will be up to those mps on the committee to see whatjudgment they can come to and what, if any sanctions they can put on. fight! sanctions they can put on. and trained by _ sanctions they can put on. and trained by the _ sanctions they can put on. and trained by the former - sanctions they can put on. and trained by the former socialjustice trained by the former social justice adviser to borisjohnson and thank you forjoining us and what is your reaction to what should be hearing today? i reaction to what should be hearing toda ? ~ reaction to what should be hearing toda ? ,, �* ., , reaction to what should be hearing toda? reaction to what should be hearing toda ? ,, today? i think boris johnson looked a little bit like — today? i think boris johnson looked a little bit like a _ today? i think boris johnson looked a little bit like a cornered _ today? i think boris johnson looked a little bit like a cornered animal. a little bit like a cornered animal at times and clearly, whatever the rights and wrongs and testimonies that were given, what i know about him having worked very closely with them over the years is you will not believe that, if you can convince himself that black is white and white is black and he will feel like a wronged man if you feel the soul experiences at the go through is unfair and experiences at the go through is unfairand i've experiences at the go through is unfair and i've seen a bit of that today particularly with the questioning from jenkins into the

conservative mps on the privileges committee. looking quite prickly and response and i think he is clearly finding this whole experience and comfortable and i think they'll be his tactic and the tactic of his supporters going forward and looking at the specifics of the evidence and the charges against him and i think you try to represent this whole procedure and process is unfair. to be fair, looking a few steps back, there was no smoking gun conclusive evidence that parliament had been misled by the former prime minister. and knowing, weather was knowingly done and i think the key word there is the committee has been using todayis is the committee has been using today is whether he acted recklessly and i think that is where the former prime minister is on tricky ground and there is some questioning from

brenda jenkins where he said, why if you knew you had to give statements to the house of commons of the importance with which we know those statements, white denture consort the opinion. for suburban should get some and authoritative give you the confidence that the statements in the house of commons were true and it's notjust a smoking gun but talking significant is when he says he had assurances from people that he had assurances from people that he was acting within the rules, they didn't come from lawyers, they can come from civil servants, they came from political appointees inside downing street and i don't think that was the impression that the house of commons are given when borisjohnson was making his statements at the time and parties having taken place.— having taken place. interpreted as the wa in having taken place. interpreted as the way in which _ having taken place. interpreted as the way in which boris _ having taken place. interpreted as the way in which boris johnson - having taken place. interpreted as. the way in which boris johnson runs the way in which borisjohnson runs the way in which borisjohnson runs the ship.

staff and the dolch and he said low standards himself and he is now reaping the whirlwind of that culture. ., ~ reaping the whirlwind of that culture. ., ,, , ., , . breaking news coming from the united states in the us federal reserve, thatis states in the us federal reserve, that is the central bank in the united states of america has raised interest rates by 25 points and two us banks this month, the failure of two guest banks and concerns about the global economy and as always, these decisions are made and globally, up north american correspondent is outside the reserved building in washington and are they surprised at the decision? if you look at what was going on wall street, in the past 2a hours,

the federal reserve would raise rates by a quarter of percentage point, the increase since everything began this cycle of interest rates on the bid to bring down prices and inflation for record highs and all of this got thrown into question because of turmoil in the banking sector and questions about how the fed would balance its objectives fighting inflation on the other hand, restoring stability to the sector and contain proceedings of the modest increase in interest rates and the question is, what more will they say in their meeting perhaps any other meeting, with a signal would be more important than anything he said in the past. is the bankin: anything he said in the past. is the banking turmoil _ anything he said in the past. is the banking turmoil really _ anything he said in the past. is the banking turmoil really making - banking turmoil really making investors worry about how fast the federal reserve could go, given the

impact of that stop electing the problem that we've seen is the fact that we had this tightening of conditions and rising interest rates and there's been this adage that you can raise until something breaks and preps in the banking system, you might see this possum the federal reserve. we have not seen that because inflation remains at around 6% and that substantially higher thanit 6% and that substantially higher than it is 2% target.— 696 and that substantially higher than it is 296 target. assume the roblem than it is 296 target. assume the problem you're _ than it is 296 target. assume the problem you're seeing _ than it is 296 target. assume the problem you're seeing in - than it is 296 target. assume the problem you're seeing in the - than it is 296 target. assume the problem you're seeing in the uk| problem you're seeing in the uk right now, what do you do when you're worried about financial stability? were the things people will be asking is the problems in the banking sector and how much would that put pressure on inflation because ben starts to and on difficult circumstances when they are under pressure and that will reduce the economy and to some of thejob for the fed reduce the economy and to some of the job for the fed and reduce the economy and to some of thejob for the fed and pouring over the comments. they also want to know that on the federal reserve, they

