the grown of our situation in the state. staff at the official residence of britons prime minister, held regular friday drinks parties during karone of hours long towns and according to a report by the daily mirror, a newspaper post. johnston's office already apologized to the queen for one such gathering, downing street, which happened on the eve of her husband, prince philip's funeral, lost here. on wednesday, johnson apologized in parliament for attending another drinks event. in may of 2020, the opposition and summon johnson's own party, a calling for the prime minister to resign. johnson insists he thought he was attending a work event. a senior civil servant is investigating the matter, and her findings are expected next week. ah, public opinion appears to be turning against johnson, but some people are at least having fun with that. a flash mob of partying johnson lookalikes turned up at the gates of downing street on friday one percent here,
12:07 pm
the apology was half hearted. it didn't seem to intimate in his mind, he seemed to believe that the rules were not broken and the guidance was fired. richard justine conceivable, cody and demick of what this government are about, what they believe in how they treat the general public. god knows what else goes in that place. so i'm not surprised at all. what i am surprised is that these guys are still hanging on to power, responded on something that is when getting up when it gets, it's absolutely disgusting that somebody who is supposed to be a liter leaves by breaking their own rules. i think it's a, to be honest, it's contemptible. but he would, he would tell you that the idea was if you told roy in parliament which he has been found out to do, you should resign everyone. they said, you put your mars harvard distance and all shorthand,
12:08 pm
if he's doing all that and he's in his garden, i feel it's ok. we all make mistakes, but they have to really make surety say, sorry, the right way to people and both apologize is wrong. but not a disaster needs. barker has more on what this could mean for bars. johnson's future, i don't think we can, underestimates the kind of political damage this might do to boyish johnson in the long run. he's a man who's been able to dodge scandal in the past, but this just doesn't seem simply look as if it's going to go away a short notice. he's hunkering down one of his family members. we don't know which one is tested, positive gove it. which means that he has a pretty good reason to not be in front of cameras defending his position. but the number of voice is clamoring for him to resign is growing. not just from opposition mpi. not just from his critics, but also from members of his own political party at

12:10 pm
more and more you have this really embarrassing situation where number 10, that triple chose to buckingham palace as well. so in terms of where this is coming from, it feels to me that this happened a long time ago. people have known about this for a while and because we have this report as feasible, 7th grade coming out, expecting next week or so. a few people a probably bit worried about what does going to say. will the junior members of stuff get blamed for something? and therefore, things now be exposed that actually highlight what really happened. so when it is initial apology to the commons, a few days ago there was a lot to, i'm sorry for the perception or i'm sorry if people and felt that way. but this was a work event, this was within the rules identity that really washes,
12:11 pm
i don't think people really take the face value. and it seems, even though this report is not out yet, and it's meant to be independent. the lots of briefing around what the report like a say we heard yesterday that it went find any allegations of criminality. weren't necessarily apportion blame. it will look into a bit of detail as to why things happen and maybe make some recommendations, but also the bowl. a few greys that she's not really that judgment on the prime minister. she's still a civil servant at the end of the day. so what happens off the report is find the unknown. the u. s. has accused russia of finding a so called a false flag operation in eastern ukraine in an attempt to create an excuse for an invasion. the pentagon says there's evidence russian agents might already be in the country to carry out acts of sabotage, blaine, ukraine,

12:13 pm
pretext for incursion. claims to that, russia was behind a cyber attack on ukrainian government websites that shut them down for a period of time. the words be afraid and fear the worst. we're also projected on several official sites. but any scheduled annual news conference, the russian foreign minister dismissed the allegations and maintain that it was the us and its allies that were stalling the diplomatic process by not responding to rushes demand that nato membership for ukraine be taken off the table. as you say, we are waiting for the written reaction. we have reasons to believe that our partners have understood the necessity to react quickly precisely and on paper. and they have understood that we are not going to wait forever. but of course, there are plans to drag it on and on. the us senate is continuing to debate
