7:02 pm
45 days following a series of dramatic policy, u turns and resignations by her cabinet. colleagues, she has resigned that makes her the country's shortest serving prime minister ever . i came into office at the time of great economic and international instability. families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills. putin's illegal war and ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent. and all countries have been held back for too long by low economic growth. i was elected by the conservative party with a mandate to change this. we delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance. and we set out a vision for a low tax. hi, great economy. the would take advantage of the freedoms of bricks. it i recognized though, given the situation,
7:03 pm
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, said 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 our fiscal plans and maintain our country's economic stability and national security. i will remain as prime minister until a successor has been chosen nike while correspondence are following the story journal. how has the european reaction in brussels? charlie angela is in westminster. first, let's go over to andrew summers who joins us now from downing street sir andrew, quite a tumultuous, 24 hours. take us through what happens next now?
7:04 pm
well, she was. certainly you could say she is that cliche, unprecedented in parts. it was an extraordinary 6 days that led to what everyone was expecting. that list trust would stand down. let's spin back to last friday when she sacked a her forum, the her finance minister across the quartering that went down badly. it didn't affect our city crisis. although the whole markets were tumbling in a dramatic way, that was a major situation. it didn't work, then it was a disastrous past conference. then spool further forward into the weekend and the enforcer arrived. it was like a fast moving drug, a drama on the enforcer walls, no less than the new chancellor or jeremy hunt. he took over number 10 downing street keys were in the pocket or all liz trust,
7:05 pm
but she didn't really have status at all the whole weekend. it was a jumble, but the walls a result at the end of it because jeremy hunt. com, the markets, he ripped tub every thing more or less, the less trusted promised the country and went for a whole program of, of some tax rises. certainly the tax cuts went and then we arrived a situation whereby she was more or less just in the background in the shadows. and of course, that big moment when she was supposed to been appearing before the labor party on tuesday. that didn't happen. and penny molden, who's one of the candidates trying to take over from her leave river house. she appeared making various sort of almost joking remarks such as i know she's not hiding under the desk. in fact, she came into the house looking cold and, and then she had a really quite
7:06 pm
a good performance against considering the situation against a of the, the labor leader care stammer up. but then a one point she said when he, when he went for her, she said, look, look, i'm a fighter, not a quitter. within 24 hours, she's gone. what do we have? chaos still because the has to be a replacement in a very short space of time before the markets go wobbly again. and so that's the situation she spelt out that she didn't have a mandate. well that was quite clear as soon as the chuck, the new chancellor arrived and more or less took over. why didn't she go then she was forced to by that so called 1922 committee formed would you believe in 1922. but there to enforce bulls on the all it's membership and, and good order. there's no good order right now. the damage to the conservative party has been colossal, and they have to get things right. but without an election because they're so unpopular, the labor party has the biggest lead to 25 years. they walk all over them. so
7:07 pm
they've got to do something internally. again, talk about doing things internally. and he signs about who might be in the running yes sir, the reform main runners and i'm the 1st of all is swishy soon act who lost closely to 2. she lost 2. let's trust when the, the elections went to the full conservative membership. a 160000 people, but he richie sooner was the favorite of the parliamentary party. so what this, this is the one of the problems that sir brady, a gram brady, the chair of the 1922 committee has he, he wants to, to really shorten the list and speed up the process. they feel they want to do it within a week. they want to have a prime minister in place next. next week. they want to be able to deal with the fiscal report, the statement at the end of the month, that has to happen to stabilize the markets further and keep them calm. there's not much reaction at the moment, not up, not down for the pound,
7:08 pm
only minor in the sense that so the, the new prime minister, the prime minister resigning hasn't been a catastrophic event. and it hasn't been a successful event. so basically it has to happen. let's go through the rest of the, the list now. there is also penny mortgage. a scene of the 2nd favorite of penny morton is the leader of the house. she was also in the leadership race. she went out fairly early on, as she seen as her, as a com character who was quite capable of, but then not massively experienced. and then further, further on from there is ben wallace, who's the defense minister, who's had a very good war, so to speak to phil, excuse the terminology he's, he's been very strong on ukraine, made very sure fire decisions are he's respected in the party and not so much bye the that the center center ground, but he is a safe pair of hands. and then there is also a suggestion that, that on the wait for this, the, that some boris johnson could her put his,
