under your leadership, usaid has done more to deal with these issues about tied aid. tied aid is a requirement that you as eight dollars, when they go someplace, are essentially used not to buy locally, but buy something that has to do with american products. so that some of our aid money when it goes abroad turned back to the u.s. a bit. and with an administration and a president that focuses on american first, to make sure the american economy benefits, how does reducing this requirement on tied aid and sending more american money abroad to be used in local markets, does that jive -- markets? does that jive well in the administration? mr. green: let me unpack that. in food aid, food security, feed the future is the flagship program. we support flexibility. in some cases, you have functioning local markets where it makes sense to provide financial assistance either directly in cash or through each e-transfers to keep the markets vibrant and reinforce local production. there are places where there are not functioning markets and in those cases, traditional food aid is

what that state and what usaid is doing, what do you think? mark has spent his entire career thinking about issues in the third world and the developing world. he sees it as an investment in the future. an reality is he works for administration that sometimes sees it as a drain on taxpayer money. he faces big budget cuts in congress keeps restoring the aid, but it is a continuing battle, strong voices in the white house that want to have 30%, 40% cuts in foreign aid, and ultimately he is working at the pleasure of the president. so he will have to go along in in.direction he is steered he his trying to do it in as structured and responsible a manner as he can, i think. : this administration, cabinet secretaries, top officials, i think it has been proven that if you try to but tt heads try to bu with the president, you will be on twitter and you will be out. and if you have learned how to coming intowithout public conflict with the president, or denigrating the president you are getting from the administration, then you can accomplish a lot mor

[laughter] >> administrator green, i think it's important that this audience and the audience understands all of the work that aid does. i don't think it is fully appreciated. and i think the congresswoman was referring to it. but you are doing an incredible amount of work and pushing against these very bad regimes. mr. green: a few things. first off, this session really came out of a gathering i had in miami

-- [ speaking foreign language ] he's the professor at usaid, that's what usaid stands for and carl stands for, but i would love to give the trump administration books like -- is rosa maria here? >> yes. >> let's hold up that book. oh, my gosh. her dad's book. wow. carlos, where are you? where's your book? i have it. i don't know where my purse is. whoever has my purse, i have no money, so you can keep it. here we go. [ speaking foreign language ] i mean, they are just some incredible human rights pro ponents. all of you in this audience are those ambassadors and i thank you for everything you're doing. i think the trump administration is doing everything right internationally, but yes, as a former schoolteacher, i would give them a few more homework assignments. i will leave that for mark and carl and you, dan. i'll give a list of suggested readings. we'll start with those two books. >> thanks, ileana. thank you. administrator greene, i think it's really important that this audience and the audience outside understand all of the work that usaid does. i think the congresswoman was r

i appreciate the ways in which usaid is working to protect this vulnerable population. what challenges has usaid come across in its work to prevent gender-based violence and how can congress help you overcome these issues? >> thank you very much for your question, and yes, sadly, it is a fact of modern warfare that the victims that are hurt the most are women and children and the crisis that we're looking at and talking about right now in syria, many can say it is a protection crisis for all of the vulnerable people, idps multiple times over and the number of widows and orphans is astounding in that population and we are very dedicated to making sure that every one of our humanitarian assistance programs integrates protection for women and children into those -- that program, but also last year we spent $28 million on programming specifically to protect women and children that looks like sometimes it's as simple as creating safe space% women and girls to be away from other parts of the community. it involves training health care workers, training educator, training teac

usaid doing work around the world diploma. diplomacy. all this rest. there is -- and i firmly believe this and i've seen it in having the privilege of being able to interact with folks around the world in the jobs i have, there's an idea of america that it stands for something different than the totalitarian, quasi totalitarian regimes out there. one of the essential elements it's truth, justice and the american way, right? >> truth comes first. >> truth comes first. if we don't model truth from the highest echelons of this government, that has a palpable impact on how the world perceives us, how other governments perceive us, how people who are trying to encourage to work with us perceive us. it has an impact. it isn't just a ratings game, it is real life and it makes a difference and it isn't -- it isn't necessarily tangible in the immediate instant, but in the long run it is going to -- it will -- it harms our national security. >> all right. i want start in opposite order and then i'm going to turn to the audience for questions. so, les, if you had

