but you can protect yourself and your family from diseases in the home by applying the 5 keys to see for use them. you also have a role to play. the, this is the w nears live in from berlin, maximum power in the united states. donald trump, the republicans will soon control the white house and both houses of congress. republicans have secured enough seats to control the house of representatives and the us senate, the when making possible what is being called the trump troy effect. also coming up the suffering of children in war torn level, they women and baby root is trying to provide a safe space for kids to simply be kids and police and self advocacy that they're determined to arrest hundreds of illegal minors that they cornered underground. the relatives say the miners will die without food and water, which police are blocking. and germany's economic experts have spoken the economy.

the largest economy in europe is suffering and the government needs to act. but it doesn't look like that. when this happens. any time soon, the i bring jobs, our viewers watching on cbs in the united states, and to all of you around the world. welcome. it is now official republicans in the us have one and not seems to control both the house of representatives and the us senate. now that gives president elect donald trump's party complete control over the incoming government. as head of the executive branch, trunk, consign, or veto legislation passed by congress, you can also sign executive orders. presidents can grant pardons for federal crime something that trump has promised to those supporters who had been jailed over the

january 6 2021 capital insurrection. the trumps republicans also dominate the legislative branch with majorities in both the house of representatives. and the senate truck now has a clear path to enact his agenda, which includes or could include mass deportations and sweeping terrorists on imports. coming from china as well as you are. there's also the judicial branch which is considered to be trump friendly. 3 of the 9 supreme court justices are trump appointees, and they have worked with 3 fellow conservatives to reshape the country with rulings on the abortion rights, gun rights and regulatory issues with the government in his control. and trump will depend on his fellow republicans in the us senate to approve his pigs for his cabinet before his 2nd term begins. in january donald trump return to washington this week, try i'm sent relishing his election when and what he called

a powerful mandate. well thank you very much, is a very nice gathering. is that nice there? 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 trans looking investigation with the one that ended with out 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 picks must be consumed by the senate, while republicans have a $53.00 seat majority denominations approving controversial, even within their own ranks. republicans presenting a largely united front with the senate house and white house now under the a control trump mit with president joe biden on wednesday, the polite but we could exchange signaling a vastly different era for us leadership with democrats now facing an uphill battle to combat trumps agenda. the use international editor chief international editor rich walker has more now on washington's reaction to donald trump denomination of mat. yes. us. yeah. well brent i, i think we're not really talking. we're kind of beyond raised eyebrows in the case of matt, get so me this is really seen is,

is kind of up long satellite in there like i browse on fire or something like that . just terms of the response that that has been suited to to donors i'm putting mac gets his name for it. i mean, we've had to little bit a bit that just of course in the introduction but, but he's a really extremely controversial vega who is only kind of disruptive kind of fall right frame to the republican policy. he's being then a close ally of marjorie taylor green. i think that it's a name that many people will recognize and somebody who's really made enemies within the republican party. so for instance, i mean, many of us will probably remember this phase when the republican party was at war with itself in the house of representatives and, and pulled the rug from under its own speech a kevin mccarthy. well it was, it was man gets where he was very much be heading that effort and made very much an enemy in the now form was b k, kevin mccarthy who he successfully managed to, to tough house. and i think there's a sense that donald trump, in picking him as he was nominate as he's no need to leave uh to be 10 channels and

leads the department of justice. but he wants that kind of attitude in depth and political, what trump said has said publicly on his social media posts, you know, he wants somebody who's kind of kind of have a root and bronze disruptive effect within the department of justice. and, but i think the concern is that it will only serve to politicize is the department of justice, which the republicans claim is being politicized on the joe biden. but that the, that the, this referenced to take that much, much further, i should add though, is quite interesting. you see that there are one or 2 voices come coming out and saying, well, you know, mike gets has actually made it a bit of a profile for himself on slightly unexpected areas where the res, cannabis reform and also in terms of taking on the big tech companies, for instance, saying that the non can, she closes which that is the 610 sounds kind of one key, but it is quite an interesting topic. then a lot of tech companies force new employees to sign,

