She said that there was money about to go out for the World Health Organization, $37 million. She said that had been halted. And then she spoke about $50 million, bizarrely, that she said was going to go out of the budget for condoms for Gaza. That's also been halted. So those were the two things she specifically mentioned at that press conference today on foreign aid.

Eight years ago, just after President Trump was inaugurated for his first presidency, over half a million people came to Washington to protest in one of the largest ever one-day protests in the country. This time the organizers, and they're from a coalition of groups, they were hoping for 50,000, but I would say there are less than that.

But many, many people, several thousand, have braved the cold. to come to Washington with signs saying things like, control guns, not our bodies. No sign is big enough to list all the reasons I'm here. Immigrants make America great. So banners that reflect their opposition to Donald Trump and the policies they fear he will bring in.

And with me now are two people who've come in to Washington from Baltimore. And Zora, you're 17 years old. Have you been to a protest before? I have. I was back at a protest just like this in 2017, right before Trump's first inauguration. You must have been very young. Yeah, I was nine years old.

Thank you both so much. And obviously they've come here to stand up for what they believe in. I don't think the demonstration, the rally is quite as big as the organisers may have hoped, but people really wanting to have their voices heard as Donald Trump flies in today to begin celebrations ahead of his inauguration on Monday.
