this is al jazeera. ah, it is great to have you with us. i'm cyril benya. this is the news, our live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, former u. k. finance minister richie sumac, announces he is standing to replace las trust as prime minister consolidating power . china is choosing thing is the pointed communist party leader for a 3rd term in the face of rising tensions with western powers. a wide spread power outages across ukraine after more russian missiles target energy facilities in search of water in drought hit kenya will be telling you the story of one woman who makes a long and dangerous journey every day. also with 28 days to the world cup player is trying to hit their form a just the right time to force their way onto the plane. tickets on ah, so it is just after 10 o'clock g empty and we start in the united kingdom were former chancellor richie sooner has just announced that he will run to become the next prime minister. candidates hoping to lead the governing conservative party have one more day to gather the support of at least a 100 members of parliament. former prime minister boris johnson is expected to be soon ex main challenger, but, but he has yet to announced his candidacy. officially, he met snack the talks on saturday. tallies by british media suggest that to nak, has a cynic, has a clear lead in the number of m. p 's backing him. however, johnson's backers say that he also has enough to run senior cabinet member. penny morton has also declared that she's running, but it's unclear if she has enough support to even enter the race. i'm not sharing like embassy day. so with the, with the others. 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 our numbers. and it's i the reason why i am doing this is because i think i am best place to bring the party together. oh, stephanie decker is live for us in london. stephanie, we knew ritchie sumac was running, but now he's made it official. yes, it really is all about what is official of what isn't a he as early as yesterday, his compet already said they have the numbers. they have over a 100 combinations, which is what the candidate steed. as you mentioned there to run for the post of the leader of the party and prime minister. so just in the last half hour, he tweeted a statement saying i'm, i'm standing to be the next prime minister. look, is a great country, but we face a profound economic crisis and i want to fix the economy, unite our party, and deliver for our country. now fixing the economy, it is a major task. we're talking about all the ins and outs of the specifics of the political back and forth. yeah, but this is a country and people facing a severe economic crisis. so whoever comes into downing street is going to have to tackle that immediately. now we're going to have to wait and see what bars johnson's next step as these are 2 men who have a very turbulent passed by they had that meeting last night. as you mentioned, there was some speculation, perhaps a deal would be struck which would prevent the members of the conservative party voting for the next prime minister. this is was going to happen if you have more than one candidate, they'll be voting. and then we'll know on friday, but bars johnson this morning coming out to supporters and saying that he is not backing down. that he is the man for the job. and that despite the public tally of those, supporting him, which is around 50, i think still at this point in time, he says in his supporter, say that he has those numbers. so at this point, it's a waiting game, whether he's gonna so his a hat into the ring today, whether he's going to wait until tomorrow 2 pm is that deadline on monday until all kind of need to say that they have the numbers padding more. did the only one saying that she's running not clear yet? if she has those numbers? stephanie on that bore is johnson, richie soon act meeting. i mean, absorbers of british political life will, i think will agree with this that is not lacking for drama. this said this very short race for the leadership. what we know, if anything about that meeting yes, the meeting was behind closed doors, so we have absolutely no information as to what was discussed. i think, you know, it is clear, as you mentioned there, these 2 men are not friends. they have a history bars. johnson appointed richard soon act as chancellor. he was quite unknown at the time, but the bigger picture in the that the, the events that progress is at risk. as soon as ben was one of the 1st to call the bars johnson to stand down amid the scandals that bars, johnson is still under investigation for i'm so bars, johnson sees him as having stabbed him in the back of being the man that perhaps led to his downfall many others would tell you that far as johnson has managed to bring those things upon himself. having said all that, this gives you a little bit of context between the animosity perhaps between the 2 men, but no one is backing down. it seems certainly at this point, sir, according to the words of ours, johnson, he hasn't still officially put his hat into the ring. but i think from what it looks like at for the moment, at least it looks like they. the 2 men could be their front runners for, for this race full of his back and forth. i think when you talk to the people here, we bring it back down to what really matters. you have all this political back and forth with personal issues and agendas, and people wanting to get their