ah or as johnson is remaining defiant, vowing to carry on as u. k prime minister. thus, despite at least 30 resignations over the last 24 hours, including 2 senior cabinet ministers, forest johnson faced tough questions inside the u. k. parliament, as he once again fights for his political survival. both of finance and health minister step down on tuesday saying they've lost confidence in johnson following a series of scandals. the latest crisis centers on the revelation that johnson promoted an m p. despite knowing about allegations of sexual misconduct does not just some emma also behavior unacceptable in any walk of life. it's there for all to see, but he ignores it. it was the same when his ally was on the tight from the lobbyists . it was the same when his home secretary was bullying. stop. it was the same when taxpayer money was being abused and it was the same when he had his mates parted
6:03 pm
their way through, locked out any one quitting. now, after defending all that hasn't got a shred of integrity next. the speaker isn't this. the 1st recorded place of the sinking ship, fleeing the raft to the very simple reason why they won't be out. and that is, that is because i know this is because that a big bit. otherwise we are going to get on and deliver on monday. and when another general election that is in the i was interested. oh i, let's go to the d baba, downing street in london, edema, the number seems to be going up per every hour. where are we in terms of the resignation so far? will leave as he said, it's hard to keep pace with vio, resignations of m, p 's, who are on the government payroll, or where i think we're over. he now and so after, on tuesday nights,
6:04 pm
and the big resignations of the cabinet members who were richie sooner can saturate javert as you were referring to a whole host of not just stern, not just stern julia ministers, but also parliament. she private secretaries and trade and voice, her firm written letters, and they're having 2 main themes, really many of them using are the, the, the words truth trust, integrity. but just in the last her hour or so, there was earth, a letter from 5 minister saying that it was a question of ineffective government. basically saying that the issues that had come up in the way that number 10, it dealt with them. herds, medford government was not functioning and pleading with bars, johnson to step down for the good of both the party and the country. will you just heard about what kind of mood, the prime minister is in. he says that he will be staying to do the job that he has a mandate for now, the leader of the opposition customer,
6:05 pm
he heard they're really emphasized in paula, a numbed prominence. his questions, the young, what he called the enabling by boys johnson of a sexual predator. when boys johnson allowed home chris pincher to become deputy chief whip. so it was all about that at the beginning rather than issues of honesty and lying to colleagues and so on. but a sadie javin then got up in parliament and made a statement in which he said clearly that he had been lied to by officials here over party gate. the series of events in downing street which led to the police issuing a series of fines including to boris johnson. and as he hinted to his colleagues that the time was for them to follow him in resigning his fury was obvious. credit the tightrope between loyalty and integrity has become impossible. in recent months . i mister speaker,
6:06 pm
i will never risk losing my integrity. i also believe a team is as good as its team captain, or the captain is as good as his or her t. to load, he must go both ways. the rents of recent months have made it increasingly difficult to be in that t. nadeem. of course we saw of extremely bruising prime ministers question sir, boyce johnson is now facing more questions that the liaison committee. i mean, had the government was accused by the opposition of being an ale as ed last class of nodding dogs and what, what is the feeling there are amongst opposition, m. p. 's and also members, the conservative party. how can the party force johnson out that's a key question. they have of course, been blow after blow. let's not forget that. and there was a vote of no confidence a month ago boys johnson won that, but with 40 over 40 percent of his. m. p. 's voting against him,
6:07 pm
then the party last 2 very important by elections and which, which by large margins, which were seen as a, a real turning point, a real moment where many of baris johnson supporters started to ask questions. he vowed to carry on saying there would not be a change in his psychological outlook. now all eyes are on the 1922 committee of bat, bench impedes which is going to meet later on wednesday it's clear that they're trying to push for a change to the rules which mean that a new vote of no confidence can be held within 12 months and we're not sure how quickly they can go. they're supposed to have a new executive being voted on next week. but we're already hearing that on wednesday, senior conservative politicians are preparing to go to boris johnson and personally clear to him to step down to avoid the chaos and the damage to the party that that might involve. he was asked for his johnson in that committee in the liaison
6:08 pm
