. after days of political turmoil, forest johnson has bow to prussia and his resigning as the leader of the ruling conservative party. he will continue as can take a prime minister until the tories elect his successor, which may take several weeks for their growing cause for his immediate departure as were a challenge, reports not from london, british politics, 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 out 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 but not yet gone. forest, the prime minister is to become boorish. the caretaker prime minister. it is
5:03 am
clearly now the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party. and apple, a new prime minister, and i agree with the grey brady, the chairman of our back bench mpg, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. and the time table will be announced next week. and i love to de appointed a cabinet to serve as i will until a new leader is in place. it was a speech show 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 soon at quit, the pace at which johnson supportive operated was astonishing the chris pincher affair. and what johnson knew about previous sexual misconduct allegations against the m. p. was a scandal too far. by thursday morning, the number of resignations had passed 50 and counting as an old westminster saying
5:04 am
that a week is 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 until replacement is found. they want them 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 a prime minister in the government, as the last few weeks and months are shown. 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
5:05 am
12 months, i think i would be encouraged to stand yes. this past leadership races have shown candidates are often successful because of who they aren't rather than who they are . and if the conservative party have any sense, it will learn the lessons for us. johnson, this tumultuous time in power reach helen's notice era. london. what it's a brand new day in the u. k. and these are the headlines up people that a waking up to some of the front pages of major you newspapers seem to be scathing of forest johnson metro saying there leave means leave. that he express. so supportive. thank you boris. he gave written back it's freedom daily mail also traditionally supportive. what the hell have they done? they ask on the daily telegraph pins long goodbye these u. k. in state of paralysis guardian, left leaning paper, they're saying it's over independent going but still in number 10. meanwhile, the financial times, johnson quit, defiant to the end of our boys,
5:06 am
johnson says there will be no major policy changes into next tory that is chosen. let's take a look at the people who could replace him from a chance that she's not gained popularity. the public face of the government's economic recovery plans post pandemic, but concerns over his wife's tax status hurt his image. while foreign secretary, this trust is likely to be another contender, the previous position is international trade secretary. so her secure, post briggs, it trade deals, and former foreign and health. the secretary jeremy hunter, was johnston's main rival, the last leadership contest. he could have another go. as could sergeant job id and now his resignation is how sacred sean cheese de triggered an avalanche of departures from the government. so replacement as chancellor nadeem, the hallway has also been tipped as a possible future leader. and then there's the defense secretary, ben wallace. he was the favorite to replace johnson in
5:07 am
a huge gulf pole of conservative party members. on thursday. for michael walker is a contributing editor to navarro media and independent left leaning media outlets. he says, the general public one can say in a leadership debate, it's incredibly open, right? the polling and done by year of which shows that ben wallace to the current defense secretary in the late, but that's only on 13 percent. so you can't say some of them 30 percent, they're probably going to leave when the election in the end of the 2 rounds. so what will be key to the m p. 's decide will be the final 2 m p 's, where they put the members. and then the members get to decide, i think, was a 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, and we're also going to fight the culture wars. and they're all talking about this war on woke and using, trying to talk with them. and for me, these are not the issues which people in britain really care about. right now. we
5:08 am
put inflation running at 10 percent. we got people struggling to pay their rent this winter. we can have people desperately struggling to eat their houses. and because of who choose it's all next prime minister, which is a combination of toys, toys, members, those are not going to be issues that dominate this leadership, which is, i think fatty worrying, given that we are in a cost of living prices. and the general public don't get to decide who becomes the next totally to. so you got have also done some polling of conservative party members who will be slightly more difficult in this, although you do have to be, it will be interesting to see how much do m p 's and how much the members care about is likely when the next 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. well, johnston's departure comes at a critical time for europe and its allies across the atlantic rushes war on ukraine and the cost of living crisis have been challenging. britton's longstanding,
5:09 am
i say their relationship with western is to remain strong regardless of who succeeds thompson. 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 indoor. none of that changes the russian foreign minister is about to come face to face to face as critics of his country's invasion of ukraine. at the g 20 gathering in indonesia. this will be the 1st time, so he love rove, will be in the same room as foreign ministers from western countries as they meet in bali. well that's cross live now to rob mcbride in body and rope. i would imagine a fair amount of tension expected. the start of a day, the main day of this g 20 gathering and we are expecting it will be a day of 10 encounters, 10 sessions sessions that had the 2 main sections of this gathering for the 1st
5:10 am
