6:04 pm
british politics marks a milestone moment, a reflection of the u. case diversity. it is his personal wealth and privilege and that of his wife that has come under scrutiny. effect many believe that would have on the decisions he would make running the country. there are so many challenges that he has to face. first of all, of course, he ran the economy that built up a lot of the debt that we're now talking about. and there was some episodes discussion about hughes and his wife's tax affairs and the position of a green card which suggested, you know, i've gotten to check to see in case things don't work out in british politics. which a lot of people didn't like most to knock super wealthy wife's tax status, played badly with voters. the parliamentary party regarded him as a safe option to guide the economy at a time of global uncertainty. synnex financial support packages to businesses hit by coven locked downs, marked him out as leadership material within the party barrier banker putting him
6:05 pm
on a collision course with then prime minister boris johnson. but they continued to work together through the various scandals that besieged johnson until his position became untenable and soon publicly parted ways with johnson. let's make him on mix leader. he threw his hat in the ring for leader, the party campaigning on a plate that he was the right person to manage the economy. my message to the party and the country is simple. i have a plan to steer our economy through these headwinds. we need to return to traditional conservative economic values, and that means honesty and responsibility. not fairytales. hill is deeply critical of his predecessors unfunded tax cuts that plunged the british economy into hey osmosis, and led to list crosses resignation. nike, i now sooner faces the challenge of his career uniting his party,
6:06 pm
stabilizing the government, and fixing the economy in a country that has seen more than his fair share of political and economic drama. in recent times, sunday guy egger al jazeera oliver. she's joining us know from dining street and were expecting to hear from her. she said i can certainly in the next hour or so or so we're going to be going to that live of course, when that happens. but at some time, at some point, he's going to be aiming to walk through the door of the building immediately behind you. it's a very famous street and has seen many changes, but never 3 prime ministers in one year. and that's exactly what's going to happen at some point in the next 24 hours or so. let's just has to resign 1st. of course, she's got to go to king charles and offer her resignation. he is at his country home in sandringham, so will be traveling back to london once he arrives, and they will make plans for that hand over to happen. once list truss has resigned, richie richey soon act will be invited to the palace and asked by the king to form
6:07 pm
a government. at that point, he becomes the prime minister. and that could be as late as to morrow. when we hear from you soon. ok, he's obviously going to lay out his vision of what he thinks will happen over at least the next 2 years a he will tell breton that things are going to be tough. it's going to be hard to over the next couple of years. it's not going to be easy, it's much better, to be honest with the people at this stage rather than paint of betty who was a picture. but obviously he's going to say that he believes that his policies, his team, and he himself, are in prime position to fix this to make britain a better place to make people more wealthy, to ease the cost, to live in crisis. and of course, the ease fuel bills which we'll start dropping on doormats, any time in the next few weeks. so he's got a big task in front of him. he's obviously convinced the conservative party that he can do it. now he's got to come up with the right form of words to convince the country. and that's really the key, isn't it? because the people of the,
6:08 pm
in the united kingdom are facing the high energy bills. they're facing the beeping facing political uncertainty for an extremely long time. the tories would want to say that this draws a line under all that uncertainty, but that is not gonna happen. this is gonna take time for tonight to pull his pipe at the party together. but also the team that is going to make all of this happen on traditionally, there's a bones for new prime ministers even if you don't like them, there tends to be a slight surge in the opinion polls because people want to give them a chance. they want to see them succeed because if they succeed, then they feel that the country will be a much better place. the problem is the conservatives, are we way down in the polls? i mean, if there was a general election, this coming thursday, labor would win with a massive majority. know when boris johnson won the election almost 3 years ago. people didn't think that that would be possible that labor would be out of government for at least 2 parliaments, but because of the unpopularity of the conservatives,
6:09 pm
and particularly because of the events of the last 4 months at the were. and here in a very bad place is now up to richey soon act, man who was rejected in the 1st instance by the conservative party membership to note, bring everyone together and try and create a cabinet that can get bitten out of this crisis. clearly he'll look at the mean 3 offices of state. there's every possibility that jeremy hunt will stay as chancellor. his appointment come the markets and that's what the really needed to do. there is the possibility to the grant chaps will stay as home secretary, the interior and minister, and then the other jobs come up for grabs. and that is where richey sooner will start to shape a conservative government in his own image. his own team, something that he believes will take the country forward. allen, thank you. alan fisher talking to us from outside dining street. we're going to bring in steph, a deck of who's at westminster. as alan was telling us there, this is, this is going to be a long process. and although the tories might feel that this is the end of the
