8:02 pm
ah, richard soon like has made history by winning the conservative party leadership in the u. k. he said to become the 4th prime minister of indian origin, replacing mistrust as leader. this was since 2nd attempt at the top job in 6 weeks . he initially lost it for us in september, the 42 year old service finance minister unload morris johnson. i'd like to pay tribute to live 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 that the conservative and unionist party it is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the
8:03 pm
party. i love and give back to the country. i owe so much to o allen fishes joining us now from dinings to alan. it wasn't that long ago that sir, she said must have felt that his chances of becoming prime minister had gone. now a few weeks later, it looks as though if things go according to his plan, is gonna be walking through the door of the house behind you. well they used to say there's no 2nd acts and politics, but what you soon ac is blowing that out of the water with his victory. certainly he was building momentum more than a 150 m p. 's conservative m p 's backed him for the leadership. he won the overwhelming support of conservative m. p. 's, when he stood against let's trust for the leadership just over 6 weeks ago. but it wasn't the it, the, his failure was that he couldn't convince the rest of the conservative party that he would make. he would be prime minister and be a good prime minister. he of course, at the time said the idea of tax cuts was nonsense. he warned that the country was
8:04 pm
about to go into some serious financial difficulties. and it turns out that he was right. this time with penny mordant, and boris johnson decided that they weren't going to run against him. and he has no been appointed the leader of the conservative party. not yet prime minister. he's got some of that some waiting to do before that is up to las trust to make an appointment with buckingham palace to travel, to see king charles, and formerly tender her resignation where she soon i will then be summoned to the palace to meet the king. and he will be asked to form a government at that point. he will then come to downing street and make probably his most important comments. certainly what he said in the last couple of hours was what you would expect when someone is elected the leader of the party. but there was a warning there that the country is facing dire economic straits. and that is going to be his 1st task to get a grip of that and get a grip of it quickly. he will undoubtedly enjoy a small bones in popularity. that always happens. people want to see the prime
8:05 pm
minister do well believing that if he's doing well than the country is doing well. but with huge energy bills about to drop on the door, much across the country with people facing a cost of living crisis every single day, seeing their weekly grocery bill go up at that. honeymoon could be very short lived . he's got to get a grip of this financial crisis and got to do it quickly while putting his own team in place over the next 4072 hours or so. i'll and thank you very much on the official talking to us from outside dinings to, to want to bring in stephanie decker whose at westminster, outside the building. as alan was saying there that the tories one would imagine want to regard this as a line being drawn under this whole process. but the impression is that richey soon has still got an all to persuade an awful lot of very skeptical people that he is the man for the job. yes, i think so. his challenge is twofold, of course,
8:06 pm
talked to him incredibly severe economic crisis. and also, you know, a party, but it's been at its own neck if you will for years now. actually. yeah. i have a guest with me, joanne adler. she is an author and former conservative party aide and someone with extensive experience of the conservative party actually you are anchor presented. just asking me about mr. max. huge in terms of not just the tackling the issues in the country, but tackling with the divisions within the conservative party. how would you describe that? well, i'd describe it as a challenge box. i think he's the best person under the circumstances to rise to that challenge. and interestingly, he's somebody who's a korea has of, he's risen very quickly through the conservative party, is the results of being in many ways. and an exceptionally clever guy who understands detail ah, and for a while he was very much seen as the golden boy of the conservative party was a very popular chancellor during the period of the lockdown for the cove. it
8:07 pm
problems. and that is, i think, largely because he was spending a great deal of money. so his appeal extended beyond the conservative party, he put in place a lot of remedial measures which were expensive but which kept the economy flight during that period. subsequently to then, he's had the issues exposed about his own private financial arrangements. he's in self, a self wealthy guy, but he's also married to a very, exceptionally wealthy air s. and people have raised questions about that. putting all of that aside, i think there's a sense that he really is the man for the moment. he understands finance, he can reassure the markets, which has been a particularly fibral problem of the last few weeks. but more than that, he isn't, as was now seen, i think as an authoritative figure, but also very com presence. somebody who will hooks ah measures in place to reinstall restore some sense of a dignity, decorum, and discipline within the conservative party that has been so obviously lacking in
8:08 pm
recent weeks. but i think also for a long. ringback period during this could be a change for the part of me on the public instead of polling at an all time low. do you think he is the man to bring this up or do you think that the damage has been done? while i was very interesting question, because i, when i did work for the conservative party, was an extremely long time ago during the john major period and a lot of people have liked. and what has happened over the last few weeks to the set of circumstances that led to britain falling out of the european exchange rate mechanism back in the early ninety's. now although that happens very much at the beginning of john major period in government after $992.00, it really did bedevil the conservatives reputation. and it was virtually impossible for the party to ever pull back from that. and now we don't have as long as he had to try and turn things round, conservatives only have 2 years at the most,
