which was set apparently to be home made. or johnson says the intends to stay on a few k prime minister despite resigning as leader of the ruling conservative party . he says that he'll continue it a can't take a capacity until party members elect a successor, but cause a growing for his immediate departure stages. now sense for a leadership race that could take weeks will let fair cross that breaking news out of japan here on i'll just here will bring you any details as to when we get them. in the meantime, it's fine for this. today's edition of inside story we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the wound. semi matter, i'm glad you called hand out you sierra quibbling. you the news and current affairs that mattie houses in are controversial. undefined boris johnson has resigned. the british prime minister

clung to pell, but failed to retain his party support. who will replace him? and what sort of leadership does the u. k. need at this time? this is, it's our sort. ah, hello mark is that program on him? or on con, boris johnson's out, the british prime minister, held on for as long as he could. but a series of scandals followed by mutiny. and then a domino of resignation left him with no other choice than to step down from what he calls the best job in the world. for great public services. and to that new leda, i say whether he or she may be, i say, i will give you as much support as i can. and to you, the british public. i know that there will be many people who are relieved.

and perhaps quite if you will also be disappointed, and i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. but then the brakes will begin in the moment, but 1st, a jonah hole looks back at boris johnson's time. in office did 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 office, or johnson has no say salvation. he has, there is no moral leadership, but for him it was always about becoming prime minister, not about being payments. 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 considered in through these things going along elise, all this noise, all this commotion as the person with great idea 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 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, dominant cummings, described the prime minister's leadership as erratic in decisive distracted. nobody could find a way around the problem of the progress that just like a shopping trolley smashing from one side to the other. the shopping trolley metal 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 bullington . 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 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 indifferent. this is really the 1st time in his life where he's ever, she'd been held to account for anything. he's always been those 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 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 parliament treat 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. jona, how al jazeera, the that's bringing, i guess, from london, joe and adler. he's a political commentator and a former media adviser for the conservative party from east poland, tim bailey, professor of politics, a queen, mary university of london, and also in london. matthew goodwin, he's a professor of politics at the university of kent, a warm welcome to all, let's begin in london with joe butler. is this the end of one of the most chaotic premier ships of recent history? well approaching that question. absolutely, technically, it isn't quite the end because we still don't know sitting here this afternoon, are quite exactly what mr. johnston's plans are for the next 2 or 3 months. we know he intends to stay on effectively and i can take

a role in his own position as p. m. but we don't really know where the conservative party is going to move against him and try to bring about quicker demise. a quick exit from down the street, but as to your point about a chaotic period, i think this has been an exceptionally chaotic period. unfortunately, having followed the food into the conservative party for very many years now, it does have a guy that has been prone to these periods of self reflection and, and certainly just to one side and then having well, the fractious leadership election processes. but so i have to say, having really observed very many of them said the last, that is this, this one is right out, the air is being one of the most remarkable, and we haven't even gotten when you close that yet. timbo in east 12 things seem to be happening simultaneously. here one is boris johnson, buying himself some time by taking on this idea that he could be the caretaker

promised. or perhaps even hoping that he might be able to come up with a solution. and let's face it, he's done things like this before where he's come out of sticky situations and come out on top. but there are people within his own party that are gunning for his blood to day. which one do you think will prevail? letting go or something's got any chance, so i'm staying home after some kind of kind of 2nd period. i think it's probably more like, you know, he'll be able to stay as a cancer. i think though it's understandable. so something policy wanting to go now . i think the events of the last 40 hours, of course, an awful lot. the problem for them is exactly how they will be able to do that. he will have to be persuaded to go immediately, and if he's not persuaded to resign immediately himself, it's very difficult to see exactly how they would be able to remove it. they would

have to presumably and that some kind of injury made the queen could then appointed prime minister that the queen into politics. i'm not sure that something the conservative party wants to do. so. i think it forest johnson wants to be, can take a prime minister for the next 2 or 3 months, then he's very likely to be able to fulfill how well it is. another matter, it doesn't seem to be a natural fit or someone you just want to as well look after the shot while you're getting on with other stuff. matthew goodwin also in london, nearly 50 more than 50 m. p. 's resign. people are surprised in britain resigning from positions that actually never even heard of. this is like unprecedented for storms and didn't seem to get the message within the 1st 24 hours of all of this. when richie, 2nd of it resigned, he must have got the message now. but why is he then trying to stay in power even if i can take a government elysa and m,

he said to me this morning. i think one of the things that surprised everybody over the last 40 hours is the extent to which one so. so the chief opened up in bars, johnson's alma, everybody flooded in to try and take advantage of it. and such was the sentiment within the conservative party, the sort of the solution and the despair. both johnson's leadership also in their performance. ready in the opinion, polls recent action to face lack policy, coherence, a trickle became a flaw than that flood became overwhelming. so johnson, you know, even in his resignation, speech today clearly fails. he is the star key, as alluded to what he calls the instinct, he feels that the game is being being raked against him. and that many of the emp, he's really on that positions to his election. victor in 2019. that's his particular view of the, of the current situation. so i think actually, you know,

