in test shane silence, we need to break out of a. i want to tell you something. how to tell a secret starts november 29th on dw, the this is dw news coming to you live from berlin. the roll call continues as us president elect donald trump chooses his future cabinet. florida, senator mark of rubio look set to be tapped as secretary of state, as trump loose to fill out his foreign policy and national security team for his 2nd term. and it's day 2 of the global climate conference, in fact, who, where protesters are choosing the oil rich hosting. the country of bad faith saying as rayshawn is green washing its own climate impact. plus a spanish university launch is a project to help local residents hold onto memories by restoring photos destroyed

in the recent plugins. the little i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. in the us, the new trump administration is starting take shape sources close to donald trump said the president elect will likely confirm mark of rubio as his secretary state. the florida senator was trumps rival for the 2016 republican presidential nomination, but now aligns with his stances on china and ukraine. he's a cuban american and would be the 1st latino to hold the post. meanwhile, there's plenty of speculation about which trump loyalists could feel the other top jobs. let's take a look. this man could be donald trump's chief of downsizing. as eli mosque is, donald trump's highest profile supporter and trump has publicly spoken of putting

him in charge of eliminates in government waste even as must does billions of dollars in official business with the us must unofficial influence is already significant, is reportedly joined phone calls between trump and foreign leaders. then there's robert f. kennedy, junior and outspoken vaccine skeptic who may head to the health and human services department raising worries about what would happen if another pandemic, what a call. and for the top diplomatic post us media reports point to marco rubio as trumps. expected choice, a secretary of state percentage of from florida is known to take a hard line on china and durham, and he voted against the major. you claim aid package this year of the names being suggested include, rick grinnell, the combat a former ambassador to gemini. and robert o'brien who was trumps, form and national security advisor. mike rogers has been mentioned for the top

defense job. he's a republican member of congress with a hawkish reputation and the like many in trumps, as well as a strong advocate of bombing ukraine and increasing defense spending. trump is also mentioned christopher miller, who was under his last administration and was involved in project 2025, a wish list of government reform that would give trump more power. he's announced that the united nations and bassett is at least stephanie, a staunch the pro israel republican representative from new york. and trump is already made one major pick. he appointed his campaign co chair. woman was the wildest chief of stuff to control access to the president and help set the administration's policy agenda of what they all have in common. besides the right wing credentials has proven loyalty to trump. but the president elect faces obstacles and a pointing lawyer list. cabinet post must be confirmed by the senate,

which means dealing with democrats who may have refused to let his nominees have hearings, trumpets proposed changing the way of a sent. it works to allow him to appoint candidates while the senate is not in session. trump may also result to appointing 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, and that makes their own views less important at the job. it depends on one thing. pleasing the boss spring in william. good croft here. he's an american political analyst and deputy editor of the brussel space, the parliament magazine. good. see william will start with trump's apparent pick for foreign policy chief mark of rubio. what kind of secretary of state would he be? good morning, terry. um, well, 1st of all, we as we, as you are yourself said of the top, we should know that these are sort of unofficial, they are looking likely it looks likely that like a review will be picked by donald trump. but of course i'll chum can changes miami

know that donald trump has a history of changing his mind, but michael ruby else is as we heard that report a outspoken hawk when it comes to iran, china and venezuela. he's called for negotiations, the winding down toward a new crane, calling it a stalemate, and that there needs to be some kind of solution there. so margaret rubio has about quite a few credentials when it comes to foreign policy. where do you agree or disagree? he has put himself out upfront on some of these issues. in fact, he actually pre dates, donald trump, and a lot of this option is especially when it comes to china and the came into power in the senate in the so called tea party movement. this sort of sort of a proto america 1st uh, movement within the republican party that was before donald trump, that one to look more inwards and want to take more hawkish up position on things like china to give the united states or at least try and get an upper hand, so before i could review fits right in with donald trump's world view. um it would, it would make sense for him to be a secretary of state just confirmed. and again,

as you pointed out to trump, there's nothing to change his mind. but if confirmed rubio might be task to help fulfilled trump's promise to end the wars and ukraine in the middle east, what sort of foreign policy or diplomatic expertise? does rubio have that would recommend for those tasks? that's right. we're a long way from any positions because we also heard in that report that of course the confirmation process can be very long. and even though democrats don't have a majority in the senate, they do still have a say in pushing some of these positions through the market reveal. he sits on the intelligence committee assessment, formerly actions committee in the senate. so he does have access to high level intelligence, declassified information, he does know what's on the forefront of us intelligence, thinking of what's hot spots around the world conflict areas of the united states is involved in which seems to be an increasing number of these days. so mark rubio certainly has informed when it comes to what's going on and we should point out the

