2:00 pm
and he said he hoped to live up to the demands and he made this assurance. he would put the needs of the british people above politics, a future worthy of the sacrifices. so many people have made now lots of words there, but no actions in terms of the plan yet. obviously this sort of news is going to be followed up by our raft of measures he's going to make before the midterm fiscal statement, which is due next monday. it's a short distance away, but there is up a lot of verification going on right now of what's in the budget effectively. it isn't really budget and that is from the office of budget responsibility. and that's the is also ha, perhaps going to be adjusted by his actions because he may well want to change things. this is a prime minister who intends to fix the economy. that's going to be an immensely
2:01 pm
long job with people suffering from high inflation. high interest rates and lives that really are put under a big economic test. right now. it's 11 g m t that's mid day in london, you're watching al jazeera and the coverage of a richie soon act who has become officially the you case in new prime minister, cynic met king charles the 3rd a buckingham palace where he was asked to form a new government cynic is the 1st british asia and 1st hindu to lead the united kingdom. he's also buttons, 5th, prime minister in 6 years. let's go back to andrew simmons who's in law outside downing street where richey cynic, has just been speaking for the 1st time as officially. the you case in new prime minister. one of the things that people are going to be paying attention to is how he intends to deal with all the economic issues that the country is going to be facing. and there is precious little detail that has been given over the last week
2:02 pm
or so for obvious reasons. so that has been wrapped up in this leadership race. but the hard workforce tonight no begins because he's gonna have to start appointing people to the government that he hopes is going to be able to see the country through this economic crisis. i'm still there a names in his head right now, and he's going to get straight to that expect to see it in a very short space of time. people called in to downing street to be offered talk jobs. it is very likely, in fact, is certain that he will try to assemble a broad church effectively, that he'll want to unite the party. he said, the cat, the conservative party as to whether you nights or die. those were his words when he outlined his position up to the 1922 back benches. how meeting he will without doubt, i want to have people who are going to support him,
2:03 pm
but people who are going to have their own minds. a collection of experts is $17.00 ology for it. he wants to get straight to the economy as, as the main issue. but he also wants to try to revive some of the popularity, at least some of it that the conservative party used to enjoy. and remember it's color, it's got a good majority or more than 80 m p 's. yet it's at its lowest level for several decades in terms of popularity. and so he will be looking for experience. he'll be looking for loyalty and he will be want him to explain to the british people that he has a balance government that represents all factions of the conservative party we pursuing peace. set this against the context of a united opposition united in one demand. and that is for an election, this is the 3rd prime minister. within 50 days the, the background,
2:04 pm
the way soon act came to power or without a vote, or in a very rushed process to actually replace less trust who was forced out, didn't go of her own volition. and she wasn't working to her, the mandate, she'd actually won over from the conservative party not. and so not the british peoples. so there is a really long stack case of accountability here to the public. however soon, ocoee is absolutely crystal clear. he does not entertain any idea for an early election for a snap election. that's not surprising. the next election. he says will be 2024 when it's shared your. now, what about his personality? his position. how he's going to go down with the british people. he is a talented man when it comes to finance. ah, he is snappy. he's sharp. however,
2:05 pm
he is rich and that doesn't go down well with the british public. it's very rare that you get, i'm a person, a politician, a going to buckingham palace, whose wealth exceeds that of the monarch. that is the way it's been worked out by people far more qualified the me to actually work out the worth of any individual. his wife is, is a multi millionaire, he's a multi millionaire. they have investments all over the world. that has been controversy in the past about at the tax affairs all for soon ex wife and she now does pay. you pay taxes as a domiciled issue there. but that is patently been resolved. that is an issue with the british public. what is, what is also an issue with the british public is his approach as a conservative politician, a to working people he's seen in his constituency in yorkshire. i as an individual who is likes the p r, who likes the, the snappy campaign slogans,
2:06 pm
but doesn't necessarily get down down and with people who are, are really at my low amps and run right now. there is a, a you gov snap polls not, not long in saying that for out of san only for out of 10 are pleased with soon acts appointments and 56 percent. so that is a majority. want a general election now. andrew finance. thank you very much. indeed, andrew simmons outside 10 dining street. well, let's go back to that speech that tuition act made shortly after meeting king charles the 3rd to be officially appointed as the new prime minister of the united kingdom. so like promised to focus as under was expanding on the u. k. economy. i will place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this government's