6:10 pm
matter, it clearly isn't because one would imagine there is going to be significant political pushback on this. stephanie, if you could just bear with me, we're going to go to richie sudak, who is going to be speaking now to liz trust for her dedicated public service to the country. she has led with dignity and grace for a time of great change and under exceptionally difficult circumstances, both at home and abroad. i am humbled and honored to have the support of my parliamentary colleagues and to be elected as leader, the conservative and unionist party. it is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the party. i love and give back to the country i owe so much to the united kingdom is a great country. but there is no doubt we face
6:11 pm
a profound economic challenge. we now need stability and unity and i will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together. because that is the only way we will overcome the challenges we face and build a better, more prosperous future for our children and our grandchildren. i pledge that i will serve you with integrity and humility, and i will work day in day out to deliver for the british people. and that is the new leader of the u. k. conservative party ritchie. so that crew has just made a speech at a conservative party headquarters. he was saying the started off by paying tribute to live trust, the current prime minister from whom he is ultimately going to take over. he said
6:12 pm
he was going to give back to the country that he owed so much to but he did warn. we are facing a profound economic challenge. i want to go to stephanie decker, who's been waiting outside, westminster for a set. abington green. stephanie, just before we had was, she said that we were talking about the fact that despite the fact that the tories might want to draw a line under this. and consider this a matter that says done and dusted, richie cynic, and those he puts into, into positions of leadership and the country are gonna face significant political bush back pushback. this is not going to be an easy political right for them. as it . 7 0 no, and i think, you know, we just spoke to a member of parliament, conservative member as well. and he was very keen to give the indication that the party is extremely united. i think it's not a secret. this is a party that is very much divided, that they are now saying that unity is important is also about party survival if you will, because there are more and more calls for
6:13 pm
a general election as well. he just died in that statement that we already also quoted one of the greatest privilege of my life. so i think everyone is going to be key to try and keep the party together to keep their seems to be in power. i'm going to actually bring in one of our i guess who's the deputy leader of the liberal democrat party, daisy cooper. first of all, give me your reaction to the appointment every sudak as a, as, as prime minister. well, richard tina is the 3rd out of touch, conservative prime minister that we've had in just as many months around the rest of the families around the country either of syria, but the conservative half star economy. they have given all hoping care services into the ground and they just up mortgage rate, which means that many companies are about losing their home. we have hot months, thou of chaos and confusion. and the only way to get rid of is conservative tales is to get the conservatives out of power. that's what the level democrats want to general election isn't very difficult. they're right. they've made it. 7 rather
6:14 pm
roxanne, someone screaming in the background general election now as well through the ground, but it looks like this is not going to happen that looks like the way forward right now, is she soon as prime minister, perhaps the next couple of years? so how are you going to do with that? oh my how, how would you do with that as a party? the fact that you know, how are you going to try and make a change and they have an impact? well, i mean, even though it comes down to conservative and peas, the ultimately we'll have to decide it was going to be a german election of the policies, like the liberal democrats make the case of it should be one because we seen around the country here in the u. k, that there are millions of people, millions of people who are furious, that a 3rd prime minister is simply being appointed in just as many months and they do want to see change. the fact is that they've trashed our economy. they, we've had a twin demick this also a health care services are really at the bridge. and i think the british public, do you want to see a general election? they want to have a say in how we get out of this crisis. they want to stay in, he's going to lead our country as we try to move forward. and it's not the
6:15 pm
