Is at 50 sevenths Prime Minister, and the youngest, in more than 200 years, is admitted mistakes. Promising to restore trust and government, and warning of difficult days ahead, soon, not conceited, the country was facing a profound economic crisis. Will that challenge now lies in the in tray of re appointed finance minister or chancellor of the exchequer . Jeremy hunt . While so ill abraham an back as home secretary, we charged with maintaining National Security and public safety. There is a po brandon begins al coverage now from downing street richey soon akees, brittons 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 his predecessor list truss some mistakes were made soon. Ex message. Im here to fix those problems. And that work begins immediately. I will place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this governments agenda. This will mean difficult decisions to come. Richey soon act warned of a profound economic challenges that the u. K. Now faces. Now as he sweeps into down the street for the 1st time, has Prime Minister, its time to set out his agenda. Addressing the question about his mandate to govern after so many changes of Prime Minister without an election, he put the election winning 2019 manifesto at the center of his program and in a perceived swipe at both forest johnson and liz trust. Soon i committed. I have work to do and to restore trust. This government will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability. At every level. Trust is earned and i will earn yours almost same spot. Just 90 minutes earlier, danny street had seen the departing speech of liz trust, the shortest serving Prime Minister in british history after just 50 days in charge. There was little for her to claim credit for. So a short speech ended in a simple platitude. I believe in the british people, and i know the right to days lie ahead. Thank you. Soon acts elevation to Prime Minister has received congratulations from around the world. The u. S. President joe biden described the 1st British AsianPrime Minister as groundbreaking. Pretty astounding, a groundbreaking milestone really matters. It matters and from the European Commission chief version of on the land. We count on a strong relationship with the u. K. To defend our common values. But in russia the kremlin said it saw no grounds for hope that theyll be any positive changes. Soon i could promise to unite all the talents of the conservative party and not just give jobs to his allies. His 1st ministerial appointments also emphasized continuity. Jeremy hunt to stay. As the finance minister James Cleverly retained his post as foreign secretary. And so ela braverman returns his home secretary, stability and confidence. It seems to replace turbulence and division full brennan al jazeera. Danny st. Alive now to the alan fish is also covering the story from downing street and to la lead is now finding themselves welcoming at yet. And now that Prime Minister in this country allen with their wishes cynic having spoken to present joe biden and vladimir lance, gave ukraine. Hes getting down to business, making those 1st calls from donnie street. His 1st goal was to Vladimir Zalinski at Vladimir Zalinski in the last 3rd tweeting out that he had an excellent 1st call with richie sooner, and also a call to joe biden that we expected. That would probably be the order, of course is bent most of the day, putting people into cabinet positions at jeremy hunt still stays as chancellor, the exchequer, the finance minister. That was a very clear message from ritchie 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 wouldnt be a good thing to do. Which is why jeremy hunt stays in his position. I seems cleverly stays as, as foreign minister. That was perhaps a bit of a surprise given that he supported it boorish. Johnson late on sunday in his attempt to the political resurrection. But that the mood music seems to be that he does of good job in the foreign office. And so he stays there. But there will be a change at the home office, the interior minister. And what is interesting for risha 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 so l abrahamson who was sacked just 6 days ago for sending government documents from her a 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 and hes 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 is at its highest rate in 40 years, a fuel bills will start to come in as the winter starts to bite and they will be higher than many people would expect. And even with government help announced by alice truss. So hes got to make sure that people feel as if things are Getting Better at many people understand that they may not actually get better in the short term. That there are, as richie sooner said, on the steps of donning street a lot of difficult decisions to be made. But unless they feel that things are Getting Better than they wont give him that the support that he is looking for. Hes also got another problem. Hes got to bring the conservative Party Together the fractions and the party essentially accounted for the political career of Boris Johnson and certainly that of las truss. And so he needs to make sure that everyone is working together, uniting behind his message, not splitting off because at the moment in the opinion polls the