2:02 am
her personal email account, but her resignation letter hints at the dysfunction at the heart of list trusses government, it is obvious we're going through eci multi was time. she said, i have concerns about the direction of this government and perhaps a dig at the prime minister's leadership style pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if every one can't see that we've made them and hoping things will magically come right is not serious politics i have made a mistake, i accept responsibility. i resign. a replacement is grant chaps. a recent critic of lives, trotter's policies, and another sign that is new chancellor. jeremy hunt who holds much of the real power in downing street. i except that the gun on this difficult period is german hump said i when he was pointed on on friday, that nonetheless means it's doubly important to ensure that we are doing absolutely everything to in the basic areas. jenny hung on her
2:03 am
a great job and settling the issues relating to that many budget the aftermath of this is bought september 23rd mini budget has left her twisting amidst the wreckage of her unfunded tax cuts, the u. k. economy and her political future. i thought the list here, $45.00 pay tax cut gone. corporation tax cut, got $20.00 pay tax cut. gone to your energy freeze gong, tax, free shopping, dollar economic credibility. ah, aunt, i suppose. best friend, the former chancellor. he's gone. well, they're all gone. so why she's still here, miss baker? i am a fighter, a no. the problem is many of her own, m. p. 's might secretly be wishing he was a bit more of a quitter. it would save them the headache of ousting their 2nd prime minister in
2:04 am
less than 6 months poles, a screaming of the conservative party that they at least trust, profoundly unpopular victorian peas haven't worked out yet. what to do about it. i think it's absolutely clear that this trust is not currently the good part in the next general election. the question is, how seen the end comes? and frankly, it would have already happened if the party come with a mechanism to make sure they could replace it with somebody who is palatable to the m p. 's and somebody who could unite all sides of the party have not been able to do that. so she still left new figures show inflation for the year to september . is 10 point one percent economic woes. many of them of the government's own making continue to mount. and so what a brave man's departure has more chaos to an executive and a party that seems increasingly unable to govern where each ellen's how to 0. well,
2:05 am
the kale for the government didn't end with broadman resignation. later on wednesday they were allegations of bullying against some conservative m. p. 's during a vote on fracking. my colleague andrew simmons, but your british labor party m. p l con. he says it was shambolic days for the trust government. this is such a mad day. one thing after another, you could see how the government was really coming and off the same head. they just didn't know what they were coming or going. you started the day, you've seen the prime minister again, the grilling the prime minister got she just couldn't cope with that. and then you've see this how you ended up with ashley losing the home sector as well. so we've had the treasure side going than the home factory side going as well. and the reason why she went again is a very important i think that the security point of is very important for this country. and then you come to tonight's ward, which was about fracking and the confidence in the prime minister. and how you got to a situation where the vips were actually physically, almost pushing people of intimidating people to make sure they told the government
2:06 am
line. you can see how this the unraveling and this is not a government in any sort of order at all. well, let's bring in jeremy corbin, he's a former leader of the labor party though he's currently suspended from the parliamentary party. john just live from north london. jamie corbin good. happy with us. wow. what a day. it's been. we've seen a day of chaos at the heart of government. the home secretary quit and conservative . m p. 's. i mean term all over this fracking, but all this comes as, you know, just days off the chancellor sat. what's your take on all this political chaos is unprecedented, isn't it? well, it's a government in complete chaos. where from one mom is another. you don't even know the ministers are charged. the exchequer has changed several times. the home secretary has just been replaced, and the prime ministers apparently had a very large number of letters sent in by conserve to them piece. you can decide future saying they want her to go. so it is a government in chaos,
2:07 am
but i'd prefer to look slightly beyond the parliamentary assessor that's going on. now. the reality is that inequality in britain is deeper than ever before. poverty, homelessness, hunger are increasing amongst forest people. and the government has refused to say whether it will even raise the social security benefits in line with inflation. and there are big wage disputes going on in all the major industries. and so there is a social cohesion dimension to this. and so i think we should realize that what the government is actually he's fighting to address these issues. well let's, let's stay with those points. mr. corbin, if you can, because most polls suggest that if we had an election now that labor would win by an historic landslide, but wouldn't care storm or the bill i believe just be taking on the poison chalice . i mean, as you say, you can, inflation, is it
2:08 am
a 40 year high people are struggling under the cost of living as gas prices spyro. and we could even see rolling power blackouts this winter. so how would a labor government handle things differently? do you think? well, how a labor government should handle things very differently would be one to control energy prices by taking the energy companies into public ownership and also work internationally to try to control global energy prices. supplies because the poorest countries of suffering the most as they did in previous energy crises like 1974 and so on. secondly, there is a question of raising benefits and raising wages and the, it's not wages or benefits. of course, inflation is excessive profits on the export of many of those profits to tax havens around the world. and so it is a question of how far the government is going to go in actually controlling
2:09 am
