and conflicting politics. one 0, one east on al jazeera. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, al jazeera with structure. ah, i sir. thank us parliament elect serrano with chrome, a single as president in the midst of

a political and economic crisis. ah, here watching al jazeera alive from a headquarters in del hind, daddy and i will gaze also a heads firefighters in western europe battle a heat wave and strong winds. as they tried to extinguish wild fires, italy's prime minister tries to salvage his coalition government after it was pushed to the brink of collapse. and we're in so don's blue nile state where tribal fighting has left at least 80 people dead. ah, hello, we begin in sri lanka where the parliaments is elected rental with, from a single as the new president, a week after, got to buy a roger pox, a fled and then resigned with chromos, sango was serving his interim president, aftermath. protests forced roger pox ought to step down. the 6 time pre premier

will finish the remaining 2 years of his predecessors terms. but he is unpopular with protesters who see him as partly responsible for us or lank as economic crisis gallery. and it is not necessary to say how hard the country's economic condition is. yes, we have to embark on a new program to go forward and we have to work together to do that. and i'm thankful to the other 2 candidates. i invite them to work with me for the development of the country without being offered and this is in colombo and she explains the mood among protesters. it's not a very happy reaction from the general populace and of the protest as many of them who have camped here or just outside this building. i'm here at the president joe's secretary of the president's office outside which for 3 long months there was a concerted campaign 1st to send home, go toby, raj, epoxy as president when he did not heed those calls, we saw him literally being chased out of office. he had to flee the country and then run a vicar missing

a who he had brought in. as the prime minister has now assumed the top job of the land. because he has been voted in by a majority of the parliamentarians, a 134 to 82 at that secret ballad. but for people, what they say is the parliamentarians have not heeded the will of the people. they said they have very clearly indicated that they have no confidence in ron novick promising her who was in an acting capacity after the departure of go toby roger boxer. and they had urged the parliamentarians as they went into that session this morning to reflect the views of the people, the dissatisfaction with run over grimacing, and that entire brigade of people that they said we're mainly looking after the interests of the roger boxes. so even here are we don't have massive numbers just yet, but those here at the protest site, i have had a meeting that come together. they've asked people to rally literally in this

location. we've seen small pockets of people coming through and getting together. helen, catherine mars, a political economist and senior lecturer university of jeff. now he says the political class is protecting itself once again. this was, i think, one of the spheres of most of the protesters here given that the roger boxes and they are talking. ready as opposed to a majority and memory. embodiment is like the monkey, even though the president had to run away and all of these been to move that strength to protect themselves and their interest. and that has prevailed now with all the party members entirely in working to ensure the interest,

the self interest and the interests of the roger family and running. because the thing is why this team to help me deal with 2 months of the present worth of my self appointed him as a prime minister. and that is why 2 weeks ago and they have a very powerful purchase in this country. the protesters demanded that the president mr. mr. new should resign and order given a chance that should give back to months ago on may 12 when he was appointed prime minister that has not been getting different. 2 to the country, he also does not have the credibility to the people in the worst economic crisis since the 19th perkins and what the country means is

a credible leadership. oh, we're taking you live to the london. that's where the outgoing british prime minister, boars, johnson is facing questions in parliament for the last time. let's listen in principles of public life, selflessness, openness, objectivity, honesty, integrity, accountability, and leadership. these are fine principles, but public trust and politicians. is that an all time low? yeah, well the primary to be using the next few weeks to personally consider why this could be an edifying fight for his job. i didn't like him if you need to replace the drum and his wife and why wouldn't i the name of them. oh,

mrs. be gotten like i didn't quite catch the last day to the ladies mention i will be using i will be using the next few weeks to do what i think the people who, whose country would expect from that is drive forward gender or which way we're in 2019 of which i think the labor party particularly fear, the conservative body agenda. that is the agenda of uniting and leveling up and making sure that we invest in play says that for decades were betrayed by labor are left behind. i can shop is going to do, and that's why we're going to wait again. rushes war in ukraine continues. now turkey have withdrawn its opposition to sweden and finland joining nato. so what assessment does my right hon friend make about a short and long term securities of europe? now this is happened private. i thought, i think my own real friend for that and actually question the exception of both

countries. i think who are be good for them. i think it will encourage. oh, it will make all our allies safer, and i think it will make the whole of the euro atlantic a security area a stronger mrs. be, can i? i'm proud of the road that the u. k. has played in that at session with kepsa later, the opposition kissed off. yes. can i start by saying to the prime minister that i do know that the relationship between a prime minister and leader of the opposition is never easy. on this bonds prove no exception to the rule. but i would like to take this opportunity to wish him, his wife and his family the best for the future. yes. can i also put on record our gratitude to the fire and rescue services for all that courageous were yesterday in extreme temperatures all awful. so with those affected by the fires,

