u. s. built bradley fighting vehicles could soon be on their way. the front lines will look at what difference they could make on the battlefield. also coming up in the u. s. there's no end in sight after 3 days of political deadlock, republican congressman kevin mccarthy loses and 11 vote. the become speaker of the house of representatives. let us sit back comes despite concessions to far all night. and pope benedict, the 16th is light to rest. and a funeral ceremony presided over by pope francis asked the vatican ah meth. and he had walked into the program, germany and the usa. they're prepared to send the armored vehicles to you, cried after speaking by phone. the leaders of both countries said ukraine would be receiving german made mother and u. s. bill bradley fighting vehicles. the decision follows a move by france to equip ukraine with similar hardware. this is the air max t, n r c. it's a french light battle tank that's highly mo bile and fitted with a powerful gun. now to ukraine's delight frances donating some of these ahmed combat vehicles. to cave franks if awarded you, france, brings a new level of european defense support to ukraine. and i thank pres

u. s. there german leopard and there are the french and the british tanks, the laclare and the challenges or the late letter to have not been produced in the same quantity. so it would not be as easy to free as a certain amount. we've just heard zalinski talking about several 100 tanks that are needed for, for ukraine arm and between the german and the american version. there is not a big difference. i understand in terms of combat in capabilities. but the aprons are using more fuel and they're more difficult to maintain. it would require more logistics. that's what we've been hearing for the past few weeks. and that's why the germans are the favor. it. they have very good capabilities that designed to fight these soviet t 72 tanks that russia is mainly using. and there's a considerable number in a lot of countries. so it's success as an expert. a good is basically on the basis for it's a for, for why ukraine really wants this tank there is in, there are enough of them as ukraine weights for thos

and there was this air condition set by germany essentially that the u. s. also have to deliver their abrams combat tanks to ukraine and then germany could potentially and give its green light to sending leopard twos to ukraine of that potentially even sending it on on their own. so if ramstein doesn't deliver today, that would, of course, weaken the alliance. so with that, as the backdrop president zalinski has made his position very clear, stating that he's expecting strong decisions on for the arms export. but how realistic is it that we will get a strong decision considering the stand off between the u. s. and germany either sending tax well, i do believe that there will have to be some sort of movement. and you can look at this issue of the delivery of combat tanks and in 2 parts essentially. so the 1st part is will gemini, give its green light to other countries, sending the german made left 2 tanks to ukraine. there we are expecting some movement of the mayor of keith, for example, was very optimistic. he said he'd heard very positive signs coming out

u. s. there, of course, also strong supporters of former president donald trump. man, born given mccarthy has about 4 weeks now to change the direction of the country on twitter. he was counting down to this day when he said he could finally start doing that. what is that change likely to look like and what is his leverage in his own party to achieve that change that he wants to see? yeah, he wants to see a more right wing government to that looks more like a trump america. and he wants to see a lot of america 1st policies. mccarthy also wants to go after them a credit for establishing the general re 6th committee. and they want he and the republicans who support him. they want a payback for establishing the january 6th committee and for going after donald trump, they're also planning to establish their own committees to go after hunter biden. and that's the son of president biden. and to, to go after members of the general 6 committee, there are a lot of hearts writers who also would like to impeach a president biden and stay with us currently. now i want to talk

u. s. there being accused of fanning the flames of war as an a sentiment shared by brazil the necessarily day deep is a thing to me that is shared. but honestly, it seems to me that there is an alignment in terms of billing, which that is being used in terms of really pushing for these peaceful negotiations . and not only calling on russia not to have a part to blame because it does anything to lula. was clear in seeing that russia made a mistake in invading ukraine, but also to make sure that there is the pressure added there for both putting inc zalinski to be ready to think at the negotiating. keep going actually talk about what police might look like for both countries. and i think in a way of pushed by these at non allied countries to actually at which the west as well as the united states in helping achieve that in results. which will be, are they really not alive though, or are they somewhat closer to russia than to the rest of the countries? no, i really think that there is a team for bot

