we can speak now to a correspondent alan fisher. so what's happened here, alan? well, after the speculation bar is, johnson has decided he's not going to put his name forward, realizing that perhaps that he could not win given the riches sooner, had built up such momentum over the last couple of days. and he was never going to go into a competition that he didn't think he could win his statement, but more bullish than that. suggesting that he led to the conservatives to a very important election victory just 2 years ago and could continue to do that. and when the next election as well above is perhaps over optimistic if you look at any of the opinion polls. but he felt that he still could bring the party together, but he said the reality was it wasn't together and certainly wasn't behind the idea of borders. johnson is the prime minister. he did, he said, have 102 people who supported him. so that meant he got past the threshold required to have at least 100 m. p. 's behind him. he said there was a proposer and the 2nd, but he has decided that he was not going to

alan fisher begins her coverage from the imf headquarters in washington -- is coverage -- alan fisherins our coverage from the imf headquarters in washington. reporter: delegates and representatives, being told what they already know, economically, things are bad and they are going to get worse. >> the global economy continues to face steep challenges, shaped by three powerful forces. the russian invasion of ukraine, the cost of caused by persistent and broadening inflation pressures, and the slowdown in china. reporter: inflation, affecting economies around the world, making it harder for ordinary people to do ordinary things like feed their families or warm their homes. the imf says the reasons are many and they are complicated. strict covid lockdowns in china have impacted the global supply chain. there are several climate emergencies. and russia's war in ukraine, which has had food supplies and cause an energy crisis. warnings next winter will be worse. >> the way to go is to provide targeted support. to the most vulnerable households and firms, rather than a general support, whic

the fancy to alan fisher, who's outside the prime minister's residence and office a downing street alan. so the, the a cabinet is taking shape. tell us more about the appointments more coming and goings in the last hour or so. what is interesting is that some people who are protesting down at the bottom of dunning street, any time someone new walks up the street, they're accompanied by some comedy music at putting us kind of surreal air to it all. but clearly, richey, senate wants to put his own stamp on the government. and if you take the 4 big offices of state, which are the foreign office, the treasury, chancellor of the exchequer, is known here, interior the home secretary and defense. he's opted to, to try and, and, and inject a level of stability. so a jeremy hunt will see his chancellor, the exchequer, that was largely expected at russia to not realizes that the country is in a real deep economic crisis. he doesn't want to spook the markets changing chancellor again, so soon would have been an issue. he doesn't have that same problem with home. secretary, as you say, grant chaps

his i correspondent alan fisher reporting on those loans for his headquarters here in washington. the international monetary fund has put together a 9 trillion dollar port to help countries deal with the covert crisis. most of that money has come from the g. 20 the world richest nations, and more than 100 countries have asked for help. now this is the i mass map of where money was distributed among those helped $2700000000.00 to egypt. 411000000 to ethiopia. 361000000 to bosnia herzegovina. more recently, sri lanka received $2900000000.00 after his economy faced collapse. it ran out of money for food medicine, cooking, gas and fuel. but critics of the, i may say it is outdated and ineffective of the 89 developing countries that received i m f. loans between 19651995 more than half where no better off afterwards. in fact, 32 were poor. other critics question whether many nations which borrow money from the i m f, have the ability to repeat yourself addition to the ins and some sort of longer term ah, where program is likely going to have to step in to help countries through that. n

ok, let's go to alan fisher. he's joining us now live from london. that deadline is getting closer. what's the situation now? well, there is only one m p at the moment who is over of the 100 m. p 's support threshold, and that is richie sooner. you'll remember that when he stood against loose trust, there was an election among the em piece to decide who would go forward to at that the full election of the, the phil conservative party membership and soon at one overwhelmingly with the support from the m p. so this is well worn territory from him, penny morton has support, but not enough at the moment to hit 100 mark. and then there is bought as johnson yet. that boris johnson, he is back from holiday in costa rica. he is back to rally troops. his support, see that he is ready to come back, that he is ready for the fight and ready to declare. but he's got to get to a 101st and all the tallies we're seeing in the british media, he is falling short of that. now his supporters see he's there, he's done it, but he hasn't yet declared at, but we'll find out in just under 24 hours time. who

