WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is expected to announce that it will send $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Friday, as the Biden administration pushes to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on Jan. 20. The large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds, officials said. The officials, who said they expect the announcement to be made on Monday, spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. The new aid comes as Russia has launched a barrage of attacks against Ukraine’s power facilities in recent days, although Ukraine has said it intercepted a significant number of the missiles and drones. Russian and Ukrainian forces are also still in a bitter battle around the Russian border region of Kursk, where Moscow has sent thousands of North Korean troops to help reclaim territory taken by Ukraine. Earlier this month, senior defense officials acknowledged that that the Defense Department may not be able to send all of the remaining $5.6 billion in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks passed by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in. Trump has talked about getting some type of negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia, and spoken about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin . Many U.S. and European leaders are concerned that it might result in a poor deal for Ukraine and they worry that he won't provide Ukraine with all the weapons funding approved by Congress. The aid in the new package is in presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take weapons off the shelves and send them quickly to Ukraine. This latest assistance would reduce the remaining amount to about $4.35 billion. Officials have said they hope that an influx of aid will help strengthen Ukraine’s hand, should Zelenskyy decide it’s time to negotiate. One senior defense official said that while the U.S. will continue to provide weapons to Ukraine until Jan. 20, there may well be funds remaining that will be available for the incoming Trump administration to spend. According to the Pentagon, there is also about $1.2 billion remaining in longer-term funding through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which is used to pay for weapons contracts that would not be delivered for a year or more. Officials have said the administration anticipates releasing all of that money before the end of the calendar year. If the new package is included, the U.S. has provided more than $64 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022.Guardiola's announcement has sparked a wave of speculation and reflection within the footballing community. Fans, players, and fellow managers have expressed their support and gratitude for Guardiola's contributions to the sport. His influence on football tactics and philosophy is undeniable, and his legacy will undoubtedly endure for years to come.

As a smooth-talking media and political pundit, Colman Domingo ’s Muncie Daniels is used to commenting on politics and the news — not becoming the news — in The Madness . However, his fate will quickly change for the worse when we meet him in the new series. When the CNN personality discovers the dead body of a white supremacist in the woods near where he’s staying in the Poconos, he winds up in the crosshairs of law enforcement and possibly framed for murder — and even his lawyer friend Kwesi (Deon Cole) warns the silver-tongued Muncie, “You’re not going to be able to talk your way out of this.... They are going to pin all this on you.” In this paranoia-inducing Netflix thriller, Daniels finds himself in the middle of a sprawling conspiracy that delves into the darkest corners of society and explores the intersections between the wealthy and powerful, the alt-right, and other fringe movements. “[The series] is examining the climate we’re in right now,” Domingo teased to TV Insider. “Who sows those seeds of disinformation? Who’s puppeteering all of this?” To clear his name, Muncie must figure out whether to trust FBI agent Franco Quiñones (John Ortiz) and reconnect with his working-class, activist roots in Philadelphia while reuniting with his family, which includes teenage son Demetrius (Thaddeus J. Mixson), estranged wife Elena (Marsha Stephanie Blake), and daughter Kallie (Gabrielle Graham) from a previous relationship. “He’s trying to solve a crime,” creator Stephen Belber previews, “but at the same time he’s trying to solve something inside of himself.” To find out what else we should know about the new thrill ride, we spoke to The Color Purple and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom star Colman Domingo — who played Victor Strand on Fear the Walking Dead for eight seasons, won an Emmy for Euphoria , and was nominated for a 2024 Oscar for the civil rights drama Rustin — about the bind in which Muncie finds himself in The Madness , the similarities he shares with the character, and the resonance of a story that speaks to our age of online disinformation and conspiracy theories. Why were you drawn to this series and this character? What about it made you say yes to it? Colman Domingo: There’s so much about it that is raising questions about who are we in America right now. What do you believe in? And what are you believing? What’s being fed to you? These are questions that I have deep in my heart, and the series is bringing out those thoughts I have in the back of my head. Like who is manipulating all of us? I do believe there’s people feeding the public misinformation, but it benefits people with money, power, and position. Are there similarities you share with Muncie? Wildly enough, he’s from my neighborhood, from West Philly. He’s a college professor. So am I. There’s a lot of similarities. He’s a public-facing person. Even some of his ideology, where he believes that if you just get people at the table to sit and have a civil conversation, things will get better. I do believe that. I actively do that in my life. And I thought, “Oh, I understand Muncie. I understand what he’s trying to do.” But then the series takes him on another journey to actually go more full-throttle and understand all the dynamics he’s been espousing but not really having to get in the mud with. Is Muncie’s journey in