8:01 pm
ah, it is great to have you with us. i'm so venue. this is al jazeera, alive from doha. also coming up in the show. european leaders fail again to agree on a plan to solve the continents energy crisis caused by the war and ukraine. the you case house of commons leader penny morton becomes the 1st candidate to officially into the race to replace las truss as prime minister and pakistan's, former prime minister, a moron, con rallies supporters after he was disqualified from holding office for 5 years. ah. but at least for right liter, georgia, maloney will be the country's new prime minister. she's been asked by president sergio montela to form the next government. maloney met the president earlier and assured him that she can form a stable government. spite the tensions that have emerged within, hey,
8:02 pm
or right wing coalition, which would be at least 1st fall right, lead government since the end of the 2nd world war, maloney's conservative block won the parliamentary majority and elections. last month. they got sent to 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 our money nationally and internationally. alan friedman is a political journalist and experts on italian politics. he says, many of maloney's supporters are established for italy under fascism. george maloney originally joined as a fascist already all the m. s. i. when she was a young person, now she founded a new party that likes to think of itself as post fascist. but still, many of her supporters are still the sounds it for the dictator,
8:03 pm
mussolini. some of them have been known to make very, very off color remarks. that imply they're still list out there for the fascist iraq. was lini, did some good things. so there's a big controversy in italy about it's crashes past. and that's because, unlike germany, which after the nazi iraq had a big national reckoning and came to terms with what happened you, italians never had. so the fascist resentment is always been there. and so what happens, know, having italy with the far right leader is hopefully she will be as promo and european as she says she wants to be. hopefully she will not go crazy with economic policies that her partners are proposed that we're responsible and stick to the law to get european money and support. and hopefully she will not cut down on civil rights. and if and the question for maloney will be, does she let her ideology from the far right expressed itself in that hard? right?
8:04 pm
or does she follow the safe and narrow path? but rodney had, because dragon was a great leader of italy. right now, italy enters uncertain waters. after 2 days of talks, leaders have wrapped up a summit without reaching agreement on how to solve europe's energy crisis. the prices have surged as europe tries to cut its dependence on russian supplies. joan 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
8:05 pm
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 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,
8:06 pm
the target of repeated russian attack ukraine's president for the mid zelinski address, 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 raised in the rush, and they're always blow out. more than a settlement including cars, song was face rapid flooding. hundreds of thousands of people will be affected. to keep ahead of the freezing winter, he warned. of russia's plan, they set off another wave of migration towards the e. u. g. a whole al jazeera, brussels, and the u. s. s. military trainers from iran or in crimea helping russian troops use iranian, made drones to attack ukraine. washington believe the ring drones hit the capital cave 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
8:07 pm
military personnel based in crimea have been piloted, piling, piloting, excuse me, around in use and using and conduct kinetic strikes across the crane. including in strikes against cuban and reason dates. we assess that iranian personnel, runny and military personnel were on the ground in crime yet, and assisted russia in these operations. russia has received dozens of these u a b, so far and will likely continue to receive additional shipments in the future. and momentum, whom is why for us and keep reporting on what's going on there. what's the current situation as we speak mom and will cyril as of right now in keep in the surrounding region, it's relatively calm. we did have air raid sirens blaring out much earlier in the day actually have happened twice throughout the day, but then both times it ended without any explosions taking place. and we were given
8:08 pm
the all clear, i wanna tell you about russian strikes according to ukrainian officials that happened in other parts of the country. it was reported that in car keith, there were russian strikes, hit administrative and infrastructure buildings that earlier today. according to the car, keep a blas governor. there were 6 people that were injured as a result of those strikes and were told that emergency work is ongoing and that information about the extent of the damage on those sites is still being clarified . there were other strikes that ukrainian officials that happened in the upper reaches, according to officials. russia attacked is up a ratio with s $300.00 missiles. also, earlier this morning, a residential building was damaged. a school was damaged and several critical infrastructure sites were damaged according to officials. they say that as of now, 3 people were injured as a result. so look, we're also getting reports that russia wants to target dam in southern ukraine. now,
8:09 pm
what can you tell us about that? because if, if that were to happen, potentially, that could be catastrophic damage. that's right. and, and cyril, that's what ukrainian president below the mercy lensky a has been saying these past couple of days. president zalinski is accusing russia of mining and preparing to blow up the cove kit damn at the cutoff co hydro electric power plant in southern ukraine. he says that that if it were destroyed, this could devastate the water supply to much of the south that it could lead to wide scale disaster. he said that more than 80 settlements, including the city of care san could be hit by rapid flooding as a result. and he added that this could leave these apple reach a power plant without cooling water. now this dam is under russian occupation right now, but ukrainian forces have been closing in, in recent days. we should add that president zalinski is address when it comes to
