the, the 1st thing zalinski was moments away from signing an economic lifeline. and instead he put the cart ahead of the horse and he bets the hand that is feeding him. valencia is a refusal to seek peace and puts him under mounting pressure to concede orest. besides, as the us for porter lake suspends military aid to ukraine, you should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through seconds and we've given them much more than you are up in europe should have given more than us. because as you know, that's right there, that's the board. the end appears to be nice for the collective was the republican . this is to us from long time european allies over you brain and many more issues . plus the democratic republic of the congo offers the us

a lucrative partnership to access the embattled stations. natural riches the r c. once washington support against the militants accused of leading the central african country on behalf of neighboring rolanda the live in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. we're bringing new the top new stories from around the worlds for vitamins zalinski bit the hand that feeds him and is now facing the music. us has reportedly paused all of its military age shipments to ukraine. a white house official told the media that key of must to stop the war. as donald trump has directed, the president has been clear that he is focused on peace. we need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. we're pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution. well,

we haven't heard any public confirmation from the white house about them pausing a to crane, but the media sure has been talking a lot about it. we've seen it reported in both blurt, bloomberg and fox news also had its own segment covering that whole ordeal. united states is pausing. busy use. busy military aid to ukraine, until president trump determines the trainings show a commitment of good faith peace negotiations. that's according to a senior trump administration telling fox this is not a permanent termination of aid. it is a pause. the orders are going out right now. the official said this in response to granting presence, unless he's conduct over the last week and his words over the weekend. this all comes as washington and t if we're supposed to sign a ukrainian rare, or if minerals the last week. because according to trump, i mean, she feels like the us has put tons of time and energy and money into ukraine, and it's gotten very little in return. so it's trying to make a profit. and this

d. o, according to the trump, is the best way to do it. here's the ukraine minerals deal now, dad, or can it be revive? what, which well, i'll let you know we're making this space. you probably heard about it tomorrow and i so i'll let you know tomorrow night, but no, i don't think so. i think it's look at, it's a great deal for us because you know, bite and very, very flawlessly, stupidly frankly gave $300000000.35 more accurately uh, to a country to fight and to try and do things. and you know what happened, we get nothing and what we're doing is getting that all back and a lot more than that. but that deal didn't even get signed at all. because before trump and zalinski could actually even talk about it, zalinski made a huge scene in the white house and got kicked out of the oval office. so what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy? that's what president trump is doing. can i ask you? sure. yeah, yeah. okay. what do you mean?

i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy it is going to in the destruction of your country. but he's mr. president, the window respect. i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office to try to litigate this in front of the american media. we're trying to solve a problem. don't tell us what we're going to feel. i'm not telling us is issue a check days the year in no position didn't dictate what we're going to fail. you again, the use of people seeing you gambling with world war 3 and what you're doing is very dis, written disrespectful to the country, this country. and to you that to you are more that a lot of people say where they should have. you've got big trouble. so no, no. okay. not a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. i know you're not really oh, you're not winning this from the very beginning of the war. we've been a long and we sample. i said, thanks. you have the these can we gave you the president, 350000000000 dollar you will you for your military equipment, then you tell us,

i don't want to cease fire. i don't want to cease fire. that was with the a guy named bite and who is not a smart person. this is going to be great television. i was pretty shocking exchange and the white house there, but it's not really that's surprising. that's the landscape would have that kind of behavior. i mean, after all, he's used to being the by the administration's golden boy, he's re easiest to getting whatever he wants from the us government, but the times have changed. and now the trump administration is saying that the lensky is biting the hand that feeds him last friday. president zalinski was moments away from signing an economic lifeline. and instead, he put the card ahead of the horse and he bid the hand that is feeding in the united states and the american people are tired of putting the bill for this war. president trump wants to negotiate a deal, and unfortunately, it appears that president zalinski is not willing to do that just yet. well, a lot of people in the trump administration are saying that they have to be able to speak with someone at the helm of ukraine's government. it's actually ready to

