changes are afoot. where's nigeria? not yet. the rains that spell a week ago, and before that i'll still there in this particular area. this video shot the day or so ago, so it hasn't yet stopped. and then the forecast there is yet more right. not through all of not jerry, nor indeed, central oscar public or camera, but this area, particular sub, not your is still going to see more rain during monday and probably tuesday, although the trend is to be of itself. ah, we understand the differences of culture across the world. so no matter how you take it out, there will be the news and current affairs that matter to you count as they are. ah,

the former you can finance minister wishes to knock emerges as a favor to become prime minister off to boris johnson drops out of the race. ah ha. on monday inside this is out. is there a lie from day hong? so coming up, pakistani investigative journalist, critical of his government is shot dead in kenya. ukraine denies the russian defense ministers allegations it's planning to use a so called dirty ball. and on his riley court rejects an appeal to release the palestinian prisoner, his timely ill with cancer. ah

hello, welcome bars. johnson has dropped out of the race to become leader of the u. k. conservative party, a decision that likely paves the way for richie to knock to become the next prime minister. johnson returned to the united kingdom on saturday, fueling speculation of a possible come back. just months after he resigned as leader allan fisher has the latest. is he not? he is the front runner for the job as britton's makes prime minister. but rushes to neck is preceding cautiously. a short written statement, promising integrity, professionalism, and accountability. and then off to raleigh support. i the only other declared candidate is cabinet minister penny more did. she has backing but as yet not enough to hit the magic mark of 100 m p. supporting her to get into a runoff election. i am very confident about the progress we're making and i will

say to you that i am in this to win it. i think it's important for our party. we have a contest. i am very confident about our numbers. and it's i, the reason why i'm doing this is because i think i am best place to bring the party together. both had been waiting to see what bullish johnson was going to do. he flew in from holiday at the weekend to rally support for a political cumber his resignation almost 4 months ago led to las trust being elected as conservative party leader and prime minister i mrs. baker, i can, i can tell. but in a statement late on sunday, much as he admitted there would be no political resurrection for him. seeing i believe i am well pleased to deliver a conservative victory in 2024. and to night i can confirm that i have cleared the very high huddle of 102 nominations, including a proposal and a secondary. and i could put my nomination into model. you can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament. and that was

a huge concern for some conservative m. p 's. i've never know this sort of rank division and it is very do stay garage east. they go to the party, these they browsing for the country to for no, only one contender soon. it has the support to meet the 100 m p threshold. if that remains the case, he will be the new conservative leader and the new prime minister. and what will be a coronation, rather than a contest now, our fisher al jazeera london also ask a lie to antonio simmons here is in london for us, and a bar is pulling out changes things significantly as this now one horse race. well, it certainly is looking that way, borrows johnson declaring that sir, initially that it was in the national interest that he should stand, you know, coming here like a and knights in shining armor, leaving the sunshine and sound behind. but really,

there was never any real chance of actually doing it. it would appear because the conservative parliamentary party just don't want that baggage from johnson here in downing street plays a party gate. the fact that there's an investigation, a parliamentary investigation still going on. devoris johnson bar, as johnson, he be sidelined by that if he wants to come to pow, it was technically possible if it was put to the whole country. that whole country's conservative membership because he is quite popular out there, but in parliamentary terms. no. so he has declared that he had a 102 votes. we'll never know have any votes he had in truth because each media organization has been pushing and checking out who's, who's, who's going to vote? where that the figures according to, according to media or anything between 20 and up to 60 votes for him, but not enough, not enough of that 100 margin. now the spotlight is on very much on soon. act. soon act is has all the right attributes. it would seem for the city he's respected in

the city, and he's like, by the police parliamentary party. some have doubts about him because of the way he back stabbed morris johnson. he went for him along with many other people. many of the other people who at the time or a soaking 2 months ago, who at the time were actually saying all, look, you've got to stand and go to san dow, have this time for they were backing the right horse and voted were beds a vote for him. so this is a big, big, funny, old mix of british politics. but the bottom line is we might seeking an announcement of the new prime minister on monday. it could be hours away because there is no need to act, go to the national membership of the conservative party. if there's only one contender who qualifies. so that that would be what's called a coordination. don't start. think he was. that is the involvement of think july 3rd, and that's, that's a totally separate issue. coronation. meaning we don't need to go to the membership