conservative party, the party that chaos appeals and shouldn't at temple disdain the families across the u. k. the public do you want to say? and that's why little democrats will continue to make the case that they should have the wrong give us a bit of an instant mentioned there, the economic crisis facing this country. i'm how difficult has it been for people in terms of paying their bills? how bad has it become. 7 become incredibly difficult, you know, i'm not on the loads of doors in my in constituent an open. but in many of the country there are people in their sixty's you having to go to the food bank for the very 1st time ever. so there are people who cannot afford to have the heating on a woman. i know one of my constituents who works for charity, but dishes out food for those who can't buy it and she herself was having to use those services. 7 that's the situation that we're now in even a people who have one job. maybe i still can't afford to put food on the table. they still can't afford to put the heating on and those who own houses. some of
6:16 pm
them now fail. they might actually lose their homes and even though she's due next, as he wants to bring on a teacher, his haughty annuity to because the fact is we've been here before, that's the so i see what boys johnson said, it's precisely what it is trustworthy. and now we hear it again, the british public, a tired of hearing the same old phrases, time and time again, we need real change. and the only way we can get real change is if we tangle up general election. thank you very much. visa cooper, deputy leader of the liberal, democrat party. as you heard there. yes, there's going to be challenges on unifying the party, but must much more. so is dealing with the economic crisis that is, that not only is unfolding it that has been happening here for months, is as zum daisy cooper was saying that we've heard it from many, many people how difficult it is for them to make ends meet these days. with storing energy bills, everything, the cost of living, the price of everything that has gone up. so this is something that wishes tonight is going to have to deal with immediately in order to get the people behind him to
6:17 pm
instill trust that who can't fix what is a very, very difficult situation. certainly we're going into a very difficult winter as well. so very, very difficult issues to tackle on the table. immediately. stephanie decker talking to us from westminster. stephanie, thank you very much. and let's go back to alan fisher, who is still outside a dining street. allan, i know you were listening to that statement that we heard earlier from wishes sooner. a very short statement and i don't know if you saw i had a chance to see the pictures, the ones we were watching. it seemed somewhat staged. there was no the didn't appear to be an audience. he seemed to be talking to essentially, to an empty room. what was your take on what he was saying? that he said the things that politicians are meant to say when that elected the leader of their party. and remember, that's all he is at the moment. he's still not prime minister has more consequential words will come in front of that very famous door after he's been to see king charles and has asked to form a government. he said the things that you would expect them to say that it's
6:18 pm
a privilege and an honor to lead the party. but when he talks about unity and stability, that's aimed more at the conservative party than it is at the country as a whole. certainly, he's aware that boris johnson was done because of the splinters and the conservative party list trust was not able to go beyond 44 days as leader of the conservative party. because she was being undermined from within an russia soon act as aware that if he can't get all factions of this conservative party together, his stay at number 10 could well challenge her for the shortest. i think that's unlikely he's likely to go. certainly beyond the end of the year, but he realizes he'll be in trouble if he can't bring his own party together before even starts walk on bringing the country together. he is another crucial thing when he talked about a profound economic crisis. that is him laying the groundwork for whatever he might say here. when he does take over because he is aware that it can't all be sunshine and roses, free rainbows,
6:19 pm
and kittens for every one. he knows that that can't happen. he's got to say, look, there is a real problem here and we have got to deal with it. he knows that it's going to be a struggle for a lot of families financially entered. agree he's got to address that straight away because people will start to blame him very quickly and their lives don't feel as if they're getting better with laura at the energy bills with more money in their pocket than the fact that going to to do their, their weekly shop doesn't make them think. can i buy this or do i have to leave that a site at all of these decisions will have to be made by working families in the next couple of months. and they will blame richey soon, act if things do not get better. so he realizes he's got a big problem in front of him. interesting as well that he talked about dealing with integrity because just to point out the been questions over whether or not he used an offshore trust to avoid some tax in the u. k. never fully answer that question. and also when they talk about he brought covered lot don't rules. what he actually did was break the law. and of course that is what caused a boyish johnson,
6:20 pm
a great deal of heartache in his final d as in office. alan, thank you very much. indeed, alan fisher outside downing street in london. richardson accept to become the 5th prime minister in 6 years. let him baba take a look back at what 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 contests, promising to make a success of breaks it. in march 2017 prime minister may set the clock ticking on 2
6:21 pm
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. in the you, 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.