not what it called non complete closes, which i think that essentially kind of tie them to that company so that they cannot then go and work for another company within a certain amount of time off to it, if they want to, that matt gets, has been outlined with some democrats on trying to take on those of the company so . so you've got some interesting voices on the left. those are coming in saying, hey, this guy isn't necessarily so bad. but i think that just goes to what it's potentially disrupt to pick this person is with, you know, appraised from the mega front to the far left, but many mainstream. because republicans pricey uncomfortable with him, i think. and if we were to have met, it gets, as the attorney general, this would be an attorney general who was himself investigated by the justice department on suspicion to child 6 traffic in the us house was about to take up this investigation. um, with all of this, do you think that the majority of the republicans, particularly in the, in the senate, are, are they going to support him in, or will there be some republican outliers here?

so i think that is the question. yeah, the weather gets, is, is a bit more of a kind of a, you know, a sort of a showing nomination that is considered unlikely to get through the senate. um, so the republicans have 53 seats in the upcoming senate. and i was speaking to one republican, a few weeks before the election, who was talking about the kinds of nominations that donald trump would be able to come up with. and the more controversial ones, he said, you would need $53.00, maybe $54.00 seats in the senate to be able to overcome the possibility of republican defections. so we're kind of just on the edge that, but i think matt gets, has just about as controversial a pick as you could potentially come up with for, for the income administration. so we shall see. but that have already been quite critical comments coming from uh, for instance, susan collins the, the spanish and from maine, the most of the centers from alaska. so we shall see. but i think another sign that

donald trump is really trying to kind of mix it up with the nominations that he's making for his new administration. and i guess we should have expected exactly that to happen. yeah, eyebrows and fire. that's a great image, richard, that you're going to have for the rest of the evening. our chief international editor richard walker in washington. richard, thank you. as donald trump's administration continues to take shape, one thing has become clear. a long musk will be part of the incoming president's richard supporter is set to be. washington's efficiencies are co director of the new department of government efficiency. but musk and trumps flowering friendship. it's a fairly new develop. it is this, it's a match the world's most powerful man and the world's richest man. the trump muscles, romance bloomed during the final weeks of the us presidential election. boy boy, but he created the 1st major american car company in generations. it is

right. good company is the only reason we can now send a narrative as well. as you can see, i'm, i'm not just now got doc mega president trump must, when to preserve the constitution, he must, when to preserve democracy in america must be used to sell a much different being a general or supporter of democratic candidates in keeping his distance from trump, during his 1st term and the white house. he has since changed course and don't need it at least $132000000.00 to the trump campaign. trump change from us golf course with wealth was most recently paid at $290000000000.00 up over 10 percent since the election business and the list that informa expect him to become the world's 1st trillion. they are by 2027 mosques business career began with an online city guide company named zip to corp. in 1995, 4 years later,

the co found at the online payment company x dot com that merged with paypal musk started space x in 2001 took over test 92004. he launched satellite internet providers star link in 2015 and newer technology startup. newer a link in 20162017. he launched the boring company. lastly, in 2022. musk took over social media, try and twitter, and later renamed it ex. he still owns the domain from is only a venture of the same name in time. and again, the last has proven to be a man of ideas, but he's also often sidetracked, lately testify investors for protesting. the c o is con, some absence and focus on x and politics. also must leadership style has been described as reckless. now that can be helpful when you're trying to cut wasteful spending, but can be trusted to cut at the right end. must is as much an egomaniac,

a narcissist as donald trump himself. and he has proven one thing for sure that 1st of all, he's looking out for himself. that could translate into some policy changes that might directly benefit his own companies. possibly with regards to nasa contracts with space ex, regulation of electric vehicles, or even freedom of speech issues pertaining to x and y, trump has announced that must, will help the administration dismantled bureaucracy and restructure federal agencies must cast 4 now announced another side gig, setting merchandise celebrating his late this gig part, let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. ukraine says it's forces have repelled a russian advance on beyond skin. the eastern don't ask region. russians attempt to advance on the strategic rail hub comes after it's 1st missile attack on even months. russia occupied beyond skin,

