cynicism exists, the militants and the d. r condo offer a humanitarian cease fire in the wake of devastating of battles for acute cities in the central african nation. also ahead, there are some of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money on. 47000 for a transgender opera in columbia. 32000 for a transgender comic book in peru. as the white house cracks down on usa id, we look at how the infamous agency has been spending billions to so pay us around the world under the guise of humanitarian health. and the china has washington with retaliatory tear of minutes after us levies on chinese goods come into effect

. as the trade disputes between the world's top economies enters a new stage, the time rachel ruble live in the russian capital. you're watching archie international . we begin in central africa where a humanitarian crisis in the democratic republic of the congo is escalating, following devastating classes between government forces and the m 23 militant group . a warning the following images are distressing. the burning bodies were seen on the streets of goma city, which has been captured by the m 23. according to the united nations, at least 900 people have been killed and almost 2900 injured in goma. somebody or c officials say the number of victims could be much higher, but the un states hospitals in the city of them are working at maximum capacity,

trying to help the wounded as well as patients suffering from endemic diseases. the world health organization has reported numerous shelling of medical facilities and the crisis is exacerbated by a lack of clean water and power outages. doctors and government are speaking out about the emergency dentist do is get the we have a civil receive, so on these. and then uh we are very of flowed. so then we have seen that people come here to the 5th and somebody died suddenly on the wait last week to ask you on it. the situation is not good because there are a lot of injured people and they need help. they need assistance and support. that's all i can say. many people were injured and you see they keep coming. the hospital is so crowded, we need support the wounded. keep arriving, we do everything we can to take care of the need of the, the, the so name to congo river alliance of militants,

led by the m 23 group has announced a unilateral humanitarian, the cease fire. the or congo officials have not yet responded to the move to be alliance, flu of congo, a i a c, m 23 here by informs the public that in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the contrasts origin. it declares a ceasefire starting february, 4th 2025, for humanitarian reasons. we urge southern african development community emission in the d r. c to withdraw its forces from the d r. c. as we have repeatedly stated that their mission is no longer justified. all the m 23 fighters having dictated a ceasefire. you have to sort of pave the way for dine, no, but most importantly they have side to, to retain concerns. that's and also when coming in, after several days, a fighting between the government forces advocate between the city and the case of the regional, the d. c. it might be to 80 to say debris to in the, to the didn't. because remember,

the in between the city essentially is doing this on his own, or it's not even putting out which is not driven altitude combat. so they may lie a say to over optimism. but in the off the flight to urge the static missing in the seats to would vote for. and one can stop thinking of the timing of the c sly. and also we, because present the pull senses to yesterday said, members of the south african national defense force deployed in the region as part of that 2nd mission and missed school. and that's, that's because to station in the east and jesse would only be majority was a ceasefire, has been released along with some confident reading. one some stuff. but oscar could be empty to city. be doing this just to get the status of mission out of the region at this point to no one knows, but haven't listened to present on my post a statement. as a country, we have a duty of support towards the nations of africa whose solidarity and material

support help secure our liberation. south africa will not let up in its support to the people of the d r c, so that they may have the peace and security they rightfully deserve. and this, the toy meant to follow the approval by the southern african development communities in response to the details of ratings security situation. in eastern d, i see this all that for to national defense force is leading the mission because of a mandates to support the d. c, a member of the 60 members, set a group in the store in peace and security and stability. so the fact that the mandate states that it is to support the government in combat to opt groups of best suite 2 pieces of security in the eastern seats might insist, implies that this is not a pcp missing. and that's why in that, in between the 3 offer the 5 to say they have repeatedly stated that the mission is no longer justified in the region. but exploits and government officials will need

to explain this to us in greater detail, but also shocking to see. and she a, as a recent is polk, i've gotten a spokesperson seeming to a to so last week off having at the motives for being in the d. c, in fact macola sees so that's a good stuff needs to tell his people the truth about the personal interest in mining that pretoria has. in the d. c. have a listen to this. the south africans deserve to know the truth. you are not supporting the people of d all see to achieve peace. you are sending your troops to fight president. she said katy's will to kill his own people. and this kind of statement only makes the congolese president more intransigent while the suffering continues. please tell your people the truth about the personal interest in mining that you have in the deal. see, these are the interests for which sadly signed the f soldiers dying. the spokesperson

