he is the one of the biggest and most notable upon chickens off his time and in the end, what is he, what will he be leaving? not much. he did get breakfast done in a certain way that was in his slogan during his election campaign in 2019, but it's also still lingering on it's not really done because that of all northern island problem is that carrying on he got into numerous baths, was france, about fishing, about refugees and migrants crossing the channel. and he is not well liked among other european leaders because they have found that he is not trustworthy, that he doesn't keep his word that you can't really trust his straightness, his, his, the way that he nance is a policy. and the way we will then implemented is so he has not many friends and on the international stage, and no tears will be wept for him there. and what will he leave really is the general idea of government in chaos. a government that never really got it together
1:31 pm
that never really managed to, to sort of fit, formulate a policy, something that where we going, how are we going to get there? what we'll be doing that just jumping from puddle to puddle and patching up a problems here and there and difficulties there. and so that is the water gill down for in history. and there barbara, minnesota starts and really now stepping out yet right. audio it is. i do, it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party and that for a new prime minister. and i agree with the growing brady, the chairman of our back bench empties that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. and the time table will be announced next week and died of today appointed a cabinet to as i will until
1:32 pm
a new leader is in place. so i want to say to the millions of people who voted for us in 2019, many of them voting conservative for the 1st time. thank you for that. incredible mandate. the biggest, conservative majority since 1987. the biggest share of the vote. since 1979. and the reason i have fought so hard in the last few days to continue to deliver that mandate in person was not just because i wanted to do so that because i felt it was my job, my duty, my obligation to you to continue to do what we promised in 2019, and of course i am immensely proud of the achievement to this government from getting better done to settling our relations with the continent for over half a century. reclaiming the power for this country to make its own laws in parliament,
1:33 pm
getting asshole through the pandemic delivering the faust is maxine relocked in europe. the fastest exit from locked down. and in the last few months, leading the west in standing up to putins aggression and ukraine. let me now say not to the people of ukraine that i know that we in the u. k. will continue to back your fight for freedom, for as long as it takes. and at the same time, in this country, we've been pushing forward a vast program of investment in infrastructure and skills and technology, the biggest in a century. because if i have one insight into human beings, it is the genius and talent, and enthusiasm and imagination are evenly distributed throughout the population. but opportunity is not, and that's why we must keep leveling up, keep unleashing the potential ev, every part of the united kingdom. and if we can do that in this country,
1:34 pm
we will be the most prosperous in europe. and then the last few days, i've tried to persuade my colleagues that it would be eccentric, to change governments when we're delivering so much. and when we have such a vast mandate and when we're actually only a handful of points behind in the pose, even in mid term after quite a few months of pretty relentless sledging and when the economic scene is so difficult domestically and internationally. and i regret and not to being successful in those arguments. and of course it's painful and not to be able to see through so many ideas and projects myself. but as we seen at westminster, the hud instinct is powerful when the hud moves it moves. and by friends in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. and our brilliant and darwinian system will produce another leader. equally committed to taking this country forward through
1:35 pm
tough times. not just helping families to get through it, but changing and improving the way we do things cutting burdens on businesses and families and yes, cutting taxes because that is the way to generate the growth and the income we need to pay for great public services. and to that new leader, i say whether he or she may be, i say i will give you as much support as i can. and to you, the british public. i know that there will be many people who are relieved. and perhaps quite a few will also be disappointed. and i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. but then the breaks i want to thank carry and our children, all members of my family who have had to put up with so much for so long. i want to thank the peerless british civil service for all the help and support that you have
1:36 pm
