lines are, wow, we live here, we make the rule, not them. they find an enemy, and then they try and scare the people with people and power investigate exploded, and questions they used and abused have power around the globe on out. is there the latest news as it breaks? this decision basically said that the roe v wade decision was simply wrong. it is highly unusual for supreme court to overrule precedent with detailed coverage. the probably will not only significantly reduce the shadow price, but it is expected to initially economic boom from around the world. this one here depicts the late who it was offered a no up who is revolutionary poems in his play of the many ah,
6:01 pm
this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm so robin. you're watching the al jazeera news or life while headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes in politics. no one is remotely indispensable. horace johnson steps down after clinging on to power for days despite a flood of resignations by ministers and members of parliament. ah, people blew and heckle boris johnson outside, 10 downing street drowning out his resignation. speech and other headlines, hundreds of prisoners on the run in nigeria. after i saw members broke into a jail in the capital of buddha and human rights watch accused as the taliban of committing atrocities in eastern afghanistan, including summary executions. and i support more tennis history. 15 is his own
6:02 pm
shipper at wimbledon. she's become the 1st african woman to reach a gran, was on a final in the opening ah button to the news. our prime minister george boris johnson has finally bowed to pressure and announced that he stepping down. it came just 2 days of high drama, during which 60 members of his own government resigned, but johnson is remaining to find until the end. he says he'll continue to stay on as caretaker, prime minister until his own conservative party chooses his successor. i regret and not to have been successful in those arguments. of course, it's painful and not to be able to see through so many ideas and projects myself about as we seen at westminster. at the heard instinct is powerful when the heard
6:03 pm
moves, it moves, and my friends in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. and our brilliant and darwinian system will produce another leader equally committed to taking this country forward. while the bombers are corresponded outside dining streets and london following the sort of fascinating story and nadeem really, depending on who you ask, i presume the reaction to the prime minister's resignation is buried, considering the tone and the content of his speech outside of number 10, downing street b on egg just was an avalanche of yes sir. it was a fascinating an address here. it down in st term forest. johnson, of course, stepping down as conservative party leader saying that he would announce next week a time table for choosing a new party leader. but staying on as prime minister for the time being earlier on, it was being brief here might stay on until october. so in turn, in time for a new leader to be in place for the party conference in october,
6:04 pm
or he did say that and somebody equally capable as you just heard, were now take things forward. but at the same time, he said, insisted that he'd been stubbornly sticking to staying on even do during those and resignations that came flooding in because he felt it was his duty to you for it. take the country forward to do things like carry on supporting ukraine or in its war. things like turning the economy around with its cost of living crisis that's hitting hard and term. yes, he mentioned something that he called a herd mentality between the lines criticizing his own party politicians for moving to get rid of him, saying that to him when the heard moves it moves. he also suggested that in recent months his drop in popularity was due to what he called months of sledging and basically personal attacks rather than anything else. notably,
6:05 pm
when he lost 2 bi election in england and he was suggesting that a part, he's only a few points behind in the polls, which is not probably not true if you look at most of the recent opinion both. so i am, he is here fairly defiant in terms of the time table. he says that he has listens, he knows that he has to go. but for the time being he says he's appointed a new cabinet. they've met here on thursday. he says the personnel are in place to, to carry on functioning in the interim a lot of people are asking questions about exactly how effective the government can be right now. well, let's talk about that fact that he wants to stay on his caretaker because that in itself, nadine brings problems of its own with his own party, still with parliament and obviously with the opposition. and of course now we got a former prime minister in john major saying he's going to write to the 1922 committee for international v, as we need to know. i mean,
6:06 pm
