5:02 pm
the white house since the day that i was handed the gabble, a speaker for clarity, we need a clear articulation of the strategy to allow ukraine to win. and thus far their responses have been insufficient. they have not provided us the clarity and the detail that we requested over and over since literally 24 hours after i was handed, the gamble speaker, the house. and so what the by administration seems to be asking for is billions of additional dollars with no appropriate oversight, no clear strategy to win. and, and none of the answers that i think the american people are road. i'm doing now by r. t correspondence, steve sweeney in our studio. nice to see you, steve. so let us know what is behind this new aid allocation to ukraine? well, we just heard that from the speaker of the house, who was less than impressed with the lens keys pitch for more cash. president joe
5:03 pm
biden has said that he is authorized to $100000000.00. this is part of a presidential droll down with ortiz, and it means that a aid funds and minutes the equipment can be released very quickly to the front line. but in reality is not really very much money on the helping warnings that this to be the last of these such packages that can be issued now compared to previous i packages. now we're starting to see this lack of enthusiasm on this waiting support for ukraine. certainly from the united states congress now the us has given more than a $111000000000.00 in the packages of various phones to ukraine. those are the cost for 2 years and we should know that it was just last week. the senate has voted down this package, which would have included $16000000000.00 us dollars going to ukraine. now this has been a post the voted in congress from the sentence has went largely along policy lines with the republicans voting against. and the democrats voting for that bill. so it
5:04 pm
will towards the most of the 60 votes required to pause. now the republicans are opposed to this spending the citing of lack of strategy. they've signed to the lack of pins to go on the sides. and of course they are sticking to the guns on this, a need for strict to immigration controls. it must have them for support for the problem. but we're also seeing a shift now in the way that the white house and, and come at washington is, is, is seeing this now because as we, as we can hear by didn't, i told us that lensky and he appealed to congress. and he put it in terms of how does that listen to what you just says. here's the president called congress to do the right thing to stand with ukraine to stand up for freedom. and i want to thank you for being here and help the cause but of course, by didn't himself isn't really buying. this is how he reacted. when he was asked
5:05 pm
a question on ukraine's prospect, a victory on the bottle filled by jim's in a press conference. the mount washington. so he says the funds to ukraine, the drawing of these could run out completely by the end of the year. and of course, congress is closing down for the festive period for the christmas break on friday. so this kind of support is absolutely critical. stage, but many old we americans, they are opposed to sending this endless funds and more money to ukraine. i almost haul for them to put the i that has been sent to you quite and is it is excessive. that's according to a recent poll conducted by michigan university and the director of office and management and budget recently limited. not the united states only has
5:06 pm
$1000000000.00 left. to replenish is diminishing stokes. you weren't in october and back in september that funding was running low. you sent a letter monday to the speaker saying we are out of money to support you creating the site. this isn't a next year problem when precisely where us funding be exhausted. but we have is either a budgetary standpoint, we have about a $1000000000.00 left to replenish our own stockpile. so you talked about the shifting narrative. so what are the landscape prospect after this visit? well, so far it seems that the visit hasn't gone particularly well, because of lensky. he doesn't seem to be getting that cost that you wanted. but it's also worth noting that these criticism that is that lensky is facing back at home. there's now there's dwindling support among the public folder. ukrainian president. he's had these very public spots, a ways of it's how the eclipse go. the uh, the matter of the credit and capital key. i have who accused of lensky of sliding
5:07 pm
you claim into a dictatorship. he said he's lying to the public as well about the complex and he had a very public forwarding out with is a top come on development. whenever you, so lose me. leave me a call said that the conflict is a style might tend zalinski went public with his criticisms of it. now it seems as well that the appetite for this conflict is fighting amongst ordinary ukrainians. now poll suggests the halls of them want some kind of compromise with russia. of course, the zalinski regime has rolled out negotiations with russia. bucks now christmas is approaching congress, as we said, we'll shut down on friday. but it seems a christmas miracle is a long way off as it lensky. yes, that's for sure. save our 2 correspondents. they've sweeney. thank you very much. i . i am as cross. i have 2 political analyst and filmmakers. sean stone. hey, sean,
5:08 pm
