so the donald trump threatens to cut off for us funding to south africa, siding land confiscation issues as the applicant nation stays firm on its new expropriation at the head of washington, it's newly established government efficiency initiative. eli mazda says the us agency for international development must be shut down as the institution is too cricket to be paid. we never received 100000000000 out of these ones in 77, or even 200 and some people say, this is important. i don't know where all that money is. the last big claims he has no idea where most of the money is sent by the, by the end government for ukraine have done. that's as the suspension of foreign aid by the true white house as officials, worried in key plus,
7:01 am
despite destroying most of jobs and internally displacing as people is really prime minister places to keep pushing the palestinians as he arrive for talks with his us ally, president trump our decisions and the courage of our soldiers to redraw on the map. but i believe that working closely with president trump, which and redrawn even further and for the better the from our headquarters in moscow you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble. we begin in south africa where an ongoing disagreement over land reform policy has washington and for toria, facing off, south africa's foreign ministry has firmly defended a new expropriation act, claiming it aligns with the country's constitutional democracy. while us president donald trump has threatened to cut off funding to the nation,
7:02 am
trump has concerns over our lives, land confiscation, that echo his past administrations criticisms, and is demanding the south african policies be looked into. in south africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people very badly. it is a bad situation that the radical left media doesn't want to so much as mention a massive human rights violation at a minimum is happening for all to see. the united states won't stand for it, we will act also. i will be cutting off all future funding to south africa until a full investigation of the situation has been completed. the, let's cross now to our, to correspond it and all of will you convey with this bond between the south african president and donald trump is carried over from his 1st term. what more can you tell us about it? the absolute, see rachel?
7:03 am
and did you so african government has responded to these remarks and facing sounds activation. and the response is received in the motion of the land confiscation, which rein via explanation as to as a b cannot be qualities and justice. a sentiment, which of course has not been said by many in the country or even outside. the government is also extended to an olive bronze for the discussion hitting a raw, the hinting at a complex diplomatic meet up ahead with the u. s. government minister of international relations and whatnot level not as also responded to crohn's remarks urging him to gain a deeper understanding of the country's policies. was in the framework office into a rather constitutional democracy. she wrote on social media saying that she does trust that prison. donald trump's advisors will leverage this investigation periods to deepen their understanding of the logic has policies. and really one would hope
7:04 am
that president trump would try to understand the facts and the realities of the situation. in south africa vases and repeating, disturbing, racially divisive talking points like it is right now, but have listened to that response from present on the south. africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice and equality. the south african government has not confiscated any land. the recently adopted expropriation act is not a confiscation instrument, but a constitutionally mandated legal process that ensures public access to land in an equitable and just manner as guided by the constitution. south africa like the united states of america and other countries has always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of rights of property owners. we look forward to engaging with the trump administration over our land reform policy and issues of bilateral interest. we are certain that out of those
7:05 am
engagements, we will share a better and common understanding over these matters. it's really unfortunate to add misinformed copies from donald trump because the roots off of this $112.00 se, go way back into so that because colonial cost, when a small white to minority health power, $1.00 crucial way the white government preserved that power was through a native land act, which was a lot of the band black people from acquiring agricultural land beyond issue results. the effects of that and as the laws could still be solved even to this day, office of africa became a majority, black and government, and 1994. it is a topic very due to many people's hearts in the country and because of that one can help. but notice the response from president on my posts at this time being a beat up rather put muted compared to how would watson 2018 when president trump
7:06 am
1st made such an accurate. com is, is that's haven't listened to how the prison responded. becky, this is too much work for the 1st, you know that i don't know what to do with the to the tone has really changed from that. and in this recent response from a post, it has also clarified that american aid is a minor part of the country's financial landscape. we do know that so that africa is a major beneficiary off us funding. and the,
7:07 am
the emergency plan for aids relief and that funding was a really and the street of the donald trump's freeze on foreign age across the country or other across the world. but other than that, the president's office is the, is no as a significant funding that is provided by the united states in south africa. and i guess the funding part to offer to really promote a reaction from as the leaders in the country as well. we sole minnes stall off of mineral and petroleum resources with them, and asked if calling on africa to united gays prison in terms of states, say that african nations, a robot holes from the most call solution. if it needs be, have a listen to this lessons learned made out to us. so that gives it to give. they don't give us money the minutes. but it is a development is, let's say why with drawing funding. no, we're minute as independent and devil with something that we have one more tests
7:08 am
