[000:00:00;00] the, the style for his art selling the office field offices, us see id, agency known for promoting washington's interests abroad. so using financial incentives, feels the heat from the new trump administration. that's as lot of years landscape claims. he has no idea where most of the money sent by the, by the government for ukraine has gone of a suspension of for an a 5 at trump white house. he says that the officials in cab, very nervous indeed and sought out for gas firmly this mrs. donald trump's threats to cut off funding to pretoria while defending its new loved expropriation knock. that's all the head this things are

the good to have your company for then use drop. my name's utility. 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 the agency responsible for financing foreign and used to promote us interest across the globe. now the state department has no confirmed review of its foreign assistance activities on a potential quote, re organization of us a id market. rubio saves there must be more control on spending. i'm the action director of usa, i. d, i've celebrated that authority to someone that i stay in touch with him. and again, our goal was to go in and aligned our form to the national well,

the organizations office in the capital has been sealed. all fun stuff is told to stay away. that's as earlier usa i these websites 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 the 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. on your side the is a ball of one's right. there is no apple and there is no apple this, this you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing while spar for the us . a id, one's one of washington's most fade 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, fits maybe 4 hundreds of its employees,

helping fire disabilities to defend funds has been frozen for 90 days. it's website was put offline, it's towards the page went dark and now apparently most wants to bury it. us and he's really taking his, his new job seriously. the final school seems to have been to him when 2 members of his cost cotton 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 the bunk. seems like she's ations with behavior like this. there were going to support humanitarian efforts and, and 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 gwinnett. it much 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 he'd been watching on 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 it has been did not deny, deny most famously but tore in un, denied it dependent to good that and it denied the thing. yes. okay, we do split system lives in ukraine and africa, for example,

personal for the good of mankind. we're developing vaccines with ensuring that there's no outbreak over infectious diseases. whereas most was point to something much more fitness stuff. he's saying, but that research was about creating weapons, overall 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, t usa, i d, 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 going to budget of $9050000000000.00. basically it hands out money so it dissolves to release of fighting poverty. but also,

and this is where it gets controversial, it travels 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 way us cash slayers, zachary often must protest and sometimes even cruise 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 a to a could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected of the ukraine a most 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 and the state department as a secret call with the 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. 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, sponsoring position groups incentives. way not. it was actually kicks out to bolivia by ex president morales of the 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 when the agencies burning the torres heads about the powers visited budapest, hungary. this of course is a europe in nation which does not tow the line. we know one issues like the l g, b, t or ukraine, point to just to erupt of saying o connor resolution incoming. last but not least, we had georgia, 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 the stabilize 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 instability and often violence. becky: of course the question, i won't point this, coincidence become a passing out of what point does a pass and 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 i'm, but you've gotten your had delta 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 n more than the state department. 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 no to say i do, 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 id is a know ms. 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 streams of shape. pick 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 ph office diminishes. thought 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 all the recent controversy us a i d found itself and was the d port taishan of several employees from zimbabwe. last march. there are a government accused them of entering the country with proper care and something

washington denies. and who links on desktops and meetings with opposition. politicians on foreign diplomats, nigerian investigative reporter david one day. and believe such actions are common place for the and bustled agency in question. and none of this is like fit fuzzy information visits we saw in some uses itself. it's, it's, it's works with civil society that says, lots of political, that service works. and even on the dances all around the world, including countries that don't have a set of who's political vision is not necessarily outlined that a fee to us. i'm guessing, i think goes back on this guys the by the to on the board. tends to do. i'm actually hours on a whole, you know, some, some sylvester activities in there. it works with the political positions, people altering with rebels, groups works way as the always the, you know, what though that's best, that hostile civil society. i just basically,

whatever is useful to the interests of the rest of governments, the works with best, whether or not to the governments or the place that i agree. so that's why, for instance, you so that essentially 5 eights software into of countries around the world in the industry. so one issue, once a few, on an ancient people side is the interest of, you know, us instead of just in the future around the world. the american emmy award winning investigative journalist, been sworn and say that 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 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, julie bonds there who was specifically talking about this issue and said, when she has tried in her congressional oversight authority to get an answer from us. i the 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 the 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 in your cause and the only now in the last week did you come out and say, you know guys, i just realized something. we didn't get the money. where did it go out? it was, it was, he 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, can take money laundering scheme. and those are as reporters who have covered it for the last 3 years, who will actually told the truth about what's happening, your brain? i've been trying to tell the world that this is what's going on. it's a huge money laundering scheme that the weapons aren't going to ukraine. they're going all over the world, including to 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 that are not going to rebuild ukraine in their own image. that's what's really happening right now. well, that's flashed out though, because p as the main recipient of us see id ground. since the ukraine conflict

begun is riled by the trump white. hi. say suspension of foreign aid on nothing. there's a lensky is demanding, the money keeps coming in. but when off there, what flow during the, by the present say, where are the cash is gone? he can most of it never arrived. exactly chew you buy here. i'd 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 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. 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 financial aid has poured into

