uranus open new possibilities for life within our solar system. us president—elect donald trump is making his first appointments to his future cabinet, giving us a picture of what his administration will look like when he takes office again in january. in the last couple of hours he announced plans to nominate lee zeldin, the former new york congressman, to lead the environmental protection agency. mr trump also plans to nominate elysia stefanik — a new york congresswoman who formerly served in the cia — to serve as the us's ambassador to the united nations. tom homan the acting director of immigrations and customs enforcement at the beginning of mr trump's last term, is planned to be nominated to serve as mr trump's "border tsar". mr homan had a long career in the federal government's immigration enforcement wing,

and was given an award in 2015 by then—president barack obama for his effectiveness at deporting illegal immigrants. and in one of the most significant appointments, stephen miller — a long—time trump adviser known for his strong anti—immigration views — will be mr trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, one of the most powerful positions in the white house. our correspondentjess parker has more now from florida. this has more now from florida. is, of course, west pa beach, this is, of course, west palm beach, where donald trump has his mar—a—lago home. it's really become the epicentre of the trumped transition as we hear planned appointments for his new administration. i think you can already read a couple of things into the names that we have been hearing. first of all on immigration, he is bringing back people who were involved in his first

administration and involved in controversial policies, such as the separation of families at the separation of families at the southern border, the travel ban as well. those people now being tasked with carrying out the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. ithink the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. i think donald trump potentially his team also trying to send a message that they mean business. you also see loyalty being rewarded. those people who stuck with donald trump after he lost the 2020 election and left the white house, those who stuck by him now being invited to go backin him now being invited to go back in with them. of course, he's not being inaugurated untiljanuary the 20th and we will expect more appointments to come. but you can already feel here the powers being exercised here that power being divvied out row by row, position by position for his new administration.

joining me live is republican political strategist deana bass williams. a flurry of names today — trump tapping several people to be part of his administration i want to ask you about a few of them starting with stephen miller who looks set to become his white house deputy chief of staff for policy. what kind of role will he play in a second term? well, what i can say is that president elect, trump, has nominated people that have been loyal to him and that he trusts. so stephen miller, we saw what he did in the first trump administration and he is not anti—immigration, trump administration and he is notanti—immigration, he trump administration and he is not anti—immigration, he is anti—illegal immigration and he is a strong advocate for the president—elect�*s policies on illegal immigration and your correspondent was correct in stating that president trump is making sure that people understand that he is ready to get down to business and with an appointment early on of

stephen miller, that is very evident that he's definitely ready to get down to business on illegal immigration. what on illegal immigration. what about stefanik _ on illegal immigration. what about stefanik in _ on illegal immigration. what about stefanik in line - on illegal immigration. what about stefanik in line to - on illegal immigration. what about stefanik in line to be l about stefanik in line to be the ambassadorfor the about stefanik in line to be the ambassador for the united nations. a big supporter of israel. highly critical of the un for what she says is a lack of support for its war against hamas. what do you think that pic might signal about donald trump's potential policy internationally?- trump's potential policy internationally? well, no secret that _ internationally? well, no secret that president - internationally? well, no i secret that president trump internationally? well, no - secret that president trump is a strong supporter of israel. so stefanik is also an exciting choice. she's young, she's vibrant, she fits the bill of being loyal and capable. i think again that there is something, there is something very common, there's a theme going on. these themes that president trump talked about over and over again in the campaign. he's appointing people who can get those things

done. he is ready to get down to business. i think an appointment of someone who is loyal to him to execute his agenda is a perfect example of that. ., ., ., , that. you mentioned loyalty with both — that. you mentioned loyalty with both of _ that. you mentioned loyalty with both of those - that. you mentioned loyalty with both of those pics. - that. you mentioned loyalty with both of those pics. is i with both of those pics. is there a danger that donald trump might surround himself with people that are loyal to him but may not be able to or be willing to use disagree with him? is that a danger in the second term? i think it's very important based on the first term when president trump, there were people in the cabinet that he may not have known well that were not in sync with his agenda. what we know is that president trump has a mandate from the american people, so we must appoint people who will execute that mandate. now also the susie wiles, someone who is a close adviser, that person, this is of course the chief of staff appointed —— appointment. she has been able to — given

the tough information, give him the tough information, give him the hard news, he has done something that is remarkable, first of all. people call him a misogynist, but is a point of the first woman to serve as white house chief of staff. that's impressive, that's remarkable, but is also appointed someone who is not a showboat... d0 appointed someone who is not a showboat- - -_ showboat. .. do you think that president _ showboat. .. do you think that president trump, _ showboat. .. do you think that president trump, will - showboat. .. do you think that president trump, will he - president trump, will he appoint anybody that openly disagrees with him? we saw obviously, harris had promised to appoint a republican to her cabinets, could we see a democrat? at bc someone who says i disagree with donald trump on some things? i think that we have _ trump on some things? i think that we have already _ trump on some things? i think that we have already seen - trump on some things? i think that we have already seen that president trump will appoint people who are not completely in sync, or he will have in his inner circle people who are not completely in sync and that is rfk, elon musk, those are