negotiate. and zaleski just does not seem ready to do that on top of that. so once he keeps talking about security guarantees, we heard from you case a prime minister recently suggested sending british troops to ukraine as part of that security guarantee. but you weren't vice president j events. he doesn't agree with that. he says that this rare earth minerals deal is going to be the best security guarantee that someone's can can get. it can't come to the oval office and say, give us security guarantees. we won't even engage with you about what we're willing to give up. that's been the ukrainian pastor when that pastor changes as president trump said when they're willing to talk peace. i think present trouble with the 1st person to pick up the phone. the very best security guarantee is to give americans economic upside in the future of ukraine. that is a way better security guarantee than 20000 troops for from some random country that has a photo more in 30 or 40 years. this secured in guarantee. and also the economic guarantee for ukraine is to rebuild the country and ensure that america has

a long term interest. if you're not going to do that, if you come to the oval office in salt the president and refused to follow his plan for peace. once he didn't say, sorry or anything, he seems to be hiding his embarrassment behind silence because he hasn't even made any official comments about that stunt in the white house. since that happened aside from saying thank you to donald trump on twitter. but like i said before, the trump administration wants to work with someone who's ready to negotiate, who's ready for a peaceful resolution to the ukraine conflict. and based on once the once the recently told western leaders in london doesn't seem like he's the guy for that. he says that piece is far away on the horizon. do we'll do for an agreement to end. the war is still very, very far away and no one has started all these steps yet. the piece that we for see in the future must be just to honest and most importantly, sustainable. yes. so on the backdrop of all these events, we also heard from the kremlin spokesperson, dimitri pest, golf. well,

pointed out that no sort of negotiations between russia and ukraine can even happen before diplomatic relations are restored between the 2 countries. although none of that might even be necessary based on what trump has made cleared as a landscape. and he doesn't have the cards or the us vice president says zalinski needs to engage on paid fund details that washington and moscow are already working on call tomorrow and said, i am ready to adopt your plan for peace. you can come back. i think that if he called and had a serious proposal for how he was gonna engage in the process, look, there are details that really matter that we're already working on with the russians. we've already talked to some of our allies. he needs to engage seriously on the details. let's speak now to michael maloof, former senior security policy analyst at the us defense department, and michael, what impact would halting us military or aid to crane have on their battlefield capabilities? i figure, i think it would be almost immediate. uh the,

uh, the problem. the problem for ukraine is that they just don't. uh, they, they've relied on the united states or so long. europeans are having a hard time in getting it up. it's gonna take them, it will take the considerable waste of time to rev up to get all of the i get get the industry underway and i just think that they just couldn't make it without us assistance. and then that, as of course, looks like it's not for me happens, right. you said that the impact will be immediate, but there are some reports suggesting to ukrainian military could keep fighting for months without further u. s. military aid. where are those projections coming from? as well, they have, they have some residuals left over. they have uh, probably have stores and uh its storage. and uh, i think that uh, it wouldn't last very long as a, they wouldn't be able to sustain it. it would be a dwindling the problem situation for the ukrainians or military and the trump has

moved on. so he's, he's decided that he's no longer going to be working on this war. and he really wants to focus on more and more geostrategic effort with the, with the russians. and i think that that's where he, uh you will, but he wants to focus on him not being engaged in warfare. reset that ends the whiskey, clearly is not ready to deal with it but, but the reality is even the europeans can't help him right now. they, they just don't, they would have to wrap up their industries and then they're talking about it, they, they, uh they, they want to talk about raising the, the billions of hundreds of billions of, of a euro's. but that's always, that takes time by then, things have moved on. and i just don't, i just think it's unrealistic. the europeans are really broken. they don't have

a plan. they've had 3 years a to deal with this thing, and they have only failed. it's their wor, united states just added that enough of funding that yeah, to your point, there are several european countries and the you have plugs to massively ramp up military support for ukraine. i mean, what are the chances that they can even deliver a fraction of that given their own shaky economies? a god, it would not be it's, it's not very, very good. they, they are a, they have a very difficult time with their own industries. right now there's, there is predominantly in a recession and it, their industries are not working, that they would have to shift over to a more time production that effect. and that takes time. and there, and the people themselves in these countries are not, are lot for that. they don't want to be going to or was russia. so i think the deal

