ah ah ah ah, this is dw slide from berlin, more political chaos in the u. k. as the prime minister announces, she's stepping down after just 6 weeks in office list process, she's resigning as leader of the conservative party, but that she'll stay on as prime minister until her successor is founded. also on the program, keith tells ukrainians to conserve part as russia steps up,

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. in ethiopia, northern take re region where millions are facing the potential humanitarian catastrophe. ah, i'm glad of as well come to the program. british prime minister list trust is resigning after just 6 weeks in office. or announcement comes after a bruising week of you turns on economic and energy policy and a backlash from her own conservative party. her resignation makes her the shortest serving prime minister in british history. after weeks of chaos at 10 downing street, a moment of clarity, list, trust, fence,

frenzied speculation on her future by telling the british people. but she is stepping down. i cannot deliver the mandate 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. only 6 weeks ago, trust was confirmed as prime minister by the late queen elizabeth the 2nd. but the disastrous budget from the no former chancellor, quasi quartet ng spelled at the beginning of the end, high tax rates are home secretary swell. a braverman walked after a row over immigration. and then a vote to band fracking, played out amid chaotic scenes sealed trust his fate kill. oh ha. despite her own failure to vote, she won the ballots. but many tory and peas rebelled amid white spread anger. that

such a regime was ever approved by the party. i am livid and you know, i really shouldn't say this, but i hope all those people that put this trust in number 10. i hope it was worth it. i think was worth it for the minister red box. i think it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because for the damage they have down to our party is extraordinary. tory part, anger hasn't been confined to the conservative spot. there are calls from opposition and voters alike for the general election. we talk scott, dogs, so we call have a revolving door of chaos. we can have another experiment at the top of the tory party. that is an alternative, and that's a stable labor government. and the public are entitled to have their say, that's why it should be a general election. no, any general election does. this is a cycle of rubbish. and they were face rubbish and will rubbish, nonprofit hotel, she's a thief, i to dana. and certainly the policy decisions that she might let none of the

british people also areas in this country. we have to nominate to that despite now we have a non elected government backlog democracies, etc. as a trust says her successor is to be elected by the end of next week with former chancellor richie sooner critic of trust, his budget plans among the front runners, quinton film as a former contact for the financial times. and now with a chatham house. think tag, i asked him earlier about truss dramatic downfall. well, they rush less trust into our face when boris johnson was sacked. and 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 trus who was simply really not capable of holding the party together. she wooed the right wing of the conservative party, the hard line breaks the tears to believe that she was the right person. and almost

immediately, all blown up in her face. she represents a cleverly divided party, and now they get to try and hang on to power. i hate it's a contradiction in terms really. now you mentioned a boys, johnson that are already reports that and then he is throwing that his hat in the ring to a replace atrocity after 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 em, 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. and so i think that it would be a sign of desperation. if they turned back to him, one of them were cold for a general election are growing louder by the minute. can the conservative party really afford to ignore that? i think again to try and ignore it, but, 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 weigh over 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 country is in? i think they would be quite tall and actually because whoever takes power at this moment, faces a very severe economic crisis, they faced the consequences of the war in ukraine. and they face all the problems following covey than the really critical stage of the national health service. having said all that, there is a fundamental problem at the heart of this that was self inflicted and that is the whole breaks it process. it split the conservative party, it split the labor party and it split the country. whoever comes to power has got to try and he'll, those deep divisions are 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 declined 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 their electricity for much of today. the measures in response to rushes, widening, attacks against energy facilities. the national grid operators says the curb is

