we look back at the years at change the cost of history, the $19.00 forcing still it's made a on the business. they told me the news live from ballot, and one of us president donald trump's top aides is to leave his position. us media reporting that national security advisor mike was, will be placed after is involved accidentally of sensitive membership plans over the signal messaging. also on the program, the trump administration. how's it as a commitment to ukraine, the to side sign, a minerals fail long in the matrix? it's expected to give us access to ukraine's fast natural resources and send the signal to the russian policing to classes. may they protest those hundreds of

dictates as a time knox on is done. both texts and square figures, such as the weights of demonstration. since the rest of its man, there's a pump to the opposition. the, the, i'm feel okay. welcome to the program. we started in the united states way media reporting that donald trump's national security advisor, mike wall system, the is position, as well as face calls to resign. after being involved in setting up a chat on the non secure messaging, i'm signaled by sensitive ministry operations would be this discussed that your list was accidentally added to the task report se still works. his deputy onyx wall is also to leave all over the middle. we straight to washington, then we can join that corresponds janelle de malone. welcom edgen now. so is

confirmed. um do we presume that uh mr. walters departure on this signal leak connected. we do fail as you say, this all goes back to the signal gate to where mike waltz accidentally added a report or 2 that signal group chat where air strikes against their booties were being discussed. so that was back in march. it was a very big scandal. now initially, president trump stood up by my quotes, at least publicly behind the scenes. the word really was that he was very angry at my faults, that he blamed him for the reporter being added to this chat and this part of the scandal becoming public. incidentally, he was angry or at waltz, then he was at the defense secretary peak heads up, who was the one outlining these war plans in this saw in this, in sick your shot. so this really does appear like an incident where mike waltz was

unable to recover his standing with the president. on top of that, there were also prominent voices in the president's ear, calling on trump to dump life waltz, saw the chief among them laura loom, or that is a far right internet personality to also sometimes acts as trump. so what have trumps the external advisors? so it would really seem like the writing was on the wall from mike won't solve for awhile. if he does go, it would work. the 1st high profile departure of this administration. president, trump may say something on it soon, and that is something that we are standing by for. okay, so still to be concerned, but if confirmed what sort of effect is likely to have on us foreign policy? this is a really key question because national security advisor, of course, a very important post. they said just a few steps away from the president at the white house. and we are at a critical juncture. we just saw this mineral mineral steel being agreed between

the us and you crane that you was still trying to mediate a peace deal between ukraine and russia. and these kinds of negotiations. of course, it's helpful if there's a certain kind of predictability consistency that ukrainians and russians know who is representing the u. s. of these talks. there is also this question of who might replace him. now mike waltz was known to be someone who was a bit more of a traditional republican hawk. in that he might have been more critical of russia in more sympathetic to ukraine. his departure would open up the possibility that he's replaced by someone who's more aligned with um, the mag view of things. so somebody who would be more anti us intervention in for and conflicts. now if you're you praying, that might make you a bit nervous. so i did mention that minerals deal already and they did see that as a positive step in us ukrainian relations,

which we know has seen its fair share of challenges. so a change and this position could present a future issues perhaps in this relationship. and that would be something ukraine is concerned about. my thoughts about janelle data because wanted to help them alone, a washington. the less i'm looking at dale, that such a now mentions you, claiming that the united states have a great a d, a which is expected to gave washington access to ukraine's mineral deposits. washington says it is a signal of its commitments to ukrainian sovereignty. the trump administration has been pushing forward a steel for some time initially under terms of key that was set to view as extortionate both sides and handling the revised agreement, which was signed in washington on wednesday. after months of tens negotiations, ukraine and the us inc. a minerals deal, washington has long demanded compensation for the billions in aid it's given to

keith. now the trump administration has secured preferential access to ukraine's mineral resources and an equal share with ukraine's government and exporting them view. it says the deal is a message to russia. today's agreement signals clearly to russian leadership that the trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free sovereign and prosperous ukraine over the long term. according to the ukrainian geological survey, the country has large deposits of minerals. these include graphite and lithium, used in batteries for electric vehicles, and titanium, and is there coney, i'm used in aerospace. there are also deposits of rare earth metals. ukraine says the deal is a win win decent says that the lease is a strategic deal for the creation of an investment partnership funding. it's truly an equal and good international deal and showing the investment and the development

and restoration of ukraine between the governments of the united states and ukraine . ukraine managed to negotiate away several punishing terms from earlier drafts. the deal doesn't give us businesses special privileges over european investors that could have for ukraine's a membership bid. and it won't be asked to compensate the us for its previous assistance. harsher terms were on the table. wednesday lensky visited trump. in february, the meeting was a diplomatic disaster. president vladimir zalinski wanted security guarantees from the us on that still off the table. but trump says the new deal will discourage hostilities. it's also good for them because you'll have an american presence at the cypress. and the american presence will keep a lot of bad actors out of the country or certainly had in the area where we joined, digging so such signing. the deal may have been the easy part. some other resources

