michael. gov. and these are angry at johnson's handling of sexual misconduct claims against a former deputy chief wip algae. there is poor burning reports now from london. oh, going, going surely nearly gone on wednesday morning. the number of government resignations was still less than 10. by the afternoon, the dam had burst, and boris johnson support was draining away. missus pig, it was a very simple reason why they won't be out. at the regular session of prime ministers questions. the commons chamber became a bare pit. the prime minister under attack from all sides. now does the prime minister think there are any circumstances in which he should resign the day i ask him to do the honorable thing with the interest of the nation before his own interests. as the speaker isn't this, the 1st recorded case of the sinking ship fleeing the wrath, the job of
12:04 am
a prime minister in difficult circumstances when you be handed to colossal mandate is to keep going on. that's why. immediately afterwards, santa javert, the cabinet minister, who was the 1st to quit on tuesday, returned to parliament to explain his decision to m. peace. and with the prime minister listening javert didn't pull any punches, credit that tightrope between loyalty and integrity has become impossible. in recent months, and 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 bench. he was given a government job despite previous allegations being upheld about him making unwanted sexual advances to male staffers paws. johnson claimed he didn't know about the past misconduct. in fact, it emerged that johnson had been briefed in person about it. simmering questions
12:05 am
about johnson's judgment character and integrity quickly boiled over into outright anger. amongst em piece. and the snap opinion poll by you. gov suggested that 69 percent of voters now also belief, johnson must go. crucially, a majority of conservative voters agree 54 percent believing that their own leader should now resign. he should leave the left a long time ago. i think he can head man walking. he would have to pay that any time with that. well, oh yeah, i'm just price is still there, so i really think he's, he's always now the counting the hours. a steady stream of ministerial resignations and a succession of scathing resignation letters. the situation is fast approaching a tipping point. where surely, forest 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,
12:06 am
and he will not leave this place willingly. the question was posed directly during johnston's appearance before the commons liaison committee is not brave for you to carry on doing this. i think it might be you're hurting the country, prime minister, 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 the kids of the biggest war in europe for, for 8 years. and i told the wife of me see who, how it is responsible just to, to walk away from that 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 survivable you. question then becomes how to actually remove him from office poll brennan, al jazeera downing street listed the out. there is a team. bob jones is live now from outside to punish his office at 10 danny street
12:07 am
in central london. why has the prime minister fired his close ally michael. gov. marie m a michael goes was reported to have told maurice johnson before premises questions earlier on wednesday. that it was time for him to go. of course he had stayed in cabinet unlike such a javits and her where she shook javin, who you heard there telling the prime minister in the comments that her enough was enough. when michael go for done that privately, and the primary is said to be extremely annoyed about that, michael gove has now gone. he's just one of so many or with her dozens. as you are saying, of resignations that have happened just on wednesdays. junior ministers, a parliamentary, private secretaries and so on. and really the themes that they brought up have been shared. they've been basically issues of honesty of the way that so ministers have
12:08 am
been asked to say things which turned out not to be true. javin pointing out that he was sure he'd been lied to when he was told there'd be no parties here at number 10 downing street. and then they brought up propriety and the serious allegation. one of them put it like this, in their words, the leadership, a bar is johnson had turned a blind eye to allegations of sexual assault. of course, the prime minister said, but he regrets appointing that deputy chief whip and victor, with hindsight, he made a mistake. but he is insisting he will carry on and has business to listen to this in the last hour. he's one of his m, a parliamentary, private secretaries. and sarah told em national news here that to him, that he and a nadine to how he the new chancellor are going to present a new plan for the economy next week. and it's expected that they'll be talking about presenting new tax cuts, which will they hope to be popular,
12:09 am
particularly among those voters. these are impose report that conservative voters who are very in a large majority, i wanting boys johnson to go at the moment. so, or is johnson clinging on despite the fact that there are so many jobs to fill. and many of his colleagues saying they're not finding the candidates to do those jobs and very soon it would be impossible to do the job of running the country. is he one of the chances of another voice has no conference taking place? i think a pretty high but what happened was that term on wednesday afternoon, they actually met the back french committee, 1922 committee and i decided not to change the rules right now. the rules say that you can't have another conference vote within the space of a year, and of course there was one last month which for his drugs in one, but it severely dented his leadership. every 40 percent of m. p 's voting against him. now they are set to meet next monday to uh, vote on
