[000:00:00;00] the, the russian foreign minister, sir, gala rob discloses western efforts to prevent involvement from russia and china, and a ron in resolving the situation in syria where the country is facing the quote of problems with the new leadership after the fall of the pastor assad. these are some of the same priorities that that organization has been spending money on. $47000.00 for a transgender offer out in columbia. 32000 for a transgender comic book in peru. as the white house takes and asked to you with a id, we look at how the infamous agency has been spending billions to, to okay us around the world under the guise of humanitarian health. so we're looking to do

a deal with new brain where they're going to secure what we're giving them with their rare earth and other things. and it's finally official. the u. s. want to cranes natural or riches in exchange for ongoing support. as president trump analysis plans for new deal with the following up on an idea from a senior republican center. the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you are watching our t international. the west is trying to prevent russia, china, and a ron from helping to settle the rocky leadership transition in syria. after the fall of summer, president bush or assad, russian foreign minister, it's like a lot of rough, provided those revealing remarks during the holiday discussion clubs. the middle east, the conference, a cd technician at the most of the, in syria. of course, there are big problems that including the problem with the government, but it is now embodied by the leader of high out to free. it was from shara,

and those groups that were part of the structure between which of to the change of power in syria dialogue and understanding has not been found. there is still a need to promote national dialogue in a very active and constructive manner. not trying to gain geo political points, but thinking about the future of the syrian people. and for this purpose, it is necessary to unite the efforts of all external players who can influence the situation in one way or another. and the attempts to prevent russia, china and iran from accidentally supporting syrian settlement, hardly dictated by good intentions, but they do reveal the west plans to push its competitors out to positions of secondary importance if they want to all of the fall die discussion club where international diplomats and high profile gas or meetings, talking about challenges facing the middle east. they're looking for solutions and ways towards growth and stability. and many years feel that the rich countries could play

a big role and achieving that. syria is of course in focus and the consensus here seems to be that international guidance is required. so the level of continued moving on to 11 on saying that. likewise, there americans are hampering the resolution of the conflict by rain washing locals, insisting that somehow there is no way that they can have national dialogue to resolve the situation there because the russian forces are hampering that. and he continued saying that he emphasized inside that the middle east is not washington's playground, where they can just come and destroy them and create tails in conflict and the crisis and then watch it all go down. he said that this kind of form policy is something that we've observed by washington for decades now. and he even said that washington's concept of america 1st is sort of similar to hitler's above all. and this is not the way to go. and this could, in fact the very diplomacy for good,

i'll continue and on to garza, he said that even though there is a ceasefire there, it seems that that cease fire and piece is really quite fragile chess. we are already getting signals that there will be problems with the 2nd phase, and they have probably already started because these railey ruling circles are sending out such messages saying they are not satisfied with the way her mouth is fulfilled, its obligations under the 1st face. so we are not rooting anything out. and just to wrap up here on day one of the valid died discussion clubs, many of the experts here today feel that international cooperation is flights. so when it comes to resolving the challenges faced in the middle east and the conflicts there, but that help and guidance should come from countries that have the middle east, best interests at heart. and this is what the, the all day club today here is all about. the, the oval office is cracking down on washington's notorious resumed change agency

usa i d. l on less because already threatened to shut it down as part of his efforts and leading trumps government efficiency departments and white house press secretary, caroline love. it took further shots at the agency climbing it weighs taxpayer dollars on questionable initiatives. if 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 d i. d, i in serbia's, workplace is 70000 for production of a d. i musical. and ireland. $47000.00 for a transgender offer out 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 dollar is going towards this crap. and i know the american people don't either. and that's exactly what you on must, has been tasked by president trump, to do, to get the fraud waste and abuse out of our federal government. to,

to back up the accusations, the white house revealed a list of detailing usa i. d, 's mismanagement of unaccounted funds, like the $2000000.00 techs peer dollars set aside for sex, change operations in guatemala. then there are the hundreds of thousands set to non profits linked to terrorist groups, including meals that made their way to all kinds of affiliated fighters in syria. and let's not forget the hundreds of millions and funding that's gone to harrow and production in afghanistan. protest shortly erupted outside usa, i. d. 's headquarters were democrats gathered to denounce the trump administrations that come down the usa, the sites terrace, groups all across this world, making sure that we address the underlying causes for a treat to terrorism. usa, i, the chase is china all around the world, making sure the china doesn't monopolize contracts for critical minerals in port infrastructure. and so, as i do most did not create usaid. he doesn't have the power to destroy it and who is going to stop him?

