in birmingham. ah, delegates arriving at conference on monday with grease it with the theme tune to a slapstick tv, comedy blaring from a protest as p a system. no, he is not brought her name because just 24 hours after prime minister lis trust had said she was absolutely committed to abolishing the talk. tax rates paid by britons richest. miss chancellor was announcing a screeching. you turn the tax on top and as will stay. i know the plan. what forward only 10 days ago has cool a little turbulence. i get it. i get it. ah, we are listening and have listened. and now i want to focus on delivering the major parts of our growth package. this conference could scarcely have gone any worse, full is trusted so far. the agenda derailed by a combination of tone,

deaf policy and a lack of support from the own parliamentary and peace. this comparative speech by the chancellor quasi quoting a clear attempt to put the party now on the front porch instead. mister, go, i'll just, sarah. are you happy? i'm sorry. how come? but scrapping the top tax rate was only part of a bigger package which continues to divide the party. former minister michael cove has criticized it as an conservative and other rebels have joined him. the opposition labor party is crowing. their instincts were to cut taxes for the wealthiest and fancy hateful by borrowing, which in the end, current and future tax hires will have to pay for it. it was obvious they want and to get this straight, the hassle and i will, that will stand this screeching ye turn, policy experts of expressed surprise that the government could have been so out of touch with public sentiment going forward. there are some difficult decisions to be made around public spending around public services. if they, again choose to ignore their job as representatives of people. they will hit big

hurdles. this has been a deeply uncomfortable conference for the case, ruling conservatives raising questions about the new prime minister's authority on the new chancellor's credibility. quater has had his chance to reiterate the case for his growth plant. all eyes now turned to the prime minister's speech on weapons . they pulled brennan al jazeera birmingham. european currency traders have responded positively to the british governments. you turn on the pound has bounced back from its record no against the us dollar, but it may take a lot more to calm the financial markets. the back, a reports from london says it doesn't take a financial expert to read these graphs and understand the turmoil, the british economies facing. but after a week of market convulsions that pushed the pound to an all time low against the dollar. now some relief in the response of the government screeching, you turn on their tax cut for top burners. as markets opened across europe,

the pound bounce back in value against the dollar. you got the pound rising roughly back to where it was before the many budget a pricing on what we think the bank cleanable due next has changed. so previously we expected to add another 2 percent or sorry to interest rates. nice way to not to prep at 1.25. so the markets, a comma, i think, and i sort of gives the government time to go back to check it's homework if you like. and then come back to the markets in a few weeks with a different forecast in terms of what they can to after to spend. and he's borrow energy to cut in terms of government spending. but even after the move, the mortgage market remains in trouble. many house buyers have seen the cost of loans double since the government's many budget with lenders suspending hundreds of offers. the government's financial credibility remains in question. this may be a u turn and the government plan to scrap the top rate of tax for the highest a vernace for this is anything but an ideological u turn. and the government dash for economic growth. a budget that could well still lead to come some public services including welfare affecting the poorest people in

the united kingdom. why? because this, the government ramps are boring to pay for other tax cuts. it also wants to make so called efficiency savings, the prime minister refusing to commit to increasing welfare benefits in line with inflation. while at the same time lifting the capital bankers bonuses in a bit to make britain more attractive to investors. but it's a gamble. many business owners and even bankers sto by julia davies is a member of patriotic 1000000. as u. k, a group of wealthy investors calling on the government to increase their tax share . all comes down to an ideology. this conclusion knocks those countries that do well which deliver the most well. so they do down the back of decent taxation, i believe in responsibility, community and society. and that requires those that can afford it to pay tax. so i don't see tax as a burden. i think it's something that we should all be proud and welcome doing and

just be glad that we can afford to do it. after years of economic stagnation, the government wants to hotwire the economy into action to embolden trade, the prioritized growth and economic project. government critic se works for the few . instead of the money leave barker al, jazeera, london and investigation into the us national women's soccer league has found that emotional abuse and sexual misconduct, or systemic in the sport that he was launched off. the 2 former players came forward with allegations of harassment in the sexual coercion involving a former coach full riley. he denies the allegations 5 of the 10 head coaches in the n s. l last seasons were fired or stepped down to allegations of misconduct. the reports has made a series of recommendations to prevent future abuse or any washington is a former national women's soccer league player. now a freelance college sports journalist,

she joins us live from philadelphia. welcome to the program. so put simply, what do you make of these revelations? yeah, it's bad, it's shocking. and honestly it's, it's kind of these areas are addressed and so i'm not the least bit surprised as somebody that seen a lot of toxicity within women soccer is starting from the youth level. and so i'm, i'm just really appalled by this that and the players that are involved. but hoping it leads a meaningful change. why was this allowed to happen then? it's a great question because when you hear about the story that says, you wonder that exactly, they had to go on how to get by. how does this over look? but it's a system of the continuous sleeping things under the rods. unfortunately, you know, and it's one of those things, but it's not as talk about players. don't always have the content over to the cards to come forward. doing that, they might not have the support. you see a lot of players who step away from the game altogether. when in reality it's other

