5:05 pm
that was, that was that he wished all the best, but that the rules in the race had changed midway through you there a reference to the stab he had in the back from other members of the conservative party in getting rid of him. but of course, those rules, the rules that were engaged, particularly of a party gate rules he broke and really that led to his downfall. but the situation here right now is one of the anticipation of the 4th, a prime minister in only 6 years. so. so a lot, a lot of turnaround in terms of politics and at this time round a massive question mark over the, the cuts in taxes that this prime minister is going to make and how she will cope with a whole raft of measures the recasting billions and billions of dollars, how she can do it without having to do you turns on trying to save money. hopefully we'll be getting financing. thank you for that. andrew simmons that for us at

5:07 pm
biggest fishing port in the world. now it's at the center of sea food processing and the offshore wind industry, but poverty levels remain high in some parts of the town. at the last general election force, johnson led the conservatives to power and that when saw the party tight territory which had been held by labor like this one for decades, nearly 3 years on this is the reality for some people queuing for essentials, such as one of grimsby spook banks right now, westminster feels a long way from here. i think we do need to a little bit more government support in keeping the economy to a level where people can afford to buy their own food. this was only a food bank is only meant to give temporary aid to individuals. but what's happening is we get more and more individuals that come in on a weekend week out basis. lis trust has promised to lift the economy and tackle the
5:08 pm
energy crisis, shall also need to build trust in people who are the backbone of british business. i want to vote for a just for the, for the i kind of gave up on the politics of games rigged. and i don't think any of the pies can get a handle on what's going on at the moment. it's been such a small choice time that i don't think anybody has the answers. finding those answers won't be easy. as the u. k. battles, record inflation and the worst energy crisis in decades. emma haywood al jazeera in northern england, or flooding is expected in southern pakistan as excess water from the country's largest lake. as being released, engineers have come through the embankments of lake manchester to dive in. the water villages which are home to more than 100000 people lying its path in other provinces, several areas remain cut off. and this threat from disease from stagnant water come,

5:13 pm
we'll die of hunger, hungary here or hungry there. at least here they say in whatever remains of their home, they still have their dignity. it is a decision that isn't taken lightly. they are aware of their circumstances. there are sick and injured among them and they know on more water, more rain is coming up. standing here, it really feels like you're looking out at a see. but those are flood waters and they have devastated the houses in this village. the destruction the debris, it all really speaks for itself. now there were about a 1000 people living in this village before the floods before the monsoons. now there's only about a 100, mostly men, the elderly, and a few children. and they're here to take care of what little property they have left. as we leave, our boat gets stuck on the roof of a house. a man swims across to help push us out of
5:14 pm
the floods may have taken their lives and property, but not their need to take care of each other. in basra, the oldest era, the other districts in pakistan. the you, a nuclear watchdog says a backup line supply. ukraine's operation nuclear power plant has been deliberately disconnected from the grid to extinguish a fire. international atomic energy agency says the connection has not been damaged . ukrainian staff operating the facility, say it will be we connected was the fire has been extinguished. facility is controlled by russian forces. all main lines were lost earlier in the conflict. with these upper is your plans is near the city of ana huda in south ukraine. it has 6 reactors, and it usually generates nearly half if you crazed nuclear power. the months of attacks heightened the risk of damaging the plant electricity grid. radioactive material could be released if the plants cooling system fails with an reliable
5:15 pm
backup generators. now, under the worst case scenario, explosions could also destroy the poems cycled react containment structure. that would allow high radiation levels to skate into the atmosphere, making ne bye areas dangerous to live in for decades to come. ukrainian officials say they have regain control in a village in the casts on region video obtained i the reuters news agency appears to show the ukranian flag at the entrance of a building in vasa capella, president of the law domains. lensky says, progress is being made in the battle for the southern region and a pro kremlin official in the areas as plans for referendum on the coasts, on region joining russia on hold because of the security situation. now european countries have been scrambling to respond to surgeon gas prices after russia shut down a key pipeline to europe. e energy ministers is set to discuss possible price caps
5:16 pm
