ah, ah, there are 2 new leaders in europe, italy's prime minister, georgia maloney 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 times 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 burned 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 in is complicated. i understand how difficult this moment is geopolitical tensions and the energy crisis . a dampening types of 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. s in the united states. and to 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 re story. 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. i want you to take a look into part of what she said, followed by the new prime minister rishi. sooner from my time as prime minister, i am more convinced than ever 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 all the classic regimes. left highland lies in the hands of the t. i want to pay tribute to my predecessor list 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,

that 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 he 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. i'm 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. now, 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 find 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 eve, they really are in a difficult position and everything we know about the state of the economy, about inflation, that it's was 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 british prime minister, non white british prime minister. but he's also incredibly wealthy man. and i'm wondering, is there, is there a, a disconnect in some way or there the fact that he does represent a diverse u. k. at the same time,

many people say he can't understand the realities that most brits face 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. i. 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. quinn 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 world war 2. when his speech was closely watched for clues about policy changes under her new coalition government, she affirmed italy strong support for ukraine, but acknowledged that the energy crisis resulting from russia's war would dampened the country's economic outlook. only bologna also said that her government will

work towards stopping migrate 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 these. i haven't seen what i usually will continue to be a reliable hot now he didn't maintain. but supposing the brave and training people who oppose rashes invasion, it was just even institutions. blackmail on energy would not solve that problem. it would make it, let me buy a thing a way to further democracy. they say we got a corresponded team, a group to is following the story for it tonight in rome seem it's good to have you back with this. the new 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 on watching her closely . that 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 email to take on such a role. and it also when she remembered the humble group 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 the 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 he came to her neo fascist roots. she was also very clear saying that she was always against 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 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 how

other coalition partner my to yourself, any of the leak pots. he has been known to express his admiration for putting in the past. he's also question the role of sanctions. seeing that in the long run it might hurt 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 to the lower house. a big reason for the far right election when was it's promised to tackle migration. i want to take a listen to part of what the new prime minister had to say about that too. they

tickled us with all that know what a grande, 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 run in another, an 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 with kelly, also speaking to her supporters, and this is an issue that is really a hot button topic for them. and she stressed that their aim 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 protect

a silent request. this is something that we've 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 to find a common ground on this issue and some even question the legality of doing such a measure, whether such enabled, blocked, it can even work. so really the risk 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 what the l v d was where the much in favor of this when he was the interior minister here in italy. what about inflation? 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 soaring 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. to re president from goldstein, meyer b,

the surprise 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 you tour to the 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 is done by a return to key for a meeting with ukrainian president border. miss lensky hunter, that is done. i'm grateful 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 under 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 go over and on for the courage, the tireless nurse when boys some time the urged for freedom and the bravery of the

ukrainians, kind of in london kind o at a conference here in berlin today. 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 region 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. so buildings and streets in key it 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 the people from humanitarian, catastrophic, and to save the europe in continent from the immigration wave from the immigration . so mommy, 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 forms. 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 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 up to 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
