the, the, the, just a ball of war armaments, the line must calls to wipe out the us agency for international development and institution known for its efforts to remap the world at true cruise. and the chaos south africa firmly dismissed as donald trump stripes, to cut off us funding to praetorian defense. it's a new land grab law and panama backs out of renewing its participation in china's belt and road initiative following friends from the us secretary of state on his 1st trip overseas. the you are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. we begin with the planned meyer

over where us taxpayer money is going head of the newly established department of government officials to eli mosque. it 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 lumps. there, there is no apple. and when there is no apple, there's this, you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing, falls apart for us. a id, one's one of washington's most faded foreign policy tools. and now, pardon me, in need of aid itself, why? because it's found itself in the process of both the us, president honest, we just had the world's richest mind. the trauma really has been building ever since trump took off that sweetie food. hundreds of its employees helping fired its ability to defend funds has been frozen for 90 days, its website was put offline, its twitch a page went dark and now apparently most wants to bury it. so he's really taking his got his new job seriously. the finest will seems to have been for him when 2

members of his cost cutting team tried to gain access to a part of the agency's headquarters in dc. and they were actually denied entry apparently because of lack of security clearance as a result to top officials about she's been put on leave. and now we go to these room is a corruption, even prim. and now let's see, flooding and the agency really doesn't do anything to debunk these occupations with behavior like this, there were going to support humanitarian efforts and in ukraine. so i wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent. we got all kinds of threats from usa id because i was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in congress. so it's quite the food from grace, full usa id, which of course has been long

a daunting of the american political needs. it must really is not mincing words when he does his discussing usaa. you've talked in broad terms about criminality and corruption. do you have any specifics? well, the one who's talking a detailed provide to the notice he's been watching on teeth. the last couple of years relates to us a i. d, as in bozeman, in and i'm going to be very generous here. global health initiative. did you know that 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 tool now from the us that has been did not deny to not most famously but tor newland denied it, dependent to good that and it denied defend yes. okay. we do support system lives in ukraine and africa, for example. personal 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 sinister. and he's saying that that research was about

creating weapons of full of mass destruction. this is something the most go has been warning about for years now. and in fact, it's full. but one of the main reasons that one of russia's top generals was 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 nice, could re total, how the con, the welds, yeah. can you give us some more background here to usa? i did, it's an agency agency that really is no stranger to controversy. no, i mean it is a for an age, but he must, it's 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. now it claims, of course, it's all 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 with american and trust and co, incidentally, why us cash flows very often mass protests and sometimes even crews take place. now the most obvious example of this, if you paid us a i, d, had been active, that's the over 2 decades. and it's what really culminated in the 2014 my done crew . this was admitted by r s. k junior, the nephew of the very man who actually found to be agency j, f k u as a id, which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots, those riots lead to the uh, to it could a talk against the 1st elect, democratically electric. i'm in the ukraine a month before that comment is over. it sounds like tore a new and you know,

the top part of the center piece of the in the economy. audiology and who is now a high level official and the state department has a secret call with us and passenger, which is tape record and is now public, which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets, the ukraine, ukraine. it really is just the tip of the iceberg. a host of global need to have accused usa idea of really pushing for that. a doubtful. i mean, just to highlight reel by the rest of the 2020 mass protest us sponsoring position groups incentives. way not. it was actually kicks out to bolivia by as president morales of to he on carpet. they have been funding set protest groups and some of the nations which just regions lots of listing. but let's not forget, it was also in public stone and syria. and i'm actually with the agencies very in a tory as heads about the power has visited budapest, hungary. this of course is

a your pin nation which does not tow the line. we know one issues like belgy b, t or ukraine point to just to erupt of saying are. 2 color red produce an incoming last but not least, we had georgia 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, we can save time on again, why usa i take pops up very close behind, very often as in stability and often violence. becky, and post 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. a strategy requires money. what,

what are the numbers we're talking about here? let's put it this way. what i'm going, i'm going to put in your head dump of that put triplet times it by 10 us a id is one of washington's most well funded offices. usaid, by the way, is a $50000000000.00 budget. the entirety of the intelligence community is only 72000000000. so it is as more than the c i a and 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. now people might accuse me of cynicism, they say no to say i tell you it's just charitable, but we also need to be realistic. the world of great power politics is not one of self. smith's, it is a game of the new frame of looking for weak spot. so investing and then guaranteeing a return on your investment usa. i gave the norm as budget is

