how much we have to go buy one of each of the skin. modern slavery in the u. k is enormous. we just seen the tip of the iceberg. we had somebody call the molding slavery. i just been surrounded with conroe student punch someone in the stone. i haven't companies need to thought to understand that this is exploitation. if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. and there are some very, very knows to people. at the al jazeera investigates britain's modern slave trade. how and why did, who become so obsessed with this law? we were giving them a tool to hold corrupt individuals and human rights abusers accountable. very when i rip this deal apart, if they take the white house of 2025, what is the world hearing? what we're talking about, why american today we take on us politics and society, that's the bottom line ah.

in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. forest johnson starts down after clinging to path days a despite a flood of resignation by ministers and mpg. ah, people do and heckle boys, john's not side number 10, downing street drowning out his resignation speech. ah, i'm in watching. i was there like my headquarters here in doha also coming up. hundreds of prisoners on the run in nigeria after i sl members broke into a jail near future and the fate of millions in northwestern syria hang in the balance as russia threatens to sever a crucial lifeline. ah,

welcome to the program. prime minister boys, johnson has finally bowed to pressure and announced that he stepping down. it came after 2 days of high drama, during which any 60 members of his own government resigned. but johnson, his remaining defined until the and he says that hell stay on as caretaker, british prime minister until his conservative party chooses a 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. but as we seen at westminster, at the heard instinct is powerful when the hard 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. that in bubba correspondence, chosen half months, i downing street, it was

a very interesting departure speech in terms of tone and contents in boston. there are people and then some i may just, there have been many people who liked him. yes. will there mean there were things that for his young and said in that address, which are many people won't. i won't, it won't have very much an issue with in terms of him thanking people. and there was a round of applause afterwards from star, from some of his allies in the party here and down the street and a and as you just heard, he said, bert said he has a he believes that somebody else can do a good job. but at the same time, he said that the reason why he did a dog in and refused to try to resign. when all of those are ministerial resignations were happening was that he felt it was his duty to carry on to try to lead through the summer to get to grips with the cost of living crisis. for example, that return every return route, the economy

a lead britain through with its assistance to ukraine in the war. he mentions. and yes, he seems to suggest that it was, as you heard a herd mentality amongst his own m. p. 's, which had led to his downfall, he referred to months of sledging. also, he has been accused of being ungracious in those parts of his address. and of course, he now has resigned as the conservative party leader, not as prime minister, because he says he will be the caretaker figure out in the next couple of months. he says he's got a team behind him who can, who can provide, create a effective government, get the policies that he wants to get through or through parliament. he is insisting victim that he is acting in the nation's interests. not everybody shares his view. of course sir nadeem, you touched on the fact that not everybody was very pleased with past all the

speech. i mean, what sort of reaction are you getting to the way he's resigned and, and the fact that he's going to still be in number 10 was, is not a done deal this, this is our voice once again, stay here until before. well, it's extremely controversial, but it also exposes the lack of him, of a constitutional, a framework for what happens. the leader of the opposition can storm of the labor party leader and said that employees johnson does to try to stay on his interim leader. then he will try to bring a vote of no confidence in the house of commons. of course, hillman needs many conservative m. p 's on his side to win that and then that could you trigger another general election, although it's not under automatic m, within the conservative party mean weeks and bars. johnson has plenty of enemies, notably the form of premier job major, who's written to the back, which 1922 committee to the chairman of that committee. graham brady are saying

virt johnson staying on is unwise, an unsustainable in the national interest. he says that to him that his cabinet colleagues will not be able to quote, restrain boris johnson. he says that either dominic rob should be in places or an acting prime minister or the party changes its own rule. so that is not the whole membership of a $100000.00 or so who choose the new leader, but just the conservative members of parliament and then the name that they come forward with could be approved by the membership. so lots of unknowns right now for the time being boris johnson is in position. we've seen some cabinet colleagues leave looking fairly garmin the last couple of hours and, but term yet nobody's really speaking. we know that some of his colleagues are lining up their leadership campaigns. we're hearing that for example, where she soon at a year previous m chancellor has chosen a hotel or. busy reportedly in the center of london as his base and others are

keeping a low profile for now, but we can expect something to move in the next few days that evolve a force there in downing street. thank you. now understood, stepped down from his role as housing minister on wednesday. he says it's important . the conservative party unites under a newly dom and works to win back the confidence of the british people. i'm not going to knock my money's down. i thought i had to make a difficult decision, but i recognized he's done an enormous amount of work as prime minister, not least the breck situation. we found ourselves in responding quickly to the pandemic. and of course, the issues that we're seeing in ukraine. but ultimately, you know, people were raising with me about trust and integrity. and so i had to make that decision to go yesterday. politicians get about name anyway. we don't want to confirm that. and i think it's important that we have people in place that people can trust and that's what i want to see restored. but now is