because as alan fisher was pointing out, this term coronation is nothing to do with the world family. it's to do with the fact that if there isn't a 2 candidate situation, then there's only one candidate that's going to be automatic. more or less, you could see richie soon at the coming prime minister on monday. that's a technical possibility. it could be announced. but penny mordant has done quite well, but by no means enough to reach the 100 threshold of votes that she really needs. or is johnson coming back from his sunshine and sand holiday, or like a knight in shining armor, was really something of a distraction or something of a sideshow at the end of the day. because many conservatives say that he never really had a chance of winning over the parliamentary party. and he says he, he got a $102.00 votes, which is above the limits the actual scheduled or limit. but a lot of conservative m p 's. and indeed, observers believe that's not the case, that this is, again, a johnson being economical with the truth and was also an inquiry hanging over him for misleading parliament over the

allen, thank you. alan fisher talking to us from outside dining street. we're going to bring in steph, a deck of who's at westminster. as alan was telling us there, this is, this is going to be a long process. and although the tories might feel that this is the end of the matter, it clearly isn't because one would imagine there is going to be significant political pushback on this. stephanie, if you could just bear with me, we're going to go to richie sudak, who is going to be speaking now to liz trust for her dedicated public service to the country. she has led with dignity and grace for a time of great change and under exceptionally difficult circumstances, both at home and abroad. i am humbled and honored to have the support of my parliamentary colleagues and to be elected as leader, the conservative and unionist party. it is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the party. i love and give back to the country i owe so much to the united kingdom is a great country. but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. we now need s

just months after he resigned. alan fisher has more money. now, he is the front runner for the job is britain's makes prime minister. but rushes to neck is preceding cautiously. a short written statement, promising integrity, professionalism and accountability, and then off to rally, support. i the only other declared candidate is cabinet minister penny more than she has backing, but as yet not enough to hit the magic mark of $100.00 and p supporting her to get in to a run off election. i am very confident about the progress we are making and i will say to you that i am in this to win it. i think it's important for our party. we have a contest. i am very confident about our numbers. and it's i, the reason why i'm doing this is because i think i am best place to bring the party together. both had been waiting to see what bullish johnston was going to do. he flew in from holiday at the weekend to rally support for a political come by his resignation almost 4 months ago led to las trust being elected as conservative party leader and prime minist

she has been speaking of the i'm efs annual meeting in washington. mon, the set speak to alan fisher in washington, d. c. so a world economy battered by, as i said, they're both covered and now the warn you cry. and what is the i m s a picture, a forecast for it? well, a, this is certainly a gloomy meeting and we know that george eva is trying to put a very positive spin on it by saying, look, acting together. we will get through this, but there is an unfortunate confluence of events here because 1st of all there's covered and just coming out of that. but that are still extensive locked downs. and china, which is heading the global supply chain, there is the water ukraine, which is causing problems that are climate crises, which is a costing money to deal with as well. and then there is the, the cost of inflation. and that a crystelina, georgia acknowledges really hates at the most vulnerable. she says this is a tax on the poorest parts of society. and she is our government to make sure that they are taking action to help those who are really struggling, saying that any help for them

his i correspondent alan fisher reporting on those loans for his headquarters here in washington. the international monetary fund has put together a 9 trillion dollar port to help countries deal with the covert crisis. most of that money has come from the g. 20 the world richest nations, and more than 100 countries have asked for help. now this is the i mass map of where money was distributed among those helped $2700000000.00 to egypt. 411000000 to ethiopia. 361000000 to bosnia herzegovina. more recently, sri lanka received $2900000000.00 after its economy faced collapse. it ran out of money for food medicine, cooking, gas and fuel. but critics of the, i may say it is outdated and ineffective of the 89 developing countries that received i m f. loans between 19651995 more than half where no better off afterwards. in fact, 32 were poor. other critics question whether many nations which borrow money from the i m f. have the ability to repay now yourself with addition to the ins and some sort of longer term, ah, where program is likely going to have to step in to help countries throug

from on this that's head over to alan fisher. he's very in washington. so how bleak is the picture looking for the global economy? allen? well, it's hard to, to put any positive spin on what is happening according to crystelina georgina that are a number of things that have impacted the global economy. and there's still the residue from corporate 1900. the fact that supply chain still on back to normal there as climate challenges all around the world, the war and ukraine has certainly added to the instability. and there is the cost of living crisis. and she said that governments really have to act to try and come, but inflation and not news coming is we find out that inflation here in the united states is that a 40 year high? she says that inflation everyone would accept is attack station on the most vulnerable communities, though, was those with the lowest income. and she said that's where the government need to focus any actions that they take and it has to be focus like that. and it has to be temporary as well. now the warning ukraine is also cause th

