the, the, the seller is chooses leader, but even before any balance for cash to western media was quick to call the vote. fraudulent $10.00 in president forcefully responds, easiest to store. it is known that neither the us nor the european union, nor great britain recognize you as a legitimate president. what hopes do you have with the new us administration? tell me please steve. if i made a statement right now that i don't recognize the us selection and i don't recognize trump, would anything in america change? the main thing is that the election should be recognized by the citizens of the roof. i impose a federal hiring freeze that federal regulation, fraser foreign aid phrase. so this is donald trump and confirm

t is freezing us for in a previous report suggested the move will last for the next 3 months with 2 countries. israel and the egypt exempt from the measures israel relates to 200 prisoners following the return of 4 female idea of soldiers held by her mazda as part of the ongoing cease fire agreement. palestinian now at liberty speaks to r t about his time behind bars. i was sentenced to 25 years and served 13 god willing. i want to focus on my home, my mother and my children. i want to make up for the years. they've lost the difficult days. they lived through in the tough circumstances they endured me. god gave me the strength to make it up to them. there's nothing more to say, but thank god, who has blessed us with freedom the from our headquarters in moscow? i'm rachel ruble. this is archie international. we start with breaking news from 11 on. we're not our 2 arabic,

some crew has come under is really fire. our team was covering the return of civilians to their homes in the southern lot, southern lebanon village after they were forced to flee the area and avoid the idea of tac attacks. a member of our tooth crew was wounded and taken to a local hospital where his condition is not life threatening. the following stations have opened across bell rou, says motors to choose to leave the country for the next 5 years. 5 candidates are running to be head of states including president lucas. shank goes to test his ballot earlier. and these are the latest pictures for minutes before any ballots were test. western media jump to label the election ring, the dollars and president didn't minutes as words and risk usually for those of one of your arrivals whom we've spoken do says he openly support you. and the other one is lavishing praise on you can. it's a pretty strange presidential race, isn't it? to do to remo with steve. this is

a new experience for me. i've never seen anything like that. it's true. so what do you suggest i do? should i be happy or sad about it? is yes, there still. it is known that neither the us nor the european union, nor great britain recognize you as a legitimate president. what hopes do you have with the new us administration? do you hope that the situation will change with trump in office? tell me, please steve. if i made a statement right now that i don't recognize the us selection and i don't recognize trump, would anything in america change? or if i say that i don't recognize time or what would this change? nothing. it's the same thing here, whether you recognize the selection in the you or not. well, it's a matter of taste, i don't care. the main thing is that the election should be recognized by the citizens of bella, who was at least 60 journalists, joined alexander lucas shingle at that press conference,

including as you just sort of media from the so called collective west. now, the bill, russian elections will not be recognized by the european union according to their own statements. and this is not the 1st time this happens when the brussels or washington are not satisfied with the people's choice in various countries. just to take a look at the georgia over mania, for example, where despite the majority votes, brussels lead protests have fuels or the minority. so you to take this feed for. take a look at some old volva who opened multiple folding stations for a few of us citizens in the european union. well, given the minimum number of ballasts to the hundreds of thousands of bold owens in russia, and of course ukraine where the lens, his presidency already ended, as he observed power thanks to the western politicians who are youth. in this case of blazing pet or d. o democracy, think of this in what pro still i'm showing you. the problem is that they have

started to turn ukraine into an anti russia overseas. they know how to pick people against each other. great britain knows how to do it well. the west took advantage of this, 1st of all, the united states, they gave a hard push to an inexperienced river. and just a few days later i was talking to him. i've probably listen to zalinski for a few minutes and then i said, well, audio and send me one question. everyone is to blame, but not do. but where is the war going on? who's territory is the war on ukrainian territory? and you'll be the one to blame when the power shifts, the new authorities will forget about you. we are in favor of peace and ukraine. we have to take into account rushes position. now we can't go anywhere without it. america will not force russia. and if they do, it will only be to their detriment. this escalation can reach europe. that is why we must stop now. and this is in the interests of europe. first of all,

we need to detach ourselves from this american aircraft carrier and make a decision. a decision will be made this year and there will be some sort of resolution. the situation deliveries today is a far cry from what was happening in the streets here back in 2025 years ago, triggered by m. c. promises from the opposition. some people took some of the streets dissatisfied with the outcome of the last election, where alexander, all the christians go as one such a day. however, there isn't even a sense of what happened back then. it's the old, coordinated by the west, according to president lucas shingle. she just discussed absolutely full actions are coordinated and everything is managed from the united states. we have millions of such facts in billers and in other countries following up. so who pays the money, or does the music acute or p and funds, sometimes pay money to?