for russian gas during a meeting on friday. meanwhile, the french president emanuel macro is urging every household to limit its use of gas and electricity. gemini also said on monday that it will keep tiff it's remaining nuclear power stations on standby, as it tries to, whether the energy crisis as gay to dominate cane, who is in berlin for us, dominic. so let's start with some of the developments over the course. this afternoon, i mean we had from spain's energy minister saying that the e is now looking at these possible price caps for russian gas, which in theory would put pressure on russia. but there is a risk with that, isn't there. in theory, the idea of capping the amount of money on the gas being delivered via from russia via ellen, g, or by pipeline might be perceived as increasing the pressure on russia. it's
5:17 pm
relevant. and so far as the spanish context is concerned, because spain says that it has its volume of l. n. g, that's liquefied natural gas i delivered by ship from russia has increased over the course of the summer. so the suggestion that a cap will be placed on the price of that gas mice, in theory, as you say, involve some risk for russia. but it might also involve some risk for spain and with the european union, because they're all looking this be clear of our says all sorts of different european governments and the usa institutions themselves are looking for ways to reduce their dependency on russian gas. so perhaps it might be perceived by some as a helpful move, but clearly would also be seen as a hindering move in moscow. now german chance that we'll have cells is calling for a pipeline from portugal through spain and france. how realistic an idea is that and could it make your less reliance on russia?
5:18 pm
the pipeline concerned is referred to as the mid cat pipeline. and speaking several weeks ago now on the 11th of august, all of shots, the german chancellor suggested that the extension of that and delivery of gas from portugal through spain, through france therefore, to germany and other european countries might be some way to help other countries in central europe, who have a dependency on gas might help them that way. but the problem, of course, is that the french president would have to acquiesce there since the pipeline would go through part of french territory. we know that a manual my car has said in the course the last 24 hours, that there's no need for european leaders to jump around like parent a and goats to use his phrase that he is there. paraphrase. paraphrasing phrase used by president sharp to go in the 19 sixty's. what that shows is that might, there might well be a willingness on some european sides for this to be considered to be a viable option. because there's also a reluctance,
5:19 pm
certainly in the elisa palace where president mccaul has his office as it were, there's some doubt that he would like that. so again, this shows you that there is a degree of disagreement as it were about this proposed pipeline. dominic came there for us in berlin. thank you. still ahead on al jazeera typhoon, hannah more carries a heavy rain to japan and north korea often leaving a trail of destruction in the i choose and just one second. we'll talk more about the typhoon that made by fall at the south east coast of south korea have one but 1st to india, and those monsoon rains have really picked up across the western gats. there's been some flash flooding in karnataka,
5:20 pm
but also big downpours to be expected in tamil nadu on wednesday. ok, promising we talk about the typhoon. so here it is. i'm making that landfall toward the south east coast of south korea. let's play the story now by the numbers in a short period of time, half a meter of rain, it's about $23.00 times. what this area should get for the month of september. and oh yeah, those winds with up to about a 116 kilometers per hour. the pictures then certainly tell the story flooded out roads. we had marines looking to rescue any one who may have been left behind. the good news is the storm is very quick. moving so on wednesday, already back into the sunshine, so that will certainly try things out. now the same time the monsoon is also picking up for southern sections of indo china. so torrential rain and certainly i think we will see some flooding across areas of thailand, cambodia, and also the non line this weather report in pakistan in its good do still allow and the monsoon rains, karachi coming in at 34 degrees on wednesday,
5:21 pm
take care the debating the issues of the day produces always in criminalized around the boundaries of right the number there people are families and our friends in our community on line and your voice this minute to eat. don't believe in dialogue. don't political crisis must be soft with a political solution as climate change progress is there some people who are in places that they're just going to have to move. there is no recognition about what we're ready facing. the street. oh no. j 0 lou ah ah,
5:22 pm

5:23 pm
study. eva edwin says preserving peace and stability in the region is vital for his country is also looking to increase economic ties with visits to serbia and croatia as get more on the visit. we can speak to al jazeera correspondent today don't mess chavez, which, who is in the study before us. so this visit comes at a time of instability in the balkans and bosnia. talk us through the importance of it. well in this visit comes at the most turbulent times, probably says the end of the war in 1995, everything started last summer when the buzzing server decided to pull out of the central institution of the cerebral government. the pretext was the a law that was imposed by the high representative in bosnia book and still has this high represent the with kind of basic powers. he can impose law laws as he sees fit . now with that or act of the bosnian serbs bosnia,
