again. the path was clear, but it would have required that i go along with president trump's lie about the 2020 election. it would have required that i enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. that was a path i could not, and would not take chinese opponent, lawyer harriet hagaman, was endorsed by trump, who's very popular in

did. but the government business is going to be to every part of making sure that if we move to get we can actually achieve more than buying, getting with doing just saying to very important about wow, because we intend to deliver that pass is going to be a very important tool in that anybody, all government programs and government and i want to call me right from the beginning. the public service would be professional. and i expect that the company savage would stop and if one without any preference to try to communities or any preferance to political affiliation hub, post the board all the way down to their chief assistance. we wouldn't be expecting them to san a quote without fair but people because of the f one had to call up to the issue i have to accept who have been forced

to be there to get that full. i'm sending my commitment to topics out that joseph protected, that jobs are secure. they don't have to think they don't have to take with partition and political. i would do that. they should pay them equally effective or whatever, when it's called the physicians. we have let me also say that go into the future. our government must be ecology. we will shortly be

canyons that he wants to bring tenure together. he said that he was given a broad mandate to roll and that there will be no room for exclusion. he said no potter can, you will be left behind. we will move forward as a unified nation. he also said that a didn't have the luxury of time to waste. we need to deliver on our commitments to the people. now, he also said it was a competitive election and he wants to get on with the governing at the country and that the leadership that's been bestowed upon him and his party has it comes with a lot of authority. but with it also comes great responsibility and accountability as well. we're going to go to malcolm we have who has been listening into that speech as well. first of all are malcolm, it's significant that he didn't mention his

minister has defended secretly appointing himself to 5 additional ministerial roles during the pandemic. scott morrison said it was necessary to authorize himself with reserve powers during what he called unprecedented times. but this hasn't stopped calls for his resignation from parliament. sarah clark reports ah, he's unpopularity dominated the strand election campaign, and close the legal national party the election less than 3 months after scott morrison resigned his party leader is now under pressure to resign from parliament . after he confirmed that he secretly appointed himself to 5 additional ministerial rolls. during the pandemic, i believed it was necessary to have authority to have what were effectively emergency pairs and to exercise in extreme situations that would be unfastening. that would enable me to act in the national interest. and that is what i did in a crisis, plus and swore himself in as a joint helpful. mr. finance. resources i'm with is as well as treasurer between 20202021. he didn't reveal these additional portfolios to the public parliament, nor to most of his colleagues. that's raise questions with the current government, which is seeking advice from the countries solicitor general. the australian people went to an election, not knowing that any of this had occurred. not knowing that there was a shadow government operating in darkness. out with that transparency, i clear misleading of the parliament. whereby parliamentarians at ministers i held to account for areas in which they have responsibility. one don't get rid of. morrison says his actions didn't impact anyone but a guide. the former prime minister additional powers, which he used to overrule the results has been as to on an unpopular gas joint permit before the election. legal analysts say the governor general's role i the seeing the appointments and the lack of transparency and don't want an investigation. this is fundamentally inconsistent with the basic conventions about westminster system. the government, the ministers are accountable to parliament and misleading parliament as to who exercises ministerial power is completely at odds with those conventions. this is extremely unorthodox. it is a breach of constitutional convention for the prime minister may have apologized to his colleagues, but that hasn't quelled calls from within his party for him to resign from parliament. that's a step sofa that's got marson is refusing to take sarah clock out his era. brisbin, australia, inflation in the u. k. has had a 40 year high figures from the office of national statistics show. the consumer price index reached 10 point one percent and july. that's up from $9.00 for since the previous month. hire food prices pushed inflation into double digit stifles, such as bridge milk and eggs are more expensive. now. overall food prices rose 2.3 percent between june and july. and let's say they expect inflation to peek in the autumn. the u. k. central bank has world may had 13 percent this year. or for more on this, it's bringing connie la maya. she's an economist and ceo of my resources. she joins us via zoom from bern and switzerland. thank you so much for being on the show festival. it seems like every week we keep seeing inflation continue to rise. it can you explain why that is happening? why, you know, a lot of it is, and the entity price is that went up and an oil has come down, but gas in europe has become very expensive. and that then pushes up d inputs for either things for 1st month in consumer goods. the food, you know, they're fertilizer comes directly via directly, via it is produced from gas. and then you need to ship the products, obviously also to the supermarkets. so it starts with energy and it eats its way through the whole air, you know, value check what, what, what if anything, can central banks do to try and time these figures? well, central banks basically have for us to plot them when they said or inflation will be trans transient. and i was thought, well will it be, you know, when they pushed so much money into the system and they that the only leave they have at this time is obviously taking, taking quantitative tightening. so taking money out of the system and obviously going up with interest rates, but it's getting tight for, for, for poor families or, you know, lower income families. if, as many economists predict, the em destiny, that the bank of england goes up. another 2 percent on its base rate, then it will get very tough on mortgages and it will also, you know, it just, it just will will be very tough for people to invest. so this is a tough one. central banks have been idle for too long, and now they're paying the price. okay, you for your that the race for 10 downing street is going on at the same time as all this is happening. what does this mean for the 2 remaining candidates? i guess it's the main focus point for them going forward. yeah, that's one of the main focus points for them going forward and you know, when them, when i, when list trust says she wants to go, she wants to, she wants to go down with, with, with taxes. that's very difficult because the deficit is so big. and you know, it's, it's, it's for both of them, people will watch what they say on how they will come back inflation. but really a, this mainly the central bank who will be at the steering wheel and, and very little can be done as long as we are in an energy crisis in europe. so it's, it's a really tough. it's a tough situation for everybody, for the politicians, for the central bank as, but especially also for the lower income families. because if you are a single mother of 3 kids and you work 2 jobs, how on earth are you going to make ends meet exactly? well, thank you very much, that is cornelia maya of an economist with my resources from us for us, from switzerland. thank you so much. thank you very much indeed. or cuba says it's allowing foreign

