5:03 pm
great economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of breaks it. i recognized though, given the situation, i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. i have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him that i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. this morning i met the chairman of the 1922 committee sir graham brady. we've agreed that the will be a leadership election to be completed within the next week. this will ensure that we remain on a path to deliver all fiscal plans, a maintain our country's economic stability, a national security. i will remain as prime minister until a successor has been chosen. like you were charlie angela is at westminster for us . and charlie felt like on the matter of time before lose trust was forced out.
5:04 pm
yes, it has moved a little bit faster than i think most of us were expecting here. the newspaper headlines this morning were pretty damning talking about the chaos of the last 24 hours in which her interior minister, who had a braverman resigned and then a voting mix up in parliament. so a scenes of ledge pushing and shoving, as conservative. m p. 's were forced to vote along with the parties wishes on, on tracking, which many of them personally didn't, didn't agree with. and those headlines today. i had a picture of the prime minister saying she was broken, that she was a loss control of her party that she was ruling presiding over assert cale's that was swiftly followed by a meeting with said graham brady, the head of the 1922 committee that decides on conservative party leadership and contests and the term and of the conservative party. now it's not unusual. the prime ministers meet with grand brady,
5:05 pm
but obviously the outcome of this is not what she wanted, which is extrude me considering that just yesterday she stood up in parliament saying, i am a fighter. i am not a quitter. well, today she has quit. she obviously had her wings clipped in that meeting was told that some hard truth, which is that she just doesn't have the mandate of the past. and so she has become the shortest serving crime in british history. now there are lots of, i'm not to talk now about who can replace that. we know that the process will just take one week that 2 candidates will be put forward by conservative m p 's and then they will be voted on by the wider consult, conservative party itself, unless one of them drops out, of course. and then that the real sense of needing this process to happen swiftly and, and without the kind of chaos and lengthy decision making that we saw during the summer leadership contests in terms of names. well, where she see not this one,
5:06 pm
he obviously lost out to list trust in the final round of the last leadership contest. at penny morden is another name on people's mips. today we've had since classes resignation say, keep, come and carry on. we've even bleed and keeping an eye on sue at abraham and the outgoing interior minister who also was in the original leadership contest and so on the saying that maybe her resignation was a sign that she was putting in at very ha ha, back in the rank and even the times newspaper is saying that forrest johnson might be considering a comeback. who thought we would be? can't? well, with me now is gibbons. honda? he is from the new economics foundation. how has it come to this? well, the construct this charles paused to budget that was probably the worst you've ever seen in bordered british history. that led to k off not kale switch properties poorer before interest rates rise, that we've mortgage payment go buy hundreds of pounds for those people looking at bills, a boat at the re body that voltages even thousands of pounds. but of course, that called plot told a decade of this concern to god,
5:07 pm
but having spread the cuts that made us for our wage costs our weight is rather 9000 pounds lower than they should be. and it just waiting list to rec, holding levels as well. as crime, increasing dramatically to fundamentally, the british people were not beating prosperous and all of us, lot of bay to go. but for rough by list process got is a very grim pitching. yet in her resignation speech, she said that she came in. and when families, businesses worried about how that, how that bills and she wanted to change that. but what her, she, what is she, she left them with? well, yesterday, with a lot more, he right, a bogus paper bill that they weren't actually expecting. we not what she left them with. does the energy price freeze? of course. look, we did well, could not. but actually what it list ross, also not do, there was no pound to what happens when that price resent what if gas prices remain high? no home insulation as we as a note do economics foundation of hopeful no expansion of renewables to radio. also, we had a short term spic dicking, polish, started hostile, i just got a fairy tale economics that tots costs would solve every problem. best case
5:08 pm
scenario now, to this count jane tons, it's financial services. i mean look what they actually have is the ability, but it's not clear to you, the conservative party can deliver that. you know, they need to pass a bunch of songs. so now he sold on yields rows because they sold the british government at a quarter b, b, one bowl or chaos. and a d dot chaos is javier to through is not creates b, which candidate, con, commodity majority of the conservative party. what budget, they compulsive already see, kind of the room as a for is johnson, apparently one concert than p, saying that he's briefing out the poorest johnson's dots. he will defend the lay of policy. thank you. yes, it's not clear yet on exactly how that leadership contest is going to why, but we do know that it's a grand brady. we'll be releasing more details of that later today. but just to sum up these classes legacy, she's been in the job for 6 weeks in that time she's seen the pound plummet. she's in the bond market full. she seen a reversal of mice to pet policy program and she's had to fire her finance vincent closet by tang. and normally we would see that kind of drama over it's 6 months
5:09 pm