12:10 am
a new executive comprise of 18 members. and many of them specifically astounding to get rid of bores johnson. so there will be a strong push to get the rules changed next week. and then we can expect another vote of no confidence in which many more of the m. p. 's have just said that i have no confidence in him who have resigned. we're actually vote this time against him. but there are still the still speculation that maurice johnson might still not budge. what happens then? he was austerity rhonda in a parliamentary committee, whether he would in fact to try to force a general election, he more or less said no, but then he wouldn't commit to resigning in that circumstance either. all right, thank you very much. and the mother joining us that from number 10 down is here we can i speak to leon and raleigh is a former in a serial 8 and communications advisors, the government under the last 2 prime ministers. he's been battered by
12:11 am
a series of ministerial resignations. and at one point he was visited reportedly in the evening by delegation of m. p. 's and minister, some of whom wasteful my allies urging him to resign. and it did seem as though at some point it was imminent. but it now it, this sense is kind of change that in sacking. michael. gov johnson is kind of sees the in says back. i spend an extraordinary day twists and turns at pretty much every hour. we've had a number of high profile resignations from senior ministers. we've had boyish johnson looking like he's on the verge of resigning a man now. looks like he's digging in, and that's boris johnson's character. he is a politician who is very stubborn, who will fight to the death matter. clearly the strategy that we're gonna see over the coming 24 hours if it gets that far. but as, as you say, you know, he's taken initiative by sacking. michael. gov, who has a large following in parliament, and that could either be to his detriment or to his favor. and i do think that we
12:12 am
are now entering a crucial period of the year of the term or that we've seen over the past day. how much discontent is there within the prime minister's own party? how? what can we say mount away? conservative and pizza. a thinking right now. what bush johnson is her as a track record, as anal it as an election winner. he defies the odds. he got bricks, it over the line he got elected as a, a conservative mayor of london, which is, which is rare and obviously took an 80 seat majority in the most recent general election. so they're looking at someone who can win elections, but they're also looking at someone who is damaged goods. his reputation has taken a battering over the past 12 months, 18 months, really ever since breaks it took hold. and then the pandemic immediately telling on after that. so he is damaged goods, he is not the asset that he used to be in conservative m. p. 's will be looking alternately at their own chances of reelection. is that gonna happen under parish johnson, or they're more likely to be re elected under
12:13 am
a new leadership. and that's the judgement i'll be making that i suppose part. the problem is that the readable part of the reason he's managed to survive this long is because there are doubts about who's going to succeed him. well indeed, and i think that's what kept berth johnson in positions that there isn't an obvious candidate to replace boris johnson. we've seen richie soon, next, stock rise and fall. we've seen sanjay javin potentially looking as one of those who may step into to, to his sous. but there isn't a clear and obvious candidate if we look back to when to resume was ousted. forest johnson was the, was the successor. he was, he was there ready to take on the crown as it were. we don't have that in waiting at the moment. and i think that even now m p is going to be trying to coalesce around a single candidate. and if and when they do, that's going to spell big trouble for the prime minister. how is it going to happen of a going to speak about the $9022.00 committee. this is the body with in the, the ruling party that sets the rules for leadership contests. but because there was a confidence vote just a month ago,
12:14 am
which the prime minister now the one they would have to change the rules for their to be another vote for that to be able to happen now, is that what they're going to do? it seems that way i think plan a was to try and ask for is johnson to leave on his own accord to try and leave with a bit of dignity that has clearly failed. he's digging in. and now the only option is to remove him by political force, and i think that monday will be a crucial day if it does get that far. when there are elections in the 1922 committee to see who make up the executive of that body. and they may well decide to change the rules, and that will be when the next confidence vote is triggered or is good to talk to. thank you very much. the on m. riley for joining us in the studio. well, britain's foreign ministry has denied reports a senior debt from that was detained in teheran, for alleged spying. iranian state tv released this footage, allegedly showing several foreigners taking soil samples in restricted areas.

