in these turbulent times, up front returns for a new season, join me, mark them on hill as we take on the big issues. they are literally being turned back. how is this not a contravention of international law? this is exactly the place for us to interrogate people about issues that matter from the state of democracy around the world to the struggles faced by the under represented. those voices have to be brought to the table. they have the matter. we have to start to talk about the see here. we will challenge the conventional wisdom upfront on al jazeera, unprompted, and uninterrupted discussions from our london broadcast center on out in sierra, ah, italy's far right liter, georgia, maloney has been named the nation's 1st female prime minister and will form the next government.

ah, i'm cyril venue. this is al 0 alive from doha. also coming up, european leaders fail again to agree on the plan to solve the continence energy crisis caused by the war and ukraine. the you case, house of commons leader penny morton becomes the 1st candidate to officially enter the race to replace this trust as prime minister and pakistan's, former prime minister enron con rallies, supporters after he was disqualified from holding off his to 5 years. ah, so at least all right liter georgia, maloney will be the country's new prime minister. she's been asked by president sergio master rella to form the next governments. maloney met the president earlier, assuring him that she can form a stable government despite the tensions within her right wing coalition, which would be at least 1st far right lead government since the end of the 2nd

world war. maloney's conservative block one, the parliamentary majority in elections last month. law only got cynical post the delegation led by heads of groups and presidents of all the political forces of the center. right. coalition met with president martha rella and agreed on the need to give this nation a new government in the shortest possible time. because the urgency is we face are many nationally and internationally. allen friedman is a political journalist. he's the author of the biography my way. berlusconi in his own words. he's currently lagrano and joins us live to shed some light on this. so look, coalition building in italy, we've seen it sometimes take ages. it can be really messy. this time though it should be more straightforward, right? absolutely. yeah, this is the 1st time, but a g 7 pedigree has had a far right leader and ga maloney. it has already done her negotiations with her to coalition partners, 86 year old silvio berlusconi, an anti immigrants, nationalist,

but taylor selby. and she has done the said devising of the goods, creating to deputy prime ministers, one. berlusconi is right hands, a man, antonio play jani, former president of the or environment than the other. but taylor selby. the anti immigrant pro who g o. one of their vision about time in government has been formed . there are 3 right being leaders in it, there's berlusconi. so beanie and maloney, the prime minister. 2 of those 3 are potent apologists, where a scone and big controversy in the last 24 hours for praising, pulled, not attacking zalinski, so that it's an interesting situation that his right hand, nonetheless gets named foreign minister, or maybe tell us a little bit more about that because they had done a good job of these, these 3 parties of presenting a very united front. and then for the reasons that you mentioned over the last 24

hours to days. it seems maybe not quite as united as we thought. those things really fell apart in the last few days because berlusconi started a league audiotape revealed bernasconi talking about his friend who tune with century 20 bottles of vodka for his birthday last week. and now he had sent a tele redwine back, who didn't, and there was all this talk about who was forced to invade your brain. and really it was a lensky sport. it was a very pro who to speech them or is going to gave i closed doors and bologna was very embarrassed. so maloney, even though she is in the past and pro, today she professes to be anti pool pro europe. and so she is basically told berlusconi to stop making those noises. but of course, her other partner sell me is also

a an apologist. and his leg party is still officially a partner of the party in russia. so question for europe will be, is it going to go while, believe will, if we remain a staunch nato ally, will actually continue the drug policy of supporting you praying against the russian and beijing. bologna says yes, her deputies are waltney. we have to explain what is going to mean fatally to have a far right lead government much has been made of this word far. right, right. and, and with some and let's many and this in fact even saying that she, that maloney had neo fascist acquaintances within italy's political landscape. what is a far right lead government going to look like now that it's empower the easiest way for europeans to understand are people around the world to understand what's going on. really is think of what would happen if maureen le pen became president of raps for think of what would happen if the alternative for deutschland,

the far right became head of germany. this is the 1st time that a party that traces as roots to the fascist era because george maloney originally joined as a fascist, already a messiah. when she was a young person. now she found the new party that likes to think of itself as jose, fascist, but still, many of her supporters are still down g, a for the dictator, mussolini. some of them haven't been known to make very, very off color remarks that imply they're still list out for the fastest iraq lini did some good things. so there's a big controversy in italy about it's patches past. and that's because, unlike germany, which after the nazi era had a big national reckoning and came to terms with what happened, italians never had so the fascist resentment has always been there. and so what happens now having italy with the far right leader is hopefully she will be as pro

and european as she says she wants to be. hopefully she will not go crazy with economic policies that are partners are proposed that were irresponsible and stick to the law to get european money and support. and hopefully she will not cut down on civil rights. the big fear really in italy is not fascism. is that maloney already she appointed the speaker of a chamber of deputies who's a homophobic anti muslim. now that was a big anti abortion, a guy, a fellow lorenzo, montana. so the 1st science have not been good. and if and the question for maloney, the does she let her id ology from the far right? it's record though. all right, in that hard. right? or does she follow the safe and narrow path that groggy had because dragon was a great leader. definitely. right now,

