extend the use of a key acreage or from turkey and in sport, rafael madero has been forced to pull out of his wimbledon semi final injury, putting it into his hopes of winning a 3rd strike grand slam title this year, ah hello, welcome to the news our we begin here in the u. k, where the prime minister boris johnson has bowed to mounting prussia and announced that he will step down as soon as his party a legs a new lead up. the now when it comes after 48 hours of high drama, which saw nearly 60 politicians resign, johnson have been under pressure over several scandals within his government. the path now to choosing a new prime minister will be sess house in the coming days. are jazz areas where a challenge begins our coverage, british politics,
12:03 am
that brilliant darwinian system as far as johnson put it, punish his vulnerability. good afternoon everybody. and even the man once famously described as a greased picket, couldn't wriggle as of this one. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. but them, the brakes going not yet gone far as the prime minister is to become boris, the caretaker, prime minister. it is clearly not the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that should be a new leader of that party and that a new prime minister. and i agree with the great brady, the chairman of our back bench, m p 's. that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now, and the time table will be an ard next week. and either today appoint you to cabinet to serve as i will until the new data is in place. it was a speech show on contrition,
12:04 am
and it gave the impression of johnson as the victim rather than the agent of his own demise. since tuesday, when key cabinet ministers, santi, job aid, and richie sue not quit, the pace at which johnson supportive operated was astonishing. the chris pincher affair, and what johnson knew about previous sexual misconduct congregations against the m . p. was a scandal too far. by thursday morning, the number of resignations had passed 50 and counting. as an old westman, the saying that a week is a long time in politics. we're currently that units of measurements seems quaintly inadequate. try an hour, maybe 5 minutes. and there are many conservatives for whom speed has become vitally important. they don't want forrest johnson hanging around for months until a replacement is found. they want him gone. now. george freeman for example, who resigned as science minister? sadly he carries with him a huge magnetic field force of instability. and it's disruptive and divisive.
12:05 am
and it's been a strength as a campaigner, it's been a huge weakness as the prime minister in the government as the last few weeks a month showed. so who will be the next prime minister, m p 's would like to feel reduced to to within a couple of weeks, some are already throwing their hats in the ring in every private soldier's backpack. there was a field marshal's battle. having seen the performance of our cabinets over the last 12 months, i think i would be encouraged to stand justice. past leadership races have shown candidates are often successful because of who they arms rather than who they are. and if the conservative party have any sense, it will learn the lessons for us. johnson this to multi was time and power will reach helen's now to 0 london. so speaking with him, barbara, he joins a sly from westminster and a few days of great drama. and fast moving events, nadeem,
12:06 am
do you know any more about boys johnson's departure and what it was that persuaded him to go in the end? oh, there are various theories about what really pushed him into. actually saying that he was going to step down as the conservative party leader on thursday. having not done that throughout wednesday when we saw dozens of junior ministers and the like a resign from their posts, people on the government payroll. now, many of those positions are still unfilled, he has replaced the cabinet, vacancies, which were created arm and so he is insisting that he can carry on or in the interim period, he says he will stay the caretaker prime minister until there's a new leader in place and in his 1st cabinet meeting after that statement at down in street, he told his cabinet colleagues, they would not be introducing any new policy before the new person, the new man or woman. busy or had been appointed, so i mean, so for example,
12:07 am
no introduction of the tax cuts. he's been a trumpeting recently. rory's report referred to some of the m, the niggles, some of the unhappiness with many of his colleagues by his tone in that departure speech essentially blaming a herd mentality among his colleagues for pushing him. but even before that during the week, he did basically implied that his own m. p. 's were at fault for not am acting against stern chris, a pincher, the a m p who sir behavior has got for his johnson now through his appointment into so much trouble said the toad has been seen to be somewhat off and now that's creating tension within the cabinet that already exists at m because one person am who resigned is pointed out that in the cabinet there's no deems a hallway than you are chancellor who on 1st they called on berries. johnson to go finally just before he said he would, there swell
