we have the solutions, the future, a 77 percent every weekend and dw ah ah, this is dw, live from burly mall political chaos in the u. k. as the prime minister announces, she's stepping down after just 6 weeks and all this process she's resigning as leader of the conservative party. but that she'll stay on as prime minister until the success of this class. also coming up and imperialist war of aggression

addressing parliament, germany is chancellor, will have short slammed blood booted and says, russia will not achieve its war aims in ukraine. and peeve tells you cried ukrainians to curb that power usage. as russia steps up, the tax on energy facility with winter approaching, people are being asked to switch off path for much of the day. ah, i'm good. how about us? welcome to the program. the british prime minister liz truss has resigned after just 6 weeks in office or at osman comes after a bruising week of u turns and on economic and energy policy and backlash from own conservative party . today's resignation makes her the shortest serving prime minister. in utah, a district in

a speech outside down in st. troy said she could no longer deliver on the mandate for which she was elected. i came into office at the time of great economic and international instability. families and businesses were worried about how to pay that bills. payton's illegal warn ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent. and all countries have been held back for too long by low economic growth. i was elected by the conservative party with a mandate to change this. i recognized though, given the situation, i cannot deliver the mandates on which i was elected by the conservative party. i have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. we can now crossover too close on a bigger maz in london. or if she's following this story for us. now,

how big it did it come to this for you? yes, that's right. garrett. another day of drama here in downing street under the world media is just wowing because larry, the cat thumb was got his own instagram and twitter account has just appeared beside me. but larry is not the main style of the show here. it's really the drama that's been taking place in downing street with this trust resigning off to just 6 weeks of being prime minister and is the result of deep division within her party. say she presides of a 2 wings of the conservative party, one like more moderate ring ab, broadly pro european and then a more elaborate, libertarian and broadly, anti european wing and other people on the right of them, how to have dominated of late. they made sure that written left the european union with just a bab burns tray deal and they were the ones who also stand behind this trust who

is on the right of the party. and she tried to get through a budget with very much aggressive tax cuts, which she, somebody who's standing for was shrinking off the state. but she caused chaos in the financial markets. and that then triggered more chaos within how partying. at the moment, she doesn't have the authority, she had considered that there are not there enough empirical respect her for how to be able to go on as legal. a bigger was about to ask you wearable the government go from here. but 1st time i saw you had a just read the times reported that boris johnson is considering a come back and that he will throws hat in the ring. i mean, really that would be quite extraordinary. i mean, it has been whispered, basically behind closed doors. that may be, boris johnson could try and are come back and some of his allies, the former cultural secretary, nadine dowries. she's always argued that he was the one who basically won

a huge majority in parliament. he won the election this trust in when it, she, ah, was elected as prime minister, but just by the party. so not by the people say, there would be an argument that at least boys johnson was the one who was elected. but it would cost a lot of time. i'll again, here in the u. k. i mean, many people really hated him. i. he was somebody who had to basically go in disgrace. so it will be quite something if he came back. other people are who might be, who might be coming here. we don't have a lot of names confirmed yet. the leader of the house of commons are penny maud and i said she would run, she's more a centrist and then we have the former home secretary, i'm who is reported to be thinking about it, but it hasn't been confirmed and swallow braverman. she resigned yesterday and she's more to the right of the party. i will be difficult to find the candidate who can really unite this dis, united party. so this not going to be an easy way from here. now the cold for

a new general election are getting louder and louder, understandably, jumper conservatives in good faith, really ignore these calls. this is what the labor party and the liberal democrats, the opposition parties are arguing. they're saying the conservatives can't really treat the country as their fif them and that only a general election can basically i lead the country out out of the misery because what we're seeing is the conservative party, our in our, to chaos. it's really imploding on itself. so it will be very, very difficult for them to argue that they can just, if between themselves elect another prime minister and, and that all will be fine. so there will be a lot of up station and i think o, so many people i've tried to speak to some people out here on the street and, and around downing street. and you know, there is a frustration with about what's happening here at the country is i with the, in the middle of an enormous cost of living prices, where many people are really,

