the the visits dw news life from bell it, us president elect donald trump, nominated small controversial figures for his cabinets. trump choose is robert f. kennedy junior, an environmental activist who has spread the misinformation on vaccines to head the united states. top health agents. also coming up north korea's lead a change on goals for the mass production of attack drums. ukraine says north korea and troops saw already fighting from us go and supplying russia with west and toxic smoke blankets, the indian capital denny authorities. close primary schools as respiratory illnesses rise sharply. just how dangerous is this annual occurs?

the i've got health is welcome to the program. us president elect donald trump has said that he is picked to head the united states top health agency, but with f. kennedy junior will help make america healthy again. trump made the comments at an event in his maro lago results in florida. his nomination of the vaccine skeptic to lead the department of health and human services is just the latest in a string of controversial choices to lead government agencies. the legal okey and done the banquet hall full of the staunchest supporters. donald trump took to the stage for his 1st public speech since the election of is welcomed by actors, sylvester stallone, the president elect,

couldn't hide how much he's been enjoying. he's come back, you have to start my term from november 5th. okay. or november 6th. if you want november 5th, because the market is going through the roof, enthusiasms doubled its doubled in the last short while the florida gala comes. this trump and he's transition team continue turnville their peaks for the next administration. another controversial figure tap to be us health secretary is for my independent presidential candidate, robert f. kennedy junior. he dropped out of the race and all goes down in doors, trump realistic, his country, the world. and this is a rage that guess we need to bring donald trump to watch instead of make america how kennedy has become famous, isn't empty vaccination activists. for years he has insisted there's

a link between autism and vaccines on or something that has been disproved by multiple studies. the american public health association says it will campaign to gaze his appointment, accusing him of a lack of competence. segers trump has picked up so far. thank you. everybody suggest shared views and loyalty, the things that matter most. and we're going to turn our country around, we're going to make it so great, so strong, so powerful. we're going to bring it all back. full of tramps, cabinet donations will still be subject to confirmation by the senate where republicans command a majority of law and translators choice. i'm not joined by my colleagues, steve busy from all us selection teams even. um, kennedy uh, junior, has said a quote no vaccine. there is no vaccine that is safe and effective and trump wants

to put them in charge of america's public health. why? so i think that's part of the deal. first of all, as far as we know is that when our f k junior pledged his support to trump, he ended his bid as an independent to become president. before that he was trying to become president on the us democratic ticket that didn't work out either. he saw where his chances were going and so he said, i'm gonna throw it to trump, but i want to have some sort of influence. the question to this point has been, what role would he play? would he be some sort of outside of governments kind of advisor in the sense that what we've seen with a suggestion of he long boss, the role that he'll play or could he be potentially what he's now been terminated to be i think this was for many people the worst case scenario, we know the between these 2 men, there's a lot of overlap when it comes to this kind of conservative populace outlook about the deep state about the fact that they find expertise troubling when it's in large bureaucratic institution. so in that sense there's, there's not

a whole lot of surprise there, even though he comes from a family, a political dynasty of democrats. his base really is if it's very nicely into trump space. now that he has made several of us the full statements. right? yeah, he's, i think, as you mentioned, to begin with, he said that there's no safe and effective vaccine that's not true, that's medically improving. and as the report mentioned, he continues to make this link between vaccines and autism. this has been around this idea has been around for decades. there's no proof to it at all. and in fact, vaccines have, she's on their cornerstone of modern public health. outside of that he said things like, i've heard maxine, this is a medicine, more common and veteran veterinary medicine use for horses. that is also a solution for coping 19 people trying everything during those years. but science has shown that there's no, there's no cause to believe that is true. he continues to push this. he's also said even wilder, things like over 19, was specifically targeted to spare certain groups of jews and chinese people. so

some very erotic things. his family has distance them for themselves from him. often times it does multiple times. but at the same time he has an appeal to many people. yes, think this, you just mentioned that what does that liked about him? well, in many ways, i mean 1st, well, here's a kennedy, right? so he brings a kind of trinity trait that many people do see this kind of boldness to the point of recklessness, maybe, but also also this ability to, to stick up for the common person. his father, former us attorney general, was very well known for sticking up the poor for sticking up for black americans during the time of civil rights. and so robert f. kennedy junior, his son also made his name in a similar fashion. he's stuck up for the environment. he was an environmental activist. he took a large corporations and couldn't do punts monsanto. and he won one big settlements from them. he's skeptical of corporations, like many americans are these days. so he speaks to something fundamental that a lot of people see, and he does a lot of things that make sense to a lot of people when it comes to the health problems that we see in america. when it comes to obesity and the consequences of obesity. when it comes to the food

