a comeback. also on the show, keith tells ukrainians to curb their power usage. as russia stepped up a tax on energy facilities with winter approaching, people are being asked to switch off power for much of the day. plus tackling europe, energy crunch. the war in ukraine has sent fuel prices. boring. you leaders are holding a summit to address the cry. ah, i'm nicole really. it's good to have you with us. after a turbulent 6 weeks in office, british prime minister, let's trust it, stepping down. her 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 sir the shortest

serving prime minister in british history. after weeks of chaos at 10 downing street, a moment of clarity, las trust fence frenzied speculation on her future by telling the british people that 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 too. 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 scott. there are calls from opposition and voters alike for the general election. we talk scott dog, 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 we'll rubbish number of it for the job. she's a think 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 an elected government backlog. democracies, etc, as a trust says her successor is to be voted in by the party by the end of next week. with boris johnson's former chancellor risha sooner a critic of trust his budget plan. so among the front runners, the regime and we can now speak about all of this to robert hutton. he's a veteran, political correspondent, and commentator for the british magazine. the critic, robert, the mutiny had been going on for quite some time. are you at all surprised list trusts, finally gave up. well, i mean, i wasn't surprised. she gave up this afternoon. i think you told me 6 weeks ago

that she would only last 6 weeks. i would if i think she'll make it longer than that. to say it is it is this, this bit it is where it depends which when when i was surprised, probably what i mean things have been moving very fast. it felt very bad last night . i think i think of last night, what was to you the moment it all sort of fell apart. i mean, it was it last night when i actually on monday on monday morning, the new chancellor, 7 on friday afternoon, she sacked her earl johnson. and on monday morning, her new chancellor went on television and said, i am tearing it all up. everything's, everything's gone, all of us stuff way now. that's not happening anymore. and at that point you really did thing. okay, right. well, time for why. why is the prime minister still here then? because she came in with one call, very firm, set views about how the country should be run and actually know how the country is

now going to run. so what, why you see that? i think are a name only, wasn't she? yes, yes. and i think that was true. i think it now already everyone is talking about boris johnson. how likely do you think a come back as i mean i think he would love to. he would absolutely love to he hidden, loves these narratives that he break to the all of the rules. one of the rules is you don't get a 2nd john one, he would love to break that rule. well, i think that there are so you've got to remember that he left him disgracing once ago not, not very long ago, and indeed is still under investigation and could still be be be ejected from

pullman for the thing. he left the grapes over to him, coming back would be a high risk strategy for the conservative party. i think that there aren't enough conservative m. p 's who want him to come back and i don't think he will want to run and fail if you see what i mean. yeah, so i think although he is enjoying all of the attention and being back on the tally and so on, i would expect over the next 40 hours that you will suddenly see the bar is trying to find some elegant way to say, well, you know, i just like my time, i mean honestly, i think if you go, if you go there was any chance at all, he would do it. and actually if everybody, if you could get to the final 2, this is a 2 stage process. harlem and we'll, we'll narrow down to 2 and then it goes from talking to him. but if you get the final 2, i think he would probably get, get the among the white

a membership of the conservative party, who all love him. come understand why, why he was got rid of and, and, and would love to have him back in a p 0 today said you'd have to be mad to want the job. is there anyone? seriously, mad enough around the book is full of people who are not enough to oh, but we still worry. yeah there's, there's shortage. i mean, there are, there are, there's always a moment in this contest way where somebody will say, well, you know, my friends urging me to send and ill say, well, for a joke. i think that person this time is a man called brandon lewis, who i'm sure you know don't, and i'm actually struggling to think what his job is at the moment. i think he might be just a secretary i he who sort of he, he think he could do it. realistically. they've the names to watch a ratio student who came 2nd last time, penny mordant,

who missed out how to interpret as anyone has had a good as a successful run in trust as 6 weeks in office. penny has. those are the 2 by the i would, i would really be watching and it's quite possible. last time the party was given a choice between rashid and someone else. they chose someone else. so i wouldn't rule them out doing that again. but it didn't go all that well, did it, robert hutton, veteran. thank you for your time tonight. alice and take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. the fuel being government says that it will take part in peace talks on the 2 year old conflict and the northern t cry region next week. the negotiations with t t g right people's liberation front in south africa are due to take place after a previous attempt failed earlier this month, triggering further fighting at least 60 people, including security officers,