people who have become close advisers to the president, but we know they are not in sync on all of their policies. but it is very important whether it is a democratic president or a republican president, it is very important that the president appoints people who will execute his agenda. president trump has a mandate from the american people, so it is important that he appoints people who are going to deliver what the emergent people have asked for. d0 what the emergent people have asked for. , ., ~ what the emergent people have asked for. ~ ., asked for. do you think on day one that immigration - asked for. do you think on day one that immigration will - asked for. do you think on day one that immigration will be i one that immigration will be the top priority for the second trump administration? absolutely. and that... immigration and the economy were of course two of the big issues for american voters and it is very clear with stephen miller that president trump is going to make illegal immigration a top priority and i do believe that it will be a quick move to remove people who are criminals quickly. so i think that's something that can be done quickly. and the

american people all across the country have been in sync on the fact that we have to curb this illegal immigration in our country. this illegal immigration in our count . , , this illegal immigration in our count. , , country. republican political strategist. _ country. republican political strategist, thank _ country. republican political strategist, thank you - country. republican political strategist, thank you for - country. republican political| strategist, thank you for your insights. the cop29 climate summit is kicking off in azerbaijan, to discuss measures to reduce the use of fossil fuels. the focus of this year's summit is how to keep the increase in global temperature below 1.5 degrees — a target set by the 2015 paris agreement. casting a shadow though is president—elect donald trump, a known climate sceptic who threatened to withdraw from that landmark agreement. us climate envoyjohn podesta, who's at the summit in baku, says efforts to combat global warming will continue —despite what he called a disappointing election outcome for climate activists. this is not the end of our fight for a cleaner, safer

planet. facts are still facts, science is still science. the fight is bigger than one election, one political cycle and one country. this fight is bigger still, and one country. this fight is biggerstill, because and one country. this fight is bigger still, because we are all living through a year defined by the climate crisis in every country of the world. a report released on the first day of the summit warned that this year is likely to be the hottest ever recorded. but it says that doesn't mean the goal of keeping temperatures from rising 1.5 degrees celsius above pre—industrial levels has failed, yet. a key topic at cop29 will be climate finance — with wealthier countries under pressure to deliver a proposed one—trillion—dollar package to support developing nations. the bbcs climate editor justin rowlatt sent this report from baku. in the last few days, wildfires have been burning on both coasts of the united states. there was even a bushfire in a new york city park. meanwhile, the philippines is enduring its fourth

cyclone in three weeks. this reminder of the weather extremes climate change is likely to bring comes as the latest round of un climate talks opened. the head of the talks warned of those risks. colleagues, we are on the road to ruin. climate change is already here. like in somalia, where it's driving even hotter, drier weather, which in turn is deepening conflict. the cause, the emissions made by developed countries as they got rich, yet poorer countries like somalia feel the impacts hardest. we're not talking about something that is nice to have. we're talking about a threat to humanity here. so we really, really need to look at it like that and take it very, very seriously because it affects everybody on the planet. but there has been progress here. the final component of the landmark paris agreement has been resolved after ten years of fierce negotiations.

it aims to create a market to allow rich countries to pay poorer countries for emissions reductions. think wind turbines in south africa or planting trees in south america. carbon cutting measures are often cheaper in developing countries, so the hope is this will generate billions of dollars to help them tackle climate change. but the list of countries whose leaders won't be attending is growing. it now includes china, the us, the eu and brazil. but there are some newcomers. the taliban spotted a photo op. meanwhile, sir keir starmer has arrived. tomorrow he'll be announcing the uk's target for cutting emissions over the next decade. the hope is it will encourage others to bold action as these tricky talks begin. justin rowlatt, bbc news, baku.

in gaza, israel is pushing forward with its military operations.a strike on a cafe near khan younis in southern gaza killed at least seven people on monday, according to palestinian medical officials cited by reuters. it follows reports that at least 30 people were killed in gaza since sunday night. the nuseirat refugee camp in central gaza has come under heavy bombardment. on monday, the idf launched a tank incursion israel says it is trying to prevent hamas from regrouping. meanwhile in the north, gaza's hospitals have been under siege for weeks.some medical evacuations are under way between jabalia to gaza city in an effort the group says 20 patients were evacuated sunday night, in a mission lasting hours — according to night, in a mission lasting hours. tuesday marks the deadline set by the biden administration for israel to improve the humanitarian situation in gaza or risk an arms embargo.the israeli military said monday it was taking steps to expand a humanitarian zone in southern gaza. our correspondentjon donnison sent us this report.

