well moist, ah. after days of political turmoil, boris johnson has bound to pressure and is resigning as a leader of the ruling. conservative party, your continuous caretaker, prime minister to a tories elect his successor, which may take several weeks. but they're growing calls for his immediate departure as were a challenge, reports not from london. british politics, that brilliant darwinian system is boris johnson put it, punish his vulnerability. good afternoon, everybody, and even the man once famously described as a greased pickle, it couldn't wriggle out of this one. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. but then the brakes going been not yet gone. forest, the prime minister is to become boris. the caretaker, prime minister. it is clearly not the will of the parliamentary,
3:03 am
conservative party. that should be a new leader of that party. and apple, 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 short on contrition, 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 sooner 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 to far by thursday morning. the number of resignations had passed 50 and counting as an old westman the saying that a week is
3:04 am
a long time in politics. we're currently that unit of measurement 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 forest johnson hanging around for months. instead, 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. 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,
3:05 am
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 to mulch us, time and power will reach helen's now to 0 london when it's been a spectacular fall from grace for mister johnson. early 3 years ago, let the conservatives into the biggest electoral victory in decades. but this, his time at 10 downing street has been marked with scandals and in fighting to know how looks back now at johnston's turbulent time in office, you know, bras. he led his party to a landslide election victory in 2019. but boris johnson was to be undone, both by events in which he can spot and also by his own character flaws, that critic say, made him unfit for high office. still has no social vision. he has, there is no moral leadership, but for him it was always about becoming prime minister,
3:06 am
not about being payments. 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 to calles and the chaos means that he can sort of in, through these things going along elise, all this noise, all this commotion as the person with 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 calles 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,
3:07 am
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 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 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 bullying and
3:08 am
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 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 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
3:09 am
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. well, it's a brand new day in the u. k. and let's have a look at some of the headlines that people awaking up to these are the front pages . major newspapers seem to be very scathing of forests johnson you can see, express their thank you bar a few gave written back. it's freedom quite positive. they're further down to the mail. what the hell have they done and left when guardians, they're saying it's over and further down to more papers the downfall from the i and they the star bit more light hearted there and the metro leave means
3:10 am
leave and you can have a look the left mirror the daily mirror, clinging on for one last party they say, ironically, we're going to bring in a guest to talk a little bit more about this. now our michael walker is a contributing editor at nevada media and independent left leaning media outlets. he joins us from them. the thanks for being on the program. well, what do you make of that? who could be the next conservative party lead to the jockeying for position is already in full swing, isn't it anything credibly open? right, so polling and done by year of which shows the bend, wallace to the current defense secretary in the lead, but that's only on 13 percent. so you can't say some of them 30 percent for that, bridget. we're going to win the election in the end of the 2 rounds. so what will be key to the piece? the title, be the final 2 m p 's. they put the members and then the members get to decide. i think it was very disheartening from my perspective is the people who have already put their names in the ring. what they seem to be running on is we're going to cut taxes. i'm also going to fight the culture was talking about this war on bo
3:11 am
consider using trying to started. and for me, the, the, not the issues which people in britain really care about. right now, we put inflation running at 10 percent. we got people struggling to pay their rent is when to we can have people you know, desperately struggling to eat their houses. and because it's to choose, it's all next prime minister, which is a combination of tori and toy party members. those are not going to be issues that dominate leadership, which is i think fairly worry. and given that we are in a cost of living crisis. well, you mentioned you got the whole there. we're going to take a little bit more time to have a look at that in a little bit more detail yet. there it is. they can see this about the what's called the net favorability of a senior u. k. politicians forest johnston's has fallen to its lowest level today to 53 percent ben wallace emerged as an early front one or 2 replaced on by the 16th the center in favor and 20 percent unfavorable. 65 percent. not really knowing enough
3:12 am
about him to give an opinion about richie soon, next feasibility there that's increased quite a bit at 34 percent, one in 3. people who view him positively compared to 51 percent and with an unfavorable view. so michael walker, what do you make of that going forward? well, let's, i think it's important to know those off favorability writing to the general public and the general public don't get to decide who becomes the next 2 related. so you go, have also done some polling of conservative party members who will be slightly more significant in this, although you do have to me, it will be interesting to see how much do m p 's and how much to members care about . like when the next general election and how much they care about who is going to give them the policies that they feel passionate about. which, as i've already suggested, not necessarily the same issues that the general public care about, which is, you know, will be an interesting one to watch. many people who he blew it because basically on the cost of being crisis came around and he twiddled his toms, essentially said,