a reflection, supposed to be the greatest reflection of the senate for role. but it has played in manifesting some of the white house is great to streams of shape. pick the wild as best suits washington's interest. it isn't on that starts in the office and spread floating around the world. so you chop off the on the power point for office diminishes. that is why this is such a big story and that is why walks and regime change and sees yes in dc up and on this cross and now to test for a class right, editor and shape at the s on the by the telegraph cuts. we're going to have you on the program with us, eli musk accusing usa idea of funding, biological weapons, the research that we know russia has long war and the of suspicious activities by us organized by a labs around the world. if this is indeed the case, what possible goals could washington possibly have for a policy like this?

but i believe it's a blessing to, but that's a good this guy for all of the countries that have been receiving be id as a part of you have to include a box, it's on a brand, it's on that on the parts of the world, including it, shows, but i take this is really a big step for the, the top items dition to put that on there. because uh, you know, uh its pockets on i'd be good big job. i'll do 1919. it is 1919, but i'm doing the your say i haven't pockets on it. i see also the open window for you is independence in focus on the 5th. i know you know that if i could find these bonds are going to be done. the loops for every in every everything. so the stress of the, and this is how do us it, i've been doing by the united states of america to mother, to enter into the if you believe that in terms of matches off to produce,

improve the carpet. and this is the example for a when it's on a problem. and that does cause sunday. so but to bring it to us dollars in around the time as possible for us it. but then i just curious, i'm done through this amazing country. i'm finding the same as a country saying that is the case with, you know, give you some time to take the exam 1st off, or salt lake on the other country just for a lot of time. yeah. a you could just give an example of a 2 countries in the middle of it. i forgot. so i believe it is a part of the for the countries like 5 or something, but i think is the best thing. but these guys are all the can do. this because most of the us, it happened, but i'll definitely give a deep cleaning jobs to, to be a, to the people that have to do with the, uh, you know, uh punches including the boxes on the stand on the apps. what the problem, the problem is, is it not show, i believe, as if i could find it. it is a shame for them to look united states to get the, you know,

the usa or i get these for some of the think go from as it seemed as a case with the of the continued across the globe as well as the. so can you park it? yeah, yeah, you said that us i did, has had a long presence in pakistan. um your country. uh, i'd like to um ask you if the agency is shut down, what kind of impact would it likely have on the nation? and then a pockets on has actually requested a united states of america to have a 2nd time there. and it's all over my information. see my 9090 days have been provided to all the of a program that i'll be running under as a part of us here to the pockets. i'm there not be shut down but think it was there was a statement from the one on the bottom. do they policies are from so definitely the people who are, who have been working as a part of the c like the us it. so it'd be about shocking that i've

been flooded across all those departments who have been receiving these days. but 90 days that i've been given to all of the projects of the cost of just saving pocket costs and also $19.00 did they often let's say that there may be a job with this towards the you'll see these, the entities and the n g wasn't the but the section off, let me tell you the show from instructional pockets on is relatively new statement . that is, it is a blessing in disguise, in case of yours, and then shut down the, you know, at the end of the part of the series, the blessing and this guy, the problem is i wrote them. ok. so you talk about usa, i, these meddling in the countries affairs, i know washington's history. and this, i'm about has been controversial with millions uh, spent a decade ago, reportedly bringing little change to issues there. so what's your reaction to that? a sub assessment and and also in general,

how has the agencies activity in pakistan and was received as well the but when we talked about the government stuff definitely, or the government for any pockets on have been receiving video talk to us did since 19 eighties. they have been coming because that it has been a money that has it building a from united states, a file with department of pockets on indeed has been broken by the government on the uh oh, the time. but uh, you know, some people there are some, uh, uh, you know, the people would take it as a blessing in disguise. what was the monthly, is it possible that the us government says 90 there to have been fueled? i get it to do it just fit in fucking phones is i know that the, you know, the, the have india at home or is it the bottom that had been good they did that happen to see like a, you know, by election on for

