i'd richie that wasn't a bad clip we just showed from him there. but actually he is not universally popular with his own policy. they think that he is a little bit right. he like to close to labor? well, on the members, he's not, he's not going to win. you know, in the next british liter clearly face as a daunting series of tasks ahead of him as you said, you know, oh or her, forgive me of course, most certainly, no, i appreciate that but, but you know, we have a comment. let me, let me share it with you. it's from andrew ryan on youtube saying it will be hard to replace someone with boris is correct. uh huh. but they will essentially have the same politics referring to whoever's as to come next. and, you know, because he mentions are prime minister on voice johnson. i'm on wednesday during questions in parliament, boris johnson address the issue of his leaving are being forced to leave. take a look and it's certainly true. it's certainly true that i leave not at the time of my choosing. i absolutely true. i am proud of the fantastic team that has

and that is from david cameron, who had a lot of admiration of a richie sooner and richie snack, as i say, addressing now the 1922 committee. and of course, are, what does that mean that the british markets will be looking at is how the pound reacts to this news and how the public react? because of the say at the moment sir, that the real issue for much of the british public, andrew is the cost of living and rising fuel prices. i'm just looking at the wires now. the pound has gone up slightly by 0 point one sent to the dollar, so it's positive news there. in the initial, our, of knowing richie soon acts, sir, potential appointment. but it's all about the cost of living. is it for the british man and woman right now? it certainly is, and this is, you know, week we've, we've heard all of the are a drama, the theatrics in the house of commons on the, the shouts, the laughter. all of this is, it may be jockeying, it may seem sporting to sullen. it may be entertaining to some about for the vast majority of british people, particularly those who are up against it in low paid jobs or, or no

now, richie has his own problems. as you've alluded to, he's an extremely wealthy guy and, and, and his families very wealthy. and that shouldn't be any barriers public office. i believe that, but the conservative party of thinking strategically, the british public law countries across the world, the al jazeera viewers have heard the british public is tired. people are struggling to pay their bills every month in the u. k. this year, over $2000000.00 people of defaulted on one form of bill, whether it's utilities, credit cards, whatever. i'd richie that wasn't a bad clip we just showed from him there, but actually he's not universally popular with his own policy. they think that he is a little bit right. he like to close to labor? well, on the members, he's not, he's not going to win. you know, in the next british liter, clearly faced as a daunting series of tasks ahead of him as you said, you know, i'm or her, forgive me of course, most certainly, no, i appreciate that. but, but you know, we have a comment. let me, l

he can to stop richie soon winning because he's properly unhappy with the row that richie soon not had in his downfall. so let's, let's look behind that. p r there, there's a lot of very divisive conflict with my rent conservative party, and they, they need to think very carefully because labor has its most impressive leader for years. and so he saw, but at an on that know, kevin, i want to stop you because i'm curious i, we've heard penny more on say that the conservative party had lost its sense of self. and she also vowed to return this kind of value system of small state low tax, personal responsibility. do you think the boy johnson's legacy will continue beyond his, his time as prime minister? no. and again, it's that i'm not making a political point. i say it's a point of, of advice and counsel that i give to clients. currently he will not have a very significant legacy above the fact that he did a good job with ukraine. it's a wasted opportunity because he's one of the few british prime ministers and we've had quite a few in recent years. he's not leave and because of policy, he

and plots is richie's team, which has got the most number of people in it. he's very well resourced, and he will be trying to get a candid or in the last 2 that he feels uncomfortable that he's going to bates. and i understand that penny more on his pitching herself as sort of a team player. and perhaps we can discuss that more her chances. but, but sticking to our former finance minister richie soon, or is he sure that, you know, he has plans that he's saying he's going to get the u. k. out of the economic hall and talking about the taxes but, but our british citizens ready are even able to be more patient. i, as inflation continues to go up and costs are rising. i mean, let's, let's listen to what he said. and i want to come back to our kevin i have a plan to steer our economy through these headwinds. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values, and that means honesty and responsibility. not fairytales, it is not readable to promise lots more spending and lower taxes. i had to make some of the most difficult choices of my life as chancello

