8:01 pm
. we are a country that funds are promises and pays our debts. the u. k is new finance minister faces questions in parliament as he presents plans to reverse parts of a controversial economic package. ah, hello, i'm having to think of this is ally from the also coming up. drones strikes have ukraine's capital key if the president lensky says, the attacks will not break. ukrainian. government says it will seize airports and other federal buildings in t grey, but it's committed to talks to resolve the conflict. the fight to stamp out child marriage is a campaign is launched in india, which has the largest number of young brides in the world.
8:02 pm
ah another you case new finance minister has presented his economic plan to members of parliament. it includes reversing nearly all his predecessors. proposals, the government you turn announced by jeremy hunt, comes off to his food assessor was fired last week con, confirm that people will receive support to pay the energy bills. but only until april we are a country that funds are promises and pays. and when that is questioned, as it has been, this government will take the difficult decisions necessary to ensure there is trust and confidence in our national finances. that mean decisions of i watering difficulties. let's bring an anti simmons now who is in a westminster for us. andrew and hunters now outlined his plans to parliament. so
8:03 pm
what sort of reaction was he getting well, he got a reaction which was really quite fiercely comparative. for as far as the opposition were concerned of the labor party outlining that said this was a no one was talking of spending cuts before the many budget crash. the economy was one line taken by the shadow chancellor, the shadow 5 minutes, fire finance minister. that is a rachel reeves, he had outlined for the 2nd time on monday, how he was reversing in a radical way all of the promises that his prime minister live truss had made. and it was very convincing, in terms of a determination to cut back and of course, he went through a whole series of things. he talked about short term difficulties. he talked about
8:04 pm
difficult decisions. he was basically spelling out austerity. there's no doubt about it rather than what his trust described as a tax. cutting a government that would actually also improved spending and grow the economy. now he, he did not criticize her, but it was evident from what he was saying that this was a whole new approach at the main center to all of it was actually cut the cut to income tax that was planned. the basic rate income tax, which was supposed to been reduced from 20 percent to it's from 20 percent to 19 percent. he's killed that completely. it was going to be deferred, possibly a, by a year at one stage, but that has now been killed completely. so he is come up with this plan and it has been largely accepted by the markets of the pound is doing better against the dollar. and government borrowing costs have lowered and he will now go about
8:05 pm
more, more moves to actually save money. he wants all government departments to come up with efficiency plans because he's got to find something like another $30000000000.00 to actually cover the black holes in the economy right now. and to andrew, we also heard earlier from the labor lead, a kiss, darma. what did he say? will he he was so demanding that so the prime minister list trust should come before the house of commons to answer his question about why quasi quite thing. the last finance minister, the chancellor was i was actually sat 4 days ago now the response from that was that know the prime minister couldn't answer those questions. penny mordant, the leader of the house was that do so, and this is what was said by the labor leader. once you
8:06 pm
crash the car, a 100 miles an hour, you've damaged it for good and you're going to be paying much more on your insurance for years to come. and it's working. people who will play left wondering if they can afford to stay in their homes. if their hopes of owning a home haven't already been crock. yeah. so now it's time for leaders to lead. yeah . yeah. but where is the prime in? yes. hi, going away. don't you question scared of our own shadow. the lady is not returning . ah. well as dross actually was in the chamber she eventually she came in and she didn't say anything. she didn't contribute anything to the proceedings which were pretty raucous at times. and as she was standing by a jeremy hunt sitting by, shall i say, as he set out up the quote total undoing of lids. truss and her policies.