a long time but pockets on cannot do it because pockets, always bundle would be unfortunate. can see that i've been receiving it and the us how they put the pressure on it. so we can not buy it with that. sure. i think it's available to answer on a very cheap and just ask a representative, but send me the, gave me the fucking time is the police have to buy it. i don't know just because all this he had all to us. i just all died. us have been provided in terms of us 8 the pockets on that's really open the window so i cannot research them into the in the car. so i believe as a part of the funny, this is really booked, and then i wish this it should be done immediately. so it's a blessing for the blessing to discuss all the boxes on the right password tests for our editor in chief at the s on the by the telegraph. thank you. a sense of what i'm all right. turning now to south africa where in,

on going in disagreement over land reform policy has washington. and for toria, facing off, south africa's president has firmly defended a new expropriation act. same of the lines with the countries that constitutional democracy. while the us president has threatened to cut off with funding to the nation, donald trump's concerns that center on what he calls unfair land confiscation, and is demanding the policies be looked into. the criticism is a holdover from his 1st term in office. 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 in the united states won't stand for it. we will act all so i will be cutting off all future funding to south africa until a full investigation of the situation has been completed. he said, i think a government has responded to these are law, sand facing funds, accusation,

and the response is received in the motion of land confiscation between via export creation act to as a b cannot be quality and justice a sentiment which of course has not to be shared by many in the country or even outside the government is also extended to an olive bronze for discussion, hitting a rather hinting at a complex diplomatic meet up ahead with the u. s. government administer of international relations and whatnot. level not as also responded to cancer months seem 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 he does trust that prison, donald trump advises will leverage this investigation periods to deepen the understanding of so that because policies and really one would hope that to present

trump would try to understand the facts and the realities of the situation in south africa, ross's and repeating, disturbing, racially divisive talking points like he is right now, but haven't listened to that response from present on the pos in 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 the 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 engagements, we will share

a better and common understanding over these matters. so who's on this $112.00 se, go way back into this of africa's colonial cost. when a small, why to minority house power? one crucial way the wife 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 reserves. the effects of that and the laws can 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 thoughts in the country and because of that one can help. but notice the response from president on my posts of this time being a beat, a rather put muted to, compared to how it was between 18 when president trump 1st made such an accurate. com is, is that's having this into how the prison responded. becky, this is who fears so much for all these for you

know that i don't know what the the, to the problem the toner has really changed from that to end in this recent response from a post 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, the emergency plan for a relief and that funding was a really and the street of the donald trump's freeze on foreign aid 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 parts offer to really promote a reaction from as the leaders in the country as well. we saw many stores of mineral and petroleum resources with them and asked if calling on africa to united gays prison trends today. that's important. matter to us stekovic, if they don't give us money, let's the minutes. but it is a table i'm is, let's say why with drawing funding. no, we're minute as independent. and there was something that we have one more tests back us. and this all coming less than 2 weeks off depends on the posts assigned to the new rule, making it easier for the state to expropriate, land, subject to force, to see a compensation paid. it is not to see that the government has struggled to fulfill its promise through london. she bade

a buyback program. so he comes to land with the program or rather the government also that for god is pushing a new plans to extend the rate to the re distribution of land. the plan has, of course, important it's show of critics who, who have condemned it as a policy rooted in hostility towards why follow me, which is not true. and right now, the agency really pushing at and try to make it easy for the state to, to take land in an effort to address racially an equal that own. this impact is dating back to a pot. tate and the spice to creep responses from the leaders in the country. the treat has already made some sort of an impact. the countries competency open the day, quite high off to those remarks from prison. trump, which means it has a several investors already. we read a box and performed in the south african country panama won't be renewing its participation in the chinese belt and road initiative. the president of the central

american nation made the announcement following his meeting with the new us secretary of state, marco rubio, a corner of the same board. it done. one important thing, a decision that i made and have already communicated to you. the 2017 memorandum of understanding on the belt and road initiative will not be renewed by my government . we are going to study the possibility of whether it can be finished sooner or not . but i think it is due for renewal in one or 2 years. protestors gathered in panama city to raleigh against the u. s. envoys visit to local unions called for the demonstration in response to donald trump, the front to take back the panama canal. the us head of state climate staging holds too much power over the water raise operations. former panamanian presidential candidate marybell gordon says her country men will not kneel before washington. meanwhile, the u. s. president has gone on a trade war spray after imposing state tariffs on neighboring canada and mexico as

