8:06 pm
all. but clearly, richey, senate wants to put his own stamp on the government. and if you take the 4 big offices of state, which are the foreign office, the treasury, chancellor of the exchequer, is known here, interior the home secretary and defense. he's opted to, to try and, and, and inject a level of stability. so a jeremy hunt will see his chancellor, the exchequer, that was largely expected at russia to not realizes that the country is in a real deep economic crisis. he doesn't want to spook the markets changing chancellor again, so soon would have been an issue. he doesn't have that same problem with home. secretary, as you say, grant chaps is out after just $66.00 days. he was appointed in the final days of liz's trust. as premier ship he as replaced by swell, a braverman who was initially the home secretary, the interior minister under las trust and, and resigned. i. it did saying that this trust wasn't up to the jobs so she has
8:07 pm
been rewarded with that. a james cleverly stays as foreign secretary at he he was thought to be at risk because he was a big supporter of boris johnson saying on sunday he thought he could stage a political resurrection. but he's currently doing a very good job as foreign minister and getting to know the faces at various places around the world was at the united nations general assembly just a few weeks ago in new york. and he will stay and not roland ben wallace, who was defense secretary under both bought his johnson unless trust stays in defense. one of the other big affairs of state at big offices of state, a petty morton who of course, at the very last minute decided not to run for the leadership of the conservative party. probably because she didn't have the 100 m p 's to support her. she was hoping to get the foreign office that hasn't happened. she stays eyes of the leader of the house of commons, which is essentially the cabinet minister who's a given the job of making sure that the governments legislation can get through.
8:08 pm
and that will be an important job. under richie, soon as he realizes that there has to be changes, the have to be real efforts in the 1st few months in office because people are suffering with the highest inflation in more than 40 years. here in the the u. k. energy bills are about to start dropping through letter boxes and they will be getting bigger and bigger. as the winter goes, people are going to struggle to pay their bills and also the cost of living crisis with him. if they, if people are just finding it harder to make ends meet. so for all of those reasons, he's got to get his team in place and get his plan moving as quickly as possible. he says he would like to win people's trust, but he's got to do that very quickly. and he's got to make sure that the conservative party is behind him because essentially dissension and the ranks at lead waste to the last 2 prime ministers. he is hoping that the party will come together because with about 2 years to the next general election, he's got to make an impact, or else the conservatives could face an electoral white boat at the next general
8:09 pm
election. thank you so much. alan fisher or climb lewis is a british labor policies and has been a member of parliament since 2015. he says are assisting, act faces and difficult balancing act with the different factions of the conservative party. the many budget that they trust the disasters many budget and cause they call the bank and trust put forward is still supported by a big section the, the underlying trickle down principles. the free market fundamentalism. and that was a spouse that disastrous many budget. there are the big portion of the conservative party that we had work and would like to see we should go down payment upon. if he's going to go down to more june 30th of cake and eat it in terms of spending, they're still going to be problems that if he goes down the path of $32.00, he has a large number of n p. the one that i see in 2019, from the so called the red bull who want investment spending, their voters are not wealthy people. they need public services. and if this company is now going to turn around and say,
8:10 pm
thank you vote in 2019 thanks to voting the greg. the hey, come another round, the cup. i don't think it's going to dance. you well, we those n p to get a lot of competing interests and to be competing interest. don't fail to protect it, don't fail, but their interest to be looked doubtful by re she's tonight, 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 will have to stay around the table. the it's a task being described as a challenge for generations rebuilding ukraine after russia's invasion. the leaders are meeting in germany to lay out what's being called a new marshal plan. germany's chancellor says the reconstruction will require combined international strength. it's estimated, it will cost at least $200000000000.00 to repair the infrastructure. step boston
8:11 pm
has 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 a fraction of it has already been paid in his address through video link to the conference from key if president landscape basically complains that from this fast recovery fund that they have established in ukraine, there 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 $350000000000.00 us dollar is needed by this price. this costs are
8:12 pm
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 is saying that they want to step up because ukraine is a candidate member for the european union. so this whole 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. now, in the early days of russia's invasion of ukraine or pin became a symbol of resistance. and now as well, how much of job reports reconstruction efforts are underway to bring life back to the heavily damaged city. here, an era pin which sits just outside keys and stands as
8:13 pm
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 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 though, 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 keep school of economics to be nearly $200000000000.00. now,
8:14 pm
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 in the list that we came back because he wanted to be in our home. thanks. hi, authorities. we are slowly getting prepared and we're trying to live and we hope everything will be rebuilt soon. yeah, no problem of there's a problem with 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 as esther since the dawn,

8:26 pm
damaged. there's no electricity in 4 door, cully in body shall division, and many other places of bangladesh because of the impact of psych loan bangladesh is used to climate change. and sy, 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 are inaccessible. communication network has been down, so it will take at least a week are few days before we have the full knowledge about actual impact of this cycling climate change is making heat, waves longer, stronger, and more frequent. that's according to a un report that says children from poorer communities are most at risk because they like access to clean water, shelter, air conditioning,
8:27 pm
and health care. the report says, services should be better adapted for a warming climate. about 559000000 children worldwide are exposed to high temperatures. the report says by 2015, nearly every child on earth that's more than 2000000000. will be exposed to heat waves more frequently. because shriek is a climate and environment specialist at 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 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,
8:28 pm
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, 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. the us justice department says it has charge to suspect a chinese intelligence officers. washington says they were allegedly involved in a plot to disrupt the federal probe into the chinese tech giant y way. the justice
8:29 pm
