6:01 pm
hello sir. hello robin, you're watching the out. is there a news our life, my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the united kingdom has a new prime minister list. trust takes the reins of a country facing its worst economic crisis in decades. also, the u. a nuclear watchdog calls for a security zone around ukraine's operates a power plant, which is controlled by russian forces. plus al jazeera is back in all day taxes, a small town where one of the biggest school shootings in american history happened as kids go back to school today. parents are not convinced security as up to scratch and we meet one community in pakistan, cut off by the recent floods with homes on the water, but refusing to be rescued. and, and he december to the sport ref our loses at a grand slam for the 1st time this year. the spanish was stunned by american frances t effort in the foreground at flushing meadows. ah,
6:02 pm
welcome to the news or we started in the united kingdom were former foreign secretary lives truss has become the new prime minister. she replaced boris johnson, his leader of the conservative party on monday. trust travel to balmoral castle in scotland to meet queen elizabeth the 2nd who asked her to form a new government. she's just landed back in london where she'll make her 1st speech as british prime minister. and she's also expected to announce members of her cabinet. let's go to andrew simmons now he's at downing street, the prime minister's official residence and office. and andrea has to be said that the great dealer anticipation from the assembled press call, where you are behind you and around you. but exactly what's going on to where is the prime minister right now? well, just seeing these live pictures, there is the jet. so she traveled from aberdeen airport on, ah,
6:03 pm
as prime minister now on her way to her new home. here in downing street, she met the queen. she kissed her hand and tradition. not so much a kiss, apparently it's just a rub on the lips. that's irony. the protocol, the way things the etiquette, and in terms of how she greets the queen the queen. ah then ah, basically appointed her as prime minister, the united kingdom, the 55th, the prime minister, ah, that to actually be appointed during the queen's reign. there were 56 prime minister. she actually served as a queen with bats on up. but in this was the 55th appointment as such. prior to that, forrest johnson, i was there all the way up to aberdeen and then on to bow moral to resign. he had 40 minutes audience with the queen and then made a speech in which he was well put it like this. he was subdued and away,
6:04 pm
and quite angry about his departure and making the reference to a relay race, passing the baton to a new prime minister in a sporting fashion. but the rules changed midway through the race. he said the rules of course, ah, as far as pup as well for the whole issue with his contrivances. well, he didn't obey the rules and that's one of the many reasons why he went now. we're seeing the prime minister a come down from the plain walk down from the plain it so should be about 40 minutes in the motorcade, her hair at a downing street. ah, whether or not the lectern will be brought out by tradition, whether she'll address the world's media here in dining street is unclear. a certainly the sub has a contingency plan to have an address the cameras inside the building because of the stormy weather that sir descended on london this afternoon. um,
6:05 pm
as far as what she's good likely to say with that address, well, she may spell out emergency moves to deal with the crisis in the economy. a crisis with the energy sector with people having to find something like free times, the amount of money for their bills this winter. the poverty will get deeper and deeper into in terms of the position in the u. k. and there is apparently a plan to actually freeze that the actual cap for energy bills and so relieved some of the pressure watched this prime minister needs desperately to do is really get the public mood in her favor because it's pretty wishy washy right now off the johnson's a controversies and a very messy sort of campaign on the road with lots of argumentative debates, especially between richie sumac,
6:06 pm
the former chancellor and his trust suits the still in the foreign secretary post when she was go doing this 2 months of, of hustings. but now of course, as she is prime minister, ah, you know, and when she was in her early twenties, she was a liberal democrat member, president of the oxford de lived dems. now at 47 years of age, she's a prime minister. what will she do? will she will spell out some measures to deal with the economy, not only the issue of the energy sector, but also i'm the sense ministry will get an amazingly big input of money in its billions of dollars or between now and and 2030 or which will put up the of the national at the, the g d p by one percent. so this is another colossal aspect to what she's promising. but she's promising tax cuts and major spending, whether this will work out without major
6:07 pm
u turns is unclear. so we expect to get some clues as to what she's going to be doing in this address that she'll make in don extreme. furthermore, that she'll go into the, into the dining street itself into number 10 itself. and by tradition, she'll be applauded by every one there. uncles will come back to when that happens under simmons there in downing street in london. thank you. while paul brandon looks at the challenges facing the new prime minister. the summer has been quiet here at dining street, the political attention elsewhere. but as this stuff fits behind a desk here at number 10 for the 1st time, the political tempo accelerates immediately. urgent issues. screaming for attention . inbox is full. the number one priority at number 10 downing street is undoubtedly britain's deepening cost of living crisis and central to that is a cost of gas and electricity. i. m f. data says britain is being hit harder than any other western european country by massive fuel price rises. in 2021. a typical
6:08 pm
u. k. how sold paid around $1400.00 a year for energy by early next year. an average bill could hit $7600.00 a year. it may feel poverty for millions of people. the new prime minister says she has a plan. it was perhaps even early on, suggestive, somehow you could get through without there being some form of hand out. i would expect very early on that she will come out with a large package that is designed to solve this problem that will be criticized. many people will say there are problems with energy costs are also driving another urgent in box priority. inflation. in july 2021. inflation in the u. k was just 2 percent. now it is 10 point one percent, and one forecast predicts the next year. it will rise above 22 percent. households are seeing the price of basic staples like bread and milk increase at a rate not experienced since the 1970 s. let's trust looked at the current economic