committee, what or whether he needed the queen's permission for a general election, which some people think he would push for. he said that nobody wants an election right now. nobody knows what will happen if and perhaps when there is another vote of no confidence, a dame, barbara and alex trade. thank you. will also in london is our soccer, political commentator and contributing editor in of our media. she joined us from our london cedar ash. it's probably no secret to people who know your face internationally that you all of the political left. you must be disappointed that johnson is sir. good, very, very keen and adamant that he's going to remain in power. well, i think my disappointment stems from the fact that constitutionally there's not a clear mechanism to get rid of him if he's able to survive a vote of no confidence. and he insists that he wants to stay. and that's because the british constitution, as many of whom you as will be familiar with,
6:09 pm
runs on the principle of being a good chap. so if you're a good chap and you can be shamed into it, hearing certain standards in public life than you do a right, if you, you know, don't fulfill their standards, then you should do the honorable thing and resign that workforce. johnson is proven throughout his career is that he is a man without a shame, so it is hard to shame him out of office. now his unhappy parliamentary party, a playing one of the few cards that they hold, which as you trigger enough resignations last my checks my phone, it was 31 members of the government who have resigned in the last 24 hours, which really is a historic figure that he trigger enough resignations the legitimacy of the prime minister and being a was put together. a government is in shreds and he's either forced to leave office or roll the dice and the general election and ashley, it seems like the only people able to effect we'll change either the prime minister himself if he decides to resign or disgruntled members of for the conservative
6:10 pm
party, what does i have say about how much power ordinary vote is hiv or indeed, what influence opposition parties have in all of this, it feels like go, we're all just watching fits from the sidelines. i mean, we are absolutely spectators rather than agents in this particular melodrama. but unfortunately this has been a defining feature of u. k. politics for decades after margaret that she has got john major, he 1st becomes prime minister without the general election. he then wins the 99 to general election as follows on tiny blair winning in 9097, the prime minister that follows him gordon brown. he comes to power without general election. then you've got to have cameron winds the general election and then he leaves office the next prime minister. theresa may, she comes to power without a general election, the same with force johnson. so what we're seeing here, rather than being a bug or a glitch of the system, is perhaps even a feature which the ordinary voters are disempowered. and there is a disproportionate amount of power because of the constitutional arrangement of
6:11 pm
this country. the political system not working as it was intended to, which means that you've got an awful lot of power being held by m. p sitting in parliament. would you incur all of their system for public trust in politics in the united kingdom? well, it's not great because this latest scandal with christopher pincher, who was the deputy chief wip docked by allegations of sexual harassment. comes hot on the heels, very similar scandals earlier just last month. you had the loss of 2 by elections, one triggered because the mp emron ahmed con, is sent, has been sentenced to jail for sexual assault, the other into a tenant hornet. and because neil parish was caught watching pornography in the house of commons before that of course you've got the o in patterson scandal where he was court taking money as a lobbyist when he really shouldn't have been. and that does decimate public trust . it's sleazy, it's self serving and it's corrupt. and i sure would you think the appointments of
6:12 pm
nadeem, the hallway is chancellor and steve barkley's health secretary? will they breathe new life or into the cabinet? how important is this re shuffle for boys chosen? well, if they can only breathe new life into the cabinet if this government holds together and when you look at the space of resignation, there are lots of people predicting that this is a government which could fall apart entirely than 24 to 48 hours. now caveats paras, johnson is someone who has made his name defying political gravity. so we'll have to say that the jury's out in that one when it comes in, it seems a harley. he is perhaps one of the most inexperienced chancellors of the exchequer, which is our version of a finance minister of all time. his 1st cabinet post was, of course, as education secretary mopping up after gavin williamson and before that these for quite junior positions. what that means for the potential policy platform that is
6:13 pm
