her oh, watching the world cup in 1982 glorious technicolor from spain. i've never seen anything like in these plays about it come from a different planet. and after that, i was all in on the low come. i think we're forcing from doha, which is now my home on the very 1st woke up. it's going to take place in the middle east. it's going to be a night. it is it hugely complex and often controversial events cover. but once a ball is kicked, the passion in the excitement of football takes out. ah,
1:01 pm
this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm still robin. you're watching the algebra news, our life, and we're headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. richie sudak is set to take over as britons 3rd prime minister this year with high inflation. and the slowing economy, top of his agenda, palestinian told funerals for those killed by israeli forces in overnight raids, including a leader of the lions den. armed group, also puzzle slide clone, it's bangladesh killing at least 11 people and destroying many homes. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski calls for urgent international investment in the reconstruction of his country following russia's invasion. i'm trying to catch
1:02 pm
roscoe with well cut latest castles. amir says, criticism of his country hosting that tournament has been unprecedented and calls it defamation while walcott champion isn't it means a dan tells his fellow frenchman to en talks of a boycott at the tournament and focus on the football. ah, welcome to the program. we stall the nissan in the united kingdom, where richey suna is about to meet with king charles the 3rd at buckingham palace, where he'll officially become britain's new prime minister. at $42.00, he'll become the country's youngest leader in 2 centuries. and the 1st of asian heritage in the past outgoing prime minister lives trust gave a final speech, a downing street we reverse the national insurance increase. we helped millions of households with our energy bills and help thousands of
1:03 pm
businesses avoid bankruptcy. we are taking back our energy independence, so we are never again beholden to global market fluctuations or maligned foreign powers. from my time as prime minister, i am more convinced than ever that we need to be bold and confront the challenges that we face. bothersome as in london, and joseph are from dining street where lives trusts was speaking shortly. and it does also seem andrew. there were no regrets in that speech. that's the standard really? she didn't say sorry wrong sir. she seemed a very relax contained under mamma. the most fluent for a long time. we've heard that mind the tone of it was quite defiant. really? that's the subject because she was moral as saying or, well,
1:04 pm
it's not so much what she said is what she didn't say. the apology was one thing and also are any regret an expression of how things could have been different or any explanation for how badly things went with the markets or any explanation for why she sacked her of finance minister without a lot of explanation. and why she handle the news conference in such an abrupt way, directly after she made that sacking. she then restated all of her principles, low taxes growing the economy. am giving a lot of attention to leveling up in the u. k. are trying to equalize a distribution of money between the regions. and she also said that sir of bricks, it wasn't effectively being used in the right manner. so it was an unusual
1:05 pm
departure speech. it was quite but defiant in the extreme. and of course then she went and it was a bit of a non event real. he, it wasn't emotional, it wasn't overwhelming in any way. and it was the shortest term, any prime minister in the u. k. as served as prime minister. now there is obviously a protocol of one prime minister leaving another one arriving. so just bring our viewers up to speed on where we are in terms of that rather intricate process. well, yes sir. buckingham palace is just confirm that sir. las trust has time to her resignation . it has been accepted. i'm so now the next move is for richie sumac to arrive at buckingham palace. i'm to be asked by king charles referred to form a government that he'll get down to right away. he will 1st of all,
1:06 pm
arrive here in downing street or before going in to number 10. he will outline, ah, he will make an acceptance speech and give more detail of what he is about because we've heard very little, it's moves so quickly. this appointment the, the wasn't deed on any voting simply because no nominations exceeded the 100 required to make it into a contest. so he was just basically given the automatic flag to take the job, which is quite remarkable, really when you consider how long was spent all the way through the summer at to arrive at least trust being made of the leader of the conservative party. and also of course, prime minister straight afterwards, and it was in fact sooner who was the runner up? now, these overtaken her. he takes control. how will he do this? he is the youngest prime minister since the 18th century. ah, he's a hindu. he's
1:07 pm