6:09 pm
environment said it's time for the tax cuts. it's time to free up and liberalize the individual and allow growth to flourish through the government for a while, taking less of our money, potentially even taking on some debt. for me, that's a perfectly sensible economic message. northern ireland is another immediate issue . trust is poised to unilaterally set aside part of the post record, pray, deal signed with the european union. she's unhappy with parts of the deal relating to northern ireland. the e. u has warned that ripping up the deal would risk sparking a trade war with europe. international diplomatic challenges also needless trust. his attention. 7 months since russia invaded ukraine. britain's role in nature is vitally important. maintaining relations with european neighbours, strains due to directs it is a constant challenge. and finally, this, the question of a general election trust doesn't need to call one until january 2025. she is public and said she won't call an election until 2024. but opinion polling suggest the
6:10 pm
british public 11 this year, with a winter of severe economic hardship, inevitable trust may decide the best chances. victory is to go early and ultimately lead trust as agenda will depend very much on liz. trust his own priorities, how she intends to put home all can a job. she's fought so hard to win, but she inherits a portfolio of problems and challenges, perhaps unprecedented since world war 2 pull brennan al jazeera downing street. let's take you straight to our f northville to north of london, around about 40 minutes from downing street along the a 40 takes you through towards oxford. that's exactly the direction that the prime minister, less trust will be traveling from a she heads back into london. jenny is going to take round about 40 minutes. we expect her to speak in downing street where the anticipated press corps are at the moment, all waiting with a cameras pointed at the black door,
6:11 pm
as well as waiting for any movement any sign. but many of her officials might arrive, of course, will be there to live with andrew simmons as and when that happens in the news, our journeyman else is jo ann nadler, a former conservative party staff are an author of to nice to be a tory joyce in a lie from westminster. miss saddler, thanks so much for joining us. i know the weather's been clements at the moment where you are. that good have you where the sky? just begin. where for international view as what you know about list trust in terms of her character and the style of government that shall lead. because that's very important for our viewers who will be seeing the british prime minister at many venues, at many meetings and shaking hands with many world leaders. they need to know who she is. but of course, she has been the foreign secretary and for a roundabout 18 months,
6:12 pm
2 years now. so she's not completely unknown on the foreign stage. but she is really in many respects, are the polar opposites of the departing prime minister in terms of personality, in terms of character. he of course, or is a, as a huge and very charismatic kind of a person. and she is rather low key rugs, serious and some would say perhaps lacks personality. but i think what we'll see from her is a very focused on and an efficient and sort of a government. i think her aim is going to be to, to reassert the conservatives reputation for competence, or you say efficient. that's a really important word because that's really busy to my next question about the cabinets and understanding. got who she wants around her. i mean, yes, men and women, all those that are qualified to do the job is very much stark contrast to johnson's team, to a certain extent of which she was part who you get. the pressure was sort of yes.
6:13 pm
prime minister. yes. prime minister until late had enough of him and his mistakes. well, i think it's a valid criticism of morris johnson that he did seem to a point to his top team. those people who had supported him through his leadership campaign. and there were questions raised about the suitability of some of those people to make the transition into government. now, to certain extent, it looks as though this process is going to repeat that, but in a different way. because clearly she needs to have people around her on whom she can rely, totally on whom she and in him she can trust completely. so it's not unreasonable for her to appoint people who have worked with her and who have supported her through this campaign. what we're hearing so far though, is the sort of people that she's going to be pointing to those top jobs both fulfill the criteria of being longstanding supporters of hers and are also very competent experienced ministers. so. 1 i think it would be wrong to assume that if
6:14 pm
she points people whom she knows and whom have supported her, that they won't also be very capable people. okay, so we get ready to the conservative parties. she's got, obviously got a country to deal with with. so many crises going on, but the campaigning itself to become a prime minister was brought bruising for her and unfair richie sooner and much talk about the conservative party being fractured and needing to come together. which was echoed by the outgoing prime minister abbas johnson. and the former chancellor, she sudak in your opinion of what you've heard and seen how damaged is the party, how fractured hesitant, what sort of repair job has to be done behind the scenes. i think the most important repair job is actually the one that's going to be done front of house robin and behind the scenes. because i think you will see very quickly the party coming together if they feel that she is responding adequately to the task ahead of her. so even this afternoon when we see her make the speech that
6:15 pm
