hello, i'm nancy kacungira. you're watching the context on bbc news. from making headlines to writing bylines, former prime minister borisjohnson has released his first publication as a newspaper columnist one day after a parliament report said he deliberately misled the house. less than a week after resigning from parliament and just over 2a hours since the release of the damning report which found he had misled mps over partygate borisjohnson has a newjob. as a new columnist for the daily mail. so back to his journalistic roots.

the problem is, mrjohnson has been accused of committing a "clear breach" of the ministerial code, again, by only informing the appointments watchdog about his newjob half an hour before the announcement. well, the daily mail has already released his first column, but the topic is not what you might expect it to be. titled: "the wonder drug i hoped would stop my 11.30pm fridge raids for cheddar and chorizo didn't work for me. but i still believe it could change the lives of millions" for more on they fall out from yesterday's report i spoke to oui’ our political correspondent helen katz. it our political correspondent helen katz. u, our political correspondent helen katz. a, ., our political correspondent helen katz. ., ., , , our political correspondent helen katz. ., ,~ ., ., katz. it came to a pretty clear and re katz. it came to a pretty clear and pretty extraordinary _ katz. it came to a pretty clear and pretty extraordinary conclusion i katz. it came to a pretty clear and. pretty extraordinary conclusion that a he wasn't content. actually had

gone on to commit for the contempt sense. they said they would have recommended that he was suspended from the comments for 90 days if he hadn't already quit as an mp. to give you an idea of the severity of that, that would've been the second longest suspension handed out to any mp for many, many decades. it was a really big moment. you're talking about monday, another mama coming there, interesting to see quite how big that moment is going to be. what happens on monday is that this report will go be all mps in the house of commons to debate. that's because the committee was told to carry out the inquiry by the house of commons and now that report has to go back to the house of commons for mps to decide whether or not to approve it. we don't yet know whether it will go as far as a vote, it will depend, this very strange procedure with a speaker will ask if it's approved and if nobody shows no it will be passed. in some just know there is a vote

and the mps go and vote for or against. it had been thought that some of mrjohnson's supporters would vote against it but today we're hearing that sources close to borisjohnson is saying that that's not what he wants, the report has no practical effect and he doesn't want his supporters to vote against it was also thought that opposition mps could try to change what was being debated on monday to try and tough it out the punishment, the punishment is likely to get. at that moment is parliament passed the parliament is in xmp. nothing has begun to do that either. at the moment were unsure whether they'll be a bow, how many will vote in it, the one thing we do know is that this report be approved. let's begin our panel. report be approved. let's begin our anel. ., ., report be approved. let's begin our anel, ., ., ., panel. caroline, well, the wonder dru: i'd panel. caroline, well, the wonder drug i'd heped — panel. caroline, well, the wonder drug i'd hoped would _ panel. caroline, well, the wonder drug i'd hoped would stop - panel. caroline, well, the wonder drug i'd hoped would stop by - panel. caroline, well, the wonder- drug i'd hoped would stop by 11:30pm free trade. this from a former prime minister who hasjust a course

received a report about his conduct as prime minister that found he lied to parliament.— to parliament. well, boris johnson likes to create _ to parliament. well, boris johnson likes to create turmoil— to parliament. well, boris johnson likes to create turmoil wherever i to parliament. well, boris johnson| likes to create turmoil wherever he goes. clearly he's got a report that has made it very clear that he broke the rules are locked down and he'd like to eight lied to parliament. as you said in the report, he has also taken up a column with the daliy mail, surprise, surprise and is broken another ministerial code because he didn't seek advice about that which former ministers are to do. this is a guy for whom he doesn't believe that any of the rules apply to him. whatever happens on monday, i'm sure the report will be approved, he doesn't really care about that. he will get on with being their persona brand that is borisjohnson. any parallels with anyone over seas ron? he is a brand

