we have to make it worth setting the discussions. obviously you cannot last deportations of millions of people on day one, exploring abundance of wealth cloth programming. if you want an image of the, comes from using a tradition, then here it is designed to inform, motivates and into fine. we are the ones that are actually shaping the future that we want to live in. on ology 0, it's funding cold and it's stuff sent home. the world's largest international humanitarian. donna usa id is under assault, that the trump administration doesn't restore the flow of age who will fill the void. and what does it mean for the locals? us central is this is inside story, the

hello and welcome to the program. i'm elizabeth put on him. president donald trump's administration is dismantling the us agency for international development. oh usa id for decades. it's been the world's premie. yeah. humanitarian agency distribution, live saving medications combating the spread of disease and providing disaster relief and conflict phones. thousands of employees have been placed on leave and aid recipients, and more than a 150 countries have been left in limbo, spearheading federal budget costs as building it in on mosque and has department of government efficiency. while it may represent an instant saving on the books, will they be in on seen costs to american influence, and called the quotes and not blocking yet a novel of trumps endeavors. we'll get to those questions at the moment, but 1st this report by my collateral of the mold. in 60 years, the united states agency for international development has been at the full front

of every global humanitarian initiative food parcels, medication h, i v aids testing kits, civil service capacity building and developing nations. us a id was behind it all. us 8 has been that he gets the entire refund and i would what i would say that a number of people close to 20000000 people are receiving era. these types of treatment of testing services from the funds that suicide has been providing to us . but that's all stopped at least for now. us president donald trump sees the aid agencies 2023 budget to $40000000000.00 as a waste of money to work and not and aligned with his america 1st agenda. i love the concept, but they turn out to be a radical left lunatics. us a id was established by john f. kennedy. in 1961. he signed an executive order

which created it as an independent agency. but it's coming to the cross. hes a billionaire. he loan mosca, department of government efficiency, a task force, but via one of trump's executive orders. us a i d, 's website has been taken down and then noticed placing roughly 10010 employees on administrative leave is all that remains. as the announcement met with anger on the streets of washington, dc and promises of cortex. and the key issue with mux actions is that it's happening in this zone that we could best describe as a gray legal zone, or perhaps more accurately described as a zone of illegality. so he is effectively shutting down an american

government agency that requires an act of congress. it's a question that keeps cropping up with an act of congress to do away with us, say id or you believe you have. i don't know the way of not when it comes to fraud . if this for are these people are lunatics and it would, if it comes to fraud, you wouldn't have an active talk from once america to project strength at home and abroad. he's costing aside anything he sees is impacting his administration's bottom line. it's a move critics say. the clay is the age of america. soft power, well and truly of mike level. oh to 0 for inside story. the as well that spring and i guess from washington dc, we joined by heart and lang, the vice president for programs and policy at refugees international in colchester

. and the u. k. is natasha instead of us foreign policy specialist and a professor of government at the university of essex. and, and i wrote b is alan boswell, the international crisis groups project director for the horn of africa, a very warm welcome to all of you natasha. i'll start with you in colchester. the us says that every dollar it spends has to be justified with the answer to the questions. does that make america safer? most stronger and more prosperous is the freezing of us a id in line with these goals? no, not at all. i mean, this is such a significant shift in us military policy and it is not making american safer, but it's definitely not making many people who are vulnerable safer because usa had was, was instrumental in providing life saving dark scenes. i mean, all the work that if we just even look at the area of global health for usa to work

in partnership with organizations like how far to, to help prevent the spread of aids. saving somewhere around $26000000.00 lines or work to support the now larry vaccine, or to to find malaria which kills $450000.00 children under 5. and your work, i'm not, has sold save some 7000000 lines or in finding tv, which kills over a 1000000 people still and their work. and that has, has save some 79000000 people. so in addition to all the work that they do in the health care field, they are instrumental and disaster relief in providing food aid and also in support of democracy. yeah, so, so this is really catastrophic on a number of funds. hudden, it's aiesha talks about how devastating this is for vulnerable communities, especially how does it look for the wells,

which is 9 in on mosque to be unplugging, a lifeline to the world's poorest people? hey, i was like, is there a way which america has shown up in the rest of the world? and the view of watching al jazeera and we are taking you live to this ongoing coverage of the release of posting in a prison. this home is ready, detention, holding a morning in which a 3 is ready, companies were released from cause a. this is the european hospital in gaza. the final destination of a large number of public opinion. so you've been housings ready, a detention, a $111.00 in total would obtain from gods as, as the stock of the war. they have arrived across the car. i will sell them crossing into kaiser itself. this exchange shall come to us for prisoners, all being orchestrated by the international committee of the red cross.