she will be making in a few minutes time and down and speak if she strikes the right tone, if she pays to be on top of the task ahead of her. and then of course in parliamentary question, time tomorrow, and then we're anticipating on thursday and announcement to address this crisis around energy bills. now i think if she can show that she's on top of all of that, will say a lot of these noises off about the bitterness of the leadership campaign. i think we'll see those dissipate quite quickly. what i would say is, i personally would like to see her make an appointment into the cabinet of richie sooner. come not show that he would take it. and this seems to me only one position that actually will be appropriate to offer him. and that would be a secretary of state for health. he stressed throughout his campaign, but his background was one rated in man a chest that a chest is something that requires a great deal of attention, perhaps reform. and he is an exceptionally gifted minister in terms of his
6:16 pm
application to the detail of things i, i don't anticipate that happening, but i think it would be a very sound gesture in terms of bringing the party together. and i think it would be a very good thing in terms of the actual competence of the government. it's not long as you and i talk well she seeing pictures of a convoy including the prime minister heading out of north holt awful. so she's on her way to downing street, and of course i could only assume that in that journey from bow moral to a london, she's had lots of conversations about the subjects you just mentioned. the cost of living, the price of fuel, bending the party may be to a certain extent to me if you were, unless you have beam either on the inside. also the honeymoon period do prime ministers talk about that they have. i mean, in this particular case, in the environment that the u. k is in, at the moment financially is, can be very short period. surely i don't think is even appropriate to talk about honeymoon i, i really don't at a credit. i think that the seriousness of this process character will also be
6:17 pm
reflected in the fact that i don't think for one moment that we're going to hear any triumphalism from her. that would be completely inappropriate. and i think she will be just getting down to the business of government straight away. i don't think we're going to hear a very long speech from her this afternoon. and she made some comments yesterday at the point at which her allegation to prime minister was formally announced, which i thought were completely appropriate. it was business like it was straightforward, but it was brief. and i suspect she'll expand on that a little bit today, but not a great deal because the details will, will come in the next few days. joe, i made up there for a saw from westminster. thanks so much for your time and your insights be really nice speaking to you. thank you. and the 2nd about says live pictures and the prime minister lease truss. now in her official car, as prime minister heading towards london, only a 40 having left or if north alt it's one of the major
6:18 pm
r f bases in the south of england. of course, a one of the forward bases also for the us as well when they deployed their troops as a, when is required of course. the a 40 is a major artery to the west of london. heading through the, from oxford railey down into london and taking you into central london of all views around the world. his sort of end to the marble arch area of the west of lenders takes you in through eeling and into central london journey. and that convoys going to take around about half an hour to 40 minutes. so we expect the prime minister if she does talk to maybe speak to the public from downing street within the next hour or so. and of course, i will be back following her route to downing street. and of course, following what she says from downing street in the new south sell ahead here, only out there and use us. we live from jackson, mississippi,
6:19 pm
where the taps everything again, more than a week without water put challenges, remain and will have an update on pipe food, which is heading towards japan and north korea. and it's full. we'll look ahead to the stars of the champions league with title old israel madrid. inaction on day one . ah. so the nuclear watchdog says what it saw in ukraine is upper rich. a power plant is called the grave concern. the i a e a has just released this report the investigation last week. now the team says a security though must be established around the plant immediately to prevent shelling, which could cause a nuclear and accident. gabriel elizondo jones, you know, from keith. obviously it leads to very important reading for those that are involved. what else is a report saying?
6:20 pm
yeah, this is a very, a pretty hefty report. we just got it in within the last half hour. so this is it here. it's 52 pages long. so there's a lot to go through and we've started to quickly as we can go through this report to glean the key elements out of it. and i can say that these are some of the highlights from it if you will. first of all, the a report confirms that the monitors when they were there doing their investigation of what was happening on site there that they did. they report that they saw lots of shelling in various directions very close to the separation of nuclear power plant. in fact, they noted in the report that it was so bad at one time, the a team members were asked to go to the basement room for safety within the facility for their own safety for a while. they also noted how much damage was done that they saw around and inside
6:21 pm
the nuclear power plant. they detailed the destruction of windows doors, fragments of shelling, things along those lines. so they really got a view of how bad the damage was inside and how the the showing back and forth had reached inside the plant at least to some degree. they also noted that which they had 7 different recommendations. and one of the recommendations was that all the shelling must stop immediately. but as part of that, they said that as a recommendation, there needs to be a nuclear safety and security protection zone set up in order to ensure this, the safety of the power plant. but how they plan to actually implement that is unclear at this point. they just said they're going to work with all parties to try to establish something there. but it clearly is going to take some time to figure out what exactly that will look like. ukrainians clearly want a demilitarized down there,
6:22 pm
but it's unclear if that's quite what the i am calling for here. they didn't quite use that language there. so that's interesting. and another part, another recommendation that caught my eye as well is that the i, a official said they viewed russian military equipment inside this apparition, nuclear power plant facility. they didn't specify exactly what russian military equipment they saw there. but as part of their 2nd recommendation, they said that all vehicles that interfere with safety should be removed from the premises immediately. they didn't exactly say russian military vehicles, but it was sort of insinuated based on the fact that a couple of sentences before they were talking about how they did the russian military vehicles within the plant there. so that was very interesting. they had a few other recommendations as well, in terms of trying to they said, trying to get the off site power lines secured into the plant. they said that needs
