northern gaza. living in dia, conditions last week, thousands followed is ray, liotta is to evacuate. they hear you. in fact, panel says plumbing is imminent in northern gaza. an assessment dismissed as inaccurate by israel us president elect. donald trump has a point, a tesla, c o, a long lost and former republican candidate vivek, rama swami to lead a so called department of government efficiency. trump is that the new department will advise the administration on dismantling federal bureaucracy from outside of the government. this would mean neither my nor rama swami would be bound by federal ethics. rules mosque celebrate the appointment on acts and claim to all the departments work would be posted online for transparency. and either way,

your reporter stephen beardsley joins me now. stephen, what can you tell us about this department of government efficiency as it's called nicole, i think we have more questions than answers on this. and i think everyone's trying to understand exactly how this will work. the 1st thing that comes to mind is when you say departments, and that is usually something that isn't acted by congress funded by congress. a department head has to be nominated. so there's a whole lot that would have to happen to create a department. but my guess here is that the department is there just to provide a d for those. of course, that's a riff on those coin. that's the crypto form that a lot of deal on must, has been promoting for quite a while. so it's just part of the joke, whether this takes the form of a task force, whether it takes the form of some sort of office within the white house. that's going to be the question. and then, you know, in of itself, i think reducing the federal bureaucracy. it has been something that has found bipartisan agreement over the years. we've seen democratic efforts to do the same. and we know that in recent years, the most conservative conservatives, especially traditional conservatives, is and

a very important point. and that's carried over to these conservative populace. and especially to these kind of tech billionaires, they're the ones like you are most who really take up this idea of the federal bureaucracy taking up too much air in the economy. but it does raise a lot of questions. how's you on most going to juggle what he's doing right now with this? what accountability will he have? and of course there's this ethics question as well, you know, what is his company's base x. among other companies, it has contracts with the federal government. so is he going to call those who might actually take a close look at some of the contracts that he has? is he going to call those who might have a say over the environmental impact of some of his launches? these are very earnest questions and the question is, is this going to be lost and kind of the joking us of this are americans, are americans going to look at this? are they going to see it seriously? is it going to be taken seriously? right now? seems to be a lot of fun, but it prompts a lot of questions. yeah. some people are, as you say, worried about a conflict of interest here. what would be the legal safeguards in place to avoid

an abuse of power on, on my side, i think it depends on how this, this office, department, whatever is set up. there are different ethics units, sort of embedded across the us government, whether it comes to the legislature, whether whether it comes to holding the executive to accounts of the office of governmental ethics. there are certain problems with some of these, including the old g e, the office of governmental ethics. it doesn't have a head right now. so that means it will likely be appointed by trump himself. that's the clock. clearly a problem in the making or could be a problem in the making. the system in the us is generally set up the power split between 3 different bodies, the executive, the legislature, and the supreme court. and you can say at 1st glance, all those appear to be on the side of conservatives. so i would say generally, the supreme court is going to rule in, within the mainstream of jurisprudence. and also the divisions and the legislature is so close that it doesn't guarantee it, there's just going to be a clean sweep. so you have to hope that there will be an accountability that exists in the system itself. but it does again raise questions, who's really going to have oversight over much?

is it going to fall to voters in 2 years and what damage could happen between now and them if that's if that's the case. yeah. and then i want to get some more appointments in the 2nd, but now that you mention, you know, the, the balance of power and the checks and balances in the us. we still don't know who's going to control the house of representatives. what's the most likely outcome at this point? what's it looking like we, we, we do have an idea of the republicans, are there in position to actually have control. the question is by what the margin is going to be and it still looks like it could be close. at the end, it's going to be close, whether it's by one to members of congress, whatever it is, is going to be close. and that gives more power to individual congress, members themselves to demand certain concessions when bills come through. it means that in general, that the republicans will have control of the house will be able to sort guide legislation to be able to take off legislation control. what's taken up by the congress, but that it also means that these sort of more radical elements, especially on the far right, we see the freedom caucus much more the sort of populist congressman within the

