YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Elon Musk and the Trump administration have agreed to shut down USAID, the world's largest single donor to international aid programs, with thousands of staff being withdrawn as Mr Musk says it is "beyond repair". The decision follows a wave of government cuts since Mr Trump's return to office last month.

On the Sky News Daily, Tom Cheshire speaks to Sky's Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir - reporting from Johannesburg - where the effects are already being felt, as sexual health clinics are closing and life-saving HIV drugs are no longer available.