6:23 pm
to be established immediately. they said they also need to guarantee the safety of the ukrainian workers that are working at that plant. they said there are certain safety concerns for them there in terms of their own physical safety. if those need to be insured immediately. and then they also said they need to start implementing an emergency plan. should there be some sort of disaster? of course all nuclear power plants have an emergency plan, but they say this one really needs one that needs to be training on it immediately . how to deal with if a disaster happens, how to deal with it in the middle of a war zone, an unprecedented situation. i think the highlights of this are a couple of things. the i e, a did not point the finger at either. the russians or the ukrainians on who is responsible for the shelling that is not the job of the i. e a that is not their mandate. that is not their skill. and they did not point the finger at either side in terms of responsibility. i that was
6:24 pm
a key point. i think another key point was clearly them stating that there has been damage there. and if they need to set up some sort of safety zone with in the nuclear power plant and around it to ensure the safety. how that is implemented again is going to be real questions for refill grossi, the head of the a, in the coming hours, days and weeks. because how you implement that on paper might be one thing. but how you really implemented in practice in the middle of this war zone is going to be another thing. we do expect to hear from fail grosse, who's expected to brief un security council on his report in a few hours gabrielle is on the key. thanks. so much prevent present, doesn't mean putin has attended war games in eastern russia involving forces in china, india, and several other countries. now the week long drills known as vol. stock, 2020,
6:25 pm
to be gotten last thursday with russia's invasion of ukraine. now, in its 7th month, the exercises include more than $50000.00 troops along with our craft and warship. the city of jackson, mississippi as running water once again after going without for more than a week. more than 160000 residents were effective. heavy rain and flooding calls as it is water treatment trying to fail. officials declared the state of emergency. many schools and businesses are closed. the government says the city's water system still needs urgent updates. we know that it is always possible that there will be more severe challenges. the system broke over several years and it would be inaccurate to claim it is totally solved. in the matter of less than a week. we know how to respond to crisis. and we know how to do so effectively. we have the personnel in place today to prevent as many issues as possible. while
6:26 pm
understanding that a week of repairs does not eliminate each and every risk. there may be more bad days in the future. well, john, 100 josefina from jackson, mississippi. a good to speak to you, john? i mean, over a week now, and still no sign of life getting back to normal despite that encouraging news about water pressure improving the situation overall really isn't great as it no, it's terrible. in fact, and water pressure has restored, that means people can flush the toilet. they can take showers, they can't brush their teeth without water, they can't drink it. and that's why they're lined up here at one of 7 national guard distribution centers. because for all the water they drink, all they use to brush their teeth, they have to get it in these pallets of bottles. so they come by every day or 2. most of the people we've talked to say they come every other day and they pick up 2 cases of water and they use it for as long as it lasts him,
6:27 pm
it just this one center and there are 7 total and that's just the national guard. those are the gentlemen you see behind me in the military uniform. they say they go through every day about up to 8000 cases. they get about 4200 cars. each of those cars go get 2 cases of water in load up. now that just patches the problem though, because that water system still is not sending out clean water as you know, at the floods they were here recently overwhelmed the water system. and that system at the main plant was already operating on back up pumps. there been problems here for years. i was talking to a couple of gentlemen last night who told me that they haven't drunk the water here since the 1980s because they knew there were problems. and in 2021 for a month, they had, there was a boil water warning like we have now, because the water was deemed unsafe at that time as well. so this is
6:28 pm
a problem that his brewing for years. and what's going on here is helping people yet through their date, but it's just patching the problem. what are the authorities saying, john, about when the plant could be up and running? as you say it was, i think the river pearl there by the over flooded. i bust its banks and impacted on the plant itself. i mean, at the end of the day, people in jackson, it's surrounding areas. want to know when it's going to be fixed or they want answers now. well, it hasn't been normal for so long that nobody is really making predictions for when that water system will be back to what other cities would consider normal. and here's the problem. this is the poorest city in the poorest state in the united states of america. it is in a republican state, mississippi, but it is a largely democratic majority african american population. and so the state has little interest to give the politicians in the state have little interest to solve a problem in a state that reliably does not vote for the people who run this state. so
6:29 pm
a couple of years ago that the city said it needed $47000000.00. the state gave it $3000000.00. that's the kind of problem we're dealing with. the governor now says, privatization is on the table that is selling off the water system. but the mayor here says that is in no go. so there's very little progress on the long term future here. for the moment. john, 100 net force in jackson, mississippi. thank you. still had him on out there. the turkish president begins his visit to the balkans. he says the region is vital for his country and his boat will tell you why this new chelsea player was wearing a mask ahead of his team's champions league opener. ah hey there, here's your headlines for the america. it's right off the bat, got to tell you, we could see some flooding across the lower mississippi river valley through the
