a tax on energy facilities. with winter approaching, people are being asked to switch off the electricity for much of the day. and the african union schedules piece talks to resolve the civil war, ethiopia, northern tig. right into where millions are facing a potential humanitarian catastrophe. ah, i'm glad off as well come to the program. british prime minister lis trusts has resigned just after 6 weeks in office. her announcement comes after a bruising week of you turns on economic, an energy policy and a backlash from her own conservative party. today's resignation makes her the shortest serving prime minister in u. k. history. in his speech outside downing street troy said she can 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. peterson's a legal warn ukraine, threatened the security of our whole continent, and our country as have been held back the 2 long by lo, economic rights. 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. now let's bring in quentin peel. he is a former commentator for the financial times. a nobler chatham house. think tank or

quinton? how? how did it come to all this? well, they rushed lives truss into office. when boris johnson was sacked. i am the 3rd prime minister. they've had in a row, 1st bar is johnson overthrew to resume. you'll remember. and i think that they jumped for somebody in this dress who was simply really not capable of holding the party together. she wooed the right wing of the conservative party, the hard line breaks it is to believe that she was the right person and almost immediately, all blown up in her face. she represents a thoroughly divided party, and now they get to try and hang on to power. it's, it's a contradiction in terms really. now you mentioned are boys johnson, they're there already reports that, that he is throwing that his hat in the ring to a replace atrocity off the just having resigned what, what's to that?

i think it just shows really how chaotic the situation is. i saw an immediate reaction from one of the conservative members of parliament is that a forest johnson were elected to be prime minister again. i would leave and join the labor party so that that really wouldn't be support with a very significant number of his own members. of parliament, they regard boris johnson as a sort of am. he's a winner electrolyte, but he's a loser. as prime minister, he was a dreadful prime minister who misbehaved, misled the house of commons and lost credibility to the office. so i think that it would be a sign of desperation. if they turned back to him, the one who were cold for a general election are growing louder by the minute. can the conservative party really afford to ignore that? i think they're going to try and ignore it and that, but there is, it's not just the opposition parties. clearly the labor party is demanding

a general election. it's very clear from the opinion polls that that is what a clear majority of voters way of a 70 percent want a general election. but the truth is that an awful lot of conservative members of parliament would be condemned to lose their seats and therefore lose their incomes . if they went for a general election and as we say in english, usually turkeys don't vote for christmas. it looks like going for a general election would be voting for a turkey's christmas. is labor really interested in holding a general election right now given the difficult situation the countries in i think they would be quite tall. and actually because whoever takes paula at this moment, face is a very severe economic crisis. they face the consequences of the war in ukraine, and they faced all the problems following kobe than the really critical stage of the national health service. having said all of that, there is

a fundamental problem at the heart of this that was self inflicted, and that is the hope breaks it process. it split the conservative party, it split the labor party and split the country. whoever comes to power has got to try and he'll those deep divisions. you mentioned here on the w that the decision for breaks it would haunt the country for years. is that what we're seeing today? absolutely. i think it, it is absolutely right. it was a terrible self inflicted wounds. it's, it's had economic consequences because the trade with europe has as slumped and inward investment into united kingdom, which over the years has tended to be the one benefit to the country that has also decline sharply. because outside europe, the, the british isles are no longer as an attractive, a place to do business as they used to be so bricks, it has been very much

a self inflicted wound above all, at the behest of the conservative party. but labor is scared of making a big issue as well because as i said, it divides the country right down the middle. quentin peel, thank you very much for your insight. thank ukrainians are being told to switch off the electricity for much of today. the measurements in response to rushes, widening, attacks 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 makeshift outdoor kitchen. 9 year old autumn and his grandma arena hurrying to get dinner ready before the setting. sun plunges the home into cold and darkness. in horgan, it's really cold. he and like guess she, i'm sleeping in my clothes in my apartment now. li,

issue brushing strikes of cut off utilities and 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 to push the kids move is enough. when you are from our windows were damaged to to now we are only eating here, but sleeping in the next apartment because their windows are not damaged 11. 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. go through the situations like this is no electricity, no water, no gas recalls. 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 to you. it's

abroad that though it's really cold. now, if it wasn't for myself only i would freeze. i should in the homes of residents living in villages like these in the hot heed region have been thrust into a pre industrial era with no modern comforts authority. 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 art him and his grandmother can only prepare for what will likely be a very harsh ukrainian winter. we can now speak to petro sankoh. he was president of ukraine from 122014220. 19 mister per shanker. how do you interpret a putin's reese of escalation of the war with a tax on energy facilities? is it an act of desperation?

looking, this is the gesture or so, so for this job revenge, i'm the just show the situation of the berry back thinks i'm the horror asa, who jim just tried to weaponized the cold weather because now and you're claiming is start to be really cold. and he user blackmail. a few weeks ago, he use a grain, blackmail lic mailing world for the honda leaks. he blackmail him about, then you click them to major attack him there is a put is your nuclear power plant, and now he's like mailing coal. your brains with their energy crisis, we go gas and oil, and just for the last 3 and a half days, you've agreed receive 3 hambrick me styles and all at tech on the old, just over the critical infrastructure alternative. what would you expect to see

today? total blackout uniquely total blackout in keys and we regrouping situation today. for example, instead of the toner boss, we use in their boss on the 3 to key. we eat introducing a lot of the generator. we learn how to leave with their energy shorter during the war. and this is just another evidence that this decision of the u. d impala until it's done. so toodles talk, given the ukrainian people there, that price is absolutely right. we learn how to william the walls, and we really demonstrate that your brain is on breakable. now we are doing cold or under the pressure you played

