better working conditions. 3rd, worried about the cost of living and inflation. i spoke a bit earlier to real work alex. he was on the try to train, i can say just outside the house. and he told us a bit more about why you did decide to come out on the strike that we have organized today. it depends on relies on 2 factors. the 1st one is that we are all struggling with the rising cost of living and the wages that are not following up and keeping pace with inflation. despite the fact that profits a huge profit are being made at the back of our work. and we were just to claiming our fair share, the wealth we collectively produce. so that's where we on the strike, that's where we are struck today. and the 2nd aspect, which is at least as important as the 1st thing i mention, is that our comrades in the refineries we've been on strike for almost one months now, which i'd like to massive. all shortages in the, in the petrol stations across the country are struggling and fighting for high
7:04 pm
wages. and the government has issued a back to work order for a few select handful handpicked workers. and i force them to go back to work or setting them with fines or imprisonment. and as such, this is an attack on a right to strike those no doubt that the people that we have spoken to today, the protesters say they will continue to demonstrate until they get mom a gun. i have to say that public opinion slipping away was very strong in paper. a people really understand the life is a difficult to the moment with their vehicle. we've seen opinions both suggest now the people really want the refineries, the head. they want things to get back to normal, and i imagine that's what the government is really hoping for as well. french

message about macro just on monday for, for them to the book, a full size to really have together the british prime minister less trust. it's fighting to hold on to a job after being forced to make a u turn on her economic policy. on monday, her new finance minister, jeremy had said that he was scrapping almost all previously announced kat tax cuts . trust held a cabinet meeting at downing street early on tuesday. she's been accused of running scared after she failed to address parliament. andrew simmons joseph's now live from westminster in london, and andrew were hearing that big spending cuts were discussed in cabinet. what more do we know? well, the asked list for us, sir. open the meeting. as you can imagine, one would expect a pretty grim atmosphere in that meets again. she said that it was at things moved too quickly and not enough detail was put into all of the measures at
7:06 pm
taken um. but moved on from there was an outlining by the chancellor again on what he was doing about saving money. because something like $35000000000.00 have been saved so far by reversing all of less trust in his trust is that tax cuts and other measures. and now he has to actually find many more $1000000000.00 to try to pay off the black hole to actually men that black hole of over spending and nothing is ruled out. he may clear that times are going to be really tough. and he's looking at things such as the pension system, which is linked to inflation. those rises could be put completely out of the picture. that's a possibility. also the energy price guarantee, which was to run a 2 years is only going to run up to april. at furthermore,
7:07 pm
defense spending there are plans for billions and billions of dollars to be paid in with a 3 percent of gross domestic product right up until 2030. that could be affected, and the lights of what's going on and ukraine right now is going to cause great consternation, particularly, obviously in the ministry of defense here. there are the cuts as well. and really what the essence of it is that the markets might be calm, but the political crisis with the prime ministers future at stake and the popularity tanking of this government now sees labor with a lead, the biggest lead in 25 years as 36 point lead it and suggested by one of the opinion, polls recently. so there is more trouble ahead. this crisis is by no means over in the crisis. as you just touched on, does sort of focus on the prime minister. she had a great deal of pressure. she apparently says that she wants to stay in office until the next election, but what are the chances?
7:08 pm
well, it's very hard to gauge a one. m p has said that sir, if there was someone coming forward as a caretaker prime minister right now, and she'd be gone in a heartbeat, quote unquote, that's the sort of feeling in many parts of the government. still, there is a lot of debate going on, not just within her government about how they move forward, but also ride the way across the party. it's very splintered right now and what you have going on is the one nation, a conservative. this is a grouping center ground, a grouping. they have had conversations with the prime minister on monday. and basically they're very upset obviously, but they're making at the point that she needs to take on bigger hitters within the government. at the moment. she's surrounded by her own supporters. she's got to take in some experience and not necessarily people who've supported her in the
7:09 pm
leadership challenge. but she's got to take on experienced people if she's got to stand any chance of holding her own. but long term. the feeling is right, the quest way across the board, including some of her own supporters that she should really go because she's been so humiliated. and she is really just a shadow of jeremy hunt. her chancellor, who is by the way or one nation, tory under simmons in london. thanks very much for the updates. let's move to ethiopia. our government forces has captured 3 towns in the northern t gray region. the government says a strategic town of shire, along with matter and corum were taken without fighting their binaries. the pin foreign ministry says it's all ready to work with humanitarian organizations to ensure aid is delivered to areas controlled by. it's all me, well, fighting between pro government forces integrated rebels resumed in august, both sides the keys, each other of breaking a 5 month truce, covered in his r as
7:10 pm
