Dust of afghanistan. Back in ukraine, this is what they are facing. Ground littered with russian mines and explosives. Ukraine is now the most heavily mined country in the world and it is what has bogged down their advance. Russia has laid hundreds of thousands of mines across ukraine, scattered over an area the size of florida. In some places, the minefields are ten kilometres deep. And in just one square metre there could be as many as five mines. Sappers are now being targeted by Russian Forces so they mostly have to conduct their work at night and there are simply not enough of them. What you describe being a sapper in ukraine at the moment as being the most dangerous job in the world . Yes, absolutely. Are a lot of them being killed by mines, by Russian Artillery because they are working on the front line . Have you lost many friends . What message would you like to send to the west . Keep going. We need your help. Is that because you are worried that the west will not keep going
More aid for ukraine something opposed by some hard right house republicans. Heres Senate Majority leader chuck schumer. It has been a day full of twists and turns. The American People can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no government shutdown. Democrats have said from the start that the only solution for avoiding a shutdown is bipartisanship and we are glad Speaker Mccarthy has finally heeded our message. In the end, more democrats supported this bill in the house than republicans. Proving bipartisanship was the best answer all along. I want to thank my colleagues here in the senate, especially our appropriators. Madam president Susan Collins and leader mcconnell. Our Bipartisanship Work in the senate set the tone for the bill we are about to pass. Our bipartisanship made this possible. It showed the house we had to act. We will keep the government open for 45 days with a clean cr at current Funding Levels and we avoided all of the extreme, nasty and harmful cuts maga wanted.