that the shop is offered is the best way out at this point. but you have a problem with, with zalinski, and he has to be replaced. and, and ultimately that's basically what it's going to try to work. all right, we're going to live with our mike, i'm a little former senior, a security policy analyst at the us defense department, michael, great to have you on. thank you. i a, some of the cranes remaining allies in london on sunday. the british prime minister pitched a plan to eventually deploy regional troops to ukraine like your storm are admitted . such an ambitious move will be impossible without washington support. those willing will intensified planning now with real urgency that you pay is prepared to practice with boots on the ground and planes in yeah. together with all this, europe must do the heavy listing but to support pace in appleton and to succeed. this effort must have strong us back

a long time. western allies are drifting apart over ukraine. president trump is accused europeans doing too little to bring security to their own continents. less as cuba sponsors across the region want to keep fueling the war. but it's all leading to an apparent collapse of the so called collective west. you should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through the chickens. and we've given them much more than europe in europe should have given more than us . because as you know, that's right there, that's the border. if i'm saying they just, they were a lot smarter than joe biden, because joe biden didn't have a clue. he just gave money hand over fist and they should have been able to equalize with us. in other words, if we gave a dollar, they should have given what we gave the $350000000000.00, they probably gave a 100 it's official. the west is now divided. there is the united states on one side and you are on the other. and the black sheep of the family is no longer

russia. we should spend less time worrying about putting in more time worrying about migrant rape games. drug lords murders and people from mental institutions entering our country so that we don't end up like europe. this is shawna slates a slap in the face to europe as it still recovering from that aspect meeting he had with vladimir zalinski. european leaders were shocked and appalled by the oval office brawl, some pets, things, the landscape and labeling trump and co bullies. while washington is trying to broker piece here of science firm behind the key version, declaring its support for the war to continue. maybe european leaders are still saw or over the us vice president's comments at the munich security conference, where he laid out within the been doing wrong, like suppressing free speech, losing control over immigration and refusing to work with a hard drive parties in office. and i believe deeply that there is no security

if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your very own people. you cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opponents or putting them in jail. we heard very clearly during vice president balance of speech in munich, different examples of how these european partners in long time allies in many cases are actually implementing policies that undermine democracy. that shows that they don't actually believe in the voices of the people being heard. and implementing anti freedom policies. we're seeing this in the united kingdom. we're seeing this in germany. we thought with a tossing out of the elections in romania. so there's something fundamentally deeper here that shows a huge difference in divergence between the values that president, trump, and vice president bass, are fighting for is going friction, is spilling out into different areas, jeopardizing the existence of major western organizations like nato and military alliance. that's supposed to guarantee world peace,

or at least peace for its members. the majority of whom are in europe. yes, it's the west, which is financing. most of them they chose means means that are no longer aligned with american interests, according to some like senator mike lee who has been begging the government to leave the blog sites in just how much it spends on a foreign goals and values. and he also wants the us to leave the united nations, in fact, peers and leading a group of lawmakers who introduced legislation calling for a complete withdrawal. after all, the one is another international organization made up of several countries, among which the he was is again, the biggest spender, and many are starting to wonder why including 11 mosque. it's time to leave nato and the you and i agree, has invested or to the un. i saw how the huge and wasteful you and bureaucracy took $19000000000.00 us taxpayer dollars every year and used them to advance its anti us

anti israel and pro terror agenda. this should end. it's still just about the money now. it's about the values which are no longer shared by europe and the us, something which was made very clear when the un secretary general didn't take washington's pro. israel stands against garza and have lost several times. and this led to many of the us government wondering why it's even supporting the united nations. no more blank checks for the united nations. americans, harder and dollars have been funneled into initiatives that fly in the face of our values, enabling tyrants betraying allies and spreading bigotry with the d fund act. we're stepping away from this debacle if we engage with the un in the future. it will be on our terms with the full backing of the senate and an iron clad escape clause actually is the trade or between europe and the u. s. and you have the perfect recipe for the voice or a separation at the very least. trump is going ahead with