a time for this transition to happen. that the leadership election happen. and we can carefully consider who the next leader with the party should be. it's the normal run of things. when the prime minister stands down, look, they do continue until the new leaders been elected that happens with david cameron . it happened with truth may and you know, we need to get functioning government up and running again quickly because there are some serious issues that need addressing. let that process happen so that we can get on with running the country. the thing is we mustn't forget that there are thousands of civil servants in those in the system that do an incredible job. and so they won't be making sure that that's processes still happen in terms of you know, the process of delivering legislation in here. that is slightly in flux at the moment, but i'm pretty confident that that will be restored trail, you know, pretty quickly and, but certainly by next week there are some really big challenges facing the country, not least cost of living. and people concerned about that and seeing, you know,

the price is rising, inflation is a concern to people. and also how we respond, continue to respond in the situation in ukraine. so i want to listen carefully to what the candidates have to say and see what their vision is for the country, but also how they want to leaders into the next election so that we can hopefully win that again, we're going to unite now behind whoever is the new leader, and we to speak directly to the people of this country that we are serious about addressing that concerns. bar stools and as often may divisive, uncontroversial decisions during his time. as the case, prime minister john hope has more, did 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 he conspired, and also by his own character flaws that critics say made him unfit for high office or still some has no say salvation. he has, there is no moral leadership for him. it was always about becoming priming,

sir. not about being hyman's that 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 panell was a reporter working alongside johnson in the brussels bureau of the daily telegraph . 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 of in, through these things going wrong. leave all this noise, all this commotion as the person with great idea the weight, the witticism. and that is what appeals to him for his johnson. the corona virus pandemic was a perfect storm of crises and scales that blew attention away from other problems. despite his promise to get brakes, it done, britain remains mud and 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 that contributed to one of the highest death tolls. in the developed world, former chief adviser, dominic cummings, described the prime minister 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 well. he always was 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 bowling 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, 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 actually been held to account for the thing he's always been don't. he's always been excused. there's always been reasons made for him. for his 5 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 fine 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. maurice johnson limped on for a bit again. but the reasons to forgive him had run out. journal al jazeera, made of the opposition cast elements 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. that's been 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 month to come. with postal says exit. let's take a quick look here to the front runner, the for the top job bullets, the former chancellor rash. you see not keys at a high profile job. during the pandemic key gain popularity as the public face of the government's economic recovery plans. but there are concerns over his wife tax status and they remained costly. foreign secretary lives trust is one of the most popular senior members of the party and her previous post. as international trade secretary, she secured post breaks it trade deals form for the health secretary, james hunt, a jeremy and putney with bowers. johnson's been rival in the last leadership contest as, as a java. it has also now resign twice from johnson's cabinets. first of the chancellor and the tuesday, as health secretary, there's also the, the, the hallway. now he was immediately named a ceilings replacement as chancellor. and then the defense equity ben wallace has emerged as a favorite tease, been a key figure in the case government support for ukraine. while one of those content

is less trust was in bali for the g 20 meeting, but she's now on her way back to the u. k. from brian has moved from 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 just about britain commitment to that. and the possibility it seems that british domestic politics takes priority ah, revealed to the days other news now and more than $400.00 prisoners are still on the road in nigeria after the attack, all the detention facility that was claim. but i saw more than 800 and major escape from the correctional center in the future, and at least 3 prisoners insecurity. officers were killed, leading figures from the iceland back to her mom groups of least be those still leaves the people him to do. it is just for the records live that is much less and less actually the 1st we have there's a little number and there was

an interest has more from a boucher apart from iso claiming responsibility. the government says it's still looking for the escape prisoners, but the question is, how far have they gone and how easy will it be for them to recover the prisoners? we're talking about $6.00 to $3.00 or 64 harden bulk. what i'm commanded, including the chief bomb maker, and one of the fear, fear commanders on the battle on the battlefield. yes. but what i'm fighters and i feel i swear, support is maybe surrendering and been all peace of the country. but these are the foot soldiers. we talking about people who've been recruited or forced to fight for the group, but on wednesday night, what we sole, if keep on people convicted of atrocities in the north, east and other parts of the country. and these are members of islip and book water

. um these people are on the news and that brings us to the next question. what's the mood like around a boucher where this incident happen? there is fear and concern that these people may be high but eating with a larger community. and there could be, it could be possible that probably in the next few weeks, or months or even years to come, there will still be living with this people and the threat of bomb attacks and the capital that have been that has, that has disappeared for more than 5 or 6 years now, will return in the capital. not russia is threatening to use its veto power at the un security council to shut a critical aid, colorado into northern syria. the security council is expected to vote on whether to reauthorize its use later on thursday. at least 3000000 people rely on humanitarian deliveries made through the crossing. said in consider has more from a stumble. 4 and a half 1000000 people are internally displaced in syria. most of them live in

a crisis that would force more syrians to be displaced and die while trying to survive. more than 4600 you and trucks, mostly carrying food have used the crossing in the 1st 6 months of 2020 to 2 on the job. job michigan stim chrome. so the u. n's bible, how a corridor is the best. it's transparent, safe and cost effective. none of the alternatives are better if it's closed, even preventable deaths may not be stopped. the un estimates 13400000 syrians needed assistance last year out from 11100000 in 2020. must not, with some serious are imported from government controlled area or here in turkey, but as dilute values and different prices for because of the war in ukraine. it is only compelling to prices for millions of people who are dependent on international a seneca solo. l to sierra stumble maslanka has raised its interest rates to the
