Biden administration hopes to increase aid for Ukraine before leaving office

The World

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the Biden administration plans to send as much aid as possible to Ukraine before it leaves office so it can hold Russia’s military forces at bay. Also, the Archbishop of Canterbury resigns after an investigation found he failed to report physical and sexual abuse at Christian summer camps. And, an American defense contractor whose employees worked as interrogators at Abu Ghraib prison during the US occupation of Iraq has been ordered to pay $42 million dollars in damages to three Iraqi plaintiffs over the torture and abuse they suffered while in detention. Plus, a mobile health clinic tries to help patients in need of health services in South Africa.
