The US Senate passed a $95 billion
foreign aid package
that has funding for Ukraine and Israel.
It comes after a long night of speeches
and debates ending early morning.
The funding package
passed with bipartisan support,
although many Republicans oppose further
aid for Ukraine,
Now this sets up a showdown
with the House,
where Speaker
Mike Johnson
has already said
that the Senate failed to meet the moment
because of a lack of border
security issues or measures.
Well, Ukraine claims
it is evidence that Russia fired
an advanced hypersonic missile.
Now If that's true, it's
the first time that Moscow
has use this technology,
which experts say is nearly impossible
to shoot down
in a telegram pose scientific experts
in Ukraine claim
the debris
recovered after a February
the seventh attack in Kiev
point to the use of a zircon hypersonic
cruise missile by Russia's military.
US based expert
say this missile
and its hypersonic speed
would be
the fastest in the world,
making it nearly impossible
to defend against.
While Europe
also ramping up
its support
for Ukraine
is Kiev's
military supplies run low and US
aid wavers?
Russia's military
power far outweighs Ukraine's, and Kiev
needs the West's
help more than ever to overcome Moscow.
CNN's Fred
Pleitgen shows us
how Europe and Germany
in particular, plans
to boost its weapon
production capabilities.
Have a look at this
A German

to tank hitting Russian positions
on the Eastern Front.
This video
provided by the 21st mechanized
brigade showing
they say
how effective Western weapons
are on the battlefield.
If you think something
every infantry is scared of a tank.
Tanks go out and work
and they fire frightfully
They fire straight into their faces
and they don't even have time
to think about what to do.
While there is a shortage to deal with,
the Ukrainians say
they need a lot
more Western arms and ammo.
But Republicans have blocked U.S.
military aid in Congress
and their likely nominee for president,
Donald Trump.
Even suggested
he might encourage Russia to attack
Naito members
who didn't meet military
spending guidelines.
I would not protect you.
In fact,
I would encourage them
to do whatever the hell they want.
You got to pay
those comments.
Literally have Europeans up in arms now
ramping up weapons production for Ukraine
and for themselves.
Germany's chancellor
visiting a major arms plant
with Denmark's prime minister,
trying to downplay Trump's comments
late-August of essence
for the United States,
for Canada, for the European countries.
And we cooperate just so long
since World War Two.
And this is really something
which is a good alliance for the future.
We stick to it.
The president of the United States
speaks with
and I'm sure the American people
will do so.
But Denmark's prime
minister says she has no illusions.
U.S.
support for European
Naito members no longer seems certain.
No matter what will happen in the U.S.
this year,
I think the conclusion
has to be written already
now that Europe needs to be stronger
and we need to do
we need to be able to do more on our own.
And ammo production
is the biggest concern.
As NATO's
allies struggle
to help Ukraine make up for massive
shortfalls
while facing
overwhelming Russian firepower.
This is one of the most important things
for the Ukrainians to stay in the fight.
They're not only outmanned,
they're also outgunned.
And the biggest problem that they have
is a lack of ammunition.
They broke ground for
a new ammo
plant here,
and the company's CEO says
they will drastically increase
ammo production quickly,
especially for artillery.
They need 1 million to 1.2 million.
And if I give them 700,000,
I think there are also
some other producers in Europe
who have to give them something.
So 700,000 is at the moment
the maximum that we can produce.
And the Ukrainians say
they need the maximum
their allies can give
with or without the U.S.
to keep their forces
in the fight against the Russians.

Until this Germany
well,
the head of the International
Atomic Energy
Agency, Rafael
Grossi here at the World Government
Summit, fresh
from the front lines
of Ukraine where he visited
the separates yet nuclear power plant.
This is, of course,
Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
And it's been in control of the Russians
for well over a year now.
Well, the fighting around the plant,
along with trying to maintain it
safely amid a full scale
war, of course,
raised fears
of a catastrophic nuclear incident.
I sat down
with Grossi here in Dubai,
and I asked him, on a scale of one
to ten,
how worried is
about the danger posed by the plant
at this point? This is what he told me
You go to surprise
on a sunny day
and you believe that you are
in a nuclear power plant here in Baracoa.
Everything is apparently calm.
But then the next hour
you can have a drone
coming and attacking.
So it is the uncertainty
and the terrible fragility of war.
I can be zero.
I can be ten within minutes.
You're on your way
at some point to Russia.
What will your message be there?
My message is cooperate with the IAEA
Remember that it's only working with us,
avoiding a nuclear accident,
that we will all benefit
because no one
whichever's side of the conflict
you are sitting
will benefit from a nuclear accident.
Well, Grace and I also talked about Iran
after a recent report from the IAEA
said that
Iran increased its production
of highly enriched uranium.
I asked the director general
how concerning
this is given the increased hostilities
in the region.
Well, of course, this is
an accumulation of complexities,
because in a region
in the current circumstance,
to have a country
that it is presenting a phase
which is not entirely transparent
when it comes to its nuclear activities.
Of course,
these increases dangers
There is loose talk about nuclear weapons
more and more,
including in Iran recently,
but also elsewhere.
A very high official said in fact,
we have everything. It's disassembled.
Well, please let me know.
What do you have?
Because you are an NPT Nonproliferation
Treaty Party.
You so you're not supposed ever
by your own decision
to have nuclear weapons
I felt Grossi
speaking to me earlier
today here in Dubai.
What is the World Government Summit?