conservative party are we behind labor. They would face an electoral wipe, hote, and if he doesnt get the conservative party or facing in the same direction or walking towards the same goal, they are facing an election wipe out at the next general election within the next 2 years. So hes got a lot to do. Todays, just the one. This could have been his easiest day. All right, thank you very much. Lets as theyre from downing street and fisher. Well just hours before soon. Ac officially became Prime Minister more data from the u. K. Office, the National Statistics underscored the scale of the economic challenge. It shows it nearly half of all adults who pay energy bills of finding it hard to afford them. 30 percent of people paying rent or mortgages are also finding it difficult. Adding extra pressure on struggling households. A cost of every day grocery items as increased 17 percent in the past year. The price of cooking oil is shut up by 65 percent. Pastor is up 60 percent, and the cost of britain, staple hot drink t, as increased by 46 percent journeymen, as jonathan poor says, professor as economics at Kings College in london, thanks very much for joining felonies. Our so weve got many different challenges coming together. Inflation high interest rates, energy prices, record levels with a cap in place for now, but its thought to be on sustainable. Where did, how does he begin to, to sort through this mass . Well, a large part of the job of restoring stability in the short term has already been done, as you can see by the relative calm on the financial markets. That was, even before he took off this list, trust, it already abandoned her mitty budget, which post date, which has very large unfunded permanent tax cuts, which caused the problems. And so i think im still to net will stay broadly with that. I think the big question for him though, is whether he tries to also introduce significant spending cuts. Now this would, that was please the markets, but it would also be given and that weve had 12 years now of spending restraint, which is had pretty nasty economic and social consequences from u. K. It would be a big mistake in some respects, and particularly this issue. As you said, low income households are facing very shar, rises in the cost of essential goods. Mr. Soon that when he was still, chances are planted, you may, that benefit to low income households will be operated in mind with inflation. Theres been some speculation that he plans to break that promise and cost benefits in real terms, low income households. And i think that would very quickly, right, you know, that was close and very large economic and social problems in the short run over the longer term. The big challenge is, is that lisa ross was actually asking the right questions. Although she had the wrong answers, she pointed out that 12 years of conservative government at delivered level growth, low productivity, leg broken wheel, right . Yes, im hadnt really been a Great Success from economic perspectives. The question is, what is mr. Soon active to do, to restore or the media inter, sorry, difficult, isnt it . Because as you say, the markets have conned since in many budget that was a brutal reaction to the proposal made by this trust thats now going away. But in many ways, even though you have a leader who is thought to be has economic credibility and is thought to be more competent than his predecessor, the problems remain the same. You still have high energy prices, you still have inflationary pressures. You still have households and businesses facing these issues, but at the same time, there is a lot of pressure to spend on things like defense and Public Services. So how is he, hows he going to manage the sort of spending cuts that he has to make with the tax right there. He doesnt have to make sense, right . That is not, you know, that is a, that is a judgment that is made by some people. Thats a political. There is a need not to bring the public finances to backward sustainability over the medium term. I was sensible way to do that would be to raise to reform and restructure the british fax system in such a way that rate the source of mass that it would produce decent Public Services. And you know, broadly that is what i think that, you know, the evidence amount is that most people would prefer and some of our taxes if that meant the Public Services. But that is quite difficult politically that, that, thats also true. But then spending a choice, you can go down the road with spending, which is what i thought people would like him to do. And that would satisfy the markets. Or you could go down the road or saying no sending us, were going to find problems properly. And were going to have not now, over a medium term, were going to have someone higher taxes, i think, particularly given the poor record of what a guess is living in the last 12 years, at least part right . That, that would be a preferable y at the same time, whichever way he goes, used to have a printable plan other than on tax and spending to restore graph. Ok. Now i think again, the stress asked right questions there, but she was, she didnt really have a chance to deliver anything. And i think it frankly very difficult for what is essentially elaine dot conservative government to deliver very