12:16 am
a number of people suffering from hunger rows dramatically last year. according to a major food security report, released by the united nations, it's wanting of a global hunger catastrophe in the coming months. says a 128000000 people were affected by hunger last year. at almost 10 percent of the global population. children are particularly vulnerable with 22 percent of those under the age of 5, suffering from stunted growth. another 6.7 percent or 45000000 are suffering from wasting, which is a deadly form of malnutrition. climate change, the pandemic and mass migration of been blamed for pushing up global hunger levels, and that's unexpected. to get worse, there is the added complexity of the war in ukraine, which has seen global food prices surge to record levels. our diplomatic editor james base has more in this now from un headquarters in new york. this report has come from 5 different un agencies who produce this annual report. they say some of
12:17 am
it is about funding and clearly the u. n. doesn't have the money to solve this problem. in fact, the well food programs had cut back on some of the supplies. it sends to people and food supplies. it gives to people in some of the countries where people are the most needy 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 covered. 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 to end hunger have 0. these figures that are so high down to 0 by 2030, 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
12:18 am
gone up. and in the last year it's gone up a great deal. 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. elanda wright is a global director of child poverty and climate. it save the children, shines and joins as live. now, you will not be surprised by the findings of this un reports. and because you have staff all over the world and from what they have observed, hung levels are on the rise. tell me about what you witnessed recently in the vein . north of nigeria, i people are suffering from hunger and malnutrition and have been displaced by conflict. what did you see there? thank you very much for this opportunity. yes i was in nigeria just a few days ago. and it's one of the hunger hot spots around the world. there's actually a really alarming number of hunger hot spots around the world. but one of them is nigeria, where many people have been displaced by conflict. and as we're experiencing all
12:19 am
over the world, the price of basic foods has gone up dramatically. and we haven't seen a rise in a ability to meet those needs with humanitarian assistance. so i was meeting families who are really struggling to feed their children. i went to one of our nutrition stabilization centers and i saw that we were already having to put in extra bed. it's already full to capacity. and there's no place to refer those those children to because all the other nutrition centers in the area are also full. and this is at the beginning of what is the lean season in that part of the world that not the normal hungry season. so we're seeing that exactly as you're hearing from the report that these combined factors, climate conflict, and the code, the pandemic, economic impacts are really, you know, causing families to feel the pinch and, and really struggling to feed their children. and this isn't just in nigeria, whereas i was visiting, i'm hearing the same story from college colleagues all over the world and
12:20 am
a refill statistic. the say the children organization has mentioned which is that a child dies every 48 seconds in the horn of africa. now what is the cause of death? well, that was the end that came from one of their policy bought out just recently, and it was focused on the horn of africa crisis and it with one person dying roughly every 48 seconds. and the reason for those deaths is, is just severe malnutrition. and what happens, we know in those conditions, roughly 50 percent of those deaths will sadly be children and children on the 5. because what happens is when you're severely malnourished, your body isn't able to cope with normal shocks. and stress is often actually, what is the cause of death might be diarrhea, disease or cholera or, or tuberculosis. so, but you know, your body is malnourished and you're not able to fight off normal diseases. and what we're seeing in places like somalia, one of my colleagues was telling me he was talking to some women who were boiling some water and they've been displaced by the 4th consecutive drought in somalia.
