what does this tell us about the battles within or outside the trump�*s administration that we mightrs, he courted the big businessman. he courted silicon valley and got a lot of poor white voters to turn out. it was a very successful campaign to get all of these people to support donald trump and difficulty comes in keeping all of these constituencies happy. it is notjust on immigration or this h—1b visa issue, there is a range of issues across the board. economy, health, education. the difference and there is going to be some pretty fierce ideological battles in the next white house. let�*s turn to some other important news around the world. ukraine�*s president volodymyr zelensky says russia and north korea are not interested in the survival of north korean soldiers, who he said were suffering huge losses fighting for russia against ukraine. mr zelensky claimed in some cases the north korean troops were being killed by their own forces to prevent them being captured. earlier, the united states said 1,000 north koreans have been killed or wounded in the past week in russia�*s kursk

and president-elect donald trump,'s incoming administration, they are strongly urging lawmakers to voteon this out of control spending bill. trump was elected in november, he was given a mandate to fix what is broken and this bill will make that job much harder. here at the very latest, from capitol hill, our very own chad is with us. you set out to, internally within fox, will be called to a hitchhiker's guide to all things chad. why don't you give us a brief summary of what's going on behind the scenes and how this bill was expected to be passed by now and these members thought they would be on a plane home or they might even have arrived home depending on where they left. >> good evening. it was interesting that mike johnson, the speaker of the house wanted a drama free christmas time here and that's what he set out to do back in the fall. he was trying not to have some sort of conflict at the christmas holiday and that's exactly what he got. they started to add these other provisions into the bill, something that we caught on to earlier this week. they were putting 10, $11 billion i

administrations? donald trum - 's two administrations? donald trump's tariffs _ two administrations? tariffs would, if - two administrations? donald trump's tariffs would, if you | trump's tariffs would, if you go through with it, reduce growth around the world so that would mean people will cut interest rates at the same time they would prices because tariffs are essentially a sales tax on consumers and not a way of taking money out of the chinese pocket, the other way over raising prices for american consumers and that would stoke inflation. if other parts of the world have retaliatory tariffs because the inflation start to come back as well so that would put central banks in a difficult position because you would have both an inflationary effect and slower growth. that is why there are so much uncertainty about what will happen and why everyone is waiting to see whether donald trump is serious or not about these tariffs. turning to a rags—to—riches story that not many people know about — dean forbes is a british businessman who has done just that. as a child from a single parent f

what is the fed's decision catherine on interest rates say about the incoming trump administration' s economic policies. >> so look inflation has been unfortunately quite stubborn. it's come down a lot. but that last mile getting it from like 2.5% or around 3% down to 2% has been really difficult. and a lot of the kinds of policies that trump has put on the table for next year might potentially reverse some of the progress that we've had so far. the fed will not say that they have been very cautious to avoid commenting on any sort of policies out there, but if you look at trump's potential deportations, his potential increases in tariffs on china and on goods from around the world, as well as his fiscal policies, all of those things are likely to increase either the price level or inflation, and the fed is potentially responding to all of that, even if they won't say so. >> so how worried should americans be at catherine about inflation going forward? >> you know, i don't think it's time to freak out yet. it does seem like it's been really hard to wring out again that that last bit of

a number of folks that we've spoken to who were in the previous trump administration pointed us to robert lighthizer�*sp's ustr head the first time around and they state pretty clearly that president trump really looks at balance of trade, and if he thinks that one country has an advantage over the other, then he'll look to try and extract some concessions out of them. and again, tariffs seem to have been president trump's favourite tool. if you're a big american company, maybe making stuff in china to sell to american consumers, what are your options right now? and i know we don't have the detail yet, but are those businesses thinking, "look, we'rejust "going to have to put prices up," or is it getting to the stage where they say, "you know what?

just before the election, kennedy posted this on x, bowing -- vowing that the trump administration would advise u-so remove fluoride, which he called an “industrial waste” associated with a number of health conditions. backing up a bit, fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that's commonly found in soils and rocks, and since 1962, the federal government has recommended adding it to drinking water to strengthen the enamel in our teeth to help protect against tooth decay. >> the cdc has hailed fluoridated public water systems to be one of the greatest achievements in public health of the 20th century. and that's because having fluoride in water has reduced dental cavities, especially in children. but at the same time, it's also true that that value of fluoridated public public water is much less now that we do have fluoridated toothpaste. >> the amount of fluoride is important here. since 2015, the cdc has recommended 0.7 milligrams per liter of water. an nih review this year showed that at twice that level, there are impacts on children's iq and development. it's important to note that those stu

