2:04 pm
currently country is currently toiling. as you said, spiraling levels of inflation, skyrocketing, energy prices and economy already almost certainly in recession, public services on the brink. and of course, the white canvas, the war in ukraine with russia, as you say, a very long and costly to do less for the incoming prime minister. what do you think is going to be the biggest priority? well, the 1st thing we'll hear from the new prime minister within about 24 hours or so is the announcement of a cabinet. and a cabinet administers that will indicate immediately whether these person is likely to be unified within the party or not. and already the reported picks of this trust suggest that she figured very much of the right of the party will not end up with a cabinet of unity. that they will need a course to in the next election, but far more pressing as far as the wider. electra is concerned outside of this tiny sliver of conservative party members. are these economic problems we've heard
2:05 pm
from richie sue? not much more clear eyed on the economy as a former chance would be expected to be suggesting he would offer help to those who need it. most very quickly, but warning that no government can get to grips with all of these problems and suggesting that he can is simply wrong when he's trust slightly more booster is perhaps rather like forest johnson suggesting britain has been through worse before and can deal with it she's promised a package of support within a week then going on to tax cuts and deregulation to try and boost the economy. well, that is something that many economists have warned. could simply make inflation worse. okay, good to speak to john hall there for us in london will be returning to joanna in about half an hour's time when that announcement is due to be made. let's go to, i've got install now where there's been a suicide attack near the russian embassy in kabul, the russian foreign ministry has said the 2 embassy staff work killed in the attack
2:06 pm
. the boma detonated explosives near the entrance to the building in the south west and part of the capital. now witness to say, people were lined up outside the diplomatic compound at the time, and as many as 15 others were injured. now months off, the sounding the alarm, the un monetary in chief is warning a famine in parts of somalia. extreme drought caused by use of failed rains has displaced more than 1000000 people. all the 3000000 animals essential to somali as hostile communities have died. and crop production has substantially dropped early i spoke with the un released chief officer, griffin who's been visiting display somalis in camps. he began by telling me his experience on the ground we were in by dough, which is likely to be the center of time. and if that happens the other day and we,
2:07 pm
we went to the hospital in that town which is the capital of south west state of somalia. and we saw the most terrible sights of children severely acutely malnourished with mother or father or both. they will, for days and days and days to get the worrying. thing was that we were seeing those who perhaps were better off the ones we was being able to see. we are having great difficulty reaching the places from which people walk. this is one of the things that is absolutely necessary. we're calling today to allow humana an agency safe access to those places. so called hop to reach. we need to know the extent of the suffering and the need and the stress in those areas. because to day 5 and review committee is warning that we have one last us to have that happen in the areas that
2:08 pm
i've been talking about. you say in a recent tweet, i saw a baby's too weak to cry and mothers who are still children themselves. the silence of the international community is deafening. what did you mean by that? in this is climate change which has driven this. this crisis that we see those children suffering from climate change, which is not that day time changes just frankly not some money as for drought, for seasons have failed to produce rains. we anticipate a 5th is going to fail later this year. we believe a 6 will fail early next year. that is unprecedented, even in somalia and somalia has had as you know, terrible tragic experiences even in recent as we need help to help the people, somalia, we are also noticing and observing through the wealth food program that the food supply systems in somalia,
2:09 pm
beginning to alter that food availability is simply reducing, we want the world to observe, to listen and to contribute to. and many, many governments has united states government recently very generously gave money to the humana response program. we need more and we're going to need more through the next year. i guess the question is, when we've seen as you say 5 rainy season fail, the next one expected to fail as well. 1 and we acknowledge climate change is having a role in this, is it enough to just keep helping people from crisis to crisis or do we need another solution? i mean, i think that's a really, really important question, a life saving, which is the core of the humanitarian business is what we have to do today. and some other no question about that. we need to save lives lives which are at great risk, but or, and we need to invest in alternative livelihood. so many of the pastoralists family
2:10 pm
is generations of living off their lifestyle. have no more animals, they have lost their livestock sold or died from the drought. and the likelihood of further droughts will mean that they won't be able to pursue that way of life if they have had the generation. so what we're seeing threatened to the horn of africa as well as elsewhere, but particularly here in the own is a way of life is under threat. and that means we need to invest in people for an alternative. i was just reading about an a food aid truck that was targeted just very recently where all the food aid was destroyed as a result of that attack. how do you tackle something like that? insecurity in somalia makes it difficult to get humanitarian agencies into the communities where they live before they move where they live to deliver services. so that's what we need to do. so we're looking at local partners,
2:11 pm
somali organizations as usual in the front line, the 1st responders in any metric, isis, somali organizations who will help us understand how to help communities, where they are. when people move, whether it's in somalia or ukraine or any other part of the world when they move, we've already lost many opportunities to help them survive. we need to get to them before they need to move, and we need to build services back even even in communities which are under occupational, the control alarm groups, even that we do this in many of us, we need to do in griffin. now kenya, supreme court has upheld william retail when in last month presidential election. his opponent, veteran politician rollo didn't challenge the result, claiming that the vote was rigs, but the court has now thrown out. all of his allegations,

2:29 pm
you know, trying to help us. so we can see of have i have the life and maintain on a daily basis. and my home, the water is run a very slowly, it's our most into agent in the entire city of jackson, you know, just not one individual. and i blame of the the city council, the governor and the mayor because they're all in confusion. and no one seemed to know how to solve the problem. fema, the federal emergency agency. it's working to end the crisis. inspectors toward this water plant where heavy rains overwhelmed the cities, aging infrastructure. they're hoping to speed up repair work, but play down expectations of a quick return to normality. yeah, i think it's still too early to tell dana, i think that having e p a in the army corps of engineers, we had a really good conversation on friday about what it's going to take in the assessments that they're doing. the longer term in the mid term about how long it's going to take to actually make it safe to drink. i think that we have a lot more to learn about what it's going to take to get that plan up and running