under his leadership, it comes a day off to his defeated rival rejected the result of last week's election. as a travesty. australia's former prime minister scott morrison has admitted he secretly score himself into 5 additional ministerial posts during the pandemic. he is facing criticism over the move and for failing to disclose it to the public. but one of donald trump's most prominent republican adversaries has lost her reelection bid in the us state of wyoming. miss chaney said she would do whatever it takes to deny the former president the 2nd term were let's take a closer look at what the results tell us about donald trump's influence on the republican party of the tin house republicans who supported this 2nd impeachment of donald trump only 214 representatives including las cheney lost. in each case, donald trump endorsed their opponents and for decided not to run for reelection. they said that had threats from trump supporters. oh scott lucas is an, a meritus professor at the university of birmingham in the u. k. he joins us live from there. thank you so much for being on the show. a 1st of all, what do you think a chinese law says about the trump effect? his ability to, to continue to hold huge sway with conservative voters in the us. well, at a starting point in the area like why, why homing, which is not very densely populated, it says that trumpets can win at local level, that they can unseat their perceived foes, such as lead shanie, despite all the prestige. despite all the headline of political background that she brings, however, i think we need to be conscious here. it does not necessarily mean that the trumpets have taken over the republican party, let alone america, at a state level. it is much more difficult to mobilize all those forces to deny the election to say that trump was wrongfully removed in 2021. and is especially difficult at the national level for trump to run it for president 2024. in other words, this mythical base of tempest does have a local effect and we should not minimize that. but the wider issue here is we've got a civil war within the republican party. we don't know which where that civil war is going to go. and more broadly, we don't know which way the political crisis, the greatest since $865.00 in the united states. we don't know how that is going to turn well in november's elections, let alone in the next 23 years. it just on the mid tin say, i mean, do you don't see his influence continuing through the med timms and some of those a significant and you know, important prices well, you got 2 levels here. first of all, there have been some republican primaries were trumpets have one. there have been some republican primaries where they have lost. that's dependent on which state you're talking about. the tropics, to also tend to do more better in house elections than they do in senate elections . but if you want to go up to november, when you grow up against democrats, when you talk about the senate races in particular, a lot of republicans have political and personal baggage, trumpet, ste, i should say, how personal political baggage, which means they were running. it's difficult water for them right now. i think that the republicans, i. e, the trappist for example, are not doing that well. and he states like pennsylvania, georgia, and you have to realize that whereas some states may continue to invest in donald trump's deceptions. there are other states that turned against the republicans in 2020, like georgia, arizona, and they could do so again in november. okay. just sticking with donald trump for a minute. and, you know, he's obviously facing huge pressure from multiple legal avenues. do you see him announcing his re election bid for president soon as a way to try and put him back on the prosecutors that are coming at him. the. this is the easiest part of the interview. donald trump's running for president 2024. it's only the timing of the announcement that we wait for. now, the bigger question here is, does he succeed? does his spectacle overtake reality? and there are 2 factors to watch here. the 1st is, is that a lot of republicans are not really persuaded that donald trump is the way to go. you might call them establish repent, republicans, mainstream republicans, but with all his baggage, he is not necessarily going to be back say by the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. i think the republicans will look for a troposphere, who is not donald trump. so like florida governor randa santos, and secondly, all those legal cases potentially could mean that trump could not take the presidency if he went. because if convicted and i know it's a big if he would be disqualified from federal office on some of the charges, such as his violation of the presidential records act or to date his violation or alleged violation of the espionage at be fascinating to see how this all continues to play out. thank you very much that scott lucas from the university of birmingham in the u. k. nice folks. the united nations new invoice for me and my is on her 5th visit this and being appointed last year. no lane has a is expected to meet officials from the military june to, to discuss what the, you in kohls, the deteriorating situation in the country. her visit comes in the same week. ousted lida uncensored. she was convicted on moral corruption charges, extending her prison sentence to 17 years while tony chain joins us now. live from bank hawk tony. it can you just give us an idea of the significance of this visit all, i think the fact that the un special envoy has decided to go is very significant in itself. we don't know very much about the chip that was not announced with any great fanfare, or