6:30 pm
middle by and taken the northeast to let's pick up the story there. for example, new york city under a flash flood watch. these could be quite intense, down ports off to the west right now, and that oppressive heat wave that's been going on for more than a month. not just breaking monthly temperature records. but for example, in fairfield, california, an old time temperature record that's northeast of san francisco. and look at this, even in the bay area, san francisco getting up to 31 degrees, also heat across the northern plains in western canada, billings 40 we get this feed of southerly air, but look there fighting it out. that northerly, when coming down, that's a cooler wind. so watch on thursday, a big drop in temperatures rate across the board. billions goes from 40 down to 29 central america. this storm is still kicking back some rain for pure water rico, us virgin islands. and then we've got storm k that's running closer to the baja peninsula. so torrential downpours to be expected there. a top and of south america . it's our usual storms. there's that cold front towards the southeast of brazil
6:31 pm
that's knocked back temperatures. southerly wind as well, has cool temperatures in common doretha dab via to 14 degrees on tuesday, ca later ah, with from in prison dissidence to inspiration from founding the independent states to fiercely defending his people from ethnic cleansing. in the conclusion of
6:32 pm
a 2 part documentary seems a world expose the rise to power of the 1st year of an independent bosnia herzegovina. is a beggar, rich from prisoner to president. on a jessina. lou ah. the ordering officer was news i with me sir. robert, reminder ball, top stories this trust has replaced forest johnson at the prime minister of the united kingdom. she travel to balmoral castle in scotland to meet queen elizabeth the 2nd to asked her to form a new government and is now on her way to downing street where she'll address the nation. the u ends nuclear watchdog has released the reporter specification of
6:33 pm
ukraine. jeff, reach a power plant. j says damage caused by fighting near the plant is gravely concerning and the securities own must be established. now, students heading back to school in the u. s. city of the valley in texas. 3 months after a gunman killed $21.00 of our classmates and teachers, there's been an increased security presence at the cities schools as anxious parents drop off their children. the rob elementary school where the shooting happened is still shut, as it awaits demolition. when the odor joins us now live from a val day in texas a difficult day for many children going or even thinking about going to school renee yeah, that's right. so hell, since we've been here and you've all day talking to children, to students and to parents here it's kind of been a mixed bag of emotions. some kids tell us that they were excited to go back to
6:34 pm
school and to see their classmates. and some told us that they've opted to stay at home and home school and do virtual learning. a lot of the parents that we spoke to have decided that they're going to leave it up to their kids to decide how they want to start the school year. and what's happened here today on tuesday, the 1st day of school is that those who have decided to go back to campus learning have been shuttled to different schools around you've all day. depending on what grade they're in, determines which school campus they'll be attending. here at rob elementary school, you can see the memorial that's still been set up here at 21 and people were killed 19 children to 2 teachers. i died that day when a shooter went in and may 3 months ago. and since then, the communities really tried its best to rally together. we see that there has been a lot of signs of resilience amongst people. a lot of them want to just move forward and, and get their kids back to some sense of normalcy. if there can be
6:35 pm
a sense of normalcy and while they fight the bigger fight and to talk to us a little bit more about that is angela vasquez, she joins us now. she's from an organization called fierce madres here that formed right after the day after actually the shooting here at rob elementary happened. angela, thank you so much for joining us. can you talk to us a little bit about what exactly your organization doesn't, what you've been able to do in these past 3 months since the shooting happened? sure, sure. um fierce my that is is an advocacy group for, for gun to in gun violence and gun safety. and so we, many of our, our volunteers consider ourselves like the luck, pina version of moms to man to action. and but what this is this situation in ovalo the i'm from here. i attended rob elementary and so for the last 3 months we've just really been, oh, supportive of the families to be like a louder voice. they're, they're great. they've turned into activist, but there were times where you, you know,
6:36 pm
i thought if there get tired or they just, you know, get exhausted with the whole process or get discouraged will never, will always be the advocate that, that stands there for them. and so we spent the 1st 3 months really trying to get accountability for pete out at the windows position to make sure that that, that they were, they would fire him. and so we didn't do as much, you know, as an organization, as far as fighting the n r a. but that is our ultimate goal is to take on that giant. one of the things we've noticed since we've been here new vall day is a lot of the schools have these 8 foot fences is 2 and a half meter fences that have gone up. but not all of the schools have hit that deadline for for back to school. and we also heard that $33.00 texas officers are going to be tasked with monitoring the schools. but then there's also the flip side of that where parents are telling us, well, what if of those 33 officers, it's some of the officers who are here at rob elementary. the day that the shooting happens. there's been
6:37 pm
