1:01 am
government officials appraising the aggressive achieving independence, we all agreed pest nigerian leave in the united peaceful fund for as far as the live in moscow, this is our to international. i'm rachel ruble. with us, the president has signed an emergency funding bill to keep the lights on in washington by the accused of republicans putting america in the precarious position of excluding new support for ukraine. but i want to be clear, we should have never been in this position in the 1st place. just a few months ago. speaker mccarthy and i reached
1:02 am
a budget agreement to avoid precisely this type of manufactured crisis for weeks. extreme house republicans tried to walk away from that deal by demanding drastic cuts. that would have been devastating for millions of americans. they failed. well, the speaker and the over, well me, majority of congress had been steadfast and their support for ukraine. there's no new funding and then disagreements to continue that support. we cannot, under any circumstances, allow american support for ukraine to be interrupted. i fully expect to speaker will keep his commitment to the people of ukraine and secure a passage of the support needed to help you crane at this critical moment. all right, let's get more on this now from ortiz correspondence in new york, caleb mountain killer. bring us up to speed with the latest on this stop. get bill . well, it was right down to the wire, but the government will not be shutting down. the 47 day extension that was signed
1:03 am
into law by president biden came after the us senate approved a deal that was finally reached by the us house of representatives a few hours before. however, in the lead up to the house of representatives passing that budget, that does not include any additional funding for ukraine at only extends the government for $47.00 more days. and the lead up to it. things gotten pretty wild on capital hill. here's the kevin mccarthy, the republican leader in the house of representatives, as well as marjorie taylor. grain reflecting on how crazy things got for side. all right, did you put america 1st? this all right for public and the democrats joined together to do what is what, what the student wanted to do was focused on ukraine in front of america. i understand our responsibilities, but i'm going to put america 1st. you create is not 51st day. joe biden treats you frame like it's the 51st dates the senate treat to crane like it's a 51st state,
1:04 am
including mitch mcconnell, he's one of the worst ones. and you've got the democrats in the house point, a motion to adjourn, pitching an absolute bed, and apparently pulling a fire alarm over there in the canon building. because it does not fun, you crane. now what margery taylor green was just referring to there was that apparently jamal bowman, a democratic congressman from new york, sold the fire alarm of a congressional building in the hopes that this would lead to evacuations and prevent a boat from proceeding because he was so determined not to pass this budget that did not include additional money for ukraine. there was a bit of desperation on the part of the foreign policy establishment in the united states saying that you have money for ukraine was not approved. it would lead to a victory for russia, jake sullivan, the national security advisor had this to say
1:05 am
a couple you, a couple days ago. i think we're at a moments now where are those who support the continued defense on freedoms frontier in ukraine need to stand up and make the case for this in the intermediate term and over the longer term. this is ultimately about us sustaining our support for ukraine, for the long term, for years, not just months at a different level, but nonetheless, for years, we are committed to making sure that we must have the supports in both parties and in both houses to get that done apparently, the strategy and goal of the by the administration is to continue funding and pro line the war for many years. however, it appears that political discourse within the united states has dramatically shifted. you'll recall that just a few months ago was zalinski was in the halls of congress getting the standing ovation and joint sessions of both houses. but his recent visit for the un general
1:06 am
assembly got no such red carpet or fans there. ah, zalinski was not granted the opportunity to address congress and opposition to funding of ukraine as increased as we just now see the passage of this expansion budget budget for 47 additional days preventing a government shutdown, but no new money for ukraine. this is quite a dramatic change and it looks like within the power structure of the united states, the forces that have a host continued funding and sending of weapons to here are getting new recruits to join their ranks and expanding their influence and opposition to the continued us funding and prolonging of the conflict is growing. that would be, what many would, uh, would, you know, conclude, having looked at, looked at what just happened to you, or even though the biden administration wasn't happy about it. in order to keep the government from shutting down, they were forced to sign a deal and sign
1:07 am
a spending bill with no new money for you brand. alright, archie correspondent, caleb mountain in new york. caleb, thank you. all right, let's continue the discussion with a former senior security policy analyst at the pentagon. michael maloof, who joins me now. michael, i was particularly surprised to find that it ukraine funding was excluded from this bill, but maybe i'm out of touch with what's going on with washington these days. what are your thoughts on why that funding was exploded as well? it actually was not surprising. there was so much opposition among republicans, and there was such desperation to get a bill for it for mccarthy, particularly to get that bill passed by the house. that even the democrats decided, well, we can always be returned to the ukraine re refunding and an issue. and debate that at another time,
1:08 am
but it was much more imperative for them to do that. and now to, to have that to let it go through. otherwise, the democrats would have been blamed for holding up, holding up the funding for, for the, for the government. and it certainly would have lapsed into a default. so it's, it's that clearly there was a extreme paula ticking. going on here, and a little hysteria. but it was interesting that not only at the senate, the senate was preparing to pass its own version. uh, but they decided to wait at to see what the house was going to bring over and uh, in mid about mid afternoon. but um, mconnell, the mind of republican minority leader in the senate said that the republicans would accede to the house bill. and then a little while later schumer, the majority leader of the senate. uh,