we are without that soft power around the world. we are making ourselves weaker. we're making our adversaries and allies stronger. we step back and we create a vacuum, you know who steps in. it's russia, it's china, it's our adversaries. well, democratic representatives clamor over in pending usa id budget cuts our tea correspondence, ask you a tailored those into the murky history of the agencies preferred for, and meddling as an old hand. and the biggest play in the game, usa i, they really should have seen it coming. how often move decades, could they not have smelt a really frustrating shutting down here? is that the, the, the reason is that as opposed to simply because you're trying to do, do some minor house cleaning is, is that as your dog 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. let's 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've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing. nothing but a crop with the gang of criminals. apparently spread thing on tax pays 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 and us $8.00 to go to actual aid, up to $0.30 on the dollar from $0.10 on the dollar. that's a major problem that we have 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. all of us

a i pay is always to $50000000000.00 annual budget. it's estimated only 10 to 30 percent of it actually goes on aid. so what about the rest? well, all right, my apologies for interrupting my colleagues saskia there, but the russian foreign minister sergey la bravo is taking part in a presentation to introduce the new department focusing on russian partnership with african countries. let's take a lesson, but that is ration of a new department at our ministry, the department for african partnership. the decision of its introduction 1st and for most reflects the importance that our country leadership attaches to developing the african course of russia's foreign policy. is this priorities and find in the foreign policy concept of the russian federation approved by president pollutant one and a half year ago. and it becomes more and more important in our practical actions on

the international stage. our african friends have always been and will continuously be able to count on russia as a reliable understanding friend and partner. of friendship in partnership is rooted in longstanding history. like we have supported, selflessly supported africans in there who wrote, struggle against colonial powers for freedom and independence contributed to the stablish moment of their young statehood. development of the economy and strengthening of defense capabilities. as well as conducting local trainings and solving the most complex international issues. please feel free to brush up on our key historical milestones of our relations to records collected here is on this place. just a little bit below. you will see documents and photos from brush and anastasia archives,

showcasing cooperation between russia and african states. going all the way back to the soviet these and up until today. as well as the history of african directions in the work of our ministry. nowadays, africans play and increasingly important role in global politics and economy actively participate and solving international issues. role in international affairs, the collective voice of african countries is heard loud and clear. and russia stands for strengthening advocates positions in the new multiple world. and i'm not sure which has taken shape before our eyes. it's the end which will be guided by the principles of the united nations charter. just messes up with me. all of them go to page equal significance. now i west some counterparts or

a bent on inflicting a strategic defeats on russia using the hands of ukrainians whom they are providing with the state of the out to weapons to make strikes against the russian federation school. it is so pretty to you perpetrating sealed whole school. i'm assume i have crimes supporting the nazi regime, which is trying to destroy everything russian and to uproot historical memory. the bus to assume that the, the trumping down and the people that we still use who used to remember their ancestors who developed those lands, the lands of the don't bass and nobody else here with flesh and those who gave their lives to protect those lands from nazi occupation, of course the, to me and in this connection 3, when some of the junior west and politicians, it was, as mentioned,

the un charter. they speak about the principle of territorial integrity. while forgetting the other principles and trying to the child to those festivals. and so the principle of solving the quality of states which was never respected by the modern west. and of course, the principle of equality and the self determination of peoples statement of pretty and such sum up. and i'd like to emphasize that as the rights of peoples to self determination is the, which was at the foundation of the efforts to the colonize the african continent city, i think that's sort of based on you and decisions. but it shows shooting. it's like you, which were adopted. that's what it comes with. a key role played by the russian got the russian states would be new to the swedish, the new at, at some point. african states decided that they can no longer live under the yoke of them. the trouble is the duty of we should not represent the interests of the

african peoples expedient. and today we're seeing a similar process in ukraine with a key regime can not claim to represent the interests of the peoples of the don't bass and overall. so yeah, it's just you and with the interest of people living in many other parts of your train, like we support our african friends and the restoration to become permanent members of the united nations security council. and do we really respect the decisions made by consensus? there's a winning consensus, let us show you and the set of declarations. we welcomed the successful development . so it's all of a various integration entities and framework, some of the content some and we support the desire of our friends to determine the future independently. providing african solutions to african problems. uh, cooperation. yes. because as mentioned by president putting in the,