are struggling economically. they're struggling with the heating on to put food on the table for the children, say in that situation to just go on and, and try out another prime minister is going to be very, very difficult for them morally to argue that r u k. correspond big mass in london there. thank you. big it earlier in germany. chance that will of shorts has given a key policy statement to parliament ahead of the summit of a you leaders in brussels is address touched on issues facing germany and europe in light of the war and ukraine. but while sholtes voiced germany's unwavering commitment to keep some say, the government could be doing all when all our sholtes took center stage and the bonus tag, he spoke in front of the german parliament. but his message was directed toward a wider audience. but worcester anglophone of deliberate attacks against civilians,

a war crimes, almost glass, was that even this scorched earth tactic won't help russia when the war that missed her from the increase were given. it will only strengthen the resolve and perseverance of ukraine and his partners. ukraine will successfully defend himself and will support it as long as necessary, afforded a message. a majority of parliamentarians in the bonus tag agree with in fact, many here believe germany should do even more. of course, the chancellor and the government has so the full support from the opposition parties in order to strengthen the european ability to act both in supporting the ukraine and in tackling the energy crisis. but the speech of the chancellor was quiet. i'm inspired and an emotional we could do more and we should deliver concrete answers. i'm quite confident that are, that ukraine is receiving a lot of, of our weapons or that of our, of much use. but of course, main battle tanks, for example, have not been delivered yet,

and i will be strongly supportive of this idea. the bar shows also addressed the global consequences of the russian war against ukraine. that's a reliable partner in europe and elsewhere have shown a lot of solidarity. he said and have helped germany overcome its reliance on russian guess. anti want other nations around the world need help averting a hanger crisis. assistant of cargo when, when it's a question of humanity, but also of our credibility. and if we want the countries of africa, asia, and latin america and the caribbean, to continue to support us in defending international law against attacks like russia's higher than, it's only just that. we also take their concerns about dealing with the consequences of the russian war. he seriously, in spite of all these challenges, schultz, i that he was more certain than ever that put in swore against ukraine and the entire free world will fail. you leaders are meeting and brussels to discuss the

energy crisis and a looming recession. the war, new crane has driven up energy costs at this fear that public support for ukraine could wayne as winter bytes. you lead us will be looking at ways of cutting energy costs for consumers to w's t. as a glove outer found on more skyrocketing prices for gas and i'll have created major headaches for many europeans. now, european governments wanted change that at the ear leaders last summit. earlier this month, everyone agreed energy prices have to go down. now several suggestions on the table for their next meeting here in brussels. the fast proposal on the table is joined purchasing, but this model energy supplies would be bought at a european union level rather than a national one and subsequently distributed. this could bring down prices due to the increased purchasing power that might need some time to be set up. the

2nd proposal is agreeing on a maximum price limit paid for gas. by all european importers, the intention is to prevent some of the price spike seen in recent months. but this measure comes with certain pros and cons. the advantage of this measure is that it could really reduce energy prices quite quickly. and at the same time, it wouldn't cost anything to european states, but that, of course, has the risk that suppliers will not deliver enough gas to european states because they, they have less incentives with a lower price to, to do so. the 3rd proposal is a solidarity mechanism, but this suggestion you countries would help each other out in times of emergency supply shortages, transferring energy from one country to another. but for some that might be too much to ask for. the problem is that a lot of especially richer countries ah,

will not necessarily agree on a mechanism that makes them pay for the war was of other countries. we've seen that in the past before. it's always been very difficult to agree on that. so why should it be different this time? another idea is still being worked on is a cap on energy prices as done in spain. their government buys gas at current high, mike had prices that passes that on to consumers at a lower cost and paste the difference itself. this is as pressure on households that drives up demand and could create supply issues. but these propositions on the table, you leaders now have to come to an agreement on how to lower prices on securing energy supplies the next winter. now for more, let's go to the w brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena who's at the summit for us. alexandra, how united is that you, when it comes to dealing with this energy process? well, as it seems right now, the leaders are not united at all. i mean, there is