we understand that at least so full of those promising is released from is ready to tension. have because of the poor condition that they were in a being send to hospital for immediate medical attention. one of the male, the youngest, 21, the oldest, 61. 18 of them being serving life sentences for committing a number of attacks. of uh, 7 of them we understand will be deported as part of this arrangement. so many of them coming originally from off of prison and the occupies westbank. so interesting all sorts of notes that most of the palestinians, the prisoners who were detained from gaza were being released at the moment uh, were handled and then a tourist kept seal present in the negative desert. if you've been following

developments over the past few months, i think is isaac regarding the treatment of palestinians, and it's ready to attention that particular facility and several others in the negative deserts was subject to an investigation 5. but some of these are the human rights. so can i say sion that uh uh, documented cases of sexual mental and physical abuse in that particular facility. so we'll just see. 6 can imagine the families and loved ones of those returning when we're very keen to see what kind of health, what kind of condition the site will be returning to that speak to target. can i have to assume for us the following developments in gaza. he's at the european hospital, i would kind of like gives a sense of the scene that way you yes or in fact uh need the palestinian release. that to me is i've just arrived to the rep in the hospital, in the city of hon unit southern because of strep. now they started to come out of

the vehicles on the passes that were carrying them from work off of will come up with some of them across the board. i know they are on the way to on the go initial maybe cold checks that have been provided since the hours of this morning by the the international committee of the red cross. i can see that at least a 100, i'm fact say one, tell us thing and release that. so these are coming right now. out of these boxes we can see 3 passes the neighborhood way through california and destiny is raising the sign of victory. and they are obviously looking very exhausting, exhausted as they are suffering from different sorts of total charge. offering the other periods in east valley, the tension, their beloved ones cannot wait to be re united with them as a police are trying to impose security on control and dairy upon their families.

have been completely away and separated from them. uh, for more than 20 years, we are talking about more than a $111.00 policy. and that to me is i have been detained photo in october. the something that, that tech and now the vast majority of the families do not know much about that face unless the international committee of the red cross contacts and informed the believes about the release of the loved ones from the is very j. o. so we can see now a palestinian vegetables are coming out of from the 1st cost and they are entering into the medical chick points in order to finish the initial uh, initial okay, medical checks out of sorry let's take a pause there. i'm just listening to the sounds that people gather that the silver sleep i meant as my meant for those opportunities to go to the assessments. that the

who we are looking at so may be particularly surprising. full, many people, obviously the fates of some of those on both that coach or online uh,

with family members. not knowing if the loved ones are alive is dad's tamrica you of the listening in what single one of these says seems to unfold. there was so many so many questions about the fates of some of these men. many of them were arrested on mass. we saw pretty horrific pictures of men being stripped blindfolded and let away of many of them returning their family members don't knowing if they were alive or dead tired. 2 as that, sorry, the, the, this happened during this very minute treat, encourage, and in different geographical locations in the cause, especially that is where the minutes we conducted. why display the ground, the operations, and the noise at the strip and the central area and in the south too many of those civilians were talking about $211.00. a palestinian duction to use have been detained during these military operations officer, october the 7th,

and today they all are they all completely re unite to the again with the families off to spend a whole month and is by the detention cup. we sent the rustic pictures and you can see from the past few of expressions of those depths, it needs that they were suffering, gave me the, is really detention camps, especially the detention come that had the front of a remarkable bad reputations, including se, dates among many debts and you'd have been released from such a detention cup in which there was completely to judge cumulated and completely disregard to buy these very occupation forces and is very jail authority is basically they are quite happy. there is a very huge send. some ends up, do you feel that you shouldn't, for the families who have been waiting for them, we can see how those destinies are rising. the victory sign on. they are

really completely happy for such a moment, but they are thanks for it to be exhausted. i can see that elderly men and men with different ages have been allowed to be released today and to be re united with the family and the time. what's the new point? we understand this is our head is very operations. yeah. i was ration in the notice of this strip have completely led to a double spacing and fox and there's that to me use um in terms of these operations at least, but okay, for example, says what able to detain many civilians who have no connection to the policy on page. i'm anyways on monday, monday of them. well, some piece of williams are living peacefully in the homes to our eclipse at a. let's have a pause. the view is just a 2nd, some of the atmosphere. there are this important moment. the,