u. s. government. so there is a balancing act that benjamin netanyahu will be playing, dancing between trying to keep the hardliners in his party happy while at the same time. not trying to leap over those red lines of the u. s. government on the palestinian side. phil blink and we'll be trying to definitely have a conversation with president math. what about about reinstating a security agreement between palestine at the palestinian territories. and israel that has been, that was a that was stopped basically after a big rate in the west bank last week. so there's a lot to talk about, but the main agenda will remain, of course iran being a hot topic and of course relations between israel and its neighbors. russians, robi relations aren't particularly close at the moment. what is that likely to me for the over this current incarnation of the country's government? i'm not sure how accurate that is really of course there's a lot of talk and in the u. s. rather obviously, waiting, watching very interested to see wh

if you look at divorce this year, globalization is become a bit of a dirty word and there's no u. s. president here, there's no vice president, there's no secretary of state, pretty low key u. s. delegation is world as well. is the world changing? i think it is changing, certainly because of cries is also sometimes leaders within their own countries may not feel they're traveling to dollars. right now is their top priority. but let's be clear. the world economic forum this year, after the pandemic current and after the meeting and may, the corridors are full of people are here. i think it's a time of great insecurity uncertainty and globalization that has not only in the last year or so, become more contested. it's been an underlying debate about whether the kind of singular economic and globalization liberalization is really the best way in which a population of 8000000000 people can really exist together an operator get on this planet. so i think they're seeing a re calibration of what it means to bring development, sustainable development, energy security, poverty reduction into

u. s. government, there is a confidential secret. and then top, secret top secret is described as if that got out, it could pose a grave danger to the country. we do know that in the office here in washington, dc, we believe there were documents listed as top secret. we don't know how many were thinking about in all. there was about 20 documents now 25. so what they said is they've had that over to the department of justice. as you mentioned, a special prosecutor is going to take a look at get those documents. next. what this does though, is it just keeps the story in the headlines for president biden, who'd like to move on. but this is really been any the only thing reporters, the white house briefing have been asking about every time there's the new announcement, it leads to the news in the local newspapers. so it just shows that this is a story and a headache for the president, a political headache that possibly will be going away anytime soon. the u. k is withdrawing at some bassinger from iran are to tehran executed. the british

u. s. customs say there's more than 2000000 people crossed into the u. s. last year, half of them through mexico. meanwhile, only last week, washington now see it another security assistance package to ukraine. worth almost $3000000000.00. the overall aid provided to key by biden's administration is estimated around $50000000000.00, which includes man, terry, and financial and to support a number of republicans are increasingly questioning the large amounts of u. s. a. that being delivered to ukraine, emitted kit domestic problems ignored, and on the 5 let's, let's live now to american television host. i'm to compensate. just leave steve. my pleasure, steve. great to see if i've gone again for joining us now. about president wiley visit to the southern board. i mean, would you say, i mean, what would you say the immediate purpose of this trip virus? well, i think that of who's getting criticism from both sides. you know, you mentioned what the governor of texas said about the joe biden. he met joe biden on the tarmac when air force one landed in texas, and

u. s. where there is speculation that president joe biden might run for a 2nd term, but he's facing mounting problems on top of the classified documents scandal. a new republican majority in congress is on the attack. d, w, responded the electrician. that tells us why the latest political theatre in washington could have global repercussions do. biden's very own classified documents, scandal continues to unravel into a political drama. why fi material next year corvette? what were you thinking? in his defense, the u. s. president keeps repeating this one. com 9. people know, i take classified documents classified material seriously. the timing couldn't be, was spied and is expected soon to declare that he'll run for a 2nd term as president. this scandal offers political ammunition to republicans who now leave the house of representatives. they see attacking biden as their top priority. and val, that incorporation would come at a high price. so plenty of political drama in washington. so far, business is useful, but it could affect the rest of the world as well. the pressure on biden and the

