[000:00:00;00] and so on, that is, in short, this kind of cooperation. it can be established today and at the expense of such additional organizational aspects. well, it is possible to reduce the level of risks, and since it is ukraine after victory, it will be very potentially interesting for investors. it is very promising. so that everywhere you can invest money and get a profit, today who is the first among those businesses that will take the best places today reconstruction of the country, i think it will get more profits, because i think that this interest will contribute to the fact that, after all, entrepreneurs will consider the possibilities of setting up even in the conditions of war risks, in the end, very briefly , will ukraine have to fight for the prolongation of the customs visa-free period with the european union?

the decision will be made easily and well, a priori by default well , here it is clear that you need to know all the things that happen in the process of negotiations, but actually today we are talking about the fact that the main components of the customs visa-free transport visa-free, now we are talking about electronic visas or digital visa-free, these are all components of the future european integration, it is happening, ukraine is happening step by step , therefore, i think that there should be no problems here, if they do arise, then they are the gates, friends, welcome to our evening broadcast, special edition today we will broadcast the briefing of the voice of america with a ukrainian translation live, and the speech of the american president joe biden on the state of the country before the american congress analyze, let's talk about what's happening in front of her and then we'll move on to the speech itself. my name is ostap yarosh and i'm yuliya yarmolenko. if you're watching this broadcast live on facebook or youtube, as always

, you have the opportunity to ask your questions in the comments. of our three-hour broadcast this evening, again today we are talking about the speech of president biden - this is the most important speech of the year - this is a speech on the state of ostape, what do we expect this evening, what is the schedule of this speech in general, what it is happening just now, as you asked, because we have a 3-hour broadcast, a long broadcast, and in fact, for the next 30 minutes , we expect representatives of congress, honorary senators, we know that government officials will also be invited, representatives of the government of the biden administration, the military leadership of the united states of america, representatives of the supreme court, and vice - the president first gentleman ah the first lady will also be special guests invited by the first lady by the way oksana markarova the parcel from ukraine to the united states will also be

to have a seat in the first lady's box today in addition to those guests there will also be other cats for the next half hour they're meeting in the united states congress then at about 9 o'clock and that's half an hour from now uh will be the start of biden's speech we expect at least yes, according to the official schedule , we are promised that the speech will last approximately 50 minutes , and after that, the president says goodbye to the guests, goes back to the white house, and after that, in about half an hour, we can expect a response from the representatives of the republican parties their response to joe biden's address to the american congress to the american nation is roughly the following schedule . today we expect once again the broadcast will last approximately three hours, one of which will hopefully be dedicated to joe biden's speech with a translation into ukrainian on this channel in this broadcast and the state of the state address as we have already said is the most important speech of the year president biden addresses two sessions

a joint session of congress and the senate but in fact he addresses the of all american citizens, because this speech is broadcast live on all tv channels and millions and millions of citizens can actually listen to what president biden is saying. what words does he address to them and it is clear that in his speech president biden is expected to sum up the past year but will also talk about what the policy of his administration will be for the next year and we also know that president biden has already been in office for two years and that is why it is such an equator, he can achieve success his presidency, but also what the leader will focus on for the next two years and is somehow expected to talk a lot about

internal issues, again about the achievements of his administration, but also a lot of observers draw attention to the fact that, in fact, for president biden, this will be an opportunity to once again state about the fact that the united states will be with ukraine until the ukrainian victory will support ukraine and as long as it takes and in fact we will see if president biden will take advantage of this opportunity i think that if we can now see what is happening at this moment in washington, we can show it to our viewers , now we will comment, we can really see already vice president kamala harris has arrived at the congress of the united states to the session hall, she herself enters the podium and we know that according to tradition, behind in the behind the president there is always the vice president present the vice president in this case who had harrizi you see now on your also newly elected recently elected speaker of the house of representatives republican

kevin mccarthy last time we remember when joe biden gave his first state of the union speech and in 2022, behind him was the harris camera and then something like speaker nancy polo from the democratic party. got republicans see now gather many yulia pay attention have ukrainian symbols comic code have johnny yes have ukrainian symbols also uh tie blue-yellow and a lot actually yes it seems to me that almost every one of the representatives that we now see entering the hall had other people's badges or scarves or ties. now i think we can add our kateryna lisunova to the broadcast, who covers the topic directly today in the congress , but that ostap said about kamala harris and actually we know what is really

sitting behind the president is sitting the representative or the leader of the house of representatives the leader of the majority to influence the representatives now it's like you said kevin mccarthy but also it's harrison's camera no only the vice-president and she also performs the role of the president of the senate because her voice is also decisive in the scenario and that is why the leaders of the senate and the leaders of the house of representatives sit behind the president when he delivers a speech and in fact ostap you also mentioned us we see live broadcast that a lot of people have ukrainian, a lot of legislators, senators and congressmen have ukrainian symbols and also as you said before, what actually is pala will be present as a guest of the first lady , the ambassador of ukraine oksana markarova will also be present and now i think we can add to the broadcast our colleague kateryna lisunova, who