a british indian and this is a 1st, this is going to be a different approach. there is going to be a lot more expected of him. it has to be said because of his financial background, because he's an expert with finances and because he's gonna target the economy, which is a total mess right now on the british, people want to see action taken to make their lives a little bit more tolerable. andrew from his own dining st. thanks very much awhile . andrew was talking to he saw pictures of the convoy of vehicles heading towards buckingham palace and entering the grounds. we believed that was rashid not being coming. prime minister. let's get more on ready. the conservative policies of what he has to think about and how big the entree will be with ben harris county, chairman of the bo group, a conservative think tank,
1:08 pm
joins me now from london. good, tough with us. mr. harris quine on the program. 5 pm's in 12 years and one really does one to how different disillusion, the sort of conservative membership and the conservative movement is with the conservative party right now. yes, i think there is, there is great disillusionment. and over the course of 12 years, there have been a lot of promises made a lot of blame laid at the door of the previous labor government. but i think we're at the point now where concerted voters, concerted members are really starting to blame. the conservative party for the not delivering on a lot of those promises and will say, frankly, for the chaos that has ensued in recent years. it's not just that there's been 5 prime ministers in 12 years. it's also the only one of those prime ministers came into downing street of the back of the general election. i think there's an
1:09 pm
increasing feeling that what it stopped in the head of many, gracie. so people behind closed doors concert, the central office of picking the prime minister, that one of the largest democracies in the world. and i don't think that situation is sustainable to the conservative party. now for great britain, oh, economy. and she's just in a moment, but can we sort of talk about the cabinet because liz trust wanted her own supporters around her regardless, what can we expect from sooner? because without the party membership voting for him in this particular instance, he's, i presume, needs a mix of ministers that appeal to the conservative masses. the m p 's and beyond those conservative voters. yes, i mean many people who come out today, i'm considering peas and it said that they feel the conservative party is now available because i'm, it's not even just that there are 2 factions. there are many factions, and it's impossible to form a government that unites all of them. certainly,
1:10 pm
i think sooner. cool, we'll, we'll try to have a broad range of views in his cabinet. but i think the senior positions will be occupied by what you might call establishment figures. i think jeremy hunt will probably stay in there. one of the great offices estate probably continue this chance and it's quite likely that you might see any more come in. i would say it's fairly unlikely that you'd see a bigger life, so at a browser than that he has become a dolling of the right to the conservative party and has reiterated some of those past promises on immigration. but i don't see how her views are going to be compatible with sooner as they were compatible with trust. ok, so richie c, 9 k, is he really any different to the p ends? we've all promised untainted conservatism. i mean only sort of out of ideas having sort of governed as a you have been quoted as left of tony blair. what did you mean by that?
1:11 pm
what i mean by that is if you look at each area of policy and the conservators came in in 2010, promising to cut the national debt, they tripled it. and they promised to cut taxes. we have her at the highest tax burden since the war. certainly much higher than under tony blair. we have higher levels of annual immigration to the united kingdom, both legal and illegal than under glad. and i think a lot of people feel that what is often dr. work has really taken hold over the last decade. and so it would actually be hard to find a policy area where they weren't to the left of blair, if you actually look at the policies implemented and, and the, and the data and the figures rather than the rhetoric. and do i think where she sat will reverse that? certainly not. i think there is a deep chasm that exist between the concerted me, but that breaks it, made notes and conservative empties. i think that is coming home to roost and you can see that in the polling numbers with the highest proportion actually of boats
1:12 pm
as you voted for conservatives and sort of in 2019. now switching to none of the above rather than switching across to later. so there's a lot of people who are small c conservatives who feel that they are now politically homeless because the conservative party no longer represents them. i mean, the economy itself is a huge challenge in all aspects. and we, and we know all about it. we've been hearing all about it for months now and now with the european country of global nation nay, is exempt from the economic problems that they're facing. but sooner talks of fiscal responsibility, i'm just wondering whether the british public need to brace themselves for the worst. well, i mean, it's absolutely necessary. the baby is identified 250000000000 in cuts, but we don't think will affect public services. and they include things like h s 20 international aid. but there's no question that comes up to be made in the real market reaction to the mini punches wasn't because of sickness,
1:13 pm
