a new golden each delivering the democratic response sent it to elisa, smoke and said the early days of trump 2nd presidency had been killed, would inflict damage on those who needed most help president trump is trying to deliver an unprecedented giveaway to his billionaire friends is on the hunt to find trillions of dollars to pass along to the wealthiest in america. and to do that, he is going to make you pay in every part of your life, the golden age of a man. there will be those who will dispute many of tom's claims, but no one can deny that has been a flood of action. and that seems set to continue with all the support and the position that follows island for sure. i'll just see it up on capitol hill. let's get some reaction to that speech show. yes, up of all of us down the by for us and the russian capital moscow. first, let's go to kia. that's where a charles stratford is joining us from. so jo crane featured and not speech to

congress. any official reaction on what trump have to say. just being very little reaction. so for the reaction that has happened as, as all g being from opposition. vickers interesting enough in ukraine alexi french horn ching cove who is a member of the opposition policy named pe. he said that this is very good. he said that, uh, this is piece a not capitulation by, by zalinski, referring to that statement that so trump says was from alexa from the ukranian president, the opposition in p went on to say, now we must clearly establish our red lines. that has been reaction small reaction from a government representative though, as well under a year. macros headed the presidential office has said that russia must stop each daily shilling of ukraine if it's truly once an inch to the will. the credit in military and the last off in ours released if it goes with respect to

the amount of a tax last night. they made a tree saying that they were a 181 russian drug and attacks. and st attacks involving is getting the ballistic missiles and the ministry saying that a 155 of those we shot down and 51 will last on the radar tracking. i think the contents of southern skis message last night that he put on twitter is very interesting. a lot of people here were saying that is an indication of capitulation . so lensky said that we can only regret what happened in the white house, referring to that terrific diplomatic route. ready we saw a last friday waiting, zalinski refused to sign that us. you've brain mineral dale that the us wants to some form of compensation. so the, according to trump, to pay back what he says is, tax payers, money. that us taxpayers, money that they have for that they've spent on the will so far. so let's get went on to say that maintaining

a normal partnership based on the relationship with us is essential for ending the war. and. and he said that the ukraine is ready to work on the trump's strong leadership. he also has said that he has told ukrainian officials to get in contact with the us accounts about some sort of clarity official statement on the suspension of us military. i have no news on that. so fall, but certainly the general feeling is here that despite these statements being made by zalinski and trump, there was a general feeling that zalinski has had very little option whatsoever. and it's been strolled into into sending letters. if indeed it was, i'd like to em statements like this. they say that he has very little choice now, but to bend to the trumps. sorry to been to the demands of the you as president donald trump. okay, thank you. charles. thank you for that reporting from keith you and yourself of all

about joining us from moscow. so there was a lot of talk, a few crane during that speech, any mention of rush at all a well, that's right. and let's say that russia has received many positive signals that donald trump did not say a single bad word about russia already at peace. and he just said that russia is ready for peace. and all that is seen in most as a very good sign, especially against the bug trouble. the negative red trick tools, russia a prevailing in washington, trump says he's registered, continue cooperating with legend as a landscape. and it's also important because it's impossible to the spend has tennessee's and work on peace agreements without ukraine or without legend as a landscape of participation. and on this hills that say that in the united states . and they understand that russia will inevitably, when this,

this will because it's got more people and it's got more results as a but to per looming, this conflicts means more depths and more destruction. and best understanding is leading to a change in rhetoric and the beginning of dialogue right now between the us and russian. because the last for us to stop all the bloodshed because the us is prognostic. that's how it's seen here. trump area of presented his vision of security guarantees for ukraine, which is very, very important for this country. it's the us economic presence on ukrainians. have a treat and notes a military presence, a fee, a minimal results as agreement is signed, us civilian specialists can be deployed as ukraine, and they can begin developing ukraine's natural result is. and according to trump, in that case, russia won't have top, and no foreign peacekeepers will be needed. and this proposal can be accepted by

