6:03 pm
a i actually flew to afghanistan helicopter into the poppy fields. indic interviewed a poppy farmer. i asked him not easily in retrospect why he didn't grow crops that had 2 growing seasons instead of poppy. something like tomatoes or onions, or pomegranate, and express great frustration and said in 2001, the americans told me that i could grow hair with poppy if i told them where the arrows were hiding. and when i said what americans told you, you could grow hair when poppy and i was pulled back into the jeep and driven quickly back to the helicopter. now the bottom line, when i got back to washington unable and reported this was that we wanted ask in his dad to grow hair when poppy, because that her, when went to russia into iran, and we wanted them to be addicted to heroin. you put your findings forward all of
6:04 pm
your investigation and that was the response that yes, were allowing her when to grow because it's going to hurt moscow. correct? it was very plain and very blunt. and i was told not to publish the report which i didn't, the special inspector general for us down to stand as well, just sticking with the country john. and for i've got to send reconstruction repeatedly pointed to us. the id phone's misuse in the nation on a not small numbers either in some provinces that came to 95 percent of funds. now this is a recurring question. i've been trying to find the answer to over the last number of days for this. in particular though, where did the money go? the money went into the pockets of people that you and i have never heard of. and i'll give you another example you and when i was in human in 2011 as part of an investigation, again, the senate foreign relations committee. i went to see several american embassy
6:05 pm
officials to get an update on the situation the country. and i was told that they were spending millions of dollars on a radio station that was broadcasting pro american propaganda indian. and, and i said, well that's just such an old school propaganda oper. ready why would anybody be interested in that? and they said, oh we've, we've dedicated tens of millions of dollars to making it sound like this was being broadcast by the american network. national public radio and p r. they would intersperse talk with jazz and it was, was in specifically at the young people, teenagers, and people in their early twenties in yemen. of course it was a failure. so where did all that money go? it went into the pockets of middleman. the same thing happened in afghanistan. the same thing happens across africa. it happens everywhere that usa idea is spending millions of dollars and doesn't have to account for it. at the end of the day,
6:06 pm
the defense industry in the united states is very proud when it says we do not give cash to foreign countries. we give in kind aid, which is just in weapons and ammunition and weapon systems. that way, the government pays the defense contractors here in the united states, and it's the equipment that finds its way overseas. that's not always the case with us, say id. they do provide cash with a wink and a nod that we give you this money and you do what we want you to do. sometimes that happens most of the time, it doesn't. and we enrich a lot of very bad people overseas. here in washington, it was, it was an open secret for a long time that usc id was just simply an offshoot of the c i a and was involved in propaganda operations. you heard the clip where robert f. kennedy junior just came right out and said, well now everybody knows that that's what usa id does. it's just a propaganda organization. it's an organization that promotes american foreign
6:07 pm
policy, whether over at lee or covertly, and as an american. i'm glad to see that it's going away, even if that is temporary. we heard one note about that we're kind of talking about . if us a id is cold, it's going to mean the likes of russia on, on china are going to get more influence around the world. will that argument tickled? i think, among democrats, yes, it will. but the truth is that the, that's not, that's not really the situation that we see on the ground. the reason russia and china, especially china, are so successful in other countries around the world is because they spend so much is their money on age. they build roads, they build hospitals, they build airports and ports, and the united states spends its money on weapons and weapon systems. i spoke to an african diplomat once when i was still with the senate foreign relations committee and he said, you know, the difference between you, americans and the russians, is you promise us democracy,
6:08 pm
which really is weapons. and the russians promises food. but that's the difference in the united states, just can't understand that. so if the democrats find themselves in power again in 2 years, at least on capital hill, 4 and 4 years with the white house, i think we're going to see usa id coming back. and i'm going to, i think we're going to see the same old policies that we've always seen from the democrats, where it's going to be more and more and more military. a john curry echo on the program earlier. no r t. saskia taylor has been delving deeper into the murky history of the agency who discharged all those us taxpayer dollars across the world. 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,
6:09 pm
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, it's 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 just gotta basically get rid of the whole thing. nothing but a crop with the gang of criminals, apparently spread thing on tax 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 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,
6:10 pm
the usa id at that age. yes. yes, you had, right. all the us a i days, always to $15000000000.00 annual budget. it's estimated only 10 to 30 percent of it actually goes on aid. so what about the rest? well, has a hint, washington beloved agency employees, a lot of regime change in foods. yes. so clump for a press schools 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, but operation. the goal to dangle political messages in front of the cuban. you've got some wild up, get them onto the streets on topple, castro puts,
6:11 pm
let's make it seem grow 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. us castro government documents prepared for the us a id sponsored program called the h. i. b 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 man who is briefly considered venezuela's,
6:12 pm
president by everyone about the venezuelans themselves. a $120000000.00, well spent. in addition, usa id has committed $128000000.00 to support 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 protests, maita nicholas madura was still. busy in office, so the d. c 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?
