i am told mccrae, this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up. pakistan's former prime minister in brown con has bod, from running for office, for 5 years on corruption charges. the united states government accuses iran of helping bratia alone to drone attacks. and ukraine. and protest is in certain mock, the anniversary of the 1964 revolution. ah, the united kingdom is expected to have a new prime minister within a week. it's 3rd later this year. that's after las trust resigned on thursday. she lost just 44 days in the job, the shortest serving leader and british history. entry simmons reports from london . this cross was the prime minister of broken promises. she calls the near milltown

with the market's nearly all her on funded plans for tax cuts were reversed. now she's out the shortest serving prime minister in the u. k. history, i cannot deliver the mandates on which i was elected by the conservative party. i therefore slaten to his majesty the king to notify him that i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. and doing started last friday, she'd sat to finance minister kwasic quoting, but blaming him, forgetting it wrong, had no effect on the markets. the pound wasn't recovering on the cost of government borrowing was still going up to say a nervous trust walked out on questions. i know you 5 minutes in came political, heavyweight jeremy hunt as new chancellor, trashing virtually all of the thrust plans, saving billions of dollars and calming the markets. he cannot make trackability ah,

the next day she was confronted by opposition. labor leader. kiss darma for the 1st time she seemed to be defiant. i am a fighter, and no i hate 24 hours later she was told to quit. no, the conservative party is engulfed in leadership elections again. and those in charge say they'll have to be quick. i think we are deeply conscious all the imperative of a national interest or resolving this. clearly angry contenders include former chancellor richie sooner, but they're still anger in the party over his part in bringing down bars. johnson and johnson does look like trying to make a comeback. is ally say it will be in the national interest any more than the roof . a 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. let's take a closer look at trust as possible replacements. first is richie sooner who lost to her in july, his leadership contest sooner was chancellor and boris johnson's government now support to see him as a safer option. and he correctly forecasts the problem is trust as economic policies would cause a penny. mordant is another contender. she's the leader of the house of commons and came 3rd in july as contest. she's a strong performer in parliament,

but lex experience and top ministerial roles. no. so ela brothman could be a candidate. she resigned his home secretary on wednesday. and then there's the man who succeeded her grant chaps, he backed soon act in the last leadership rice. there are also reports, former prime minister burse johnson will run. he stood down after a series of scandals, but remains popular among some and the tory party. when they've back joins us live now from london. and now how likely is it that bars, johnson, i could be back in number 10, downing straight. ha, ha, that's a big question, isn't it? over the last hour we've been focusing on lots of different things, but we've had our eyes on 2 things in particular for see the betting oats. and secondly, what's happening in the financial markets because it looks as if the bookies have re, she soon act embarrassed. johnson, both 1st and 2nd at the moment and we are seeing

a m p after m p. launch the m p 's who have served in gov. me to either under johnson or trust. come out saying that they are openly backing boris johnson. if he does confirm that he is in this race, but there are also many m p 's that the saying if johnson does end up becoming prime minister that i'm prepared to resign, triggering by elections, which of course isn't going to look good as well. as i mentioned, the 2nd thing we focused on is the, at what's happening in the financial markets. because off the back of this news, the boys johnson may be prepared to stage the 2nd coming. the price of sovereign bond yields, as gone through the roof. very, very sharply another, this is somewhat speculative, but it looks as if there is a degree of correlation between this news about johnson and how the market so responding. the bond yields, of course, is the cost of go government borrowing and shows a real lack of confidence. and the government's ability to fund essentially its own spending plans. and this is precisely what happened after lives trust in her former

chancellor quasi caught ang announced that many budget and it seems to suggest that the, the market so very uncomfortable indeed with any body who may well undermine financial orthodoxy in the time in which the country urgently needs a degree of stability. very briefly, the rationale from conservative m. p. 's for backing boys johnston is largely because many of them believe that because he want a massive mandate and the $29.00 elections with an atp seat majority. that he has more legitimacy to lead the party going forward. but of course, he's a man my in controversy subject to a privileges committee investigation at the moment. if he's found to have a broken the rules in misleading parliament, he could well be out of a job within a couple of months. so much and not be in the case if he does indeed become prime minister. i write lastly at the end of his time and offered something like 68 of the population people, but who were polled in a you got paul believe that he was

