12:04 pm
georgia maloney wasted no time in addressing the supporters and italy with when this night is over, we will remember that this is a new beginning from tomorrow on. we will have to show what our values are worth. if we are called to govern and lead this nation, we will do it for every single italian with the goal to unite these people. because our biggest goal in life is to make sure that italians are finally proud again to fly our flag high pulls opened at 7 a. m. all in all, 16 hours of voting has been a steady stream of people coming to vote throughout the day despite the rain. and even though most people are not telling us who they voted for, what is clear is that opinions are very strong on both sides. i mean, i'm with you as soon as i'm facing because it's a g t n a right that we finally can express. we don't have many rights left. so i will
12:05 pm
vote in the hope that italy will come out of this swamp, in which we are stark. i'm hoping for change for a really big change because we really need it. i thought i'm terrified that there will be changes because what's happening is really an earthquake in my opinion. it's been a divisive election, not only raising questions of what will change inside italy, but how italy will present itself abroad. the main challenge of angela ford maloney asked by minnes, i would, would be to be accepted by the main european countries as a credible and reliable partner. otherwise, if things will go wrong or if maloney were pushed to ard on a her far either agenda, what that might be, of course, very soon of some promise for italian political stability, italian economy, and as well. yeah. relationship with you might be traveling. there will be weeks for political consultations and appointments before the italian president. sergio martha rella appoints a prime minister. but that seems to be all but
12:06 pm
a formality. george maloney is set to be italy's 1st fema prime minister. the question then, what will her italy look like? stephanie decker, al jazeera rome. well, the lawyer bought an arrow is a political analyst. he explains how victory formula and the, and her right when coalition shows that support for anti establishment parties has grown over the years. we can see that from 2011, 2009, the beginning of the financial crisis, and then into colvin. and now the war again go the war in russia, ukraine, italy is developing not the system moves that changes from time to time that we can see that in 2013, it was the 5 or movement. it was interpreting days and then it was the legal saline and now is georgia, maloney,
12:07 pm
we can really see another system movement that doesn't trust establishment as a sort of connection with the people that really don't get anymore. so just maloney is totally in this flow is the flow that starts with the 5 star movement then the legal read and then judge me look, i'm a stablish ment movement. i think the coalition will survive as georgia mahoney and the way biggest power in coalition. and we will see what's going to happen in the european arena because there is a part of the european of the p p. that is for say, thought this can you guarantee you to be in a live live that government is still reliable and gender maloney is a reliable partner. and this is something that we will see in the names of the government . the major will be the minister of finance will be the minister for an affair who
12:08 pm

12:11 pm
it is paramount that the 7 indispensable bitters of nuclear safety security are of health. they represent the most fundamental of the basic rules that should be followed in order to ensure to safe and secure operation of nuclear facilities. their ease, doner stance, and own, require a full re through of the agencies safety standards. a nuclear security series legend, gentleman, in the unstable reality we all live in, we must be able to rely on existing commitments to non proliferation and nuclear disarmament. and a respect, we must continue to strengthen a nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation regime. we all know that an on board for ation of treaty is fundamental to international basis security. it represents our share determination to prevents nuclear conflict and work towards global 0.
12:12 pm
but like any other commitment, it requires a collaborative efforts to assure it remains relevant. a lot of this, the netherlands has endeavored to play a constructive role as one of the co chairs of the m b t review conference. we regret russia's blocking of this final documents, preventing us from reaching a consensus, but also note that a 190 countries where we're ready to compromise a strike a deal. we should use that positive momentum to keep moving forward in making our world a safer place in young, stable reality. we live in. we also need safeguards because without safeguards, there wouldn't be a nonproliferation regime. hence, we call on all member states who have not yet done so to sign a ratify,

12:14 pm
leave us. and of course we'll have more on that as we get it. now that's sad, go to need barker, who joins us outside the london stock exchange. and it says, of course, sir, regarding this situation of the unprecedented tax cuts in the u. k. and the ramifications of that need. how is the pound looking right now after what's happened earlier? yeah, it was incredibly turbulent sir over the past 24 hours because of fact, the pound fell to a, a 37 year low when they reflected in asian markets overnight. so we're looking at the exchange rate around $1.04. that's of the opening of markets here in london has jumped so at $1.07. but of course, it's really spoke to investors across the board and will undoubtedly potentially have an impact on the value of the money in people's pockets when it comes to the market. if they've rallied ever so slightly as well. the $4100.00 a next is up
12:15 pm
a 17 points and that's not point 2 percent. but nevertheless, that dropped that we saw, reflects on the asian market, says raised really, really big concerns about the possibility of parity between the a pound and the dollar. possibly towards the end of the year, just before we came on, our read a rather alarming report. that service is now regard as being a very likely possibility, a 60 percent chance swarm forecast put it at being. what does this meeting practice? well, for instance, if you are a manufacturer here, the united kingdom and you import items to make your product from abroad, that's potentially going to cost more money and who's going to pay for that? well, those prices may potentially be passed on to consumers, commodities like girl a gas are also traded in dollars as well. so we may see those prices go up as a result of this. and let's not forget that inflation here, the u. k, that's the increase in the cost of goods and services over a period of time is currently at