italy enters uncertainty waters alan friedman in lavano. thank you very much for that. and time will tell after 2 days of talks, e leaders have wrapped up the summit without reaching agreement on how to solve europe's energy crisis. the prices have surged as you are tries to cut its dependence on russian supplies, shown a whole 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 severe disruption. it is a topic of excessive price prices and how to limit them. despite hints that 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 traders 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 pandemic. it is less certain to what extent they may agree on a price cap and substantial time was given to ukraine itself. ways of helping to protect its energy infrastructure. the target of repeated rushing attack ukraine's president for the mit zalinski addressed the leaders via video link. he warned that russia was planning further attacks on

energy hubs. in particular, hydro electric dam in the south. he's given a list in the rush and they're always blow out these damn more than a 2 settlements, including cars, song was face, rapid flooding. hundreds of thousands of people will be affected to you. ahead of the freezing winter, he warned of russia's plan. they set off another wave of migration towards the e. you join the whole al jazeera, brussels, and the us says military trainers from iran or in crimea helping russian troops use a range and made drones to attack ukraine. washington believe the range, drones hit the capital key as well as energy facilities across the country. iran has not reacted to the latest us accusations, but denies that the drones are 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 future . and the leader of the u. k. the house of commons, penny morden, has officially entered the freight to become the new prime minister in the u. k. she's one of the 3 top candidates emerging to replace the very short lived leader. liz truss former chancellor richey soon act reportedly has the backing of more than 50 m p 's so far, and that would put him halfway to the nomination. as for former prime minister boris johnson, he's also gathering supporters, including including defense secretary ben wallace, that you really have to wanted is a prime minister. and to do that job, you have to really, really think it, it's the job for you. for me,

i feel that i can add the best value in keeping people safe at defense by being the defense century is the issue of the mandate. this with will be our potentially our 3rd prime minister since the general election to the 19. that means we have to think about that legitimate legitimacy question that the public will be asking themselves, and also about who could win the next election that obviously important for any political party at the time. so in, at the moment i would lean towards boris johnson. the need worker is in london need what a ride. the last 24 hours have been. we now have our 1st official candidates. a penny morton clearly decided that her interest would be best served by declaring herself early yeah, that's right. plenty more than not massively well known outside the united kingdom, but a prominent figure domestically. she served under bras. johnson in his cabinet as defense, secretary for a very brief period of time. and then also more recently as lead of the house in the trust government. she's also held multiple ministerial roles over the years as

well. and for many people she seen as somebody that they can coalesce around a unity candidate that doesn't come with some of the authority. controversies linked to the other 2 prominent figures that are likely to be in the running are yet to declare their intention though they of course, as she mentioned their re she soon at the former chancellor. and at yesterday's man who may well be tomorrow's prime minister, boris johnson knew, of course, is mired in controversy towards the end of his time in office who would have thought its ease. now currently tips as being possibly 2nd in the running in the leadership concept. but as i say, there's no indication as yet that they are going to make their intention official. we wait to see whether that of course will happen this evening, or whether that will happen over the weekend. i'm in terms of penny more than no. she, somebody who has been experienced in terms of in the running before she was in the race over the summer. she came 3rd secondary, she soon like that election, of course, on this trust when an election race that was actually 10 days longer than let's

trust his entire time in office. look, he would have thought it, we are again, the race has begun need. we're operating on a very tight timeline here because we'll have the name of the nominated candidates by monday and we should have the name of the next prime minister a week from now on friday. so we'll be speaking to you again. thank you very much. need barker? in london, there's still a head on al jazeera, donald trump's, the long term, a long time ally, steve, been in a sentence to jail. we'll have a live update for you. disputes about land in sedans, moon, i'll state kill dozens of people in today's stay. what else? ah, anticipation is rising. and so with sponsored my cattle aways. hello, we got some ready,

the forecasts for japan as we go through the next couple days. not too bad at the moment. got most of the larry of high pressure in charge here. so it is essentially settled for the most part, but they, so this co front that will make its way in as we go one through our 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 parts of hon. shoe northern areas pushing up to was qaeda linking their way back towards c, a korean peninsula possible. this is wet weather coming through here for a time, a little more widespread as we go one through sunday. find a drive for a good part of china, some live the showers. they're down towards a tie, one, joining up with some tropical systems, couple of tropical systems, just around the south trying to cease to the north of the philippines, pushing over towards vietnam. very wet weather coming through here over the next day or so. usual scattering a showers across much of southeast asia, all the way through malaysia into indonesia, a repeat performance as we go one through sunday, that wet weather that we have for vietnam will get shunted a little further south was left because we got dry weather coming back into much of

indo china. wet weather that just around the nick bar islands. adams. see, this is developing area of low pressure and it will bring very heavy right towards ne impass of india to with sponsored by cats on a ways ah, ah, ah, a