6:22 pm
johnson told parliament there'd 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, his trust was the person, the conservative party membership chose to replace him within weeks, many budget announced by her finance minister cause he quoting, had spoke to the markets with its extensive unfunded tax cuts. trust sacked, quoting, but his replacement jeremy hunt 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 barbara al jazeera. okay, let's bang and john montana and he served as an advisor to former british prime
6:23 pm
minister tony blair. he's joining us now live from london. mister john, thank you very much. indeed for being with us. we heard every she, seneca speaking just a few moments ago. he said, i will make it my priority to bring our country and our party together. unity, clearly a key feature of all of this. is it going to be possible? do you think just empty restaurant, to be honest, the country calls on the government. the ratio was a member member of chancellor, be responsible for their policies become throw on to live trust, nor 45 days empower and his party just profoundly everything from defense spending through to the welfare budget. so i don't see, or we can united policy or the country, but i do know that i was a conservative for the 5th and 6 years evil with the party that
6:24 pm
he leads for the country, which he should be serving. there is a strong possibility. we're going to be facing a general election certainly in the next couple of years or so he's gonna have to fix the economy to some degree ahead of that time. if it is going to be, if he's going to be fighting to give his party together, do you think he's actually going to be able to produce anything that will he cannot meekly start to show some benefits for the british people. it's very hard to see what he could do because moving heading into a recession and in the recession, you need jobs. some of the obvious jobs are in construction. the tory government are in a big dispute with builders and developers of the moment, making it a difficult place to actually invest your money. so the countries got better place for investment at the same time. going to be counting, spending these words come spending capital spending, which is the money spent on the infrastructure on building construction. we know
6:25 pm
that construction development pipelines are what keeps people in work. so i suspect it's going to be very hard to do anything about the company recession. yes, of course. some of this is the responsibility for reading ukraine and some of them staying something maintenance. she called me at risk are made by the tory government. and so it is even a reverse, more of its predecessor, our policy is a business, it was trust policies, or is it going to reverse more of his policies or just policies or sure, of course, also richie soon. next policies. i think that's why there was no content to total speech from the concert about a central office. i don't think the private self yet knows what is chancellor to be . jeremy hunt is planning in the budget just that he's saying next week, appropriately on halloween. the labor party and the main opposition in the u. k. but also the other opposition parties is well including they got his national party
6:26 pm
been calling for a general election that has been of course avoided because what she's doing that has gone through this process. now, to what extent do you think the people, the voters in the u. k. actually feel that they have a role to play in who runs their country anymore. well, and this isn't just because in 6 years, it's the 3rd prime minute or 2 months. i think vs are paying attention and they are feeling excluded and they are feeling that the government to government and the tory part of the tory empties are just talking to themselves. and i do think the public would like to have to say, but the consensus doing a general election because over half of the voters was saying they're going to vote for the opposition party, which paper would lead to our right of the conservative party. so the intention to play along the next election could be as late as january 29th. i
6:27 pm
think that's on my claim. i think as much of a year, 18 months that can be spent by the government. and what will be the question is can she do that bench which i'm so used to register the thing about ill discipline, reggie side get ready or leader is it becomes a haven't to haven't you can't kick. so the back benches feel that the not being looked after, getting them not getting what they want. they may will turn on richie's tonight, just as they turn the lives trust, just as they turn the morals chosen, just as they may. and just as the internal, david cameron, so it's, it's in the, in the kind of dna, almost a tory and days to just throw away the lead when they don't like, well the leaders doing one leader. so we have yet to see what this is going to be stable enough to last for another 2 years. really interesting to get your thoughts
6:28 pm
on this john mckenna. thank you very much for joining us. and i'll just hear ah, on on pakistani journalist has been killed in kenya, putting say arshad, shirley full shot. while he was a passenger in a car, sharif has been an outspoken critic of the pakistani military and previously received death threats, prompting him to leave pakistan. laura barden, manly reports former pakistani prime minister emron con, with one of the 1st senior officials to visit the la about home of investigative journalist, arshad sharif, who was killed in kenya on sunday night. many appraising sharif is a man who dedicated his work to end in corruption and challenging the political elite. in an earlier tweet, m, ron con, wrote, he is deeply shocked,