system and the fact that it's really hard to get away from additives from certain things that people don't really see it, they don't understand what's in there or they say, what is process? food is a big push against ultra process foods. right now, he's also part of that, and so there is a mainstream crossover. and now the senate, of course will have to con, confirm him to get this job. will there be opposition? i mean, the republicans have the majority, we don't know, we haven't heard a whole lot of senate voices so far on this announcement is still relatively fresh . it'll be interesting to hear what they say. the problem is that the surprises are coming. one after the other after the other. and so you begin with pete hague stuff, a fox news commentator who's now slated for defense. and you go to tulsa. gabbert was always a controversial figure. she's now supposed to go to intelligence director. and then you go to not mat gates, probably one of the biggest read alarms for a lot of people need go to kennedy. so individually these will cause concerns from a lot of senators moderate senators taken together, it becomes

a game of strategy. where do you plant your flag? we're what he'll do, you die on, are you going to go against all of these? i think gates is going to have a real real problem just from the voice of the we've heard from the senate, robert f. kennedy junior. i can imagine that will also be a lot of reservations but, but we'll see seem to be a system while your selection team. thank you very much. and we go to the ukraine conflict now, where keith says north korean troops are already engaging with ukrainian soldiers fueling fields of a major escalation. russia, north korea have recently strengthens the military corporation of concerns and now rising, they've genuine, could soon be supplying must go with masses of mo, drones milk reinstate. media is reporting that the, the change on the phone has ordered his mother towed to begin most producing exploding drones. found y'all has been romping up the development of new weaponry of the last few years to attack drones to carry explosives on the crash sense of

the target. but the best way to evaluating ad defense is then missile sol. so let's take a look at what this could mean for you freight on the battlefield. and for north korea's own relations with its neighbors. russia as chorused region, where ukrainian troops have been fighting to hold land. they seized at the end of the summer. now they say they're not just fighting russian soldiers, but north koreans as well. this footage, released by ukraine's intelligence agency, appears to show north korean soldiers receiving uniforms and equipment at the military base in the far east of russia. since then, the western intelligence agencies say an estimated 10 to 12000 north korean troops have traveled to the course region supporting russian troops trying to retake the territory. north korean soldiers could free up russian troops that moscow wants on

the front line in eastern ukraine. but it's unclear just how much of a difference they'll make and the war not least because of a language barrier with their russian counterparts. the more significant may be the ripple effects of a 3rd country sending troops into the conflict. special young with the 1st of the battles, as with north korean soldiers, good white mark a new chapter, global instability is to be honest. in most of you, together with the world, we must do everything to ensure that this russian step toward expanding the war and giving me this true escalation. escalade becomes a loss. your girl stuff to nato has reacted cautiously condemning north korea's involvement. but falling short of proposing direct counter measures and warning that the 2 way partnership between russia and north korea will have consequences beyond ukraine. you see more and more is of north

iraq, china. and of course, russian are working together working together against your brain, farts at the same time a restaurant has to pay for this. and one of the things they are doing is delivering technology to northville. the average is now threatening the in the future. the maintenance of the us continental your produce, our partners in the pacific. defend, for example, the republic, a free of. indeed, south korea is intensely worried about its northern neighbors move. the north army is massive 1200000 soldiers and regularly provoke south korea with missile tests and border confrontation of south koreans. worried that the north will gain valuable combat experience in russia and possibly in ukraine itself. the north is also testing its military equipment against western systems, south korea, and president young sir. your said,

his country could review the possibility of sending military aid to ukraine, pouring yet more weapons into the conflict. the wild card is the u. s. president elect donald trump has praised both north korea's kim john own and russia's vladimir putin. trump takes office on the 20th of january, a waiting game where everything is on the line for ukraine. let's bring him good stuff, a good rest. so he's a senior policy fellow at the why the, you are program of the european council fun relations here in, by the inputs of how much do you think russia is relying on north korea support and it's war and ukraine as well. they're pretty honestly relying on the snow screen material munition and that has been going on for at least a year. but of course north korea has increasingly runs up the, the support for the russian on forces. now we see cuz we saw all the supplier to

