this is bbc news. i'm samantha simmonds with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. borisjohnson survives as britain's prime minister, but over 40% of his own mps oppose him in a confidence vote. the opposition urge him to stand down, but he remains defiant. i think it's a convincing 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. the british public are fed up — fed up with a prime minister who promises big, but never delivers. mexico's president boycotts the summit of the americas after the us excludes cuba, venezuela and nicaragua

for being undemocratic. moscow is accused of deliberately sparking a globalfood crisis through its war in ukraine. russia's un envoy storms out of the security council in protest. and the man taking drastic action to save ancient plane trees near the eiffel tower in france. hello and welcome. borisjohnson has survived a vote of confidence in his leadership of the conservative party, although more than 40% of tory mps voted against him. he described the result as "decisive" and his supporters have urged their colleagues to allow the government to push ahead with the running of the country. but one of mrjohnson�*s critics said it was a "very bad result" and he would be surprised if he was still in downing street by the end of the autumn.

here is the story of the vote and the results. after months of awkward question for borisjohnson, weeks of mounting speculation and a day of intense public, sometimes angry, arguments, 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... gasping ..and, therefore, i can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence. cheering a mathematical victory for borisjohnson, 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 think 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 exactly what we're going to do. westminster is now digesting the result. those wanting mrjohnson out beaten tonight but insisting they're not defeated. i think, frankly, it's very bad indeed. i was expecting that we might make three figures. i hadn't expected a third — more than a third of the parliamentary party expressing no confidence in the prime minister. that is severely damaging for him and his reputation. for the opposition parties today, a chance to stand back and watch their opponents in a mess. this evening, the conservative party had a decision to make — to show some backbone or to back borisjohnson. the british public are fed up — fed up with a prime minister who promises big, but never delivers. the day began with an

sir graham brady announcing that the moment some conservative mps longed for and others desperately hoped to avoid had come. the threshold of 15% of the parliamentary party seeking a vote of confidence in the prime minister has been passed. therefore, a vote of confidence will take place within the rules of the 1922 committee. within moments, the public argument began, cabinet ministers offering their best spin on things. do you expect that the bottom line of this vote of confidence is bad news for any leader? i think that i've already said to some other broadcasters — it's the privilege of any member of parliament to choose to request a new leader. i don't think that's the right choice but i'm not going to condemn people. how can the prime minister possibly recover from this? by winning. and a one—vote win is enough. two cabinet ministers turning out together, what does that say? it suggests to me that you're worried. i would say it suggests unity

and strength, actually. we're both in the same position of supporting the prime minister and think it's the right thing for our country and our party to draw a line under this tonight and move forward and get back to focusing on the core issues that effect all of our constituents. yes, i echo what brandon'sjust said. i really urge my conservative colleagues in parliament to unite today. supporters in the foreground, critics wanting to be heard too, as the prime minister's anti—corruption champion decided to resign. leadership and integrity are absolutely central to the ministerial code, they are baked into it, they run through it like a stick of rock, and what i'm afraid is that means he's broken the ministerial code and that means as a result, it's a resignation matterfor any minister and it also has to be a resignation matter for me as well. and there was another junior resignation later. john lamont stood down as a ministerial aid to the foreign secretary. enter next a potential successor as prime minister. jeremy hunt took on borisjohnson last time and lost. today, he tweeted:

and if you think that sounds blunt, listen to this response to it from the culture secretary. i'm incredibly disappointed thatjeremy hunt, who's said throughout, "i'm not going to challenge the prime minister "while there's a war in ukraine," has come out and challenged the prime minister on the day russia sends rockets into kyiv. a party rowing in public, a result some distance from definitive. the questions about boris johnson's future won't go away. chris mason, bbc news at westminster. so, where does that leave the prime minister? history has shown that it can be hard for prime ministers to recover, even when they do win a confidence vote. our deputy political editor vicki young looks at what could lie ahead. he won the conservatives their biggest victory in decades. good morning, everybody. my friends, well, we did it! so why, just 2.5 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'd 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 mediaeval 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 climbdown 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. 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've 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 has held, and i think those things will continue to cause

a problem for him. when 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 if 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 judgement — 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, westminster.

russia's un ambassador has walked out of a security council meeting after the president of the european council, charles michel, blamed the russian invasion of ukraine for causing a globalfood crisis. mr michel told the meeting in new york that russia was using food supplies as a stealth missile against the developing world, forcing people into poverty. the dramatic consequences of russia's war are spilling over across the globe and this is driving up food prices, pushing people into poverty and destabilising entire regions. and russia is solely responsible for the food crisis, russia alone. despite the kremlin's campaign of lies and disinformation. and it is russian tanks, russian bombs and mines that are preventing ukraine from planting and harvesting. the kremlin is also targeting grain storages and stealing

grain in ukraine while shifting the blame on others. this is cowardly, this is propaganda, pure and simple propaganda. the russian envoy, vassily nebenzia, has accused mr michel of spreading lies. it comes as ukrainian officials say their military has repelled seven russian attacks across the donbas region over the past 24 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 — an effort to boost morale.

cycle routes, a ticket office, toilets, souvenir shops and food stalls. but when parisians found out that it would mean chopping down 42 trees and threatened the roots of a plane tree planted by napoleon in 1814, they launched a petition. it was signed by more than 140,000 people, but thomas brail, who founded the national group for the surveillance of trees, decided to take the protest one step further. he is now camped up a 208—year—old plane tree, near the eiffel tower. initially, the authorities tried to bargain with the protesters by offering to chop down fewer trees or decide the fate of each tree individually. but brail argued that they provide shelter for birds, bats and insects and should be protected at all costs. on saturday, he went on hunger strike to drive home his objection to the government's plans and it worked. the plan has been scrapped but brail is not budging until he has an ironclad guarantee that the trees will be protected. wendy urquhart, bbc news.
