another you case, new prime minister, richie sue neck has bound to quote, fixed the mistakes of his predecessor and said economic stability is a priority. is named is cabinets and warned of tough decisions ahead, full brennan report pretty soon at kids, britain, 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 predecessor list truss 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 to restore trust this government. c will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level. trust is earned and i will earn yours on the 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 lie ahead. thank you. soon acts elevation to 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 the matters. it matters and from the european commission chief version of on the land. we count on 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. soon i could promise to unite all the talents of the conservative party and not just give jumps to his allies. his 1st ministerial appointments also emphasized continuity. jeremy hunt to stay as the finance minister. james cleverly retains his post as foreign secretary and sewell, a problem, and returns his home secretary, stability, and confidence. it seems to replace turbulence and division holborn,

and i'll just 0 downing street or just hours before richie soon. i officially became prime minister more data from the u. k. office for national statistics, underscored just how challenging the job is going to be. it shows nearly half of all adults in the country who pay energy bills are finding it hard to afford them. 30 percent of people paying rent or mortgages are also struggling, adding extra pressure on households. the cost of everyday grocery items has gone up 17 percent in the past year. the price of cooking oil is shut up by 65 percent past the 60 percent. and the cost of britain's staple hot drink tea has risen 46 percent or johnson ports is a professor of economics. the king's call is london. he says, the markets reaction to reissue next appointment might be a good indicator of things to come. i think the big question for him though, is whether he tries to also introduce significant

spending cuts. now this would, that was please the markets, but it would also in, you know, be given that we've had 12 years now our spending restraint, which is had pretty nasty economic and social consequences for new k. it would be a big mistake in some respects, and particularly this issue. as you said, low income households you're facing very shar, rises in the cost of essential goods. mr. soon that when he was still chancellor pledge, you may that benefit low income households will be operated in mind with inflation . there's been some speculation that he plans to break that promise and coughing if it in real terms low income households. and i think that would that very quickly, right, you know, that was close and very large economic and social problems in the short run over the longer term. the big challenge to face is,

is that lisa ross was actually asking the right questions. although she had the wrong answers, she pointed out that 12 years of conservative government had delivered low grade, low productivity, low growth in real, right. yes. and hadn't really been a great success from economic perspective. the question is, what is mr unit going to do to restore or the median? tar. ah, how it's being cold, a challenge for generations rebuilding ukraine off to russia's invasion. you leaders have been meeting in germany to lay out a plan for reconstruction, which will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. stevenson has more from bowling, a plea for a 21st century marshall plan for ukraine. similar to what do you and i did state to design, to rebuild western europe after world war 2. it's a sure this will not miss. the destruction is measurable. the suffering of the country is great. estimates of extent to the damage very widely. it's probably

already many hundreds of billions of euros in the medium term. however, the issue will be reconstruction for destroyed, houses and roads will have to be rebuilt. factories repaired with fever. this is a task for generations to kona of gov. of your president followed him as a lensky addressing the conference from keith. urge countries on don us to stick to the promises national fostering covering while our 1st recovery plan is $17000000000.00 for critical immediate or construction of is a hospital schools, vital transport, an amateur infrastructure. it is necessary to give people a new base for life already. now we have not yet received a single sent for the implementation of the foster recovery plan. i urge you to soon make the necessary decisions, the u. s. and e, you have each said they will pay ukraine $1500000000.00 a month to keep the country running, but to rebuild ukraine a lot more is needed. the main question here in berlin is, who will finance

a reconstruction of ukraine? since the start of the war, the united states has spent billions of dollars mostly for military assistance. now there's a lot of pressure on the european union to deliver. we know how difficult the economic situation is for europeans and americans. high inflation, high energy costs, high cost of living costs. this is where leadership comes in. this is where our political leaders have to have a very honest conversation with their citizens. and the message for me, for this conferences, the cost of, of helping ukraine now is, is small in comparison to if ukraine fails to him to russia, invaded ukraine, an estimated $300000000000.00 of russian assets have been frozen worldwide. the u has been looking into legal ways to confiscate these assets, so they can be used to rebuild ukraine. but experts say there may be too many legal and little obstacles for this to happen. step, fasten al jazeera,