given our police, our emergency services and of course are fantastic and a chest who at critical moment helped to extend my own period in office as well as our home services and our agencies that assert mired around the world and are indefatigable conservative party members and supporters who selfless campaigning makes our democracy possible. i want to thank the wonderful staff here at checkers at here, number 10, and of course at checkers. and our fantastic prop force detectives, the one group by the way, and who never leak above all, i want to thank you, the british public for the immense privilege that you have given me. and i want you to know that from now on until the new prime minister is in place, your interests will be served and the government of the country will be carried on
1:37 pm
being prime minister is an education in itself. i've traveled to every part of the united kingdom and in addition to the beauty of all natural world, i find so many people, possessed of such boundless british originality and so willing to tackle old problems in new ways that i know that even if things can sometimes seem dark now. our future together is golden. thank you very much. thank you. forest johnson. i'm talking about the search for a new prime minister. he said a time table will be put together next week. and he also said that you cabinet will rule along with him until and you leader is foul. let's see how that plan. ah pans
1:38 pm
out, let's bring it in. now correspond bob visally, he's been following events for us in london, a defined statement there by bars. johnson, and what did you make of it? i mean, he did remind people and his own party, of course, one more time off this huge election success he had in 2019. it was really image or 80 of 80 parliamentarians, something that had not been seen for decades here in westminster. but as this critic say, he managed to fritter it away in only 3 years. he could have had 2 more years running here, but he has come to the end of his line through a devastating sort of accumulation of scandals through his own personal weaknesses as through constant fibbing and sort of avoiding the truth and to for not getting people. what he was, what just there was just talking about in his statement there,
1:39 pm
the economic success that he had tied to breck said that remains elusive is quite the opposite of bricks. it cost the british economy quite substantially. and so therefore, he couldn't really sort of do what his supposedly main policy was, the, the in famous infamous leveling up bringing the poor and socially weaker north of the country up to london levels up to the success said the wells that the capital enjoys it. that never happened. he never even got it off the ground. and so in the end, he must admit, if only to himself that those 3 years largely had been a failure. yeah, we heard the booze in the back ground outside downing street, one person shouting liar. of the british economy is in a slump. people sound fed up of what, what's the likelihood of johnson now staying on until autumn?
1:40 pm
how likely is that tac? it's not very likely at all because the country is suffering and is, will be undergoing is summer of discontent. people are absolutely afraid of fear. the end of the, the raises in energy prices that are to be expected about around september, and they're going to triple for many poorer and, and 4 of families here in great britain, this is going to be devastating food bank. the use of food bank it food banks has multiplied already throughout the last month. and did written is in, in the ranks of the obesity among the industrialized guns, industrial countries of europe at the bottom of the way below of france and germany and some others even so no, it has not been going well, they are ruling strikes this summer. so there needs to be somebody at the helm who sort of takes
1:41 pm
a grip and tries to steer the ship here what the country does need. and it seems that the conservative party is very aware of this is a long drawn out. agony was boris johnson. and office but not in power, so they will be pushing for leadership contest as soon and as fast as possible. bob, are you often report from brussels? how has the chaos of british politics in recent days? been going down there? it's not count. gone down well at all, particularly at the whole northern ireland saga. i mean, at a time when all countries in europe have economic problems, when everyone is confronted by the war in ukraine and the economic fall out of it. and the, of course, the military problems this is creating and within nato, this whole sort of re orientation of european politics. forrest johnson shows it to sort of try to re open the northern ireland protocol,
1:42 pm
the part of bricks at the bricks of deal that deals with particularly was the, the borders in northern ireland. and everybody in brussels just threw up their hands and said, for heaven's sake, why now don't do this. but that was for a song. and he was also in a way, unpredictable and love to sort of create chaos. a chaos which he thought was creative. but in the end was just chaotic. so no, no tears will be wept for him in brussels. whatsoever, particularly also because he was not seen as a trustworthy partner. somebody you could talk to and him would then keep his word . and therefore, his stepping down a will be probably greeted with a slight sigh, afraid of relief. so far as johnson on his way out. as you heard here on d. w in is breaking news. we've been bringing for you and a new prime minister. the process beginning, but a successor, still elusive fender a long line of would be successes, isn't that true? barbara?