a lot of tension and anger at the fact that the action wasn't taken quick enough. yeah. so. so what can you tell us about the security measures that the, the county officials in the town officials have been trying to implement to make sure that kids are safe. i think it's blatantly disrespectful that they had no sense of urgency in those 3 months to make sure that easy things like a fence being installed. they just knew that the 1st day was coming and they still didn't do anything to rush to get it, get everything in place. so it's, it's, it's, it's almost a joke. it's a joke and a and it in, if you start class today like they did, and they didn't have anything ready. what, where's the urgency gonna come from now? they can drag their feet and take their time. so that's where you have like a watchdog groups like ours um that will stay on them and tell it gets done. a lot of the people we spoke to as, while told us that they have
6:38 pm
a sense of confusion for lack of a better word. the parents tell us, yes, our children were victims. we knew the teachers, we went to school with the teachers and on the other hand, we also knew those police officers. we went to school with them as well. one parent told us yesterday that you know, they weren't the community was a bit to fight it on who to blame. some say that, you know, the shooter should be blamed. some say the officials should be blamed. where does fib smudges stand on that? oh no fierce mind that is fully puts it on on the establishment. the culture like like it was a hiring failure to me. like the culture here is the good old boys. they just say, yeah, you're hired, they hired pete and i don't know if you noticed, but he was getting paid over $90000.00 for hire the highest salary of any law enforcement member in the county over the sheriff over the chief of police or so they didn't check his ref, that they would have found out how terrible he was in laredo and web county. then we could have maybe had
6:39 pm
a whole different outcome on may 24th. but that's the way it is. here you have a mayor who says, oh, get, get, get my number. and if anybody you know bothers you, you just call me, we can't live in a society like that. that grandmother had the personal number of the share that's not equal for all citizens. not everybody's going to be able to call the mayor or call the the sheriff. you gotta have a system in place where everyone calls 911. and everybody responds and serves are community the officers the way that they should. but if tell you in that culture this, this will continue to happen, whether it's a rape case in the community. you know, thank you so much. thank you angela, for joining us today. appreciate that. so again, a lot of the mixed emotions today as kids had back to school, but one thing that we were pleased to see is a lot of smiles. a lot of hugs, a lot of kisses, as kids show us exactly how resilient they can be. ready a day that for us in val did. texas thanks very much. more flooding,
6:40 pm
as they did in southern bulk, is the one with release of water from the country's largest lake. engineers have cut through the embankments of make man shot and send the province to reduce the volume of water threatening to flood properties down stream. now the villages in its path are home to more than 100000 people, most of whom have moved to safe areas while army and navy, and it's continued to rescue people. some are refusing to leave her homes as a bas ravi reports from the district in same province. the floods have turned the edge of open fields in sin province into the shorelines of an inland sea. a staging point for rescue mission. shuttling people to safety. those from the district now wait and worry for the ones left behind the village after the village underwater only the tops of trees and buildings, visible people who are still here are completely surrounded,
6:41 pm
living as castaways in their own homes. now kind of still children here. the floods came and we couldn't get the children out. we weren't able to save anything. now we've got houses fallen down. we have suffering a lot. what should we do? the government must help us. food is running out and they are stranded. but refusing rescue where animals represent wealth, to leave them behind, is to lose everything during the boat up here. so now my mom, the girl you were doing and there are a lot of steve's here. if we leave the house, we will be robbed as the steel plates and dishes we eat from. then what will we do would endanger here? but if we go to another place, our lives will be endangered there as well. and there will have nothing to eat, will die of hunger, hungary here, or hungry there. at least here they say in whatever remains of their home,
6:42 pm
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 more water. more rain is coming up standing here. it really feels like you're looking out at sea, 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. 2 a man swims across to help push out the floods may have taken their lives and property, but not there need to take care of each other. because in basra, the oldest era,

6:44 pm
the circling winds around the typhoon center meant that the whole of a stretch of coastline bull, the full brunt of wind whipping in from the open ocean. as he none more thundered inland. the excessive rain combined with high tides and a stone serge have caused widespread flooding. soldiers have been helping and effected areas. in this one video clip, they use an arm of the vehicle to rescue a stranded woman. and after the deluge the clean up and the chance to assess the damage living near the ocean, these communities are used to storms, but shop own, as the mean checked says, all he could do during this time food was take shelter. i didn't sleep in all night and it wasn't like i could go outside and check the situation. it was a nightmare. further along the coast, these businesses thought that extra concrete blocks in addition to see defenses
6:45 pm
would be enough. they weren't. every household in this community has volunteered to help with the clean up to my whenever there's a typhoon, we always worry how big it is going to be. but we can't blame the ocean. we can't abandon the see. still a powerful storm him know his continue to track nor bringing heavy rains to japan, north korea, and finally russia. while back in south korea, people wonder when the next ty food will come, and how powerful it will be. rubbed, mcbride al jazeera boost. at least 66 people have been killed in an earthquake in southwestern china, the magnitude of 6.8 tremor struck in the living area of which one province on monday. it destroyed homes, disrupted communication lines and cut electricity supplies. the strongest earthquake in the region in any 5 years took his presence of diaper don has arrived
6:46 pm
