the june more thoughts now when the story inform my renewal, i will need to migrate wherever they may be. the hello and welcome to date of your new was here. our top story is coming to live from berlin. donald trump assembles his team for his 2nd presidency. he announces us border policy will be overseen by immigration. hardliner. tom homan, trump promised math deportation during his election campaign. also a head on the program. deadly attacks hit several ukrainian cities as authorities born. russia is warming up for a massive error strikes. me marry an elephant who can watch herself using a house will speak to an expert who isn't studied this unusual skill at 1st wednesday of the

. i'm quite richardson. thank you very much for joining us. us president elect donald trump continues to assemble his team and has now tapped tom homan to be his so called border sar. home and served in the previous trump administration as acting director of immigration and customs enforcement or ice after the announcement home and said he would prioritize deporting. immigrants in the united states who arrived illegally, trump made cracking down on a regular immigration. one of the central elements of his campaign and he has promised mass deportations from the united states or lets me to do the special corresponded abraham. she's following all these developments for us from washington d. c. a a. tell us 1st about tom homan, who trump has no trojan, that's what he's calling his border sar. what do we know about him and what goals

he might be pursuing of the well certainly this was unexpected. pick claire um tom homan has pretty much been mirroring the president elect rhetoric when it comes to immigration policies. and so it is, it gives off the impression that donald trump wants the electorate, the world, and americans to know that he means what he's the, he means what he said on the campaign trail when it comes to immigration, as you mentioned, he did serve as the executive associate director of enforcement and removal for a ace. and in that capacity, he managed to carry out a record number of deportations and that was under the obama administration. he's also been a because he's also worked for the officer conservative heritage foundation and has contributed to the famous or rather now infamous project 2025. she was also the

face of the family separation policy that controversial policy under the president elect that saw the separation of a and people trying to come in to the southern border from their a childrens. and so it is, however, still unclear what this role will take as it requires what this will will mean as it requires coordination between various other agencies within the government. and it is one that doesn't require senate confirmation. so that's something that will definitely sort of a brief through another expected announcement is that the, the president elect is expected to announce as deputy chief of staff for policy. steven miller, somebody who's served in his 1st presidency and also supports the president's rhetoric and ideas about immigration and deportation. nope,

of course. throughout the campaign trail, donald trump has promised the largest deep rotation operation in american history. it is unclear what the logistics of that would be by all accounts, everything we've been hearing from experts. this would be a madness, a task. and we don't, we still do not know the details of what that what that promise would look like. but certainly with these, with this one confront, pick and the expected announcement of steven miller, the impression that the president likes wants to get this. but he is serious about his promises. and indeed, we are getting some other names of key officials who could be in this next administration and stay with us for just a moment. let's take a look at these people who are up for the most important posts that will affect geo politics and international policy. and what that means for the whole world, the united, this man could be donald trump's chief of downsizing the law in most as terms

highest profile supporter and trump as publicly spoken of putting him in charge of eliminating government waste. even his musket does billions of dollars of official business with the us. most unofficial influence is already significant. he's reportedly joined phone calls between trump and foreign leaders. then there's robert f. kennedy, junior and outspoken vaccine skeptic who may have the health and human services department raising worries about what could happen if another pandemic or to occur beyond the celebrities. trump is looking to staff his administration with figures from the right. rick renaud is in the running for secretary of state. he is a combined a former ambassador to germany who got involved in german politics while in his post. he said he wants to empower right wing anti establishment parties in europe.

are their names being floated r robert o'brien who has trumps former national security adviser and marco rubio, which senator from florida. he's very hawkish against china, but it's been for secretary of defense. mike rogers has been mentioned for the top job. he's a republican member of congress with a hawkish reputation. and unlike many and trumps world, a strong advocate of arming ukraine and increasing defense spending. trump, as also mentioned christopher miller, who worked under his last administration and was involved in project 2025. trump is announced that the united nations ambassador is elise, as the phonic staunchly pro israel republican representative from new york as another major pick. trump appointed his campaign co chairwoman. susie whiles his chief of staff, she'll control access to the president and helps of the administrative policy

agenda. what all these people have in common besides right wing credentials is proven loyalty to trump. but the president elect faces ops, the goals and appointing diesel oil and gas for cabinet posts must be confirmed by the senate. which means dealing with democrats who may refuse to let his nominees have hearings, trumpets proposed changing the way the senate works. to allow him to appoint candidates while it is not in session, trump may resort to pointing acting cabinet members, as he often did in his 1st term. these people are easy to fire and don't have to be confirmed by the senate that makes their own views less important as their jobs depend on one thing. pleasing the boss. so back across the abraham in washington for more a let's pick up on some of these names. we are trump has tapped. the congresswoman elisa stefan it to be as ambassador to the united nations. is that a gift to is really prime minister netanyahu? i mean, what it certainly signals is that is real,

can expect continued american support at the united nations. the united at the us has often been accused of providing massive diplomatic cover for israel at the united nations in the form of its vito at the security council. and certainly with the pick of release to phonic, white people in what is really officials are probably now, you know, seeing is that they can expect more of the same to phonic was also a prominent member of the committee in the house which hammered the elite college and university presidents over allegations of anti semitism on us college campuses and has been a vocal supporter of, of israel, especially throughout the throughout it's more in gaza. and so what that signals to the middle east at least is at least on the one level, it will be more of the same from the united states. thank you so much for that.

