of the conservative party leadership ballot photo among the members of the party 160000 members of the party for britain's next prime minister the 1st time in history that a prime minister has been selected in this way rather than elected either by m.p.'s or by actual voters now boris johnson as you said the former foreign secretary is expected to win and to win of a comfortably over current foreign secretary jeremy hunt with johnson's central campaign pledge to take britain out of the european union on october 31st do or die come what may deal or no deal he's woods and it is that last part no deal that has so many people even within his own party concerned and no more visceral display of that opposition than to have a minister resigning yesterday on monday and a number of other senior cabinet ministers the chance of the justice minister the international trade secretary all announcing their intention to resign preemptively on wednesday before they could be sacked by boris johnson over his promise to push

ahead with no deal they will join the backbenchers and the opposition to no deal an indication to him of just how difficult things are going to be he inherits a wafer thin majority of just 3 there's talk of defections to the liberal democrats by election to come possibly to buy elections it's entirely possible that boris johnson could find himself without a majority when commons returns from its summer recess at the beginning of september and that by the end of october instead of fulfilling that central campaign promise he and the conservative party could instead find themselves preparing for fighting a general election and john as you say that silences that the winner will face are going to be men solidly i mean at home as you've talked through the broad as well. absolutely the chart challenges on both fronts enormous international challenges of course brics it itself is one britain distancing itself from its largest trading

market giving up the position of preeminent power in the world's largest economic block but of course besides that things are hotting up in the gulf issues with iran britain at the center of those jeremy hunt and perhaps his last interventionist foreign secretary on monday saying that he wants to deescalate tensions with iran but announcing his intention to set up this international maritime protection force francis said it will do so so more assets heading into the gulf to reach the iranian foreign minister knows he's dealing with the tail end of a government but nevertheless named checking boris johnson yesterday in a press conference saying tell boris johnson we don't seek confrontation the reality is that what happens next will largely i think be determined by boris johnson presuming he is the prime minister his willingness to do what. donald trump wants him to do rather than what the british people do all right john

hall there in westminster jenna thank you well as i was saying there one of the key challenges facing the new u.k. prime minister is to contain the ongoing tensions with iran and those bars jonson's tipped to be the new prime minister tehran says it doesn't want confrontation with the u.k. over the seizure of a british flag oil tanker in the gulf last week i think it is very important to go to drums and ask. 10 downing street who understand that you know on does not seek confrontation in iran who. normally. based on mutual respect. well the u.k. is calling for a stronger western led military presence in the gulf the u.k.'s foreign secretary hunt says he wants a european led naval mission to ensure shipping through the strait of hormuz and that's where iran sees the british flying all the time go on friday claiming it was violating international maritime law the u.k.

is calling it an act of state piracy lansley has more now from london this emergency couldn't have come as a worse time for the u.k. and the ministers who left the crisis meeting all know it's apart from anything else they'll be a new prime minister this week probably with a different take on the situation. still the u.k. can do nothing in the face of what it regards as a provocation by iran the way in which the capture of the u.k. flight tanker was filmed by the commandos who took control of its refusal to obey the demands of the british frigates in the strait of hormuz to let the time to go all cut very deep at the heart of a british military establishment used to the days when britannia ruled the waves and consequently the foreign secretary told parliament minister the u.k. would seek a european led maritime missions of the gulf states because iran had to understand the consequences of its actions if iran continues on this dangerous path they must accept the price will be a larger western military presence in the waters along the coastline not because we

wish to increase tensions but simply because freedom of navigation is a principle which and its allies will always defend the british government has been widely accused by many m.p.'s of having no dig a strategy over this crisis with iran let alone the naval fire to protect tankers in the gulf now there are concerns that this administration has taken its eye off the ball and certainly that the u.k. has been ill prepared for this iran certainly appears not to feel intimidated by the u.k. putting out images of the tanker crew none of them british maintaining their all in good health and being looked after it is far more concerned about getting his own tanker back from gibraltar where it remains impounded if the u.k. did that the crisis would be over but it would be the wrong signal to send to the americans who continue to pressurize london to follow their harsh align with tehran

by wednesday they'll be a new prime minister here by thursday a new set of government ministers and by friday very possibly a new strategy towards iran may be a more hawkish one than the one on monday and one which is more aligned to the american position but iran knows that the u.k. appears quite weak at the moment and by itself does not have the strength for a fight barnsley al-jazeera in london. kenya's finance minister has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges and rewrote it is accused of awarding contracts and payments for the construction of dams to an italian known company it's alleged $28.00 people have been arrested in connection with the case catherine sawyer joins us live now from county in northern kenya catherine so what happened in court today and what exactly are the charges against him. while the minister is in court with 4 others he looks quite subdued and the prosecution is still reading out the charges which include defrauding the government off