this is an absolutely co ordinate this policy. i even doubt that the, you repeat and to have any say in the discussions, especially now when they are sitting quietly and waiting for their faith to be decided in washington by the steam. donald trump, in addition to the elections of the west, also wanted to undermine and attack below, roost by minutes remains alexander, both of which secretary of the republic, the security council said that's administered sabotage training for radicals. he's currently underway in ukraine and the special center has also been set up in poland to 3 minutes in their task to capture the boarder regence of the rooms with the help of the watch next fetus. meanwhile, members of the election commission of galleries began to receive threats, affording to the chairman of the central election commission. now the freedom is fred, information about the private lives and personal dates of more than 10000 citizens who work as observers. a,

at the end commission numbers you bring the presidential elections. i live in, that's the elections are continue and here in biller roots and we'll conclude. ready our on sunday earlier i spoke with senior research fellow at the global policy institute, george samuel, a. it says the west is hardly want to talk about election legitimacy. the problem is, is the you isn't in a very good position to stop talking about the democratic legitimacy. we saw how in romania they cancelled an election right of every last minute because they knew that the person that they didn't want to win was on the rank of a massive victory we saw in moldova, and the outright fast of an election. because they knew that a, my assigned to was obviously destined for complete the feed. and therefore, the only hope they had of prevailing was simply denying the,

the mold over the square in russia from voting. you know, early to places to vote. and in each of the places, but it was only $5000.00 barrels, so hundreds of thousands of mold ovens, whence able to vote. and so the d. u really isn't in a very good position to stop talking about the democratic legitimacy and was told in the x ups that you apply. and um, look, i think of made it very good points, what the difference would be made. if i were to declare that, keeps thomas is not the legitimate prime minister of the u. k. or donald trump isn't the legitimate president of the united states. it wouldn't make one bit of difference. so if it's the same way, it doesn't matter what job, what kind of commerce declares filler receives them to what the west elizabeth like of course, they've got to say it's not legitimate, but it doesn't matter. they've been playing this rankled over and over again for years. oh us is putting

a freeze on for an aid. the news has been confirmed by the new president, donald trump, details so far or vague. but early our reports suggested the pause would be for 90 days and excluded israel. and egypt i impose a federal hiring freeze that federal regulation, freezer, foreign aid, res. oh, that's a nice and i created to do department of government efficiency and they're gonna have a lot of good people. a review of key organizations is believed to be under way, including in to the agency for international development or usa id or the measure. primarily suspends humanitarian and development assistance. military funding could be halted to ask for ukraine libraries, zalinski and system chemist at legal aid is secure. yes, i see. i know that there are some restrictions. you have to look at it in detail a 90 day limit on humanitarian programs. i can only say what ukraine may not

receive, and i am focused on military 8, and it is not stopped. as you had that for, i'd say lensky saying that this doesn't affect military a to tool to ukraine and not confirms what we've been hearing from other bodies in the last few days as it relates to the executive orders that donald trump signed just a few days ago when he became avenue president again of the usa, where he said that he was stopping funding for or for an agencies essentially. but that executive order was quite specific. this was to do with international assistance to develop them programs, an age ministry, a few crane doesn't come through those programs. we also have the job, i did. i did quite a few things before leaving the white test to try and secure the administrative view cleaned, at least for the next few months. so this seems to firm up that we understand is for the next 90 days, any programs through us military of a us age will not get any funding after the full of the soviet union back in the

