geoff: today the u.n.tinian agency says it is providing humanitarian aid in gaza as well as the occupied west bank and east jerusalem despite a ban that went into effect yesterday. an israeli law passed in october forbids them from operating on israeli land and forbids contact with israeli authorities. nick shiffrin has more. nick: amra was established after the creation of the state of israel to serve the palestinian population. it has come to provide some six million palestinians in gaza and the occupied territories not only humanitarian assistance but education and healthcare. they help commit the hamas terror attacks israel says. the u.n. has said nine amra staff may have been involved and were fired. to understand the future, we get two views. the director of amra's washington, d.c. office and asa farayem with the israeli defense forces now a fellow with the washington institute for middle east policies. welcome to the news hour let me start with you. what is going on with amra as we said earlier ther

the u.n. security council briefing on refugees of the usual hamas war and efforts to provide relief to win from officials on some of the challenges the agencies facing. u.s. and israeli representatives told the security council that the relief agency has ties to hamas and suggested shifting its efforts to otherer organization. >> good morning. the 9852nd meeting of the security council is called to order. the provisional agenda for this meeting is situation in middle east, including the palestinian question. the agenda is adopted. in accordance with rule 57 of the council provisional rules of procedures, the president of the security council will invite the representatives of egypt, iceland, israel, jordan, senegal and spain to participate in this meeting. it is so decided. i propose thatt the council invite observer state of palestine to the united nations to participate in this meeting. in accordance with the provisional rules of procedure and the previous practice in this regard. there bein

involvement with the u.n. human rights council and defunded the u.n. aid unit. some of the staffers accused of funding terrorists including the terror attack on israel by hamas. >> well, of course no decent person should be funding the u.n. council on human wrongs. it's like funding the kkk. you have countries like iran running the council. they condemn only israel and the united states and they never ever condemn the countries that commit genocide, so i'm very happy that the united states is getting out of the u.n. council and human rights. liz: yeah, they've been accused of whitewashing human rights abusers for years including nations like unwa and the u.n. human rights, including nations like iran so when you look at this , the president was also talking about relocating people out of gaza. now, media is not going to cover this. we're getting information from d.c. sources that trump is absolutely correct. gaza is filled with land mines, boobie traps, ied's and it's extremely dangerous and now the headlines are trump wants to rip people in gaza away from their

the u.n.ecretary general antonio guterres at the 2020 economic forum in doubles, switzerland, he talked about the threats he sees from climate change as well as unchecked development of artificial intelligence. this is about half an hour. hour. >> welcome to one of the highlights of her annual meeting. it is an honor and privilege to welcome you back -- to davos the secretary general of the united nations. he said the purpose of the cement was to bring multilateralism back from the brink. the adaptation of the pact for the future was a pivotal moment to focus minds and attention on our collective response to changing the world. this year at the united nations, we celebrate the 80th year. a testament to the vitality of the organization and its centrality for multilateral corporations. united nations is more united than ever and thank you for your leadership. it is clear that global corporation is stagnating but the most pressing issues we are faced with still lead us to collaborate because the

human rights council and ended all of the support for the u.n. relief and works agency which funneled the money to hamas and which was very disloyal to humanity. today i also took action to restore a maximum pressure policy on the iranian regime and we will once again enforce the most aggressive possible sanctions, drive iranian oil exports 20, and diminish the regime's capacity to fund terror throughout the region and throughout the world. we had no threat when i left office. iran was not able to sell oil. nobody was buying oil because i said don't buy it. if you buy it, you're not doing any business with the united states. has below is not being funded, nobody was being funded. there would never have been in october 7. two weeks ago i once again designated the houthis as a terrorist organization. they are trying to destroy world shipping lanes, and that's not gonna happen. over the weekend i ordered air against senior isis leader's hiding in the caves of somalia and took them out. here in america we have begun the process of deporting foreign t

and katie, as you know, president trump has long railed against the u.n.into question how much funding the u.s. will be able to contribute to the u.n. he says that they're not the u.s. is not looking to take away any money from the u.n, but it should be funded by everyone. and this is a central part of the president's foreign policy. and that he says, in his words, that the u.s. continues to get, quote, ripped off by other countries. and so this executive order could, you know, put funding in the us's membership in the u.n. somehow in jeopardy. so, again, we're still waiting to get the exact details on that as we wait for that video of the president in the oval office to be played out. another executive order is that he he is on iran. he seeks to exert maximum pressure on iran. it's aimed to sanction iranian programs on terrorism, according to these notes. and it also gives the president of the united states tools to engage with the iranian government. trump telling reporters that this is an executive order that he believes is tough on iran, but that he wi