it's not this article he published on russian africa as a strategic cooperation. let me see is entering a new stage of development to a face of an able to think to rush, advocate summit's be, are we what school do you mean the sound of the 1st ministerial conference? so the russia, africa partnership for him held him november. well, very important. we're working with the friends to realize the treatments made during those events. relying on the plan of action adopted in st. petersburg in summer 2023. so this is where making huge steps, but of course, i mean there's still much to be done. rushes to trade and economic correlations with africa. developing last year we had a significant increase in trade. we're now reached $25000000000.00 in tre turnover. but of course,

we are steadily moving forward and the new success is providing inspiration with it and looking for new projects that will strengthen this and know that there's the groundwork for our future cooperation. there are many prospects inspectors such as energy, logistics, steel transport was the creation of new value chains and settlements with systems. was most developing high tech areas, space, exploration, nuclear energy. we conduct those that are in use. we're willing to cooperate both on the bilateral basis and with the participation of all friends and the like minded countries in the ration economic union. the c i s the seo because we're slowing her around. but it looks like eats and breaks countries where african with the physicians. ok, so the coming of a stronger solution and i'm sure that they will just be expanded and further on the

guns ties between you ration and african integration entities are very promising. the motor, she will have significant alignments, we're seeing increased parliamentary and into policy relations. and of course, we will continue to support africans in the fight against terrorism and creating the description, you put a voice and it does up a whole forward is necessary to ensure for the security counter academics and the train and highly skilled workforce that they need under the number of people from africa i see the remote receiving of training. the of the sponsored by the russian budget is growing year by year. and i hope that the next meet is to will, conference, will be held in africa as agreed to by the heads of states and will help us prepare for the 3rd russian african summit, which is planned to be held in 2026. 0,

excuse me. i agree with those who say that trash is coming back to africa even though so, so what come back to me, you could just kind of in vigorous i remember the situation of to the soviet union was, was suspended. lovely. there was several reasons that led to the weakening of our relations and of the, which the decline in russia's interest in africa. and then so one of them was a school. so usually unavoidable, the financial situation of the both soviet states, including the russian federation, a sudden is this, the finances we're desperate. we had to close down diplomatic offices to save money that had been intended for our foreign policy projects. and the 2nd reason was political. what's the use if you get up to my was deep

regret that i seem to spell the leadership of the russian federation so that yes, i guess goes off to the country became independent and silver. and the beauty of an outside of the soviet union was up in the midst of interest. a new form of statehood decided that it should hit the list of the big discussion a focus on relations with the west, while ignoring the rest of the world. that it was a strategic mistake. now, it's been acknowledged by everyone, including at the highest levels. but i assure you that mistake was a critical lesson to the current generation of the russian leaders and the current generation of the russian people use this to me. so we are now confident that africa is a natural ally list of the dispute submitted. and we must work together to make sure that the principles of justice and the quality are observed in the world. even more valuable will,

like it is written in the united nations charter. this is why yet another department on african affairs was created. now ministry, the department of the partnership with africa, which is a reflection of our broad reaching interest and developing relations with the african states. and the more broadly countries of the global self countries of the global majority of utilizing a variety of approaches and formats us both here in the central offices and the us in our offering offices. we are now re directing resources from areas that used to be devoted to ideas, to our hopes that weston count of pots would behave in a decent matter and observed into international law the of us video. now those

hopes dashed into we are now re directing those resources to the new purposes that much more promising that includes the work with the global majority. and this week we'll continue with. we welcome the work of the ones i know rush africa partnership for him and that the positive twelves and make sure that this happens. and it will also work with the regional, sub regional entities. and the initiatives and groups for rep, because working with all kinds of the multilateral entities, bilateral relations will also continue. and they're certainly one of those very valuable and new. let's look at the least in north africa department to we'll continue being responsible for that. we've fiji and the former the ability to get

the new model of the department of africa that is now called the department of sub saharan africa countries. i think this a more precise. remember it's a geographical designation. so would you put it will promote a more effective work of your that department will deal with bilateral relations exclusively. and it will soon see increased the lead to investment increased cooperation, including due to the up street, the opening of a new embassies. last year. we opened the embassies and book and of faso and tauriel, do you we will soon resume your operation in a new share, sierra leone, and, and south sudan. we will open an embassy for the 1st time. we also planned to open courses and can be a liberia tomorrow's and to go and of course,

that machine and we also insuring it as an effort to that needs resources for you. but here we are fully supported by the president and the government of the russian federation. and in conclusion, i would like to do the give the floor to the director of the department for african relations to tatiana de glen cove in the middle for each. and it was a very energetic leader. that's not a cliche, it's just the fact that she's a new generation leader. she has a lot of experience in pharma relations. so last position abroad was a deputy permanent representative of russia at unesco, where she maintained the ideals of honest, international cooperation in a very effective manner and the dealer with this but on your list. so through this

