Several People Killed or wounded in the block. The im had a moment. Welcome to the show us President Joe Biden has urged americans to support tens of billions of dollars and funding for israel and ukraine. Saying they were fighting for democracy in a rare speech from the white tyreses oval office. He stressed backing both was quote, vital for Us National Security fight inside the world was looking to america for leadership. And that the us couldnt afford to abandon its allies, not American Leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances, what keep us, americans say american values, what make us a partner the nation you want to work with to put all that a risk and we walk away from ukraine. Return our backs on israel. Its just not worth it. Thats why the more im going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund another dispatch. So security needs to support are critical partners, including israel and ukraine. Is a smart investment is going to pay dividends for american security. For generations help us keep american troops out of harms way, help us build a world that is safer and more peaceful and more prosperous for our children and grandchildren. Earlier, i talked to dw correspondent staffing assignments in washington. I asked him about the problem in spite and is likely to face when trying to secure funding for ukraine and as well. The name of the problem is congress. And what i mean by this is that the house of representatives is more or less for the last 2 weeks. This function of doesnt get anything done. Why is this . Because the g o p, the republican conference in the house of representatives, which were supposed to be there for having a speaker because they are majority speaker of the house is not elected. And with that, the house is basically in apt to do anything to approve money requests. Those urgent budget requests the president will send tomorrow on friday is thats exactly his problem. Congress is not functional. And that is a problem. Why . Because you know, all the weapons, all the immunization and all the stuff america sends to israel for the are and dont defend system or to ukraine, has to be replenished, has to be resupplied. So the shelves are emptying, and Congress Needs to pay money for biden. To go shopping for more immunization and more weapons to put on shelves in america. Not a bite, and also are as americans to remain united in these difficult times. Lets listen to what he had to say. This is in a moment, let me know. Im almost like ease and when fear and suspicion, anger rage run hard. And we have to work harder than ever to hold on to the values and make us who we are. Were a nation of religious freedom, freedom of expression. We all have a right to debate and disagree without fear of being targeted and schools. Our workplaces are in our communities. I must renounce violence of vitriol. See each other not advantage was by his fellow americans. When i was, it is where yesterday i said that one american experienced a hell of 911. We felt a race as well. While we saw it and got just as we made mistakes, so i cautioned the government of israel not to be blinded by rage. And here in america, let us not forget who we are. We reject all forms, all forms of 8, whether against muslim jews or anyone. Thats what great nations do. And we are a great nation. Second, i want to come back to, you know, so by didnt says americans have to stick together. But does the public share the sentiment, especially with regards to sending funding to israel on ukraine lets say maybe help. So lets hope so because you know, the number language they have been an increase in violence and incidents and dismiss and to submitted incidentally. So im a phobia related incidents in the United States, but of course in the last 2 years. And that is also in the stats from f, b i. And from the department of Homeland Security that those numbers speak a different language and they say that actually, you know, hate crimes are on the rise of the last 2 years. Thats why the president had to and he really believes in this appeal to the American People to be well american, in his words, anything else but being peace, loving in helping people of the people of nations that need would be in his mind. And in his words on american dw correspondence steph assignments, thank you so much for all of your insights. Palestinian militants continue to fire rockets from gaza into israel on thursday.
