9:00 am
the nose understand can have the same as like devices presented. do you have any news on instagram and follow up with the the other news life from berlin. donald trump makes a dramatic declaration about goes up to us. we'll take over the gaza strip and we will do a job with it to will own it. the us president made the claim during a visit to washington by his very prime minister benjamin netanyahu, over the future of the war, ravaged out of trade pulse on the sho drums move to freeze us overseas. a raises questions about the future of further assistance programs around the world. and the democratic republic of the con, those government dismissal statements of
9:01 am
a ceasefire by rebels fighting day. the violence has already came hundreds of lives, [000:00:00;00] the manager, welcome. donald trump has said that the us trip tickle of other guys our strip and the palestinians moving there should be re settled elsewhere. he made the comments of the press conference with these rarely 5 minutes to have been the yahoo at the white house more than nothing. yeah. who caused some sort of pause. i was pursuing, saying that could, could coat, change history line about how much the visuals of objective problem statement does senior need are in the minutes in group for that a coach recipe for creating chaos and tension over in the range of what trump said that the us would take care of the,
9:02 am
the construction of the rollout on $10.00 to $3.00 and didn't too loud sending troops to do so in the us will take over the guys a script and we will do a job with the 2 without it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the side, the level of the side and get rid of the destroyed buildings level it add, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. correspondents in washington dc. benjamin alvarez, group a was absent from nathan, yahoo press conference earlier and described the move there after trump announced his plans for goes out. so this statement from us president trump definitely caught all of his journalists covering this press conference at the white house's east room off guard. because his planned to turn gaza into what she
9:03 am
called the riviera off of the middle east. really send, you can say shop the way through the press corps at the white house. all of us will have forensic lee checking the transcripts, searching for other sources to see if we understood them correctly. also talking to colleagues and president trump's plan to take over that is a direct quote. the gaza strip isn't only a legal under international law. we're talking about force displacement of hundreds of thousands of people that are now they are at the gaza strip and this is not b. location is some i try to put tre or down, play this business exposure and from the round. then something that, according to the geneva convention, is force displacement that constitutes a will crime in international law and conflicts. do we know any, anything more about this plan? have any more details be made public? so this press conference between president trump and prime minister netanyahu left, i'd say more questions than nonsense because president trump did not answer. how
9:04 am
this would look like in detail did not answer the shouted questions over the needed approval or from congress. or if this would mean a sending troops to the gaza strip to the left that open. but apart from that, that has been of cause many reactions and concerns. what this new idea might mean and might, would the effect that this might have on the already fragile ceasefire agreement between israel and come off the athens reactions here from democrats. calling this idea of reckless, unreasonable, others, like the democratic senator to chris murphy set, the trump and i quote, totally lost it. and from the reactions we also heard from before, and ministry of saudi arabia, this send out a statement rejecting any infringement of what they call is legitimate right of the policy pinion a people. and we will probably have more reactions from the region in the next couple of hours. you talked about the ceasefire dealing with guys are the 2nd phase of that is up for discussion. was this even a talking point between this and,
9:05 am
you know, and the president from and, and do donors from comments essentially detail. this is by a. so that's a big question. the many are asking themselves because the important thing is 1st, what the are up nations would say when a couple of days ago he said that egypt and jordan should take and pull this thing is from the gaza strip. they rejected this idea, each of jordan, saudi arabia, the united arab emirates, cut off, published in, you know, 40 and also the arab league rejecting and saying that this threatens the regional stability and risk even expending the conflict undermining prospect of peace because they worry that israel would never allow them to return to gaza once they are forced out of the territory. so we're waiting for more reactions on what they could actually look like. but we've heard already from a senior and from us. leo criticize it. and so in said that they would never allowed
9:06 am