a completely incompetent leader. so what the people think versus what conservative m p 's think can be very, very different. re remarkable to say yeah. how that plays out over the next week. that is also been plenty of calls for a general election. and obviously the conservatives are going to try and do everything to ensure that that doesn't happen. but is there any chance that her of a general election being calls at any time soon? d. thank yet a clamor for a general election is getting louder and louder by the day by the minutes. obviously the opposition labor party is seeing the polls and they're seeing or their popularity among the general population saw significantly. but of course, as the old saying goes, turkeys don't vote for christmas and the conservative party are unlikely to sabotage their own position in power by voting alongside opposition. parties in calling for a general election that may well see them absolutely decimated. however,

if we see a situation, for instance, where particularly device, if prime minister the likes boys johnson get seen, we may well see such a visceral backlash from within the conservative party from m. p. 's throughout. absolutely, absolutely. devastated by the impact the johnston had on britain's political landscape that they decide to throw in the towel and join forces with other m. p. 's from across the chamber. in the hope of pressing a reset and beyond. the conservative party beyond the, the westminster bubble. there is a real sense across the, the, the country that the majority of people now believe enough is enough. it's time to start again and time to revisit the entire political and the entire political project and take the country the new direction remarkable times in the u. candidates for sure. that's nice. back for us in london,

or pakistan's election commission has disqualified former prime minister and moran con, from running for office. the commission says con is guilty of unlawfully selling its state gifts received from heads of other nations and foreign dignitaries. cons aid says they will challenge the ruling, the case against the formulator was filed in august. just don't give it was up the quote. by the time my message reaches, i may be arrested in an illegal case. this should make it clear to all of you that are fundamental, right? which our constitution pro white have been violated and democracy has been buried. i'm appealing to all of you that you have to come out. you have to wage a struggle against his races system, roger, which is creating terror and fear here, do the stories of fear must be broken on it, then we'll, alack us, the real freed them or come al hider is following developments from bear color and pakistan tower then the paper that come out across august on the blocking highway

that is considered by the anger because it must be noted that the former prime minister in brown con, had over all lead in the country. it's popularity guide or all day. and i've called the movers seen the controversial removed political ren debt. he said that the government didn't follow what the. busy government and said that they were trying to body democracy. now the interior minister and the last few hours also said that anybody will come out to protest will be crushed. healed up. gotcha. can force against him, ron and support were leading paid for march on the 25th of may and code this iteration. very water dial. indeed. because ron hahn has read the election that going to by election has emerge as one of the most popular leaders within the

country. and it is going to be important to see how this project is going to find out across the country. because as i mentioned, the data emerged as a very popular lead and renew something that people pay ahead of god. thing that people are now come out of the defining moment. the state of emergency has been declared in saddam's blue nile state for a month at least 187 people have been killed in violence, sparked by a land dispute between tribes, a pe steel with signs in the region and 2020. but the fighting has worth and lantern the capital cartoon protesters have been marking the anniversary of sedans . first revolution. in 1964, it overthrew military leader and 1st president's abraham, a boot. the country has experienced increased political turmoil since another cool last year. had a morgan is in khartoum, she explains more on the protests protested commemorating the 58th anniversary of

the 1st revolution against then military reader abraham, my boot. but they're also taking to the streets for another reason. today they want to show the military that took power last october, that they once a civilian government and they want the military to attend to the barracks. now the slogan of today's protest is no compromise, and that comes against the backdrop of reports that there are negotiations happening between up the political parties. specifically the parties that were sidelines since the military takeover last year. and the military which would result in a power sharing agreement process. this have been repeating that they don't want the military and power. they don't want another power sharing agreement because that that could lead for another ambulatory takeover. they want a civilian government with a civilian prime minister, a civilian head of states, and the military to fall under that leadership and not have its own independent leadership. so they've been commemorating today's anniversary, but they've been for testing for weeks now. months really,

since the take over saying that unless the military hand over power, they will continue to voice their anger and continue to demand a civilian government was still ahead on al jazeera. will he be locked up a long time? ally of former you as president donald trump, the sit to be sentenced, and unrest, and chat after the killing of dozens of antique government protested the un is urging restraint. ah, how are we got some regular forecasts for japan as we go through the next couple days, but not too bad at the moment? got mostly larry of high pressure in charge here. so it is essentially shuttled for the most part. but there, so this co front that will make his way in as we go one through the next couple of days. so that will be some unsettled weather to come as you move through the weekend. there we go with the showers coming to western pos on to northern areas

