ah, ah, there are 2 new leaders in europe, italy's prime minister, georgia, bologna and u. k. prime minister rishi soon act. now upon 1st inspection, these 2 could not be more different soon as a champion of british conservatism. maloney at the head of a far right coalition with neo fascist routes. and yet they both signal changing dimes and a changing of the guard. maloney is italy's 1st female prime minister soon act. britton's 1st non white leader. a new generation coming to power facing challenges that their parents could never have imagined. i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day ah,

our country is facing a profound economic crisis, but the environment in which this government will be operating, it is complicated. i understand how difficult this moment is geopolitical tensions and energy crisis. a dampening types have a place pandemic, economic recovery. this government will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability. every level also coming up here in berlin, the world's leading economies have come together to discuss rebuilding ukraine. a joint effort to pay the bill created by vladimir put what is a stake here? nothing less than creating a new marshal plan for the 21st century. the recovery, reconstruction of modernization of ukraine would indeed be a challenge for generations to our viewers watching on p. b

us in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome that we begin the day with the new u. k prime minister and his promise to fix the mistakes made by those who came before him to day richie sudak officially took over. as britons prime minister and quickly began setting up a new cabinet priority. number one, sending a strong message of stability. to do that, the new prime minister in his 1st public address pointed out why stability needed restoring in the 1st place, he pointed the finger, albeit politely to his predecessors lives truss and boys johnson. now, before that happened, liz trust herself delivered her departing remarks from number 10 downing want you to take a listen to part of what she said, followed by the new prime minister rishi. sooner from my time as prime minister, i am more convinced soneta that we need to be both and confront the challenges that

we face. democracies must be able to deliver to the right people. we must be able to outcompetes multi traffic regimes, web pile allies in the hands. and if he, i want to pay tribute to my predecessor, let's trust. she was not wrong to want to improve growth in this country. it is a noble aim and i admired her restlessness to create change. but some mistakes were made. not born of ill will or bad intentions. quite the opposite. in fact, but mistakes. none the less ever more now i'm joined by quinton peel. he's a veteran journalist of u. k. politics. he is now a fellow at chatham health and international affairs. think tank in the u. k. quinton, it's good to see you. well, there's so much going on where to begin,

but maybe we can start with on the promises we're getting from this new prime minister soon act today vowed to fix the mistakes that he said were made by his predecessor lives truss. have we seen signs of his repair work yet? well, the financial markets do appear to be somewhat reassured by his success in becoming prime minister and the fact that he's kept the same finance minister, the chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt. having said that, he's got a mountain to climb, and he's got a very divided party, which he's trying to, to re unites under his leadership. and so everything we've seen today has been a fairly desperate efforts, i think, by re she soon act to show that she can keep both the right and the left of the party in his on side with his government. so he's been desperately trying to

appoint the right people to get the right mixture. it's going to be very difficult because this is a party that is at war with itself, alex and apart from live trust. the do prime minister today also mentioned boards. johnson in his 1st address to the public. i want you just to take a listen to a part of that speech. i will always be grateful, devoris johnson, for his incredible achievements as prime minister and i treasure his born and generosity of spirit. and i know he would agree that the mandate, my party owned in 2090 is not the sole property of any one individual. it is a mandate that belongs to and unites all of them. l. quinton, my read on that was this boris. the conservative party,

one big in 2019 the voters gave a mandate to the party. they did not give a mandate to a president of the united kingdom. am i reading that correctly? that certainly. what richie sooner wants people to think he is desperate to avoid any suggestion that he should allow a general election to take place. because if it did, the conservative party would be absolutely hammered according to the opinion polls their way behind at the moment. so that's what he's got to avoid. so what he's saying is it wasn't baris johnson's mandate that he won in 2019. it was a conservative party mandate and they therefore he claims it lays his claim to that . but it says there is no constitutional way that he can be forced to have a general election. but the truth is that having had no fewer than 3 prime

ministers in a period of about 7 weeks makes the conservative party look a shambles. and an awful lot of people are saying that the only way to give credibility to a new government would be to stand for a general election. and i think everything that richie sooner has been doing today has been trying to demonstrate that he actually has a genuine mandate to be the new prime minister. and i wonder when you consider that and you consider the realities that this new prime minister faces if soon act is he condemned to be a caretaker prime minister if you will for the next 2 years. knowing that when voters do go to the polls again, that unless things change, they probably will kick out the tours. it would take a small miracle if to save him, i think because the states that the party is in now than more than 30 percentage

points behind the labor party in the post, the lowest that they've ever been in living memory. so either they really are in a difficult position and everything we know about the state of the economy, about inflation that its worst level for 40 years, about a slump in foreign investment coming into the country. about all the damage that breaks it has done to the country quite apart from cove it and the war in ukraine and all those things mean that it's going to be a real uphill struggle for him to fight an election in 2 years time. and when it equate, let me ask you, what do we see when we, when we see this new prime minister? he is the 1st on british prime minister, non white british prime minister. but he's also incredibly wealthy man. and i'm wondering, is there is there 8 today? a he's been trying to with his words today to say, i do understand your pain. it's