what the importance of the 1922 committee are. we've heard that name banded a lot these last few days. so graham brady heads that committee, it's very influential within the conservative party and will determine at some stage who will become the next leader of the conservative party. that's right so so just to explain the 1922 committee is the group of back bench. mpm conservative members of parliament now just a 24 hours ago, people were looking to them. or in terms of uh, what would happen to push bar is johnson out. they met. they decided not to change their rules, which say that you can't hold a vote of no confidence less than 12 months after the last one. and the last one was in june, which bars johnson of course, one they said that meet next monday to install a new executive,
6:07 pm
an executive which would then push for a role change to allow the party to replace boris johnson. i am we are. there's nothing to suggest, they won't be meeting still next week, but john major has written to graham brady, the chair of that committee, saying that boys johnson should not be allowed to be a care. take a prime minister for the next couple of months. he said that it would be unwise, an unsustainable, suggesting that embarrass johnston's continued leadership could do damage to the u . k. he said that he does not believe that the new cabinet will be able to his words, restrain him. no love lost between 2 major and bars, johnson of course. but he suggesting that dominic, rob the deputy prime minister should or carrot should be the acting prime minister, or that there is a rule change. so that are just the policy via parties, members of parliament. so the conservative a parliamentary party choose
6:08 pm
a new leader through the their committee and then put that name to the wider membership because of course it's the conservative party membership that ultimately decide on the new leader. that's how things work. and of course nadeem in a we can to talk about what's going on at 10 downing street without not talking about the opposition and their reaction, very vocal very angry. they want to general election they do, they know that term there is a lot of resentment, even among stir conservative voters. people who voted in the conservatives in 2019 a lot of people in certain constituencies what they call the red wall in the north of england. switched from labor to the conservatives, are largely driven by bars. johnson's promises to get brakes done, and so they're well aware of the opinion, polls and kissed armor the year labor leader says that
6:09 pm
a for is johnson tries to stay on then he will try to bring in the house of commons, a vote of no confidence or of course, he would need the support of a considerable chunk of the conservative m p. 's. that doubt generally a firm, the prime minister, were to lose a vote of no confidence there that would lead to an election, but it does not have to happen the, the only, the only basis. the only thing that we need to know is a name of a person who can command the majority of the house. so there are a lot of variables here, and it seems that boys johnson is very determined to stay on in the interim. it's not clear whether his colleagues are going to listen to any more pressure from their colleagues, for rather if the cabinet will listen to their colleagues in parliament, of course they are now in position. they may well feel that it's in their interest to stay there. and that might give them some kind of momentum in terms of their own
6:10 pm
leadership challenge. show a lot of uncertainty right now, so that he bothered for say, in downing street, thanks for the update in a team. well, let's continue because the arist johnson of, as is often made device and controversial decisions during his time. as prime minister general as will not vote brass, he led his party to a landslide election victory in 2019. but boris johnson was to be undone. both by events in which conspired, and also by his own character flaws that critics say made him unfit for high office . most of them has no social visions. he has there is no moral leadership, but for him it was always about becoming crime. and not about being payments. and he, i think he knows himself well enough that he knows that he does not have the skills that you need to be a successful prime minister. sonya cornell was a reporter working alongside johnson in the brussels bureau of the daily telegraph
6:11 pm
. she describes a man with a lot of the child in him who enjoyed getting into and out of scrapes. a man drawn to calles and the chaos means that he can sort in, through all these things going along elise, all this noise, all this commotion as the person with the great i, dale, the wit, the witticism. and that is what appeals to him for his johnson. the corona virus pandemic was a perfect storm of crises and tales that blew attention away from other problems. despite his promise to get brakes, it done, britain remains money in dispute with its biggest trading part of the european union. the economy is underperforming. the cost of living, rising health and education systems. faltering success with the vaccine program helped obscure johnson's own indecision and delays in following scientific advice
6:12 pm