$244000000.00 for the construction of this failure to comply with procurement procedures abuse of office and the list is still going on this is something daryn that kenyans are watching very closely it's a huge scandal we had from the director of public prosecutions yesterday monday in a statement he said that the construction of these dams has not even began 4 years after it commissioned it was highly inflated by a $170000000.00 a quarter of the total amount of the money has already been paid to this italian company that was awarded the contract at a time when it was filing for bankruptcy and among the money some of the money that was paid out was for compensation for this land where the dams are supposed to be according to the d.p.p. that's the director of public prosecutions this land was never even part chased in the fast play so like i mentioned this

a case that is being followed very very closely by kenyans catherine how significant is the case given that so many people have been implicated. it's hugely significant 28 people have been affected he has ordered for the rest of 28 people including this minister who's quite high profile up close to both the president and the deputy president he's the face of kenya in meetings with important financial institutions like the i.m.f. and the world bank and also when it comes to sourcing for international loans to fund this mega infrastructure of government projects that are going on but it's also it's also into the scandal has also been a very poor. something that kenyans have been know about it's been going on you have been talking about it for months the minister himself has several times been summoned by investigators to questions and we're already seeing some politicians

say this fight against really. from specific communities some of these individuals of being used as the previous we've also had the deputy president william ruto himself saying that this money that is said to have been lost is way lower than the figures that the director of public prosecutions. is giving out but then a lot of kenyans you talk to will also say that look stolen money stolen public money stolen public money no matter how much it is and people needs to be held to account catherine thank you. now again being so doesn't use the former president john way of ordering the killing of an a.f.p. journalist data haidara in 2004 at a public hearing in the capital banjo left and johnson confessed to being involved in the killing along with 2 other offices he says he was paid for the job and was told the money was a sign of appreciation from gambier's radio talk show break here not

a privileged few but for every one of us. the former home secretary came to power knowing the process of leaving the e.u. was her biggest challenge but we've already got one mind. but aiming to deal with social and racial inequalities as well she was also the 1st leader to visit president trump after his election although the relationship was never the warmest from the start though she sought to define what breaks it should me and quickly announced a deadline for starting the 2 year e.u. divorce process without cross party consultations and we now know against the advice of senior diplomats there were people in the labor benches who were almost sick in their hands out waving saying i want all your caroline flint's leeson and is that and the rest of them and she ignored that for a long long time because she wanted to. carry the conservative party with she should have realised that that was a no nonstarter after negotiations with brussels got going made surprised most

people by calling an early general election hoping to boost her small majority and promising one thing above all strong and stable leadership strong and stable leadership strong and stable leadership it backfired horribly she lost her parliamentary majority making getting any bricks it deal through almost impossible to survive her conservative party joined forces with northern ireland's democratic unionist party that hardliners. beyond westminster despite her attempts to laugh at herself to resume a never really connected with the public in the same way as boris johnson the man she appointed foreign secretary only for him to resign over her breaks it deal and undermine her efforts to win parliamentary support public sector she was also weakened by episodes like the party conference speech where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. well before her decision to step down critics said the wheels were coming off her leadership with hindsight you could argue it was tories

amazing flexibility which i did have premiership increasingly she found herself backed into a. and not just by hardliners among her own party and northern irish alloys but by her own red lines even her own catchphrases this is my famously kept repeating no do is better than a bad deal i think by the end of 10 years she's come to realize that's actually not the case and the fact that the prime minister and indeed a number of ministers kept reciting that mantra has meant that many people among the british public now see no deal as the best bricks it option whatever happens mix the one issue that overshadow to resume a time in office is the one that will dominate politics here for the forseeable future which is relationship with the european union. al-jazeera. now 4 countries are involved in an argument over what happened in the sky is near north korea seoul says it fired hundreds of warning shots at a russian military aircraft that violated its airspace russia's defense ministry says its strategic bombers didn't violate korean airspace while japan is launching
