1:03 pm
a hole in london. it spin, jonah, a bruising 7 week election campaign for the conservative party. finally, they'll have an leader in the next. you are in the next hour or so. talk to us about how things are going to unfold. exactly. but in the next hour and a half or so. finally, we expect to hear an announcement telling us the result of the vote among conservative party members and estimated 160000 of them who will have made the decision about who they want to be. the next leader of their party, and that person, of course, will go on on tuesday to become the next prime minister, succeeding boris johnson. after his resignation on july, the 7th and taking on absolutely formidable in tre, skyrocketing energy prices, spiraling inflation and economy almost certainly already in recession and of course, the war in ukraine lease trust favored to win. but richie sue, not the former chancellor, not counted up yet. let me bring in my guest poll,
1:04 pm
patrick diamond, i beg your pardon is a professor of public policy it we'd marry university in london, formerly a staff member number 10, downing street under labor prime minister, tony blair and gordon brown. thanks for joining us. labor prime ministers, they were of course, but some similarities in terms of the enormous political transition of power between them and the huge economic crisis. gordon brown faced in office. i wanted to talk about that 1st. this new prime minister trust that faces some pretty enormous problems in that right. they certainly do. i think the similarities between trust and brown, very interesting not least because by brown and trust done major jobs in cabinet before becoming prime minister gordon brown. i've been trying to extract this trust has been foreign secretary, but what they're about to discover what their trust is about to discover is just how much more difficult the job of being prime minister. in particular, the context. he just describes economic chaos and pending recession wise completion . so we already see differences the way in the potential approach. i mean,
1:05 pm
we must assume isn't entirely counted up between ratios soon unless trust richie, so not quite clear. it seems about this crisis warning that no government can fix these problems entirely. they can only help on the telling the public they can of giving that impression is wrong. this trust. by contrast, a bit more sort of booster ish rather like. or is johnson saying this country has been through worse before? it can deal with it? right, well, we'll find out what you said in an hour and a half. he's right in the sense that when the leadership election, it looks as if richie sen, ac has gone for the very responsible economic narrative in the campaign of spelling out difficult choices that mike had called just to tax cuts on the when it's a very difficult context. the big inherited, where is the course they trust us don't provide populists with traditional tory message about tax cuts, less regulation and more competitive economy now, but to be very effective in the leadership, right? the question for this process, country sustain and government,
1:06 pm
given all the pressures that she's about to confront. so well, the economists say, if, as we assume, as the case is trust when she's promised a massive package of support within a week on the cost of living. but also the tax cuts deregulation in a months time a new so the budget to try and boost the economy. the economists to say that risks simply worsening inflation. yeah, the argument you can cut taxes in the current environment is one, the economist point very difficult because the risk is that you stay inflation effects already in play in the economy. think the pounds for trust strike is, but she knows that she needs to be something on tax cuts because that was the key message, hopefully she campaign on. but she also knows that she faces enormous pressures to put in place a fairly wide ranging package to help households across economy with the rising energy cost without confronting so how she could swear the circle. of course, quasi qua, tang is predicted, makes thompson work closely together. no doubt how they result. um, i think will be key to success of the premiership. and of course,
1:07 pm

1:31 pm
summit on tackling the effects of climate change on the african continent is underway in rotterdam, in the netherlands. african leaders along with officials from the u. n. e u and international monetary fund are attending. they're looking to find ways to invest tens of billions of dollars by 2025 to combat food shortages, create jobs and increase development. now, climate change is literally changing the landscape of liberia. widespread erosion is making life difficult for communities living on the coastline, has called life to al jazeera nicholas hark, who joins us from monrovia, the capital. tell us, nick, how climate change is already affecting the lives of people where you are role fully. we're just barely one meter above sea level. that's the level at which monrovia is. and i just want to show you earlier on we were just on this beach how quickly the water is moving forward. it's really, in a matter of just a few hours has stepped forward and in a couple of hours it will
1:32 pm
a hit these homes that look at what is left of people's homes here were in the jazz k neighborhood in downtown monrovia, these home were destroyed, not years ago were decades ago, this was this summer. people are literally losing their homes to climate change. now fully, these are people's entire lives that have been pushed away and now they live in the back of the flood. but it's just a matter of time before these houses are disappeared and taken over by the ocean, and then they have to be displaced again, people throughout the coast of west africa or on the move, there's been torrential, rain. people have been flooded. hundreds of thousands of people are displayed as we speak. and what's happening fully. it's not just people's home historic sites. there are a number of unesco heritage sites along the 300000 coastline of the atlantic
1:33 pm
in africa in the north, but also in the west. and also here in liberia. take a look at our report. providence island holds the promise of the past yet to be discovered 200 years ago. fried american slaves settled here and founded liberia. we visited the island in october 2021. look at it now. the island appears to be shrinking with the rising tide. a window into the past is disappearing, says young lebaron archaeologist for day is our painful because this coronets our histories, the area is no threat in that. in that who yes, there what all will or body and tie up is thereby erasing the entire historical site of the republic. in the summer liberian and american archaeologist excavated parts of the island. they found ceramics from ships from the caribbean, the america in europe, but also further afield. their findings brought more questions than answers. on the