6:29 pm
and that sharif paid the ultimate price for speaking the truth. he said the entire nation is in mourning sharif is leaving behind 5 children and his wife chaverra said dick, who announced his death on social media, saying he'd been shot in nairobi. she says she's lost a friend, husband and her favorite journalist is how i live and we'll put you on my p sharif . a previously worked as a present of the pock sally channel arrived. it was well known to be highly critical of the government and military or what he left pakistan after saying he had received death threat little while there are reports and application has been filed with the high court for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding why he left the country in august, a police report showed arise owner and all the staff members were arrested off to the network. ed comments by former prime minister among cons at fightin. a state run media regulator ordered to roy to temporarily go off ab. it prompted the us to
6:30 pm
express concern about press freedom impacts on other senior journalist. what bullshit and the day, what forced to mix certain confessions? i think this is a link would that be showed a sheaf left buck hassan under compelling condition. he knew that he was a next daughter. he was just like, brother to me and with a impeccable background of journalism. no one can quite anything good at him. truly professional, as trippy, it's poor in for sharif. many also worried about the future. independent journalism impacts thumb laura, but manly alger theorem. gotham saw his in nairobi was more on the shooting. police have released a statement about the death of a shards sharif. they said that what happened was a case of mistaken identity. they said that police officers while pursuing another vehicle after a man reported that his son had been abducted and his ca stolen night appears. that
6:31 pm
sharif and another person who, who was driving the vehicle, was allegedly caught up in the crossfire an area called cajole on the outs costs of nairobi. now 4 bullets was fired at his car. it's not clear how police mistook the money. none but leads all this to cars which was completely different. we are also being told that the person who had been abducted was later found. now a police oversight commission is investigating the circumstances under which these incident happened is good to be very, very interesting to see if we will get more detail on those police findings. because such cases are hardly made public. now we also know that we have seen several high profile cases of
6:32 pm
extra judicial killings. and kind of going to be very interesting to see how this plays out was catherine was saying kenya's police have been repeatedly accused of extra judicial killings that includes using hit squads to silence activists and others investigating their crimes. the most notorious of these squads is the special service unit. it was formed 20 years ago and has been linked to several crimes. but last week president william brutal shut it down g to allegations of abuse, abductions, and murders. let's bring in a room, go holton, his, the executive director of amnesty international in kenya. he's joining us now from nairobi. so thank you very much. indeed for being with us. give us an indication of how widespread this issue is. the missing voices alliance, a length of the looking life of my listen. regularly document i to the ship killings and enforce disappearances. and in 2021. they were over
6:33 pm
a 186 cases. all the extra visual killings and about $37.00 cases of enforced the parents. this is sadly, despite our constitution, despite the fact that we are democracy, this is a phenomenon that is known to to many families, particularly families from low income neighborhoods in nairobi. did to join some of the dots for me here because we're talking about a pakistani journalist who was in kenya, but he had been highly critical of the government and the military in his own country. is there anything to suggest as far as you are aware, that this would have been related to the s s u units that we were talking about, albeit that they've been disbanded? or could this actually be something that has originated out with kenya, but has kept been carried out within the country? i mean, the 2nd says the rubber, very unclear. i mean, that's, let's, let's maybe just start with, just offering the international components is to his brother and his when his widow
6:34 pm
and the children back in pakistan. i mean, the killing of a journalist is also a shock for many kenyans press. freedom is really not under the, not only under attack, but it's really, you know, an attack on the rights of the public to know the truth. and from all we know about the, the, the journal. you know, sorry, if he was courageous. he was an investigative journalist, he worked on corruption cases and really these cases in the public interest. but i think we can say a couple of things. i mean the festival that, you know, there was no cross fire. they, you know, there's no evidence and there's no obligation that they shot back police officers. i think the police statements that have been released today is still also wanting in terms of clarity and just give you a couple of questions. you know, the, it said that the police officers were let's it of a car fact and a child kidnapping. about 60 kilometers kilometers away from where they the to what killed the, the, to a shot that a further state that actually the, the,
6:35 pm
