germany and all the rich nations have to pay a lot more. germany's climate and boy, it's called splendid 9, tells us about the progress the gulf is welcome to the program. republicans have won enough states to control the united states house of representatives. the results, gifts, the republicans and president elect. donald trump a governing tri fixer, which means control of the senate's house and the white house. but even with that majority, trump may still not get everything he wants, including his top picks for cabinet and jobs. donald trump returned to washington this week try, i'm sent. relishing his election when and what he called
4:02 pm
a powerful mandate. well, thank you very much. is a very nice gathering. isn't that nice when nice to in colors. 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 transit king investigation with the one that ended without criminal charges, summers and fox news channel. hosp 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 their roles. the pix must be consumed
4:03 pm
by the senate, while republicans have a 53 seat majority. the nominations, approved and 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 would exchange signaling a vastly different era for us leadership with democrats now facing an uphill battle to combat trumps agenda. with me on this duty is now a little forward alias familiars election, a team problem we just sold by then a trump meeting for mr. trump. this transition will be easier. will it not with control of the senate and the house or upsets, so it's good news for at the republicans because it allows the republicans to push
4:04 pm
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 ad that we saw back in 2016. the 1st time trump came into office, we're seeing it more unity there. and the issues may lie in the center because of just have the structure works in order to get through santa 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
4:05 pm
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 again, did you asked for additional system is in a very different ties 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 leading, meaning that there will be fewer legal challenges,
4:06 pm
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 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. 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 and 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,
4:07 pm
of the past few years working as a politician, as i mentioned and, and he would interestingly and shockingly, for many 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 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 step down as a member of the house of representatives and uh, any other nominations that have come to the one that you on site as well as chelsea gilbert. 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
4:08 pm
provoked, rushed into aggressive policies ever been 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 then in these moment, nations 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 many ways is shocking and many aspects, but we're already prepared. we know he's unpredictable. davosto is particularly india unpredictable. he is in the pub. thank you very much, scott. let's have a look now. some of the other stores making headlines around the world today. is there any police of demolish, the arabella and village of whom all is the wrong in the southern in southern these wells. and the gift, as it is uh, says the villages was quoting illegally and off at them, plots and a nearby bit of in town veteran and archie community to choose israel,
4:09 pm
a full simply displacing them to construct the jewish community. siri and state media say at least 15 people have been killed and is really strikes on residential buildings in damascus. 60. now those are reports of engine international will monitors have confront this price. israel has recently ramped up the tax in syria saying it is targeting sites links to be hezbollah. militant from u. n. investigative committee says israel's practices in gaza consistent with the coast of it, collect listings of genocide. it points to most civilian casualties and life threatening conditions intentionally opposed on palestinians. the committee, if use israel, of using starvation as a method of war, as well as in ice allegations of gym. israel's military says it has hit roughly 30 targets in an aerial baby. boots southern suburbs, controlled by has by the strikes came over a period of 48 hours and to officer. an evacuation order was issued for the area is
4:10 pm
realized. intensive 5, it's competing against the balance, improved in september, overnight as strikes and also the re shelly, also in the south of the country where a local media, se 5 people i've been to, the goal has claims thousands of civilian lives. it's stella now has more on the impacts of these attacks 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 and the neighborhood was here 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 of the
4:11 pm
rubber mohammad 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 who in jury, who used to move 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 the exclusive 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 on with the nice house ministry says more than 100 children have been killed and many more injured. that is, in the 50 days since israel estimated to consider it is the mental status as children,
4:12 pm
not just the physical that is at risk. many children has been dirt 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 and to shelter and pavement for the next hour. the children have the space to express their emotions in a group painting. there's a lot of things i'd see on stress and detachment issues which is very normal then it shows with the kids who just run and hug me even though it's the, 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 paint the sun, to paint the sky, to just play with the medium itself is very important for them. just be
4:13 pm
free and forget and named who is planning to expend, to assistance. she wants to reach more children and different shelters, and is collecting donations for her person, the initiative, and the hope that she can help more children have a small break from the war. and early i'll see w, it's beverly bill, chief mohammed tre, tape hall of the 6 weeks full has been effective children in 11 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 well. stepped up, it's bombardments, campaign, across a little bit on but also mentally and morally. just tried to imagine life for thousands of children and their families away from home, 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
4:14 pm
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 effects of these attacks on children in the development, or 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 the shelter. instead, many of these children's have lost some of the members and friends and relatives who were killed in his really strikes across the country. so, and we ordered a hearing and many of them speaking about revenge in the next. what with a is while, as you know they, they very often still hear loud booms of heavy airstrikes in here and never known.
