and the team and now studio and washington dc and sarah loud don't. trump certainly hasn't mucked around. so i'm getting this a 2nd 10 on the way that is absolutely fair. that is a fair characterization and a fair statement. he has not knocked around. he has got the business. thank you tom . it's great to be with you again and welcome to our capitol hill studio. in the heart of washington dc. we're just a few blocks away from the white house, and you can see where donald trump was born in yesterday taking the oath of office be coming before the 7th president of the united states. so as you say, he's been very busy. now he signed a raft of executive orders uh when he asked to taking office yesterday. i don't want to treat you to something that has never happened in this nation's history a moment when he signed the very 1st executive orders of his 2nd term as presidents . and that was in the stadium of the capital one,

sports arena in the center of washington, dc in front of thousands of trump support us. take a look at this the okay this, that's something that i was referring to, but we will get you that a little later i'm going to go straight to the white house house is yours, mike. hannah is standing by. mike, i understand all the trump is going to announce the big investments in a. i know it's hard not to notice that yesterday that the titans of the us tech

industry old attended donald trump's inauguration, including uh, the leader of uh, the, the ceo of open a i some out men who also was one of those that made a big investment to trump in our girls' fund, if should we be connecting those dots, is there a connection there? and what is this investment about? as well as be very clear, we're going to get full details of what exactly it is, but they may not be a connection between the contributions and the focus on a i, remembering of course of the, by the ministration. also played a major focus on a, i is the critical part of the countries future and indeed at the global future. so the dots may not be as close together as they appear. but what is interesting is the way that tech leaders have come in behind the trump administration. as we mentioned, the vast majority of them contributed substantially to his campaign and to the

innovation events. so that has been advice of shift within the tech community towards donald trump. the one area in which to look at where they might be docs to be connected is of course with regard to crypto, given that the trunk family is connected to tip to uh, production and a company that will be producing it. so any move that was said, crypto techs who are close or have given donations to the trump campaign, is something that would be looked at closely. like i would ask you if you cover the 1st trump administration, i wonder if you're seeing detecting feeling at this very early stage differences in how his team is going about business at the moment as well. it was clear within a week of his election that things were going to be very different this time around . i mentioned that because within that week he basically nominated every member of

his cabinet. now, previously in the last to a took a lot longer than that to even get the nominations into play. so this shows the degree to which it was planned ahead in which the case in which the strategy had be mapped out very clearly to be able to get those names out so quickly. the other change you seen is that it is previous to a comp reliant, very much on advise, is around in a political flex as well. and he's 1st chief with stuff came directly from the republican party committee at this time. he's actually selected people who see is close to whose loyalty he knows he can count on. if you look, for example, how many members of the cabinet come from florida and even his chief of staff has been working probably that for a long period of time. so we are looking at a very different situation here. he's not taking outside those who has no knowledge

of who he appointed as a rick of on recommendation of others. this time is very clearly. yeah. carefully selected candidates for those cabinet posts who have a close tie to him, and who above all actually loyal to him. this may not be in the case in his 1st administration. so it is very, very different than what we are seeing as these cabinet combinations get confirmed . it is a much clearer picture of a functioning administration than we saw in the chaotic 1st weeks office. first. this is mike hannah, reporting from the white house. thank you very much for that. we appreciate it. no trouble. spic for secretary of state, marco rubio has become a, has been confirmed, and that means market. rubio becomes the 1st hispanic americans, americans become secretary of state. listen to what you have to say. this is in many ways, and again, it was referenced by president trump yesterday in this, in

a speech that he designs that his overriding goal for global policy is the promotional piece. the avoidance of conflict and no agency will more be more critical in that regard than this one. in fact, is expounding principle and purpose. and that's what we endeavor to do, to promote peace around the world, because that's in our national interest without peace, it is hard to be a strong nation, a prosperous nation, and one that is better off. but there will also be challenges. we recognize that there will be those times unfortunately it as humans interact with one another because of our nature. but there will be conflict. we will seek to prevent them and avoid them, but never at the expense of our national security. never at the expense of our national interest, and never at the expense of our core values as a nation. and as a people. okay, want to be a nation of peace, but sometimes there's conflict and that's human nature. let's talk about that in the context of them, at least with our panel, how that again the you are a visiting scholar at the center for contemporary arb cities at georgetown university. thank you for being with us. and benjamin friedman,

