oh, this is t w's from berlin. i remember there's much more news on our website. that's d w dot com. ah, raised in a leftist household, once a member of the liberal democrats, and now britain's next conservative prime minister list trusts, way to the top, was bumpy. bud perseverance, a change of heart about breck said, and her loyalty to boris johnson paid off. trus inherits a country and turmoil, staggering inflation. sluggish growth, and the still reverberating aftershocks of bricks. it. she believes britain's best days are yet to come, but has many in the dark about exactly how she plans to ring in better times. i'm nichol further him. berlin, and this is the day ah, their feet. i give notice that this truss is elected as the leader of the concerned

. all beliefs in freedom, in the ability to control your own life, i will not use them like ask your current and when so i will deliver only energy crisis dealing with people's energy bills. markets. it's gonna be a lot more expensive this year for in the middle of the biggest often crisis the interested ever seen in history and i will deliver on the national health service. this government has no credible plan to actually fix these programs that we will deliver. we will deliver, but we will deliver also on the day a resounding no to chili's new constitution with a progressive draft rejected in a nation wide referendum. we ask, what's next for a country desperate for change? begin when i don't expect any. the things are in. fortunately not working,

the rich are not going to leave power, nor are the poor going to rise any higher. and i think it was a bitter contest. but in the end, the favorites came out on top. lis trust has been elected leader of britain's conservative party and will become the next u. k. prime minister. the announcement follows 2 months of intense campaigning, sparked by the resignation of prime minister boris johnson. truss who is currently the case. foreign minister defeated her rivalry. she's to knock, she'll follow margaret thatcher and to re them made to become britain's 3rd female . premier truss called on her party to rally around her to find the many crises plaguing the country. it's an honor to be elected as leader of the conservative and unionist party. during this leadership campaign,

i campaigned as a conservative and i will govern as a conservative my friends, we need to show that we will deliver over the next 2 years. so she's not even in the post and already seemingly running out of time. the most pressing issue facing her is the rising cost of living in the united kingdom. energy prices and shopping bills are getting more and more expensive. many families are expected to struggle to make ends meet this coming winter trust will also have to settle a series of industrial disputes and tackle foreign policy challenges that include the war in ukraine. and last but not least, implementing bricks it there's not a lot of choice when fiona's making sandwiches for children. but she has to be

really careful when buying food. 5 cost of living have for lap. and everything is so expensive, like the bread, the mill is going up, at least by 5 percent. it's hard when you've got a founding fall, but it's not only food crisis. it bigger concern for her. her energy builds. i will not be ethan mike asked. her car in the winter and to stay the fact that my gas is going to be a lot more expensive. they share that. i'm not sure if i'll be able to afford it up to speed, easy food that doesn't take up too much gas and electric, but how to keep the children warm once colder weather comes, is worrying her even more. we have to wrap up in the house where extra covalent, the winter, instead of putting on the heat in detroit, my full time bounced those to i still seem to struggle life. fiona is a fight, but she fears this coming winter things might be getting even harder for her and

the children to look at this central london hospital. and as a shift is getting underway for the ambulance crews, every day they're bringing in more patients than the emergency room can handle, which are struggling to even get people into the doors of the i a. and we're having to treat them in the back of the ambulance. and some of these time critical illnesses, like strokes and heart attacks are just simply not being seen in time. this leads to waging ambulances sticking up outside the hospital doors in the end endangering people's lives. because of these delays a hospital, we're sitting here unable to answer the 999. cause that are coming in. i personally witness deaths where we have been to someone whom i uphold for chess, fame, and 1215 hours later we turned up to the house and this person is diseased, understaffed, underfunded, and close to breaking down. the professionals are dealing with the crisis of the national health service on a daily basis. we're in the middle of the biggest off in christ espionage have you

ever seen in history. on top of that, this government has no credible plan to actually fix these problems. aaron himself is doubtful whether he'll be able to carry on the job for much long did he out on the beach for many londoners. this means a trip to brighton. but swimmers should think again, on rainy days, raw sewage is being pumped out of this drainage pipe straight into the sea. this is victorian technology. this is a 150 years old. what we're experiencing in this country is a lack of investment in our infrastructure, which means these are being used on a constant regular basis. this happens across the country for years now. he and his fellow activists have been fighting against the water companies responsible for this practice. so far without success, you're surfing with all of the things that come out of paper toilet fee. now you've got sanitary towers, you've got a paper and everything else that goes in with it. i know so you know,

