let's begin this hour with jill biden's visit to ukraine. cnn's kate bennett is traveling with the first lady. i'm curious, why did the first lady think it was so important to go to ukraine, take the risk that would come with that, although no doubt there is heavy security. why was this so important for her to do this and meet with the first lady of ukraine on this mother's day? >> well, first and foremost, she wanted to go to this part of the world since the war began, she's been very affected by the images she's been seeing. this trip to romania and slovakia has been planned for quite some time to visit with refugees, especially mothers and children. she wanted to do it around mother's day weekend and make that connection to the fortitude and the courage of these ukrainian refugee mothers who left their country with just their children and very little else. now, the portion with first lady of ukraine, elena zelenska came in only about ten days ago when she reached out to the white house of the east wing and said she wanted to meet with dr.

jill: this is an interesting aspect of this new government.hink the heart of this government will be the continuation of liberal party's at times fairly brisk attitude towards china. i don't think there will be much enthusiasm for renewing a close relationship with the chinese government. on the other hand, we have an incoming foreign minister with chinese heritage, so that will be an interesting new element to foreign relations in australia that we are not quite used to. making predictions at this point feels incredibly tough. shery: this election, how much was it a choice about personalities, whether it is scott morrison against anthony albanese question mark and what kind of leadership can we expect from this new prime minister? jill: i think this is about personality as much as anything. policy platforms of the two parties are really remarkably similar. it does not seem to have been a referendum on economic policy. just last week, the outgoing treasurer announced that we have an unemployment rate of less than 4%, which is historically low

jon: jill, let me bring you back into the question as we begin the six week of selling and if we wereo see the year end target that you talked about, which obviously would suggest a year-end move in stocks above where we are now, talk about some of the bright spots in greater fashion. we are pretty familiar at this point with the negative headlines driving stocks lower. jill: avenue gina mentioned, we have seen the downside in the nasdaq earnings revisions trending down where, we have seen revisions for some of the good exposed parts of the market, autos, housing, revisions more negative there, versus we are seeing good momentum and upward revisions to the service exposed areas. small caps are one area that has been a relative bright spot in the fundamental picture and small caps are more similar to the makeup of the u.s. economy. may have seen in figure earnings beat and much better guidance and incorporate guidance we have seen weakening progress. that is one area where i think a lot of the risks have been increasingly more so reflected in valuations. small caps are cheap versus lar

here's jill biden doing what jill biden does best. get this, being a compassionate, loving human being. why do i bring this up? i bring it up for two reasons. one, richard haass, it is so important that that face right there is the face of hope coming from america to ukraine. and that's a face that we see back here, of these children on mother's day, separated from their families. it is also important for ukrainians to see america's first lady over there. to know that the president's wife, the first lady, has come into a war zone and is going to be coming back and telling the president that this is a country that is in need of continued support. not that the president is not supporting them now, but just being with her every day, someone who has been to ukraine, someone who has been to the war zone, someone who knows the personal toll that this war is taking on the people of the country. in a way that even the greatest secretary of defense is never going to learn in his briefings or the greatest secretary of state. >> absolutely so. y