the series a metaphor for how we’re all trying to make sense of this firehose of facts and information, along with disinformation, conspiracy-mongering, and lies that are coming at us 24/7? Yeah. It’s your modern-day North By Northwest, your modern-day Three Days of the Condor. He’s an everyman who has to go on this journey that he’s not ready to go on. He didn’t even know he’s been preparing for it. He was just living his best life, has a great position at CNN, and has been studying jujitsu for his own health. But he didn’t know that he’d need all that to go down the rabbit hole for real. What’s Muncie’s relationship like with his estranged wife, son Demetrius, and his older daughter Kallie from another relationship? All of it is precarious. What’s going on between he and his wife, we made it a gray area. Maybe they both started out as young activists, and the other one moved into celebrity, and the other one is a college professor, and they’re just not meeting [each other] where they used to be. It was more about having a crisis of faith in each other. Then with his daughter [Kallie], he made choices when he was younger, in a relationship he was in before he went to an Ivy League school. So he’s sort of been a deadbeat dad in that way. Then with his younger son, he’s sort of an absentee father. He believes he’s doing the best that he can by providing financially and showing up when he can. But I think he’s been a bit selfish. So this whole crisis is helping him examine not only who he is, but who has he been—and not been—to his family. Now he’s got to do some relationship repair; at the same time, he’s trying to advocate and save his own life and protect his family. Has he lost himself a bit over the years in pursuit of success and ambition? I think so. But I think if you asked Muncie, he wouldn’t say that. I think he believed, no, it’s okay to change. It’s OK to have access and agency. But I think at some point he didn’t realize even in the position that he had, he was just all talk. He was just a talking head. He wasn’t actually doing anything but adding to the noise of the media circuit business. In the crisis that he goes through, how does his family help him to survive? I think he didn’t realize how much he needed them. When we meet him, he’s in a place of stasis. He’s been trying to write this book for years. So he decided to go to the Pocono mountains to try and start writing something. Then he goes on this journey. I think it’s a beautiful hero’s journey. He didn’t know he needed all these things. He didn’t know he needed a heart. He didn’t know he needed a brain...It is ‘no place like home.’ But he realized that his home was attached to other things like celebrity, clothing, and having access. But all of that became more superficial than he even imagined. Amanda Matlovich / Netflix Muncie was a housing activist in his youth, and he reconnects with his West Philly roots and the people in his life from that time. How does he change during the course of the series? I think it’s about helping him to bridge the two parts of himself. It’s one of the first arguments that my character has with the fantastic Eisa Davis, who plays Renee, while hosting a show on CNN. And it’s at the core of the problem. For me, it’s a question of, “What’s the best way?” He’s like, “I am Black and I don’t have to actually be out on the streets anymore. I have more access here on television where I can affect a lot of more people.” And so for me, it’s raising the question of, “Is that right or is that wrong? Or is there a balance of both?” How do race and systemic racism factor into the story of a Black man who gets blamed for the death of a white supremacist? How do you think that will be eye-opening for some viewers? Race plays into it a great deal. Muncie is someone who is probably very adept at code-switching [adjusting one’s style of speech, appearance, and expression to conform to a given community and reduce the potential for discrimination]. When you have celebrity and access, you live more in a bubble where you’re probably not perceived in certain ways. But when all of that goes away, once Muncie has to let go of his Range Rover, his Tom Ford suits, and his position at CNN, he’s perceived as just another ordinary Black man on the street. So even when he goes into that New York shop and changes into a T-shirt, baseball cap, and hoodie [to disguise himself], he’s trying to normalize. Before, he believed was a bit more elevated in some way. I love the question that [his estranged wife] Elena asked him: “What were you doing going over to this white man’s house out in the woods? You felt like you had the privilege to do that? You have to always be careful. You don’t know what’s on the other side. You’re a Black man in America.” He forgot for a moment. What does the title, The Madness , refer to? I think it’s about the madness that we’re all living in when it comes to the 24-hour news cycle and trying to download and sift through information. It’s maddening! And also, I think the madness is also internal, that internal struggle of like, “Who are you, and what do you believe in? Who is real, and who is not?” I think that’s the madness. The Madness , Series Premiere, Thursday, November 28, Netflix This article first appeared on TV Insider and was syndicated with permission.Barbara Taylor Bowman, a nationally recognized leader in early childhood education, devoted her life to improving how youngsters are taught through Chicago’s Erikson Institute, which offers training to teachers. “One of the most important lessons she taught me was that with hard work and a passionate determination, you can change what is into what ought to be,” said her daughter, Valerie Jarrett, Obama Foundation CEO and former White House senior adviser. “I think her experience in the classroom and the research that she did informed her about how important investing in young children can be — it sets their lives on an upward trajectory, and it needs to be followed by primary and secondary education as well.” Bowman, 96, died of heart failure Nov. 4 at University of Chicago Medicine, her daughter said. She was a longtime resident of the South Kenwood neighborhood. Barbara Bowman, then-student supervisor at the Chicago School for Early Childhood Education, later