i'm sorry, can i think one thing to reflect so you just to touched upon it. there is to it's, um, is there any indication that any of these men were actually charged by these radio authorities? would anything the sorry, are you with us still? yeah, i guess we, i can hear you. sorry. i was just saying, is there any indication that any of these men returning to gaza and d being charged with anything by these radio authorities? well uh we understand that uh their families got some information once they were

released, that they have completely gone through horrific times and it was very j o spot. they were not charged with any sort of i q stations, or any additional information that they weren't guilty during any sort of legal actions, but they have been detained as a part of these ready ministry. peroration involving casa for a psych facility and say completely understand that the ministry has been using and full and berries flip a flip, military approach, which is the detention of california. and i may tell us who is above 6 to you in the area as well. this very minute, your occupation forces operating and we have seen this quite v. as in the city of casa on in japan, the refuge account was the civilians who decided to not leave the homes and to remain in the northern gauze where the change was put down by the dropped forces on one of those people plus some of the stuff we got the direct stuff all come on. i

just want us to someone who has been detained by the east, very occupation forces in the latest military's encouraging for the city of the valley. i recommend you come so deuce to these have witness different sorts of accumulation. 5 the, the, the are quite the level of exhaustion is the price of years old. if i you say they are suffering from malnutrition on they have lost a significant amount of weight during that detention period. it is very detention comes in comparison with these very top this who was released today in boots health condition on. okay, so we just look back on how was the conditional boost is running tough to to were released before they were completely in a very good tell turn this a record to be. let me do receive the got, sorry, going thing with you, the you've oversee got a better view of this then. so we have but what we are seeing on our screens appears to be the arrival of another bus. is that correct?

yes, this is the best for us that is carrying the rest of the policy and release that to you. and we are ready to think that the goal of the box would be open shortly in order to allow for that to use to a start going out and coming out from the vehicle. now the started to completely, completely come out from the bus to be, you know, i said again with the family that nice. so now my own still a has cost house of boss on $12.00 usually has the most significant level of waste . unfortunately, the seed is very dramatic, mixed with a sense of do selection happening. but at the same time varies, unremarkable multiple grief regarding the great losses on the level of accumulation. there was a kind of sydney and such in his hop into it. not only in the east bed of jose bought it during the journey to the detention they had been beaten, a brutally assault to fight these ready occupation forces. they are not given

nothing of the thing to a medical cast. as here's ready, jail searches have been depending on using very strict aggressive way of a treatment would do is deputies. we can see that some of the things they should see is of happiness. as for the best on our united again, with the families, the scene is very dramatic. very emotional, overwhelming assemblies austin white seems to be reunited for the phrase the 1st time after spending fairly for a long time in east valley detention that they must 1st undergo unfinished. the medical check. the later they will get the opportunity to to completely be reunited again. sorry, sorry, let's just taking a, let's just taking this moment for a few seconds. i'm taking some of the sites, the sounds that the

attorney cubic giving us a sense of what awaits these men. uh, you suggest the 1st day? obviously medical checks are huge priority. but is it possible to say what kind of life these men over time? so does the directly you with us that yes or yes, the if i can hear you sorry, i understand you what you're pressing against the the sounds, the background sound than what i was asking you trying to accuse. is there any sense of what awaits these men? first of all, because even really medical checks, as you suggested that they more kind of life weights to and goes

off to finishing the medical check. they will be re united the gun with the. 5 police or will take them back to the neighborhoods and the areas that the use to live, but they will return to find a very we, it's and i'm expect to blend this case that type big why leads of the sites that are due to the is very many to reparation in garza, i'm the genocide of campaigns, our top tens that causes flip into a lifeless wastelands. these people have completely been detained as they do. do do, do, do, do know nothing about the reality that took place in garza following the is really a ministry encouraging of the strip. and now they would be quite shocked by the school of destruction that has been inflicted on the residential areas. and they realize that they have most menu of the friends that the loved ones and family members, many of those who are still undergoing this medical check. we'll be a completely surprised by the level of it changed. that was amazing. and how their

homes, villages, and the original towns have been left to ribbons. at phillips, in ruins, as a possibly is very admitted to genocide don't come by and they are trying to completely, they are trying completely to change the milestone of life in the gaza strip. you can see now one of the palestinian. 5 destiny is out, been released, has, has finished his medical check to be re united with his beloved one home right now and pricing, sharing some offerings, regretful craigslist for such moments that they have what miss today, what do we use that she has a spend behind the is really positive and he's very jails. in fact, it's very emotional. see not the moment. other, other families are still waiting outside needs to be reset the loved ones as we are about to finish the medical check. so they are playing around different songs. they