current administration with a we've had to be blinking. the secretary state. it's not like conflict or diplomacy or should i say it's not like coffee has been retained or restrained on under the last several years. and it's not like diplomacy has really had this upper hand in the last several years. so why that there's no saying what might happen, of course, with a marker, rubio, and i'm us in the states departments watching that under a trump administration, a lot of things will be dictated by events. and these things are just really difficult to predict before. so sticking with the potential lineup that let's not forget a law in most cases, a huge trump some porter of course, any idea what role musk might play if any, in trump, in the next uh, trump, administration. this is a great question, is what a lot of people are asking right now. what he's doing is they need to be hanging out in joining himself tomorrow. logo resorts, trump's sort of seat of operations right now in florida. reports have it that he's

kind of, they are sitting in on meetings, jumping into phone calls, and sort of being daltons tweeter in chief can up, you know, putting his, his thumb on the, the scale public opinion right now. for those who are in the twitter space of the ex space, with his support for donald trump's various text, 3 unclear a lot of us will even end up with any kind of positions you might not want. it might be better for him and more influential for him. and of course, certainly less scrutiny for him if he is, i adopt some kind of informal role that doesn't actually have any time is oversight in congress that he doesn't need to be confirmed by anybody. or actually, if anybody looking through his records, you can just kind of sit on the phone with donald trump, wherever, wherever that might be, where there tomorrow lock out for a back in his home in california. so this is something to watch. if this sort of efficiency condition will really take shape, eli must like donald trump very unpredictable. what they say one day could be very

different. the next day. williams, thank you very much. political analyst, william good trump there. well to see how trumps personnel choices are going down in ukraine, those crossover to dw knit conley in keep nick muck of rubio could become trumps. next secretary of state. and mike waltz, his national security advisor. these are 2 hard liners who oppose. more u. s. spending and help ukraine defend itself. what's the reaction in key? a look, terry, i think people are now is going to google, who mike will say is what his track record is. there's not a name like marker review that most people were aware of previously. and i think the kind of initial takeaway is this is less bad then most of the things were expecting, yes. these are people who are being critical about continued to support for ukraine in the same kind of volumes have been seeing. but they are not the people from the

say, the, you know, must cool bit to have questions kind of ukraine's, you know, a bible is to tell it to you. these people who think it's just too expensive. you, it means to do more of this is not our task. we should focus on china. so i think the initial take away is this could have been a lot worse if it indeed is happening this way. but again, the bigger question is, how much influence will these people have we seen in the 1st trump white house that people in the official post? the always have to say in the, you know, people that don't trump is on the phone with be that, you know, unless go over them. inclusion can sometimes have more sense of having people here already conscious of the fact that when he was present last around, trump, having met preaching, said that he basically trusted putin's take on things more than he does always has just agencies. so i think it, even if these names all that even if they say things that way you create a perspective or less scary than could be, doesn't mean. but actually they will end up having to say and being able to influence policy in a way that would make things less bad for you. great. let's take a closer look at the situation in ukraine. you creating authorities are warning

that russia is gearing up for a massive attack. we just saw 6 people killed and dozens. we entered in air raids on several cities. ukraine's military says there indications that moscow is planning a major round an air offensive. this comes as russian forces have been making gains on the front line. ukraine is facing a critical moment and it's back to the guns rushes full scott invasion. that's being records numbers of russian attacks across the country from the southern city . is that the easier to miss all strikes on the automated landscape hometown in central ukraine to the russian occupied eastern regions? fighting along the more than 1000 kilometer front line is stretching ukraine's troops at a critical moment. the hard press ministry is baffling, some 50000 troops in rushes coast region.

there's also a push to reinforce the front lines and the east, and ward off and on disappear to the infantry. a salt in the south of this at the time of political, i'm such and t exacerbated, but donald trump's, when in the us presidential election. and the premium side is saying basically said this is a rushes response to donald trump. in other words, donald trump has more pulled down, put in quite the opposite. russia is showing that it is going to continue. so course and accelerate. it's advancements in the dumbass requiring concerns and keeps the trump white casual prioritize piece at the expense of ukraine's territorial integrity. unless you're coming to the control just under the 5th, if you claim the integrity and the claimant has implied that relinquishing this land, maybe the minimum price gave has to pay for a piece. the ukraine corresponding economy is still with us. nick,

