6:00 pm
me, i saw my son in 15 years and i felt like, you know, at this time the band system we're going to, i'm just not willing to accept the way the fans show legislation. can i get the room that's going to speak to a major need for my come in and this bill identifies use violence as opposed to filter damage. last year we are $200.00 murder. the ripple effect of violence when it comes to youth stretches far. why? we went away. i the open to their english where the image you see now is all the committee room in the house, the parliament where the conservative parties. 922 committee will convene shortly
6:01 pm
for expecting them to announce the 2 candidates that have been successful in gaining the peas and vote. that will then lead them to much larger membership vote and indeed replace boris johnson as prime minister of the united kingdom. and in turn, be the conservative party leader as well. now the votes in parliament this week have narrowed the field candidates to just 3 ritchie sooner, who still the favorite less trust the foreign secretary and penny mordant, also not in the cabinet, but certainly a popular candidate that we have gray and raising the chair of the 1922, with the about to announce the results along with a committee member for the envelope. let's listen some blue paper that's returning office. i can give you the results of the balance of 357 votes were cast
6:02 pm
out of a possible 358. they were to spoil ballot papers. the numbers of various cast for each candidate is as follows. mordant 105, soon act. 137, trust, 113. therefore richie soon act and lives trust will be the candidates going forward to the final about as the conservative party members. the ballot will close on the 2nd of september, and i will announce the results at 12 30 pm on monday, the 5th of september. thank you very the short and sweet. the result land from the great and brady, he's actually the mp faltering of the sale west have been a great demand just north west of england. we have the result. let's cross over to
6:03 pm
jonah hall table on there to live for us in westminster. and so china, we have a results now and this result will go towards the wider conservative membership across the united kingdom. what i have said that is the expected results, certainly on the numbers that have been developing during the course of the week to quickly remind you, richie, soon as a former chancellor of the exchequer, he pitches himself as the, the candidate most likely to lead the party to victory, the next election, stabilizing the economy, and dealing with the cost of living crisis. as he goes, he is not popular inside downing street where he is seen as having betrayed the prime bar johnson and conspiring against him. he's also not popular with the members of the party list, trust the foreign secretary, she promises to restore what she calls a truly economic, truly conservative rather economic agenda with lower taxes,
6:04 pm
higher spending on defense, no real plan for how to pay for them. but she's seen broadly as the john sonya and continuity candidate most likely to continue or is johnson's brand, the populace politics? let me bring in my guess. now. john ashmore, the editor of cap x, that's a conservative leaning website. thanks for joining me, john. what do we make of this? it was the it was the expected pairing. was it? yeah. as you say, i think most people thought it would be once the last round results came out. okay, well that's probably plays well for this truck because kimmy bade not to drop out before was more on the same wing of the policy is this trust and it looks as though . ready most of her supports have gone to less trust, obviously some of them have gone so probably more than as well. so it wasn't as though they didn't move on block and coming by, you know, it was, i wasn't gonna endorse a particular candidate. but yeah, trustee so not. and interestingly when this, when bought some, some resigned. some people saying we could have someone kind of shoot from the back of the pack. someone who's not that well known. but we have that to a degree with kimmy bade not,
6:05 pm
but really it's the 2 most established huge figures party to very well established . yeah, it goes to people who held high offices of state. so they've got all the experience that they need to go into the top job having a mr. soon act. is it some of a disadvantage according to an opinion paul of conservative party members taken this week? that seems to show pretty clearly that he would have been beaten by just about all the candidates and the more so by least trust how worried will his campaign be about that? do you think? i think they'd be concerned, but i think they will have a plan to address that. you're right in that he matched up pretty poorly against all of those candidates, whoever it had been there was perhaps a sense that of the 3 las trust was the preferred candidate to go up against. because in her own words, she's not the most polished presenter. she's trying to make, i think that's quite cleverly trying to make an asset of that fact in much the same way. so such a job it did last time. you say, oh, i haven't had elocution lessons or anything like this. so i think his team will
6:06 pm
think, well, he is good on the stand piece. good is quite persuasive. it's on, there's a long way to go. the one thing i would say though, is that this is slightly strange. election in the tory members are going to be able to vote pretty much straight away over number of weeks. it's not as though they have a small window. ready towards the end and then the results and outs in september. so that happened some kind of commentators conservative figure saying look, wait, let's have these hustings that have this argument 1st, then vote don't so jumped the gun, let them have their say. i think a lot of a fascinating august ahead let's, let's remind ourselves as you just did there. this is a contest among conservative party empties 1st and then conservative party members . it doesn't get anywhere near a proper public ballot. it's a contest that has been bitterly fought, that has revealed deep ideological differences among the big figures of the party, real personal animosity as well. it's arguably done damage to the tory brand that's not likely to change in the next 6 weeks. is it? this will be a very public and very tense fight. yeah, i mean,
