[000:00:00;00] ah this is the w news life from berlin. britain's prime minister faces a confidence vote. having endured a series of scandals, forrest johnson could not be forced from office. those members of parliament from his own party, a trigger a vote on his leadership. even though no clear challenger has the most also on the program, ukraine's president visits troops on the front line in don bass as a russian miss styles target the capital for the 1st time in weeks. and government

open fire as a church service in nigeria doesn't kill in a red attack in the south of the country. hope frances described it as a painful assault of worshippers for the time of celebration. ah, i'm from gale. welcome to the program. british prime minister boris johnson is fighting for his political survival. members of parliament from his own party have triggered a vote of confidence to be held this evening. he's been beset by scandal including revelations, about a series of parties at his official residence, during covey, 19 lockdown, and he was booed by crowds as he arrived at the queen's jubilee celebrations. this weekend is fate will be decided by a simple majority of conservative m. p. 's party official grant, brady announced that he'd received enough letters from mister johnson's

conservative party colleagues demanding the vote. the threshold, or 15 percent of the parliamentary policy seeking a vote of confidence in the prime minister has been passed. therefore, vote of confidence will take place. within the rules of the united states to committee, that vote will take place this evening in the house of commons between 6 and 8 o'clock. and we will announce the result. shortly thereafter, i notified the problems yesterday that the threshold had been reached and we agreed . the time table for confidence folks take place and he shared my view, which is also in line with the rules that we have in place, that that vote should happen as soon as could reasonably take place. will they w correspondence? charlotte chelsea pill is in london as she told me about the background of his vote . so there has been a sense here that this very has been a long time coming. those party gate. it's allegations that story,

as you mentioned, has been dragging on here for months and months. now, just to remind you that has caused a huge amount of upsets among the public, the feeling that those who are making the rules were breaking the rules. we know that the prime minister himself received one fine and connection with a party gate. and we've been hearing from a number of his m. p. 's that they have been hearing on the doorsteps when speaking to people that they represent, that that is something that keeps coming up. so that is very, very clearly a fax ahead. there are other factors as well. he has had a suffered in the polls recently once seen as a big election winner. indeed, he brought the party a huge majority in the last election that no longer seems to be the case. and you mention, of course, those booz it's celebrations for the queen's jubilee as well. his supporters will point out there was some cheers, but indeed there were very prominent booze. perhaps that was a crystallizing moment for those final and peas who were wavering. what we do know

though, is it still uncertain at this point exactly? which way this vote is going to go? yeah, i was going to the bubbles mines question maybe so a sufficient conservative on piece of coal for these rows. which way is it likely to go well, i think one thing that we have to say straight off the bat is never underestimate premise subarus johnson's ability to survive. there are some whisperings. indeed, we had from one of his most ardent supporters here just a short time ago that is in no question that he will survive this. but there is quite a broad coalition of opponents of prime minister forest johnson, and not so long the usual lines as well. this, he does have people who very much back to him and breaks it, who now coming out saying that they are against his prime minister. his detractors have been very critical, very odd and many of raising questions about his honesty and integrity. so it is

still an open question ma'am, but i think whether or not, or what if he survives this boat, it is likely to be bruising. we know from the past that when mpi premise is do survive these, those, they have then had to step down or left off as a short time later. so this will damage the prime minister regardless of the outcome. and so to be clear, this is not a parliamentary value, this is a part of political matter. but if he loses this confidence vote, will that mean the country loses its prime minister? that indeed will trigger a leadership election. he will not be able to run in that now. a lot of his supporters have said that now is simply not a time for what could be quite a protracted leadership battle. they say that given the situation in ukraine, the cost of living crisis here at home is not the time for something like that. they need some stability here in the country. that's what they are arguing. they say that it would have

a huge di stabilizing effects to have this leadership challenge. there are others who say that they simply isn't the man to take the country through those charges are that charlotte, charlotte, chelsea, hill, and logan i. some of the store is making headlines now will start in kazakhstan, where voters over overwhelmingly back constitutional reforms proposed by president casem jermarta archive. the referendum paved the way for decentralized policy making and the removal of special privileges for the former president, north fulton as a buyer who has been, who has remained influential even after leaving office. a vote follows a turbulent period in catholics time, including a wave of violence in january. russia's foreign minister, sir gala ralph was canceled the trip to serbia after several countries close the air space to his play, or gary and north macedonia, and montenegro. impose the restrictions as part of sanctions against russia over the war and new craig, mr. love,