berlin. a. russia has taken its accusation that ukraine is preparing to use the so called dirty bomb to the united nations security council. representative from moscow expressed their concerns in a closed door meeting, but they have not provided any evidence diplomatic edits. james base reports from un headquarters in new york. russia is doubling down on its claims that ukraine might be about to use a dirty bomb. that's radioactive material, mixed together with conventional explosives. they took the issue to the security council where there was a close meeting. afterwards, the deputy russian ambassador spoke to reporters, we think is a very serious sir. danger, serious threats. ukraine has the capacity you count, your korean has all the reasons to do so. because we know that students, katie zim wants to awards. first of all defeats secondly wants to enroll for nato, for their act, ah, flesh with russia,

which is very dangerous. and what, which will be profitable force and ask it is him to remain in power. western diplomats were dismissive about the russian claims. they're off for 3 meetings this week. we've had one, we have another one, the bar logical, and the 3rd one to explain why they refuse to accept an inspection from the un about the drones that we have seen coming from the wrong. so it's completely wasting our time and it's misinformation. and it should stop. meanwhile, ukrainian government has invited in inspectors for the international atomic energy agency. in the coming days, they will visit 2 sites in the country. or these european government and rebels from the northern te gray region have begun talks in south africa. they are the 1st form on negotiations since war broke out. 2 years ago. discussions are bring facilitated by nigeria, former president or less, a gunner was son, joe, and kenya's hulu. kenyata. the meeting comes after fighting broke out again at the

end of august, ending a truce for me. the miller says it's been a difficult process. getting the talks on the wait 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. we know at least 7 delegates from the t l. f. as well as the, if you can federal government are attending these talks mediated by the former nigerian president on a 2nd of a sunday as well as the former canyon president who are a kenyatta as well as a south african representative. the former deputy deputy president, and i think this has to, this is key as well in terms of our lack of bias and the intervention that they're looking for. because they have been some concerns around who has what to say their interest in this, given the volatility that's arisen around the horn of africa. now these talks are

expected to go on until at least sunday. we haven't heard anything particularly encouraging, but it has been shrouded in secretary, a secrecy rather perhaps talking to the sensitivity of the issue and also some of the concern security concerns from the to grands who are attending a still ahead on i just said why, brazil's agricultural sector is playing a key role and it's presidential election. thank you to pennsylvania, why democrats and republicans are square and often a key race that could decide the future of the u. s. senate. ah. can you believe the mighty mississippi is in drought in places? so this, this change of weather type across the hall, the u. s. in canada is probably welcome has brought a lot of rain in

a big drop in temperature, from many places across the plains, states. now head of it is still quite warm, but often wet take for example, new york, behind it attempts is dropped a good 10 degrees back to where it should be. we saw snow brow. i think you place like minnesota sent me across the border into canada. you see attempts to back down to where they should be 3 when they pick what bit below where it should be. and that's true all the way back to the pacific coast in both canada and the u. s. was snow now falling on the rockies is cotton down now in the southern plain states and tempt you again to come down to where they should be. she will to come down to there is heavy rain still to be found a bit to the south of that thinking of hispanic in puerto rico. and the small i was the mediterranean getting dangerously close to persistent rain rather than big sharon. that's true in northern columbia. back to costa rica and panama. it's also true and spring light rather developing in brazil big showers, or down to what, salvador, a bit of a gap through rio. and then you pick it up for the south, which includes uruguay and parts of argentina. that does look particularly stormy

in the next day or 2. the france once had a vast empire spanning several continents, but by the 1914, the french were forced to confront reality, a demand for independence. and if us to the documentary series out there looks at how the colonial unrest through conflict and jury a full scale war and indo china blood and his french, the colonization on al jazeera, ah ah,

