it's midnight and moscow will come wherever your caching then use our from today, i'm going to need the head to head the tween team from to point though, on washington's bureaucracy is reaching new heights. the white house has moved against the controversial u. s. a. i the agency responsive. busy for financing for an n g o's to promote us interest, the organizations office in the capital has been sealed off on stuffers tool to stay away. that says earlier, us a, i d, 's website went offline and it's ex social media profile. removed more than 600 employees have reportedly been locked out until the agencies computer system and of been newly established department of government efficiency is on most stays. the us agency of international development must be shut down because it's too broken to fix. and yours is a ball of worms. hm. right, there is no apples. and we're still apple this,
4:02 pm
this you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing while spar for the us . a id once one of washington's most feared foreign policy tools. and now, pardon me, in need of age 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 the committee food. hundreds of its employees, helping fire disabilities to defense. funds has been frozen for 90 days. uh. its website was put offline, its twits, a page went dock and now apparently must wants to bury it. so he's really taking his, his new job seriously. the final school seems to have been to him when to members of his cost. cotton team tried to gain access to a part of the agencies headquarters in d. c. 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've got all these room is a corruption,
4:03 pm
even criminality swelling. and the agency really doesn't do anything to debunk these occupations with behavior like this. there we're going to support humanitarian efforts and uh, 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 police calling. it must really is not missing words when he does his discussing. um, usa id, 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 you've been watching on teeth. the last couple of years as relates to us a i d 's involvement in and i'm going to be very generous here. global health
4:04 pm
initiatives. 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 have been denied deny to not most famously inventory and un denied at the pentagon, then it denied defending. yes. okay. we do spawning system robson, ukraine and africa for example. personal for the good of mankind were developing vaccines with ensuring that there's no outbreak of infectious diseases. whereas most was point to something much more sinister. he's saying, but that research was about creating weapons, overall of mass destruction. this is something that must go, has been wanting about 6 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
4:05 pm
passages. which if nice could re total, how the con, the welts. yeah. can you give us some more background here to usa id its 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 it'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 the controversial, it channels funds into civil activism. now it claims, of course it's a lot 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 while government policies don't align with american and trust and co, incidentally way us cash slows. zachary often must protest and sometimes even cruise take place. now the most obvious example of this, it's ukraine, usa,
4:06 pm
i. d had been active, that's the over 2 decades. and it was really culminated in the 2014 my don coupe, 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 a, to a could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected of the ukraine, a mazda before that government is over on victoria new. and you know, the top part of the center piece of the, in the economy of the ology and who is now a high level official. and that the state department has a secret call with the us and passenger, which is tape recorded and is now public, which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets, the u. k. u party. and it really is just the tip of the iceberg. a host of global
4:07 pm
need does 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 sponsoring opposition groups incentives way not. it was actually kicks out of bolivia by ex president morales off the he on carpet. they have been funding set protest groups and some of the nations which just regions lots of lifting, but let's not forget, it was also in public stone 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 the l g b t o ukraine port to just to erupt of saying o connor red produce an incoming last but not least, we have georgia, the american tax payers money cannot be used to organize a revolution in georgia. do you remember the canvas training when representatives
4:08 pm
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, while usa i take pops up very close behind, very often as instability and often violence. becky and pulls the question, what point this coincidence become a person 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 meant when you put your head double up, 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.
4:09 pm
wow. and it is basically a 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 look, usa idea, it's just charitable, but we also need to be realistic. the world of great power politics is not one of self since 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 houses. greatest dreams of shape picks the wild as best suits washington's interest. it isn't all that stops in the office and spread the word around the world. so you chop off the on the power of the office
4:10 pm
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 all. my colleagues southgate taylor on rachel ruble. well, in terms of reaction, we heard that from emmy award winning investigative journalist spence will say it's the only the content. but let's see, all of us the i these global operations should have been called into question much sooner. this is an organization that has operated in the shadows when it's supposed to be an organization that's operating on full transparency. and so like, we know that it's not. and for years, if not decades, there are been american journalists and american citizens who have struggled to get answers as to what you asked the id really does. what is this mission around the world? why does it have such a massive budget and why is there no accountability for what it does around the world? and we heard sen,
4:11 pm
joey finds there who was specifically talking about this issue and said when she has tried in her congressional oversight authority to get an answer from you with a lead, she was threatened by the organization out there. you ask us questions congresswoman out there you ask questions of this organization? we should do whatever we want. sen. let's just delve into one of the big recipients for a moment. ukraine, because a lot of years lensky says he doesn't know where around a $100000000000.00 of us money at went. where did it go? i'm sure american taxpayers would like to know. we have been in this process of this you for a while now. almost 3 years and all this time, zalinski hasn't questioned where the money is, because he knows that the united states has dedicated almost $300000000000.00 to him. there's almost $300000000000.00 us back here, dollars. your cost and only now in the last week, did you come out and say,
4:12 pm
no gosh, i just realized something. we didn't get the money. where did it go? i hope it was. it was the hasn't said anything until this moment, but he doesn't know where the money is, because the truth is, he knows exactly what you create has been. i tried to answer money laundering scheme, and those are as reporters who have covered it for the last 3 years. you will actually told the truth about what's happening. your brain have been trying to tell the world that this is what's going on. it's a huge one. you want to redeem the weapons aren't going to ukraine. they're going all over the world, including into middle eastern, an african countries, which of these stabilize governments there. we know the money is not going there. it's going to defense contractors is going to companies like black rock, they're not going to rebuild ukraine in their own image. that's what's really happening right now as well. that slash old i because key as the main recipient of us, a id grunts since the ukraine conflict. begun is royals by the trump wife causes suspension of for the need and loving their zalinski is the money the money keeps coming in.