that contributed to one of the highest death tolls. in the developed world, former chief advisor, dominic cummings, described the prime minister's leadership as erratic in decisive distracted. nobody could find a way around the problem of the problem is that just like a shopping trolley smashing from one side to the other, the shopping trolley metaphor would quickly be seized upon by the opposition. so he's doing what he always does. crushing over to the other side of the aisle, boris johnson learned early to be self sufficient in a family of competitive siblings with a mother who suffered ill health and a father who was frequently absent. at the elite british boarding school eton he came to believe ordinary rules did not apply to him. in the infamous bullying and drinking club at oxford, the outward persona of a jovial buffoon disguised an inner ambition for power. and as both a journalist for the times newspaper and a minister in opposition,
6:13 pm
johnson was accused of lying and fire. these then, with the qualities he brought to politics as mayor of london as foreign secretary, and then his prime minister entitlement dishonesty and indifference. this is really the 1st time in his life where he's ever actually been held to account for the thing he's always been don't, he's always been excuse, is always been reasons made for, for his bad behavior. there was wide support for his handling of the war in ukraine, but johnson never recovered from the scandal known as party gate. he received a police file for attending a lockdown party in downing street, making him the 1st british prime minister to break the law while in office. a civil service report into a string of similar gatherings described a failure of leadership. eventually 148 of his own, m. p. 's, 40 percent of the parliamentary party turned against him. in a vote of no confidence country. maurice johnson limped on for
6:14 pm
a bit again. but the reasons to forgive him had run out. jona, how al jazeera was barstools his exit. let's take a quick look here to the front room as may be to take over the top job. i see for a chancellor, she's soon i know he had a high profile in the panoramic game popularity as the public face of the government's economic recovery plans, but concerns over his wife, tech status. we're costly then there's the foreign secretary list. trust now is one of the most popular senior members of the party, her previous pace and international trade secretary so has to kill post breaks it trade deals than those the form of foreign and health secretary, jeremy hunter was but response has been rival in the last leadership contest, also such a jarvis, who just resigned twice from boys. johnson's countenance, 1st of the chancellor, and then on tuesday at the health secretary and finding that in the hallway was immediately named as soon as the replacement of chancellor. and he's in with
6:15 pm
a chance perhaps while one of those contenders is less trust and was in bali for the g 20 summit. she's now on her way back home. rob bride has been following her in bali. less trust has often been cited as a leading potential candidate for the job of conservative lead a. hence, it would seem this surprise and sudden departure from bali. she has an interesting relationship with boris johnson being seen as an ally. she said, even after the recent resignation of cabinet ministers that she for one sand, 100 percent behind him. but now saying that she supports his decision to leave, in spite of his many achievements, she says, but it has raised some eyebrows that this international gathering, especially with the presence of the russian foreign minister said a lot of raw and also the existence of a britain traditional allies, the usa and other western powers, especially given list trustees commitment to ukraine. it has raised some questions
6:16 pm
just about britain commitment to that. and the possibility, it seems that british domestic politics takes priority. now the u. k. position labor party leader, kids, thomas as the prime minister should not remain in power through 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. the call now inflicting on the country for the next few months. it's obvious he's unfit to be promised about spin blindingly obvious for a very, very long time. and if they don't get rid of him, van labor will step up in the national interest or bring a vote of no confidence because we can't go on with this prime minister clinging on for months, a months to come. earlier out there is where we challenge to lay the party m p roop or huck. they started by asking her what labor thought about johnson's decision to finally resign? he was playing on by his finger bo cooper. hey,
6:17 pm
we were. we said that the drug came out kicking and screaming, and that's actually what happened. his speech showed no contrition or anything. it was that you know, the system is wrong kinds of things. so yeah, he's gone, but we still have the conservative in government and whoever they replace him maybe can rearrange the titanic, but it will be a tory, i think we need a general election yesterday. you will need to just describe the incoming cabinet as like the charge of the lightweight brigade. why did he use language like that? well, i mean he, for his children has been cut by lotus to do so long and of the prime ministers had government of all the talents. and they would utilize the skills of different wings . whereas his cabinet were pretty much rewarded for loyalty rather than ability. and he lost the confidence of i'm even to new members, i think within hours best michel donaldson. i'm the james the hallway for his hey,
6:18 pm