a force johnson survives long enough to put one together. is that nadeem the harvey is going to be a big departure from richey snack. he's somebody who wants low taxes, low spending, and i think would quite happily, you know, re or in the conservative party away from the brand of what's called red tourism, which is dominated since 2019. but again, we'll see if he lost as long as the summer budget. and i should talk specifically about some of the mechanics of british politics. there is some discussion of revisiting the rules of 1922 committee as when it comes to a vote of no confidence. we know, of course, the boys. johnson survived one narrowly now, by benches deciding whether or not to hold another vote, essentially rewriting the rules. what does this mean for british democracy that they prepare to revisit the rules as it were to get the wrong man out of the job? well, again, this speaks to the old teeth, the british constitution. so the rules governing the $922.00 committee or not rules
6:14 pm
that govern parliament as a whole. it governs the conservative party now because more from the known as the conservative policy, we get to women election and form a government. this effectively becomes the rules by which the entirety of our democracy and so being governed by, but only condemned to them. peace gets participate in forming what the rules are, how they work when to apply them, and when to tear them up. it's the feature of the $922.00 committee, but even what a prime minister survived the votes of no confidence. usually the writing is on the wall in terms of the premiership. margaret voucher very famously survived the 1st round of her no confidence because that would be a 2nd. she decided that her position was fatally weekend. she stepped down of her in volition. teresa may survive the votes of no confidence by much more comfortable margin than forest johnson. she was gone within the forest. johnson having only very narrowly survived his own confidence. it seemed that the writing was on the wall from that point on with another scandal, christopher pincher, and
6:15 pm
a sense amongst benches, and cabinet ministers, the like that it wasn't going to get any better. you've got ministers pulling the trigger and back, but just following up with his change of the rules, which means that he might be forced out by his own party soccer of our media. thank you so much for waiting all through all of us. thank you. thank he, have plenty more head on the news hour, including a brazen escape. we bring you the latest on the attack on a maximum security prison in abu jeff also i'm the sat about my in paris where rail work is you on strike, demanding. that's a pay to help them cope with the rising cost of living. record number of tickets have been sold ahead of kick off the women's euros. joe, we'll look ahead to the opening game between england and austria in sports. ah.
6:16 pm
a 3rd of the world's population didn't have access to adequate food last year, and the war new crane will only make things worse. that's the stark finding. from a report released by the united nations, it found that nearly 830000000 people around the world went hungry last year as a 150000000 more than in 2019. the gender gap has also widened. nearly 32 percent of women were moderately or severely food insecure in 2021 compared to more than 27 percent of men. and around 45000000 children, younger than 5, suffered from wasting, which is the deadliest form of mound nutrition, and increases the child's risk of death by up to 12 times. oh, well, let's go to our diplomatic editor, james bases at the united nations. and james, of course you've been listening to the head of the well through program and other you and agencies present at this report. what do they say?
6:17 pm
well, it's really grim statistics. 828000000 people around the world currently affected by hunger. and the word from some of these officials and all of the top officials on this subject were speaking at the un in the last hour. or is that things are likely to get worse? david beasley is that the well food program, he says it's a looming catastrophe. there is the danger of a global recession. he said, what you've had here is a mix of things. you've had cove, it conflict and climate come together, conflicts like those in afghanistan and ethiopia. and then in recent months you've had ukraine, which is made the food problems worst, made the problems with vegetable oil and fertilizer. worse. it's a very, very grim situation. remember that the world was supposed to be following something called the sustainable development goals. and one of the targets of that was the end hunger have 0. these figures that are so high down to 0 by 2030,
6:18 pm
just 8 years away from now. and actually the world had made significant progress on this reducing the number of people affected by hunger until 2015 since then it's gone up. and in the last year it's gone up a great deal. and james, what kind of action are the world food program and others calling for from the international community to take care a hold of this crisis? well, this report has come from 5 different you and the agencies who produce this annual report. they say some of it is about funding and clearly the u. n. doesn't have the money to solve this problem. in fact, the well food program is had cut back on some of the supplies. it sends to people and food supplies. it gives to people and some of the countries where people are the most needy. are you going to look, i think, to the richest countries of the world. last week the g 7 was meeting. i was there in bavaria. they promised an extra $4500000000.00 at that meeting, bringing this year to $14000000000.00 for food security. but experts will tell you that's really not enough. and it's interesting that the report has been produced by
6:19 pm