russian because of all she's totally against any ford, any west and peacekeepers, any european in particular peacekeepers on a ukrainian soil at the same time as to what russian present to meet them instead of just road washington were a, is you on supplies to cave is the agreement on menu or was, it will says it would be crated or assigned all this indicates that there is no signal single opinion and reaction to what is happening in the us with lex new policy. okay. you know, thank you for that report and from moscow the arab leaders have endorsed an egyptian plan for the reconstruction of dogs countering it is really the back proposal by us president donald trump. the find your plan will cost around $53000000000.00. an unlike trumps proposal enables palestinians to remain in the strip how much i'm doing reports at the

opening of the emergency air, at least summit in cairo, it was made clear, the stakes couldn't be any higher to buffeting dressing, fellow leaders and diplomats egyptian president. i've just been cc or they're of states to adopt his nation's plans to look for rebuilding gaza, at least at the 100 and that missile advocate. egypt has always worked in cooperation with our brothers and palestine. it is towards forming an administrative commission from professional, independent, palestinian 2nd across 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 3rd period of time to pay for the wait for the return of the promised to me and look forward to administer gauze. well, cut the, the with the palestinian president. we got the bus was quick to voice his support and came out of the hotel. most of the piano promise to be any objection planned

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 next month. so the, the 5 year plan will cost around $53000000000.00 without displacing the palestinian population from the gaza strip. and we started once 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 rooted in outdated prospectus se, and 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. arrow bleeders expressed readiness for

immediate engagement with us administration and all international partners to resume peace negotiations aimed at ending these really occupation and establishing a sovereign palestinian state. egypt sworn minister, offered even more details of it as a solo chamber. they approved plan has a comprehensive understanding for speedy the company programs. such would be implemented during a period spending from 6 months to one year. and that includes providing in term housing and shoved for the palestinians in law. 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 enrolled and just either wednesday, march, the 4th day israel has blocked all goods and humanitarian aid from entering gauze. also all the cease fire deal is in limbo. un says food prices have more than

doubled palestinian say they fear famine will return to gauze all if the war restarts. honey, more fluid isn't garza city with more on the deteriorating fluid situation across the strip to where it is seeing the police and the markets of from basic necessities and basic supplies. if it where we go, we're seeing extreme shortage to them. people right now at this moment are facing $3.00 and $4.00 digit that would be a restrictions tightening on the crossing survival is becoming even harder, particularly in the areas that where it trucks i've been, i mean, been able to reach in the past 42 days during the humanitarian fees, given the damage infrastructure, not many of those a trucks made their way on the northern part of the state. so they're relying on a more of a chain that supply. but it was only half of the amount that reached to people they to the river the the 3 in shortage and lacking basic needs in the south and east for a lot of people returning to their homes in northern golfing jobs,

in other parts of district. but on the ground, what we're seeing with trucks spelled with survival items and, and critical needs, are stuck on the other side of the board of the simply there's really government decided not to allow the trucks or 8 into the gas for a couple with other concerning decisions including cutting electricity and water supplies into the goals district, which by the way, it's an additional concern for people because they're really 100 percent of water, whether void and was been destroyed or severely damaged trains of hot 15 months here close to a close to 80 percent of water destination across the us, they've been destroy leaving in higher areas without a proper access to water. they is really minister of defense. israel tots is holding the swearing in ceremony for the new army chief is i'm here right now will bring in new to all it is running us from my mind because the is really government and the palestinian authority of bundled 0 from

a 40 from inside israel and from the occupied westbank, what do we know about semi or on what the which direction he'll take the, the gaza warren as well that he and it's a made of the most important aspect of this. a new appointment is how close he is to the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and what many observe in his role is nothing he hours at times to replace all security cheese, including this very important role with people who 1st of all agree with him. and more importantly for nothing. you wouldn't oppose them or challenge him publicly like we've seen in the past 60 months now. does that mean was the and pine ministers, military secretary, he rose through the ranks of these rarely army. he believes that his real should be self sufficient, should produce its own weapons. and you have