renamed the Erikson Institute, in Chicago on Aug. 21, 1967. (William Loewe/Chicago Tribune) Born Barbara Taylor on Chicago’s South Side, her father was Robert Rochon Taylor, who chaired the Chicago Housing Authority in the 1940s and later was the namesake of a now-demolished South Side CHA complex. Her grandfather, Robert Robinson Taylor, in 1892 was the first Black person to graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was the first Black accredited architect in the U.S. Bowman grew up in the Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments. She attended Hyde Park High School then transferred to Northfield Mount Hermon, a preparatory school, in Northfield, Massachusetts. Bowman received a bachelor’s degree from Sarah Lawrence College and taught at the University of Chicago Laboratory School while earning a master’s degree in education from the University of Chicago in 1952. “I discovered I loved it and never looked back,” Bowman told the Tribune in 2013. “I discovered how interesting young children were. I found them intellectually fascinating, not just warm and cuddly. Why were they doing what they were doing and how do you explain what they are doing?” In 1950, Bowman married Dr. James Bowman. The couple lived in Denver for several years, but Dr. Bowman struggled to find a job at a major academic teaching hospital, leading them to look at opportunities outside the U.S. Her husband was offered the job of helping to start the first major hospital in Shiraz, Iran, and chair its department of pathology, Jarrett said. The couple moved to Iran in 1955 and then moved to London before returning in 1962 to Chicago, where her husband became a professor at the U. of C. Bowman taught nursery school at the Chicago Child Care Society in Hyde Park for several years. In 1966, Bowman teamed up with two colleagues from her days working at the U. of C.’s Lab School, psychologist Maria Piers and social worker Lorraine Wallach, to form what became known as the Erikson Institute. Funded by philanthropist Irving B. Harris, the Erikson Institute was conceived as a graduate school for child development that aimed to train those working in the federal government’s recently created Head Start program, an education and social services program for low-income preschoolers. “She wasn’t just a leader — she was a visionary, a builder, a nurturer,” said Erikson Institute President Mariana Souto-Manning. “She had a steadfast commitment to the field of early childhood education and an ability to push everyone forward, to focus on action, even when things didn’t look great.” Linda Gilkerson, a professor at Erikson, recalled a paper Bowman wrote on self-knowledge as a professional competency. “That was a very big idea — a very new idea, that there’s formal knowledge that you know in a field, and then there’s knowledge of yourself and your culture, and you have to look at that as well,” Gilkerson said. “Now we talk about reflective practice and we act like it was always around but it wasn’t — Barbara was one of the people who put that on the map.” Another colleague, Jie-Qi Chen, said what struck her about Bowman was her modesty. “The week of her 96th birthday ... she wrote a message to the Erikson community and she said, ‘I want people to know, this wasn’t a solo effort. It was a selfless group of people united by a common goal, and I was like, ‘Wow, she thought about it like a community impact, rather than her own legacy or her own contribution,’” Chen said. For years, Bowman held graduation ceremonies for Erikson’s graduates in the backyard of her home in Kenwood. “She opened up both her home and her heart to people about whom she cared deeply, and because Erikson was her second child, if you will, she wanted the graduates and their family members to feel like they were part of a broader family, the Erikson family,” Jarrett said. “And what better place to do that but her backyard.” Bowman later headed graduate studies at Erikson and was acting dean for a time. She also was president of Erikson from 1982 until 1983 and again from 1994 until 2001, and she was acting co-president from 2013 until 2014. “We now know that quality early childhood care and education are the bedrock for future success in school and in life,” she wrote in the Tribune in 1996. “While everyone agrees with the goal of breaking the cycle of welfare dependency, the trick is doing it without harming our children and creating bigger, more costly long-term problems in the process.” Bowman retired from Erikson just one week before her death, and she never stepped down from its board, Jarrett said. “I can’t tell everyone else to work hard if I don’t work hard too,” Bowman told the Tribune in 2013. “And it is not like I don’t like doing most of the things I do. It is not punishment. I am enjoying doing it.” Bowman took leave from Erikson for about eight years in the early 2000s to work for then-Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan. When Duncan was appointed U.S. Secretary of Education, he once again sought Bowman’s counsel, which she provided for about six months on a part-time basis at the outset of the administration of President Barack Obama. “She led all of my early childhood education efforts at both CPS and DOE, and did so with impeccable integrity, effectiveness and urgency,” Duncan said. “She dramatically expanded access to high-quality pre-kindergarten education for so many disadvantaged, and deserving, young children. She knew this was the surest path to academic success, and ultimately out of poverty.” Bowman was president of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, a professional organization that accredits early childhood programs, and she published dozens of journal articles, gave hundreds of speeches and lectures and served for several terms on the board of Roosevelt University. “She taught me by her example how to be successful both professionally but more important as a human being,” Jarrett said. “She was famous for saying it’s not what happens to you in life but what you do about it.” Bowman’s husband died in 2011. In addition to her daughter, Bowman is survived by a granddaughter; and two great-grandchildren. Erikson Institute is planning to host a memorial service this coming spring, Jarrett said.