because as an april pitcher the markets felt that the british government was spending borrowing and printing well beyond its means. and that's what we've been for some time, you know, every great crisis, correct. a virus hostile living energy crisis has been sold by more boring and more printing money. and of course not situation is unsustainable. it carries on, we'll have another crisis like we did in 2008. so it is about the most important that those books are balanced. it will be incredibly controversial. however, the debate as to where those captured full it be very interesting indeed. been harris county her that thanks very much for joining us from london. of course, let's take you back to london, and amongst all the greenery of the british capital, there is buckingham palace where richey see like, is now meeting king charles the 3rd jasper commission. and that permission to be granted by the king to form the next british club. but we will, of course,
1:14 pm
be going back not only to london, but also to dining street, where richey. c. like is expected to speak, but a mile away from buckingham palace darling st. why i told them al, takes about 15 minutes to get there. but you see that could also take the number 24 bus, but i doubt he'll be doing that on this very important day. plenty moorhead here on the al jazeera news, our including how a u. s. investigation into wall way led to spy charges against to chinese intelligence officers. katara is pledging to host the 1st cop a neutral football. well cut. we take a look at the challenges facing the tiny gulf nation. ah, a funeral procession is underway for palestinians killed during an israeli army raid and the occupied westbank israeli military and had nobliss
1:15 pm
on monday though it's blocking protests at least $25.00 people were killed in the city. another was killed there, tamala, amongst the dead as a prominent leader of the armed group, the lions den. it bream is at the funeral in annapolis. we are here now with palestinian throughout attention, but the occupied westbank had one day that we'd seen palestinian in one day. i booked them out of here. and as you can see, the procession is going on and we're seeing people, palestinians who were killed. one of them is what do you and how are very,
1:16 pm
with known as what the need are all the engaging oh popularity lately because palestinian with of israel or is this a mobilized by themselves in the past feel with by the palestinian authority a be engage the it before the rag people were saying that's why the and however, one of those who were killed has refused to hand over his weapon and
1:17 pm
date. of course there has been no way of support for the palestinians who are taking up arms and fighting these ready occupation fitness with western sla, with more on israel's reaction, we've been told it was prime minister yala paid in defense minister penny counts, watched this operation in nablus overnight. busy from the security military had quarters in tel aviv. ah, they say that sir? yeah. le. pete was on the radio early on this morning and he said they were working for several days or more is a complex operation. he says the goal is to prevent terrorism inside israel and in the settlements. now israel also says the military says that they expect this lines then group to take revenge for what happened last night in the coming day. so they remain on quite high security alert that they blame the lines and group for
1:18 pm
a series of attacks in recent months. and the belief is that they're trying to clamp down on this group before it gathers momentum before it gets bigger. it's a relatively new group viewed as being non sectarian viewed as being secular and the very security services. the view here is one to stop this group before it expands. it's also very important to mention that we are only one week away from a general election in israel. the 5th in 4 years, israelis vote on security matters. the timing of this event is certainly very helpful to you. i'll appear i'm been against. he's hoping that come the election, there'll be enough of a coalition that he can bring together, that he can form the next government snapping at his heels. is benjamin netanyahu looking at a comeback at current pulls actually give netanyahu could on its coalition, just about the largest part in power, but not perhaps with enough seats to form
1:19 pm
a government. so anything that makes the current prime minister look good and tough on security is not going to do any harm. so let's take a closer look at what we know about the lions den not members of the group 1st appeared in public nobliss in the occupied with bank last month. they recited what they called a charter of resistance during the moral service. the 2 palestinians killed by israeli forces. and since then the lion stand have claim responsibility for number of attacks on military checkpoint and illegal settlement in nablus. abraham eunice says i need a coordinator for the palestinian youth movement. he says, the line stand armed group has emerged in response to re the attacks on young palestinians. the understand the perspective of palestinian using the west bank. you have to look at a situation where there's a 100000 settlers who are legally occupying a great percentage of the land there. you have constant daily attacks on palestinian youth who are whether they're crossing checkpoints, whether they're walking to school or to work. the number of young palestinians run
