9:01 pm
also coming up to night. russia claims that heave is planning to exploit a so called a dirty bomb on ukrainian territory, but pretty president zalinski says it's moscow that may want to use radioactive weapons. plus the horn of africa suffering its worst drought in for decades. parts of northern can yet have not seen any rain in years to night. we look at health communities. there are coca ah, i'm bri, golf is good to have you with us. and on this monday we are beginning with yet another new leader in the u. k. britain's 3rd prime minister in a year, a political chaos is now promising a new era of stability. former finance minister rishi soon act today gained the backing of his conservative party to win the leadership of that party. his predecessor less trust. she had to stand down with financial markets,
9:02 pm
rejected her economic plans. soon. next, 1st task will be to restore confidence in the u. k. government finances this she saw not received a warm welcome. he's cheered and greeted at the conservative party headquarters. sooner we take over the top job from live just who quit just after a few weeks in office, but so not faces tough, talented such as tackling throating energy and food prices and a deep political crisis. you will be the 3rd prime minister this year. the united kingdom is a great country, but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. we now need stability and unity. and
9:03 pm
i will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together as finance minister. so knock aunt pre, it's for supporting the lead off workers and businesses during the pandemic. but as one of the wealthiest politicians in the u. k. he has also been criticized for his lavish lifestyle, especially at a time when ordinary people are struggling. but so knox victory is also historic. he is the 1st british prime minister of south asian origin. his also the 1st hindu to become the country leader and the youngest. the yuki has seen in 200 years of wardell. i'm joined by nicholas allen. he's a professor of politics at the royal holloway university in london. it's good to have you on the program with us. let me ask you, considering what we've seen in these past few months, is there reason to believe tonight that richie sooner will
9:04 pm
b u. k prime minister for longer than 45 days. i think there's a good chance that he will last longer than this trust. it's almost impossible for him not to last longer. i think the likelihood of him inflicting economic catastrophe on himself. and then he'd ask him to happen, so the, the so conflicted prompt hymns at this trustedvoter thought upon himself. the editor friendship thus known can happen. and the only thing that sin accounts to his advantage is i think b n p is in the conservative party just know they are now in the last chance. lu, they'll give him a little bit of a little bit of an easy passage, least to start with. so i think he should be on horse last a bit of trust either. only 7 weeks ago, a britain's conservatives they chose lives drew us over richie sooner and yet at the time that he lost that race a, he was warning bet this many budget which we,
9:05 pm
we know, trust proposed could have dire consequences. and that is exactly what happened. he could have said to day, i told you so. but he did not what message does that said? i think he has a difficult path to tread his criticisms, of less trust his economic policies, the program on which she was actually elected by consent to party members. and he doesn't even need to point out that she got that wrong because everyone can see it . and already the 2nd chance move it is trust a point. and 2nd, finance minister jerry hunt reversed those policies. so the sooner doesn't need to say, i told you say, because everyone knows that he told us so. so i think come in that sense in pursuit of unity within the party, who to speak very softly, shall we say in 7 criticise has been said yet, and pickup on the word on afford. soon act is fantastically wealthy. he's one of
9:06 pm
the richest people in the u. k. a. he was involved in his own tax scandal earlier this year. is there going to be a large chasm for him to bridge between himself and ordinary britons right now? who many who are just, i'm struggling. you know, to deal with inflation i prefer all old politician, bristol conservative politicians, a probably perceive more or less as being out of touch with revised to. so in the sense he's not in any different position to any one else. clearly he is enormous. well, is something that's his opponents might want to use their advantage in terms of criticising highlights is, highlighting, is being out of touch. but i don't think he perceives going to be in more out of touch with what though to say then sailors trust not least is he is a constituency. m. p. he is expected. does keep in touch with his constituents in
9:07 pm
his constituency party. so he's going to have his thing on the pulse as much or as little as any, any other concern to minister nicholas alan, professor of politics at the royal holloway university of london. we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. thank you. thanks. ukrainian. it's western allies have hit back at russian glades that keith is planning to detonate. what is known as a dirty bomb or a radioactive weapon on ukrainian territory? now rushes defense minister. you see him right there. he told britain, france in turkey, that moscow is concerned that the situation in ukraine is, quote, deteriorating rapidly. you crates, president zelinski to day warning that russia is manufacturing a pretext to escalate the conflict a little, you know, she's when the rational minister of defense sets up phone calls and rings,
9:08 pm
foreign ministers with stories about a so cold, dirty nichoela bomb. everyone understands everything very well, mean daughter, little. they understand who is the source of everything dirty that can be imagined in this war? it russia calls and says that ukraine is allegedly preparing some things. it means one thing. russia has already prepared it. i believe that now the well should react as hotly as possible. what you should a, he will ukraine says that his forces have shot down more than 200 iranian made drones in the last few weeks. now both iran and russia deny that these kamikaze drones used in moscow's ariel bombardments have come from iran. but the west says there's mounting evidence that this is the case. use of these kinds of drones would violate and un resolution curbing iranian weapons exports. this is the scene that ukrainians have grown familiar with