8:09 pm
really before the next election. so this is a, i mean, there's no mistaking. this is an extremely difficult uphill task. richie soon acts out and i don't in any way, try to minimize how hard that is. but i do think thank goodness the conservative party has, has made a sensible decision. today. it seems to be one in which they have allowed their head the rule rather than that hawks. they have been very emotional, very sentimental in recent, so, weeks and months. partly i think because far as jumps from himself was a political figure driven by career learn personality rather than by them. the content essentially of his agenda. oh, thank you so much interesting. there massive challenges i had a foolish as soon as there is a perception that he is really the only man for the job within the uh, the, the selection, the options that there were at this time. at the moment, we're still waiting to hear from downing street as to how exactly the timing will
8:10 pm
go on, of course, less trust 1st having to meet with king charles and then when she's to knock will be summoned and then talk with forming a government. i was still don't know when that timing is the what we do know is that what she's doing that will be i then you prime minister of this country stuff . the decor, westminster. stephanie, thank you. will angela raina, the deputy leader of you, his opposition? labor party says ritchie cynic won't solve the conservative parties problems. i think it's a continuation of the problems that the conservatives of face. look, we've hot, we're going to have 3 prime ministers in 3 months. we've had to re, she seen that was the chancellor, where we've seen low growth. we've not seen that growth in ami called me, is failed to deal with the inflation that we seen. and families are really worried about the cost to live in that they face. and i've heard nothing from wishes to knock in the well, we call whatever. it's been that we part the contest about how he's going to actually talk will the challenges that people are facing today. so it seems the key question is, what kind of leader will soon knock b,
8:11 pm
shania diego reports every come the return of richey soon at this time as lead of his party, he missed out till his trust in the last leadership contest, only to find himself less than 2 months later, back in downing street, this time at number 10. generic is the 1st u. k. prime minister of south asian heritage. indeed, the 1st from any ethnic minority in modern times, a hindu whose family came to britain from east africa. and while his rise in british politics marks a milestone moment, a reflection of the you 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
8:12 pm
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 on a collision course with then prime minister boris johnson. but they continued to work together through the various scandals that besieged johnson till his position became untenable and soon as 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
8:13 pm
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, who was deeply critical of his predecessors unfunded tax cuts that plunged the british economy into chaos, his motive, and led to less trusses resignation. thank he. i now, sooner faces the challenge of his career uniting his party, 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, santiago al jazeera, instead of head on august 11th, and israel will finally sign a u. s. broken maritime border agreement, ending a decades long dispute. ah,
8:14 pm
ah, here's your weather forecasts for tuesday, october the 25th across the middle east and africa. good to have you along, so the showers that were in the levant dipping to the south in the northwest of saudi arabia. i don't think any of this is going to hit our load will stay north of the area there on tuesday. the intended winds are shifting around down the goals, so this would suggest less humidity for places like doha, with a height of $36.00 degrees on tuesday. seabreeze has returned to karachi, so that helped freshen up the air quality here. you know, karachi had some of the poorest air quality of anywhere in the world as of late. so that's now change. temperature is climbing once again in harass at 30 degrees. it's time a year. we would expect things to go in the reverse and start falling. but it's the complete opposite here through turkey, as it's quite clear plenty of sun that rain that was placed in the northeast. black sea coast is dissipated,
8:15 pm
but some pretty good bursts of rain not too far away from cairo. on tuesday, there has been a landside in get bonds, capital libra vill that killed at least 7 people. and we know this is where most of the rain has been concentrated, dipping to the south. now i think we could see some severe thunderstorms for south africa, eastern cape providence, around southern moves and beek as while, but conditions will improve in my put so with the high of 32. ah, with frank assessments, if the united states that you're running a good program was there to build a nuclear weapon they would assign to view by informed opinions. i believe that armina agenda should have bilateral negotiations. we've been holding that for many time. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king charles we'll take home in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al
8:16 pm
jazeera lou. ah, we want to go to 0 reminder, my top stories, this our wishes to know cuz officially been named as the next prime minister of the united kingdom. he'll become the 1st person of indian origin to hold the title out at $42.00 youngest in modern history. international reaction to sit like being named the you case. next, prime minister are least in the voting for it is beginning to roll in. indian prime minister 9th ramadi, offered his congratulations saying i look forward to working closely together on global issues and implementing roadmap. 2030 special duality wishes to be living bridge of you k indians. as we transform our historic ties into
8:17 pm