1:20 pm
over by cars or talk by settlers is large. so obviously there's going to be a lot of popularity among youth in the west bank when a group says that they're not going to accept the presence of these settlers on their land. they emerged out of a group of views who defend the city, essentially from israeli incursions and decided to create a more formal group that would defend the city, which is where the group name and organizational structure sort of emerged. they do not have a working relationship with the palestinian authority. so the palestinian authority at the higher levels are collaborates with or coordinate security with with israel and the lions den does not. so they do not have a formal relationship. the journey is hosting a conference on rebuilding ukraine after russia's invasion. the president of the
1:21 pm
commission said, attacked by russian forces on infrastructure appeal, acts of terrorism is estimated. it'll cost at least $200000000000.00 to repair ukraine's infrastructure. in the early days of russia's invasion of ukraine been became a symbol of resistance. now, how much am jean default reconstruction efforts underway during life? back to the heavily damaged city? here in the air pin which sits just outside keys and stands as a symbol of ukrainian resistance. you can still very clearly see the massive levels of devastation that this war has brought upon this country. it's been months since russian forces withdrew from the city. and yet, apartment complexes like this one still lie in ruin. that's because government money is largely going to the military right now. and it's also why residents associations here are putting up signs on the sides of buildings asking for
1:22 pm
donations and providing bank details for those who wish to donate. let us uber. oh, use them when they do. and if we find funding by spring or summer, we could begin rebuilding our house. and by 2024, we would lightly come back here to live village on the costs of repairing the damage to ukraine's infrastructure has been estimated by the keys school of economics to be nearly 200000000000 dollars. now, local officials here and throughout the country have been appealing to the international community for help in their reconstruction efforts here and ear pin people are still living in less damaged buildings like this one. in this city. there were more than a 1000 buildings that were damaged and more than a 100 that were destroyed completely. as a result of the fighting profession was lewis delivered a list that we come back because we wanted to be in ohio. and thanks to the authorities, we are slowly getting prepared and we're trying to live and we hope everything will be rebuilt soon. e. yeah,
1:23 pm
no problem of the day. so problem with what we don't have enough building materials needed to finish the work. that's why we're asking charitable organization for more health and supplies for many throughout ukraine are doing all they can to aid in the reconstruction effort, but with winter fast approaching temperatures dropping, and russia targeting more and more of the country's power grid. the cranium are growing ever more concern both but both enjoy me know from belinda and we are expecting to hear more about the commitments or pledges for you cry. what are you hearing right now? well the big question here and belinda is who is going to pay for this? a fairly costly and huge reconstruction, a reconstruction of ukraine. it is a lot of pressure on the european union to put up it's effort because the united states has put in more than $50000000000.00 just for mostly for military 8th union
1:24 pm
has also pledged a lot of money, but only a fraction of it has already been paid and his address as 2 video link to the conference from key if president landscape and basically complains that from this fast recovery fund that they have to establish the ukraine. that was not a single sent being paid by any international donor so far. so that was quite a painful moment in this conference, which is all about money for the reconstruction of ukraine. the big question of course, is also who is willing to pay while the war is ongoing. they are estimates by the world bank that the $350000000000.00 us dollar is needed, but this price, this costs are going up by today of course, because of more destruction. so lansky said one 3rd of all the energy facilities were already destroyed. only in the last couple of weeks by russian attacks. so there is pressure on the e u and also the e was saying that they want to step up because ukraine is
1:25 pm
a candidate member for the european union. so this whole reconstruction could be and huge benefits for europe to have ukraine as a very prosperous nation and the which are so with the help of a lot of donors that could be possible. but again, it seems as still quite some reluctance to really make commitments. and we are not really expecting any plot, just or commitments today. it's going to be just the outlining of a framework, how to deal with the reconstruction of your brain in the future. so that's and force that and lame, thank you. that's because with keith and how he thought it had standing by. and of course, you know, we talk about reconstruction, harry, in the past few weeks, we seen russia target a lot of those are the energy infrastructure. and some of that energy infrastructure revolves around nuclear facilities. and that's worrying, potentially, inspectors who want to view and, and get that to see what's going on. well, yes sir, and some of this is the, obviously, the, the,