in bosnia and herzegovina. on the 1st leg of a 3 day balkans toll now he's meeting members of the presidential counsel in the capital. saudi eva, edward says preserving peace and stability in the region is vital for his country. he's also looking to increase economic ties with visits to serbia and croatia correspondent, headache december, which is in san diego. this is a, comes in a very turbulent time for both in history, probably the most turbulent time since the war backend in the ninety's. everything started back last summer when the buzzing served pulled out of the central government institution and therefore effectively blocking them with that move and the de botton and bosnia went into winter with political instability and political crisis, which soon turns into security crisis. the lodge there was a palpable tension, attention about and fear that the country could plunge into war and dissension was
6:47 pm
extremely palpable, especially in the 1st days of the ukrainian of the russian invasion on ukraine. the logic behind that is that the bosnian serbs are strongly aligned with the kremlin of the kremlin, could use this relationship, sir, up instability in other parts of europe. therefore, shifting focus of the europe unit powers and the west from ukraine to, to, in this case, the western balkan fiasco telephones, acting health minister, is called for increased corporation with iran. colonda abad is into ron photos of officials from the health ministry. the taliban government has been struggling to improve the health system because of years, a conflict in sanctions. early this year the world health organization was that it was on the brink of collapse. dosage of our re has more from to her on the 2 countries are certainly not at war with each other. they share about a 1000 kilometer border. afghanistan is just east of iran and officials here when
6:48 pm
the taliban took over afghanistan in august of last year. the reigning president, abraham bracy, saw it as a welcome chance for the afghan people and the government to restore peace in the country. you welcome the removal of us forces in a neighboring country to iran. but since then, the government here has yet to officially recognize taliban as the legitimate government of afghanistan. they have still maintained relations width at a officials they're, they have. the iranian embassy remains open and operational in couple as well as a consulate in herat. the afghanistan embassy is still working in her on and the officials have come and gone here since the taliban took over. there is a number of issues between the 2 countries that remain very much at the core of the problems. the 2 countries. chair, one is security, as i mentioned, there is a 1000 or 1000 kilometer border, the 2 side share and since the telephone to cover for the 1st time between the 2
6:49 pm
sides, there have been armed. clashes along that border with the iranian government. officials accusing the taliban of not understanding where the actual borders and between iran, enough canister. and the 2nd issue that has come up over the past few months is the issue of water shortages in the southern part of iran. the official sphere of accused the taliban government of building dams along the herat river. let's take you straight to london way in between that green foliage. you might be able to make out the convoy there. of the new proc, british prime minister les tress, as she slowly makes her way through central london and towards buckingham palace. now of course i took about 30 minutes to drive maria north, halt her. it's a slow windy process. of course, as you hit in a london and they are hitting it just as the, the russia begins. but being the prime minister, of course, the police are moving most of that excess traffic out of the way that she can make
6:50 pm
her way to downing street. to the many m. p. 's and civil service that awaiting to greta. and of course, she will be speaking to the nation at large a while at convoy continues to make its way across west london and towards buckingham palace. we could join andrew simmons who's a anticipating her arrival exactly where you are. and so as the wells press corps, andrew. yes, certainly. yeah. that was a fast moving medicaid about 20 minutes ago. but yes, you're right now, she's a, getting a, a caught up in various traffic on the suburbs, and now it looks as if she's pretty close to having come through the west end. and now approaching, not far away as far as her progress to day. it's an extraordinary day in anybody's life, a becoming prime minister, the u. k. the queen, having greeted her in our moral castle, that's up in scotland, the queen there at 96 years of age. she have mobility issues. therefore,
6:51 pm
the prime minister had to fly up there and get invited to former governments. and of course now in the syringe rain with various signatures, various potential members of the government running for cover right now at against some sort of escape from the rank am. now, she is else to make, i say about in the next 510 minutes going to be making a presentation has speech. it certainly won't be outside if it stays like this, even though the lessons that it will be inside number, then she will outline her program of government. she will get the highlights of what she intends to do. those highlights will be spend, spend, spend by the sound of it, and keep the taxes as they are cut them in, in some places. but certainly as far as the national insurance is going at,
6:52 pm
that will not. so that will be reduced from the increase i made before. furthermore, the corporate tax, full companies went away through the u. k. will not be increased even though the previous jossla, which he soon i had planned to do so. so more and more scrutiny is coming down on the pans full as prime minister to cut taxes or not at all increased taxes, and then to move forward with investment to grow the economy, which is what she wants to do. and only will she be outlining that she will also go into the whole issues of defense and the ukraine war on how more can be done to assist that not that war for the ukrainian army in terms of military support. and also in terms of financing and co, the whole, we're going to get
6:53 pm
