7:02 pm
ah hello the u. k. is new prime minister richey soon act has officially taken office and wasted no time making cabinet appointments. one of his 1st decisions was to keep jeremy hunter's chancellor of the exchequer hunt was appointed by then prime minister less trust to replace a quasi quartet who she'd fired. dominic rob will return to the government as bo, deputy prime minister and justice secretary rolls. he's held before and remaining from liz's trust. his cabinet is the foreign secretary james cleverly, even though he publicly advocated for the return of boris johnson. earlier soon i vowed to fix the mistakes of his predecessor and said, one of his priorities will be to stabilize the economy. ha, brian and reports. richie soon akees britain's 3rd prime minister in the space of just 2 months. and he inherits a daunting set of problems in the wake of the brief and chaotic tenure of his
7:03 pm
predecessor list trust. some mistakes were made soon. ex message. i'm here to fix those problems. and that book begins immediately. i will place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this government's agenda. this will mean difficult decisions to come. richey soon act warned of a profound economic challenges that the u. k. now faces. now as he sweeps into down the street for the 1st time, has prime minister, it's time to set out his agenda. addressing the question about his mandate to govern after so many changes of prime minister without an election, he put the election winning 2019 manifesto at the center of his program and in a perceived swipe at both forest johnson and liz trust. soon, i committed. i have work to do and to restore trust. this government will have
7:04 pm
integrity, professionalism, and accountability. at every level. trust is earned and i will earn yours almost same spot. just 90 minutes early a danny street had seen the departing speech of liz trust, the shortest serving prime minister in british history after just 50 days in charge . there was little for her to claim credit for. so a short speech ended in a simple platitude. i believe in the british people. and i know the right to days, fly ahead. thank you. soon acts elevations, a prime minister, has received congratulations from around the world. the u. s. president joe biden described the 1st british asian prime minister as groundbreaking. pretty astounding, a groundbreaking milestone in matters. it matters and from the european commission chief version of on the land, we count on
7:05 pm
a strong relationship with the u. k. to defend our common values, but in russia the kremlin said it saw no grounds for hope that they'll be any positive changes. the soon act though the task of assembling his government is the immediate priority. stability and confidence to replace turbulence and division, pull brennan, al jazeera downing street. and let's bring an alan fisher who's joining us and outside the prime minister's residence and office at downing street so. so allen, the, the new prime minister has wasted no time making cabinet appointments. tell us about them. well, he's clearly got a plan and he knows that he's got to get down to business very quickly. but to court mike tyson, everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the most. and that's what happened, of course, to less trust. she had a plan and all fell apart very quickly. so richie sooner wants to avoid that. one of the things you can do to make sure that that doesn't immediately happen is by reappointing, jeremy hunt. as the finance ministers, chancellor of the exchequer to changes is, chancellor again would have spooked the markets. and he knows that there is
7:06 pm
a real financial crisis in the united kingdom. and speaking the markets would have made it much harder to dig himself out of that hole. so that is why jeremy hunt has kept that position. james cleverly as foreign secretary, that is perhaps a more of a surprise given as you said, particular that he supported boris johnson that on sunday to say that he would like to see boris johnson coming back. but the understanding is that james cleverly has done a good job at the foreign office, so that is why he keeps his position. and ben wallace another of the big offices of state as it is defense. and ben wallace will continue as secretary of state for defense as he did under board us johnson. and then again under las trust, there's a few more interesting people in number 10 at the moment. not least a michael gulf. i who worked as a journalist in aberdeen many, many years ago and has held various positions in the cabinet. first of all, under david cameron and then a briefly under
7:07 pm
a boris johnson. he could well be in line for a position back around the cabinet table as well. but richie soon at news, he's got to get his team together pretty quickly. he's got to give them directions of how he wants at the country to be run and he expects them to go out and do it. he also wants the conservative party to get behind him. he realizes the boorish, johnson was ultimately undone by dissension in the ranks. he also is aware that list trusses 45 days in office was seriously undermined by the visions and the conservative party. and he's hoping that the conservative party realizes that with about 2 years to the next general election, they've really got to get their act together, give their support to the man in charge, and hopefully turn round the huge deficit in the opinion polls at the moment, which would give labor a significant majority and mean they would form the next government. so formulating his team is all about making sure he is well placed to deal with the real financial crisis that he's highlighted in his speech when he was appointed leader on monday.
