the, the so america is back addressing congress us president donald trump says ukraine is ready to sign a minerals deal. the primaries of hoping this is, i'll just say a real life from terry hall say coming up. our bleed is back in the junction proposal for causes reconstruction and governance without displace things have a city and inside calls of how the simians price for the was justin. it's ray,

the age console, and his expose de join that has session annual growth talk is a 5 percent dysfunction escalating trade for with the united states. the and the speech to the us congress president donald trump, has posted about his a chief fence, criticized visit to the series and declared that this america will be work no longer. it was the longest presidential address to congress and more than history. and trump used it to advertise, clark sounds on immigration and drug cartels. he told us about taking back the panama canal, uninviting, to freelance to join the us. the president also revealed he has received a letter from ukraine's president for the ultimate event, steve offering to negotiate peace with russia and sign the minerals deal with the united states. his a snapshot of what he said. 6 weeks ago,

i stood beneath the dome of this capital and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of america. from that moment, dawn, as has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. as we have accomplished bar and 43 days and most administrations accomplished in 4 years or 8 years. and we are just getting started. i received an important letter from president zalinski of ukraine. the letter age ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. nobody wants peace more than the ukrainians. you said my team and i stand ready to work under president trump's strong leadership to get

a piece that last we do really value how much america is done to help ukraine maintain the sovereignty and independence. regarding the agreement on minerals and security, ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you. i appreciate that he shipped this letter just got it a little while ago. simultaneously. we've had serious discussions with russia, and i received strong signal is that they are ready for peace. wouldn't that be beautiful, with nothing to further enhance our national security. my administration will be reclaiming the panama canal, and we've already started doing the company announced they are buying both boards around the panama canal and lots of other things having to do with the panama canal and

a couple of other canals. the panama canal is built by americans for americans, not for others. and i also have a message tonight for the incredible people of greenland. we strongly support your right to determine your own future. and if you choose, we welcome you into the united states of america. we need greenland for national security and even international security, and we're working with everybody involved to try and get it. but we need it really for international world security. and i think we're gonna get it one way or the other way. going to get it. you don't make your product in america. however, under the trump administration, you will pay a tower. and in some cases, a rather large one. other countries have used tariffs against us for decades, and now it's our turn to start using them against those other countries. on average, the european union, china, brazil, india,

mexico and canada. have you heard of them? and countless other nations georgia's tremendously higher terrace than we charge them. it's very unfair. india charges us auto tariffs higher than 100 percent. china is average tariff on our products is twice what we charge them. and south korea's average tariff is 4 times higher. think of that 4 times higher. and we give so much help militarily and in so many other ways to south korea. but that's what happens. this is happening by friend info. the system is not fair to the united states and never was. and so in april 2nd, i wanted to make it april 1st. but i didn't want to be accused of april fools day. that's what as that it just one day was cost us a lot of money, but we're going to do it in april. i'm a very superstitious person. april 2nd,

reciprocal tariffs kick in and whatever they tariff us, other countries, we will tear of them. well, in the fish, how small from capitol hill a about an hour into the speech. when donald trump reveals, he'd received a letter from the cleaning and president, you go back to just friday and you remember the blue off in the white house that happened. then the photo trump shouting and pointing fingers to load them, yours the landscape, and effectively kicking him out of the white house saying that he wasn't prepared to talk. peace modem is the landscape, has note sent a letter saying that he's ready to 12 piece and ready to sign the minerals deal that could lead in a phone relations between keys and the white house. and in particular with donald trump. he said he was grateful to receive this, and certainly he was hopeful that that could lead to peace talks with the russians . it's all about no getting the deal signed. i'm seeing how quickly it can get both

sides to talk about at least the c slot. if not a longer peace deal, he also talks about taking back control of the panama canal and doing that through american companies by force at either side. and of course he's talked about taking over to greenland. you remember that? he said that it was really up for the people have been to decide the future. but he thought that america needed 3 months for his national security and they would get it one way or the other. he also took a chance and the speech to reveal the past, and he believes is the mastermind behind. i'd be keep forming. remember, with 15 american servicemen were killed during the evacuation of afghanistan while he has been apprehended by the authorities in pakistan. and this note on his way back to face justice in the united states that this was a very typical donald trump speech, more like a campaign raleigh of points, certainly punctuated by protests from democrats. but what is clear is donald trump has dr. the 2nd presidency, a break neck speed,

and continues to push ahead at that sort of level. even with all the criticism, i'm dupree's that it brings all in for sure. i'll just see it up on capitol hill. the of our latest have endorsed and egyptian plans for the reconstruction of gauze a countering and this re re bunk proposal by the us. the announcements came as an emergency michigan, colorado. the 5 year plan will cost around $53000000000.00. and then like trumps proposal, it enables palestinians to remain in the strip egypt full of muslim nations for the support of the amazing and soldier ravia. on friday, mohammed judging reports at the opening of the emergency air, a bleak summit in cairo, it was made clear,

