4:02 am
the journalist, this is g w news from berlin. i remember there's much more news on our website, but to d, w dot com. ah and raised in a leftist household, once a member of the liberal democrats, and now britain's next conservative prime minister, liz trusts way to the top, was bumpy. bud perseverance, a change of heart about breakfast and her loyalty to boris johnson paid off. truss 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 did notice that this truss is elected as the leader of the concerned
4:03 am
all beliefs in freedom. in the ability to control your own life, i will not be in like aspect current in the winter. 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 energy ever seen in history and i will deliver on the national health service government have no credible plan to actually fix the problem 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 and a nationwide referendum. we ask, what's next for a country desperate for change? even though i know i don't expect it any time. yeah. okay. i'm gonna,
4:04 am
things are unfortunately not working. the rich are not going to leave the power, nor are the poor going to rise any higher. i think it was a bitter contest, but in the end the favorites came out on top. less trust has been elected leader of britons. 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's currently the you case. foreign minister defeated her rivalry. she's to knock, so follow margaret thatcher and to read them made to become britons 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 liza of the conservative and unionist party. during this leadership campaign i
4:05 am
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 this, not a lot of choice when fiona's making sandwiches for children. but she has to be
4:06 am
really careful when buying food. 5 cost of living has gone up. 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 through crisis. it bigger concern for her, her energy bills. i will not be ethan mike asked her car in the winter. and just to the fact that my gas is gonna be a lot more expensive, they share not. i'm not sure if i 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 the colder weather comes, is worrying her even more. we have to wrap up in the house where extra kobe in the winter, instead of putting on the heat in a day trial, my full time. barstow starts to seem to struggle. life for fiona is a fight. but she fears this coming winter things might be getting even harder for
4:07 am
her and the children at the 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. cause of these delays a hospital. we're sitting here unable to answer the 999 calls that are coming in. i personally witness death where we have been to someone who might hold for chest pain and 1215 hours later we turned out to the house. and this person is disease understaffed, underfunded and close to breaking down. these professionals are dealing with the crisis of the national health service on a daily basis. we're in the middle of the biggest often crisis,
4:08 am
piano chest is ever seen in its 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 longer. 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 war to companies responsible for this practice. so fall without success, you're surfing with all of the things that come out of paper toilet. hey, now you've got some 3 towers. you've got a paper and everything else that goes in with it. i know so you know,
4:09 am
vcs as well. raw sewage on britain speeches. this is a nation that has more than one crisis on its hands. looks like list 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 thing tank u. k. in and changing europe. miss bernard, thank you so much for taking the time to be on the day tonight 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, but she's gone to a lot of troubles and try to mimic or echo margaret sacha. and it's been very old
4:10 am
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 the 30 years ago. they all walked away, the mantle of margaret thatcher. and she certainly will follow margaret shoes of. she wants to be smoothed, state tax, cutting conservative as your report just shows. the fact is 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, 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?
4:11 am
well, it's all very well saying deliver, delivered, delivered. but in fact, she's given very, very little away about how she's actually going to do this. still to her campaign, she said she was going to give no handout, she was good to focus on. but of course, as the reality of the energy crisis news, she's now talking about doing something about the energy crisis, but she won't tell us what she's going to do. now it's quite civil service to be working on a package of measures that they can present to her when she becomes pregnant. and she promises that with the they should be told, but 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 by massive government boring and the levels of government, or it could be pretty substantial, possibly just the pay for the energy crisis. 100000000000. and if you think about
4:12 am
about to pay the full scale during the course, the country, $70000000000.00. and so what she needs to spend to 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? yet 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 the looking at the figures, 12 percent britain to be upgrade to a good, 52 percent britain. in a you got a, she would be terrible or whole. and so there's not
4:13 am
a lot of faith in her. and the very fact that she is seen as the board johnson good thing for policy members who many of whom are jumps and should 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 pain. something people are suspicious about as well as whether or not she will have what it takes to implement brakes that she voted for main in 2016. so what kind of challenges wait her there? you think so many, but 1st and foremost is what to do about northern ireland. if you remember the north mount approach, coal was agreed between bars don't alums, the a you, and effect the new person cold was the have a board on the irish c, essentially separating northern ireland from the rest of great britain. and the
4:14 am
conservatives. and this has an, except this trust is from, from the to say this is took out except that she has been pushing the so called new protocol to tell them that it comes through the common and it used to go to the loop at the end of october, and this bill essentially rich the new and the protocol which is been special 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 commitment under an international treaty with the kingdom kind catherine bernard of trinity college in cambridge university. thank you so much for your time and your analysis. thank you so much. the to pakistan now
