5:03 pm
a share of the economy over the medium term, what will is ball the politics and the economies? this decision jehovah will be outside the bank of england to under simmons joins us live from westminster, where it's all happening a little bit later. jeremy hunt due to address parliament to the next hour or so. any sign of the prime minister? well a surprise because as for the 1st time in this 4 day crisis after the sacking of quasi crossing of the finance minister, the chancellor of the exchequer, after that finally the opposition has the opportunity to as ask questions in the house of commons behind me. and they didn't care storm of the late libra, of a late a labor party insisted he wanted the prime minister less trust to explain why she made that sacking. and he would most certainly have laid into the prime minister, but she's not going to do it. no, the lever of the house penny mordant has explained that the government has the
5:04 pm
right to put any minister up and she is a government voice that can speak. so the leader of the house will actually address the questions from the leader of the opposition. expect raucous scenes in the house over this because sir, care st armor will certainly be demanding to know what's been going on. why the sort of tax cutting measures were given credence and why no one stopped the situation of why the markets went into the spin. the chaos they were in and why jeremy hunt was brought in and seems to be the man in power right now. this truss had been in checkers the a country estates of got of the prime minister over the weekend and has not been seen or heard publicly. she is apparently addressing at the center isda of one nation grouping's in the conservative party with an in an attempt to get some
5:05 pm
support there. but she is fighting for her job. it's been down to the chancellor. she appointed a who, jeremy hunt, who's been outlining his plan and has actually revive the market, so to speak. he certainly improved the value of the pound and lowered government borrowing costs by our raw masters measures an immense amount of you turns all in one bag. there is the main part of it. would that seem to be the cuts in base rate in contacts which was meant to go from down from 20 percent to 19 percent under under less trust his plans are that's now being stopped. there's not been a situation whereby it's been deferred, it's actually been cut, put out of the, the equation altogether. so we have a situation now where even that move wasn't going to be made by a penny a,
5:06 pm
by less trusses main opponent, rou, she's pretty soon act or the former chancellor when she was up against him and one he, even, he didn't want to go that far as so basically what you have is, is a prime minister made all these promises and one her, one her position as prime minister by putting out a raft of measures which of course chaos for the country. they brought the conservative party way away from its reputation as being steward of the u. k. economy. it is certainly a situation that's really putting her position under great threat. and the fear is now that there will be a move on her. this government is, is particularly this good at actually getting rid of prime ministers when they fail . but, you know, 6 weeks in this is, this is disastrous for her in, in a situation where she cannot really fight back. and she can't call this raft of measures which jeremy hunters announced a she can't call it her own because he,
5:07 pm
she appointed him to try and rescue her. but he's rescuing the economy. but it doesn't look like he could rescue the prime minister or a bessie picture and westminster. let's go straight away to the bank of england in london. the journalist any by there said this is a political crisis. generous, never keeps on rolling. how. how does the city view, how the chance the finance minister, the new finance minister has responded so far? well, the markets are still in positive territory. they opened, indeed the day it positive territory, the pound shooting up and got my foreign costs down largely in anticipation of that statement from the new jobs which was delivered at 11 am local time. and the optimism in the markets did not go unrewarded. as jeremy hunt outlined an entire so to economic fiscal policy reversal on the many budget that had been issued weeks ago by quasi quad tech designed in lock step,
5:08 pm
of course with less trust that went down like a lead balloon. with the markets. a vision of grows so called low taxes paid for with public borrowing at a time of high inflation and jeremy hunt, as indeed andrew was outlining their essentially brought in is the new chancellor to steady the ship to rescue the public finances. and he outlined his plan to do so, and in doing so completely combusted the what remained, almost all of what remained. of the quieting these trust original budget plans have gone. as andrew said, was the basic cutting the basic tax rate. got the dividends. tax cut gone changes to freelance earnings, also the alcohol due to cut that free shopping, leaving nothing but 2 or 3 elements of the plan. still standing, it would save the extract that he said $32000000000.00 pounds a year. the office for budget responsibility is since calculated there is still a gap of some 28000 that needs to be filled. 1000000000 rather that needs to be
5:09 pm
filled. and jeremy hunt said that they would be public sector cuts to come to try and do that. and there was another crucial element to his announcement. good news for the markets, very bad news for his trust because he also took into the energy price kept, which was the other half of that original many budget with 60000000000 pounds. the government's attempt to shield households from soaring energy costs capping costs put unit costs for 2 years. he will not only guarantee that for 6 months with a review to come next april. that really, that was the only thing left standing to which this trust could put her name to and indeed has done repeatedly over the last week or so in defense of her position that now taken away as well, leaving her credit. but credibility, really in tatters, are joining folks about general, the bank of england in london. at least 4 people have been killed in 16 injured in drain strikes and ukraine's capital official say keith was struck several times and

5:11 pm
playing on slides and swings, that really give you a sense of how quickly things change here and keep. it was just early this morning that our team was awakened by the air raid sirens that were sounding out throughout the city. we were looking at the sky at different points and seeing those kamikaze drones trying to hit targets. then we'd hear the rad attached hat sound coming from the air different systems. they were trying to shoot those, those drones down for people confirmed it killed in keys on that happened in a residential building that was badly damaged as a result of those drone strikes in the center of the city where the attacks took place. and the mayor of the city of italy, cliff co, he said that one of the victims was an elderly lady, a resident of that building. and the 2 other the victims were a married couple, a man and a woman who was 6 months pregnant. so a certainly a very tragic news for the residents of that building. we've also heard that there
5:12 pm
were 3 people killed in attacks on the sumi o blast region that's on the border with russia. now at the moment, there are some concerns that this could affect the power grid in the country because local officials have said that there were many critical infrastructure targets in different cities and regions that were targeted by these drones strikes to day. but you have officials that have tried to ease people's concerns saying that even though some facilities were damaged, the power grid is up and running. yes, there were power outages and hundreds of villages, but they say that everything should be back online and back to normal within the coming hours. you great presidential officers, kamikaze drains struck cave. they are called kamikaze. is that designed to hit behind enemy lines are also destroyed in the attack. the small unmanned aircraft carrier exposes, can cause drains run like traditional, larger and fast military jones that return to base often launching missiles without the zeros defense. unless alice could topless earlier in the explain how these

weapons work. kamikaze drones are a very exciting name for what is i loitering initial. so launching munitions, so range of munitions at one end or they can loiter literally, hover above the battlefield, identify an enemy tank or an enemy position, a nose dive into it, destroying it. now the other end, they are virtually cruise missiles, so they can travel a long distance and strike their target. hundreds of kilometers inland, very much like we've seen here in keep to day and other irregular part of russia's arsenal. no, they're not russia, hers being behind in developing a low end tactical drones, especially armed ones. it sir, cruise missiles and missiles have been used up significantly in the battle for ukraine and it's running low. and now these were high end, high value, extremely accurate, but also very expensive,