or a year of a of a peasant of a prime minister shipment. not just 6 weeks, and that's why she had to come and day did sir. chelly angela for us at westminster . well, his trust has made history by being the shortest serving prime minister in the u. k . yet in the spice of wakes, she oversaw a time of political and economic upheavals triggered by her own policies, casala, his whole eon reports from victory to defeat. within weeks, i am resigning as leader of the conservative party list. trances leadership has been short, but not uneventful. just 2 days after becoming prime minister, the death of queen elizabeth the 2nd was announced. politics ground to a halt as the u. k. observe the morning period for britain's longest serving monarch. but it was her promise of sweeping tax cuts. a pledge that one her,
5:10 pm
the leadership race that cast out on the direction she was taking, how they would be funded, remained unclear. we are coupling stanford. that uncertainty sent the markets into mill down while millions vase, the cost of living crisis, the pound plunge to a 37 year low, and the bank of england intervened to protect pensions. yet trust insisted that was the right horse. well mister speaker, what we have done is we have time criticism followed the honeymoon period was over. great pleasure. upon her fateful, you turn her chancellor in close and lay at the time quasi porting was sent. a familiar face former for his secretary jeremy hunt, replaced him in a hasty reversal, began, is clear that parts of our many budget went farther and faster the markets were expecting. so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. but it
5:11 pm
did little to ease fierce disapproval of her handling of the economy continued even from steadfast allies. i disapprove policy with her. in the end, the follow from her 1st major political announcement proved to damaging for her and her party to your energy freeze golf ha, tax free shopping doors, economic credibility, ah, a 2nd cabinet minister quit hours later. conservative m p. 's alleged, they were bullied into backing truss voters, lost confidence already contending with the economic repercussions in terms of a, i sort of legacy of trust ism it's, it's perhaps the, the end of, of, of cake is in the end of, you can have your cake and eat at the end of that kind of fantasy politics are returned to with her with her removal. i returned to the real world where policy
5:12 pm
has to be made in a globalized economy. a lesson for the next leader whose primary job will be to restore stability and confidence in the u. k. thank you, patty. a little bit of a young al jazeera, the head of the u. k. conservative party committee that sits the rules for selecting and changing the party leader has been speaking to reporters. graham brady was asked whether the public should be disappointed in the party. i think we are deeply conscious. oh, the imperative m. a national interest of resolving this. clearly, i agree with deborah, like any like the in the necklace isn't about her, isn't the most. we will definitely to can on the policy rules. so the 2 semesters, i want them very someone who says somebody dropped out you couldn't if there was any won't handle. that was anyone can will it speak to matthew paris?
5:13 pm
he is a former tory member of parliament and a political commentator. he joins us live from london. thank you very much for being on al jazeera. i mean, it almost felt inevitable that his trust would have to stand down. but serve after 45 days, his leader. is that a surprise to you? no, it isn't. i'm surprised, she lasted for 45 days. it all went wrong with that many boat budget which you have been discussing. and after that, after she had to sack her own chancellor who was only following out her own polo says it was going to be steeply downhill. from there and i am not surprised that it is so it has spun out her in so short a time that we know that there is going to be a new leader or within a week. how chaotic do you think the next 7 days or so is going to be? well, it certainly going to be a very accelerated a process. so firstly, they have to find out who conservative members of parliament at would like. and
5:14 pm
they may have a list of one to 3 or 4 people. they then have to consult the activists in the party of whom there are only about a $150000.00, but the rules say that they should be consulted. we don't quite know how they're going to be consulted yet. it can only be accelerated if somebody emerges early as the clear front runner and in the national interests. the other runners up decide to drop out so that there is no contest at all. but i think that's unlikely. at richie soon act feet former at chancellor is a very strong candidate indeed. and he was the m p. 's, favourite dear during their last at contest at boris johnson. i'm pretty sure we'll come back. he didn't want it to end the way it did, the party members liked boris johnson, richie sooner k is popular in parliament as i say. and penny mordant, who's a very friendly sort of face a will, will make a challenge. and so i suppose will the former home secretary swell, brother,
5:15 pm
man though i don't expect she'll get more than 40 or 50 m p support. how damaging is this a to the conservative party is the brand trashed after all the twists and turns of of the last few weeks. it is impossible to exaggerate the amount of damage that it has done to the conservative party. the conservative party has always been seen as the glosses party, the party that understood the economy. they've always been seen as not necessarily very compassionate. but they had been seen as completely competent at running the economy at adding up. and that has been trashed, and in the last few weeks that they've looked like the people who didn't understand adding up, they've looked like the people who didn't understand that you can't simply borrow huge sums of money in order to cut taxes and, and now they have been revealed so to speak, as like a sack full of weasels all fighting with each other. the scenes which we and
5:16 pm
