u. s. congress moving ahead. this 40000000000 dollar package has been approved, providing us aid to ukraine. now it's important to note that in previous aid packages, united states is sent to ukraine. they specifically specified that the as our battalion, this openly nazi division of the grainy and military could not get any weapons or support from the united states. this is the language that was previously in usaid packages. you grant none of the funds made available by this act may be used to provide arms training or other assistance to the off battalion. now what's particularly disturbing is that this recent package does not include this language, does not specify the as a battalion cannot. ready receive assistance from the united states. what more it appears that weaponry from ne dell has apparently ended up in the hands of the battalion already. you look at the battalions official, twitter, they seem to be highlighting weapons like a matador. ready which is an anti tank weapon that has been among the weapons

u. s. president says is nearly exhausted. that's why the president has asked the u. s. congress for another $33000000000.00 in economic humanitarian and military aid. the u. s. congress, according to how speaker nancy pelosi said to approve that package, which is size more than double. that is expected to be approved some time next month. as she's anticipating a vote on bad and to be signed into law sometime by the end of june. so i, again, we're watching very carefully for the president assigned this latest bill into law . and it is definitely designed to send a message to vladimir putin on a very timely day. okay, kimberly, how can it the white house? thank you now. so to come here on al jazeera, a tragic life captured and vibrant color. the staggering price expected for andy will house classic portraits of marilyn ah well it may, it should be blooming in europe and it is, is getting warm actually. i mean, it looks like a lot of clarks from across the bridge out. maybe scandinavia and things aren't quite as warm here, but for most of europe, even the shower dying down there ar

u. s. congress in kentucky. you're welcome to the program. you're not in the g o p, but are you one of those so named isolation, that's voices. well, i, i am not aware that there are any isolationist in the united states, but thomas jefferson talked about that he said, trade and mutual goodwill with all countries and tangling alliances with 9. so if you want to call me and i shall lation as i would be, a thomas jefferson, isolationist right. president biden has been came to shift responsibility for rising cost and inflation. and on to russia, jeffery, calling a price hike. is that for? do you think the american people are buying it? well, it's completely false. in my opinion, the main causes of inflation are very long standing policies of the united states and congress. and i would list 3 of them. 75 years of grossly excessive spending by congress on i needed weapons and illegal unnecessary wars. number 2, incomplete incompetence of the so called federal reserve for the last 15 to 20 years or more, also known as the fed. and 3, the reckless f

u. s. president asked for $33000000000.00. well, the u. s. congress, which controls the purse strings in turn approved $40000000000.00, and that is what the president signed into law. in other words, the congress wanted to send the signal, look at, we are not only going to prove this money, we're where to send more than what you ask for, which is something that rarely happens. and that is the reason why it was to send vladimir putin or message that there is overwhelming support in the united states for ukraine and pushed back against russia. and in terms of what this money is for, it's not only to kind of back fill the money in the equipment that has already been sent. but in addition, there is also going to be new military equipment in the form of stingers and, and javelins, but also training and logistics support. and also there's going to be 5000000000 that's also going to be allocated for really addressing one of the growing needs. and that is global food insecurity. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says the situation and don bass is extremel

u. s. congress passed as a $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine. the 1st such package that doesn't forbid the supply of weapons to the nationalist as all battalion. also coming up on the program. the decision of one man to large a holy are justified and brutal invasion.

u. s. congress have held a moment of silence to month, 1000000 covey, 9000 deaths in america. it's the highest toll of any country, and makes up nearly a 6th of recorded death world wide. they with us, for witness. we understand the differences americans have cultures across the world. so no matter how you take it out, 0 will bring you the news and current affairs that matter. a 0 ah, okay. i show a child that i might not match on with a with a with a bad the data walker. that old is on a sunday just ready to be modest on for you to sean. my solution want to dash one. it was, i stay at that how to so c, h p more to sun and chevy area to see each be monitors a is that she had to be modest and i got the mean a half. so you should say that it'd be more of a quote on a porch with it as my husband just sat eat to talk about that. so i want to add you to battery data. want to be moderate or no, he all my different bias. mendoza thought about that. oh, it was a sham john. only to that in beast resurrected this was i want to hobby and nibbles and getting a medicine trying you know wha