1:09 am
seeing the extent to which democrats actually supported that legislation in the house and decided to go ahead and and agree to the house version. yet if, if the, if the democrats had not been back that bill in the house, they would not have passed. because there was so much opposition by republicans and inside the that was going on. and mccarthy, basically what was very desperate. and he was also facing what mat gates out of florida might do. and that was to challenge his speakership after this is all sudden done. there was, there was an effort by gates to get up right after the vote to to, to speak. and he wasn't recognizing so we're going to see what's going to happen next week in that regard. but the mccarthy basically said bring it on if you
1:10 am
want to have, if you want to have a flight on leadership and just bring it on. so that this, this is going to continue florida. it's only for us as caleb says, for about uh, $47.00 more days. right. and then we're going to do this all over again. michael, the us president has accused republicans of what he called a quote manufactured crisis is this divided, but really just along party lines like we see most things in washington. and where do you see the president's call for continued support for ukraine going too well uh it is just uh, the polarization of politicking with them. washington. its, its out of fever pitch. they were under extreme tension to pass. uh, it kinda continuing at least something that would continue keeping the government open because people are really fed up. the american people are really fed up with one crisis after another by manufactured by this,
1:11 am
by the administration. they are faced with all kinds of crises right now. we just had a huge fire hawaii we have, we had the, we have the strikes going on all over the place. we got the ukraine issue. we have high inflation, higher gas prices. that are the people really are feeling these days. and all of this cumulative effect is people are just fed up with it and there's some question whether they can even hold up for another year and a half under biden, let alone re electing it. yeah, you mentioned that there was a presidential elections are coming up next year in the us. what are your thoughts on the connection to the the upcoming election and the current republican spans as well that there is that the tide is turning with respect to uh, uh, assistance to further assistance to ukraine. certainly at the uh, at the level its been allowed to be authorized and then appropriate it,
1:12 am
uh that the, the offensive counter offensive by ukraine was it was a business failure and, and the law makers solve it, the american people solve that. and now they were wondering what, what's the point, what's, what's the point of all this, and what's the point of view crazy. again, the administration never has given the ration at all the national security imperative to be engaging a proxy war against russia. yeah. that go against russia. right? and ukraine is dependence on american aid, as the landscape was just there in washington. and also in canada, lobbying for even more support. i would expect a kim to respond to this move. i think they're going to have to be careful. i think mccarthy did meet with zalinski in a, in a one on one. and i think mccarthy basically told them we got problems in the continuum. support, eat, and mccarthy himself doesn't support. plus you have
1:13 am
a republican lead house now and you before when he was here, a dressing. congress waiving the ukrainian flag on the, on the floor of the house of representatives before a joint session, which people were just outraged by that. only the american flag should be in that chamber and that, but that was under democrats. and now we're seeing an entirely different page having been turned and it's going to be even more critical as the months and weeks and months go by. and it's about bite and didn't like that bill. he shouldn't, he would have vetoed it. i believe once upon a time, reagan vetoed. right? uh, a continuing resolution years ago. okay. so it can be done. all right, we're gonna leave it there printed on former state senior security policy analyst, michael maloof. michael, thank you. pleasure. thank you. well as
1:14 am
a new day, don slovakia may be headed in a new direction. boating has wrapped up in the countries parliamentary elections while the ballots are still being tallied. preliminary results put the social democrats of the smart party, which ran on ending militarized support for ukraine in the leads right for more details as trust live now to r t correspond to charlotte davinsky and brought this lava. charlotte, what's the gap between the top 2 parties and the potential ramifications of the boat as well as the said, the post clothes last night. and we are now 98 percent just to in terms of the votes being counted. and we all getting a sense of what the political might could look like. in slovakia, we're expecting the full official results in the next few hours. but let me take you through those results. so false me. this is the policy that was leading in the polls pretty much throughout the campaign. looks like they've taken over 23 percent
1:15 am
of the vote and that would turn into around $42.00 seats and the national council behind them of progressive slovakia with on around not a 17 percent of the votes that would tale to $31.00 seats. and then the 3rd party last on a 15 percent. and that's 27 seats. now, some of the smaller parties which are likely to be more sensitive to a coalition with smith policies such as the k, d, h, which is christian democratic movement. and also this move, i can national policy, the s n s, and they both a change over 5 percent. and this selection meaning that they will get seats around $13.10 respectively. and that could play a really important part in smith being able to create the next coalition government he. in slovakia, no it's been an election. the brussels has been watching intently and i think they probably were biting the nails overnight as you the image that smith were had
1:16 am
despite those are the exit polls suggesting progressive. so vakio had taught the pole and that's because robot feet. so policy smith is campaigned on a move pro russian platform. he has said they'll be no more on them and to ukraine . he said that sanctions against russia are in logical and in fact has talked about those pointing back in europe in closing inflation hit in slovakia. on the other side, with the progressive slovakia policy, the scene is pro russel's pro need so they had really campaign. the platform was continuing to send weapons to crane off to the exit vote pose. came out on saturday evening. this is what the lead of progressive so like you had say like them to boy that you from the asking. yeah. i want to stay and see clearly that whatever will be the outcome of this election. progressive slovakia we will accepted with humility. we have done everything we could with all our knowledge and with all of our energy. and now whether the thing is only in the hands of the voltage. but this