policy director of defense priorities. we need to have a conversation about where the trump administration is, is going, as it's, you know, it's now got his hand on the steering wheel as relates the israel palestine, which is which has never been this much influx, i think is fair to say. and that gives trump an opportunity to put his stamp on what's going to happen. what do you expect to see how the as well i, i think the, what i don't expect to see is a lot of coherence in terms of a foreign policy vision. i mean we've, we've heard some press of words from, from mark or rubio. i'm not sure how that's going to translate in terms of reality is on the ground and the palestine. israel have traditionally been a car about in us foreign policy, whether it was respect for human rights or pursuit of other us interest. and i would expect that that would, that would continue that in there would be palestine and israel will be treated

differently. so regardless of whatever grand vision uh, the administration lays out for its foreign policy. benjamin one thing that trump administration has already done in the last 24 hours is lift the binding era sanction sanctions that were imposed by the binding administration. a few months ago really on is really settlers who had committed violence against palestinians. does that give us maybe a direction of travel? absolutely. i think the divided ministration was hypocritical. others matter. i mean, they did almost nothing to back up their words of criticism of israel and that yahoo are the treatment of civilians, guys a uh, the actions the suburbs of the westbank. expanding the ward of web at odd syria ranch. but the one little thing they did was this sections against some of the settlers, which is almost a symbolic act. and of course trump, as i've done that, and he's not a hypocrite on this, he's just more openly in favor of, uh,

settlements of, uh, not the ad doing any possibility of a 2 state solution. and even of using the human rights of palestinians. he doesn't really make any bones about that. he is fairly clear. so i think now we're going to see administration that's even more devoted to sort of the is rarely interest as defined by benjamin that yahoo and his government, they have divided ministration, which was pretty far in that direction to ok. even more devoted to is really interest. well in that case, there's a sound bite that i want to play for both of you and then i'll hear you on the back of it. this is from at least the sonic the person, the trunk, wants to install as us ambassador to the united nations. and this happened during her confirmation hearing today. listen to this. i did ask you whether you subscribe to the views of finance ministers, much rich of i am, sorry, if i most rich, this is rarely finance ministers. most rich and, and the former national security minister, ben, you the, or who believe that israel has

a biblical right to the entire westbank. and in that conversation, you told me that yes, you share that view. is that your view today? yes, a this is real. have a biblical right. you heard the question to the entire westbank, at least the phonics, said one word. yes. is that going to be you think the that the jumping to the sessions policy? this is, by the way, i should point out completely contrary to what has been official us policy stated us policy for years. yeah, i mean, i think on his face it's alarming that us official would, would use the scripture of any religion to as a basis for formulating us foreign policy. you mean united states is not if the ok receipts um, at least not at the present moment. and so that, that piece of it i think is, is alarming. but i think it's generally in line with the, from vision of the, you know, the, the 1st trump administration was very much in favor of the greater israel. remember,

in bassett or david friedman, was also a believer in, in greater israel and the rejection of a palestinian state. and that israel had a biblical claim to all of the land. and so how does, how does that square with a 2 state solution to the united states officially supports, but it's efficiently supported, perhaps under the previous administration rights? not clear that the trump administration officially supports the 2 state solution. and i think that that remains to be see it. so you think that's going to be, i mean, are we looking at annexation of the west bank to be clear? is that some of the ministration would support, actively support. i think trump and asked about it before he was present. it said now is not the right time or something to that effect. and maybe the right time is, is coming soon though, so i'm not sure. you know, there's always a little bit of unpredictability with trump that he can sort of get angry at different countries. and he's got bad at that job before for sort of silly reasons that he congratulated. bided too fast with trump last election,

but for the most part, i think the answer is if israel, under this government there wants to an extra westbank, chances are the trump administration will be there cheering for them to do it. and stopping on the wave of the 2 state solution that seems like a likely outcome. we already, we already know what trans policy was when it comes to training and working out a deal between israel and the palestinians, right? they already had a stab at it, it was his son in law, and john cushion or in particular, who worked out the deal. and the deal was very favorable to israel, very unstable to palestinians. but the idea was of a transaction. and the idea was prioritized the economy. and it's interesting because yesterday steve would cost a trans middle east and boy was laying out the, the foreign policy um the, the, the, the pillars of what are going, what i'm going to be the pillars of trump, diplomacy. and number 2, we're saying we're gonna use the economy, we're going to make deals and hopefully we can overcome his story,

grievances when i heard that i immediately thought of israel palestine. is there a deal to be made there that could satisfy both sides? um there, there is a theoretical deal i've had that that could satisfy the needs of both israelis and palestinians, and it's been on the table for a number of decades. i don't think that's the deal that enough administration has in mind. so that's not the one they put on the table last time, right? there's not that to, that's not the deal that, that, that was on the table. and i think there is a, there is very much a sense within the trump circle that palestinians could, uh, sort of forego their right to freedom and, and their basic human rights in return for economic development for a comic opportunities that has proven time. and again, i mean, this is an old tactic of the british during the mandates and, and previous to us and ministrations decades ago. so that is an attempt to, to sort of circumvent the political and human rights of palestinians that i don't

