in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. british prime minister barak johnston announces his resignation, but will remain in power until his party elects a successor. ah, hello darn jordan. this is al jazeera alive from della also coming up at g. 20 talks in indonesia. russia's foreign minister comes face to face with western diplomats for the 1st time since invasion of ukraine. the former police officer who was convicted of murdering george floyd a sentence to more than 20 years in jail, violating his victim civil rights and anger on the streets of haiti, or testers de mont justice for president juvenile maurice. on the one year anniversary of his assassination, ah, forest johnson has resigned as leader of the you case ruling conservative party
6:02 am
setting the stage for a leadership race that could take weeks. you'll continue as caretaker, prime minister until party members elect his successor, but calls on growing for his immediate departure, where we challenge reports from london, british politics that brilliant darwinian system as 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 as of this one. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. them the banks going been not yet gone. forest, the prime minister is to become boorish. the caretaker prime minister. it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party in the apple, a new prime minister. and i agree with the grand brady, the chairman of our back bench, nps,
6:03 am
that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. and the time table will be announced next week. and i looked today 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 sooner 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 western and the saying 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
6:04 am
important. they don't want forrest johnson hanging around for months until a replacement is found. they won't be 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 is a field marshals baton. having seen the performance of our cabinets over the last 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 to mulch us, time in power,
6:05 am
reach helen's now to 0 london. well, for now, bar, as johnson says, there'll be no major policy changes until the parties next leader is chosen. so let's take a look at some of the potential candidates to replace the prime minister of former chancellor rich sooner gained popularity of the public face of the government's economic recovery plans post pandemic. but concerns of his wife tax status of hurt his public image. foreign sexual is trust is likely to be another contender. her previous position as international trade secretary. so her secure post briggs trade deals form a foreign and health equity. jeremy hunt was johnson's main rival. in the last leadership contest, you could have another go with the party's top job as could such a job in his resignation as hell. secretary on tuesday. trigger than an avalanche of departures from a government will soon as replacement as chancellor. not even a highway has also been tipped as a future leader. and then there's the defense secretary, ben wallace. that was the favorite to replace johnson in a. you got
6:06 am
a poll of conservative party members on thursday. but johnson departure comes at a critical time for europe and its allies across the atlantic rushes war and ukraine and the cost of living crisis have been challenging. britain, long standing allies say their relationship with westminster will remain strong regardless of who succeed johnson. this is the 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 with plans as host of ours 0 as the bottom line. he says that to those within the white house bars, johnson drew paralleled with the former us president donald trump. i think the white house is looking at this in a mixed way. you know, obviously, boris johnson is a huge global personality. he's someone who was allied with us. it national security issues on transit classic issues,
6:07 am
the strength and power nato. what to do in ukraine, but he was combustible, and every time i think president biden looked at me, saw a british version of president trump, and i think that was an uncomfortable relationship. the question now is, will great britain bring forward a prime minister? who is, you know, some somewhat, a land version of leadership, you know, is bland, is going to do it. i think the u. s. u k relationship is always special. always post, regardless of who's in that leadership role. but i think that the white house may be looking to reset with somebody who's a little bit less unpredictable. the agreement, the good friday agreement is not, is fragile. la, bleeding out of concern. i think that there was a concern that boris johnson was dropping the ball when it came to a lot of dimensions of the consequences of requisite and the deals that were made around that. i think the united states is one 0 one to find someone who is, who has greater depth in dealing with the different dimensions of that because it could become
6:08 am
a huge national security issue for great britain for europe and for us concerns obviously. so i think that, that there is a hopefulness that there'll be a greater attentiveness and continuity. then boris johnson was, was performing russia foreign minister has come face to face with some of moscow's fear, says critic, the g. 20 gathering in indonesia. if so, the lapse of 1st personal encounter with foreign ministers from western countries since russia invited ukraine lover of hon planned to meet some of his counterparts on the sidelines of the summit. but many of them refused, including us sector of state and lincoln. well, jessica washington joins us live from bali. jessica says so again, lapse of its presence is likely to cause some tensions there. so how is the show down like it's play out and do we think? well, that's exactly right down and we were there just a short while ago with the foreign ministers arrived. pretty standard procedure when i walk in, they shake hands with the engine, asian foreign minister, reco maturity,
6:09 am
and then they continue into the conference room. but when the russian foreign minister arrived ok, love rock. there was a sudden change in the atmosphere of the room and some journalist shouted out at him. when will you and the war? and that sort of really signifies that throughout all these g 20 events, the war and ukraine really is the salient issue. and the issue that can't be avoided. the difficulty is of course, as you mentioned, that there are different perspectives on these issues. and the difficulty for indonesia at the whole country is how to grapple with those different perspectives . of course, we have the us and its allies that have taken a hard line against russia and have had pushed the sanctions and push for other countries towards adopt those. but then we also have countries that have long standing positive relationship with russia. if the challenge for indonesia, the g, 20 president, hoping to secure a productive and harmonious meeting is how to actually see that through in the face of these geopolitical attention. a short while ago we heard from the intonation, foreign minister who addressed the crab delegates,
6:10 am
including the ministers. speaking about the importance of multilateralism and the importance of global solutions for global challenges remains to be seen, whether the ministers in the face of all these differences will be able to achieve that. and yesterday love rob met with a chinese foreign minister jessica. so what spacings take on this? well, it is important to acknowledge beijing's take, of course, because it is different to the take that we see from western countries in particular the us. and it does point to the fact that while western countries and the us have have pushed for russia's diplomatic isolation, it's not, it's not the same approach that we see beijing, or indeed other countries taking as g 20 foreign ministers at meet during the course of this week following the meeting between a wong, he and 2nd lover of the chinese foreign ministry. put out a statement, noting that china upholds its objective and fair position and is focused on promoting peace and efforts conducive to a peaceful resolution. according to
6:11 am
a statement from the russian foreign ministry, both ministers also affirmed their commitment to opposing unilateral sanctions. so gay, love wrong is not just meeting with the chinese foreign minister, but all the counterparts as well from south africa, mexico, and a scheduled meeting with the indonesian foreign minister as well. so really sort of different positions, different approaches that different countries take. while we know that the u. s. has outweighed said that they will not pursue any sort of meeting. all the countries are still happy to engage in that sort of dialogue. and that's the real point of tension for the g 20. because there are all these different approaches. how does indonesia as d, my president? mary, those different approaches and come up with any solutions to these global problems, including the important issues of food and energy security. all right, jessica washington life up there from bali. jessica, thank you. now, 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

6:13 am
sentences concurrently. shelven was already sentenced about a year ago in that state murder case in which a jury found him guilty of 2nd and 3rd agree murders 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 shelven actually pleaded guilty to the set of charges back in december, which was his 1st time publicly taking responsibility for the actions that led to george floyd's death that plead deal resulted in today's sentencing of just over 20 years. and it avoided the potential for a 2nd trial and a possible maximums that a sentence of life in prison is shelven did not offer an apology, though he was given the opportunity to during today's sentencing, he did say that he wished george floyd's children well. but again,
6:14 am
this family is still left with that searing question of why this happened. and george floyd's brother had asked the judge to a sentence, showed into 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? let's also to come here now does air including pacing together a prehistoric puzzle san to summit with one of the largest dinosaurs in argentina, mormonism. ah ah. hello. welcome. saw the cat international forecast lot going on across north america at the moment. we have got some lively showers, longest spells of rain, some big and sundry down poles with some large how just around, central canada,
