very specific tone for this visit on the one hand being very humble and thankful, but on the other hand, being also very aware of the outstanding brave most of the american army. richard, the u. s. has since this war began, been ukraine's staunchest ally, now the lens, his 1st trip outside of ukraine since the war began to the u. s. how symbolic is. yeah, it is incredibly symbolic. i mean, if we sort of been having a conversation about the situation 10 months ago when this war began, the thought that lensky would be able to stand on the steps of the white house. as a wartime leader visiting joe biden would have seemed very, very far fetched. i mean, in a sense he has travelled the world for the virtually,

during the course of this year. he's made address is 5 video link up to the u. s. congress to the board to start the parliament here in germany and to many other places. so beating that drama support, you know, getting international support, friendships being so, so important. and he's proven himself as we saw with his gesture the in this just mentioned that as an incredibly talented communicate. and i think going to be seeing more of that press conference coming up to where you have this dressel. so to congress and where we can see this kind of combined message of, of, of saying thank you to the united states for the support which has been completely essential to, to his ability to still be standing 10 months later. um, but also wrapped in that. thank you. is the slightly harder message of it? it's still not enough and this support cannot stop coming because if it does ever stop coming, then the ukrainians will be extremely vulnerable. yeah,

and there is quite a bit of discussion in the united states in as isn't there about whether or not there should be less or more aid flowing into ukraine, especially now that the house is going to be held by a republican majority. and what do you think we're going to hear in his address to congress later today? your rights lensky is coming to washington. really, at a very critical moment when the support for the crane war, among many from the hard right in the, in congress is starting to, to kind of we can. so he wants to ensure that also the new congress, which will be sworn in, in the beginning of january, we'll continue the support, which is so crucial, crucial how richard are just pointed out of in the war efforts against, against russia. so this will be his main task to kind of convince to reach out to those who are much more critical when it comes to spending so much

money or for the ukrainian support we heard already today. and the call that many republicans have already threatened that they won't hand ukraine a blank check, so he will not only address a joint meeting of congress, but also will have many bilateral talks to, as richard said, make sure that the support from the united states continues richard, how megan is a real danger that there will be less aid destined to ukraine and it's war efforts after republican state. that's why i think the, i think the risk is that a to ukraine increasingly becomes politicized. the in a congress that is divided in a republican party, where the search for the next nominee to run for the u. s. president. it starts to begin. so there's

a risk of this becoming really heavily politicized within the u. s. which is, of course, is of course, a significant risk. i think there's one other thing that i would, i would add, which i think would be interesting to watch out for from so lensky is not just talking about the amount of military support and financial support that he's getting. but also how to deal with the question of how this war ends that both in europe and in some course in the united states, you get voices every now and again coming up and that we're kind of phase of that now saying, you know, it's important to think about, you know, avenues if diplomacy of dialogue with the russians potentially finding a diplomatic solution. ukrainians are extremely alarmed by this prospect because they see that as a risk of essentially kind of drawing a line at the conflict as it is now. you know, in the lingo, freezing it where it is now, which they see something that will just give the russians a breather, enable them to rearm and come back and re launch a war

a year or 2 down the road. so the ukrainians really want support to keep going with this war to fight this war. not diplomatically but, but really, militarily. and i think one expression that we just heard from joe biden, in the meeting of the, in the white house, which i think will be something that salenti will be pleased to hear was, will support ukraine in pursuing a just peace. what is the just piece of it? we can hear something from zalinski on that richard walker here in the studio with me and it's fine washington. thank you so much. as we've heard, the u. s. has announced a new package of military aid for ukraine, including a state of the art patriot missile battery cave has repeatedly pushed for the advanced air defense system, which u. s. officials say will enable ukraine to better defend itself against russian attacks. but training personnel on how to use these weapons properly could take up to 6 weeks

and here's a look at some other source making headlines around the world today. not in recruiting has vowed russia will achieve all its goals in ukraine and an address to the fence chiefs, the russian president, told them the military would receive whatever it needed without the financial limits. will go to his grace crypto. it's changed, founder of sam bank, min fried, has told a court and the bahamas that he consent to being expedited to the u. s. to face criminal charges. as prosecutors accused the f t x founder of stealing billions from customer deposits, it can if convicted the 30 year old could spend the rest of his life in jail and always on soon rains have triggered deadly flooding in northern malaysia. at least 5 people have died. more than 70000 have been forced to flee their homes. flooding is an annual phenomenon in malaysia, but experts say climate change is likely exacerbating the problem. thousands

of migrants have gathered at the us mexico border waiting to see if the u. s. supreme court will lift a series of emergency migration restrictions, the restrictions known as title 42 place limits on border crossings to reduce the spread of cobra. 19, they were sent to expire today, but republican states have mounted a legal challenge to keep them in place. but even before reaching the u. s. border migrants now faced new transit rules in mexico, making an already dangerous journey, even more arduous, some $10000.00 migrants white for their papers and what haka in southwestern mexico, this family left ecuador a month ago and made a dangerous journey through dense jungle. the trip took its toll unless it's one and a half month old daughter. she has a fever and diarrhea and calon noise, but thoroughly it was unbearable travelling with a young baby, her breathing stuff as in hilton, she d hydrate. i mean that sad to see that ang,

and ways and think they treated us very badly. they took us off the bus saying that when they took the little little bit us get that i am in these makeshift tense doctors without borders, treat around 300 people every day. many of families with young children. they have breathing problems from sleeping outdoors when the agency arrived in october, there were more than 20000 migrants. it's coordinator helmer sharice wants the situation is getting worse. is that grand all? now? it is creating an admiration of people that come together with a presentation is the lack of food about access to water. that's not enough toilets simply by. you can create an outbreak or a health emergency, or while when i'm at hints, as anybody on the border with guatemala, the mexican government has imposed you've requirements on those transiting through

the state of walker on their way to the united states. but i haven't provided humanitarian assistance and less hello when i'm. yep. my wife suffered every day from fever, flu, annotate, chest. we cook over and open fire, aidan that flies and mosquitoes all over the food or la morkel, marketable be sellable, made up his own power of year and his partner have to bathe and wash the clothes in the river. then they spend the whole day waiting in line under the hot sun to collect their documents. there are as many as certain checkpoints of the 300 kilometer root saw, the solar linda and activist on behalf of the migrants says, the us is ultimately to blame kid in the us. if that is who they want to make the sound like what great colonel this you not to say jail where migrants have to stay on to say we are seeing that they want to keep them

back at all costs just kindred and they give them documents. but these documents are very short period of time out, ok, which is useless, or even if they allow them to go on to vienna, they sent them away late a must have a lunch. but despite the obstacles, almost no one is thinking of returning home. let's sit in a family, fled criminal gangs in ecuador. their only option now is to keep moving forward. tourists in the adoption city of luxor rose early to day for a spectacular sunrise. hundreds of people gathered at the 2000 year old temple of carnac, to witness the annual winter solstice. during the shortest day of the year, the sunrise lines up the axes of the temple channeling the light through the ancient structure. the spectacle left a invisible impression on many visitors watching