footsteps, basically and that is what he cares about. no publicity is bad publicity for boris johnson. what he cares about. no publicity is bad publicity for borisjohnson. as long as he's on the airwaves, as long as he's on the airwaves, as long as he's on the airwaves, as long as were talking about him for borisjohnson. as long as he's on the airwaves, as long as were talking about him. i feel i should shut up about it now. he is ——. i couldn't agree more. so many similarities on our side of the pond as well_ similarities on our side of the pond as well as — similarities on our side of the pond as well as yours. the donald trump and seeking — as well as yours. the donald trump and seeking the limelight by being 37 indictments against him, felony charges _ 37 indictments against him, felony charges which are very serious. there _ charges which are very serious. there are — charges which are very serious. there are a _ charges which are very serious. there are a lot of legal scholars here _ there are a lot of legal scholars here who — there are a lot of legal scholars here who think there is a 50—50 chance — here who think there is a 50—50 chance that mr trump might end up going— chance that mr trump might end up going to— chance that mr trump might end up going to prison. but it doesn't phase — going to prison. but it doesn't phase donald trump and it doesn't phase _ phase donald trump and it doesn't phase borisjohnson. they seek phase donald trump and it doesn't phase boris johnson. they seek the limelight, they enjoy the limelight. and reports be damned, they are going _ and reports be damned, they are going to — and reports be damned, they are going to do with the going to do and that it _ going to do with the going to do and that it is _ going to do with the going to do and that it is able to get a say because they enjoy— that it is able to get a say because they enjoy the attention. you that it is able to get a say because they enjoy the attention.— they en'oy the attention. you are both they enjoy the attention. you are both pointing _ they enjoy the attention. you are both pointing out _ they enjoy the attention. you are both pointing out parallels. - both pointing out parallels. caroline, i wonder what it says about these political systems that

there is a borisjohnson here and there is a borisjohnson here and there is a donald trump over there. ron can correct me on this but if we look in terms of where these two individuals may go, potentially short of donald trump ending up being found guilty on colonel george, he could still be the front runnerfor george, he could still be the front runner for the george, he could still be the front runnerfor the republican nomination runner for the republican nomination and runnerfor the republican nomination and therefore be a candidate for president again. in borisjohnson's case, it's actually really a lot harder for him within case, it's actually really a lot harderfor him within our case, it's actually really a lot harder for him within our system case, it's actually really a lot harderfor him within our system of selection because we don't have a presidential race, we have a prime ministerial rays. in the conservative party really holds the reins on what happens in that regard. despite what people are saying, ifind it hard regard. despite what people are saying, i find it hard to regard. despite what people are saying, ifind it hard to believe that boris johnson saying, ifind it hard to believe that borisjohnson could get the support to be the conservative leader again. although he is helping perhaps to run for a third term as mayor of london. maybe that might be in easier competition. it is really

interesting the parallels between these two populists and their approach to politics. when you've got politicians who are known as boris or tromp, it's a bit like being madonna or springsteen although they are completely different to those people. as a springsteen fan i'll put that out there come a very different. it's there come a very different. it's the brand, the celebrity, on one level, dare i say, a weird charisma of connection with the public. because they don't act like normal politicians. there is something within that that the public sort of like. they know he's bad, they know he's broken rules, they know he out all sorts of interesting relationships, i'm talking about borisjohnson relationships, i'm talking about boris johnson now. relationships, i'm talking about borisjohnson now. they almost relationships, i'm talking about boris johnson now. they almost see that as a form of authenticity in a weird way. it'sjust that as a form of authenticity in a weird way. it's just weird that as a form of authenticity in a weird way. it'sjust weird in how that operates. i can stand back from the west minister bubble see that.

