the church of england grapples with the fallout as the archbishop of canterbury resigns over his handling of a child abuse scandal that stretches back decades. and china unveils its brand—new stealth fighterjet, thej—35a, at its air show in zhuhai. hello, i'm sally bundock. we start in the us, where president—elect donald trump has been naming members of his white house team for his second term in office. one of those appointments will be going to elon musk — he will oversee a new "department of government efficiency" alongside his one—time rival for the republican presidential nomination, multi—millionaire vivek ramaswamy. trump has also announced other appointments and nominees.

let's take a look at some of those. the governor of south dakota — kristi noem — has been named as us homeland security chief. trump says he plans to nominate former director of national intelligencejohn ratcliffe to serve as the director of the cia. also on the list — fox news channel host and army national guard officer — pete hegseth, is expected to be appointed as secretary of defence. taking a look at the middle east, mr trump has nominated new york real estate developer, stephen witkoff to be his special envoy to the middle east. and the president—elect also wants to put forward mike huckabee to be his ambassador to israel. mr huckabee is a former arkansas governor and was a candidate for the republican party presidential nomination in both 2008 and 2016. our north america correspondent, david willis, has more.

donald trump is moving quickly to assemble his cabinet, a week after his landslide victory in the presidential election and nominees to several of the key positions, the top positions in the federal government, have already been announced. elan already been announced. elon musk who _ already been announced. elon musk who was _ already been announced. elon musk who was a _ already been announced. elon musk who was a staunch - musk who was a staunch supporter, of course, of donald trump in the closing months of the presidential campaign has, as expect it, been appointed to as expect it, been appointed to a high—profile advisory position, along with fellow entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy who was one of mr trump �*s rivals for the presidential nomination. mr mask will oversee the new department of government efficiency, which is a government —— it is set up to dismantle bureaucracy and conduct a more entrepreneurial spirit into their federal

government —— mr musk. government spending in this country is put at about $6.5 trillion a year and elon musk is already on record as saying that he believes he can save about one third of that. earlier mr trump announced a nomination of the former army veteran and foss —— fox news commentator pete hegseth as defence secretary. he has been openly critical in the past of four leaders of the pentagon and he is expected to make good on donald trump �*s campaign clench to rid the us military of what some on the michael wright see as progressive policies that have affected diversity within the ranks. meanwhile, a long—time hardliner on immigration policy, the south dakota governor kristi noem, has been nominated for the role of homeland security secretary. she is a long—time hardliner on

immigration policy and one of donald trump �*s cheap priorities is to improve the situation along the us southern border with mexico and to deport millions of people who came here illegally. kristi noem demanding a budget of billions of dollars and a staff of more than a quarter of a million will be key to those aims. donald trump has been holed up in his mar—a—lago estate in florida since the election. he is expected to leave their later today to travel to the white house to meet with president biden in the run—up to his, donald trump is, the run—up to his, donald trump �*s, inauguration as president injanuary.

and isolationist. donald trump will be america first but marco rubio has been strong on iran and china and also the national security adviser, mike voltz, who is the former congressman from florida and also i believe the first green beret, also does not seem to be someone of their isolationist america first ilk. he served in afghanistan, he served abroad and i think trump is setting up and i think trump is setting up a kind ofa and i think trump is setting up a kind of a difference between those who will be isolationist and those that will be america first and we heard the homeland security will be definitely america first immigration and in addition to the borders are tom homan. so it is shaping up to be an interesting administration. it to be an interesting administration. . ., , administration. it certainly will be when _ administration. it certainly will be when you've - administration. it certainly will be when you've got. administration. it certainly will be when you've got a l will be when you've got a disruptor right there in the middle of it as well, the

seem very efficient to have two people ko heading. i do wonder wh that people ko heading. i do wonder why that is _ people ko heading. i do wonder why that is because _ people ko heading. i do wonder why that is because - _ people ko heading. i do wonder why that is because - i - people ko heading. i do wonder why that is because - i mean, l people ko heading. i do wonder why that is because - i mean, i | why that is because — i mean, i wasn't surprised to hear that elon musk was given this role. this is something the two of them have discussed for quite a long time in the run—up to the election if donald trump were to be elected, but why share out that role? especially given elon musk 's character and personality, he wants to be top dog and he needs to share the job? dog and he needs to share the 'ob? ~ r' dog and he needs to share the 'ob? ~ ., ., job? musk also has to run spacex. _ job? musk also has to run spacex. x. _ job? musk also has to run spacex, x, twitter - job? musk also has to run spacex, x, twitter and i job? musk also has to run i spacex, x, twitter and tesla and any number of other companies so what seems to be musk 's tendency is to have people in charge and hejust sort of steps in from time to time, so my guess is that vivek ramaswamy who did run for the presidency based on this idea of cutting a lot of waste and government, that he will be the day—to—day person and musk will be dipping in and out as he