7:09 pm
put his head forward and, and go for the candidacy. and the suggestion is that could happen. his friends are saying he's going to be in the national interest. he could come back in the national interest. now if there is the involvement of the overall conservative party membership, he could possibly be up there because the membership we could serve. but he seemed to still favour him or him. he was gary, his character are awful goings on during the joined the the so called party gate. but then he is seen by the membership has been a favorite, but certainly not by the, the party as a whole at the parliamentary party here. and then of course, if jeremy hunt a has done all this work to calm the city, he does not want to go ahead. he does not want. he's not interested. he's had to attempt the leadership before without much success. but he comes out of this whole drama, well really, whereas and his trust comes out of it as the record of the shortest
7:10 pm
serving prime minister in u. k. history. and what a record i thanks so much andrew simmons. let's go over the jona how he's lived for us in brussels. jonah one can only imagine how you leaders must be watching the latest chapter in this very british political drama that's going on the gathering there in brussels and this all broke loose one day. that's right, you'd have to forgive and elements of shot and tried it wouldn't give among them they've had years of listening to the bombast of british politicians like forest johnson like not too far out far right. the that was a member of the european parliament. if he is talking about how britain would prosper once unshackled from the and elected bureaucrats here in brussels, he looks to them anything at anything but that at the moment they would say that, of course. and in fact, the leaders turning up quite careful to see a largely away from this issue. they've got, frankly,
7:11 pm
bigger things to worry about. there is talk about soaring energy prices, trying to event that to the possibility of higher inflation. recession stalking many of the members of the european union. and it's been 6 years after since britain have a substantive seat at the table, which is not to say they don't care. they do. of course trade is a big issue between the 2 sides. less than it was before breakfast. and a big issue this trust was something of an antagonist towards the u. s. foreign secretary, when she offered legislation that would allow britain essentially to overturn its obligations on northern ireland in terms of the breakfast negotiations. they're also working very closely together. nato allies here of europe and they throw out of course the u. k. on ukraine. so they mind who is the prime minister that mind the chief gotten, and they will mind who replaces the comments. so christiana died and manual macro on a personal level. he said i was, i'm always sad to see a colleague go for the present, find stability as soon as possible. me home martin. the iris tea shop,
7:12 pm
also use the words at a personal level. i sympathize with her. i think it is a very difficult time, and as you guys closest neighbor, we wish that stability comes food given the current context. i'll tell you who hasn't been reticent at reacting though, is moscow. they're not, of course, represented here, but they are in the minds of everybody here and all was very keen to jump on perceptions of west weakness. the foreign ministry in moscow said, britain had never known such a disgrace of a prime minister in the view from moscow. i thanks so much jona. how they're i let's bring in charlie on jan and now she's outside parliament . i guess the key issue now will be how the positions of all of amongst members of palm, especially amongst the conservatives as they head into this question of who becomes the next prime minister. oh, yeah, so just,
7:13 pm
just to fill you in, what's happening here. we've got a number of protest as calling for a general election and that not the only ones. we've also got a leader of the labor party and the leader of the liberal democrats, both doing media rounds, cooling for general election. now that is an likely to happen as much as it might be wanted, because the next general election is naturally due until 2025. but i don't think they're going to let this one go. the only other alternative for general election is if the house of commons was to table the motion of no confidence in the prime minister. then the conservative party would have to have the majority would have to vote against the government at the moment. there is no mechanism for that to happen, but that doesn't mean the calls all going to go away. and to discuss this small, we have a labor member of parliament with us, marcia de cova dakota. and i'm just going to put the microphone just in front of you so that we can he properly. so your party is asking for
7:14 pm
a general election. is that reading what this country needs right now? with michael we've had a prime minister multi point. he's not just mike across the country. right, we're just going to pull this microphone off a little bit so you can hear you a little bit better. but we're hearing room is that was former prime minister boris . listen for should make a return to office once you make it back. again, it would be that was in that could happen to the british people and to my constituents in battersea, but he also describes the office of prime minister. i mean, you know, we are with it if we allow people to just come back into politics when they've