8:10 pm
this came after the russians had accused ukrainian forces of firing missiles at this damn. and that is a charge that ukrainian officials deny, but as you said, a ukrainian officials including the president saying that that if this damn were targeted, this would be a very much something that could really devastate that reaching snaps. absolutely. all right, muhammad, thank you very much. the leader of the you case, house of commons, penny mordant, has officially entered the fray to become the new prime minister. she's one of the top 3 candidates emerging to replace the very short lived leaderless trust. former chancellor richey soon act reportedly has the backing of more than 50 impedes so far. that would put him half way to the nomination. they need a 100 and piece to back them. and former prime minister for his johnson is also gathering supporters among them. defense secretary ben wallace. you really have to
8:11 pm
want to do the prime minister 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 with defense cetera is the issue of the mandate. this will be potentially off. the 3rd prime minister seems to general less than $2900.00. that means we have to think about that, which is the jim c 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 at the moment i would lean towards boris johnson, i need barca joins us live now from london. me. we've got richey su, neck. we've got penny morton, we've got maybe even boris johnson, it feels like the horse race is pretty much said. who really stands a chance of becoming the next prime minister? yeah, this looks like it's shaping up to be a 3 horse race bird. only one of those of the officially declare that they are putting themselves forward a full at race. and it's of course,
8:12 pm
penny more than as you mentioned, that of the current leader of the house and the list trust government, the outgoing governments of list trusts. she formerly served enforce thompson's cabinet very briefly as defense secretary and has held all sorts of other ministerial roles. so she's pretty well known domestically not so much internationally. and she has also taken pass in the race of tumbling the before the summer. i coming 3rd off to richey snack. that election, of course, led to list trust, becoming prime minister and election race that last 10 days longer than trust is entire time. in office i, we are hearing of course more and more about the current employees with the conservative policy who are throwing that support though behind the likes of snack and forest johnson. we've heard that such a javi, the former chancellor for my house secretary, a heavy weight in the conservative party is backing wishy c nacken as we heard that ben wallace, the defense secretary, backing forest johnson. the battle lines are being drawn. what is clear though,
8:13 pm
is that by next friday we will have the 3rd prime minister in the space of a year is the 1st time since 18. 34 in this country has had 3 prime ministers in a period of 12 months. all right, ne barker reporting live from london. thank you very much. still ahead on al 0, donald trump's long time ally steve bannon is sentenced to jail. will have a live updates disputes about land incidence blue. i'll state killed dozens of people in 2 days. ah however, we got some pleasant sunshine across much of the middle east, not too warm now, but further north. there is some rather lively weather route around the caucasus. we see some heavy rain to care. eastern paths,
8:14 pm
$139.00 millimeters of right in 24 hours. that band of cloud there that stretches across sir ga, pushing up towards the caspian in the sinking further south. it's a northern parts of around. we'll see some live you shows as we go on through sass day, at where to where the coming in across sir parts of syria, northern areas of iraq, it pushes all the way down to the far north of a saudi arabia. but to the south that there you go is fi and drive some lovely sunshine, 36 celsius here in doha, on sunday afternoon. that sherry way may well bring a few spots of rain there to northern areas of a dip. nothing too much to speak of. and normally breeze just blowing in here, plenty a shower across central africa, still some showers there to southern parts of chad into southern areas of nigeria. the wessa weather now started to push his way further southwards, as it should do so, we will see that where to where the stretching its way across so much of the gulf of guinea cameron seeing some rather wet weather and heavier showers into northern parts of angola. wet weather to which that eastern side of south africa pushing
8:15 pm
into a mattress and peak ah, with frank assessments. if the united states surely felt that you're running a good program, was there to build a nuclear weapon. they would have signed the deal by informed opinions. i believe that armenia agenda should have bilateral negotiations. we've been holding that for many times. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king chose will take home in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera lou. ah,
8:16 pm
you're watching al jazeera reminder of our headlines this hour. at least fall right leader of georgia, maloney has been asked by the president to become new prime minister the loan he met with sergio matter rela, assuring him she can quickly form a new government despite the tensions that have emerged within her right wing coalition. e leaders have failed to agree on how to solve europe's energy crisis. they met for a 2 day summit in brussels to discuss price caps on gas as prices. serge, with europe trying to cut its dependence on the russian supplies the leader of the you case, house of commons, benny morton has officially entered the freight to become the new prime minister. former chancellor richey soon check reportedly has the backing of more than 50 mph so far. and former prime minister boris johnston for his part is also gathering supporters, including the defense secretary, ben was lebanese officials will be signing a historic maritime agreement with israel on wednesday. the u. s. broke