theses as well. raw sewage on britain speeches. this is a nation that has more than one crisis on its hands. looks like las trust is got our work cut out for her and to walk us through how she might go about tackling all these simultaneous crises. i'm pleased to bring and catherine bernard. she's a professor of e u. law and employment law at trinity college at cambridge university, she's also a deputy director of the think tank u. k. in and changing europe. miss bernard, thank you so much for taking the time to be on the day to night with us. list trust is often compared to margaret thatcher. she personally says she doesn't like that comparison and that she's very much her own person. so what kind of a prime minister is she going to be? well, she may say now it's just like to be compared with margaret thatcher that she's gone to a lot of troubles and try to mimic or echo margaret sacha. and it's been very old

throughout the entire contest to have to pretend as for the prime minister's throne . and they both talked to margaret thatcher. it was premise to 50 years ago. they all want to wear the mantle of margaret. and she certainly will follow margaret shoes of she wants to be smooth state tax, cutting conservative as you are opposed to just show the fact that the state needs to have a huge amount of money pumped into it. and this plus the, from the tax cuts, and this is why there's a loss concern on the markets about how she's going to deliver on the progress of cutting taxes. well, and so fixing, for example, the national health service. well, let's talk about how you think she will go about delivering to the british people. she really emphasized that she was going to deliver, deliver, deliver in her acceptance speech. any idea how she plans to do that?

well, is all very well saying delivered, delivered, delivered, but in fact, she's given very, very little away about how she's actually going to do this. at the start of her campaign, she said she couldn't give no hand out to focus on tax. but of course, as the reality of the energy crisis looms, she's now talking about doing something about the energy crisis. but she will tell us what she's going to do. now it's quite clear civil service to be working on a package of measures that they can present to her when she becomes prime minister . and she promises that with the nation will be told what she's going to by the end of the week. but of course, that's only $1.00 cost of the package because she still wants to do tax cuts. the only way this can be delivered is fine. massive government boring. and the levels look up, or it could be pretty substantial, possibly just the pay for the energy crisis. 100000000000. and if you think about

that to pay the fellow skated during that course, the countries $70000000000.00. and so what she needs to spend trying to 50 people with crisis is 30000000000 spent on the game. how does the british public feel about her? because she was voted into the post by some 80000 members of her own party. how does the general public feel about her and her fairly vague approach to all these crises? yeah, the general public is not that warm about her. they think she is somewhat out of touch. and they really don't have much confidence in her ability to deliver in big looking at the figures. told to send brittany, she'll be upgrade to a good primary, 52 percent britain. a you got a, she would be terrible or the whole open. and so there's not a lot of faith in her and the very fact that she is seen as the glory johnson

good thing for policy members who, many of whom say jumps and she'd never have resigned in the 1st place, but not so good for the country because the country clearly is rather suspicious, devoris johnson and his behavior while he was in office paying something people are suspicious about as well is whether or not she will have what it takes to implement brakes that she voted remain in 2016. so what kind of challenges wait heard there, you think? don't many, but 1st and foremost is what to do about northern ireland. if you remember the north approach, coal was agreed between bars jump, alums, the you and the effect the new person cold was to have a boarded on the irish c, essentially separating northern ireland from the rest of great britain. and the

conservatives. and i took them except this trust is been a from, from us to say, this is took you have except the book. and she has been pushing the so called new protocol to columns. it comes through the common below and you go to the loop at the end of october. and this bill essentially rich up the new and the protocol, which is the treaty, which is great with the e. u in good say 2 years ago. and so she is pushing the country on a collision course with the you because the you cannot accept the u. k unit actually breaks its commitments under an international treaty with the client, catherine bernard of trinity college in cambridge university. thank you so much for your time. and your analysis. thank you so much. i to pakistan now we're catastrophic floods have claimed over 1300 lies. aid is on