much in the way of supply side reform and also is sent to pretty negative signal on that by pointing as you just said, the, the recently disgrace time secretary silberman who just a couple of weeks ago made it much more difficult for the u. K. To get it long sought after trying to deal with india by saying that indians were responsible for far too many irregular vitamins in the u. K. And therefore, we should not make migration part of the deal with india. So he has an internal tensions to manage. He wants to deliver anything on the gross. And hes a bit of a clash that between them some of that sort of cultural policies with what needs to happen, perhaps economic quote. Thank you very much. Do appreciate it. Professor jonathan portez joining a staff from london here still had for you on this news hour. Ah, its gonna bring you all the latest. So no protests there ensued on this saw it was gonna bring you all the laces. So now whats happening there . People gatherings mark one year since, so we saw the transition to civilian rule effectively derailed by a military takeover in that country. Also bring you over a chest from world cup preparations in council. Do stay with us for that. Ah, now its a task being described as a challenge for generations rebuilding ukraine after rush his invasion. You leaders have been meeting in germany to lay out a plan for reconstruction, which is estimated to cost at least 200000000000. 00. Step boston has more from berlin, a plea for a 21st century marshal plan for ukraine, similar to where the United States designed to rebuild western europe after world war 2. Its her strongest, will i miss hers . The destruction as measurable. The software in the country is great. Estimates of extent of damage very widely. Its probably already many hundreds of billions of euros. In the medium term, however, the issue will be reconstruction. The destroyed houses and roads will have to be rebuilt, factories repair, to fever. This is a task for generations to kona of gov, of your president , for laudermill zalinski addressing the conference from keith urge countries on dorn, us to stick to the promises National Fasting covering. While our pests Recovery Plan is 17000000000. 00 for critical immediate construction of his a hospital schools bicycle transport an amateur infrastructure, it is necessary to give people a new base for life already. Now we have not yet received a single sent for the implementation of the foster Recovery Plan. I urge you to soon make the necessary decisions, the u. S. And e, you have each said they will pay ukraine 1500000000. 00 a month to keep the country running, but to rebuild ukraine a lot more is needed. The main question here in berlin is, who will finance reconstruction of ukraine . Since the start of the war to United States has spent billions of dollars, mostly for military assistance. Now theres a lot of pressure on the European Union to deliver. We know how difficult the Economic Situation is for europeans and americans. High inflation, high energy costs, high cost of living costs. This is where leadership comes in. This is where our political leaders have to have a very honest conversation with their citizens. And the message for me, for this conferences, the cost of, of helping ukraine now is, is small in comparison to if ukraine fails in to russia, invaded ukraine, an estimated 300000000000. 00 of russian assets have been holes in the world wide. The e. U has been looking into legal ways to confiscate these assets, so they can be used to rebuild ukraine. But experts say it may be too many legal and political obstacles for this to happen. Step, fasten al jazeera berlin well rash as react, reiterated its accusation against ukraine that is planning to use a dirty bomb. There are fears that could be an escalation in the war and ukraine, that was a closed door meeting. Un Security Council to discuss this and diplomatic editor james base has more russia is doubling down on its claims that ukraine might be about to use a dirty bomb. Thats radioactive material, mixed together with conventional explosives. They took the issue to the Security Council, whether it was a closed meeting. Afterwards, the deputy Russian Ambassador spoke to reporters, we think is a very serious sir. Danger, serious threats. Ukraine has the capacity you count, ukraine has all the her reasons to do so because we know that students, kiddies, jim wants to awards 1st of all defeats secondly wants to enroll for nato, for their ex, ah, flesh with russia, which is very dangerous. And the but which will be profitable for and ask is him to remain in power. Western diplomats were dismissive about the russian claims. Theyre off to the 3 meetings this week. Weve had one, we have another one, the biological and the 3rd one to explain what they refuse to accept an inspection from the un about the drones that we have seen coming from the wrong. So its completely wasting our time and its misinformation. And its just all. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Government has invited in inspectors for the International Atomic energy agency. In the coming days, they will visit 2 sites in the country. Us National Security advisor jake sullivans, that his government continues to engage with the kremlin to bring home basketball at
