drawing our services, be our guest at frankfurt and bought cd, managed by from bought the basis dw, and use live from bella. and donald trump completes a clean sweep of pilot. and the us elections. republican process which you as enough seats to retain control of the house of representatives. the wind gifts from so called twice fixed to where the president's policy also controls both causes of columbus. also coming on the union top diplomat suggests it's time for the bluff to suspend the dialogue with israel's government over the more engulf joseph brown sides possible human rights violations. biased and welfare is common lebanon's children both physically and psychologically. if i'm woman is trying to provide

a safe space for them and a baby in bay room where they can just speak to for what cost to you and slate as climate conference is underway. and the cool as a by john with the topic of funding taking set of states will germany and other rich nations have to pay a lot more german, his private as well as cops ended on tells us about progress or lack of the gulf is welcome to the program, the 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 try fix up with control of the senate, the house and the wife's house. but even with that majority, trump may still not get everything he wants,

including his topics for cabinet and jobs. donald trump return to washington this week, try on, sent, relishing his election when and what he called a powerful mandate. oh, thank you very much. is a very nice gathering, is that nice nice to and so it's nice to a lot of good friends. it is. so is 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 trends taking investigation with the one that ended without criminal charges, summers but i and fox news channel hosp hicks is a military veteran whom trump once as defend secret tray. the civilian nomination

has reportedly shocked many at the pentagon with concerns he could politicize the defense department, judging top generals. but from may face challenges securing them in the roles, the picks 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 . yeah, trump meet with president joe biden on wednesday, the polite, but we'll put exchange signaling a vastly different era for us leadership with democrats now facing an uphill battle to combat trumps agenda with me on his duty is now look forward to it is familiar as election a team problem we just sold by then a trump uh 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, 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 a bills, you need a 350 majority. so the, 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, there's another element which is the us traditional system. of course. once again, did you asked for additional system? isn't it 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 for envy. 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 from donald trump to maintain those executive orders. now the last few days of trumps team has been taking shape. let's start with one of them and there's many gets he's going to be the next attorney general, the country's top law enforcement official. that's right. as being connected to your 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 be potentially needing the branch of government that had actually been investigating him at for allegations of sex profiting minors. now he's always denied those allegations on those charges, and that investigation or the warrant 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's step down as a member of the house of representatives and uh, any other nominations that have to come to the one that you on site as well as tools he gathered. 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 syria and says, even suggested that the us provoked rush into aggressive policies. the room 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. i'm right now what's, what's the comments read then in these nominations? here's loyalty to donald. 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 90 ways is shocking and many aspects, but we're already prepared. we know he's unpredictable. that was predictable in the unpredictable d as in the problem. thank you very much. scott. the us secretary of state, down to the blinking, has been visiting nato headquarters in brussels, where he tried to reassure ukrainians. they'll still be able to defend the country

. also, donald trump takes office. trump has promised to end the war and ukraine in one day . and many fear that means cops in u. s. military support for pete's russia has stepped up. it's miss all and drawn strikes on your crime last night. your friends military says it shut down 21 russian drones wednesday. so the 1st russian missile attack on the capital and over 2 months, air raid sirens war, no incoming missiles, people seek shelter in an underground metro station. while driving attacks are common place. it was the 1st to miss all strike on teeth since august. it's horrible and we time there's a missile attacks we've gotten used to shaw head driving strides. if you can get used to that, because they happen every night we looked at because when the ukrainians had been waiting for a big missile attack for months at defenses,

intercepted to cruise missiles to ballistic missiles and dozens of trains. a very good morning in the future. of that defense was central when the us secretary of state met with lead us in brussels, including his ukranian council, passed the nato secretary general. defied and administration is scrambling to send as much military aid keeps away while still in office. it concerns about donald trump's commitment to ukraine. we've obligated just recently, and pushed out the door. another $8000000000.00 in security assistance for ukraine . that was the september. and now they're almost half a $1000000000.00 just a few weeks ago. and president biden is committed to making sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door between now and january 20th. and keep the full scale of the attack was not immediately clear, no of the extent of the damage. but as political turmoil elsewhere adds fuel, so the file rescues here will keep putting out the flames. let's, let's take

