massive public debt. but on top of that, she's also having to deal with the issue of storing energy bills which are affecting italian families, but also italian businesses all asking for some kind of help from the government more help. and then of course, you have high inflation and the concern about the war in ukraine and its impact on those energy bills. now of course, there's also the issue of european union money that is supposed to be coming in in terms of the post cobit recovery fund. she'll obviously be hoping to reach out to her european partners, but also to the european union itself to see that she's keeping it really within that realm. she has said that she is pro nieto and pro europe with regard to the issue of ukraine and is expected to continue with the policy the prime minister body of drug. again,

maloney is italy's 1st female prime minister reminders. how did she rise to the top of this far? right? conservative coalition. she's a 45 year old, native of rome as she grew up in the working class neighborhood of got it. but she was a teenage activist, over neo fascist parties, youth wing. so that's where she sort of began her political life if you like. but she went on to lead her own party starting it just 10 years ago. and now back in 2018 in the last election, that policy only got 4 percent of the vote. but in this last election, she got 26 percent, the largest share of votes for any one party. so really we've seen quite a huge job. partly, of course, because she was in the opposition during this broad coalition government under mario druggie. and therefore, she managed to benefit from that position. she has a conservative traditional values and it's tough on illegal immigration. but she

says she is planning to govern for all at east. that is what she has said officially. once she got the job governed for all its early days now, but. but now that she's actually in power. what's the climate among italians? are they feeling buyer's remorse for the hard? right turn. they've made or hope the countries final. finally heading in the right direction. well, those that don't support her, who did not vote for her, they are very concerned about those conservative values that she has on was to have positions on abortion rights on same sex relationships on immigration, those they feel they're concerned that she's going to do, moves that are going to make things harder for those specific categories. although she has said very clearly in the campaign trail that she has no intention to touch the current laws on abortion and on same sex relationships, those who voted for her. they support her ideology or some of them just want

a fresh base, tired of the usual suspects in terms of politics here in italy and she benefited again from that position as an opposition. many italians, though, right now i think i'm very concerned about the colder winter months that are coming up. concerned about those energy bills in boy ukraine, and his mom hoping that she will be able to address that at his, our sima groups of journalists in rural many thanks. let's take a look now. tell me the other stories making news around the world. russian installed authorities in the southern ukrainian city of her son are urging civilians to leave immediately as ukrainian forces advance russian attacks on infrastructure has what have left more than a 1000000 households without electricity. president vladimir zalinski says russia launched another $36.00 missiles overnight. the 3 lumpkins parliament has voted to limit the president's powers. the new law was

a key demand of the protest movement that ousted the former leader earlier this year. new changes also beef up anti corruption power. the chinese communist party has wrapped up it's week long congress by rubber stamping president. she shing ping. he's poised her clenching. 3rd term as a parti chief, making him china's most powerful leader since mel se tongue opening china's 20th communist party congress last weekend. president eden pings set out his vision for the country's future, and implied here to be the one at the helm to make it happen. my only about from ball comrades by new me, the party has made spectacular achievements through its great endeavors over the past century. the yet sure, and our new endeavors will surely lead to more spectacular achievements. but

china's seemingly infallible leader had humble beginnings. she was born in beijing in 1953, the son of a high ranking party official. but in the 19th sixty's, his father fell fowl of chairman mao and the communist leadership and was thrown into prison. the young she was sent to the countryside for political reeducation and hard labor for 7 years. but instead of turning against the communist party, he embraced it and worked hard to rise to the top. in november 2012, the relatively unknown, she jin pen was named general secretary of the communist party. a few months later, he succeeded huge in town as president of the people's republic of china. and by the end of, she's 1st 5 year term, the communist party congress voted to have his philosophy written into the constitution. the only other leader to have the same honor is the father of chinese

communism mouser dung. since taking office, she has set about pursuing what he hailed as the chinese dream to turn china into the world's dominant power. under she, china has become more assertive on the international stage, fueled by growing patriotism at home. much of it based around teaching ping's image as china's strong man. but she has also overseen increased limitations on freedoms, expanding online censorship, and cracking down on opposition, voices, and legal documents, links she directly to human rights abuses against the muslim minority, weakest. in 2018, the to term limits on the presidency was removed. thanks to flee, allowing she to remain in power for light me jubilee. for more i am

joined by d. w. china analysts, clifford kuhn and clifford. the 2300 delegates at congress voted today unanimously to basically endorse, you know, she's leadership at the core of this party. what happens next? well, now we see the she, jim ping era, really come into play. we've, he's had 10 years of, of a supposedly transition and in some ways and, but now he's facing some real challenges. he's got some real head winds with the economy at china's international position is under more scrutiny than it's ever been. so this, this congress, which is pure theater because we knew in advance pretty much what was going to happen is going to lay that the basis installing him at the core of the party as you say. and it will put them in a position where you can now take the next step for the, for the communist party. as you know, there's a little drama there today. i mean, the former chinese president in huge intel were seen being escorted out of the congress rather unexpectedly. what do we make of this?

well, this is extraordinary. i mean, this is a leader who lead china for 10 years. he was suddenly just taken out clearly against his will. there's a suggestion that maybe he was on, well, but given that nothing happens by chance in, at these events, you sort of wonder, you know, was this, it was a, certainly a public humiliation is the question of whether it happened on purpose. we saw that he touched the coach young on the show to the former premier, the now ad going premier. some people have suggested that this is actually a faction fight playing. i was in front of the whole world that this is a real way of shipping showing that he's in charge now and that the old faction, which includes huge in town and also the coach, young who's leaving and that they're no longer in the driving seat that now this is really the, she jumping era and how did she apply that leadership over the course of this event? well, basically what he did was he's sort of entrenched and enshrined many of the things that he's already done. a lot of this is communist party marxist lennon,

a rhetoric that's very hard to decode. ultimately it's about about the symbolism of the event and showing that he's in control, but also structurally he has imposed his faction. i was at this event 5 years ago when the former leader young to me and looked at his watch 10 times during that as she jumping speech. there's no way that was going to happen this time around. this was all about she, jim ping showing that he was the person in command. and that ultimately from here on in this is the, you know, it's his men and they are all men even though 30 percent of the commons party female. there's no women in any senior leaders ship positions. so what we're seeing now is, is the she jumping era really going into overdrive and it becomes a question of how we deal with these challenges facing the party d, w, china analyst clifford kuhn in many, many things. clifford well
