ah, hello and welcome to the program in just a few hours time. the u. k. will even know what's next prime minister, all face, another leadership race. the deadline to secure enough support is now just 2 hours away. all my finance minister richie soon, i ease the clear favorites and appears to have the most m p. 's publicly backing him is not yet clear. if his only challenger, senior cabinet member penny mordant, has secured the 100 m p. 's needed to stay in the race. she'll be trying to draw support from boris johnson's camp. the former prime minister, who was ousted by scandals in july dropped out of the race on sunday as go straight to a correspond andrew summons. who is live for us in london, where she like now clearly the choice of conservative m. p, 's the any on the asked the question is whether penny moved it will make that 100 by the to pm deadline as right. as you say,
2:03 pm
only 2 hours to go less than 2 hours to go in fact. and what we're hearing from the penny more than campus suggestions that sir, the numbers could be up to 90 by now, but it has to be said, there is no public verification of that figure. so it could well be not the case. in fact, there seems to be some division within her camp right now about whether she should actually call it in and quit ahead of the a deadline, which would mean an automatic movement which would make a re she soon act prime minister more or less right away and we could see the whole process riding out on monday or closing the day or with his position confirmed, possibly even going to king charles the 3rd to actually be invited by him of course,
2:04 pm
to, to actually accept the prime minister's role. that is a quite a, a fast moving process. it's more likely perhaps to be a tuesday, should it happen? but he is the clear favorite. and we have publicly declared nominees for him in excess of a 150 for his johnson. i'm surprising, every one on sunday night by pulling out, but then a lot of conservative m. p 's suggested that he did not have the numbers he claimed . and in fact, coming in as the knight in shining armor, hoping to unite the party as he said, it wasn't the case at all. in fact, the party is still divided and that's going to be a major task for whoever wins this. indeed, i added width and act now the fan favorite to win. what indeed can he bring to the table if he does become the prime minister? while he was finance minister to boris johnson in the
2:05 pm
29th 19 a massive majority was acquired in that election. he has had a sound footing as chancellor of the exchequer, as it's known in the u. k. a. he did. in fact om resign, which effectively cause the downfall of boys johnson. when was a big push on him, but he's sound with his economics, his government background, and in finance, he's are a smart operator, as is termed by many people. he is with the times he's very wealthy has to be said, but that hasn't necessarily dented his popularity in many areas. he's the favor to the parliamentary party. and he was in the summer when the leadership election or went in the direction of less trust in the answer to what's happened let's trust was one by the national a conservative membership vote, but she lost by the parliamentary vote. so in effect,
2:06 pm
it was the conservative party of vote which made a sumac, a 2nd runner. so basically he was the runner up to las, trus. and of course we know what's happened with liz truss, and we know that her finance minister, jeremy hunt a has managed to calm the markets will happen if we see what we expect. army soon act to be prime minister as smooth transition there with his view of the economy being very much what jeremy hunt did with all his turnarounds, of less trust his policies are to satisfy the markets. so we might even be the case that if soon it does become prime minister, he may choose jeremy hunt as his finance minister is a definite possibility. but what really more than the markets and the awful economic situation that people are experiencing in the u. k. with double digit inflation, the way is inflation and interest rates on the or going so some of the highest
2:07 pm
figures in years what, what is dominates get more dominating his situation. perhaps as much as the markets is the dis, unity in the party and the need to bring things together, which is why there's some pressure on, on penny more low pressure on her perhaps to call it in. if she hasn't got the number's called it in. now, and that would actually add, perhaps a to the chances of more unity on the chances of getting a senior post or perhaps with through like a government. thank you for that and a summons there for us in london. a well known pakistani journalist, our san serif, has been killed in kenya and he say he was sauce in the capital, nairobi sharif had recently received death threats prompted him to leave pakistan. it was an outspoken critic of the government and the political establishment or cerise wife to very acidic, posted a tweet about his death. she said i lost

shadow government had last week, voiced concerns that military defectors were among the 150 people who were recently deported from malaysia to myanmar. now all these groups say that returning myanmar, nationals, back to myanmar where they face risk of imprisonment, torture or punishment is a breach of international principle. now these deportations are also at odds with malaysia stance in very publicly and vocally condemning the military coup as well as the violin tactics the gender has been using against those who opposed the comb sled on the al jazeera. why not? why a cough syrup is being linked to the death, the more than $100.00 children in indonesia and breaking accessibility barriers of the world cups. ash lies arabic commentary, visually impaired fans makes stab you encounter
