judge cordell: sure. the pressure that i felt being the first african american woman judge in northern california, really two different kinds of pressure. one kind is what i call the bad pressure. and that's pressure from individuals within the institution and on the outside who expect you to fail, expect you and want you, hope you -- that you fail. they have bought into negative stereotypes about women, about people of color, and they don't want their institutions to change. and then there's the good pressure. it's pressure from communities of color, from women's organizations and communities, who want you to succeed and hope that you will, expect you to succeed. so what that means for waiting -- judge brown jackson, the justice in waiting, is that she's going to feel these pressures. but we have already seen that her history is that she has survived and dealt well with these pressures. in fact, they have made her thrive. so we can expect nothing different from what she has done already, and, as expresse

doesn't seem to be any indication of any breakthrough in trying to organize some sort of humanitarian cordele, fully estimated a 1000 civilians trapped under that steel plot. and that's despite negotiating efforts by the u. n. trying to negotiate between cave and moscow. and the some lines that have come out of british military russia has been forced to merge and redeploy what it describes as depleted and disparate units from areas of the northeast of this offensive to try and try galvanized some kind of movement. and according to british intelligence, that movement is very sluggish. indeed, of course, 3 weeks ago that we saw that the move of russian forces from around the north of k to concentrate their efforts in this area. although they have been some territorial gains by russian forces at the moment, it's fair to say those gains are small, and it's taking russia a lot longer to achieve its goals in adult bus region. well, in other developments, keith is accused. russian forces have seizing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of grain from ukraine's east. the agricultural ministry says h

fighting. interestingly, the ukrainian deputy prime minister today again announcing more humanitarian cordele is one of which was supposed to run out of mariel to try and get some of those civilians out. but of course, we know how an successful repeated attempts at these humanitarian corals have been . there were other attempts plans for an attempt to get civilians out of the city of bare dance, which is west of mariel. and another town called talk mac, which is north scenario where we know that has been heavy fighting, also further east or further north of mary helpful. there were reports from the ukraine in socrates around the town of the region of lou ganske, telling ukrainian civilians to leave the area immediately to flee for their lives. and we also know that there has been heavy fighting around the child, towns close to the strategically important city of sla janski's. so it certainly seems that the beginnings of this predicted large scale offensive by russian forces, many of which have left this area around cube, could well be beginning now. all right, thank you very much. charles str

russians still, she saying the russians still refusing to agree on setting up some sort of humanitarian cordele to get out what we understand around a 1000 civilians trapped under that still works that giant great soviet built industrial plant where still there are ukranian fighters, ukrainian military in there, we understand that obviously the civilians haven't left and they're still fighting to try as the russians trying to clear that area of those ukrainian fighters, ukrainian military. so of course, great concern there still for those civilians trapped in mary opal. but as i say, there were still a lot of civilians tracked in towns around this area as it seems, the russians, russian military forces try and push toward slab janski's. well, russian president vladimir putin says moscow's enemies are trying to cause unrest in the country to limit its territorial gains in ukraine. it says is not working full. jibari has more from oscar, letting me put in, seemingly very directly at targeting the foreign media saying that they are extremists that are being their views being presented in the forei

ukrainians, yes. fighting on it remains to be seen whether this actually happens though, this humanitarian cordele to get those civilians out. because as we know, there have been many, many attempts to do exactly this many times before. and normally both sides blaming each other as you can imagine for shelling the whole so prevents those bosses getting into that city. thank you so much stratford reporting from the dumbass region. now the us, british and canadian leaders are all promising to send more artillery, an anti tank weapons to ukraine. keith is defending its eastern region from a new assault by russian forces. and if moscow is successful, then it could essentially slice ukraine in to. the pentagon has given further details about the weapons being sent. we have helped deliver, not just from our stocks for from stocks of other nations, more than 50000000 rounds of small arms ammunition of various calibers 50000000. and that's the kind of stuff that the koreans are literally using every single day instances invasion began. so all of that will also be factored into this package going forward.

whatever her need is a live person, keep what's happened order with the latest plans for humanitarian cordele. well, in shorts it was an yet another plan that had actually failed. and now, according to ukrainian officials, there were about a dozen buses that were waiting to get permission to reach the outskirts of my you pull, they were ready since 2 o'clock this afternoon, which was the agree time, according to your green official that did not happen. i mean, this has been a passion, i would say over the past few weeks has been extremely difficult to get people out . of marie polena has been really a trickle of people really managing to make their way out to safety. now as you were mentioning, there's a large number of people trapped in the as of steel. a plant there, that's where also there's the last, the last number of ukrainian forces. and he, as a freshman, that are making and that they're holding up, as you said, they're outnumbered, they're out gun. they are in a very difficult position. they've been actually showing pictures of all these people in the basements, and you'd be quite su

this humanitarian cordele should be established with begging for it. our men are also ready to leave the as of style still works, but only with our weapons in the hands. but to day, we're still negotiating this. while the fighting is now concentrated on the eastern and southern front lines, residence in other regions of ukraine are coming to terms with the devastation left behind. after russian troops withdrew, or dr. hamid reports and the not skirts of keith. driving out of keith, the trail of destruction is endless. this was the main road for the russian advanced towards the capital burnt out, buildings, cars and businesses lives in tatters. this bridge in it had been came to symbolize the flight of people under shelling all in a peter hove i was among them. it's her 1st day back and it's overwhelming. it is good to see what happened to my dream and the good news but very light. the most important for all of us and the craven right. we're both divide. brooke revival, this boy at the bowling alley she owned was on the frontline work. she shows us the

russians still, she saying the russians still refusing to agree on setting up some sort of humanitarian cordele to get out what we understand around a 1000 civilians traps under that still works that giant great soviet built industrial plant where still there are ukraine in flight as ukrainian military in there, we understand that obviously the civilians haven't left and there is still fighting to try as the russians try to clear that area of those ukrainian fighters, ukrainian military. so of course, great concern there still for those civilians trapped in mary helpful. but as i say, there are still a lot of civilians tracked in towns around this area as it seems, the russians, russian military forces try and push towards leanne sc or russ. as president bin while says moscow's enemies are trying to cause unrest to undermine its games. in ukraine, roscoe, which crises grew up, the other task is coming forward to break russia from within. but they can't do it because our society is showing its unity and support for our armed forces under efforts to maintain the security of russia and the citizen