i think the world's media found out yesterday a very short notice that she had arrived in napa door, me and mars capital. we don't know very much about who she's going to see other than that, the a military spokesman for the government said that she was expected to see the foreign minister and the leader of the military agent m general manager lie to day . we don't know yet. well, that's happened, but that was scheduled for today. we think she's going to leave tomorrow, but she has always maintained as has her office in the you and that for her to go certain conditions must be met and that would be that she was allowed to meet all parties concerned in this conflict. now lot of people who saw that as meaning that they were going to insist that she met uncensored. she that appears very unlikely. we don't know, it's not definitely not happen, but i think given the wrong answer, she had another 6 years added to her sentence to day. and the military seems so committed to keeping her out of any process, including her a potential piece process, or that i think it's very unlikely they would have allowed her to meet her. so i think there are going to be some big questions. her office is saying that she's not a scheduled to make any public statement at this stage, but i think a lot of people will be wanting to know how, what exactly she has been doing there and how this has done it, how this trip is seen, not to just add further legitimacy to the military gender, just on the military agenda. we've had our leaders this morning ever said that i see on has cave to external pressure and we've obviously seen searches, conviction on monday. it's pretty clear as that are the gender is not backing down at all. it is and i think this illustrates the problem. furthers you. and special envoy there is very little diplomatic space to operate and we've seen the military john to maintain their position. in fact, operating more steadfastly in the execution of 4 political activists early this month or the end of july, i think caused a real sense of despair and as yet who had been trying to slowly tempt the generals to engage with them. have been trying to spend cent special and boys of their own intern myanmar. and to get the amir man's merge a government to agree to this 5 point clip piece plan. well, mir must. pretty much just rip that up and throwing it back in their face and i think that is the lice in which this ship takes place. now if there is a tiny little bit of diplomatic space for knowing who's are to operate, and i think she'll be trying to do it. but at this stage, i think it's very hard to imagine at where she can. the governments of the region have failed to do so both the close friends like thailand, but also the block which is more opposed to mere mars military alike, indonesia, the philippines, malaysia, who have been very outspoken in their criticism of the military gender. so if she does see a small gap in which she can open some space for negotiation or even for dialogue, then i think she'll be chained to take it. but at this stage, i think everyone watching from outside miramar finds it very hard to imagine where that might be. and a thank you so much. that's tony ching, for us, a light from bangkok, the south korea's defense minister, he says, north korea has fire to cruise missiles. they were launched into the sea from on sean and south piano gan province. sol says it's analyzing data to learn more about the launch with help from the u. s. military. that comes a day after solon washington started 4 days of joint drills and preparation for a training exercise later this month. how correspondent rob mcbride details. why the timing of these miss are launches is significant. the timing of this does seem to be significant more significant. it seems than the type of missiles themselves. these are set to, i've been to cruise missiles fired westwood towards the sea that separates the korean peninsula from china. now if that's the case, then these would be the 1st cruise missiles that have been fired since january. but that has been a flurry of other mis activities since the start of this year, from the north, in particular, ballistic missiles, either short range or longer range, ballistic missiles, the type of weapons that are banned on the un security council resolutions. now in contrast, cruise missiles are not banned, but the launch wednesday doesn't coincide with an important news conference that is being given here by the president units of y'all, who has marked his 100 days in office. now he is a conservative, unlike his liberal predisposition. he takes a far tough line with the north and in fact, during the news conference outlined his position to north korea saying he's not interested in cosmetic, his style, photo opportunity, summit meetings with his counterparts from the north that any future dealings really has to be based on formal substances progress made the basically he wants to see a far more sincere approach taken by north korea to ward the nuclear is ation before the holding upset stomach. so this could be a message from north korea to him and his administration. but it also coincides with the starting of drills this week between us and south reinforces ahead of larger scale military joint exercises next week. the type of exercises that always seem to anger and provoke north korea. so this could be seen as being an early expression of north korea's displeasure towards those indonesia is celebrating its 1st independence day at its future capital. newsome, tara is on the east coast of the island of borneo, president, jehovah. dodo has lived to move away from jakarta that's slowly thinking, but activists sworn the move could speed up