a more offensive posture. he's already been quoted as saying that 2025 will be a year of come back. and as far back s t one as 2007, that in a does that mean roach, that she believes that collective punishments against what he termed as terrorist populations was completely legitimate. so the last thing i would say is that this is a man who also shares nothing. yeah. whose views about needing to confront iran militarily, if needed, and with the us support that nothing. yeah. whole now has many believe that this pastor of all funds of wanting to draw up plans to reoccupied at least part of the gaza strip that the, the as well as heading in a direction where 1st of all there would be no debates, no challenge to the prime minister, but more importantly, perhaps the israel would be on the offensive militarily, even more than it has been in the, in recent months. okay. and you would think you knew it all day reporting from i'm

not, it's still a head on alpha 0. peruse, former president federal castillo goes on trial on charges of rebellion. the . the focus of heavy seasonal rains has been recently in java, southern, see, modern born here. and there is no change. this is where the full costs for the orange top ties with in this case, that means the deepest thunderstorms are still there. western born here down to was java sumatra put in some allies you and wanted to see showing if in cambodia over yet. and i'm a little earlier, i think you might expect seasonally, it doesn't cost means not much in the north of australia. in fact, the focus here is alfred or pretty rare event, a tropical psycho heading almost directly for prison. i can't find a record of ongoing of the top of the city itself because it wouldn't be dangerously strong,

wind wise. it will produce an awful lot of rain in this over to the coast, puncturing the coast of queens and due south wales with big weight. so that'll take 2 or 3 days to make slight progress on to land produced flooding all the way from branch been dying to was sidney, which takes away the focus from anything else is happening in australia is housing in the middle. admittedly, it's cooling down in person, so to 8 down to about 30 and it will, this time the rain is pounding down through new south wales in particular is the southern side of the storm that be, i think, the worse conditions, phone use events. the story isn't stormi know words as warm as you might like. we're down to 17. the game on a product, admittedly, entrust, judge, connecting community. what would you like to see happen for a new syria to emerge? there's no way we could nip into country again where it is. i see it is for the

basement is part of our presence opening off the conversation representation methods. we haven't had the best representation of applicants though for us as a mouse. so in that put into a representation for our kids with fresh perspectives from lesser heard voices. the stream explores the key issues of our time on algebra. the, [000:00:00;00] the top stories on al jazeera, who was present in donald trump's address and joint session of congress, where he reveals who received a letter from you french president, offering to negotiate peace with freshmen and sign and minerals deal with the

united states. era leaders have endorsed and egyptian plans for the reconstruction of causal countering and is really voc proposal by us president donald trump. 5 your plan would enable palestinians to remain in district. china has set an annual growth target a 5 percent despite a slowing economy. high use unemployment on an escalating trade war with the us premier lead shang may be announcements at the national people's congress, which is underway in beijing. china is also increasing its defense budget by 7.2 percent. that's more than $245000000000.00. katrina, you has more from beijing. a lead young ton is premier, opened the national people's congress with the one out of a web report. and he was very candid about the unprecedented challenges trying his face. and he said, changes on scene in a century unfolding across the world at a foster pace. but china is response is, instead of being more protection dislikes, some countries around the world, cutting back on spending,

it's actually to spend more to boost growth and to continue to open up. so some targets was set for later this year, 5 percent growth, which is the same as last year, but considered more and vicious, giving rise and tensions with the us. and this rising trade will, we've also said seen that the government will set a higher budget deficit ratio from 3 percent. it will go to full percent, doesn't seem like much, but that's the highest it's been set to 3 decades. so the government here in china is committing to spending more, increasing its debt. it's going to fund state banks, it's going to fund getting rid and local governments trying to get capital back into the market, support local businesses and more importantly as well, boost domestic consumption. people have money here in china, they're just not spending it, they're putting it in the bank for a rainy day. the china is really trying to reverse that trend. it's going to spend $14000000000.00 on this so called cash. quick plug is trading scheme where people can trade in the roads and appliances. this is all about getting more money into

china's economy and hopefully making it more resilient. now that's one piece at the same time. china is also working on focusing on improving it's military. it's set of the increase in new entry spending to 7.2 percent in total. that amounts to $240.00 bill of $45000000000.00. okay. level allows me to hand shann lynn, who is the china director of the asian group. that's a strategic advisory firm, joining us from shanghai, thank you for your time. so this of course has a body which tacos policy reform as well as diplomacy. i mean that 5 percent growth targets that's a they've set for the year, is in line with the finger from 2024. but is it going to be more challenging this time around to achieve this? because, you know, one of the things amazing is grappling with at this moment, of course as a trade war with the united states. um, 1st of all, thank you for having me on. and when we look at the number 5 percent,