seems to know more than what we'll do, but at the stage, even if a deal is done, the posted issues ranging from ethnic rivalries and the conflict over land and minerals a week. and that's who admitted by more powerful neighbors. this must be tackled to break the cycles of fine, and this is the congo. and as it stands over 700 people have killed a list that a week of fighting the d. c. m. 23 had initially filed to most of the capital, gets us off to the cap, to remove of go math. the fight to seemed likely to seize more to between eastern d c and even push for the into the country. but citizens are not happy with that. i'd love to have a listen to this, and so really we came to show our discontent and say no to the enemy's advance, no, to the advance of them. 23 noted the adf, and yes, to piece slot. did this demonstration is a strong signal to the international community under lawanda. we participated in this demonstration to support our armed forces and warned the rwandan forces,

who were trying to destabilize our country through the eastern part, particularly in the north keeble, a tory provinces. and just before that announcement, to add, as those cases were mounting dfcs, president's phillips certificate and his government urging the international community to impose sanctions on the civilized vote and confirmed the condemned to his actions. and despite to the international court, or as the least, that's one of the supports to enter the city fighters. and that's a $1.00 to $2.00. so i assisting in this conflict prism cannot misstate exist the city in immediate interview that he does not know if they are in the other one. did . 16 congo. see being told to the i'm the, we about the presence of a one to 2 in the d. c. also neighboring countries are trying to get the 2 countries to negotiate. the latest summits is being organized by z a to me in the space of the community office applicant. it is not the 1st time that actually can

countries and try to bring, cuz i'm anticipated to give that need is to have been a lo so i previous thoughts attempting to broke a piece between the 2 sides of the ac. organize if a tool summits on the situation just last week, which to security did not attend the set of countries with a peacekeeping mission in the east of the country. also mit last week of the dsp. he's a member of the organization with the one that is not so hopefully this intervention, this time around will yield some positive results for the white house is over hauling and then a tori s usa id that's known for sponsoring multiple resume change programs in other countries since it's formation and 1961, the head of president trump's government efficiency along mosque claims the grant making agency will be shut down for now. secretary of state, marco rubio has assumed the control over the beleaguered organization. what she says has been failing to serve us national interest. i am the acting director of

usa i. d, i've, i've delegated that authority to someone, but i stay in touch with him. and again, our goal was to go in and align our foreign aid to the national interest. there are a lot of functions of usa id that are going to continue to are going to be part of american foreign policy. but it has to be aligned with american foreign policy. the attitude, the usa idea is adopted over the years is know, we are independent of the national interest. we fund programs, irrespective of whether it's aligned or not aligned with the foreign policy. that's ridiculous, is a tax payer dollars, you look at the waste and abuse that has run through usa id over the past several years. these are some of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money on. $1500000.00 to advance the at the d. i in serbia's workplaces. 70000 for production of a d. i musical and ireland. 47000 for a transgender opera in columbia. 32000 for

a transgender comic book in peru. i don't know about you, but as an american taxpayer, i don't want my dollars going towards this crap. and i know the american people don't either, and that's exactly what you on must, has been passed by president trump, to do, to get the fraud waste and abuse out of our federal government to mid the bureaucratic re shuffling the agencies office in washington dc has been sealed off and staff was told to keep out. well, that's for you and say i, these website and social media channels were taken down. more than $600.00 employees have for portal. they've been locked out of the agencies computer system are to correspondence has to be a tailored those into the murky history of usa ideas for and modeling behind the scenes as an old hand and the biggest play in the game, usa i, they really should have seen it coming, how often movies, decades, could they not have smelt a president shutting down here? is that the, the, the reason is that as opposed to simply because, you know,

trying to do and do some minor house cleaning is, is that again sir, usa usa id, it became apparent that when we have here is, is not an apple was a woman. but we have actually just a bowl of ones. and so it's as a point which you don't really like for you to go to an apple is go to it, it may even take them out. but if you could actually just a ball of ones, it's as hopeless and you're savvy as a bowl of words. mm hm. right? there is no apple. and we're still apple does this, you just gotta basically get rid of the whole thing. nothing but a crop with the gang of criminals, apparently spread thing on types pass. honda and cash samantha powers a. she had a worthy goal, although it was a stupid goal. she said she was hoping to get the amount of for an age us $8.00 that and go to actual aid up to $0.30 on the dollar from $0.10 on the dollar. that's a major problem that we had this agency that that's all that goes abroad. i think your time american workers dollar. i think now you're talking about the,

