a warm welcome to the viewers around the world. unlike low to us lawmakers or preparing to hold a crucial vote on aid for ukraine. the us has been ukraine's biggest back or in its war against russia. but congress has not approved major funding since last year. mainly because of bickering across the line or is late and the credit lawmakers in congress have been pushing for a major new weapons package for ukraine for much. but republican hardliners have been reluctant to provide funding to key in our 20. they're now appears to be cross party support for a $61000000000.00 package of the ukrainian forces on the front line have long to rush and they run munition right now. they're being out gunned by the russians in the eastern done yet. so region, president,
4:02 pm
lot to me is it lensky signed his troops this week in the in bottle of toner chests . if you out, which you cranes as russia, asians to capture in the coming weeks. he could handle metals for the bravery, but not the tools to do the job. so landscape has long appealed for more military aid for front line forces and the defense systems to protect cities like hockey's, ukraine, 2nd largest cities suffers almost daily attacks. we've agreed you me said zion ukraine have been waiting for months for this. michael support package waiting for a vote in congress. as a result, the terrace confidence has been growing very styled some of the families introduced to us as already given reco. it's sounds, do you claim the total? so for $75000000000.00 unconditionally, maybe 2 sets of it was ministry aid. the long awaited new package totals over
4:03 pm
60000000000, while over a 3rd of it for the key of to buy advance weapon systems on for us, both is to provide training. the, the c i a has wound ukraine could lose the war by the end of the year without additional aid of the pentagon says it could get shipments moving within days as it has stopped piles in europe of just the weapons that ukraine so desperately needs earlier we spoke to dw reporter stuff on z man's in washington dc. i asked him why the vote is scheduled for today? well, i think the overwhelming a conclusion here and, and coming sense is that the pressure is got too hard or too big, too, too significant for the republican let house of representatives to the speaker of the house, my johnson. and frankly, for america, the white house,
4:04 pm
as well as the senate who passed a similar measures about 2 months ago. and ever since the white house is, is, is begging the house to, to bring up. there's a package, you know, the united states is aware that it has obligations that it is the, and proclaims itself to be the leader of the free world. but you can be a leader of the free world if you, if you don't need it. and apparently, if you don't, um, uh, put up your pack of pocket books and do what you're supposed to do. meaning helping ukraine, israel and taiwan. so there's a whole package $95000000000.00 which will be decided upon today. and that includes military uh, security assistance as it says, uh for israel, for taiwan. and as we said here, $65.00 or $60000000000.00 for a ukraine. so i think that was the reason pressure is got really immense and, and, and too hard to ignore it. in a nutshell, why is this a to ukraine still so controversial? this it is because there is
4:05 pm
a relatively small number of hotline republicans who say that though the united states can actually not afford to sell out of $60000000000.00 to ukraine, or almost $1415.00 to israel and 8 to taiwan. because we have for the united states has a $34.00 trillion dollar deficit. how, you know, budget deficit and national bank actually not deficit but national debt. and that is the reason why they say they are not on board with this. the other reason is, and that is important to is of course, the border or in a crate immigration situation at the us mexico border. and then it gets complicated because then we have to talk about donald trump and what he's, what his interests are to block any movement on this front, so to speak. because we have a presidential election this year. it's a dw correspondent to step on simon's at the us capital many,
4:06 pm
6 us media reports a washington has agreed to withdrawal truth from new share. the base in the west african country has been key in counterterrorism efforts in this a healthy region. but new jersey ruling hotel cancelled a military cooperation agreement with washington last month and demanded the truth withdrawn. protests against the us. presidents have taken place since a military to last july. the us currently has around a 1000 soldiers imaging that's close over the issue areas in berlin. he is a journalist who specializes in the site health region issue. it's nice to have you here. why has the us government agreed to withdraw its soldiers from new share? i think the question leads to the call the problem after all, and usually there is a suburb and state. so why wouldn't they? i think the restaurant a lot from the events surrounding the,
4:07 pm
the retreat of the french soldiers from, from the jail. the defense government didn't want to lease, and in the end they were pretty much forced out and all ties between nisha and friends has been kept ever since, at least for the moment. the us don't want that to happen. so they try to maintain it, maintain a relationship somehow. meanwhile, new fear is getting closer and closer to moscow. what let to new various closer ties with russia. i think it's uh, a lot about southern main. p. m. the cool did ties seen then the big part of the population as it moves towards the liberation from this corrupt political, the 6th system in the jail, and also from oppression by foreign power. so the idea of through india is very high in the popularity and liberating themselves from having one path. not only in that case, the west is seen as a means of gaining more leverage in yeah,
4:08 pm
the construction of a new would auto with media and a better placement. i'm curious about your perspective on this will do us withdrawal effect. it's on it. it's ability to wield influence in nature. absolutely, they're more than 1000 soldiers stationed in these at the moment and it's very important assets. and once they've gone, it will be very difficult to have an idea of what's going on in the region. and that definitely makes a different situation for the us and its ability to stay in contact with the, with the one tight as well, because that would be less personnel. and the, the, the balance of assets will shift because that will be russians in place at the moment. and nobody knows that how long they will stay. so there are a lot of open questions concerning that. so give us some perspective here. how has new year's recent political shift affected its relationship with its former western

allies? for example, france and what alliances hazard formed with other countries other than russia? and the moment i wouldn't say that media has forced, has created new alliances. it is trying to move it, say it into a situation where it's not hiding with either side in the multi pulled over. and that is seen as a means to, to gain more leverage. as i sat, there has been discussions that is said at least with you, with the rain you run about the uranium expectation in new jail. china is um yeah, raising its incleanse interest and in these. yeah. and to be sure um politics as well. so the discussions with many sides, but at the moment the, the goal of the government, the news. yeah. or the content of the military government is to an upside with anyone. and definitely they also say that the russian military advisors,