1990s between then i'm just off to the mind encourage took place in 2014, something like $5000000000.00 us dollars was pumped into cranes. and of course, we've also now got, you know, us officials being closed on tape essentially saying that the money that was being spent in countries like ukraine was being used to a supervisor to the country. let's just take a listen to that. have invested over 5000000000 dollars to assist you crane in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic crane. today, there are a senior officials in the ukranian government in the business community, as well as in the opposition civil society and the religious community believe in this democratic and european future for their country. yeah, us is missing essentially, that isn't how this thing is in the pies all over the place when it comes to a country light. you claim, man, money for and politicians have accused usaid of funding groups involved in stirring

up trouble in their countries. a recent claim involved efforts to undermine the government of georgia. so what other examples do, do we know of? yeah, we'll, we'll start with georgia cuz that is obviously a very recent example. i was into pc just back in december and november. let me through the process that these are authorization process that the georgia government had said were being funded, would be focused rated by actors in the west. this is all over the web, the v elections, and i'll tell you, but we'll legitimate to know what it is, despite the fact that the top constitutional court in georgia said that they would legitimate no. we've now heard from a former minister in georgia who's going even further than the georgian prime minister, saying essentially there was a direct link between the money that comes from us age. and what is happening in countries like georgia. whether it's the, again, these simple to attempt to choose to take place. we have repeatedly said that organizations such as us a id and any d with the former being

a state agency and the latter supposedly a non governmental organization. but our both finance from the us budget play a very bad role in our country. they issue grants used to teach georgian youth how to carry out a to teach them how to use weapons and teach them how to deal legitimize law enforcement agencies and the government. what something looks like. this is just the type of the iceberg. great show lab usa, what's a look they say soft power, this is if i was promoting democracy in other countries, others would putting doesn't say no. this is a outright regime change to phase or what the us wants at any time. we spoke with a former director of in our governmental affairs for the us trade representative, steve gill. he said the blank checks for zalinski have run out. i think donald trump is made it clear. we're going to stop flooding money to other countries. while we take a pause and look at exactly what we're getting for our money,

and i think the donald trump's executive orders also calling for an audit of what we have sent to ukraine, which many have fought in the past. we need to know how much money has actually gone to where we were told it was going versus going into the pockets of the corrupted crafts in ukraine. but it's 1st of all going to put pressure if the, you know, western nations, if the, if the brits, if the others in western europe want to continue to fund this uh zaleski regime. they will have to step up and put even more end to make up for what the united states will stop putting in. i think the flow of weapons is going to come to a quick end as well as the, the fall of the so called for an aide. so i think it's got to put a cease to what the us is doing. and then either the western europeans are going to have to step up, or it's kind of put additional pressure on zelinski to come to the reality that the, the, the open checkbook has come to an end. and it's time to end the carnage that is taking place. and then as president trump has pointed out, what has been avoided all the long if he had been president the last 4 years

instead of jo vitamins. however, together with israel washington's era of allies, jordan and egypt are a part of the exempt from the aid freeze ordered by donald trump. in the meantime, the american president has been suggesting that the massive refugee population of gaza should be relocated to those countries. i'd like egypt to take people and i'd like jordan to take people. you're talking about a 1000000 and a half people and we just clean out that whole thing. you know, over the centuries, it's have many, many conflicts. and i don't know something has to happen. it's literally a demolition side. almost everything is demolished and people are dying. the so i'd rather get involved with some of the arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change. that's as guys as express fear that the war is likely to continue under washington's new administration. many doubt that terms, policies will say over them. this is from trump's policy and the policy of the

whole west be synonymous with the policy of israel in order to control the entire region. of course, trump is following the same political model of the war. we'll continue to move from that. it's going to trumps policy will be a mix policy in the sense that he will try to provide supplies and weapons to these rallies, and at the same time try to stop the war. but i believe that he will not stop the war. and israel will continue, it's aggression on the cause of stress and i'll have a different how long can you cool? there might be an agenda related to israel, or a specific policy behind it to my, you know, but the reality we saw is that the was stopped or give us we hope that what lies ahead will be better and that his decision will be better for the palestinian people hopefully won't offer us anything. he won't provide us with anything. perhaps he will act against us in his personal interests in the interest of his country, as well as in those of israel and those of other countries. we are not considered

