who will submit his resignation to the queen on tuesday. now the new prime minister inherits a raft of challenges including energy shortages and rising inflation. let's go straight to correspondence and how his life for us in london, china, it has been a difficult time for the tory party, of course, during a very challenging time for the country. give us some of the background and also how we expect things to unfold today. well, that's right, it's been almost a 2 month period now of nailed by high drama political transition from the old prime minister towards the new prime minister. and we are almost there. it began, of course, on july, the 7th with the resignation of boris johnson off the back of the social party gates of ferry, legal gatherings in downing street and government offices during periods of lockdown. that setting train a leadership contest, fitting candidates from all factions of a divided party against one another,
10:03 am
culminating in this 6 week race between richie su, not a former chancellor. at least trust the foreign secretary trying to win the votes of a 160000. also conservative party members list trust, as you said, the favorites to have won a majority there and we will in a few hours time. no the result of that tiny sliver of the electorate. as it proclaims, the conservative parties next leader who will go to be the prime minister on tuesday, succeeding bodies. johnson after meeting the queen and that individual trust, all soon act will inherit the reigns, not just of this divided party that is deposed. it's past 3 leaders over the course of the last 60 years, but much more importantly of course, of a country in the throes of a whole series of very deep crises from skyrocketing household energy prices to i, water levels of inflation. a cost of living crisis in the context of an economy almost certainly already. recession faltering public services. and of course,
10:04 am
the wider context. a war on europe's doorstep with russia in ukraine. it is a formidable to do list, as i say, a lot to do a lot of expectation from the new p. m. do we have an inkling at all of policies from her or him when they get into office? well, undoubtedly, priority number one for either will be to get to grips very, very quickly indeed with this series of deep down domestic problems, inflation predicted to hit 20 percent by the end of the year household energy prices, gas, and electricity that could be by january next year 3 times, what they were just a year ago, strikes across public services are struggling health services. one and 8 britons are currently on an h. s. waiting list. and of course, winter is coming when many people will struggle to pay their heating bills will
10:05 am
struggle in the to eat and may have to choose between the 2. it is a grim context, which richie soon acts as made. no bones about his called it a genuine emergency, his warned of rationing and possible blackouts this trust says she will produce a package of support within a month and in her acceptance speech. if indeed it goes ahead later, she is expected to say that hard decisions will have to be made, not all of them popular, but she promises to be honest about what is required and it is that issue, of course, honesty, the forest johnson still the current prime minister has frequently been charged with not big china really get to speak to you. jenny hall there for us in london will be speaking to j. jenna. throughout the morning at that announcement expected to come through at 1130 g m t. we will of course, be covering it here on out there. now, kenny, a supreme court his g to deliver a verdict on a challenge to last month's disputed presidential election. william router was
10:06 am
declared the winner by a narrow margin at his opponent, veteran politician, rollo. dingo said the vote was rigged. catherine sawyer has more from nairobi. madam chief justice madam deputy chief of these judges at kenya's supreme court have a difficult decision to make. if we look at the number of the polling stations there been hearing a presidential election case that has been disputed. president elect william mucho was declared winner of last month. paul, his opponent ry lo dingo came 2nd. a dingle saved the election was reeked or the heart of the case is a role played by an increasingly divided electoral commission for its commissioners have rejected the results. the others, including the chair of the commission off will actual katie accused their colleagues of trying to force or run off. we'll see them being divided on an
10:07 am
issue that the entire all the commission on a was a managing is really surprising and he's very, ah scare even to some extent because we are talking about a country to of yellow going to war because of elections. this is not the 1st time that kenya is going through a hotly contested judicial process. after our national paul, the presidential election was nearly 5 in 2017, for the 1st time in africa. jar dis said the pol was mud by irregularities. some can you say this time the stakes are much higher opinion outside the courtroom is divided. misinformation is rife and those who are trying to get a sense of what is happening. say they are overwhelmed. we're looking at twitter on facebook, on whatsapp, on instagram tick tock. all these platforms were, are wash with a lot of our false information. and we see this because the institutions that are
10:08 am
charged with giving kenyans regular updates or credible information. we're taking a step back, a group calling itself the p ports. parliament has also been monetary. what's going on in st. horner verdict on, but even day saying they are polarize their debates, are based on which political side they support. one thing is clear. you want our court to dispense nothing but justice, go more. so prim. got the medical knowledge right? if the supreme court is going to nullify i am telling william toe, we already shall, we should vote you in again. many can say they just want to know the truth on it. oh, no matter which way. the court rules. catherine saw al jazeera nairobi, a sketch, our corresponding markham web, whose live for us in nairobi, malcolm. so when are we actually expected to hear from the court today?