a briefing. she will get a briefing. sorry, usa, no, andrea, i will send a thing to you. i wasn't quite sure whether you would pull or not, but as you say, no, because a whole raft of stuff, but at least trust has to get through while the traffic winds through what you're dealing with all of that rain, which is, you know, you need a metal for that, let's talk about some of the issues as well. you've been traveling the country, you've spoken to a business. a small medium enterprise is as well as the public a large. i'm not real concerned about energy costs. i mean, it can't be under underlying more heavily candidates. i mean, the worry that people have in the united kingdom, it's worry that's reflected globally, but you've, you've obviously spoken to so many that are very concerned. and they want to see the new prime minister act very quickly on the subject miss what she simply has to love with this week. maybe even this next hour or so, she'll immensely some more detail about what she intends to do. and that is like it
6:54 pm
to be freezing the cat on the energy bills because by january they will be trickled . that is a putting some households unable to pay their mortgages. that's the poverty, and which is endemic in so many areas of the u. k. will get far worse food banks are in it in trouble all over the country because people aren't donating so much anymore because they're in need of help themselves. so we have a situation where she has to do something, but what can she do? well, it's likely she'll put billions and billions of dollars into a program whereby that freeze can be maintained, that the power companies gas electric will and we'll, we'll get these, this funding effectively loans to subsidize the bills. but as far as the strategy goes for this prime minister, she has to get popular on the 1st week, not the 1st 100 days. she's got to do it right away because the conservative part
6:55 pm
is taken such a bashing. in the latter days of a forest, johnson's rule that they flay are now very, getting lower and lower in the opinion polls. labor is gaining in the liberal democrats. the other opposition party is also making good gains in the opinion. polls that so conservatives right. the way through this country ah, very concerned. furthermore, 57 percent of the conservative membership voted for ha, that's not a great majority by any means in a, in a leadership contest. furthermore, m p 's once a one giving her 1st choice status before that election started. so there is a real threat to her. and if she doesn't deliver, as she's promising only on monday, if she doesn't deliver effectively quickly and rationally, which is another aspect to it all because there are concerns about the level of
6:56 pm
expenditure. when you add a defense spending to the mix, that's going to be an extra pat percent on the, on, on, on the overall that the overall spending of the country, the national debt, the actual g d p should i say that will go up to 3 percent up before 2030 and she will be pretty responsible for the biggest increase in defense spending since the 1950s if that goes through. so there you have a situation that more more looks difficult. in terms of right now, we've got dignitaries, right, the way down to the end of this street crowds, very thick crowds. beyond that's in parliament street. and also crowds dignitaries arriving from horse god parade. for what may well be an outside and outside a dress. furthermore, on this day, she will also have to have a breathing from a collection of senior military offices about
6:57 pm
a nuclear deterrent the lately submarines of the vanguard submarines, nuclear subs. 4 of them, which are equipped with the, with missiles and nuclear missiles that trident missiles, she will be briefed on those. and she will be also briefed on a hand written document. she has to put in the safe, which has moved into the safe of each of those vessels which will be the last resort or words to that effect. what the command is, those submarines have to do. if the british government is taken out in a nucleus drive, the implication there being, what lies on the shoulders are all list trust. when she suddenly realizes the button is there and she will be re sponsible for what happens at should the worst possible unimaginable thing happened. indeed under it, of course that convoy continues to travel along west london. i think it may just hit hearts of the thames as well as it sort of winds its way through the greenery
6:58 pm
of west london as we both know. so very well, let's talk about another issue that she has to deal with is the ongoing civil strife. you might say across the country, postal workers, rail workers, and some industries related to the airline industry. all striking and making life very difficult, not just for the government, but the people at large. and it all comes back to the cost of living and no wait rises and inflation though those inflation and the cost of living is other words, the hot words hot potato at the moment when it comes to british politicians. and that answers how to solve it. absolutely, the issue of industrial strife is somewhat describe it. others would say, ah, militant tendencies amongst workers. but the labor party, as you know, is, is associated with the trade unions, or they would be dealing with that directly. with the union's concern as government,
6:59 pm
a british government so far has not been engaging directly, although indirectly putting pressure on a company is indeed institutions at the post office at like the companies them and private rail. what we're seeing here with his trust is a possibility that she will go hard with the unions. she will do a sort of thatcher right thing, not identical, but she will start at 2 as even suggestions that she will them come down on on, on truck drivers. for example, of important goods getting not only allowed to actually take industrial action that is a one possibility of, of majesty nation. but certainly i'm a certainly move towards restricting the rights of trade unions, which is alarming. a lot of people, um, there is a, a similarity has to be said, i'm old enough to remember it's the winter of discontent. and the 19 seventy's when it was down to a 4 day week at one stage, really, really difficult times that there is,
7:00 pm
there is no way of disguising the fact that the energy crisis and the cost of living crisis in the u. k. is getting to the point where by that the economy could falter there is no doubt recession is, is, is going to loom launched, possibly for more than a year, possibly 18 months, more or even more people are adjusting that comparisons with the seriousness of what's going on to 2008, when, when we saw a major, a major crisis in the economy, a slump right across the board with record interest rates and inflation as similar levels to what it's predicted to be next year. and there is a, a feeling on board the trust has to deal with so many issues, potential civil unrest, potential bankruptcies for so many small businesses. you were talking earlier about him. you speak to these businesses, they're.