6:07 pm
you saw they dropped the last of the televised debates early this week. i think most people thought because it was doing so much damage the party, one of the most striking things his labors attack had for it was just all the candidates talking to each other and attacking each other. but what's really nice spill in that the last debate which i was on i t v. wister. sooner and trust seemed to have the most personal animus they gave each candle, got to ask another question. they both chose each other. so i think you got a real sense that it was gonna be like, you say choir. nasty is the wrong word, but certainly a full throttle campaign in the month ahead. john, we saw in the last couple of hours, but as johnson giving his last session at the dispatch box in prime ministers, questions, questions over his legacy, the taint that he leaves behind on the party. it's the hope is that they are now electing a new prime minister who will turn the page on all of that rehabilitate the party and lead it to victory in the next election. how likely do you think that is now?
6:08 pm
well, if i were labor i wouldn't be getting ahead of myself. bear in mind the tories still have a very big majority. labor still have a lot of can cultural problems in those seats. they lost in the subjects at voting seats. the other thing say is that these are 2 continuity figures, and they've both been in the cabinet for, for a while. richardson i was, or assumptions number 2, but a lot the conserved his problems in the pulse. a tied very personally to boris johnson, much in the same as their victory was in 2019. so i think there is a case there any one, but morris could and hope to maybe win back some of those southern boats as who of abandon the party while retaining some of those northern motors that that strange coalition that they now have whether or not they have the kind of instinctive appeal he has for certain voters. so that's another question. so i'm, i wouldn't neither party will be counting their chickens at this stage. i think that's everything to playful label will be taking some comp comfort. in another opinion poll out in the last 24 hours suggesting that kia star mo, would win against any of the standing candidates this week. that will do them good
6:09 pm
. wanted. yeah, and it, they certainly are in a better place than they have been in recent years. it's amazing how this time, not even only 9 months ago, told me how secure of orest johnson is always, you know, people were talking about another decade in our face. these, these things change very quickly. i think kids will be feeling confident, but also well aware of just how big intellectual mountain to climb, and i don't think lisa clinic will be getting ahead of himself too quickly. okay. don't. let's leave it there. thanks very much. what an extraordinary day. a very decisive day in the context contest to elect a new leader, conservative party, and prime minister of this country. it is also the day of course, when the house of commons had the opportunity to say good bye, devoris johnson. his final appearance at the dispatch box back to you. thanks very much, jen. help force that in london. let's go to the days. other news now and a punishing european heat wave is fueling wall fast and stretching emergency services. spain's prime minister says the soaring temperatures have already led to
6:10 pm
the deaths of more than 500 people. and find fighters are struggling to contain a huge one of our bedding. just north of the greek capital athens. thousands of people have had to flee their homes. it follows more than a week of blazes across spain, france and portugal, which affords tens of thousands of people to evacuate dangerous robbie jones be now for one of the worst effected areas in the mora province in spain. and it just has been a very grim days a that's exactly right, while conditions here have improved. the fact is that there are more and more fire spreading in other parts of the country here in to borrower at the command and control center. and this is the central coordination hub for all air rescue activity for all ground operations being conducted in this part of spain in the northwest of the country. and what we're hearing from officials is that there is reason for optimism. a week ago or 2 weeks ago, there were dozens of fires burning all across the country just days ago. that
6:11 pm
number was 3720 of them out of control. just yesterday, there were 30 fires 20 of them out of control today that number has dropped to 16 and there's only 9 fires that officials say they're truly concerned about across the country. so certainly there is improvement. they are having some success. but that success comes after the days of dramatic and often desperate efforts to fight these fires the sound of salvation in the skies over northwest spain. right now, every drop of water math from these hilltops, it is clear the situation globe is dark on the ground. things are much worse, tomato is on fire. panic residents look for any help they can find. as the flames near, ah,
6:12 pm
with these wildfires comes chaos desperation. the animals she says are still inside trying to save their homes, their livestock, their livelihoods ever 2nd callous. ah . you know, 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 wild fires in real time. this is my 25 year. has it ever been this bad?