to be a state or nation by him to him, we are not even the people we don't even exist. the 2nd prisoner at hosted swap between israel and the moss has taken place as part of the ongoing cease fire agreement between the sides. 200 palestinians had been released from his rarely jails. the majority who were allowed to return to the west bank had been serving life sentences according to the palestinian prisoners office. 70 people convicted of the most serious crimes have already been deported to egypt are to spell this palestinians who has been released. i was sentenced to 28 years with some years suspended. it's an indescribable feeling beyond words. it's something great beyond expression. may god bless you. when they drag this out and told us that we were about to be released, they said go, go home, go home. and i was sentenced to 25 years and served 13 god willing. i want to focus on my home, my mother and my children. i want to make up for the years. they've lost the

difficult days. they lived through and the tough circumstances they endured me. god gave me the strength to make it up to them. there's nothing more to say, but thank god, who has blessed us with freedom as its neighbors on the mediterranean coast. welcome a pause in hostilities. ron has successfully conducted extensive navy drills across the north and central persian gulf as part of a series of nationwide military exercises. the rainy and vessel supplied a i enhanced the surface to surface missiles to strike, assigned the targets on the shore and in the air is naval commander has said, the drills are designed to, to improve the coordination and readiness of its forces and provide a sense of security for its allies in the region attends the intentions, continued to boil on the d. r. c. rolanda border with air space over the or c

capital now closed. well, that's after a un peacekeeping mission and the east of the democratic republic of the congo has partially withdrawn personnel from goma under what's described as worsening security conditions. images from the area show a smoldering armor. the un vehicle reportedly hit by m 23 insurgents. a jump of land, the supreme commander has given some instructions with the enemy who is attacking us. the aggressor must be hunted down to that last entrenchment, pushed back from government and pursued them until they leave the entire national territory. they occupy it is a duty. it is a patry, i'll take obligation. ms. antonia 3 congolese fighters had been steadily advancing toward goma. they already occupied a large territory on the frontier with you again. the end of a one to the conflict has been raging since 2021, driven by the m 23. and the legend layer with the support of vermont and government forces in galway, however,

denies that claim. and then the deteriorating relations to the r c has now recalled us diplomats and is demanding the closure of rwanda embassy and consortia. within 48 hours, we heard reaction from local is about what's unfolding be here. and goma, the situation is becoming more complex every day. has humanitarians we are trying to fulfill our mission, but how can we do so when bombs explode and bullets whistle around every street corner? it makes our work almost impossible. to go, we left our villages to seek refuge here in goma. no, do not. and yet here too, and we cannot escape the sound of bombs. we had to flee again, walking through for us to find another sanctuary. the situation is tearing us apart and end up with our children. no longer have the chance to continue their education because of the lack of resources they fall ill. and the women among us are still coming to disease now. and we keep walking, hoping to escape the danger. i wanted to run

a journalist from the english language rolanda newspaper, the new times, albert without cembura says after a quarter of a century and the d. r. c, you in peace papers have clearly failed in that room. it for the last 25 years ever since 1999. did you when decided to send a peacekeeping mission and it was the biggest global only thing the whole world is the biggest mission. that being there for doing this, the 5 year. ready is when the municipal because that's the name of this uh it's a ration arrived and 1999 that we're so good group in that region today for the 5 years later we have 218. so there is a sofa, an incredible failure from the un. an entity street has been just moving up phone on. i'm taking moultrie, as mode that we're getting up. that's it did the same thing. so i don't even see after all of these years. well, we can see that gives us that cheap uh,

being beaten by the end of the 3. so i don't think we, we have anything to expect. ringback keeps us out of turning the tide right now. over to south korea, now we're impeached president you into google has been formally indicted on the interaction charges by the constitutional court. the presidents, priest and position of martial law in december triggered the arrest. all right, let's get more now on these legal actions for market correspondence. hesky and taylor, who joins me live in our newsrooms husky. what more can you tell us about this? ongoing developments concerning south korea is president into fuel? well, what a well, when it's been for you and so kill south chris, in fact, old president from declaring motional in december, we need to resend it. 6 hours later he was an in pizza, and then in january, arrested. now prosecutors have indicted him making him sold, fost had a state and not just to be taken into custody,