a market conroy. and so it's going to be running government coming in, but you cannot go on with this situation any longer. let's talk about the political system if we can. i mean, just a few months ago, the conservative party got rid of boris johnson live trust was voted in by party member, but wasn't the favorite of the parliamentary party, richie sooner was yet she is now the primary domain, the intention seemed democratic enough, jeremy, but it's all become a bit of a nightmare. a broader question is the u. k. political system broken? it is not a good political system because it gives far too much power to parliamentary caucuses to decide things as they are doing at the present time. as indeed is an issue within the labor party. entered aid, all political parties. but it's also, i think of failure of british media as well to report seriously on political issues. they tend to go far more theater and mama than the reality origin
2:10 am
. many people feel very just disconnected from what is happening in westminster and hence the anger that's their over cost to living. but also the growth of the far right. not just in britain, law across europe because of this disconnect from politics. it offers hope to people. okay. how much is this got to do with briggs? do you think this current crisis in government? because briggs, it is an issue that's divided and polarized the conservative party. we are now left with this small kind of right wing. narrow torri party is briggs. that to blame for the crisis, not totally know, breaks it or what the happened breaks it has gone on personally, i think we could and should have made a trade agreement with europe even outside the european union. that was certainly possible. the government has said instead, it wants to do one off trade deals with countries all around the world that hasn't
2:11 am
really worked. and so there is an economic problem. but it's basically a political problem that the government has got in these incapable of managing the economy with, with doing the things that are necessary, such as raising taxation for the very richest we have this frankly absurd idea. kwasic heart sang not so long ago, which was to reduce the tax rates to the richest people in order to make them even richer on the basis that their wells would then trickle down to the poorest when it's never happened anywhere else. or why no student ma'am here, and the government has now changed course on that and promises us a new budget on the 31st. but when pressed by me and many others this last week about whether or not that it means raising benefits and wages, which obviously would help the living standards of many people, they refuse to give any commitment on that. so all right, just
2:12 am
a final thoughts you, mr. corbin, i mean there's severe skepticism in the financial markets about the economic credibility of a u. k. government. many observers say it's it's, it's the markets that are deciding government policy. and a good example of that was the one you just touched on, which was the government, you turn a corporation tax, what's your take on how confident the markets are in live trust and her economic policies? i don't think they're very confident at all because when the quarter proposed his tax cuts for the high earners, he also said this was going to be paid for by borrowing. well, nobody would seriously put that forward as a sensible or intelligent policy that you borrow in order to create greater inequality, even the wealthiest thought this was just embarrassing. and so the question of sense and competence is not there. clearly, markets have not much confidence in this government. i would prefer this government
2:13 am
to be judged on its appalling treatment of the worst, often the poorest within our society. they are not pleasing anybody at the present time, and i can't think that mistrust is gonna last very long yet. i minister that's i was just about to touch on that jeremy just in terms of throwing forward what happened next? i'm, you know, what happens next is a list just as days numbered less trust is going off, is a very short time. she seems to have enormous difficulty in keeping ministers in office. never mind gaining confidence of the public or anybody else. i suspect her days are pretty number and i would say that her appointment is of jeremy hunt as john seeks jack or something. she may rue the day because i'm quite confident that at some point he will be challenging her to be prime minister. and it might be very so trying to cope and really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much and have a talking to our to 0. thank you. you're very welcome. thank you. now,
2:14 am
russian president vladimir putin has announced he's imposing martial law in the 4 regions. moscow has claimed its antics from ukraine. it comes off to a string of miniature defeats for russian troops. this month, mohammed vow reports from moscow president vladimir, put in his word, signalled a new phase of russia's war in ukraine, formalizing what he said was pre existing military rule in the next regions of vignettes clue, hans parisha and her son. each of them. yeah, pretty much i signed a decree on the introduction of marshal and these 4 entities of the russian federation. it will be immediately sent to the federation council for approval of putting on for established local army headquarters and a special coord mission council in the region. under the leadership of russia, the prime minister, the decree comes among the threats of a new offensive by the ukrainian armed forces and then extensive washing operation to move tens of thousands of people from half on to the other bank of the day,
2:15 am
probably for. they are told it's to protect them from ukrainian shelling, but it was, it was, it was not as new that is going to any recognition that the piece will population that charged us to the level of interest for their vision. it's close 4 or 7 beers through all directions and all crosses and dawson, law, the decrease means the waste and can now become compulsory. and the policies can impose any measures they see fit, including restricting public life, or forcing people to join the army. the villian industries and services can also be used for military purposes. so, and the new commander of rational peroration in ukraine said k. so we can acknowledge the situation is difficult for russian forces and said what he called painful measures might be required for washing army. how suffered, major defeats and eastern i'm father ukraine since early september. it's not clear
2:16 am