back us and this all coming less than 2 weeks off to present the posts assigned the new rule, making it easier for the state to expropriate. land subject of course, to see a compensation paid. it is not a secret that the government has struggled to fulfill its promise to the bottom and she bade a buyback program. so you comes to live with the program or rather the government also that for god is pushing a new plan to extend the rates of the redistribution of land. the plan has of course important. it's shared off critics who, who have condemned it as a policy rooted in hostility towards why solomon's hey this donald trump says it's a hosp treatment directed at specific communities. meaning why people, which is not true. i'm 5 now the amc really pushing at to try to make it easy for the state to, to take a land in an effort to address racially on
7:09 am
a quote that own this past who was dating back to a pot. tate and the spy supreme responses from the leaders in the country. the treat has really made some sort of an impact. the country's privacy open the day quite high off to those remarks from prison tramps. which means that it has a several investors already. we're, we a bought land reform in the south african country are to zillow, who you can. gabriel, who thank you, of the, to as questions and grow over where us tax their money is going. head of the newly established department of government efficiency. eli mosque says the us agency of international development must be shut down because it's impossible to fix. and you're savvy is a bowl of words. mm hm. right. there is no apple. and when there is no apple that this you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing. well, sparkle us a id, one's one of washington's most food. foreign policy tools are now hardly in need of
7:10 am
age itself. why? because it's found itself in the process of both the u. s. president honest, we just had the world's richest mind, the trauma reducing, building ever since trump took off that committee, food, hundreds of its employees helping fire disabilities to dispense funds has been frozen for 90 days. uh, its website was put offline at which the page went dock and now apparently, mazda wants to bury it. so he's really taking his, his new job. serious. see, the final school seems to have been to him when to members of his cost cutting team tried to gain access to a part of the agencies headquarters in d. c. they were actually denied entry of hartley because of lack of security clearance as a result to top officials about she's been put on leave and now we've got all these room is a corruption. even friedman, now let's see uh, swelling. so it's quite the food from grace uh, full usa id, which impulse has been long, a daunting of the american police gwinnett. well,
7:11 am
the one who's talking detail provide to the notice you've been watching all teeth. the last couple of years relates to us a ideas, involvement in, and i'm going to be very generous here. global health initiatives. did you know the us aid using your tax dollars funded by a weapon research, including cobit 19 that killed millions of people? well, this is significant. why it's significant because often till now, from the us that have and did not deny to not most famously, inventor newton's denied at the pen to good. then it denied the thing. yes. okay, we do split system labs in ukraine in africa, for example. the principal for the good of mankind, were developing vaccines with ensuring that there is no outbreak of infectious diseases. whereas most was point to something much more fitness stuff. he said, but that research was about creating weapons, overall of mass destruction. oh, this is something that must go, has been warning about 6 years now, and in fact, it's full. but one of the main reasons that one of russia's top generals was
7:12 am
assassinated at the end of last year was precisely because he was at the forefront of exposing this us government sponsored abuse of dangerous passages. which if i'm nice, could re total. how the on the walls. yeah. can you give us some more background here to us a id. it's an agency agency that really is no stranger to controversy. no, i mean it is a for an age, but he must its functions and over a $150.00 countries that's got a bunch of nitty $50000000000.00. basically it hands out money so it dissolves to release of fighting poverty. but also, and this is where it gets controversial, it channels funds into civil activism. our claims, of course, is the one about promoting democracy. it's a empowering the people. but the issue is, who incidentally, us a id choose is to empower people in nations. what government policies don't align
7:13 am
with american and trust and co, incidentally way us cash flows, very often mass protests and sometimes even crews take place. now the most obvious example of this, it's, you praise us a id, it had been active. that's the over 2 decades. and it was really culminated in the 2014 my don crew. this was admitted by r s. k junior. the nephew of the very my, as we actually found to the agency j, f, k. us a id which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots, those riots lead to the a to a could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected of the ukraine. a month before that comment is over on victoria new and was, you know, the part of the center piece of the economy audiology and who is now a high level official in the state department. as a secret call with the us and passenger, which is tape record and is now public,
7:14 am
which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets, the u. k. ukraine. it really is just the tip of the iceberg. a host of global need to is have accused usa idea of really pushing for that. a doubtful. i mean, just to highlight reel batteries and the 2020 mass protest sponsoring of position groups incentives. way not. it was actually kicks out of bolivia by as president morales off the he on carpet. they have been funding set protest groups in some of the nations which just regions, lots of listing that let's not forget, it was also in past song and syria. and i'm actually when the agencies burying a torres had some of the powers, visited budapest, hungary, the suppose is your pin nation, which does not tow the line. we know one issues like l g b t or you prayed for to just a rock did thing r o connor resolution incoming. last but not least,
7:15 am