a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. russia has ordered the closure of most calls, gulag history music dedicated to the victims of soviet era repression. museum officials say that decision follows a violation of safety regulations. but it comes while the kremlin is campaigning to downplay the horace of soviet and president of millions people, including positive political decisions. international monitors say at least 4 people have been killed and then is really a strike on an apartment in the syrian capital, damascus. the serial number $73.00 for human rights, also report to the 2nd strike in the cities outskirts, as well as from top of tax in syria saying it is targeting sites that are linked to the has blown minutes. and are you an investigative committee says israel's practices in gaza, consistence with the characteristics of genocide. it points to mass civilian

casualties and life threatening conditions intentionally imposed on palestinian. the committee of choose israel, of using starvation as a method of world is rather nice allegations of tennessee. diplomatic sources have confirmed to the w that the european union's outgoing front policy chief, joseph burrell hosp, propose the block to suspend political dialogue with israel and elected to you for ministers. he's sides serious concerns about possible breaches of international humanitarian law and gaza. your top diplomat argues that as well, has not sufficiently address these concerns. the suspension would need approval from o. d. u member states. foreign ministers are expected to discuss the proposal at that meeting on monday. that's the last one, grow chairs before ending his 5 year term process correspondents, rosie budget, told me more about growth initiatives as well. the context here is the european

union. and israel have a written agreement which governs their relationship, governs 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 that a member 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 no lack. she's prompt to discuss it . and if there is a discussion which in which members they say, they believe it has been breached, then there should be political consequences. take a listen to quote of the use for and if there's books person have to say when i asked him about this,

know how to present that the will ask the ministers to come see the, with the easy route, east, violating human rights for 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 nile. so he, will he get anywhere with the foreign ministers. a 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 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 on for and their support believe they would talk about

israel's right to defend itself, germany more broadly, just to know. so 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. israel's military says it has hit roughly 30 targets in an area of bare with southern suburb control, bass blah. the strikes come over a period of 48 hours enough to interrupt you ation order was issued for the area as well. has intensified. it's competing against the minutes improved in september, overnight as strikes and thoughts. hillary sailing also hit the south of the country with local media, say 5 people i've been to. the goal has claims thousands of civilian lots,

a step that has more on the impact on children. just 6 weeks ago, mohammed was playing football every day, training to become the next ronaldo. now he's in a hospital bed during mobility exercises with his aunt, the 11 year old survived a news for any air strike on his hometown side. as on says the families home for lot of the building in the neighborhood. was it a to view when we arrived, none of the buildings were left standing. all the houses were destroyed. it took about an hour for the rescue teams diploma. her mother and his mother out probably know how much was severely injured. he says that the degree burns to almost half of his body, 6 weeks of to the attack, the swelling of his face as much better. and he was transferred to the new,

say time we hospital and a route. the only facility in the country that is specialized on treating patients with burns, a typical pool injury who used to move up in the 1st few weeks. he couldn't sleep. every time he closed his eyes, he'd wake up and stop crying for his mom and dad. all of us, well, how about this one of thousands of children who have suffered in this conflict is real claims that his targeting has full of military assets and never known. but they live in his house, ministry says more than 100 children have been killed. and many more injured that is in the 60 days since israel estimated the concept, it is the mental status as children, not just the physical that is at risk. many children has been during the strikes less time and the members or experience displacement the trauma could cause long term consequences. named with is on