a period of 48 hours and after and evacuation order was issued for the area is really intensified its campaign against the middle to the group back in september airstrikes and artillery showing also hit the south of living on where local media say 6 people have been killed, the war has claimed thousands of civilian lots and the conflict has had a devastating impact on children, both physical and psychological. still a minute look, smell it, how it's affecting them and how some people are trying to help. just 6 weeks ago, how much 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 lots 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 somewhere mohammed 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 se time we hospital and a route the only facility in the country that is specialized on treating patients with burns, that typical who injury 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 awesome. well, how about this one of thousands of children who have suffered in this conflict? israel claims that his targeting has full of military assets and never on, but they live in his 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, not just the physical that is at risk. many children has been dirt that strikes less time and the members or experience displacement. the trauma could cause long term consequences. named with this on a way to lead an art therapy session for this place. children in a shelter in favorites 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 then 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 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 in 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. it's right south africa now where hundreds are perhaps thousands of people are tramped and a gold mine in the countries north, west providence traps that is by authorities waiting to arrest them for illegal mining relatives have been blocked from providing food or water to the miners. a law enforcement tactic that they say is already having deadly consequences. an agonizing waiting game on folds in south africa's northwest province. it's estimated that thousands of illegal gold minors have been down this shaft for 4

weeks. while police wait above ground to arrest anyone who comes out, relatives who normally bring food and water to the mine, had been blocked by police. now all they can do is stand by helpless. i put my brother, what brother came to my new domain name? now we've got 7 months inside, but i'm looking for the brother m o, i don't. if he's in communication with my brother, that's why you seem to put them off. come on because we have bought us the we have sounds good. does that all of our kids that they offer our children must friendly one tell so our government must help us. but the government has refused to help. anyone who stays under ground. officials say the miners can come out any time, but they're unwilling to do so because they see of arrest and possible deportation . the police say they have already detained

a 1000 people. do that and the stuff isn't oh, i brought up the processing them in terms of the law. meaning that the we are also charging them depending on the conditionality. and maybe they need the state testing the country because the mind was the commissioned official say it is too dangerous to send down rescuers. one volunteer who went to check on conditions reported seeing several dead bodies. the south african human rights commission plans to investigate the police action. it's hard, i'm joined now by dw, use it to soak them all low in johannesburg to so these miners, they've been trapped for weeks now facing potential arrest if they leave. can you tell us who are these people? is quite a difficult situation, but we have the minus us deal underground. and those that have

that one community to me by next to me is that about 4500 as a number that 40 something is 50, but just that they are 5 of them would risk by coming to invite us out of their own pollution every find anything happens with government this possible today to also come out and of course today there was a point that also sort of treat by the committee members of the coming out of the by and i see the suggestion these i the guys look at this, they are hungry, they have a week and some of them need i can help definitely in order for them to suffice, they just have to mix with the test and the definitive got. and so it's just the gifts by and of course they insisting that the government should make sure that this applies is full so that it gets to come out. but the government, i'd also say they went in,

did the formulas vote down in the observations buddhism and come home so that they are rested in charge for it. because by the, into the police so far are reducing the help they are calling the miners criminals . i'll talk to us, have they done anything wrong? i mean, what constitutes a legal mining and the mining according to do this, all that's good. most it should be done with those licenses. and these guys, they're in a bundle into my the which that mine which is disused at that is much less fun, just ended. so they went down there in the galley to mind him in the mean that i was that are protected by the plus or should to cost the $20.00 of the licenses to do so. so for this i say there wouldn't be helping them and they wouldn't be keeping them and what they need is for them to come out. and of course they just skipped rest it full of approaching then what was that spot is?

and it does mean this is my main goal is to be in the box is present, so the once them out. and if it via the vote, that's the new address that the government is saved. and no help is going to get to the police. i think it's dangerous down there that dangerous customers, and that intelligence is telling them that some of this guys are um, so they can go down there to the spin. definitely. they should come out, it just be honest. and i was gonna ask you about that. so we've got reports that some of these minors may have weapons and that is making this entire situation that much worse, isn't it? the police are not going to go down knowing that they could be maybe shot at that. definitely. that's the, that's the case. now pull this up saying the want and things are in the police office not to go down that because they don't know what would happen. they don't know what is down to. and they don't know what the numbers are supposed to be committed to. and did those that have come out, the estimates seem to be the out on $4000.00. but the point, as i say at that number could be or if i stated it could be hundreds. but the thing

