and don bass has russian missiles target the capital for the 1st time in weeks. and a risk attack in nigeria were gunman open fire at the catholic church, dozens of worshipers, including children, are killed. hope frances offers prayers for the victim. ah, hi everyone, i live. all right, thank you so much for joining us. we start this broadcast in the u. k, where conservative lawmakers will decide whether to back or sac british prime minister, boars, johnson, members of parliament from his own party, will vote in just a couple of hours time on whether they have confidence in mr. johnson's leadership . ah, the you case royal jubilee celebration over. but boris johnson's political hangover

has just begun. the british leader is facing a fight for his political survival. more than 15 percent of conservative in peace have withdrawn this support for the prime minister. enough to trigger a party leadership challenge. i notified the prime minister yesterday that the threshold had been reached and we agreed the time table for confidence i'd say vice rumors of a possible challenge have been swirling for months. driven by a series of scandals. late last year, revelations emerged that johnson and his staff had held a number of parties in breach of the u. cade's covered 19 lockdown laws. climate following 2 separate investigations. johnson became the 1st serving prime minister to be fined for breaking the law. for many conservative m. p 's, the so called party gate scandal was

a step too far. now is very clear in january that the prime should have resigned in january. it was clear that party gate was going to grow and grow and run and run while on the streets of london. many expressed a lack of trust in the embattled prime minister. i just did lie after lie after lie off lie off to cover up the cover of the chain rule. he's a white one. i hope he gets no confidence because i've got no confidence in him. conservative and peace, who have come out in support have tried to focus on the big picture or economy opened up faster than all the compar recall is particularly of the vaccine roll out . he has shown himself to be a good, strong leader who just the big decisions, right. and he has a mandate from the british people to range of thought. the opposition leader says that even if johnson survived the vote and said his hold over the party has already been dramatically weakened as pa, i think history tells us that this is the beginning of the end. if you look at the

previous examples of no confidence hopes, even when conservative prime minister survived that he might survive, it's an ide. the damage is already done with m. p. 's due to cast their ballots in secret. the result of the vote and of johnson's political future is far from certain the size of the moments that had dw corresponding charlotte, you're some pill is covering the story for you. she standing outside parliament in london. charlotte said what brought this to ahead? layla, this has been a long time coming really these allegations of party gate, which you heard about in not report that have dogs, that pride, this prime minister. indeed this government for many, many months now, but it appears now is the name into that date of confidence. has finally come to a head. there are a number of reasons why i should happen right now. festival,

this has just been dragging on and on. secondly, there happened a number of, of quite damaging poles recently for the conservative party that might be shaping opinion. and then of course, you played that clip there of the booze at the queen's jubilee celebrations for the prime minister. his supporters will point out that there was some cheers as well. but at school perhaps that a number of his m p 's for them. perhaps it was a crystallizing moment, realizing just the level of public anger still felt over these party gates or allegations claims. the fact that the prime minister himself was find as well. they had a 4 day holiday weekend to go and speak to voters. it's possibly, they realised that this simply isn't going away. it simply isn't going away. what are the chances the likelihood for mr. johnson that he might win this vote of confidence? well of course, if you speak to his supporters within his own party, they'll say he will absolutely win. but as was mentioned, this is

a secret ballot. so we don't really know how many are publicly saying they back him and then how they plan to vote privately. that will only become clear once this vote starts to emerge. but what is crucial to remember here is that even if he does survive this vote, the fact that a vote is being held and is already damaging to the prime minister. people will be looking at the margin by which she wins by. if indeed, that is the case, perhaps he'll be so wounded as has been in the case in the past with other prime ministers who faced in the deeds confidence votes. perhaps that could prove extremely damaging, not just for him, but the party going forward. what happens if he loses the vote? would he be removed from office without would trigger a leadership battle, which she wouldn't be allowed to run in? so essentially would in the longer time be the end of his prime ministerial career,