1:26 pm
the energy grid is being targeted are increasingly by the russian side. but they are also putting forward this narrative, this very concerted message coming from russia that ukraine intends to use an explosive laced with radioactive material, a so called dirty bomb, in order to blame such an explosion on the russians. that is something that is being entirely refuted. here are least, rebutted by the ukrainian side and western capitals as well saying that this is transparently false and according to the ukrainians could be, or the russians laying the ground for doing something of this nature themselves. and so what the ukrainians are asking for is some additional evidence to back up their side of the argument. so they call the i e 8 in and the i, e, a, the international atomic energy agency says that it will be sending inspectors into particular the to ukrainian nuclear facilities. which russia accuses of being in
1:27 pm
the final stage of this working up of a dirty bomb. and what we're also hearing today is from the ukrainian atomic energy company, an arrow atom which says that there's an apparition, nuclear power plant, you trains biggest, which is currently on the rock russian control, that there are russian activities there which it is very suspicious of it says that the ukrainian staff and the i e 's, a staff there aren't able to access this one area of the plant, which houses spent nuclear fuel. it says there are a construction works going on there, carried out by the russians in secret that there are a $174.00 containers of for spent nuclear fuel. they're each of them with $24.00 assemblies inside it. and when we spoke to a senior energy or the defense analyst about the situation, he said that zapper is you would be the place that the russians would use, should they want to try to engineer some kind of dirty bomb themselves. he also
1:28 pm
said though, and this is, i think worth giving equal weight that to do so would be an extremely risky thing. it could be rhetoric coming from russia, trying to show that they are prepared to escalate if necessary, that they aren't backing down. despite the numerous defeats they've had on the battlefield in recent weeks, hurry force are there for a seaman. keith, thanks for it for the update harry. while still ahead here on the news i, we looked at why black voters in brazil could determine the winner of its tight presidential ronald. also, a spanish football fan goes missing while walking to the wall. cough and his parents fir, the worst bustle coming up in sport. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with most of my cattle airways, here's your weather update in
1:29 pm
a minute 15 and right off the top. it's not good news. the rain is piling in for the north, west of spain, northern and central portugal. these winds winding up as well. we'll see. gusts of about 70 kilometers per hour. so quite nasty weather in that wet weather will stream into the republic of ireland that southwest of france as we had to state into wednesday in time. temperatures are on their way up through scandinavia and still high temperatures through the balkans. but a bit more cloud cover in sarajevo means the temperature will be 24 degrees and we've got some rain all in red across crecia on tuesday for a turkey or plenty of sun in the forecast. but we've got this batch of what weather around cairo and some showers for jordan and syria in the forecast on tuesday after africa we go in our heaviest pulses of rainbow. once again be southern nigeria, but also southern benito togo and gone. i know this area has been prone to flooding, and certainly we could see some more, some severe thunderstorms firing up across south africa's eastern cape province, quote zulu it towel, a durbin,
1:30 pm
some showers in the forecast for you with the high 29 degrees in time. quite high temperatures in southern botswana. look at this habit, roney all the way up to 37 degrees with all to all sunshine on tuesday. and now you're in the now while susan, take her to with sponsored by kat. are there ways dumpling, in bond with an important part of indian culture? it's no surprise in many people, one to the one done, one could try to balance family expectations and cultural tradition, i guess the way. now anyways, i'm with the reality of working in the giving industry with when the news breaks, it's not just personal property, but also infrastructure that now the big thing from power lines to water me when
1:31 pm
people need to be heard and the story told they would get punished if they spoke ukrainian. i'm afraid i won't be able to return home with exclusive interviews and in depth to poor south african penguins won't. have anybody. i would you 0 has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentary and live lou. ah welcome back. you want to be able to is there a news on with me? is the whole robin in doha reminder of all the top stories, richie sooner case moments away from officially becoming britain's new prime minister. c, like is meeting with king charles a 3rd in buckingham palace form prime minister. his trust has officially resigned.
