being a parent company bytedance being a national security concern for the united states, so essentially provision is the parent company has to divest, it has two celtic sock within a certain number of months —— sell tiktok, orface a band. that's got bipartisan support here. this is also with that package and approval for further sanctions when it comes to iran, china, russia as well, and then also freezing russian assets and using those russian assets to pay for some of the literary aid and aid to ukraine. there's also been the passing of that aid bill to taiwan of security in the indo—pacific region, with concerns about a more muscular china, potentially, eyeing a move on taiwan. that past, a lot of votes in favour for that, just to taiwan. that past, a lot of votes in favourfor that, just to bring up taiwan. that past, a lot of votes in favour for that, just to bring up to date with where we are now, taking a look at what we are seeing on the

floor, we are now on two of three amendment on the ukraine bill right now, so we will go through those boats and then of course we will get to that big moment as you just said, commenta, where 61 billion us dollars of aid to ukraine could be released in that vote —— what you just said, samantha. that bill people right around the world are watching, none more so than in kyiv. and president biden first sought to get that money released some six months ago, didn't he? explain the politics of this, because it is about politics, like he has come up against it? it about politics, like he has come up auainst it? ., , , , about politics, like he has come up aaainstit? , , ., �*, against it? it absolutely is. that's an awful long _ against it? it absolutely is. that's an awful long time _ against it? it absolutely is. that's an awful long time when - against it? it absolutely is. that's an awful long time when you're . an awful long time when you're talking about a war faced with that russian aggression to think you a picture, samantha, iwas russian aggression to think you a picture, samantha, i was outside white has back in september, when president zelensky was visiting, saying, give us those weapons we need, we will fight this war so you don't have to, released 60 billion,

give us those missiles, and we are not there yet. to come to those questions of politics, specifically what it is as the hardline conference of republicans, taking their steer from conference of republicans, taking their steerfrom donald trump, who continues to have a lot of influence over the republican party, saying that we don't want further aid to ukraine at a time when we have not got more, we have not passed this border security bill for the southern border, at a time when in recent months we have seen record numbers of migrants coming over that southern border, and so the fear is essentially for speakerjohnson, inputting it to the floor, it could essentially cost him his job, something has clearly changed over the past week was to a course we saw the past week was to a course we saw the iranian —— of course we saw the iranian attack on israel, we heard this bill is getting broken down into two separate prongs, and esther speaker johnson, he is reported to have

received a lot of intelligence briefings, he now understands now believes reportedly that should russia take over ukraine, it would continue to roll on further as well, it could then be the potential of further western ally involvement, and he is also a man of faith, and he has said through prayer that he morally believes this is the right thing to do, even if there is the potential for a thing to do, even if there is the potentialfor a motion to thing to do, even if there is the potential for a motion to vacate, for him to lose hisjob, for him to be ousted. this is something put forward by congresswoman audrey taylor green. she's got the backing publicly on the record of two other republicans. it might not sound a lot, but that's really what you would need —— marjorie taylor greene. will push comes to shove? that remains to be seen. i guess what we could say is this is an election year, with the republican party concerned about the optics of a house in chaos as we get ever closer to november. i think it is

fair to say that as of last week, speakerjohnson has the backing of president donald trump, former president donald trump, former president donald trump, former president donald trump. they were side by side at donald trump's moura lago estate in florida and we have not heard, although we know the relationship and where donald trump stands with ukraine anti—war, saying he would be able to solve it in matter of 2a hours, he has not specifically said anything with regards to this bill, so i think it would remain to be seen whether todayis would remain to be seen whether today is the day speakerjohnson loses his job over this, today is the day speakerjohnson loses hisjob over this, but, yes, politics very much at play when it comes to huge questions of international security on the world stage. international security on the world sta . e. �* ., . ., ., international security on the world staue. �* ., . ., ., ., stage. and how much attention are the american _ stage. and how much attention are the american public _ stage. and how much attention are the american public paying - stage. and how much attention are the american public paying to - stage. and how much attention are j the american public paying to this? we know when it comes to an election, actually, foreign policy does not play all that big, but they're so much going on in the world right now, so many fears around what russia's next move could be, what could happen in the middle