he could stay on and, and remain in office up until the point that another leader is elected. but yes, this sa, if he were to lose the vote, that would essentially be the end for the prime minister and his career. charlotte shall some pill reporting from westminster. thank you so much. charlotte. president palmer zalinski has visited troops holding off russian forces in eastern ukraine. he towards several towns close to the front line in the dumbass region. it's only the 2nd time mister zalinski has been seen outside keith since the war began. the ukrainian president on the move in the region of supper each year. holiday mersa lensky met to talk strategy with local leaders. from there he says he travel to the towns afflicted chance can solid are close to the current front lines and don boss. this footage was published by

celebrities office after his visit, which of course i am proud of every body. i met every one. i shook hands with 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 ukranian president has been seen outside of the keith 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 look of his 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, nov, group was work order later, multiple theater ukraine says it was a rail facility and invited journalist to toward the plant,

partially still in flames and without tax. this facility is full, the lip is full and every one can come and see. of course, if there is some conspiracy theory may be who will use next. the next model saying that ukrainian took away tanks from the facility wasn't, wasn't as the details of the strike on keith were being contested, rushes, president flooding marapoo 10 warrant of new attacks. if the west sense long range missiles to ukraine than he whooped and you still, if long range missiles are supplied, we'll make certain conclusions and use our own means of destruction that we have enough to strike a targets. we have not yet. i can been hitting them a book. i knew them away from the battlefield. sa lensky thanked troops and handed out awards to ukrainian fighters. aiming to boost the military spirits.

he w. cemetery is billing or told me it was quite a remarkable move by mister zalinski to visit areas near the front lines. yeah, and it's a very risky her visit. of course sir. um, he was exposed basically to russian shelling while being there. so it must have been planned very the roughly, and of course it was published only after he went there. but i, it's probably something that it was very clever of him to do because it several times when he has shown that he is basically ready to torso, take some risk, for example, when he stayed in the capital, as russians were moving on on to the capital in the beginning of the war, he has contributed a lot to morale in the country and in the army. under this visit, of course is in there, it is an earl without a morale bursting visit. but at the same time, the ukrainian president says, the situation could become very difficult for ukraine if russia breaks through in damp ass. what's the latest? what can you tell us if it breaks through,

it has been no breakthrough so far. but russia has made a lot of gains in the past few days, or they are small games that add up to some city, some something that puts the ukrainians a lot under pressure. they're using a lot of artillery to move forward is of is a very destructive campaign, and many ukrainian soldiers are dying. now in the don boss, the president has said up to $100.00 per day and either it's is dead decision around. for example, civil at underscore other cities and places. there is not really there yet. fighting continues are with it seems like yesterday the ukrainians were able to move forward, regain parts of the city today, it seems they're under pressure, and rushes might have the upper hand. although these informations, of course, need to be taken with caution are because there is nobody on the ground to can objectively assess the situation. pressure is high on the ukrainian army,

and the pressure has increased with the russian president vladimir putin threatening to increase attacks because of deliveries as western weapons, but more heavy light. it's not the 1st time the russian president is threatening something. it's clear that the western weapons are, of course, a target for the russians. they want to weaken the ukraine. and that could be done by, for example, hitting military equipment or but so russia has also attacked oil storage is food storage is in the past. so i think people here aren't very of our, our inter following these words very closely because anyway, the whole of ukraine is a target for vladimir putin and he will escalate whenever he decides to escalate whether the west delivers weapons or not. and can you talk to us a little bit more about russia's attack on an ancient monastery which presenter zalinski condemned over the weekend?

i understand that was just the latest of such attacks. yeah, this monastery is now at the, at the front line. it's one of the 3 are most important, a monasteries here in ukraine for the ot orthodox church and it, it was hit and part of it or has been burning this week. and it's a remarkable attack. of course, because of this monastery is one of those are part of the ukranian church that we're still under the moscow patriarchy. that when it was not one of those who had already left the patriarchy, although the, this apart ukrainian, or orthodox church under the moscow pottery patriarchy is now, in the process of renouncing to this patriarchy, um, so it, but it is a, one of the symbols of of the common orthodox history of russia and ukraine that put in likes to stress. so it's a very remarkable, a remarkable globe that target and as you've said,