the resistance and the temporary staff arrows before. and yeah, north korea lens of soldiers. i mean, technically, it's not a new practice or a north korean laid it out, forced labor to both russia and china, working soup sectors of the economy of the north korean regime gets much of the remittance. these people satisfied with the highest salary rush of promises to soldiers. this is of course, a lucrative business. so i guess this with continued so far, the costs of the use of the most career sources has been limited to, to few thoughts off the front line. and of course, couple of the key issue for the reference of courses. if you're into use a, a contingent solver for and only because of different language. you have to provide at least a minimum coordination. and that is that it seems to be the bubble deck for the use right now. you think it will make a real difference to strengthen strength and rush this position to a new crime. um,

it might. so to put things in perspective, the russian army needs to recount $13000.00 new soldiers per month to keep up with lots of stats, a staggering number of the problems. the rush of course, is that those who are willing to fight and die for money most have already signed up. and even if russia increases the salaries for soldiers, the bonuses that get fund signing up and they have increased the over at the core in kia. are quite significantly of those who do not want to fight for money. still don't phone to find full money even though it's more bought. of course, north korea, they can come on to work. a lot of people and they, you know, reinstate, destitute needs for an current income. so this is a match. and so, and, you know, because russia's increasing problem, finding new soldiers and meeting domestic recruitment quotas. so i think this will continue and at least provide, putting that a bit below the lifeline and sol, just

a to use and now let's zoom out. so it's russia has other partnerships with autocratic stays beyond those career. and those include a china and iran beyond military cooperation. how important all these relationships as well. the relationship with china is crucial for the rest of the economy. has been hit by sciences, have been cut off from most of the financial markets and the chinese automobile sector, particularly interested in road to rush or chinese get access to rule materials to set you up. so that is a, an economic loss. i'm ross has to be in a popular for specialized ministry equipment trailers. electronic goal for systems rate is here also. i mean the same as north korea. the chemist in partnership with the run has been going on for quite some time and are exploring the oaks and they

celebrate that there are together for phones on those and having a consultation with these routes. and they want to have a lifeline and security support. and of course here the, the interest of both parties much now, is there any one action that you would recommend for europe and the west to come to russia's strategic alliances right now as well. the problem is our top or the west and the solve for strategic alliances. most us, we both online to is you pacific countries and then of course, with a native to europe. and there's a big question mark on us. precision bottle calls. all your peons, especially germination, rethink their policy or restraints because it has multiple access to a restraint on the other side, you know, for to policy. and we have to actually is publishing russia. we've either

renewed sanctions, oma really turned, delivers to ukraine. so it's outreach policy might actually be the better choice because of the voice of b. c dot, the north korea, the wrong. basically for free support rush, i get rewarded for that by russian thought. do not get any sort of negative friction beyond condemnation from the one. what about the long term, then what else could the west and what else could europe to as well in europe. uh, we actually half crazed, the sciences and the production capability in terms of military equipment to keep the ukraine in the font. if we would have asked you for a to or increased, i'll meet you through the production when the war started. now the problem is that, uh we, we travel with the issue that this is a little more efficient and we with needs to have increased our defense production

in terms of following the tools in terms of air defense systems, etc, via full m times move down. so we still can play catch up if we want to both quarter space requires decisions. you know, capitals in germany, the collections problems is struggling with his finances. it doesn't look very good, but it's still directly possible to catch up because i'll cancel this. thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. thank you very much. i it's time now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. israel's military, it says a hit more than $120.00 hezbollah targets throughout lebanon. over the past day. babe route has come on the attack again and the southern suburbs of the here and a few kilometers from the center and tell you in a israel gave evacuation warning. spanish official say,

a fire or the nursing home near saragossa has killed at least 10 people. the blazing villafranca, the april, broke out early in the morning in one of the rooms. it took 2 hours for $55.00 is to put it out because it's unknown. really it's in is about to become one of the 1st countries in the world to bend new cold months. the government is working on new legislation to restrict future licenses. a month ago the u. k became the 1st big economy to quit cold pod electricity and then more than 140 year old practice, this kind of food to the philippines in 3 weeks is now headed towards taiwan. people with less stranded and herds of live stuff with devastated off the type of food new socket struck on to the 1st day. villages were evacuated after it's triggered slash floods. full cost is now say a new tide. fluid thread is drawing closer to the philippines. lives

a address because air pollution stores in cities across southern asia school in the surrounding area home. this struggle simply to breathe freely is nothing new. each winter seats the city gasping for fresh air. as cold temperatures and low wind speeds leave it suffocated by small. so basically, evolution of this is not causing a day or 2 or whatever because of our lifestyle, the, the ramp construction, and all the traffic to the part of the country and the diesel cars window we, uh, the, the guy they all get daily is notoriously packed roads assessing the effect of the farm is burning crops, double in neighboring regions, also to blame for the accurate haze. the practice is a false cheap way to clear the fields with new planting. it's long been illegal, but authorities have done live and to prevent it. critics say politicians are scared of angering. farm is