we're heading towards nairobi not away from nairobi, which is where the car was allegedly you know stolen. and that they failed to stop at it on my police road block. now they were no less than $8.00 to $9.00 bullets fired their vehicle and the mississippi was tragically killed with a single shot to the head. it's really not clear why such legal force would have been youth, especially if a child was supposed to have been in the vehicle. and you know, as i said, there are number of cases that have happened every year. and the special if you that the president can, you spoke about last week and demanded that you know, that disbandment and the risks of the police offices probably need to be investigated. not just for the 2 cases that he spoke about. this is the president, the 2 cases of the 2 indian nationals who work for his campaign, t. m. but i think there needs to be a wider audits all the activities, all,
6:36 pm
not just this unit but several units. because what we do know is that there has been a practice of allowing free rain for offices to use on local means am against suspects whether they be suspects of crime though, economic crimes or terrorism. so i think it's to any to say in this particular case, what happened? but i think we have to cold investigations to be thorough and for us to be a preferred. and perhaps it's also time for a complete overhaul of the national police service. let me ask you about that because that is key, isn't it? that and the, whatever the circumstances and i understand what you're, what you're mean, we are still in the very early stages of what happened of learning. what happened, but whatever the circumstances, how confident could people be that any investigation a would take place in the 1st place? but secondly, would actually do it stop most to try to find the truth, whatever the truth may be. and i think there are
6:37 pm
a couple of areas to be hopeful. i mean, i think the president has spoken very publicly on the statement of this unit and. busy that we have for these for police offices that have been arrested and will be brought to a court of law. that is soon. but i think it's really important that the auditing that takes place by the incoming interior minister. and i should mention that the governments of kenya, the very young government, less than 2 or 3 months really in terms of the election on august the 9th. so therefore it's still early days. but the fact that it is that you government give them the opportunity to really go back and review all of these the mysterious depth of the blood to canyons being found floating in canyon rivers or in national parks or in, you know, 5 bodies in, in maci so there is an opportunity, i think, for the governments of president router to step in and actually review what has been happening and put an end to it. aaron horton is executive director of amnesty

6:39 pm
and turkish defense ministers. moscow has not provided evans to back its claims. now, reform it has more from keith formula. sir dmitri kill ever, has made exactly that invitation to the head of the i am saying that inspectors should come in to try to disprove these claims coming from russia. obviously that in itself is not an easy thing to arrange in the midst of a war, a previous visit to this operation, nuclear power plant took some time to arrange. but what he says is that the i 8 urgently needs to send experts to peaceful facilities in ukraine, which russia deceitfully claims to be developing a dirty bomb. adding that we have nothing to hide. now this adds to a raft of denials and counter accusations indeed. and ukrainian saying that this is the kind of thing russia says ahead of an event that it's planning to do itself. and we've had similar reactions coming from various are western governments. the united kingdom, united states, and french foreign ministers, are released
6:40 pm
a statement late on sunday, saying that these were transparently false claims. and just last few minutes that's been added to by the german defense minister saying that any use of such a dirty bomb would cross all red lines. however, the russians are continuing to push this line just in the last few minutes or the russian defense ministry. again, saying that has data showing that a, a dirty bomb, or a low yield nuclear device is in the works by the ukrainians as a provocation, against russia, glass at banks, a live person can vary in central ukraine. all of us, of course, happening and against a backdrop of the ongoing fighting that is happening and talk is particularly about what's happening in household well, it's very difficult to get a real sense of what's taking place in cassandra. ukrainian authorities have been very strict about what information gets out there put in a media blackout, and it's very difficult and impossible in fact to get access to many of those areas
6:41 pm
. now what we have been seeing previously is that russian forces have been evacuating civilians from her son, and there was talk of a possible military withdrawal. now, the ukrainian military intelligence has come out and said, no, that's not the case that the russian forces are not retreating, they're not withdrawing. in fact, the ukrainian say they're bringing in the russians are bringing in new military units and preparing the street for a defense of the city. now visit her son in the south of the country is very strategically important to russia. but also politically important, since they annexed those areas and claim that these are parts of russia and the loss of that city a would be politically and strategically major for moscow. now elsewhere in the country, the ukrainian said that russia continues to target civilian infrastructure, saying that since the 10th of october, around $45.00 energy facilities have been damaged. and the energy provider here has