ah, hello again, you're watching. i just a reminder of our top story to sound you. case new prime minister receives tonight has officially taken office and vowed to fix the mistakes of his predecessor, jeremy hunt will continue as finance miss that was so well a problem and will return as home secretary. germany is hosting a conference on rebuilding ukraine after rushes invasion. its estimated reconstruction will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. the open government and rebels from the northern region have begun talks in south africa. the 1st 4 months ago she ation. since the war broke out 2 years ago, it is one of the most highly anticipated debates in the u. s. midterm election campaign, democrat john settlement and republican amendment, also known as dr. laws, are in a fierce contest for the senate seat from pennsylvania. the state could decide

control of the chamber and the future of president biden's agenda. let's go live now to christian salumi, who is in harrisburg, pennsylvania for so christian where things stand right now with these 2 candidates going into the debate. well this is an increasingly tight race here in pennsylvania. as we wait for the debate to get underway and the tv station behind me here. we have 2 candidates who are talking about issues that are being talked about all around the country by democrats and republicans. on the democratic side, there's a concern about abortion rights. on the republican side, there is concern about inflation, but here in pennsylvania you've got 2 larger than life candidates. and i'm looking because i think one is about to walk in to the venue behind me. but we will keep an

eye on that, and the democrat in this race is the lieutenant governor of pennsylvania, man, by the name of john fedor, men who is quite literally a towering figure in pennsylvania politics. he stands at over 2 meters tall. he's known for his tattoos and wearing a hooded sweat shirts on the campaign trail. he's considered a straight talker in every man, and until as recently as august, he held a double digit lead in the polls here in pennsylvania. but his opponent, republican, ma'am, at oz, a former heart surgeon turned television personality has been inching closer and closer to him. despite fetter men's attempts to paint him as an out of touch person with loose ties to the state of pennsylvania. nonetheless, he is dr. eyes that are supported by former republican president, donald trump, and he has been not only harping on rising of inflation in crime and

pennsylvania is state capital issues that republicans have been harping on all over the country. he is also raising questions about john fetter, men's fitness for the office. and that is because fetter men suffered astray back in may and had some issues. at 1st with speaking, he has been getting better, he says and has put out a note from his doctor saying that he is fit for office. but we're going to see him live and unscripted answering questions with the assistance of a technical device that spells out the questions for him in writing. so this is a very important night for both of the candidates. i and for john ferryman, in particular being put to the test after i unfortunately suffering that stroke. so christian, why does pennsylvania matt to white? why is this race so important for the midterm?

well, the midterms are all about control of congress. that's exactly what's at stake. and in the senate race, the ability of the president to pass laws and get his agenda through the senate is what's at stake. you've got an evenly divided senate, 50 republicans, 50 democrats. but right now, the vice president can cast a tie, breaking vote in favor of the democrats. so a number of close races. there are a number of close races around the country that could sway the makeup of the sand at one way or the other. it's not uncommon for the party in power to lose seeds during a midterm election. this seed is one that democrats were hoping to gain as it is being vacated by a republican senator, who, by the way, was one of only 7 republicans to vote to impeach president trump on grounds of

insurrection. so, democrats were hoping to pick up this seed while there are so many tightly contested ones around the country. all right, kristen, thanks for that. kristen salumi live for us in harrisburg, pennsylvania, where that's a key centered royce, is taking place. our funeral procession has been held for palestinians killed during an israeli army right in the occupied west bank. prominent leader of the on group lyons then was among the victims and he's able to him has more from nablus. these people don't want to believe that palestinian fight they were, the howard is dead. but he died from his wounds after israeli forces targeted him in the city of nablus, north of the occupied westbank. 5 other palestinians were also killed by israeli forces. turning tuesday into the worst night of violence in the occupied westbank in years. one of the bodies being taken out of the area was burnt after really for
