Additional aid to a fragile ukrainian economy. As secretary kerry, former senator kenry, john kerry, he wants this aid that is in our bill now. But he also wanted what was in our bill, i. M. F. Funding. He said if i cant get both the most important thing we do now is the funding that is in our bill and hes probably right. We already know theres been many signals from the house that they wouldnt accept i. M. F. The republican leader said that he was concerned about the i. M. F. So i am really pleased that the sanctions inside this legislation i hope will pass on thursday is something that is going to help ukraine. Im confident it will.

Good morning. Im paige hopkins. We begin with breaking news in california. A powerful 6. 9 magnitude earthquake struck about 50 miles off the coast near the border with oregon. It happened just after 9 00 p. M. Local time. There are no reports of damage and no threat of a tsunami. The u. S. Geological survey says more than 300 people reported feeling that jolt. This is the same area hit by a damaging 6. 5 magnitude quake back in 2010. Three days later and still no word on what happened to that missing malaysian jet. A senior u. S.