the usa id at that age. yes. yes. you had. right. oh us a i days always to $15000000000.00 annual budget. it's estimated that early 10 to 30 percent of it actually goes on aid. so what about the rest? well, has a hit washington beloved agency employees, a lot of regime change in foods? yes. so by club, for our preschools, and old things who's starting close to home in america's back yard. if you happen to be in cuba, in the mid to thousands, for example, maybe you attempted to sign up to the local flash and of puts up spots, surprise, surprise, as soon as i knew it wasn't no cool. it was a usa, i d, lead co, federal peroration, the goal to dangle political messages in front of the cuban. you've got some wild up, get them onto the streets on top of castro puts,

let's make it seem pro through send cannick. that will be absolutely no mention of united states government involvement. this is absolutely crucial for the long term success of the service and to ensure the success of the mission, which is strange because that website pulls that on for lots about transparency and carlo they were running another project on the car, been island. this one off line documents and interviews make clear that the program was aimed at recruiting a younger generation of opponents to cuba. castro government documents prepared for the us a id sponsored program called the h. i the workshop, the perfect excuse to conduct political activity. yes, usa, i do think the offering health services to slip around and downtown some potential spies, fingers crossed and store them on, on the inside, just like they installed quite, quite low over in practice. you know, the, the mine who was briefly considered venezuela's,

president by everyone about the venezuelans themselves, a $128000000.00. well spent. in addition, usa id has committed $128000000.00 to support the venezuelan human rights defenders civil society organizations, independent media and elect oral oversight. when the material regime is gone, the funding will support the recovery efforts led by a democratically elected venezuelan administration. well, last few 1000000 on a few months of spontaneous protest slates. uh nicholas madura was still. busy in office, so the dc leads to the day the grants. but the person that you recognize as the leader of democratic leader in minnesota is not here. what do you think about themselves or how long will here?

by whom long way though, the, the answering precedent, the venezuela that you recognize quite a bit farther south usa, our day was also called red handed supporting set protests and blyth is east region . i'm sure it's a coincidence. but santa cruz is very, very results rich. all the highlights and sold georgia better us because it's don syria, the solomon islands, and the recipients of generous usa i. d. gifts. and then woke, spied financing and dependency with governments laughed too badly, clinging on to power. but hey, maybe that's just a coincidence. then that was you crate usa id, which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots, those riots lead to the a to a could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected of the ukraine

a month before that comment is over on victoria new and was, you know, the part of the center piece of the economy audiology and who is now a high level official in the state department, as a secret call with the u as 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 you okay, the good news here though is the agency is reading it to accounts every single time . the other one is my efforts. and this began years ago when we were trying to figure out what they were doing with our american taxpayer dollars. there were going to support humanitarian efforts and, and ukraine. so i wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent. and i know there's a reasonable request. yes. oh my gosh,

and i share this with you earlier alon um, just privately, but we've got all kinds of threats from usa id because i was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in congress. so the best it's shocking. i mean, is it? oh, how i mean, obviously it's, it's outrages that a tax payer funded organization would threaten us senator, who's simply trying to figure out if the merits and tax per money is being spent correctly. and unfortunately, yes, but for one thing on rest and toppling need is, isn't usa i days only bread and butter problems. recent phrasal star named for 90 days has left 90 percent of ukrainian media risk upcoming dog. because yes, the agency is big on sponsoring independent journalism. and the child is proud to

solve the o. c. c op a. not unless investigative organizations finding 6 continents with a team, but just one of the whole power in check. except interestingly, you don't get many dives into us corruption because that wouldn't be cutting off the hand that feeds that and how that sometimes gives it a spare pull to that end up bringing about real change. you know, i think as donors have realized, this is really important. this is having impact. we've probably been responsible for about 5 or 6 countries changing over from one government to another government . so, you know, because and getting, you know, of, and people, you know, prime ministers indicted or thrown out. that's the most important investigative reporting organization you've never heard of. so as las hand tightens that square from the fragments of us. so, so pointed going to in