what undeclared measures. the new phase might include in terms of tactics or types of weapons. the russia, my deploy to reverse those defeats had gone. i'll just see moscow. yes, president joe biden says putins moss law decree is an attempt to intimidate ukrainian citizens. i think vladimir prudence finds himself in an incredibly difficult position. and what it reflects to me is seems his only tool available to him is to brutalize individual citizens in ukraine. ukraine citizens to try to intimidate them in to capitulate. they're not going to do that. so let's look at the air is that russia struggling to hold on to? well, it's forces have been driven back up to 30 kilometers along the geneva river. the

ukranian army has destroyed 2 major road bridges across the waterway, cutting off russian supply lines. harrison is key partly because the region forms the mainland route to the crimean peninsula, that russia seized in 2014. while the ukrainian army says its counter offensive has slowed in recent days, bout is preparing for a renewed, pushed towards the city of castleton. charles stratford reports from the frontline village of shen cove. the order to go is received. they have to move falls from the cover of trees. we follow this near 60 year old soviet built grad rocket launcher to a firing position. in coming russian shells to our left 22 year old ukrainian soldier, roman lines up the weapon. ah, trying to meditate firing of positions near cares on city. they admit that their
2:18 am
counter offensive is slowed down in recent days. one of the reasons they say is because the russians are heavily dug in, in full to fight positions. opened the book up and the book. we have to fall back fast. russian forces can get a fix on a foreign position and respond in around 3 minutes. craning artillery far over our heads up, russian forces were spawned. the shells land in a field behind the ukrainian commander tells us they are preparing for an advance on the russian occupied city of get some more participants in is what they akira rivera. the fortified position that the enemy have established are concrete. and they have a minimum of 3 lines of defense. renee, we are in high spirits, but we are lacking equipment to move forward. so we are accumulating the hardware from our international partners i and then we will advance because we are trying to
2:19 am
protect our soldiers and appa paid for us, or the russian army should not be underestimated to which chill roman, joined the ukrainian army 4 years ago. a fool barrels of the rocket system he operates, lacks precision, but can cover an area 600 meters square. russian forces useless weapon to live with. and when i go into fire, i keep a positive mindset, and i am not afraid we are because if we panic, we will not achieve our aim. the hedge rows and tree lines north of course, on city of full of ukrainian soldiers, not hillary positions. the men here say small russian recognizance teams regularly try and push forward. ah, they are digging new trenches, not ever vigilant for russian drugs above with hardly a night policies without attacks by russian missiles, all so called camera called the drones killing or injuring civilians in the closest

frontline city of nikolai of it's a miracle. no one was killed when a russian missile hit this flower market. and the center of town is here. you have the wall. the russians expect me to headlamp of these, but they fight these feelings. yeah, i don't want to feel hate. i have no desire for their homes to be destroyed, but i want all who came here and occupied my country to be killed. ukrainians, hank head south towards her san, where an evacuation of civilians is believed to have begun. tossed off with al jazeera ship, shinkel bay, some new grain. meanwhile, the un security council has disgust alleged iranian arm sales to russia. ukraine accuses moscow using iranian drones to carry out reasoned attacks. but iran denies selling the weapons and russia denies using them. our diplomatic editor james base reports from the u. n. in new york. fear on the streets of kiva early this week
2:21 am
is once again the ukrainian capital comes under attack by so called suicide drones . officially, both russia and iran say iranian drones and not being used in the aerial bombing campaign. but photographic evidence seems to contradict that. these pictures experts say show a shaheed, 136, a drone, only manufactured by iran that is lethal, but also relatively cheap, costing about $20000.00 apiece. the u. k. u. s. and france, believe the sale of a rainy and drones and they use and ukraine is a breach resolution $2231.00 which endorsed the 2015 iran nuclear deal. we want to clarify the situation on this use of iranian drones in the ukraine, and it seems to be crystal clear that it's a violation of resolution $2231.00, endorsing the juicy buick,
2:22 am
the j c. p away or iran nuclear deal between iran and the so called p 5 plus one the u. s. u k, france, germany, russia and china includes a provision for something called snap back. if iran is not complying, any other participating nation could force all the previous un sanctions to snap back into place. but one experts is that some measure western nations will be reluctant to take. now the risk of snapping back sanctions over an issue that is not directly related to iran's nuclear program is that iran has threatened that it would not only withdraw from the nuclear deal. it would also withdraw from the nonproliferation treaty. and of course, the last country that did that was north korea in 2003. and we know how that story ended. ukraine is recovered. drones had been shot down and was written to the un urging that inspection teams are now sent to examine them. but russia's deputy ambassador strongly objected to that idea. we hold that the secretariat and the
2:23 am
secretary general himself will not again violate the decisions of the union un security council. and will not go beyond their technical mandate and will abstain from engaging in early any legitimate investigation. otherwise, we'll, we'll have to reassess our collaboration with them. he wouldn't elaborate on that somewhat ominous warning and didn't completely rule out a link with the deal to export ukrainian grain which was agreed last summer and has to be extended within the next month. james space al jazeera at the united nations . now cut off by flood waters, people living in nigeria as bales. the state are suffering shortages of food and fuel. the government says that shipping in supplies from neighboring states to ease the hardship of nearly a 1000000 and a half people are committed to supports from yoga by also status cut off from the rest of nigeria and fuel and foot supplies of stopped