east — how much attention are americans paying to this? you east - how much attention are americans paying to this? you make a really important _ americans paying to this? you make a really important point. _ americans paying to this? you make a really important point. foreign - really important point. foreign policy does not tend to be the thing that wins presidential elections. if you take a look at pulling through public and voters, it is immigration, it is which continues to come up in position one and two. that said, i think with regards to what we are seeing between iran and israel, in recent days, i think there is sudden concern about the united states potentially being drawn into a war in the middle east. it is something that i think is being discussed, and if you also take a look at pulling with regards to support for ukraine, an increasing number of americans once again on both sides support aid for ukraine. we might have seen this political infighting here in the house, but perhaps those words, estate of the union speech, with president biden warning about ukraine saying history is watching us, perhaps they are resonating ——

the state of the union speech. this presidential election is seeing foreign policy across the board between democrats and republicans being watched more closely than we traditionally see. if being watched more closely than we traditionally see.— traditionally see. if the house does ass the traditionally see. if the house does pass the bill— traditionally see. if the house does pass the bill which _ traditionally see. if the house does pass the bill which we _ traditionally see. if the house does pass the bill which we are - traditionally see. if the house does| pass the bill which we are expecting any moment now, what happens next? when is it signed into law? what is the timing of all of this in terms of ukraine actually seeing any of this test for the needed aid and equipment? —— desperately needed? it will go to the senate. we know chuck schumer is also said he is keeping senators in place to be signed off in the coming days. president biden has been very clear about this. as soon as it touches his desk in the oval office he will waive his pen and it will be signed off, and what we have seen from the pentagon as well, we had this political infighting, but he panic on had been watching this very closely, repositioning the literary hardware where it can, getting ready also to use that funding to replenish new

defence stocks, because that is part of that bill, us defence coffers being drained through this, so the idea is these much—needed weapons of missiles, for example, could be across ukraine and in the front lines in days as opposed to weeks. 0k, helena, stay with us, we are going tojust listen 0k, helena, stay with us, we are going to just listen into what is happening in congress on the floor right now as we expect that vote to take place. checked it out. to respond to the situation in ukraine, and for— respond to the situation in ukraine, and for related _ respond to the situation in ukraine, and for related expenses _ respond to the situation in ukraine, and for related expenses for - respond to the situation in ukraine, and for related expenses for the - and for related expenses for the fiscal_ and for related expenses for the fiscal year— and for related expenses for the fiscal year ending _ and for related expenses for the fiscal year ending september. and for related expenses for the fiscal year ending september 30 and for related expenses for the - fiscal year ending september 30 2024 and further_ fiscal year ending september 30 2024 and further purposes. _ fiscal year ending september 30 2024 and further purposes. the _ fiscal year ending september 30 2024 and further purposes.— and further purposes. the house will be in order! — and further purposes. the house will be in order! the _ and further purposes. the house will be in order! the house _ and further purposes. the house will be in order! the house will— and further purposes. the house will be in order! the house will be in - be in order! the house will be in order! _ be in order! the house will be in order! for— be in order! the house will be in order! forwhat be in order! the house will be in order! for what purpose is the judgment _ order! for what purpose is the judgment from texas seeking recognition? the clerk will report

five—minute vote. we are going to step away from what is happening there on the floor, as they vote there on this motion to recommit, and we wait for that vote on aid to ukraine. helena, just expend what they are doing on the floor right now? that expend what they are doing on the floor right now?— floor right now? that did not succeed. _ floor right now? that did not succeed, that _ floor right now? that did not succeed, that motion - floor right now? that did not succeed, that motion to - floor right now? that did not - succeed, that motion to recommit, so what that would mean is that it would go back to the committee very swiftly, it was a no on that, chip roy the congressman from the freedom caucus, asking for that to be on the record, but once again this vote on ukraine will go ahead, so it is not going back to committee, it will be taken up. no hurdles in that way right now on those boats coming to the floor. yes. for that vote to go ahead on releasing that funding. {lilla