is currently working in the congress of kazakhstan . hello, we welcome you. thank you for joining our broadcast. caught my eye, what can you share with us and our viewers ? well, perhaps the most interesting thing can be said that now there are a lot of journalists here, there is already excitement, everyone is waiting for the speech of the president of the united states of america, but it is also worth noting that everything on the capital hills is closed and to get to the premises where i am now was also not easy and uh, actually there is a lot of security, very strong security, and this is what makes this day different from others on the capital hill regarding the speech itself biden's speech , in particular, will emphasize the economic achievements that his administration has managed to make, and it will also be a unifying speech that will try to unite , in particular, the two goods of republicans and

democrats and push them at least so plans biden, as pronounced by the american media, they started to cooperate. and together, despite all the differences, who is the true republic, the democrats, so far, it does not look like what they plan to unite, as joseph biden calls , because before the very speech this morning , like the republicans, the democrats had speeches and press conferences in the congress, and in particular , the republicans criticized in advance the speeches of joseph biden and, in particular , criticized inflation, among the critics, there was also criticism of the migration crisis on on the border of the united states of america, and also, as the republicans claim, three bidens promptly dealt with the observation bullet of the republic of china, which was flying over

the united states of america in its farm , and today they announced that it was possible to make progress in many other issues, in particular , in issues of equality. me and the promotion of democracy as well as economic issues i suggest listening to these statements right now tonight in his speech joe biden must answer for his failed leadership whether it's the migration crisis that continues to rage on our southern border or the rapid inflation and more than 33 million dollars of national debt or the balloon from communist china that violated the sovereign airspace of the united states joe biden caused the crisis in america so americans spoke clearly in november our families they can no longer afford joe biden's failed far-left democratic policies , the republican majority in the new house of representatives has already begun work on behalf of

the american people, we will ensure audits and oversight of the biden administration and will fulfill our legislative duty this commitment to america a strong economy a secure nation a future built on freedom and accountable government i look forward to hearing from president biden about the amazing progress we have made in improving the lives of american families and also learn about his administration's plan for the next two years as senate majority leader under president biden we have been able to do more for the american people than ever before previously, all the bills that we passed, in particular, about weapons, about infrastructure, about the production of chips and the development of science, as well as the guarantee of equal rights to marriage, we did all this in a bipartisan effort, people ask how you will do all this. this year, i always tried to do everything bipartisan, achieving results is

priority number one in the senate and for this we need bipartisan support. of course, if we can't shave something off in a bipartisan way , we will try to do it ourselves because our colleague kateryna lisova is more with her too it was a perfect opportunity to speak after president biden's speech and after the actual response of the republicans to his speech, now we also wanted to pay attention to something else that american experts expect. what do they suggest we pay attention to? we can look at this story right now. this year's address is an opportunity for president joe biden to outline his priorities. in front of both houses of congress, the composition of which was significantly updated after last year's elections, a few days before the speech, the press secretary of the white house, karin

jankir, reminded that speeches are often recycled until the last moment, however, she says, some topics will definitely be present, this is the significant economic progress that we see under his leadership, his vision according to which the economy should be built from the bottom up and have a strong middle, this is the historic legislative acts passed in the last two years that create well-paid jobs for the middle class and provide real results for the people according to historian jeremy suri, this speech in which the president outlines his political priorities rarely dispenses with nonpartisan politics partisan politics matters for public policy, this is an opportunity for the president to set the agenda, formulate public pressure in a way that benefits him and his party, but also hopefully irons out his political goals . threats to democracy from the far-right are expected what the president

will also talk about russia's war against ukraine, as in a speech a year ago on the eve of a full-scale war, then biden said about the need for the event to help ukrainians fend off a potential russian invasion, banya also presented his legislative priorities, new laws on abortion, gun restrictions and police reform, however, this time the opposition republican party's control over the pay of representatives poses a challenge to the legislative initiatives of the presidential administration, the new speaker of the house of representatives , kevin mccarthy, who will sit behind during the speech, the president disagrees with biden about how to spend taxpayers' money, the republicans seek a significant reduction in public spending i say clearly we cannot continue on the same path we must change the trajectory to get on the path of balance how we achieve this must be the subject of our discussion and as suri says everyone will watch the reaction of makarki when he sits behind biden during speech, if he is sick, shows