a freedom and justice how i want it, that every now democracy can finally freeze for the china has hit back at washington with retaliatory terrace within minutes of us levies on chinese products coming into effect. they jane has brand of the us move a threat to global markets in order to defend its legitimate rights and interest. china has sued the us taxation measures to the world trade organization, dispute settlement mechanism. the united states has imposed tariffs on chinese imports, which is a serious violation of w t o. rules and has a bad nature. it is a typical unilateralists and trade protectionist approach which seriously harms the rules based multilateral trading system. destroys the foundation of economic and trade cooperation between china and the united states, and, disturbs the stability of the global industrial chain. the new tariffs include the

sweeping restrictions on a number of rare metal exports crucial to defense, clean energy, and other industries. china also promised to implement additional duties on energy, agriculture and large engine vehicles. imported from the u. s. the tit for tat move response to the trump administrations 10 percent across the board level on chinese imports and marks the new stage. and the longstanding trade dispute between the world's top economies with the risk exchange of sanctions. china is also announced a range of measures targeting us businesses including google. alright, let's get more on this from cd 10 to the world porter and the international relations analyst, sion sure way, who joins us from badging. so way, take us to the details of bad things. response to washington's terrified on imports from china. all right, thank you for having me here at the, from my observation to major responses. shelby notate one is that the china william

post hargrove's own. so thank and for that goose is specially energy products from the us effective february 10th. that is from the customs tal risk commission of china's state council. actually into toes a 10 or 15 percent target will be applied to to us co and our in g. we've a 10 percent of the target will be imposed on oil, agriculture, machinery, largest use of payment to be coast and pickup trucks. the other response is from chinese ministry of commerce. charnise filed a complaint with the world trade organization, w t o to defend a selected mix of rights. after that, you guys had announced our additional 10 percent the target on vitamins changed products as your way. while the trump white house to swap the 10 percent tariffs on china badging responded with 10 to 15 percent lobbies on imports of us commodities . so explain to us a reasoning behind us. reciprocal move with some a little bit extra on top. well actually the china is the approach and dealing with

the us tal risk, right is bows. richard, you can buy insurance by targeting us. the energy was power. if it shows a clear understanding, you update and i'll make dynamics. i'd like bedding compounds with the w t o is responsible and a rule of binding move, demonstrating china's commitments to the international trade older. that is why the spokes person to follow the trans embassy in the us that today that shawna has taken necessary content measures in accordance with relevance moves and regulations . and to the basic, the principal opens national, which i'll complete a just speed 5 and reasonable and how our international markets responding to the slightest trade war between the world's biggest economic powers. because certainly based on problems. first of the term, um, people who knew this was probably going to happen. but i think that we should look at a bigger picture on us. global target was and is not only targeting china,

but many countries, including the us, canada, mexico, the european countries. so how's the beer as a, i think w t o director general know goes on to and you've been us one your message at b as the years, almost conference matters. and she said that and to, for ted treat war pumped up by the us target, right. whether it is the 25 percent or 60 percent target each have catastrophic consequences. both global growth that is catastrophic and everyone will pay in the chinese government has also announced this anti monopoly investigation into google or tell us more about that and is this related to the latest term or just a coincidence? all right, so, so far we haven't see any coal ration between the 2 cases. so they must be the anti and one da play investigative investigation and developed as the terrors actually

enter monopoly investigation into will go, has be done many times in the european markets in the us market. and china is following the market of practice. actually in 2020 and the 2021. sean is a market that regulates or has already mentioned that 3 times of google is just the specter violation of about some reg nations and also about a suspected behaviors open monopoly. so that's why in today's pays, the china is a market reg days or the states administer for market. the regulations sets that the investigation was launched. eva code is with the rules and regulations. all right, thanks for breaking that down for a survey. i'm sure we'll be talking about this quite a bit in the months and perhaps even years ahead. let's do 10 digital reporter and international relations analyst send that show a. all right and do stay with us here on our to international. i'll be back with much more news and just over 30 minutes time. in the meantime. as always,