7:15 pm
already broken rules, told life and really brought in at the office into disrepute them be allowed to come back into the, into the office of prime minister again it would be unacceptable and it wouldn't be right for the people of this country. and i believe right now we need a general election to the people can finally get an opportunity to say no to the tourism. we connect for labor government, thanks to the canada. so calls for a general election which at the moment there is no mechanism for, but that's not going to stop them going away. all right, thanks so much johnny. i'm deliver that hello has already i am, has this revolt on this process? turbulent 45 days in office. 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,
7:16 pm
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 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'd 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, and
7:17 pm
a hasty reversal began. is clear that parts of our mini budget went farther and faster. the markets were expecting. said the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. but it did little to ease fears, disapproval of her handling of the economy continued even from steadfast allies. i disapprove policy where i start to bring with you. in the end, the followed from her 1st major political announcement proved to damaging for her and her party to your energy freeze gall ha, tax free shopping dog. he cannot make 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,
7:18 pm
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 return to the real world where policy 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. cards he a little bit of a young al jazeera here as president joe biden as say the u. k prime minister this trust was a great partner on international cooperation. bye, made the remarks as he was leaving the white house. i asked for the british little galvan report and still ahead on al jazeera o protest across the occupied west bank after his ready
7:19 pm
forces shoot dead, a palestinian man, they say killed him, his wavy soldier, ukrainians. that told to charge their appliances sets. russian missiles rained down on power plants causing electricity. cox ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere. a you read with the with spoke to my cattle aways. hello there. the weather set back for much at least asia at the moment. large areas of china, thanks to high pressure, that's in charge. lots of sunshine coming through pace paces like beijing. quite a bit of a wintry and wet mix, working its way across the northeast, into rush as far east. that's going to drip its way for the south bringing se wintery flurries to the likes of north korea, and from what to weather, to more northern areas of japan, honshu and kato, seeing that on saturday,
7:20 pm
much to wire along that east coast. places like shanghai thinks and sunshine and it clears up my sleeve for the south as that tropical depression pulls into south east asia in particular to indo china. it's vietnam, that's gonna be dealing with the worst of nath, that it is a tropical depression. still going to bring some very heavy rain up to a 110 millimeters in places we are like to see to see flooding from that. we could also see some flooding across parts of thailand, more flooding here. that's thanks to a swirling system in the abdomen. see that's going to work its way towards the bay of bengal. we got warnings out for the and m and a nick of islands as that system pulls its way further to the north west. heavier rain across places like carola and thomas now do. but further north of this clear skies and plenty of sunshine for new delhi that to weather, for the weather sponsored by cats, are they always with one month to go into the feel? welcome is the criticism cutoff faces putting the bit justified?
7:21 pm
and what will defined a successful tournament seeing job deposit, we as a country physician coming to work now some harper, c. o. of cat, on 2022 talks to al jazeera on prompted a done interrupted discussions from our london coast center. oh, now to sierra. ah, the me welcome back here watching out this here a time to recap our headlines now. princeton's prime minister lives trust, has resigned. she'd come under pressure from within and outside the policy during her 6 weeks and the job do turns on policies,
7:22 pm
cabinet ministers quitting and the chaos that complimentary vote made her position untenable. now the race to a like the new leader of the conservative party begins for she's still not who was runner up. the truck is the favorite to replace her. also in the running is any more than and former prime minister lawrence johnson is also for his name in the well, this trust came into office, declaring her determination to deliver unprecedented growth. but in the end, the record she'll be remembered for is the shortest of a tenure as prime minister of the k. britton's longest serving prime minister was sir robert walpole. not only was the 1st prime minister of great britain, amir, 14 years after england's union with scotland, that he was there for just short of a colossal 21 years. or by contrast for many decades. the shortest tenure as prime minister was george carrying a century later. he took office in 18. $27.00 died after only $119.00 days.