3:13 am
sorry, i can't help you anymore. i did a fair amount during cove. it now you've got 10 percent inflation. you're on your own. that obviously didn't last well with the public, but then it turned out that his wife was a don tom, so she will pay taxes due to people for he was a busted flush. the fact that he now had a key role in bringing down bar. it's johnson could potentially more wind in his sales when it comes to the collision election, which is coming up. okay, we'll talk to people about him. but we'll boris johnson, the feeling a sense of betrayal towards his own. m. p. 's. because after all, he did win a huge mandate in the previous election that can't be denied. i want to say, i mean i think he's been very open. this is the theme running throughout his entire resignation speech. there was no remorse, there was no contrition. all he said was that to be on if i wanted to stay prime minister. but the sad thing is my m p 's wouldn't listen favor for me. it was an
3:14 am
eccentric decision. they're going to hard mentality and openly, very, very bitter about. absolutely. i think he feels an enormous sense. the trial he still have in his head that he's the right person to win the next general election . none of the pulse suggest that is the case, but i'm sure that he is speed. i think he's, he's feeling like the unluckiest guy in the world. ok, we have to leave it there, michael walker from the army to thank you for that today. now johnson's departure comes at a critical time for europe and his allies across the atlantic rushes war and ukraine and the cost of living crisis have been challenging. whitten's long standing allies say their relationship with west mr. will remain strong regardless if he succeeds. johnson, well, this was a message from the white house. i'll say this, our alliance with the united kingdom continues to be strong. our special relationship with the people in the country will continue to endure. none of that changes. marcella had hair on al jazeera with the live from the g. 20 foreign

3:18 am
which saw more than 50 members of his government resign following a series of scandals. several, a current and former cabinet ministers being seen as potential successes, a series of votes by conservative m. p 's when eventually narrow the field to count it before a final. it's about why the party membership now rushes foreign minister is about to come face to face with a face just critics of these countries invasion of ukraine at the g 20 gathering in indonesia. this will be the 1st time setting enough rav will be in the same room as foreign ministers in western countries as a meat in barley. jessica washington joins us live now from bother. jessica, what can we expect from this show down then? well, on the 1st day of the g, 20 foreign ministers meeting, we saw this flurry of diplomatic bilateral,
3:19 am
many lateral meetings. and today's really when the official proceedings begin, we have these joint sessions where all of the foreign ministers will be in attendance. and significantly, that means as you just remarks, that some of brushes fears, just b as critic, namely the us secretary of state antony lincoln will be in the same room as his russian counterpart. circ a love role for many of the foreign ministers. it's their 1st time meeting mr. love rob, since the russian invasion of ukraine, the last time actually blinking, met with minister love rock was in january just weeks before the russian invasion of ukraine began. so significantly, yes, there will be the u. s. and it's west and allies that have sought to isolate russia from the world stage. they will be sharing they will be in the same room. they will at least see him. but it is, of course, important to note that the g 20 is a diverse group of countries while you do have the u. s. and it's western allies. you also have countries that have maintained strong relationship with russia
3:20 am
despite the war in ukraine. and so, yes, in one sense minutes, a lateral may be shunned by the us and its allies, but he will of course, be welcomed by other members of the g 20. and that is sort of the difficult dynamic that the host this year has had to bridge indonesia has works to rectify some of those have awkward encounters. we know that they won't be, for example, a group photo at the end of these meetings. so some steps taken in that direction, but the, the ultimate reality is, is that all of these ministers will be in the same room for the special sessions, which we understand will focus on food security and energy security. we also know that the ukranian foreign minister who was invited as a special guest, but will only attend virtually, will also give a special address during those talks on the food secure 30. as for the bilateral talks, we understand that. so get love will continue to meet with his counterparts, including meetings, as we understand with south africa, brazil,
3:21 am
and mexico significantly yesterday he met with his chinese counterpart and today minister one year from china. we'll meet with the astronomy and foreign minister penny wong. that meeting is significant because it's the 1st meeting between a straightly and china on a foreign minister level since 2019. and we understand that minister one will use that meeting to talk about countries with influence over russia and the role that they can take in ending the war. as she mentioned a few days ago when she gave a speech in singapore ok live in the body. jessica washington, thank you. the former minneapolis a police officer convicted last year for the murder of george floyd as in sentence to more than 20 years in prison on separate federal charges that i could show them was found guilty of violating floyd's civil rights during his faithful arrest. in may 2020. he's already serving $22.00 and a half years in the minnesota prison,