a key vote to block media. officials and daily have announced measures to protect the vulnerable and clear the old primary schools have been ordered to close with young children, especially susceptible to air pollution trucks like this one are also writing the streets spring war to try and keep down the small well more in a central construction work is being fanned, but experts say these are all just stop gap measure is one of india's most pressing problems. studies blame and pollution for more than one and a half 1000000 premature deaths each year. now let's get more clarity on this daily bird seems on the page as mine is on the a. how dangerous has it been to go outside in the past few days this we were in the has of those categories. so it was very, very dangerous. today is slightly better, we've only only and you know,

exclamation marks and the poor to a very poor category. and what this essentially means is we have to look at the concentration of fine particular matches in the those fine matches that are so small that they penetrate the bloodstream. that then dodge deep in the long. so if people and this can cause severe damage, cardiovascular diseases, rest of your ray 3 diseases, we have seen hospital filling up with people literally gasping for air. but this kind of costs also have long term damage. for instance, these fine particular metals, if you're exposed to them over long periods of time, meaning you lived here in daily that can cost cancer. and they can also delay development and shared one which then half a disadvantage, right from the start of their lives. and a very recent study published by the re non medical journal valenze, that engine light came out with a very staggering figure indicating that about 7 percent of a death in denny can be attributed to air pollution costs by this very toxic and

lease assign particular metis that sounds very serious. now india, a supreme court last month ruled clean is a fundamental human rights. are officials not afraid of being held to account or they should be afraid to being held to account not just by the supreme court also by the people that vote at them to power. they should also themselves be scared of the kind of ad that they are breeding, though i'm sure that most of them are in a position to run, though it's fancy app to re fi us a tone. what is really needed is in fact more political with more no enforcement, but also a change and thinking because what we are seeing here is essentially trying to put a band aid on a festering wound. what would be needed is ready to cope. policy changes at the low to reach the national level, which we are seeing instead is political bickering and to blame game going on

between everyone who is involved. and we need a change in urban planning and urban infrastructure in the way we planned traffic in this mega city of more than 15000000 people. and we also need to work together with neighboring countries like pockets on the pipe or so face the same kind of problems all of that is lacking. and maybe this, the pre and cardboard can indeed contribute tool. basically create this with, amongst politicians by reminding them that this them, that need to go into the lead here is deliberately some of the that's the one that i think he was on the before we go a ras sign of c a n. me and mom they will, its own country is marketing the end of the rainy season with big balloons capital . and i put some teams from different ministries. try to outdo each other with the

creation of the house own dying festival of lights, the gun on the bridges road and the last century to canada and the oaks edition. similar events around the country continues despite the civil war, then began after the military seas taught from the elected government nearly 4 years. the you're watching the video is, here's a reminder of our top story. at this hour, us president elect donald trump has an all small, controversial cabinet picked from, says he's naming the form of independence presidential candidates and vaccine skeptic, robert f. kennedy junior to lead the department of health and human service and

that's it. from the end of the scene for the don't go away coming up next all talk . so to the point, looks at the collapse of the german government coalition. don't miss that and get out of the office in berlin from you and holding. you see, thanks for watching the, the, the,

to the points. strong opinions, clear position. international perspective. germany's government coalition collapsed the day. donald trump was announced winter of the us elections until germans voted in february, europe's heavy weight of stock composing a further problem for you. freight on to the point we ask a german, he's down. can you government turn things around to the point

next on d. w, country. the seo to lie lower in carbon emissions, reforestation in 2 certificates. the $1000000000.00 business for the guilty conscience is booming. but with assistive lack of transparency, climate researchers who may be skeptical the what carbon all sitting really does for the climate in 45 minutes. on d, w, the computer, do you do this? i played tennis. tennis has survived the ocean bits, thanks to music. he was the nazi's favorite conductor positions under the swastika,

a documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany, watch now on youtube. dw documentary germany is government coalition collapsed to the de donald trump was announced winner of the us elections. now germans will have to decide who will rule the country in a snap election in february until then, little else will get done. what i've chose has become a lame duck chancellor. at a time when germany needs strong political leadership, more than never, the economy is struggling. society is divided. europe's heavy weight has come to a home, including in foreign policy. that's especially better for ukraine, while it's too big a supporter of the us and germany are stuck in a power vacuum. it's war against russia continues to escalate. on to the point we ask germany's down the phones.