is students at a school for, for the, for this, because in subspace document and the government, this document does that to these people. they, when they know exactly what they're doing is because they have been formed as getting in and out of the month and it is expected that they ask them to do that now so that they can be processed. ok dw, do so tomato with the latest from johannesburg to 92. so thank you. it's all right back here in europe sent to the mounting, political and economic turmoil here in germany. german transfer all of shoals as governing coalition has unraveled with a confidence vote in snap elections looming. and it comes at a particularly bad time for the countries economy, which is expected to shrink for the 2nd year in a row. so what can a government in crisis do about the w's, cassandra zoned reports? the council has spoken, germany is in

a slump and requires urgent reforms to boost grow. the major issue which brought down the government was the so called debt break. which taps deficit spending the german counseled economic experts saying it needs reform to losing the purse strings and fix 3 key areas, transport, defense, and education. he has also, i ass counsel member olga moment here is it would be irresponsible to allow for the racking up of more debt. we actually not say the borrow more. we don't want to increase the fiscal space and the emphasis is quite the contrary. we want to, what we're saying, this is what of a, you know, fisco financial capacity. you have, think about how you're spending the money. we do things as a lied reform of the dead. frank would be useful if you want to make it economically smarter, but indeed the causal also thinks that's something along those lines. some graphs, rails along those lines have actually been useful. the old truism about businesses is a crave certain d, something as

a chaos and the coalition has eroded or how do you see fresh elections reading some lice into the german economy if they can. one of the big factors that has affected the german economy is uncertainty. we have seen it both on the side of firms who are not investing or i'm not sure whether to build up capacity. if those do you mind and keep citing uncertainty, economic uncertainty, policy uncertainty, the same on the consumer side, the consumer wants have had to gain an income that's still not spending. so if we can reduce the uncertainty, that would be good. however, i would say we have to wait for the election results of the new coalition to see whether we have a better alignment amongst the potty running this country. the germans napa elections comes as the world braces for the pressures of a new trump presidency. he's proposed harris on imports, cars and major german industry, and it's called on european nations to increase their defense spending,

which would mean a diversion of the budget from other priorities. the report recognizes that simply spending more is not the answer. structural challenges like labor shortages and demographic pressures need bold reforms, yet the political appetite for such changes is limited with fiscally conservative parties dominating the poles. a broken coalition means it's highly unlikely that any economic revival will pass through the bush dog until election day. so the country will likely be less high and dry until a new government comes into office several months from now. i was concerned, resent reporting maureen sciences have discovered it was believed to be the largest quarrel on earth in the pacific ocean. researchers founded near the solomon islands initially, believing it to be a shipwreck. the coral is 32 meters wide. 34 meters long researchers say it is distinct from a coral reef, which is made up of many coral colonies. it's still big,

however you want to describe it. all right, before we go, because reminder of our top story, republicans had won enough seats to control the us house of representatives, cementing their hold on both houses of congress as well as the white house. the result gives the republicans and president elect trump full control of the incoming government. you, what you need to do is after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day stick around. we will be right back the,

the you can draw the line between the spaces because i don't believe that spaces is i'm all really relevant cards here in any more than i believe that rice or sex is on frontier in. 2 2 should. 2 2 humans are closer to a chimpanzee vanishing. pansy is even to a dog. but dr. series about our complex relationship with animals watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. 7 daniels and jamie, you belong to the 77 percent comfortable. i just got on 65 last last those top 5 years, 31115. we're here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so all of the topics i'm much at 2 from table, top fixed

a new culture. and in 15 minutes, let's say together, because i talked about community life on the server is now on the to the truck tri effective it is now official. donald trump's republican party will soon control the white house in both chambers of congress, the house of representatives, as well as the senate. now that means that every piece of legislation, every nomination that trump, since the capitol hill, will probably win approval, but there is no guarantee. on wednesday, trump, nominated congress with matt, gets to be attorney general gets was being investigated for sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. when not anymore a fact that has raised