6:42 pm
introduced electricity restrictions across the country in many regions across the country. and says that about 40 percent of the energy infrastructure has been damaged. now obviously that's a major concern going into going into winter while the fighting continues across. so does the brother the propaganda war as well? the russians have been making some claims against the ukrainians. either just talk us through what they've been saying well last week there were claims about each side blaming each other for possibly wanting to block the damned, which of which would have caused major flooding. but now we're talking about these claims of a dirty bomb. the russians have really been pushing this line st. ukrainians, up preparing guy dirty bomber, or a really low yield nuclear weapon. now the defense ministry has come out and double down on that and said that is preparing. it's a, it's a military, it's a p for the operating in ukraine. they said that there alerting them to operate in
6:43 pm
rate radioactive contamination conditions. now, russia's foreign ministers also saga, la grove, has said that the ukraine has the institutions to prepare a dirty, dirty bomb. and the russians are claiming that ukraine will accrues russia of using weapons of mass destruction and logic. logic company to undermine mosque are now ukrainian president of roger meza lensky has said that they know the entity that would use a nuclear weapon that pointing their fingers at her russia. but also the chief of nature said that these claims absurd, dennis patton, that they've seen russia go through throughout this war. so, but obviously this talk of nuclear weapons were dirty bomb, excuse me, concerning fall ukrainians as well as western powers. i. so thank you very much. indeed, as i beg, talking to us from central ukraine and is 60 people have been killed in an air strike by the me and mar, military in the northern hutchins state. the victims were at an event celebrating the anniversary of caching ethnic groups political wing. so he changed following

6:45 pm
condemned these attacks and called for a no fly zone. one minister i spoke to it a while ago telling me that this is just another example of me. i'm of military attacking civilians. and it does appear to be a pattern which we've seen emerge in, in recent months. i was just on the border last weekend talking to people from inside. he said the one thing that really they fear the most is attacks from the coast memory military has complete air superiority. although they faced many challenges on the ground. the united nation suspended its anti torture mission to a stranger after inspectors were refused entry at several jails inspectors needed to visit detention facilities to monitor and prevent brutality against detainees. they also collect relevant information and documentation from the assessments for years human rights groups of voice,

6:47 pm
organizations were well and truly on notice that this will be coming. and i have not been to this really quite remarkable estrella as, as a country has ratified upkept in australia, the prisons around by the 6 states and the 2 were trays. now all of those were as a site on notice that this would be happening and it's actually only 2 of the states, new south wales and queensland and in queensland. so only relation, in fact, the mental health facility is not the prisons are only 2 states, have a said that they said that they wouldn't provide access. the other states and territories did in for effects provide access to their facilities. and in fact, the trailing attorney, a commonwealth attorney general, has now issued an extra taishan to those 2 states, new south wales and queensland to allow that access so that the inspectors can return and complete their inspections. as was, of course, envisaged,

6:51 pm
his ret, this events in cats are the benefits of blind and visually impaired supporters. audio, descriptive commentaries is totally different from that. the mainstream commentary that we listen to on televisions are registrations when it aims at describing action. like how players are reacting and how plains are cheering up with the teams and how the bowls warping. they are like following the ball all time. they're describing every single action as if they are looking at their game. they are our eyes a lot of the time. that's where long hallway in the build up to this world cup catalyst has been kelly for university organized training programs for would be commentators volunteers with the chance to play a key role at the finals. still very challenging for people with disability to go from their home to their seat. it's
6:52 pm
a lot of challenges for them. and when they are in their seats, you have you, you know, for sure that these people are obsessed with football. the are the love the game. so i promised myself that i'm going to be delivering the best or do descriptive commentary for them. life is giving me the opportunity to do or share what i feel inside my heart towards this game for all my voice and explain and build a maximum for somebody who will share this feelings accessible via an app on your phone. this type of commentary has become increasingly common in europe, but arabic hadn't heard it a major tournament and celestial arab cup audio descriptive commentary made it well . w in south africa in 2010, but this is the 1st time it will be available at the finals. in the arabic language, the specialized commentary will be an offer in arabic and english at every game. during this world, when we speak of the potter was the top,
6:53 pm