6:13 pm
one way though, here. by whom one way though, the, the answering precedent, the venezuela, that you recognize what a bit farther south usa, our day, was also called red handed supporting set protests and bullet 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 volk, spied financing and dependency with government left 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 uh, to it could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected of the ukraine
6:14 pm
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 and that the state department has 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 uh, in ukraine. so i wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent and not really a reasonable request. yes. oh my gosh. and i shared this with you earlier alon um,
6:15 pm
just privately, but we got all kinds of threats from usa id because i was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in congress. um, so this, this is shocking. i mean is it? oh, how i mean, obviously it is outrages that it a tax payer funded organization which threaten us senator, who's simply trying to figure out if merican tax per money is being spent correctly and, and not fraudulently. yes. but for one thing on rest and toppling need is, isn't usa i days only bread and butter problems. resume phrasal star named for 90 days, has left 90 percent of ukrainian media at risk upcoming dog. because yes, the agency is big on sponsoring independent journalism. and the child is proud to
6:16 pm
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 causing all of the hand that feeds that. so and how that sometimes gives it a split 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 . 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 squared from the throat of this self appointed gaunt in
6:17 pm
a freedom and justice. how i want to act that every now democracy can finally freeze free a subsidy. and taylor with the breakdown, well, us is funding of what it calls, independent media and other organizations also expands to washington's closest allies. the b, b. c reports that it's international charge, the bbc media auction i do as a i d, as the 2nd biggest donor for the $22324.00 financial. your 2nd only to the foreign office veteran. foreign correspondent martin j says it was a winning strategy for america. to fund the british broadcasters, projects, if you look at a bbc track record, you know of, um, not being too, um, uh, vigilance oh or a garage or aggressive way. it checks facts on stories that are aligned to. it's so cools interpretations of conflicts and,
6:18 pm
and trouble spots around the wellbeing assumptions. syria, where we saw a group of people completely fake a chemical attack on them. and this was written up immediately within minutes, but it'd be see as a site balmy's on people. these are the kind of things that you think may be just the 9 slot they were both saying, but the facts, you know, it's often the case that the federal giblet school and financial powers behind the bbc, the pushing their bosses in the region as there's a certain direction, so i think we should be very skeptical about the bbc having the is that it's generally having the 2nd highest fund being the american taxpayer. and let's be specific. you know, the, um, the work brigade with the in the us think it's good you know the story to bring you to a catholic style and has published a preliminary reports on the us or by john airlines plane crash that killed more than half of the 6 feet 7 people on board in december last year,
6:19 pm
or 2 correspondence in the email is shar takes us through what was released. as you've mentioned, because of son has released the preliminary report on the as or by john airlines plane crash that occurred in december of 2024 or 38 people lost their lives. now, the report space that the investigative commission continues to conduct a detailed inspection of the aircraft. the report also had a photos of the damaged parts as well as the for and metal objects that were retrieved and slide data recorder analysis. the document also added that the investigation within the framework of the reports does not imply at the establishment of a share of guilt or responsibility. because this is a preliminary report and it can only really be clarified based on the study and research of all materials. but what's the remedial is quite quick to put the blame on a russia stating that the for an object is a rep from
6:20 pm
a russian missile with no proof to back that up. meanwhile, russian aviation circles involved in the investigation came out stating that the russian side has not yet received samples of these 4 objects for an examination. and the report itself does not really clarify what these objects are. now, it seems that the main things from the report is that the damage of the aircraft indicates that there was a penetration of external objects on board, which led to a pressure dropped and a stab eliza malfunction. and before the crash, the aircraft also changed its flight path, leading to a sharp climb and descend. they've also pointed out that'd be for an objects that were found would be taken for an examination. now overall, the record doesn't necessarily seem to give
6:21 pm
a direct reason behind the crash. so this is still quite a developing story. the hello chrome pause yet again advocated for the relocation of garrisons from their loans to what he calls beautiful places, new, me, egypt, and jordan. those remarks made a head of his meeting with the is really prime minister. come despite both art of nations stating they're not going to take part in the plan. i don't know how they can want to stay. it's it's to demolition side. it's a pure demolition side and what they find the right piece of land or numerous pieces of land and build them some really nice places. was plenty of money in the area. that's an issue. and george has said, lovely date, they have no interest. but a lot of people said things to me personally, everything has been said has been incorrectly cited based on the results of the us president 1st suggested last month, the gals that should be, quote,
6:22 pm
cleaned out by moving old palestinians to neighboring countries while future post war reconstruction is on the way we asked the a reading and buster to russian for his view of the proposal. i believe you can never clean out a territory of its indigenous peoples. palestinians have been living in gaza for centuries, more than a 1000 years. you can't just push them off of their own land, but you can see that instability and danger linger in our region. conflicts continue precisely because of such attitudes, we must treat different peoples fairly so that they may justly live on their territories. palestinians have been there forever and others came later. so i would like to pose a question. is it the aboriginal people who should stay or the occupants? what does your rational sense tell you? you can't approve of people. this is a fact that the occupants may return to where they came from, as they have gathered citizens from various countries of the world. this land
6:23 pm
