for the dw dues live and from berlin labors and the u. k. going to the polls to elect a new parliament, k prime is originally so now i can use conservatives of reason for a major defeat. after 14 years of tory role, voters are expected to send labor party leader care star into number 10 downing street also coming up to 9. tensions continue on the streets of kenya after weeks of protest against president william rich up and a hurricane barrow, lashing jamaica with fierce winds and heavy rain. the record breaking storm is now headed for mexico and the southern united states.

the i bring top is good to have you with this voters are going to the polls and the new case general election. and they are expected to vote for change. the opposition labor party is the over whelming favorite to when they are expected to end 14 years of conservative rule. fremont is to reach you as soon as they surprised call with these early elections, a decision that is projected to backfire on the recent polls that show the voters are deeply dissatisfied with his government and care. stormers center left labor part, it is on course for what is expected to be a landslide victory or the cost of living in the state of the country's health care system are among the key issues for britain's still the prime minister of these, hoping that he can sway there's undecided voters

voting on a brave face, prime minister, racist so not lead, didn't he send to ride the conservative party in the political fight that he himself called for. and is likely to many people. they want to say the result of this election is a full grown confusion. the all i believe in my bones that it is no, i think you do to. we do not surrender to labor. we will fight for every vote. we will fight for all values. and we will fight for our vision of person. but this time, it seems that this vision is all to of stick with what the british people want of to 14 years. in paula, the conservative so know, facing a mess of defeat is thomas sent to leslie. the party is now 20 points ahead in the polls and isn't close for victory. changed labor policies they bought showed up

moving forward to a guy with a lady picked up. but that is what we're fighting for. let's continue that fight. if you will change your hoc to vote for it. and this change is what the british population seems to want. service indicate both has a most consent fall, the cost of living as trained health care system and migration, which has increased in recent years. and this last issue placed into the hands of nigel thrush. and he's on to me, gratian reform you, key party. the party has seen this search in support. and while it's not likely to get a significant number of seats in parliament, it will still change britain. spell it a go, let's keep but whoever gets to full the next bridge, the government will have to prove to the british public. that this time they made the right choice would be, is charlotte, joseph hill, she's in london. she has more now on the selection as well. we are expecting to

have a much clearer picture of those results in just a few hours time. polls here close at 10 pm, and that is when the action really is going to start immediately. we will get an exit poll, giving a very clear picture of who is going to leave the country. now, historically, these exit polls, the sample surveys have been passing very to have accurately predicted the law just policies that would get, give us a good sense of how the night is going to proceed throughout the evening. you will then start to get the results from the 650 different constituencies with some of the ones in the 80 hours of the morning expected to be bell. whether it's for where the election is going to go. you will then expect a clear results in the early hours of the morning. now the way the polling of works here is that whoever wins the most value in every constituency, when is that seats,

and then should a policy have a majority, tomorrow they will be able to go to the king. the king lost them to form a government. you will then to have that landmarks name and whether new prime minister will give a speech outlining his vision for the country. now, i'm limited here in the u. k. as to what i can say about some of those issues at stake due to u. k. electro little box of to 14 is, is conservative that governments 6 weeks of campaigning versus here. all having the say at polling stations like the one behind me and some 40000 others a they all having nessa on who will leave the country. and charlotte, what can you tell us about labor leader cures storm or she, if we believe the policy could very, very well be the next bridge? probably minister steve benita, all of the all positions cents left labor policy since 2020 who took it from his

previous that's a jerry me cool. been off the he lost the general election in 2019 a lot of has been has been made of the case down in the background. he is a human rights lawyer. famously, we're here alone, but his father was a tool maker, but he's not a fresh face to politics. a we've been seeing him engaging with prime minister where she see not as the leader of the opposition. and the country will, of course, have to say on, on which man they would like to lead this country. we will, of course, bringing you bring you all those results this evening from when the exit poll comes in. alright, the w, as in charlie chose and deal with the latest from london onto this election day in the u. k. charlie, thank you. here's some of the other stories now that i'm making headlines around the world. greek labor unions have protested in athens. they are demanding the withdrawal of a new law allowing a 6 day working. we took effect on monday. government says that it mainly applies

to 24 hour businesses with shift workers. and then it will boost productivity, but union and say it's a rollback of hard one workers, points. china has confirmed and several of and citizens are dead or missing in an attack in the democratic republic of congo. beijing says militants targeted a chinese funded company on wednesday it happened in the north east, a region rich and mineral resources where a text or call him, he'd be in tenure now, there has been no lit up in inside government projects that have swept the country young people return to the streets again, this week. angry about soaring prices for living, living costs, and the lack of opportunity in general. some are demanding the resignation of president william branch of the demonstrations of turned violent at times was dozens killed and injured in classes with police use. mario mueller reports tonight

