Yes, you can.
Many channels already do this.
When you take what would otherwise be copyrighted information and you add commentary to it — because it is a piece of news or it has wide mass media appeal — you don't infringe on the intellectual property rights of the copyright owner.
How come?
Commentaries and reviews have long been considered "fair use" when it comes to international copyright law.
The key here is to include as many different reactions and other inputs to convert the copyrighted information into commentary content.
A lot of people on YouTube are pushing the edge because a lot of people post comedy clips and they just laugh or they don't do anything and they say that they're reacting to the content.
I suspect a lot of those channels are probably going to get hit by copyright claims or that type of content would get flushed down the toilet by YouTube soon enough.
The key is to actually produce commentary content.
You can't just republish somebody else's work and just show yourself looking at it or watching it and leave it at that.
You have to actually offer your views, opinions, or some sort of commentary that would turn your otherwise illegal use of somebody else's work into fair-use content.

Yes that is called ",transformational value", your basically adding creativity and work from your side and youtube does allow to monetize it, however some important things would be to add your own VO and while playing clips from another channel or source that is not copy right free, play it for max 5-7 seconds and switch to another clip. Also make sure to add a few stock clips and Images in between the clips that your re-using from another source,
Goodluck

If you don't add any additional value, you can't. What I mean by additional value? Take reaction videos for example. They are kinda reposting content but have their own video recorded as well. So they are adding value to the content. If you don't add any additional value to the re-posted content, then it won't get monetized

Yes you can. But do not do politics channels, because there's so much haters who trying to report the stuff.

Monetizing translated and reacted-to speeches from United Nations channels can be challenging due to copyright issues and content policies. To make the video appear original, ensure your voiceover is clear, accurate, and professional. Add subtitles, maintain high video quality, and provide insightful, unique reactions. Always check YouTube's fair use policies and consider seeking permission from the original content owners to avoid potential legal issues.

a straight copy no = nut doing feedback / review / voice over is fine
