ah. ready does the prime minister think there are any circumstances in which he should resign? oh, isn't this the 1st recorded case of the 2nd shit flew in the wrath under attack from all sides, despite 38 lawmakers, quitting his government in 24 hours. britain's prime minister says he staying put, ah, hello i, marianna mossey, and london. you're watching al jazeera also coming up on the program, the you and says a 128000000 people around the world were affected by hunger last year. that was before the war, and ukraine drove up food and fuel prices. ah,

oh, going, going surely nearly gone on wednesday morning. the number of government resignations was still less than 10 by the afternoon. the damn had burst and boris johnson support was draining away. missus bigger the very simple reason why they won't be out. at the regular session of prime ministers questions, the commons chamber became a bare pit of the prime minister under attack from all sides. does the prime minister think there are any circumstances in which he should resign? ah, the day i ask him to do the honorable thing about the interest of the nation before his own interest. yes, the speaker isn't this. the 1st recorded case of the sinking ship fling the raft, the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when he handed a colossal man that is to keep going. well, that's a lot of it immediately afterwards, sauntered javits, the cabinet minister,

who was the 1st to quit on tuesday, returned to parliament to explain his decisions and peace. and with the prime minister listening javert didn't pull any punches. at some point, we have to conclude that enough is enough. i believe that point is now. the final straw was damning streets. handling of complaints against this man, chris pincher. pincher was given a government job despite previous allegations being upheld about him making unwanted sexual advances to male staffers. but as johnson claimed, he didn't know about the past misconduct. in fact, it emerged that johnson had been briefed in person about it. the situation is fast approaching a tipping point, where surely, boys, johnson's position becomes untenable. but this is a prime minister. possessed of almost visceral stubbornness, seemingly impervious to the criticism of even close colleagues, and he will not leave this place willingly. the question was posed directly during

johnston's appearance before the commons liaison committee, just on a very human level here, you must know that is in the country's interest for you to leave. now as i look at the, um, the, the pressures of people who are under the need to go to focus on the, on, on, on their priorities. i look it out the biggest war in europe for a he is. and i come for the life of me, see who, how it is responsible, just to, to walk away from the ousting a prime minister is no trivial matter with so many choosing to resign rather than serve with this prime minister. his situation really does start to look on survivor, but you said question then becomes how to actually remove him from office. that pull. brennan al jazeera downing street less everybody's senate in bob. their joins us live now from outside the prime minister's office set. now the can downing street in central london or the 30 cabinet resignations or in the last 24 hours from right across the government. what's the latest on that? a team?

yeah, well there are, doesn't server empties conservative, empties, who have resigns or just the 2 cabinet members still viciously neck and such a javits. the rest are people like parliamentary private secretaries, junior ministers and they've been bringing up again. and again, similar themes. firstly, the issue as you are hearing, impose reports of the appointment and the dealing with or not. oh, chris pincher. one of the people who resigned in the last few hours said, but the leadership has turned a blind eye to allegations of sexual assault within its own rights. there were reminders about polity gates as well, where boys, johnson and other people here received her fines from the police after breaking the coffee 19 rolls. and generally mo, many of these people telling bars johnson he needs to go of between the law in saying that is, it's him that he is the problem. it's that they're constantly,

scandal is being generated either by himself or his failure to deal with wrong. doing such a job, it himself for in parliament earlier said that he'd been lied to, overpowered the gate, and obviously he was furious about that. he said it can't go and others are saying that the effective government is frozen right now. will the chief whip apparently has hope or is john? somebody can't fill the positions that are now being made vacant. he insists that he can so we don't know where. in fact, that leaves us. it's hard to believe it's just over a month since barnes johnson narrowly won the last vote of confidence. isn't it? are we going to see that play out again? the faces, like, you know, after they got immediately, the situation now is that there are 2 groups here in number 10 downing street of your tablet at members waiting to some of them to or have already tovares' johnson needs to go. others, you're still backing him like nadine doris,

the coach or secretary who left us earlier and she said others are biting him too. but the 19th 20th you committee will now meet next monday elect to new executive. and many of the candidates for that specifically want to stand to get rid of bars. johnson, he eventually when pushed said that if he did a fight another gonna competence vote and lost, he wouldn't push for a fresh election, but then he would not commit to resigning either. so it was a lot of guesswork as to what's going on in the prime minister's maryan right now. and what will happen a for i some people say when there is another vote in his leadership. all right, thanks very much. nadine baba with all the latest that from number 10 downing street apps. now we can bring in some one that might have an idea of what might be going on in the prime minister's mind. sonya panel is a political commentator, an author of the book, jas. boris. a tale of blond ambition. she joins his life now from london. can you imagine boris johnson resigning?