so what do you want to see next? what is the labor party? want to see next? how quickly should the tories replace or at johnson? do you actually have any preference for who they are fighting with? i think it's not really a question of changing the face of the talk because whoever is it will be a conservative government. i think now it's time for a generally lecture. we need to refresh the whole lot. i've spoken to people before that said sit, or something is actually delight parties. great. because he was becoming so top tech to the electorate. presumably the conservatives are going to replace him with someone less talk to the electorate. so that could be a problem for the labor party going forward. you think? i mean, i just think bringing on, we've had a conservative government for 12 years. it started off with diversity and now we've got record inflation heading. so who knows, maybe 12 percent for the cost of living christ an energy crisis. you name it. i
6:19 pm
think it's really time for general election and i don't mind who they will take. maybe because we need to late because the big problems of the country, you know, for our international audience that the british, an actual system can be a little difficult to understand. and that you can have a party that's in power replaced the leader, and then not have the general election for some time. previous leaders, i've got a new prime minister to come into place 33, that method. what would you like to see happen in regards to a general election? when do you want to see a general election? literally, i think a general election should be held this soon as possible because yes it was for is johnson who is they like to didn't? 2019. but if we're guessing only like 2 minutes foisted upon us, i think in the interested democracy the whole country needs the same. and what about labours prospects? the next election, you have obviously, famously in 2019 lost
6:20 pm
a large wave of the electorate in the north of the country. traditional labor vices, who decided they didn't want to buy labor ready more. are there any signs of that coming back? well, we just saw the other week, the wakefield file, actually that traditional read will, where we have a massive swing towards labor. if you look at the opinion polls at the moment, they say no, only, i think 69 percent when i saw yesterday for a still should go time, please listen to that. i did i someone priced him away from that position. but they also show that labor is in the lead. so yeah, i think we can do it. and i'm afraid my boss, john smith made multiple trips to the ukraine in capital during the war and his resignation speech. she specifically mentioned the people have you crime. let me say now to the people of ukraine that i know that we in the u. k. will continue to back your fight for freedom, for as long as it takes less care more less from allah fisher, who's in key for sir no fish reaction from as lindsey's office, i believe. but sir,
6:21 pm
we are expecting some news from him though. well, he is hugely popular here and ukraine, in fact, an opinion poll just last month, gave him 19 percent approval rating. just 3 points behind president lensky himself . though in the last couple of hours, the has been a phone call between downing street and presidents the landscape read out coming from downing street rather from here and keep saying that president zalinski thanked god, bought his johnson for all his efforts on behalf of the korean people and he said that he took decisive action, but when it counted, he is so popular here that he has his own name, they call them boris john senior. and the chief of staff to president zalinski said on twitter that he was grateful for, boris johnson coming to key while the missiles were falling. and also for calling out what he described as the russian monster. but there were those in the united
6:22 pm
kingdom who believed that boris johnson used his trips to keep. and also his phone calls the president, the landscape as some sort of political cover to use that to distract from problems at home. and in fact, after he suffered a very embarrassing election, defeat in the united kingdom has buried the very next day. he was here and keep meeting with a president zalinski i. what is interesting is that others who may have been critical of him because of his other policies seem to find comfort in his support for ukraine. notably, the former ukrainian ambassador at to austria, tweeting out that many of his friends hated boris johnson because of its stance on breaks it. they begin occasion evolved from the european union and he himself disliked him greatly for that. but he said he absolutely got it right on the cause in ukraine, there are many aboard as johnson supporters. we'll see that he led the western alliance and taking action in ukraine. there are those in the us who would dispute
6:23 pm
that saying that joe biden was much more responsible for putting together the coalition. and also the sanctions that were imposed on russia. and of course, much of the weapons and meant much of the money that is putting into ukraine is coming from the united states. but there is no doubt that people here respect forest johnson greatly and fight at one bakery here, sold out of a pastry that they developed in his honor called the boris johnson. it was an apple cake, which had a moran top to replicate his pretty hectic hair style. but those in key believe that there will be no change in policy from the united kingdom on ukraine, simply because there will be a new prime minister and a reformed conservative government alopecia in keith. thanks to the update. ah,