2:07 pm
agenda. this will mean difficult decisions to come. but you saw me during cove, it doing everything i could to protect people and businesses with schemes like furlough. there are always limit more so now than ever but i promise you this. i will bring that same compassion to the challenges we face to day. let's go back to under simmons as outside 10 downing street, andrew, one of the things that struck me in the speech that he was making that a m, a one got a sense that said, i was attempting to take responsibility for things that had happened. he acknowledged that as he said, mistakes had been made, not born of ill will or intention, but mistakes had been made. but he also said that the mandate which his pays party
2:08 pm
as he put it, i had one belonged to not to one individual, but to the party. one would imagine that is referring at least in part to ballast johnson because of course, bar, as john said, had been very adamant that the mandate that had been created by that in the last election was done to him. it sounds as though richey soon as you have been explaining to us, is taking a different stance. he must certainly is he, he wants to have that they use that term broad church. he wants to have a really, really mixed approach for the party. he wants people to have that say he wants unity. ah, he's this no love lost between him embarrassed johnson. there's no doubt about that . in fact, horace johnson's mission from his holiday in the caribbean suit to london, where he was partly booed on the plane by fellow passengers. he came here with the
2:09 pm
expectation that he would be riding back into downing streets. he really thought he had a popular position in london, which he didn't have a quite simply, and he ended up being reliance on trying to get a deal with su neck to get back into power. now, i would have thought sooner what he, we probably didn't laugh at him, but he might just as well have done because obviously soon i felt that that was absolutely no way that he would would serve under boris johnson again. and, and so there you have an area that could cause future problems because johnson is still well regarded by quite a few people within the parliamentary party, even though they seem to go with the wind, you know, when, when someone's popular, they'll go with it. when, when the, when the, when the chips are down there, that being seen as being untruthful and misleading parliament, which is
2:10 pm
a allegation that's put up against johnson, that enquiries still isn't over. i'm so that there you have a position whereby johnson still has the eyes and ears of the british people as well because of his personality more than anything else. a lot of british people have forgiven the lies. he engaged in over his behavior on party gait. when this whole part of london, of the car, those of power, well there were parties in them a while. people were dying, thousands were dying across the u. k of cove it. and indeed, the coven regulations were breached here. and johnson was on, it was on his watch and he took part in some of those parties. so there you have a lot of history between him and, and soon act soon act who allegedly accidentally came upon. huh. a party that was going on and, and really didn't, didn't partake fully in it, but they were getting,
2:11 pm
you know, he's got up. he's got something to answer on that. he did pay a fine as did the prime minister. but this is something he wants out of the way now he wants the whole johnson era to be consigned to history. and a lot of people within the conservative body feel that way. so he will push forward them. you expect to hear some heavy announcement soon of hard hits. as for the cabinets, i'm assuming he'll be in front. he'll be in the apartment. his questions on wednesday when he will face a kiss, darma for the 1st time as prime minister. and he will be pushing really hard, however, never forget that the conservative party is up against serious resistance from the opposition part is particularly labor. that hasn't been stronger than for 25 years and it is right now. and they all want and a general election. and that is being resisted fiercely by the conservative andrew,
2:12 pm
thank you very much. indeed, andrew simmons talking to us and bringing us that analysis from outside 10 downing street, which is now the official home of a rush. he soon act the 3rd british prime minister in just at 7 weeks he has been appointed as the am. yeah, the new prime minister of the night, a kingdom after having met king charles the 3rd in the speech outside number 10, downing street cynex. and that he would bring compassion to challenges. that was where we're going to be faced. that he would know please. the next generation was dead to settle and he would, your nights, the country wave actions ah, a funeral procession has been held for palestinians killed during an israeli army rate in the occupied west bank. is there any military and to now below so on monday night, sparking protests,
2:13 pm