1:32 pm
also funeral procession is underway for palestinians killed during an israeli army right and the occupied west bank at least 5 people were killed in nablus. another day rama germany is hosting a conference of rebuilding ukraine after russia's invasion. the president of the commission said, russia's attacks on infrastructure were pure acts of terrorism. the us justice department says that it's charged 2 suspected chinese intelligence officers. washington says they were allegedly involved in a plot to disrupt the federal probe into the chinese tech giant while way. the justice department also and separate charges against 4 other chinese nationals. it accuses, i'm trying to get hold of sensitive technology and the cover of an academic institution . each of these cases lays bare the chinese government's flagrant violation of international laws as they work to project their authoritarian view around the world, including within our own borders. in all 3 of these cases,
1:33 pm
and frankly and thousands of others, we've found the chinese government threatening, established democratic norms and the rule of law as they work to undermine us economic security and fundamental human rights. 100 castro, small from washington, d. c. these 2 o and chinese agents try to bribe a u. s. law enforcement official into giving up sensitive and secret documents regarding the u. s. is a legal legal strategy in its prosecution of huawei, but that in fact, this u. s. government official was a double agent who was working under the direction of f. b i and feeding these alleged chinese spies, a fake documents. there were also other cases, they mention another case in new jersey where 7 chinese nationals were charged with trying to force a fleet repatriate in her ras, a naturalized
1:34 pm
u. s. citizen into returning to china. 2 of those that have been charged in that case have been arrested, but a big question is, how the u. s. will arrest the remaining individuals who were charged if they are no longer in the u. s. or have been conducting this from china, this whole time, bigger picture here. now again, i said that this, this was announced by the 2 top lawn forests ment, officers in the us, the f b i director and the attorney general. and they had strong words about what they called the backdrop of maligned activity from china, described as espionage, harassment, obstruction of justice and the stealing of technology. so let's take you our top story. she see that kids take over as the case prime minister. this is the british capital side, buckingham palace, the gates are opened, which must mean that the convoy of his calls must be soon to leave. buckingham
1:35 pm
palace has been meeting the king to seek his position to form his majesty's next government. those crowds of calls waiting to part to take photographs of another moment in history. there the now where the convoy will drive up towards y toll and then into downing street. the journey is about a mile long. it should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes. we will go live to dining street. when the new prime minister addresses the nation in the meantime, will speak to mark oswald. he's the chief economist at atm investor services. join me now from london. good. have you with us on the program. let's just begin with, richie su, next comments. all the country will experience profound economic challenges. he seems to be preparing the ground for some pretty difficult choices for not only is government and the reality that the british public will find difficult perhaps to swallow in the coming weeks. yes, he does. i mean that you know, that there are profound economic challenges and the cost of living and energy
1:36 pm
crisis, which is not only grew up in the u. k, but also more broader problems for the u. k. economy. ah, labor shortage is due to skill shortages are and then general challenges of managing that transition drew away from the ear. so these are all actually sort of confluence thing for the time being and making that even more difficult. and indeed ma'am, you know, inflation is hovering around 10 percent. we haven't seen that for a couple of decades in the u. k. add to that the fact that he also has to try and be no men to fracture tory party. but in terms of the fiscal responsibility, it's all very well to talk about spending, but you have to rejuvenate the economy. and to do that, you that up, i presume, save money or it requires cash injections. and where are those cash injections going to come from? are we looking at corporate when full taxes,
1:37 pm
or is the public expected to pay for all of this? the money has to come from somewhere. well that, that is sort of partially the problem, the, what's being routed or before he won, is that mr. hunt would basically extend the energy when tax, which is actually not necessary that just because the more you tax, the energy companies, the less likely they are to invest and in business investment is precisely what the u. k needs. it's very sluggish. the 2nd thing which is being proposed is a tax on a windfall. tax on the banking sector are largely because there is a feeling that they're not passing on the increased rates that are happening in the u. k to savers. but then again, they're already tax quite highly and you're in a situation of rising interest rates, we don't want to then actually, well, be availability of credit to you, k economy. and of course, you know,