britain have all seen on, on, on, on television, that the scenes have been, have been appalling and last night it, it sounds like it was almost a fist fight and the division lobbies at that, that must be what finally persuaded les tress it was time to go, and he thank you so much for your insight. that is matthew, a paris, a former tory member of parliament and political commentator. which on virchow is a former speaker in the u. k. house of commons. he says thursday's confusion in parliament sealed trust as fight. it was just frankly, industrial teaching in the governments. maj. proceedings of the house didn't know whether a bank was a competent site, won't that central the final straw? just as far as john's months of arguments about whether he should resign a breaches or in relation to the parent is locked out on that in the
5:17 pm
end there was a trade the trigger was the handling of the conduct the chief with mr. kristen, but in the end said, concert lawrence johnson, johnson isn't a direct comparison because there i refuse to add the frankly, and i'm reconstructed charlotte and he election with a large majority and he did all his commitment language coffee and i do have great damage when you said he would duration and need to stay in office for 3 years. this trust lead to oh, he's 5 days later. she does have to call in today. she had to resign nonsense results . for c o. e can on the list,
5:18 pm
which is not. she has to resign because of a combination of chronic errors. judge the meanest and to show the passage when they need to communicate when the actors let's go to andrew some and sir joins us from downing street now. andrew, we know that he was going to be a new prime minister by october the 28th. but do we have any idea how the conservative party is going to get there? well this is for the 1922 committed to work out the in ideal world. they'd like to make it a, an easy, easy choice for at the conservative m p. 's or actually only have one contender. but that may well not be the case because that that would be a process where they go through the candidates under see who is the most popular.
5:19 pm
but there is a list coming together and nobody has declared officially that they're in the race yet are. but certainly we're looking at sir, is she sooner as the favorites is a former chancellor, or is she soon act or was responsible? collins and many conservative m. p. 's with down for eventually, or of his prime minister, abbas johnson, whom we've now heard is going to stand, which is not confirmed yet, but he plans to stand a certainly going to be an outside as a big split within the party as to who would vote for him, and then there's penny mordant, who did not win in the conservative leadership race over the summer. she or what was actually seen by summers as a good candidate. she performed quite well when she stood in at fall as trust in the house of commons, a couple of days back, when the labor leader kissed arma wanted to speak directly for an explanation from
5:20 pm
the prime minister. she did not her, she wasn't even in the house at so mordant is another one. and then the defense secretary, ben wallace, who is seen as a safe pair of hands, a figure who, who has been seen to be strong on ukraine. hatter hasn't quibbled about giving ukraine the resources it needs, and he is seen as a strong figure, although he has said that he doesn't really want the leadership. however, a lot of conservative employees along a part is a people from all parties. so say that before a leadership race, then my really you got to also lucas sweller. the braverman who i'm the braverman, who actually wall sir, only yesterday she resigned and saying that her a confidential pay a confidential document she mailed or was it a breach of ministerial conduct and therefore had to resign? but there's more to it than that. there's no doubt about it. she actually wanted to
5:21 pm
really attack this trust and that's what she did. she could be a contender, but she hasn't come forward yet. so right now, the atmosphere in downing street right the way across london is that list trust was always going to go. the question was when and the 1922 committee forced to do that, only one to less than 24 hours. in fact, after she declared that she was a fighter, not a quitter, well, that's what she's done. she's resigned, she's out. and what a chaotic spectacular affair that was in terms of failure and incompetence that some people say that she showed right the way through. it sounds like it'll be another chaotic 7 days ahead as well. thank you very much. that's andrew summons for us at downing street or to other news. and russia says it's forces are continuing to target ukrainian military and energy infrastructure. the defense ministry says it's using high precision,
5:22 pm
long range and air based weapons. several ukrainian cities including capital. keith have been hit this week, ukraine's president says the attacks have destroyed a 3rd of power facilities and forced the government to impose electricity. cats, mom, a jim june has more from keith. this is a very significant announcement by government officials today when they come to the restriction of electricity going forward. let me 1st tell you a little bit more of what we heard from ukranian president below de mer zalinski and his nightly address. last night. he said that we are preparing for all kinds of scenarios in view of the winter season. he went on to say, we do not exclude that with the onset of the cold weather. we will be asking for your help even more frequently. really underscoring the concern of officials here over the course of the past couple of weeks since so much energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed by oncoming russian missiles or these drones that were
5:23 pm
attacking in the last few days that these nationwide restrictions had been put in place since rushes invasion in february, the power supply is to be restricted between 7 am and 11 pm daily. there may be temporary blackouts if people don't comply with these restrictions and don't try to conserve on there to conserve energy consumption. everybody we've been speaking with in the neighborhoods that have been impacted by power outages after either missile strikes or drones strikes these past few days have told us that they are worried that it is going to get worse than that. they are preparing themselves as best they can. we have also spoken to residents and other parts of the country in which they said they don't think the government has done enough to prepare the cities and to prepare the citizens. and that more infrastructure needs to be protected and the more measures need to be put in place. so that if there are more power outages, residents have access to heated areas and they have access to energy going forward . the safer of residential areas in the capital has been hit by
