the, the, the us is on its last legs. now as donald trump exposes the agencies long legacy of corruption or for my state department of special highlights, just one of its kit jobs. they actually administer usaid programs all over bangladesh and all over the world. and they funded bangladesh, she raft groups to produce a songs and music videos insinuating that people should take to the streets. the other use writing a prime minister didn't get the little nice. the welcomes during his visit, speech side except the white house itself, where the u. s president shots the well with this plan to own gazda,

and if it gets people to us we'll take over the gaza strip. below that you are the greatest friend is room is ever had in the white house. the upon the ammonium in paris, people pump the streets to protest against the floor, and it hadn't set to be driving the knowledge of the democratic republic of the congo, the hello that welcome to our attention national, reaching you from the russian capital, with the latest from around the world i a michael project. now if that was one story this week that sent shock waves all around the world. it was us the ideas. and that's because the united states agency for international development is now being exposed to submit to more than the front for the c i a. and as donald trump

dismantles the global body, he says there is one political group in particular that's feeling the heat. usa i. d is driving the radical left crazy and there's nothing they can do about it because the way in which the money has been spent. so much of it fraudulently is totally unexplainable. the corruption is at levels rarely seen before. close it down. it's not just by it's back to us. the id had interest stretching all across the globe, but he has died during the annual budget of around $40000000000.00 holding the purse strings of for those 60 percent of americans total for in the sense assistance or the us presidents as that's what's left of the agency, once he's done with it, will be much with the state department, the robust that will lead $300.00 of the common $14000.00 employees will keep the jobs. he's secretary of state double down on that, saying that america's interests have to come 1st. 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. these are 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 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 passed by president trump to do to get the fraud waste and abuse out of our federal government. the former state department official has now also a help build it laid on us the de mike bens speaking with tucker, coughing, details, the agencies rolling, creating k off and the even toppling governments world wide. here is one recent example that he highlighted. they saw b, l, g, b, population to, to bangladesh, sheet ethnic minority groups, and young students and student groups who had already been protesting earlier that year because of the big and some of the local, local politics issue there. and, and they noted, you know, that the rap music was, was popular and young people were listening to rap music in bangladesh. so what did

they do? they, they turned around and they took us taxpayer funds. they get a 100 percent of the money from, from the state department, and they work closely with usa. they actually administer usaid programs all over bangladesh and all over the world. and they funded bangladesh. she rap groups to produce songs and music videos insinuating that people should take to the streets and do street protests and you know, the classic a peaceful protest that's has the, the upside of being a, a ride earlier my colleague, you know, neil spoke with investigative douglas ben swan, and he knows that it's all well and good to pull back the cuttings on us the id. well, the agency should have been exposed a long time ago. 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 its 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 is tried in her congressional oversight authority to get an answer from you with a lead, 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 this process of

this you for a while now. almost 3 years and all this time, zalinski hasn't questioned where the money is, because he knows that the united states has dedicated almost $300000000000.00 to him. there's almost $300000000000.00 us taxpayer dollars that dedicated to your cause and only now in the last week. did you come out and say, no, i just realized something. we didn't get the money. where did it go? i hope it was. it was the hasn't said anything until this moment, but he doesn't know where the money is, because the truth is, he knows exactly what you create has been a drug, 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 one. you want to redeem the weapons aren't going to ukraine. they're going all over the world, including into middle eastern and african countries. 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. and switching gears now on tuesday, the is ready, prime minister objected to the united states capital for an almost a week long visit while trump gave, and that's an yahoo, a warm welcome in the white house, out on the streets protest is accused him of war crimes including genocide against palestinian people. a swarm of demonstrate is gathered outside his window with somebody one forcing the way in the

other protest this calmed out for the duration of nathan. yeah. who say he was actually the 1st 4 and leader to be hosted by trump says that lots of kicked off his 2nd tub in the oval office. and it was there that the us presidents to the opportunity to announce his vision for gas a cus will take over the guys a strip, floated us greatest friend as early as ever had in the white house. you were talking tonight about the united states taking over a sovereign territory. what would allow you to do that? are you talking about a firm, an occupation there?