6:13 pm
and no, of course. absolutely no. there came a change. his very person. i'm busy question is related with that, right. we did wrote these fires have a pulse. the most danger firefighter say is the late afternoon, the hottest part of the day when the sun is highest and the winds are strong. this fires 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 can 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. people living here say everything can't aspire and you cannot
6:14 pm
trust the ground. now, even though things are improving, there isn't is inescapable ground reality. and that is the heat record temperatures going up every year during the summers in europe, spain's prime minister petro sanchez. and now it's just today, that heat wave related deaths in spain are now at $500.00. so that is a very big figure. and the fact is that the heat wave is likely to continue in the days to come in parts of spain in the central part of the country, closer to the capital madrid. some of those areas are seeing a worse wildfires yet and right now here and tomorrow we have been able to observe . there has been an observable uptake in the activity in the skies over these towers. there's been more helicopters in the air, more spotter planes. and we've seen more water bombing planes making rounds, trying to combat the dry conditions here. these are all reminders that even though things may be improving for now the wild fire season here in spain as far from over
6:15 pm
. same bas robbie, florida in zamora, spain, thank you. now thousands of people in greece of hunt to flee their homes as the fires burnett athens cruiser on the slopes of mount penn tele battling flames, which are being found by strong winds. at least 15 plains and 9 helicopters trying to douse those fires. 25 kilometers. ne of the greek capital dot tulsa jibari has bill from dorothy increase according to officials who we spoke to from the fire department. the main concern and the challenges they faced overnight was the high winds and the changing direction of the wind, which was helping the fires continue. and this now spread to the region, just about 10 minutes drive north of here, behind the mountains, behind me of the deli region and those flames continue as we speak. they are affecting nearly 30000 residents in that area in this town about 3500 residents were evacuated on tuesday afternoon. and as you can see,
6:16 pm
as there is very little activity going on right now, because it is still very much off limits to most of the residents, we have to ask for special permission to enter here and see what is the pause. what is the fire? the damage cause we also saw a number of homes that have been burnt in this town. now they are nearly 500 firefighters and about a 125 trucks that are in working in this area, trying to control the situation. this is of course, one of the many fires that have been ongoing since the start of the fire season, according to the governments that is as of may 1st until july 14th, they've recorded new 2500 wildfires in greece. and of course, the hardest weeks have not even approached that that is in august. so there is certainly a concern about what is to come yet in phones more than $20000.00 heck. tears of land have been burned and present him and we're macro is in la test abuse sion,
6:17 pm
janet and region meeting firefighters and thanking them for their work. they've been frustrated by scorching temperatures and strong dry winds as they battled to separate fires near bordeaux. well, plenty more had here all the out is there, a news are including to lancaster parliament to lex, ronelle were crime, a singer as president as a political and economic crisis continues. and italy's prime minister tries to salvage his coalition government after it was pushed to the brink of collapse. electrons bought a shot with or in the 1500 meters of the world, athletics. trumpeters. ah, the other european commission is asking member states to cut back gas consumption by 15 percent to prepare for a possible cut off of russian energy supply. that old stream one pipeline which carries gas from russia to germany is scheduled to come back online after
6:18 pm
maintenance on thursday. but they're off is it may not in retaliation for european sanctions against russia. russia is black mailing us. russia is using energy as a weapon. and therefore, in any way event, whether it's a partial major cut off of russian gas or total cut off of russian gas, europe needs to be ready. we are asking the member states to reduce fight 15 percent, the gas consumption. 15 percent. why this is the equivalent to 45 b, c. m of gas. and with such a reduction, we can make it safely through this winter in case of a complete disruption of lashley gas. without rebuttals or correspondent live for us in paris, following events for it. it doesn't really come much more stark of them that does it from a level de leon. yes,
6:19 pm
the head of the commission, ready assuring of a stock a warning to you meant the states effectively saying that unless the block shows up its gas supplies, then it could face a very a difficult winter. indeed. you heard? oh, so want elaine there, mapping out why that would be the case that basically russia that supplies just over 30 percent of gas to the european union could consider cutting it supplies either totally or partially vote lion saying that russia is blackmailing the european union. that it is weapon, ising gas supplies. there any disruption to that gas supply or would be devastating as says ursula borderline for the, for industries, for the public, for consumers and basses. why she is saying it is very important that they, you tries to protect its own gas supplies, build them up if you like. because if not, some countries that rely very heavily on russian gas, for example, hungry, the czech republic could really