his desire to stays, caretaker until we have a new prime minister. my instinct actually is that is genuine. i think johnson does cancer can a great deal about the. ready war and ukraine, i think he cares a great deal about finishing some of the things he's, he's started, but this is the end. i mean, this is the end of his premiership, and it's been a very turbulent one. it's been a consequential one. it's been a divisive one, been an incompetent one, but it's also being really one that will go down in the history books is having a profound impact on the country and it's future to another. so you nodding along an agreement that what matthew goodwin was saying, yes, it may well be the case that boris johnson does have certain issues that he does care about the war and ukraine was mentioned. but it was a chaotic premiership. he did a get into many political scraps. many times, many of those probably were handled badly. he seemed to

a person the yes may have cared about certain issues, but he was much more about the infighting in the scrapping and the political survival that went along with being prime minister rather than actually leading a country. that's what a lot of people have been saying to me today. germany simply without argument when i think when full is done to the back foot, as he said frequently has been. and often because of his own inability to feel like confront some of the criticisms in the 1st instance and, and be straight forward with the rest of his party with the general public. i think yes, he has ended up looking like somebody who's been desperate to this and preserve his place simply in terms of wanting to exercise political power. and that's not really a good look. i slightly take issue with some of the commentary at the start of this piece when your reporter was summing up. here is his personality. i mean, yes, clearly he's a man who is not in any way,

a straightforward personality for politics, but that's a lot to do. with why he has been very popular and, and it goes to the heart of his career. but i think he was supposed to be the non politicians politician. now, to certain extent, if you let somebody like that, you don't expect them to be a brilliant executive if you like, what seems to have gone wrong. and i'm for the, let me, i'm not was a was, if you like quite, it tends to support a bar stools and i thought he was absolutely essential to getting back sit down. but i do have some concerns about his leadership. however, i was reassured by people who were close to him when he was the mayor of london. but as long as he had the right team around him, the fact that he may be a bit of a dealer and i would have been overcome by the fact that he had this sort of strong supportive structure around. and now that seems to just not have been there right from the start of his spirit number 10. and so far as it was, we saw, you know, really early on. and his leadership,

very senior advisors leading number 10 and not it's not helped him, timbo, to another use the word curriculum. there. some would say entitlement might be way better word to describe barbara johnson. what are your thoughts? well, there's no doubt that he had a lot of people, and he won the 2019 election precisely because the appeal to the right people the right time, it has to be se. if you actually look at ours, johnson's polling he was never that popular right across the country, but he was popular massett among the actual coalition. he managed to build in 2019 particular or from the mainland that often voted labor for that switch to the conservatives. i think the problem for him, of course, came when those voters began to tire off a party gauge, i think. but also of course, he like the government as a whole is taken

a big economy. we shouldn't get so fixated on ours johnson to think that the problems of the conservative party or indeed his problems all to do with any fools in his personality. they're also very. busy difficult situation, the government is facing when it comes to inflation and the data possible recession . so yes, force johnson, the charismatic politician? no more is johnson didn't always appeal to absolutely everybody in this country. he appealed to the people that the conservative party needed him to appeal to back in 2019. but once he's reputation among bear began to fade, i think it was almost inevitable. release his policy, which was always a challenge about him as you suggested, turn on him. i look for alternative matthew, good when it's almost impossible. and to mention that there he does have a force of personality is very strong personality. it's almost impossible to do

both from his role as the leader of the conservative party and prime minister. his personality almost the reason then for is doubtful. yeah, i mean for some reason really only has himself to blame for his downfall. he made a number of unforced errors during his premiership. he surrounded himself with. i think people didn't bring out the best in his government. in his administration, he made a number of areas during the pandemic. he never really defined key policy planks like leveling off the country. the file to take advantage of is the comic strategy was confused that was from the contradictory. and he fell out with many influential people within his own party. and i think it's clear to everybody today that he really was unsuited for

high office. but there is an open question here going forward, which is what about the answer to which is which other conservative can actually hold together. the alliance of boats is the force johnson mobilized in 2019. now it might be the case that somebody is going to emerge. you can do that. but it might also be the case that actually only somebody with the kind of prisoner the johnson had. or for him, nigel for arch was able to reach into those cycle. right. or industrial working class eats that. i mentioned. and we don't really know. and if a conservative party can hold the lines together, it's very difficult if not impossible, to see how the conservatives when the next election, which is less than 2 years away. actually, that's a question that was about the us all 3 of you. so thank you for bringing up a let me start with you matthew goodman. we'll do. we'll start with you as you

bought the question up. it's not a failure of boris johnson ism, this is simply a failure of boris johnson. so right or stone, some was never an ism, i mean if you compare johnson to tony blair or margaret fletcher or some of the other great transformative prime ministers in britain history, john johnson had no coherent agenda. he had no serious thing because around him he had no intellectual framework for what is called the project project was essentially broached johnson the man and a few policies attached to him. and that really explains how quickly it came crashing down and why it came crushing down, you know, there was no coherent, long term plan in place. even in the last hours of the crisis with lodging around trying to find tax cuts and policies that he could be full. and so that's really how it, how it all came down. and i think now you're going to have to awesome. so great,