a possibility that they could agree on some measures. for instance, a buying jointly gas in the future, but when it comes to the main proposal on the table prize gas caps, there are not united on dat. add the majority of the leaders there are in favor of such a measure of saying that that could help lower the prices. however, one a country is a very prominent or partner of such price caps. it's germany arguing that such a measure could hamper gas purchases and also discourage energy savings. and that's why germany actually is facing a lot of criticism here with some members said, saying that germany is not showing up fully doroty with other not so wealthy nations and french. president mccoy actually said here upon his arrival that it's not good for the european union for germany to be isolated. so as you can see quite

a strong statement here. and now with all the discord or you just described, are valued as like you to find common ground on how to handle this quite well, we will see we are hearing from officials dad to day expect a very heated discussion to go on into denied tonight. some even are warning that this summit could be extended. you know, when you cover events like bad for a long time, you are always ready to see a surprise, maybe a compromise in the end. but as for now, our leaders are not united when it comes to the quick nasa prize caps on gas imports. i was on the, on a different topic. has there been any reaction in brussels to the resignation of british foreign minister list ross? yes, but it was quite interesting to see that many leaders were very reluctant to comment

on that. you know, there is still some bitterness here on how the u. k. left the block and how their relation has developed after that and for instance, or the european commission president was up up on the lie and said that she is not going to comment on the situation in the u. k. she is here to attend at the summit of the european you leaders of french or president emmanuel mccall. also of 1st declined to comment on that, but then said that he thinks that what's important now for the u. k. is to be stable again and status or the direction that also was taken by deb irish prime minister, who said that it's important for the u. k. to be politically stable. it was interesting to listen to the spanish a prime minister actually played with sanchez said that the resignation of less trust is an end to an approach that he considered an old fashioned approach. how to

cope with economic crisis. and of course, he was referring to trust a proposal to a cat, texas, that he, she had to take back them our brussels bureau chief for alexander phenomena. thank you so much that have a look night, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. police are northeastern germany, say a fire that broke out at a hotel in the village of gauze, shrunken golf may have been politically motivated. arson, the hotel have been housing, ukrainian, refugees, 17 people were inside when the fire broke out, but no one was in a new law tackling the legacy of spain's fascist dictatorship, has entered into force. it overturns all convictions for political or religious beliefs, as well as full sexual orientation. it also promotes the search for victims buried

in mass graves. more than a 100000 people disappeared during spain, civil war and dictatorship from 1936 to 1975. ukrainians are being told to switch off their electricity for much of today. the measures in response to rushes, widening strikes against energy facilities. the national grid operator says the curb is limited to thursday, but more restrictions on blackouts may be needed with winter approaching. preparing dinner in a make shift, outdoor kitchen. 9 year old autumn and his grandma arena hurried to get dinner ready before the setting. sun plunges their home into cold and darkness. he knew hoarder. it's really cold. yeah, my guess is, i'm sleeping in my clothes in my apartment now. li, issue. russian strikes have cut off utilities in cities and

towns across ukraine. and many residents here in the hockey region, we have been living without gas, water, or electricity for weeks down. i don't think you can move this enough when you are from our windows were damaged to it. now we are only eating here, but sleeping in the next apartment because their windows are not damaged. so it's warmer there any way? don't you? for many people bundling up at night and cooking outdoors is a matter of survival growth. the situation is like, this is no electricity, no water, no gas look, we're cold, you can see we're building fires. and tom lives with his mother. she's disabled. it is totally dependent on her son's help you. it's a brother, so it's really cold. now, if it weren't for myself only i would freeze. got you in the

hands of residents living in villages like these in the half heed region have been thrust into a pre industrial era with no modern comforts authorities. the trying to reassure people that electricity will be restored soon, and that repairs to water and gas infrastructure will come next. that with the war and with absolutely no certainty. people like at him and his grandmother can only prepare for what will likely be a very harsh ukrainian winter across one of mathias billing as in cuba and joins me and now from there. now, russian attacks, as we've heard, have destroyed a substantial amount of the energy infrastructure of the country. people have enough to endure blackouts and electricity rationing. what's the government's saying about all that? and today's like a test day where people have been asked to consume less energy and then based upon