the stakes couldn't be any higher addressing fellow leaders and diplomats egyptian president. i've just been cc urgent care of states to adopt his nations plans to look for rebuilding garza, the. i'm a let the missile advocate. egypt has always worked in cooperation with our brothers and palestine at this towards forming an administrative commission from professional independent palestinian technocrats because take the reins of affairs of highway. and because of this commission will be responsible for overseeing the relief a whole. so for a permanent and in 3rd period of time to pay for the wait for the return of the promise to me and move forward to administer goals that well cut the with the palestinian president with our bus was quick to voice his support and came out of the hotel, most of the data promised to be able to give some plan for the construction of casa in presence of our people on our home that should be endorsed by the summit and total support by the international community and doing all that's needed in the

international conference my that one reconstruction of causes which will be hosted by egypt last month. so the, the 5 year plan will cost around $53000000000.00 without displacing the palestinian population from the gaza strip, which the little ones the proposal had been officially endorsed by all the attendees. how must issued a statement, welcoming the outcome of the meeting? but the is really foreign ministry, said the error of summit failed to address the realities of the situation. following october 7th, 2023 and accused it of remaining routed and outdated, prospectuses. one of the main reasons for convening the summit was to counter us president donald trump's proposal to take over gaza and forcibly displace palestinian eyes and get rid of the that is conclusion. era bleeders expressed readiness for immediate engagement with the us administration and all international partners to resume peace negotiations aimed at ending the is really occupation and

establishing a sovereign palestinian state. egypt foreign minister offered even more details of it as a solo champion. they approve plan has a comprehensive understanding for cd. the company programs that would be implemented during a pdf funding from 6 months to one year. and that includes providing in term housing and shelter for the palestinians. parking lot specifics of the proposal have now been outlined and adopted. questions turn next to who will fund the various phases of planned rebuilding in gaza, hopefully answers that may not come until a reconstruction conference set to be held in egypt next month. how much i'm just here and a st. when's the white house disagreed with the proposal? from the adverb summit. it's heidi jared castro. your how's? the day's house. as we've got a statement from the national security council spokesman brian hughes, and i'll just read it to you. he says the current proposal does not address the

reality that gaza is currently uninhabitable. and residents cannot to main. we live in a territory covered in debris, an unexploded ordnance, and he goes on to say, president trump stands by his vision to rebuild gauze a free from him us. we look forward to further talks to bring peace and prosperity to the region. so certainly this reaction to the air of weeks proposal does not come as a surprise given that it was so contrary to what trump had proposed in relocating the 2000000 plus palestinians away from gaza. he's made very starkly, clear his vision for that strip of land saying that he wants to develop it as a beach front property of 3 of palestinians who he has said can go to neighboring error countries to be resettled. wednesday monks, the full stay as well, has blocked all goods. and you've done this harry and age from entering garza, all the sci fi deal is and then by the you end, the says food prices have more than doubled rights groups have condemned to the

decision to balk desperately needed food, fuel and medicine accusing as well of using salvation as a weapon, a full. how this to me and say they fit common over time to goals if the will restart. well, honey must made, joins us live now from dogs to fish. a honey. what speed the reaction to this our summit? then inside garza, the will so far, palestinians have responded this causes optimism to the outcome of the error, but did summit of the error bleak where leaders endorsed egypt 50 $3000000000.00 the plan to reconstruct gaza by 2030 among the general populace as the day progresses, we hear people talking about this, but there is a, a reaction that is made of a blend of hope and is skepticism why there are, there are full then there are

a track for the prospects of the reconstruction and plan and, and the welcome to it for the improve living condition, there are concerns over the feasibility of such and i'm visual supply and given it previous unfulfilled. the pharmacy is an ongoing blockade that is making it very difficult for the plan to start moving forward. that any tangible there's any desire for tangible improvements among palestinians here is always tempered by the, the ongoing, the blockade as well as the fact that the previous efforts to reconstructs and improve living conditions among the palestinians always face significant delays or opposite goes by. these rarely sides of the past $42.00 days of the phase one of the ceasefire, where it was supposed to be the beginning of a much better prospect for what's going to happen next. but unfortunately, as soon as it's it's, it's finished or it ended, it did not give much show. but that's one of the, the reason what people give expressing their cautious optimism about any of the