to confirm what's actually happening so. so yes, this is a situation we could have, believe it or not, a new prime minister here in downing street within a matter of matter of hours the announcement, and then a matter of 24 hours a going to king charles the 3rd at 2 to actually be asked to perform a government, we understand that king charles is available not show this windsor or buckingham palace, but available over the next 24 hours for that to happen. so just go through the timeline for us in more detail and j. is there still a chance that penny mordant could gather more support by lunchtime? it's a highly unlikely the figure we've got now for her is something over 20 votes. now the could be quite a lot of votes gained from people who were going to back or is johnson who don't like, who don't like the prospect of soon act being prime minister. however,

though, those numbers aren't likely to be that big, we understand people like to back winners in the conservative party, especially if their names might become public. so it does look as if a lot of votes are transferring to soon are consumed, like as in a good place already having gone past the, the, the number of a 100 or minimum in terms of timings. as i say, 13 g is the close of nominations. if the modern does some spectacular, a magical increase in her support, then that would be our 1st ballot results at 17 g m t. and then we've been a position where the house, the whole thing has to go to the country with an online vote, but expect very much so soon that to win this. okay, thank you for that. andrew simmons there for us in london. at least 60 people had been killed in an ass strike either me and mar military in the northern catch in states. the victims were asked and event celebrating the anniversary of the catch

an ethnic groups political wing. as go straight to tenure, chang, who's in bangkok for us, tony? what more do we ne we understand that this was a celebration taking place at about 9 p. m. local time. last night. 3 men, my air force jets attacked. what appeared to be this, a big festival. several celebrated kitchen singers were on stage at the time we understand, they are included in the fatalities. this took place and can see village in park and township. an area which is famous for its jade mining is very difficult to get precise information. although the, that the number of fatalities has just been confirmed to al jazeera by a former m p who's, who's in the area at the moment. that, that area has there been a lot of resistance to the military coup. the,

the kitchen independence army had been fighting quite fiercely against them for some time. it's been closed off to the internet. that's why it's taking so long for this information to filter out. but i was on the border with near martin speaking to people about how the mir mom military is engaged in this conflict to the moment . and they say that in many of these areas where they're fighting, armed ethnic groups, the mere managers using these techniques where they have spotted planes up in the air, particularly at night where people are very scared to turn on lights. because those spots are planes, colon, anything they stay see and that air strikes or artillery artillery strikes, then follow. so while information is still coming in about this, it does certainly follow very disturbing pattern that we're seeing from here. mars military. okay, thank you for that update. tony chang, there for us in bangkok. now a well known pakistani journalists are sod serif husband killed in kenya. police

last few days. it's bad to be reversed because it's big circulating, learn the bay biscuit. it's got quite an influence, it's spreading rain and wind into spain and portugal, france and eventually run across the british off into world scandinavia. we're temperatures with that. softly wind will come up again, quite surprisingly. so a bit of a focus part time we get to tuesday, although it's still coldest in petersburg and the northern part of finland everywhere else has come up. anything up to peggy, 10 degrees with a covering of cloud. and rain is not heavy rain for the most part is the wind direction that's telling here, but the still heat around in europe and a lot of it, it's not quite reco breaking, but it gets close in places, bulgaria, back through italy in particular, back to spain once again, let's take, for example, quarterback, temperature. he's going up to 31, then 30 to remind you it should be going down. be going to autumn not into summer, but you would not know to fewer in color. that's been reco breaking heat in morocco to same sort of reason. breeze out the interior that'll probably continue and it's quite a breeze bringing the dust up in some places in the sauce on sahara. as for the

rain down in nigeria, it has not gone away. it is slowly going size, but as yet more to come the next few days, at least. ah frank assessments, if the united states should, we felt that the iranian nuclear program was there to build a nuclear weapon. they were trying to deal by informed opinions, i believe that armenia and that sort of 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.

radioactive material. absurd and dangerous rushes defense minister, sagacious go, is reported to a voice concerned during phone calls. what have british, french and turkish defense ministers, moscow's provided no evidence to back. the accusations shall you also spoke to the u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin in the 2nd phone call in 3 days. i, forth, it has more from keith or hear ukraine. this round of calls being given by the defense minister should go of russia to his opposite numbers in france, inter here in the united kingdom. and now in the united states, as well as be labeled, a carousel of calls by the ukraine. president lamar zalinski on the message coming from here is that there is an attempt by the russians to escalate at the very least the rhetoric and potentially prepare the ground for some kind of false flag attempt . that is something that the russians are accusing the ukrainians of our president

lensky said. it was the other way round a little boy. if someone could use a nuclear weapon in our part of europe, it could only be one entity. and this entity is the one who ordered short group to make these calls. if russia is calling to tell everyone around that, ukraine is supposedly preparing something. it means only one think. russia has already prepared all of this equal. there is a similar statement from the foreign minister of ukraine, a little earlier. he said that these claims coming from russia were absurd and dangerous. he said that ukraine was a member of the nonproliferation treaty, had no such nuclear capabilities or ambitions. and that's when russia makes these sorts of allegations, it usually means that it's planning something itself along such lines. the you take ministry of defense also gave it's read out of the call between defense minister ben wallace and his opposite number a show you saying that they refuted such claims and that they cautioned that such