as alan fisher explained in a month's time, the american public will go to the polls for the midterm elections. for many, this is a referendum and jo biden's part 2 years in the white house and it's supposed to be believed. it won't be good news for the democrats. what remains clear is that american politics is still incredibly devices. so what's at stake? well, in the house of representatives, everything, $435.00 congressional districts, some are solidly republican, some are solidly democrat, but there are a few that can be flipped. and the republicans know that a net gain of just 5 seats will give them control of the chamber. that would mean nancy pelosi is no longer the speaker. pushing through the presence agenda. she would be replaced by a republican, almost certainly kevin mccarthy in the senate, 35 of the $100.00 seats set up for grabs, but only 10 of those are thought to be competitive. at the moment, both sites have 50 seats with tiebreaker decided by the casting vote of the democratic vice president. now both sides know that a net gain of just one will give them control of

ukraine changed the picture completely, and it is now taking a growing toll on europe's economies. alan fisher has more from the i m. f meeting in washington, dc. the delegates and representatives will be leaving the i m. f world bank meetings here in washington over the next couple of days with the reality really enforced to them that the economic picture globally is not great. number of problems. first of all, growth is don't, and inflation is high, not just in certain sectors, but essentially across the world. that means that feeding family's heating homes becomes much more expensive for ordinary people. and part of the reason for that is the war in ukraine, no. janet yellen, who is the us treasury secretary, essentially the finance minister. she has been speaking here in washington, and she said it was important that the international community wants together to make sure that russia continues to suffer for the war in ukraine. one thing we want to be clear about is that russia should not profit from having and started this atrocious war in ukraine, and shouldn't be beneficial from profits

where the choice of the stakes are crystal clear, especially when it comes to the right to choose. alan fisher has one from washington. the whole joe biden needs to generate interest in voting for democrats . he's looking at the polls. he seeing that the position they were and a few months ago has essentially evaporated. you remember back in june, the supreme court announced that it was overhauling the abortion laws here in the united states that lead to 14 states banning abortion. many others have imposed very strict conditions on getting abortion. but that led to thousands and thousands of people going out on to the streets, complaining about the decision and registering to vote many women women, many minorities did that. and they said that come november as far as they were concerned, abortion was very much on the ballot. and of course the, the democrats had been behind the republicans at that point. and suddenly the gap got a lot smaller. but over the last couple of weeks, the gap has begun to get bigger. only 8 percent of people say the abortion is the top of their priorities in the electi

and there's alan fisher out is europe at the i m. f meeting in washington. western allies have vowed to deliver new air defense systems to ukraine as quickly as possible. russia has intensified as strikes across ukraine in recent days, killing at least 26 people since monday. targets have been mostly civilian infrastructure in 12 cities. the defense systems announcement came from a meeting of nato defense ministers in brussels slats on al jazeera. if they are saying that everybody is the title belt and also taking their belts, greatest in gonna demand change to state mean sales tax pushes many businesses to the bank. ah. hello there. we've got something of a change going on across central parts of north america, easing outs of central canada or rolling down the prairies through the northern plains, fresh weather tucking in behind. and that will just run its way across the lakes where we will see some very heavy rain for a time. he's inevitable. pennsylvania new york. casing it to new england, ontario, quebec, tony increasingly wet as

but it's better, especially for poor, poor, poor, poor people. alan fisher has more than the story from washington dc. crystelina georgina is aware of the impact that high inflation is having on every one. and she says that governments really do have to do more to try and help the poorest. this isn't some abstract economic theory. this is being experienced by everyone if they go along to the shore, just to buy some food to feed their family. and she says that of governments and financial institutions are going to help than the help has to be targeted to those who are struggling the most. she says that essentially inflation is a taxation on the poorest in society. she's also aware that when that are financial issues, there can be political issues. and that has led to critics to wonder whether the international monetary fund and the world bank is fit for purpose in negotiating its way through this crisis. whether capitalism should continue to be the driver of what is happening with global economies. well, that is a point i put to a senior figure in the wild bank. when you have these types

so now speak to alan fisher. he joins us from . i'm at headquarters in washington. we've just been hearing from john at yell and treasury secretary in just the last 60 minutes now what she said about the way in which russia has been impacted while she was talking about how the allies of come together to make sure that there are financial consequences for what has happened in ukraine, and she insists that russia has been financially we can buy the sanctions that are in put in place and also the blockades that have been put in place. but that still doesn't the tribe from the fact that the water ukraine is one of the big talking points here at the i m f and the impact has had on global markets. though we know that there's a cost of living crisis at, according to the i m f, it's about 7 percent more expensive to live in europe. there was a year ago. that means that if you've got $100.00 to spend on food, it will go quite as far. and if you're on a limited budget, as many people are on the, we just haven't tracked quite the same as inflation. then it means that we'll go