because what they often feel about other politicians that are bland, watch what they say, watch the appeasing queue and act like they're perfect people all the time. sometimes they feel outcome of the something going on that doesn't ring true that i don't trust. i think it's given everyone the sort of political spirit in the uk giving them something to think about, whether it's borisjohnson or nigel faraj, how these people somehow despite everything, people don't necessarily like them but they seem to engage in authenticity and trust that many others just can't create. that is an interesting point that you make there. something about the one name brand, isn't they are? it sounds like wrong, you agreed with some of what caroline was saying. i was. i was in new york city yesterday and i was on fifth ave and i remember— yesterday and i was on fifth ave and i remember donald trump's, where he said that _ i remember donald trump's, where he said that he _ i remember donald trump's, where he said that he could walk on fifth ave in new— said that he could walk on fifth ave in new york city and shoot somebody

and people _ in new york city and shoot somebody and people would still vote for him. it's and people would still vote for him. it's ironic— and people would still vote for him. it's ironic that i thought about that— it's ironic that i thought about that yesterday while i was in new york city— that yesterday while i was in new york city and we're having this conversation this evening. donald trump _ conversation this evening. donald trump believe it or not, more likely than not _ trump believe it or not, more likely than not wiii— trump believe it or not, more likely than not will be the republican nominee — than not will be the republican nominee for president of the united states _ nominee for president of the united states it _ nominee for president of the united states. it amazes me with his boisterous past, his legal troubles, all the _ boisterous past, his legal troubles, all the things that are associated with valid — all the things that are associated with valid donald. the donald is still likely to prevail in a public clinic— still likely to prevail in a public clinic republican appeal. what does that say— clinic republican appeal. what does that say about our politics of the united _ that say about our politics of the united states was met that people like united states was met that people iike that— united states was met that people like that can still command support from so _ like that can still command support from so many millions of people regardless of the things that he has done in _ regardless of the things that he has done in the past and what he could very weti— done in the past and what he could very well do in the future. likewise, _ very well do in the future. likewise, the daliy mail was clearly still betting that borisjohnson here has an audience. and in 2019 the daliy daily telegraph used to

set out his stall to run at prime minister. who knows what will happen next is mack take you both. daniel ellsberg, the whistle—blower who leaked document showing washington knew it could not win the war has died aged 92. the former us military endlessly the pentagon papers in 1971, led to a supreme court case is the nixon administration tried to block publication in the new york times. last year he was recalling this case to stephen soccer on bbc�*s hardtalk program. what this case to stephen soccer on bbc's hardtalk program.— hardtalk program. what i'm saying is, if ou hardtalk program. what i'm saying is. ifyou can't— hardtalk program. what i'm saying is, if you can't tolerate _ hardtalk program. what i'm saying| is, if you can't tolerate government lying you can't be in any government at a high foreign policy or staff position for a week i've been doing it almost ten years for that i thought, this is 7000 pages of top—secret documents, i'll go to prison for life. and in fact i was charged with the possible 115 years, which would be a life sentence for

that made it very clear this was not the place to plant the imperial flag. why was it dangerous because not the answer was i really was dangerous to policy, that he and nixon were carried out in secret. it was secretly threatening nuclear war to north vietnam. it makes a good reason to believe that it wasn't paranoid, that i had access to that. daniel ellsberg has died at the age of 92. around the world and across the uk this is bbc news. people are genuinely scared of islam. there was a report put out which said that a third of britons feel that islam threatens the british way of life. to me, what being british means is standing together and wanting equality and justice for everyone. he posts videos on social media that tackle misconceptions about his faith and discusses everything from it. muslims normally some celebrated because of the sighting of a new moon.

..to arranged marriage. people think they don't see the partner until the wedding night. scarf comes off. boom. that's not what marriage is. it allows people to ask questions about islam, which they might not feel comfortable asking elsewhere. and for me, it's about creating a safe space for conversation and dialogue. what saba is doing is presenting those teachings of islam in a very digestible and very easily accessible way. i think this content is very refreshing. | his posts are really, really like laymen and they make it normal. when someone comes across my instagram page, i hope they leave feeling inspired that muslims are humans and just like everybody else, we might look different or speak a different language or have a different worldview. but that doesn't take us away from striving to make the world a better place. you're live with bbc news. let's turn to a key diplomatic meeting that will happen over the weekend. us secretary of state antony blinken will be in china for key talks after months of diplomatic freeze

