ah, with ideals, the french republic is room for a claim, but just what is modern, france in a 4 part series. the big picture takes an in depth look. episode 3 on al jazeera, with well talk to al jazeera, we ask you be more specific? how many folks are you asking for and what kind of military equipment we listen, ask the people of cuba in the street. if there is a difference between donald trump and joe bite for them, it's exciting. we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stall restock matter on al jazeera. ah

o u. k prime minister boris johnston is expected to step down in the next few hours amid a flurry of resignation from his government. i'm full brennan in downing street where boris johnson will make his resignation statements, but by the time table of his departure is still very much up in the air. ah, oh, i'm afraid to put a gun. this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up. hundreds of prisoners on the run in nigeria after i saw attack to jail, and the capital of boucher will be live in indonesia where foreign ministers from the t 20 nations of beating the shadow of a war in ukraine and human rights watch accuses the taliban of committing atrocities in east eastern afghanistan, including summary executions. ah

. after 2 days of political high drama, it seems that the u. k is private is devoris. johnson is about to resign. the prime minister's office says that he will make a statement in downing street shortly so far more than 50 members of his government have resigned. let's go live, not a daunting st houses. he was pull brendan, is that for us? so we're told that the prime minister is about to announce his resignation, but that also reports pull that he's appointing members to a new cabinet. what's going on? that's right. morris johnson. it seems, it's very keen to say in downing street, at least in the short term, he seems to wants to appoint about keep himself as a kind of cat take a prime minister through until the autumn, when a new leader could be appointed. the time table of today has so far been that

a fresh wave of resignations started early morning including 2 cabinet ministers, brougham, lewis, nevada, and secretary, a cabinet level, and also the education secretary, michelle donald, who only been in post 36 hours. both of those chris along with a raft of junior ministers as well until it got to the point where frankly, bars. johnson having been told his position was untenable by many people in many close colleagues. yes, they finally accepted that that was the case. he had a visit this morning with the 1st grand brady, who's the chairman of the back fence. conservative 1922 committee, who told him that frankly, the game was up. at that point, i can tell you that what boris johnson was proposing was that he would resign today, but continue as prime minister through until the autumn. and that is to allow a leadership contest to take place during the summer months and then have a new prime minister and you conservative laid it in place to take the post of prime minister in time for the conservative party annual conference which takes

place in october i have to say that the reaction to that has been somewhat furious and deeply unimpressed. for example, one foreign minister said it is the story, the behavior of the forest johnson over the last 48 hours has been reckless and erratic. he cannot be trusted through to the autumn. god knows what he will do. don't want to cummings who was far as johnson's closest adviser, inside downing street and became his nemesis. when he left down the street said the boys johnson has left into the 3 that could cause college. and the other thing is, the george freeman, the science minister, has said that johnson is behind in the field the office because, and the queen who call a catholic, a prime minister, appointed catholic, a prime minister to take over today. so the question is whether johnson can brave it out and can carry on all whether he will actually be forced to step aside sooner

than he would prefer to ask this question pool for the benefit of our international view as if the prime minister is residing? why isn't there going to be an election to be on the premises? a job. he has, the prime minister continues, but the prime minister is appointed, not by the electorate in a general election, but by the conservative parliamentary party. this is one of the things that far as johnson i sort of highlighted in his, in his please to try and say and how he was saying, i have a colossal mandate. 40000000 people voted for me, but it's factually wrong. we don't have a presidential system here in the united kingdom. we have m p 's who are voted a constituency level. they then come to parliament and whichever party has the biggest number of empties in parliament, then get to choose who will be the prime minister. they become the government and they become, they appoint to prime minister. the mandate isn't from the people to say,

despite the fact that bars johnson was of course, a figure head on the central character in that general election in 20. 19, the monday comes from from the party. so, morris johnson's arguments that if it's not the part the party can't depose him, but if the people and the people can depend, that's not correct. so that's why we don't need a general election. it's not necessary for many thanks to deed for the moment. i'll just pull brandon, there live in downing street may well be back with you a little later, paul. let's speak to know before we do the case opposition. labor party leader kiss tama says the prime minister should not remain in power throughout the summer. he needs to go, he can't cling on in this way. his own party, her finally concluded that he's unfit to be prime minister. they can't now inflicting on the country for the next few months. it's obvious, he's unfit to be pri, mr. that's been blindingly obvious for a very,

very long time. and if they don't get rid of him, then labor will step up in the national interest and bring a vote of no confidence because we can't go on with this prime minister clinging on for months and months to come by now to speak to work my a good fellow, who's an academic author and political commentator, she joined a set life from london. good heavy with a cert maya. your thoughts on the prime minister's set resignation and the possibility that he might stay as a caretaker prime minister for the next few months. yeah, i mean, just for a hours it just be not city farcical. the prime minister is essentially holland despite nothing, evidence of lying waste them corruption. and i think tory and he's a right and been right to force him now, but he shouldn't actually be surprised. he's now saying he wants to stay on in the interim because the real issue is that they knew who he was when they were with him, and they've known who he was in the past to casias. and so i think one of the

things here is that the way a lot of conservatives have been designing, they talk about being truck, disappoint, end of the director of travel. actually they have no, he bars johnson is for very long time. but he is. he also isn't simply a bad apples, the situation that you can find itself in. now really we should be looking at the whole of the conservative party that made it possible to him to be prime minister because this is not just about one man. this is about a car, it is beating government 12 years, overseeing crises of crises and not handling things. they should be. this is not just a. ringback westminster, inside a story, this impacts people across the country. forrest johnson should go, but just because he goes, it doesn't mean there is now going to be all change in the way that we needed. so should there be an election? i mean, i think it actually you have the comes in, we'll probably want an election fairly soon in order to say that they can get a mandate from the british people, the opposition party,