time set to go live off of russia and down to the blank of the us secretary of state in the same room the last time they met, of course, was that very famous and frosty encounter right. at the very start of this year, just ahead of russia invasion of ukraine said, love ralph has we understand just a few minutes ago already arrived at the main venue as he entered the venue that questions thrown by reporters covering his entrance, shouting, when are you going to stop the war, the war really does overshadow this whole event. it really does dictates the tone here. and we don't even know whether there will actually be any cordial greetings in public, at least between lab, ralph and blinker, and then any of the, the west and foreign ministers here who are ranged against lab. ralph, there is even a lot of continuing controversy about lab roles, very presence here as far as the hosting denisia are concerned. i think the main
5:11 am
goal today will be to try to have an event that is consequential, that does produce some results without that being any big bus stop. what we have seen since the start of this war is that any kind of meetings between russian officials and their american or nato counterparts, as often resulted in war counts even online sessions. that as soon as the russian official speaks, that is the queue for other people to walk out to protest. i think the indonesians want to avoid that. so we're reducing the possibility of that by having no full family photo of the 24 minutes to standing there. they have dispensed with the idea of a formal communicate at the end, with a warning from the americans that they really don't want the valve to be using this as a way of giving russia some kind of credence, some kind of and ability about their invasion of ukraine, but in a way, le fob's fairly presence. he does that, especially it's meeting a with wang ye, the a foreign minister of china that has already taken place here on the sidelines are
5:12 am
of this gathering indeed. well, what about china stance nor this? how does that play into this, that china is in a very interesting position here. you know, this is a meeting of the 20, our biggest economies in the world. well, of course china is now number 2. so people have been lining up to try to get a bilateral with wang, he, he is a very influential person here, a very enjoy influential player. the russians have obviously been playing up the fact that they were meeting or with the chinese they are still playing on the fact that the at the chinese and russian leaders held that summit at the very start of this year. so it's more important for the russians that they show the house that said they are, and they do have to a certain degree, the support of china in that place in the world. but a china is looking at, but you have wide a broader picture here, especially in asia pacific. they do regard this as being their back yard in a way. it's an increasingly assertive china here in the, in its claims in the east and south. china sees it is increasingly assertive,
5:13 am
are coming into trying to contact her and becoming an ad was adversary if you like, with many of its neighbors here and through them through the, with the united states. and also now the nato alliance coming out and declaring that her a china does pose a strategic threat in the future. so there is an awful lot of play here for china. and in fact, we're looking at had one of the most of the important sessions and consequential sessions may well be to morrow, saturday, with a very important bilateral between the americans and the chinese. basically, to map out how they are increasingly adversarial relationship made look in the years to come and in fact, robert bride, thanks for that. we're just going to go to see some live pictures of that meeting. now as we speak, and those who say us in foreign minister about to will come to face to face with his face. his critics. since the rushes invasion of ukraine at that g 20 gathering
5:14 am
in indonesia robot ride was saying that it could be quite a lot of tension involved with some countries complaining that 2nd level maybe shouldn't be there at all. and not wanting him to use it as some kinds of publicity, but we will keep up to date with that with those pictures. and with that meeting, as we get it here on, i'll just moving on in the us, the former minneapolis police officer convicted last year for the murder of george floyd has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison on separate federal charges show them that 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, for murder shaven was filmed. kneeling on george floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes. so it's death lead to protests in the u. s. and around the world against
5:15 am
police brutality and racism from washington dc. hydro. jo castro explains him now. so the 2 sentences concurrently. shelven was already sentence about a year ago in that state murder case in which a jury found him guilty of 2nd and 3rd degree murderers in the killing of george floyd. so this federal sentence of just over 20 years is for the civil rights violations associated with that killing, which are, are federal crimes. and show ven actually pleaded guilty to the set of charges back in december, which was his 1st time publicly taking responsibility for the actions that lead to george voids death. that pre deal resulted in today's sentencing of just over 20 years and it avoided the potential for a 2nd trial and a possible maximum sentence of life in prison. shelven did not offer an apology, though he was given the opportunity to during today's sentencing,
5:16 am
he did say that he wished george floyd's children well. but again, this families still left with that hearing question of why this happened. and george floyd's brother had asked the judge to sentence shelven to the maximum sentence, saying that george floyd's family would be serving a life sentence of a lifetime without george floyd. and again, with a lifetime of asking that still haunting question of why did this have to happen? still, the head hair on al jazeera lawlessness and soaring inflation. patients went their anger year, often presidents, assassination treated a crisis. ah, the journey has begun. the 3 full world camp is on its way to catherine book. your travel package today. hello,

5:21 am
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 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 under performing 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 dominant cummings described the prime ministers leadership as erratic in decisive distracted. nobody could find a way around the problem of the problem is that just like