the u. n. so it's not only about funding, it's also structural. some of this is, is not delivered in the what right way. it says that with a global recession looming, a way to support economic recovery involves the re purposing of food and agricultural support to target nutritious foods. they say that way you get more healthy people because you get a more healthy food, which is less costly. so that's one of the recommendations in this report. but i think they know that this is going to be very, very hard to turn around because the figures going in the wrong way and the going very much very fast in the wrong direction. james space, if you and a new york. thank you. well, as james mentioned there some very grim figures from the u. n. 's world food program, syria is one of the countries affected trout and the northwest has left more people depending on expensive wheat in ports. st. honda reports before the uprising in 2011, syria was able to feed itself. but years of war and now
6:20 pm
a severe drought has made this nation a net importer of wheat over the past 2 to 3 years. that whole country has been hit by a crippling drought that its impacts are felt mostly in the north east, which is traditionally the bread basket of the country. let alone areas that are in the north west of the country or regime held areas. the rise and global prices sparked by rushes invasion of ukraine is threatening food supplies to many people in syria. the country is among the 10 most food insecure nations in the world. 12000000 people struggled to get enough food. many of them live in the opposition controlled north. nothing along the way that we have limited incomes, and yet we have to rely on expensive import the tweet. because much of the land in this region is mountainous. we can't grow much wheat and lands where we can be
6:21 pm
grown are not accessible. vast areas were set on fire by government forces during the conflict and irrigation channels were destroyed. and even though there is now less violence, front lines still exist. and all that ariba, we are close to the regime position whose many people can't reach their land because it is dangerous humanitarian organizations, as well as the local authorities, are helping farmers to produce more food. but it's costly to plant crops. so as transporting the harvest due to high fuel prices, fuel is also needed to pump ground water to make up for what is being described there. theory has worse, a drought in 70 years. and the opposition held area in the north production won't be enough stem mozilla this year. $30000.00 hecklers were cultivated, but the low rainfall, high production costs, hurt farmers. a ton of weak cost. $450.00. we will have to import more than
6:22 pm
$30000.00 tons this year. the average annual amount of wheat production before the war was 3700000 tons. this declined to 1800000 tons between 20152019 harvests are shrinking, and farmers are fighting to survive. and with more than half of serious people already hungry, the agricultural crisis couldn't come at a worse time than a heather al shahida sedans, military leader, general abdel fata albert han has removed the 5 remaining civilians from the governing sovereign council. on monday he announced he no longer negotiate with civilian groups on a transitional government, the main civilian alliances cool for more demonstrations. it but morgan joins his lie from the capital cartoon and the hebert 5 civilians. as i mentioned, they are removed from a sovereign counsel. does that leave the military in charge despite them saying that stepping back from talks to form this transitional government?
6:23 pm
yes indeed for the for the moment it's the military and 3 other members who are in the sovereignty council. that was up until yesterday made up of 30 members and now is made up of only 85, military and 3 members from our group that signed the peace agreement in the south and east capital, juba in 2020. now for political parties, that means that the military still wants to hold on to power because they've been demanding the military 1st of all, admit that they organized the crew in october last year and then negotiate a way out of it so that there will be civilian leadership and the military returned to the barracks. now the body that was responsible, the tri patriot mechanism that was responsible for talks between the military and the civilians, announced that they will be canceling the talks because the military has withdrawn from it. and instead will consult other political parties and stakeholders to find a new way of dialogue between the political parties to and the countries political crisis. because at the moment and for a long time now, agreement between political parties to come together. 20 goose eating table has
6:24 pm
been a major difficulty. inhibit what about the protests is are they still out on the streets? all processes see that nothing has changed. they say that they've been demanding the military be removed from power and they hand over power to a civilian leadership. now, with the military being the main body in charge with no civilians in the sovereignty counsel for them, it's still the status quo, even though the military said that they will hand over power and form something called the high council of am for says once the parties agree to form a transitional government. they've continued with protests since june 30th where mass roads has let at least line protested, killed, and more than 600 injured. they've been forming citizens in various parts of the capital, her tomb, as well as other cities and of called for strikes and civil disobedience, saying that is the only way for them to put pressure on the military as well as form in coalition. political and civil coalitions to resist against the military takeover and sure the army that they are going to continue demanding a civil enroll until there is one ever morgan incurred to him. thank you. in