12:08 am
a brave m and one of the few people who said that she would stand for leader. imagine how those cabinet meetings are going to be conducted in the next few weeks . yes, at the thank all government, but perhaps at some would say it was that was already the case before or as johnson's resignation. how much concern is there then in parliament about boys johnson stang on and contain his caretaker prime minister until he or to more until a successor is chosen without considerable earn. there's considerable erm annoyance by some of his colleagues or who say that his time scale talking about staying on until the party conference in october is wishful thinking, or at least one tory empty you standing for the executive of the back bench. 1922 committee as written to the committees chairman graham brady urging him to speed up the process of whittling down the candidates among tori, appease their voting in the 1st. and they'll be voting in the 1st instance,
12:09 am
whittling down to 2 candidates so that they can present them to the party membership. busy at by basically the year summer recess july the 21st and saying that should only take 3 or 4 weeks. so at the end of august, predicting that they could be a new party leader. hence a new prime minister. we're not sure whether that is going to happen. others ready or just want johnson to wake up and smell the coffee about the discontent and let dominic rod the deputy prime minister takeover as interim prime minister doesn't seem within boris johnson's character that he would take such a step. belabor opposition is saying if he doesn't go soon, they'll try to force a vote of no confidence in parliament that's unlikely to win because it needs the backing of lots of conservative m. p 's voting against their government and the risk of triggering a general election. all right, thanks very much all the latest. they're on the survey from westminster and team barber. i or boys johnson has nights and divisive and controversial decisions
12:10 am
during his time as prime minister out there as at china. hall takes look at now. it has at his political career and his legacy not vote for us. 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 offers or still some has no say salvation. he has, there is no moral leadership, but for him it was always about becoming hyman's. they're not about being hyman's there. and he, i think he knows himself well enough that he knows 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
12:11 am
to calles and the calles means that he can sort in through all these things going wrong, elise, all this noise, all this commotion as the person with great i dale the width the witticism and that is what appeals to him for his johnson. the corona virus pandemic was a perfect storm of crises and calles 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 advisor, dominic cummings, described the prime minister's leadership as erratic in decisive distracted. nobody
12:12 am
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 and in an ambition for power. and as both a journalist for the times newspaper and a minister in opposition, johnson was accused of lying and fired. these then, with the qualities he brought to politics as mayor of london as foreign secretary,
12:13 am
and then his prime minister entitlement dishonesty and indifference. this is really the 1st time in his life where he's ever, she'd been held to account for the thing he's always been. so she's always been excused. there's always been reasons made for him. for his 5 behaviors. 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 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, though as far as johnson's exit,
12:14 am
who were the font runners for the top job. former chancellor richie synnex had a high profile during the pandemic. he was the public face of the government's economic recovery plans. but his face criticism since and over his wife tax status, phone secretary lives trust is one of the most popular senior members of the party . previous post of international trade secretary, so has tickets and post breaks that trade deals also in the running form of foreign and health factory. jeremy hunt, who was bar johnson's main rival in the previous leadership contests. sandra job, it is now resign twice from baris johnson cabinets. first. charlotte then on tuesday he quit as hell secretary and a dim ha, we was immediately named as soon as replacement is chancellor. so we and his family left iraq during saddam hussein's early years and power previously served as education secretary and then defense. actually ben wallace is now emerged as a free verse as well. he's been a,
12:15 am