12:16 pm
a highest in 40 years is hovering around the 10 percent market has been there for the past couple of months. so. so in response, the bank of england, which acts independently of the government, has increased interest rates to the highest since 2008 to point 25 percent that currently at to try and dump and down this increase in prices. an increase in price, of course, is affected by a shortage of goods on the global market, largely also affected by the war in ukraine, this affecting everything from the power fi price of flour to fuel. the concern is that if the government doesn't get the balance right in relation to what the bank of england is doing, then that the pound could really sears to be in trouble at the end of the day. it's ordinary consumers that will be paying the price a need with all of that. what might the political repercussions b yeah, this is a huge, huge gamble for this conservative government that has really turned our fiscal
12:17 pm
policy on its head. a real departure from all the previous conservative governments administrations have been doing in recent years. what they've been doing, of course, is ramping up taxes and cutting spending. all this government wants to do is to slash taxes. it made that announcement on friday, while the same time ramping up, boring to pay for all of this as well. it also wants to use that money to stave off the energy crisis and the cost of living crisis. but at the same time, there are huge concerns about whether the government can really afford to do all of this very, very simply. there are 2 ways that governments make money. one is through taxation, the other is so selling, government bonds io use. basically, normally, britain is able to do that at a reasonably low interest rate because the british economy is reasonably stable. but because of all of these are upheavals in the last few days because a concern about the government's policy, the interest rate has jumped to 4 for cents,
12:18 pm
a 24 hour period. that's as high as since the early 19 ninety's. so essentially, let me, boy, this down boring money becomes more expensive for the government. a precise of the time, the government is planning to borrow tens of billions of dollars if divided economy about whether any of this makes sense. it is, as i said, a huge gamble in the eyes of money. the market in london there. thank you. s has warned to russia that using nuclear weapons in ukraine would have catastrophic consequences. that's after russia's foreign minister pledged at regions, annexed in separatist referendums and ukraine. would have moscow's full protection . the boats are being held in for ukrainian regions occupied by russian forces gave an it's western allies say the referendums are a sham that will never be recognized protests against a person that i may have. putins partial military mobilization order have continued across russia in dog star that more than a 100 people blocked
12:19 pm
a highway. at least try to break up the protest. i firing shots into the and these to 5 rescue workers have been killed in the philippines after super typhoon noro hit, its northern regions is starving, downgraded to a regular type food, and some areas are suffering widespread flooding. thousands of people at sheltering in evacuation centers, electricity supplies have gone down in large parts of the country, and local officials have suspended at school classes and work in government offices, or below reports from the philippines, capital manila, where floodwaters have now subsided. so we're in a small village in a manila suburb, and this area is considered a river basin just next to the street. is the river. and last night, during the onslaught of super typhoon normal, the river did spill over. and so the flood water here, they told me, was waist deep to about the height of
12:20 pm
a small person. but that's not out of the ordinary here again because they're beside a river. so whenever there is a storm, there's flooding here. and actually they expected where it's from a category 5 storm bought. that did not happen. if he does, he dare back now to living their normal lives. they're cleaning up their back in their homes. the floods subsided pretty quickly. and this is really the extent of the damage the aftermath of super type lenore roof on the philippine capital. much of the damage is in the island of leo and in the provinces of aurora and castle where super typhoon or rule made to landfills. and just as quickly as it intensified into a super typhoon, it was downgraded to a typhoon, as it was sweeping through the main island. the bizarre. now it is out of the philippine land mass out on the sea,
12:21 pm
on the way to vietnam. a 90 year old's at catholic cardinal and 5 other people have appeared in hong kong court for their role in anti government protests. car note, joseph zen is one of ages highest ranking catholic clerics. the group is on trial for allegedly running a funds to help defend people arrested during pro democracy protests. they were detained under national security law earlier last year for colluding with a foreign forces if convicted, they could face a fine, but no jail term is national dignitaries are gathering in tokyo for the state funeral of a former prime minister sions of other who was assassinated as a political rally in july, but the cost of the event and i base links to a controversial church organization are facing criticism. mcbride reports japan prepares to say good bye to wit. longest serving prime minister sions. obey with a lavish send off. that's the source of growing controversy instead of morning,
12:22 pm
many have been protesting with much of their anger directed at the current prime minister for me. ok, shita stuff vacant. and she, the clueless showed his stands of continued albert policies and he's forcing it on the nation. coming from a political, dennis de, it seemed natural at 1st that such a distinguished life should be celebrated with a state funeral. but the problems began soon after his assassination at a political rally in july, when it emerged the suspect bore a grudge against ave, for his linked to the unification church. which the man blamed for making his mother bankrupt, widely known as the moonies and associated with organizing mass weddings. the unification church has long been regarded by some as a dangerous cult that pressures its followers into making exorbitant donations. it was founded in south korea in the 1950,
