Former Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for defence secretary, faced four hours of grilling by the Senate Armed Services Committee. He was challenged over previous comments made about women in the military; elsewhere he vowed to restore a “warrior ethos” to the Pentagon. Also on the programme: how Russians have been trying to get Ukrainians to sabotage their military, to secure the release of a loved one; and a Canadian pilot, whose skill has impressed the world in scooping up seawater to put out the LA fires.

P.M. Edition for Jan. 14. Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, faced questions over his past behavior and qualifications to lead the Pentagon. WSJ national security reporter Nancy Youssef gives us her read of the room, and what the hearing signals about Trump’s other cabinet picks. And in his first days in office, Trump plans to sign executive orders that would boost the U.S. fossil fuel industry. Plus, though the labor market appears strong, power is shifting from employees to employers.
