A comeback. Also on the program, keith tells ukrainians to conserve power as russia steps up, a tax on Energy Facility with winter approaching, people are being asked to switch off the electricity for much of the day. The African Union schedules piece talks to resolve the civil war. And if your peers know them take wry region, where millions are facing a potential potential humanitarian catastrophe. Ah, im glad of as well come to the program. British Prime Minister lets trust, is resigning after just 6 weeks in office. Her announcement comes after a bruising week of you turns on economic, an Energy Policy and a backlash from her own conservative party. Her resignation makes her the shortest serving Prime Minister in british history. After weeks of chaos at 10 downing street, a moment of clarity was trust fans frenzied speculation on her future. By telling the british people that she is stepping down, i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. I have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. Only 6 weeks ago, trust was confirmed as Prime Minister by the late Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. But the disastrous budget from the no former chancellor, quasi quartet ng, spelled at the beginning of the end, high tax rates are home secretary swell. A braverman walked after a row over immigration. And then a vote to band fracking, played out amid chaotic scenes sealed trusses fate hill. Oh ha. Despite her own failure to vote, she won the ballots, but many tory and peas rebelled amid white spread anger, that such a regime was ever approved by the party. I am livid and you know, i really shouldnt say this, but i hope all those people that put this trust in number 10. I hope it was worth it. I think was worth it for the minister red box. I think it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because for the damage they have down to our party is extraordinary. Tory park, anger hasnt been confined to the conservative scott. There are calls from opposition and voters alike for the general election. We talk scott dog, so we call have a revolving door of tails. We can have another experiment at the top of the tory party. The is an alternative, and thats a stable labor government. And the public retitled to have their say. Thats why it should be a general election. No, any general election does. This is a cycle of rubbish. And they were face rubbish of all rubbish. None of them fit for the job. Shes a think i to day. And certainly the policy decisions that she might, none of the british people also areas in this country we have to nominate despite now we have a non elected government backlog democracies, etc. As a trust says her successor is to be voted in by the party by the end of next week, with boorish, johnsons former chancellor richie sooner a critic of trust, his budget plan as well among the front runners to regime good with the students. Or you can list the w reporter alex for whiting alex. She was promised for 45. 00 days the shortest serving u. K Prime Minister in history. Both her down for preordained or did you bring that on or so . Well, 1st of all, lets just unpack that 45 days. It is extraordinary that she was only Prime Minister for 45. 00 days and also extraordinary how quickly she has gone. Was it preordained . Well, i would say that she pretty much didnt bring it on herself because she promised a very right wing agenda. She promised unfunded tax cuts, and more than anything the market were very upset about that pound sterling fell dramatically. Government borrowing went up, mortgages have been almost impossible to get to the whole thing imploded because of her. And then weve seen you turn off to you turn off to you turn all culminating really in yesterday with the resignation of the home secretary. So her interior minister and then an absolute shambles in the house of commons over a vote. So that was all is trust really. Was it preordained for look at the u. K. Is in a mess at the moment she did inherit a bad lot, but she said he did not make the most of what she was given. Talk about inheriting her predecessor boys. Johnson is apparently trying to make a comeback r b. I mean, its extraordinary, isnt it . Interesting actually boys johnston at the moment is in the caribbean on holiday. We understand, but hes cutting short his holiday to come back for the weekend. And i have not denied or that the friends have not denied that he would possibly be in the running for that. And quite extraordinary, you might ask why . Because he left over, he was pushed out because of candles within downing street, and im making many of his own side very angry. But hes also got supporters. So lets look at this tweet or just missed it, but maybe we can bring it up again. James, dont judge saying i hope you enjoy your holiday boss. Time to come back, few issues at the office that need addressing. So he definitely has his supporters, but also many within his party who dont want him. They dont want him back. If hes certainly not a unifying candidate, but if this does go to the Party Members a 160000 or so, who may well be asked to vote next week . The majority of them are still supporting, for example, over the growth. Its still very popular, so we cannot rule out for is johnson yet again. The cause for general election are growing law law. The by the minute cover conserved is really for to ignore it. Or they will do everything to ignore that core because they do not want to general election. Why . Because they are absolutely being killed in the polls. They are about 30 points behind the main opposition labor party. So they will do everything not to have that. Secondly, they still got a big majority in parliament, 80 or so conservative. M p s. So they walk say they do not need to go back to the polls, but it cause for election on growing across the country. And i think that they will certainly not stop, even if there is a new leader who proves more popular than less trust this labor really came to take over. Well then going to be inheriting a pretty difficult a lot within the u. K. Weve got a cost of Living Crisis Energy crisis were seeing in other parts of the country. It is not going to be easy for them then not going to have to give what they would like, which is give you help Public Services by giving them more money because there isnt the money. However, i think that, you know, no one, none of these people are going to say no to power. So i think absolutely they want to be in the next 12 years of conservatives. Many including labor saying enough now its time to move on. And for us to have something you, alex, for whiting there, thank you very much. O ukrainians are being told will switch off their electricity for much of today. The mezzo is in response to rushes, widening, attacks against energy facilities.

The governments ethiopia says please talks on the 2 year old civil war and the country is nolan to grey region will start in south africa next week. A civil war has been fought between the european government and neighboring every tram on one side of the take right Peoples Liberation front. On the other since 2020 a troops broke down in august and violence is intensified since prompting a growing number of international voices. The issue, warnings over the worst and humanitarian situation that, that he is what the chief of the United Nations antonio with terrace said in new york this week. The situation in it, your peer is spilling out of control violence and destruction. Averaged alarming levels. The social fabric is being ripped apart. Oh, still it is in the theory region of it, your peer must end now, including the media with that all and these engagement video 3 and armed forces from it your peer. There is no military solution. Earlier i spoke to William Davidson is a senior, ethiopia analyst arent the think Tank International crisis group. And he told us why the different parties are at loggerheads rigidly started after a political dispute between the leaders and the federal government. And turned into a constitutional dispute in 2020. That led to the outbreak of, of civil war. Ready in november, hence the war began, weve seen atrocities. Weve seen, the federal government allies essentially besieged to graze region. Weve also seen our region take a portion of the great territory. So the reasons for the war have evolved to pick up. Now, good cherish. Recently spoke of an alarming situation integrate, is it International Pressure that has actually prompted these pistol m the yesterday we to some extent that is that correct . Certainly the, the African Union and its, its partners and particularly the u. S. Have been active in trying to get the parties to, to. 1 conduct negotiations were yet to see, of course, whether these talks actually happen is going to be very difficult to make progress in any tool that can be in which you said to be in south africa. And because the res, momentum bind ever try any, theo could push into to gray, and they look set to try and did a decisive blow to the teacher left to grace ruling party. So it may be hard to get a cessation of hostilities, even if the talks can be. Yeah, that was, i would have a my next question. Do you think these talks could actually bring about peace and what needs to happen . But that it will ensue when of course, there is a hope that the talk and bring about peace, but there is reason to be concerned that they wont. I think the things that we would need to see happen is for, they are trying to get the government to hold that effective. We would need to see the agreement to reform or to face the possibilities, the restarting, of some monetary deliveries into take, right. We would then need to see the federal government left other elements with the blockade that could set the path for political negotiations between gray and the federal government and the other axes and treating retract with a very long way to go get that sort of person. We know who will mediate in these talks the mediation effect the lead by the African Union. They have the lead. Ready mediators is former president of san jose, and he will be supported by the former kenyan president and former deputy south africa president. Theres also let me to support the us, you and un envoy. But at the moment, these are just plans that the talk with yet formally again.