everybody i've spoken to loves the idea of the united states, boning that piece of land developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent. he sees a different future for that piece of land. he has a different idea. you might hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn't want to reach it. why would they want to return in 7, maybe a 1000000 a. but i think all of them, i think they'll be resettled in areas where they could live a beautiful life, and nobody could live, say you can't live there. and not enough time to own the band, buffalo and clay, even the truss full, made into a rivera. how the middle east has cost up wrong all around the world. here as if it takes from the jordanian capital, where crowds voice, they're under the ideal evicted meetings of wallace, teens. and that's us. egypt, saudi arabia and even u e are reportedly planning to dropping off brussel joined to rejection. the drum scheme values will follow it up with its own proposal to re uh,

essentially say that you've got plenty of land. why not create your own policy in, in states? so i know we spoke with a member of the have mass political bureau who says not only do godson's complete bill post transplant, but the new mirror was published, deeded refugees across the region. are ottomans. that will return home as we leave the scene and people are mature enough to decide for themselves, and they can choose with we have to live and how, how to live 2nd, this is our land, and we decide how to rebuild it. and the future of this land and what a meant to me, i want, has government supported by the american ministration. what he has failed to achieve by 15 months of the abutment and genocide, we are not privy to allow on board his administration to implement it or to achieve

it. but any other way from the number of people who are ready to go into such idea to be nearly 0 because i am now aware of how many people who will have lift because it, during the last 15 months, outside the country in egypt or some other countries, autumn, no bushing and boss came to us beaten the every day. we went to the 10 bucks to gaza despite the audit. no in egypt or in nor how or. ready other countries and the, the, want me to go back to the slide, we are with the, because it is totally destroyed. now let's switch over to friends now, protesting power is this entity to validate and supporters of the democratic republic of the congo squared off with the police. the now several arrests were made and over 1500 people showed up. and so the diary to

you with the central african nation holding signs with messages like our wealth, our rights. and that's because many are accusing western governments and even lawanda, how supporting the militant defensive in the east to get their hands on the price less resources. and that's something to galle from the denies. the guys, the french, they need to get the hell out of the d, r c. and so to the westerners, they have to get out of our land because we're congolese, we have the rights to our soil. the congolese people are rich people. our land is rich, we're rich and raw materials. i'd like to say to the french, listen to the history of the congo. find out what's going on in the congo because the right you are claiming to your land that your home is the same. we are claiming it ours. we came here as children. we'd loved to go back home or set up the westerners or behind it all in the international community says nothing. we're going to die because of our wealth, just so they can make mobile phones. they can do whatever they like,

but we're the ones dying we've had enough of this. we've had enough of the rwandans and we've had enough of the crowns. both. he's come here to plunder us. we're sick and tired of it. now this week, the m 23 militant group held its 1st public, riley said and seizing control of a major city of the eastern d. c. ken shots that has the keys through wanda's backing the bead. so it ends in order to gain access to rad minerals vitals to the global tech industry. you got the denies the claims. i am 23 sad. it is simply fighting for the couldn't release people. we are not at war, no in rebellion, but we are in a constitutional revolution to label our movements. members as foreign nationals is tantamount to manipulation lies and propaganda by mr. cheese, the katie, our movement isn't using military force in violation of the sovereignty territorial and independence of the d. c. we are a congress, these constitutional revolution fighting the tyrannical regime of mr. felix cheese

equity. now you're looking at the switches from goma. now the red cross work as there had been collecting the remains of victims following a fire at the local prison last week. explore that at least a $150.00 women were among. ready those burned to live, the inmates allegedly said one of the facilities, buildings a light blocking escape routes and so chopping those inside according to some reports, 4000 present as we used to the ensuing chaos to escape. now the congo river lions, which is associated with the m $23.00 group sides of the common crisis is neither a war nor rebellion, but rather a constitutional revolution. now we've heard from civilians in the region who say that via praying for peace. let this meeting lead to a concrete solution and finally bring us peace because we live in constant suffering. they've forbidden us from working after 6 in the evening,

forcing us to go home and fear as a girl. i'm a resident, i long for tranquility to return. it went on the flash of us as we the residence of goma. ask for only one thing. piece. our brothers fall under gunfire, but since m. 23 entered the city, the bodies have been piling up. it's too much, we can't take it anymore. the foreign powers covered our resources. let them come and take them and what we want is peace. we don't need this vile from one another time to resolve the ongoing hostilities. 2000 leaders of african states convened at the buttons summit in pennsylvania, and they have a directed the ministry chief to come up with a ton to achieve both a temporary cease fire. on the longer lasting piece, either one of the president has accused the d. r. c, o, ignoring the rights of the people in the border region. the d r c can not just tell us to keep quiet when they are mounting a security problem against our country. nobody can tell us to shut up. we can't go on forever massaging problems. what is happening there is an ethnic war that has

