a vice presidential position, my mother stepping into the role that my father died in will not be history repeating itself. she will more likely be remembered for what she does in this new position. an intimate portrayal of a family in challenging times. no simple way home. people also don't know what to pass on a jesse, you know, what happens the in new york has implications all around the world. it's the home of the united nations. it's a center of international finance, international culture to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people to normal people, not just power brokers, and that's where al jazeera is different. the mayor of the city announced that he was doing away with the curfew. that was, that was to get everybody off. it's international perspective with the human touch zooming way in and then pulling back out again. ah,

the former u. k. finance minister rushing to knock a budget as a favorite to become prime minister devoris johnson drops out of the rice. ah, hello money inside. this is al jazeera life from day, also coming up. because donnie investigative journalist, critical of his government, has been shot dead in kenya. ukraine denies that the russian defense ministers allegations it's planning to use a so called dirty bomb. and in his writing, court rejects an appeal to release the palestinian prisoner, whose timely ill with counsel ah

hello, welcome, boris johnson has dropped out of the race to become leader as the u. k. conservative party, a decision that likely paves away for richie soon act become the next prime minister. johnson returned to the u. k. on saturday, fueling speculation off a possible come back just months after he resigned as leader alan fisher has more. he. he is the front runner for the job is britain's next prime minister. but russia sooner is preceding cautiously a short written statement, promising integrity, professionalism and accountability. and then off to rally, support. i. the only other de cleared 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 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 proposer 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 east. they belong to the party. these they browsing 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 in what will be a coronation. rather than a contest now, our fisher al jazeera london yards at great. let's go sound his summons. his life for us in london and j st bar is pulling up changes things significantly. is this now a one horse race or just penny more than still have a chance? it doesn't appear that, sir, for the moderns can do it. she is well respected in the party, but they're looking for experience. they're looking for stability. boris johnson had claimed to be the answer. however,

conservative party was very concerned about the liability he could have made the party face because of his background. the fact that the whole controversy about part he gait with him in being investigated by an inquiry looking at whether he misled parliament, is accused on a number of areas and in scandals. it would not have been a sensible way. ford was the viewpoint of the conservative parliamentary party, although nationwide conservative members are still in. it seems to be a majority. feel that he would have been a better bet than anyone else there. now as far as soon as it goes, he's a former chancellor. he did resign and he did apparently work behind the scenes to get johnson out. he will be forgiven by many m. p. 's over that, but many him, pisa. joining him as i speak, we're hearing

a more more conservatives adjoining joining the the camp of the former chancellor. and it has to be said that he may be the front runner now, but he was actually the runner up 2 lives trust in the leadership election in the summer. yes, indeed, it has been a very fast moving as situation when he came comes the new k politics just briefly and you talk us through the timeline, we could actually hear by the end of today. can we have the next e k prime and says yes sir, the closure of nominations, which will be a straight forward affair, will be at 13 g m t. there is a lot of verification, a very quite old system to be followed to actually verify those nominations and, and full of follows. those people backing an individual. but then any time after that, 13 g declaration, a limit for,

for the close of nominations. that could be an announcement, and it could be a fast moving profile process. we understand that king charles, the 3rd is going to be on hand and available. should there be a, a announcement and an a move to actually process the whole deal at within a matter of hours. but it's not guarantee. no one's quite sure. this is the sort of area that the u. k. a is not used to this, this, this a 3 prime ministers with in the matter of those months. so the actual ballots, if there is one, should mordant suddenly have a rush of support, which is highly unlikely that ballots are result would have been at says 17 g. so that 1st balance, but no, this is a process that is turning out to be it would seem simpler in what's been a very complex process and one of its costs very dearly in terms of the popularity of the conservative party. and now of course, people are wanting some stability and it has to be said that soon acts form in

terms of calming markets is probably the best bet forward in that regard. however, whether he can tackle the issues of the splits within the party is a very, very big question. that's something that, that johnson claim was the reason for him not going ahead because he couldn't unify the party. although many conservatives feel he just didn't have the numbers and he's been economical with the truth about what level of support he had. okay, for now. thank you for that, andrew summons that rest in london. at least 60 people have been killed in an ass strike by the me and more military in the northern cotton states. the victims were aston event, celebrating the anniversary of the cotton ethnic groups political wing. let's go straight to tony chang, who's in bangkok. what more do we know tony? for these attacks sir took place in kenzie village in park in township in the north

a no fly zone, which they have also done in the past. that's highly unlikely to take place a at this stage. there's really no be to enforce that. but it illustrate to think how, how much, many of the forces fighting against the military and trying to turn back the military coup fear these strikes from the air. i was just on the border last week talking to people who said, that's the one thing that they can counter. they have large numbers of people who've taken up arms since the military coups who are trying to push back against the military. but the one thing they can't do is counter the for the, the strikes from the air. and these are not just in the kitchen in the north, but in other areas all along the border of forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee from their homes to seek safety in the jungles and other places. thank you for that. tony chang in bangkok. well named pakistani journalist asana series has been killed in kenya. police say he was shot in the capital. nairobi had