i don't know what difference a trump administration will make as far as the overall tendency of u. s. foreign policy. and on the other hand, it's clear that this conflict is on winnable for ukraine. europe is starting to awaken to this back then. yes, trump has been saying it for a long time and so have other political actors. so there may be a, a shift in strategy as far as a foreign policy that, that does lead to maybe cutting losses when it comes to the grain. i think everything has to do with internal is rarely politics. i think that there is a certain faction of this really politics that looks at expansion is um, specifically the expansion of settlement as a way to alleviate internal pressures when it comes to economic dissatisfaction. and so on and so on, that's being felt by people that live in, uh, israel. so i think that the strategy more or less is to use war as a pressure valve to offset some of that. and, and basically, um, to open up new spaces for a settlement, the expansion of the the settlement project. can i turn attention to to syria, very much a developing situatio

i don't know what difference a trump administration will make as far as the overall tendency of u. s. foreign policy. and so on the other hand, it's clear that this conflict is unwinnable for you. great. europe is starting to awaken to this fact. and yes, trump has been saying it for a long time, and so have other political actors. so there may be a, a shift in strategy as far as a foreign policy that, that does lead to maybe cutting losses when it comes to ukraine. can i move inside with into, into gas that because if there is a loss of weapon, re and, and money going to key, if you've got trump honest administration, big supporters of best, real hon, my thought impact, the middle east conflict. well, i think that the, that is where things are the most unpredictable right? actually right now i think that trump has made it very clear that he's committed to unconditionally supporting israel in this conflict. but on the other hand, it's very important to pay attention to other developments. there is starting to be a discourse even within the republican party and, and republican party p

s d f. i believe it would be very unlikely. there's a trump administration that's coming in is going to just reflectively agree to keep that presence there. even though that presence has been used for a lot of the counter isis ice omission. i do believe that it's highly likely that there will be a reduction in the us presence there, if not an outright removal over the next few months. doesn't suggest some sort of deviation will change in terms of how the us tries to account to groups like i. so i think there's probably a belief that there's other tools and relationships in the region. again with the stabilisation of the removal of the aside regime. it's an open question as to who is really going to rule syria. next. there may be some period for a few months where they keep a us presence in the north us, but it also depends on frankly, what the government in damascus says. if there's a lot of pressure on having the americans leave, i think that tends to accelerate a decision in a trump white house about removing them. i think there's some complex decisions th

s. administration is trying to get every dollar available out of the door to support ukraine because of course, nobody knows whether the incoming administration, whether donuts, trump, will continue providing key if with military support. so this is the reason behind that. they wants to spend all the money already approved by the u. s. congress to help ukraine. and the strategy is broadly supported here by may till members, because they understand stay at the wants to, to provide you quinn with all the equipment, all the weapon stay needs to protect their cities, their infrastructure, and also to they wants to strength and key of the position, should there be any talks with russia in the future? good ideas. so there's some phenomena reporting from brussels. thank you very much for the assembly. thank you. us. and that states are up to date coming up next. the documentary on the dress. this secret police headquarters of the communist regime. i've got office in berlin. excellent. the name is the calls back. said loud. thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay, li

trump administration. with the fifth circuit ruling earlier this year that d.o.e.'s repeal of president trump's -- president trump's efficiency rules were arbitrary and capricious. the court found the biden administration failed to consider, keep in mind this is the court, failed to consider things like appliance performance and the fact that the standards were causing americans to use more water not less. some democrats may want to race down the road to certificate of come replacing the judgments of consumers with with the government -- about the products meeting their needs but not allow them to draw millions of hardworking americans like my district, like the rural parts of my district who are going to go to their appliance store and pay more. my bill prohibits the department of energy from enforcing standards that would increase net costs to consumers. my bill requires them to include costs related to purchase installation so -- keep this in mind, purchase, installation, maintenance, and replacement costs forcing them to be honest about the true cost of the rule

one area where the biden administration and incoming trump administration are working to try and push the israelis and him a deal and hum, smack�*s get a lot of concessions in such a deal. they would get thousands of palestinian prisoners released, some of these palestinians themselves have blood on the hands of israelis, americans and others, they would get a reprieve of israeli troops. i don't think they would pull all the way back out of gaza but certainly a stop in fighting for a period of time. it remains to be seen which side will make that final compromise but i think even as they say that talks are dimming, ithink they say that talks are dimming, i think they are gradually making progress. turning to syria where we are seeing potentially the stoking of divisions, questions and other minorities protesting for rides, what are the concerns that syria's new leadership will be able to govern these groups in a way that is stable and peaceful? i groups in a way that is stable and peaceful?— and peaceful? i think inclusivity _ and peaceful? i think inclusivity is - and peaceful? i think inclusivity is the - and peaceful? i thinkl