1:34 pm
other side of the atlantic, american archaeologist met riley says it is in just parts of liberian history, but american history is well being lost to the rising water. just about a meter below the surface, you're encountering a water table, artifacts that were already being absorbed into the riverbed system. and as the water table continues to rise, these archaeological deposits are at risk of being destroyed, losing the archaeological integrity of these very significant sites before we even have a chance to study them. and that goes for many of those significant heritage sites across the corso region. all 19th century sites that were settled by free african americans, which represent an unparalleled type of story in the history of the african diaspora. almost 800000 people across west africa are displaced because of ongoing torrential, rains and floods. monrovia is barely a meter above sea level. with the rising ocean, the slums are sinking and so are the historical sites. on providence island
1:35 pm
archeologist found the remains of vessels artifacts and settlements. but look at it now. it is for them race against the ty to dig in, retrieve what they can, because an important chapter of human history is disappearing as we speak for young archaeologists. full day there is a sinking feeling of grief, too ill and lost to seeing his roots. his identity vanish in the water. nicholas hawk al jazeera, providence island, liberia. so so, nick, what are the hopes, an expectation for people in the barrier from this climate conference that is currently underway in their plans? well, liberians are just having to deal with the full front effect of climate change. governments want more money so that people here can adapt to climate change. but in the meantime,
1:36 pm
people are taking the mattress in their own hands. i just want to show you what people are doing. they're putting sound bags just like you can see it here to direct your protect, whatever they have. but the sandbags are no match to. the full force of the ocean were in that j. f. k neighborhood. and in fact, this district was as far as those ways where are breaking. so you can see this destruction happen fully in a matter of not decades. but in a matter of years, it has shrunk. monrovia is losing its coastal area, it's really rate against time. and what's particularly tragic for people here wrap to move further inland is that their carbon emission is a fraction of the ones of polluting countries. liberia has one of the biggest forests in west africa. it is the lungs of this region. and so, governments that are in rotterdam right now,
1:37 pm
presidents and have the states want that to be considered that people were polluting countries pay for the pollution, but also pay for those lungs that are being preserved. because if those longs are not preserved and the forest is destroyed, the ocean is eating the coast, leaving librarians to have to flee this increasingly uncomfortable environment. and what happens is people my great the, my grid to europe or further field to find a safer place to live fully. thank you very much for that. nicholas hoc reporting there live from liberia 9 months after sounding on the alarm, the un humanitarian chief is wanting of famine in parts of somalia. extreme drought caused by years of failed reigns as this place more than 1000000 people. more than 3000000 animals essentials to some ideas, partial communities had died. crop production has substantially drops. let's return to kenya now where the supreme court has been ruling on the result of the
1:38 pm
presidential election, the dispute presidential election. let's bring in malcolm web a nairobi, i believe we have a decision now from the supreme court on, on the victory of, of william router kenya's, chief justice martha co may as announced the court that the 7 supreme court judges unanimously agreed to uphold the announcement of the electoral commission of william the president elect, of kenya he went through, she went through the petitions submitted by its main opponent while we're doing and other rights groups and rejected all of the complaints. so i think that there was inadequate evidence and other reasons, and that the court didn't have a reason to nullify the election as it had done 5 years ago, when riley were doing a filed a petition. and the same supreme court overturned the election in order to rebut,
1:39 pm
on this occasion, it has no waiting to find out what the reaction will be, right, of supporters of retail and broiler. but both of the leaders have said that they will respect the judgment. that is coming here from the court just to recap for our viewers who are just joining us now on this new voc. malcolm can yes, supreme court has a pound. the august 90 election, victory of william router rejecting all the challenges that had been made by his opponent, veteran, politician, rayleigh, dean, gas, this decision just happening in the last few minutes in the kenyan capital nairobi . so is this now as far as this election is concerned? william roto is officially the next president of kenya. we'd expect, according to the constitution, william rotate to be sworn in as president sometime next week. and both router and
1:40 pm
royal had said that they would respect the decision of the court. will probably hear from them both in the coming hours, but yeah, it was nearly 4 weeks ago that kenyans voted about 3 weeks ago that that result was announced. the electoral commission announced william rita, the winner by a narrow margin. and in 2 weeks ago that writer were doing a came here, submitted a petition, it was one of several petitions submitted here, the court by rights groups. and the legal process is going on over the last 2 weeks . you've just had that ruling now. and the court said it's not ordering a re run to the election, and that is holding the result. as you say, a malcolm. both right. loading guy and william roto had said they would accept the decision of the supreme court. the question now is of course, whether they're supporters, especially right loud in supporters will also accept this decision.
1:41 pm