allegations should not be used as a pretext for greater escalation so the russians are saying that the ukrainians are trying to build up some kind of a device to carry out a false flag attack the ukrainians. eric, using the russians of exactly the same thing. it is notable that russia does seem to be very much on the back foot in southern ukraine, around her son, evacuations of civilians, reports of evacuations of military equipment as well. the ukrainians are saying that communications net excel also being cut there in advance of its potential ukrainian recapture of that very important strategic city. so a lot of eyes are on that area. the russians are saying that the ukrainians, a concocting this device that at the ledges they are putting together not too far away from her son. at least a 133 children have died from acute kidney injury in indonesia. now their deaths are being linked to tainted syrups, including cuff medication, which were found to contain harmful harmful chemicals. jessica washington reports

from jakarta. as kara was a healthy and active child, this was a few months before her 4th birthday. she loved to read and sing, but most of all she loved to skate. in early october, her mother says she gave her child flu medicine because she had a cough. the next day she was admitted to hospital vomiting and unable to urinate. the had a supplemental mom on saturday night, the doctor called me, they said my daughter is critical. all her organs are damaged, her brain hurt, liver and ice. and the younger and sunday morning she had heart failure and she died in my lap once i did it. she is just one if more than a 100 children in indonesia who died in recent months from acute kidney injury. after being given medicinal syrup. earlier this month, the world health organization issued a warning after cough. syrup in the gambia was also linked to the death of nearly 70 children. most of the acute kidney injury cases this year involve children under

the age of 5. it in ages, food and drug agency is investigating. and meanwhile, some medicines have been pulled off pharmacy shelves. in some cities, police conducted checks to ensure compliance with the rule of law. experts say the real number of fatalities is likely to be higher due to under reporting for the new condition. we never heard for a lot of children with intoxication before. if it were a central hospital, is it still confusing? yeah. so how in there earlier, the health ministry says it will strengthen controls in the future. usaa love, surely. how says there must be accountability obama that will be in the government needs to investigate this intensively and come up with solutions. i don't want any mother to feel what i'm feeling right now. i've lost my baby melissa. she has

started to donate some of her daughter's things, but her roller skates are still here at the front of the house. a reminder of the joy she brought to this home that was suddenly taken away. hey, jessica washington now to sierra to carter the united nations has suspended its anti torture mission to australia after its inspectors were refused entry at several jails and inspectors needed to visit detention facilities to monitor and prevent brutality against detainees. they also collect relevant information and documentation for their assessments of years. human rights groups have voice their concern about suspected abuses in australian prisons, youth detention centers and immigration facilities. the abuses they say we're targeting aboriginal communities in particular, the ones anti torch emissions have been suspended or postponed in 3 other countries as a by john, ukraine, and rwanda. so feel,

mcneil is an australia was such a at human rights watch. she says, the abuse of prisoners is common across several prisons in australia, but action is now being taken. unfortunately, it's a bit of a bureaucratic bungle that has led to this. this bipartisan support at a federal level are for ob, catch, which is a, you know, the name of this anti torture on a body that australia has signed out to. it's part of our commitment to eradicate torture and preventing inhumane treatment in places of detention. so the previous coalition government under prime minister malcolm tumble, signed destroyer up to this and the current government, anthony albany, these new government that has been in place since may. they also support this? but the problem is, is that states and territories control the prisons, and they're worried about funding that if these un inspectors come in and say you have to do this, this and this who's going to pay for it. so unfortunately, a kind of a dispute, bureaucratic dispute of money has now led to really embarrassing,

international humiliation where un inspectors are having to cancel a visit to australia. and we're company of rwanda as a by john and ukraine now. so it's, it's really deeply embarrassing. we were really looking forward to this visit because we have had deep concerns for many years now about liberal issues. we have seen issues about our prolonged solitary confinement of prisoners, particularly disabilities, were daily, deeply concerned about the treatment of young people and true children, particularly 1st nations children. there's a center in the north of australia called the don dale detention center that actually had a rural commission, which is a, a special investigative body set up to investigate abuses in that center. we have issues in western australia where i'm speaking to you from now. well, there's a detention center called bank, she hill detention center and accusations of inhumane treatment they're against children. so we do have deep concerns, but we're pleased that there is bipartisan federal support for this mission. and as