have been distributing celebrex re suite and they have been organizing different scenes of june relation to show i'm to come do so are coming degrees and to welcome the refund of 15 youth who have been a behind to prison for a very long time. this is a very dramatic seems to it is a new historic writing in the history of the policy. yeah, i think i believe the a 100 d p emotional, emotional sites terika. as you say, i'm, if you've just joined us here, and i would just say i, let's remind you of what we have be looking at. we're talking about the 5th swap of hostages for prisoners since the cx 5 began on january the 19th. what about halfway through the 1st phase of the deal, i was seeing the exchange of 3 is rated captives who are released from kaiser a little bit early on in the day. for

a 183 kind of sting in prison is detainees were mile. the youngest, where the wall, the oldest, the 6111 palestinian sewage obtained from cause as as the start of the war. i've been returning that to where a tyrant cabin resume has been there to witness the return. and tara q. we're talking about the many emotional significance can surface moments, and some of these men were arrested, detained at short notice. they were swept up with many others. they were taken to the unknown locations. they were held in detention, not knowing what my fate would be. and here they are returning to a gauze of some of the loved ones that family members may not have known whether they were alive or dead. give us a sense of the poignancy of the atmosphere, the mood that way you well the, the scene is quite overwhelming. need, in fact why those people are waiting for their beloved ones to finish their medical

to check on to understand how the ceiling, how is the general sentiment with them? i am joins right now by one of the fathers of the public opinion release prison. this is a right now as something next to me. you all to can add what comes in the other. congratulations on the release of your son. how do you feel today? as you receive your son after a long time spent and is it a in the presence? of course it's something that you can describe very happy, very elated. having my son released up to 14, the 14 months of detention by you. these are in the enemy. how was the moments now a to home, your family members? what do you expect about his mental health and the physical condition? of course, since we learned last night from the list of to be the least present as we couldn't

sleep last night. and we went out to here to me, it's all, what are the son when we saw how he looks, he has completely changed the we couldn't believe what we saw, how he was before detention and how he had it turned in. now this is an indication of that that was a lot of to charter. i'm the impression, i'm don't, mike, i'm like the treatment that we treat them. but there are places in arizona and kept is when they, where he lives from our people. they what us modeling the, what a happy, how would the old, what we can say is sang so to a law, of course, what we see is an describe. but what we are very happy. thank you. this is, this is the general sentiment. this is how the families and the beloved ones of this kind of thing and released debts and these are really facing guns have a and

a feeling regarding the return and the re union with that, the loved ones, they are sharing the very a profound level of grief due to the better human rights in the treatment that lose deputies have received an endorsement. these reading james, by the are so happy and later today that there are about to be reunited with the beloved ones as they have a should have different joyful tiers of reunion completely. it has been bites, as we've got mixed with different signs of degrees. the, regarding the unimaginable loss on the, on a relenting psychology, contains whose families and the prisoners at the destination has been enduring. a charge before before you go, i wonder if you can give us a sense of the level of hope. the level of optimism seems like this will continue, will be replicated as the currency is far one hopes move some one phase to another

. how people feeling about the well, people are quite uh, people are quite a believing that the, uh, the is very military might, if they are from a tearing to vinegar jasons of the 2nd phase, especially with the latest a statements and implements re, uh, suggestions made by the american president, donald trump, are quite, are quite a very, until about 3 people believe that this, it raises significant concerns about the durability of the ceasefire agreement. but i do believe that regional mediation will continue to accept pressure and carry out there. so the goose chase is an f, as in order to force both conflicting pot so use in order to completely bridge the gap and to reach a comprehensive agreement that will facilitate the a transition from the 1st to the 2nd phase, which is very significant. especially in terms of the entry of the uh,

temporary shelters, alongside with heavy machinery that will help civil defense. but just to start the removal of brussels and to clear all of these destroyed residential neighborhoods and to recover thousands of how the city until our stuff needs to be destroyed, instructed neighborhood. so for palestinians, the 2nd space is hardly a significance as they would be in naples to witness the complete uh, withdrawal of a, from the philadelphia. and it's a report, and we'll pass that we full, a permanent piece that must be subsequently happening once there is a full comprehensive agreements regarding the sticking points, a pull when government does that, the next day, and how, because of strep, would be reconstructed. and the shape of the what the drug was that will take place based on the time, so that green that needs all the time. it can many thanks them to a recording. now the european hospital in gaza, it is a site where many palestinians who detains guys,

this is the stop of the war being would tend to target losing that with the right picture of what.