at least 5 people were killed in the city. another was killed in ramallah among the dead as a prominent leader of the on the group called lyons den did. abraham was on the funeral in nablus. we are here with palestinians a pension that the west bank had one day that we've seen palestinian in one day. i booked them out of europe. and as you can see, the procession is going on and we're seeing people, a palestinians who were killed. one of them is what do you have a very with known as what the need are? a lot of popularity lately,
2:14 pm
because palestinians with mobilized by themselves, i in the past feel with by the palestinian authority a be engaged with the for the rag people were saying that's why the and how i for one of those who were killed has refused to hand over his weapon and date, of course,
2:15 pm
there has been no way of support for the palestinians who are taking up arms and fighting these really occupation. martin smith is in western michelin with more on israel's reaction. we've been told it was prime minister yar laclede and 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. yale appeared 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 lion's den 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 a series of attacks in recent months. and the belief is that they're trying to
2:16 pm
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 here 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 repeat, i'm to ben. he comes, he's hoping that come the election. there will 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 pools? actually give netanyahu's li could and its coalition just about the largest part in power, but not perhaps with enough seats to form a government. so anything that makes the current prime minister look good and tough on security is not going to do him any harm. so had an ard as id of the ukrainian
2:17 pm
president calls for urgent international investment in the reconstruction of his country after russia's invasion. how a u. s. investigation into hallway led to spy charges against 2 chinese intelligence officers. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with sponsored my cattle aways and off we go with your weather update. great to see you were going to begin in vietnam. the rain still falling for the coast here from hanoi then right through to denying southern sections as well around haute human city where this just cease of the philippines. that's likely to cook up into something. but for now our heaviest batch of rain is over mid now. island meantime for indonesia continues to be our problems spot, southern, sumatra, west java, central, java,
2:18 pm
and east java as well. could certainly see the risk of some more flooding. here. temperatures have lowered with that cloud and rain across the yellow and the yang see river valley wu. han down to 19 degrees, but still keeping the heat there for gray land and nearby one province where we've got temperature is exceeding 30 degrees. it's a different story on japan's main island of honju. some frost advisories in play for the northern part of that portion of the island. queer conditions, light winds. it's the perfect recipe for that. tokyo, just the high of 17 degrees on wednesday. quite dry pitcher across india now or monsoon brains have cleared away and also that tropical cyclone that we did have it was a quick movie, most of that rain up around baton and the foothills of the himalayas and len, this weather report in pakistan, karachi, we've gotta have 36 degrees on wednesday. that's it. susan de, with sponsored by kat, are they always france once had a vast empire standing several continents. but by the 1940s,
2:19 pm
the french were forced to confront reality and demands fav dependence. and if us ought to that documentary series al jazeera looks at how the colonial unrest grew. conflict to know. cheerier and full scale warn indo china blood and his french tea colonization on al jazeera. ah ah, the what you know, does it remind of a top stories at this hour richie soon has officially become the case, new prime minister, so not commence king charles, the 3rd at buckingham palace, where he was asked to form a new government select is the 1st british,
2:20 pm
asian and 1st hindu to lead the united kingdom. a funeral procession is under way for palestinians killed during an israeli army rate and the occupied west bank of used to 5 people were killed in nobliss and another near her mama. germany's hosting a conference on rebuilding ukraine after russia's invasion. the president of the e commission said attacks by russian forces and infrastructure are pure acts of terrorism. it's estimated, it's going to cost at least a $200000000000.00 to repair ukraine's infrastructure step austin's good more from berlin. well, the big question here, and berlin is, who is going to pay for this? a very costly and huge reconstruction, a reconstruction of ukraine. it is a lot of pressure on the european union to put up it's efforts because the united states has put in more than $50000000000.00 just for mostly for military 8th. and european union has also pledged a lot of money, but only
2:21 pm
a fraction of it has already been paid in his address through a video link to the conference from key. if president landscape basically complains that from this foss recovery fund that they have established in ukraine 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 at $350000000000.00 us dollar is needed, but this price, this costs are going up by today, of course, because of more destruction. so lansky sat, 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 you and also the you are saying that they want to step up because ukraine is a candidate member for the european union. so that this whole
