And a little baby goat gets a big old rescue after being stranded on a cliff face for days. Locals took it upon themselves to get the goat down. Our global headquarters in New York City, here's Tiffany Meyer. Good evening and thank you for joining us tonight. New York Judge Juan Marchand is set to decide whether President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction for paying hush money to a porn star should be overturned. Justice Marchand said he will decide by Tuesday. Back in May, a jury in Manhattan found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, but after the guilty verdict, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that presidents are immune from prosecution stemming from official acts. Based on that immunity ruling, Trump's lawyers then argued the case in Manhattan must be dismissed. Judge Marchand will also have to decide if Trump will be sentenced on November 26, as originally planned. Former Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will not be part of Trump's new cabinet. The latest update comes from a post by Trump on Truth Social yesterday. NTD's Fiona Gee has the story. The President-elect wrote, quote, I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to join the Trump administration, which is currently in formation. I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously and would like to thank them for their service to our country. Both Haley and Pompeo responded to Trump on X. Haley said she was proud to have worked with Trump in the past and wished the president-elect success in the coming four years. Pompeo echoed Haley's sentiment and said that they all had, quote, a duty to put America first again. Mike Pompeo was the director of the CIA and then the 70th U.S. Secretary of State under Trump's first administration. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2018. She also ran in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries, but dropped out earlier this year in March. Fiona Gee, NTD News. Joining us now live to discuss this latest development in Trump's cabinet is retired Lieutenant Colonel Darren Galb, political analyst and international military strategist. Colonel, good evening. Yeah, good evening. Good to see you. Let's start off with this. Is this announcement surprising to you at all? No, it's not surprising to me at all. And it's not like there's animosity between all these folks. It's just that Trump has decided that both Haley and Pompeo have done their job for four years and he's looking for a whole other direction under a new administration, a new administration, frankly, that most people have given him a mandate to execute. So let's see what he chooses to do. But this time around, he's had a lot more warning about one of them, his victory, and to get him to different names and different faces that have a lot of experience but aren't necessarily part of the Washington, D.C., insider class. Former Secretary Pompeo featured obviously prominently in foreign policy decisions in relation to communist China, Iran, Israel. What could this signal about changes in foreign policy stance, the fact that Pompeo won't be included in this cabinet? Well, I think ultimately what this is going to tell people is that Trump has recognized this mandate, but part of that mandate comes with the request and or requirement that he not just go back and do the same thing he did before with the same people hoping for different results. Although he had a lot of great results in his first administration, this second administration seems like he could be able to go out and say, okay, we're going to grab some people that people in America may not even necessarily have heard of before, hence his current choice for chief of staff. But they're very good at what they do and they're very effective. Our nation is eminently talented in so many areas that we don't just have to keep pursuing the same names. And I think he's heard that loud and clear. And do you have any particular picks in mind for the upcoming cabinet? Well, there are people across the country I work with closely. And of course, sometimes when you're working in these lanes, you try to keep your names to yourself when someone else you've given your word to asks you to. So there are some excellent people that I hope Americans can be introduced to that I know and that I would love to see in some of these positions. And a lot of them are former military, of course, as am I, so I'm kind of biased towards that. But so far, I'm not surprised by the names who have not been advanced further at this point. No doubt Trump learned some hard lessons from his cabinet pick for his first term. What do you think you'll be applying from that this time around? Well, first of all, I think he's realized that just accepting a name because a think tank produces the name and pushes it forward towards him for any appointment, that that's not necessarily a safe place to go because you end up again with the same Washington, D.C., insider class people that may not want to be part of the agenda that we, the people, the Americans, want Trump to follow. So that to me is going to be the biggest message as he comes out with some of these names is I've learned the lesson that just because they're a large name, well-recognized across the country, doesn't necessarily make them, one, best qualified, two, focused on America first and the people here, and frankly, able to get the best results because we have a lot more people across this country who can do a great job for him to pick. And I truly think that's the message that he's going to receive and send over time. Colonel, looking to the bigger picture here, what changes to the country's overall situation from his first term to now might help or hurt the process of the transitioning of power for Trump's second term? Well, first of all, a lot of things happened during the four years of the Biden administration and frankly, the last year of the Trump administration with the pandemic and everything else. So one of the things that we're going to have to do is make sure that we guard all the information that we possibly can in order to hold people accountable for the things that they did. It's quite clear during that five-year or so chunk of time that there was a lot of malfeasance and unconstitutional authority granted to a lot of different people that they never should have had. And then they exercised