limited to thursday, but more restrictions and black house may be needed with winter approaching. preparing dinner in a make shift, outdoor kitchen 9 year old autumn and his grandma arena a hurrying to get dinner ready before the setting. sun plunges their home into cold and darkness. she knew horgan. it's really cold. he and like guess she's, i'm sleeping in my clothes in my apartment now, li, issue, russian 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. i don't think that move is enough. will you or can our windows were damaged to it? now we are only eating here, but sleeping in the next apartment because their windows are not damaged 11, so it's warmer there. yeah. why don't people 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, 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 to do. it's a brother, so it's really cold. now, if it weren't for myself, only i would freeze. i should in the homes of residents living in villages like these in the hot he'd 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. and early i spoke to petro pers jenko who was president of ukraine from 2014 to 2019. and i asked him what he makes of hooton's. we recent escalation of the war with a tax on ukraine's energy infrastructure. working, this is the gesture. oh, so for this job revenge. i'm the just show of the situation of the very best things. i'm the for asa o jim just tried to weapon mize the cold weather because now in your claim is start to be really cold. and he user blackmail. a few weeks ago he use a green black mail like mailing world, so the honda leaks, he blackmail him about, then you click them to make a text him. there is a put,

is your nuclear power plant, and now he's like mailing coal. your brains with the energy crisis will go gas and oil. and just for the last 3 and a half days, ukraine receive 3 hambrick me styles and all at tech on their 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 of key we eat. introducing a lot of the generator, we learn how to leave with their energy shorter during the walk. this is just another evidence that this decision of be empowered until it's done. so toodles talk, given the ukranian people, their price is absolute right?

we learn how to william their walls and we really demonstrate that your brain is on breakable, read or ruin. he is cold or under the pressure you play and can't typically please me to pull. jim, do not give you this good. 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 says that iran is slowly entrenching itself as a player and the ukraine war. how concerning us this foyer this is all, this is not there. so suspicious behavior tool, least 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 the little software i'm in on. it is interesting reaction i'm. they said that he's only the general 30 hello and then the mission to you play the roster will make the pressure to the 2nd to the general tonight that nation. so the only language who would, you know, understand? oh use, this is the language of a blick man and the very important thing. this is the evidence. what happen to have done iran and bill of russia that we now have or 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 right man company, iranian a people, a person full participating in the process of keegan, 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 said to him that i am parliament that hold not a special statement, especially solution reach did dedicated to iraq, ma'am? is it all like grass against your brain? a proportion call that the former ukrainian president. thank you very much for joining us on the w news. german chancellor shows has warned against

a global increase in the use of cold union address or to parliament outlining is governments. energy policies shows told lawmakers that the country's energy supply for the winter was secure. despite russia's decision to cut gas, the plot part of his strategy has evolved been whole fire power plants back on line shows also said moscow's plan to add to the pressure on the e u by cutting energy supplies as failure. so can you speak with one voice to address those soaring energy costs? european leaders, are they bating that right now at a summit in brussels? you chief, also a founder alliance at the blocks was bonds would center around 2 big issues. the commission has come forward with a substantive package that will be discussed today. and it's basically a 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 all 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. from on this, let's go to the w brussels bureau to follow some of an arm and nose up of summit for us. i was under the meeting is under way. what's the latest that you're hearing? so the meeting started with the leaders discussing the current energy crisis, and this discussion was interrupted, so they were able to listen to the ukraine in president zalinski. of course, the topic of energy is also on his mind with russia increasingly attacking

ukrainian energy infrastructure. and now the leaders are discussing, again, a soaring energy prices and we are hearing that at this sir. discussion is not bringing them at the moment at least any closer to our solution. so we are hearing that that could be even a change of the whole summit choreography with maybe some other issues being now put forward to be discussed and the energy are being pushed to morrow. that, of course, all speculation. maybe what's also important to note is dad sir, the french president melma call a med today a word. the german chancellor here on the sun, sidelines off at the summit. france and germany are always being considered and driving due to find compromise consensus. but at the moment, at least when it comes to the energy issue, they are in opposing camps. now with all this strive for you,

i have been describing all the you did lead of likely to find common ground and how to handle this quite well, i think when it comes to some proposals put forward by the european commission for instance, more corporation on it enjoined gas purchases, data could be something that the leaders can agree on. but when we come, when it comes to the topic of a price caps on a gas import, this is very controversial with the majority of members states pushing for such price caps and with germany. and some other saying, no, this is not to the silver bullets to tackle the crisis. and actually germany has been under a lot of criticism here for a day or stands on that matter with a french president my call saying that it is not good for you rob or germany to be isolated with that issue. so quite a statement here. any reaction year to in brussels to the resignation of las ross?

