his supporters celebrated the vote, but the scale of the rebellion is raising questions about his future. 40 percent, the prime minister's colleagues refused to back him. earlier we heard from a member of parliament and also from one of johnson's most vocal critics. of everybody was gob smacked by the number of tory and peas that voted against the prime minister last night and just was reflecting on that 140 tory empties with no confidence in their leader. it's a pretty big thing for a member of any party at parliament to come out and see that the they have no confidence in the leader. so i, i thank them for that. from the bottom of the house this morning that the prime minister needs to reflect on the fact that 40 percent of his m. p 's plus, but perhaps even more significantly, 2 thirds of the government backed ventures voted against boris johnson. now, of course we've seen motions of no confidence in previous conserved leaders, margaret thatcher, to reason me in the end,
5:03 pm
we can't run away from this kind of result that we saw last night for us. johnson will have to recognize that he doesn't have the trust of his own parliamentarians. he certainly doesn't have the trust of parliament. well is going to replace him. nobody can replace it. nobody stepped over is all it are rebels, you know, under $48.00 of them voted against the prime minister. it was for the head of boardman. been brave enough to say also in this country here. my policy, nobody so told up person step. so mom's rope or woman's room says i'll get the disease amount of policy. this is what i want to do, but i'll support the promised them. as good live. now to turn a hull, he's in london and joe was the mood there amongst posse members the day after that fight. well, i think there are 2 faces of the conservative party on display. now the day after that vote on bars. johnson's leadership on the one hand, there is the face. hopeful, perhaps, brave of a party, a government trying to move on a prime minister, instructing his cabinet to draw
5:04 pm
a line under these scandals of the past and grasp what he described as a massive agenda for change. and on the other hand, of course, there is the face of rebellion, 41 percent of his own, m. p 's, who voted against for his johnson many have gone public since that explaining why and just listen to this blistering attack by m p. julian louis, the chairman of parliament's intelligence and security committee. johnson thinks he can ignore the rules he said, and has an aversion to scrutiny bordering on contempt for the house of commons. impropriety at the top of government is impossible to defend, especially when it is habitual, and it is frankly quite difficult to see how any sort of positive momentum can be sustained. how any agenda for change can succeed, went to in 5 of his own. m. p. 's, hold views like that. so jenna, how is this likely to play out for the coming mom?
5:05 pm
well, i think it poses real problems, problems for the party problems for the government. this is a party patrol already tarnished by bars johnson that faces further tarnishing in the eyes of voters who see these governments as representing a roof for one people for the, for one group, for them and another set of rules for everybody else. there is the potential for paralysis in government, a party divided potentially at war with itself. there are wider concerns to simon company. the irish foreign minister worrying that johnson may reach some of the traditional leave us that sustains his power and popularity in sections of the party in the past, worrying that he may util, actually move now to ulta trading arrangements with you involving northern ireland and the republic of ireland, meanwhile, some of those rebels have already signaled what may be their next move. warning, johnson this morning, that if there is a significant change, a real change of direction in the coming months, well, they may lobby for the altering of the rules in the party to force another vote on

5:08 pm
european countries has been greatly appreciated. but the special representative, worried that predators were taking advantage of the situation and shared some 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 ross's ambassador of the you and walked out of the security council meeting after moscow was accused of causing a global food crisis with its invasion of ukraine. lastly, that venza left as european council president shall. michelle address the 15 member body. birthday to the hot. you house, no sanctions. audrey church shall sitter in russia 0. and even our sanctions on

5:10 pm
explains what this vote means is really government. they should have been a simple procedural vote. it happens every 5 years since $967.00 and has always been passed without a hitch. this time around was a hitch and it didn't pass. the reason for that is because natalie bennett presides over a very fragile coalition. the prime minister himself rules over a party or is a part of a party that includes is re palestinian, and case will include far right m case as well. and the only real reason that coalition came together is because they all agreed that they wanted benjamin netanyahu out had that's why they came together for these really palestinian em case voting for this low would have been voting for a continuation of the occupation of simply something that they couldn't do it through the government into a complete tailspin. now there are 3 likely scenarios. the 1st one least likely is that the government simply staggered on until the end of the summer recess,
5:11 pm
hoping that something might change the least likely the scenario. the 2nd scenario is that there is a vote of no confidence in the government that could come early as wednesday. meaning that the early elections, again, in israel is also a number of elections because of this coalition building. we will over the last 3 years, but elections are unpopular with the electro thing for too many of them in fall to shorter space. so it could well be that under the current method, a new coalition could be formed not paved the way for somebody like benjamin netanyahu to come in and actually become part of the government. once again. how sir, a media network continues to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigation into the killing of its journalist in the occupied west bank, showing up an act that was shot in the head by israeli forces while she was on assignment and jeanine. on the day of her funeral israeli forces storm the procession and started beating mourners, causing pul buyers to almost drop

5:13 pm
a swift and forceful response to such a test. because as the international atomic energy agency itself has said, there is concern that they may conduct a nuclear test. this would be very d, stabilizing to the world security. and i believe that not only the are okay in the united states and japan, but the entire world will respond in a strong and clear manner. cilla had hair on out to sarah staying in the power. molly's military lewis proposed a new timeline for returns civilian rule, and we joined a group of asylum seekers in mexico headed towards us as regional leaders discuss solutions to migrate crisis. ah

5:18 pm
specific terms and conditions, which the inquiry wouldn't accept. and so they didn't return to south africa. so certainly the assumption is the group to brothers would have absolutely no interest in returning to south africa, especially considering that they're facing corruption and ford charges related to a government project that was meant to assist farmers in the free state province. but instead, money was electrically siphoned off into companies owned by the family and their associates. international investigators have been trying to locate the good to brothers who relocated from india to south africa in 1993, as it began opening up after the end of apostate. and while their business empire grew their so to the influence back in india, income tax officials there have rated their homes and offices multiple times for allegations of money laundering. at least 3 state owned indian banks have been investigated for their dealings with the 2 brothers hydra. m a g as

5:20 pm
common interest in the months to come as to whether or not some africans are excited. they certainly on social media, they certainly in political corridors, they certainly have if excitement, but we're only know once we go to a ballast and the next general election happens only in 2020 whole. me know that corruption is a scourge in south africa and south africans actually, for the lack of a better word of corruption, which is why we've seen the n c sharply decline in terms of its electron majority. it is on to lose election in 2024. if electro change anything to go by. meaning that will be the ultimate test of whether or not this government delivers on corrections corruption investigations and changes the image of the governing and