that took place why centers and there will be tougher days ahead. alan fisher, al jazeera westminster, a new report where the world meteorological organization has find that greenhouse gas levels continue to hit record highs. it comes just weeks before the cop 27 climate summit is due to start in egypt, majors. his secretary general says, in spite of covered 19 locked ends, 2021 saw no improvement in global emissions levels. the 2nd most important, the greenhouse gases, methane, which is sir responsible for about 18 percent of the, of the warming and, and, and we have seen a record in the, in the growth of call me thank corner grayson or last year or we have be it, we it, we have studied these kind of reporting the reporting in 1983 and the growth and your growth, the was breaking record dra her last year. and, and, and, and, and this is of course sir. bad news campaigns being hitting other head of the 2nd round of presidential elections in brazil on sunday. but regardless of who wins environmental groups say, the brazilian amazon will likely continue to lose out. they say it will be

my parliamentary colleagues and to be elected as leader of the conservative and unionist party. alan fisher has more from dining street in london. he of course, at the time said the idea of tax cuts was nonsense. he warned that the country was about to go into some serious financial difficulties. and it turns out that he was right. this time with petty mordant and boris johnson decided that they weren't going to run against him. and he has no been appointed the leader of the conservative party. not yet prime minister. he's got some a some waiting to do before that is up to las truss to make an appointment with buckingham palace to travel to see king charles and formerly tender her resignation . like a sally journalist, arshad sheriff has been shot dead in the canyon capital nairobi. it was an unspoken critic of pakistan's government sheriff had recently received death threats, prompting him to leave pakistan at least 60 people have been killed in an air strike by the men mar military and the northern catching states. the victims were at an event celebrating the anniversary of the caching, t

or the stakes are crystal clear, especially when it comes to the right to choose that thing and alan fisher, he joins us now from washington. d. c. and this all sounds like very good politics when it comes to getting people out to vote, especially something demographics. while we're 3 weeks away from the mid terms and joe biden, and his team at the white house can look at the pause and see that the likelihood is they are not going to hold on to the house. and he's got to mobilize voters. how does he do that? well, if you back to june, and the supreme court essentially over turning roe vs wade, the essentially that seeing that abortion is no longer protected in the united states. there was a huge surge of support for democrats. thousands of people came out on the streets across the country. there was a huge surge and voters registering for the midterms. and particularly women and minorities who thought that abortion rights would very much be on the ballot come november. and they had to do something about it. there was also concern to about the protections of, of other rights such as marriage

he then held a call with us president joe biden. alan fisher has more from down a street on soon ex 1st day is prime minister. of course he spent most of the day at putting people into cabinet positions. jeremy hunt still stays as chancellor, the exchequer, the finance minister. 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 fill 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 to l. a brother, man 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 secr

and many parts of the world are facing an energy crisis of more on this that speak to alan fisher in washington d. c. allen. what's the latest on this in terms of the impact of the war? ukraine on the global economy? well, just seen the crystelina. georgie of a shuttling into yet another meeting and that has been what has been happening over the last 3 days here in washington, d. c. she is going essentially from room to room speaking to people hammering the same message. there is a confluence of events which is hitting the global economy. it stems from corporate 19 residue, where some of the supply chains are still being affected. that is the climate crisis that is causing a great deal of problems in many places around the world, from pakistan to the united states. then there is the cost of living crisis with inflation high, all around the world and the very real prospect that a 3rd of the world's economies will be experiencing a recession in the next year. and she's aware that when you talk about the impact that inflation has, it is in her was a tax on the poorest in society. and sh

through letter boxes bearing soon i will make people very upset. alan, thank you very much. indeed. alan fisher talking to us from outside downing street angela raina, the deputy leader of you, case opposition. labor party says russia, seneca wouldn't solve the conservative party's problems. i think it's a continuation of the problems that the conservatives have faced. what we've got, we're gonna have 3 prime ministers in 3 months. we've had to re, she think that was the chancellor, where we've seen low growth. we've not seen that growth in our economy. he's failed to deal with the inflation that we've seen. and families are really worried about the cost of living that they face. and i've heard nothing from wishes to knock in the well, we call why ever it's been that we've had the contest about how he's going to actually tackle the challenges that people are facing today. so the question is, what kind of leader wilson? i could be. 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 f