plans it presented to improve living conditions for palestinians. a heavy have you seen any age get through? we've heard that there's been this full day blockades buses. anything a tool guessing through well, absolutely not. then we happen to be here in an area where this road this for presented as a major road for trucks coming in from the crossings into this area of the guys and steve were talking about us hundreds of trucks on the other side of the board as the crossing of the other side of the gods have nearly to the eastern parts filled with many of the basic supplies and the essential survival items are not coming in . and people go hungry miles away from the crossings in gauze and city in the, in the northern part, then the central area of the, of this trip. and what we're seeing here more of these really restrictions on the

board as that came to a full or a complete hold. the entry of any of the tracks are much needed right now for people on the grounding gods. are they impact is everywhere, markets are depleting right now the are, are, they're running out of basic essentials and running out of many of the need a products and whatever available is too expensive for people to afford. so the question of availability as well as affordability, and for now it's not just about the food, the hospitals and the medical sectors. try those stuff to operate with little or no medical supplies. that all the doctors approach us and keep the last about how much they're running out of basic supplies and surgical equipments and, and pain killers, an anti biotic, just make their intervention to provide medical care proper one, the quite difficult these days. okay. all correspond to the honey mux moved in. goals assist you. thank you very much. i still ahead on al jazeera today,

the united states wants to trade war against canada, canada and china hitch back. it has the terrorists imposed by us president from the connecting community. what would you like to see it happen for a new syria to emerge? there's no way we could live in the country again where i see it is for displacement is part of our presence. opening up the conversation representation methods. we haven't had the best representation of african so for us it's about solving that putting to representation pockets with fresh perspectives from lesser heard voices. the stream explores the key issues of our time on algebra. not on al jazeera from trade was to seismic shift to us policy on garza and ukraine. president donald trump is shaking up global politics. rigorous debates,

unflinching questions upfront cuts through the headlines to challenge conventional wisdom on the 14th anniversary of the city and revolution. the phone of the outside regime associated in a new era as syrians rebuild their nation in a wheel and is ready to make it discovers of palestinian film archive fees from the piano in 1982. that raises important questions about palestinian identity. while the buffalo ranges on the front line, the diplomatic pursuit for peace is in crisis. however, critical moments ahead in fact, the ukraine war and the world order much on outages era the the

a still watching. i'll just say ra, remind your thoughts up stories this hour. us president donald trump, himself home breast. he has received a letter from the ukraine. liza saying he's ready to sign a much how to read minerals deal with washington. our leaders meeting in cairo have adopted a reconstruction plan for golf. unlike the proposal put forward by the us. this one calls for rebuilding the strip without exclusively just facing palestinian china has. it says an annual grace talk is of 5 percent. despite an escalation trade will with the us, premier lee chang says beijing will push full domestic to moans to fuel economic growth. beijing is also increasing its defense budgets by 7.2 percent. that's more than $245000000000.00. this is showing this military spending remains the 2nd law just behind the us and it has the world's largest navy. well, katrina,

you joins us now from beijing. hello to you, katrina. the congress opened then with a big focus on strengthening economic growth. what was said. and that's why it's a premier lea chung open to the national people's congress, but giving a one hour speech to one our work report status report on china. and really he spoke about the unprecedented headwinds china it's facing. he said that there are changes, i'm seeing in a century unfolding across the world at a foster pace. so kind of response to this is to make its economy more resilience in the face of rising global trade war, for example, in other jo political tension. so we had some targets economic targets named today . they include a g, d, p, talk up to 2025, around 5 percent. not unexpected, same as last year. but i will say this will be hard to, to the, to meet considering the rising tensions with united states, another target 12000000 new oven jobs. and another big target we mentioned that was

mentioned was an increase in the general budget deficit from 3 to 4 percent. now that is the highest increase since 3 decades. not really is the government saying it's going to spend more, it's going to increase and government debt in order to support local governments to support banks, get more money into the capital markets and also intern support the private sector and businesses which have struggled in the past. to get funding, so that's about strengthening the economy. and it's also going to look at supporting the stock market and the real estate market. and all of these initiatives are really about boosting confidence. and that's another key target mentioned today. that was boosting domestic consumption, that lead time described himself as being sluggish. and so that people don't have money, it says that they have money, but they're not spending it. they're putting it in the back for a rainy day. so uh, what the government is going to do is increase consumers subsidies, as well as put $14000000.00 towards a consumer appliance trade in program. now that's the economy piece as in addition

to that, obviously another priority is strengthening the military increase of the military spending budget 7.2 percent, 245000000000 dollars. and that's because she didn't bring has committed to modernizing china's new latrice you once by 2035 to have another treatment state of the art missile submarines and surveillance technology. some money will no doubt also go towards that. i can katrina just briefly before i let you go. i'm also a recognition on the added pressure spacing, families the notice that it will actively respond to its rising number of elderly, but in near 204030 percent of times population would be over the age of 60. so we're going to get more money going towards the elderly intensive pension subsidies, most services in rural areas. and also china wants to address as promising both right. despite the facts, since 2021, people have been allowed to have 3 children. the simply not doing so because of the costs associated with that. so china also said it's going to work towards providing