a little bit of a tall order given that he is married to the daughter of probably the wealthiest entrepreneur in india, m e. so he is a very wealthy man, and he's made some foolish comments over the last couple of years, which suggests that he's out to touch. having said that, i think the fact that he is a british asian, his grandparents were immigrants to the united kingdom. i think on the whole that plays in his favor, but it's a, it's a narrow balance. i think there are, after all, there is quite a strong anti immigrant, anti foreign, a tendency that actually was the tendency that voted for brick set. so he's got to somehow and he's got to balance this i think on the whole the, the positive reaction is the 1st one we've seen today. that is the 1st man of indian origin ever to be prime minister in britain. quin p. o helping us understand

this whirlwind week of politics in the u. k. quicken, as always, thank to ah, will another major european con country. italy also has a new leader who gave her 1st policy statement in parliament today. georgia. maloney is italy's 1st woman prime minister and also the country's 1st leader from a far white party since ward war to go on. his speech was closely watched for clues about policy changes under her new coalition government. and she affirmed italy strong support for ukraine, but acknowledged that the energy crisis resulting from russia's more would damp and the country's economic outlook. bologna also said that her government will work towards stopping migrant votes from setting out from north africa. on just last week, a recording emerged from maloney's coalition partner, silvio berlusconi,

in which he boasted about his personal friendship with russian president vladimir putin. the new prime minister to de salt in her speech to dispel any doubts about rome's commitment to keep it. i have one kid, i certainly will continue to be a reliable hot and i we didn't maintain. but supposing that braden training people who opposed to russia invasion, it was just even to pieces blackmail on, energy would not solve the problem. it would make it laugh. i think the way to fed the demand was 3 days a week out of correspondence. him a good to is following the story for us tonight in rome seem it's good to have you back with this. then the prime minister, georgia maloney is a she comes from a far right euro skeptic party, a coalition with neo fascist roots. she says that europe is watching her closely. so what did you make of the tone of her speech today? well, i think it was really a combative and very resolute speech on her. at times,

even emotional, particularly when she talked about the fact that she was the 1st woman prime minister, the 1st female to take on such a role. and it also when she remembered the humble route that she came from, she grew up in a working class neighborhood of got it, but they like it in rome. and when she talked about those things, she got quite emotional. but overall, i think she struck the right know, in terms of reassuring a european allies, and she said she was pro nato. she's a 100 percent behind it. she would support the support you rules, but making changes where she feels it hasn't been working for a long time, but being part of the european family and also that sounds of being pro ukraine when it came to her neo fascist roots. she was also very clear saying that she was always, again, any kind of a regime and that would include fascism as well. you know,

i want to pick up on the topic of ukraine. again, you know, there been concerns and brussels other capitals around the you about of this, this new government, italy and its commitment to backing ukraine. but especially after this leakage that we had of comments about putin from silvio berlusconi or all 3 coalition partners, are they all 3 firmly committed to protecting and supporting you? great. well, that is the big question. you're absolutely right with the bombshell audio tapes in which he seemed to talk about recently exchanging gifts with the russian president and even criticizing the ukrainian leaders, the lensky that really didn't bode well for the coalition. and let's not forget other coalition partner, but to yourself, any of the lead party has been known to express that variation for putting in the past. he's also question the role of sanctions. seeing that in the long run it

might put italians more than actually damage the russians. and so there is some question on that front. but miss maloney, for her part has made it very clear. anyone who is part of this government has to be supporting the ukrainians and if they are not, they cannot be part of the government at the risk of for me, no government. so really at this point, each one, each member of this coalition needs the other in order to go forward and govern it . as we saw earlier this evening, they all voted in support and passed a vote of confidence in the lower house. a big reason for the far right election, when was it promised to tackle migration? i wanted to take a listen to part of what the new prime minister had to say about that today. tickled us with all that know what windy but this government aims to pursue. a course that hasn't been fully implemented, stopping and legal to patches as a way of finally breaking human trafficking in the mediterranean. and maybe that

around can and other than you option which has never been implemented, provides for blocking departures from north africa. sima. explain to us what the new prime minister's thinking is here on a migration policy. and is this something that italy can do alone, or is it going to depend on other european union members? well, what she was doing was kelly, also speaking to her supporters. and this is an issue that is really a hot button topic for them. and she stressed that there is to stop those migrant boats, as you heard, stop the smugglers and work with governments in africa, particularly north africa to help the flow creating the so called hot spot in those countries to process a silent request. this is something that's been talked about in the past, and she has made it clear that she wants to work with europe on this. but it's been very difficult so far to find a common ground on this issue and some even question the legality of doing such