8:07 pm
so she is seen as the one with less power than her chancellor. now, those serious questions more serious than they were about her status, about her credibility and how she can survive. all right, to and use them as life 1st, there in westminster, thanks. and at least 4 people had been killed and 16 injured in drone strikes on ukraine's capital. official say keith was struck several times and an early morning attacked by russian forces using drones, cities, mass as they hit the central shaft. jenkin ski district. that same area was shelled by russia last week. mamma june is in chaos. it's so common fact a neighbourhood that we're in right now that i'm actually over looking at the moment. a children's playground with their kids playing on slides and swings. that really gives you a sense of how quickly things change here and keep it was just early this morning
8:08 pm
that our team was awakened by the air raid sirens that were sounding out throughout the city. we were looking up at the sky at different points and seeing those kamikaze drones trying to hit targets. then we'd hear the rat a tat tat 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, clinch 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 were 3 people killed in attacks on the sumi o blast region that's on the border with russia. now at the moment,
8:09 pm
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 drone strikes to day. but you have officials that have tried to ease people's concerns saying that even though some facilities were damage, the power grid is up and running. yes, there were power outages and hundreds of villages, but they say that everything should be back on line and back to normal. within the coming hours, i have forces from across nato are taking part in the alliances annual nuclear exercise jewels involve 14 countries and up to 60 aircraft. they will conduct training flights over belgium as well as the north sea and the u. k. meanwhile, russia is holding its own annual nuclear drain drills, which usually take place in late. october. natasha butler has more from powers at the nato defense ministers meeting in brussels in stoughton. but those said that
8:10 pm
nato would certainly not cancel these exercises this year. and in fact, it would not be a good thing to do. so it would send the wrong message. he said to moscow at this particular different difficult time when russia has been stepping off its rhetoric, when it comes to a threat about using nuclear weapons. we've heard a lot for moscow about that. we know that the nato lion says that it's taking those threat very seriously. indeed, it is working them closely at this point. the line says that it really feels a threat some more about trying to deter western powers from taking part in this conflict. there's less, as i said, being looked at very seriously. in fact, the us defense secretary lloyd austin, said, any nuclear strike by russia would receive a response from ukraine's allies. he didn't exactly say what it would be that it would be a physical response. we then heard a little bit later from the french presidency. michael, michael,
8:11 pm
think almost contradict him. i know micro saying that the allies would not use a nuclear weapon against any nuclear strike by russia, but he wasn't totally clear about exactly what would happen. nevertheless, it's important to note that france is not part of the operation. steadfast noon is not part of these exercises. even though france is one of the 3 nuclear powers in the lines along with the u. s. and the u. k. but fraud is not part of nato nuclear deterrent. tiny group. elizabeth bro, is a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. she joins us live now from washington. d. c. to talk more about this. thanks very much for being with us. now as we were saying, these are annual drills that the nato and the russians regularly conduct. but of course they've taken on much greater significance with the war in ukraine. and that's part of the reason that we're talking to you just just talk through what
8:12 pm
we should be looking for here. yes, as you say, these exercises take place every year and surprisingly, so because if you've got nuclear weapons, you've got to exercise how you would be using them. otherwise you will lose those skills. but obviously what has changed in the past 6 months or so as rushes signaling or the signaling by by some russian officials that russia may be willing to use, prepared to use nuclear weapons against ukraine. and so, as these exercises, we usually take place without much public interest at all, are now suddenly extremely interesting. and they are interesting not just for, for nato to watch what the russians are doing and vice versa, but also for the general public and ukraine. and indeed for all of us, because if the nuclear weapon is used somewhere, it clearly would mean risk escalation that would involve all of us. but
8:13 pm
we should also remember that that exercises are mandy, that it doesn't mean that these either side is more or less many to use and if your weapon, but it does count against the background of russia being willing to use nuclear weapons. and is there any significance in these exercises taking place at the same time the release and it says, these sorts of things are all mil, if exercises are scheduled long in advance. but i think what, what is really crucial to be watching it this year is what the russians do. now they are not very transparent about the military exercise ever. so it's, it's not very easy to decide what exactly they practice. but i think what we should all be trying to, to get some sort of clarity about is what sort of nuclear weapons they are involving in this exercise. and that comes against the background of russia having developed a so called a low yield nuclear warhead over the past few years. so, but,
8:14 pm
but some people who call the men in yuke that is less powerful than, than traditional nuclear weapons that have been used or have been developed in the past. and so what is really important established is how russia might think about this, this weapon, and how much is it? and of course, that is what the ukrainians have worried about, that the russians will use a sore nuclear weapon there. and then what happens? but that's why it's so important watches exercise to see exactly what it see, at least with some sort of clarity. but what the rush has may have in mind, even though they don't say or show very much what are the implications of this beyond the immediate conflict in ukraine to the rest of the world? well, so that there are 2 implications. one is that a nuclear war, which was such a, a, an unlikely scenario for so many years. indeed one for more than 3 decades. all of
8:15 pm
a sudden that is something that is, that is not totally unlikely anymore. and that is a radical change really from the year, from the, from the lives we have been living now for, for 3 decades. and the other thing is that and this sounds like a very technical things, but insurance policies for industry all over the world, including aviation have only thought about one or that there is only one kind of nuclear conflict mentioned in those new insurance policies. and that is a global nuclear conflict. and if one that means that if one nuclear weapon is used against ukraine, that means that insurance poses on non void for the most part. so for example, a global aviation would be hosted as something to bear in mind. it doesn't mean that the russia will use these exercises for something like that, but it does mean that we have to pay really close attention to what they may have
8:16 pm
in mind because it is something that will affect not just the people who might be affected, your credit, but the whole way, globalization is set up. good to get your analysis, elizabeth brown in washington. thanks being how the easy open government says it is aiming to take control of airports and other critical infrastructure in the northern te grey region. the african union has called for an immediate cease fire, often escalation in violence of fighting resumed in august between the t gray rebels and government forces ending a ceasefire. that had lasted several months. negotiations which were scheduled in south africa last week, failed to take place. you and chief antonio, good tennis has repeated calls for the warring parties to resume talks. to end the fight, the situation in it, your peer is spilling out of control, violence and destruction. averaged alarming levels. the social fabric is