that is d w as a special corresponded to abraham reporting from washington dc to cry. now, where authorities are warning that russia is warming off for a massive attack, that after 6 people were killed and dozens wounded in error rates on several cities, 5 people died in the southern city of nikolai, af, after the attacks and struck a residential area. another person was killed exasperation in the southeast, and a missile also hit the central city of carrie. very ukraine issued an error, a warning across the country, and cut power supplies after the air force warranties that russian bombers had it taken off from their bases with dw corresponded and economy following these developments for us from the key of areas with more on the latest russian air strikes the wine terms of the cavities, they're in that ballistic massage attack, and they really we been told by the forces that to expect more in the way of

casualties. this was a night where basically all of your brain was under attack, including the capital key of all the basic, protected and managed to escape without major damage last night. but this is approximately basically seen for the last 2 months. we've seen rush the dining up the, the pressure, especially with the drone attacks. and yes, ukraine has received it all the way in terms of western defense systems, but it is not enough to cover country of this size. and as such, people are constantly very close to the fact that their lives might be at risk. and it is just very difficult to go down to the pump shelter every night. this is some of these, these arabs can last for 34567 hours. and if people want to go about the business ones that have a job one to go to school the next day, it is always that question that people ask themselves, is it worth interrupting nicely? is it worth going for safety? and potentially being unable to function next day, or is the danger real enough for me to take that all in into account. so it is a very difficult situation here. for now,

the power supplies all working. they had being cut off in certain places as a preventative measure to protect against commerce energy system. but people are expecting worse as the weeks go ahead and the temperatures go down as winter resets and difficult times. i had indeed next, let's talk about donald trump. the election victory in the united states has it emboldened vladimir putin as some fear. i think we basically seen pretend pushing resources towards, basically you're intensifying the war and you claim for the last 2 months or so. i think it's part of a big point. the who's trying to make, even during the election campaign, respective of who won that, this is a will that is unwinnable for the west to, for ukraine. that's the position he's trying to kind of opinion. he's trying to get across the rushes, taking huge losses in the process. the see if the study will recently calculated that russia has sustained more losses about 80000 losses. that's injured and dead in the east of grain in september or october. that model says in the us, sustained in basically 2 decades in iraq and afghanistan. so a real willingness to,

to invest a huge number of lives and resources and drops out to say that, for example, we couldn't carry this on for too much longer. but he's really trying to create this impression in the hope that then eventually donald trump give somebody wants forces ukraine to capitulated basically, except his terms. but for now, it still seems that, you know, pitching, thinks he can get more from trump than just kind of for you in the conflict where it is. we've had very kind of, um, kind of mixed messages in terms of the kind of a criminal speaks. because such people know kind of 2 of us desire to get to talking on on trump times a real sense that most of the things is winning and that it can get more and not just hold onto what it currently controls, but also get more ukrainian directory so it is really unclear when you kind of the section where this is going to go, if trumpeting office is gonna actually realize that giving up, you know, ukraine and giving into food and will be damaging to his reputation to american strength and how people see american the world, but it is a very,

very scary moment. people hearing ukraine, that's definitely the case. do you have his correspondence and they, quarterly report in from care of there. now the un annual climate conference has started in as or by john a mid warnings that 2024 will be the hardest year on record. the focus of this year's meeting is on climate financing. developing countries are seeking assurance that is that they will get more funding to deal with the impact of climate catastrophes that are becoming more severe and more frequent. but the election of climate skeptic donald trump, could put the brakes on proposals to deal with global warming. will lead to of gathering and buckling for $29.00. well met. with the shop warning from the un secretary general, he spoke about the wills climate spiraling into chaos. we are in the climate smell stall, the extremes, temperatures, the rising science routes, and epic floods out of not nettle. these are those they are human. these us that's

easily fueled by fossil fuels. no con, 3. you spent climate catastrophes have particularly impacted countries in the global south. now india and many african countries that are asking ritual nations to donate a trillion dollars a you, the fund would help them deal with the damage caused help build more climate was an infrastructure. historically industrialized countries like the us and european countries have limited the, the highest levels of carbon dioxide. the greenhouse gas allows you to be responsible for climate change. china. it's the largest inventory in the world, the exact amount of compensation and who should pay. it will be heavily debated off the conference countries efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are also on the summits agenda like investments and renewable energy, which are rising worldwide. but so water investments in fossil fuels like another