the same. The other thing is that we have to hold accountable all those who worked directly against the American people in a variety of different ways. I'm thinking general officers from the military who clearly committed what I would consider to be treasonous or near treasonous activities who need to be called back and put before the people and held to account for their behavior. Department of Justice, almost in its entirety, the January 6th people need to have a truly fair trial and let those results stand where they are and make it quick because that's what the constitution requires. There's so many things that we could do to get this country, the ship of this state right and moving forward. And I think right now what I'm seeing is that there's a much better plan going into this administration, but the next two months is going to be potentially fraught with some danger because a lot of those entities and agencies will try to cover their tracks in the time that they have left. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Darren Galb, thank you for your service and thank you for joining us today. Thank you. Have a good night. Staying with election news, the president-elect picked up Arizona this weekend, capping off a GOP win in all seven swing states. Next voters and a Democratic Party activist in the swing state of Georgia reflect on the state of the race. One of my theories is because we're not meeting the needs of average, everyday working citizens. People are telling you groceries are too high. People are telling you that rent prices are out of control. People have health issues and things like that. And I don't believe that people or followers of the Democratic Party are asking for a handout. People just need relief and these are our representatives. It's like Kamala ain't taking no stance on nothing. She wasn't clear. She didn't like, she wasn't standing on nothing. Trump was at least standing on stuff, like he had clear, he told you what he was going to do, what he wanted. She was like flip flop, like she ain't, she wasn't standing. She wasn't standing on nothing. She's, you know, like I said, the first black woman. It felt good to vote for the first black woman. We had a black president, you know, so I felt like the country needed a woman's perspective. Yeah, I voted for Harris. I'm not a Trump fan. I never will be. That being said, there were plenty of things that I didn't like about Harris. The Israel Defense Forces shared a disturbing video of alleged Hamas terrorists torturing Gaza Strip residents. Please be aware that the video we're about to play contains footage that may be disturbing to some viewers. Israeli forces said troops operating in the Gaza Strip uncovered years worth of video of Hamas terrorists torturing Palestinian civilians. The videos show alleged Hamas operatives beating people who are tied up in unnatural positions. Israel said the videos were filmed while Hamas interrogated civilians suspected of being against the Hamas terrorist group. Israel said the videos, which are from 2018 to 2020, reveal the methods by which Hamas governs the Gaza Strip. There have been many developments in the Middle East since President Trump won the election. NTD's Jason Perry takes a closer look at the changes unfolding in the region before Trump takes office. It's been less than a week since former President Trump won the 2024 presidential election. In that time, the Middle East has seen significant changes. On Sunday, Israel's new defense minister, Israel Katz, said the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon has been defeated. We defeated Hezbollah, and the elimination of Nasrallah was the crowning achievement. Now it is our job to continue the pressure, and here we will work together to materialize the fruits of this victory by ensuring that the security situation in Lebanon has changed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently fired the previous defense minister, Yoav Galant, and chose Katz to lead the Israel Defense Forces. Netanyahu also said he has spoken with President-elect Donald Trump three times in the last few days. These were good and very important conversations, talks that were designed to further tighten the strong alliance between Israel and the U.S. We see eye to eye the Iranian threat to all its components, and the danger posed by it. Israel's defense ministry is also moving forward with sending Israel's Arrow 3 missile interception system to Germany, which Israel sold to the country for $3.5 billion in a U.S.-approved deal. Israel's air defense systems have been highly sought after after it helped Israel defend itself recently against Iran's large-scale missile and drone attacks. That's according to Israel Aerospace Industries. And also in the Middle East, Qatari officials said on Saturday that they would no longer participate in negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Qatar's foreign ministry said it would suspend its efforts until both sides show, quote, willingness and seriousness to resume talks. And in another development, media run by the Iran-backed Houthi terrorist group in Yemen said on Sunday that the United States and Britain launched airstrikes in Yemen's capital and other areas. A U.S. defense official said strikes over the weekend targeted Houthi weapons storage facilities in Yemen. For the last several months, the Houthis have targeted ships in the Red Sea, which it says is in support of the Palestinian people as Israel continues its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Jason Perry, NTD News. Riot police in Amsterdam had to break up a pro-Palestinian protest that took place despite a ban on demonstrations. It follows clashes last week where Israeli soccer fans were attacked. Hundreds of demonstrators defied the ban on gathering in the Dutch capital's Dam Square. They chanted demands for an end to violence in Gaza and to free Palestine. But after a local court ratified the city authority's ban, police moved in, instructing protesters to leave. Several people were dragged away by police. The three-day ban was imposed from Friday after attacks on Israeli soccer supporters following a soccer match on Thursday between visiting Maccabee Tel Aviv and Ajax Amsterdam. The Israeli team lost the game 5-0 before the attack started. The Dutch mayor said the attacks were anti-Semitic. Dutch police said five people were hospitalized and 20 to 30 