nice to see you. so president biden announced that he signed a $200000000.00, a loan drawn, drawn load to provide military equipment to ukraine. what do you make of this particular strategy and how significant do you think this is at the moment? maybe it's significant for bite into a keep paying soleski for his silence printers detracted by the who template crime is because clearly we know that $200000000.00 is not a serious amount of money when you're talking about this type of war effort. and so again, it's, it reminds me of what, by and did with israel a couple weeks ago now where he basically, um, bypass congress by approving of of, uh, basically sending, you know, shelves, weaponry for, for israel's military. because congress right now is obviously blocking. installing is massive bill. so to me again i, i do wonder how much of this is just insight or information kind of presenting or
5:09 pm
protecting the binds on position as we know, the long tortured history with a hunter and in the, in ukraine. and polanski is certainly in a position to, to uh, to hold that information for blackmail purposes over over a job. but, well, the issue of political theater has also come into play. both leaders reacted unusually when reporters ask them whether ukraine would win the war. and if it could actually do it without us military aid, they actually laughed and answered with silence. what do you think about that? to me that's indicative isn't it prints. i think they may have been more honest and tried the tactic of the secretary of defense. apparently, he apparently told some congress people that if they didn't vote to support the war effort, you know, with the 60000000000 or whatever that they would, they would be sending their, their uncles and cousins and sons to go fight. so, i mean, this is very much been the position of a bite and in his,
5:10 pm
in his bullying administration. right. try to say, well listen, if, if you don't support this war, not that we're really gonna win it. but if we don't continue bleed russia, then we're going to have to fight them and you know, in the next front which the, you know, they, it keep alleging that it's going to be, you know, it's, it'll be another country after that, because put in is dead set on invasions, so this is all their narrative. i don't think that they seriously believe. and that's why the silence you're asking, you know, i don't think that zalinski or, or are joe at this point, believe that they can defeat russia. and that's why, more sensible congress, people are saying, hey, realistically, kind of deal and, and let's, let's find peace. it seems like we're hearing conflicting narratives about how all of this, when the lensky already met with us, senators republican eric schmidt and said he heard nothing. you, while democratic democrats of humor, called the meeting, very powerful and productive. so why do you think we are hearing 2 different things here? and i think it's clear, i think that again, we know that the majority,
5:11 pm
republican congress was the one that that's basically stalled this bill. this idea of a $100000000000.00 and $8.00 because they're clearly saying, look, you know, you guys want to send out of a $100000000000.00 to ukraine and israel together for their wars. we're not, you're not even dealing with the border situation in america. you know, you're not putting your priorities here. i mean, so you have a party issue obviously, between republicans and democrats. and it's embarrassing, honestly just the fact zaleski is, is here, and no one's bringing up. the issue of an american citizen, gonzalieras was being detained and potentially sentenced to prison in ukraine for criticizing essentially be the zalesky governments for making comments about the war that they decided was a, you know, in a very fascist, with it decided that this was a dangerous and they arrested him for this. this should be one of the major issues brought up in america. that fighting should, should raise with him if they want any kind of money. and it's an embarrassing and not just embarrassing it's, it's honestly it's, it's disgusting that they never brought this up as
5:12 pm
a quick pro quote for that money. how long do you think so? yeah, i say it's can keep supporting ukraine with what's happening. also in the middle lease, well it's, it's honestly it's, it's looking different. there's more in the sense because not only as america, as we know, we're facing all kinds of issues with, you know, that ceilings and then we're basically struggling just to service the debt. now you're talking $30.00 to $33.00 trillion or so dollars of that that we have to service. and then pumping out, you know, the, the bill of hundreds of billions of dollars they want to keep spending on these wars which have no end inside. it's not like this the last time if we send other 60000000000 to ukraine, that'll be what for the next quarter. i mean, it's not like that's the end. so how do you, how do you, how do you continue that especially giving american situation where we're lend, we're, we're borrowing bullets from korea. i mean, it's just, we're not designed right now to, to fight this. and we're not obviously physically doing it. but just militarily,
5:13 pm
our industrial complex designed to fight the for ukraine to support is real. i think, you know, one more conflict breaks out. i don't, i think that would be the breaking point for us. you would think political analysts and filmmakers johnstone, thank you very much. i and now to the latest from gaza were one of the most recent targets struck by the idea of easily un relief and works agencies school located in the north of the region. 7 so it, it shows a moment of the explosion, the idea of claims how mos infrastructure was uncovered at the school. we've requested a comment from the u. n. r w a who have said they cannot from, from the news until they get further information. we'll get you the latest updates as soon as we get more from the ground. also in northern garza is really forces earlier storm the come on one hospital and with the heavy gun fire

5:25 pm