1:38 pm
all sterility is not a. busy word that the current government want to bring back into the conversation, but it might well be bad, did around and that the public response was very negative to it under the former. a conservative chancellor, george osborne, but you know, it perhaps isn't inevitable. it isn't it. ah, well, there's a certain amount of it i but you have to also be very, very careful. yes. i think the one proposal which mr student made while he was so previously chancellor, was that the measure to actually support and the, the consumer sector in terms of the energy crisis should be targeted for those on the lower incomes are, which was not the case with mistrust per proposals and that's basically going to have to be the best rust of what neighbor they do, where there are going to be cut batch. it really needs to ensure that you're not harming. ready lowest in people on the lowest income society already stretched to
1:39 pm
their absolute limits. mark, just bear with me for one second. we just got some breaking news. now, coming in that to richie soon has been appointed. as the british prime minister, he has been given that permission by king charles the 3rd to form the next government. and of course, we will get more than that as we see mister sudak leave buckingham palace mark. obviously we do now officially have a new prime. it is so richie soon back in the days of cove it and during the pandemic, used a very much a big state approach. and in terms of looking after the community at large somewhat, pap sensitive, unheard offer a perhaps a conservative chancellor. unusual for conservative to spend, spend, spend, we certainly tend to think of the labor party having that sort of trait. do you think that could be something that we may see more of prime minister soon act doing in the weeks ahead? you know that the big approach to help all sectors of british society
1:40 pm
i'm not sure that's going to be limits now. i think we all should your to remember that actually asked chancellor, he was pressured by other members of the government. not to be quite so hasty to as much of the over sore a lot of spending during care of it. he was trying to end the 3rd scheme a lot earlier than what's going to be necessary and some of the other forbearance measures. so he is, you know, he is on the hawkish side, so as much as i expect to see some increased spending, i think it is going to be rather limited. and that's going to be the biggest challenge for the u. k. economy fix, mistrust wasn't role. we in the, in the, the point that the u. k. really does need a good kick start, or it's economy, because it really is lagging a lot of it's g 7 years. and of course, at the end of the day, the markets are very clear about how they feel there's been a slight, a improvement encouragement of the appointment of richie soon. ag. what should we
1:41 pm
be looking at in the coming either weeks or months into the way the government are approaching the economy here in the u. k. and how the markets of reacting to because obviously the intertwined. yes, i mean there's 2 aspects to it. one that they will really want to see that the conservative party is acting in a unified way if there is any resurgence of the sort of back stabbing what we saw based on the mr. johnson and obviously on the mistrust that confidence which is b, for that benefit of the doubt which has been given to mr. soon after the moment will soon evaporate. the 2nd thing is going to be how the, how the public react and how the conservative back bench is also react to the measures which are announced. because if they found, basically that light b, u k is going to have to go for a long period, which is quite stagflation. re our, there isn't much in the way of stimulus for the economy and there are increasing
1:42 pm
burdens both for businesses. and even if it's particular businesses and consumers are the resurgence of this unity seems to me very, very likely or see what happens. certainly for the time being, it's been good to speak about cost, hold by from a d. m invest to services and not to thank you very much for your time. let's go over to under simmons in downing street and andrew. obviously we're breaking the news now that we're hearing. that richie sudak has been appointed by king charles the 3rd to form his majesty's government. that's right. he is prime minister officially now, and he'll be getting in his car, his limousine very soon. in fact, only minutes away to drive over here to his new home number 10 downing street or the 3rd prime minister. o u k has had in only 50 days, quite a remarkable sequence of events. he has
1:43 pm
a massive task ahead of him. in actual fact, normally at this stage, you would see crowds gathering lots of m p 's gathering at both ends of downing street on this occasion. there is no one here in the way of other than the media, simply because has been an order puts out for m. p. 's not to be hand clapping at the new prime minister on arrival at downing street. because this is a, a serious, rather somber occasion. where the economy is in a dangerous trouble and the mood has to be contrite. the has to be, this is the word that's coming out that m. p 's must be very focused on listening to their new leader out outline, or what lies ahead and that doesn't sound good. it sounds as if there's going to be more belt tightening and certainly sounds as if wishes to knock is going to get