we had to which the american tax payers money cannot be used to organize a revolution in georgia. do you remember the canvas training when representatives of the cultural spear were trained to organize a revolution in georgia? us a id, money was used specifically for this. the trump administration stated that american funding, american tax payer money was being used to destabilize the situation in other countries and to create revolutionary scenarios. so i mean, we can see a time on, again, why usa i take pops up very close behind, very often as instability and often violence begging of course the question, what point this coincidence become a pass and at what point does a pattern become a strategy? yeah, so you mentioned the strategy strategy requires money. what, what are the numbers we're talking about here? let's put it this way. what i'm that i'm going, you put your head double put triplet times it by 10. okay. us
7:16 am
a id is one of washington's most well funded offices. usaid by these are $50000000000.00 budget. the entirety of the intelligence community is only 72000000000. so it is as more than the c i a in more than the state department. wow . and 8 is basically as usaid is effectively a switch player to, to assist the pentagon with, with it on the national security front to assist the state department on the national interest front. or to assist the intelligence community on a, on a sort of clandestine operations. people might accuse me of cynicism, they say no, it's usa idea. it's just charitable, but we also need to be realistic. the world of great power politics is not one of selflessness. it is a game of the new frame of looking for weak spot. so investing and then guaranteeing a return on your investment us a i d, 's, a normal budget is a reflection supposed to be the greatest reflection of the sun for role that it has played in manifesting. some of the white house is great to st means of shape,
7:17 am
picks the wild as best suits washington's interest. it isn't on that starts in the office and spreads all around the world. so utah post on the power of the open office diminishes. that is why this is such a big story and that is why, whoops and regime change and sees yes in dc, up in on the suspension of foreign aid by the trump white house has riled officials in kiev. bottom are zalinski is demanding even more money. however, when asked by americans or less, where all the cash dished out during the bite of the presidency has gone through training and liter claim the hasn't actually seen most of the reported amount. the younger lou julia i here and have heard before. would you mind today we hear from the us on that america gave you crane hundreds of billions, allow 177000000000 to be precise. this was the exact figure that was supported or voted on by congress and various organizations not look as the president of
7:18 am
a war and country i tell you. so we have received more than $75.00. that is, we never received 100000000000 out of these ones and 77, or even 200 and some people say, this is important to get the, i don't know where all that money is. it may be true on paper. there may be hundreds of different programs that maybe we don't talk to you or are we are very grateful forever, things of what as president and when we received those, i'm noting this down over 70000000000 and 76 or something like that. and it's of great help, but it's not 200. let's be honest. it's, it's not 200000000000. my colleague charlotte investigate, discuss this with our, to contributor tar reed, who says ukraine has been plunged into corruption and zaleski is trying to grab as much money as he can before he eventually leaves. they've also, you know, um, arrested a few of ukrainian people who were actually embezzling some of the money. that was god. so you're just about a $100000000000.00. that's
7:19 am
a lot of money. now. some of the money was actual weapons, so they were given a weapons, even those weapons were gone. and we've done stories about talking about how, where are those weapons they didn't make it to you crazy. then they to find out they were sold on the black market and some ended up in europe. so you have a nest of corruption right now. and of course you have zelinski at the top of it. now he knows there's a new sheriff in town. donald trump, and so donald trump's going to be asking some questions about where is that $100000000000.00? and that's going to be an interesting i'm when we get those answers. so is it money laundered back to some americans? is it among some of the, with zalinski and some of his, you know, cronies, it's been a bottomless pit from the start and i think that, you know, the way it's been handled, the lack of transparency. and then of course you have on the us side, it's lack of transparency menu of the pentagon, wanting an audit for the 8th time before donald trump came in. so now you have
7:20 am
a freeze on the for an aide. he's said no more money is going to ukraine, i think is the whiskey is accepted that faith for now? i think he's trying to back pedal are trying to shift the blame because, you know, he has been responsible. obviously there's been a lot of corruption there and he has a few villas to show for it doesn't a apparently, so i'm even more is big business. a lot of the money goes into manufacturing the weapons. so some would say, perhaps the money's going directly to us companies who do that, who's desperately be making a killing from this was the last few is do you think they're all specific people outside of those you've already said who are actually benefiting from this us cache? that apparently doesn't get to you quite. i mean, absolutely. you're looking at some of the weapons manufacturers that have benefited . i mean, some of their profit showed up. i think it was in 2023. 1 of them showed a profit of like, uh, a trillion dollars since the beginning of all these conflicts. so yes,
7:21 am
there is money there. so you're talking about defense contractors. you're talking about n g o's that were funded, you know, that were fueled by the democrats. you're talking about um, you know, how much is that personally benefit lindsey graham. and many of them sit on the boards of some of these weapons when you manufacturer. so they personally benefits . they also make trades and the ones that are public. so you're talking a lot of money that's changing hands. and then also there's been money that's gone over to ukraine, that has disappeared and gone into of pockets and shown up in the form of like lamborghini is with some of these ukranian, all a drugs. you have an illegitimate president and ukraine. there's been no elections held, he's obviously, you know, as a tucker, carlson referred to him a little dictator. and so for him he just wants to get as much money as he possibly can before he has to disappear. he is really prime minister has arrived in washington for his 1st meeting with newly inaugurated president trump on tuesday.