a member of ethiopia, parliament, and an assistant professor. all social anthropology, an artist at the university enjoys me now from the capital, and mister t, as i could have you with us live on al jazeera, you off on the government benches, you are a sitting and p. so i have to really ask you as far as your concerned is a peace process or talks even possible, despite the ongoing conflict that where seeming to report from in the north thank you for having gimme out there and regarding your question, then the one thing that i should make clear is that and i can app you on on, on the basis of my research background and, and from the point of my assessment on the northern part. so if he took badges and the director related to my position as a member of parliament, having said this, and the government is, i think according to my understanding of the very committed enough to resolve the
7:11 pm
conflict in the north, there's a sort of political mythical danica through a broker the process and, and right even before the launch is that the launching of the pro site of the government. it's what the time and again it talk to the international community. mr . to sorry, i'm sorry. i mean, i can't hear you. i'm sorry to interrupt. i know there is a slight delay on the line, but how come the government talk about wanting a piece still wanting to talk when there is an ongoing conflict and then seems to be no 3rd party involved, at least to try and get all sides around the table to talk the government is very complicated by the way, it's not due to the intention of a to can document that the water delivery low into africa member. and as other international committee said, on august 24, it was the war was connected by the fact that it was very much committed. it was
7:12 pm
the, you know, the people that expanded into the market and then it should be friendly to london. it should be that particular of why it's just conducting that defending the regular position of till the money, the very open for peace deadlock to to put into the process. but any governmental as you can understand that it was it violation international a production by other parties into the somebody still be on so it's not defending the total you know, the into it, the integrity of that is the point. you know why depending on that satisfied it is still committed enough to end the war. so peaceful way didn't close the door for ending the company was i think like one might think like that we would expect that sort of response from government sides. you might say, but at the end of the day, we are also seeing you talk about integrity of ethiopia. but there are a retrained troops supporting the government troops. and this is also the
7:13 pm
reason that to grind troops off. i think we have reached out to them. we continue to reach out for comment. but at the moment, if you're talking about inter integral you're in tech, all suffering board is being respected. why do you need, or why does the government need ever trained troops to help help fight it's battle . for someone who said that it ran out an invalid wood into the land, i don't know why, according to my understanding, it is an internal affair between the federal government and the c panel. so, you know, it's pretty quick about no hearing from the side is that a parents are involved. but according to my understanding, this is intended for me the most, it will make it international rather than and it's an affair than to get the attention from the international community. my understanding is can give, is that there's one mass of someone from the top of ethiopia. is it a bit when the war is a bit when the federal government in there that,
7:14 pm
that the left side? so yeah. even, even if you access the, you know, the, you know, they are on the other side. but it's no one isn't a computer mean we have no heating from the international community, another community, and we are hitting for the benefit for me, this kind of, you know, making the war international. the motivated little, you know, it's kind of politically motivated than what has been going on the ground. so for me, in the, what if the violet could apply? i think for me from our historically, you know, last time we probably mom, but i remember we took them in a national defense for gun don't should don't that's crossing so, but anything, mr. can i just trying to pin that? i just jumped into the un secretary general, i'm going to jump in with them because already, sorry, you do have the right to to respond. but the, the un secretary general, it's very concerned as are many african neighbors around your neighborhood about what's going on. let me just talk about quote, that's come out today from,
7:15 pm
from the government to saying that it wants to take control on strategic of just teaching infrastructure in the north of the country, controlled by to grow and forces. that's going to be a very tough battle. but that quote is coming from the government. yeah, the government should control every part of europe. yeah. later on, you know, egypt and what i meant is defended to control the boundary to that right from the northern part of it. but it's in the southern to the north that is up to the government responsibilities and other parts of it to figure out if seen a part of it. yeah. so we are a no contract. what advancing into that, but different parts of the good i not to attack one or another. so effective rather to make sure that if you have been somebody said, if you're to buy it forces, ok, well we'll see what happens. it's good to have your time and thank you very much for joining us from addis ababa still had head on out there as well as price on the ukrainian capital. keep targeting major
7:16 pm

7:17 pm
and probably southern sumatra are still going to be where, which is seasonally correct north. all this the incoming season, the ne monsoon, which we'll see throughout the winter, is just showing itself now. but still part of a circulation in this direction means it's high pressure, settled weather for all of charter, more or less. the triplets for japan. clearly there is rain coming from the southwest to china, from that dying storm and temperatures have dropped. but without much wind, i think it's still good. you'll see a rise of couple degrees, which is consistent with the whole of the year. so far dry weather is coming in for india, pakistan, the paul and bangladesh as the monson trough is withdrawing. so have you res. liked being carolyn, tumble modern sri lanka. we have got snow coming into the far north of pakistan in the next day or so to with sponsored by catalog aways. the wait for the will come is meily as the main event gets closer. i'll just hear every step of the way. so i'm going to go with one month to go. we focus on asian