it seems it richie soon. next . it seems that richey soon acts, comments to his parliamentary colleagues of unite or die rings. very true. he knows that his work is cut out for him. do you think he's the type of person that can unite a party and can, can unite the conservative community? absolutely. riches a unifying for is a consummate professional. and his up for the big challenge is and i can deliver. and from our experiences of working with richie and his support comes up to friends of india, he is definitely a people's person and he will unite. and he will be that driving force for the party as well as a living for the country. every commentator we've had on the program for the last several weeks talking about the state of the united kingdoms economy has talked about competent hands, are required to guide the u. k. through what is a difficult time economically. and it's the same example in any other country. in the world right now, the u. k. isn't that unique? but having had the experience of the treasury and m

let richie sooner let stay with us and have a lesson good afternoon. today marks the combination of the conservative leadership election has been a huge honor to be co chairman of our party working alongside been elliot. i'm hugely proud of the way everyone has worked together to deliver this contest, which has shown the concert a party to be in good voice and good strength. we've held tall regional hostings, the length and breadth of the united kingdom, attended by 2000. so 20000 party members. ha, it's been a long campaign. 20000 party members and watched on line by over 2500000 members of the public. the members hostings involved are 2 fantastic candidates undergoing 14 hours of questioning and taking more than 600 questions from party members. and these hostings were in addition to the multiple online hostings and the media interviews. this concluded last wednesday with a fantastic event at wembley arena, attended by 6000 party members. i'd like to pay tribute to darren mott and the dedicated team at c h q for running a membership. i don't think my

let's just begin with, richie su, next comments. all the country will experience profound economic challenges. he seems to be preparing the ground for some pretty difficult choices for not only is government and the reality that the british public will find difficult perhaps to swallow in the coming weeks. yes, he does. i mean that you know, that there are profound economic challenges and the cost of living and energy crisis, which is not only grew up in the u. k, but also more broader problems for the u. k. economy. ah, labor shortage is due to skill shortages are and then general challenges of managing that transition drew away from the ear. so these are all actually sort of confluence thing for the time being and making that even more difficult. and indeed ma'am, you know, inflation is hovering around 10 percent. we haven't seen that for a couple of decades in the u. k. add to that the fact that he also has to try and be no men to fracture tory party. but in terms of the fiscal responsibility, it's all very well to talk about spe

let's just begin with richie soon act. he's potentially just hours away from becoming the leader in waiting. is this the right way to choose the next prime minister of the united kingdom post is usually inside a proper mattress will be handled in this way. in the british system is the presidential parliamentary. we hold general elections in which we have a problem and so we pounds from which a government bass government is a prime minister. so the corey of that is that if there is a change, your prime minister during a parliament, the reason they are, or a general election of multiple women have been changes and premier meet, you will, recent, there's a knock in any sense necessitating widespread or general election the constitution position, i change in the, on the sad why, for the major opposition? probably the late about say this is ridiculous. it's time for the public to have a say. and i read my was constitutionally there isn't a requirement for the debate will continue. certainly for the next few days, if not weeks,

so richie sooner wants to avoid that. one of the things you can do to make sure that that doesn't immediately happen is by reappointing, jeremy hunt. as the finance ministers, chancellor of the exchequer to changes is, chancellor again would have spooked the markets. and he knows that there is a real financial crisis in the united kingdom. and speaking the markets would have made it much harder to dig himself out of that hole. so that is why jeremy hunt has kept that position. james cleverly as foreign secretary, that is perhaps a more of a surprise given as you said, particular that he supported boris johnson that on sunday to say that he would like to see boris johnson coming back. but the understanding is that james cleverly has done a good job at the foreign office, so that is why he keeps his position. and ben wallace another of the big offices of state as it is defense. and ben wallace will continue as secretary of state for defense as he did under board us johnson. and then again under las trust, there's a few more