a plan like this to go forward. and what does this tell us about the trump administration's policy in the middle east? benjamin? so uh, president trump got a lot of praise from the israeli prime minister. was the 1st for in need or if it is invited to the why it was, it was a state visit the so there was a lot of of course lot of press the, a lot of interest also to the red carpet for this leader with that's important also to, to highlight that and remember that the is one to 5 international criminal court for crimes and crimes against humanity is having a very busy week here in the united states. he is extending his visits to meet with lawmakers from the democrats and from the republicans on capitol hill meeting president trump's middle east envoy, steve would cook, and it shows how trump puts a lot of effort into this allegiance into his friendship. as he said with israel and was it lead up any reading it then? yeah, we knew, but there for the moment,
9:07 am
benjamin out about his group in washington dc. thanks so much i let's get another perspective now from shot on lip. now. he spent 26 years working on the 7 consecutive is rarely prime ministers and is not a senior fellow at the atlantic council. think dec. i asked them if drums controversial planned for guys a waiting line with international law. but how does the demo a certainly going to be in the details. i mean, last night, the president trump gave us the real a as a real performance, very ambitious. it's clear that it's a uh, this plan gallery only one particular issue here is uh, you know, as you implied as a huge amount of resistance. shelby sick of this in the world, in the region closer at hand. the logistics of very complicated and the president has been very clear up until this point, at least, that he's looking to sort of invest less in, you know, boats and treasure and in the middle east and maybe focus on issues at home. so whether or not he actually is going to go through it,
9:08 am
that's what it actually looks like. i think there are a whole series of questions that still remain at this point. but new on the basis of what he has said, talking about recycling people out of guys as something of the jordanians and the parents have said they would not accept. for example, this is what does not fall under them. definition of forced displacement, something that is considered illegal. i'm the international law. oh, i'm not a lawyer ultimately present like everything else that would depend on what that look like. i mean he, he, he and the other people who have talked about plans like this, talk about, you know, offering people the ability to, you know, to relocate. i don't know if that's what it would like or wouldn't look like clearly there are other cus which guidelines don't want to relocate. dozens don't want to have it. like i have form that i'm not suggesting that they do or don't. i'm just saying in terms of the actual specifics, whether or not it will actually, it will not be legal to be and will probably depend on what the specifics of what we're looking at. or if it even comes to that, to that point. whatever we are seeing at the moment,
9:09 am
how much support do you think there will be in each room for a plan such as this? i mean, it's really public. it's been interesting. certainly. i've told absolutely yes. last night's meeting. and even further, i mean there's been this sort of pendulum between you for your and being panic stricken about what could actually come down the pike. so, you know, clearly there are, there are elements, especially within the private, just as government, which will be excited about some of what they've heard. not about everything that we know. it will be equivocal. again, you know that from their perspective, right, there are issues with how the hostage deal does. it does not progress to future phase is what that would imply for the other goals that the prime minister elucidated in terms of the war in terms of you know, the future from us whether we would actually remain in gaza, what that would look like. so i mean by and large, i think they're excited about the prospect of what trump is talking about. whether or not that happens as a separate question. but like everything else there, you know, they, i think people, people just to go back historically quickly. i think that there was, you know, at the time,
9:10 am
great excitement and by some quarters and as well initially by his deal of the century during his last tenure. and then many were surprised to discover the when he actually table that there was pushed back from some of those importers. it didn't like all the details. so everything will depend on the specifics when we get that far. but this idea of moving palestinians out of gaza, isn't this a plan that is traditionally been supported by the altima master list in israel? i was just very much. that's why i'm saying i'm those are, those are precisely the elements i talked about with his government. i think that you know, it, it does. it certainly does speak to a broader swats, depending on what it would look like. and when people are thinking about what would happen, what could be a solution for guys? i think the president did tap into a degree of public sentiment when he talked about the fact that everything has been tried historically. and then over and over again. we're back in the same more as shall we say and gaza. so whether or not this is the solution or another solution, i think that there are, there are plenty of people even maybe even beyond that particular swath of the public that are interested in, you know, talking about what could out what else could happen,
9:11 am