rob had been to you to visit serbia to discuss supplying the country with russian energy. is called the incident on thinkable. though were ukrainian president vladimir lansky has visited troops holding off russian forces in the countries east . the 2 at several times, close the front line in the east and don bass region. it's only the 2nd time he's been seen outside keith since the war began. the ukrainian president on the move in the region of separate chia bloody mercer lensky met to talk strategy with local leaders. from there he says he travel to the towns a flip it chance can solid are close to the current front lines in don bass. this footage was published by celebrities office after his visit. says course i am proud of everybody. i met every one i shook hands, whistled every one with whom i connected with and expressed my support. we brought something for the military. i will not elaborate in detail on this,

and there's something we brought from them to you when we brought you confidence. it's the 2nd time the ukrainian president has been seen outside of the cave region . the trip comes after the capital got hit for the 1st time in weeks. both ukraine and russia have confirmed the attacks. while those locals with russian air force is long range, missiles destroyed t 72 tanks on the outskirts of keep supplied by eastern europe and other armored vehicles located on the premises of a car repair business was michel, nope, group was look what were larry multiple theater ukraine says it was a rail facility and invited journalist to toward the plant, partially still in flames, and without tax. this fulfill fees for the la be full and everyone can call and few. of course, if there's some conspiracy or maybe who will use next to the next morning saying that ukrainian took away tanks from the facility about he goes to possible as the

details of the strike on keith were being contested. russia's president flooding mer putin warned of new attacks. if the west sense long range missiles to ukraine, then you whooped and you still, if long range missiles are supplied, we'll make certain conclusions and use our own means of destruction, stuff we have enough to strike a tockets. we have not yet, but you've been hitting them a book and new them away from the battlefield. soleski thanked troops and handed out awards to ukrainian fighters aiming to boost the military spirits. alas, correspondent matuse bullying her. and keith, how seriously people are taking those threats from the russian president this is the way russia frames it, sir. they are saying that they have to react to the deliveries of western weapons. and western weapons are certainly a target for russian misses. but people, he are well aware that these misses have had,

have his oil storage is food storage is they have hit civilian infrastructure. and though question is, would russia not fire these rockets if there were no western weapons? and i think few people here come to the conclusion that this would be the case. so this rhetoric escalation is nothing that surprises people here, right? that meanwhile, and the beast and don bass region, they're heavy fighting is continuing. can you bring us up to date their it's very complicated at the moment this i have a fighting in the city of civil or the nets. this is which has been a hot spot for the last few days and weeks, and we've heard yesterday that ukrainians have gained some territory in the city pushing back the russians. now the russians seem to be advancing again pushing back the ukrainians. ukraine has deployed several new battalions. they're also foreign fighters as we hear. and it's definitely going to be one of the,

this is of battles in this era. now in this period of the war, i could attacks continue also in other parts along the front line. there has been, have been pushes to woods, a sweater here, which is one of the religious centers of the region, and also in other front lines. and the visits by the lensky is definitely a clear signal. there are meant to encourage the soldiers were under huge pressure, or he said it before. the ukrainian troops might be losing up to $100.00 soldiers a day, which is a huge amount. and if this continues like, that would be a very difficult situation for the ukrainian army. so at the taking the risk going to the frontline is definitely something that is in that would be valued here in ukraine where students get us made a lot of popularity has gained a lot of popularity by taking such risks. and you mentioned in passing rush,

the attack on this of this ancient monastery which present the landscape and was quite vocal about her over the weekend. this was just the latest of, of many such attacks. of course, what the russians are doing often is that they indiscriminately shell areas and a lot of buildings are being hit by these shells, including churches and monasteries. now this one has a very symbolic meaning. it is one of the of, of 2 religious centers of the orthodox church in ukraine. and it belongs to the orthodox church. it. there is a split in the orthodox church in ukraine. there is a, an autonomous ukrainian orthodox church. and one that used to be until shortly a few days ago actually be under the moscow patriarchal. they have an hour declared that they are not law any longer under the moscow patrick. but this was one of their main spiritual centers. thank you for that matter. matthew siblings, in keith, georgia has become

a haven for russians who oppose their country's war in ukraine. tens of thousands of fled to the neighboring country where they can stay visa free for up to a year. the w correspondent, iraq rochette has been to the capital tbilisi to meet russian exiles were found more freedoms there than at home. a welcome drink in blue and yellow. the national colors of ukraine is given to every visitor to this bar into billy's old town, nato. most guests here are russian citizens who fled to their homeland. in the last few months, romance dick and his girlfriend trust his lover came from moscow. they are enjoying their evening in exile, listening to ration stand up, comedians, tell jokes about vladimir putin. i miss russia, this artist says it's my home, but i can't go there anymore because of one person. it's like i was invited to a cool party, but my x is going to all my friends are there. and i can go because graham idiot,