its way, but can't come soon enough. satellites show the scale of the disaster following a severe drought record. monsoon rains and melting glaciers have left a 3rd of the country. underwater. millions have lost their homes or are warnings of more rain in the north while flood waters rise and the south evacuation efforts are underway. but some people refused to leave their homes and belongings. shelters are bursting at the seams. waterborne diseases are spreading and its women and children affect the most. fami, darby and her 2 children are keeping watch for a doctor who is set to be coming to this campsite. the expectant mother is one of 500 people taking shelter here in punjab province. on the only high ground in the area, at least 5 other pregnant women live here. all of them are desperate. you

said in maple molina, marina. i am 9 months pregnant to get her. where should i go to get medicines when they come and give the wrong medication here at the camp? but in the give medicines for colds and flu? i am weak, there is no one, not even a female doctor of we in pakistan. it's often deemed inappropriate for women to consult male doctors that complicates the situation of around 130000 pregnant women who urgently need care. family does last visit to a doctor was a month ago. she tried to reach the city for help, but failed. so that is a month ago i gone go to the city of the bots, are also under water. how will i go after walking so much in water? my feet are injured because i have slipped many dimes sir. this is my 9th month and i had slipped at what if i had fallen harder?

we should be provided with facilities. he said, these are good as i cooperate, they as im 11 without proper sanitation at the campsite. farm dog can't bear the thought of giving birth here. but as the due date approaches, she knows she needs to get herself prepared. myra hi is an assistant professor of environment and peace studies at the university of notre dame was higher. welcome. good to see you. at least 1300 people debt, millions displaced. billions of dollars in damages. tell us how could it get so bad? so buck is on is the world's 5th most populous gum. she it has a population of 120000000. ok. so for starter electric, give us a sense of the sky and extent of damage and devastation. we're also talking about and this, this is making relief and as to f, a todd over talking about

a lot of infrastructure that has been right down. so it really raised that have been wiped out dams that have broken bridges, that have collapsed to roles that are no longer able to connect places. we're talking about gastro that has been destroyed. and so we're talking here, not just are you know, a couple of hours, buffalo, livestock, what we're talking about people's means and sources of livelihood and the crop damage and devastation. again, it's important to remember that this is an agricultural dependent economy and as is probably well known to you and your listeners, this has been that the trigger has been in dense months. or, you know, we're also talking about shifting one soon baton shifting directions of the muslim . and it's been a couple then with flash floods. just about 2 months ago we saw a massive glacial league outburst flood in northern pakistan. this was just thought of geisha just about a month ago, has also been that

a record reeking heat wave has been recorded in focused on. so it's a combination of such extremes that after, in one case, after previous floods, the government promised new monitoring systems and has been doing so for years. so the could the scale of this disaster, you know, it's a natural disaster. these things happen unfortunately, but could have been reduced. could the damage have been minimized? no, and yes, yes. and so far as reducing destruction goes, i think the questions that any government, any society will ask when um, when a disaster of this scale happens to be the questions that should be asked, what could have been done differently, hopwood even a few more lights had been saved, but again, to do to, to dawn, to the scale that you were outlining for us in your 1st question we're talking about a part of the country being submerged is it's, it's,

it's under water. the daughter area back as long as it own 18000000 hectares. so when we see at heart of the country is under water re talking, we're talking of around $26000000.00 hectares, which is under water. and we're talking about 1300 people who are dead. i mean these are your statistics, right? so, so the scale you spent it out yourself and also that this is a country that just a few weeks diesel, who was, was devoting all its energy and attention in finalizing of $1000000000.00. i am a on lawn. right. and this particular lawn also has to be made sense off against the larger backdrop, which is the countries like pakistan that have such high on that have super high debt service to the tv shows, right. what sort of investment and, and attention are such gun. she's able to give an odd a giving to questions of welfare infrastructure, social infrastructure on climate, on adaptation. thank you so much. my

a hired of notre dame university. ah, celebrations on the street of chili's capital, santiago, chile and voters have overwhelmingly rejected a new constitution. almost 62 percent said no to the progressive draft which was aimed and boosting the rights mostly of women and indigenous groups. the proposed draft would have replaced the constitution adopted during the dictatorship of general august, no chance, and would have turned one of latin america's most conservative countries into one of the world's most progressive societies on paper, at least. but the proposal for many was just too radical and would have recognized the rights of chillies indigenous populations to land and resources, greeting autonomous territories for them. the draft contained universal health care