but also to be under criminal investigation. so face charges. this is a cool fool the full out from not to create on december 3rd, when you effectively locked the government down, citing pro north korean forces within the country. the ledge to basically copying the rights of assembly suspending such rules, press freedom smart. you went out the window that was also a limit on the powers of quotes as well as government agencies plus that was the power to deploy the military to restore all to. and so ultimately, the degree will serve a town by parliamentarians, really in the early hours of that same morning. the scan to has a room full could be tarnished you though his noise, altering that his actions have been misunderstood. killing me. this martial law was different from past marshal laws. the president declared it as part of an effort to appeal to the people regarding the major opposition parties. reckless impeachment of t officials appointed by june budget cuts,

various anti state actions and access severely hindered national interest. the goal of use declaration of martial law was to awaken the public correct state of affairs and restore constitutional order to me. therefore, the president considered the martial law proclamation as a mere formality and did not think deeply about it. part of what law his legal team will have it stay in court to paid his case father, but if it's on successful, he is actually facing life imprisonment or even death. there's south career has no executed, anyone in decades. now you would think that as president disgraced or not, he would have a degree of immunity. but the challenge that he is facing, which is ringing aging and insurrection. it's actually one of the few criminal charges from which leadership in the east asian nation does not have any immunity. i know that this really is a reflection of a how deep thought political prices that you triggered at the start of december was

this just put to remind ourselves of some of the most k you'll take moments of that martial north declaration night when opposition legislators is one of some civilians clashed with white please. the well use legal was actually to ted because on top of this criminal pro, he is also attending a hearing in the constitutional court and that it will be decided whether or not to remove the 64 year old from office. if the answer is yes, then, and the election will have to be held within 60 days. so the tomo in the south of the career and not peninsula continues. you suck you all only in power since 2022.

now not just a risk of being stripped of the presidency, but also potentially staring down the barrel of a life behind balls or to correspond at assess scale. taylor sounds good, thank you. or for i do say with us here on our to international have next to enroll, depart asana and her guest discussed the return of donald trump to the white house and all the political drama that goes with it. bye for now. the hello and welcome to worlds of part 3. turn of the trunk to the white house. certainly opens up a new chapter in the american political drama. that's got the many around the world

fatigue with its high page last year effects. and at times previous case ethics. well, this reality show ever and can american politics come back to its founding and authentically practiced values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? both to discuss and i'm now enjoyed by a professor of history at american university. professor cruz think is great to see you again. thank you very much for your time. i have to be with you. now. i know that you looked extensively into the history of the american presidency and, but i think the united states, more than any other country, you can sort of draw conclusions about the state and the society based on the kind of personalities that i'm buying for power in this sense what do you think the 2nd coming of trump signifies was interesting that i use a term 2nd coming. because i was the image that trump gave in his inaugural address

that somehow got it saves him. and god's purpose was to make america great again. and trump was, is vessel for doing so many people who support him tend to express a similar kind of attitude. they do their very and educated there also a lot of people who think he is the 2nd coming of saying i'd be closer to the 2nd cab then to the 1st camp. and maybe there was something very, very different about donald trump as president. and in some ways, we have to separate his domestic policy, hopefully from his foreign policy. although we base that on his 1st term and office that stuff so clear, i won't be so condescending, all of donald trump and he has base simply because of their ability to put forth a more educated candidate. somebody who can argue, um, you know, somewhat different point of view from the mainstream has been rather constrained

was not, i mean, to some extent trunk is uh you can say an argument, but still a child that american political system well is the bastard step, son of the american political system in that regard, he's manages to, he has a lot of popularity in certain sectors. in his base is iron type means that no matter what he does, he said he can shoot somebody in broad daylight on 5th avenue, and he wouldn't lose a single vote. so you know that that base of his will stick with him and they believe in him. we as so far, it doesn't seem that no matter what he does is going to lose them. but the power of the guy, let me just interject here a little bad because we have have a lot of advocate that you know, highly polished american liter. it's like present the.
