From First Up, 5:06 am on 22 April 2022

We begin this morning in the USA, where President Joe Biden has announced another package of military, financial and humanitarian support for Ukraine. The President says heavy artillery, ammunition and drones will assist Ukraine at a critical time in the latest phase of the war. Part of the announcement is a new scheme which will allow fleeing Ukrainians temporary refuge in the US. Joining Nathan Rarere from New York is our correspondent Bevan Hurley.