many next year would feel like a recession emitter war in ukraine, and the cost of living crisis. alan fisher reports from i'm f headquarters in washington dc. it's a dark time for the global economy. from all over the world. delegates and representatives are in washington to be told what many already know economically things are bad and they're going to get worse. the global economy continues to face steep challenges, shaped by 3 powerful forces. the russian invasion of your queen. the cost of living crisis caused by persistent and broadening inflation pressures. and the slow down in china, inflation is biting economies around the world, making it harder for ordinary people to do ordinary things, like feed their families or warm their homes. the i m f says the reasons are many under complicated. but strict covered loc don's in china has hit growth there and impacted the global supply chain. there are several climate emergencies under russia's war in ukraine, which has hit food supplies and caused an energy crisis. this winter in europe is described by the i m f is challenging, but warns next

and let's bring an alan fisher who's joining us and outside the prime minister's residence and office at downing street so. so allen, the, the new prime minister has wasted no time making cabinet appointments. tell us about them. well, he's clearly got a plan and he knows that he's got to get down to business very quickly. but to court mike tyson, everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the most. and that's what happened, of course, to less trust. she had a plan and all fell apart very quickly. 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

please questions and there will be tougher days ahead. alan fisher, al jazeera, westminster, of the leaders of france and germany say their relationship is intact despite differences. german chancellor, all of schultz met emmanuel mccaul in paris on wednesday, the french president hailed the talks as constructive. the 2 agreed to set up working groups on energy defense and innovation relations between the 2 countries afraid over europe position on those key issues. about francis has blessed the family of murdered edges. he had a journalist chevy, novel aqua in back to can city a special memorial mass was then held for the palestinian american. shooting was targeted and shot dead by israeli forces while on assignment in the occupied west bank. in may. stephanie deck a report a brief and intimate moment with the head of the catholic church. his holiness pope francis bless is sharina brother tony her 2 nieces and sharon's sister in law. we came as a family to the vatican to get our message across and continue advocating for hours one and on the she the in. ah, we were here to call on accountab

saturday, fueling speculation off a possible come back just months after he resigned as leader alan fisher has more. he. he is the front runner for the job is britain's next prime minister. but russia sooner is preceding cautiously a short written statement, promising integrity, professionalism and accountability. and then off to rally, support. i. the only other de cleared candidate is cabinet minister penny more than she has backing, but as yet not enough to hit the magic mark of 100 and p supporting her to get into a runoff election. i am very confident about the progress we're making and i will say to you that i am in this to win it. i think it's important for our party. we have a contest. i am very confident about on numbers. and it's i, the reason why i'm doing this is because i think i am best place to bring the party together. both had been waiting to see what bullish johnson was going to do. he flew in from holiday at the weekend to rally support for a political cumber his resignation almost 4 months ago led to las trust being elected as conservative party leader and prime ministe

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 national party said it was a sleazy back room deal. and what they're saying is that sula braverman who had potentially harboured leadership chances herself

since the 2nd world war, there's an acceptance that this can be business as usual. alan fisher al jazeera, at the i, m f. annual meeting in washington. russia has continued to launch missiles at several regions of ukraine, including the southeastern city of zapper, asia. ukrainian officials say at least one person was killed after 12 missiles hit the city on tuesday. and attacks in the western city of liver cause blackouts. you and as russia may have committed war crimes. mit strikes across ukraine on monday would kill at least 19 and injured more than a 100 people. while a capital key was among the cities targeted for the 1st time in months. but while people there are nervous life is getting back to normal. re challenge report gives residents are jumpy and now the day after the worst russian air strike since the beginning of the war, many a taking the air raid warnings more seriously last week, most would have ignored the sirens. on tuesday morning, the metro was filled with people taking shelter and i got scared because i didn't think it will happen again in the downtown. it is terroris

our coverage begins in downing street with alan fisher. he joins us now on this. certainly a sense of optimism and positivity around richie soon acts appointment, but as no getting away from the scale of challenges facing him. that's right. the often see there are no 2nd acts in politics, but she soon act has proven that there can actually be it's just 6 weeks ago that he lost the leadership election till his trust. at that point, he'd won that the majority of support from conservator and peas, but that didn't translate to members of the party. this time round, it was up to m p 's to try and put names forward to get past a 100 m p support barrier. only one m p managed to do that. that was where she cynic, who will soon become the next prime minister of the u. k. a northern ireland paul brennan has been following to these developments for a party which is as the 2 of its own prime ministers in the 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 leade

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. unprofessionalism. and now he's reappointing. somebody who just 6 days ago was forced to quit, and it was a gift to the opposition parties who've acc