particularly those that have lost their hopes. i joined the premise finished comments about the bombings in hyde park and the ira openings. i also join him in his comments about the lionesses. the coverage starts at 730 tonight on ppc one and i'm sure the whole country will be roaring, novel, and for anyone who doesn't fancy football instead, this is all. so if you'd rather watch outrageous characters taking lumps out of it themselves, if you've got a choice, albert square or the tory leadership debates hold camera on that topic. mr. speaker, i just the prime minister thing those buying to replace him decided to pull out of the sky debate last night. and i miss the speaker. i am not

following this thing particularly kind of steve. my hi, my, my impression, my impression is that there's been quite a lot of debate already, and i think the public, i think the public abby's adding an ample opportunity to view the talent, mrs. beka, anyone of anyone with any one of which will as i say before, like some household detergent. what white the fool? yes with right. i mean these 2 today today's happened to be just about the anniversary of the exit from knocked down last year. and do you remember, do you remember what he said? he said, yeah, i'm gonna remind him, he said he was reckless. it was because we were able to take that decision if a speaker supported by every single one of those conservative candidates, opposed by him, that we had the fastest economic growth in the g 7 were not able to help families up and down the country. if we listened to him, it wouldn't have been possible mistake. i don't think they'll be anything to him on his stomach. what will added prestige manage to get through that with

a straight face? actually, i think the truth is this. they organize the tv to buy because they sold or been great charles the public to hear from the candidates 1st hand. yeah. then dishonest astronomy because the public actually heard from a candidate i but, but i'm interested in what he makes of the battle for his job. so let me start with a simple one. just the prime minister. agree with his former chancellor plans put forth by the other candidates off in his words, i've got them here. nothing more than the fantasy economics of unfunded spending promises. oh, i will form it was because they know all about fantasy can only through able maybe committed to 94000000000 pounds of extra taxes and spending armesis because every household in this country would have to pay full to the tune of 2100 pounds it

thanks to the, the former chunks of management of the economy, thanks is covers management of economy. we had growth in may of north point. i don't make nor point 5 percent. we have more people in paid employment that at any time in the history of this country, mister speaker, i leave i'm. i'm proud to be leave the office right now with unemployment. antonia a 50. yes. when they left ne, it was it 8 percent. that's a difference. between them and us mama, mr. speaker. every labor played bite on my leadership is pretty caustic. those via, i mean is buying to replace it of 330000000000 pounds of unfunded spending commitments. but i do know that the protestant didn't agree with his former chancellor. so what about his foreign secretary?

she was withering about the government's economic record and she said again her see they off? if richie has got this great plan for growth, why happened? we seen it in the last 2 and a half years and the treasury, a sofa cushion as a prime minister, i believe, to speak. i think that everybody would agree that what you saw in the last 2 and a half years was because of the time demick, the biggest hall, and i put middle school night put for 300 years, which this government dealt with magnificent bite. by distributing vaccines foster than any other european governments and any other major economy, which would not have been possible if we had listened to him. and that's why this is because we have the fiscal fall apart that is necessary to help families up and down the country,

making tax got virtually everybody paying national insurance contributions. but the difference between labor and the conservative is because it is a crucial philosophical difference. under labor, families on low incomes get most of their income from benefits and the us, they get most of it from earnings. but we just saw that the differences between lisa speaking installation is up again this morning, a millions are struggling with the cost of living crisis. and he, he's decided to come down from this gold wallpaper bunker for one last time. i said everything is fine. i am going to miss the delusion, but his foreign secretary didn't stop there, mister speaker. she also said that the full but talks this 15 tax rises are leading the country into recession. yeah. and the member for portsmouth, nor was even more scathing. she said again, her words are public serves his are in

a desperate state. yeah. we can't continue with what we've been doing because it clearly isn't working as the prime minister told who's been running out public services for the last 12 years. yes, mrs. because this is absolutely good, he's doing this completely satirical. this is the government, this is the government that is investing 650000000000 pounds in infrastructure in skills in technology talked about public service. what really matters to people is probably right now is getting to getting their appointments, getting their operations, fixing the credit. that's what the fixing the i'm going to do, what he should be talking about and this is bigger, and that's why we voted through. that's why we pause for 39000000000 public health and it's a speaker which day oppose what i every time something needs to be done mister speaker, they try to oppose it. it is a great, pointless human boulevard missus bigger. that's what ha,