much of gaza now looks unlivable. a month ago, america once again demanded israel take steps to reduce the number of civilian casualties. the united nations says more than 1000 people have been killed in the last 30 days, the majority, it says, were civilians. this boy needed to see with his own eyes. in the bag is the five—year—old's auntie. his uncle, their children, and his sister were also killed when israel attacked a school housing displaced families in central gaza. israel's military says it was targeting hamas. " god is all we need," he cries. there is food in gaza. if you can get your

hands on it. this, the daily scramble for bread if you can afford it. if it were not for the soup kitchen, we would have starved to death. every day is the same struggle. i go back and forth to the soup kitchen. on gaza's northern border, you can see the war is not over, but israel has reopened a number of crossings to allow aid in as the us requested. it's not enough. america demanded that by now, israel should be getting a minimum of at least 350 trucks of aid into gaza every day, but over the past month, the united nations says the average has been onlyjust over a0 trucks a day.

israel does not allow international journalists free access into gaza. but i spoke to the main un aid agency there. we've got this deadline set by the united states, have their demands been met? no, there is not enough aid here. there's not enough supplies. people are starving in areas. people are very hungry. they are fighting over bags of flour. there is just not enough supplies. for more than a year, israel has crossed most of america's redlines. much of this was done using us weapons, but in the dying days of the biden presidency and with more than 43,000 palestinian lives lost, it is unlikely the white house will put its foot down and cut off arms supplies. around the world

justin welby�*s apologised, but says he won't resign. but today, one senior member of the church broke ranks. i think that it is very hard for the church, as the nationality established church, to continue to have a moral voice in any way, shape orform in our nation, when we cannot get our own house in order with regard to something as critically important, something that would be asked of any institution, let alone the church. given that, what do you think about the position of the archbishop of canterbury? ithink, sadly, his position is untenable, so i think he should resign. the first cases of abuse by john smyth at christian summer camps were in the mid—1970s. by the early �*80s, church officials were informed but there was what the report calls an "active cover—up". in 1984, smyth carried on his abuse in zimbabwe and later south africa, and we know the archbishop of canterbury was definitely told by 2013. but the abuse continued

and was exposed by channel 4 in 2017, something justin welby said at the time was the first he knew of john smyth's behaviour. smyth died in 2018 without ever facing justice. london vicar giles fraser says for his role the archbishop has lost the confidence of clergy. you know, just the idea that the archbishop knew in 2013, at the very most generous interpretation, and still people were abused around the world, it's absolutely appalling. who would believe a 16—year—old lad against a bishop and a vicar? matthew ineson is a survivor of church abuse, here you know, just the idea that the archbishop knew in 2013, at the very most generous interpretation, and still people were abused around the world, it's absolutely appalling. who would believe a 16—year—old lad against a bishop and a vicar? matthew ineson is a survivor of church abuse, here testifying at an inquiry. he wasn't a victim of john smyth but says the events of the past week have been retraumatising for all victims. it's clear where he stands onjustin welby.

i think he should definitely resign and he should take with him all those who have failed in safeguarding. if he doesn't, the church is showing itself again it doesn't understand what it is like to be a victim. it doesn't understand what safeguarding is. for years it has been saying it will do its own safeguarding, it knows what it's doing. it doesn't. supporters ofjustin welby say he has brought about a lot of improvements in the way abuse is handled by the church, but with not just the institution, but the man who leads it now having been shown as culpable, the pressure continues to mount. if you live in the uk and have been affected by sexual abuse or violence, details of help and support are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call forfree, at any time to hear recorded information on 0800 077 077. and if you live elsewhere in the world, you can find help and support at child help line international .org. a landmark bill to give terminally ill people in england and wales the right to end their life legally has been published. it's the first detail we've seen of the proposed changes, including safeguards —

should it pass into law. to be eligible, a person must be over 18 and registered with a gp for at least 12 months. they must be terminally ill and expected to die within six months, and also have the mental capacity to choose to end their life. two independent doctors must be satisfied the person is making an informed choice — and that their decision is voluntary and they haven't been coerced. the case will then go before a high courtjudge, who must hear from at least one of the doctors. crucially, the medication to end life must be self—administered. doctors will not be allowed to do it. assisting a suicide is currently illegal in england and wales, where the bill would apply, and it carries a maximum prison sentence of 1a years. labour mp kim leadbeater, who put forward the bill, said it includes "the strictest safeguards anywhere in the world". but opponents of assisted dying have raised concerns that people could feel pressured into ending their lives.mps will take part in an initial debate and vote on the bill on the 29 november. it will be the first time since 2015 that the house of commons has voted on the issue of assisted dying. back then, mps rejected proposals to allow some terminally ill adults

