on top of this package, he spent a moment and speech paying tribute to ukrainian soldiers and civilians over the war effort and said these were on the front lines of freedom and he did not mince his words. he said vladimir putin would never take over ukraine and this new package, on top of the package last week to continue supply for ukrainian soldiers on the ground, but on top of that, he also listed another round of sanctions, and he russian affiliated chips, they would not be allowed to dock in the us. on top of that, he has also announced as well as the military aid in the new sanctions that ukraine will also get 500 million economic assistance to help rebuild the countryjust to let you know in terms of the total amount of money were talking here, since the invasion began, they've given more than $3 billion with the military systems and nearly $4 billion in total since president biden gun to office? —— president biden got into office. and appealing from a weapon stop by for more help from more support. what about the appetite they're going forward now is yellow president biden says he will not last and he mentioned that in his press conference that basically, he is nearly at the end of his drawdown authority which is given to him by congress and the last spending bill, if he needs to, if he needs more comments and more to ukraine and he doesn't he needs to say that, he has to keep supplying ammunition, keep it flowing and not interrupting it, and he will need support from republicans, the majority of congress to back him on this and he will be requesting that next week and we get to see in terms of the support he gets from republicans, it is generally been there supportive but some want him to be tougher. in fact, some of the polls suggest that americans want him to be tougher. whatever looks like, for some it is potentially a no—fly zone which he has ruled out, it's potentially a no—fly zone which he has ruled out, its setting specific fighterjets as has ruled out, its setting specific fighter jets as well and has ruled out, its setting specific fighterjets as well and so, that battle, he will be facing next week and this does end up becoming quite political in america because you have the midterm election coming up and there's lots of talks about have the sanctions even worked, there is some sanctions and president biden has an pose, bedding russian energy from coming to the us but not international transactions that has to do with this you want to make gas prices worse, does he want to make inflation worse?

"how radical are you? " i asked. translation: i'm not radical, sorry. i'm running for president to establish a government of the people for the people. giving back power to the people. but these people and plenty of others in france remain unconvinced. so close to the elections, emotions are running high. it's always like this on campaign trail le pen. there's protectors, press and protesters wherever you look. marine le pen remains the outsider in this election, but her popularity has grown. she's focused on voters' number one concern — the spiralling cost of food and fuel here. translation: marine le pen goes to markets to meet - working people like us. she's down to earth. we've always liked her here. translation: marine le pen, even if she tries to distance i herself from the extreme right, that's her background, - that's her party. i'm voting macron. to keep le pen out. in fact, both presidential candidates have a reputation problem. eu obsessed and elitist is how emmanuel macron's critics describe him. so at this campaign event in marseille, he ditched the designerjacket and appealed across party lines to vote for him on sunday. translation: april24th is a referendum for or i against the environment, for or against young people. this election can be the start of a new french and european era, of great hopes and ambitious. brussels and washington are watching all this extremely carefully, especially with the raging russia—ukraine crisis. france has the eu's biggest military, and second largest economy. macron wants to use that to boost eu, nato and transatlantic relations. le pen is euro and us sceptic with traditionally close ties to moscow. who becomes france's next president is as important abroad as it is at home for a number of reasons. i'm really well. marine le pen's programme would directly lead to a total collapse of the french economy, which would hurt the other european countries. also very important economic partner, which is the uk. marine le pen defends her economic plans. but france's next president — she or he won't be able to claim the heart of all french people. this is a divided country. katya adler, bbc news, paris. let's get more now on our top story. mps have voted to open an investigation into whether the prime minister borisjohnson misled parliament about lockdown parties held in downing street and whitehall — that breached covid restrictions. this is the moment the motion was �*nodded through' — in other words — the investigation was approved — without even needing a full vote. knowingly misleading parliament is a resigning offence under the ministerial code — my colleague ros akins looks into this. borisjohnson is boris johnson is under borisjohnson is under pressure and so is a system that holds britain's politicians to account. in part, because of this moment in december. all guidance was followed completely during number ten. that all guidance was followed completely during number ten.— during number ten. that wasn't true. and the opposition _ during number ten. that wasn't true. and the opposition has _ during number ten. that wasn't true. and the opposition has repeatedly i and the opposition has repeatedly returned to theirs. the and the opposition has repeatedly returned to theirs.— returned to theirs. the ministerial code sa s returned to theirs. the ministerial code says that _ returned to theirs. the ministerial code says that ministers -