following the discovery of a high altitude chinese balloon floating over the united states. that incident derailed secretary blinken's original trip in february. since then the two countries have drifted further apart on a number of issues, including the war in ukraine, trade and the controversial social media app tiktok. speaking before the trip the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said talks must be made on equal. translation: | would _ like to emphasise once again the us should not fantasise about dealing with china based on its position of power. china and the us must develop their relationship on the basis of mutual respect and equality. mutual respect and equality. wrong, should we expect very much from this meeting? ikla should we expect very much from this meetin: ? ., ., ,, ., ., meeting? no for the know, mutual resect meeting? no for the know, mutual resoect and — meeting? no for the know, mutual respect and equality _ meeting? no for the know, mutual respect and equality on _ meeting? no for the know, mutual respect and equality on the - meeting? no for the know, mutual| respect and equality on the chinese side has not shown mutual respect to the united states for violating the sovereignty of our airspace, using a spy sovereignty of our airspace, using a spy craft to look at sensitive military installations, there recent report that the first three folks

who were infected with the coronavirus in fact came from the wuhan lab. there was a gain of function lab reporting that never should have happened, president barack 0bama actually ordered the united states not to participate in that photo of course we see what's going on with the installation of artificial reefs and military bases around the world that the chinese are using to gain a foothold for power. so, if the chinese side wants to talk about mutual respect any quality, perhaps their action should reflect better than the words we've seen from them from the past several years. seen from them from the past several ears. ., ., ., ., ., ., , years. caroline, from what ron has described there, _ years. caroline, from what ron has described there, the two _ years. caroline, from what ron has described there, the two sides - years. caroline, from what ron has described there, the two sides are | described there, the two sides are as far apart as ever. is it enough that this meeting is happening, that there is at least seeing to be a sign attentions are escalating? it’s sign attentions are escalating? it's hard to say at the moment whether they're _ hard to say at the moment whether they're just — hard to say at the moment whether they're just going through the motiohs— they're just going through the motions on this. there are so many

and there are some changes afoot on the weather front. those changes started to take place across the west during today, more cloud in the sky there. across parts of cornwall, we've seen some showers. and that's because we are closest in the west to this area of low pressure, this swirl of cloud here. and as this draws closer, the showers will become more widespread. so through tonight, southwest england, wales, parts of northwest england, south—west scotland and especially northern ireland will see some heavy, thundery downpours. the downpours across northern ireland could welljoin together into longer spells of rain. quite humid in the west — 15 for liverpool and cardiff. cooler and, in fact, rather chilly for some eastern parts of england and eastern and northern parts of scotland. tomorrow, showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the west. one or two may get a little bit further east, and certainly there will be more cloud in the mix, and some low cloud and some very murky conditions developing across the northern isles, maybe getting into some northeastern coasts of scotland. pollen levels tomorrow,

high or very high for the majority, so continued issues for hay fever sufferers. and temperatures 20—25 celsius, so down just a touch on where they have been of late. now, we could see a shower at edgbaston through tomorrow. 0n the whole, it will be dry, but the increasing chance of some heavy downpours into sunday and monday for the ashes cricket. now, through saturday night, we'll see quite a lot of low cloud rolling onto eastern coasts of england and scotland and further showers in the west. and as we get into sunday, this area of low pressure wobbles a little closer to our shores. also, this frontal system pushing up from the south. so this is a combination that will bring more in the way of downpours and thunderstorms. don't take the position on the graphics too literally. they will be showers, they will be hit—and—miss. there'll be places in between that stay dry. but particularly across england and wales, we could see intense thundery downpours, with the risk of localised flooding. temperatures certainly lower than they have been. 19—23 celsius covers it for most places. during sunday night,

it could well be that the showers and storms join together into a more coherent area of heavy, thundery rain, which will then push its way northwards. low pressure still close by for the start of the new week, so there'll be further heavy showers around. an unsettled start to the week, perhaps turning drier in the south later on. temperatures remaining above the average for the time of year.