have been killed in the unrest and shoddy capital and jemina. hundreds of demonstrators defied a ban on protests to mark the date when the military administration was supposed to hand over power. its rule has now been extended by at least 2 years. today was a dark day for many ukrainians as the public heeded a call from the government to switch off electricity until 11 pm. the measure is in response to russia's widening attacks against energy facilities which have caused outages. in many areas. the national grid operators as the curb is limited to thursday, but more restrictions and 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. she knew horgan. he's really cold. he and like guess she's,

i'm sleeping in my clothes in my apartment now. li, issue. russian strikes of cutoff utilities and cities and towns across ukraine. and many residents here in the hockey region, we have been living without gas water for electricity for weeks down. the key that move is enough. will you open 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. e, my don't to play for many people, bundling up at night and cooking outdoors is a matter of survival growth. 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 do it's

a brother, so 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 huff he 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 autumn and his grandmother can only prepare for what will likely be a very harsh ukrainian winter. our joy, now by a she ended prayer spokesperson of the international committee of the red crossing ukraine. he joined us from keith. mister dupree, thank you so much for being with us tonight. russia is increasingly attacking

really an infrastructure in ukraine. what's your reaction to that? we have been saying for several months from the beginning of this conflict that hitting civilian and civilian infrastructures is absolutely unacceptable. civilian and civilian infrastructure are protected under international humanitarian law, and therefore, they're not part of the fight and should not be the target of military hostilities we've seen in the past few weeks. a lot of ariel strikes, especially in urban centers in ukraine. i am here in keith and just last week we saw aerial strikes at a time where people were going to work. we're taking their kids to school. and we know that this as disproportionate effect on civilians and among civilians on the most vulnerable on the elderly, on children, on the stick and wounded. this is unacceptable and we keep repeating this call to

the parties to this international conflict that civilian and civilian infrastructures are not, should not be targets of military facilities. and especially as winter is fast approaching. and we will go soon to sub 0 temperatures, which will make it incredibly challenging facility communities in ukraine. yet, many of russia attacks have been focusing on the energy infrastructure. how are ukrainians coping with power cuts and blackouts? and you know, geez, power codes and blackouts are happening throughout the country in many major cities . this is taking a huge goal on, on people and to learn communities. this means that people are not able to keep their houses. it's making difficult for people to prepare food and also people live in the anguish of not knowing whether they will be able in the coming weeks and months to go through the winter. and we, at the international record have been already for money,

is very helping community link community to prepare for this winter by trying to repair houses that have been damaged or even destroyed as a result of this conflict with actually we are in a race against the clock to help them prepare before the temperature is just below 0 and before winter becomes too harsh. can you paint a picture of what you're expecting for the upcoming winter in ukraine? we know that it's going to be incredibly challenging for civilian communities. several houses have been damaged, have been destroyed, also other critical infrastructures such as health facilities, shows, bridges and energy infrastructure. and i've been to really help. so it makes it very challenging for people to simply live a normal life. and that's why we are, we are costly, same to the parties to this conflict that siblings with structures should be spared for motor yesterday. and we also working with the sibling community grout,

ukraine to help them prepare for this challenging time. as an example, i was recently a couple of a few days ago in the hockey feria and we delivered 6 trucks with our team of repair material through to a village that has been severely had by hostilities recently materials such as bricks and tiles and also isolation mature for windows, such basic things that communities used to make their houses better prepared for the winter. a tremendously important job here doing their asheel to pray, thus personnel, the international red cross in ukraine. thank you so much and please be safe. and you ukrainian refugees may have been the target of a suspected arson attack on a hotel and northeastern germany. police are investigating after a fire rip through the hotel were several refugees were living. 17 people were inside when the blazer wrapped it, but no one was injured. this was the scene in the village of grocer club can dora