it's clearly a huge win for richie through. not that he's manage is through with no resignations from his cabinet. quite all the people were on resignation. watch that steve bacon . christina harris have support to the deal and yesterday in parliament was a very, very different mood to earlier discussions on direct. we've heard when to read may presented her back stop to parliament. it took well over an hour, i think for any other conservative but spoken favor of it yet today. quite know the blue being big figures in the boat leave campaign, we're loading where she's tonight for the deal with his landed. that said, these are the e o g o trips have said that they want to take time to study the deal that convening what they call that star chamber of roy is to go through the massive documents that were published yesterday with a fine tooth comb and they will find things in it, they don't like they will find that the prime minister has slightly over. so some of the games. and if you don't want to deal, then you will find reasons no

and as prime ministerial debut school, this was perhaps as good as richie sooner could hold free. but the issue spacing loose truss happened, disappear. please questions, and there will be tougher days ahead. alan fisher, i'll do sooner. westminster. i'll pull brian and joins us now from london. the so the prime minister taking a bit of flank there over the re appointment of sweller braverman. how damaging does it look like this could be for him while they lit labor party in the other opposition parties are trying to land upon shondra. she's unique early in his tenure as prime minister, but i think that the prime minister soon ac is still enjoying very much of a honeymoon period. it literally 24 hours into the job, confronting the issue. head on early doors are reappointing sewell abraham, and who's a close political ally? she's a, you're a skeptic, just like the prime minister. she's right wing, just like the prime minister. and what the opposition parties were paid to to allege was that that been a kind of what they described as a grubby deal. according to labor. the scottish na

we all owe it to the country to each other and to richie to unite and work together for the good of the nation. and re 7th chose us from dining straighter and andrew. the sentiment might be that it's whether firstly the conservative party can come together behind richie's tonight and also whether the public to can puts believe and the conservative party and the conservative government after the ups and downs of quite an interesting yeah. well as a long way to go before the latter part of that question, you are sir, is answered because the u. k. public feeling is one of a fraught type of anger. a right now over the way politics is being run in this country. after a while they with most people would regard as, as farcical scenes both in parliament itself and here in downing street. and of course promises that were made by a prime minister only to be dropped at the turn of a hat for her to stay in some sort of power when really that power wasn't there. and in fact, it was a, a stand in chancellor jeremy hunt quickly brought in. whether or not it was fully by list ross's choice or not is an

when richie should i came to par, he very quickly decided to reset the relationship with you. and really all the emphasis of the mothers on northern ireland and a response. this is about as resetting the okay, relationship with you very much and i'm sure we get more of that in the day. so we have lots of like, coming to you in london clubs. you worked on breaks that, you know, inside out from behind the scenes was the northern island issue and trade and the trade barriers and board is always a problem. wasn't always in the, the mindset of the british government from when the vote was taken back in 2016. what's your take on it? i think it's sir, as a game or 2 halls, you might say, i think it will probably wasn't sufficient in the mindset either. david cameron, the prime minister, who announced the referendum, nor during the campaign featured when john major and tony blair, to prime minister, you've done a lot to bring peace in northern ireland, went to north on the said, i vote for brett's. it could cause problems, but it wasn't a big issue in the campaign. and i think it real

he will then summon richie sooner to the palace and ask him to form a government. he will come back here and make some remarks before getting back to what no, we had from him to day after he won the election at to become the leader of the conservative party. there was nothing specific in there that you wouldn't normally hear from someone who just won that sort of election. but there was a warning note that the united kingdom is facing some real economic troubles. and that will be top of his agenda. he realizes, people across the country are suffering from the cost of living crisis, from double digit inflation. every time they go to buy their weekly shop, it seems to becoming more expensive. and of course we're just about to enter winter here in the u. k. and people's energy bills are going to go up and up significantly . so he's got a lot of what to do. he's got a team to put in place, unlikely to change 2 of the key cabinet positions that of interior minister, the home secretary, and also the chancellor. the exchequer, who is of course, the finance minister. when