8:17 pm
a deal and decades of hostility over the parish gas feel located in the eastern mediterranean. this will allow for energy exploration on both sides, us energy and boy, i most hostile will be in be route for the signing. however, a traditional signing with leaders from israel and lebanon present is unlikely given that the 2 countries are still technically at war 11 non initially had a number of concerns about this agreement. the 1st was about the borderline. here's what it looks like. it's marked by the boys in the water, and it was created by israel when it's forces withdrew from lebanon in 2000 a root for language, and the draft deal to be changed so that this wouldn't become an international maritime border. it's being referred to now as a demarcation. second, there was a disagreement of where exactly the demarcation would be and whether the common gas field, which is in southern lebanese exploration block, extended into his really waters or not,
8:18 pm
will that feel hasn't been explored yet. lebanon refuses to pay any profits from its share of qana israel and lebanon's 3rd concern at once french oil giant to tell in elsie, to work with it independently of any projects it might have with israel. alright, joining me now from the ruth is las bu, sorry, he is lebanon's deputy speaker of parliament. he was the lead negotiator of this maritime border deal with israel. sir, thank you for joining else's here with the day you, you just made a deal with a country that live on doesn't recognize, has the needle shifted, perhaps on normalization of pies between israel and lebanon. thanks for having me. actually, we did have an agreement with the us government, so that israelis, so this is not a direct negotiation. that is not an agreement to normalize relationship between lebanon, israel, this is simply a, an agreement with the u. s. government, they broke this deal. this is his thoughts that would deal between israel and
8:19 pm
lebanon. excuse me, it's still a deal, even though it was broken by the us. it is still a deal between israel and lebanon. you can call to whatever you might, but end of the day we did not have a negotiation, automatic negotiation. and that agreement is just to make sure that everyone understands. we're the border is and who gets the rights from which font. so basically, entering into an agreement with a full fledged agreement is not the case. here. this is we are only discussing about settling the border dispute and agreeing that the. it's an everybody's best interest at this point to have a stable border where each country can maximize its, its potential. uh, you know, gas extraction from both sides of the water because it is an economical need for live on as much as it is for is right. so, you know this, this was an agreement with the knife with the united states. we have agreed that
8:20 pm
there be a u. s. the nation. and then we ended up with the, with the set them up. yes. good. this paved the way for other negotiations with israel, even if indirect, even if brokerage by the usa may be a negotiation on the land border between lebanon in israel. there is an ongoing host of discussion about the land border. i thought that was on the united nation. i don't think would there be any problem, even if it's broken by the united states. and i understand, you know, i think we should be in that direction. we need to move in to finalizing the new mark issue, whether it's the land border or the remaining part of the maritime borders that we left for, you know, on, on the meeting at this point. all right, let's talk about the content of this deal. this was all about where the demarcation line would end up, who gets what gas field lebanon had originally claimed parts of the kurdish gas field. that field is commercially viable. it is being exploited, but in the end,
8:21 pm
it falls entirely to israel and lebanon is left with the majority of the counter exploration block, which may not even contain gas. we don't know what it contains. so why is this a good agreement for lebanon? a level as deposited its a lion and serve the markesha, the maritime order demarkation, about 11 years ago in the united nation. and we have said that this is what level considered to be its water. and the, in that demarkation, lebanon really, you know, didn't get basically all of this the one occasion we didn't got the same a boundary that we deposited 11 years ago. so. busy that is why after 11 years of negotiation, we had some 100 phases. even with american mediation in the past, we started with these ratings were deposit blind one, we would deposit line 23, then we have an offline which was broken by the u. s. division at that time,
8:22 pm
lebanon rejected it. and now, eventually we received, or we got out of this, the line 23, which is what we asked for a long time ago. now you saying that gary is, is, is further a south, at some point, yes, lebanon looked at on its options. and the options will give you several new medication lines because there are different methods that you use. usually when you do your demarcus. but it's very clear end of the day, it's what both sides agreed on a settlement. so there is like a futon, a, you know, requirement a half and a 0 from what you would ask for. and the same did these ladies and end of the day, we settled on an agreement that was broken by the united states. that those would be our coordinates and this would be our line. and it had been 3 the line that never known as deposited in the united nation 11 years ago. why did, has bella end up agreeing to this?