to end their lives with medical supervision. for years, scientists have thought the planet uranus and its five biggest moons were sterile worlds on the outer reaches of our solar system. but new research suggests otherwise. an analysis of data gathered by nasa's voyager 2 spacecraft almost a0 years ago suggests the possible presence of oceans — one of the elements key to sustaining life. here's our science correspondent pallab ghosh. uranus is an icy world in the outer reaches of our solar system. it's among the coldest of all the planets. scientists are studying the first pictures - of the planet uranus. the public got its first close—up look in 1986, when nasa's voyager 2 spacecraft flew by and sent back these sensational pictures of the planet and its five major moons. the data it sent back

suggested that the planet and its moons were inactive, and it also found that uranus's protective magnetic field was strangely distorted. but a new analysis shows that voyager 2 flew past on a bad day. this is the position of the magnetic field of uranus when voyager 2 flew past. the field should act like a bottle, capturing the gases that the worlds give off. voyager 2 found none, indicating that they were all dead, sterile worlds. it turns out that the readings were taken during a powerful solar storm, which might have blown the gases away. the storm also distorted the magnetic field, which had really looked like this. all of which means that uranus and all five of its moons might be active and have oceans. so these results mean that the uranian system could be much more exciting

than we previously thought. there could be moons there that have the conditions necessary for life. they might have oceans below the surface, which could be, i don't know, teeming with fish. one of the scientists working on the 1986 voyager flyby was delighted to hear about the new results, which have been published in the journal nature astronomy. i find the new results very fascinating, and i'm really excited to see that there is potential for life in the uranian system, and that so much is being done with the voyager data. that is really amazing, that scientists are going back and looking at this data collected in 1986 and finding new results and new discoveries. it's been nearly a0 years since voyager 2 flew past the icy world and its moons. nasa plans to launch a new mission, due to arrive in 20a5. scientists hope to find out then, whether the moons might have the possibility of being home to life. pallab ghosh, bbc news.

a0 yea rs later a0 years later and still learning about our solar system. more on that story and all the day's top news on our website. you see it they are. you can dive deeper on any of the stories, of course, that we've covered in this hour. more news coming up right here on bbc news. stay tuned. hello there. high pressure still dominating the weather story, but a change of wind direction has brought a change of fortunes. we have more sunshine around on monday, and the rest of the week will continue to be

largely dry, with some decent sunny spells from time to time. but clear skies by day continue through the night, and at this time of year that can lead to fog and some light frost around, i suspect first thing tuesday morning. so temperatures out to the west, closest to the centre of the low into low single figures. bit more of a breeze across east anglia and the south east. so here, temperatures will hold up, but that runs the risk of a few scattered showers. so the fog across north wales, northern ireland and into western scotland slow to lift away during the morning. it will gradually do so, and the emphasis is with a good deal of dry, sunny weather generally across the country. a few scattered showers continuing along the kent coast and down to the channel isles. but in terms of the feel of the weather, not as warm as last week, but hopefully the sunshine will compensate — eight to 13 degrees our overall high. now, tuesday into wednesday, the high pressurejust drifts a little bit southwest and allows this weak cold front to move in. so that's going to introduce more cloud to scotland through the day on wednesday and gradually into northern ireland and through the borders will also bring some showery outbreaks of rain

slowly drifting its way steadily south. nothing particularly significant. and south of that again we keep the sunshine with highs between 9 and 13 degrees. move out of wednesday into thursday, it's almost a repeat performance. we will be chasing a little more cloud around from time to time, but light winds on the whole. a bit more of a breeze, once againjust running in off the north sea, but temperatures similar values to the last few days. now, as we move out of thursday into friday and potentially the weekend, we could start to see a change. the high pressure eases off into the near continent, and that allows weather fronts to move in from the north and west. there's still a level of uncertainty, but there is a potential of a low pressure to develop to the north. and so generally speaking, that is going to change the wind direction once again to a cooler northerly flow. and so that means the temperatures are likely to fall away. so as we head towards the weekend, there'll be some showery outbreaks of rain around at times. monday into tuesday starts to see

a noticeably colder as we head into the following week.

this is bbc news. we will have the headlines at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. welcome to hardtalk.

i'm stephen sackur. the island nation ofjamaica likes to see itself as a caribbean success story, with an economy that has tamed crippling debt, a tourism sector that has bounced back from covid and with regional diplomatic clout in the global debate on climate change and reparations for slavery. but on the flip side, jamaica's reputation is being tarnished by violent crime, drugs and gang warfare. my guest is veteran tourism minister edmund bartlett. why hasn't jamaica fixed its internal strife?