did acknowledge turmoils in the banking sector but they did not draw a link to what it is doing to control inflation those problems i think you're going to see a lot of questions about that and this press conference is to to begin shortly. thank you very much of what is happening in the us and what happens in terms of the worlds biggest economy is a huge impact both globally and of course in the uk. during the uk, the prime minister has published details of the uk tax affairs after promising to be open about his finances. the records show he paid more than £1 million in uk tax over the previous three financial years and 4.7 in total and capital gains being taken into account and in the last financial year alone, the prime minister earned more than £1.9 million in income and capital gains. to stay

with his integrity, his political career and all of that on the line give a very defiant and heated performance and it goes something like this. we took the lockdown restrictions very seriously and they were perfectly implemented at all times. i believe that the at the times. i believe that the at the time the events and i believe it when i spoke to parliament and they still believe that the bori5 still believe that the boris johnson, as far as i'm concerned, everyone in downing street did their best and may not of been perfect but we did our best. the second part of the defence when i told parliament that all of these guidelines are been followed, i'd be given reassurances making the committee were not quite so sure whether they believed in those reassurances but it depends on whether you agree with boris johnson's view. it depends on whether you agree with borisjohnson's view. that passionate argument that he made that you thought we were doing the

right thing in name and with that was party time at downing street during covid—19 us got it wrong. what do you think of borisjohnson's standing? iiis what do you think of boris johnson's standin: ? , , ., standing? his standing with the ublic, i standing? his standing with the public. i just — standing? his standing with the public, i just don't _ standing? his standing with the public, ijust don't think, i standing? his standing with the public, i just don't think, my i public, ijust don't think, my senses will make much difference in the substantial majority with thing hanging on a minute, it's pretty clear that there was one very different set of rules for all of us who could not go and visit dying loved ones and cancel marriage is difficult for us and then it seems to be for downing street now think his passion is going to change their view as suspected one change the view as suspected one change the view of those who thought it was a fuss about nothing in the prime minister made the best of a bad job during covid—19. it’s minister made the best of a bad 'ob during covid-19.i during covid-19. it's almost as if there was _ during covid-19. it's almost as if there was no _ during covid-19. it's almost as if there was no evidence _ during covid-19. it's almost as if there was no evidence that i during covid-19. it's almost as if there was no evidence that he i during covid-19. it's almost as if- there was no evidence that he misled parliament and also no conclusive evidence that the deadness he parliament. it's what you think. it wasn't actually based we today. find wasn't actually based we today. and that is why it — wasn't actually based we today. fific that is why it comes wasn't actually based we today. e"ic that is why it comes to this

fundamental point of belief and do you think it is credible the boris johnson and those working around them in downing street really thought they're doing the best? do you think that or not it seems to me that it rests on and i suspect most people in this country have made up their minds long ago and really interesting now is the people who really count on the seven mp5 and they made on what they heard. find they made on what they heard. and those listening to this issue, with they made of it the key thing is taking away all the evidence they been listening to and hearing them they deciding about the consequences of this decision? the they deciding about the consequences of this decision?— of this decision? the big when the 're of this decision? the big when they're deciding _ of this decision? the big when they're deciding is _ of this decision? the big when they're deciding is the - of this decision? the big when they're deciding is the boris i they're deciding is the boris johnson lied to parliament. let's not beat about the bush, it's not about whether he lied it's about thinking over his testimony and looking over the evidence again it

could take several weeks before coming with the verdict and they could ask him to apologise for misleading parliament on the other hand, could be immensely serious and they can actually have them stand for reelection in his seat and it could be that bad on earth where the committee is going to end up, i have no idea. i think would be unwise to speculate and i think they seemed rather sceptical about the reassurances that he had received about guidelines being followed and apart from that, i don't think they gave way too many clues.- gave way too many clues. talking about the committee _ gave way too many clues. talking about the committee itself i gave way too many clues. talking about the committee itself and i gave way too many clues. talking i about the committee itself and what he thought about the whole process and. , ., ., , he thought about the whole process and. , . ., , ., he thought about the whole process and. , ., .,, ., and. yes, that was the one part where there _ and. yes, that was the one part where there was _ and. yes, that was the one part where there was a _ and. yes, that was the one part where there was a hint - and. yes, that was the one part where there was a hint of i and. yes, that was the one part l where there was a hint of menace where there was a hint of menace where he was asked, do you accept that this is not a kangaroo court, that this is not a kangaroo court, that depends on the verdict. thank ou ve that depends on the verdict. thank you very much- _ that depends on the verdict. thank you very much. you've _ that depends on the verdict. thank you very much. you've been i that depends on the verdict. thank you very much. you've been watching bbc news and plenty more to come in just a few minutes. stay with us on the bbc.
