tonight at 10:00pm: borisjohnson boris johnson manages to borisjohnson manages to survive as prime minister but he suffers a substantial rebellion among conservative mps in tonight's confidence vote. the vote in favour of having confidence as borisjohnson in leader was 211 votes. the vote against was 148 votes. and therefore i can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence. it means that over 40% of the parliamentary party declared a lack of confidence in their leader, much higher than many had expected. mr johnson's team insisted the result was decisive. a renewal of his

leadership mandate, they said, and it was time to move forward. i think it's a convincing result, a decisive _ forward. i think it's a convincing result, a decisive result, - forward. i think it's a convincing result, a decisive result, and i forward. i think it's a convincing i result, a decisive result, and what it means is that as a government we can move on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters. as the votes were cast at westminster this evening, and after the result, the rebels said that things had now changed fundamentally. i hadn't expected more than a third of the _ i hadn't expected more than a third of the parliamentary party expressing no confidence in the prime _ expressing no confidence in the prime minister, but it is severely damaging — prime minister, but it is severely damaging for him and his reputation. we will_ damaging for him and his reputation. we will have the latest from westminster tonight, from downing street, on what the result means for boris johnson's future. we also street, on what the result means for borisjohnson�*s future. we also have the day's of the main news at ten o'clock. ukraine's president zelensky visits frontline troops in the donbas, as the uk announces it will send long—range missiles to the country. are the world's promises to reduce carbon emissions being kept? we look at the pledges more than six

declared barely an hour ago and the scale of mrjohnson�*s victory, by some 63 votes, was described by downing street as decisive, their word, and it was said by rebels to be a clear sign that mrjohnson�*s days as leader were numbered. under the current rules, mrjohnson can't now face another challenge to his leadership for 12 months. let's take a look at the result. there were 211 conservative mps declaring their confidence in the prime minister while148 declared no confidence in their leader. numberten while148 declared no confidence in their leader. number ten said the result was a renewal of the prime minister's mandate. we will have detail and reaction, minister's mandate. we will have detailand reaction, but minister's mandate. we will have detail and reaction, but first our political editor chris mason brings the story of the vote and the result which many people are seeing at westminster as a substantial blow to the prime minister's authority. after months of awkward questions

for borisjohnson, weeks of mounting speculation, and a day of intense public, sometimes angry argument, the moment, a verdict, the result, with, yes, the potential to remove mrjohnson as prime minister but also shape his future in the job. the vote in favour of having confidence in borisjohnson as leader was 211 votes. and the vote against was 148 votes. and therefore i can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence.— confidence. cheering a mathematical - confidence. cheeringl a mathematical victory confidence. cheering - a mathematical victory for boris johnson but boy those numbers are awkward for him. more than 40% of his mps labelling him a liability the country would be better off without. but he insisted... i the country would be better off without. but he insisted... ithink it's an extremely _ without. but he insisted... ithink it's an extremely good, _ without. but he insisted... ithink it's an extremely good, positive, | it's an extremely good, positive, conclusive, decisive result, which enables us to move on, to unite and to focus on delivery. and that is

figures. they thought it might reach one third of the parliamentary party, around 120. not nearly 150. not more than four out of ten conservative mps concluding they would be better off without boris johnson. that means tonight this will not go away. these moments are always difficult for a party leader. the best they can hope is suppress the number as low as possible. that's why we saw his supporters say a victory by one is a victory. they were managing that expectation. so tonight they can say they did a lot better than that. but the key political question, rather than arithmetic or mathematical question, is where does it leave the prime minister? it leaves him in a situation where the rebels will think they can still dislodge him sooner rather than later. they will carry on making the argument that the party would be better off without him. for now, borisjohnson will take a deep breath. this whole

conversation, though, will simply not go away. conversation, though, will simply rrot go away-— not go away. chris mason at the houses of— not go away. chris mason at the houses of parliament, - not go away. chris mason at the i houses of parliament, thank you. that latest analysis after the vote that came in about one hour ago. apologies, there is quite a bit of noise over there. i hope you get all the message we are delivering here loud and clear. there were a number of reasons why many conservative mps decided to vote against the prime minister tonight. decided to vote against the prime ministertonight. chris decided to vote against the prime minister tonight. chris mentioned some of them earlier. history has shown it can be hard for prime ministers to recover even when they win a confidence vote, as mrjohnson has done. our deputy political editor vicki young looks at boris johnson's leadership and what could lie ahead for him. he won the conservatives their biggest victory in decades. good morning, everybody. my friends, well, we did it! so why, just two and a half years later, have so many of borisjohnson�*s own mps turned on him? in the early days, breaking the brexit deadlock was the priority and a huge