mister speaker phone. if only were satirical, it's all the future i think with, we want to get to him to east coast is quite a view of you wanted to catch my eye. it will be, will have live, get through in order to do that, kissed alma i appreciate, i may not want to hear what the future liter thinks that that thought it. but i think the country needs to know if only it were satirical prime minister. it's what the candidates think of the reco. yeah. but among the mudslinging was one very important point because the member for suffering walden claims that she was the former chancellor that was handling taxpayer money director to pollsters in cove loans. she says he dismissed her warrant on that. as a result, he cost the taxpayers 17000000 takia, just the primary to think that she's telling the truth. and i was,

is of the last gloss from captain hindsight i was just pick up and it leads to me to me because they were the party. i remember they were the party who was who are so so desperate for us to be a hiring their friends were to get to with tv. they will do the football agent to supply the actual cost you mia? to supply p. p. age. remember mr. mrs. bigger we, we had to get that stuff at record fee or we produced $408000000000.00 pounds worth of support for families of the busy up and down the country. mrs. bigger and the only reason we were able to do it at such b is because we managed the economy in a central hallway labor. every time they left off, is it unemployment higher? the economically illiterate mrs. bigger and they would read the economy. i think the message coming out of this leadership contest is pretty clear. they got us into

this mess and they had no idea how to get us out. the back to 4 on saturday says we can't go well with our current economic policy that the member for portsmouth north bemoaned the fact that what we've been doing has not been good enough for the member for sat, for goal to properly put ship best. when she simply asked, why should the public trust us? we haven't exactly covered ourselves in a future leaders, words, they've trust every part of their recording government from dental care ambulance response times to the highest taxes in 70 year. what message does it send when the candidates be prime minister? can't find a single decent thing to say about him about each other or that record in government? yes, this is peter. what does he say? who does he need see about him? the no one to name a single policy,

a position apart from putting up. he's one of those pointless questing ballade. hi ronda, right? a deserted road works on emerge way mister speaker. we got wretched done. he basically didn't feed 48 times. we got these country parts out of clothing, in spite of everything he would have gotten when he would have kept us in lockdown . we're fixing social 10. this is because they have had no idea and we're not bringing forward measures a with of in the face. it strikes to outlaw wildcat strikes the speaker. i continue to i know well perhaps i can tell you why i can tell you why he does that funny wouldn't happen. gesture, i'll tell you why does that funny? wouldn't that good mister speaker? he's got, he's a, he's not the union bound, pulling his friends. 100000000 pounds is

a big deal. we restored our democracy and our independence. we've got this country through kind of big, and i'm proud to say the way it comes to tackling climate change was taking up for ukraine. we have led the world on the international phase, will thank my friends and colleagues on these benches for everything that i have done. hello, booster speaking in, in september, it will be 25 years since the other 25th anniversary of the referendum on devolution. devote scotland and wales, one in 20 people in england on the other. jess have been waiting for for more than a year in wales. that's what in 5 and school leaders in wales, 75 percent of whom say that they don't have enough capital to maintain their existing buildings regardless of building and the others in his final opportunity. so you're just watching the outgoing you k prime minister, forrest johnson who was facing his final prime minister. his questions being

pressed by the labor leader curious dimer on a number of issues including the tory leadership battle currently going on as well as the corona virus pandemic. let's bring jona hall for more on this. he's joining us live from west minister. so jonah, pretty boisterous. prime minister question. give me a better show. yes. boisterous as ever. of course, that is the nature of prime ministers. questions. of course, it was never likely that the leader of the opposition was going to school many points off a prime minister in his final appearance at prime minister's questions bar. as far as johnson barely engaging with any of those questions, of course he himself has very little left to lose. but he estimate doing his solid best suggesting that the leadership contest that everybody is in stroll with at the moment. of course, in the house of commons, risks tearing the party apart, its candidates at loggerheads at each other's throats, revealing criticisms of the party's own record in government. he talked about

fantasy economics, unfunded spending, pledges being made, and a government that has brought the country to a period of, through a period of record low growth, high inflation and high taxation will pars johnson was having none of that. he said he wasn't really following the leadership contest very closely, but he was sure any candidate static would wipe the floor with labor like detergent . he said, and of course exp as was expected using the opportunity again to unit jive the achievements of his government in office, his relatively short term and office of course. restoring our independence rec, reference to briggs, that successful vaccine distribution through the coven pandemic, record low unemployment, an infrastructure investment, and an old time high. and the leader of the opposition wished the prime minister in the end, his wife and his family well. and with that, the final appearance of boris johnson as prime minister at the dispatch dispatch box was done. so jo,