ahead on releasing that funding. ok, so we can expect that imminently, the vote on the ukraine bill? exactly, exactly. we have got one more amendment. we had two amendments. we have gone through all the amendments and then officially the amendments and then officially the voting to recommit official tally now, so and then we will get onto the ukraine bill next. i'm talking about five minutes' time, i believe, just taking a look at the floor there. believe, just taking a look at the floor there-— floor there. 0k, helena, do stay there. i floor there. 0k, helena, do stay there- i am _ floor there. 0k, helena, do stay there. i am sure _ floor there. 0k, helena, do stay there. i am sure we _ floor there. 0k, helena, do stay there. i am sure we will- floor there. 0k, helena, do stay there. i am sure we will be - floor there. 0k, helena, do stay there. i am sure we will be back| there. i am sure we will be back with you to check on that. in the us, lots of people watching that, probably more so in ukraine, where this is vitally important, so let's go over to our ukraine corresponds james waterhouse, who is in kyiv for us. james, they're desperately us. james, they�* re desperately waiting us. james, they're desperately waiting for this announcement, six months, this has been in the offing? absolutely, and it is a delay which has been so costly for ukraine in terms of territory and personnel.

you see ukrainian soldiers rationing artillery shells and other ammunition, and when you are near the front line and you hear the sound of artillery in the distance, soldiers tell you, that will almost certainly be coming from the russians. it is very strange standing here, seeing the democratic process, thousands of miles away, which could well dictate the course of this conflict. now, while this will be welcomed and while this will be the biggest military aid package ukraine has received to date, it will by no means be a silver bullet. it will not suddenly allow ukrainian forces to suddenly push back, necessarily, and start taking back what was taken, because the fact is, it is russia with momentum at the moment, it is taking more and more ukrainian territory in the east, ukrainian territory in the east, ukrainian cities are looking more

perilous, particularly in the east again, but even in cities like kyiv, with dwindling air defence, ammunition, this is something president zelensky has been calling for as well. and then you have what is going on in russia. when it comes to military spending and want to do about this continuing invasion, you are not seeing this similar kind of process, it is a simple order from vladimir putin or one of his lieutenants within the defence ministry, for example, and that cascades down to his continued invasion and occupation of ukraine, so it's an interesting contrast, but the truly tests, this is the rub, really, of the wharton ukraine, whether democracies like the us and other western allies are able to stand up to an authoritarian state which is able to stay on a war footing —— the war in ukraine. it is able to upscale, if you like, quicker than ukraine has been able to do so because of its reliance on

western allies. standing here in kyiv, it feels pretty strange, to be honest with you, given the significance of the vote we are seeing in washington. and significance of the vote we are seeing in washington.- significance of the vote we are seeing in washington. and to what extent are russia's _ seeing in washington. and to what extent are russia's recent - seeing in washington. and to what i extent are russia's recent successes on the battlefield, do you think, down to the fact that this aid has not been released and it has been held onto for six months? president zelensky puts _ held onto for six months? president zelensky puts it _ held onto for six months? president zelensky puts it directly _ held onto for six months? president zelensky puts it directly down - held onto for six months? president zelensky puts it directly down to - zelensky puts it directly down to the stalling western aid. president zelensky says ukraine will lose without this western aid. i think there is a correlation that is hard to dispute, because at one point, we were talking about ukrainian counteroffensive, weren't we? last year, the same kind of military help from the us. the hope that it would be used to punch through russian fortifications, but what is transpired is those russian defences have been stronger than many predicted, and that ukraine was unable to liberate a sufficient

amount of territory, and that lack of progress or success has directly fed back into that growing us doubt within the republican party, notably, which is why i think it is compounded ukraine's frustrations and misery with the delay to this bill, but when you are hoping to defend against a much bigger invader and when you are harbouring hope still of liberating territory, you need more ammunition and you need the armoured vehicles to punch through, but what's also causing problems for ukraine are its own mobilisation issues, where they have exhausted troops on the front line and they are trying to work out the best way to call up as many men as possible, but ukraine, there is a political row here as well. ukraine is a democrat country and president zelensky�*s tripped up, if you like, on trying to find the right way through there because it's a sensitive subject. people, men, notably, resent the fact they could