the labor party will certainly say they want an election. i think one of the things that will be somewhat difficult for the labor party is that they have position themselves against lawrence johnson is a figure there now to ding and saying the problem is with the whole of the conservative party, you know, the consumer to call it overseen asperity. i'm not dealing with consumer prices deploying people to wonder, but one of the issues is, is the key is dom and the labor leader has positioned himself again, or is johnson. so when it comes to an election, a fresh faced, the conservative party may look new to the country. and so i think the job, elaine caught, you then will be to say, actually this person isn't changed that we need be all hunton unity and lots of ways leverage is. we've been involved in the conservative party doing all this time . we're the only people who offer real change, i think that could be difficult for them depending on who becomes and how on my, with, with the country facing the cost of living crisis with millions of people in the u . k. potentially being put into poverty because of the rising cost of fuel

and, and food. i'm it surely that now is not the time to have a political uncertainty surrounding an election, isn't it? it's better to have someone, at least in charge, even if it's boris johnston, until conservatives can put in a new prime minister. i mean, i think the issue here is the a thursday that the election wouldn't be until after the conservatives, his elected new lead anyway. so it's, it's not going to be now and that wouldn't be possible. it would be, you know, in the earliest, some time after, after september at the, very, very earliest. and by think actually one of these uses is that the conservatives have been empowered to so long, and they have not dealt with so many of the serious issues of phasing people across the country. the cost of living crisis is in me, is an additional thing on top of years and years of the stereotype. huge cuts to public services, you try my local area to get an appointment,

and it's almost impossible to see a doctor in a decent amount of time. that is the result of a conservative rule. so i think actually what we do need is if you can kind of significant change, i don't think that whoever comes in as a new leader is going to be able to split up. but, you know, let's wait and see, there's this, there's the issue of how large doesn't going to hang around, but he's going to try and hang around. and i think in a conservative point of view, they will probably, i imagine some of those people who resigned will want him to go because him hanging on the much longer and not having someone like dominic rob committees can take it won't be good for the executive branch, so i think there's going to be a lot of discontent rather, go to talk to my many thanks for being with us. my good front of them in london, members of parliament had been debating reports of forrest johnson's impending resignation. angela eagle from the opposition labor party questioned how government could continue to function, given the large number of ministers who resigned? speak i have here a list of all of the resignation resignation. oh wow. this is speaker. i

would read them out. turn this 20 pasty quotes in as it will be of use later on. the minister comp sensibly. ok, that we have a functioning government when this number of people a missing, there are no people ministers to do that history, committees and legislation, even as we speak. so what is the way forward? he can't just blather up the dispatch, but when the government's disintegrating around them, they will be good news for the country that the prime minister is to announce his resignation. he was always unfit for office peers, overseen scandal, fraud and waste on an industrial scale for the k off of the last 3 days. he's more than just patty tore him, fighting the auctions. mr. speak, have serious consequences for the running of our country in the middle of the,

the pit cost of living crisis. if a generation we families unable to make ends meet a dangerous war in europe threatening our borders and a possible trade crisis in no of an island, britain has no function in government. government and the civil service will continue to function. in the meantime, the business of the house statement will be made shortly and members can ask questions of the leader of the house of commons about the and the matter of the business of this place. but the house will continue to function of government. business will continue to function, other secretaries of state can deal with issues for other departments, constitutionally and legally, in necessary circumstances. or as johnson's former advisor, dominic cummings has spoken out against him on twitter, he said that johnston should be removed to day, or he'll cause carnage. and that even now it was likely he was still trying to buy

time. and he said, the deputy prime minister and just a secretary dominic rob should be in position as interim prime minister as early as thursday evening. we'll get to other uptake bow here on out to syrup. then she'll anchors economy in dire straits, will have more from colombo, where interest rates of just hit the highest level in 2 decades. a year after the assassination of president haiti is still trying to pick up the pieces. we'll have more the chaos left behind by juvenile moiz. ah, the journey has begun the faithful world copies on its way to catherine book. your travel package today. hello, they let look to east asia on more thunderstorm warning has been issued for the north east of china that's been inundated with rain last cause and pretty severe

supporting members have had their homes rated out of suffolk beatings and detention since the taliban takeover lost. here. people say that they've found the bodies of more than $100.00 men dumped in canals at other locations. patricia gospel is the associate director for asia at human rights watch and an author of that report. she says the taliban government fails to hold its forces accountable. when we 1st began to hear about these kinds of search operations and detention last fall. but what this report provides evidence of is the, the numbers of bodies that have turned up, and the accounts from residents who been looking for their relatives who were detained. some point apple, the told on peg over. and it was subsequently disappeared. and we have your relatives who been searching among the bodies in these canals to find the relatives who've been picked up by the tell about months ago. they do not want the i s k p to gain any further ground in afghanistan. but unfortunately,

they're adopting counterterrorism. tactics which are very likely to lead to more revenge and more recruitment by i s k p because whole communities have been targeted in these raids and that's likely just to feel resentment and grievances in those communities. what's important here is it's very similar to what we saw with the revenge killings of the africa national security forces, which we documented after the telephone takeover as well. it's more that the telephone authorities do not hold their own men accountable, but basically told them we had quoted as saying if you find someone who belongs to or support i s k p, the some state group, we just kill them. and with that message goes out and there's no accountability them. this is the result. one of the state schools in afghanistan was to be mind the country, but after 2 decades of occupation and limited support for the taliban government aid groups that issued a warning death. and injuries from land mines were made