10:09 am
and do we have any inkling at all how it's going to go when they made an announcement short while ago, from the supreme court in about 2 hours from now, we can expect the ruling. the constitution says the judges have to give a summary judgement within 2 weeks of the petitions being filed. that deadline is today well, that the full judgement might follow later. we don't know which way they're going to rule. it's possible that they can uphold the results of the election as it was announced william routes or the deputy president was announced by a narrow margin, hatton, he would be sworn in. and just over a week or on the other hand, if the election is nullified as it was 5 years ago, the constitution says that the next election, the rebuttal has to take place within 2 months. but it's not clear how that could actually proceed with the election commission. so divided as it currently is.
10:10 am
another big question is if the supreme court will continue to show or a certain kind of independence that it has in recent years. that nullification 5 years ago, as we just saw in katherine story. the, the 1st ever in africa in kenya supreme court has, in recent years, made several decisions where it's deviated from the establishment. it's being quite bold and ready to be independent. so everyone here waiting to see which way it's going to rule will find out when the judges speak in here in just a couple of hours from now. and welcome. if the, if the court does find against the opposition leader, right, i didn't. how do we think he and his supporters are going to react versus riley dinger is. he's been in opposition for very many years. but there's been a twist of allegiances in politics, even kenya, this time, he's backed by his long time arch rival,
10:11 am
the outgoing president who kenyata. so it's not, in not sense entirely clear if, if he did not sense can be described as opposition or, or in fact, the establishment william roots is main opponent, of course, also has massive ties to the establishment by virtue of being the deputy president for the last 9 years, but certainly the ruling upholds the result would favor route. so we could expect to see celebrations in his strongholds, possibly expressions of anger from riders and vice versa, if the result is overturned, but it depends very much on what political leaders say in both leaders. have said that they will respect the ruling of the course and if they stick to that line and the certainly isn't any sign that we'd see anything like the kind of violence that took place 15 years ago following can use of action when more than a 1000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands were displaced. okay,
10:12 am
thank you for that update malcolm website for us in nairobi of his been violence between demonstrators and police in chile after a proposed new constitution was rejected in a referendum. supporters of the new text expressed the anger of the votes, while police responded with water cannon. the proposed constitution was due to replace the one drawn up during the military dictatorship in the 1980s. a latin american absolutely. in human reports, from santiago opponents of chiles, new proposed constitution never dreamed they'd wind sundays referendum by such a wide margin. some toasted the victory. others hunk their horns. convinced that the charter would have fan divisions and instability. you're looking at my toyota for marketing. i think the majority of us once a new constitution and that must be respected. oh yeah. but it has to be done properly
10:13 am
. capable of people who are persona, supporters of the proposed text insisted was progressive and cutting edge. it guaranteed gender parity, social rights to all allowed abortion and protection of the environment. yet many others believe it went too far. for instance, by recognizing chilling indigenous groups as individual nations. some people, even from the front, the left that are voting right, tasser or rejection of this texas because they fear that this, that the, that taylor would be dismembered and somehow voted in this referendum was mandatory . but that's not the only reason why this vote will likely be remembered as the one of the highest citizen participation in trillion history so far. it's an indication of just how much chileans believe that a new constitution has the possibility of changing their lives for better or for worse. humbled by the little defeat left wing president government,
10:14 am
but each acknowledged that the proposal had supported was not what the people wanted. it to make on palmetto up on it for me, but i promise that i will do all i can together with congress and members of civil society to present a new constitutional calendar using the lessons of this process to deliver a new text that will interpret the will of the people in the referendum has delta strong blow to the president, whom many blame for a rise in inflation and crime people such as cecilia who voted against the constitution? normally though yes, if you said annually, it will be honest. i did not dreaded by the reaction. now the process starts all over again, prolonging uncertainty in the country that need social and economic change, but can't agree on how much to see in human al jazeera santiago,