6:24 pm
that's built underneath now more than $400.00 prisoners are still on the run in nigeria after an attack on a detention facility that was claimed by iso. not more than 800 in mesa skate from the correctional center in a future, and at least 3 prisoners and a security officer were killed. leading figures from the i sal and boca her mom groups are believed to be along those still on the loose that even came to do with the records. we believe that much less and less likely there will rosewood affairs will number of her attention. and then eventually with and with his wrists. husband, could you, outside the nigerian capital, a future shock and disbelief is gradually being replaced by dea and anxiety. people are wondering how maximum security are medium secure to prison with maximum
6:25 pm
security. sure, just a few kilometers from the capital could come under severe tax hours without the security or the security services overpowering the attackers. now to talk more about the fear and concerns of residents of quick, i've taught tuesday evenings, incident is emanuel approval in manuel. talk to us about what happened and what are your concerns. thank you very much. my name is mona puddle. world incidents. m. let it go. it's available. i submitted it. i mean, no one should be this brings up like me alley break loose loose. if i wasn't on here when half of the happen, when you had the 1st bloss, we're like a jesus banga look out what's on the court, has an almost them doesn't do this to legally whom it's into close to visit the school's. oftentimes, let's move to this one, got it. now basically, you're also trade out here in the project and, and,
6:26 pm
and then now what are your fears and concern up to the office on sundays us? you can see how do you place these? these are very busy please. yes. late yesterday or you can let me get to be said, we'll shut down schools. nobody went to school. now if these guys lived in number visit, what was on the social media. we had a, if they're me, something they properly the, you know, it could sugar some to knows. what is it that is on the security put us in the initial look at those i live in the, in the us. but as it was anywhere, was, was her now to our top story, the resignation of the british prime minister, we can cross over to pull brennan and the british capital and pull the full out, continues from those that liked forests johnson and those that didn't with this date, i mean people are dissecting exactly how boris johnson went about out and getting himself out of danny street. the speech that he gave it was short, it was sharp,
6:27 pm
it didn't have a huge amount of personal reflection or culpability in it. and he described those sued hours with him as being eccentric, and lamented the fact that he not been able to dissuade them from that eccentricity . jeremy is one of the pharmacist strongest critics. for a long time is to bias ellwood and pay show what i what do you make of how the prime minister, well described his own predicament and on his departure speech. you know, it's been a dramatic week in politics, miss craig this week, that either experience in all my time. and i'm please, we've got here today, bit, we should have been hit months ago, and recognizing that force johnson was not going to allow us to win the next election that was proved to the local election results in the by elections as well in the polling to we were constantly fire fighting, we weren't able to get on to the big picture issues and provide that vision that the britain actually requires. and i'm afraid that wasn't any sense of contrition. there wasn't any sense of apology in that speech itself. but we all way we are,
6:28 pm
we draw a line, we now need to have that important leadership contests and have that quickly efficiently. so we can actually choose a new leader and start to regroup and rebuild that trust with the british people that we've hemorrhage of the last few months. it's a lot of consent. i put it probably mildly when i describe it that way about the fact the forest johnson is going to stay in danny street for potentially up to 3 months. i mean dominic cummings, i well no nemesis at the prime minister said the promise to my course carnage if he's allowed to stay. john major, a former conservative prime minister said it's, it's simply not really on. i don't know where you stand on that. yeah, lots of use coming in there. i think we was, it's been so hard in eci, you know, coming to this point of getting boris johnson to stand down. it. the question is suddenly arisen, what happens next? how long will he that she be in power? i suspect we're going to see expedited leadership contests. it's in to hobbs. as you may know, the 1st one is m p 's choose 2 candidates and we can probably do that pretty swiftly over the next 5 to 10 days. those 2 names then sit across to the potty
6:29 pm