there. thank you. roman and another development in the wall. germany of u. u. s. say there are now prepared to send armored vehicles to ukraine. the 2 companies leaders announced that ukraine would receive german made mazda and us build bradley fighting vehicles. the decision follows a similar one by france. this is the amex t, n r c. it's a french light battle tank that's highly mo bile and fitted with up powerful gun. now to ukraine's delight frances donating some of these ahmed combat vehicles. to cave france if awarded you are a fran springs, a new level of european defense support to ukraine. and i thank president my call for this leadership. we'll get more armored vehicles including french made wheeled tanks, which sends a clear signal to all our other partners. there is no rational reason why western style tanks have not yet been supplied to ukraine. it's important in order to restore security for all ukrainians and peace for all europeans. you will please zalinski has clearly been frustrated by the west's reluctance to give his country the tanks. he says it

u. s. policy. the u. s. government says there's only one china and recognizes the government in beijing, but yet biden sad of the people's republic moved to retake the island. he would step in. we are not moving, we're not encouraging or being independent to be clear, sir. us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes. while on the island, nancy pelosi reassured taiwan. that economic measures from the united states regarding the shipping industry would benefit tie one's economy and make up for increased pressure from the government of china. taiwan has already paid your visit and is likely to continue to do so becoming days and weeks. what concrete tangible benefits and you promised taiwan, offset the cost of your trip. went to the same time if the ship is taking place in recognition of our common interest. economically, we just pass the chips and signs at the taiwan policy act, or 2022. now sit before the u. s. congress. this isn't so much a pro taiwan bill as it to bill aim at retaliating against the chinese government. china has slapped a visa ban on a number of

u. s. agrees to send its own. while there is still the vision within the german government on that matter, yes, officials have insisted that washington has no plans to send us may tanks to ukraine for now. expectations are growing ahead of friday's meeting of the ukraine defense contact group session, and then abby's and silva, germany a meeting where the 2 countries might be able to settle the tank debate at least for now. what we thought was filed by political correspondent, benjamin l virus grover, and i asked him how ready the new defense minister was for this meeting with us counterpart. so was definitely pretty quick. he met the german president who also told him, you need to get started right away. then he had a phone call with his french counterpart and then the meeting that we just saw in the report there with air the u. s. secretary of defense, lloyd austin. but that's something that the german chancellor also stressed when he announced who would be his new cabinet member saying that his interior minister of lower s

u. s. will train it for the patriot. and are there any concerns as you look ahead to putting a patriot system in ukraine? are there concerns about having it connected to you. u. s. networks for their communications issues that you see the or the u. s. sees as a concern about this. thank you. >> thanks lita on your first question the focus is on this initial class certainly will will keep dialogue open in terms of any potential future training but but right now the focus is on training these operators to operate this system. and as i mentioned that training will focus on operations and maintenance of the patriot in terms of any concerns as it applies to us air defense or us systems. no no no concerns on that front. thank you. thanks -- >> thanks pat. so on the training front is there an update on the combined arms training of the ukrainian battalions in europe? can you confirm whether that's begun or whether it will begin around the same time as this patriot training in the united states? and just additionally is it still the plan that

and so i think that there are things rather than just say we're going to stop people using this application or deny access to the u. s. consumer. i think that there should have been more of a push. and i think we, we saw the beginnings of rumblings of that with, by dance being acquired by a u. s. company. what's the chinese strategy here? is it to collect data? is it to influence children? it's a good question and we don't have a lot of those answers. there have been people in the government who have talked about, you know, an interest by the chinese government in profiling. every us citizen. we saw, for example, the largest probably most significant data breach of all time, the office of personnel management or opm where millions and millions of government employees, all of their information was compromised. and this includes, you know, answers to polygraph, test, fingerprints, information about government employees and their families. and so, why would that information be so valuable? why would that have been a target? because when you think about us, it has really no you know, you can benefit less is fairly direct