job. this is a party that is hugely fragmented. this is a party at its own neck for years now. and this is also what you're seeing. the question is, can this party even govern moving forward with the divisions that there are? why many people who are quoting for a general election, but this is a party polling at an all time low. so observers will tell you that that is not going to be something that they will be doing and certainly not voluntarily, but a lot of people, a lot of, but brits wanting to be able to have their own say, as do is gonna be running their country well, stephanie deca reporting live from london. thank you very much. let's take a look back at boris johnson's downfall as prime minister. he was already a device of figure when he came to office in 2019, many britain saw him as an opportunist who used turmoil around briggs to push out his predecessor. but his handling of the pandemic the following year and the scandals that emerged hurt his popularity, even among conservative voters. in december last year, reports emerged of several illegal parties at johnston's official residence during coven 19 locked downs. in june, he survived a confidence vote, but with just 60 percent of his m. p. 's backing him. but johnson was finally forced out the next month after several senior cabinet members resigned and that includes richie su, neck is rival today. all right, let's make the daniel give chance, skier, conservative member of the u. k. parliament. he joins us live as it were from lambert. tar and mongolia. do you already know who you're going to back in this race? no, i don't because my liberal party in trewsbury is conducting a, an online poll of our members i, which will be published at sir 5 o'clock this afternoon london time. and it's my intention to oversee wanting to see the results of the poll of my local party members. before i make my final decision. will you decide? so will you do what the poll says if they say, penny morton, you back morton, if they say boris johnson, you back johnson? well, i think the problem that we have with this election is that it is so polarized the characters are creating so much colors, asian not only with party members, but with the electorate themselves. the characters, the, the nature of the characters. so what's happened over the last few months it's, it's created a very difficult to impassioned and on times tense situation. and therefore, i think the best thing for a member and under those circumstances is to not only take into account his or her own feelings and consideration, but also those of the, of the man. so outside of that, that the result of that will out the influence the way i yes. okay. so let me ask you differently than what are you looking for in the next prime minister? well, what i can say is that, you know, i, i'm very disappointed and just the somebody who was dedicated my professional life to the conservative party. i've been a conservative member apartment to 17 years. i've never known this sort of rancor and division. and it is very d, stabilize destabilizing for the party, these, they blows it for the country. so it's extremely important that we find somebody who can bring the party together, who can try to engage with the electorate and prepare us for a general election because, you know, the labor party is getting stronger and stronger. i think the very left wing in the united kingdom and i think they will do great damage to our economy. so our round of us, sir, is not each other. our adversary is our, our political opponents and the socialist party is so in that case, does that rule out boris johnson because he was persona non grata when he left it wise? the conservative party now considering bringing him back only a few months later. what is he done in the interim that would change the way he is perceived by the general public and by conservative other than go on holiday? it. it's not what he's done. it's what's happened a subsequently to his removal from office or the media. and i got a lot of responsibility on this. on the british that me, he had nothing to 6 months in the united kingdom. apart from a media hysteria as to whether or not the prime minister had a glass of wine or a piece of cake in the, in the garden of number 10 downing street under our country was taken over for 6 months by that media heights. subsequent. ready as a result of his removal at we've heard you government, you prime minister, a completely new approach, which has actually failed to secure a want mrs. stross wanted to secure through the financial markets and that is course even greater problems for, for us. so we have a saying here of the united kingdom, old on to nurse for fear of worse and sometimes throwing somebody under a bus that you, that removed and a half way through a period of office has very kilometers consequences. and that's what we're experiencing at the moment. right, daniel kuchinski, thank you very much. and to your point on media, i suspect the british media would answer that they were holding the prime minister to account. thank you so much for your time today on al jazeera. thank you. chinese presidents using ping has secured an unprecedented 3rd term as head of the communist party. he's also announced 6 other members of the party senior leadership . the group is dominated by the president loyalists come to the day after the 4th. he concluded, if week long congress, which solidified choosing things grip on power. susie a fine. yes, she don't go on justice. china can't develop a nice dilation from the world. it needs china for its development. through over 40 years of relentless reform and opening up. we have created the twin miracles of fast economic growth and social stability. the china will open its doors if wider, we will be steadfast and deepening reform and opening up across the board and a prosperous. china will create many more opportunities for the world. 