12:23 pm
but has been expanding its influence here in japan for decades. this was ave, giving a recorded address to a big gathering of the church a year ago. i mean, it was then revealed the organization had other links with japan's ruling party. why doesn't all the members of my cabinet have place to examine their own relationship with the organization and cut all ties with it? that in turn has led to charges of persecution by the church, which claims 3000000 members. this was a protest rally held in soul. you got no stop, human rights repression, stop distortion, reporting religious repression. the roiling controversy is far from the kind of respectful and reflective atmosphere. japan's embattled prime minister had hoped for the state funeral, and we've seen kishi the plummet in the poll. i mean, he's dropped 20 point, you know, and you know, his negative now exceed his positives. about 2 to one people are against shins though. ave,
12:24 pm
an extremely influential but divisive figure in life. so proving it seems in death . rub, mcbride, al jazeera, tokyo, or protests are being held in a lebanese capital. they root over the countries unprecedented economic crosses. people are trying to reach the polymers that's in session to discuss. well, next live now to say no to in beirut is they know what's happening where you oh yeah, well we're outside part in the building behind me. retired soldiers, people who are demanding better pay better compensation. a short while ago they managed to briefly push through the security barrier outside apartment building before the army pushed them back. they wanted to give a message to the members of parliament inside who are discussing the 2022 state
12:25 pm
budget. they are saying that they can no longer survive with the money that they received every month. it used to be worth approximately $800.00. now it is worth $30.00 because of the currency crash. lebanon is indeed economic crisis, which began nearly 3 years ago. but little more, nothing has been done by the politicians to rectify the situation. 8 every other day we see protest in the streets, whether they are employees of a certain state, institution, of telecom companies, the public sector, really, they've been on strike for some time. now they say that the money that they've been receiving is just not enough out on the budget on the draft budget that is being discussed by members of parliament. there is a clause calling for an increase in the salaries of state employees, but the opposition is saying if that passes, it's just going to create further inflation. in fact, that state budget,
12:26 pm
that draft budget has come under a lot of criticism. 2 not from opposition m p. 's, but economists as well because it lacks comprehensive reforms where forms that are needed in order to save the economy. but we've heard the speaker of parliament just tell the caretaker prime minister a short while ago inside parliament, about the men that lebanon is not under any obligation to comply. in other words, with the m f, and many will tell you the only way out of this crisis is if lebanon gets that bailout package of some $3000000000.00. this country is hungry for hard currency. it's hungry for dollars because it's important to almost everything. food, commodities, other essentials, and in fact, in that same budget that's being discussed, customs are supposed to be height. and if that happens, that means prices are gonna increase across the boards. lebanon, like i said, is in deep financial meltdown. these are civil servants, retired army soldiers,
12:27 pm
but this is not the only protest you see every other day people take to the street saying that they can no longer survive. they're struggling to make ends meet just a few days ago. we were in the north of the country where we reported on that migrant vote that that capsized lebanese syrian refugees, palestinian refugees trying to escape to europe despite the dangerous, because of the growing poverty. the growing helplessness really, of the situation here growing unemployment. so a short while ago, dozens of protesters managed to briefly overrun the security barrier as tried to make their way to parliament. they were pushed back, they say they made their voices clear and the message was heard. but we still do not know how the lebanese politicians are gonna resolve all the issues on the table if they have been reluctant to carry out reform. and with all that going on, as you say, how are people actually managing to survive in this desperate situation?
12:28 pm
well, many will tell you the really, there is a certain percentage of the population who are in dollars, not a sizable percentage, but the percentage and, and you have also a sizable number of people who have family members abroad. this is a country which x box community is really triple, if not more than triple the numbers in this country. what 5000000 they send money back home. remittances. this is how people survive to be able to put food on the table. but there is also a sizable number of people who don't have family members abroad, who cannot put food on the table. inflation is high, the price of food is high. fuel fuel is so expensive that people no longer use their cars. in fact, facts these have, you know, stopped working. now people are using motorcycle, they're using a buses. the quality of life has changed and you can see that the roof, the capital,
12:29 pm
the ones bustling capital has changed. you go to commercial districts and you see shops are closing down people, there's no electricity. the states cannot provide electricity. the state has no money to buy fuel. so if you don't have money, you live without electricity. if you do, then you pay for private generators and that is very expensive. people have to pay $3400.00, not more a month to be able to get a few hours of electricity from private generators. there's also water shortage because pumping stations don't have fuel. so water is not reaching people home. so you have, you know, all these different problem and yeah, politicians are still discussing a budget which should have been approved at the beginning of this year. so you know how to in beirut for now. thank you. supporters of the iranian government have held
12:30 pm