6:20 pm
a suffer very greatly if those supplies were lost. and of course of the issue really, as you say, is about the consumer using gas. the business user also using gas and capacity by the member states to be able to store gas because if gas is cut off, i believe within the european union, there is an agreement that one country helps another when in need. well that's the idea that certainly what the head of the commission is promoting. she is saying that we all need to help each other if we are facing huge energy crisis, particularly in the winter months. and that is why the commission is proposing that member states try and reduce their gas supply by 15 percent, or between the months of august and march to get through that winter period that would help or reduce any impact or disruption on gas supplies. should russia, for example, a cut or reduce a it's gas supplies a to the a you? now this would be on a voluntary basis, says the commission,
6:21 pm
but they would look at the possibility of making these reductions at mandatory if there was a real energy, emergent emergency. now there has been some reaction to this proposal. some e u business leaders are saying, well, this is something that would be to never say seeing in terms of the impact on industry to make these gas carts. we've also heard from some member states including a poland. poland says look, we've got 98 percent of our gas storage filled, so we don't really need to look a reductions and that would impact on our economy. so certainly not something that's going to be very easy. it's not an easy ask on behalf of the commission, but the same time what the commission is saying is if we don't do that, we'll all be in trouble. and we'll supposed to be collectively looking after each other that as a buffalo for us there in paris, thanks latasha. let's take a closer look now at what's at stake because before the war, russia supplied 40 percent of europe's gas supply. replacing that just before the winter is practically impossible, according to some experts supplemented by shipments of ellen g from the u. s.
6:22 pm
european storage caverns are about sort of 60 percent full. now the target is 80 percent before winter sets in for that might be difficult if the north stream on pipeline doesn't come back on line. you says if they're fully cut off from russian gas and the winter is cold, it could her e u member states. now g d p by 1.5 percent on average could be cut germany and italy stand to hurt the most. that's get lawless and been our sees the founder and editor of in tele, new jersey. i live from berlin. mr. iris could help you with this when the european do tool contingency plans should be made well ahead of winter in your opinion, and in your knowledge of the way it's all set up across europe in terms of acquisition and storage water, they really talking about what's realistic this is a contingency plan, and what the afraid of is the rush is going to not restart the stream one pipeline,
6:23 pm
which is to come back online tomorrow. and already in june, gas from the russian state gas company had already reduced the flows through no stream one to year by 60 percent. and there's a scramble going on now as your corresponding reports to fill the gas tanks for november 1st, where you said that that needs to be 80 percent full. and you know, stream one time doesn't come back on the line then it's going to be extremely difficult. and already last year was the 1st year we started to win. so without those tanks being 80 percent, they were any, it's 77 percent. but even back small short for cause the huge gas prices and prices despite. and it's just not clear at this point where the pipeline is going to come back online. and if you did, even at the reduce for 40 percent, then that would probably enough to get to november. the 1st with 80 percent of tanks, full lines talking about here is possibility of gas not being assumed. and then as
6:24 pm
contingency plans, make sure that europe can get through the wind, because without that gas, there's going to be a huge energy crisis. industry will have to cut production, that people will be forced to turn the thermostat down several degrees. and in prices would spike even further than they did last year, and they were already up 20 percent last year. i mean, the impact is as far as you perhaps imagine, i mean the move, as you mentioned, just hit the economy, a different rates and to different states at different times. so huge things going to be affected the most. and when indeed, the reliance on russian guys is, is very, very across europe. i see a fan to whoever's living on what was the border then the most exposed hungry check for public love act. and italy are in the firing line here. and they're very
6:25 pm