7:08 pm
and then again, here in downing street when he walked through the door for the 1st time, as prime minister are allen by his l at allen fessor reporting from outside downing street. let's nasty to clyde lewis is a british labor politician who's been the member of parliament for an orange south . he was also a candidate for leader of the labor party in the 2020 leadership election. he's joining us from london. welcome to al jazeera. let me get your initial thoughts on, on the appointments that have been made and announced so far by the new prime minister she soon i i think some of them rather expected i think is one of your former commentators explained. jeremy han really did need to be kept in place because of the potential for, you know, for more economic disruption. so might on the markets and i think, you know, whatever, i think those markets, whatever, i think it is government, that's something that you can understand and empathize way. that's why we should act as we as kept mister hands on as chance of the exchequer. i think and other appointments i know look is quite clear. but what he's trying to do here is build
7:09 pm
a cabinet of all of the wings of the party. and there are a number of wings, the conservative party number of interest groups. and he's going to have to juggle that. i think most people who have an understanding of history of conservative party history know that when they push the self destruct button, it's very difficult to um, push it. and i think there are many cars that have been paid here who think that he will struggle in the coming weeks a month to keep the conservative party under control, as has happened throughout political history. so he's trying, he's best to start off on the right, on a very different putting police trust. what do you, my, why, why do you, why do you think that he'll struggle to keep the party under control? what are you basing not on. i mean, you have to look at history. if you look at the different competing interest groups, the, the many budget that they trust, the dissolved as many budget and their car, they caught thing. and they trust is still supported by a big section that the underlying trickle down principles. the free market
7:10 pm
fundamentalism that it was a spouse in that dissolved as many budget. there were the big proportion of the conservative party that we had. what i would like to see should that go down a similar path. if he's going to go down more, john sony and those of k to ethan in terms of spending, they're still going to be problems that if you go down the path of prosperity, $2.00, you have a large number of n p one. they're seeking 2019 from the so called puma reg, whoa, who want investment spending? their voters are not wealthy people. they need services. and if this company is now going to turn around and say, thanks me about the 2019 thanks. voting, the brakes it but hey, come another round of cars. i don't think it's gonna go down to well with those m p . so he's got a little competing interest and it be if a competing interest don't fail to protect it. don't fail that their interest looked doubtful by re she's soon act, then they will become agitated. and as i said, that selfish drop will be pushed. so he's trying to initially, he's trying to ensure that he has the wings of the party in place and that they
7:11 pm
will have to stay around that table. and so look at the bigger picture here for a 2nd. it's been for just turbulent time in the u. k, are you hopeful at least that now there could be some sense of stability and will he manage to get that unity that he spoke off earlier on today will be see from my point of view as a member of member this parliament, excuse me. and this country i want to see stability, but the problem is what's going on? is it simply down to the personalities or the handling of the conservative party? some of the structural the u. k. has one of the worst performing g 7 economies in the g 7 that party low productivity, low pay, low, low levels of investment compared to many of us being competitors. and also as well
7:12 pm
. a government refused. it has a few so many years to countenance working in partnership with business to try and for example, tackle the climate christ and so all yes, they've moved in that direction in some ways, but no, i'm anyway near the scale that they should be. so that economy were not performing is what we could. secondly, our democracy in this country is, i'm afraid, antiquated is coming upon the seems, you know, the fact that we're now on the 3rd prime minister as many as the money isn't just because of the psycho drama of the conservative party also comes down to the fact that democracy in this country it's boss, is boss, be undermined by the fact that we have voting system the any other country in and europe has that. it's been a ruse. we have no proportionality and voting system. millions of people's boats actually count for nothing. we have an unelected 2nd chamber. we have a united kingdom, that's frank mentee, because it's such a highly centralized state based on the 19th century model. you know, there are
7:13 pm
a number of things in this country democratically and constitution that needs fixing and economically. so richie problems are just the conservative party on just the rudy nature of many of these n p. compete the interest, as i mentioned, they're also structural issues around the economy. and the democracy in the constitution is country which back that which breaks it at blog also as well. company wide open. so he has a lot he play. i want to see stable government by the way, the stable government, i would have thought, rather than allowing northpoint. no, no, no 8 percent of the electorate. i. the parliamentary, conservative party shooting the prime minister would have been without a british people to have a general action and she's the prime minister accordingly. all right, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much clever for speaking to us from london. the well, it's a task being described as a challenge for generations rebuilding ukraine after russia's invasion. your
