gab health is welcome to the program. republicans have won enough seats to control the united states house of representatives. the result gives the republicans and president elect donald trump, a governing tri fixed up with the control of the senate's house, ad whitehouse spots. even with that majority, trump may still not get everything he wants, including his topics for cabinet jobs. donald trump returned to washington this week, try on, sent, relishing his election when and what he called a powerful mandate. well thank you very much, is a very nice gathering is, is i still in nice to in so it's nice to a lot of good friends. it is those good friends and now being nominated for top

government positions among them. attorney general pick met gates, a loyal trump follow a who has often acted as his attack dog on capitol hill. gates has been the subject of a federal 6 trafficking investigation with the one that ended without criminal charges . summers and fox news channel hos pete hicks is a military veteran whom trump once as defend secret tree. the civilian nomination has reportedly shocked many at the pentagon with concerns he could politicize the defense department, touching the top generals. but from may face challenges securing them in the roles, and the pix must be consumed by the senate, while republicans have a 53 seat majority. the nominations approving controversial, even within their own ranks. republicans presenting a largely united front with the senate house and white house now under the control
1:03 pm
. yeah, trump meet with president joe biden on wednesday, the polite but for quit exchange signaling a vastly different era. so us leadership with democrats now facing an uphill battle to combat trumps agenda. with me is duty is now a little phone. it is familiars election, a team problem we just sold by then a trump, that meeting for mr. trump. this transition will be easy or will it not with control of the senate and the officer website. so it's good news for the republicans because it allows the republicans to push through at sweeping changes to the economy. uh, environmental protections. and of course, that much talked about migration policy and we're looking at a republican party that is very different to the one that we saw back in 2016. the
1:04 pm
1st time trump came into office, we're seeing it more unity there and be issues may lie in the center because of just have the structure works in order to get through send it builds, you need a 350 majority. so basically you need that to avoid this thing called the filibuster, which basically is a way of stalling legislation by keeping at the debate going endlessly. so what will happen is that republicans in the senate will now have to go across the aisle and get some support from democrats if they want to avoid this issue. that means that legislation may need to be watered down in order to get it through and meaning that there's going to have to be conversations with democrats. and also the senate tends to work a little bit more independently in to maybe the president and whoever is in office . so he can do. he just said that he does not have cop launch. right? no, no, he doesn't sign. of course, you know,
1:05 pm
there's another element which is the us traditional system. of course. once again, did you ask for additional system is in a very different place to the where it was in 2016 because back in 2016, it wasn't, as we'll say, conservative frenzy as it is. now if we go from the very top where you have the supreme court at the supreme court is definitely definitely more conservative leaning, but it's not just in the top top courts. it's also lower diamond as well. we're seeing that it's definitely more conservative, friendly. so in the event that, for example, donald trump decides to push through executive orders. the difference now is that the chances are that that will remain at if there are any legal challenges at. the courts tend to be a bit more conservative leaning meaning that there will be fewer legal challenges, or at least it'll be easier for donald trump to maintain those executive orders. now the last few days, a trump's team has been taking shape. let's start with one limitation. met gets
1:06 pm
he's going to be the next attorney general, the country's top law enforcement official. that's right. there's been plenty of conversation and we're going to be having a lot of the conversations over the next weeks and months, particularly. my case is that potentially going to be the attorney general. he is a fears, trump, loyalist, and he's been known as a bit of a people at in washington has always been on donald trump side, or at least in the past few years. he's now a former congressman from florida. he's a very divisive figure, even among republicans. and he has limited experience even working as a lawyer, much less than previous attorneys general in the united states. so that's also one thing that may not go in his favor. he's also spent most of his, of the past few years working as a politician, as i mentioned and, and he would interestingly and shockingly for many would be potentially meeting the branch of government that had actually been investigating him at for allegations of
1:07 pm