5:24 pm
a barrage of russian missile and drone. a tax holder, abdel hamid reports from cave ah, building 11600 youngsters street in central quay was struck at around 8 21 in the morning. half of it was reduced to a pile of rubble. nadia, her husband and 2 cats lived on the ground floor. they were walking by an earlier explosion, then heard a sound similar to a roar of motorbike and yet another explosion. no, we didn't hear any sound before a explosion exactly in our house. so the explosion in the house across the street, you hear this b, but here that there was only the explosion sound. ah, so our cats height i in the bathroom. and elizabeth i, we was just, we were just shocked. and we were sitting and waiting. what's happening,
5:25 pm
but i told my husband to close the gas system. and at the same time, he looked at the window and said that this building is okay. so that means they hit us, our building multiple so cold kamikaze, drones have been launched against cave and other cities. ukrainians. call these drills, mopeds because of the buzz they make. why low to ring overhead. they do cause panic and anxiety because you don't know where they're going to hit. now these jones, i increasingly use in attacks beyond the front lines. the pattern is to launch them in swarms towards several cities at the same time in a bit to overwhelm the air defense systems. building 116 was struck by one of several that weren't intercept yet. god, god is flat. share the wall with the building. he stood on the balcony and saw what
5:26 pm
he describes as a miniature jet hovering overhead. small blades that chin, des, speed, and direction. he says, and near by a power station could have been an intended target. if you speak about critical infrastructure, but are, these are end of the station that not far from my house is not effective. more than 10 years. during that last till years? are we governors or have a plan or to restructure? because it's an in it, soviet construction, it's a not effective and it's a useful also for small districts around it's a normal for modern infrastructure. that's why it's not a critical infrastructure with then is his grandmother lived under 3rd floor. she couldn't escape the impact her body was discovered under the rubble. 3 of her neighbors also lost their lives. the increased use of jones could indicate that
5:27 pm
russia is depleting its stock of cruise missiles or the western sanctions are working. but they have also been effective in destroying energy infrastructure. plunging parts of ukraine in douglas as the cold season is fast approaching. and at the mid al jazeera keith, a general strike is taking place across the occupied west bank, following the death of a palestinian man. israel says killed one of its soldiers. oh, day to me. me lived in the sure 5 refugee camp where demonstrations are being held outside. his home. protests are also being held and several other cities in the west bank israeli forces had been searching for to me for more than a week. they blockaded the refugee camp in an attempt to find him. well this now just one months to go until the world kept kicks off here and cotton and richardson
5:28 pm
is in lou south city will since capital one, the rights to host this will cut back in 2010. the country is undergoing a complete transformation. i'm still here in lease sale city that's 12 years ago with little more than a sketch in an architect notepad, it is now a fully formed city and is sure to be a focal point for fans who come to castle for this world cup and not see far away from me, it's lucille stadium. but on december, the 18th will host the world cup final. what were the months ago? i've been taking a closer look as to whether or not this country really is ready to host, accommodate and entertain more than a 1000000 fans at the middle east's. first world cup the for some, the world cup party has already started this group of gone to fans live and work in cattle. they'll get to see that scene play in a country. they've helped to transform what i just
5:29 pm
meant. got cut off the head of world full has been underlining the message that this will be a world cup for all. everyone will be welcomed to the tournament regardless of their origin. beg ground religion, gender, sexual orientation or nationality catalyst capital. doha is being ready for the arrival of more than a 1000000 football fans. while behind me here, you can make out the fee for the fan festival. that's where up to 40000 supports is can watch matches on big screens and, and in this direction, the main road along the sea front will be close to traffic from november, the 1st making wife what's been called a global st. carnival that can entertain of the 70000 people at any one time, or late stadiums or less than 40 kilometers away from the center of doha. never before will so many wilka fans be in such close proximity. what is the logistical
5:30 pm
challenge of making sure fans on much days are safely and swiftly moved around the country? you mentioned the challenges of the compact nature. i think again it's, it's more the opportunity with the transport network that we have in katara, especially the public transport. and you know, i used the metro going to many matches during the arrow cup for example. and it's incredibly convenient. people come to the world cup to have a great experience. they come to meet different people from different countries. so i think that it's organic, it's natural, it just happens. so you have, you know, everybody from saudi arabia all the way down to morocco. i think mingle linger and catherine to has a diverse city in and of itself. catalyse national team of being in a 6 month training camp ahead of their wilka w. a build up designed to overcome the sporting odds statistically. ah, the chance of cut are beating the netherlands in a world cup are very small.