7:22 am
our team middle east barrow, a chief ran from ocean that takes us through what's at stake is really prime minister is in washington dc, taking on a high stakes visit his the 1st for later to be to face to face with newly elected president. donald trump, along side top us officials and team members of congress. and this isn't just a visit as since india, who has a full teams time at the white house more than any other for later in history and the time. and it's crucial, a ticking clock hangs over guys, i'm afraid you all see as far as deal just over 2 weeks old. now expires, march. first. the next round of talks to shape the 2nd phase. well, deadline arrives on monday, but right now we hear that's no clear plan. caught her the key immediate during the negotiations between israel and her mouth set on sunday that there are still no clear details on how when talks will start. it seems that nothing moves until maybe
7:23 am
talks to trump and they see these 4 very differently from has made histones. loud and clear a long time ago. he won space war 2, and according to the latest figures from gases, communications ministry, over 61000 people have been killed and 15 months old, from a fighting and from one to 2. and also donald trump wants all the hostages back home, off the full rounds of exchanges between israel and from us, 79, now roommate and continued to at least set you full of them, confirmed that by the, by the idea. but an engineer who is under tremendous pressure or head tone from his father rides, coalition, primarily finance minister smotts ridge, who threatened to leave the government and bring political cares if the war doesn't to restore it off to the initial phase of the seas far. so what happens in this mixing between b, b and trunk metters big time, but gala isn't the only flash point before boarding his lied to us into the apple hinted at redrawing the map of the middle list and these words come,
7:24 am
one is really forces are pending operations and go to pod was bank with speculation, immersion about panic sation while the last one on idea of never fully withdrawal despite to deal with his bowl and in syria, is really forces now control heart of the ceiling. go on, hides a death on that plays the country's defense ministers that including the strategic mile and have more. and so the timing is very crucial. the decisions we made in the war of already change the face of the middle east. our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. but i believe of working closely with president trump. we can redraw it even further and for the better. i believe that we can strengthen security, broadening the circle of these and achieve a remarkable bureau of these strew spit. i think the yeah, hold drawn, gave only a vague description of his upcoming pulse with these really prime minister. the
7:25 am
discussions are in the middle east. various and sundry other are in fact earlier, trump was much more direct about his mid least plans, especially for guys on his proposal. relocating thousands and thousands of thousands to foreign countries including a japan jordan to quote clean. but how saying both nations have already flat to rejected the idea, but from has hinted the u. s. financial age could be on the line if they don't comply. and this isn't the 1st time we've heard told slide, says trump son in law and former top advisor who has previously expressed great interest in gas as land seen. it's great potential for waterfront, real estate and gases waterfront property. it could be very valuable to if people
7:26 am
would focus on kind of building up, you know, likelihood. so i think that it's a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but i think from israel's perspective, i would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up. but i don't think that israel has stated that they don't want people to move back there afterwards. are they serious about that? now? some is really asked for believe this whole relocating gavin's thing could be just a bluff and negotiate and tactic to reach a normalization agreement. between saudi arabia and a's role from sees peace between tel aviv as we add as part of a golden age for the middle east. now trump is making his move using the momentum from gaz cease 5, but 3. yeah, it has one major condition. no deal without a real past due probably students stayed home from sweden is different. and now some experts assume that he uses the slats clean the whole thing multiple to pressure this out. it was like in 2019 the last and these will flow to the west
7:27 am
bank annexation only to draw faith in exchange for normalization, where the united arab emirates fix out here we, we uphold the same playbook as well as surely to talk about that we have to wait and see all in all 4 and into the or the states couldn't be higher. and it's still unclear by the way, if he'll return to israel before the next host of relieves on such a day. for now, he remains in you asked, preparing for a visit with trump scheduled for tuesday. that's good, really. we shape the region up next on going on, the ground host of should, or tom said talks with daniel mcadams from the ron paul liberty report about donald trump's rude awakening. over his tender pressure. russia on your crime, stay with us or on our to international by the
7:28 am
hello and welcome defrost the full board. here we discuss the wheel in the the