u. s. and warned congress not to give us fighter planes. this year we were supposed to have a strategic council meeting, but from now on there is no one called mid. so touches in my book that i will never accept meeting him because we only walk on the same path as politicians who keep their promises. who have character and who are honorable, will you please also note the last thing. the last thing that made to meet at a time, one or focus, is on helping ukraine defeat russia's. aggression is another source of instability on nato's southeastern flank. and ask you to take this into account when you make defense procurement decisions concerning the each submitted to well, as you be aware, they to nato members have been at loggerheads for decades over more time and energy issues that defined it island of cyprus. and most recently migration rich of ty, berto on, also expressed concern about nato basis, being built in greece, turkey thinking a stance against sweden and finland to currently opposing their nato membership bit . it accuses stockholm

u. s. allies who are specifically acting in defense of us national security. that as legislation did pass with overwhelming support from the u. s. congress. however, there were a few members who spoke out and warned the new and unprecedented powers that the u . s. will be giving to ukraine. congress just authorized biden, to transfer virtually any weapon of war, other than a nuclear weapon to ukraine. insane. here is the link to the bill and the statutory definition of defensive article, the bill references i voted no. now this all comes as the by an administration has already signed off on more than $3700000000.00 and funding for ukraine is calling on congress for an additional $33000000000.00. 20000000000 of that will be given directly to the ukrainian military. now this legal aid is new and unprecedented, and it's also reason concerns about whether the u. s. will still have weapons to defend itself here at home after it's done sending off supplies to ukraine. we just burned through 7 years worth of javelin, and that's not only important as we continue to try and help ukrainians when in ukraine. that's important as we try to simultaneo

u. s. congress, at least on the part of some democrats. and i should say, some conservatives, but not all. that this might be the sort of the tipping point that would get people behind, at least banning these high caliber weapons that lead to this mass carnage, such as we saw in texas just 24 hours ago. right? the n r a. kimberly the biggest you has gotten lobby's holding is convention in texas in just a few days. how do we expect them to respond to this latest shooting? well, they haven't responded yet, and i imagine that they are certainly going to have some difficulty given the fact that this convention is taking place in the very same state where this tragedy occurred. we know that one of the senators ted cruz who represents texas as well as the governor, will be in attendance and also former president donald trump. so certainly these are all advocates of protecting the gun lobby. we also know that when it comes to the position of the national rifle association or an array, that in fact, well, they haven't spoken about this tragedy, pa

u. s. sen visited time pay for near here i was here. last july, sen duckworth was one of the main sponsors of the taiwan partnership act, which received bipartisan support in the u. s. congress. as a result, the u. s. department of defense is now proactively planning cooperation between the u. s. national guard anti ones defense forces. sen. duckworth also recently introduced to build the further prioritizes taiwan security. as part of u. s. military deployment in the indoor pacific region. as roles, defense minister says it's time to consider designating fall right wing israeli groups is terrorist organizations follows an ultra nationalist march through hebron in the occupied westbank on monday, leading to an incursion of the abraham me most compound the day before von ins broke out during israeli flag de marches in the miskin corso occupied east jerusalem. among con, tells us more about who may be targeted in such a terrorist as if nation. the 2 groups he's talking about all the hava, and um, la familia, la familia, is a football, hooligan organization. there's no other way of describing them other than that. they follow jerusalem bass hard, but they've been accused of rac

u. s. congress is sending is just the opposite. in fact, the white house of the asked congress that controls the purse strings for the united states for $33000000000.00. instead, it sent even more than the white house. it asked for ultimately, the president, sending it to law $40000000000.00 package going to ukraine, again, sending that message to vladimir putin. but as long as ukraine needs support from the united states, it will receive it. and then so, and as you point out, largely this is to support the military to push back on the war machine from russia . this will not only be in the form of new military equipment, but also to replenish the stocks that have already been sent. so this is a significant package, and what's also significant about this is the fact that it, for the most part was overwhelmingly bipartisan in its approval. not just in the lower house of representatives in the u. s. congress, but also in the upper chamber of the senate. which is pretty rare in washington these days. the fact that this was overwhelming

u. s. congress. as a result, the u. s. department of defense is now proactively planning cooperation between the u. s. national guard anti ones defense forces. sen. duckworth also recently introduced a bill the further prioritizes taiwan security. as part of u. s. military deployment in the indoor pacific region. 10 days after australians voted in a general election, it's been confirmed that the labor government has secured a majority in the lower house of parliament. it means the prime minister, anthony albanese, won't have to rely on independent and peace to pass legislation in the center left leader campaigned on stepping up australia's climate commitments and setting up a new antique corruption commission. the president of peru says that he'll bring in a law to end immunity from prosecution, the senior government officials, but at the same time, federal castillo as rejected the investigation against him for alleged influence. peddling, he denies corruptions, accusations, visiting heat in her eyes. yeah. if they want
