5:01 pm
good to have your company for the news drop my names. you literally let's get in to our top story. the head to head between team trump to point to and washington is bureaucracy, is hitting new heights. the white house has moved against the controversial u. s. a. i d. agency, responsible for financing foreign, and deals to promote us and trust across the globe. not the state department has no confirmed review of its foreign assistance activities on a potential quote re organization of us a id market. rubio sage, there must be more control on spending. i'm the acting director of usa, i. d, i've, i've celebrated that authority to someone that i stay in touch with him. and again, our goal was to go in and aligns our form to the national well, the organizations office in the capital has been sealed all fund stoffers told to
5:02 pm
stay away. that's as earlier usa i these web site went offline. now that's ex social media profile. removed within $600.00 employees have reportedly being locked out. so the agencies, computer system had all been newly established department of government deficiency is on most stays. the us agency of international development must be shut down because it's too broken to fix. and your savvy is a ball of lumps. there, there is no apple and there is no apple this, this you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing falls apart for the 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 read has been building ever since trump took off fits maybe food. hundreds of its employees helping fire disabilities to defend funds has been frozen for 90 days. it's website was put offline. it's
5:03 pm
towards the page. when all cannot, 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 cutting team tried to gain access to a part of the agencies 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 criminology swelling and the agency really doesn't do anything to debunk. seems like she's ations 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
5:04 pm
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 missing 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 all teeth the last couple of years. it relates to us a i d 's involvement in, and i'm going to be very generous here. global health 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 has been denied, deny to not most famously but tore newton's denied it dependent to good that it denied defend yes. okay. we do spawning system lives in ukraine and africa for example. personal for the good of mankind were developing vaccines with ensuring
5:05 pm
that there is 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 most ago 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 pathogens. which if nice could re total, how the con, the welts. yeah. can you give us some more background here to usa idea. 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. um basically it hands out money so it does offer release of fighting poverty. but also, and this is where it gets the controversial,
5:06 pm
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 i d choose is to empower people in nations. what government policies don't align with american and trust and co, incidentally, why us cash slows very often most protests and sometimes even cruise take place. now the most obvious example of this, it's ukraine, u. s. 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 a to a could
5:07 pm
a talk against the 1st elect, democratically electric. i'm of the ukraine a month before that comment is over on victoria new and 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 in 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. all her still 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 of position groups incentives. way not. it was actually kicks out of bolivia by ex president morales up to he on carpet. they had been funding set protest groups and some of the nations which just regions lots of listing. but let's not forget,
5:08 pm
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 o ukraine point to just to erupt in saying o connor revenues an incoming last but not least we had to which american tax payers money cannot be used to organize a revenue sion 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 impulse, the question,
5:09 pm
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 going, i'm going to put in your head dump of that put triplet times that 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 look, usa idea, it's just charitable, but we also need to be realistic. the world of great power point,
5:10 pm
a 6 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 id is a normal budget, is a reflection supposed to be the greatest reflection of the senate for role that it has played in manifesting some of the white house's greatest dreams of shape. pick the wild as best suits washington's interest. it isn't all that stops 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 in ok. well, delving into own recent controversy, us a id found itself and was the d port taishan of several employees from zimbabwe. last march, the her right government accused them of entering the country with the proper tear . and some thing,
5:11 pm
washington denies. and who links on dest stein meetings with opposition? politicians on foreign diplomats, nigerian investigative reporter, and david hyundai, and believe such actions are common place for the in buffalo agency in question. none of this is like the pods information visits we saw on some uses itself. it's, it's, it's works with civil society that says, lots of political, that service works, even on the dances all around the world. including countries that don't have a set of who's political vision is not necessarily aligned that of course, i guess as it goes back on to this guys by the terry, i'm going to institute, i'm actually hours on a whole, you know, some, some sylvester activities in there it works with the political positions. people want to wait, rebel groups works way as the always the you know, what though that's best that hostile assume society. i just basically whatever is
5:12 pm
useful to the interests of the rest of the works with. that's where the nazi governments are that place that i agree, so that's why it gets into so that essentially 5 beats software into of countries around the world in the industry. so one in the matter of once a few on the light side is the interest for us instead of just around the world. but american emmy award winning investigative journalist, been sworn and said they documented all the accountability of us i, these global operations should have been calls 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 us the id really does. what is its mission around the world?
5:13 pm
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, joey finds there who was specifically talking about this issue and said when she is tried in her congressional oversight authority to get an answer from you with a id, 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 haven't 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 is dedicated almost $300000000.00 to him. there's almost 300000000000 us back here. dollars that day into your cause and only
5:14 pm
now in the last week, did you come out and say, 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 great has been. i tried cantered 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. you brain have been trying to tell the world, and this is what's going on. it's a huge money laundering. steam. 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. they're, 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 though because p as the main recipient of us c id ground. since the ukraine conflict begun is riled by the trump white. hi. say suspension of foreign aid on nothing. there's
5:15 pm
a lensky is demanding. the money keeps coming in, but when off there, uh what flo during the, by the presidency where the cache is gone, he couldn't most of it never arrived. exactly to you 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 a 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 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. i don't know where all that money is. so again, where's the money corruption and ukraine is one possible answer since the my down to in 2014 billions in western and financial aid has poured into keys and much of
5:16 pm
it is alleged to help being siphoned off another area for alarm. the black market depends, it goes by its own admission, has repeatedly failed to truck weapons sent to ukraine with those arms packages reportedly floating into europe and being illegally traded. and it appears a large portion of the dollars allocated for ukraine. never even made it across the american border, allegedly, being re directed to us defense coffers. what others point i maybe mr. zalinski isn't being totally honest and saying he doesn't know where the money is. with accusations of bulging bank balances following him for some time. we discussed it all with former send today to joe biden, tara read, that's a lot of money. now. some of the money was actual weapons, so they were given the weapons, but even those weapons were gone. and we've done stories about talking about how, where are those weapons they didn't make it to crate, 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.