there's actually a mathematical basis behind it. one of the commitments, the president shooting made was to double china is g p at 2035 from 2020 levels. so essentially, if you're looking at a 15 year period to try to double a gdc number, that mathematically turns out to be roughly about 5 percent. so in that sense, there wasn't much of a surprise since china prides itself on fine sir, are you? are you still with us? all right, my apologies. we seem to have lost our audio connection with the, with the guest from shanghai. we move on for now and tell you about what's happening in canada because the prime minister adjustments are due, as announced, retaliatory tariffs to the us levies. goods worth more than $2000000000.00 across the us, canada border every day. she ever chancey reports from ottawa,

the prime minister just intruders. vogala 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 years in paris on $20000000000.00 worth of us impulse. any urge canadians to be unified in the face of the intense economic pressure ahead. you also urge americans to understand that and the economic impacts are based 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 was this to see a total collapse of the canadian economy. because that will make it easier to add

excess. shortly off the truit i 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 to the of canada trump road. but when he puts on the retired, retire from the us, all reciprocal tire of will immediately increased 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 as a negotiating position. it's heartbreaking that the government is causing a rift between people who just want to do business. just want to have a livelihood. kind of those retaliated free tire of so we're moving increase prices here in canada, intensifying the economic prices. but could they even official say they have to do something to show that they can't be bullied by the us. however, it does seem that that may know who is the spiking inflation and financial market

total in the us will eventually force donald trump to back down chaper time. so you're out here also just a moment ago we were talking about china setting an annual growth target a 5 percent. despite a slowing economy, we are going to speak to our guest once again hatch. and then is the china director of the asian group, a strategic advisory firm, joining us from shanghai. so you were talking about that 5 percent growth target, but tell us how china can shield it's economy from the impact of any uh, potential trade for with the united states. well 1st of all, it's good to be back on. so yes, it is important to understand that china's g d p growth last year was really benefited from a surge of china's exports. but it looks like of china can export its way to g d p growth this year. that aren't really understandably, as re focusing on other domestic drivers, particularly consumption. and it looks like certain key drivers that,

that consumption such as the property sector may have or will be heating closer to a bottom than it is at the top. so in that sense, that in other factors are suggesting this year, or at least next year, we'll start seeing a turnaround. so from what you've heard so far from the congress, is the government doing enough to, to face the to address rather the added pressures that families have been facing. so the government is trying to do more. traditionally, they've had a hesitation to use that as a economic driver because they are well aware and they paid close attention to what happened in previous financial crisis. these, such as in 2008. but this is the 1st year and it's a bit unexpected. but positive that they're willing to use a little bit more debt. now the challenge going forward is this, how long with a lot of this fiscal stimulus take to work through the system?

because you're looking at from the central government to 30 plus provinces to several 100 and major cities to tens of thousands of counties. so will take at least a certain period of time, but certainly the faster the better. okay. hi, hanson, lynn china, director of the asian group. so we can just from shanghai, thank you so much. i thank you. now peruse, farmer president petro castillo, is on trial facing charges of rebellion on corruption more than 2 years after he was arrested. arianna sanchez reports from lima, former president, the little 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 the president of the republic, but if this trial is a show trial at the linebacker, oh, i see your face is 34 years in prison for rebellion and abuse of authority. have 3

former ministers and police escorts are also tried for complicity disorder. better in the december 2022. the televised message castillo said she would dislike calling with the judiciary and rule by decree and unconstitutional mood. considered occluded. she was then captured, as she was trying to speak to the mexican embassy to seek political asylum. 3 months of deputy demonstrations ensued with the use of folders and other protesters demanding the resignation of newly appointed president dino. a lot of the 50 people were killed. those confrontations castillo says he's innocent. how must that go? maybe with the lead, i have never committed the crime of rebellion. i only expressed the will of the people in
