ah ah ah, this is due to the news life from berlin, more political chaos in the u. k. as a prime minister steps down just after 6 weeks. this trust resigns as leader of the conservative party with spec nations about who could succeed her. many wonder if her predecessor could make a comeback. also coming up with tackling europe's energy crunch, the war, new crane has sent fuel prices soaring. you leaders are holding a summit to address the crisis. ah.

i'm heal ahamed. welcome to the program. offer a turbulent 6 weeks in office, british prime minister, less trust has stepped down. it comes after a bruising week of you turns on economic and energy policy and a backlash from her own conservative party. her reservation comes as now. this is now seen as the shortest serving prime minister in the u. k. after weeks of chaos at 10 downing street, a moment of clarity was trust, spends forensic 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 that 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 a disastrous budget from the no former chancellor, quasi quart ng spelled, the beginning of the end. high tax rates are home secretary swell. braverman walked after a row over immigration, and then a vote to bon fracking, played out amid chaotic scenes sealed, trust his fate. until, 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 ministry or red box. i think it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because for the damage they have done 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. the tax got gone, so we call have a revolving door of chaos. we can't 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 of all rubbish. none of them fit for the job. she's a think i to day and certainly the policy decisions that she might let none of the british prequalified he lives in this country. we have to nominate to that despite now we have non elected government, fact 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 as well among the front runners, the regime. o. well,

let's get more in this with c w is emily go dean with me in the studio. so what are the next steps for the coming days, emily? yes. so this will be in front of a thick 6 week long, a sort of a canvass, the race. they will. this will be pack choosing a new leader will be packed into about a week. and if a candle has to be nominated, he needs he or she needs about a 100 votes from ministers, a parliament from the conservative party. whoever gets a 100 votes, so to speak, on 100 nominations goes to the next phase. i'm at the moment we have about 356 members of parliament. torre members of parliament. so a maximum of 3 cats will be able to put forth. and if we have in the next round, if 3 can actually emerge from this 1st round of nominations, then it will go and the person with the fewest boats, so to speak. he will be dropped out and then it's sort of,

it comes down to 2. and then whoever gets the most votes in the end, but he will become the next leader of the conservative party and thereby the prime minister and all of this. so nominations will have to be made by monday, coming monday. and then by next friday, the new conservative leader and the new prime minister should be picked. so who would be the candidate that the party could get behind will if you look at poll that moment, and then it's just that that could potentially be where she cynic, he is able to, at some point at this point, gonna sort of make the most boats in a way he was less stresses contender and i like in the, in the leadership race over the summer. and he has experience and government. he used to be the former chancellor, but he's not alone. right. so there are other candidates, like ben wallace, the former, or the current defense minister, and penny mordant, who is the leader of the house of commons. although she doesn't have a lot of government experience. so there's that,

that others have criticized and you know, the hash tag has been trending. bring back boris on line. so a burst on them as a panel on the talks, but nobody has actually confirmed that he is real, be running or not, or agreement that jacob res mog, the current business, secretary, business, and energy secretary. he's been apparently garnering support for him, but i'm his, you know, he is involved in other issues at the moment, upon written 3 committees looking into whether he misled parliaments over the summer. so i'm okay it's, it's going to be a type or an interesting in the tight race attention, a tight race and a lot to look forward to in the next coming days. emily gordon. thank you so much for keeping an eye on that story for us. well, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world firefighters in washington state. i tried to contain a wildfire that has forced thousands of people to flee the nokia creek fire has

grown in size since early this week. dozens of wildfires have hit western us dates in recent years. as climate change worsens. drought conditions were clashes between columbia white police and indigenous protesters in the capitol bogota have left more than a dozen offices injured. the indigenous people displaced by the countries armed conflict. we're demonstrating against over crowding and poor conditions in a city shelter. no energy costs across the european union is rising off to russia, cut its gas deliveries in response to western sanctions over the war in ukraine. so can the you 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 fairly difficult, but it is very defaulting to do it all to morrow, to center very soon single to throw the timing, to work together. clear the project is in fact from millington for our household funding for the businesses across the new, one of the most divisive proposals for cutting consumer costs. putting a ceiling on the 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 over g. today we have brought unity between countries and so i and others will be working with chancellor short response because it's not good either for germany or for you to 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 geopolitical dangers of being dependent upon fossil fuels. so we have to take the lessons and work towards the