on wednesday evening. 14 guests mostly ukrainians, fleeing the war and 3 staff members were inside when the blaze broke out. sin thus it is very scary to think that we all came to this country to find safety and feel protected. and after we thought we were in a safe environment, i told us all of a sudden we had to leave our homes again. one good m of and it is horrible to always have to be scared that you are not safe, agnes disregard bung, local police suspect arson. and say that just days ago, the hotel entrance was defaced with swastikas and other graffiti visiting the scene, the state premier had this to say, this is their product, they will come if arson is confirmed, then we would consider this an inhumane crime cover. in that case, we will do everything in our power because we do not tolerate hatred and violence against people in our country. and certainly not against people who are seeking our

protection by an investigation is already under way into the cause of the fire is being led by a police unit that specializes in politically motivated crimes. energy costs across the european union have risen sharply after russia cut its gas deliveries in response to western sanctions over the war in ukraine. so can the use speak with one voice to address the crisis? european leaders are debating that right now at a summit in brussels. european union leaders are already feeling a winter chill there under extreme pressure to increase the stability of europe's energy supply and to decrease prices while demanding russia withdraw from ukraine and sending enough support for keith to win the war. but european council president sha, michelle says the priority at this summit is finding enough positive energy among the 27 to agree on proposals to lower consumer fuel costs. it should be probably

difficult, but it is very defaulted to do it all to morrow, to center very soon single to throw the timing, to work together. you know, clear the prosecution fund from coming from for our household funds for the businesses across the new, one of the most divisive proposals for cutting consumer costs. putting a ceiling on a price of gas does not yet have berlin's backing, despite a number of other countries pushing for it french president emanuel macklin who supports the price kat proposal says he'll have a word with his german counterpart. it was all g today. we have brought unity between countries and so i and others will be working with trump, the shortest possible. it's not good either for germany or for you. look at the terminal isolated itself. chancellor, olaf shalt says that's hardly the case. we are the biggest supporter, you're paying 26 percent of the budget usually. and we are developing a lot of sorted origin mechanisms. but he didn't indicate

a change of mind on price caps, which hungarian president, victor, or bon is calling economic suicide for his country. the dutch don't like the gas cap concept, either preferring another proposal for countries to buy fuel together. prime minister margareta says this meetings, most likely outcome is a commitment to make further assessments on some options and generally agree on things like joint purchase. but latvian prime minister christianity current says both price caps and joint purchases are necessary. now the war in ukraine is teaching the dangers. also the g. a political dangers of being dependent upon fossil fuels. so we have to take the lessons and work towards the future, and this is what we have to do, but it's not clear the leaders oh feel they have to do it at this summit. he w. brussels correspond, and jack carrick is falling the summit and has more. jack, what are the options and on the table to keep energy prices in check?

what they're discussing is this idea of a joint purchasing platform as we had in terry's report that dollars because it is going to get a bit of a traction there. also talking about a benchmark price for liquefied natural gas. the price of that is being skewed because of the changes in flows between pipelines. ellen g arrives on boats. they're also talking about some pretty technical issues regarding liquidity in the energy market. but the battle royale that we all expected was about the price cap for importing natural gas. and that battle royale is looking like it's really taking shape. they've been talking about this all afternoon and we expect them to be talking all night and perhaps even into the early hours of tomorrow morning. we know that 15 countries are in favor of the price cap, but significantly, germany and other countries like the netherlands, the countries that are considered to be economically sort of frugal. that they are the ones that are basically sort of putting the brakes on this. and it needs

support, it needs the countries to come together and it looks like there has some pretty divisive some pretty big bust ups in the council meeting of the leaders here in brussels. will they be able to overcome their differences? what, what can it take? yeah, that's the, that's the big question of the also that these kind of summits and among the use 27 countries, it's all horse trading. you know, you give us one thing on this and will concede on another issue. but the reality is, is this energy issue is so fundamental for all of the governments soaring costs, the consumers are, you know, really, really significant all across the european union. and indeed, the world i'm think is point towards governments to sort the site. now the problem is, is especially for, for germany in this battle, if they are, is this 20000000000 the euro package for their own energy support, which a lot of the other countries feel is unfair within the single market and any sort