a measure, whether such a naval block, it can even work. so really, there are risks and challenges involved in pushing such a policy. but this has been something she has talked about throughout the election campaign and it's something that she wishes to continue having this right wing coalition behind. let's not forget but they also v was very much in favor of this. when he was the interior minister here in italy, what about inflation? you know, we recently saw images of italian protesters burning their energy bills. i mean, how much pressure is on this new government to tackle inflation. that there's a lot of pressure with those, sorry, energy prices. she knows full well that this is a key issue for italian, italian families and italian businesses. and if you want the economy to pick up days, a risk that it could go into recession in 2023. and she acknowledge this fact. and

in fact said that she may have to delete some of those election promises as far as the economy is concerned. because this issue is really on top of the agenda. it's tough times here in italy. she has made it clear. it's the most difficult situation that it has to face since world war 2. and so because of these reasons, she feels that that will be a mean issue that she has to do, which is which essentially means coming up with help for families as well as businesses having to deal with these really high cost and their energy bills. journalist seem a groups are joining us tonight from rome as always we appreciate your reporting. thank you. jeremy president from goldstein might be the surprised visit to ukraine today. it was his 1st trip since the russian invasion of the country began on february 24th. and just after arriving stein meyer was directly confronted with the reality of life in

a war zone. air read, simon sirens rang out as he toured an area outside of the capital. keep the german presidents. as you see right there was forced to see cover inside a bomb shelter for more than one and a half hours. later on my return to key for a meeting with ukrainian president baltimore's zalinski hunter, that is done. i'm great for mister president and i was able to spend a whole day seeing the conditions of war through the eyes on craniums and click brick. gunther and i was able to talk to many people. if you see a great deal come ended and at the end of the day, i can say that i am really fully sincere admiration to god von dong for the courage, the tireless nurse win boy some time. the urge for freedom and the bravery of the ukrainians kind of in limbo kind o at a conference here in berlin to day delegates from the world's leading economies vowed to fund the massive reconstruction that will be needed in ukraine after the

war. the conference host, german transfer, all of schoultz, he said that the foundation has now been put down for a comprehensive plan to rebuild the country. the war is far from over, but the international community is already preparing the ground for reconstruction . hosting the conference in berlin, chancellor shalt said, now is the time to decide how to rebuild and how to pay for it. what is at stake here? nothing less than creating a new marshal plan for the 21st century. a generational node task that must begin. now the recovery, reconstruction of modernization of ukraine will indeed be a challenge for generations. one that would require the combined strength of the entire international community. the reason to tax on ukraine have marked a new low in this war. this was mc alive, southern ukraine on monday,

lay ground and residential neighborhood reduced to rubble by russian attacks. there's also been heavy damage to the power supply and live buildings and streets in key and to civilian targets like the shopping center in tampa region. joining the berlin conference by video link presidents, lensky said billions would also be needed to balance the state budget in the coming year, ukraine's prime minister then it's me house said he's country needs between 3 and 5000000000 euros a month just to keep going. but he told the conference why international help make sense. we need this money to recover infrastructure immediately. to help us survive this winter to save people from humanitarian, catastrophic. and to save them to be in continent from immigration wave from immigration to miami. according to the world bank,

the total bill for damage to ukraine's infrastructure will be $350000000000.00. the ukrainian government says it could be much more some worry about the lack of transparency when such amounts are discussed. that he, you commission president lafond line is taking a positive view reconstruction linked with a dynamic you, accession process can function as a catalyst as it was set to day here for necessary reforms. and at the same time. and this is certainly to, as a sean motivator to implement these reforms because there's a goal you want to go to and therefore you understand why you have to do with these reforms. the e will support ukraine for as long as necessary fund ally and said, help likely to be worked billions every month. it is clear that the human cost of the war in ukraine is immense. financial cost is also huge. ah,

the jill that us basketball star brittany griner has lost her appeal against that 9 year prison sentence that she is serving in russia. griner was arrested back in february at a moscow airport for being in possession of vape cartridges containing cannabis oil . now that substance is banned in russia. you, as president joe biden says that his administration is quote, in constant contact with both moscow and with grinders family in the us. brittany greiner appeared via video link from her prison south, her appeal more out of hope than any real expectation of success. but addressing what she called her honest mistake, she asked the court for leniency. i've been here almost a month and people with more severe gra, less than

a barbara as those in town to grind as mistake was being caught with cannabis oil in packaged to moscow efforts. back in february, in august, she was sentenced to 9 years in jail for drug smuggling and possession. the backdrop to this, of course, is russia's war and ukraine. griner us citizen is one of the world's best basketball players, a 2 time olympic champion, a supporters consider her report in russia's political game. the us reiterated on call for her media, really nothing in the previous sentence, nothing in the result of today's appeal changes the fact that the united states government considers the screener to be wrongfully detain. this man could be grind as best hope of being set free. pick to boot a russian arms dealer serving