it's not the 1st church that has been hit during this war. there were many others at accidentally or not. he w corresponded mattie as billing of reporting from keith ukraine. thank you much. yes. georgia has become a haven for russians who opposed the war in ukraine. tens of thousands, a flat across the border where they can stay without a visa for up to a year. did have a correspondent, you re, re, shadow, has been to the capital tbilisi to meet with russian exiles who found more freedom there than back home. ah, the wilkin drink and blue and yellow, the national colors of ukraine is given to every visitor to this bar in the billy says, old town was not on the book. most guests here are russian citizens who fled to their homeland. in the last few months, romance dish and his girlfriend crossed his lava came from moscow. they're enjoying their evening in exile, listening to russian, stand up, comedians,

tell jokes about vladimir putin. i miss rush. this ought to 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 one idiot. oh my god, clicker from an on the political jokes are very popular. because all of us who are here didn't just come to georgia tourists, but for political reasons, some of the rent receipt and i and russia. you can hardly joke about the presidential or political, but as a jumper. after the invasion of ukraine, tens of thousands of russians came to georgia. traditionally, a popular tourist destination. he, as if you'll save back home, they could be punished for, criticizing the war. living in freedom and independence is what attracts many young russians to neighboring georgia. if they came on a one way ticket without the return date. and they have no idea how long they will stay here. some romances dish openly condemned to the gore on social media.

in addition, the 23 year old id specialist many works for customers abroad when russia was thrown out of the international money transfer system. swift under western sanctions. he felt he couldn't hold on a conduct business in moscow. can i me skip a chin at the pasta? no. of course economic reasons were decisive for me. i employ 80 people. i thought of them 1st started my shuttle about whispering to lou. nope, up, there are also political reasons why i don't want to pay taxes in a militaristic, russia, nor do i want to be associated with that country any more. i don't want anything to do with it in the future either way and i'm at 20 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. good that i'm where i live. oh,

or to an order was more we were deprived of many opportunities. many perspectives will come in astra each to my sister's 14. i don't want her to tie her future to russia. yeah, we have pushed many hotels that were your militia were brassy black. all russian citizens roman state 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 forever. let's tell you about the other stories we're keeping an eye on. voters in kazakhstan, have backed constitutional reforms proposed by president casino martin to kind of the referendum paves the way for decentralized policy making. it also removes special privileges for the former leader because exxon has been gripped by unrest including a wave of violence back in january. russian foreign minister say allow

raw, cancelled a trip to serbia after several governments closed their airspace. mr. lab off was due in belgrade for talks over russian energy supplies. we turn our focus now to west africa where dozens of worshippers were killed. when gunman stormed a catholic church in nigeria, prison, bihari and pope frances have both condemned the attack. the pope offered prayers for the victims. they were celebrating the christmas holiday of pentecost. it's not clear who carried out the atrocity. 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 state's bishop described a meticulously planned attack is quite unbelievable that somebody will come on. the intention will still keep everybody in the church and lose running out

there will be shut from outside. just wait inside where be shut from inside the tree to die. months to lew, all the all. talk down to the sanctuary. this kind of the secretions don't little, don't lukewarm. the attack was in our city in a state of armando. it's a relatively peaceful region that's rarely targeted by gangs and islamist extremists. with nigeria battling a prolonged insurgency in the north. many are asking why the country self was targeted. the violence struck one week after the head of nigeria is methodist church was kidnapped in the nation, se he has since been freed, worshippers at st. francis, praying their priest also returns home alive. we're

going to take an hour to lagos. our correspondent to elisa tacoma is standing by elisa, can you share with us some of the reactions that have been a felt so after this horrific attack? well, layla, it's been about 20 for more than 24 hours. now, since it's as a disorder yesterday, sunday morning in that in or one that catholic joe's saint francis in odessa southwest there. jerry and in terms of reactions for ones for nigeria latanaya and says shock, horror. and indeed anger people. angry, named june said react an angle, especially on twitter as to how this has happened. again and again and again. and perhaps wendy will be an end to gone man. incidences. and people getting attacked in different places with dotted outs. it's happening in north east in north central . this is in or war a quiet town you have to say on those days. otherwise nigeria in a church on a sunday, big blowed not just for the government was sadness for the niger and people. so