from nairobi. it started off as an exciting day for david monkey he arrived early at last week's protest and only with a water bottle. the face, my mood was cheerful. he says, i don't watch why was taking sofas with the police. i'm challenging piece, but then the middle chang with the money on the some next to me with shots people stotts, i'm shopping, get to the ground. i started running, then i had to buying and i was a hit. the bullet went right through his neck. now in the hospital, he's waiting for a 2nd operation. david one, the accounts themselves lucky protest and next to him was shot in the head and later died. he doesn't regret taking part in the protest. he says he's fed up with the government because of its corruption and nepotism. i think you have lots of problems with education system is broken. it's not what you know, but who, you know, looked at me. i graduated from university and now i'd be reduced to driving taxis

and the police still harassed of me. he graduated with a geography degree 3 years ago, but hasn't been able to find a job. it's a fate shared by many 67 percent of 10 years young people are unemployed. he did temporary work until his mother took out a loan to buy him a motor bike. so he could work as a motor tax driver of somebody, somebody might as we just have to survive in this life. so even if you follow the rules of, i'm fine. them you still sofa? pardon? southern really, really hard him told me on the 19 year olds able to him come out attended the same demo as david, but he never returned home. his mother says he was about to start college and was known for standing up for the less privileged. i haven't updated emails to fight for people's rights and when he couldn't stand seeing people being depressed, i prefer yes. then people to him come out, his family wanted to hold

a remember and ceremony for him and other kids. protestors were forced to change the location. police quoted of the area early in the morning, feeling protests outside the hospital. this group of young people are also at risk of being disposed by the police. they spontaneously mobilized a crowd of social media in support of the injured protest is here to the lab. has some of the low use. wait, and we had didn't know enough blood. so we have come to have purchased has changed for being about the cost of living prices and against the tax bill to demanding justice of the accountability for those killed. doing last week's deputy demonstrations. the protesters one president, william, brutal to resign. you i know to you had an event i thought was on the bus. dia, there will be more to come on, be must remove, not to go from about the inside the hospital. david monkey is concerned about how

he'll support his family if he can't work. but like the buddhist, as he remains to time, don't do that and you know, to ride a motorbike, you need your legs. i'll just have to deal with it. i will get back. so i will get back to or what do you have, the who responded, it is kamani has more now on the current mood in nairobi. young protest as expected on the streets of nairobi, this does the one know where to be found for the business men and women of the street that is much relief for them. on tuesday, this was a scene of open looting as goods. as it been tom's infiltrated, what's his lodge me before this point? a peaceful protest. now this shop on tuesday was vandalized and we want to find out from the lead the, what she's doing to try and pick up pieces together. seduced and i don't know where to begin. you so me fixing up the place myself value when i don't know where we

will start. i think i had dresses here from top to bottom. children's clothes all around to them, yet they took everything, including hangers and bags and they took everything they took is the government now has a difficult task of rebuilding, not just the infrastructure, but trust in its young people. now despite this being a relatively come, de security personnel have been deployed in various strategic places. what you're seeing behind me that is a police truck full of anti riot police offices. now they've been placed is for to areas including this road which leads to parliament. and so for the protest of the question is simple. without turning up to date. does this mean the movement is over? come and tell us please. it's kind of a bit of a so possible for you to be over because good governance is a continuous process. so we have seen some good changes. we have some good talk, but we have to wait and see. is this going to translate into meaningful gains for

us? so it's going to be over as though we are the ones who will say when it's over. the protest does have a new list of the mags key among them. the overall of the entire cabinets of kenya, and on sunday, the 7th of july, these protests of hope to hold the concepts on all those lovely. i live during the process and also to reclaim the narrative of this movement. that was, it is the commodity of reporting, rushes were on ukraine has raged on now for over 2 years. and the cost of both sides have been immense. one of the possible spoils, however, a victory could also be what is in the ground. ukraine has, here's deposits of lift the, that's an important metal for batteries that power, electric cars or smartphones fighting near the ukrainian village of quota hobo earlier this year. above the ground towns that have seen dozens of tank battles since the war began. what you don't see is the hundreds of millions of dollars of

