2:03 pm
. yeah, trump met with president joe biden on wednesday, the polite but we could exchange signaling a vastly different era. so us leadership with democrats now facing an uphill battle to combat trump's agenda with me and his duty is now a little forward alias familiars election, a team problem we just sold by and then a trump, the 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 as 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 ad that we saw back in 2016. the 1st time trump came into office,
2:04 pm
we're seeing it more unity there. and the issues may lie in the sentence because of just have the structure works in order to get through santa bills. you need a 350 majority. so basically you need that it 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, there's another element which is the u. s. traditional system. of course. once
2:05 pm
again, did you asked for additional system isn't 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 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 he's going to be the next attorney general, the country's top law enforcement official. that's right. there's been plenty of
2:06 pm
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 sex profiting minors. now he's always denied those allegations and those charges
2:07 pm
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 that of course, because he stepped 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 ends in syria. and since even suggested that the us provoked rushed into aggressive policies with peter being plenty of people who said that she's very too friendly to russia. and so that's also caused a lot of concern. and right now what's, what's the common thread done in these moment? nations here's loyalty to donald,
2:08 pm
that's it is and 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 in those particular to india unpredictable. he is in the 5 a thank you very much. i scott, a time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. russia has ordered the closure of most cows, deluxe history museum is dedicated to the victims of soviet era. repression is even official say that decision follows the violation of safety regulations. but it comes while the president is complaining to downplay the horrors of soviet and president of millions of people, including political dissidents. iran says it will continue to work with the un, no fee of agency, but not on the pressure that we bought. com, this i a chief rough l. grossey visits a wrong european powers up pushing for
2:09 pm
a new resolution against the run over what they've us for cooperation process pushing for assistance with monitoring. it's new to you and investigative committee says israel's practices in gaza. a consistent with the characteristics of genocide funds to most civilian casualties of life threatening conditions imposed on palestinians. the committee excuses as well of using starvation as a method of all is well denies. locations, objects. diplomatic sol as is i've confirmed to dw that the european union's outgoing for an policy it sees. joseph brown has proposed the blocks to suspend political dialogue with his route. and let's head to e. u foreign ministers. he's sides serious concerns about possible breaches of international humanitarian law in gaza. your top diplomat argues israel has not
2:10 pm
sufficiently address these concerns. a suspension would need. the approval from o. u. member states for ministers are expected to discuss the proposal at that meeting on monday. it's the last one, brown chairs before ending is 5 year term. as a process correspondent rosie budget told me more about barrels initiative. well, the context here is the european union. israel have a written agreement which governs their relationship girlfriends, 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 the strip, or say, israel must respect international humanitarian law. and what burrell is asking is,
2:11 pm
but a member of states go beyond that and assess whether it's international, humanitarian law has indeed being respected. israel says it has, burrell says, there's enough evidence to suggest that it has no lock. she prompts a discussion. and if there is a discussion which in which members they say, 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, how to present that they will ask ministers to come see the, with the easy route, east, violating human rights with the isn't all these respecting or not international humanitarian law in line with the, 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. that'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,
2:12 pm
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 many you member states, including for example, ireland and spain would like to go even further than burials proposal if they would like to suspend some trade parts of a trade agreement with israel or the u. member states like hungry and check here, for example, tend to be much still enter in their support vote. 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 . as a dependent group assigned to this monitoring climate