been brewing for a long time, denying people's rights, and then attacking lawanda. you must recognize people's rights and take a step and resolve the issue. that we've heard from university of rwanda, professor thom liza. he believes that other african states capable of put, putting an end to the blood shed. i think there's going to be a breakthrough because i think this time, we are being the subject of the hands of stairs to be that we just set up a team. it wouldn't be successful with the on his side duck taking on this challenge, but i think they probably took away that is existing between and that the appointment is pretty and. busy since last, at least, we've seen that did, the fact is involved in the, of the attending even though the, the, the c, i attended online not physical. but i think the ends of states coming to be loved.

but i think we expect that least is by at least i'm looking forward to that this is for yeah, we're from off at cobb. loved them is the last key. it has finally knowledge that he's ready for. peace talks with russia. how about he seems, cautious about the position of his allies calling on the us in europe, not to abandon kids. yep. so bear on mind if i had the understanding that america and europe would not abandoned us, and they would support us and give us security guarantees, then i wouldn't be ready for any full match of negotiations. now the last can't pull the crane out to be a symbol piece folks back in 2022 after the former british prime minister boy, his johnson reassured him of western support. then zalesky signed a degree binding any negotiations with moscow. the russian president has already note that he's ready to discuss resolving the carpet,

but says that the key of will have to abolish the degree 1st. other countries from a top diplomat how by says if zelinski agrees to give up land in exchange for peace is political. curia is over. like, i think we share a person who signed a document saved by which we renounce. nato still has a chance to survive physically and politically. the person who signs in agreement with the renunciation of lance will either be killed or removed from politics. now let's get some more thoughts on all this now in crestline to independent thoughts done list. sonya i've done the in the joining me right now. sonya is good to have you join me. so the landscape, he said he's ready for talks, but only if the us and europe don't to bundle in kid. is that the suggestion? he things that might well, of course he's a phrase because you know, uh donald trump said he would like to discuss it with a president, puts him also with him because he is going to washington. apparently that's what we

read in the regular media. and also we heard that there is some kind of proposal coming up next week at the new, in a conference in germany. but he is afraid and also, you know, i have watched an interview with him on an english channel and the regular channel of course. and he was saying that he wants this piece negotiations what you said with europe. and of course we did us, but he does not want any election because he says rush, i will take advantage of this. rochelle court is saying, this is true, is legitimate and that's what he is because his mandate expired last year. so, but he is claiming that people who are that on now of growth in europe or other countries that they cannot quote or the military cannot so, so it's an illegal vote. this is just his excuse to say that, you know,

is not ready for this. and he is also not ready actually, when he says that for a piece me thing, because president fulton or the russian government says it's, you know, they will not speak with him because he's there. listen to me now is the last. he said he's not afraid of elections, but the ukrainian people are doing the one who voted in war time about let's look and listen to this. the way. see, we don't want the war twins and we would hold elections when we mount population is against elections during both time. all people are against it. why? because everyone understands what will happen today. i'm not afraid of them and told just what will happen. we will need to end martial law or suspend martial law . if we suspend data, we will lose the army. and in principle, the russians will be happy. the question of combat readiness, morale, and so on, you lose. it is a fact that people will have all the rights to return home. now, what do you make of these words?

do people really not want to vote as they know, it will mean defeat? of course they want and i mean they will, they always be a possibility, a baby they are in europe. something can be organized through. they still have embassies in europe. i know that so or in the us or in australia and whatever. so i don't think they are afraid they want to focus because i think the ukrainians themselves wants to end this war because you know, it's a chronus what is going on. so many people died so many soldiers died. so he is just clinging onto power. he doesn't want to lose his power because he knows when people going to vote and there are some of the good candidates who really wants these agreements, and you can speak to the russians then his career is over and maybe nobody knows whose life is over. but his political career is over and he will not be supported any more by the u. s. not now any more than also not maybe through you are because when you were of sees there was a candidates who really want space,

