 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. German politicians and the media have reacted to Donald Trump's election victory in the US by aggressively normalizing fascism. In opposing the deal on "national security" grounds, the Biden White House and the unions have aligned with Trump's "America First" nationalism. The danger of another declaration of martial law or military coup remains in South Korea as Yoon makes clear he intends to cling to power, emboldened by the rolling back of protests by the opposition party. There are strong indications that the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)/National People's Power (NPP) government played a role in cancelling the lecture. Israel killed at least 82 Palestinians in air strikes during the first three days of the new year, as reports emerge of children freezing to death in the Gaza winter. Following Johnson's election, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries promised to work with Republicans and the incoming Trump administration "on any issue, whenever and wherever possible," including to "secure our borders." The most that senior Labour cabinet minister Wes Streeting would say of Musk's actions was that "some" of the criticisms were "misjudged" and "misinformed". He continued, "But we're willing to work with Elon Musk… If he wants to work with us and roll his sleeves up, we'd welcome that." Government spending on culture in Britain is a tiny fraction of overall spending: only 0.17 percent of GDP in 2023 and among the lowest rates in Europe, where the average is around four-and-a-half times higher—at a still-low 0.74 percent. The horrific attack that left five people dead and more than 200 injured at the Christmas market in Magdeburg on December 20 is being exploited by German politicians to expand the powers of the police and intelligence services and establish a police state. The renewed negotiations between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers Party, which Turkey has been trying to suppress for 40 years, are part of the war in the Middle East--which has escalated with the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza, the struggle for the division of Syria, and the efforts of the US imperialism to reshape the region. Data gathered by the New York State Nurses Association show the ineffectual character of the legislative reform that it had championed. While the local authorities have declared the death not to be suspicious, the perfunctory character of the reporting on the case and silence surrounding what actually happened speak to the utter indifference felt within the financial oligarchy towards the lives of the workers they employ. In the same week that the bushfire in the Grampians began, the Albanese Labor government announced four coal mine expansions. The coroner found Simon Cartwright's death from a peptic ulcer in Silverwater jail was "preventable" and a result of "unacceptable care." Industrial Bank of Korea workers strike over low pay; India: Porters at Gujarat textile warehouses strike over heavy loads; Western Australia: Offshore LNG platform workers continue industrial action About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