republican party. they've been a bit of a headache for the more traditional members. they might have more of a say because this is going to be so close. it also means that more moderates who may want to caucus with a democratic over to their side, essentially on certain vote. they may be able to do that with more ease, be able to extract more concessions. but let's remember that in general with this white house, a lot of what's been promised, what he's looking at. it's really not going to be legislative, maybe some of the tax cod succeeding tax stuff that's gonna help the legislative, some border funding mechanisms. but lot of what he's talking about includes executive orders. it includes things like pardons for the january, 6, people who are accused there who were convicted, i should say. so this is a presidency to talk more about executive power. then he does working through the legislature, but still there's a lot that can be done. yeah. and another appointment that we know about at this point is the secretary of defense. what do you make of the tag stuff? yup. pete heads up is probably one of the more shocking appointments if it takes place. so nominate sions i should say. and yet it's still within the realm of

possibilities for trop is not a surprise. and one way he's, he's a fox mouthpiece fox news now he's, he's a loyalist in every sense of the word. he supports trump through thick and then he said that, you know, trump plays a role put there by god essentially. and so he is a color commentator, he was a former, is a veteran of the army. and so that has his connection to the military not sense, but that doesn't really say much more. he doesn't have any experience in the military bureaucracy in the pentagon. and in fact, he's really gone against them recently through some high profile charges against service members, accused and convicted in some cases of wrong doing in recent wars in iraq and afghanistan. so he's very much on the popular side supporting where the little man soldier, targeted by the big bureaucracy. it's not always that simple. some of these men were very much did wrong or very accused as reason to believe that they did things that were agreed just in fact. but because that's the way the environment is among conservative populace. you know, he's going to feel that way. he's going to po with trump and he speaks very much to that side. but huge questions about can he manage

a bureaucracy as big as the d o d, the budget is massive. it's the biggest department with in el salvador as president night. ok, there has admitted that a 1000 innocent people were arrested as part of his government is cracked down on the street gangs book and it says they have already been released more than 80000 people were arrested under a state of emergency human rights groups say around a 3rd of them are in a sense, australia and indonesia. i have begun joint military drills after signing an agreement to boost defense cooperation. the 4 day exercises and java involving around 2000 troops covering land, air, and sea operations. defense has become a priority of indonesia as new president, for both of us to be unto who is daunting, deep military cooperation with many states in the region. german transel of shots and the opposition have agreed on a date when the country will go to the polls. south elections are expected to take place on the 23rd of february. it will be a brave winter election in germany instead of the usual september pro life

sheltered social democrats and the opposition. c. d u. c. s. you have both accepted an early date somewhere between what the 2 sides were hoping for to happen once we have agreed to propose to the gym and president arden that the election of the 21st german bonus tag should take place on the 23rd of february 202550 von, some items fontes dodge, and when the stock chancellor shelves announced last week, he would call a confidence vote and take us the collections that was up to his government collapsed when he dismissed finance minister, christie, and link the head of the free democrats, one of the 3 parties in his coalition shots hopes to be nominated as his policies candidate for chancellor had returned to lead and the government is still with us. i believe this will help us to finally come to a clear focus,

namely who is the better chance left the gym and they hadn't had you know that i am firmly convinced the show to set up this country well in the most difficult conditions over the last 3 years, but didn't woman these lands good guitar? not a continuation of charlotte, says john slo, looks unlikely that according to the pulse freezers manse could be on his way to the top job. he's sent a right group is set to come out of an election as the largest party, but it would need coalition passes and the make up of any future government is i'm clear. meanwhile, concerns have been raised. the rushing to the oppose good cause problems for the smooth running of an election. until just a week ago, the parties were still planning for regular elections 10 months from now. now they will have to scramble to pick candidates, and the authorities will have to meet legal deadlines much sooner with work to do over the christmas and new year holiday season. but jim and his chief electoral