now looking ahead on that leadership contest. how close do we expect it to be and talk us through the next few hours? while in about half an hour, they'll break up and the vote will begin the vote. the final ballot among conservative party empties there are 3 candidates left standing by the end of the afternoon. we will have to those 2 will go through to vote by conservative body members later in the summer with a new party leader and prime minister revealed on september the 5th. but it is a type race, it is an unpredictable race. there are even suggestions that in their contingency plans are being made for perhaps another vote. if this one ends in a tie and what a bit of contest it has become. arguably, the 2 lead candidates standing now refuse to not perform a chance to the scene and down the street is having betrayed this prime minister having conspired against him this trust, the foreign secretary. he's closely contended she's seen as perhaps the candidate

most likely to continue bars. johnson's brand of populous politics. but of course, you can't rule out any more than she's the less well known quantity standing here, a relative outsider, trade minister, but not inside johnson's cabinet. she's the only candidate who promises any chance of any real break with the pass. all right, thank you so much. john hall reporting from london. thank you. large areas of europe are burning. that's as the continent swelter is in a heat wave firefighters in western spain are battling forest fires, threatening lives and homes. same bas robbie isn't spain's northwestern's or more a province where a dozens of villages have been evacuated. the sound of salvation in the skies over north west spain. right now every drop of water math from these hilltops, it is clear. the situation below is dark. on the ground. things

are much worse. tabatha is on fire. panic residents look for any help they can find. as the flames near with these wildfires comes chaos. desperation the animals she says are still inside the ship. i'm trying to sell their homes, their livestock, their livelihoods, every 2nd campus. the door, the town of tomorrow's a key strategic location. the command and control center based here is coordinating

air and ground operations throughout the castilian young province. precious little rest for teams working around the clock to keep pace with wildfires in real time. this is my 25 year. has it ever been this bad? and no, of course. absolutely, no. came up change is very person. and there's a question is related with that we did wrote these fires have a pulse the most danger firefighters say, is the late afternoon. the hottest part of the day when the sun is highest and the winds are strongest. this fire is happening all across this part of spain, but these flames represent the kind of change in the profile of these wildfires. the fires are moving from the hill country down. they've burnt up all the fuel they could find in the hills and now they're looking for more fuel moving downwards

towards more populated areas. as they put out one fire more come alive. climate change experts say has altered the behavior of wildfires. they now burn faster, hotter and longer for people living here, say everything can't aspire, and you cannot trust the ground. zane basra, the audience here, about the italian prime minister mario druggie has told parliament he is prepared to stay on despite tendering his resignation. last week. druggie says he will remain in his post if the parties and his coalition are prepared to support him. the prime minister announced he would step down after the populace. fivestar movement refused to back his coalition in a parliamentary confidence vote. but president sergio metella rejected his resignation. adam rainy has more from rome. just after the speech, you had the head of the p. d. one of the largest members of this unity government. tweeting out that if we didn't know, we should vote for that argue 5 days or a few days. so we definitely know now what, what is speech, what, what

a leader we have. so clearly they're trying to push and get everyone on board. but just moments after that tweet from and recollected at leader of the p d. we spoke to a member of the fivestar movement here outside of parliament. and he told us, it really wasn't what that party was expecting. again, for our viewers. the fivestar movement is this shrinking political party in italy that is playing this key role and did not vote in that confidence vote last week. so it's hard to tell how they will vote later in the evening here in rome, but there's a lot of pressure building for them to get on board draggy is extremely popular nationwide. and you see other members have this ruling coalition saying, let's just get this important work done. the we have to get on board. we need to support that. are you get into 2023. solve some of the big problems at least facing and have elections then. whereas if he weren't to win a confidence vote and the government were to collapse, he would see a lot of uncertainty in the following months. it probably be an early election in the fall. the budget would be postponed,

so many things to italy need to solve would be intractable and probably hard to solve in that kind of political condition. 1000 a sudan house of people have been protesting, demanding justice for those killed and tribal violence in the blue 9 states. at least 80 people have been killed since fighting broke out last week between the bertie and how's a groups here. but morgan reports were here in one of the residential districts and were serious locality. incidence blue now states and this area here was a scene of fighting between members of the house of tribe and members of the font tribe. it's a coalition of various other tribes. now it's has thought had over land dispute with members of the french tribe, saying that the house of tribe had tried to take overland and claim it as bears. this has led to a curfew being declared in the state after at least 80 people were killed. and more than $200.00 injured as a result of the fighting houses and properties have been burned,