think is going to work or how it are getting the benjamin freedman. thank you very much for joining us, both on what is still a very cold evening here in washington dc. we appreciate your time. thank you so domestically president trump is also cracking down on immigration and an authorized border crossings. he is shutting down asylum, refugee admissions, declaring that all illegal entry will be halted and the millions will be deported. trump has declared a national emergency at the southern border and has told the department of defense to move troops to the border. the wheels were in motion for trump's integration and board a policy overall, but it comes at a time when the arrests were an authorized crossings that the southern border are actually lower than when trump, lest office and his 1st term. about 11000000 an authorized immigrants live in the us. many of bracing for trumps form is of mass deportations, though it is unclear how those will be carried out. and trump said that he will prioritize removing criminals while at other times saying all undocumented immigrants should pack their bags. alpha 0 is heidi show. castro reports from alamo,

texas. i guess those things are part of the 19 year old on a sophia has lived her whole life worrying us immigration officers will take away her mother. and when i was a little girl and i was scared about as for sometimes because i would be for your life when my mom doesn't come home. her mother be at least left mexico 20 years ago and settled in the us without authorization. what are we on the sophia was born shortly after, as a us citizen, and the to have been inseparable. the clean houses to survive. now they sell vegetables at a market near the border. some of the other one, the i was scared when she was little. now she's old enough to get by on her own, but i would do anything to say if they trying to put me be at 3 says she has no criminal record, but of immigration officers arrest her mother and daughter have a plan to cook and i must be i think so let me make one phone call. oh, cool,

my daughter and tell her how to close the business payoff. the house. i don't know . that would be so much to do the alamo. flea market has been here for 40 years, but never has been the target of an immigration rate. now with trumps promise that he will find undocumented immigrants where ever they are, underneath the markets buzz, there is a current affairs. i really don't know. like i think it was just like closed down for away or maybe it was opened up at the police. it will be closed out. there will be no where to shop. about 11000000 undocumented immigrants live in work in the us economies safety putting all of them would devastate the economy. and the mayor of macallan, texas, a republican agrees because a lot of times you have people that come illegally, but they are now very good, productive residents. of the united states, are you advocating that someone like that stays? definitely comes mass deportations also face major funding hurdles, leaving honest,

sophia hope both they won't happen is a very, very big fear battle. i hope he's so incompetent where he can't go through or whatever he sees a are people say he's like a 2 hour. he just parks but doesn't buy one. that's what is those 14 for now. mother and daughter say they'll carry on as normal on a sophia is studying journalism and college and be a priest says she's proud of her daughter. they hope to continue living there. american dream together. heidi joe castro out as the rest. alamo, texas side as president seizing thing, and his russian liter, vladimir, put in have held a video meeting following donald trump's in on your ration the to discuss ways to strength and relations after having declared a no limits partnership in 2022. their vehicle also covered how to build ties with trump. now that he's back in the white house, this is where you can you to meet them all going. so you wouldn't even find out the

china usb cannot make and tried. cooperation is mutually beneficial in nature, maintaining steady growth of economic and trade ties says the fundamental interests of both countries and peoples and is conducive to global economic growth. china is willing to strength and dialogue and communication with the united states. based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and when, when cooperation, properly managed differences and expand mutually beneficial cooperation. we hope that the united states will work with china to jointly promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of the phenomena and trade relations. a civil deal. yes. and the mom joins us. you are a professor of the badging foreign studies university. thank you for being with us . we want to discuss great power competition, especially as relates to china. we heard there russia in china looking what's happening right here in the us, you know, wondering how they're going to handle the next administration of trump. i wonder what you think how you think china is looking at this new incarnation of trump,

this new term? well, i think china has shown consistency and reliability in its relations with united states as we just heard, presidencies, stress, the importance of mutual respect when, when cooperation and for china, the doors always been open to working with united states. whatever the united states has said or done, and i think what's very important with the 2nd trump administration compared to the 1st is what the us is doing. so as we may remember during the 1st administration i, there was a lot of very negative china rhetoric, especially from trump, other team members of is uh, administration, my comp, a oh uh etc. and what struck that changed? well, this is what i wanted to say is that i think it has changed dramatically. and here's what's going on. so i was at the rally. i was at the in our gratian yesterday, and people talked about a trunk being on disciplined,

impulsive. um. i think he's actually remarkably on message and disciplined as his team. so what i noticed was that there was a lot of talk about the problems facing the united states. the sentinel prices, according to a cash patel. the on even on equal trade relationships, according to howard locked with the incoming secretary of commerce. but none of these were expressed as this is china killing americans with fentanyl. all this is china ripping us off. so i think this shows that mr. david l. he blames mexico for yes, you have split but not china. right? so i think the point here is that there is a realization that today's china is certainly not the china of 8 years ago and must be dealt with accordingly. i think what's highly symbolic is president trump invitation of presidency to the inauguration. he's still threatening paris. what does donald trump wants to get out of china with this threat of terrace?