ah ah ah ah ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories, the salad,

the u. k is expected to have a new prime minister within a week. well that's off to lift trust. resigned on thursday, she lasted just 44 days. the shortest surfing leader and british history. augustine's election commission has disqualified form a prime minister emron. com. from running for office. the commission says con is guilty of unlawfully selling state gifts received from heads of album, nations, and foreign dignitaries. and in the sudanese capital cartoon protest as have been mocking the anniversary of saddam's 1st revolution in 1960 for one, it overthrew military leader and 1st president's abraham a boot. the country has experienced increased political turmoil since another crew . last year. the u. s. is military trainers from iran are in crimea helping russian troops use iranian my drones and attacks on you crying. washington believes iranian trons hit the capital cave and energy facilities across the

country. iran has not reacted to the latest u. s. accusations, but denies the drones ah, rainy and might, we can confirm that russian military personnel based in crimea have been piloted, piling, piloting, excuse me. iranian you a, using, using and conduct kinetic strikes across your crane, including in strikes against cuban and reason dates. we assess that iranian personnel running and military personnel were 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 future. omaha jim turn has more from cave. 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 to utilize the shaheed 136, and

a ross drones. those are those drones that are commonly referred to now as kamikaze drones. and what's interesting though, is that the statement did not specify where exactly the ukrainians 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, 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 a russian forces to be able to utilize those kamikaze drones. we have, over the course of the last week on many occasions, heard presidents lensky and many other officials, bemoaned the fact ad, because they are saying that the iranians are supplying support to russian forces

in ukraine and the ukrainians are claiming that the iranians 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, a flawed assad. he is an associate professor at the faculty of world studies at the university of to ron. he joins us now lie. thank you so much for being on al jazeera. it seems the u. s. same, certain iran is involved as does you cry and saying, all the evidence points to the drones being this. so what's been the reaction in iran to add these latest accusations? you know, the government has denied the sending drones, but the public cause quite them use because russia is one of the leading

arms manufacture in the world. they sold more than $14000000000.00 of arms last year. so the fact the idea that the buying arms from you dont buying groans from iran using iranian technology is quite amusing. so a lot of people, you know, you run husband sanction for the last for the some years. and the idea of developing technology, indigenous technology that the russian need is, is some sort of national pride for the people who believe the american side. so this is quite interesting. you know, the americans just a few years ago were saying that the iranian drones are photoshop, they're not serious. they were questioning, you runs ability in manufacturing grounds. and now they are saying that russia is advancing its military using it on and on. so there is that angle that people are wondering about well,

the us is saying that it's not just supplying drones, but actually there are iranians on the ground in crimea. different take support and training effectively. how likely do you think that is you know, obviously since this is the on the technology, if that is correct, i don't know if it's correct or not. if that is correct, then this is normal in international sales that you would send experts to train the buying country to use whatever the buying country is, is buying. and, you know, people wonder here that if, if it's okay for the american sensibilities, the veterans 1000000000, the billions of dollars every year, and the saudis use that to attack him and, and other places. why shouldn't even be able to sell weapons to international

buyers, given the fact that you don't need the money in the sanctions as causing difficulties in iran. so then what the u. s. is doing indirectly is actually saying that the, the sanctions that they have imposed on iran is not really working out and done is advancing scientifically at the level that the russians need. that, that level of technology from iran, which is quite, if you're talking about sanctions. i mean, this is a risk for iran. i mean, there's already more sanctions could be put on by the with will be introduced because, you know, they are supplying, accused of supplying these chemicals. he drones to russia you know, it on russia relations advancing. and for the sanctions that you had the other day is quite limited, sanctioning people that have been sanctioned already. but i think, you know, on is looking forward to advancing your relations with russia. you know,

the rest and borders of russia are more on this close. so russia is looking towards south. and because of sanctions, i think on is interested to make sure that you know, and russia relations in terms of the economy and the other areas of corporation is increasing. it under the same thing with regard to cut a few years ago when cut out was on the sanction from saudis. the southern board and the symbol is less than a close north was the only place test cutter could use to z each outside world. and russia is basically in the same situation now. and so i think united is looking at the sanctions and looking at russia traditions and you don't is deciding to go with russia now. okay. well thank you very much for your time that as far as addie