7:14 pm
leaders are meeting in germany to lay out what's being called a new marshal plan. germany, chancellor says the reconstruction will require combined international strength, its estimated will cost at least $200000000000.00 to repair the infrastructure. and in the early days of freshman's invasion of ukraine or p and became a symbol of resistance. and now as the, how much am june reports reconstruction efforts are underway to bring life back to the heavily damage city. here in iraq pin which sits just outside keith 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 complex is 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
7:15 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 use those though, we expect that if we find funding, then by spring or summer, some restoration work will begin and be 2024, we would likely come back here to live. the costs of repairing the damage to ukraine's infrastructure has been estimated by the keys 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 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 betsy mosley was delivered in the list that we came back because he wanted to be in our home. thanks. hi, authorities,
7:16 pm
we are slowly getting prepared and we're trying to live and we hope everything will be rebuilt soon. yeah, no problem if there's a 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 concise, still heads on al jazeera prospects for peace negotiator cindy, ethiopian government, and the tiguan region agree to hold. tar. ah, generals are held an occupied west banker palestinians killed during res bye is with anticipation is rising. and so
7:17 pm
with most of my cattle aways come with me as we go through your weather update across asia, as a much dryer picture for south asia, say for a few showers across the mall div entry longer. and we did have that tropical cyclone roll through bangladesh, but it has broken apart just a few remnants up against the foothills of the himalayas. so this is certainly some good news to dry off here, including dr with a high of 30 degrees. still a what pitcher across vietnam, but it's now more central and southern areas. so from da nang right through to her, cham in city on wednesday, this east of the philippines will likely cook up into something. we'll continue to keep tabs on that. and i got to tell you indonesia as main island of java central java. i think the very real risk of seen some flooding here dark of the color. the more intense the rain will be falling on wednesday. some showers have been sliding across the yellow river valley, the gang cbre valley that's brought down temperatures, but still south of that were in the thirty's. in grey lin,
7:18 pm
with the high 32 decrease on wednesday. some frosts alerts for japan's main island of han shoot northern parts. we've had clear skies there, light winds, and those blustery winds that we're around tokyo, bulk of that is now out over the open water. or in this weather report in pakistan . it's a nice stay in karachi, plenty of sun with a height of 36 degrees or soon take care. ah, the weather sponsored by cattle. there was a, a, a a
7:19 pm
oh, hello again, the top, stoles, on the altar on the al jazeera, the sour. some mistakes were made. the british foreign minister richie sooner has made key appointments. jeremy hans will continue as finance minister dominic horrible service. just a secretary on deputy prime minister. germany is hosting a conference on rebuilding ukraine after rushes invasion. the commissions president and sat attacks on infrastructure or acts of terrorism. it's estimated reconstruction will cost at least $200000000.00 protests to resent to don our marketing, the one year anniversary of a military takeover in which prime minister, abdullah ham doc,
7:20 pm
was deposed. it whole took the democratic transition following the overthrow of wal mart and bashir in 2019. at least 40 protesters have been injured. sudanese authorities ordered all public institutions on businesses shot ahead of those demonstrations. hippa morgan is at one such demonstration, in cartoon, protest this are out of 3. once again, it's a dance gap itself out to their market. the 1st anniversary of the military takeover last year, which ended, we had transitional government that was meant to be done to democracy and to election. now, these kinds of protests have been happening on a weekly basis here in the capital with demonstrators demanding the military handled power to the billing government. be removed from the dance politics and returned to the barracks. at least 118 protesters have been killed in anti military demonstrations when security forces use your guys and lab amunition. i'm hundreds of others have been injured by that has not stopped the process. the movement with going straight to think they will continue to voice their anger against the
7:21 pm
military and continued demanding a civilian government. now the african union be nice at nations mission here, incident and the regional body. i guys have been trying to broker an agreement between the political parties and the military. in july, the military said that it could be stepping away from those dogs to play with what the political parties do reach their own contented and form. is that really let government, what is phone? what will be called the higher council of the armed forces. but that has got to pull down the protest movement. people have been demanding that the military completely step aside, while political parties for it was did really that government beckman ensure that sudan is once again on its back to democratic transition b, ethiopian government, and rebels. and the northern te dry region have begun talks in south africa. these are the 1st formal negotiations since war broke out 2 years ago. the african union is mediating the discussions. the meeting comes after fighting broke out again at the end of august ending a truce from each. miller says it's been