lift the, the geologist say it's likely underground. the ukraine has significant deposits of natural resources that could make russians war, financial aid, pay off. in addition to lift cm and there are significant oil, gas, metal, oars, rivers, and precious metals buried beneath the soil, potentially worth more than 20 trillion dollars. lithium is a key material for the future of electric cars and many smart technologies. ukraine's deposits are located in the queue of 400 and don't yet sc regions. care of that is still under ukrainian control, while much of done yet is occupied by russia. before the war, the european union, the headed cy on ukraine's deposits especially of lithium and currently enforced almost all of the mineral from china. in 2021, the u and ukraine agreed to a strategic partnership for raw materials. there is a norm, us potential because security tacoma federal essential for the kind of an icing of all right, going on. these can be found in abundance in ukraine,

according to the u. s. to war and ukraine has cost rusher. well, over a trillion dollars in economic losses, as well as hundreds of billions and expenses on the war itself. but the trillions hiding under ukraine's fields and factories put far away that in a war this had such a mass of human cost. we're going to email from washington is grace elizabeth scott on. she's the director of the project on critical minerals security at the center for strategic and international studies. his background is good to have you with this tonight. let's just look at the last few years and 2020, the european union approved the green deal, which meant demand for electric cards, which soon surge demand for lithium batteries as well, 6 months later, by the way of putting invades ukraine. is that a coincidence? the resources have sometimes been an incentive,

but i don't think there's any case for causation here when we actually go back and look at how much lithium does ukraine have ukrainian researchers of estimated that the eastern region has about $500000.00 tons of lithium, which is significant, given that, particularly as we said earlier, we need it for d carbons ation gold har that still amounts to about 2 percent of global reserves. but now if you think about it in the big picture of what the invasion has actually cost russia in terms of distinctions, in terms of trade, some of these other dimensions, it's going, it's pretty significant. so it's, it's a bit of a stretch. i would argue to say that he went for those resources the how big of a deal is it if this ends up environment pollutants has, i mean, is it enough to delay or even possibly sink europe's transition to clean energy? so in terms of libya and when we look at countries that have significantly larger reserves of libya and then what we think we have in ukraine,

we're looking at chalet, argentina, the us, canada, china, of course. and so what it, what it could look like is you'd be, you'd probably be closer source of live yet. but a lot of this, again, it's undeveloped resources. bring natural resources like, you know, minds online can take 101520 years at times. so this would be a very long term undertaking in ukraine to start with in the near term, i don't think we're, we, we're going to see that impact a strongly however, what we do know is that we have this from global experience for centuries. now is that resources can for a long conflict? so if we can choose us to take build those mines out, take those resources, he can use it to fund future complex. do you see it considering there is this deposit the, that the part of it isn't the don't invest? were you have these russian controlled forces? now, is that a disincentive? do you think for vladimir approach? and if he does sit down at the negotiating table to agree to return

territory to ukraine, considering what's underneath the soil. yes, it is to 2 things to unpack there. one is, it can of course, resources could be a disincentive, right? there's very monetize of all resources under your feet, so that there does carry in. got howard. but the 2nd thing we have to remember that i think isn't being talked about as much is mining is incredibly energy intensive. in some countries, it can use a 3rd to half of the grid power countries, great power ukraine's energy infrastructure has been wiped out pretty severely. i think over half of the power generating capacity is gone. now we're on rolling, but black out. so the fact is, is that there are so far rebuilding ukraine's infrastructure to even get to a point that you can mine is that of course it could be marketing. sure, because there's money underground, but it could also turn out around to be an incentive to rebuild the infrastructure if you are to ever want to mind. what would it mean for ukraine if it loses control

of these lithium deposits that are at present, you know, underneath ukrainian territory? well, those resource would, wouldn't be there to be able to, to, to benefit on. so essentially what that means is a permitting would be done by russia, they would get to decide who lines it. therefore whoever minds it pays taxes to russia. so ends up happening is the country um, socio economically does not actually benefit from the resources under their fee if they are not the ones who, oh, if you create as a government does not own those resources. and you know, if you look into the future, i'm talking near future here. what type of role do you see valuable minerals playing in the russian invasion of ukraine? i mean, are we talking about a role that is getting bigger by the day? i and i think as we start to look at what the next phase is, we're talking about reconstruction. we're talking a lot about the private sector investment. you know, how do we get entering back on its feet? what does it look like?