shock, sadness and horror. and now can you tell us a little bit more about the community and, and the area where this so horrific attack took place in terms of what's the security situation there like well this isn't a southwest of nigeria relatively peaceful if you don't really hear either much banded tree, or you know, they had lambs or kidnappers actually had am in some places of the north central or the north east. this is in a very quiet town, very peaceful. there's been talked about improving security in the southwest. prior to this event, i have a like a regional policing structure ah, what they call the are mot. techal are structure. maybe maybe that discussion will resurface somehow on social media again. and what is that did not really happen people and asking. so how did has happened that, you know, just get attacked on a sunday and before the police could get there, things that really happened. they took their time to really kill people and picked them up. the grow, do know the purchase. i really graphic on horrific. so the big question is that this uses grades are going on in a country,

is moving from the south from the north to the south, and more secure to situations happening elsewhere in the country. so is a really security question are for, for the government. i also for the authorities that nationwide, is there a theory conclusion, alyssa, that a new wave of violence could hear this a specific region and, and what is the government doing? well, the government clearly have a lot of work on their hands. they've had a lot of work even before now with a situation in the north east with their kidnapping. banditry, you have their separate us in to south east of nigeria, law speaker, a methodist prelate was kid that just like we talked about her in her, you know in the report before there, sir, and now you have and it's southwest in all you have gone men because the are yet of yon dent on identity ident identified, gunner, we don't know which grew because no one has claimed responsibility. no person has said they are responsible for this. it went to police and it sends out a godmother, very careful to just say the word. god meant gal gunmen and not in more. so

a big work for them to do going forward for security, not just in north or northeast, but also in the south west. this can happen in a place like, or war in on those states. lisa shipple, my in that league are so reporting a for you there. thank you so much. melissa. germany economy minister robert hardback has kicked off a 4 day tour of the middle east in television. mr. harbor has held talks about renewable energy sources, as well as the recent uptick in violence in the region. we also discuss possibly exporting gas from israel to europe, as germany tries to wean itself off russian energy. and germany's robert to ha back says the talks have been constructive both very intense and good discussion. we had a lot of issues. broad mandate discuss the process of normalization with the erotic neighboring countries who are now planning to build up

a renewable infrastructure. for example, in job job and use fits for dissemination of water, bring that water to israel and jordan and explain to me how far away the plans for these projects on some space for european and john and companies to step in. and that was germany's economy minister, robert ha, backer, speaking moments ago in jerusalem, while d w, a political corresponded to or so deli is traveling with him. julia, this is his 1st stop on a $44.00 day trip rather to the region. yes it's his 1st stop and it also tackled one of the issues that are the main topics of this entire trip. he's going to go to the palestinian territories after this and then to jordan to a energy climate conference. but having made it clear today that he thinks that a green energy and the fight against climate change can be topics that can unify

lots of countries in the region. because it is a region that is a bearing the brunt of the consequences of climate change. but it is also a region that is a high producer of c o. 2 still where renewable energy is, aren't necessarily widespread. so he believes that partnerships between these countries to push forward the development of renewable energy from solar to hydrogen, can bring these countries together. and germany is ready to support with partnerships with these countries. what else is on the agenda, julia? well, there was a lot of talk of about habit coming to israel to try to strike a deal on receiving some of israel's gas. israel has quite enough gas for itself and is ready to begin exporting it. but how big made clear that that is not the goal of his trip because there is currently not enough infrastructure to bring back

gas from israel to europe. and by the time this infrastructure a were to be completed, that is when germany wants to already start moving on from gas to more renewable energy. so this topic wasn't necessarily at the center of talks today, but definitely it was the relationship between israel and germany. hobbit wanted to make clear that this is an important relationship for germany. and also he wanted to bring back to the table, the topic of de escalation, given the rising tensions in israel and the palestinian territories. political corresponding to us our daily report. thank you very much. we want to tell you about the other stories that were falling for you were not actually i want to tell you about our top story. british prime minister boards, johnson is facing a vote of no confidence that could ask him from power lawmakers from his own conservative party triggered their leadership challenge following a series of scandals.
