it is rebecca, it is there. thank you. over a closer look at the u. s. his latest military aid package i'm joined by a for breeze party, a defense analyst and foreign nato policy plan for breast b, u. s. sending another big batch of weapons to ukraine, including anti tank weapons helicopters, and advanced rockets systems. how significant is this? when it is significant thus far as it helps a prison zalinski and the ukrainian forces to did what is essentially become a warfare, tuition and destruction from, from the russian. and therefore, and he needs to kind of heavy artillery insistence to be able to push back on what the russians are trying to do in the dumbass. now what can you tell us about in particular about this a so called high m ability artillery rocket system or high mama's, could this be a game changer for the ukrainians? i think anything that can put the ukrainians in a position where they can respond to what essentially is a russian heavy artillery kind of green dirt that is seeking to destroy as many infrastructure and kill as many people.

we turn our attention out to the u. s. where lawmakers see donald trump knew his efforts to overturn his election defeat were illegal, but he pushed ahead. anyway, a committee is investigating whether mister trump's false claims about the result led to the storming of the capital on january 6th, 2021 in it's 3rd public hearing. the panel presented evidence that mr. trump tried to force his vice president. mike meant to help him overturn the election result brochure to the cost. he was not present in person at the hearing, but for more us lice president mike pence was at the center of it. none the less because the house select committee, which has spent a year investigating the january 6th attack on the u. s. capital presented never before seen evidence woman showing how former president donald trump let a campaign, the pressure pens to overturn his 2020 election. the feet down from one, it might pins to do something, no other vice president has ever gone. the form of president wanted hands to reject the vote and either dec

and e u, but ukraine's morale and will to defend itself is proving much harder to destroy. rebecca readers is in key is hi, good to see. heavy weapons from germany finally in ukraine. that's a welcome 1st step. but for ukraine, the next shipment can arrived soon enough can. it will finally is really the word, the key word in that sentence. i mean, that's the word that was used by the ukraine defense ministry when the defense minister, rather when he tweeted about their delivery, he said that we're happy to finally have them as part of our arsenal. that's not to, to mean or to sound like they're ungrateful. they really, really grateful for any help. they've been calling that heavy weaponry for such time for such a long time. they, they desperately needed as you would just sang in that report to try and hold the gradual progress of russian forces to push them back. but they are increasingly frustrated at the pace at which they're coming. we know that, as you mentioned that these, this is just a small portion of what germany has actually offered to ukraine but, but the, the bigger the even he