a modern partnership, i'm going to bring in michael walker and london is a contributing editor at the independent outlet, nevada media. very good to have you with us or on ology 01 of the main themes that has been a part of file what ritchie center cuz we sang over the last few hours is unity. is he going to be able to achieve that? do you think we unity, we're going to conserve at the party? i mean, i can be probably is the best candidate they could have chosen because he's clearly more competent than the competitive he's more competent than the 2 people who have preceded him. unity in the contract will be a very different story. there is a big climate for a general election at this point in time. he is now all 2nd prime minister. we have been has been installed without any say from the public. and i think why that's incredibly significant now is we don't have a government who was saying their gender is to basically keep things the same the next 2 years, just say sort of tech government doesn't do much until the next election. we're actually hearing it. this is going to be a government which tries to make 40000000000 pounds in, quote unquote, savings,
8:18 pm
which to most people means cost of public services and in the u. k. right now we already have public services. we're never at complete breaking point. you've got hospitals who are declaring critical incidents in alton, we're not really into the quincy. so there is a real danger here that we have a technocratic government. but he imposed from above to implement some very unpopular policies about anyone getting a survey about it. there's a lot being talked about about the fact that richey soon as the 1st known white but his prime minister, obviously some indian background. he's a hindu. one would imagine that are elements within the tory party who are going to be hoping that soon that is going to be able to reach out to connect with cultural groups within the u. k. who might feel alienated by the quote, traditional conservative party. do you think that that's going to work is you actually get to resonate with groups like that? i mean, it's difficult to say, i mean the tories, i've done well at having people from ethnic minority backgrounds at the top of the policy for quite a long time. people have ethnic minority backgrounds,
8:19 pm
the polls show do still tend to labor. i suppose it's important to recognize that it is significant. networking has its fast person of color as prime minister. i think it's worth noting that you know this, this has been treated without much incident. there isn't much opposition to it, which is a good thing that might have been a different story 2 decades ago. at the same time, i don't think we should get carried away. i mean, british politics has been defined by some very, very reactionary policies from the conservative party, regardless of the mississippi of people in certain roles. i think particular talents what abraham would probably stand out as, as to women from ethnic minorities who implemented in some championed policies which were very conservative. i mean, i'd probably call them reactionary, but the way they talked about migration and, and the like. so i don't think it's a given that because they have installed an asian man as prime minister. that means that because i think minorities are going to rally behind the tories. but i mean, they can clearly say, look, and we, the party have changed from 102020 years ago,
8:20 pm
and they were playing some sort of victory. the opposite labor part is how to lead in the polls. and it's been remarkably quite okay. estimate at least the lead leader has been fairly quiet in time, at least in relation to this recent sort of tory party race. what impact do you think these changes in the tory party are going to have on the labor party? how is it going to have to adapt to this new look? well, i suppose probably they're not going to be able to go on competence and decorum as hard as, as they have done in the past. so sort of be a tax. they were making a virus johnson and let's trust that they were essentially not up to the job. these were people who had been installed in the wrong role and everyone could see they weren't quite capable of fulfilling. the task now really soon appears to be an intelligent person. he's not as gas prone as the trust for johnson, of course, trust his gaps weren't just embarrassments. they will so radically increased the amount of money people are paying for that pension. so that a hotline will probably change at the same time. i don't think it's gonna be
8:21 pm
difficult for labor to keep holding lead, and that's probably more than anything because of the fundamentals. so i think morgan stanley said today that if the mortgage rates go up to 6 percent next year, which seems likely you could have 30 to 40 percent of people struggling to pay their mortgages. but what we simply conservative over the past 12 years, i have completely trust the living standards of the bottom part of the population with sarah to did completely cut people's benefits, made like very, very difficult for about 30 percent of the population. but they weren't people who tended about conservative. what you've got now is a situation where people who might consider bad conservative homeowners mortgage holders. they are now very, very annoyed at the direction the country has gone in because that being hit now. so i think labor can be quite confident they probably will win the next general election. now to say case dom i'm on why i was on the left, the part in the quick, the critique of case thomas, he was waiting for the conservatives to fail. doesn't really have much of a policy platform to inspire anyone. but if you are going to have to be
8:22 pm
a party to fail, now would be a good time to do it because it's always have completely imploded. and he now does look like a relatively safe pair of hands, and i think that's being borne out in the pulse. really interested to get your thoughts from this michael walker. thank you very much. indeed for being with us on a pleasure, organized turns or other world news. now a well known pakistani journalist has been killed in kenya. please say arshad sheriff was 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 or barton monday reports fuller pakistani prime minister among khan with one of the 1st senior officials to visit the law 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, emerald con wrote, he is deeply shocked,
