river house of commons may be a good unity candidates, but may not have enough experience to convince the party. and as the country is facing a change of prime minister for the 3rd time in 3 months, the opposition is calling for a general election. we can't have a revolving door of chaos. we can't have another experiment at the top of the tory party, but is an alternative, and that's a stable labor government. and the public are entitled to have their say, the conservative party is split, it's damage and it's still shaken by what's happened. the last thing it means right now is a general election opinion polls show it would be decimated. andrew simmons alger 0 downing street a for more anessa paul races life force in london said paul, who are the, are that the front runners then to succeed less trust well has an a couple of familiar names from the leadership contest that it feels that

ah, ah, the u. s. s. military train is from iran, are in crimea helping russian troops use iranian may drums in a tax on ukraine. washington believes iranian jones had the capital key of an energy facilities across the country. iran has not reacted to the latest u. s. accusations, but denies the drones iranian made. we can confirm that russian military personnel based in crimea have been piloted, piling, piloting, fuse me around in you a using using and conduct kinetic strikes across the crane, including in strikes against cuban and reason dates. we assess that iranian personnel, so running military personnel, we're on the ground in crimea, and assisted russia in the us. opperation. russia has received dozens of these u a v so far and will likely continue to receive additional shipments. in the
11:09 am
future. i'm how much i'm doing is life in a key of some hammered. what are we hearing from you crying when it comes to these accusations of iranian involvement? so have him. there's been a save an issue just this morning from the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. the statement reads, in part that the russian federation is transporting iranian instructors to prepare and train. drone operators utilize the shaheen 136, and a ross drones. those are those drones that are commonly referred to now as kamikaze drones. what's interesting though, is that the statement did not specify where exactly the craniums believe those iranian instructors may be in the country. what's interesting is that in the past week, you've had several ukrainian media outlets reporting the same information, stating that their sources are telling them that there are iranian instructors on the ground. in those reports that we've seen,
11:10 am
it has been stating that those iranian instructors are in russian occupied crimea. and that it is in that area where they are training and helping russian forces to be able to utilize those kamikaze drones. we've not yet heard any official statement from either ukrainian president below the mirrors, the lensky, or any other members of the government. in response to what us state department spokesperson. net price said in the last several hours, confirming that the us is saying now that there are iranians on the ground in ukraine, we expect to potentially be hearing more from them later in the day when they start giving their addresses to the people of ukraine. that all being said, though, we should mention that even though we have not heard specifics from these officials, as to iranian instructors actually being here. we have over the course of the last week on many occasions, heard presidents lensky and many other officials. the mon,
11:11 am
the facts, because they are saying that the iranians are supplying support to russian forces in ukraine and the ukrainians are claiming that the iraq means are supplying these kamikaze drones to russian forces in ukraine. of course, we should mention that the iranian government has repeatedly denied that they are supplying the support or drones to the russian federation with regard to their war here in ukraine. as an huh. jump in in a key of foresight for how many are you leaders are gathering for a final day of talks in brussels to find solutions for an energy crisis driven by the war ukraine. it is their 2nd cement in as many weeks, and one of the main sticking points continues to be a cap on gas prices. but that could be a break through with the financial times reporting the german chancellor has dropped his opposition to the proposal. the cost of energy has served as you have tries to cut is dependent on russian supplies. russia has cut 2
11:12 am
thirds of all. it's got supplies to europe, 2 thirds. that's more than 100000000000 cubic meter of gas that russia has cut. we have been able to compensate this completely by having other suppliers, like for example, the united states and norway by saving a lot. by making sure that we skim the windfall profits of the energy producing companies and support the vulnerable households and vulnerable companies. or john hall is following all of this force from brussels. sir john, had they made any progress in dealing with the energy crisis? socratic, sort of a, you council, summit outcome really several hours of heated if you pardon the pun, discussion on the energy crisis on trying to find ways to bring down the soaring
11:13 am
price of gas, currently 300 percent up on what it was at the beginning of the year before, the war and ukraine to try and stave off the threat of higher inflation and recession across the e u. they came out at about 2 am announcing that they had a deal. it wasn't a definitive deal of, of course, it was merely an agreement, just continue talking within the defined set of parameters and to push those talks on to energy ministers who meet on tuesday before a potentially emergency summer to further some of the be leaders next month what are those parameters? well, they're talking about 2 things potentially to bring down the price of gas. a new mechanism for you, gas companies to club together into a bias cartel essentially accumulating the $27.00 nations cloud all into one gas client if you will, and going with all that crap to the energy market and demanding lower prices. i'm 2nd, the temper emergency price cap on the benchmark. you gas trading up the dutch t f f. this is the contentious one. of course,
11:14 am
it would be europe essentially agreeing not to trade gas above a certain price level. the french are in favor along with some southern european countries countries and. ready of it's. ready valuable to recession, the big standout a poland is germany, some suggestion that germany has eased its position, but still not happy with the idea of a price got the germans believe that a price cap was simply to supply shortages with tank was laden with l. n. g. turning around in europe, the european fortune heading off to asia, where they can sell their wares at a higher price. so they've made the movement towards each other, but a deal not yet there. and yet, we know that the ukranian presence lensky has been addressing. the lead is on thursday. what did they talk about? their guess we'll talk on ukraine will continue into friday. they didn't really get into anything substantive on thursday, talks towards trying to help you. crane protect, it's in its energy and present,
11:15 am
restructure and get its power supply up and running again in places where they are currently struggling. after recent russian attacks targeting the energy infrastructure, they did hear from president landscape video link on thursday. he warned them of an impending large scale disaster, his words in southern ukraine at a place called cut kafka hydro electric plant, where you said the russian said mind the dam there and that those mines. ready were primed, and if they were to explode, that would cause rapid flooding to some 80 towns and villages, including the port city of san he asked for an immediate international mission to inspect them at costco. he also asked for more defense assets to try and protect cities from aerial bombardment by russia. and he warned the leaders here that russia was fermenting deliberately, a new wave of migration in attacking the energy infrastructure of ukraine ahead of a freezing cold winter. he said thousands more would make their way towards europe