that was a very clear message from richie soon act that he wanted to have stability. it was important to him to send a message to the markets just to, to stay calm. because he realizes that the real economic problems facing britain and destabilizing the markets wouldn't be a good thing to do, which is why jeremy hunt stays in his position. but there will be a change at the home office, the interior minister. and what is interesting for richie sooner to say that he wants a government full of integrity. he is no appointed 3 people to his cabinet who have been sacked during their parliamentary career for leaking or for other offences. and one of those is swell abrahamson who was sacked just 6 days ago for sending government documents from her private email, which is a breach of the court. she back as home secretary at the interior minister under richey soon act. so he talks about how trust is earned that he's got to start doing that and he faces some really big tests, not least the economic situation here in the united kingdom. there is a cost of living crisis. inflation

therefore richie sooner and lives for us, really, the candidates going forward, conservative party, and peace of spoken. now grassroots members will decide where the former chancellor richie sumac or forum secretary list trust should go on to be party leader. and britons next prime minister, both a divisive characters, both had the experience of high office trust promises what she calls a truly conservative economic agenda. tax cuts under hike in defense spending, find the person he can go in to number 10. i can hit glam running and i can get things done. soon. ack says he'll stabilize the economy, ease the cost of living crisis and when the next election. the question now for our members is, who is the best person to defeat care film or in the labor party at the next election? i believe on the only candidate who can do that. and there's a further distinction between the 2. while lease trust is seen as the candidate most likely to continue boris johnson's brand of populace politics, richie soon isn't popular in downing street where he's seen as having betrayed johnson, earning him the d

now grassroots members will decide where the former chancellor richie sooner called forum secretary list trust should go on to be party leader and britons next prime minister. both the divisive characters, both have the experience of high office trust promises what she calls a truly conservative economic agenda, tax cuts and a hike indifferent spending on the pass. and he can go into number 10. i can hit go, i'm running and i can get things done. soon acts as he'll stabilize the economy, ease the cost of living crisis and when the next election. the question now for our members is, who is the best person to defeat care film or in the labor party at the next election? i believe i'm the only candidate who can do that. and there's a further distinction between the 2. while the lease trust is seen as the candidate most likely to continue boris johnson's brand of populist politics, richie soon isn't popular in downing street where he's seen as having betrayed johnson, earning him the distrust of party members of poll. all those very party members who will elect the next prime minister suggest

but just seconds before the deadline, she to withdrew richie soon. i had one arriving here in dining street. soon like face is a daunting list of immediate challenges. those, the double digit inflation, the soaring interest rates as the grim state of the public finances, and a deeply wounded and divided party that he now leads. not to mention the question marks as to whether the conservative party actually has a mandate to govern any more wishes to not with rejected by his own party membership only weeks ago. the people in this country now deserve was to go to the electorate to put our policies forward about how we going to deal with this cost of living crisis it. the conservatives to put upon the british people and let them have a vote. scary how we kind of tend to page and continue damn same track of i feel like a prime minister for, but we just disco sorted. we looked at the bird bars, but rarely draw to the butler. if you look at all the other 4 approach about offices which would allow for song during the summer leadership contest against trust,

this was perhaps as good as richie sooner could hold free. but the issues facing las trust happened disappear, please questions. and there will be tougher days ahead. alan fisher. i'll g xena, westminster. as glenna to pull brennan at last. miss tessa polish which pretend 1st to ella brown and to a top cabinet position. yes 6 days is not a long time to spend in the public political purgatory, not at all, but it seems that for she soon act a new prime minister assesses that soil. abrahamson is less of a liability and more of an asset as far as his government goes. after all, she is a you're a skeptic like he is. she is very right wing just like he is. and she resigned over kind of what she described as a technical breach. so really soon i was able to sort of gloss over it and, and accept her her mia copa. and the other thing though is it doesn't look good. it was a gift to the opposition parties. as you saw in alan's report, there, i mean, 24 hours ago we should soon ack spoke about a government of integrity and accountability and openness. un