whether it would be this is something else is, you know, is a separate issue. the, the, the, out of all the in general, it appears to be against the plan. you were talking about the georgia and, and the egyptians are in the south here. every i said that there is no possibility of any normalization devised with israel at the cost of a future palestinian state. why suggest a plan like these have countries in the region on the on board as well. i mean, at the end of the day, it's not, it's not surprising in the context of which the president from that other people presumably will put thing up, put things on the table with it, which advance their interest as they see them. again, this is just, you know, me eat, he may put this out there and say this, he has that business. what's going to happen? but certainly, if we look at other things that are playing out and in canada and mexico and south america, we've seen a put a lot of things out there a way to go back and say, well wait, it might as well negotiate. i mean, from his perspective as a, as a, as a businessman, as he reminds us all the time, you know, it's hard, it's hard necessarily to say will look like this. it won't look like this. i mean, i was calling this morning that, that in his last 10 year,
9:12 am
when the abraham courts came to pass, you know, part of the backdrop to that was that it actually been busy. and moratti's, i believe, and getting notes have probably been in their mind, the courts came to swap out plans for annexation. so i mean, we don't, you have no, actually there may be even in trump's thinking he's putting this out. there was an idea and hoping to move other labors in response, not necessarily this one, but it's a little bit early to to know exactly what's going to happen. where does that leave negotiations on the 2nd phase of the guys us east fire? it's an excellent question from it. i'm sort of the president who said he's still committed to as a prime minister, reinforced what he said about getting all the hostages out. um the implication of their question being that when ostensibly conflict with some of the other objectives they put out there, that may be true. the prime minister said after his meeting with the president. so i'm boy this week that he was dispatching a team to to don't, we don't necessarily know what their mandate will be, whether it's in. busy being the implementation of the currency is whether it's the next phase. i think a lot of these things,
9:13 am
but ultimately we determine meet the issue of, of, of the 2nd phase of the deal as all these other issues. wible depends on whether, you know, to what extent the president wants to employ carrots and sticks such as the opposed disposal. i mean, before he was elected, you can get away with rhetoric, but now people will be watching to be about the see for the seriousness of his intentions. show on lip from the lab to console. think thing, thanks very much for joining us today. a pleasure to be here. a question about some other started making headlines around about 11 people have been killed in a shooting at an adult integration center in central speed in the countries department is the old crystal phone said it was the rust mouse routing and speed. the history of thought of these have confirmed the government, who they believe acted the noun is among the dead. police said the motor for the attack was on. the 1st mexican soldiers have arrived at the countries northern border in response to demands from us president donald trump. he agreed to delay
9:14 am
a 25 percent off on mexican impulse in exchange for distributing migration into the us. eventual deployment of 10000 troops also able to track down the smuggling of fentanyl and the drugs in washington, the senate finance committee has voted along the party line. sure to advance the nomination of robert f. kennedy junior is for hands. the secretary kennedy will not face a vote in the full incentive so that he is expected to meet considerable opposition there. when you would have control procedures ranging from vaccines skepticism, doing his well documented for my drug use shared give his financial interest to his present. donald trump is also freezing us overseas a, to raising questions about the future, various programs around the world. america has on to now being the biggest single international donor. but the change in the white house and the probably growing influence of even on must, on spending decisions,
9:15 am
restaurants form the big job in the us government agency for international development or us a i. d helps millions across the world from vice will food supplies in some bob way and shed to emergency disaster responses and hate see what life saving medical equipment in ukraine you is a id is the world's largest humanitarian, the average provider. now it's future hangs in the balance with donald trump's proclaimed america, fixed policy run by a bunch of radical we're getting them out and we're getting them out at the top. in 1961 us a id is funded by the us government and had
9:16 am
a budget with around $40000000000.00 in 2023. less than one percent of the total state are a bunch of it's responsible for aiden development in strategically important countries. all those and conflicts and works in around $120.00 nation funding a range of initiatives from field hospitals to contraceptives. h i v aids treatment, clearing land, mines, energy security, fighting mountain nutrition. and giving people access to clean water in 2023, most of its funding went to ukraine, the ethiopia jordan, the democratic republic of congo and somalia. a trump pause, a foreign aid for 90 days when he took off us. and some of us,
9:17 am