of skewing the market in favor of germany, so it is going to be there's a lot of pressure on chance. the shows up this summit on this issue. we'll have to wait to see how they can get through this. there's been a lot of bilaterals, a lot of discussions on the sidelines, and they'll be a lot of giving and taking they know that they want to to do something, whether they can get the price gap over the line. they're not sure whether they're leaving happened at this summit though. now that you talk about discussion thing in place on the side line, the leaders of germany and france were very much at the heart of this debate. spoke face to face today after all that fiction and merger earlier at what do we know about this meeting? this is exactly it, i think this is one of the, the crux is of this matter because the franco german access in the european union, especially since breaks it has been so fundamental in the 2 countries are on diametrically opposed size of this macro. once the french president mccomb wants the cap shots doesn't want it never had a meeting on the sidelines. the elisa palace released

a statement saying that they encouraged french german ministers to keep on talking with each other. so the next german franco german covenant meeting will be the most ambitious and substantial possible. they talked about energy, they talked about defense. they were meant the to lead is to have a summit next week together, just a big meeting, the 2 of them. but that now has been postponed because of the divisions on this issue. the stuff to get, i have to wait and see whether they can i and any of those light in the big forum of the 27 need is here in brussels today. exciting time in rossville, thank you for breaking it all down for a sec parents. a guitar football world cup starts one month from today despite france being the defending champions. many in france, i boycotting the events because of could tars human rights record. cities such as bordeaux have to sign it. there will be no public dealings, public viewings and the goals celebrations that go with them have become something

of a woke up fixture. but they won't be happening this year in many french cities, including bordeaux, which is boycotting the world cup competition reconstruction. did you feel stud, and there were a lot of irregularities during the construction of the stadiums, there would be more of the cornerstone of a workers even died. who is, audrey don, no davis doesn't conform to our western yet or european values. presidio, the world cup and guitar even more does not respect basic human right in lubbock is picked it really far more toward the duomo. there are no fans, owns a no public broadcasting bordeaux paris marcy and other cities. it kicked off a debate looking to improve. this is ridiculous, it doesn't change anything. if you don't put up a big screen already in the by medical football fans will be able to watch the matches on the small screen in bordeaux. some pub owners have decided to show them after wrestling with their conscience. i don't agree with the work of being held

whereas being out. i think there are a lot of questions needs to be asked about sir fee for the organization, world football in general. but this is a business and people do want to watch 30 only prieto poor. think every person she be able to choose whether to watch or not. and for them to have that choice, someone has dish, or the games that govern this this, he will walk in this part, they are exploring a compromise. during the games, money will be collected for amnesty and greenpeace. but will the person in charge of the city watch the games at home? no surely should annoy won't and you will go, i certainly won't watch the game, so i have to be true to my so object mormon to friends, cities have announced that they will stick to their boycott, even if the french team gets to the final in cutoff and a quick reminder of our top stories today, british prime minister list trust has resigned after just 6 weeks in office or

announcement comes out for a bruising week of you turns on economic, an energy policy and backlash from her own conservative party. her successor will be chosen and a party leadership election set for next week. and president zalinski has asked ukrainians to switch off their electricity for much of today. the measure is in response to russian and tax on your brains energy infrastructure, which have knocked out power in many areas. that you're now, we're into the point where the look at whether nato could be drawn into russia's war in ukraine article for lee. thank you. so much for watching ah, with

who to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. civilian targets and ukraine have come under heavy russian fire, including from so called kamikaze drought. and the west is mounting

a response today on to the point we asked as a war in ukraine escalates. will nato cindy b party to the, to the point d, w. with dynamite and the pillar of state and society. a symbol of arbitrary rule tool in the struggle for justice taxes. in many ways i think taxation is one of the most extreme actions by a government. but it's also the definition of government because without no government, the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of the nation states that their citizens. but what happens when the

power of taxation is undermined? attack on top of the tax on top of the tax. that's the straw that broke the camel's back. i've been renting forever thinking to myself here. when's it all going to come crashing down you pay won't pay. taxation and politics starts october 21st on d. w. winter is approaching in europe and lot of mere approaches. russia is doing what it can to make it an exceptionally difficult one. and ukraine. russian forces have been striking civilian infrastructure, including water supply, power stations, and residential buildings. sometimes using so called the common cause. the.