no jury and full scale war and indo china blood and his french, the colonization on al jazeera ah richie. so not pledge is to lead the u. k. out of an economic crisis after becoming is a 3rd prime minister in 2 months. this will me difficult decisions to com. ah, are you watching al jazeera alive from doha, with ne, fully back table? also coming up a crucial debate in the usa to pennsylvania, where democrats and republicans ask, wearing off in a race that could decide control of the senate. european leaders talk of a modern day martial plan as they hold a conference on how to rebuild ukraine and a race against time in haiti cases in a contra outbreak, double in a matter of days ah, the u. k. his new prime minister wishes to knock his vow, to quote, fixed the mistakes of his predecessor and says, economic stability is a priority. his name, his cabinet, and has warned of difficult decisions to come. whole brennan bayport's richie soon . i kiss britain's 3rd prime minister in a space of just 2 months, and he inherits a daunting set of problems in the wake of the brief and chaotic tenure of

he will then summon richie sooner to the palace and ask him to form a government. he will come back here and make some remarks before getting back to what. no, he had that the united kingdom is facing some real economic troubles and that will be top of his agenda. he realizes people across the country are suffering from the cost of living crisis, from double digit inflation. every time they go to buy their weekly shop, it seems to becoming more expensive. and of course we're just about to enter winter here in the u. k. and people's energy bills are going to go up and up significantly . but he's got a lot to do. first of all, he's got to deal with that cost of living crisis. he's got to bring the conservative party together because they have no split and damaged to prime ministers. and he's got to convince the country that he is in charge. he is in control, and he's making their lives better if not the coals for a general election here in the u. k. will grow to load to ignore or he made his name as the case finance minister or chancellor of the exchequer, and suffer

no words as to whether any similar offer. honor is on off of the richie soon act, but he did come bearing a package of support for the $60000000.00 worth of military aid being offered by britain to ukraine, including in particular antique aircraft guns and radar and technology were told to ward off a tax by drones, and that's particularly important because after 2 waves of aerial bombardment by russia just this week, 6 since october mr. zelinski said since the 1st days of the war, ukraine and the u. k. have been the strongest of allies and more from richie, soon as he described his visit as deeply humbling. he said, britain knows what it means to fight for freedom with you all the way. meanwhile, the 1st train to care san since it was retaken by ukrainian forces has arrived from keith away emotional scenes as it pulled into the southern city. as on was the 1st major region to be taken back in march. it remained and a russian control and the tail. earlier this month, most of ukraine's trains have continued to operate during the war despite repeated attacks. still ahead on al jazeera as mil

now, richie, sumac or live trust will be britain's next prime minister. the former chancellor and foreign secretary are the final 2 candidates in the conservative parties. leadership contest. the winner will be chosen in a run of vote by party members in september journal hot reports now from london. therefore, richie, sooner and less for us will be the candidates going forward, conservative party and piece of spoken. now grassroots members will decide where the former chancellor richie sumac or forum secretary list trust should go on to be party leader and britons next prime minister. both the divisive characters, both have the experience of high office trust promises, what fee calls a truly conservative economic agenda. tax cuts and a hike in defense spending on the pass, and who can go into number 10. i can hit go, i'm running and i can get things done. soon acts as he'll stabilize the economy, ease the cost of living crisis and when the next election. the question now for our members, who is the best person to defeat the film or the labor policy of th

so you're gonna go, reports become the return of richie soon at this time as lead of his party. he missed out till his trust in the last leadership contest, only to find himself less than 2 months later, back in downing street. this time at number 10, generic is the 1st u. k prime minister of south asian heritage. indeed, the 1st from any ethnic minority in modern times, a hindu whose family came to britain from east africa. and while his rise in british politics marks a milestone moment, a reflection of the you case diversity. it is his personal wealth and privilege and that of his wife that has come under scrutiny. effect many believe that would have on the decisions he would make running the country. there are so many challenges that he has to face. first of all, of course, he ran the economy that built up a lot of the debt that we're now talking about. and there was some episodes of discussion about hughes in his wife's tax affairs and the position of a green card which suggested, you know, i've gotten to check to see in case things don't work out in british politics. which