dependent on russian gas, and if it doesn't stand up huge problem, germany also is dependent, but not quite as badly. i'm as a report yesterday saying in the events of russia cutting off all gas than you would see 6 the same contractions in the most exposed countries. 6, the st. crash, the contraction is a crash. that's an economic crisis of the 1st order, and even germany would say 2 to 3 percent contraction, which is also a very painful crisis. and this is why live in coming up with this plan to try and get people to conserve gas. because if you look at the gas mass, then russia spends about 155 cubic meters year of every year. and this 15 percent represents 45000000 cubic meters, saving the same at 55 stream sense. so you would replace the stream with the saving is meant to work. i mean, the statistics are mind boggling, but then indeed,
6:26 pm
while oil from russia will be banned by the end of $22270.00. the gas is problematic. as we've discussed. and, and kat off, for example, was approached by the united kingdom, which is mean the, you earlier, the ship embarrassed johnson host to the media to talk about, you know, bringing more l n g over to the u. k. the e, with any just signed in the last few days in agreement with us by john, about increasing its gas supply to the e. u. i mean the, all the right moves and all the right noises. but can they actually help before the end of 2022? no, there's not enough time for this year. i'm discuss. crisis has to be dealt with what they're talking about now, which is the savings. and there's also still talk about extending the lives of the german nuclear power stations, which can probably get through so much and help and restarting ho, fire gas station, power stations. but in terms of guess the, the about on deal would increase by only 10000000 cubic meters,
6:27 pm
which is a drop in the bucket. i mean it's less than 10 percent of what's needed and that can be put into place until next year anyway. and with that n g, the maximum because of the capacity limits at the terminals, the maximum energy can supplies 15 percent of europe needs. and she is not announced either in germany here, russia to build new terminals. but even that one solve the problem, the longer term solutions of looking to jerry, africa, supplies to central asia, gas b and c countries for supplies. all of that stuff will start to make a difference, but only next year because we have an imminent. so you have to solve now, sorry, sorry, but it'll pop in. i would just want to ask you about the politics of us a by john, i find this very interesting in the fact that it is a and i, a long term. i like russia finding an agreement with forgot sales to the just seems sort of incomprehensible without the agreement to the note of moscow considering
6:28 pm
the sort of geo politics. right now, i'm presuming to the buck who lost have looked to moscow before they signed that deal with the you. to find a strange one is, is a lot less dependent on russia than some of the other countries. and all of those countries in the book says they're all and in central asia to that they're trying to navigate between the interest, the geopolitical interest of the big boys, pressure on one side, the west stays on the other side and has the advantage of being a big one and gas producers and so in that sense it's financially independent from moscow. it gets most of its weapons from, from the trade is extremely important. relations are old and close. but we've seen that recently with the guys where the president sit on stage with boots in last 2 weeks ago and told them we don't recognize the breakaway republics and dumbass, which was a real slap in the face. and what they're trying to do is distance. and so someone
6:29 pm
from russia in order to keep their relationships with the west. and i think here we see the same thing going on. back to retain is good relationships with deep and long standing trade relations. but at the same time, the only if the president, secondly june, and see to do a favor to, to your advice. finally section. and as i said, it's not a game changer must go except instead of extra gas that have extra money for back to. but it's not going to change their power, their leverage over europe by replacing much yes. interesting time for my been our thanks so much for joining us from ballad. well, still had here all al jazeera, an energy crisis in bangladesh force is the government to take drastic action plus will tell you why this award winning iranian filmmaker is basic 60 a jail sentence. and it support we catch up with the funds. and so they go, national team prepares for the upcoming wells comp. those stories to the right
6:30 pm
ah and the cloud often promises more than it gives and here is the cloud from the last 1824 hours or so. and it's suggest sharon, likely, later on the day and even tomorrow than the mountains of yemen, but nothing much else that probably is right. the breeze that catches his part of a man has now certainly picked up the account is now overcast. it's a lot of nice little enclave, it'll be drizzly and green here and which is completely different everywhere else, where you might even spot a temperature forecast of 50 in baghdad. wouldn't seen that last year as a forecast know the year before, but everything is creeping up slowly. the heat in iran's mostly not so bad, but again come off the and since and towards the board of the rock and we touching 50 here as well. the breeze is not that strong, little bit of a hit, maybe a re add of a, of a dust storm, or least dust in the air. otherwise, things change