then they will not. they put their hands off and they will not negotiate with the new candidates. so that's just, you know, all we have to living here now. so yeah, but the end, the independent thoughts dotala is speaking with us right there. thank you so much for your insight. a thank you by grade by an to media now. well, news has budge that the country is founding. father has died of age of 95. the south west african nations current president has a pay tribute to some of the on a funding fund the here i got a marsh out then i maybe and people during the dots i was all the patients started off into the payment of free domain. the dependence on the 25th so much 1990 as founding president is excellence a doctor. suddenly alma provided the maximum will lead us to our mission and spend

no effort to what divide each and every i may be on to build a country that would stand tall and proud among the nations of the world. the president of the south and west african peoples organization, which is also on this level from $9.00 to $60.00 and to be achieved independence and viewed for many years after that was dr. 70 on the found on him and his comforts to negotiate with big super power was in the international farm and stage while fighting a war case of african defeats force. a 222, dmv number begins that independence history tells us that new york became involved in politics to saves. he attracted the attention of wides so that because the secuity, which organized protest against the implementation of pottery policies in south west africa. and he did quote for the country to be go on to independence through

all those years if she was forced into exile in the ninety's sixty's after she was arrested and caused with organizing popular resistance in the country. but she was also elected president of swap or an up skin she at. at this level, members we are told ended up in so that's because the notorious of robin island prison. but she spent the case in exile, establishing swap law offices in liberty, states, and gone, or an international and to pro maxima could even military support for the independence of them to be ad swap will struggle, neil my and his compact. he is petition to the united nations to in so that because colonial administration often and maybe i and even though the you increase that so that because of that would be, was illegal. so africa refused at the time to give up his occupation to the country . but the time went by, it is visually slothful when a majority in the number be an eviction add to sax wasn't the 90. in fact,

it was 1990 and the all my was a need to the 1st president of the republican, maybe at that time. and that was also when i'm gonna be a d and it's independence. he was also really good for 2 terms in office, despite some control over c, as that the number be in the governments had to find a way around inclusive solutions to them. it wasn't to make him continue serving as president to even from for 2 terms. he did eventually step down in 2005, but even way before that in fact, to the 1980s, 98, to 7, to be specific. so was fighting really hard for africa, not just for them. if you have a listen to this, africa has unanimously agreed that nivia, zimbabwe, south africa, and other colonial strong holds on the continent must be liberated. as a matter of priorities that african states must cooperate and to coordinate all efforts aimed at consolidated independence and strengthening unity and the africans

. vast resources will be used by the africans to secure progress and economic self determination for the continent. and even though he disappeared from the limelight of to see 32000, she will be of you mean, but for his courage, he's on waiver. any conviction, he will be remembered as a father, not just his family, but also the entire african is now secretary general, i'll be king and community spotty book. i'm all the size of the leading the media and president was a key inspiration for africans to fight against colonialism and neil colonialism. it's really important do far, why we, i'm wanting to talk to somebody on is that she is a symbol and administration to that don't on evaluation and they can, we can dependents both, i think. and you know, people, particularly,

we also have to clarify the pollution open up the kind of that i see now. maybe it is not free until the entire continent is free. so indeed, in that respect, we see that somebody on the was able to inspire many generations, even out of the 99 t. and when the media actually go to independence from the can particularly ways that the i lot of, of, of, he's reflection on sunday speech is particularly in regard to his leadership and swap for it. better to try and show that in the midst of us tablets. but to go to that all moscow, for example, they don't all have than and then how the united states and this was out of my new, but in south africa, in the wall independence,

this is what we continued to celebrate about his life. and like we all say today to defend the ada, don't all of those. so that's what born in 1920 is. i think some of the all my was the last of via so even the independence. and then he also marks the continuation from the colonial is almost this drama goodness, the zoning. we do this triangle again, is neil colonialism the moment. and finally, we also remember a pass on the meter is being con, that continues to inspire the i'm keeping the applicant constant or why stay with our team to national for all the latest i'm around the well, thanks for watching. i'll see you again the,

the valve cover on which is doing nothing. now when you go home, see this one, the size of whatever is america. we're going to get to the curb where the general flying starts on them and id say for most of the really old shoot order here we'll see, must also manage our store in this country to another, to come forth, man to reach you for the good or i chose you so to provide you with the surface coverage to ship this book because of to really good at the sun, but choose to use it the assume the students. so i think if we go to some of that, you start to see the it is a little think and i missed the concept that you mean come when you've sort of more .