you k prime minister richie soon act fires. the conservative party chairman over his tax effect will have more missing class education and free for in lebanon. why children am teaches are staying away from cos. i'm kathy thought in central tango with that, if i try to see the north and white rhino from extinction, i'll be telling you the good news. ah, welcome to the program. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has announced a series of measures. after 7 israelis were killed and 5 injured in 2 shootings. followed a 4 hour meeting of a security cabinet which took place late on saturday. holmes of palestinians suspected of being involved in the attacks which be sealed off, demolished, the government will make it easier for settlers to own guns by false tracking licenses. and it will strengthen the police and military with operations planned to arrest people, collect illegal weapons. well, israel's national security minister, it's my been given is among those calling for more gums in the hands of israeli citizens. he also r

she said, this decision is a historic one and shows the diversity and talent of our party. richie has my full support. we ought to the country to each other and to rashid, to unite and work together for the good of the nation. so what kind of leader is it's not going to be johnny gay, go reports here become the return of richey soon at this time as leader of his party. he missed out til his trust in the last leadership contest, only to find himself less than 2 months. later, back in downing street, this time at number 10. she neck is the 1st u. k. prime minister of south asian heritage. indeed, the 1st from any ethnic minority in modern times, a hindu whose family came to britain from east africa. and while his rise in british politics marks a milestone moment, a reflection of the u. case diversity. it is his personal wealth and privilege and that of his wife that has come under scrutiny. effect many believe that would have on the decisions he would make running the country. there are so many challenges that he has to face. first of all, of course, he ran the economy that built up a l

soon, richie. should that be? think that he partly responsible for forcing boris out of number 10. and so they might try to give him a bloody nose by supporting her. but it seems that we're heading more for a coronation than an election. and is the door still open for johnson come back a sort of possibility down the line or was that it is that it now? i think there's the real possibility that he didn't have 100 absolute guaranteed signatures. if he had, he would probably have done it because boris johnson doesn't like to lose. so if he thought he could, when he would have pushed forward the idea that his doing this for the benefit, the country to many people in home will find that hard to believe i could he come back at some time in the future? it's certainly something he's talked about. certainly he has support in the conservative party and certainly support in the parliamentary party. but if the conservatives think they can win the next election and they are way behind and every pool that we, we

asian heritage just weeks after being rejected by the conservative party in favor of less trust. richie soon act will succeed her in the top job full brennan reports from downing street for a party which is as the 2 of its own prime ministers in a past year. it was a remarkable veneer of camaraderie for the arrival of p. m. number 3 at party headquarters in london to 7 weeks after being beaten in the previous leadership contest, ritchie soon ack emerged unopposed as the conservative party chosen one. he won't officially become prime minister until asked by king charles on tuesday. so soon i can limited himself to a brief tv statement of acceptance. 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 i will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together. within a week, during the final hours of haggling and campaigning, the momentum of sue next campaign became unstoppable. more than half the parliamentary party declaring their support for him. in the end, only he reached the requi

that was in last year's call, richie, but no on it's paying up that 20. what is it? is it 10 year behind they 50 to members of the go to paris accord the agreement. everybody was like, wow, we saved the well not another but a little bit. and all of those promises made empower. i said people were excited. this is for our grandkids. they've held not a single penny and it's i'm and then you see for me the problem is, you know, i'm not even going into the direction of climate compensation and come or just a single unit you yeah. talking about yeah, no, what am purely talking about is communities and countries. right? not right now, i guess, suffering from these impacts. we need practical solutions for them. oh, tactical solutions connecting one. i'm going to bring shabanni name one practical solution retractable solutions could be there could be some areas which are increasingly becoming inhabitable on inhibitor. that's what we all that beginning to see. the more people to safety, thick anticipatory measures move people to safety because in normal they're, they're not go

i currently former chance of a richie sooner he resign during the last days of the johnson premier ship has the most supporters, among conservative m. p. 's. he's not spoken yet. i've done some amazing things in my life. i've had a seat at the table at the world bank in nato, the leader of the comments penny. mortons is also trying again, after losing out to trust in last month's leadership contest ports. if more than one candidate has the backing of at least 100 impede on monday, the decision then goes to around a 150000 conservative party members. they could well back johnson who quit off that doesn't have his m p.