2:22 pm
a reconstruction could be a huge benefit for europe to half ukraine as a very prosperous nation in the future. so with the help of a lot of donors, that could be possible, but again, it seems there's still quite some reluctance to really make commitments. plenty, early days of rushes, invasion of ukrainian pin became a symbol of resistance. bowers, muhammad jammah june reports reconstruction efforts are underway to bring life back to the heavily damaged city. here, an ear 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 residence
2:23 pm
associations here are putting up signs on the sides of buildings asking for donations and providing bank details for those who wish to donate. let us reverse. oh, we expect that if we find funding, then by spring or summer, some restoration work will begin. and by 2024, we would likely come back here to live. the costs of repairing the damage to ukraine's infrastructure has been estimated by the keith school of economics to be nearly $200000000000.00. now, local officials here and throughout the country have been appealing to the international community for help in their reconstruction efforts. here an 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 on the list that we came back because he wanted to be in our home. thanks. hi,
2:24 pm
authorities. we are slowly getting prepared and we're trying to live and we hope everything will be rebuilt soon. yeah, 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 power grid craniums are growing ever more concerned the urns nuclear want songs preparing to send inspectors to ukraine. they been invited by keith to examine facilities after russia accused ukraine of planning to use explosives laced with nuclear material. how he forces following developments in cave. this very concerted message coming from russia that ukraine intends to use an explosive laced with radioactive material, so called dirty bomb in order to blame such an explosion on the russians. that is
2:25 pm
something that's being entirely refuted here, released rebutted by the ukranian side and western capitals as well saying that this is transparently false. and according to the ukrainians could be of 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 called 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 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 in a row at on which says that this upper region, nuclear power plant, you trains biggest, which is currently under russian control, that there are russian activities there which it is very suspicious of it says that
2:26 pm
the ukrainian staff and the i a'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 containers of 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. the u. s. justice department says it's charged to suspected chinese intelligence officers. washington says about allegedly involved in the plot to disrupt a federal probe and to the chinese tech giant hallway, the justice department also and, and separate charges against 4 other chinese nationals. i dunno. castro has more from washington dc. these 2 are and chinese agents try to bribe
2:27 pm
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 and harass a naturalized us citizen, inter 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,
2:28 pm
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. ah, more than a 1000000 for ball funds are preparing for their trip to cut off with world cup just $26.00 days away. the environmental impact of drop money travelers will be huge, but organizers are confident of delivering the 1st carbon neutral tournament. natasha police reports carbon dioxide or c o 2 emission sword to a record level last year by several indexes. cutter ranks high globally when it comes to c o. 2 emissions per capita. this november,
2:29 pm
the gulf nation is pledging to host the 1st ever carbon neutral world cup. lot of people will gumble together buy it, but the activities hidden gather is design in such of it all the emissions associated or there will be limited emissions and this emissions available bellas, the layout of stadiums over a small geographic area means once vans land in cutter they'll travel a relatively short distance by metro electric bus or car to matches in stadiums built with sustainability in mind. after footballs, premier spectacle is over the c o 2 emissions during the $28.00 days will be offset by investing in carbon credits. but a report by carbon market watch says, cut our 2020 two's carbon neutral plan is misleading. and based on what it calls
2:30 pm
creative calculations, it is highly unlikely this will talk, is going to be cohen you draw. it is not a credible claim, and there is a big risk that is going to mislead the bone. it can to thinking that this has no impact on the climate. when actually doesn't, does the organizing committee says cut hours? historic ambition should be recognized. not criticized. it points to the almost 1000000 square meters of green space created and a new solar power plant that will generate renewable energy for years after the tournament ends. we stand by our planning. we stand by our calculations and we stand by our plans to offset what's remaining in the best possible way. with the best information that we have a team from cut, our university will be setting up whether monitoring stations and sharing the daily air quality with fans during the world cup. the hope is it will spread awareness
2:31 pm
about the impact we have.