membership that can probably be done in a just a month or so. question is, is whether you then allow boys johnson to hold on to power during that time. i hope we won't see, as it's only united states donald trump, to forget what he was doing with potentially things on iran and so on. we won't get out here because we have the mechanisms to prevent that. but ultimately, yes, there are concerns because of trust as to whether we should have an interim prime minister. go to the queen a say we got somebody else to just to stand in during this time. i don't wanna lose our international views, but it would seem sensible perhaps that tonic, rob, who is the deputy prime minister on who has expressed no desire to stand for the prime minister ship. it would make sense. you would thing for him. so if he that would be a potential option. it's full grain, brady, the head of 1922 committee who deals with all the back bent stuff to bill to look at this and see what can be, can be achieved. but ultimately, yes, it is a concern. if there's an eel gated process to for britain to have a new leader for that to take place. i would stress though that i'm conscious this is being washed across the world. and this is damaged,
6:30 pm
our reputation as talk has gone up because of what we're doing. and ukraine has been diminished because the damage is kohl's and the mother of all plans will places and will change policy and on foreign policy. i mean, michelle bonnie aysa tweeted the departure bars, johnson opens a new page and relations with the u. k. may it be more constructive, more respectful of commitments made in particular regarding peace, instability in, nor the islands and more friendly with partners in the u. we've left the european union, that's very, very clear. we got that political distance, but we need to work with the european union as well. half of our trading still goes to the continent us as well. but at the moment, as the o b r suggest is costing us 4 percent of our g d p. that's 40000000000 pounds every year to the, to the treasury. so we need to revisit that in the, in a readjust. our model of brick did itself, we can now do that with a better relationship as you're implying there. of course, we've also got these bigger issue such as ukraine security is, is what russia is that she doing. that requires all nat, nato countries, european countries to work together. and that's why they prime ministers jobs is so
6:31 pm
important. do you have your own personal favorite for the next prime minister? it's early days at all. i would suggest and humbly ask, you know, is that we look to have a leader for the nation, not just a leader for the conservative party and a conservative party base, which is a bit right of right, a center itself. we need somebody that's going to win the next general election, not just when support from tao of associations and our membership very grateful he is talking to talking to myself with. thank you very much indeed. listen, they are the way that this will play out is as to why, as i would said there, the 1922 committee, this back bench committee of non government members will meet next week to try and type this camera at the time table. but there is no certainty that bar us johnson won't be able to hang on for potentially a couple of moments in number 10 downing street pulled one and under forest. thanks for much full. well as we just had cools all going full responses to leave number 10 immediately. now, johnson says he is sad to be leaving what he called the best job in the world. i am
6:32 pm
immensely proud of the achievements of this government from getting ready done to settling our relations with the continent for over half a century, reclaiming the power for this country to make it so. laws in parliament getting us all through the pandemic, delivering the fastest vaccine realized in europe, the fastest exit from lockdown. and in the last few months, leading the west in standing up to putin's aggression in ukraine. left bringing patrick diamond is a professor in public policy at queen mary university in london. and mister diamond, thanks so much for joining us on al jazeera. i mean, let's just begin with you. crank is boris dots was very clear that support for ukraine would, can deal, would continue. that's a done deal. that. yes, i think that sir, clearly right, obviously, or is johnson has been 8th. it's actually vociferous supporter of the ukrainians in
6:33 pm
battle against putin's russia sch, but it seems some very likely that whoever succeeds him, his prime minister will continue the robust policy on ukraine. the british government has followed since the conflict started. so of course, i know we now have, in this scenario where there are lots of foreign policy issues to be discussed and to, to, to sort out post breaks at northern ireland continues to be a sort of major sticking point. we're sort of no working assembly looking after sort of the regional nation and the potential legal disputes with the e u. this is a festering wound at the moment, isn't it for the conservative party? yes it is. i think there's an assumption that with doris johnson moving on, he will be replaced by a concerted party leader and prime minister, who takes a more emollient position on europe and is prepared perhaps to entrance more constructive relationships with the european union on these questions that you
6:34 pm