a key of and much of it is alleged to help being siphoned off another area for alarm. the block market depends on it by its own admission, has repeatedly failed. a truck weapon 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 read, 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. without these ations of bulging bank balances following him for some time. we discussed it all with former senate, a 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 you crank 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? 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, you know, politicians that personally benefit lindsey graham. many of them sit on the boards of some of these weapons when you've manufacturers, 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 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 he just wants to get as much money as he possibly can before he has to disappear me while washington has pledged a quote, cut off or future funding for. so i thought for a guy, it's over a lot of reform, move that along as the confiscation of white farmers lunch. sometimes with side compensation, the nations president has defended the new ok saying it aligns with south africa's 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 present time for would try to understand the facts and the realities of the situation in south africa vases and repeating, disturbing, racially divisive talking points like he is right now. but have listened to that responsible 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 to solve this 112 se, go way back into so that because colonial costs, when a small white 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 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 tonight and until one can help. but notice the response from president on my posts of this time being a beat, a rather a put muted to, compared to how it was between 18 when president trump 1st made such an accurate economy is this is for years so much for

all these for 0 that i don't know what to do with the, to the toner has really changed from that to end in this recent response. so i'm gonna pull us as also carry 5. that's american aid is a minor parts off the countries financial landscape. we do know that said africa is a major beneficiary off. you is funding under the emergency plan for a relief and that funding was a really and the street off the donald trump's freeze on foreign aid across the country or other across the world. but other than that, to the prisons office, his 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 a reaction from the leaders in the country as well as the to us. spec is that they don't give us money the minutes. but it is a day go, i'm is like say why withdrawing funding? no, we're ministers in the continent and never with something that we have one, not just back us. and this all coming less than 2 weeks off to present the posts assigned to the new rules made to meet the zip for the state to expropriate, land. subject of course, to see a 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 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 the racially an equal that own this pattern is dating back to a potted and the spice. so creep responses from the leaders in the country, the treat has already made some sort of an impact. the countries come and see open the day quite high of to those remarks from present time, which means that it has a several investors already. we bought land reform in the south african country where we spokesman for us. so i thought for guess, foreign minister crispin piri, for his view, he rejects president from some knowledge sense of the country's new landlord. and in fact, claim that small over to you, we've come out to clarify this to say that as for patient that does not a leg caesar go, but it's an x that is designed to ensure that expropriation happens within the 1st of the so that we can constitution, unfortunately, it does seem as though this was information as readings spread to that i'm feeling

and to some extent has informed what president trump lucian 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 know that this building has become a crime deep joy. would it be in the public interest for one, 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 change goes into the tune of a, b, u and rec evans such an instance way we would be required to ensure that, that africans who i ride the, the oldness of assessments have the language to, to, to to that, it would be just about the file for the government. they have to pay

a market related price. so such as 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 requires and such an inquiry would have to go through a due process. and that is what is perhaps most of the students here, even in the event where it is determined that the land can be exposed, created avenue of compensation. it cannot be done without a due process be put in place. president tom said that this is subject to an investigation that he's a team will be to wait. and we think that's a really a good opportunity to start the basis of engagement. this will enable this is of tom's advisors to read and understand this last week in a national position. once of that week gives us solving for to these programs. and this, they just ation and then say continue to enable us to be moved from

a joint understanding of how we address our internal issues. brutality, like nothing seemed 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 guarantees that the patient is going to hold. meanwhile, in the west bank, 5, people have been killed including a child. now it's israel continues, it's rage on the area that's according to the policy and health ministry. relatives gathered to a local cemetery to see off their loved ones on grief. following these strikes

the, the on demand. today we released the bodies from the refrigerators to their families, so they could see them before the bearings, the police, the warrant. you may find the following images disturbing as people in jeanine more in 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 working these really army also reported it destroyed 23 buildings as part of the operation, claiming those sites house, militants, weapons,

and supplies. well, i'll list indians in northern gals, i will assure you, best to their strongly defined any medical aid with the enclaves, infrastructure mostly in rooms on the wall. the main hospitalized of 3 remains. operational in the easy is medical emergency rescue committee. mercy, assist victims of more on has value to provide much needed help. the head of the group shared how the medical software could also find that goal surfaces are not breast sense in the knots. we have a 3 main hospital in the notes, but to hospital is not functioning now the in the nation hospital and the come onto a hospital and one less must be punished to a let's cuz i'll, i'll, i'll, i will get this. i'll spell is now a trifle function as a general hospital, but basically it is the most need to the all means you wine hospital and now the

a half of a crowd being situations due to many cases comm, only to get house people will have to rectify all of the hosp, both in the not mostly in the nation has to be found because this has to be though, has of still have an impact on building but not functioning. do not have a installation that are functioning. so 1st we have to represent the images in department and innovation hospital by doing the 24 hour shift. and i prefer to guess patients in the hospital and digital rather than most of the situation is that we have the ability to perform presenters, but we cannot find the devices that support 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 make these situations and coming was all. and as of now, i have so many different prices of the genocide that happened more than once, years and all people in guys a need a fairly complex items to support their lives. and the main thing now after that says fire is the open widely, the logistics support to answer. and the guy said, well that brings us to the end of this news roundup. but the stories keep flowing over on or x page to give us a follow on. we'll make sure you're kept in the note goodbye the