what's your take on the trajectory of the war in ukraine in the wake of the us election? does ukraine still have a chance of winning this war? if us support is not maintained? i think it's not as clear a kind of judge the as more of the same or no help a tool, right? there are lots of options for trump to loan money to ukraine, to basically give equipment in return for, you know, the promise to pay back in the future. that is something that is now being discussed more actively. but i think it's not like you crane is going to just roll over and basically give in. it's pretty late just because america is getting cold feet. i think if you look at what, let it approach and still demanding, it's not just tear it create. it's about basically ukraine reducing its only being constantly open to for the rest of the incursions and basically, you know, leaving the door open for continued russian control of this country. so i don't think that ukraine is going to suddenly change its minds to give up on what is been

fighting for for a few years, but it's going to be a little harder and the europeans gonna have to look more like thank you very much . that was a corresponding knit connelly, the in key will ever since donald trump one last week, the selection, the value of bitcoin has been going through the roof. the crypto courtesy hit yet another all time high on monday and monday, training. following a record breaking we, donald trump, is a big supporter and has pledge to make the united states the world's crypto capital . the trump used to be quite skeptical of bitcoin and other crypto currencies. but his tone has changed during his latest campaign for the white house. trump didn't praise crypto going as far as to buy burger sports fans and paid with bit calling. trump has also recently joined the trip the scene with his own platform with

liberty financial. it was much ridiculed, but has helps trump position himself as the crypto president. what does it mean? experts are hoping for lose the regulation that have also been criticisms that the way the securities and exchange commission is going off to a number of quick type funds. and that appears to be a willing list to bring in regulations that could bring more crypto firms. and that will peroration coins and tokens into the regulatory scale in recent days, bitcoin has clients to over $80000.00 now with drums set to a point loyalist. so the see, there are plenty of experts suggesting the rallies far from over, including stefan evolve coined house. we expect this bullish trend to continue for a long time about a year. he says the next level for me is $100000.00. another factor behind the rise of crypto heading into a trump presidency is e loan must the building and it was close to trump.

throughout the campaign at might well be part of a new administration, reports show mosque and trump have discussed crypt a policy with muskets, insights, potentially shaping trump approach to digital assets. suggesting, of course, that most viewers could indeed impact the regulatory trajectory of trip to in the us. bullish investors seem to keep firing up crypto, but buying in that are record high. it still seems to be a higher risk investment at the best. and let's catch you up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. at least a people have been killed in is really attack on northern weapon on the is rarely military. so the strike targeted that has bull on member, it's one of the farthest attacks from israel's border since the war spread to 11 on in september. israel's defense minister said israel will continue hitting, has pulled out with full force firefights between gangs and police broke out in

parts of the haitian capital. puerto prince monday. as the country's new prime minister was born in, alex did the fuse and was always appointed after his predecessor kindly. connie was removed on sunday after less than 6 months in office national criminal court, his analysis and external investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct involving the courts in chief prosecutor coming come. he has denied the allegations and said he plans to cooperate with the investigation con, had previously called for an internal watchdog to look into the claims. i have just come from protesters at the cop $29.00 global climate conference that accused the host country as much on a green washing, swedish climate, active expressive tune. burke said that the petroleum exporting nation is more concerned with securing the oil and gas investments. then we have solving the crisis. bucker's says it was chosen to host the conference because of its

initiatives in the green energy transition. the world has to move away from orland gas. as about john has made clear, there's no intention of changing its business model for the sake of the congress. 60 percent of government revenue come from fossil fuels, which are the main driver of the climate prices. having uh, oil and gas deposits is not our fault. it's a gift, it was a good deal climate act and try to get it the worst possible rating for climate protection. critically insufficient as a bit, john submissions are set to rise by the for the 20 percent in the coming years. see the red line in pub, of the countries on climate targets the fall cried from the emissions reduction. as i bet john needs to aim for to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees shown here in green, called 29 president and chief negotiator is moved up by a about johnson,

minnesota for ecology and natural resources and formal officials of the state or the company analyst by consent to climate negotiations, only work if you have a very strong and very credible and very trustworthy presidency. so by john is not that is a fossil fuel country. it's an autocrats country. are human rights are difficult and they are displaying themselves better than they really are. mean why the human rights situation in the co cause this country is disastrous? the experts numerous political prisoners are in jail, were many of being taught, should say human rights organizations. critics say they've been systematically silenced, particularly in the run up to the climate conference among them. but she just totally monthly from the as about john and g o climate of justice initiative google . so that'd be as forming a coalition, we wanted to draw attention to these problem that's highlighting the need in the country for an environment where people can express their opinions and voice,