and the right to quality housing, education, and a good pension. and it would have legalized abortion president gabrielle burridge, had argued the document one of ushered in a new progressive era. and shelly, undeterred by the defeat, he is bound to press ahead with efforts to overhaul the current constitution. if jacob must listen to the voice of the people for not just to day, but in the last intense years, we've lived through one thing, let us not forget why we have come this far. north v. them that malays is still latent monday and we cannot ignore it. look with them, we can order those who have historically supported this transformation process will you come in? must also be self critical of our actions. lemme fiddle clinical chileans have demanded a new opportunity to meet unexcused and we must deliver that to this call. you didn't want a little buddha, the stadium of homer. let's bring in latin america correspondent, you on ramirez,

who is in the chilean capital of santiago following this vote. johan camps were split and campaigning on each side ferocious, but such a resounding rejection of the draft. that was a surprise, wasn't it? it was surprising. it was because actually even though almost every expert than every ball were given, our forecast and the victoria, their rejection of the new constitution, all of them were give, were given a, a 10 percent difference more or less that according to official results, were we seized that there is a gap of more than 20 pounds between the approval and the rejection. so recently, ann arbor, what me know, that and she leon's, set. and last night we saw 2 extreme opposite scenes in the city of santiago, on one hand, long faces and sadness. some older people who supported the new constitution and on

the other hand, we saw party us and celebration among those who supported the rejection of the constitution. there was a clear reflection of how polarized is the contra right now, a women's rights indigenous rights. the right to education it to me that doesn't sound bad at all. what is it that julian's didn't like about the draft? it was a very progressive constitution, actually unfair. some form of the was drafted by an assembly composed are based on gender equality, 50 percent men, 50 percent women. and that was something that we had never seen in the world. and the new constitution wanted also to give rights to nature. but for those who opposed to this new constitution, he wasn't explained how these rights were going to be put into practice. and then it wanted to give rights to indigenous people recognizing 11 at need to groups as different nationalities, giving them the right to govern themselves,

given them the right to even have their own justice systems. and for those who opposed didn't these new constitution, it was a loss of sovereignty for the country. there were also other sensitive issues like reelection, for example, the new constitution wanted to allow presidential reelection and that world that word reelection in latin america has a very bad reputation, especially after the very bad experiences that we have had in some countries such as venezuela tuba or bolivia. all right, so we're into, we go from here. indian people still want to get rid of the old constitution people as the want to get rid of the old constitution. let's remember that all of this process began 2 years ago, back in 2020. when there was a 1st, a referendum were shilling, as they said they wanted a new constitution. so their result of that 1st referendum is still in force. so before the yesterday's a referendum, as politicians were seen,

that the rejection nothin constitutional was a clear possibility. there was a, i kind of fun written deal between the government and opposition parties ought to state that in the case that the new constitutional was to reject that something that now has already happened on this process. the constituent process was a keep going on. now how it is going through to continue, ah, our genius going to forward for a new assembly to draft a new constitution? is this new constitution going to be based on the constitution that was rejected yesterday? or the whole process is going to begin from 0 or left. these questions are still not a clear by what, but what, what is clear is that there is a consensus, a general agreement that the, the process should go on at. so how can the president until also came in as a result of the social movement at united the interests of a younger, more progressive crowd and a segment of the society that is more conservative?

it is going to be complicated. i mean, says the beginning of the process, the president and all the political parties have been, ah, calling for national unity. i. yes, said they, even before the results were announced, that president are called to accept the results and to respect them. and there was also, they called off every political party. now the president is in a weaker positions who wanted to meet at the opposition to their in the presidential palace. but the opposition said no, we are not going to meet today. we'll do it tomorrow because we do tend to think what we want to do next. it shows that he is not in the position to impose his roles. any more. yeah, ramirez in santiago in a chilling can speaking to you. well, the day's almost done, but as always, the conversation continues on line. we're looking forward to hearing from you on twitter, make sure to follow our team under at dw, and myself under at nicole underscore, fred. but for the time being for me and the entire team on the day,