officer says she thinks february, the 23rd is doable. a better time by the it's crazy, no easy task. world skills sees itself as a festival for the trades promoting vocational training across different fields. for lisa marie and macs, the focuses on learning from each other. this is particularly evident when they check out their competitors work the, the sugars, sculptures being made here, showcase a lot of new techniques. you can draw inspiration from them either for the next competition or even for personal projects and meeting all these people is just super interesting a time. so some of the world skills, as even created a symbol for this exchange is in these are opinions from different

countries. every country brings a pin and you can trade them and then you can only get one. if you give one on, i got a special pin from tie one that can light up. hardly anyone has one like it, and that's supposed to be one this year and the young. 60 different skills are being showcased. 1400 participants from 70 countries compete under type time constraints with the judges of value weighting the results. i never would have thought hotel reception could be a skill. that's really cool, but i bet it's stressful about 5 minutes here. what's intense is all the spectators, they're standing right there watching. at least we've got a windows separating us to the organizers. everything is running like clockwork. school groups are getting information about vocational opportunities. we have high engagement from the ministry of education because obviously the objective is to get this used in the workforce. germany's ministry of education and research support

and its national team in 2024, with nearly 1100000 euros. but no senior ministry from germany visit is a competition at their final stop. liza marie and the max visit their teammate kim, the florist after 4 days of competition. the world skills event in leo comes to an end a little much is also hiring in memphis, tennessee, but he needs people with a different skill set to local hero, elvis presley, namely height cx, but they'll be working at muskets new computer facility. but the problem comes with some issues for the like calabria, such as drinking water shortages and higher emissions. that's what the sites neighbors are, reggie experiencing,

the savings of the mighty mississippi in south west tennessee. perhaps, best known around the world because of this guy, king rock and roll categories. presley lived here and argue of lease, still a lot. some race states still takes more than at least half a 1000000 visitors every year. however, memphis is not to sell the city of roughly 1000000 citizens is, for example, also home to global logistics pe, he must federal express for in short, fedex. the airport of memphis things to fedex is one of the busiest cargo helps in the world. only 2nd to hong kong. so far so good. but of course memphis has its site on more gross and wells. it is a business least set on creating a diverse future proof of business landscape. that's where high tech comes in. and in this case, the most and his relatively new company, x

a i for me and i believe for the city of memphis and the surrounding area. one of the big advantages of having the musk super computer here is to bring more prominence to the area as a technology. you know, most investment to your account's messed safely for memphis, and is truly astonished. or perhaps not. that depends on how one looks at. most confounded tast latest artificially intelligent start up x a. i in march 2023. the problem is to release quote, the most powerful a i in the world and quote, by december 2024. the a model is called rock 3 and it's training would happen at noon massive state slash training center in memphis, muska now and here it is in an industrial section of memphis in the southern part

of town. it is this facility that is supposed to supply the compute power for it's artificial intelligence company, x a i. and with that, the brains arms and legs for grog 3. that takes a lot of computing power to do right. there's a lot of competition in general today, i space each company is trying to how do the other and as they add more and more features to the generative a i, it requires more and more computing power. and a, i requires more electricity to complete even simple tests compared to a typical search queries. the electricity must come from somewhere, it must be produced. and here's the hit. in the us about 60 percent of that electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, which is the primary driver of climate. hello, we're meeting yolanda cooper, something at a local coffee shop. she's the city council, the woman representing the district in which most buildings data center i serve

some of the ports districts here in memphis. and when i say the pores, mostly brown, in digit is people of color into our size. tells the woman to herself miss anything but happy about how memphis i must found each other. the process of how must x a facility in memphis came to pass, has been shady. she says, the facility was hastily approved almost secretly. and them built in just a few months of the process and how this business transaction took place was without the knowledge of myself and other count them in this i found out on the new sit it in my living room. and my recliner, the councilman wasn't the only one left in the dock about the new x, a i facility communities neighboring the data center were given no information need