well, yes, actually we heard from some leaders here. the irish leader, for instance, said that on the personal level, he had sympathy with list a trust. but he also mentioned that it's now very important for the u. k. to find political stability. again, that is also what we heard from the french president, the spanish leader suncoast told us that he consider sir, that so he's thing stats her. her resignation is putting an end to an approach that is an old fashioned approach. how to cope with economic crises. and of course he was referring to her plan to kat taxes, something that she was forced to take back and that led to her resignation in the an probably our brussels beauty for example, are phenomena there. thank you, alex, i'm a tom now to have

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. police in northeast and germany say a fire that broke out at a hotel in the village of course storm could off may have been politically motivated. arson bell had been housing ukrainian, refugees, 17 people were inside when the fire broke out, but no one was injured. and no law tackling the legacy of spain fascist dictatorship has entered into force. it overtones all convictions for political or religious beliefs, as well as for sex sexual orientation. it also promotes the search for victims buried in mass frames more than 100000 people disappeared during spain civil war and dictatorship from 936 to 975 lebanon's parliament has been unable to elect a new president for 3rd time. the country is in a deep economic and political crisis. there are now fears of a power vacuum when michele and his term as president on october 31st. the new

parliamentary parliamentary vote has been set for early next week, and nearly 30 people including security officers, have been killed in the unrest in jobs capital, and jemina. hundreds of demonstrators defied a band on protest to mark the date when the military administration was supposed to hand over power. it's root has now been extended by at least 2 years. the government and it's the o. p a says piece talks on the 2 year old civil war in the countries know then take ry region will start in south africa next week. a civil war has been fought between the european government and laboring every trail, one side and the take right people's liberation, liberation front, on the other. since 2020 a truce broke down in august and violence has intensified since from to a growing number of international voices to issue warnings over the worsening human italian situation. that is what the chief of the united nations antonia with said

in new york this week. the situation in a job here is spilling out of control violence and destruction averaged alarming levels. the social fabric is being ripped apart. oh, 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. earlier, i spoke to william davison, the senior ethiopia analyst at the think tank international crisis group. he told us why the different parties at loggerheads rigidly started after a political dispute between the 2 great 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 greys territory. so the reasons for the war have evolved since it becomes now good, cherish recently spoke of an alarming situation. integrate? is it international pressure that has actually prompted these peaceful am? yes, i just understand that that correct, that may be the african union and its partners that particularly the us have been active in trying to get us to conduct. 1 negotiation we're yet to see of course, whether these tools actually have heard that it's gonna be very difficult to make progress in any tool that that can be, which is set to be in south africa. because the rates momentum by ever trying to push into to grade, they look set to try and did a decisive loads with the plastic race routing policy. so it may be hard to get

a situation or even if it 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 when of course, that is a hope that the talk and bring about peace. but there is reason to be concerned that they won't. i think the thing that we would need to see happen is for, they are trying to be governments that affected. we would need to see the agreement or for motivation or possibilities, the restarting of some monetary deliveries. in particular. we would then need to see the federal government lift other elements with the blockade that could set the pass for political negotiations between the grey and the federal government and the other axes. and treating our track 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 to get formally again, so we're not quite sure exactly what the structure of any mediation will be. william davis, their senior, ethiopia analysts from the international crisis group. thank you very much for joining us here. on the w news now some has released stunning new images of a cosmic phenomenon known as the pillars of creation. the image was taken by the james web telescope that was launched into space last year. it shows towering mountains of dust and gas in the eagle nebula, which is an incubator for new stars in the milky way. angela is 6500 light years