a id programs have already been forced to close the doors, like this healthcare seemed to supporting transgender people in south africa. i've been coming to this clinic for years now. i think it's been ideas or something that i've been under the key and now with switch cramps, the coolest policies. that is all going to change. that is why i came yesterday because they closing for the next 90 days. the funding for ease has seen shock waves through some of the most vulnerable populations, leaving the future of millions of people in del joining us, some of them this is tyson baka, is a former state department official in the biden and or by my administrations welcome tyson y is u. s. a i d among the fastest targets for cost cutting by the trump administration. as well. international development in the united states has always been a is something that has,
9:18 am
although mass of return on investment has not been an area that the american people necessarily see as, as urgent as other forms of government support. so if you look at the polling over the years, a international development assistance has always been something that americans are willing to trade the budget on that. so that there are a lot of misperceptions on what you're saying to you and international development does. it is the greatest return on investment in america's arsenal, to support us national interest as, as your program mentioned, is less than one percent of the budget. 40000000000 as composed as opposed to around, upwards of 800000000 for the pentagon. and for that, you know, the us is able to sustain, not only millions of lives, but advance american national interest in countries around the world. i know this personally from my experience in ukraine over the past 2 years. so what does the
9:19 am
suspension of us are? these services mean for medicare, those emails are around the world as well. if he breaks the seal on, on the trustworthiness and credibility of the united states and us support in international development going forward. obviously, a lot of contractors working in the health care sector in child care in nutrition in the mining as was mentioned, i will always have the question of whether or not the assistance will remain in place of the united states provides the 90 day more tory and there are 2 questions here. one is about funding access and the other is about usa ideas and institution moves. how deep statutory mandates in congress. the funding that has been allocated has been exhaustively negotiated with the appropriate hers in congress and approved by both parties. i know this from my experience on ukraine,
9:20 am
not only the top line i'm the most for something like the mining can you brain, which, you know, has helps the mind an area the size of belgium, but also be the more specific find the items have been negotiated with both parties and approved by both parties and covers the question that funders are going to have in the future and, and partners is okay. you have a process in place, but can we best necessarily trust this, or do we need to get a 2nd partner to, to verify, or to make sure that our funding doesn't come, doesn't get caught capriciously. and donald trump, meanwhile, is saying that e long mazda has the apology to direct these kind of cost cutting, they've been looking at the democratic opposition, says, must, doesn't have that apology, who is right, as well. and they're both going to have arguments that they're going to bring to bear works. they're going to be an avalanche for cases both in terms of
9:21 am
programmatic funding and, and a jobs contracts. the, the existence of usa ideas and institution. these are all independently created and verified by congress and those we find out in the courts that set a supreme court decision last year gave the president's, brought in unity and authority to act under what fee. and it's always been he up to this point, considers consistent with his presidential mandate and has a lot of community to do what he feels as necessary. so even if this is an expedition, extra legal house, the mosque and his deputies are doing this could it's going to take a while to educate in courts. and then it could be provided that, you know, say the cover of the presidential communities and also with a partner colored, speaking of court cases, federal workers have no already fires, lawsuits to stop mosque. and from what legal arguments do they have a well, a lot of a, again,
9:22 am
a lot of this is based on contract law. so both in terms of the programs and, and partners and vendors, they have contracts with us government that, you know, do have a potential of possibilities for, for opt out or for suspension. but those have not been necessarily activated in these cases. they've been done in the very have has that way and when it comes to staffing and personnel, one of the reasons that a good, a very, very qualified americans look to join the united states government is because of the certainty and legal protections of that employment with the us government provides and so as a very, very strong civil service and especially for and service unions. so those will be uh, you know, to can, to make the, basically bringing these cases to court. and it's not necessarily true that this is going to end in the same for the administration. we leave it there for the moment
9:23 am