which and when i got click of him on the political jokes, are very popular. because all of us who are here didn't just come to georgia as tourists, but for political reasons, some of the rent receipt and i and russia. you can hardly joke about the presidential key or political presidente after the invasion of ukraine. tens of thousands of russians came to georgia, traditionally a popular tourist destination. he has a feel safe back home. they could be punished for, criticizing the war, leading in freedom and independence is what attracts many young russians to neighboring georgia. if they came in a one way ticket without the return date, and they have no idea how long they will stay here. for romance, dish openly condemned to the gore on social media. in addition to the 23 year old, i t specialist men who works for customers abroad. when russia was thrown out of the international money transfer system swift on the western sanctions,

he felt he could no longer conduct business in moscow. can each skipper chin at the post alone? of course economic reasons were decisive for me. i employ 80 people and i thought of them 1st started on my shuttle at a bit, whispering to luna? no, but they're also political reasons which i don't want to pay taxes in a militaristic, russia, nor do i want to be associated with the country any more. i don't want anything to do with it in the future either just when young i'm interested all now to thought so. roman still owes his new beginning to georgia. he sees his future here and the future of thousands of other decent rations as he calls his compatriots, who are openly opposed to the war. god will dart maralie. oh, or shall go as more we were deprived of many opportunities, many perspectives. what a minister each to my sister's 14. i don't want her to tie her future to russia.

yes, we have pushed money. what else were your militia were mercy, like all russian citizens, romans? dish can live in georgia for a year without a visa. he doesn't know what he'll do after that. in any case, he has turned his back on his home country for ever. lester fighting that reporter, you re told me more about some of the russian exiles that he'd met. well, most of them my intellectual journalists, i t specialists, specialists or artists are probably all of them people who are afraid of ending up in jail for speaking out against the war. doing so can lead to a prison sentence of up to 15 years, jail for what is being called quote, spreading hate use a bar to the russian armed forces. and this is an legitimate fear. there are people who have been convicted of this now, but the war there does seem to have a lot of supporter at home. why is that? or there is actually

a large part of the population as it has fallen before the official propaganda, and believes that russia is indeed liberating their neighboring country from nazi's are in the west. it's difficult to comprehend how strong the effect of propaganda can actually beat. but in russia, we're talking about propaganda that has been pushed out on all state channels for the last or past 20 years. and in this context, we of course also have to mention westhal sanctions fill with cherry in forest. the impression that the west is ganging up on russia as at russia is surrounded by enemies. but as of this conflict rex on and to casualties on the russian side, i'm mounting as well. you can say that dissatisfaction with the war is growing on all sides of the political delight because russian society has been extremely divided by the door there. of course, people in russia that are absolutely against what's happening in ukraine is suffering with the cranium. people. all right, so, so, so that message is getting through and they have been anti war protests. are they gaining momentum?

does the crime in seeing these anti war processed at all as threatening not yet, i think because is the number of those who openly dare to protest against the war remains small. this number could rise if rest and sanctions against russia work and to rush and stick to the streets for economic reasons. ah, but at the moment of these sanctions are working very slowly. russia has huge reserves of gold and money, as the rubel has been artificially strengthened. our prices have gone up a bit, but that's not enough to send to support us of the government out onto the street. i'd will still be a while before the sanctions really starts to bite. at the same time, these sanctions are being exploited as propaganda, as it sees them as a weapons that the west is using in its economic war against russia. and as a result, many i even uniting around putting what's um, almost a more important as that what the public thinks is that the reaction of the leads those closest to putin. many of them are feeling the effects of the sanctions

because that they have lost access to their assets in the west, even they would start an uprising that could be dangerous for putting but at the moment this is also yeah, very unlikely. i thank you for that uri uni, rash, saturn, and rigor. gunman half attacked a crowded church in nigeria. the unknown assailant killed dozens of people and kidnapped the priest. it happened in the city of our own in the southwest and state of under where such violence is rare. pope frances as he's praying for the victims who were killed while mocking the christian holiday of pentecost, a religious celebration turned into a massacre. no one was spared, not even children. the assault at saint francis catholic church unfolded during the morning service. the states bishop described a meticulously planned attack is quite on believing that somebody will