9:09 pm
a kamikaze drone flying over their heads in the center of the capital key. if that police try to shoot down with machine guns before it crashes into buildings. though iran denies selling such drones to russia, key of says moscow resorted to iran, made a head 136 drones to attack ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructures. the unmanned aircraft is one of a series of drones made by a run with a wing span of 2 and a half meters. it can carry 40 kilograms of explosives. it's classified as the light ring munition, as it can stay in the air for hours until a target is found. then it zooms in becoming a missile that destroys itself on impact. military experts say they've been rebranded, guaranteed by russia and used extensively to carry out strikes across ukraine, such as here in the north eastern city of harkey. compared to miss ives, the she had drones are cheap,
9:10 pm
$20000.00 euros per unit. ukraine says russia has ordered 2000 more. they use represents a new challenge to ukraine's air defense. even if they report having shot down of $220.00 drones over the last month. the kamikaze type flies low can be sent a low nor in swamps and can cause considerable damage. are going to go now to our very own russia analyst, roman country rancor room. it's good to see you. let me get your insides here. your read on this. why is russian making these claims about a dirty bomb now? well, there are 2 possible explanations. one is russia is seeking contact with western defense ministers and is actually trying to negotiate some kind of a ceasefire because the rational needs a couple of weeks now for the mobilization that is conducting now to actually have an effect on the battlefield. and that is why russia probably decided this is my
9:11 pm
assumption to signal a nuclear danger, and it is always something where western countries respond quickly. so we've seen conversations, we'll probably see more of them in the coming days. and we should actually follow the story and maybe listen to this on what they are discussing. i think they are probably discussing, not just that are those accusations over dirty bomb, but maybe they are discussing weapons deliveries to a crane. i think russia is trying to put pressure on the west, not to deliver certain types of weapons and of course they are pressing for kind of a cease fire on rush in terms of course. the 2nd reason could be just propaganda, and you've seen something like that in early spring. russia was claiming that you bring was developed in biological weapons, the same general responsible in russia for nuclear weapons and biological and chemical weapons. ebc weapons. he claimed that ukraine was working on
9:12 pm
a secret program to develop biological weapons for, for the united states or elements of it. and it was supposed to use migratory birds to deliver those weapons. and those biological weapons should act or should be effective against this certain it. so some very strange things happening in motion . strange in the let me ask you what we know about what's happening on the actual battle field. there is a new commander, the russian commander in charge of this war. yes, i'm has that changed the situation of the battle field for the soldiers? well, i'm on the battlefield. i would say no. the fighting continues. very intensive. fighting in the front line is more than 1000 miles long. what has changed the attacks on the ukrainian civilian and infrastructure against the power grid? and i, we've seen pictures of the grant and capital key on my that monday evening,
9:13 pm
almost completely dark. and those pictures go viral and it is very impressive, so it gives you a sense what it's like to be in ukraine. our is no, no power, but the spiritually a grain of many ukrainians is unbroken. this is what you read on the social media and what you hear from people when you talk to them. so i'm not much change there. what makes me a bit, i wouldn't say, well, i'm trying to follow the stories that we were expecting this week or the end of october rush to conduct a nuclear exercise of its nuclear forces. just like the nato is conducting an exercise with the, you know, some planes or fighter jets, maybe who would be able to carry nuclear weapons without those weapons. but still, there is an exercise of nato and there was expected an exercise in russia. so we haven't seen that so far, that could come ok, d w's, russia. analysts room and going to wrinkle with analysis tonight is always roman. thank you very much. thank you. now we want to pick up the topic,
9:14 pm
ukraine, iran in those drones. i'm joined now by art scene id me an expert on iran and a defense insecurity analyst with the pro is real think. take the washington institute for near east policy in washington d. c. a. it's good to have you with us tonight. moscow denying that iran is involved, tehran has denied it. do you have any doubt that it's iranian drones that are causing terror in ukraine? now i have 0 down that they are iranian drones. stats are, are causing gas such terrain in ukrainian re earliest they are, they are shot, had go on $31.00 and shy and want her to 6. and they are even m still maintaining and keeping the original paint scheme of figuring in minor g c. they were recently used these drones in military drills and our bunks forecast footage out
9:15 pm
on them. i've been, can launched from the back up the dumb track. so there's little doubt that dirty are you and your indians and something they have designed and on produced is throw as we didn't get an i to, to deliver them to their proxy hitting their region. already they have been used by d, rocky proxies, shiite militias, and they have any moves by a who sees 111. and i'm sure that has been by living and also have them in their thoughts. so. busy so, so didn't you, you cannot see any, anywhere like anything like it made in iran and repeated aren't. and you brought part of these drugs. many of them are outsourced from form, from many countries, what they are designed on producing their own. well, iran has really no considerable history of disputes with ukraine. so, you know, as an outside looking at this in a, you get the question, what is in this then 40 ron?