were likely injured. Dozens were arrested. Trump's victory has boosted momentum to some European nationalist groups who find strong support for their political agenda. However, the continent still seems far from having its own European Trump, according to some political commentators. NTD's international correspondent David Vives reports from Paris. When voting for a new parliament in June, polls showed that the main concerns of the French were the management of illegal immigration, security and inflation, which has affected purchasing power. This mirrors U.S. voters' concerns, as these are the same key issues Donald Trump has campaigned on. However, when it comes to leadership, France seems to lack a comparable figure. With few exceptions, no politicians in France have praised Trump's recent victory. Even National Rally president Marine Le Pen remained silent this time, despite her strong support for Trump in 2016. According to Henri de Lesquin, president of the conservative think tank Carrefour de l'Horloge, a French version of Trump is unlikely to emerge anytime soon. We lack powerful leaders. Marine Le Pen doesn't want to be called out by her political adversaries. The National Rally tried not to appear excessive and don't want to appear as nationalists. Donald Trump campaigned with a straightforward audacity. This is different. Make America great again. The emergence of a strong leader is also hindered by the current context not only in France but in other EU countries as well. Political commentators note that Europe has a less polarized electoral system than in the United States. With different democratic structures and different electoral laws on key issues such as the economy and immigration, France and other EU countries are bound under different European legislation, which prevents any political figure to solely go against Brussels' decisions. Any European directive or regulation adopted in application of the treaty takes precedence over French law. This is totally unacceptable. It runs counter to France's sovereignty. If France wants to become what it should be, it needs at least to get out of some of the European treaties. However, de Leschiens says that Trump's victory gives a strong moral support for conservatism in Europe. If Trump and the Republicans continue their agenda for maybe not just four years but eight or more, this will have a considerable influence on the evolution of policies and conservatism in the long term. So, it's going to strengthen the weight of the right in Western countries and particularly in France. David Vives, NTD News, Paris.

Recent fires have caused one death and filled the skies with smoke. The biggest is a blaze on the border with New York in West Milford. The entire state is going through a drought. An 18-year-old parks worker died in New York on Saturday after a tree fell on him. He was removing potential burnable matter from the pathway of the fires. Rain is expected Sunday night and it could help lessen the flames, but is not expected to make enough to make a big impact. On Tuesday, a Dutch court will decide on Shell's appeal against a 2021 court order to drastically cut carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 from 2019 levels. The appeal could overturn the landmark ruling that shocked the energy sector. In 2021, a Dutch court ordered Shell to reduce its planet-warming carbon emissions by 45% by 2030. Shell is appealing the ruling. On Tuesday, the Court of Appeal of The Hague will rule on Shell's appeal. The original order was seen as a huge win for environmental groups. It not only affects Shell, but also affects emissions caused by the buyers and users of its products. One of the environmental groups, Milieu Défense, predicted the case could pave the way for legal action against energy companies around the world. There are three categories of emissions affected by the ruling. Direct emissions from resources owned or utilized by Shell and its subsidiaries. Indirect emissions from third-party sources Shell used to create energy, including electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. And all other indirect emissions, including from the end users of products Shell sold. The third category accounts for about 95% of Shell's net carbon emissions. A further appeal to the country's Supreme Court is generally expected, regardless of the outcome of this appeal.

Shell Marshall, NTD News. 300 surfers aged over 50 years old gathered today on the Brazilian coastline. They were hoping to break a world record of the most people riding the same wave. Surfers arrived early in the Brazilian city of Santos, many of them having learned to surf only in their latter years. I had a crazy desire to learn, surf, and when I started, I couldn't stop. It's an addiction, but an addiction that's really good. It's a really great sensation to ride the waves. The event was organized by a local school focused on teaching people aged 50 and over to surf. Participants said the sport keeps them healthy and also helps them with issues like depression and solitude. There were some people who were retired and were a bit idle. There were people with depression, there were people with problems, and then they started to get into surfing. While surfing in nature, people talked, made friends and started to be happy. Organizers said a total of 98 people rode a wave at the same time, only 13 people away from the record of 110, established in South Africa in 2009. This is a great example to show the world the importance that, after pandemic and beyond politics, we can all be together on the same wave. Regardless of the record, organizers remain hopeful that this is And over in Hawaii, a baby goat found himself stranded on the side of a cliff for days, until a few valiant locals stepped up to the challenge and went on a rescue mission to save him. The little kid didn't know how to get down or up. It stayed perched there on the cliff face, even though a hiker spotted him and raised the alarm. Little White's fate was in the balance, until some folks nearby saw a social media post about his predicament. With a little determination and some minimal hiking gear, they got out there and befriended the goat with pieces of apple. Safely on land, he now has a name and a new home. Bala, meaning White, is leaving out his days safely at Aloha Animal Sanctuary. Thank you for tuning in. I'm Brendan Fallon. Have a great evening.