a way to lead an art therapy session for this place, children in a shelter and be room for the next hour. the children have the space to express their emotions in a group painting. there's a lots of things i'd see on stress and detachment issues which is very normal and it shows with the kids who just run and hug me even if it's for them the 1st time they they see me quasi you doing painting why it's beautiful. being able to face to paints flowers, to feign, to send to paint this guy to just play with the medium itself is very important for them. just be free and forget and named who is planning to expend, to assistance. she wants to reach more children and different shelters, and just collecting donations for her person, the initiative, and the hope that she can help more children have a small break from the war. from all that spring. and i'll be with the chief

mohammed tried to mohammed that have 6 weeks of it comes to the tax effected children in lebanon very badly. indeed, the war is affecting children and families on so many aspect physically, of course, as the number of civilian casualties is on the increase as, as well. stepped up, it's bombardment campaign across a little bit on, but also mentally in more than the just try to imagine life for thousands of children and their families away from home. it's got to in shelters across the country and deprived from education and with very limited access to basic needs and services. it's, it's a horrible time for almost everyone here and depend on and particularly for those most fundable children and women. now what about the long term effect? so these attacks on children in the development a it's

a very frustrating time for children and their families. as the whole education system is on the brink and is disrupted by the war. thousands of children's r n a in schools, not for saving education, but at to shelter instead, many of these children's have lost some of the members and friends and relatives who were killed and is really strikes across the country. so, and we ordered the hearing and many of them speaking about revenge in the next war with his while as you know they, they very often still hear loud booms of heavy airstrikes it here and, and on. and they constantly hear the very annoying sound office, right? 80 drones overhead all day long. so it's not at all a safe and healthy environment for these children. and there's no question that thousands of them will and will be mentally affected. and uh, you know,

when we need support now is 11 is health care system able to handle all the people in need of treatment. this is, this is another layer of the problem. the health care system is struggling to end the hensley and increasing number of casualties and, and many hospitals went out of services into the city of active military operations between has blind is what you need, the army, and this is further the overwhelming the, the rest of the health care centers across the country. we also need to take, we need to take into account into consideration and that live in on has been through a 4 years off financial and economic collapse. and then it's, it's very much now depending on a, from the national organizations and the governments who have been sending food and

medical supplies. and that's in fact what is keeping the health care system able to, to operate, even though very hardly fit up. just be able to be a chief. well, how much strikes you? thank you very much. moment sri lankan have cost of votes in snap falling entry elections with major economic unconstitutional reforms on the ballots. trunk is new, left as president on newark tomorrow. is a nice is hoping to secure most states in parliament often when in the presidential vote in the september is an eye of his victory. and the decades of rule by political dynasty, which allows the blame for the country's economic price, is coalition. the national people's part only has 3 seats in the outgoing part. they have promised to fight poverty if they secure a majority results. so expected on from the rookie 100,

it is an investigative journalist and lawyer from colombo, sri lanka, and we off to what's at stake in this election. i think it's really important understand until she longer looks to complete the ability to go transition at this moment. and there is an expectation that under commodities on august national people's part with consolidated it's part of a by getting more than 50 percent of the seats. or let's see confident you get them majority in the house. a bunch of problems remain the same. we are in deep debt at the government, especially after beginning a bottom injection because it's understood that they would definitely pump the next government. we have so many tardies and the key things would be to stabilize the economy of freights to give it a to give it to ready to. so the government does actually try to not upset the

state of school and has worked in the i m s. and not made many changes, but i think for a long cause of poverty and the fact that the cost of living is unbearable for the majority of the people who become really very important issues. so now to the desktop, settling in an independent group of scientists, monitoring climate change says that there has been no progress on lowering the full costs for global warming for a 3rd year in a row. the warning comes as countries are gathered in baku as a by john full annual review in climate. so the focus of this is 29 is on setting new financial goals to help developing countries cope with you. fix the climate change on with this new lead. um, well, how much do you know specifically slammed slammed rich countries responsible for from well decades of compet emissions on the phone not being willing to what he calls the fashion show. this one of germany's delegates at the summit as