serious question, which is, what kind of policy do they want to be in the midst of the most serious cost of living crisis is country space for 50 years. and that question is a really difficult one to answer 10 belle the same question to you. is this a failure of boris johnson? and was there indeed even a burst johnson is no, i think that's absolutely right about that. i mean, there was never a kind of coherence to force johnson's ideology. i mean, i think he's a box and a conservative in this entity. wanted low taxes. he wanted a school state and he won't say it's a case of expanding under control. he's problem, of course was the pandemic and indeed what consented to promise in actually in 2019 didn't really allow for that and then going forward. i think that's absolutely right. concept is a real issue here because what it will take to win over the. busy conservative

party in parliament and you can start to party members may not be well, voters as a whole. you know, as far as part of that electron coalition that we've been talking about favor, it's all very well to talk about tax cuts. most people favorite tax loan economies might already know when, when you're facing inflation respite. but of course, once people start talking as a, for example, one of the storage and we are any source and we're running out of time. and i do want to get to everybody and i have a couple of questions very quickly. a book style conservative as well to build you use to describe or something. do you agree with? well, to the extent that being a conservative doesn't in itself in for a specific ideal, it g. i mean, both the 2 main parties in britain boasted by our particular electoral system of big coalitions. there are conservatives who believe in a small state. i'm cutting taxes, there are those who want to, you know,

spend quite a lot of money on, particularly with the leveling up the agenda. and that's just looking at the financial agenda. i mean, i think that he successfully sat somewhere in the middle of one of those things. and that's one of his, the reasons for his earlier successful is that people couldn't quite pin him down. they didn't really know. was he a libertarian? was the a liberal, was your social conservative. right. and i mean he and he's raw, that kind of wandered around between all of those polarities. and i think that that goes to the heart of why we haven't had a coherent and consistent a policy agenda. politics has often been described as sports for unfit people. ah, which was always maybe lopper. let's take a sports man for her. i'll begin with you joe. if you're a blessing, woman, who would you be for your one? he'll know as the next leader, the concern to put a note in the holly. i think that often when you look at conservative leadership elections that not, not the most obvious candidate,

somebody is, are able to pull these different factions together. is the person that emerges. i, i think that he has, it has the benefit of having been in favor, breaks it, but he has a very, can see it personality kind of goes now. he holds a major one of the most major offices after the pharmacy. he has the most important job in governments of interest and see how he despatches that so the next few weeks . i mean there will be very many runners. right. so it's quite so early to make that call. not because early 10 minutes you anyway. i think it partly depends on you guys that i think it pays call unite to stop news trucks going through. and she has a really good chance because she is quite popular among the membership. i would also get a job. it is done. most of the jobs actually in government

and just printed off a pair of hands or she said it was one spoken to recover that or what about, you know, if you i think and i'm going to watch closely the next few days to see what ideas and thoughts they come out with, i see strengths and weaknesses with all of them. i mean, if you take, for example, where she's saying that, you know, a lot of conservative activists would argue, you know, why should they might lead us some of the designs that over the biggest. and since $950.00 sided jabbing people might say, well, you know, they don't, right, is what they would say is, is this loyalty? you look at the themes, a hallway, i think conservative activists again is tim says when it goes to the membership, they might know like, well to funding on the prime minister who does remain quite popular among the grass roots. and i think it's, i think, i'm not exactly sure who is going to emerge, but i think the what question, which is the,

what is the type of host proxy conservative, isn't this going to emerge? you know, what's the gross strategy? what's the productivity strategy? what's the, what's, what they're going to do in inflation, what they going to do on the, in trade agreements for the rest of the world. you know, these are massive issues and i can't think of a prime minister made with the exception of all right. joe, in 79 who had such a daunting injury coming into power. i mean these are huge issues, all of them. so whoever gets the job of it is in some respects of poison charles, a poison charlies that somebody has to take on at some point. i want to thank all our guests, joanne nad lance, him bell and matthew goodwin. and i want to thank you all for watching. now you can see the program again any time by visiting our website out zera dot com and for further discussion, go to will facebook page at facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. and you can also join the conversation on twitter or handle is at asia inside story from me. m ron khan. and the whole team here. and uh

huh. bye for now. a new voice is heating up the airway. lot of chinese listeners with, kimberly here, but i really think in their own country shifting paleface, the rise of citizen journalism has changed everything. how do you happen? it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative, australian point to the pole with those images front of mine is a water very much came forth out in the media as well as on the battlefield. they're listening post. dissect the media on al jazeera, all coveted, beyond well taken without hesitation, fought and died for power defines our, well, we live here, we make the rule,

not them. they find an enemy and then they try and scare the people with people empower, investigate, closed it, and questions they use them to be used of our around the globe on out there with

a whole generations. this indigenous community has lived off of what the rain forest provides, but when they discovered that their territory was being invaded by gold mining projects all along their river, community brought a lawsuit against a po to us government. you've won, you want the unprecedented ruling, apply just the state to consult communities over oil and mining projects that impact their land and to seek their consent. the tiny cine annoy community has won a huge battle, but it may not necessarily have the last word. since the court ruling does leave room for exceptions in the name of overriding national interests, ah.