the u.n. charter, international law, including international humanitarian law, and the principles of sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity of states. meanwhile, developing countries are an -- are in economic dire straits. some are facing double digit inflation rates while interest payment are up 27% of all government revenues. on every front, our system of governance are often ill-equipped to deal with these challenges. many were bill for a different era, a different economy, a different world. we are working to reform institutions for the 21st century from the global financial architecture to the u.n. security council. to basic aspects of our summit of the future. but reforming institutions requires reforming mindsets, because we face big challenges, existential challenges, and i'm not convinced others get it. yes, we all understand the nature of an existential threat. those of us who lived through the cold war remember living under the constantia doe of nuclear annihi

tom: unra is the largest of the u.n.perations working in gaza and it is the backbone of the operation, particularly in the education and health sectors and no other agency or organization frankly including the palestinian authority can step in and deliver education at that scale. but they are operating across the region and those are continuing unimpeded. geoff: the trump administration is in the process of hollowing out usaid. what will be the effect of that? tom: i don't think you build a golden age by retreating from the world. the u.s. has been a humanitarian superpower for decades now. almost half of the humanitarian campaigns funded by the americans. i think they can ask us to be more innovative but without that support -- i hope this is only a temporary freeze -- we will not reach tens of millions of people who in the past have been supported by the generosity of the american government and the american people. geoff: how are gazans responding to president trump's idea for the u.s. to take ownership of gaza for it

and the u.n., the u.n. doesn't have any jurisdiction over the united kingdom. but the u.n. said not only do you have to give it back, but you don't give it back to the people of the chagos islands. you give it back to another group of islands way down here called mauritius. mauritius used to own the chagos islands when france ceded them to great britain. they were run by mauritius. but the people of the two island groups, the pa lagos, the people don't have any affinity. what does mauritius say? of course we'll take it but they want to start charging the united states and u.k. 9 billion pounds for a 99-year lease. so we can lease our own military base all because the prime m minister of the united kingdom feels guilty because somebody, some tofu-eating rokorati at the united nations says they're bad people, bad, bad, bad clone yiss -- colonialists. and the prime minister of the united kingdom, he's going along with it. but he says, i'm negotiating with mauritius and the people -- the leader of mauritius just issued a press release. yes, he's negotiating. he's increased the

the u.n.or hamas. turns out one of the hostages said i was kept in an unrwa facility. really? so the u.n. is not in bed with hamas? but they kept the hostages in unrwa senility he goes we are done with it. off the human rights council. we are not funding you guys anymore. this is exactly what netanyahu was trying to say. the u.n. has turned against us, so when they come in to bring peace, they are actually bringing disorder same thing lebanon. they worked for the lebanese. >> lawrence: i was struck by multiple things from the president. one thing he does not want war. he kept saying it over. he wants the best for all countries. he wants them to work -- even when he signed yesterday in the oval office the maximum pressure campaign against iran i don't want to have to seen. this but this is where we are at. and agree or disagree with the idea that he presented, he was talking about a new day for the palestinian people. and that's one thing. they haven't had hope, all these kids from birth hate a

the u.n. would control it for three years. and then in may of 2002, we were able to go back to timor that night, did a broadcast the day of their independence and we called noam and noam said. i never believe that this moment would come telling us the truth though he it showed how remarkable he was because for all of those decades that he covered east that he wrote about east timor and the fact that he said he had did not really have hope that the people of east would be free and he continued to educate all over the world. so it was just about. xanana gusmao had been imprisoned by the indonesian military for years ascended the stage speaking and four languages would make noam proud, putting everyone else to shame. and he unfurled the flag of the democratic republic of timor. there was a fireworks. you could see the light riffles acted in the tear stained faces of. the surviving people of east timor and we talked to noam at that moment and thanked him for shining a light for people outside of timor, had the bravest were the peo

of first and foremost two-state solution talk about u.n. any million u.n.school in herk not functionally possible who is illed supposed to negotiate palestinian authority? i don't think so their leadership is significantly older no clear line of transition to who is going to take over next you can't cut a deal with them i think what president trump is talking about is working with israel and other allies, and friends in that region, in order to to clean gaza up under u.s. leadership, not direct u.s. decision-making but u.s. a leadership working with countries in the region, to get gaza in the position where number one it is rebuilt number two, it is not a safe haven for hamas or any other terrorist front group you got to have astounded leadership, security in that part of the world. so that palestinians and palestinian children actually grow up in an area, where they can actually learn without being indoctrinated can build an enterprise without fear being taken away from them in my view what president trump is taning about case that something can be achieve