mentioned like the non protocol because that isn't necessarily the case. there are potential candidates for the leadership of the party and the premier ship. it could be even more robust than the handling of european issues. i'm thinking, for example, of the current foreign secretary list trust, but it is also an opportunity to turn the page. it is an opportunity for a fresh start in terms of the case relationship with the post breaks it. so those in british politics you won't britain to move closer to the with no joint rejoining the evil together will inevitably take some harm from boris johnson's departure. who will any sort of new leader do you think revisit or re look at how to bring sort of similar malice, say to the u. k. relationship with the because as to boss, i would just said that to a reporter pull, brennan, you know, we have to work with the largest trading partner. and at the moment we're just making enemies, even if i just go to what the irish prime minister michael martin said on the 16th
6:35 pm
of june, he was talking about the relationship between island, the u. k. northern ireland. and he's talk about the unilateralism of the worst kind when the british government starts to change parts of the brick set deal. that bar is signed up to. yeah, i mean, what's been the thing very striking about the brakes. it policy that the government's followed over the last 2 years, also under forest. johnson's leadership is that it is in some ways very antsy conservative. it rather offenders would have been for many decades. core principles of the conservative party at one is it's pragmatism on economic issues. the reality is that going for this very called model breaks. it has meant that it has clearly caused some damage to the british economy. and that's not something we can service . we traditionally have done. they've always been very pragmatic on economic issues because they know that the personal prosperity, their bonuses is more men maintain that position in office. i think equally on the organ on handling of some of the security issues. again,
6:36 pm
they would've been very pragmatic in putting forward what they would see as a british national interest. and so this policy of almost having an antagonistic relationship with the has rather on the mind, the traditional conservative position. i think that will be a debate in the leadership, asked about whether the concert is need to return to the traditional pragmatic stance when you're asked to buy. so it was a previous interview. i mean mister diamond, you like, myself were british. we lived through the, the troubles of northern island, even though i was let yourself mystery on the, on the british main line. but we watched and we worried about peace in northern ireland at some stage. i mean, the protocol itself ushered in a peace process. that is for some politicians being undermined with the prospect of sectarian violence that we're hearing about now. and then this worries the united states. they also have a vested interest in making sure that you know that the peace process remains intact. because they've also alluded to the fact that any trade deals done with the united kingdom depend on peace in northern ireland and
6:37 pm
a government that is operational works of the people of northern ireland. there were lots of cogs to this wheel. you might say a complicated been diagram that all have to meet together. yeah, i mean, i think that the tendency, unilaterally renegotiate protocol is been a cause of concern, obviously, to the end and teach the biden administration in the united states. and that again is on the mines, the case breaks it policy because it's you justin for the whole point of the policy was the britain would be able to enjoy free trade relationships with many different parts of the world, including united states. but it's handling of northern ireland u. k. government sampling is meant the, the chance of a trade deal really very limited indeed with united states. so it's undermined really one of the core purposes of it. i think also more generally this comes back to the point i was just making about the concerts of party principles. the conservative party is the conservative and unionist party. and the reality is the
6:38 pm
policy is for the brakes. it has to some extent undermined cohesion of the united kingdom on northern ireland. is he just mentioned, but actually also in scotland. whereas you know, there is now the series prospect of another independence referendum that isn't entirely caused by force johnston's handling. it breaks it, but i think it's been a contributory factor. so again, what breaks it on the approach the government is taken on the board, johnson has done is to undermine the core basis in united kingdom. and that's obviously very serious. and i would suspect will be a strong tendency conserves a policy that wants to get back to some kind of will not say a much more pragmatic politics. it's about showing up the in the k through a more flexible approach or breaks it. it will be very interesting to see what happens in the days ahead for the by the patrick diamond that from murray university in london. thanks so much joining us. let's move on to sri lanka where they just raised that interest rates, the highest levels in more than 20 years. the basic lending rate is now at 15.5