a key player in there. you k government support the ukraine after russia's invasion, and then actually in just the past hour or so someone else has thrown their house in the ring. british conservative lawmaker tom at 2 going out says he is launching his leadership bed. he is the chairman of parliament's foreign affairs select committee and as an outs that he wants to put together a coalition of colleagues to bring a new energy and ideas into, to bridge the brakes. it divide in the country. so it's a crowded field of candidates. there is no clear favorite bars, johnson is going to be empowered, at least that's what he's trying to do. and earlier on, he spoke with ukraine's president. it was after standing down, wrote him, his zalinski praise him for taking decisive action when it counted, most, johnson said, the british government will continue to support ukraine's fight for freedom. let me say now to the people, have you grown that i know that we're in the u. k. will continue to black. your
12:16 am
fight for freedom, for as long as it takes alan fisher has more now from ukrainian capital cave. 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 kingdom who believed the polish johnson news has trips to keep. and also his phone calls, the president zalinski a 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 very the very next day he was here and keep meeting with a president zalinski i. what is interesting is that other to me are being critical of him because of his other policies seem to find comfort in his support for ukraine. notably, the former ukrainian ambassador to austria,
12:17 am
tweeting out that many of his friends hated boris johnson because of his stance on breaks. it gives removal from the european union and he himself disliked him greatly for that. but he said he absolutely got it right on the calls and ukraine. many abolish johnson supporters will say that he led the western alliance and taking action in ukraine. there are those in the us who would dispute that saying that joe biden was much more responsible for putting together the coalition. and also the sanctions that were imposed in russia. and of course, much of the weapons and met much of the money that is pouring into ukraine is coming from the united states. but there is no doubt that people here respect forest johnson greatly. and jonathan tongue as a professor of politics, university of liverpool, joins us live by skype. is this going to be a smooth transition or other ways for it to be thrown into even greater chaos in disruption? i think it's going to be a difficult transition. first of all,
12:18 am
there are some concern is you won't maurice johnson to simply quit now on not stay until the autumn, as a caretaker, prime minister of those who do accept boards. johnson, as it has a good prime minister, but there's an awful lot of writers in terms of who wants to succeed in this is could be the biggest leadership contest you ever seen in british conservative party history. we could have as many as 14 or 15 candidates lining up with a lot of jostling for position within the party. many of them with considerable foreign affairs experienced people i talked to halt before and secretary list trust . lots and lots of ambitious candidates that some of whom, some of their ambition probably exceeds that capabilities is going to be difficult then to narrow it down to just 2 candidates. because of course, the party wants this to be as disciplined and as expedited as possible as any couple of weeks left till they break for summer. yeah,
12:19 am
there are only 11 working days left until the house of commons breaks up for the summer. so the men, the members part of the sort of the m p 's part of sorting out the next leader is going to have to be doing very, very quickly indeed because they need to whittle down those 1415. however many candidates down to 2 for on who the conservative party members the all new members will vote, they will choose from the final to. so there's going to be very, very quick ballots taking place of the of the candidates, likely to stand, ben wallace, the defense secretary, who's been like verse johnson, a regular visit to, to ukraine. he just about starts favorite. then you've got the former chancellor richie sooner and you got the foreign secretary list trust. they would probably be the 3 stand candidates at this stage, but sometimes that can be unexpected results in conservative party leadership contest. i remember it's those members who will decide ultimately got their members welcome. 70 party members. very pro regs it so. ready so it will be tied
12:20 am
a candidate who wants fact that remaining here is an important thing is that it's now or down to 2 candidates. and then it's thrown open to the white party membership and activists all over the country. it's a couple of $100000.00 and then they decide yes is extraordinary. there's probably only about a 140000 conservative party members now, in effect, 140000 people in a country of some 70000000 will decide the next british prime minister, which many people might regard as extraordinary. but that is the system with which we. ready which we operate. i think that as a to possible want, alida less flamboyance unless chaotic than boris johnson, i think will want a period of stability. now got me favor more cautious. ready counts like ben wallace, the current defense secretary because you know the chaos and uncontrolled bassy that surrounded boris johnson on a day to day basis was very weary for the party once he lost his reputation as an electoral asset. frankly that couldn't. what gate?