5:17 pm
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? 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've 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,
5:18 pm
she just wants to get as much money as he possibly can before he has to disappear me while washington has pledged to quote, cut off all future funding for south africa. it's over a lot of reform, more about a long as the confiscation of white farmers lun. sometimes with side compensation, the nations president has defended the new act saying it aligns with south africa is constitutional democracy. but the u. s. 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
5:19 pm
present time for would try to understand the facts and the realities of the situation. in south africa, ross is and repeating, disturbing racially device of talking points like it is right now. but having to send to that's responsible to present on a post 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
5:20 pm
a better and common understanding over these matters. so who's off this 112 se, go way back into so that because colonial costs, when a small, why to minority health 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 se, 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 tonight and and for one can help. but notice the response from president on my posts at this time being a beat, a rather put muted to compare to how it was between 18 when president trump 1st made such an accurate comments. this is too much for all these for you know that i don't know what to do with
5:21 pm
the the what is the problem, the toner has really changed from that to end in this recent response that i'm a pull, us has also clarified that american aid is a minor part of the country's financial landscape. we do know that that africa is a major beneficiary off. 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 says there is no other significant funding that is provided by the united states in south africa. and i guess the funding part to offer to
5:22 pm
really promote a reaction from the leaders in the country as well as the mirror to us. that is that if they don't give us money less the minutes. but it is a data allow me to say, why withdrawing funding? no, we're minute as independent and level where something that we have. well, not us back us. and this all coming less than 2 weeks off to present the posts assigned to the new rule, making it easier for the state to expropriate, land subject, of course, to save compensation paid for the program or rather, the government 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 rooted in hospitality towards why 5 minutes is not true. and right now the amc really pushing at and try to make it easy for the state to, to take a land in an effort to address racially an equal that own this impact as dating
5:23 pm
back to populate and the supply. so keep 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 stuff, those remarks on present time, which means that it has a several investors already. we are we a bought land reform in the south african country where we a spokesman for us, so it's not for goes for in the minister crispin piri for his view. he rejects president trump's analysis of the country's new landlord. and in fact, claim that small over to you and we've come out to clarify this to say that as for patient that does not a lead seizure model. but it's an x that is designed to ensure that expropriation happens within the confines of the so that we can constitution. unfortunately, it does seem as though this was information as readings spread to them and to some
5:24 pm
extent has informed what president trump pollution spoke about. the uh, for example, if you have a high tech or a building that is behind jacked by criminals, invested in top of victoria. and would know that this building has become a crime. don't touch shortly. would it be in the public interest for why the states to do something about that building? and in the event that we find that such a building has been up 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 where the land restitution pays goes into the tune of a, b u in rec. and in such a instance way we would be required to ensure that, that africans who are right the, the oldest of assessments have the language to, to, to, to that it would be just about the file for the government to have to pay a market related price. so such and that it would be more equitable to ensure that
5:25 pm
if required to pay a compensation and it is just an equitable based on what the public requires and such an inquiry would have to go through a due process. and that is what is perhaps most was the students here, even in the event where it is determined that lag can be exposed, created avenue compensation. it cannot be done without a due process, be putting space based on time 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 a phase of time suffices to read and understand this last week in the national position one. so that gives us solving for, to these programs and the stages nation. and then say, continue to enable us to be removed from a joint understanding of how we address our internal issues, the brutality,
5:26 pm
like nothing seem before double trumps verdict on the gals that conflict. the american president also pointed out, it's not a given that the recent cease fire, the ongoing one will last i, i have no assurances that it will hold. i mean, i've seen people brutalized, i've never, nobody's ever seen anything like and no, i have no guarantee use that. the piece is going to hold that. meanwhile, in the west bank, 5, people have been killed including a child. that's israel continues at the rates on the area that's according to the publicity and health industry. relatives gathered to a local cemetery to see off their loved ones on grief. following these strikes, the
5:27 pm
normally demand. today we released the bodies from the refrigerators to their families. so they could see them before the bearings, the police, the warranty may find the following. images disturbing as people in jeanine warn the depths of those killed. these really military continued operations across the west of the latest incursions of the iron won't mind. the idea began nearly 2 weeks ago, not just after the from us israel's expire was agreed upon. these really defense forces say in the time they have eliminated 50 quote, terrace, detained at least a 100. what these really aren't. they also reported it destroyed $23.00 buildings as part of the operation, claiming those sites. how is militants, weapons, and supplies? well, less than ends in northern gals, i will assure you,
5:28 pm