well be compelled to fight in unimaginable conditions and there is no cap on the amount of time they would have to serve. so there's a whole new row here in ukraine over how best to fight this war. complete cities that russia does not necessarily have to deal with —— and black cities. the effect it has mobilised so many soldiers, and their tactics have been far more costly, there are different challenges across the border, but this is the collision we are seeing with the war in ukraine and i wonder, if we look in the next six, 12, 18 months, how today's vote will influence the outcome of this war, but there's a conversation at stage with me this week, it's the first time i have heard to serving ukrainian soldiers admit that for liberation is unlikely for they are now fighting to easily hold on for now fighting to easily hold on for now and see what they might be able to retake the longer—term. but

staying alive, really, is a pressing objective as it is soldiers as it is fighting to defend their country. games, thank you. that's take you back to the floor in washington, where the lawmakers there are now voting. helena, back with us, take us through what we are looking at? the clock is counting down right now. we have got over three minutes left on the clock for that final vote on ukraine. would you sawjust moments ago with the amendments, this motion to recommit, essentially would mean it would be sending this law in all of its nitty—gritty details back to the committee from where it came, and i was put forward by chip roy, congressman from texas, member of the freedom caucus. it is an effort to stall, essentially, this mode. it was not taken up, this motion, so that is what we see the fun of it going ahead with the same contours we sought coming to the floor. 61 billion us dollars for

ukraine, a provision for this to be a loan, albeit a loan that is forgivable. also a large part of this also to see us weaponry stocks replenished through this. a lot of the defence coffers have been drained through moving those assets to kyiv, moving those assets to ukraine, so what you're seeing right now, congress people, they are casting their votes and then, in some two minutes' time, we will have that final tally, that final decision on whether that aid will be released to stop it is important to stress that it is largely expected to be taken up and to be pushed through and then we will see the different prongs of this foreign aid bill, essentially knitted together into a single bill which would then go to the senate, we have heard from chuck schumer that they intend to get senators to take it up as soon as possible, we know that a similar bill passed in

the senate just a matter of months ago and the intention very clearly set out from president biden is to sign off on it immediately, so that they can try and release that aid, get those weapons to kyiv as soon as possible, sojust get those weapons to kyiv as soon as possible, so just to let you know the totals that you should be watching, 0k? 218, a simple majority in the house, there are actually 218 republicans in the house as well, but we know that a number of republicans are against further aid to ukraine, so what we will be needed —— will be needed is democrat export. that democratic support has been set out. it is expected to pass. and so we will be learning in about one minute's time, just taking about one minute's time, just taking a look at the clock there on the congressional floor, a look at the clock there on the congressionalfloor, and a look at the clock there on the congressional floor, and what we can also see there and i'm sure our viewers can see, is the blue and yellow of a democratic lawmakers

waving ukrainian flag there on the floor as we are on the final countdown now, just learning whether it will pass on the floor.— it will pass on the floor. yeah, 'ust it will pass on the floor. yeah, just looking — it will pass on the floor. yeah, just looking at _ it will pass on the floor. yeah, just looking at those _ it will pass on the floor. yeah, just looking at those figures, i just looking at those figures, democrats, 210, republicans 100, republican nays, 111, so the total there, 310, as you were saying a single majority of 218 is needed, and helena, just over the last few months the biden administration has really been lobbying hard over this and have been warning the delayed granting and assistance is just a gift to vladimir putin, haven't they? gift to vladimir putin, haven't the ? , ., , ., , _ gift to vladimir putin, haven't the? , ., , ., they? they have been lobbying hard because they _ they? they have been lobbying hard because they have _ they? they have been lobbying hard because they have been _ they? they have been lobbying hard because they have been lobbied - they? they have been lobbying hard i because they have been lobbied hard. you only have to think back to september, we were outside the white house, president zelensky was here then, making the case think about how much has changed on the battlefield on the battlefield ukraine in terms of