1:43 pm
if very long line. i mean, you look at the papers this morning and all the pictures, look at your sake for heaven's sake. everybody and their aunt wants to be prime minister. you think that there wouldn't be quite so many conservative politicians thinking that they would be fit for hi office. however, i did look at the odds of the, the biggest a british betting for him. and the mean time, and the surprising thing is that i none. the one is a lady, a penny who was called penny martin's not largely known outside of britain. and she's the international trade secretary. she sort of like is central the middle of the road, a conservative, who could probably please all parts except for the rex. it hard line has been all other parts of the country, so called one nation tory and then he is. she is followed by ben wallace, the, the defense minister who has been
1:44 pm
a very strong figure during since the war in ukraine broke out. and then followed by the chancellor, the, the with now step down ex chance love the cherry she soon act. so there are some bigger beasts and some surprises in there. bob hazel reporting for us from london on the resignation of u. k. prime minister parse johnson. thank you and thank you for watching. i'll be back next hour with malware use until then go to our website, d w dot com. okay. how come mikes? how can this passionate hatred of a people be? exclaimed jo, a gold tom? oh, a history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power
1:45 pm
struggles in christian christianity wants to come from it. that is why christianity used the figure of the gym as any terra. it's a history of slender of hatred and violence. a 3rd of our people were exterminated $6000000.00 jews, like microbes to be annihilated or even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. semitism this week on d. w. oh, ah. 71000000 people thrust into poverty in a matter of months. that's already one legacy of russia's war in ukraine, according to a new you in report. it says rising food and energy costs as well. scarcity for undermining households around the world. also in the show can india help steer it's
1:46 pm
auto industry toward an electric future. early signs are promising to loan. welcome to the show. i'm seam grinsley, in berlin. 71000000 more people are facing poverty. that's according to a new u. n. study that says is the consequence of soaring food and energy prices unleashed from russia's war and ukraine. households are scrimping charities are scrambling for donations, and families are under pressure in this plantation and been in use. yano. dano is choosing a batch of cooking bananas. at her meal, she will turn them in to plain taint flower, but luckily produce alternative to wheat flour. her little shop has almost doubled its production since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine. i wanna go before the war in ukraine. i produce at least 80 kilos per month. i'm one. but now i produce up to a $150.00 kilos per month when the market is on and one yell unless the war
1:47 pm
quickly aggravated. the dire inequalities already caused by the carving 19 pandemic and climate change over the last couple of years. as a consequence, west africa and many other poor countries are now facing their worst food security crisis. since the start of the ward food programs 0 hunger initiative in 2015 with coal did what we saw is the effects that works with labor markets lock downs and income that was slow and cumulative, but had a very strong impact over time. so the official estimates are about 125000000 people falling into poverty over about 18 months. so what we find right now is that 3 months of inflation have drawn about 71000000 people into poverty. to day more than a 128000000 people are undernourished worldwide. it's 150000000 more than 2021 . it's a die, a reminder of how the rise in inflation and the global disruption of supply chains
1:48 pm
can drive inequalities affecting 100 of 1000000 of poor people around a world held from vit. hska is an agricultural economist at humboldt university in berlin. he joins me for more of food supplies, have been massively hit over the past few months. we've been talking about this since the beginning of the war. can we say whether the situation is getting better or worse? it has gotten worth averse, and it's a matter of both is increasing scarcity on international agriculture, commodity markets, and it's a matter of distribution. and it's a combination of 2 things. one is that the times of plenty, all over in the world agriculture, the world food economy has entered in ear of scarcity. what we've seen since 2000 is that agriculture, commodity prices, and the to rise. and on top of this, we have the war in ukraine,
1:49 pm
which is aggravating things even more in 2000. the price of lead was at $2.50 per bushel before the war. in ukraine, this number had doubled to $5.00 per barrel. and we are no way $8.50. so 3 times more than 3 times what the price of we are on the turn of the millennium. and it's clear that this must have been significant impact on hunger around the world. in my book, we are close to 1000000000 humans. well hungry right now. those are people who have a $1.90 or less per person and they in purchasing power and went to spend 70 or more of them. you got income on food. and what about i clear this must significantly increase hunger around the world. what about efforts to offset some of those aberrations and trade routes that have been caused by the war efforts by n g o z efforts by groups to push more trade to other places even by nation,
1:50 pm
