Folge vom 16.01.2025(dot) Gov: The Department Of The Interior And The Department of EnergyFor the this installment of our (dot) GOV series, we're taking a closer look at two departments with big responsibilities.

It's made up of about 70-thousand workers.

Folge vom 16.01.2025ICYMI: Israel And Hamas Have Agreed To A Ceasefire DealNegotiators have reached a ceasefire deal, with a path to ending Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza. It is set to begin on Jan. 19.The war in Gaza began after Hamas' attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. About 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage. In response, Israel launched a military offensive in Gaza.Gaza's health ministry says more than 46,500 people have been killed during the war. A new, peer-reviewed study in The Lancet suggests that the death toll could be 40 percent higher than that tally. Israel says 94 of the hostages remain in Gaza, of whom 34 are presumed dead.

Folge vom 15.01.2025(dot) Gov: The Department Of Agriculture And The Environmental Protection AgencyIt's safe to say most Americans hear the most about the U.S. Department of Agriculture when things go wrong — namely when something has to be recalled.But the department is responsible for so much more than just delivering bad news. It consists of 29 agencies that employ some 100,000 employees across 4,500 locations both domestic and abroad.Another agency whose name shows up when things go wrong is the Environmental Protection Agency. As its name implies, it's tasked with creating and upholding standards that protect the health of Americans and our environment, including our natural resources and ecosystems. It's an important, if sometimes thankless, responsibility.We discuss what the agencies and their responsibilities. Want to support 1A?
