and often controversial events cover, but once a ball is kicks the passion and the excitement of football type. so this was a video movement. the likes of which we've never seen. this is important. this is your story from breaking down the headlines to exposing the power is attempting to st. silence reporting. we're seeing media freedom being threatened, and attacked is basically criminalizing journalism. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered. people have no idea what the source of uses bags the game, the rolled, and that world war to for bo, everything. why on al jazeera and talk to al jazeera, we also do believe that women of august, that was somehow abandoned by the international community. we listen, we have a huge price for the raw. i've got a terrorist that's going on and so money we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stories that matter on out you, sir. ah,

the former u. k. finance minister richie to knock emerges as a favor to become prime minister of to boris johnston. drops out if the rice ah, and i why money side this is out there live from day or so. coming up. pakistani investigative journalist, critical of his government, has been shot dead in kenya. ukraine denies the russian defense ministers allegations it's planning to use a so called dirty phone. i'm breaking accessibility barriers, football fan, specialized arabic commentary. the visually impaired makes its world cup debut and capture ah,

ah, hello and welcome bars. johnston has dropped out of the race to become lead of the u. k. conservative party. a decision that like a paved the way for richie soon act and become the next prime minister. johnson returned to the united kingdom on saturday, feeling speculation of the possible come back just months after he resigned as leader alan fisher has the story. he is the front runner for the job is britain's makes prime minister. but russia sooner is proceeding cautiously. a short written statement, promising integrity, professionalism, and accountability. and then off to rally, support. i the only other declared candidate is cabinet minister penny more than she has backing, but as yet not enough to hit the magic mark of 100 and 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 on 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 johnston was going to do. he flew in from holiday at the weekend to rally, support for a political come back at his resignation almost 4 months ago, led to las trust being elected as conservative party leader and prime minister i missed the speaker. i can, i can tell, but in a statement late on sunday, much as he admitted that 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, intermodal. 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'd never know this sort of rank dish and it is very do stay garage. you stabilize for the party. these, they blows it for the country to for no, only one contender sooner 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 alteration as gay to address summons his life for us in london. andrea so far as pulling out changes things significantly. is this now a one horse race? it circuit suddenly looking that way and we can see from this morning sir, media press here a bo joe. it's a no. and this other one,

you know, the, the tabloids going strong on, or as johnson, he has been a major factor in all of the speculation about what's going to happen with this. this is a very relax looking or is she soon act heading for this building by the looks of it. and it could be sooner rather than later. because as alan fisher was pointing out, this term coronation is nothing to do with the world family. it's to do with the fact that if there isn't a 2 candidate situation, then there's only one candidate that's going to be automatic. more or less, you could see richie soon at the coming prime minister on monday. that's a technical possibility. it could be announced. but penny mordant has done quite well, but by no means enough to reach the 100 threshold of votes that she really needs. or is johnson coming back from his sunshine and sand holiday, or like a knight in shining armor, was really something of a distraction or something of a sideshow at the end of the day. because many conservatives say that he never

really had a chance of winning over the parliamentary party. and he says he, he got a $102.00 votes, which is above the limits the actual scheduled or limit. but a lot of conservative m p 's. and indeed, observers believe that's not the case, that this is, again, a johnson being economical with the truth and was also an inquiry hanging over him for misleading parliament over the whole scandal of party gave when the were parties in downing street here against the coven guidelines. are joined the pandemic. so right now we have mordant, desperately trying to get more votes in. she could get lean more votes from those who of turned away from obviously from boys johnson. and she may summing improvement of 20 to 30 votes estimated before but, but it's unlikely. and so we will see what is called the coronation, which is soonest, who was beaten by linz trot. so me,

her 6 weeks ago in that last leadership battle. but the last 2 night was always favored by the parliamentary party and not the national membership as a whole. thank you for that, andrew simmons there for us in london. at least 60 people have been killed in an ass strike. i, the myanmar military and the northern cotton states. the victims were an event celebrating the anniversary of the couch and ethnic groups, political wing, and skate, attorney chang, his lie for us in bangkok. what more to be no tiny we understand that this attack took place last night as these celebrations were ongoing. in the village of can see and park and township. it's an area of strategic importance because it's home to one of the largest jade mines in mere mara. jade mind that's important. both for birth. vermeer,

most military government and for the independent, the kitchen independence organisation. we understand there were 3 jets for a mere missouri force that attacked the site of the celebration of the rockets. there was a performance on stage at the time. a number of famous kitchen singers are reported to be amongst the dead that figure of a 60 fe talents as has been independently confirmed to al jazeera by a former m p, who's in the area. and apparently the number of injured has now risen to well over 50. it's very hard getting precise information because this is an area where there has been intense conflict with mia mars military government. the internet has been shut down from for more than a year, but it certainly fits a pattern that we're seeing with mia mas, military increasingly using air power and artillery. i was just up on the border last week who are with me armor. and i heard from people inside that after dark people are very reluctant to turn on lights to make any sound a tour,