9:16 pm
well, i think iran is very keen to our project itself as an equal partner to russia. it's, it's larger neighbor day day. want to be considered a strategic partner, the one to be seen as an at the partner who is russia in their struggle against the union hold or warrant as the half of them repeatedly and dod, 8 to one, to deter, as, as they claimed, what progression of of nation, so now toward their borders in your list so. so i think that there is an ideological factor under dan. any other i like financial or any other reasons for, for, for that, for iran to deliver, does drones and probably in the future surface and surface missiles, russia. and also they are, they all are, are promoting their own and military entrepreneurs as, as, as opposed to churches,
9:17 pm
for example, which he, i think is the company a competent jury duty. and when we think about the, the ramifications of what is happening right now, it appears that a bronze involvement could also be dragging israel into this conflict in you rain and we, in ukraine. we know that israel have tried to stay neutral to try to stay out of it, but it is now saying it will deliver maybe some weapons to ukraine. are you concerned that what we're seeing right now is just one event after another leading to what could be a possible new proxy war between iran, israel, the us i think is israel will remain cautious because of that very delicate situation in syria and the balance of power in syria, israel does not want to infuriate and russia, and today they will remain cautious or not, no matter how many on what types of rainy movements. arden divert as your crane,
9:18 pm
i think the main body that can provide assistance to ukraine is the west. is a nato and i, and we read israel, i think the already, they have been providing some intelligence that they have on, on us a particular types of iranian jose to, to, cranium. other than that, i don't think systems like iron don't would be of any use for ukraine against the ring yet. drones are probably other systems won't be more lovable more, more helpful. like david this link, but i'm there, they're happy concerned. but bye bye. by the way, these read the side that such systems are marked are captured by to watches, day to date. they will to build their secrets and, and that those to chris will be passed on to doing. so i think, i mean, israel mute will remain cautious. may i ask you to just that the fact that i'm israel has been so cautious here. is it because it,
9:19 pm
it really makes an effort to have good relations with russia because of the number of jews who were in russia. i mean, is that the connection there that it wants to, you know, not endanger by having quotes or taja by helping ukraine is, is that what this is about? i to yeah, i did 0. yes. i think israel is concerned that the dives are, you know, dan, dan. now russians in syria are our mom, tolerating to some sort of a day. he's really her stretch in syria which are crucial for, for keeping the iranians at may in syria. and i know yesterday we are to report that they have managed to destroy iranians in stock parcel weapons in syria to, to, to at least 90 percent of toys this like why and so did. there has been very important strategy campaign,
9:20 pm
but he's really in syria and israel is do not want to jeopardize that by by providing more assertive helps to create mr. know the me, we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. so thank you. we're the horn of africa is suffering its worst drought in 40 years. 4 consecutive rainy seasons have not come in northern kenya, making it one of the driest regions on the continent is particularly tough for communities which rely on their livestock for a living. as the land is become even more barren, hundreds of thousands of animals have died and with their livelihoods gone. the situation for local people. well, it's becoming very, very dire, especially in kenya's for connor county. as d w failings, morning reports to night. oh, felina taylor has 4 children of her own and also takes care of her sister's kids. but with a joke, she has been unable to feed the large family at times,