6:25 pm
nigeria, gunman of a tank to maximum security prison outside the capitol. abu, jeff, it's not clear yet how many people have been killed. a resident say the attack is overpowered, prison guards, hundreds inmates had been freed. fidelis bah has more from outside the prison. dozens of gunmen reportedly arrived the sick today, correctional center, about 10 p. m. local time through the back of the correctional center. and in the process, the true about a 4 explosives, because a residents and even officers here did say that they had about 4 exclusions. and during that process, they were able to gain access into the prison and set about $600.00 of the maybe free. but then the officials are saying that about $300.00 of those of us who is crypt have returned. and then the also making efforts to arrest some of them and we've seen cause bonds. also, i've seen a couple of some bodies that, you know,
6:26 pm
even though government officials are not yet given, she goes as to the number of people who were casualties as a result of the attack. this area is actually very, it's considered a very secure area before. now, and people are wondering how to do able to gain access to this prison because the of the prison yet actually holds about that, you know, about a 1000 inmates. and among these a high profile at terror suspects you also have politicians. some of them state governors who are presently in detention, and he also have, are the people who have committed like high a high level crimes who have been detained here. so which is actually what more like a source of consent to so many because this prison is one of the highly prioritized prisons because of the caliber of inmates that are here. and we're wanting to see when a government will actually be able to do a proper headcount and come up with the exact figure of the number of people who
6:27 pm
have actually escaped. because right now, they're telling us that they buy more than 60 at taurus suspects where among those who escaped south african president silver ramirez, i attended the funeral of some of the $21.00 teenagers, found dead in the bar 10 days ago. they'd been celebrating the end of their exams before they died from e. dabilla reports from johannesburg. fitted hundreds of mourners have paid the respects at a mast funeral and east london in the eastern k province. 21 young people died under mysterious circumstances at a bar. during a party, after school exams, south african president forum, a poor sum was among the dignitaries in attendance. the east plain and play must be laid at the feet of those who are making money off that dreams and the lives of young people, of south africa. by breaking the law and sally alcohol

. but the ford edge, the monsoon rain has burst in pakistan is come right up through into a man before crossed a thursday's, another wet one having seen st flooding already. this will be a repeat performance. i suspect we reco breaking amounts arrange mascot. we shouldn't really be wet this towel yet. forecast is a wet one, but it's drawn for friday and saturday, in mascot itself. not necessarily for the rest of a mug. did that rain area stretches dance with ant quarter sadie, the restaurant and into yemen during thursday. north of that, pretty standard fair. there's no longer much of a breeze, answered the girl. so temperatures are of the humid in the high thirty's or dry in the high forty's up in iraq. and we're about 30 on the eastern coast of the med trading to the levant, which is not unusual. but take you to friday spot the different the wasn't much to
6:30 pm
see except maybe more rain moving around in yemen. now i'd like to say the would rain when i'm talking about somalia or kenya and there's a little but the really is very little to, to relieve the drive to talk. it is for the north, it's in ethiopia, south sudan, and sudan. and beyond that, as you can see, which is rather bold normal for the south, a dry picture of most of southern africa, a few showers disappearing from the eastern cape. then it's just pure sunshine. ah frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem in lebanon. it's actually structural lebanon needs, and you also contract in order for it to solve this problem. informed opinions, international communities on the goal is to create a government has knowledge in depth analysis of the data global headlines. this is going to be very hard to explain to the public, but instead of pushing back,
6:31 pm
you know, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera, with with lou ah, you're watching al jazeera, a reminder of our top stories this hour. the british prime minister has remained
6:32 pm
