Good evening. I'm Jeff Bennett and I'm Amman Navas on the news hour tonight. The

latest jobs report shows an unexpected surge in hiring. We look at how young people are re-engaging

with the workforce. We take a closer look at Donald Trump's search for a

how do we ensure that it doesn't happen again. Welcome to the news hour. President Biden publicly apologized today for the

months long delay in getting US military aid to Ukraine. His comments came

during his visit to France where he also announced a new

225 million dollar security package for Kyiv.

It's the Biden administration's sixth round of security assistance for Ukraine

since the president signed a broader 95 billion dollar

security package in April. That measure which also included funds for

Israel and Taiwan had been held up in Congress for six months.

In a meeting with Ukrainian President Volmer Zolinsky in Paris today,

President Biden said that he's sorry for the wait.

conservative members who were holding it up.

Later the president paid tribute to the Army Rangers who stormed the beaches of Normandy

as he stood on the very cliffs they scaled 80 years ago. In his remarks he invoked

their sacrifice to call for the defense of democracy in the U.S. and abroad.