such as brazil, for example, filling in more with wheat, where in where nations like india pull back, is that making any kind of difference in the short term? in the short term, we have indeed the potential to increase food supplies around the world. and one of the most significant sources would be to get ukrainian grain and other agriculture commodities to the world markets for this to actually happen. however, we need at least a ceasefire and in that part of the world. but also the european union has some potential to mobilize additional resources for food crop reduction by discontinuing temporarily the greening program, which acts to take that land out of agriculture, commodity production. on ask you really briefly, is it possible that the rising price of wheat will actually encourage more planting that in the middle term could actually answer some of these problems that may not help in the short term. yes, and that is happening already every year. by,
1:51 pm
on my book we lose 4 and a half 1000000 hectares in natural habitats because of acreage expansion. and these high prices air dramatically increase the incentives for an additional increase of the agriculture in acreage around the globe with dramatic consequences for climate and biodiversity. i want to leave it there, hold on vet scope with our city in berlin. i'm afraid we're going to leave it there . thank you very much. all right, let's go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. the french government will fully nationalize the energy company e d. f. the highly indebted firm has struggled to stay afloat due to a series of costly nuclear reactors shut down. the french state currently already owns 84 percent of the company, which is one of the world's biggest electricity producers. u. s. job openings remain high in may, while vacancies did drop,
1:52 pm
they're made above 11000000 for the month. that points to the possibility the fed will keep pushing interest rates higher to bring inflation down. u. s. inflation is currently close to 9 percent. european lawmakers have voted to consider natural gas and nuclear energy as climate friendly sources within the use labeling system for sustainable financing. bod climate campaigners have criticized move, saying they will challenge it in court. the european union agreed last week to in the sale of traditional combustion engine vehicles by 2035. it's a timeline that's also shared by india, e. v. production is picking up there, so was interest. our next report takes us to the indian city of china. chin i is called india's detroit. i'm a good reason. it's where many of the countries engineers learned their trade and where most of india's autos are built. 25 year old swanner latha ready works as a systems engineer for one of the country's biggest car makers. it's great news for

1:55 pm
charl. what is the market like for electric cars in india right now? well, even though the market is big and india is going all out and big on ease. in fact, according to an estimate is expected this year, this fiscal anywhere between 800002900000 electric vehicles will be sold across the country. that's a big jump as compared to what the situation was didn't until about just 3 to 4 years ago of it, the cars are affordable as well. there's a subsidy. the central government are offered a subsidy and has several plans and several state governments also offer their own subsidies. in fact, just yesterday there was an announcement that the g s t on lithium ion battery has been reduced from 18 percent to 5 percent. so the policies keep getting tweaked to give more and more in peters to the e sector in india. stephen, we know that electric cars are only as green as the electric electricity that they
1:56 pm
run on. what can we say about india's renewables build out? is it running in parallel with its efforts to bring more electric vehicles on the road? well, steve, and unfortunately, that's obama. as far as the ag sector in india is concerned, renewables are not getting up in a big way. or india continues to be largely a call dependent economy anywhere between 70 to 80 percent of india energy needs are met by all. and so that holds true for the electric vehicles segment as well. there are class, there are a lot of discussions at the central level as well as a state govern level to increase the share of renewables in the us energy mix. but those plans are you have to take effect. so effectively, the e sector also largely remains dependent on call the charging stations. infrastructure is still inadequate across the country. but as more and more
1:57 pm
charging stations go up, of the usage of call behind. that is only likely to go up. steven charge, we have a better sense of how important the auto industry could be for india in the years ahead, especially when we look at jobs and economic impact or yes sir stephen are doing a c has always been looked upon as a major job generator in india is a part of the core manufacturing sectors of the indian economy, which gives millions and millions of jobs across the country. and these are various jobs at various levels. these are at the technician levels, as well as at senior management levels as well. the export potential is limited largely to the to wheeler segment, but in that segment, india is the leader in the world. india exports very large number of to wheelers to several markets in africa, in asia and latin america. now with the e v segment, a lot of indian guard makers have taken the lead. and
1:58 pm
a lot of us are being produced in india and the numbers are continuously going up. it remains to be seen whether india will become, become a leading exporter of ease as well. but as of now, the export potential is largely in about 70 to 80 percent of india, auto exports as restricted to the to wheeler segment. steven. alright, the to be correspond charo car to k. joining us from delhi, thank you. that's it for me and the dw business team will be back shortly with more . in the meantime, check us out online. d, w dot com slash business watch conflict zone with parish banner g. russia claims it has captured the new hans region in ukraine's east. is ukraine. losing this war guard rocha is a former us ambassador tomato, and he believes the west should be doing more to support ukraine. but good grants