defiant, vowing to carry on his role as to spice, a string of resignations over the last 24 hours. the latest crisis center is on the revelation that johnson promoted an m p. despite knowing about allegations of sexual misconduct, sedans, military leader, general abdel fata alberto han has removed the 5 remaining civilians from the governing sovereign council. on monday he denounced he no longer negotiate with civilian groups. on the transitional government, a 3rd of the world's population didn't have access to adequate food loss. yes, that's the finding from you and report, which says even more people will go hungry this year. as the warn ukraine drives up global wheat prices. all right, let's go back to our top story. now, of course the revelations, rather british prime minister who's fighting for his political survival force. johnson address the sexual misconduct scandal around one of his m p saying he took immediate action as i've already said. as it,
6:33 pm
i regret very much the member for time wife continue to hold off is off to the complaint was made against him in the, in the foreign office. and it was, it was resolved in the fall of his ease. apology. was it a claim that was old enough? and in hindsight, mister speaker, i should have realized that he would know she would. he would not change. however, when he came to the friday of last week and went on, i was given the information that he's read out about the complaint that was made against the older woman. i acted immediately, missy. i went from him and we will not tolerate. we will not tolerate that kind of behavior in this or any other party, mister speaker. oh voice johnson's former health secretary made a personal statement to his colleagues impala such a v describe having to publicly defend the prime minister before seeing his statements repeatedly proven false. when the 1st stories of parties in downing
6:34 pm
street emerged late last year, i was personally assured at the most senior level by my what all were friends then t that and i quote, there had been no parties in downing street and no rules were broken. so i gave the benefit of that and i went on those media rounds to say that i'd have those assurances from the senior most senior level of the private assist he then we had more stories. we had the su gray report, a new downing street t. i continued to give the benefit of the doubt. and now this week again, we have reason to question the truth and integrity of what we all being told. and at some point, we have to conclude that enough is enough. i believe that point is now. i welcome the prime minister's public knowledge. what last night that matters could
6:35 pm
have been handled better in who he had pointed at what was said about what he knew when. and i appreciated his kind and humble words and that his humble straight when i went to see him yesterday. and also the kind letter that he has sent to me. but i do fear that the reset button could only work so many times. there's only so many times you can turn that machine off before you realize that something is fundamentally wrong. last month i gave the benefit of doubt one last time i have concluded that the progress starts at the top and i believe that is not going to change. and that's means that it is for those of us in a position who have responsibility to make that change. a leon maralie is a political commentator and a former aid to the breck secretary and other chief secretary to the treasury. he says the current crisis facing johnson feels different because potential successes
6:36 pm
of making themselves known. we're seeing the 2 resignation sergeant java. we've seen his speech in the house of commons, which for all intents and purposes, sounded like a leadership where she soon act talented as a potential leader for a long time. now, he is now outside of cabinet, able to speak freely on the matter. so we are seeing alternative candidates emerge and i think that previously been bar johnson, the saving grace. there wasn't a coalition around a coalition around one particular candidate. if i start to emerge, if the rules then do change in 1922 committee, i think the writing is on the wall for the prime minister. but there is a lot of procedural background is going to go into that before we get anywhere near those discussions. the political liaison committee, public asian committee is going to be a very different arena for boris johnson. he's going to face direct scrutiny and he has no wiggle room. he has no place to hide. there will be him faced by those m p
6:37 pm
challenging whether or not he misled parliament. and there is a very long standing convention in westminster. that is a, a prime minister already minister is found to misled parliament and that is a resigning matter. that doesn't mean bars. johnson necessarily resign if that is found to be the case. he is a remarkably sticky politician. he has had multiple opportunities to leave downing street now for the past few months. he's chosen not to, and i think he's resilience is going to be tested to its core. but he may wells divide. you will cling on or certainly that will be his intention to do so. more money, them better working conditions. last, what striking french rail workers demanding. they say their wages aren't enough to cope with inflation and the staff shortages of push things to breaking point. the touch of butler reports and paris there were fewer rail workers than usual that passes galilee, or train station pickers many were on strike to demand higher wages. staff say that they've not had a pay rise in nearly a decade. and with the rising cost of living,
6:38 pm