because there are often sponsor planes up there, reporting anything strange bank to military bases. and if they get it, if they see or spot anything and air strikes are celery strokes quickly follow? so this certainly does seem to see fit a pattern that we're seeing in other places as well. i can thank you for that update. tony chang there for cent bangkok. now a well known pakistani generalist our son serif has been killed in kenya and he say he was shot in the capital nairobi. he had recently received death threats, prompting him to leave pakistan as an outspoken critic of the government. and the political establishment, let's get more on this with canal hider, who is outside sheriff's home in islamabad. tell us a bit more about this journalist and the circumstances around his death. ca yes, our shared sherry gordon iconic. enriched again. dave journalist,

we don't know at this particular point of time, who killed him. but in focus on the general perception use that it is a military and military and intelligence oppression against him. we don't know what is going on, but certainly since the jim change a petition about the song was a big what a mission between americans about this, any pos, limited establishment and be then opposition parties. and obviously anybody who was a sporting a farmer's prime seminar, how's agenda political agenda impact his son? she's our daughter, good of military stablish mint and what we have she now this is so unfortunate and that these are very much linked with that. and very, very important point vetting point to play. you may hear that a sheaf is involved in nautical text business or something nasty. oh, good. thank you very much. i be fick and i just called it understood show

degraw d perception and a white spread perception. and i did send a garage by august on that it is definitely something behind the killing of this iconic journalist, kamala, talking of pakistani politics. we hear that the former pakistan prime minister emron cons appeal to lift the decision to buy him from public office has now failed . what more can you tell us about that? will reconsider j. fail to what the court date was the enron cons legal game wandered and immediate suspension of the controversial decision by the election commission of august on what the court federal debt they wanted direct and judgment copy, which of course has not been released by the election commission of august on that a question mark county daniel shall be god, one of their signature, jordan, my thing on that. a judgement despite the fact that they said they're good,

a series of tumultuous events that brought down successive governments. in 2015 prime minister david cameron was re elected after promising britain a referendum on the european union membership. his conservative party governing in coalition with the liberal democrats was splitting over europe under pressure from the united kingdom independence party. you kept ahead of the referendum in june 2016 cameron back to remain, but the vote leave campaign headed by new convert boris johnson. one cameron resigned a few hours later. negotiation with the european union will need to again under a new prime minister. the riffles are still being felt to resume one the conservative leadership contest promising to make a success of bricks. it in march, 2017 prime minister may set the clock ticking on 2 years of negotiations with brussels. that summer she called a snap election to boost her mandate, but instead she ended up with a hung parliament, the u. k. and the you did eventually reach a withdrawal agreement,

but parliament rejected it 3 times and knows have a, the knows have a following a series of cabinet resignations, including that of boris johnson, whom she'd made foreign secretary theresa may also quit in july 2019. re enter bar is johnson. this time in the top job leading the conservatives into an early election in december 2019 under the slogan, get brakes done. he won a large majority in parliament and the u. k. left the european union in january 2020. but a new threat was emerging. the corona virus, the johnson government, hesitated before imposing a tough lockdown. later accounts from inside downing street, suggested johnson, and government officials had broken their own covered 19 rules on gatherings. johnson told parliament that be no partying. i'm sure that whatever happened or the guidance was followed in the rules of holiday times, but in april he got a police fine, the 1st sitting prime minister to be punished for lawbreaking this summer after

allegations johnson had appointed a top official. despite knowing, he was accused of sexual misconduct, dozens of his own, m. p. 's resigned. soon, johnson was out. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up. the best job in the world less trust was the person, the conservative party membership chose to replace him. within weeks, many budget announced by her finance minister quasi quoting, had spoke to the markets with its extensive unfunded tax cuts. trust sacked, quoting, but his replacement jeremy hunter reversed most of the many budget, leaving the prime minister looking week. last week she stood down after only 44 days in office, the shortest serving leader in modern british history, that he bother al jazeera ukraine says russian allegations it may use an explosive lace with radioactive material are absurd and dangerous. ashes, defense men's report li,

voice concerns sharing fun calls with british, french and turkish defense ministers. oscar has provided no evidence to back the accusations she'll get also spoke to with you as counterpart lloyd, often in their 2nd thank whole 3 days. i for that is more from keith. we're here ukraine. this round of calls being given by the defense minister should go of russia to his opposite numbers in france, inter kia in the united kingdom. and now in the united states, as well as be labeled, a carousel of calls by the ukraine president vladimir lensky. 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 around. 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 grew 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 evil. it was 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. but 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 as since 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 full 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. ukrainians are saying that communications networks are also being cut there in advance of a potential ukrainian recapture of that very important strategic city. so a lot of eyes are on the area. the russians are saying that the ukrainians, a concocting this device that it alleges they are putting together not too far away from her son, least a 133 children have died from acute kidney injury in indonesia. the death, the linked to tainted medicinal syrups, including cuff medication. jessica washington reports from jakarta. as karen 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,