1:17 am
does look like a rose on thing. when full smear, who are a head in the pose will the way we all hoping to hear from robot feet. so later on sunday about that went on to get a sense of who he will be looking to reach out to to make a coalition government for the next couple months. in slovakia. charlotte, well, i'm wondering what's the general sentiment there among the slovak people? well, it's been a very polarized campaign, pushing much polarized and divided on every issue that's being discussed with event was ukraine, whether that was migration, whether that was l g, b, t q writes because the policies, the 2 main policies, had very different perceptions on what they feel is bad to smith, who taught the campaign campaign don't traditional values of mother and father, and really advocated against the rights for l. g, b, t, q,
1:18 am
individuals and possibly even rolling back those wides. but really, ukraine was the big issue and not surprising because it's not a domestic issue. however, ukraine is a neighboring country to slovakia. and really that has been a discontentment over the last year. that's been growing in the way that slovak is last. government has been on and ukraine, this is what people have been telling us on the streets the the i will load for the parts. so you that is full piece, the supposed solving things in other ways than by senselessly sending weapons. the changing of the incumbent government is of most important to me. i was very dissatisfied with it because i felt the impact of sanctions on the people and don't agree with this government's policy in general. the work of the slovak for public scum room is terrible for those of now. we don't know the war and ukraine certainly didn't help us for the whole of europe. and the sanctions against russia are
1:19 am
absolutely useless and totally disastrous for europe. and those sentiments of really translated into the boots for the parties that campaigned a game sending for the military a to you quite when you look at who those policies are, they make up. arrived 92 seats. i took a $150.00 seats in the slovak national council, that's around 61 percent of the seats. so you really get a sense of where people's priorities are moving. and also the likelihood of where those coalition partners will come from to possibly create that new policy in government, which would be led by robot feet. so our t correspondence, charlotte dimansky, charlotte, thank you. the nigerians are celebrating 63 years of independence from the british empire. this sunday yours was and the jury is government secretary had to say about the significance of the day and what

you're going to have health complications. the bridges donald volume was king is an old. they don't care if we lose all lives. we have been suffering, we hate having them here in our region. the government should come up with safety measures and or the means of protecting the community from home for chemicals and explosives. they must teach the community and also pay compensation to the effect of the families. and they have engaged in sexual harassment. kennings destroyed crops and animals. many people here have health issues as a result of inhaling by chemicals. the british always think they are a superpower and they can do anything without being questioned by the people i suggest. they should also compensation to the effected families and tenure and training their own country. not tenure causes. the british have been exploding that problems in this area. many people have been injured. all of us have lost the lights. the u. k. government must know that kenny or is an independent country and we shall know to create a new color nice ation. so they must also compensation for anyone who has been killed or developed health issues as
1:27 am
a result of that training all over the past week. the canadian prime minister has found himself in a troubled waters for hosting a nazi collaborate and the country's parliament and giving him a standing ovation following the scandal just to ensure though it seemed to apologize for everyone else causing the up war while trying to stay out of the spotlight himself, wherever the opposition isn't buying his side, step take personal responsibility for this shame and personally apologize on behalf of himself. have all of us in this house on friday. finally take personal responsibility. the outgoing speaker took responsibility and resigned. as was the right thing to do, when will he started taking ownership for his failures and apologize for them? all. physician concentrates on personal attacks on me. i will stay focused
1:28 am
on building more affordable housing and delivering things like the grocery benefit and delivering child care at $10.00 a day under this prime minister. a nazi was honored in this place. the question is, who speaks for canada? and if it's not this prime minister, isn't it time for canadians to have one who will? but i think they're also interested in seeing who's trying to make partisan hay out . who's trying to look for games out of what was obviously a terrible, terrible mistake. the earlier apology of to the contained the claim that no one in the parliament was aware of one cause passed or in a tribute. a statement widely doubted by moscow was also expressed as astonishment at the pm made an apology to holocaust victims. while at the same time, continuing to sponsor your brain which has incorporated neo nazi regimens into its military, the russian ambassador to canada has said, russia may seek the expedition of bureaus love, whom god, while expecting
1:29 am
a more sincere apology to those insulted of the so called apology delivered by prime minister to low and the house of commons is not an apology at all. and these words are not enough. i believe that despite the deep controversies between moscow, in ottawa, amid the current geo political situation, the government and parliament of canada are obliged to find the courage and apologize to all russians into the russian community of canada. for the shameful incident that the whole world witnessed on september 22nd. poland is on the same page with russia regarding this also considering an extradition play for the assess the veteran war size set to investigate whether the 98 year old nazi collaborator is wanted for crimes committed against polish nationals. let's take a look back at where this all started the spiral for ottawa, the in front of a packed house of commons chamber, the elder s naked crane,