well really large comp 29 is donald trump's return to the white house. he has repeatedly called the climate change of hope and promise to pull the us out of the pat his client agreement again for those of us dedicated to climate action. last week's outcome in the united states is obviously bitterly disappointed, particularly because of the unprecedented resources and then the ocean present inviting and vice president harris brought to the climate fight. it is clear that the next administration will try to take a u, turn en route and reverse. much of this progress in the us has been hit by several severe weather events recently including heavy rain and flooding that destroyed entire communities in florida and north carolina. and we've dw is a chief climate reporter, louise osborne, and joining me now in the studio to talk about what's happening in baka louise. so

good to see you. we have to start with donald trump. the fact that we're going to be seeing a new administration coming in in january of next year. i mean, this is the man who is called climate change a hoax. he's promised to to withdraw the united states from the paris climate deal . how is that specter overshadowing this call? 29. i mean, to be clear, going into the negotiations will be the bite and administration, but they are being largely seen those kind of lame dogs in the any promises they make obviously don't means so much considering that. as you said, trump is likely to pull us out of the purse agreement, which is disagreement. the countries made to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to make sure that temperatures were limited at 1.5 degrees celsius. that is going to have a been big impact then on this financing. because at the moment the us is one of the bigger donors. and if the money can be relied on to come from then,

then that means that the goal will obviously be smaller than it otherwise would be . and another issue is that for us is the 2nd biggest um, greenhouse gas emitter. that means the, you know, it won't be obligated also to the targets that it set for 2013, saying that biden has put the country on a path to renewables and president elect trump will not be able to pull that completely apart. so progress will be there, it will just be slower. so tell us a little bit more about this financing aspect. that seems to be a sticking point here. how difficult is it going to be to find agreements? so it has been very difficult even an well now, one of the major sticking points is that the industrialized nations want to see countries like china, which is the 2nd biggest global economy and also the world's largest carbon dioxide emitter, contributing to this fund at the moment they are seen as developing countries and

so they're able to be recipient countries. this is the same with gulf states which are also big misses. so this is one of the issues that is, is holding back talks. also an issue is access to funding until now this 100000000000 pledge that has been in place has been very difficult for a developing countries to, to get money from. so they want to make sure that processes are easier in the future. and there's also the fact that there are some world leaders who are not even going to be showing up to this conference, right? german chancellor for all of sold president joe biden, brazil's lulu, what kind of message does that send? i mean, maybe it doesn't look so good from the outside, but actually, you know, the negotiators who are actually there to put together these deals, they are there and whatever priorities these worldly does have. i mean, obviously there is a lot going on at the moment. climate change is not going away and it is a concern for the electorate. we've seen extreme what are playing a part and, and,

you know, causing difficulties in countries like spain, where there has been significant flooding in the past couple of weeks. also brazil, we've seen, you know, wild fires and, and sheet waves and all of these things that, that are, you know, causing real problems all over the world. and, and the message remains the same regardless of whether the world leaders is there. there needs to be costs to greenhouse gas emissions, so the effects very much already being felt around the world. the stakes could not be higher. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed on that. that's the w's chief climate reporter, louise osborne. and let's take a quick look now at some other world, new stories making headlines, or an indian cortez started a trial of a police volunteer accused of raping and murdering a junior doctor. the case states back to august when the woman's body was found in the classroom of a medical college in the eastern city of calcutta. 6 the crime sparked outrage across the country over violence against women british prime minister kira

storm or has joined the french president and mind while my chronic at an armistice day ceremony in paris to mark the 106th anniversary of the end of 441. he is the 1st british leader to attend the event and 80 years after the ceremony. the 2 leaders are due to discuss a range of topics including ukraine, the middle east and migration. the prime minister of the eastern african islands of marshes from beamed. you've now has conceded defeat, following sundays, parliamentary election. final results have not been released, but opposition leader not being around them appears to be on course for victory. this fall as a heated political campaign. and marissa, such as known for its driving financial tourism factors as japanese lawmakers have voted for prime minister, she gave 0 issue about to stay on as liter is she will call this not full. last month after his scandal,

plague governing coalition suffered the worst. the election lost in more than a decade. he must now run a fragile minority government or an elephant here at the birth. lindsay, who has been delighting researchers with her bathing routine. mary, the elephant has been keeping clean, taking our shower without any help from humans, or keep her safe. he's figured out how to use a hose to spray water on her back. and all she may not have yet master the use of soap or a scrub brush. she has impressed scientists with her skills such a delight to see and who better to talk to us about this. and michael brush, a neuroscience as a humble university in berlin, who has co authored a report about the showering behavior of ation. elephants, welcome to dw, how do you think that marry the elephant might have learned to shower like this?