7:23 pm
but outstripping, counting by far, is now less trust. she managed only 45 days before tendering her resignation. less than half of kennings total general strike is taking place across the occupied wife's bang, following the death of a palestinian man. israel says killed one of its soldiers with a tammy lived in the shop, refugee camp would demonstrations of being held outside his home. protests are also being held in several other cities in the west bank. ready forces have been searching for to me for more than a week. they blockaded the refugee camp in an attempt to find him. what happened is, after days of looking for day tammy, by the israeli forces, he showed up, but this time he was committing another gun attack. he was killed in a shootout, and valve phineas, after seeing the video of are they to me mean shooting until what they say is the last breath. they've been hailing him as a hero, and they've called for
7:24 pm
a strike to day to mourn his death. many palestinians see that the fact that he was able to escape for that long and manage to do another attack shows the resilience of palestinian the young men. this is a language that we've been hearing over the past few months from several people in the occupied to a bank in several places, saying that this will only understand the language of force. this is why we've seen a lot of them conduct shooting attacks and go to confrontation points with these really forces. now another palestinian, a 16 year old. his name is mohammed noti. his funeral is taking place right now, and he has come to his room this morning after being shot at by israeli forces on the 30th of september, he was participating in a protest that was called for after a 7 year old palestinian named that sleigh man was he died and his family says he was scared to death because he was being chased by israeli forces. so as you can see, those funerals are usually essential point. they lead to more attention. so they
7:25 pm
show in a way, is that what israel says is that what does it work with city and with force will work with more force doesn't really hold true when it comes to the palestinians. because the more funerals we see, the more tension escalates. and as you see today, there's a thrive to mark and to show the level of tension. in the aspect, russia says its forces are continuing to target ukrainian, military and energy infrastructure. the defense minister says using high position, long range and air based weapons, several ukrainian cities, including the capital q, have been hit this week. ukraine's president says the attacks destroyed a 3rd of power services and force the government to impose electricity costs. i'm a jump to more from keith. and this is a very significant announcement by government official today when it come to the restriction of electricity going forward. let me 1st tell you a little bit more of what we heard from your cranium. president ballade emerge,
7:26 pm
lensky 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 on coming russian missiles or these drones that were attacking in the last few days, these nationwide restrictions have 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 neighborhood that have been impacted by power outages after either missile strikes or drones strikes these past few days. have told us that they are
7:27 pm
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 the 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 . pier opinion has impose sanctions against 3 top iranian officials and arms company. they're accused of supplying drones to russia, which, being used to strike ukraine cranes foreign minister dmitri labor has welcome to move his british counterpart. james cleverly says the u. k. is also preparing to announce new sanctions on iran. ah, exactly one month's time. the cancer world cup will kick off. it's
7:28 pm
a 1st for the middle east stand fee for president and johnny and $17.00 o says the tournament will create memories that will last a lifetime. and the richardson reports, ah, for some the wilco party has already started. this group of gone fans live and work in cattle. they'll get to see their team play in the country. they've helped to transform huntsville pas. although it got because i took pride in immigration with a problem with the guy near me when he got to the head of world full has been on the lining. the message that this will be a will cut for all. every one 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,
7:29 pm
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. all late stadiums are 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 challenge of making sure fans on match 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 fair convenience. people come to the world cup to have a great experience. they come to meet different people from different countries. so
7:30 pm
i think that it's organic, it's naturally, 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. kettles, national team of being in a 6 month training camp ahead of their wilcock w. a build up designed to overcome the sporting odds statistically. ah, the chance of cut are beating the netherlands in a walk up are very small. hopefully, we can get a little bit of that togetherness, that creates a mindset on a spirit and a collective believe that the team is going to go out there and fight with everything they have. cats are, will kick the world cup off against ecuador at out 8 stadium. the team and the country insist they're ready to put on a world class performance. ah .