these experiences will be decided with a further power cuts are necessary. they have those would be an announcement that our cars might occur. but here in key for now, electricity is still there, but we are seeing these power cuts in public buildings. for example, shopping centers have switched off the escalators. and the reason is, of course, that a lot of the power generating infrastructure. the power plants are being destroyed . 30 percent, we're hearing loss some of the grids and there seems to be not enough power in the next few days until maybe some other ways have been found to generate additional elect city. we're talking about generators, or maybe even in ports to, to sustain the same level of, for, of power consumption consumption that we have seen before these attacks, these targeted attacks on the power infrastructure started. now,

what's the latest from the, about the field? a multi of the main theater is now the south. we've seen some announcements in the past few days by the russians or who have been saying that things were very difficult. who have called for evacuations. people here fear that these might not be evacuations, actually, but forced deputations of people from these areas to some observe as this point to the expectation that russia might give up these territories. we're talking about the her, his own region, the part of the house on reason that so on the right bank of the near her to player, to part where has on city is are, it might also point to russians expecting fears, fighting their way in which they might be a, in a disadvantage against ukrainian forces who have really been reinforcing her there are there the military cuz capacities in this house,

in their hassan direction. her eyes are, they are, are on there. we don't know the ukrainians as often do not disclose what they're really doing are planning to do their am and her eyes are on the house on region. now to see what is going to happen there next to w, as much as billing or their reporting from keith. thank u r t c o p r. now where the government says p stalks all the 2 year old civil war and the countries northern take ry region will start in south africa next week. a civil war has been fought between the, the opium, a government and neighboring eritrea on one side. and the to gripe people's liberation fronts on the other. since 2020 i truce broke down in august and violence. us intensified since prompting a growing number of international voices to issue warnings over the worsening humanitarian situation. and he is the chief of the united nations. antonia with

hellish said in new york, the situation in it, your peer is spilling out of control. violence and destruction averaged alarming levels. the social fabric is being ripped apart. or still it is in the 3rd grade region of ethiopia must end now including the media with that all and these engagement video 3 and armed forces from it your peer there is no military solution. i like to bring in william davis and a senior. if you open analysts at the think tank international crisis group and he joins us from nairobi before we talk about the plan piece thought, can you remind our viewers of the main issues these 2 parties in this conflict are at loggerheads about what was rigidly started after a political dispute between the leaders and the federal government turned into

a constitutional dispute in 2020 that led to the outbreak of, of civil war. ready in november, hence the war began, we've seen atrocities. we've seen, the federal government allies essentially besieged to graze region. we've also seen our region take a portion of the great territory. so the reasons for the war have evolved. now good cherish recently spoke of an alarming situation. integrate, is it international pressure that has actually prompted this piece to yes. and then that's that correct? that may be the african union and it partners that particularly the us have been active in trying to get us to conduct negotiation yet to see of course, whether these tools actually happen. and it's going to be very difficult to make progress in any tool that can be which is set to be in south africa. because the rates mentioned by ever try and get pushed into too great. they look set to try and

did a decisive loads with the left grades moving policy. so it may be hard to get his position of or even if the talks can be. yeah, that was my what my next question do you think these talks could actually bring about peace and what needs to happen that that it will ensue? what of course, that is a hope that the talk and bring about peace. but the reason to be concerned that they won't, i think the things that we would need to see happen is for, they are trying to be governments that affected. we would need to see the agreement to reform or to face the possibilities, the restarting of some mandatory deliveries in to take right. we would then need to see the federal government lift other elements with blockade that could set the path for political negotiations between to grey and the federal government and the other axes and treating retract with a very long way to go get that sort of person. we know who will mediate in these

talks. the mediation effect the lead by the african union. they have the lead mediator is former president of san jose, and he will be supported by the former kenyan president and former deputy south africa. the president is also let me to support the us, you and un envoy. but at the moment these are just plans that the talk gets formally again. so we're not quite sure exactly what the structure of any mediation will be. william davis last senior, ethiopia analysts from the international crisis group. thank you very much for joining us here. on dw news, you watching t w news coming up next in d w. news asia. look at the fallout after chinese conceal a work as of tact. peaceful demonstrates with outside may james mission and manchester in the u. k. and a dispute over territorial waters. china's leaving filipino fishermen with less to