their grievances raised issues and comfortably expressed themselves naturally. before we could achieve this, it was stopped. people were arrested boom box to all of the reporters without the board as press freedom. ranking, also painted green picture. as about john takes place $164.00 out of $180.00 countries. the federal state has also been rated as one of the most corrupt in the world, according to a transparency international report. and then there's the conflict with neighboring a media. last year, as of a john took over the region of my god know cut out bucks, which lead to more than $100000.00. i mean in please. the outcome of the time at some it does not depend solely on the host country to prevent devastating floods, as seen recently in spain and brazil, and support countries hit by climate catastrophes is the responsibility of high emitting nations, namely industrialized the western countries as well as china and oil rich gulf states off more on this climate conference, we can talk now to joy. it's

a good time. she's a professor of environment and developments in the global cell. the stem institute for social science research. thanks for being with us. joy you to the analyst in a report suggests the client negotiations cannot succeed if the summit presidency is in the hands of an autocratic state. that's almost wholly dependent on fossil fuels. do you agree? it's very unpredictable. you never know when a cop will succeed when it will say it, and it all depends on the dynamics within the country and within the organization. i remember one of the cops was in the netherlands and we was so sure it would succeed and it fails because of the way in which the dynamics booked the cop copenhagen failed. so it's a little unpredictable when it's blue book and when it won't. but having said that, the question is whether the other by john top really wants to phase out possible feel and out. everything shows us that they don't want to do that. so my gut

feeling is that they will not lead the way. okay, a big focus at this conference is what to do with emerging countries that are trying to transition away from fossil fuels. what can be done to help them in your opinion? so you know, the more than 80 percent of the remaining fossil fuel is in the developing world. so basically that 2 challenges. the 1st challenge is not using possible appeal. i'm extracting woods and fossil fuels from the ground and the 2nd challenges. what do we do with the plans that have just been built and therefore have a lifetime of about 8 deal signed years? and most of these blogs uh, was boots based on investments that took into account a long term period. so if you close those plans, found these countries and invest as google bankrupt because they have to pay back the investors. so there are 2 types of problems over here in terms of the finance

and of course, and there was the problem off the minus and the people enjoyed by the mining sector and the possible deals next to and you have a large number there. so you're really, you're really talking about using time is finance to phase out the extraction process. you're talking about climate finance not to use the fossil fuel that is still there but not yet extracted. and you're talking with climate finance to ensure that people are employed in the sector will support governments to change the sector. and this is very, very problematic and bought. and the problem has been of the cost that our rich countries in the west. we took too long to face out, and in fact, we have not yet based on fossil fuel. so the message it sends to many of the countries outside the antics one countries as well. since we are still drilling baby drumming. therefore they can also drill baby drill and that is

a really problematic situation that you have currently. and it's very difficult to bring the emerging economies when, when i own european and american us across the states are still continuing to use. okay. you joyce, or thank you very much, that was joy as a gift to in amsterdam. excuse me. i'm now to spain where the prime minister is pledging billions of bureaus to rebuild communities, devastated by reason deadly floods. many survivors of the disaster lost their homes and possessions including precious family albums, but a project to the university of valencia is helping restore what photos can be saved . preserving people's cherished memories. these exports are working to restore photos damaged by flood waters. helping families preserve precious memories of

loved ones. for many, these mementos are all they have left is the same as they were at my mother's house when they passed away my siblings and i did not remove any things to all our histories. their loan is a slip, so the mess because furniture on appliances can be replaced and the sooner or later we'll have that back to assess for this. but we don't have the negatives for those photos. despite being material things, the emotional value they have is impossible to measure, outcome, pen needles and the mentality and kind of the level of the deadly floods in spain. one of the worst. and it's more than history claimed over $200.00 lives and caused widespread devastation of the photos that were able to be saved. many our fragile water logged and faded. some are stuck together, making the restoration process more difficult, once restored these photos and we were done to their owners,

the university that is working to rescue these has created a registry to insure each one reaches the right family. on the list. so know when slot victims call or email us something that's what the tell us is that they'll very tactful because many of them have lost everything gospel, something to be the these are photographs of the grand parents for the parties have when they are family memories and you'll see that it's a little bit more. yes, i mean, yeah. why many have lost everything? this initiative offers a chance to save their irreplaceable family memories. and i'm finally in elephant here at the berlin suit who has been delighting researchers with her daily routine. mary, the elephant has been keeping clean, taking a shower without any help from humans. for capers, say she's figured out how to use a hose to spray water onto her back and while she hasn't yet started using so or