plus point with colleagues. then, an unprecedented pandemic derailed any plans mrjohnson may have had. you must stay at home. some trace his problems back to other choices. sticking by a divisive adviser, dominic cummings, who had alienated conservative mps, clashed with the prime minister's wife and was then accused of breaking covid rules. it's mrjohnson's leadership style that concerns others. i think he did a brilliantjob over brexit, for which the country and the conservative party should always be grateful. but he does not in my view govern in the way that a modern prime minister governs, through the normal processes of the state. it feels a bit more like a medieval monarch governing through a court, and you absolutely cannot govern modern britain in that way. some tory mps complain about a lack of direction, from u—turns over free school meals, to an embarrassing climb—down after mrjohnson tried to change parliamentary rules on standards to protect one of his friends. three, two, one... cheering.

that led to the loss of an ultra—safe conservative seat. but it's the lawbreaking parties in downing street which have done most damage. a police investigation, a fine for the prime minister and another inquiry looming into whether he lied to parliament. polls suggest the scandal has dented his popularity. booing. some even booed his arrival at st paul's cathedral forjubilee celebrations. he does have real political abilities, and he does have, i think, an instinct to be able to position himself where new voters who have not voted for the conservative party before can do that. but he's got these huge flaws, which have always been a problem for him in every office that he's held, and i think those things will continue to cause a problem for him. winning confidence votes doesn't always end well. john major was victorious in 1995. it is time to put up or shut up. but lost the general election two years later.

theresa may won hers but resigned within six months. a core part of the conservative party don't want borisjohnson as their prime minister and that makes it difficult when you're trying to get policy through, win votes in parliament and campaign around the country in these by—elections and in the run—up to any general election. there are many reasons behind this unhappiness with borisjohnson. for some it's the economy — they want tax cuts. others have been sacked by him or overlooked for promotion. others talk about his character, saying he lacks integrity and leadership skills. but most will be making a very simple judgment — is he still a vote winner for the conservatives? borisjohnson was never going to win over all the critics in his party but he hopes the victory tonight has silenced them for now. vicki young, bbc news.

let's remind you of the result of that confidence vote, which was announced just over an hour ago. borisjohnson has won the vote of no confidence, as i told you, by 211-148 confidence, as i told you, by 211—148 votes, a majority of 63. in terms of a percentage, just under 59% of tory mps voted for the prime minister and just over 41% voted against him, declared no confidence in him. let's go live to my colleague vicki young who is in the central lobby of parliament for the latest. vicki?— latest. vicki? downing street said earlier today _ latest. vicki? downing street said earlier today that _ latest. vicki? downing street said earlier today that a _ latest. vicki? downing street said earlier today that a win _ latest. vicki? downing street said earlier today that a win was - latest. vicki? downing street said earlier today that a win was a - latest. vicki? downing street said earlier today that a win was a way j earlier today that a win was a way no matter what the margin of victory was, but i do think this was probably a bit more uncomfortable for the prime minister than he would have hoped. if you think about it, 40% of his own mps don't want him in thejob. let'sjust take the job. let's just take the temperature of the conservative party. i am joined temperature of the conservative party. iamjoined by temperature of the conservative party. i am joined by former minister here. you backed the prime

of long—range missiles to ukraine. the defence secretary ben wallace said the missiles will help ukraine defend itself against russian attacks. it comes as ukrainian officials say their military has repelled seven russian attacks across the donbas region over the past 2a hours, with intense fighting continuing in severodonetsk. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has more details. fighting in the city of severodonetsk has been described as the hottest of the conflict, with relentless russian artillery strikes reducing the area to rubble and ashes. ukraine's president zelensky has called the situation hell. this weekend, sheltered in a building, he made his first visit to troops there, fighting against huge odds, in an effort to boost morale. translation: you are true heroes of our country, ukraine. _ you are heroes of war. because of you we have and will have

our land and our country. ukraine's forces are outnumbered and outgunned. russia's vast arsenal of artillery trying to pummel and break ukrainian resistance. both sides are taking heavy casualties. but for ukraine, more help will soon be on its way. today, britain announced it will be sending this, its most advanced rocket launcher. following the lead of the us, which is supplying ukraine with a similar system. this british army version can fire a dozen rockets in a minute and has a range of up to 50 miles — further than most of russia's artillery. the flow of western weapons has already angered moscow, though president putin is also trying to play down its significance. translation: we believe - that the delivery of rocket systems by the united states and some other countries is related to making up for the losses of combat hardware. there is nothing new about that,

and this actually changes nothing. the question now — will these weapons arrive in time to make a difference? and in such small numbers — the us is sending just four of its rocket launchers to ukraine. the uk, another three. but for ukraine, every little helps. jonathan beale, bbc news. the un's climate change chief says efforts to tackle global warming can help create unity between nations at a time of conflict. patricia espinosa was speaking as negotiators from almost 200 countries have been meeting in bonn six months after the cop26 climate summit in glasgow. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has been looking at whether promises made then are being kept. we've seen more blistering temperatures this year.