from to ron for us. thank you. think after 2 days of talk to you ladies have ramped up yet another summit without reaching agreement on how to solve europe's energy crisis. the prices have surged to as europe tries to cut its dependence on russian supplies, showing how reports from brussels. you countries are in the grip of an energy crisis with gas prices up 300 percent since the outbreak of war in ukraine and e. u . leaders are still gripped by indecision over how to deal with it. because roadmap that now has to be worked on and then implemented. it is a joint purchase big step forward. it is the rules for sharing gas. so the solidarity agreements and the rules that have to be followed in case of a severe disruption. it is a topic of excessive price prices and how to limit them despite hinted agreement

division remains between heavy weights, germany, and france on an energy priced cap. that would see the e u refusing to trade gas above a certain level. germany believes that would lead to supply shortages with trade is simply selling their wares on asian markets for a higher price. they've agreed to keep talking in classic e u style. the leaders have pushed discussions on to energy administers, who meet next week ahead of a possible emergency summit next month. it seems likely they'll agree to some form of cartel style gas buying similar to the methods used to buy a vaccines during the endemic. it is less certain to what extent they may agree on a price cap. they were strategic talks about e u relations with china, which in the context of russia's invasion of ukraine have hardened. obviously, we have to be very vigilant when it comes to dependencies. and we've learned our lesson what the over dependency on fossil fuels from russia is concerned and how

tough but necessary it is to get rid of this dependency. in the case of china, it is the risk of dependency on technologies and raw materials and substantial time was given to ukraine itself, ways of helping to protect its energy infrastructure. the target of repeated russian attack ukraine's president loudermilk zalinski addressed the leaders via video link. he warned that russia was planning further attacks on energy hubs, in particular, or hydro electric dam in the south. yes, it is given always them beat the rush and they're always blow up these damn more than an egg to settle. months it was incurred song was faced, rapid flooding. hundreds of thousands of people will be affected. to eat a head of a freezing winter, he warned her heart of russia's plan is to set off another wave of migration towards the e. u. john hull al jazeera brussels, the steve band,

and the prominent ally of former u. s. president donald trump is due to find out if he will be sentenced to prison. he was found guilty of 2 counts of contempt of congress for failing to comply with the investigation into the january 6th attack on the us capitol hill. heidi is her castro has more for us from washington d. c. now and her, where do we stand? has had been and been sentenced. yes, still not yet tom, although that moment is nearing, we have heard the judge in this case, making some statements saying that he does not think that van and should only have probation. meaning that very likely we're looking at at least a one month minimum term in prison. the judge also said that he agreed with prosecutors that bad and has shown no remorse over his contempt of congress charges . and there was evidence of that that we saw with our own eyes outside the courtroom when ban and told reporters arriving this morning,

that the bite administration was in his words, an illegitimate regime. now who has been. and if you'll remember, this was one of the closest allies of donald trump during his political rise in 2016 ban and a populous leader helped trump when that presidential election later he was serving in the white house under trump for 7 months. and then at the end of trump's term helped the former president fuel the false claims of election fraud. and the committee investigating how it was that trump supporters. a taft, the u. s. capital. early last year, they wanted to speak with bannon, because bannon appear to have had knowledge that this attack was going to unfold, telling his supporters the night before the attack that there would be a revolution. and that all hell would break loose in washington. however, bannon refused the legal order for him to appear before congressional investigators

to answer questions and to show documents which led to his guilty convictions for contempt of congress. so prosecutors are asking for at least 6 months of imprisonment for bannon and we will find out in the coming hours if not minutes, just how the judge will rule will bring that used to you when it does come through . thank you very much. that's heidi sure. castro for us in washington dc. at least 50 people have been killed and a crackdown on anti government protests and chaired violence, broke out off to demonstrate his barricaded roads and torch the governing parties. headquarters in the capital. in jemina, chad has been tense since president's address d. b was shot dead and a gun battle while the thing the front line last year. we are concerned about the violence in the context of the demonstrations that we've seen and chad to day. those demonstrations have reportedly led to the loss of loss of life and injuries.