free preschool education in the future. and so now work on increasing child care subsidies are k, katrina, you in beijing. thank you very much. more than $2000000000.00 worth of trade, it goes close to canada, us folder a free day. so off the heating back with 25 percent tarus of his own kind of canadian part of this stuff justin period. i chose not to just address the canadian people, but also american citizens. i'm the president himself. she have or tom z reports for multiple parameters. so just intruders make out is off to us president donald trump's power of the games. canada and mexico came into effect 2 days at canada is retaliating and immediately imposing 25 percent power of on $20000000000.00 worth of us and boards, and the urge canadians to be unified in the face of the intense economic pressure i had. you also urged americans to understand that and the economic impacts of bass

sofa will be the result of their president's actions. and then to, to address donald trump himself. now, it's not in my habit to agree with the wall street journal. but donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. should i also suggest that there was no point in further negotiations with the us, given what he thinks of donald trump's motivations for the trade winds just to see a total collapse of the canadian economy. because that will make it easier to and excess. shortly after today's spoke, donald trump responded to the canadian prime minister by suggesting that canada was already the 51st stage of the us. please explain to governor tudor of canada tunbridge, but when he puts on the retired retire from the us, all reciprocal tire will immediately increase by like amount. there is a sense of disbelief. so this is all actually happening, but trump wasn't using the threat of sweeping power of as

a negotiating position is heartbreaking. that the government is causing a risk between people who just want to do business. just want to have a livelihood. kind of those retaliated free tire of so living increase prices here in canada, intensifying the economic prices, but very beneficial say they have to do something to show that they can't be bullied by the us. however, it does seem that i may know who is the spiking inflation and financial market total in the us will eventually force donald trump to back down. she ever time. see out is here also peruse form a precedent. padre of castillo is on trial for rebellion and corruption charges. moving 2 years after he was arrested castillo and says he's being legitimate visa money on this. on chest reports from lima of the former president is what castillo appeared before court. without a lawyer,

he told the judge as he fired them because he says the trial is a farce. normally, it makes no sense to come here for a hearing under my condition as president of the republic. but if this trial is a show trial, and then i can see your face is 34 years in prison for rebellion and abuse of authority. of 3 former ministers and police escorts are also tried for complicity. be sort of at the end of december 2022. the televised message gets to use if she will disclose. calling with the judiciary and rule by decree and unconstitutional loot considered occluded. she was then captured. she was trying to slip to the mexican embassy to seek political asylum. 3 months of defeat, demonstrations ensued with your supporters and other protesters, demanding the rustic nation of newly appointed. proceed indeed, now a lot of the 50 people were killed. those confrontations castillo says he's

innocent. how must equal may do with the lead. i have never committed the crime of rebellion. i only expressed the will of the people in a political message. garcia took the social media to make his case, saying his call to this band. congress and the judiciary didn't have legal implications and claiming she was a victim of a political witch hunt. some supporters clashed with police, demanding his freedom. we elected him as president, and now he's captive. here we've waited more than 2 years. can we want him? free castillo is the 3rd peruvian precedent to stand trial at this police facility, which has seen the likes of former presidents. i left a few muddy and alejandro to you. for now, the court has appointed a lawyer castillo has requested to face trial from home, electronic surveillance, promising he won't escape by the end of francis, i just see that lima. and when these 3 m. p 's were injured and savvy is call them

and talk to a physician policy. politicians through smoke grenades and the chain. bob has been, i guess, since the collapse of a roof of a train station last year, which led to the test of 15 people. will that is it from may come from the cost of the, the, the had a lot of that is more unsettled, where the expected across the middle east and live. and we'll head that in a moment. the fuss to southern africa. and there's some improvement to come from madagascar as a tropical psycho pushes its way for the south leaving some big bus of rain across most central areas. but it is an improving picture. as we had towards the end of the week, the thunderstorms, it continued to affect eastern parts of south africa. it's a little bit dry out west that changes on thursday. so you can see an uptick in the

west, the weather here, and we're expecting some big bus rain to pull across the western pots of and gold rains expected for a new one to through to the end of the week. now, floods have hit the canary islands as a clean up on the way as a terrain shall rain, caused destruction here. the good news is there is some improvement on wednesday. instead it's going to be out jerry and to media that baffled with some pretty wild weather on thursday some whatsoever as. 8 will continue to affect the northeast with showers and pots of egypt. and this is the rain that's going to splash back into the event. we've got some wintery conditions for iran, and you can see that folder, right. putting its way across the western parts of saudi arabia, bringing some stronger wins with possible thunderstorms to the gulf. the