i think edison's love to show and uh they love to use closes. do they do that naturally? they spray themselves. but especially here is that mary is so very good is a hose and that's different from other allison. so we looked at. so you were surprised to see that she has a special skill. yeah, yeah, she's a when you, when you look at the behavior, it looks very nice and it looks very elegant. how she showers and but you figure out it's when you look at the details, she's really, there's a lot of knowledge about how to use jose is might to use it as, as or less. so to get at the back or what be no, see the seeing the see here isn't of i have that friend as sort of uh, trying to clear and pro us and actually so latasha english. oh really? yeah. i mean, for a human, it's not that complicated, right. but talk to me about the logistics here. what does an elephant actually have to do to, to use this as a tool? yeah, i mean, so you, it turns out that the hose is actually fairly complex towards because of

a long bed even bigger than an edison and they are flexible. and so, but mary has just has to base of using the whole this one is like to show what. yeah. and the other one is a, this less oh style. and she wants to get to go back and ask, she's very systematic about getting your body clean and right. that's why it looks so fancy when she does that. it looks really nice. i thought of no other research has shown that wild elephants are able also to learn how to use some other tools. can you tell us a little bit more about that? yeah, so uh it's known that edison choose, choose the loan of the tool use is actually uh, body care. uh so the bank they would, uh, money fi, palm leaves to be very good to fly squatters and stuff. so

a lot of party care tools use, but most especially a is of the friends that uh, that then sort of uh, clamped on the house and uh, kind of tried to disable the tools that uh made, was using it. it's kind of a fan that you were having the summer task behavior that you saw. yeah. what does that tell you? that's so interesting. so another elephant saw her if i understand correctly using this hose and, and tried to stop her from doing it. yeah, so there was a when we started our study, mary got a lot more showering time and as the great showering time. uh, there was a lot of aggression between the 2 elephants. and then one of these days, um uh, actually started uh this can get grand behavior of quite complicated mental illness . she would lift the hose. kincaid request the king and then squeeze like cat to

disrupt the flow to marry. and yeah, be quite impressed by that. it actually turns out that she did even another behavior, namely a kind of a head stand on the hose that also disruptive water flow. and the 2 behaviors together, quite suggestive, add that as she was actually really trying to stop the flow and trying to sabotage mary. well, how now we know that unfortunately, climate change and other factors are, are making life very difficult for elephants in the wild. do you think that this kind of tool use could be helpful in the future for elephants as they're forced to adapt to this habitat last in the wild? yeah, i mean that having to is most, it's really devastating and it's, it's very concerning particular foundation, allison said less and 50000 asian elephants left so that, that's really a tragic and, and the big, very different coat part of this problem is that having tip destruction and it's

just my feet and humans extend, extend, extend, and, and just never go back to the habitats i've taken over these b, said edison's or send the bay adaptive animals and can, can adjust their behavior to changing a circumstance out. so this might be helpful in, in adjusting to climate change and all that bad habits of destruction is the immense joshua is animates. and of course, the most important to try to prevent it as much as possible. thank you so much for joining us on the w new side. as michael brush with the humboldt university of berlin. it was so great to talk to you about mary and your research. hey, my pleasure, and thanks for having me. a quick reminder before we go of our top story. donald trump has announced another key pick for his presidential team, putting an immigration hardliner in charge of border policy. tom homan says he will

prioritize deporting. immigrants will arrive to legally in the united states. and that is our show. i'm quite richardson, thank you so much for watching the

fear, anger and resignation. the war in the middle east is highly polarizing. we ask young israelis and palestinians in berlin. what their experiences have been like over the past year. what do they still feel at home in the city whose voices had been silenced? said become louder. snow stopped. next on d, w. thank as we travel across the african continent to houston those who did in this life bringing down i'm sure that can motivate you. and also what do you need to

come to the peers and also come challenges. young people in africa know old about is they ready to stand up with a ride to fulfilling self determines like the 77 percent the same minute on d w. the one of the main kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach. what is it really is possible to reverse the researches and scientists all over the world for a no race against time? they are peers and arrival within one daring goals to help smart nature.

the more likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary sports. are there any slogans you shouldn't say, or is there anything in particular to be aware of it focused on this one bullying one year off to the october 7th, the tax transmission. now i'm not going to remain silent out of fear, like i was doing a few months ago and i went to be the voice of those palestinians were still don't dare to speak out and whose tone, but you think people have stopped hiding their anti semitism. now they feel they can speak and behave of course.