doesn't belong to them. they can just go back. there is also another democratic solution. our supreme leader has said that there could be a referendum on all of these territories and muslims, christians, jews, and others, will vote there to choose how this land should be governed. and based on it, they will build a government and that will be justice. i think it's realistic to peruse this the not the atx anniversary of the your conference is being marked the meeting of the allied forces. big 3 was a pivotal milestone and global diplomacy destined to guide the collective order and security of post world war 2 society. as ortiz, political correspondent, hugo or picking off reports, it also was a long way ensuring the united nations came into b. as it was, an iconic meeting would symbolize the rare unity between the heavy weights of the
6:24 pm
2nd world war winston churchill of the united kingdom. franklin was also united states and joseph stalin of the soviet union. this picture is part of a unique exit admission taking visitors behind the scenes of this david all moments in human history be classified documents and maps and diagrams show how the allied meters coordinated their military strategy towards the end of the war. how the invasions, the political future of a liberated to europe and the plans to prevent something has horrific as that war from ever happening. again. one of those ways was through the creation of the united nations and it was it the alta conference where the leaders finalized details on the security council as a voting procedures and veto bowers. it was supposed to be fair for everyone involved. since most countries in the british empire and the commonwealth were guaranteed voting powers style in requested the same for the republics of the soviet union. they settled on 3 and agreed that each of the big 5 could veto any
6:25 pm
action by the council. considering them to move together on the epic and see the conference into iran, was the conference on how to do for you to germany and see the conference in post them determined how to rule defeated the germany and the conference and you all to it was a conference on how the world would look like after this. decisions were made regarding a certain restructuring or renewal of the league of nations. that is, the foundations were laid for the united nations, which as you know, is still functioning. we have long since moved away from the results of the all to agreements, but some elements are still working. this is mostly due to the in viability of borders in europe and the united nations. of course, it's still functions in the form in which it was conceived by the participants of the yalta conference. interesting to you also have to consider butts over 80 years so fast since then. and the world has changed. meaning now feel that the united nations no longer reflects or satisfies the needs of our multiple are world in our
6:26 pm
calling for change. spear heading these calls is one of the original members. just put on the computer and use with us. so we have repeatedly said that powers like india and brazil by all accounts have long does it have to be permanent members of the security council and appropriate decision is also needed for african permanent membership. and the united nations was established as a result of the failures of the league of nations which was created after the 1st world war. it fell apart because it didn't achieve its main objective world peace. and it doesn't look like the un is doing any better considering all the complex, raging around the world. despite the rise of the global south africa, the un security council still looks like this. not a reflection of the real world, and definitely not a way to insure a global peace or growth with even the un secretary general admitting he can no longer ignore the growing calls for before. so it is absolutely essential to a, very far as this is going to be possible to make this is that because somebody presented those roles and to make it more effect. this was one of the central
6:27 pm
questions that would be right in the subject of the world has evolved into a small, into connected on multiple lot of email and its members have increased full fold since you went to inception. yep. so you n remain so prison out of the past expansion and proper representation in the permanent category is a particular embedded the asia, africa, and latin america. the global soft, cannot continue to be short changed. achieving and maintaining peace and security requires. the collective will of the community of nations, god, but here it requires that the u. n. a security council should be more representative body and inclusive almost 80 years late to many things have changed and we need
6:28 pm
a larger and more representative council with voices from latin america and africa to really contribute to peace and security. the reform of the security council should uphold fairness and justice increase the representation and voice of developing countries allowing more small and medium sized countries to have more opportunities to participate in the decision making of the council. in particular, it should redress historical injustices against africa. within 1940 is we're all about creating a new world order, learning from past mistakes and building a better, brighter future. but the passing decades revealed how fragile such partnerships are and the need for a larger group of people to be able to make decisions. take africa, for example, over 50 frequent countries are members of the united nations, yet not one has a permanent seed at the un security council. that's around 17 percent of the world's population. compare that with france for example, which has less than one percent. it just doesn't make sense. the west claims,
6:29 pm
it's now ready to welcome some of them, but without the rope hours. we are not interested in being token members of the security council. africa must be treated as an equal player, not as a secondary act to in africa cannot have a 2nd class participation on the un security council. we demand and require that we should have serious participation. one fix that we from africa demand is for the united nations to embrace democracy in the security council by giving africa to permanent seats with vito power and institution that excludes $54.00 african countries. while allowing one nation to veto the decisions of the remaining 193 member states is unacceptable. the counsel is dysfunctional and democratic non inclusive, unaccountable, autocratic, and opaque. that's why russia is calling for real reforms, but moscow is not suggesting
6:30 pm
a new organization insisting that the framework already exists, but needs polishing, and ensuring everyone's voices are heard and respected. it's what we've heard from russian officials, time and time again, building a fair multiple world based on the principles of equal and indivisible, security. and together with this un security council reform, we will make the west understand that it is no longer capable of imposing its own rules on the whole world. for many centuries pumping out results is from africa, asia, and latin america no longer capable of living at the expense of others. we should seek a balance of interest. if things continue this way with the majority of the world continuing feeling in order to install only a matter of time before countries give up on the united nations and start talking about building something else. it already happened decades ago in history does have the habits of repeating itself. you go up is going off r t a lot. these are wrapped for an hour from the are to use room,