no, i find it very difficult or none of this ready surprises me. he has this kind of feeling of entitlement to power. and so why should he release it? also, we know very clearly now that he doesn't really think that rules apply to him any other prime in. so what had long since resigned over all the incompetence, the lack of integrity in the misleading parliament and the queen all the rest of it . he hasn't, he doesn't believe in roles and that's where it starts getting a bit dangerous and a bit worrying or very worrying. indeed. because if he did supposing he did lose another vote of confidence and then refused to resign. we are in uncharted territory. this is never happened and no other premises done that. but that speaks volumes about the man himself. he is unlike any other harmons that we've ever had. and so how unpredictable could this get to you? do you see him possibly making the case to call for an election on the grounds that

he has a, a mandate from the election in 2019? could we such see a such raceway the parliament and the people a sort of pitted against each other? i mean that that's possible or could he just simply trying and in a brazen this out by saying i've got a mandate look 14000000 people voted for me in 2019 i had an ac c majority is that seems to be the line that he he and his closest pauses are a peddling at the moment, but again, you know, that is not following the rules. we are a parliamentary democracy in the u. k. not a presidential one. there's no such thing as a personal mandate for the prime minister. he, he or she is angry. the person with the who lisa the biggest party. so again, he's not falling the constitution of u. k. and again, we are in uncharted territory, and this is very, very worrying i thing over 30 members of the government have now resigned. of

course, the most notable being the chancellor of the exchequer and also the val secretaries . now, boris johnson is accustomed to political time while, but even you speak about this sense of entitlement, even in his mind, has it crossed the sort of threshold. now what is interesting am, i'm sure he must surely have doubts in in the middle of the night. you know, what am i doing, or maybe he doesn't. i mean, he was in front of the late liaison committee of the house of commons this afternoon. i thought he came across really as quite sort of mentally unstable, even though he seemed to lose his temper. he was very eloquent, you know, almost extremely articulate. he was not on top of any brief whatsoever he rambled on. me is almost as if he doesn't have coherent thoughts anymore. i think we need to take that into account, but i will need my list on a personal level. i think he probably exhausted. certainly. i'm sure he's not

quite sure how he's going to get through, but also i think he's frightened, but if he doesn't say empower what then i mean that the brought, the boris brand has become completely tarnish and it was a brand you know, to people really liked him but now people know him better, they don't like him at all. and after politics, whenever there is, you know, he's, are she going to struggle? because i think only the diluted a desperate a going to want to have anything to do with him. so, i mean, the world is quite frightening to him at the moment and the way that he's dealing with it is by doubling down. but you know, that is exhausting. and he looks at sources and sounds it. thank you very much for sharing your perspective and analysis with sonya panell, but whole commentator and author of the book just forest. thank you. ah, the number of people suffering from hunger rows dramatically last year,

according to a major food security report released by the united nations wanting of a global hunger catastrophe in the coming months. says 828000000 people were affected by hunger last year. that's almost 10 percent of the global population. children particularly vulnerable 22 percent of those under the age of 5, have suffered from stunted growth and another 6.7 percent in 45000000 suffer from wasting. this is a deadly form of malnutrition. climate change, the pandemic and mass migration of all been blamed for pushing up global hunger levels vernie expected to intensify. and then there's the added complexity of the war in ukraine, which is in global food prices surged to record levels. marco sanchez's, deputy director of agrifood economics at the food and agriculture organization. and he says, conflict is one of 3 key drivers affecting hunger. the way i called this is just

the tip of the iceberg. what is happening today? luggable systems is very worrisome, but basically is the confirmation or something that is that i butchered and insatiable. united nations have be of service for many, many years. and viking for the 17, we launch the same report that we are launching today. but, but then we have in the new 5 coffee as a very key driver of what is that group their mileage is we will, we don't serve the hanging was declining, pull at the gate and they go to facility. we started with please. again, we were wondering what is going on. so we, we have started, i need to find these q drivers and coffee there. now to be one of them. then we have a whole thing, but was it is not new. it just a coffee does engage is too big players in many respectful likelihood systems, but he's a conflict that we knew already. conflicts all over the world would affect the the numbers but also be ordered. key drivers are a climate climate adversities coming up versus that we can no longer predict
