7:00 pm
there is, 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 whereby the economy could falter there is no doubt recession is, is, is going to loom large, possibly for more than a year, possibly 18 months, more or even more people are adjusting the 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 at similar levels to what it 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 if you speak to these businesses that really on the cost of bankruptcy,
7:01 pm
some of them and so i think there is still some movement here in terms of a possible arrival blitzer a f r a, a pictures are showing that she's perhaps a mile or so away. ah, yes, that's all from here, we'll bring you up to date with events. as soon as the prime minister arrives the address um, is that not getting too far away? let's just bring guides, national views up to speed. you are watching out there. english. that is 10 downing street in the british capital where they are getting ready for live trust to arrive . as you can see, the convoy carrying list trust is making its winding its way through west london. as it has been for about 15 minutes, she drove away from our f north, alt at the in the north of london. its about 40 minutes away from central london and its slowly making its way through west london, the leafy green areas of chelsea. and then a shepherd's bush annealing as
7:02 pm
a heads toward central london. of course it will hit the marble arch area. at some stage. of course we will get to see that cavalcade his long ride along pile. now, before it gets towards downing street, and of course there is dissembled array of politicians, civil servants, and peas, all waiting fall is truss outside dining street. there they are. it was raining a short while ago. the umbrellas were up and i'm sure quite few of them a drench, but they're quite happy to wait for the incoming prime minister. we expect car to of course allow her to get out of it. obviously go into 10 downing street and then come back in a few minutes later to be able to address not only have n p 's that waiting for, but the assembled international press. cool. and most importantly, the british people that's cost back to andrew 7 sousa, part of that press call in downing street, the british people themselves, the nation. the 4 nations that make up the united kingdom will want to know from less trust what her plan is. and i want to know very quickly be discussing most of
7:03 pm
the day, not just with correspondence that you could south andrew, but with many contributors to al jazeera. i spoke to a just a short time ago. she said, lives trust, we'll have no honeymoon period. she needs to hit the floor running because that's what the british public expect time is of the essence. well, that's rides her. she's going to have really hardly any run up time at all and she's got to get straight into it. i think you'll find with this acceptance speech, as it's known, she'll be actually laying the, the land for what she will try to do to help so many millions of families right away over the u. k. some right on the edge of poverty. some others middle class even just in a position where they work better for their mortgages because of the energy costs. so she'll have to address that right away. she cast to get populist, she has to actually really connect and that's may be one of her problems because
7:04 pm
our style isn't particularly it. she doesn't necessarily empathize with people, but where a short from summer, people close to that. but she does have a caring nature up front once a warm and that she is pretty ruthless of getting her way. but the problem is this, that she is insistent that she can grow the economy in a radical way and really leave taxes alone. and now that's too many mature politicians is a bit of a impossible situation to be in. so has she would have things carefully? yes, she has like any politician a. could that be some you turns gentleman's possibly. yes, very likely. but the main point, as you are alluding to, is to connect with the masses to actually do something incredibly popular. so therefore, i think you could well find that this moves to freeze energy bills. mean that they
7:05 pm
won't be caught, they'll still be difficult, but they will stay port and it could be as reported by some media up to 18 months that they're frozen. furthermore, she's going to go for other areas of spending it infrastructure that might be popular. the problem is the welfare states, the problem is, you know, going around saying, you know, i'm going on, i'm not going to increase taxes. i'm not going to increase taxes. well, that doesn't have any relevance to people who are way below the tax bands that are going to need that some treatment anyway. people who are on a benefits and under that, the carrying sector is going to be quite a big area. furthermore, the national health service, which she says, i'll deliver on that, but how will she deliver that? that's the question mark, how will she deliver when she's actually going to be investing a lot of money in, in the care industry whether the whole caring up services or where, where that treating people outside of hospitals and and gt dealing with
7:06 pm
convalescence and everything. how will she afford that? that is a major, major cost and indeed her and i can just tell you now that said the convoys just passed her westminster bridge. it's just past the houses of parliament. i suspect she is a barely one or 2 minutes away from where you are and they'll be great delight dissipation, of course, from the assembled m p. some of those that are there will potentially be part of her cabinet. yes, that's absolutely right. nadeem. so harvey, who is tipped to become cabinet office minister, he was getting very wet just down there without a raincoat. a few minutes ago maybe has taken shelter. perhaps a complimentary umbrella. yes, there are a lot of dignitaries here. there are other members, potential members of a cabinet. i could tell you now because it's probably been the most leaked am appointment list for a cabinet in political history. i've got kwasic co op saying a is almost certainly to be chancellor of the exchequer. that's the finance
7:07 pm

7:08 pm
everyone's greeting her. let's take a look at where she's going. well, she's going to be her mother applause is in the media. there we go. yes, that we have at least trust of call, sir andrew coming out a walk in from her range rover shooting, straight to the lex said, it looks like she is going to speak to the class and to the british public straight away. he's going straight to speech. let's listening to what she has to say. good afternoon. i have just accepted her majesty the queen's kind invitation to full menu governments. let me pay tribute to my predecessor. flora's johnson delivered breck set the cabin vaccine and stood up to russian