just sort of brought soul of the value of keeping you why you messed it up when you were sending out. again, use that showing unscrupulous attempts to politicize. the unesco is activities in the interest of the global minority led by the united states. the united kingdom and other european countries here. now you secreted shamelessly trying to privatize the activities of international organizations and the secretary, it's the one that has a very negative trend, just very harmful to the international community. and we're seeing that, how to nass go to even though the organization so these originally intended to help a closer relationship between countries and culture and education. working paris,

she strings and humanitarian and cultural cooperation with global south and eastern countries, including african countries on good. there is no doubt that she will have even more opportunities to build partnerships with our african friends in her new capacity and that she will make the fullest use of the so pretend disease that to strengthen friendship and cooperation please when she bodies. thank you very much. all right, was the russian foreign ministers took a live rob speaking there unveiling a new diplomatic initiative focusing on russia's partnerships with the african countries. i'll just briefly highlight some of the key points that he made there during that presentation. he said that after 10 effort i can count on russia to be their partner, the africans play and increasingly important role on the global stage. i've, i've said russia stands for strengthening african positions. and the new multi

puller world is that russia supports the right of self determination, which is behind the colonization efforts on the african continent. we've heard him say that russia supports efforts by african countries to become permanent members of the un security council. and that russia's economic relations with african countries continue developing stand currently at $25000000000.00 us dollars in that trade. among the areas of cooperation include nuclear, energy and space travel right. turning to other news now for the for president, from the business is the business, and he wants ukraine to hand over its natural riches to the us and exchange for continued support under a lucrative new deal. a we're going to rain very valuable, rarer and we won while we put up to go in terms of the guarantee we want to guarantee one. we're handing a money hand over fist. we're giving them equipment. so we're looking to do

a deal with your brain where they're going to secure what we're giving them with a rare are as, and other things. well, this puts the ukrainian army in a rather peculiar position because the message is very clear. if you grant in soldiers won't new and 16 rifles if they want more of those anti tang javelins, if uh they won't do. bradley's instead of those to replace those that have been burned by russian. if the, the drones send a bit of fights and the better fight, not full just for big, bold, beautiful words like a democracy or independence. but for something very grounded, both figuratively and literally full resources. and this idea, i get some clear how populate will be among those who have been forcefully mobilized in ukraine and those who are in the trenches right now. but some of those keys, certainly not against it, because this is not the 1st time that this idea as being floated in the 1st time

happened back to during the biden administration and back then. zalinski didn't exactly oppose it. they're sitting on korean dollars worth of minerals are to be good, our economy, they're sitting on $10.00 to $12000.00 of critical minerals and, and you train, i don't want to give that money and those assets to put into a share with china. now these estimates a quite a bit of exaggeration because most of these rare of mineral deposits are either in the net school or guns region, the guns region. i mean, ukraine is in the control of just one percent of it, even less and ended and that's quite huge. and rushes successfully advancing. and quite recently, the russians captured, one of the biggest is not the biggest lithium deposit in europe. and it is quite significant because even before the war, the german manufacturer is especially car manufacturer, is they were offering that deposit to the pool because logistically it would make it the breeze to send all those old i believe,

seem to jim and car manufacturers and giants like siemens, for instance, because right now, most of lithium, they get, they're getting from latin america and it is not as easy to just transport lithium over the over the ocean. but when the war began, it is clear now that well, they will have to, to, to russia about that particular deposit and all the rest, by the way, which are under the control of the russian troops right now. and the lithium is extremely valuable because it's pretty much in every device that you own that contains a battery. it's in your smartphone, it's in the laptop. it is crucial for com manufacturers because it's in batteries. it's in your test flights and every electric car right now, it's in the back for you. so it is crucial cutting costs on that. and well, the european, the europe income markets and the european car industry isn't feeling very good right now. losing the competition to china, but again, on this all of the above,

it still does not show any clear motivation for the ukrainian troops for an average ukrainian calling script who is in the trenches. and it will be a hard pill to swallow for him. it will be a hard thing to sell to them that they have to give their lives for the well being of european copper juices of, uh, the american taxpayer, and in general, for the european and the american industry. so this is not something that you go out there and just die full. right. i'm back with more news here on our to international and half an hour. i'll see you then. but the