his displeasure, looks irritated, then it will look like he is an extremist, and if he looks too satisfied, open to interaction with president biden, then of course he will repel the far-right in his party, a small group in the party and in the house of representatives who demand that he speak out against the president. this mixture of state and party politics, pomposity and bright personalities will be demonstrated during biden's speech on tuesday evening . so, what are the expectations here in the united states for the speech of the american president, expectations for the topics on which he focuses, it is expected that we will see and hear that president biden will focus on topics of the economy and the topic of domestic politics, but we also hope that we will hear his words about ukraine

and we will watch this very carefully. at this time of the year, many congressmen and legislators expressed their support . it was through their clothes, through the elements of clothing that had the ukrainian colors of the national flag or other symbols, and it looks like they are expressing this support this year as well with its appearance, including those who are going to visit , the congress hall is actually filled, we can also talk about another important moment of the tradition of the address and speech of the president on the state of the state . to watch with her about the speech, these are the guests of honor and those who become the guests of honor of the first lady. at the state of the state speech, they

actually represent the main points of this speech. they represent the messages that the president is trying to convey, in particular, that this year, one of the guests of honor of first lady jolbeiden will be ukraine's envoy to the united states, oksana markarova. ladies in particular this is brandon this is a 26-year-old haitian who stopped an armed attacker who staged a shooting in california will also be present as a guest of honor of the first lady of all stripes nancy pilosi what are you you know, before the midterm elections in the united states, he became a victim of politically motivated aggression, rudkoen, a woman who survived the holocaust, will also

be present, several families whose lives have been affected by cancer will also be present , and we know that president biden will also pay attention to his plans as he plans fight and help support the fight against cancer will also be in attendance as a guest of honor of the first lady bonhom e he is not only known as an artist singer he is also a very famous activist who helps boro with hiv aids and also with problems with poverty in the world, so these are actually people who will be present together with the first lady and it is worth expecting that it is precisely because of them that president biden in his speech will pay attention to those things that will be the main points of his policy for the next a year ago, it's really interesting to see how it materializes in the words of president bey in the studio, we also talk with you

and you join our broadcast , the session hall in the united states congress is also filled, let me remind you, in addition to congressmen and guests we invite you to the guests, there will also be representatives of the supreme court, and representatives of the biden administration, diplomats will also be present , and we can see the american military command now , general mark miley is also standing in the first row with representatives of the pentagon, including ah-ah kevin mccarth and now eh as expected, he also has an opening speech, where he will open this session next to him, kamalagari from here , the president of the united states, and traditionally in those places where they are always a-a, there is a vice-president of the league, the right side a-a and the speaker of the house of representatives on the left side of the fight, including now after kevin mccarthy, and kamalagaris, we can see that he also begins to speak and will also open the session, although we see that the session hall is not yet

filled to the end, guests are still arriving, in particular yulia we are not we saw that representatives of the government and representatives of biden's cabinet also came , but they were not in the hall, although the military command had already entered, and we see that most of the congressmen and senators are also in their seats, and we also know from our correspondents that president biden has already arrived directly to the congress building, but he is still not in the hall, as we can see, because first of all, as you said correctly, ostap , first of all, the members of the cabinet of ministers, in fact, of president biden's government, should come in, but the interesting thing is that one person who will definitely not be in the hall is actually a person who appoint who is the appointed successor, this is us, in fact, this is a member of the cabinet of ministers, who is usually transported to an unknown protected location for the duration of the speech, this is necessary so that in the event that

an attack occurs during the speech and the presidents the vice president the speaker of the house of representatives and all the rest of the chain of succession would be incapacitated this person would be able to lead the country in that case and this tradition actually started in the 50s due to fears of a nuclear attack but only starting in 81 the government began to publicly announce who i am appointed successor to the requirements for the answer to who can become this person and they are immutable, it must be a person who was born in the united states, who is a citizen of the united states by birth , that is, naturalized citizens how ot for example, the current minister of internal security, oleksandr mayorka, who was born in cuba, or the minister of energy, jennifer gringholm, who was born in canada, cannot hold this position, that is, such an interesting thing, such a tradition, which takes place from year to year and we can see now has archival footage from previous

speeches to e about we saw the state of the country on the screens and president bill clinton, president nixon, and president reagan in the previous footage , and every year i will remind you that such events are taking place, one of the most important possible the most important speech of the president to the american nation at the beginning of the year and the presidents address the congress sum up the year that passes and share their plans and their vision of the flight of the united states for the next year after which the party that is in opposition to the president and also the representatives of this party announce their answers now you and i are returning to the session hall and we know that already at this moment the vice president has announced the people, that is, the congressmen and senators who will accompany president biden to the session hall congress halls, we know that it is a tradition when there are guests of honor and not only the president of the united states, it has already begun, we remember it. when volodymyr zelenskyy, er, spoke at