sex profiting minors. now he's always denied those allegations and those charges and that investigation weren't charges, but those investigations were dropped back in 2023. but it's also important to mention as well that the house ethics committee had been investigating allegations that gates was part of a sex trafficking scheme as well. that's now and then of course, because he step down as a member of the house of representatives and uh, any other nominations that have full control, the one that you on site as well as tools he gabbert. she has been nominated as the director of national intelligence. she is a former democrat, very fiercely loyal as well to donald trump. once again, likes experience and intelligence matters. she's known because she is opposed to us interventions in both ukraine and in syria. and since even suggested that the us provoked rushed into aggressive policies, there were being plenty of people who said that she's very too friendly at to russia. and so that's also caused a lot of concern. and right now what's,
1:08 pm
what's the common thread done in these moment? nations here's loyalty to donald, that's it isn't, that's essentially what we've been seeing. fierce loyalty to donald trump. it's not a surprise. and donald trump in many ways is shocking and many aspects, but we're already prepared. we know he's unpredictable. i don't know if that was particularly india unpredictable. he is in the 5 a thank you very much, scott. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines, or hey, ron says it will continue to work with the you. i know clear agency, but not on the pressure. the remarks come as i a, a chief rough l. grossey visits say around your in pause of pushing for a new resolution against the wrong over what they've us full cooperation policies pushing for more assistance with monitoring. if nucleus un investigative committee says israel's practices in gaza are consistent with the
1:09 pm
correct to risk sticks of genocide. it points to mazda 1000000000 casualties and life threatening conditions intentionally imposed on palestinians. the committee accuses as well of using starvation as a method of rule as well. the nice allegations, often the method sources have confirmed to dw that the european union's outgoing for and policy to see feels that burrell has proposed to block, to suspend political dialogue with these route in a letter to you for an ministers. he's side serious concerns about possible breaches of international humanitarian law in gaza. your top diplomats are use as well, has not sufficiently address these concerns. a suspension would need approval from o. e u member states. foreign ministers are expected to discuss the proposal at the meeting on monday. the last one that route says before ending his 5 year term
1:10 pm
process correspondence rose budget as does return from the opium conditions. daily briefing, rosie tell us more about pro else initiative as well. the context here is that the european union and israel have a written agreement which governs their relationship governance, their trade ties, but also their political relations. what use that bro is suggesting is that part of that is suspended in general european union statements on israel's actions in gaza after those october 7th. come off. attacks. often ask the israel respect, international humanitarian law in district, or say, israel must respect international humanitarian law. and what burrell is asking is, but a member of states go beyond that and assess whether it's international, humanitarian law has indeed to be respected. israel says it has, burrell says, there's enough evidence to suggest that it has know that she prompts the discussion . and if there is a discussion which in which members they say,
1:11 pm
they believe it has been breached, then there should be political consequences taken. listen to quote the east for an affair spokesperson have to say when i asked him about this. the how to present that the will ask ministers to come see the with the easy route east, violating human rights with the isn't all these respect, think or not international humanitarian law in line with the respective articles in the association agreement. and he will invite to ministers to express their views on his proposal to suspense political now. so he will he get anywhere with the foreign ministers. it's probably not a e. u. member states tend to be extremely divided on this issue. it needs unanimous support and in general, wonderful not said to me, look if they can't even get agreement on a basic statement language that is highly unlikely. they agree to such a bigger step and the divisions tend to be along some these lines. so me, you member states including for example, ireland and spain would like to go even further than barrels proposal. they would
1:12 pm
like to suspend some trade to parts of a trade agreement with israel or the u. member states like hungry and check here, for example, tend to be much still on for and their support believe they would talk about israel's right to defend itself. germany more broadly just to note, says it has in the past said that it political communication should be kept open with israel. so it looks like this is not something which will necessarily go anywhere quickly. and it's worth noting also, i mean there are 2 sites in this conflict. you might be wondering about how possible that you consider is from us as a terrorist organization. that means there is no political agreement or dialogue, but it con, suspence. here is what was the budget that reporting from brussels? thank you. rosie. an independent group assigned to is monitoring climate change says the this has been no progress on lowering the full costs for global warming. preferred yeah, in a row. come on and comes as countries gathered and by cool as a by john full,