a 25 percent increase in tires on european cars and all things as he said. but i love the countries of europe, of all countries, frankly, a little different. but unions been, it was formed in order to screw the assets available. let's be honest. the european union was formed in order to split the states. that's the purpose of it. and they've done a good job of it. but now i'm president. the wasn't for them to screw anyone. quite the opposite. it was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. as simple as that. as of now, it seems the long time allies differences outweigh any similarities with europe, and the us moving into completely different directions. now, while washington can afford the splits and the set to save a lot of money, the same time besides for europe as it likes the funding and authority that us

springs to the table. so it seems that in europe will have to make a tough choice, either back down or take a risk and go it alone. amid the deepening trans atlantic wrist, it appears a somewhat unlikely figure has emerged as a messenger for the european union in dealing with an increasingly own compromising washington tend to our website r t dot com for the full details on that plus funding morris story. turning now to central africa, i'm in it's rural with neighboring lawanda. the democratic republic of the congo has appealed to the us offering a lucrative deal. but it says will benefit both sides a u. s. d r. c. partnership with not only reinforce supply chain stability but also serve as a model of responsible and ethical resource development. one that aligns with american values in global leadership and secure and transparent trade. the moment

is right to deepen this relationship and formalize a long term economic and security partnership that benefits both nations presents and explicit gauge off at the c has indeed offered access to the country is minimal resources to the united states and exchange for security assistance to contact the into the city which is related to the fact 5, the one that is known is that the d s. c. position significant is of many roles such as gold to intact to them and cobalt. the democratic republic of congo is 1st in place 8 and 10 to the mining fund the we the like sort of one di, brazzel, nigeria, china as well. so the reserves from the d. r c really can attract many of the western countries. a force in the office manual is being smuggled into the one that illegally the d. c presidential spokesperson to nesa lama, saying that it's owned a sale deal offer and it doesn't really exist supports. it's also save that to the

united states, and you need to buy minerals from the c directory instead of getting it from the one that ever listen to this. setting the record straight president, she said katie invites the us, whose company source strategic raw materials from rolanda materials that are looted from the d. r c and smuggled to rolando, while our populations are massacred, to purchase them directly from us, the rightful owners. and it's not just for the us, the offer is also extended to europeans and to all parties involved in sourcing smuggled blood stained raw materials from rolanda. echoing the same sentiments, presidency kids, you criticized existing. you rotate negotiations, which one to describe in the agreement that gloss access to minerals like to and gold as a maximum scandal. the present says that those levels of i'll be planned to so i'm coming, it's a provocation and very bad taste. for one,

the continues to hide behind the m 23, which is why l do not talk to this terrorist group. my priority is peace. i want definitive piece for my country for that i am ready to put a pools on my will like desires on these people. save all these recent hours, but the president believes that this is the best solution for the conflict. and again, with offering his people's resources to wisdom is will help conbal is it to be seen with the emptiness city. it has continued its advance following the form of government and because of the capital of north ad solvece key. it is not me too much resistance from the company. and just a few days ago, at least 11 people were killed and 65 when did, when explosions rock to the city of chicago with the east of dc during a riley for the entering the city and so forth. is the united nation estimates that as many as 3000 people have been killed, many say the data a tool is much higher than that. you also know that the total displacement in the

entire region or rate is to add some more than $4000000.00 companies before the latest crisis, abrupt returning now to the middle east, where our regional leaders are preparing to sit down in egypt to mall over a post war reconstruction plan for gaza. the era move is aimed to counter the us. presidents claim that he wants to take over the palestinian enclave and displace all of its people. however, ahead of the emergency summit and cairo a linked draft has sidelined to the incumbent leadership of gaza. there will be no major international funding for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of gaza. if i moss remains the dominant, an arm political element on the ground controlling local governance, the so called egyptian plan for gaza is a direct alternative to trump's controversial proposal. from last month, a draft, one outlines and major shift in governance for the guys,

a strip one that would remove a mass from power and establish a civilian lead governing body to overseas. too many tearing, 8 and reconstruction. this social supports could make a would operate without a fixed timeline cig like a long term plan for post 4 guys on the post for our blood control comes in response to drums, widely condemned idea of really taking over a 1000000 gallons to countries like jordan at age of a plan rejected strongly by arab nations. trump even floated the idea of named gaza and turn it into a middle east riviera, fueling global backlash. chimplan guarantees the palestinians must remain in guys them. no further details will be revealed until the proposal was formally presented, discussed and approved by arab leaders on tuesday in cairo, egyptian for ministers trust. this is what he said earlier about the plans importance, the money to be only guaranteed to break the cycle of this repetitive violence and