4:15 am
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,
4:16 am
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 it 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 the one thing that i can't go to the city of the parts are also under water. how will i go after walking so much in water? my feet are injured because i have slipped many dimes. so this is my 9th month and i had slipped at what if i had fallen harder,
4:17 am
we should be provided with facilities? is that these again, as i cooperate, they as m 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 mas higher. welcome. good to see you. at least $1300.00 people debt, millions displaced, billions of dollars in damages. tell us how could it get so bad? so bog, hassan is the world's 5th most populous gum. she it has a population of 120000000 or so for startle electric. give us a sense of the skill and extent of damage and devastation. we're also talking about and this, this is making relief and us through efforts harder. we talking about
4:18 am
a lot of infrastructure that has been right down to it. we're talking about really ways that have been wiped out dams that have broken bridges, that have collapsed roads that are no longer able to connect on places. we're talking about gatorade that has been destroyed and so we're talking here. not just are you know, a couple of hours, buffalo livestock, but 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 money or, you know, we're also talking about shifting once on baton shifting directions of the monsoon and it's been a couple then with flash floods just about 2 months ago we saw a massive glacial league, outpost flood in northern pakistan. this was just litigation just about
4:19 am
a month ago, has also been that a regular drinking 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 i, when a disaster of the scale happen to me, the questions that should be asked, what would have been done differently hub would even a few more lights have been saved, but again, to do to, to don to the scale that you were outlining for us in your 1st question. we're
4:20 am
talking about a part of the country being submerged is it's, it's, it's under water. the daughter area back it's on. is it on $18000000.00 hector's? so when we see out harder, the country is under water. we're talking great. we're talking of around $26000000.00 hectares, which is under water. and we're talking about 1300 people or did 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 ago was, was devoting all its energy and attention in finalizing of $1000000000.00. i am a on lawn, right. and, and, and this particular lawn also has to be made sense off against this larger backdrop, which is the countries like pakistan that have such high on that have super high debt. so is to do tv shows right. what sort of investment and attention are such gun? she's able to give an audio giving to questions of welfare infrastructure, social infrastructure on climate, on adaptation. thank you so much. my
4:21 am
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 at 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
4:22 am
creating autonomous territories. for them. the draft contains universal health care and the right to quality housing education and a good pension and it would have legalized abortion president, gabriel burridge had argued the document one of ushered in a new progressive era and sheely. undeterred by the defeat, he is bound to press ahead with efforts to overhaul the current constitution. if jake must listen to the voice of the people sort of not just to day, but in the last intense years we've lived through with him, let us not forget why we have come this far. north v. them that malays is still latent monday and we cannot ignore it, you know, pull them. we know that those who have historically supported this transformation process will become, must also be self critical of our actions. the name of it, oh, clinical chileans have demanded a new opportunity to meet unexcused and we must live up to this call. you did in one allen, buddha,
4:23 am
the stadium of homer. let's bring in latin america. correspondence deal on ramirez who is in the chilean capital 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 and every ball were given our forecast in the victoria their rejection of the new constitution, all of them were good. 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 under 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,
4:24 am
we saw party us on 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 oppose 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 ethnic groups as different nationalities, giving them the right to govern themselves,
4:25 am
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 had had in some countries such as venezuela tuba or bolivia. all right, so where do we go from here and do people still want to get rid of the old constitution? people are still 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 works shiniest decided they wanted a new constitution. so there result of that 1st referendum is still in force. so before the yesterday's a referendum, as politicians were seen,
4:26 am
that the rejection of the new 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 nucleus additional was rejected. something that now has already happened on this process. the constituent process was a keep going on. now, how it is going through to continuing? ah, our cheating is going to vote for a new assembly to draft a new constitution. is this new constitution going to be based on the constitution that was to reject that yesterday or the whole process is going to begin from 0 or that these questions are still not a clear by the 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?
4:27 am
it is going to be complicated. i mean, since the beginning of the process, the president and all the political parties have been are calling for national unity. i. yes, said they, even before the results were announced, that president are called to accept the result and to respect them. and there was also the call to off every political party now to president is in a weaker positions who wanted to meet 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,