4:13 pm
but as you just heard, went off by american journalist where all the cash flow during the binding presidency has gone. it came, most of the reported phones were nowhere to be seen. exactly. trulia by here i'd have heard before. would you mind today we hear from the us on that america gave ukraine hundreds of billions, allow 177000000000 to be precise. this was the exact figure that was supported all voted on by congress and various organizations not look as the president of a war and country. i tell you, we have received more than 75. that is, we never received 100000000000 out of these 177, or even 200 and some people say, this is important to you. i don't know where all that money is. so again, where's the money? well, ukraine has been riddled with corruption since the my don qu, in 2014, when billions in western financial aid poured into t. if the another area for alarm is the black market depends,
4:14 pm
it goes by its own admission, has repeatedly failed to truck weapons sent to ukraine with those arm packages, reportedly flooding into europe and being illegally traded on the peers. a large portion of the dollars allocated for ukraine never made it across the american border, allegedly being redirected to us defense conference while others point just to say, maybe mr. zalinski is being totally honest in saying he doesn't know where the money is with accusations of bulging. fine balance is following him for some time. we discussed it all with former senate, a to joe biden, tara read, and that's a lot of money. now some of the money was actual weapons, so they were given 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,
4:15 pm
and so donald trump's going to be asking some questions about where is that $100000000000.00? so yes, there is money there. so you're talking about defense contractors. you're talking about n g o is that were funded, you know, that were fueled by the democrats. you're talking about, um, you know, politicians that personally benefit lindsey graham. and many of them sit on the boards of some of these weapons when you manufacturer. so they personally benefit, 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 ukrainian oligarchy. 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, she just wants to get as much money as he possibly can before he has to disappear.
4:16 pm
what comes a plump down is impacting much of the globe, including south africa. washington has pledged the quote to cut off all future funding for pretoria over a lot of reform laws that allows the confiscation of white farmers loan sometimes without compensation. so it's out for it as president tells defend it, then you are saying it aligns with the countries constitutional democracy. but the us president isn't convinced 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. one would hope that the president trump would try to understand the facts and the realities of the
4:17 pm
situation in south africa vases and repeating, disturbing racially device of talking points. lucky is right now, but have listened to that. responsible present 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 it 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 off this 112 se,
4:18 pm
go way back into so that because colonial costs, when a small white minority house power one crucial weight. so white government preserved that power was through a native land act, which was a law of the band black people from acquiring agricultural land beyond if the result of the effects of that and the laws could still be solved even to this day. office of africa became a majority, black and government to 9 to 9 to one kind of help. but notice the response from president on my posts of his time being a beat, a rather put muted to compared to how it was between 18 when president trump 1st made such an accurate economy is this is who fears so much of that. i don't know what to do with
4:19 pm
the to the toner has really changed from that to end in this recent response. so i'm gonna pull us as also clarify that american aid is a minor parts off the countries financial landscape. we do know that. so the african is a major beneficiary off of you is funding under the emergency plan for a release, and that funding was a really and the suite of the donald trump's freeze on foreign aid across the country or other across the world. but other than that to the prisons office is, is known 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
4:20 pm
a reaction from the leaders in the country as well. let's move on to us. that is that they don't give us money left the minutes. but it is a table i'm is, let's say why with drawing funding. no, we're minute as independent and devil with something that we have. one more tests back us. and this all coming less than 2 weeks off to present the posts assigned to the new little mid to meet the will the state to expropriate land subject. of course, to save compensation paid for the program or rather be done with also that forgot is pushing a new plan to extend the rates of the redistribution of land. the plan has of course, a phone issue of critics who, who have condemned it as a policy to eat hostility towards why follow me, which is not true. and right now the amc really pushing at and tried to make it easy for the state to, to take a land in an effort to address racially an equal that own this impact is dating
4:21 pm
back to a pocket and the supply. so keep responses from the leaders in the country. the treat has already made some sort of an impact. the country's competency, open the day, quite high off to those who mocks from prison time, which means that it has a several investors already. we bought land reform in the south african country. we asked the spokesman for south africa as foreign minister, crispin perry for his view on this. he rejects trumps analysis of how the countries loved the legislature and more works. we've come out to clarify this to say that as for patient that does not a lead seizure goal, but it's an x that is designed to ensure that expropriation happens within the confines of the south african constitution. unfortunately, does seem as though this was information as readings spread to them. freedom and to some extent has informed what president trump lucian spoke about, the slides up. so if you have a hijacked or
4:22 pm