63 year old at lee chung, it is now china, 2nd highest official behind president. she is expected to become premier in march and take charge of china's economy. unlike his predecessors, he hasn't served as a vice premier or worked in the central government in any capacity. lee has bounced back from his mishandling of a corona virus outbreak in shanghai where he led the local branch of the communist party. like the rest of the new senior party members, lee is also close to president. she patrick falk is following the announcements from basing. well, this was a combination of a week of deliberations behind closed doors here in beijing. and there was always an expectation. the president, she would pack his in a circle with loyalists, giving him unfettered control over the party and country all along the way. he has shown a willingness to cast aside party traditions including age caps and term limits, and that was no difference with the appointment of new faces on to the polar bureau standing committee, including the appointments of lee chang, chide she and lee c. none of whom have previously had central government experienced the appointment of lee chan in particular was noteworthy because he is set to become chinese new premier. and that was another break with tradition in that he has never served as vice premier of. we also saw the downsizing of the wider politburo from 25 members to 24 members, and there was no place for any women on that top advisory body for the 1st time in 25 years. at the unveiling today also present, she talks about how china could not develop isolated from the rest of the world and the world lead china's development as well. that was an important thing for him to have said at a time when the whole world really is a grappling with a slow damn. but it was in stark contrast. one might argue with the focus last week and the opening dress where he talked about the need for china's self sufficiency. but whatever direction china takes in the years to come will no doubt be under president. she's terms particularly with the make up of this new government at china's new. busy per euro standing committee will govern for the next 5 years. the 7 member committee is china is equivalent of a presidential cabinet and it's the country's highest decision making. body president, choosing thing, has increased his powers as he secured an unprecedented 3rd term. for the members are new to this committee, effectively handpicked by she, they will be responsible for policy making and day to day political affairs. david hawkins, a political economist to fun manager and the founder of milan, china, he joined the united live now from beijing. so david, she laid out a vision for china during the congress. what does he see for china on the world stage? i think she wants china to have more influence on the world stage. but i think unlike a lot of waste and commentators who say that he is trying to rival washington and to dominate, i don't believe china or she himself has that i little i'm, what she really wants to do is to have a more secure china. and right now, america is many every week putting more sanctions, restricting china on the technology side of the external pressures i consider re tough for the chinese government. the face of foreign policy has been assertive. you can think of hong kong taiwan trade war with the usaa during the trump era. as he consolidates powers, he's just done. will it become more assertive? well, it kind of looks at the tie one situation as boys has, which is it's part of china. so china is not moved against taiwan and i don't believe that they intend to. and if they are pushed by the way to do so. so i think any idea of an invasion is eminent, is actually not correct. hong kong char, i went to 5 after the $2900.00 priorities, which were severe. china was very heavy handed in trying to sort out security in hong kong. and that something that has that hong kong with the description of it. for the rest of it, child is not moving beyond its own borders and anyway, in fact, in the last few months, it's even resolved some of the tensions of india along the line of control. and so the chances of conflict day between the garrisons has reduced considerably. but the biggest problem is china's face, the world is still very upset and sometimes re peevish. and if you think of a recent debate in manchester, where apprentice there was dragged into the embassy and mix it up. this kind of thing is not, not diplomacy. so we hook the wolf warrior diplomacy that has characterized johnson direction will be reduced in the next 6 months or so. we have to have more confidence so they can do that on the issue of taiwan, specifically, what is raised some eyebrows is the language that choosing being his use, he has not ruled out force to, to achieve the rena cation of china and taiwan. and that's what has some people ask him, well, could she, could she in this, in this 3rd term, try to take by one by force you say, no. i don't think he intends to. i mean, who knows, i'm speculating my goal or observance. and i'm going on the information i get from prince here. but shy of china, an attempt to take a tower by force would bring about sanctions. 