from the u.n. human rights council. authorized a maximum pressure campaign on iran and said this about gaza. >> president trump: the u.s. will take over the gaza strip. it is a hellhole right now and we'll give people a chance to live in a beautiful community that's safe and secure. >> martha: trey yingst in tel aviv with more on remarks that are clearly getting a lot of reaction in the region. first let's go to lucas tomlinson at the white house with the latest push to gut government. good morning, lucas. >> good morning, martha. president trump has signed 54 executive orders since returning to the white house and as you mentioned the department of education could be next. peter doocy asked the president about this in the oval office yesterday. >> on the education department, why nominate linda mcmahon to be the education department secretary if you will get rid of the education department? >> president trump: i told linda. i hope you do a great job and put yourself out of a job. we spend more per pupil than any other

and leaders must reflect on how far the world has strayed from the u.n.'ding principal. -- founding principles. this is a bleak picture. but it's not yet irreversible. there is a big chance that this time next year, we will be moving the hands of the clock back, not forward. but this will only, only happen if leaders engage in good-faith dialogue. recalling the words of nelson mandela, the founder of the elders, "the most powerful weapon in the world is to sit down and talk." the solutions we need to confront the existential threats we face are all connected by a simple truth -- we can only succeed if we act as one. it is with great sadness that just a few weeks ago we said farewell to a true champion of this ideal -- president jimmy carter. a founding member of the elders. president carter was driven by a profound moral clarity so sorely missing among many leaders today. and in the weeks since i attended his funeral here in washington, i have often been reminded of his words. "the bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears

he has taken action against these other u.n. agencies that hate america and hate israel.ngs. yes, he is the greatest friend israel has ever had in the white house. >> sandra: response to that. >> i think the president's track record speaks for itself. and the prime minister laid out a few of those. 20 years of american policy to move advocacy from tel aviv to jerusalem. and put that offer recent suppose said security concerns. president trump came into office 2017 and on-did that and sovereign territory. all this despite accusations or the war in the region would be inflamed and a war would break out. of course, historic abraham accords. the president shows a true state of israel is peace through strength and showing the u.s. and israel aligned and no daylight, the great things can be accomplished. it is great to see the present in the white house at a particular crucial time for israel's security and the middle east to have this friend in the white house for the state of israel. >> sandra: daniel a lot of reaction pouring into president trump plans for the u.s. to take o

but we know that usaid exempted u.n. agencies who vet who gets the money in places like gaza. so we're talking potentially maybe the taliban, you know, talking a hamas and other terrorist groups could have pulled in nearly $1.4 billion in total under biden a alone. that's at lot of money. >> elizabeth,s all this money is going to fund leftist gravy train. and so democrats aren't outraged by this. what they're outraged by is elon musk, he's unelected, and their allies in the legacy media have all misplaced outrage about an unelected person. again, the bureaucrats are unelected. they're not accountable to anybody. they don't provide the american public information through their elected representatives here in congress. who else can investigate that? again with, i applaud elon musk and the trump administration, i applaud president trump for taking bold, swift and decisive action to start reining all this stuff in. this is why he was elected. elizabeth: yeah. s it's really shocking. i don't think the u.s. taxpayer voted for any of their money to to go to fund terrorists overseas.

for the companies that produce weapons for the u.n. in the states and they are highly dependent capital investment from the titans to ensure their share military is and lucrative annual budget. the defense industry spends $126 billion on lobbying that in 2022. that was according to open secrets. and more than 72% of the lobbyists are former government officials. so that's, a, there's a revolving there, so to speak. the titans are closely involved with the world economic forum, which seeks to protect capitalism by the world's environmental problems, climate change, threats of war and global inequality. they want to promote better capitalism that, seeks to address these appalling crises. what they more menu word called appalling crisis through conscious based management called stakeholder capitalism, corporations are encouraged to engage in profit making and wealth consolidation, but are encouraged to keep in mind of environmental, social and governance awareness. that's esg esg, the goal of the world economic forum. stakeholder capitali