7:13 pm
she only becomes the 3rd female brian minister of the united kingdom, following margaret thatcher, who was very dominant to the 19 eighties and nineties. and then of course sir, to resume in the 2010. and of course now is the era of las trusts. now they'll be short of short interlude as sir. she takes breath of what's going on and the magnitude of her job ahead or we don't think she's going to be coming out for another, a press conference. but we shall see m p 's their names are harley there, possibly for cabinet job with a few of the james cleverly as well. there are with his back to us and of course, sir, or we shall see who is announced in the cabinet. and in the coming hours, let's cross over to her. andrew simmons, andrew obviously there's always a little bit of uncertainty as to what goes on after the prime minister closes the door of number 10, downing street, who goes and who goes out. but for what we know so far, we don't,
7:14 pm
these are gonna say anything else at the moment. what will the timeline be now in terms of procedure? ah, in terms of procedure? well, it's case of catching her breath. i would say moving in that right? this very moment, she'll be greeted by a future star from there will be surrounding the staircase in the hallway of downing street. she'll be ready looking around working out well, this is, it's a husband, a her 2 daughters. ah, i do believe that to witness this occasion, she will be shown around effectively the house of sheep, pretty clear on what's where she's been minister to 3 separate administrations. she, she knows the lie of the land. i will know the layouts of a dining street, but what she'll be doing is really getting into that job of making those
7:15 pm
appointments. i think that i'll be very rapid. they'll be quite soon that they've already been made. i will also hasn't a guess. so all the big players, look the heavy hits, i will certainly be lined up and there's a lot of lot of leaks going on. the interesting part, the really interesting part is what's going on with the law ranks because a lot of squabbling going on there in terms of repaying people for the favors they've done by lending that support a to her campaign and of called her. and she's very clear on the agenda, 3 points, the, the most important point, i think the british people want to hear was how she's gonna handle the energy crisis. she says she's going to handle it very quickly and this week, her, yes, let's get into that. that speech m that was short on detail, but sort of white angled own approach. we've heard before about infrastructure and improving the internet, building more hospitals, building more schools,
7:16 pm
getting these investments on the way it's carbon copy to boris johnson. and what he was saying, i remember it well, 2019 very cold occasion when he laid out his agenda. so that's, that's, that's had been heard before. the difference, she says is the case that she's gonna really cut taxes. she's going to go for an approach sort of the american way. suddenly the right wing lay in terms of enabling the economy. so recover now that's being done at the time when it's tanking, you know, and, and, and this whole energy crisis and the war in ukraine. the global picture is against her, the domestic pitches against her. but she, well, she says she as the will, she is going about it and she will sit down with a new chancellor who she's appointing. i would say, oh, she's already put something in there, quite anger who's got a good, a good brief on, on finance,
7:17 pm
she herself is an accountant. so as osmond us by profession at so she knows her numbers and she is known for taking on officialdom for taking on the senior civil servants. she's going to do that now, whether they'll be a battle with the treasury, as they invariably is, with british governments that remains to be seen, but they can't afford not to be united. and when i say united, it's going to be the key word. we didn't really hair much of the word unity in that speech, but it is absolutely critical that this trust that really works on unity because she's not in the best of possess. she only got 50 for 7 percent of the vote. i had to head richie sumac richey soon act was the favorite of a m p 's they, they voted for him in large numbers. so she is in a, in a situation where it's a little bit, you know, it's a bit of
7:18 pm
a situation where she's lane not lame, blamed the wrong way, where she's got to find extra strength, extra support. that's why, with a cabinet you'll see, she'll surround ourselves with loyalists loyal us. she can trust. now where we've heard that before, and british politics is another matter, but she can for us right now. and that is going to be the fuel for her. and with them, is there an downing street? thanks very much. of course we take you back to down the street show those live pictures of what's happening right now. of course, there a few moments ago was less trust speaking to the british nation. and there it is. now, without the lectern and without the prime minister, she's taking a breath miss, probably meeting the staff inside 10 downing street. she talked about the transformational aspirational needs of the nation. she talked about building roads, homes and broadband. she's also talked about taking a very firm hand and acting on the energy crisis, which is impacting on inflation,
7:19 pm
impacting on the cost of living. and that she will make that decision and announcement later in the week. and she also said that she wants to make sure that the n h s a was also cared for and that she would be making sure that doctors appointments is very hot topic in the u. k. about getting appointments with doctors that may have to be able to see a medic are at the top of her agenda. of course, we'll get more analysis and more inkling of what liz trust is going to do and how she's going to act in the coming us here on out there. so we were going to far away on that story because less trust inherent say government that came to power in a landslide victory in 2019 but pulse suggest. the conservatives now trailing the main opposition labor party. emma heyward reports from grinsley in north eastern england on the challenges facing the new prime minister. 525. on a day when the states couldn't be hi, i'm getting the right price is everything. it may be 300 kilometers from downing

7:21 pm
a long way from here. and i think we're doing it a little bit more government support in tape in 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'll get more and more individuals that come in on the weekend. we count basis list ross has promised to lift the economy and tackle the 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 in 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, which was time that i don't think anybody has the answers. finding those answers won't be easy. as the u. k. battles,