5:24 pm
went into winter with high concerns and a political crisis and security crisis. people here will genuinely felt that the bus and it could go in to war. and this tension was extremely palpable in those 1st days after the russian invasion on ukraine. the logic behind that thinking is that the bosnian serbs are strongly aligned with the kremlin and that the kremlin could use those dies to try to stir up instability in other parts of europe and western balkans, and therefore a shifting focus off of ukraine. now obviously that did not happen, but there are credible reports that say that the country was indeed on the brink of the war in the 1st week of march. there were also large protests in, sorry, though this summer. so fueling the political crisis. what more can you tell us about that? yes, exactly. that's the 2nd, 2nd part of the puzzle of the political instability and united states and the
5:25 pm
united kingdom sanctioned the sanctioned bosnian serbs for blocking the central government. but they also sanctioned some of the bosnian croats. officials, officials for blocking also a government institution, supposing crowds to demand a constitutional reform, and indeed during the winter there were heavy talks and negotiating this election and election reform. eventually those dogs broke down the elections were called for the 2nd of october in the, in the next couple of weeks. and the public here was like, ok, we're going to the elections and the election reform is something that we will discuss down the road after the elections. but in july, there were reports that the international community and the high representative are planning on imposing election reform. now the draft that was lead to the press contain several provision which were controversial. they were renounced by the several by several european capitals, by civic society, by bosnian, by
5:26 pm
a political parties incentive and also possibly u. s. congress. and they were renown because they were received as highly on democratic. now, why did this happen? heavy law being from officials argued by will, i will remind you that secretion, president threatened in the early summer that people veto finland and sweden, accession to nato. if, if there isn't a election reform, now, this is the climate in which avalon comes to the region. there were cause to include, i'm kind of in the negotiation is because serves and croats perceive anchor is a patient of a political parties inside a will. they declined it because they do not want the sideline europeans and the americans by death for made of negotiations. okay, thank you for that time durham, mesh, events that for us in that ever as students all heading back to school in the u. s . city if you val day in texas 3 months off the gum and killed 19 of their
5:27 pm
schoolmates on to teachers. there has been an increased security presence of the city schools as anxious parents drop off their children. the rob elementary school where the shooting happened to still shot as it's due to be demolished. renee o'day has moved from benson elementary school in you valley. we've been speaking to a lot of families and students as they were getting ready to go back to school. this morning, a lot of kids that we spoke to said that they just don't feel safe enough. going back to school, i spoke with one student who was entering the 3rd grade this morning. and when i asked him if he was going to be home schooling or going back to a campus, he said that he just can't go back to campus right now. he doesn't feel safe when i asked him why he doesn't feel safe. he said that he didn't think that the police did enough to protect him and everyone else who was at rob elementary school the day of the shooting. and that's kind of the underlying sentiment that we've been, that we've been hearing about here from parents and other kids as well. a lot of
5:28 pm
the parents have been telling me that they are leaving the decision up to their children as to whether or not they want to go back to campus or they prefer to be home school. we've been seeing kind of a mixed bag of decisions on the part of the kids. some of them are going to campuses and some of them are staying home here at benson. this is one of the schools in the district that hosting some of the students, depending on what grade they're entering, will determine what school will be hosting them right now. rob elementary school, the windows and doors are boarded, office shut down as waiting for demolition. but for right now, what we've been seeing this morning is actually something that speaks to the resilience of children. a lot of smiles, a lot of hugs and kisses. parents drop off their kids, a lot of high fives as they see their classmates again. so i think it's something that, and especially after speaking to some of the parents, you know, they've been really pleased with the way that the kids have been able to, to kind of move forward. at least 2 people have been killed and 10 are missing. off