assaults is for political horizon to be present to him and to give hope to the palestinian people that they are legitimate. aspirations can be achieved in establishing their independent states on all of their national soil. and the reconstruction plan is a practical plan with specific short term timeframe. so that is completely doable and achievable without the need to displace any citizen outside their land either to the amount of the plans, the biggest challenge. well, money, of course the $1.00 estimates that rebuilding guys are will cost more than $50000000000.00. cool for the bill. unclear many assume golf stays will take the lead, but there is no clear commitment to yet and other critical gaps. the proposal doesn't specify whether it will be implemented before or after. a permanency spy is reached between israel and him. us. meanwhile, a senior high mazda official rejected the plan outright before it was in prison. ready that it and kyra which is rather ironic, has neither israel neu, junction plan include him, mice and god as future take us in the day after and gaza must only be decided by

the palestinians from us, rejects any attempt to impose projects or any form of non palestinian administration or the presence of any foreign forces on the land of the gaza strip . boltron who has been waiting for our stay so proposed they run solution has made it clear repeatedly. he stands by his own plan. while tuesdays cairo's summit to be a critical task can arab nations and wait on a roadmap that challenges external proposals while securing the future for gather on their own terms. let's wait and see. meanwhile, the past few dies have been really tens cents a day mark. the end of the initial phase of this east, by agreement, but talks on what happens next steps told us as it's ready to move to the 2nd stage during which is really military would be required to leave gas. but israel wants to extend the 1st phase and has introduced with calls and you us back sees far a plan, a different proposal from the want agreed upon in january to force him off into

excess and had to throw has tightened. it's great phone guys are looking at all humanitarian age to the street is really forces have launched. attacks on the southern guys are killing police to palestinians. and one thing for ya, there is little pressure. these mountain intentions are escalating out of this new plan. the ceasefire would remain in place during the entire holy month of ramadan and jewish pass over mass would release half of the me hostages on day one, with the rest fried after a permanent truces negotiated. but him ass rejects this proposal. say it prefers to stick with the original agreement, which called for all hostages to be released in exchange for a full idea of withdrawal from the gas. a street on monday is really a prime minister and defense minister issued a start warning to have mass. you remember how must i say to homos? you don't release or hostages, there will be consequences. you cannot imagine to hold them off. i'm not. if i'm honest, is not released. the hostages to the gates of guns a will be lost,

and the gates of hell open. we will return to fighting and they will encounter the itf with mike and in ways they have never know until complete victory. we will never allow him us to control guns in january to whole. so on monday, the us secretary of defense reaffirm full support for israel and speaking with hayes is really counterparts about regional security and military cooperation. the message from washington quite clear that you asked remains 100 percent committed to israel security and emphasizes the unbreakable bond between the 2, the 2 nations. so as well is determined and supported, which makes it really hard for him afterwards. is the question now is how long can be held out? at least 61 palestinians have reportedly died in his really presence since the gods of war began. many detainees, including one who recently passed away, have been held without charge. survivors have shared harrowing accounts of alleged

torture they faced. here's just one such distressing story of a palestinian recently released under the fragile israel homos ceasefire. deal the some of the young men were taken captive while the rest of the people were released towards the south. awesome, massive fine if they accuse me of knowing the whereabouts of the kidnapped individuals and the fighters, they wanted me to lead to them the size of them and they pulled it on me and placed it in the container,

then dumped my head into it twice. they also extinguished cigarettes on my body, sprayed and freshen is on me and sent me on fire, causing my entire back to burn. while they continued beating me with a weapon they would carry the best sort of candidate and my i was affected by the chemicals. the acid and chemicals close to an open wound which later became infected in fest. nothing was available, not even medical treatment, which we could only get with great difficulty. they would bring dogs into the rooms to attack us beetles and then give us the treatment of to the to save with us here on our to international. i'm back with more news and half an hour by the.