12:21 am
wait to get rid of him in the end boys johnson ended, it was a prime minister without a government. and yet it's unprecedented. i think in recent history for a prime minister to resist that level of pressure and resist resigning. and so do you think, what is your gut feeling? do you think force johnson has really accepted that it's either you would never count maurice johnson now. the could be the prospect of a political come back this up, but i think the for now his political future is over. but he has indicated already today that he wants to stay on as a member of parliament. that would give him the opportunity to launch a political come back at some point in the future, but, but not for now. he has to step down in the autumn, he will, he will be replaced. but let's say the consent have to have a bad general election was a next time you would rule. maurice johnson can back and say, no, i, when you an election in 2019, in a very, very big way, you know,
12:22 am
i deserve another crockett, this whether the party would wear it, though, given that most of his covenant deserted him. most of his own appeals deserted him and the appears on the survey evidence that most of the electric deserted him were very, very difficult for paris johnson to do that. it's going to be interesting summer. thank you very much, professor jonathan tongue. appreciate it. my pleasure. in with the news, our lie from london much more still to bring you on the program. deadly legacy of decades of conflict in afghanistan agencies, one land mines will put people at risk for generations to come in hating people are marking a year since the assassination of president. jovan our more use against a backdrop of escalating gang violence and sport will hear from the tennis players become the 1st african women to reach again black grand slam final ah,

12:34 am
justice minister and prosecutor. last year, when they called for him to be investigated in connection with voice is murder. and he has denied any involvement in the killing, trying assassination and assess the supervisor is a very difficult thing in any, in any country it's, it's, it's major. this is uses really bad, but it may be the situation that we have. this is really all of our institutions. but unfortunately, even on the, on the job, the justice system, everything police, everything is just a functional. a parallel investigation in the u. s. has 3 suspects in custody, including a former u. s. government informant, who pleaded not guilty on wednesday and face his life in prison if convicted. the u . s. department of justice wants to seal evidence of past crimes by some of the suspect. many who are also informants, even though i deal in re took over the office of prime minister and enjoys the
12:35 am
support of western powers, haitian civil society groups. question his authority and are watching for a transition that will lead to elections that have been repeatedly delayed for 5 years. haitians are facing and economic crisis that was only made worse by the pandemic. and the war in ukraine. half of the country struggling with food insecurity and rising inflation is making life harder for everyone. like thousands of others in search of a better life someplace else. and one that ever was forced back to haiti after being deported from the united states. marine, we are imprisoned in our own country because the insecurity makes every single person have a single goal, which is to leave this country. the reason why it is uninhabitable, i feel like leaving this country again, because the situation is very complicated. so complicated that more haitians than any time in recent memory or risking everything to escape, believing the situation in their home country will not improve any time soon. they
12:36 am
say, well, i'll just either michael divert as a journalist and authors covered haiti for 25 years, he joined from baltimore in the united states one year on why is so little known about the sas nation of haitian president javel noise. and, and why? as i've been this complete failure to arrest or even identify those behind the killing. well, certainly certainly, i think drove invoices partisans would say it was because this is extremely complex . multinational plot to take his life involved a lot of powerful actors and haiti who are not interested at all in seen just is done and many would include the current prime minister. so does that mean that will never be any justice or accountability? in the case, of course, it's not just about those who carried out the killing of those who were all set behind the financing of it. i think what
12:37 am
a lot of people in haiti would like to see maybe is something similar to what we had after the assassination of a freak, the rear in lebanon, some sort of international body to look into this. i think there's a consensus that the current in its current constitution, the haitian justice system is to a compromised and to. ready susceptible political influence, and i think a lot of people feel that this, the investigation that's going on in the united states. you know, the united states has also, historically had its own interest in 80. so they would, might like to see something that looks a bit more objective to them. i think is it on any one's right on that? well no, i mean it's very accurate to say that the president of haiti was hunted down and murdered in his own home, and the internet community did nothing about it. why? yeah, well, you know, and he had, he has been, you know, i think treated it rather mistreated by the international community for a long time. and i think that's just, this is a continuation of the, i mean, whether it's haitians drowning in the straits of florida were sitting in rand also,
12:38 am
or not them or us in, in mexico. there's this idea somehow that you know, patient lives aren't as important as a american lives, which i think is a really repellent idea that needs to be pushed back against and that drowning because they would rhonda rather risk their lives than to stay in a country where they're struggling to eat and struggling to survive. how is that covenant handling these challenges which seem to tear it seems to get worse with with each passing. yeah. well, i mean, i think you, you know, a lot of people would say that the, the current government is in, you know, is in league with a lot of, with some of the are groups that are, are currently, you know, destroying the capital. i mean, the situation which was already terrible. you know, when troy was killed, this is gotten worse. and now you have the, the southern part of the capital and the northern and eastern parts of the capital . basically, completely taken over by these, by these different boring armed gangs that, that, you know, they, they demonstrate
