living and working in this vibrant and welcoming countries with free of charge access to expert advice and excellent job opportunities. starts in new jersey now on korea's for germany dot com the the, the, this is the, the news line from valid us, the president elect. donald trump nominated small controversial figures for his cabin. trump choose is robert f. kennedy junior, an environmental activist who has spread misinformation on vaccines to the united states. so health agency and north korea's leader kim jong calls for the mass production of a target drones. ukraine says no korean troops don't already find him for most of us applying russia with weapons and talk 6 small blanket, sleep, indian capital,

jelly authorities close. primary schools of respiratory illnesses rise sharply. just how dangerous is this annual plus police in south africa say that it determined to arrest hundreds of illegal miners, but they pulled it on the ground, but relative say they die without the food and bolts authorities are currently blocking the i'm good. how both as welcome to the program, us president elect donald trump, has said that robert f. kennedy junior, his paper to head the united states top health agency will help make america healthy again. trump was speaking as an event of his mar, logo, results in florida. is nomination of the vaccine skeptic to become health secretary

is just the latest in a string of controversial choices for government agencies. the oaks in done the banquet hall full of he's going to supporters. donald trump took to the stage for his 1st public speech since the election from wealth come 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 mark is gone through the roof, enthusiasms doubled its doubled in the last short while the florida galler comes. this trump continues to unveil his pigs for the next administration. the lineup now includes another controversial figure from an independent presidential candidate, robert f. kennedy junior, who is tapped to be the next us health secretary. he dropped out of the race in august and endorse trump realistic, his country, the world. and this,

this rage took us. we need to bring donald trump to watch instead of make america how kennedy has become famous, isn't down to 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 contain the gays, his appointment, accusing him of a lack of competence with the fingers, trump has picked up so far. thank gary bozza gestured views and loyalty of the things that matter most. and then we're going to turn our country around, we're going to make it shows rates so strong, so powerful. we're going to bring it all back. full of tramps, cabinet nominations will still be subject to conformation by the senate. where

republicans command a majority of law and translate as 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? 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 mosque, 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 that 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 surprises there even though he comes from a family, 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 vaccine is the authors, and this has been around this idea is that 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 ever met in 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. the 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 covered 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. uh, 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 his ability to, to stick up for the common person. his father, former us attorney general, was very well known for sticking up for 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 including 2 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 see what his 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 that be open position? i mean, the republicans have the majority. we told no, we haven't heard a whole lot of senate voices so far on this announcement. this is still relatively fresh. it'll be interesting to hear what they say. the problem is that these surprises are coming one after the other after the other. and so you begin with pete headset, 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 about 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, where 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 it in the system while your selection team. thank you very much to they will in ukraine. and now, the key of says troops from north korea, already engaging with ukrainian soldiers shooting fears of a major escalation. russia and north korea have recently strength, and then military corporation and concerns. and all rising that young young could

soon be supplying moscow with mazda. as of drones, north korean state media is reporting that leader kim jong on has ordered his military to begin mass producing exploding drugs. going on has been ramping up the development of new weaponry in the last few years. the attack drones carry explosives of crash into target. um today. uh, best uh, uh, evaluating ad defenses. then ms. thoughts. that's have a look now uh what this could mean for ukraine on the battlefield. and for north korea's own relations with its neighbors. russia as cor, ask region where ukrainian troops had been fighting to hold land. they seized at the end of the summer, and 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,

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. more significant may be the ripple effects of a 3rd country sending troops into the conflict. especially when we're young with the 1st of the battles with north korean soldiers, kind of why mark a new chapter. last global instability has 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 whole girl stuff. 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 to see more and more as north korea, 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 north korea, which is now threatening in the future. the maintenance of the us continental your advert. also, our partners in the, in the pacific. defend, for example, and 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. 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 the 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. earlier i spoke to ghost of glass, so these are the european council on foreign relations. and the awesome of the russia would have an advantage on the battlefield with thousands of north koreans financing on the front lines to its mind. so to put things in perspective, the russian army needs to recount, searching thousands of 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, honesty bonuses to get fund signing up, and they have increased the over the course and kia are quite significantly of those who do not want to fight for money still to the phone to find full money. even though it's more bought, of course north korea, they can come on to watch a lot of people and i think you know, reinstate desperately needs for him. carnes inc. trunk. so this is a match. and yeah, because rushes increasing problem finding new soldiers and meeting domestic recruitment quotas. so i think this will continue and that's the least provide putting the people on the lifeline and soldiers to using the gold coast of castles speaking. now let's take

a look at some of the other stories in the headlines today. a number of people has been injured off. the protest is still on the parliament and of cause you a break away region of georgia that is backed by russia. beyond rest film to you by russian state television, you're off to it over the proposed measure that would allow russians to buy property in the cause of the regions president has reportedly no scrap the play. israel's military says it hit more than $100.00 to $20.00. it has blood targets throughout lebanon, over the past day by rouge has come under attack again in the southern suburb. so here and a few kilometers from the center and tell you when he is well gave evacuation warnings, the result success really breton is about to become one of the 1st countries in the world to bend new coal mine. the government is working on new legislation to restrict future licenses. a months ago the u. k. became the 1st big economy to quit

cold pilots, electricity. and i'm old and 140 year old practice lies our address because that pollution soul was in cities across southern asia. schools are closed, outdoor activities have been banned. smoke shrouded the victim is capital hon. noise and their costs in indonesia while and quality and practiced on the 2nd largest city. lahore, deteriorated to the hazardous levels, the cooler temperatures of autumn in winter, worse than the annual small trapping pollutants in the authorities. in india, as capital denny trying to tackle dangerous microscopic app pollutants that are now at more than 50 times the limits search by the world health organization in delhi. just trying to go about day to day life in the dense choking haze is difficult stuff. and so i feel like i'd say some in my eyes,

