party gates saga, where johnson and many of his stuff were found to have flouted cove. it locked down rules at downing street gatherings. johnson became the 1st p. m. judge to have broken the law while in office deficient inquiry into those events, criticized a lack of leadership. the british public off fed up fed up with a prime minister who promises big, but never delivers. fed up with a prime minister who's presided over a culture of lies and lawbreaking, at the heart of government, fed up with a prime minister, who is utterly unfit for the great office that he holds, its victory for boris johnson, but hardly a ringing endorsement of him and his leadership, one commentator on monday said johnson's appeal within the party was a mile wide, but just an inch deep. and so it seems. johnson himself will undoubtedly battle on fighting tooth and nail to retain his grip on power. but his options are rapidly
12:05 pm
dwindling. the current rules mean it will be at least 12 months before a new confidence vote can be caught. the questions about the prime minister's judgment and credibility remain, and precedent shows that surviving a confidence vote often represents only a stay of execution for tory leaders. rather than a full reprieve, pull brennan al jazeera westminster was cut life to westminster al 0. we're a challenge, sister rory with 40 percent of the prime minister's colleagues. having no confidence in him. what hope does he and his loyalists have of drawing a line under all of this? well, there are some, are the furtive photos are from this morning. of course, johnson. i think we might be able to, to see them now. clearly trying to avoid the cameras using the, the back door downing street is in a meeting at the moment, a cabinet meeting with what should be a, his kind of price orient guards the,
12:06 pm
the most loyal of his politicians of his empties the cabinets, the ones that he is appointed, i'm but i wonder how much trust for us johnson can really have in all of them. is he looking around in that meeting and examining their faces and try to work out which ones might have voted against him at last night's, whether any of them, a secret traitors? obviously, he is going to be pretty on his best show for them is a boost to resume his boyish enthusiasm, the positivity that we know boris johnson for. but this is a man who has been wounded by the latest events. how much is only gonna transpire? it's only going to come out over the next weeks. clearly, if you look at the papers this morning, they're all, or most them at least are pointing to a damaged prime minister. there's something shakespearian about watching a leader whose power and authority is slipping away. it was a victory in the,
12:07 pm
in the, in the most literal sense, births are, you know, to have a vote of confidence in the 1st bases is damaging for a leader to then have a 148 of your m p. say that they don't want you there. well yes, you can call it's a win, but it's not really a win in any meaningful sense. there are now difficulties that are coming down the line to buy elections that are coming up. the rich, the concept is may well lose. the cost of living crisis is biting out ordinary voters. what should we be watching for in the coming weeks? well, we should watch for a flurry of policies as far as johnson tries to assure up his authority. we might well see a cabinet re shuffle as an outside chance, slim chance of him cooling a snap election. but we should also be watching for any further resignations, if any of the big cabinet positions decide they're throwing in the towel than this whole thing is going to burst into flame again. l 0 were a challenge reporting live from westminster in central london. many thanks. did rory

12:09 pm
let us go to the russian enough accusations off russian service personnel, committing crimes of his sexual nature. since the very beginning of our special military operation, ukraine has become a favorite tactic of the key regime in our western colleagues of zeros. christian salumi reporting from the you and says that it's difficult to determine just how bad things all. they're worried that the actual number of women and children who've been sexually assaulted is much higher than the 124 cases that they have documented so far. given that 90 percent of refugees leaving ukraine are women and children, there's also grave concern that they're subject to human trafficking and sexual predators. course the outpouring of support for these refugees from european countries has been greatly appreciated. but the special representative, worried that predators were taking advantage of the situation and shared some
12:10 pm
disturbing stories of questionable people who had been circulating around these camps, offering rides to women and girls, and so on that could easily be preyed on in that situation. they say there's not a lot of vetting of the people who are coming to help in some of these instances. and they called for more vetting to ensure that trafficking is, is kept to a minimum russia's ambassador to the you and stole down to the security council meeting after moscow was accused of causing a global food crisis with its invasion of ukraine. la selina benzo, left as european council president shall michelle address the 15 member body. let's get to the sites. the you has no sanctions on the agriculture sector in russia. 0. and even though sanctions on tuition transport, victor do not draw beyond our, you borders. you may leave the room,

12:12 pm
. we've also got to remember that the group 2 brothers do have legal representation in the u. e. and previously, when they were expected to testify at a judicial inquiry into corruption in south africa, they refused to do that. or at least a city would be on the specific terms and conditions which ones accepted. and so they have not returned to south africa previously. and it's expected, they'll fight to the mail to prevent that expedition from happening. so it is likely, it may take some time before some africans get answers from a family that's alleged to be involved in a to a very large extent in corruption and looting and ford in south africa. very much linked to former president jacob summa. this is part of a broader fight against corruption in south africa, should we expect for the high profile a rushed what certainly, what many of africans are expecting,
12:13 pm

12:14 pm
been ramifications around to these allegations and just the extent of the corruption what the group does might and might not have done. and the role that the former president played during his presidency. i was 0 for me to mila reporting live from johannesburg for me to manufacture. dude. still to come here on, i'll just hear a will it be 5th time. lucky. kenny is opposition. liter joins a tight race for the presidency at a make or break moment. millions of chinese students take the national university entrance test on the pandemic restrictions. ah hello, welcome to look at the international forecast. we have see some roll alive, the shower sun, usually wet weather, really into parts of indonesia, recently. it should be easing off, but getting up around 90 millimeters of frame impasse that was still