lie in russian occupied territory. ukraine says those reserves are worth 350000000000 year rose. lot correspond to nick connelly in k, if is read the text of the agreement. so we asked him what the us is likely to get out of it. as we all have been scowling this doctrine, which is only about a dozen pages long compared to the 19th or so it pays the previous draft. and it seems pretty thin on things that we've heard more recently that basically more detailed in kind of detail heavy technically payment will still be upcoming. so it seems like lots of differences being talked with each of it. basically, this allows donald trump to claim a when say that he's achieved something his 1st 100 days in office, that he is recruiting some of the money that ukraine's receive in terms of assistance. but obviously there is a big question about when he is what happens any of these investments in mining take decades even in peaceful times and the results to the major question of without security guarantees, without nathan membership, all for an invest as us investors really gonna put all that money,

that capital upfront into developing the resources, if they, your company showed that letting me put you won't be back in couple years time to take that off to the colored ink, if not to, to key with police. have detained hundreds of people in a stumble of the confrontations between protest doesn't know far as it may 1st demonstrations. the streets have been closed around the cities, tax and square when i protest, i've been funds since 2013 metro lines with also enclosed in fairies suspended. i mean the latest demonstrations echoed the disruption that followed. the march arrest the president of the ones made political arrival. they stumble 60 men at trump in mammals straight to the assembled enjoy that correspondent you with your hon. welcome. you. as i understand that this police brought law lock down with a preventative measure and demonstrates has turned up anyway. what, what else are as is afraid of? well the turkish government obviously wants to prevent mos demonstration,

similar to the ones we've seen recently in march right after the detention and gaming of as symbols. opposition may a crumb email move was still widely seen as the biggest challenge or to president ad one's power. so the 14th opted for what i would say is an unprecedented lockdown of large parts of the city, extending far beyond the city center on the, on the european side here in the east temple updates essentially paralyzed public lives. they've shut down a public transportation in limited people's ability to move from one location to another. in a clear attempt to prevent people from gathering in certain locations more than 50000 police officers were deployed across the city today. that's a massive show of force and still, although you mentioned that the tech, some squared error in central is simple, is a very sensitive area in protest. there had been banned for many years. some people

try to march towards tech, some square, they were stopped and blocked by police. we've seen people being dragged into police buses. there been scuffles and so far, according to the numbers, we have received some 400 people have been detained. so very tens made a here in the stumble. meanwhile, processing other parts of the city will handle differently as well. yes, unionist managed to organize uh several uh, events today uh to bigger riley's, attended by tens of thousands of people on the east and bulls asian side. i went to the riley in a, b, kaji k, a district and i spoke with people there of course is labor day so that a worker rights are a key demand here in turkey, people are suffering from an enormous cost of living prices with very high inflation. minimum wages are not enough to support a family, but many people also told me they came to express their anger and frustration at president ad one and his government especially following the arrest of this very

popular opposition candidate is stumbles. may a people say that was an democratic move. we've seen many other arrests of government critics in recent weeks, and they say these are all signs that turkey has taken an even more forward terry and term. let's listen to what people told me about if you didn't like you to going through the time in which we are deprived of our rights in which people are rest is are thrown into prison. just because they criticize the government to them that mean that that's why i made a, it's so important for us to do it in so many all the great thing just to see it because one mom does not want to give up the power. he's in thinking about this country anymore or any one, he's only thinking of himself. so keith ruled by an officer retiree and one on regime. the we want to earn a woman is government to resign immediately on our country to return to democracy.

we want the memo blue and others who would be imprisoned to be released. and until that happens, we will continue to protest the job. so usually a han, how all those protests and calls for the presidents resignation, continuing to unfold or will, i think people's anger that's become very clear today again, is not going to go anywhere. it's up to the political position, of course, to somehow channel these emotions into meaningful pressure the, the v at the government elections here are not scheduled until 2028 feel position here. says it coming mama with the jails mayor, are still there. presidential candidate, they one early elections. they are holding a weekly riley's here in east and blue, but also in other tucker cities. now, the big question is, of course, uh will that have any sort of effect on the political system on president ad one, he holds all the power. he's an almost all powerful president. and as we sold very

clearly today, he has the means to repress and suppress people from gathering repress protests from happening. and some of the say he's willing to even intensify his crank down on critics. about julia, julia han, in a stumble, as you're watching the w news live from brother and his reminder about top story this our us media reporting that donald trump's national security advisor mike walls is to leave his position as a waltz face calls to resign for his involvement in setting up a chat on a non secure messaging signal by sensitive military operations weren't discussed areas to care about that. the donald trump, that's a yes to be confirmed. we'll have more on that at the top of the hour of next on the w documentary, looking at the use, controversial before the agency front text,

and you attempts to clean up its image. i'll be back at the top of the, i'll have a good the name is the polls back. save. wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. would have been nosy, bad, it gets everyone to king a healthy award winning called called the called back.