5 right of those of russia suffers. the damage to the chinese economy would be catastrophic in china. is that so in a sense that caught out, she's statement that he would not without force followed by the statement that no longer would they say they would leave taiwan to be so that by china, i say effectively, american has stepped up and said, we now see taiwan as effectively a country we will protect rather than a part of china is the head for last for years. so, in a sense, it's not about tie one. i don't think there's any deep interest that the u. s. hasn't taiwan. it's about trying to block chinese rides. so a lot of what's going on is not that motive. china realizes that stuff. they're not stupid enough to be brought into something with shows the reacting. i think they will meet very carefully before doing anything with david non thank you for joining us. i'm out of here today. right, we've got plenty more head on the news. our, including a struggle to survive in pakistan as tens of thousands deal with hunger and homelessness. in the wake of devastating floods and it leaves new prime minister officially takes the

attacks on power facilities. over $1000000.00 ukrainian households are experiencing blackouts after a wave of strikes. in the last 2 weeks, keith says attacking civilian facilities ahead of winter amounts to terrorism. as much as 40 percent of ukraine's energy related facilities have been seriously damaged in the strikes. the government's implemented rolling power outages of up to 4 hours across the country and people are being urged not to use appliances during peak periods in the morning and evening to prepare for the blackouts. the national energy company has asked ukrainians to stock up on water and warm clothes. harry faucet joins us live from keep. so harry, it's ukraine is a few days in now into this power saving reality. how's it going? that's right. well it did. the situation is getting worse in terms of the strikes on energy facilities. are overnight. the 20 minutes. you saying that it shut down 16 suicide drones. 14 of them's in the southern nikolai area at 2 of them are in the north and in the east, and we're seeing some information now as to exactly what was struck in nikolai of a. there is it, there images of a factory that was hit, are also a yard outside the apartment building a heating pipe apparently hit there and energy facilities in litski to the west of ukraine are 3 rockets were told, struck there. and so yes, as you say, there are these comprehensive measures being instituted to try to save on power. and here in care of our recently announced measures, they're going to divide the city in the area, rounded into 3 zones. and within each of those zones, there will be some areas that will be hit with these rolling blackouts or potentially twice a day. we're hearing a lot with that. they have instituted the city wide heating system earlier than usual that was instituted about 3 days ago about 30 percent of households here. and give now are at have access to that heating system. but even that has vulnerabilities with it. and so they're talking about potentially mobile units, track born heating systems that can plug into schools or apartment buildings or other facilities in order to try to keep the heating on. so there is a real recognition that this is going to be the tactic going forward from the russian military. and they need measures to try to, to do what they can to be as resilient as possible. in the face of that, let's look at that. what's happening in the south of the country now the most important city they're most strategic city, of course being for us on what's the latest on, on, not fighting, but on the recent reports that we got, especially from the russian side that ukrainians may be planning and eminence counter offensive against 1st on will. yes, this offensive has been coming for a long time. of course, in the, in the 1st instance, it seemed to be used, or at least it was capitalized upon as a, as a sort of a faint. and then there were all those advances by the ukrainians to the north and to the east. and, but now a seemingly from what the russians are saying and doing. it does seem that so that the ukrainian position is great. be strengthened because of either the russian troops or in and around her son. and so we've seen the images of civilians being evacuated across the any per river. we have heard from the russians a, a command to immediately evacuate, and the ukrainians are also now saying the credit ministry of defense is said on sunday that and there has been a dissolution of russian occupation. governments in 3 towns are to the east of her son within her son, a blast. so all sorts of indications that there is a withdrawal of some kind going on in that area. also, counter accusations are being flung from each side that there are plans to try to potentially blow up a huge dam to the east up river of her son, which would be devastating to the area, especially south of her son. it could also very much interfere with the water carriage from ukraine into crimea. so the idea of, of that being done by either side would seem to be a huge own goal, but each side is accusing the other of having plans to do so. harry faucet reporting from key, thank you very much. we
