a tory environmental is in danger. starts october 29th on d, w. ah, this is, these are the news live from berlin, more political chaos in the u. k. as a prime minister steps down after just 6 weeks less, trust resigns, as leader of the conservative party with regulations about who could succeed harm. many wonder if her predecessor could make a comeback. also coming up,

tackling europe's energy crunch. the war in ukraine has sent fuel prices soaring. ear leaders are holding a summit to address the crest. ah, am hill mohammed, welcome to the program. after a turbulent 6 weeks in office, you k prime minister less trust has stepped down. it comes after a number of you turns on economic and energy policy and a backlash from her own conservative party. this makes her the shortest serving prime minister in british history. after weeks of chaos at 10 downing street, a moment of clarity, las trust ends 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

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 a disastrous budget from the no former chancellor, quasi quart ng spelled, the beginning of the end high tax rates are home secretary, she well braverman walked after a row over immigration, and then a vote to bon fracking. plato to mid chaotic scenes sealed, trust his fate. hill on ha. despite her own failure to vote, she won the ballots, but many tory and he's rebelled amid widespread anger that such a regime was ever approved by the party. i am, i'm 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. if it was worth it for the minister red box, i think it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because from the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary tore paul anger hasn't been confined to the conservative spot. there are coals from opposition and voters alike for the general election. the tax got gone, so we called have a revolving door of chaos. we can have another experiment at the top of the tory party. that is a little tentative 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 are face rubbish and will rubbish. none of them fit for the job. she's of these i to day and certainly the policy decisions that she might let none of the british people also any of those in this country. we have to nominate to that despite now we have a non elected government democracies, etc. that's a trust,

says her successor is to be voted by the party. by the end of next week, with boris johnson's former chancellor wishes to knock a critic of trust his budget plan among the front runners, richie auto for. well, let's get more on this with d, w 's, emily gordon, in the studio with me. so what are the next steps for the coming days? yes, sir, so far, no general election has been announced. instead, the conservatives will pick a new leader. the candidates who want to succeed less trust, have to ganeth support. they only got a few days to go to support and and to be nominated. and they need a 100 votes from a members of parliament, conservative members of parliament and, and saying it's no empowerment at the moment. we've got about 350, but more conservative numbers of government contracts, members of parliament, sorry. and so a maximum that means that

a maximum of 3 candidates can actually emerge from this 1st round nominations. if it's, if 3 actually emerge, then the person with a few slight votes eliminated. when you have 2 candidates, then there, there will be another vote. and the person and then toward the toward the conservative members of parliament will give their preferred option. but this option of things to glass candidates will also then be taken to the members of the conservative party. he will then be able to vote on mine which power which, which, which personally prefer. and that's how the leader, the new prime minister eventually will be elected. and all of this, you know, so the nomination has to be done by monday. and the election will actually then happen by next friday. so by next friday we will know he will be the next prime minister of the u. k. so who would be the candidate at the party could get behind what's going to be the very big question. the polls currently look like she's,

you know, actually leave them and he's so far as able to looks as if you can go to the most support. i'm shooting that can self ran for child run for some instead of the summer he was against his trust. he has experience and government as well as the former chancellor. and he also saw the loss of the court over the course of these last 6 weeks. that what he said about this trust economic policies, they would be detrimental actually came true. so he, you know, that also gives them support in terms of his capabilities and his competence. and then of course, what we're seeing on him as well or his are, there are women that am penny mordant. and could also be a front runner in news. and in this, in a sort of election process, many election process and she is there, she is the leader of the house of commons. she's not very well known. she also doesn't have a lot of government experience. so it is said that, you know,

because she is a little bit on tested, it might be a risk including her own and, and we also have, obviously boss johnson as a hash tag trending online at the moment saying, bring back boris. and you said to be on his way back from his car be a holiday. so that could also be an option. but keep in mind, boss johnson is now also, he's still being investigated by a parliamentary committee. whether he misled how's that comes over the summer. so it's going to be an interesting race. and also the biggest question will be, you know, who can actually unite this party. that is so, so divided ok. that is that emily gaudy and thank you so much. well, a 2nd look at the mother stories making news around the world firefighters in washington state are trying to contain a wildfire that has forced thousands of people to flee. the lekia greek fire has grown in size since early this week. dozens of wildfires have hit west of your

us with one voice to address the crisis while 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's very defaulting today or tomorrow to center varies from single to throughout the timing, to act together. you know, kind of prosecuting this from donnington for all household families. and 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 day today we have brought unity between countries and so i and others will be working with travelers schultz fuss 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 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 is a dangerous, also the geo, political 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, that it's not clear the leaders all feel they have to do it at the summit. allotted up is jack park is following the summit in brussels and he is more on what options e leaders have to keep energy prices in tech. well, it's a serious set 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 that they're trying to talk talk through, but the 2 most significant at the moment are the price cap. and also the questions of 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, 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 the clients present. jeremy zalinski address the summit as well warning of a potential large scale disaster at a damn in southern ukraine. savanski said that russian force was had set minds at the cove cott hydro electric plant near the city of care song. he warned that the city could be flooded and more than 80 near by settlements destroyed. if the dam is demolished to the while. it comes with russia in the middle of an assault on ukraine's energy infrastructure. ukraine accuses moscow of using iranian drones to hit other civilian targets as well. monuments destroyed windows of homes, blown in residents 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 and to run adamantly deny. 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 in full year of 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 appeal to citizens to curtail their energy use in cave, the new energy saving 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 watching d w and his size cumberland stick round up next is stuck for all season. imagine so many portions of love us heard out in the world climate to think off the story. this is my place the way from just one week how much was going to really get.