it hit 51 celsius in pakistan last month, 49.2 degrees in delhi — the highest temperature ever recorded in the indian capital. drought is fueling food shortages in somalia too. and just look at lake mead, which provides water to 25 million people in the us and mexico. water levels are at their lowest since the 1930s. countries promised to take action to curb emissions at last year's big un climate conference in glasgow... hearing no objections, it is so decided. ..but the world has changed since then. energy and food prices have soared since russia invaded ukraine. and as delegates gather in germany, there is recognition that progress on climate has been slow. i appeal to all of you, especially in these difficult and challenging times, not to lose hope, not to lose focus, but to use our united efforts against climate change as the ultimate act of unity between nations. china is one of 3a countries planning new coal power stations. india is planning to

reopen 100 coal mines. they say these are stopgaps in a time of crisis, but it's easy to see why the us climate envoy is worried. the war in ukraine has given a pass momentarily to some coal usage but i think it would be an enormous mistake for anybody to believe that ukraine is a legitimate excuse for building out massive new infrastructure that is going to be there 20, 30, a0 years from now. if that's the choice, then we're cooked. so we need some good news, and here it is. despite all the conflict and disagreement in the world, nations are still meeting here to discuss how to tackle climate change.

as long as we're still engaging with the issue, we can still make progress. justin rowlatt, bbc news, bonn. let's take a look at some of today's other news. in brief. a public inquiry has started in belfast into the physical and mental abuse of vulnerable adults at a hospital in county antrim. police have watched more than 300,000 hours of cctv footage from muckamore abbey, with 35 people arrested and more than 70 staff suspended. a retired british geologist, seen here on the left, has been jailed for 15 years for attempting to remove artefacts from iraq. 66—year—old jim fitton collected 12 stones and shards of broken pottery during a recent geology and archaeology tour of the country. mr fitton has insisted he had no idea he was breaking iraqi laws. research carried out for the bbc has found the number

of properties available to rent has halved since before the pandemic. the industry body, propertymark, surveyed 4,000 letting agent branches. it claims many landlords have decided to leave the market, resulting in big price rises for tenants. 3,000 workers in firms across the uk have begun a trial working a four—day week for no loss of pay. the aim is to see if productivity can be maintained or even increased while working fewer hours — and what happens to business profitability and to workers�* job satisfaction. thousands of british holidaymakers are still struggling to get home from half—term breaks after the cancellation of hundreds of flights over the weekend. easyjet said it had been forced to cancel a further 37 flights today, and other services from gatwick airport have also been hit. 0ur correspondent tim

muffett has more details. it had been a great holiday, butjacqui and her children were due to fly back from tenerife on saturday. just before they were due to leave, a text message told them their flight was cancelled. no representative at the airport, just two spanish ladies, which were taking a lot of abuse because there was no—one from wizz air to advise why the flight had been cancelled or what we should do. being a mum on my own with the children, it was really frightening. wizz air has apologised to passengers and says it's doing all it can to improve communication. but the family can't fight back until wednesday. i guess you're missing school, as well. yeah, end—of—year exams and we're all missing them. and it's the cost. i'm self employed, so i'm now having to fund accommodation and flights, and i'm not working, i'm cancelling work every day. already, on food, accommodation and flights, i've spent over £1,000. around 500 flights were cancelled over the bank holiday weekend. thousands are believed to be stranded abroad. at bristol airport today,

most flights were operating normally, but on saturday, as he set off to visit a friend in berlin, colin's flight was cancelled and he had to rebook. it's cost me an extra £770 and meant i got into berlin a good nine hours later than originally planned. meant to fly back from berlin again today, yet woke up this morning to find that easyjet had cancelled my flight back. staff shortages are driving the disruption. but airports point out that hiring new staff takes time. if you go back to march the 18th when travel restrictions were lifted, it takes 12 weeks for a staff member to be any use to us in terms of the security vetting procedures, so we are not atjune the 18th yet, so i think that puts into context the challenge ahead of us whilst we on—board as many staff as we can to deliver the summer �*22 schedule from bristol airport. in london, travel by tube has also been difficult, due to a strike over pensions and potentialjob cuts. following days of national celebration it's been a blue monday for many travellers. tim muffett, bbc news.