4:15 pm
and they constantly hear the very annoying sound office, right. you drones overhead all day long. so it's not at all a, 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. so this is, this is a, another layer of the problem. the health care system is struggling to hand the hands of the 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 to or me. and this is further the overwhelming the, the rest of the health care centers across the country. we also need take, we need to take into account into consideration and that live in and has been
4:16 pm
through a 4 years off financial and economic collapse. and, and 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 feed up. just be able to be able to achieve well, how much should i say? thank you very much moment and i have some more news in brief for you in the us find the us tech giant mess up almost 800000000 useful anti competitive practices. it says meta views, disposition by forcibly linking uses on its social network, facebook to facebook marketplace, so classified as planned for the fine also covers unsaturated conditions. meta imposed on competitors. it's using facebook and instagram to advertise.
4:17 pm
russia has all the closure of most cows, gulag history museum that is dedicated to the victims of soviet era. repression is the unofficial say that decision follows the violation of safety regulations. but it comes while the kremlin is containing to downplay the horrors of soviet imprisonment of millions of people, including political dissidents. authorities in brazil say a man who failed in an attempt to break into the supreme court, killed himself in explosions outside the building. 2 strong blocks. only seconds of papa had in the evening off to the sessions that ended the building was evacuate for zillow house. the 20 lead is next week. an independent group of scientists, monitoring climate change says there has been no progress on lowering the full costs for global warming for 3rd year in a row. that warning comes as countries are gathering. and because about john,
4:18 pm
for the annual un climate. so the focus after this is comp 29 is on such a new financial goals to help developing countries cope with the effects of climate change bound to this new lead. um, well home on eunice land, the rich countries responsible for decades of carbon emissions. reason for not being willing to pay what he calls the fash. the german delegation is also joining the adults and by cool. but with germany is government politically paralyzed and its own economic economy is struggling. what does that mean for poor countries and seeking more support from berlin? by called me called fluid is put that question to jennifer morgan, the former breed green peace chief executive, and driving his special envoy for international climate policy. on germany is a, as a strong economy, we are now moving forward with elections, which will come early next year. and here we have a full mandate of existing minority governments. we are able and we stand by our
4:19 pm
clients commitments, whether that be around the climate finance part, germany is actually often found to be one of a meeting our fair share in this. we do that out of our own reasons and also due to the responsibility that we have. and we're here negotiating for a fair and ambitious new climate finance agreement. yeah. how much did you say you have a full mandate, but how much has the political crisis under me? we can to your negotiating position there in baku, as we are based on the existing governments, it hasn't weakens anything. we're here very clearly strong part of the teen europe . not only are we moving forward on our climate finance, we're also moving forward in our economic plan to the carbon either economy. we're now at 60 percent renewable energy, which is helping drive down electricity prices in germany. we have a stable grid,
4:20 pm
one of the most stable in the world, 400000 jobs in renewable energy. and that is, as our leaders in europe last week said, the cornerstone of our competitiveness strategy here in europe is the climate neutral economy. and we are working very hard and being quite successful in being the 1st climate neutral, con, 8 percent reduction from europe just last year, due to renewable energy. now, at what's really on the table here as part of the funding deals being negotiated ad comp, how much is germany willing to commit per year to combating the climate crisis as well. what we're negotiating here really is a new approach to climate finance. it's about a 10 year collect goal. so it's going from 2026. moving forward to 2035, approximately. right. so 10 years 20252035. and the question is, okay,
4:21 pm
how can we be increasing the financing, increasing and mobilizing the funding for the poor us the most vulnerable countries in the world developed countries including germany and the european union upset already. we're ready to stay on that 100000000000 commitment. that is there and has been met uh, moving forward, but um and we would be willing to go further and ship in more if other countries that know do not have commitments right now. what also chip and those that are economically prosperous, those that are large historical emitters. um we can do more if they come in. are they likely to come in? everything that happens at cobb is famously non binding. so is this really going to make a difference? as well, i think that, you know, the paris agreement is really a very resilient agreement. and we see that although the 100000000000 was a political commitment, we have account ability and we stand by that accountability and i think for other