from david petraeus, a former member of the egyptian parliament and former officials with the cia and usaid. we're expect iing the discussio to start at 1:45 p.m. eastern time. while we wait for it to begin, here's some of the conference from yesterday on israel and palestine. >> thank you very much. this is a wonderful gathering. i pay tribute to your organization for being able to bring it. no one has tried to hold a meeting this big. i can understand how hard it is. so it's a wonderful thing. thank you for inviting me. we have a wonderful panel and i'm sure they will be coming soon. speaking of our generation of people who have been toiling in this field for a long time. i'm not going to start with a joke. the times are too somber for that, but i want to start with a quotation from 1942. he said something that's pertinent o to this panel and perhaps this whole gathering. the struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill the heart. we must imagine happy. we get up every day and start anew in a strutting that's not so easy, but it has its rewards. and the people on this panel on pal

i totally agree with you and i think mark green of usaid has a great plan. >> greg: i think a lot of these problems are due to how the media position of the issues. juan brings up the fact that no one brings up the economy. it's because the economy is great right now. you're going to have 3.5% to 4% growth. the media doesn't like to talk about planes that land safely. they can only report on planes that crashed. the good news about the economy mysteriously is no news on the other networks. we tried to talk about it here but it's often ignored because it is such good news. now let's talk about immigration. donald trump had to set the issue up at the beginning as a strain on the system. the reason is, the media believes you can only hold two positions. you can either say we are a nation of immigrants or hits a nation under siege. the fact is what human beings hold up portfolio of positions regarding everything, like immigration, you can hold a bunch of different positions on crime. i can be for the death penalty but think drugs should be legalized. you can have a portfolio of interests

military to last if we don't back up their efforts with robust work through the state department and usaid engagements. what's more, terrorist capacities are evolving with increased concerns over cyber attacks or the use of weapons of mass destruction like a chemical attack. we are still working tirelessly to make a lasting, significant dent in threats. the request for last funding to meet these new demands gives me pause to say the least. i'm also saddened as threats for terrorism are actually getting worse in afghanistan and as the conflict and humanitarian crisis in yemen wears on at the expense of tens of thousands of lives lost and millions impacted, producing the perfect stage for extremism to take root for generations to come. neither of these countries received the intention in kanter is is a it -- in counterterrorism strategies in the regions where the fighters of travel to or where there's so-called caliphate's have emerged. you have an important job. our government has struggled for a long time trying to get counterterrorism right and the stakes are high and americans are victim

you served in, you know -- at the usaid, center on foreign relations committee. should we be worried about this informal alliances and, you know, kids and extremists getting together on-line? is this a real concern? if it is, is our current environment making it better or worse and if it's making it worse, what do we do? >> well, so many ways to answer that. how much time do we have? i don't think human nature is changing. >> okay. >> i think we're basically the same construct we were a couple generations ago. we have new technology. we have easier ways to communicate. i think we need to kind of remember who we are as the united states of america. yes, we have a government, but we are a government of the people. david, i know, can attest he served in the administration and now he doesn't. you and i served in the administration. now we don't. you serve a government. the real source of power in this country is the people. we shouldn't think -- we shouldn't have the arrogance to think we should be manipulating our people or reigning them in or constraping them -- >>

they found that funding has now been terminated but it's very interesting in this report is that the usaid watchdog does not name the n.g.'s now of course one of those primary n.g.o.s will be the white house probably one of the most primitive. and i can i and these are n.g.o.s and he's working on the ground in syria basically providing the prostate cancer and the corporation of the regime change current policy surely the u.s. should first of all be left on economic sanctions and it should be if it's necessary be collaborating with the syrian government to provide aid to the areas where it's most needed i don't expect this to happen irregardless it's a sick and sad joke on the american taxpayer trillions of their hard earned money spent on the war on terror originally on defeating al qaida and all the while they've been paying to feed and finance those very same jihad ists the news continues here in r t international after the short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one foundation let it be an arms race is on often spearing dramatic development o