circumstances such as the youth verbal, emotional, sexual, that force them to do. so i understand that you yourself experience bullying during your soccer career. so from your experience, what needs to change? yeah, and it's interesting because that was a 3 time all american, i'm a college hall of famer. i professional soccer from the outside looking in many don't even know that my journey was not at all easy and it was a lot of toxicity with and as you mentioned, bullying whether it's coaches, teammate, have thing, things that go on. so, you know, i just think that unfortunately it's a system that is, is broken, it's flawed and it's bad, but it becomes the norm that players learn to expect that and to take it and not be like they, as women and girls can't speak up. and so personally, i know myself, that's partly why i stepped away from the game and many others by madge. i've done the same, but it's something that there's not that support of resources of people that you

can turn to that are going to listen and actually take action, meaningful action, help resolve it. you find a lot of people just violent. and as victims just continues to perpetuate, because there aren't those allies and supporters that you should have. and as you said, no action is taken. how does that affect you as a player? it's tough because you find yourself just becoming them to it. and it's bad to even say that, but that's the harsh reality of it. you find yourself just accepting it, and that's the norm. it's the politics of the favoritism. it's just the way that that person is, and i think it's part of a much bigger conversation and women's boards and that women in general deal with that. sometimes we find ourselves violence and not being like we can advocate for itself. so it often takes one or 2 to have the courage to come forward that you are, you know, the others come forward and speak up as well. but i think that it's just within the system and so there are people that cover for each other. there are people that

don't have the conference to speak up and all of that continues the cycle for generation after generation. the governing body says reforms will be made. how confident are you with that? i think the fact that even having these conversations with positive because in order for it to be addressed and changed, we have to have people come forward that speak up on it. so i think that it's going to take time, it's not going to happen overnight, as i mentioned it, year that embedded not only from the bell, but it perpetuate down into you words of the story. but i've heard personally from former teammates and, and people that i've grown up with backer, you know, the horror stories that come out. so it's going to take time for really, we'd soccer and work in general, of these type of tactic unprofessional. and just honestly, not right types of treatment. so i think, but players come together with coaches coming together, administered from together to having real conversations,

that there will be some put in place that can help avoid and minimize this type of behavior from a washington. we very much appreciate your time. thank you. around one of brazil's that presidential election produced no clear winner, meaning people will have to head back to the pose of october, 30th for title, contested run off incumbent presidential, both nor did better than pulse projected he took a 43.2 percent of the votes. left this for president, there is nothing that the silver came out on top with 48.4 percent, but fell short of an hour right when about areas, 4th election in 2 years looks to have brought back a former prime minister like myself. but as under simmons, reports from sophia is forcing some bulgarians to make it difficult choices about the future. it's the start of university for these students in sophia,

some of them talk about the stagnation of politics in that country. but there's also a weary acceptance for people who want a better future will leave bulgaria remaining here and having to deal with all of this is usually the hardest past to take. not many people are added to that period . bulgaria, our politician, steal the chief book where left with nothing. the generation politics in bulgaria has been in crisis since major protest last year against corruption. young people played a big part in the demonstrations and the action brought about the fall of a government lead then by boy cope or resolve. and now he's back as party winning the most votes in this election, or is off is seen particularly by the young as a man who represents the past, rather than the future votes in this election,

went in favor of the status quo, rather than change. now, boris off has to try to put together a coalition. it won't be easy because he has far more political enemies than friends. it's during his decade of power, the moon, a 1000000 bulgarians left their homes to seek better living standards overseas. like the owner of this bar and restaurant running a successful business in spain. his customers look on their former home now as a distant place with big problems called one of those please. all of the countries are having difficult just now, and this is because of the war. there is a crisis in every country. not gasper of aria is not good. if i'm honest and back home, many people are just worried about the number leaving bulgaria. it's also those they leave behind, their imagination is much more connected with

a bass them with the future. um, and this is something that will guarantee politics will have to fight. they will have to create conditions for the youngsters to return. also, in order to make their parents and grandparents be buried, that will give you a situ. again, there is a major gap between the young who want change and older people who look back fondly . on the past. andrew simmons al jazeera sophia, the killing of a to the palestinians during a raid by israeli forces of sparked outrage and occupied west bank. 16 other palestinians were arrested overnight. rates were carried out in march. i was on the refugee camp north of ramallah. israel says its soldiers opened far off the palestinians. try to ram them with their. com is abraham reports from jonathan. this is the street where the incident took place. witnesses here tell us that the

israeli forces sought at the car that had 3 palestinians, killing 2 of them, and enduring the 3rd. many palestinians here say that this is called an extra judicial killing. one of the neighbor told us that he was waking up why the sound of heavy shooting. he said that no ambulances were allowed, then, before his railey forces, the rest of the men checked lot her food. in the marks, on my call from the men's court, they probably were scared to see the soldiers. maybe they couldn't control the car . the soldiers were too quick to shoot this as the morning house for the 2 palestinians, the father of one of them, the father of hale. it told me that all 3 of them were working together. they were coming home from work when they were surprised and shocked to see these were the forces. many palestinians here say that there is an increase in trigger happy soldiers, israeli soldiers killing power since they say that.