a building that is behind jacked by coming onto the set top of victoria, and know that this building has become a crime, they don't touch shortly. it would be in the public interest for one states to do something about that building. and in the event that we find that such a building has to be not ended by its own. the state would be entitled to take possession of the property so that it doesn't become a public nuisance. and being seen, for example, incidents with the land restitution change goes into the tune of, of the internet. and in such an instance way we would be required to ensure that the africans who are right the, the owners of such land have the language that you to, to that it would be just about the file for the government. they have to pay a market related price so such and that it would be more equitable to ensure that if required to pay a compensation. and it is just an equitable based on what the public
4:23 pm
requires. and such an inquiry would have to go through a due process, and that is what is best most of the students here, even in the event where it is determined that land can be exposed, creates that avenue compensation. it might not be done without a due process. we put a space president. tom said that this is subject to an investigation that he's a team will be doing. and we think that's a really a good opportunity to start the basis of engagement. this will enable news is of tom suffices to read and understand this a vatican national position once of that week gives a solving form to these programs and the state just ation and then say continue to enable us to then move from a joint understanding of how we address our internal issues, the brutality, like nothing seen before. donald trump's verdict on the goals at conflict. the
4:24 pm
american president also pointed out the renew, assurance is not the recency spar will last i have no assurances that it'll hold. i mean, i've seen people brutalized, i've never, nobody's ever seen anything like it. no, i have no guarantees that the piece is going to hold. we law in the westbank 5 people have been killed including a child, as israel continues, as raids on the area that is according to the post and the health ministry. relatives gathered up a local service treat to see of their loved ones and greeks. the, today we released the bodies from the refrigerators to their families,
4:25 pm
so they could see them before the bearings, the what you may find the following images disturbing as people in your name or in the depths of those kill. these really military continued operations in the west by the latest incursion. the iron will by the idea began nearly 2 weeks ago just after the mouse. israel's ceasefire was agreed. he's really defense forces, say in that time they've eliminated 50 post terrorist in the area of detained, at least a 100 more people. louise, really, army also claims that it's has destroyed 23 buildings as part of the operation saying that those sites, how is militants weapons on supplies? no, i palestinians in northern guys that are struggling to find any medical aid with the
4:26 pm
enclaves, infrastructure mostly and really. okay. only one main hospital out of 3 remains operational and an easy is medical emergency rescue committee. assess victims of war on his body to provide much needed help. the head of the group shared how the medical stuff, or a mazda of many color surfaces, and the best sense in the knots. we have a 3 main post people into not but to hospital is not functioning now the in the nation hospital and they come onto the hospital and one less must with i left the hospital of a loud uh there's supposed to be police now uh type of function as a general hospital, but basically it is the most need to the all major wine hospital. and now the a half of a crowd being situations due to many cases come only to that house. people who have directly faced all of the hospitals in the north, mostly in the nation, has to be found because this has to be though, has a still have an impact on building, but not functioning. i do not have
4:27 pm
a installation that are functioning. so 1st we have to defend the images and department and innovation hospital by doing 24 hour shift. and i prefer to guess patients in the hospital and the generator. the most of the situation is that we have ability to perform presenters, but we cannot find the device that supports the presenters. but we know that we have so many cases that need that kind of complex procedures. and of course, we know that the supply of the medical items is not allowed to enter guys freely. and that make these situations and coming was owned as of now have so many different prices of the genocide that happened
4:28 pm
more than one. yes. and all people in guys a need, a, a fairly complex iphones to support their lives. and the main thing now after that says fire is the open widely, the logistics support to enter the guys a know every time a question is raised in washington about u. s. biological warfare activities in asia, not for kathy stocked responses, one of ridicule, but independent journalist continued they say to a mazda, evidence of such covert actions. next, one of those very reporter shares her findings with all the
4:29 pm
the chess willis. i am the, nobody's telling me that a humorous item built. this was the 4 digits of yellow, but i thought you still there about some of the, from the umbrella dealer. so within the what it says, this woman hides her face and identity because of the nature of her job special she's been working for almost a year and a team gathering evidence on the existence of sync with us labs in ukraine. the russian interior ministry suspects that we use to test biological weapons. put the 1st step is that then they saying that she's the real quick. it was say,
4:30 pm
we shift anybody from the have to escalate to expedite didn't exceed the shape of the human. she lives up before the ukraine army reduces them stuff, trying to remove all materials and documents, but they filed the new you sent the record is not available to choose between users. so it looks like you called at the to the cause of whom in a number of words. so for all the he, one word court, just spin each just go way still doing you. in the event, the investigators found evidence of operations with deadly viruses and paper with a test on a name patients. it's on known how many similar centers have been established in ukraine over the past 8 years. the russian ministry found signs of them in almost all liberated major settlements from which they are safe.