to tie some back up. thanks for joining us today. thank you to the democratic republic of congo next. but the government says that you left lucy's 5 declared by rwanda backed rebels. fighting in the east of the country is gold. false communication. the rebels took the city of go my last week. the united nation says at least $900.00 people were killed in the fighting as a mass burial and go mind as marks overflow with the bodies of those killed and the fighting power cuts from the conflict and kept more from being able to refrigerate the dead. the need to bury the dead quickly as urgent as most mortuaries are located in hospitals. for the risk of spreading disease to patients and health care staff, the serious patients wounded by the fighting overwhelmed hospitals. ashima just 10 was wounded by a bomb and
9:24 am
a camp for internally displaced people we will putting out to leave the camp. then suddenly, we heard the bomb explode. message it hit me? yes, i don't feel well. but what i really want is to get this bandage off of my leg. his sister tom team found him in the hospital. joe, off to the bombings, i heard the news. my mother an older brother had died. my father had also died last month. jimmy can escape, i found out that my little brother was alive. so i came here to look off to him. but one of my own 2 children is nowhere to be found on the to cause this hospital run by the red cross is admitted twice as many patients as the beds
9:25 am
as available. now they've run out of supplies to care for the sick and injured at the moment we need supplies and medicines. in other words, everything we need to attend to patient warehouse is being looted. that makes it difficult to provide care. we've asked our partners for medicines, but they've been slow to come. it's already been 10 days. this is making it difficult to administer treatment. despite reports of sporadic shooting and looting civilians are making their way back to goma. with more than half a 1000000 people displaced by the fighting, the scale of the humanitarian emergency is still emerging through ukraine next and concave. the 2nd largest city in the country located just 30 kilometers and the russian border. and which is a prime target for mosque was me size, air raid side and sound that every few hours with residents. i'm sorry,
9:26 am
no custom to a new reality correspondent. i'm sorry, scales and bought some correspondence telling us more. russian rockets, drones and palms are constantly sighing over the city sometimes so they are heading further inland. but often har keeps itself is the target. even children are used to living in a war zone, like 11 year old, weird stuff. and i'm not afraid of dying. i've been fine so time. if it happens, it happens. but here in this underground school, they feel safe. in case of a bump attack, the children are brought to this special protected room. the music is loud enough to drown out outside sounds. they can just have some important builders off when can be done for going around 1000 children, attend one of the 6 underground schools in higher case every day. the city council
9:27 am
is currently also working on building an underground hospital and even an underground amusement park. does this mean how give is becoming an underground city? we need a hard tedae of the mayor of had given his bunker and he's not fond of this idea. unable to know, i'll keep will not to the ground floor we show. yes, you're right. rush, you will always be at the border of hockey region. quite a good school was moving on. we would always have some level of threats with that's why efforts are being made world wide to finally achieve staple piece of this, this pro lily. so when we need clear it guarantees that something like this will never happen again. why would that that will never be will be in ukraine. again, it was great. that's a 3 many people in ukraine has had for a long time. the longest alarm and harkey laughed at 36 hours. that's almost
9:28 am
unbearable unless you connected with something beautiful like culture. you just love us mother and tony negative. yes. yeah. it's the prima ballerina kind of gives oldest theater despite daily attacks on the city. she hasn't stopped dancing since the war because you have way, it will seem like it fully opposite to at least the country. and that was certainly possible because we couldn't find where can europe but, but if everyone had placed a lot, who would boost the morale of the people? we still who would bring on some joy a couple couple in colorado city i was, i believe it's my 2 sites and angel to the performances now take place exclusively under ground. an old warehouse has been converted all the shows are fully booked today until nina is performing snow light, the face of the
9:29 am
lakes option. now like because it's very important. shopping malls have also often in the target. that's why this one is slowly moving underground, where they were once parking lots. there are no mannequins or fitting rooms. it's become a meeting, pined for many teenagers, boy in the gym before the war. we hung up on the park and of course the part of the pink upon leaving under ground is becoming our reality, and har keeps that people must endure for now. and that quick reminder of our top story of this donald trump has said that the us will take all the cars that script after financing is living there are receptive elsewhere. the us president made the comments at the white house press conference with you spending 5 minutes to bring them in to get in. yeah. who, who said the idea with gains history? that's it for the moment. coming up next. eco, india, i consider the promises and pitfalls of told green ideas. i'm british trying to do