we all speak of legacy was this tournament will lead to the region. and i hope that the descriptive coming through will be a part of this legacy. it's about making football in the middle east, a more inclusive experience. just one long term target of this world cup and the richardson al jazeera. doha ok. let's go to south, harvard. i've so cookie for in the how the most popular marketplace in south year, alongside one of the commentators for the world cup i am and this is definitely one of the areas that you'll find a lot of hustle and bustle. and with me here is my how much, how much is one of the audio, descriptive, common tases, one of those that have been mentioned in our report now, can you tell me more about the price of how you got selected? because you, one of the people, the commentators for the are as well. well, at the beginning that was a joint project between the organizing committee of people will come up
6:54 pm
2022 along with the translation and interpreting institute of the university h, b, k, u, as well as the sensor for access to football in europe. now the hell workshops for a candidate from all over the middle east or other countries. hundreds of applications where they're all the 80. we've went through a condensed workshop over 1515 to 20 hours, and that was followed by 3 tests by our trainers, of course at that time. and accordingly 18 were selected to commentate on the upcoming people with our 2020 c. second is quite vigorous process to be able to see one of the finals to be chosen to be one of the common tases, especially in the arabic language, is quite a complex language. but what is it that makes this type of comments re different to the traditional commentary?
6:55 pm
well, see there is, yeah. as you said, there's a quite a big difference between the regular commentary and the audience. the comments are like, for example, i think other commentary would easily go with the or them of the game without mentioning exact details about the location of the ball or where the ball is or who is handling the ball. it would focus more on giving information about both themes, about the other players, etc. for audio descriptive, common 3, it is difficult. it is very detailed. we have to be more precise about where the ball is. is it the 66 yards away from the center circle? and you're dependent in the detail and to be able to get so much detail over 90 minutes. that requires a lot of energy. exactly. imagine that the audience, whoever is listening to is under percent relying on you on delivering the picture. i like that are going to common 3 eleger commentator would come and do it on a game. the viewer have the option either to music tv or even to watch it with the
6:56 pm
comments either. but here they have no option, they are listening to you or the on delivering the information to them. so that was the difficult part of that. and for you, you said that you have a personal reasons be involved in their your son is also sick. so it's really important to be part of the community. indeed indeed actually see the majority of us and to see us to come up to bull. we all love football. we all love commentating on football. but when i knew about the specific reason for this purpose for this were the how to stop to you that because we're sort of running out of time, but we will be covering this not to see. this is something that we are woke up says that it wants to be part of is increased activity. and cats are certainly wants it to just have a legacy is, will be on the well come across the country to make sure that everyone with special needs is feel it feels that they're included. so thank you very much indeed. said our comment. i suit walking in doha now short time ago. our correspondent joke area of south gosh, spoke to the chairman of carter,
6:57 pm
social and cultural center for the blind. i'm joined now by fi, so alcohol g here is going to be talking to us a bit more about this audio, descriptive commentary. arabic fi. so how will it change the experience of blind and partially sighted fan to this? well, i think that the audio descriptive community confirming the principle of inclusivity or persons with disability being part of the world cup. so at that stage, persons with visual impairment would be able to join or to attend, that matches. and here to the audio commentary at the same time and feel the environment and the atmosphere at all does. how does audio descriptive commentary differ from the commentary that we already here on tv and radio? so the audio descriptive commentary is more detail than not being provided that you're in the tvs as explained fathers out of essence, such as the reactions of the players and also the fans. and it provides for the details about if there is, for example, any kind of confused what i mean,
6:58 pm
issues regarding any things happen and much itself. how has that our society changed his attitude towards blind and partially sighted people? i think no, the last 20 says it is a big change that has been happen from from single for northern institute educational entity in the city of papa. then issue. and can you just listen 2004 to let him related to the rights of persons with disability and 2000. and it's got that also a to for the c rpd, conventional price of persons with disability and in 2010 got that has been awarded the host of the world cup. all of these factors together improve their life for persons with disability and cover. please allow car, do you? thank you very much for joining us. so as you had their audio descriptive commentary make a big difference for our big speaking visually impaired and blind fund. this world cup tournament. and inclusivity is really what it's all about that. so for this