well as china. donald trump has threatened similar moves against long time american allies in europe. you know, we have over 300 cars and we think everything is way out alive. but really out of life. i think that was all right. let's cost live now to change your way. so to, to, and digital reporter and international relations analysts to show it good to have you on the program with us a panama now says it will not renew its deal with the china on the mountain road initiative. a mid these threats from the us president to take them back the panama

canal. um explain to us we're just trying to fit into this equation. okay, thank you're glad i'm here actually from my mattresses trying to store full corporation was panel bodies. the widely opened and i think now we can see how do you as a bully, the problem is that it is. and then 3 other countries sovereignty. everyone knows that the panama city station was made and they use it right. it's not because of the b, r i. e, back to panama has benefits a lot from the be all right. the us has to rate each rate to that may don't because of the countries to pick size between china and the us. but let's look at the reality in the us and the writing in panama sovereignty, and territory, and quite integrity and forcing panama to make a decision which they don't want to. so and to what extent are these aggressive foreign policy moves by the trump administration actually pushing some countries away from the us economy and the us dollar and what are the alternatives? okay, so let's see the reactions. so from the global actually the us global tal risk boys

alert to all countries, especially to us as i lies. as many news, all the lies also lights has stab, that's a foreign leaders have learned anything about the us government. it may be that they are petals as americans, full then as friends. that's why we have seen many countries on now rethinking their ties. we the us government and that's why we have some a rising multiple awards with the rise of the global sales mechanism. likely you will be union and the brakes and china believes at the, at equal and older the multi part of world and universal beneficial and inclusive economic provides ation. so as show aging has been at the receiving end of us. republicans with trump already implementing a 10 percent tariff on chinese and ports. of course we well remember he started the trade war with china during this 1st presidency. but that 10 percent tariff is actually quite a bit smaller than the 25 percent that he's enforcing against canada and mexico.

what do you think the reason for that is to okay, i think uh because i'm not to add to the white house. of course. i don't know the exactly reason, but maybe it's the americans don't mind. so the go station tactics that's from my personal views. the us government, things that's the target for is for their own benefit is, but actually there are 2 main categories are like you had for us government 1st run your countries totally different from run you a company and for us to be have a lot of domestic issues like the rising, you ration, the lack of the infrastructure house care extra. a 2nd. the us has benefits a lot from doing trade with canada, mexico, the european union in china. as we can see, according to the latest, the, as a research from the us national association of home builders, kennedy was actually helping the us to fix the housing crisis. so here was mexican

president said countries do need cooperation, but so cooperation cannot be down by right to me. so i think get the global tar with what is alerts and everyone should be a large for the us. the global target was all right, thank you for analysis to attend digital reporter and international relations analyst send that show way. okay, thank you for having me here. in the global crips, the currency market is suffering. what is said to be a record fall in the past 24 hours an estimated $2000000.00 in trade have been liquidated. some contribute this dropped to donald trump's freshly imposed tariffs on in parts from canada and mexico and china and visit our website or to com for a full breakdown and more the

welcome to across the board. horns were all things are considered on peter level. does trump actually have a plan to end the ukraine conflict? it doesn't appear so also the new administration is actively backing a plan to forcibly displace palestinians. in other words, ethnic cleansing. will trump soon be known as genocide? done to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, george samuel in budapest. he's a pod, castro, at the goggle, which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow we have marks level that he has an international relations and security analyst, or a gentleman cross type roles and the fact that means you can jump any time you want . and i always appreciate it, right, let's kick it off with mark here in moscow. again, it's early days for this administration, but when trump came in even as

a candidate t tao, did that he within the conflict in ukraine. and he's made a number of pronouncements all over the place, at least that's how i see it. and the latest thing is that, um, as part of this process, the trump plan, there has to be elections in ukraine. what's that all about? until in total more? what's going on here? maybe nothing is going on here. what's your thoughts? okay, so over a week ago, donald trump made a post on, on his social media, truth social, where he made what is essentially threats and ultimatums to the russian government. this is the way that he often speaks to the american public right in a populist way with screaming capital letters and demands and whatnot. he called the war ridiculous.