. we're not saying that we didn't want the business or the business shouldn't be here. but what you did was you left the people that lives in the city who are some large, the plains, the great in memphis chamber of commerce with that. and she's not alone. a group of representatives and activities of various local environmental and community engagement organizations has invited media to press conference and one of the smallpox at downtown memphis, the list of grievances as long and diverse that there is the water issue. the local utility company, memphis life gas, and water, or m l g w says the moment most super computer gets to full capacity. it's going to need 1000000 gallons of water per day for cooling. memphis drinking water comes from an accurate, ancient lake underground. taking it from yak,

refer is problem at water is life is an absolutely critical resource that every thing needs for survival industries do need water for their process. businesses do need water to make their revenue with that should never be put in front of the drinking water needs. a resident another major grievance. air pollution, which in this case has to do with the data centers need for a vast amount of electricity. at full capacity, most facility needs 150 megawatts of electricity. that's enough to cover $100000.00 plus homes per year. but already, even, it's not yet full compute power x a i use is 18. the same gas turbines to produce enough power for the complex gas powered arrow. the riveted turbines mounted on trailers that are spewing climate, changing emissions into this communities, air right now. air that was already regularly exceeding

the da's attainment guidelines for ozone on an almost everyday basis this summer. and this without any environmental impact statement or even a permit due to the legal loophole that they're on trailers and they're only temporary. but actually they could be run $364.00 days a year. and finally, there is the equity and the quality issue. framing all other problems, the screw stuff with mosques, presence in memphis, and with the cities chamber of or is conducting securing his investment to you in the 1st place. community activists keyshawn pearson takes us to the industrial area that now houses x a, a. the new facility is neighboring bucks, towns, a small dominantly african american community that was established by and slaves, people in 1863 residents of flux, town,

and other small communities in the area continue to miss out on any benefits whatsoever. mosques, invest that next door. we've seen it played over and over and over again. it's the same playbook. and so for us, what is the material economic benefit? what's the material? environmental benefit of this organization being here? what's crazy about this situation in particular or what stands out is the fact that the leadership of this organization is a proponent, quote, unquote of environmental. isn't yet you are power. and this facility using dirty gas discontinue, just supplicate us every other day or so. the song is inbox down and goes from house to house and door to door, reaching out to its residents about the whole, you know, mosque situation. just as stone throws away from the neighbors, he admits that his organization and the other groups are facing david versus goliath. but he refuses to give up

and that's it for another edition of made, taking in both global skilled workers shortages and new opportunities and solutions . see you next week and a k, the, the the

indian professionals rate germany, highly for i like, uh, someone technologies. the best thing is, um the, the society is set up. i mean, the healthcare system that you're going to stop the work life balance. and like the germans, they also dislike. i definitely did of adults on the bureau guessing it's it's the weather, piano fishing, super slow, made in germany next on d, w, and rules for decades, etc. if the city people change clothes even destroyed

the oldest as it was built, it was turned down 35 keys and changed the count down to 19 the if you like, history but with the side of culture, travel and control to see this one. i might just do it and i may send a book us that will put the wow back to back into your everyday life. every day we encounter so many things that we don't even notice and i just got a straight into the background, but it is self. i'm trying to spot my own them. what you say might just surprise. we're going to dig up the, the on the everyday things around. when did they come from? when, why did they have all the time?

i should, we can just search for the day and take them out for the do you suffer from a heavy what, like, maybe you don't have enough coworkers from house cat to i t and education. there were labor shortages everywhere, which is why more and more companies are hiring what because from a broad gym and he wants to make it easy for workers to emigrate from countries like india. today's so ready, betsy? a whole bunch. how would they ferrying with a new language and culture the post that one made today which sick to in germany is suffering the most from a shortage of skilled work? cuz how readily.