8:23 pm
it was only a few months ago earlier this summer. they were threatening to attack as really all facilities in the mediterranean. israel says it intercepted has been drones so wide . it has been lined up agreeing to this. before i answer that, i skipped the pile that you mentioned about cano because you didn't mention that live. i don't get most of kind of feet in this agreement or about 80 percent, i believe. yes, not lebanon is getting. it's right from the phone. or, you know, canopy, and basically, a lebanon gets 100 percent. now the developer, in this case it's still dial and it's partners and partners with the plan. they will have a financial agreement with israelis that they will re wondering them from their own chair or profit. but as far as their mom is concerned, level is getting. it's shared from 100 percent of the fee, both that are on the southern side of the d mark line and the northern line. don't
8:24 pm
northern side of the the mark. so israel would answer, israel would answer, sorry for interrupting that. they will also get through this deal 17 to 20 percent of their share of the any profits that arise from the explorer exploitation of the can i field. i just explained to you how i told you this is gonna go through to tell i understand. no, but you're telling me lebanon gets not, i would look like, no, no it's prompted, dies profits because as you know, the demo. but usually in every place in the world, it's common. they take a percentage out of the field. and in our case, the time is and it's one of the partners are taking between 38 to 42 percent of the fees. that was, that was an agreement that was signed in 2017. so it's not something that we are doing you for the 1st time. we are as thinking to the are 58 to 62 percent dependence on the volume that's in the field, that lebanon guess. in addition, we are confirming that lebanon gets,
8:25 pm
it's 58 to 62 percent from the buyer field of qana. so, as i get from integration, i said it, but they get it from the province. inevitably, to be perfectly clear because you're talking, you're, you're saying lebanon will get its share of the profit from cannon, and israel will get it's through from, from the towel, share. we don't know if there's going to be any profit from canada. is that fair? we don't know, this is at this time, this is a prospect but, but this prospect has been marked by 3, the mapping and the li 3. the mapping. the initial mapping is showing that this prospect is a good one, but we won't know until they really start the the grid. but it is showing right now that it may have up to $1.00, d, c, f, which is 3 and cubic feet of gas inside the v. a just compared to carry shot each that has got each one and get it. you got each one is $1.00, d, c, f, and get issue is similar about $1.00, d c, f. so more or less,
8:26 pm
it's almost close to the size of courage. if after duly, we discovered that the 3 b mapping is accurate and there is a possibility that the guys will be extracted from there. so yes, it's not, we're not talking about a, you know, something that has not been match. yeah. they did the initial study on it, and that's what a joke must. you're right. no one can confirm anything other than running takes place, right? and even, even if the drilling finds that there is gas in the, in their kind of feel, it would still take years, experts estimate maybe 4 to 6 years before that can actually be exploited. one more question for you on, on what might happen with relation to israel's upcoming elections. benjamin netanyahu, of course, is going to be a candidate in those elections has already said that he is going to torpedo this deal. if he becomes the next is really prime minister, are you afraid that this deal my break down because of what's happening in is
8:27 pm
really politics? no, i'm not afraid of that because of 2 reasons. the 1st one is mr. jonathan. yeah. who will be basically a cancelling an agreement that the is or is i have with the united states. so that's step one. and the do, he knows that even if he was in the government and the current government in the current situation with the address of the europeans and the americans and everyone is i would mean a stable border. so does lemon on his are, is i would need to benefit from its economic wife because they didn't sign agreements with the europeans on, they must deliver and saw them on interested in developing its fees. so he knows that the only choice for both countries, lemon on an israel lava stable border and do benefit for both countries is to go and have such an agreement the alternative to that would be a war. and well, that's what everybody understood. and that's, i think,
8:28 pm
what made us reach this agreement, we want stability. we want to explore guys, we want lever on to benefit economically. they have the same interest when both countries share the same address. and they know there's only one way to do it is through an agreement like the one we did. i think after the election you will hear a different authority from the israeli, or what additions or m as in paul, it is and power. well, we'll find out pretty soon. what's it? yes. what one thing this did would not happen if the americans did not really broker this fair deal as we go to the american or, you know, mediate on our hosting game with a different mentality. he came with something totally new. he took a different turn and he said, this is a new way to think about it. we need to have a win win situation. we cannot have a win lose. we can't force lebanon to lose in this new occasion. and we must be led up as rail is we, they got also what they want and out of the b. so this abroad,
8:29 pm
this new dynamic that our austin and his team. i'm follow basically made the difference and president by then currently in all the problems around the world they did for us and they did assist both countries in the short time to be able to reach where we are to be. well, look, certainly i think all observe as of this situation would agree. it's quite remarkable that a win win could be found. and that's why it is raise the question of whether there could be potentially, whether that could be a blueprint for further negotiations. but we've, we've addressed all those questions las mussa. thank you so much for your time. thanks for speaking to us on al jazeera today. thank you. all right, i want to go to pakistan now where the election commission has disqualified former prime minister, enron, kon, from running for office. the commission says 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. there was a lot of people just don't get it was up. by the time my message reaches,
8:30 pm
i may be arrested in an illegal case. this 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 is system which is creating terror and fear you do. the story of fear must be broken only then will allow you us to real freedom. a steve been in the prominent ally of 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 us capital. i want to say one thing, i respect the judge, the sense he came down with the day is his decision. i fully respect, been totally respectful, says tire process. on the legal side today was my judgement day by the judge. and he stated for the appeal it will have a very.
