2:03 pm
a big difference between a small while a sizable minority, $54.00 m. p 's who have had in the letters of discontent to grand brady. that is very difference to a majority of conservative m p 's being that disgruntled ways for us. johnson that they want to kick him out of office. and that's what it would have to be that the secret ballot is a, is a plead my job, majority base to be that needed. so that's a 180 m p most, i think who are looking at this today a thinking that part of will probably squeak through this. the question of course is by how much if he does a cost because know you can, you can win at leadership concepts like this said, if i said no confidence or if it's a confidence that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to last that much longer in office to reason may had
2:04 pm
a vote to confidence against her in 2018. she won its box the following year. she was out anyway after a string of political setbacks that basically resulted in having said to resign. you know, just because you get 31 of these things doesn't mean that your political feature is assured. you have to go back to 979 to find an example of a vote of confidence in a prime minister that went against the prime minister. and remind us, rory, what's led to this discontent among, albeit as you say, a small number of m. p. 's from forest johnson's conservative party. well, i mean the, what brought this to a heads is probably party gates. i mean, that is the most pressing political scandal that has affecting birth johnson and his government at the moment. but it's not the only one. i mean, there are plenty of other things that conservatives might have to be upset with
2:05 pm
berth johnson about. i mean, a lot of them are involved involving policies. his handling of the economy is price to tax and things like that, but boil it down to $1.00 thing and it is the popular discussed. i think it has not too strong a word to use that voters have approached this whole aspect of whether or not boris johnson broke his own rules when he attended parties in downing street that were being held by civil servants and other politicians think clearly he did because he was fined by the police doing so there is the question of whether he intentionally or not break the ministerial code. but essentially these, you know, the politicians, the m p 's who want him gone think that that has so you tonisha his reputation and
2:06 pm
the way that the populace at large, the electorate see him that day a fearful, but he will use them the next election and m p 's being by larger a fatty self interested bunch that's i think what they're both concerned about, but to an extent with 2 important bi election coming up later this month could fit the people in the party who are discontented with the prime minister. unhappy with his leadership pulled the trigger too soon because if he does as you say, scrape through this, they'll be stuck with him for a year. at least. yeah, yeah. the rules. yeah. that's. that's what the rules say. according to the 1920 committee is bank, but back bench committee which, which writes the rules on how the conservative party lead ship behaves and ends and it's got rid of or whatever. they say that the rules say that if you, if you have leadership advice of confidence and it is one, you can't have another one within a year. but yeah, and then as you say,
2:07 pm
there are people within the party you an observer to thinking that if the rebels had just waited until after those bi election sort of coming out, which could go very badly for the conservative, then that would strengthen the arguments that boris johnson is no longer a winner. he's no longer popular in the eyes of the electorate. but i have say, you don't have to see. you don't have to look at that. bought actions of that poll after poll after poll is putting the conservative party way behind the labor party at the moment. those fatty uniform and also, boris johnson's approval. right. things are rock bottom. so he is being seen by many people around the country as the cause of the conservatives demise as a respectable force in british politics and whether or not concept m. p. 's take that is there. yeah. that that, that push to, to vote one way or another. well,
2:08 pm
that's going to decide or restaurants in spite. i'll just do is worry, challenge reporting live from westminster and central london will re many things investigators in bangladesh are trying to establish the cause of a major fire at a container depot that's killed at least 49 people to play sparks and explosion. what it ignited, chemicals stored in some of the containers at a port me the southeastern city of charter, gram firefighters, who responded to the emergency or among the victims. hundreds of people are injured . many of them are in a critical condition. al jazeera, tanya child re installation from the container facility inside a condo, talking to the assistant director training a fire, he told me that it's cleared danger there. still because a lot of the containers do have chemicals and they said exposure to heat. and if there's film inside, it could very well explode, so they don't want anybody nearby, but we still get a lot along lookers on spectators here, which really hampers that clearing operation. now the units of our military and
2:09 pm
naval spatial operations broke their helping the firefighters, who've been relentlessly working since last 38 hours. i mean, you really got to give it to them in this heat. they're still trying to diffuse many of the fields inside the container. now we also know from medical sources that some of the bodies still can't be identified because they're just charged beyond recognition. so a specialty id team is trying to collect sample for dna identification. lot of loved ones are still waiting to know if any of their relatives among the victims of many of them still are missing. people who don't know where they are. now one of the question i asked was, what is, is there any particular genes like what caused the fire? the assistant director told me a fire that he things on the team, things that the hydrogen peroxide when is exposed to oxygen and here it could very well spark a fire. that could be one of the reason. and then the container exploded, but that's not totally yet. determined they're still investigating that 3 member,