future. one, this is what we have to do, but it's not clear the leaders all feel they have to do it at this summit. linda did have these, jack park is falling. that's on that for us in brussels. so jack, what are the options on the table to keep energy prices in tech? well, it's a serious of marathon tools here in brussels. we know that the leaders are still talking about this energy issue. there are a myriad of different options they're trying to talk through, but the 2 most significant at the moment are the price cap and also the questions of a how that price cap should work. we understand that the leaders are really getting into this now. and actually the discussion that they've been talking about is capping the price of gas for imports. they're going to be used to price that to produce electricity. we now understand that the leaders are actually now talking about a different way of doing that and not just the, the, the price that it,

that it costed to for the electricity. but actually that they will start looking at copying the benchmark price. so that is something that is changing within the document. they're starting to talk about that. and actually the understanding is that the leaders themselves are in this meeting, starting to pen the wording of this, which is very, very uncommon. normally, a lot of that wording is done in advance of the summit. the other thing that they're, that they're looking at is a voluntary purchasing scheme. so for the e u countries to all be able to purchase gas together, there was talk about making that mandatory, the hungarians, for instance, we're very much against that. we're now hearing out of the meeting that it looks like that that scheme, which is a key part of this summit, is actually going to come out and be voluntary. so countries will contribute to it and join it if they so wish. under damped germany seems to be against the energy price cap just explained to us why that is. yeah, the germans, a as a leading the group of countries that are most against the, including others,

the netherlands, the countries that are generally considered to be kind of economically frugal. but there's also a lot of what they're concerned about is that if they cut the price that will increase usage, which will mean that there will be more gas being used to have the inverse effects of what they, they needed to if the prices are lower than people can buy more of the germans, though, or under quite a lot of pressure for a 200000000000 euro. a package that the chancellor left shows a nice in order to preserve germany's own energy market. there's a lot of anger around the e u. countries that is skewed and is skewing the energy market towards german favor in the european union. so it's been a really, really tense meeting among the leaders here in brussels like that. is it of these jack park in brussels, ross? thank you jack. and just a short while ago ukrainian president vladimir lensky addressed the summit warning

of a potential large scale disaster at a damn in southern ukraine. lensky said the russian forces had said minds africa kafka hydro electric plant near the city of care son. he warned that the city could be flooded and more than 80 nearby supplements destroyed if the dam is demolished, villain the while. it comes with russia in the middle of an assault on ukraine's energy infrastructure. ukraine also accuses moscow of using iranian drones to hit other civilian targets as well. monuments destroyed windows of homes, blown in residence of the southern ukrainian city. of nikolai, of a once again picking up the pieces after the city was hit by russian drones and missiles ukraine accuses russia of using hundreds of iranian drones in its attacks in recent weeks. that something both moscow anti ran adamantly deny was like bush,

but an unfortunate gaff from a russian military expert who didn't realize he was on air suggests otherwise. well, we'll know the drills are iranian, that the government has not admitted to it. with you from fisher, with russia's progress on the battlefield, stalling moscow has stepped up a tax on infrastructure like power plants. ukraine's president has accused his russian counterpart of wanting ukrainians to freeze to death over the winter, and appealed to citizens to curtail their energy use in cave. the new energy savings guidelines are already being followed. more than half of the trolley buses are no longer running. we switched off all electric appliances at home. the new guidelines have to be taken very seriously. so far we've not used the heating ukraine says russia has destroyed over 30 percent of its power stations in just

a week. if that continues ukrainians are going to be in for a very cold dark winter. this is denise live from berlin. stick around because coming up next is that business with kate? i'll see you soon after that. take care bye. ah. people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away and the water families playing with demonstrate people fleeing extreme drought. ross getting 200 people around the world more than 300.