natural resources are going to be a part of that, and we've seen this kind of across major emerging economies that as we look at the economic recovery, mineral resources report. part of that because it is something that can build and get the investment, get the infrastructure and get the jobs going. however, right now, i mean i'm going to just pull back and look quickly at russia next door. and the other day, we were looking at the data in terms of nickel palladium uranium. russia is still producing the same amount of resources as they were in 2021 by and large. but the exploration has dropped off by over 6070 percent. so the biggest risk we face going forward is because when you combine political and economic risk, lack of infrastructure, people or companies are going to be less likely to explore the regions right now a lot of the deposit cert, specular, tory phase. they're not at a point where we can be like, drill a line tomorrow. so we need that bridge now is growing to be able to go from speculation to production,

grace and the best to run. we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thanks for having me. well, hurricane barrel is heading for mexico. after battering jamaica there was labeled a category 5 storm at one point and has caused a wide spread destruction to cross the caribbean. its load, the category 3 button will remain at or near hurricane streams into next week. the storm is killed at least 10 people. so for batteries and sluggish jamaica is the latest car would be a nation to. so for the damaging effects of barrel this wins in excess of 200 kilometers per hour and heavy rain from cuba to venezuela. grenada and st. vincent done the grand nadine, the deadly storm is leaving. it's mark the

cayman islands and mexico or no bracing for barrel. the hurricane is the earliest to reach category 5, a result of climate change according to some experts. it's path is not certain, but it could eventually end up hitting the us state of texas. here in mexico's, you could time peninsula preparations were being made. some areas have been evacuated by the navy. the, for a long time, we were in a very vulnerable strip of land where we have to see on one side and the lagoon on the other. and the waste of the community is about half a kilometer or a little less. i'm not sure exactly. so a hurricane, even a category to that causes the c to rise, which has happened before with the c merges within the go when it's very dangerous for people to stay here. then in nearby tourist resorts preparations are being made for barrels arrival. with many, also stocking up on provisions on the beach though

visitors enjoyed the last few hours of calm weather before the storm will be sent here because their flight. so do you will. and so when they and the thing will just take advice from the will tell and the that it, or the, or the we're not to scare the barrels. seeing here is it hit jamaica is expected to make landfall and mexico late on thursday or early on friday. we're doing now by garfield burford. he's the news director at a b. s t v and radio in mt a in the south eastern caribbean. it's good to have you with this and just talk us through about the damage that you've seen in the eastern caribbean from hurricane barrel and where this storm is headed. right. just to be with you on the tv with your audience as well. so how we can barely has been record working in so many respects, making land full in the southeast and how be in on monday morning of this be the

honors of tardy to on picking him off. and if these were a possible out of state, or we need a pausing significance damage and howard, who am i speaking, fox, most of those houses on those islands already with all their rooms. were we talking significant damage? they are killing at least some people. the teens have been to the front of us and we need that as well, and towing onto jamaica because the most invested in jamaica yesterday into this morning. and then it's not affecting the semen islands. i've been onto as a correspondence, then i'm moving onto mexico. and instead of within the next 40 hours 30 to 48 hours so afraid of death and destruction forced my darrow. the 1st storm ever in history to be counted or 5 so early in july, of course there was one emily in 22005, which was not verified, but this was all the way on the 16th of july. so this is the 1st time that we've had such an early category on record breaking in the eastern caribbean, you are often the 1st to feel the brenda of hurricanes. what are people thinking

with such a strong hurricane hitting as you just mentioned? so early in the season, are many people are very, very concerned, and many people are concerned that this is a bond omen. it is a river you know, special events happening because one and for 10 is the rest of the heart of can see with which has already been for last to be extremely active. in fact hyperactive vista both for the rest of the season. but it already, we haven't had it or 5 storm adjustability to the 2nd month of the season and what to expect going for the 4th, the traditional peak of a hurricane. steve, leave early september. well, the 2nd week of september, or whatever it is a significant once you get a long way to get before you get to the peak of i've got about a minute. let me ask you a month ago and take a hosted a global conference on small island developing states and i, hurricanes and cycle i would assume must have been a focus. and now you're dealing with this story. maybe it's kind of ironic. were

you thinking about this possibility? well, when you look at what happens there, it was almost prescient in terms of what his motions on a for you in fits conference to you and, and so you don't want me to, i should say fine to was here. the ross of hurricanes are a we were out of the all of the way or the possible they were in the northeastern harvey and the southeastern was affected, and then onto the central office conference focused on these issues focused on the challenges of the bundle abilities faced by small island developing states, climate change, which is making the seas walmart, and therefore facilitating our attends as powerful as i can barely making it extremely difficult. these obviously and issues. that's why i'm developing states. one of the rest of the world, the mindful of decisively. and i'm under garfield burford with a b as a public broadcasting in antigua. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us . we know it's a busy time for you. thank you. thank you so much. all the pharmacy,