the congress, this tradition was also observed, and they choose from among the representatives of the congress and those who will come in and now we can see on your screens eh also come in eh and representatives of eh biden’s administration including eh now eh came in if i’m not mistaken yulyu the first gentleman a-ah douglasfo in no no he wasn’t but again you have to look really who is on the schedule, here is where dak enkhov is now, you see on your screens , uh, after that, we also expect members of the cabinet of ministers to come and we can see it on markarov and bono, next to bono, just oksana markarova, and also after that the first lady herself should come of the united states, that is, douglas goffin, the second gentleman, after that is the first lady, jelbeiden, who

should actually be in the center of this box, and the first lady, where are they actually located, you see the guests she invited this year again i would like to remind you that the guests invited by the first lady represent the main messages that president biden has to announce in his speech . we know that president biden worked hard on this speech this weekend on twitter, posting in particular a picture of him before this speech with a cup of coffee and e and cookies now you see being prepared in the session hall to receive the first lady of the united states to meet and see the stages actually what we talked about a little bit earlier a lot of blue blue and yellow colors here we see very bright outfits on some of the congressmen of the competition in such bright yellow can you see her in the lower left corner now if i am not mistaken according to the schedule and the representatives of the supreme court

of the united states are supposed to come in, including now let's check if they really come in yes yes the representatives of the supreme court of the united states come in they have just been announced and so now they are entering the seats of honor also and the chief justice will be present and everyone else in the supreme court after that will be the first lady and after that members of the biden government we see with very passionate applause, they congratulate the highest judges of the united states, in fact, the branch of government, which branch of government, it is impossible to overestimate its importance, and after the congress , after the administration, the supreme court influences many important decisions in ukraine, we remember that he influenced he influenced such things as the legality of abortion, he influenced such things as the legalization of same-sex marriage , he influenced other important a-a issues for american society, such as gun ownership or a-a or racial issues or others

. that is, all the main precedents that created and american society in terms of laws passed through the supreme court, that is why its representatives really occupy a prominent place in the first rows will listen to the speech of the american president . she is actually in ukrainian coconut, she was also dressed and had certain ukrainian symbols on her clothes, we can also see elizabeth lauren if you look, she is in blue today in blue dressed and as we previously told johnny ernst, other congressmen, legislators, they choose to dress in colors that symbolize their support for ukraine, and also with gestures, he really said that now we saw how the members of the supreme court entered the hall and now it is expected that

the first lady jal will appear in the hall -babis, meanwhile, the president is greeted by her husband and we see the first lady jal biden also enters the session hall, they greet her now with applause, friends remind us that we are now waiting for president biden's state of the nation speech the state is the most important speech of the lesson, here you see how the first lady greets the second gentleman and enters the hall to the first lady's bed, where her guests are waiting for her. again, let me remind you that among the guests, as you can see, is oksana markarova they have been invited for the second time and this, as they said in the white house, symbolizes the support of the states of ukraine, which only continues together, there are also bono , musicians and artists who are also a great

activist in support of the fight against aids , and now other guest members are actually coming of the cabinet yes the biden administration so all the key ministers we see anthony blinken so he goes in first e-e congratulations to him like and autumn and the minister of defense of the united states many of you know him also e-e closed anthony linkin and did not see among themselves because the minister of finance hoped also oleksandr majorka with the minister , the minister of internal security of the united states enters. and the american congressmen greet them with applause, and we see this. the tapes of the honorable members of the administration who are now coming in. i think many of you are familiar with the initiatives a that they are promoting in support of ukraine, of course, and still the pentagon's military support for anthony blinkin, the diplomatic support

of alejandro-mallorca will work to bring russia to justice from the legal side. this is the secretary of justice of the united states. i'm sorry. it was not alejandro majorca. it was mary garland . it was the united states attorney general alexander majorca. who perform daily work a-a in order to support now, by the way, jena raimond to jean raimond, who was actually last year and how to correctly translate yulia into ukrainian , we translate a person who is not present in the hall during the speech who is placed in an unnamed location in protected and the purpose is such that if there was a deadly attack and the president , the vice president, the speaker of the house of representatives would not be able to perform their duties, then this person would be their

successor, again this tradition which appeared in the 1950s, when there were fears of some kind of nuclear threat, and now we are still waiting to see who is appointed this year, and we can see that marty volzh, marty volzh, is the minister of labor, the minister of labor this year, he was named this appointed successor . who will not be in the congress during the speech, will not be in this building, this is a person who is going to an unnamed protected location to again ensure the succession in case something happens and the president of the vice president and the speaker of the house of representatives and other members of the cabinet cannot fulfill their duties responsibilities, this is again a tradition that happens every year. now, before that , the minister of infrastructure saw