4:22 pm
countries that are now playing a leadership role. uh role um wanting to have that leadership role across the world with that leadership role also comes responsibility and the expectations are large and the needs are great. so we need to all be working together in order to get more finance and mobilization of private sector finance. which is also quite important to those countries that need it most and for that we need more countries to come in . i think that expectation is clear and the pressure is also there is talk about accountability, a global carbon emissions from fossil fuels reached a record high in 2023. the un just now came out warning. the 2024 is the 1st year. the world actually cracked the 1.5 to pretty global warming targets set in the paris agreement. so i really want to ask you, what's the point of comp is there seems to be no real political will to make the changes, we need to avoid the climate catastrophe. if there is political will,
4:23 pm
we would be on a much higher rise of temperature up to $4.00 to $5.00 degrees or the projections without the paras agreement. however, we all need to be digging in and doing more. the european union is on track for our commitment. germany is on track for our commitment of a 65 percent reduction by 2030 a. but we need all to come in. we need the next round of the national climate plans which are due next year requires all of us to spiral up our ambition. the g 20 particularly plays a key role. but we need these forms. we need the parents agreement because without it there would be no place for the most vulnerable countries to be at the table and it is about their very existence. so we are in a climate crisis. we need to move forward. and the good news is that the economy is actually shifting more renewable energy,
4:24 pm
double investment and renewables on fossil fuels last year. yeah, i want to, to get into that all of us, especially when it comes to the g 20 nations because it of course includes the biggest polluters on the planet among them the united states and donald trump is widely expected to pull out of the parish climate accord again, once he's back in office, he promised to drill baby drill on many of his rallies. so how much is this presidency going to throw global efforts to tackle climate change off course? i mean what i'm experiencing here, but it doesn't need to be here. it's really about the economy. what we are seeing is a positive tipping point in renewable energy and moving forward on that tripling renewables that we all agreed last year. as i said, double the investment and renewables and fossil 85 percent of new power plants are renewable. and according to the international agent energy agency, where these numbers come from, we will likely see an oversupply,
4:25 pm
a glut of gas in 2026 and a peak of fossil fuels and 2030. so if you're looking at big deals and numbers of where you can have prosperity for your country, this is the area. and what we are seeing is germany and are over 40 partnerships with countries around the world. is they want to go into this area of renewables and efficiency because they want and need the jobs for economic development. they need to reduce air pollution for human health. that's not what we heard from donald trump on the campaign trail at least, and he's not expected to support any future funding deal on combining climate change. so they're in by who may be already what alternatives are being discussed to bridge that potential shortfall. so the european union and other countries here can speak for the european union. we are the largest for finance or is for climate finance globally. we continue to move forward. we expect all countries,
4:26 pm
including, of course, the united states as the historical largest emitter, to continue to contribute. it's in all of our national interest to do so. and we're working here with countries to, to forge an ambitious and fair outcome by the end of this call. that was dennis of old in germany, special envoy for climate policy talking to nicole foot. now, marine scientists have discovered was believe to be the largest carl on the us and the pacific ocean research was founded near the solomon islands, initially believing it was a ship wreck. the carl is 30 to meet as wide and $34.00 meet as little research as say it is distinct from a coral reef which is made up of many karl colonies. the idea is a reminder of our top story. republicans want enough seats to control the us house of representatives, segmenting that hold on both legislative chambliss and the white house. the result
4:27 pm
gives the republicans and president elect donald trump full control of the gulf message for me under the scene. for now, my colleague brand golf, when i have a world news update for you at the top of the out of gas bill. so that's the
4:28 pm
critical best estimate right now. and to the conflict highlighted the negative components survivalist time processing, the next conflict for data with china, the little fortunately, how do you expect to take on sullivan? the situation
4:29 pm
on d. w. the seo to lie lower in carbon emissions, reforestation in 2 certificates. the $1000000000.00 business for the guilty conscience is booming. but with the system of lack of transparency, climate researchers may skeptical the what carbon all sitting really does for the climate. in 45 minutes, d, w, the likes to come out when you break on gender and identity, how does on mental health impact i loved lives? how do we approach money within our relationship? so it is one of the few sources listening to content about sexuality and sexual
4:30 pm