—— in terms of losing avdiivka. the lenski saying we need to support or he was losing the war. nancy pelosi saying those who go against this have blood on their hands, they are kowtowing to president putin. the bbc was speaking to the ukrainian prime minister earlier this past week and he said, if we don't have this, we will lose, if we don't have this, we will lose, if we don't have this us military aid. just going to catch a look, seeing and will you're seeing right now, shearing in the chamber and adjust to paint a picture of what we saw as well outside, normally capitol hill on a saturday is pretty sleepy affair, lawmakers tend to go home to their congressional districts, but instead we had protesters out with the ukrainian flag, waving it, and we had protesters out with the ukrainianflag, waving it, and i'm taking a look at what they are saying on the floor right now. that watch is now stopped. just to see if we have got a final vote tally.

the house will be in order. have all members voted? does any member— have all members voted? does any member was to change their vote? —— wish to change their vote? 0n on this vote the yeas of 311 and the nays on this vote the yeas of 311 and the nays are _ on this vote the yeas of 311 and the nays are 112~ — on this vote the yeas of 311 and the nays are 112. the bill is passed. one _ nays are 112. the bill is passed. one voting _ nays are 112. the bill is passed. 0ne voting present. i missed it, but

essentially, you have 61 billion dollars in us aid to ukraine now going forward to the senate, it will be taking a bite senators, but bear in mind before there had been support of this kind of foreign aid bill before going into the desk of the us president. {lila bill before going into the desk of the us president.— the us president. 0k, helena, thank ou ve the us president. 0k, helena, thank you very much _ the us president. 0k, helena, thank you very much for — the us president. 0k, helena, thank you very much for going, _ the us president. 0k, helena, thank you very much for going, taking - the us president. 0k, helena, thank you very much for going, taking us i you very much for going, taking us through that, as the house of representatives voted to approve that $61 billion aid package for ukraine, let's go back to ukraine and our correspondentjames and our correspondent james waterhouse, who and our correspondentjames waterhouse, who is listening to that. james, a huge sigh of relief, i'm sure, from president zelensky in the past few minutes as i'm sure he has been watching this very closely? just remind us what this will mean for his war efforts?— for his war efforts? absolutely. after six months _ for his war efforts? absolutely. after six months of _ for his war efforts? absolutely. after six months of painful - after six months of painful ambiguity for ukraine, where it has lost territory and a man as a direct consequence of stalling american

across the whole of europe — almost the whole of europe — the temperatures are below the average for the time of the year. even snow across northern europe and some snow across the alps, too. now over us, high pressure is in charge of the weather, but notice that northerly breeze close to the north sea coast on the eastern side of the high pressure, which is centred around ireland. so this is the satellite picture from earlier on. it started off quite sunny, but then the clouds developed during the afternoon and it turned quite cold. now, through this evening, variable amounts of cloud, but some clear skies out towards the west here. just a little bit of rain sneaking in on a weak weather front across northern and central scotland. how about the temperatures? yes, a chance of a little bit of frost outside of town where the skies are clear through the night. but i think in city centres it's closer to around four, five, six degrees. so tomorrow, a similar day in that there will be a chilly breeze on the north sea coast, maybe one or two showers, but i think quite cloudy across northern, eastern scotland, the north east of england, too. a little bit of rain. the best of the weather by far out towards the west. the west of northern ireland

could see temperatures around 17 or 18 degrees. now, the high pressure is with us into monday, but these annoying weather fronts do sneak in on the eastern side of this high pressure. they are weak weather fronts, which means that there will be a fair amount of cloud, maybe a period of a little bit of rain moving through england, maybe reaching wales too. the best and brightest of the weather will be again out towards the west of the uk. we mightjust nudge into the mid—teens, 14, 15, maybe 16 degrees. but again on the north sea coast and central parts of england, it'll be closer to around 10 or 12. is it going to be warming up? well, no, the outlook is remaining chilly. you can see temperatures of around 12 degrees there in london. about that in edinburgh, too. towards next weekend, it could turn a little milder, but it may turn more showery.