the me, you're watching l 0. reminder of our headlines this hour, at least all right liter georgia, maloney has been asked by the president to become new prime minister, maloney met with sergio martha rella, assuring him that she can quickly form a new government despite the attentions within her right wing coalition. you leaders have failed to agree on how to solve europe's energy crisis. they met for to day some it's in brussels to discuss price caps on gas as price or prices. serge, as europe tries to cut its dependence on russian, supplied the leader of the u. k. the house of commons, any more than his officially entered the fray to become the new prime minister. former chancellor richie sou neck reports that we have the backing of more than 50 mp so far. and former prime minister boys johnson is also gathering supporters of steve been in the prominent l. i a former us president donald trump has been

sentenced to 4 months in prison. he was found guilty of 2 counts of contempt of congress for failing to comply with the investigation into the january 6 attack on the u. s. capital. i want to say one thing i respect the judge, the sense he came down with today is his decision. i fully respect, i've been totally respectful, just hire process. on the legal side today was my judgement day by the judge. and he stated, for the appeal will have a very vigorous appeals process. i've got a great legal team as of the multiple areas of appeal, a defiant steve. been in there, heidi joe castro's in washington dc to break down the vertical band. and you know, he's one of the most recognizable faces of the trump era. put some context around this for us hiding. sure. 0. so we know 4 months in prison for the misdemeanor. convictions of contempt of congress. that is substantial. there's little precedent for that. but it is still less than what prosecutors had wanted,

which was 6 months. and it is far more than the 0 prison time that bannon had argued for now the judge and explaining his decision said that factors he weighed included, that he wanted to send a message that others must be deterred from committing similar crimes. and that baron was unrepentant. until the last moment and still unrepentant. bannon totally reporters prior to his sentence saying that the vitamin restoration was an illegitimate regime. now he recently regained favor with trump by a spreading the lie that trump was his foul saying that the 2020 election had been stolen prior to that bad. and was indeed one of trump's close as advisors was one of the architects of trumps. rise to populist power in 2016 and a close advisor during the 1st months of trumps, administration and investigators in congress also suspected banning of having knowledge of the january 6 attack on capitol prior to it happening. they point 2

statements at mann and made the day before the attack, telling supporters that there would be a revolution in washington. and that all hell was going to break loose. but hannon but bannon defied the subpoena to appear before that committee and give evidence. and that is why he was found guilty of contempt of congress. and now he has been allowed a chance to appeal this sentence. so it still may be months 0 before he actually sets foot in prison. but he has been sentenced for 4 months in prison to be served at a certain time if he loses his appeal. should donald trump me concerned about this? i mean, are there any lessons there for the former president? you could draw some parallels because just the other week, the prompt to was subpoenaed by the same committee to testify and to present documents. now trump has not said whether or not he will comply. and as i said earlier, there's little precedent as to people who've been prosecuted and convicted of

contempt of congress. but certainly trump and his attorneys would be watching bad and state closely to see of his close allied, truly will serve those for months in prison. but that is so far down the road given that this entire investigation into trumps involvement in january 16, it may go away. and just a few months time if republicans recapture control of the u. s. congress, hydro castro, importing life, washington d. c. thank you very much. pakistan's election commission has disqualified former prime minister iran con. from running for office. the commission says that con is guilty of unlawfully selling state gifts received from foreign leaders and dignitaries. the case against the former prime minister was filed in august just as love. by the time my message reaches, i may be arrested in an illegal case that should make it clear to all of you that are fundamental rights which our constitution provides have been violated. and

democracy has been buried. i'm appealing to all of you that you have to come out. you have to wait a struggle against this race system, which is creating terror and fear you do the story. you must be broken. only then will allow us to real freedom and come all hider is falling developments from mariann and pakistan. this particular case, of course, is seen as controversial given the fact that the legal fraternity, particularly the former prime minister, the charges up when you're typically motivate date, date of god, is within the budget on these rules. because all the gifts are received by the head of state or senior minister in buckets, dawn can be bought back initially. it was the rule that you had to pay 25 percent of the price m. ron had raised that to 50 percent and brought the opposition saying

that they were in regularity. or the legal team also thing that he can not be disqualified by the election commission of august on which does not have the jurisdiction of a court appointed legal team of got to immediately are going to go to the upper court. the supreme court or the law i court where they will challenge it, saying that the election commission does not have the mandate or disqualify anyone that did the jurisdiction of the court. and this of course just coming at the time of great political instability within budget on because m ron khan had threatened, i did. the board will march on islam abad. lay siege to the capital in order for his demands to be accepted. trelin cuz parliament has voted to limit the powers of the president, the power to appoint officials, including judges, and police will now line with a constitutional counsel. it follows protests over so long as worst economic and political crisis and decades. unrest earlier this year led to the resignation of

the military is deal or the part that is supposed to take care of was the security guard. and it has proven that it is not doing its job. it's not doing it or. and apart from that, the piece agreement that was mentioned earlier in the report, it just shows that this piece agreement was a power sharing agreement, not an actual piece agreement, because violence has never stop you to this peace agreement. and it only shows that the power, the partners in the job, a peace agreement were there to become that they have become the political face of the military that happened in, not in last october a year ago. and they have not been actively that they have not conducted these, these agreements in the, in, with the intent of bringing actual piece to the people. saddam, rather it was just for the ship power sharing process in the capital cartoon.