camp typically please me to pull gym be do not give you this gift. now you mentioned the attacks are recently on the energy of his host is carried out by drones. and there are indications that they come from iran, so it seems that iran is slowly entrenching itself as a player and the ukraine war. how concerning us this foyer list of all this is not there so suspicious. we have a full list of evidence that these little ones, hundreds of dollars was produced, be an error. and i think now that it is extremely important that when we invite the independent commission on the united nations secretary general to investigate that and see the evidence that these little softer men on. it is interesting reaction for russia. and they said that if only the general theory

hello and then the mission to your brain, the roster will make the pressure to the secretary general united nation. so the only language who to jim the fan? oh use this is the language. all right, black man, and the very important thing, this is the evidence what happened with the dog iran and below russia that we now have that will not only be the russia, but also we ever triple country washer iran and below was, is an aggressive against new grades and we would be very much welcome and appreciation yesterday. decision of the european union counseling. so using the new and decisive sanction against iran, the rhyming company, iranian, and people, a person full participating in the process of keegan,

of playing has become the brakes paid for that with the life of our severe and innocent victims and the deck situation. i'm proud that yesterday me and she to, to him that great m columns that hold not a special statement, especially solution reach is dedicated to iran. is it all like graphics against your brain? a proportion call that the former ukrainian president. thank you very much for joining us on the w news. now german chancellor shows has given a key policy statements to parliament ahead of a summit of 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 is unwavering, commitment to keep some say, the government could be doing more when all our shawls 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, english 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, belief 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 this speech of the chancellor or scratch, i'm inspired and, and emotional. we could do more and who 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 charts also addressed the global consequences of the russian war against ukraine. that's reliable partners in europe and elsewhere have shown a lot of solidarity. he said and have helped germany overcome its reliance on russian gas. anti want other nations around the world need help averting a hunger crisis. assistant 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 rushes higher than it's only just the 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. energy costs across the european union have risen sharply after russia, carrots, gas deliveries in response to western sanctions. over the war, new crime. so can you speak with one voice to address that crisis? european leaders are debating that right now at a summit and brussels. you chief, also underline said the blocks response would center around 2 big issues. the commission has come forward with a substantive package that will be discussed today. and it's basically 2 points that are dominant. the 1st one is, how are we able to obtain tame the gas prices, mainly the spikes and the manipulation by russia. and then there's a 2nd topic that is very important, that is, how can we support our economy over europe everywhere in europe?

it is important to my opinion that we have a european investment in s m, e and in businesses in order to give every country the possibility to manage the transition that we have ahead of us. the w brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena is at the summit where she said, you members do not yet agree on how to deal with the energy crisis. while 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, of 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 country is a very prominent or porn are of such prize 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 in absolute doroty with other not so wealthy nations and french. president mccoy actually says, 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. now, with all the discord there, you just described of believe as like you to find common ground on how to handle this cries. well, we will see we are hearing from officials, dad. they 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 a events like that for a long time, you are always ready to see a surprise may be a compromise in the end. but as for now, our leaders are not united when it comes to the question of prize cat on gas in forks as 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 blog and how their relation has developed after that. and for instance, the european commission president was up up on the lion, said that she's 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,

a 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 in the direction that also was taken by deb irish prime minister, who said that it's important for the okay 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 answer 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 kept texas, that he, she had to take back them our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena. thank you. it's on that sir. take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. police,

northeast and germany say a fire that broke out at the hotel in the village of course, to him. candles may have been politically motivated. allison, the hotel had been housing ukrainian, refugees, 17 people were inside when the fire broke out. but no one was it really 30 people including security as have been killed in the, under an unrest in chance capitol and jayma. hundreds of demonstrators defied a ban on protest to mark the date when the military administration was supposed to hand over path. it's rule has now been extended by at least 2 years. the government in ethiopia says peace talks on the 2 year old civil war and the countries. nolan take ry region will start in south africa next week. a civil war has been fought between the philippine government and neighboring eritrea on one side and the tick re people's liberation front on the other since 2020 a truce broke down in august and violence has intensified since prompting growing

number of international voices to issue warnings. over the worsening humanitarian situation. here's what the chief of the united nations, antonia, with that it said in new york this week. 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 it. your peer 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. early on i spoke to william davis in the senior ethiopia analyst at the think tank international crisis group. and he told us why the different parties are at loggerheads was rigidly started after

a political dispute between calculate needed and the federal government turned into a constitutional dispute. in 2020 that led to the outbreak of, of civil war. ready and in november, since the war began, we've seen atrocities we've seen, the federal government to allies essentially besieged grace region. we've also seen, i'm har, region take portion of the great territory. so the reasons for the war have of all difficult. now the terrorists recently spoke of an alarming situation into international pressure that has actually prompted these peaceful n. yes. and then that's that correct? that may be the african union and it partners that particularly the us have been active and trying to get a thought to conduct negotiation. we're yet to see of course, whether these tools actually happen. and it's gonna be very difficult to make progress in any tool that can be,

which is set to be in south africa. because momentum by ever try and, and he can push into to grade. they look set to try and did a decisive loads with the glass grades rolling policy. so it may be hard to get a sensation of affinity even if the tools 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 into when of course there is a hope that the talk and bring about peace. but there is 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 get the governments that affected. we would need to see the agreement to reform or to face the possibilities, the restarting, of some monetary deliveries into take, right. we would then need to see the federal government left other elements with the blockade that could set the pass for political negotiations between gray and the federal government and the other axes and to the retract with

a very long way to go get that sort of person we know who will mediate in these talks. the mediation effect will 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 president. there's also, let's me to support the u. s. u 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 davidson, senior ethiopia analysts from the international crisis group. thank you very much for joining us here on the w news. and a reminder of all top stories. the british prime minister liz ross has resigned off the just 6 weeks in office, or announcement comes off a bruising week of you turns on economic policy and energy policy. and the backlash