from the israel hating u.n. human rights israel and u.s. u.n. human rights council agency.id disturbing reports that iran could already have north korean designed nuclear missiles that would be capable of hitting europe. the president was asked about that today, take a look. >> how close are they to developing nuclear weapons? >> i think they are close. they are too close. but again, you could go back for years and i would have said they would have had it during this intervening period. but they are pretty close, peter. >> sean: herewith more, the u.s. special envoy to the middle east, steve witkoff is with us, good to see you. to big messages that i see tonight. number 1, iran can never and will never have a nuclear weapon. number 2, gaza, which has been destroyed, can no longer be a launching pad for hamas or other radical islamist terrorists. and knowing donald trump as i do, tell me if i'm wrong, is he not telling the middle east that it is time for you to step up and absorb the population of the palestinian people and rebuild this and demilitarize this area? >> first o

israel's ambassador to the u.n. demanding the u.n. condemn hamas for war crimes.ow. mr. ambassador, thank you for joining us. i have to ask you, when you first saw these three men emerge from captivity, what was the first thing you thought when you saw them? >> good morning. i was shocked. i was shocked because for more than a year, they claimed there was starvation in gaza, but the real starvation is the starvation of the hostages. when we saw the faces of the hostages, it looked like they came out from a concentration camp, you know? those ima imagines -- images show us the brutality of hamas. and i think today we got a reminder with whom we are dealing. and you showed a picture, he was praying every day to come back and meet his family, and when he came act back, he found out that his wife, his two teenage daughters and his brother were massacred on october 7th. so we know who we are dealing, and we are determined to continue the fight and to finish the job. we have no other option, to eliminate hamas. that is the only answer when we see those images coming out

ruling and its approval at the u.n. says this is an illegal occupation that needs to be dismantled in a year's time. it may not, but we need to see steps towards going forward. this is the responsibility that says the free world and respect international law to move ahead with it. it is enshrined in international law. and if we as we accept annexation and breach of borders and grabbing more land in palestine, then that's a breach of international law. >> in terms of the economic picture, do you think with now the ceasefire -- because the situation economically and is worse than it was two years ago. are there any initiatives that are stakeholders, be it governmental or private sector on the economy that you would like to point to? >> despite the gloomy situation and we have seen this in the past in palestine, the economy can be revived. but to revive the chi, you need political stability and need to have access and move freely. it is a political track that will take us with a time frame that will take us into that direc

human rights council and ended all of the support for the u.n.ch funneled money to hamas, which was very disloyal to humanity. today i also took action to restore maximum pressure policy on the iranian regime and we will once again enforce the most aggressive possible sanctions, drive iranian oil exports to zero and diminish the regime's capacity to fund terror throughout the region and throughout the world. we had no threat when i left office. iran was not able to sell oil. nobody was buying oil because i said don't buy it. if you buy it, you are not doing any business with the united states. and hamas was not being funded. hezbollah was not being funded. nobody was being funded. there would infer have been october 7th. two weeks ago trying to destroy world shipping leans that's not going to happen. this weekend i ordered airstrikes senior isis leaders hiding in the caves of somalia and took them out. here in america began the process of deporting foreign terrorists and hamas sympathizers have our soil just as we have people who are extremely ev

every allegation of starvation or famine have been discredited including by the human bodies -- the u.ny were based on incomplete information, and where those reports have -- >> doctors would deny it who are there and on the ground and treating people for malnutrition. >> i would advocate you and others read the recent paper that has gone through chapter and verse of all of those reports and has demonstrated on publicly available information that records the volume of international aid going into the gaza strip, the volume of aid, and the calorie count in excess of nhs guidelines. >> we could go back over that ground, but there are plenty of people that disagree with the point you are making about the number of trucks that went in and the amount of a distributive. we are up against the clock. thank you very much for coming on the program. you might have some thoughts about that. feel free to get in touch with us as ever by the usual channels. around the world and across the u.k., you are watching bbc news. ♪ ♪ >> let's return to the press conference between donald trump and the japanese

enforceable, but which would be consistent with international refugee doctrine, such as that followed by the u.nommissioner for refugees, says resettlement is a far better option than staying in a refugee camp. christian: you are right, one of the main fault lines that runs through the cease-fire is the lack of any future for gaza, and future governance for gaza. but what would it mean for the united states relationship with the arab world, egypt, jordan, saudi arabia, if the plan is to move them out of gaza against their will? >> that couldn't be the plan. i don't think even trump thinks that. the problem is trump announces it in public without consulting with anybody. the palestinians have been mistreated, for decades, by the arab states, beginning with their radical arab states in the 1950's and 1960's that wanted to keep them close to israel, so that when israel was driven into the sea, the palestinian refugees could be a part of it and go back home. it turns out israel is not going to be driven back to the sea, but none of the arab states have been willing to take any significant number of