this is a war that cannot be one as well, has already suffered a strategic defeat. actually, they last sale us using video on to 50000. so lots of friday dates support for is led to create a new misprinted with that all the under. i won't the onyx as well as the, the free people of this war. and they looked at the re sent that back to you and you, period. and then the, uh guess uh what its something does on the boat as well basis to continue to investigate. he is on this point. the house is $5.00 and so on, which it goes to the water crime and the award i goodness team. and so, and i, i'm good to use, i want the items here and i'm like it through the bank. it's also a bunch of stuff that i, you know, this causes that just the yellow bar to things all the time that i would, that's that support as well. and so that's sort of mix how the anger is nothing i want to the autopay, and this is the work with the which one increase more and more as
5:26 pm
a landscape demands more aid from washington. an upcoming fresh round of talks over ukraine's e u membership shows the growing gap. interviews with care of willing to do anything it takes to get into the blog or multiple you leaders see things quite differently. the old t various commission, the recommendations were implemented into ukrainian legislation. so we, we can jump, we condense, e for that is that is requested in addition to a check other than the european commission proposal starting negotiations on ukraine's membership. but this does not coincide with the interests of many member states, certainly not with hunger res interest. and we dare to say, so, no matter what pressure we are subject to, to have proposed. and i am proposing that negotiations on ukraine's you membership should not begin to build on any upcoming could just offering to dance and jump around to get into the you. why does he expect to have cleaners was sitting on
5:27 pm
a nice big red velvet couch with a giant cigar in her mouth just watching the show. sounds like teams on wednesday has euro zone confused with the euro vision. zalinski, the comedian can't just expect to dazzle cleaners, hello with is pat free hands, free piano play number and expect to get led into the you. she doesn't even sound like she's that impressed by you frame anymore. actually. she's being a lot more selective about her words. now, really underscoring over the past couple of days when talking about you frame accession. that if there's any move on that front at the block summit later this week, it's only going to be around the issue of whether you member states should even begin to have talks about whether ukraine should even be considered for membership candidacy. so not even about whether it should be a member or not, which sounds like the welcome rug is being yanked right out from under zalinski speak. considering all the gushing praise with which queen ursula vander line has
5:28 pm
loved bombed him for months on end, and which contradicted the actual report card issue last month by her own european commission, pointing out that no contrary to what teams was, is currently saying ukraine did not meet all of the preconditions for even opening negotiations. well, about joining the block. they only met 4 of the 7 preconditions and it still needed to be corrupt and the all archive for example. but there's no hiding the growing mass that ukraine is already causing for the you even without be your candidate yet . just the fact that last year the block allowed full trade liberalization. suspending import duties quotas and trade defense measures for imports from ukraine until at least june of next year 2024 has caused a real mess on the ukraine border from gary and tucker is upset about training and trappers. reading logistics in hungary have now joined sort of back in and polish
5:29 pm
tuckers angry with losing you markets to their, your training calendar, parks and they've been blocking the border causing weights of up to a 127 hours long whole and apparently didn't really appreciate the whole performance art and has gone about arresting if you had struck their protesters, but officials from other e country sound like they're worried about all the troublesome writing on the wall when it comes to cream. most european politicians wants to make decisions of this magnitude, despite these decisions not being properly considered an electron strategic coherence for the future of europe. we will not give into pressure regardless of from where and whom that pressure comes and their respective of what premises are made or blackmail is used. ukraine should not have privileges compared to the contrary supply and to join the repeating community. slow walk, you will not be on the list of countries. let's suppose to create a new a 3. we are ready to help, but not to meet with 3, because i do not believe in the middle of the solution and the conflict in ukraine
5:30 pm
. meanwhile, here on the ground, what does the average person dealing with in europe? well, there's no installation relief here in sight, in the block. we keep hearing officials here in france, for example, talk about how inflation has slowed. sarah, obviously trying to celebrate that as though it means deflation. when people are that stupid, they can see that their energy bills and cost of living are still going up. so where's the money going? well, some you parliamentarians have an idea. there is an elephant in the room, and that's the question apply. edu needs to raise all this money for it. so it's just cost a one trillion your old purchase 2 years ago. where's is all the money go? well, we all know where it went. be, you know, all the cash on war on weapons and now it's passing around a half for more. it's not your ceiling or sources. the commission has to mind to the member states.