i just came from my phone or maybe on my eyes are burning and i'll have to wash them. i must have finding it difficult to breathe because that unfortunately for the millions who cooled daily and the surrounding area home, this struggle simply to breathe freely is nothing new. each winter seats a 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 because of our lifestyle, the, the ramp, construction effects and all the traffic to the bogged authentic and the diesel cars window. we, uh, the, the guy, the, all the 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 when you're planting. it's long being illegal, but authorities have done little to prevent it. critic, site 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 the clothes with young children, especially susceptible to air pollution trucks like this one. they're also writing the streets spring war to try and keep down the small, well known 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. and i have some breaking news for you. a german government, sol set a says, a child sort of shots and russian president vladimir putin. i've spoken today on the phone, it's the 1st direct contact in nearly 2 years. the sole says the past spoke for about an hour this afternoon building local time. now let's go straight to all

political correspondence, simon young in button simon. what more do we know about this phone call as well in terms of what we know, god know? very much. like you said, the 1st uh cold between the 2 leaders. so its december 2022 and they lost it for about an hour. uh, what did they talk about? well, of that at the moment remains. speculation, but uh oh, laugh schoultz has been talking to some time this year. this year about, uh, the need to push more clearly towards a potential piece in ukraine. and he's been talking about promoting a diplomatic solution, a just peace. and the pullout of russian troops from ukrainian, the territories were saying that this phone call was it to some extent, expected. just said interview just

a few days ago. the john sly did say that he was working to try and make this happen. and that if he, if they were talking along the lines of that, just suggested about how to get to piece will that would fit with what we know about a conversation between shoulds and the designated us president donald trump. where repulsively, at least those 2 leaders agreed that they would work to it for a return to peace in europe. so this seems to be part of an increasing mental around diplomatic efforts at to bring russia to the negotiating table. some of the on the thank you very much, simon. and of course with updated use of the top of the on to south africa now a 100. so even thousands of people are trapped in a gold mine in the countries northwest providence. but the reason is not an

accident stay at trap by police while waiting to arrest them for illegal mining. relatives of the miners have been blocked from providing food or was it to the law enforcement tactics 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 mind, had been blocked by police. now all they can do is stand by helpless. i've called my brother. what brother came to me to do my name. now we've got 7 months inside, but i'm looking for that and brad, m o, i don't. if he's in communication with somebody pregnant, that's why you seem to lose the food must come out cause we have part of the day.

we have sounds. think that overall, like she said, they all of our children, my struggling rental. so our government must help us. but the government has refused to help anyone who stays under ground. the officials say the miners can come out any time, but they're unwilling to do so because they feel of arrest and possible deportation . the police say they have already detained a 1000 people. those that uh um, the stuff isn't oh, i brought up the processing them in terms of the law. meaning that we are also charging them. um, depending on the conditionality and maybe they need the state testing the country because the mind was decommissioned. officials say it is too dangerous to send down rescuers. one volunteer who went to check on conditions reported seeing several dead bodies of the south african human rights commission plans to investigate the

police action. i'm not talking to journalists to so kumato is at the entrance of that mine and still some time to so it seems like some of these mine is i choosing starvation over getting arrested. what are the so afraid of these below move men to share the mine as i still on the grounds today, the whole day on the about 2 of them were rescued by community members. there still stay 40 inside tea. a surprise. the only watch swapping is that the government is also staying put on this position that know what our board in the no uh for the war in the north risk as will go down there. and it does might not just have to come out there on the on and the stand off continues. most of them are, they suspected that they are from other country. so the freight that when they come out the stuff is that going to be arrested and try it. uh for of course, uh, breaking in regression arrows or i can issues of this country. uh, but uh, it's

a dice expression. uh, the formulas. i've got that some if you miles from where we are also looking for as far as looking at the what the government's going to do is we're speaking right now . the minister of police is having meetings. it's coming to lead us to find out a way of getting these might enough out, but for now, it seems they are prepared to risk their lives for what if i text, unless the police leave. but there's a can see just behind me to pull this off thing put also say don't wait for them until they come on me. now you've been talking to people that want to have a, they've been telling you about the police tactics. the relatives of the people under the ground, they have very much what it and very much and we, i guess the government guessing the government knows that these people went down on the ground to do this illegal activity because these don't employment because they want to feed their families, so they don't understand why the government is a domain that is not going to give it any help for them to get up what they want to,

what they are saying. they want the government to do all it can to get them out, at least are still alive and even those, some of them have given up uh that uh they think they are relatives of our debt. if they say they spend one to those boxes to see them coming out there. so they'll put to the plan when the government to save. of course, this criminal activity door is done not because the people wanted read, but because the government famed to create employment here. so we'll put a lot of why did people, but of course a few of them in the past 3 days about 9 out those uh hippy. but the rest of them uh, they're still looking for them on so as not to know if they have entities are still alive or they already did that almost don't look at this, go on. it's not too clear when this this the dental office grant and come and play the minutes the police is meeting with the community does, will, uplifting with him at to try and allow at least vote in order to get on the ground

saying a lot of people will be lost to why the conversations are going on. but of course, with the government also, and the policy it being at them into that, that not moving out from dest away from desktops, that these people should come out and get arrested. it's much more and it's not clear at the moment how it's going to end and when it's good and but what is clear is that the reports that are coming from underground is the people that are, they are feeling seeking, they know, week and day of course, with are those that have been dozing that ordered some part is this what we don't know and when this and if they don't before i live or most of them will be done to so come out of the reporting from still fontaine. thank you very much. i are you watching dw news as a reminder of all the top stories us presidency like donald trump has announced a more controversial cabinet takes. trump says he's naming the fullest press of