well, he's certainly this would have an important impact on chinese businesses. if tariffs are escalated, but the way what i've heard, according to president trump is that terrorists are seen as a general tool to secure the prosperity of the american people. as he said in several of his speeches of the past couple of days, he wants to create a department of x terminal revenue, not an internal revenue to correct to come to collect money from terrace. but the question remains, what does he want to get out of china if he is threatening china with terrorist it is to get what? well, i see this as actually creating opportunity for china, because at the same time he does want to raise terrace for the benefit of the american people. but he also wants to lower inflation. so if these are truly important goals i'm, it's hard to imagine a better partner than china to help the united states, lower the cost of everything from clothing, electronics, electric vehicles,

solar panels, but again, well, you know, again there, there are, i think national security considerations, but the u. s. is considering. okay, well let me jump in that because there's, there's picked up right on the horizon. so take talk has been banned by a bi partisan law here. it either needs to dies best from its chinese over. so ownership or it will be banned in the us and donald trump has given them a little bit more time. but that law remains. and when he was asked about this yesterday in the white house, he says, well, i need to talk with china about this. what we'll see, what we can do, what does that comes? so yeah, look like. well, i think i'm good. i'm glad you raised that because i see tick. tock is a microcosm of the future of the china us relation relationship. so you're absolutely right that the us government in a bi partisan way has said that the tick tock is a national security threat. but do we also think about what president trump is said regarding this? i keep very clearly very became at least

a call tick tock it national security threat of fast for to today where he is said i have was a warm spot in my heart for tick tock because it helped me when the youth bowed by more than 30 points, so i think what this tells us about the future of the china us relationship is that on the white chick talk, china can find a way to advance or interest. uh, president trump, uh, american politicians more broadly that there may be a greater pragmatism and flexibility because again, i think what a tick tock is done is they've done a masterful job of demonstrating their ability to provide decisive value to donald trump as well as other american politicians, what i've heard from a certain legal experts following this very closely is what may happen. so you're absolutely right that the president from can uh issue a delay. but what will the ultimate resolution that actually uh, a uh,

congress passing another law that may revise or perhaps even repeal tip top is we've seen some democrats like chuck schumer also come out now and say fairly positive things about take talk again. if we were to go back a year or 2, that would have been unthinkable that we would be in this situation any more. thank you so much for joining us. you are a professor at the paging far and studies university. thanks for your time. this evening. i am going to hand it back to doha, but i'm looking down because we are expecting momentarily donald trump to come out . this is happening at the white house and speak. now we did mention that he was going to announce a big investment in artificial intelligence. so we expect that he will be doing that momentarily and with that tone back to you. thanks so much sarah. i appreciate that. and like you say, we will be saying right across the statements from donald trump that we are expecting us shortly. we'll do some other news in the meantime,

im 23 rebels in the democratic republic of congo have seized a key town in the east. local officials consumes the capture of the nova. the town is a supply route to government, which is the capital of north cubic province. within 230000 people have fled the fighting between the government forces and in 23. since the start of the line by connie has more now from gun this as happened as variables coverage of the also some of the key areas of the controlled by the d. c on the last week. and now people here in this town of my watering dr. group was a full listing for this ale from nova to the new i was selling the of go my. some of the bones, even for coming from the front lines, is reaching some of the nibble, a hold of coma we, nova was hosting, for example, 6000 internal distress people at all these people. some of them are trying to make

the road for out of this area to see how they can get filters here in the toner. go my way or most for me the people were displaced due to the ongoing call for the, the fighting between the 2 groups of escalate of the, the, out of the government to us to refuse any dialogue with them for the 2 variables. accusing them to be bought to buy. one of them doesn't matter because this one always has a get to buy the political government and no implement to rebels. a thing that's they don't want to negotiate with the government, but they want to progress for the palestinian content creation is played a crucial role in documenting as well as genocide and cancer. they use the platforms on social media to showcase the harsh realities of war. here's a story of a my newly who's she had heard dining life and cancer with millions of followers. and the just one did you have to recognize them because it was so high that i used to watch videos. others with chair that were all about marchers,