7:22 pm
a difficult process. getting the talks under way hasn't been easy getting the relevant parties around the table. just given the tensions in ethiopia and the extent of the the, the war that's been going on for 2 years now. or we know at least 7 delegates from the tpr left, as well as the if you can, federal government are attending these talks mediated by the informer nigerian president on a 2nd passenger, as well as the former canyon president who kinyata as well as a south african representative, the former deputy deputy presidents, i think this has to, this is key as well in terms of a lack of bias and the intervention that they're looking for. because they have been some concerns around who has what to say their interests in this, given the volatility that's arisen around the horn of africa. now these talks are expected to go on until at least a sunday. we haven't heard anything particularly encouraging,
7:23 pm
but it has been shrouded in secretary secrecy rather perhaps talking to the sensitivity of the issue. and also some of the security concerns from the to grands who are attending a funeral procession has been held for palestinians killed during and is really army raid in the occupied westbank. a prominent leader of the on the group lines done was among the victims is really military entered, nablus on monday night sparkling protests. at least 5 people were killed in the city. and another palestinian was killed near at arm ala with him was at the funeral. we are here now with palestinian a occupied westbank. had one
7:24 pm
say that we've seen palestinians in one day. i bought them out of here. and as you can see, that procession is going on and we're seeing people have palestinians who are killed. one of them is what do you and how are very i, i've known as one of the need. there's a lot of popularity lately because palestinian with mobilized by themselves in the past feel with by the palestinian
7:25 pm
authority a be engaged with the for 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 the state of the board, there has been a wave of support for the palestinians who are taking up arms and fighting the israeli occupation. bernard smith is in west jerusalem with more on the is really reaction. we've been told that it was prime minister yal appeared 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
7:26 pm
for several days on what 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 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 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 really security services. the view here is wanted 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
7:27 pm
helpful. to yale appeared antibody guns. 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 come back 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 or climate change is making heat, waves longer, stronger, and more frequent. that's according to a un report that says children from poor communities are most at risk because they life lack access to clean water, shelter, air conditioning, and health care. the report says, services should be better adapted for a warming climate. about 559000000 children worldwide are exposed to high temperatures. by 2050, the report says nearly every child on earth that's more than 2000000000. will be
7:28 pm
exposed to heat waves more frequently. because rece as a climate and environment specialists, unicef, he explains why heat waves are the most urgent concern of the climate crisis. the full magnitude of the waves is right around the corner compared to a lot of the other climate and environmental hazards that were, that might take a little bit longer to reach their worst. further away from the equator, the polls are actually going to see the largest change in the largest relative change. so the biggest swing, and he will happen in the northern hemisphere, for example, in europe and north america. and whereas in around the equator, areas that are or are already hot will get hotter, but some of the biggest changes will happen in northern hemisphere. and i think it's important to note that those changes affect ecosystems. they affect food supplies. and so, and even if it isn't as hot in the northern hemisphere compared to the equator,
7:29 pm
disrupted systems and infrastructure that's not capable of managing the full effect of the crisis will be negatively affected. and this will affect children very directly back their health, their access to water and sanitation, their access to education. children have even in an extreme heat environment going to school is difficult. being able to concentrate and learn becomes a challenge. and these are just, in addition to the health related impacts which, which are severe as well filed high concert, rang his line for bangladesh, bringing high winds and heavy storm surges. at least 11 people have been killed, official fear, the toll will continue to rise after hitting the low lying and densely populated coastline of shoes had gone. verizon. hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from our cities, including dhaka, convert, child re, has more from clock us off on bangladesh and south west coastline. the damage from
7:30 pm
cycle and centering has been minimum, partly because of early warning and massive evacuation of people from the coastal areas to cycle and shelters. although at least 10000 homes been damage. $6000.00 farmlands, crops i've been damaged, and thousands of actors are fish hatchery is also a damage. we also saw a lot of electric poles and towers been damaged, at least, according to government sources. more than 2000 electric towers been damaged. there's no electricity in fort kelley, in bori shall division, and many other places of bangladesh because of the impact of psych loan bangladesh is used to climate change. and cy clone every year, there is cycle and warning. many of them are not as intense salvage operation is still on. we want to know the full extent of the damage, at least for the next few days because a lot of this coastal islands.