allegations of corruption obstruction of justice and receiving bribes. but castillo says it's both political, pursue cat persecution and racism. marianna sanchez has more now from lima, with just one year in office, president federal, gusty. he was now facing 6 criminal inquiries, and the federal investigations are getting closer and closer to home. a sister in laws suspected of awarding government contracts to friends, turned herself in a nephew, suspect of receiving bribes, is a fugitive, and one of castillo stop allies. her former transport minister in charge of the government's largest budget is nowhere to be found. estie uses the media is trying to portray his family as corrupt. his defense lawyer has requested the judiciary, stop the press from publishing any information regarding the president's case. as d o says he's a victim of racism. i will go as they will fare against this government because i come from the countryside. it's totally racist. i do not speak like them or sit at their opulent tables because i walk with the people. ah, 70 percent of peruvians now think he's guilty, frustrated than nearly all former precedents are involved in corruption. peruvians marched in support of the public prosecutor, leading the propes as the use allies say the investigations are politically motivated, great das off here. and i firmly reject the claims and insinuations that the public prosecutor's office is part of an alleged political plan. oh, an opinion pulls his 24 percent of peruvians think he's innocent and continue to support the 52 year old former rural teacher and farmer as the uses he is cooperating with prosecutors in each investigation. but every time he goes to testify before them, he asserts his right to remain silent and says not another word. at the loaner his yoke is a full them into a. he has taken the absurd decision of not making his judicial situation clear. a politician cannot simply remain silent before a prosecutor. politician must be accountable, transparent, and castillo is the least transparent leader in our history of an integral politic, was a glad out of the steel has survived to impeachment attempts at now, former allies are testifying against him in the face of so many investigations unprecedented for a sitting precedent, his days enough may be numbered. medina, sanchez, i just seen a do. mexico's

a rampage that left at least 9 dead in soothe waters. and a wave of violence in the city of tiquana all in the span of a week has left many wondering what exactly is going on. we know so far is that