12:21 am
and they have no food to cook. and my colleagues asked why, you know, just boiling water and they said, well, it gives our children hope if they see the fire and they see us with a pole on the fire, it gives them hope that we might be cooking food. and that, that hope is so important that children and it's an absolute, heartbreaking situation for our staff who, who really know what we could be doing. if we had the right assistance in place, we know what we can do to prevent malnutrition. but it's a really heartbreaking situation because there's just not enough to go around. in some of these places. we talking about a number of underlying causes, climate change, the pandemic violence and conflicts that have exacerbated this. what is the one thing that can be addressed to make a difference? i think i'd probably like to say 2 things. i may, the 1 immediate thing is to kind of address the immediate needs and those people in real crisis, we absolutely need to increase the humanitarian assistance available for people
12:22 am
that are really at that absolute from end of the hunger crisis. but the 2nd thing we have to do is address the underlying issues. this you and report talks a lot about investing in resilient agriculture. we're not, i mean, actually over half the world's population car, i think over 3000000000 people can't afford a nutritious diet. so we have absolutely have to invest in producing nutritious food in the right quantities and also resilient agriculture that can cope with increasing climate shocks. and we also have to address the other root causes. i mean, obviously conflict is one and we've seen the ukraine crisis really driving out through prices that if we want to address in the long term, we need peace. we need to address resilient agriculture systems. and we need to make sure that we address chronic poverty and inequality. that also means that many people kind of are really on the, on the bread line frequently and a small shock can push them into this real crisis hunger. thank you. if you land
12:23 am
right, i appreciate you speaking to us from save the children. thank you very much. or syrians are also facing, hire food and fuel prices after rushes, invasion of ukraine and drought as well in the countries northwest means that people are depending more on expensive wheat imports. st. hodder brings us the story. now these for the uprising in 2011, syria was able to feed itself. but years of war, and now a severe drought has made this nation a net importer of wheat over the past 2 to 3 years. and the 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 northwest of the country or regime held areas. the rise in global prices sparked by rushes invasion of ukraine is threatening food supplies to many people
12:24 am
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. doesn't allow thought that we have limited incomes and yet we have to rely on expensive import to tweet. because much of the land in this region is mountainous. we can't grow much wheat and lands where we can be grown are not accessible. vast areas where 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, who's 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,
12:25 am
fuel is also needed to pump ground water to make up for what is being described as serious worse the drought in 70 years. and the opposition held area in the north production won't be enough. them missouri, this year 30000 hector's were cultivated, but the low rainfall and high production costs her farmers. a ton of wheat cost $450.00 and we will have to import more than $30000.00 tons this year. the average annual amount of weed production before the war was 3700000 tons. this decline to 1800000 tons between 2015. and 2019 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 other shows ita residents. and the crating says you have some vans, have been evacuated. russian forces press closer. eastern city is the next target

12:33 am
hello, welcome back. you're watching the news out life from london. i'll main stories now are, as johnson remains defiant, refusing to resign, as u. k prime minister is by 40 to members of his policy coursing that government post reports that johnson's closest colleagues have advised him to go. the united nations is saying a 128000000 people were affected by hunger in 2021. that's almost 10 percent of the world's population to of a global hunger catastrophe. in the coming months. as it rushes war and ukraine tries out, food and fuel prices and residents in the lobby and has been to leave as russian forces press closer. eastern city is the next target in moscow site. does it look take control of the entire mass region?
12:34 am
well, the political turmoil in the u. k comes as the country struggles with high inflation and a cost of living crisis. vicky price is an economist and former government advisor . she joins us live now from london. thanks very much for speaking to vicky. so i want to start by asking you about the resignation letter from former chancellor ritchie. soon as he seemed to suggested that been tension with the prime minister on his approach to the economy. he said, if something is too good to be true, then it's not true. he said, has this government been honest with the public about the severity of the economic crisis and the problems that lie ahead? what we have seen is that the public is getting increasingly concerned and quite a lot of, of the opinion polls recently and lots of surveys done by various organizations, including the british chambers of commerce, for example. and the work done by the consideration of british industry do suggest that there are serious concerns right now about the way forward and the fact that
12:35 am
everyone is beginning to really wonder where some of the growth may come from in the future. expecting the government to intervene and do a little bit more. and i think it's interesting what the ex chancellor is really talking about because there is no doubt that they're being differences between what number 10 and the prime minister wanted to see. and what the treasury that receives soon, ack represented was concerned about. so the prime minister wanted to see tax got more support to the economy because he was quite aware of what the population is thinking right now. the war in ukraine hasn't helped tool, but the treasury was very concerned about some of the costs of those tax cuts might mean and wanted to postpone them for a while until they saw how things were developing, particularly in the global environment and energy prices and food prices, so there was a rift, there's no doubt about that, but that's pretty cool. and has been pretty common in your case. there's no new
12:36 am
that the self is not a reason for resigning normally. that no, that's right. but i suppose now we see, i suppose it's the way that is affecting the crisis that voice johnson is facing out because he's wasted no time in saying in indicating that his new chancellor and the teams army how in himself are much more aligned and that they will announce a series of tax cuts. is that the way out of this? stubbornly high inflation? not necessarily. it all depends. of course, what type of government we going to have and whether indeed voicemails, and survives, and whether indeed the new chancellor remains in his post. but one of the areas where there has been a lot of discussion been in lowering the v was the value added tax, which means the stock cuts the prices that are assuming it's all pass through prices the way they are in the very shops. and it also in services more generally,
12:37 am
