ah ah ah ah, this is due to the news live from berlin, looking for a lifeline. britain's prime minister faces a decisive confidence vote, plagued by log down breaking scandals at the height of the covert crisis. forest johnson could now be forced from office as and peace from his own party trigger a vote on his leadership. also coming up, boosting morale. you crazed president visits troops on the frontline and don bass

as russian missiles target the capital for the 1st time in weeks. and a horrific attack in nigeria were gunman, open fire at a catholic church. dozens of worshipers, including children, are killed. but frances offers prayers for the victims ah hello everyone, i'm layla rock. thank you very much for joining us. british prime minister board johnson is facing a make or break vote. and just under an hour's time, while makers from his conservative party will start voting on whether to back or sack their leader, a series of recent scandals has caused mr. johnson's popularity to plummet.

the u. kay's royal jubilee celebrations 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 more than 15 percent of conservative in peace have withdrawn this support for the prime minister.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 have been reached and we agreed the timetable 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. i'm an 8th following to 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 it's 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 these lie after lie after lie a fly off to cover up to cover up the chain is a waste on i hope he gets no confidence because i've got no confidence in him. conservative m. p 's who have come out and support have tried to focus on the big picture or economy opened up faster than other comparable economies, particularly, or 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 who range of the opposition leader says that even if johnson survives the vote and said his hold over, the party has already been dramatically weakened as par,

i think history tells us that this is the beginning of the end, if you look at the previous examples of no confidence folks, even when conserved to prime minister survived, that he might survive it tonight. the damage is already done with emp, is due to cast their ballots in secret. the result of the vote and of johnson's political future is far from certain when we hear now, is he gonna use alex forest whiting to talk more about what is potentially could be described as a difficult moment for the prime minister. what led to this felt? well, it's very much tied up to these parties that were held in downing street during the lockdown, and on the fact that the prime minister himself out with find it was ruled that he broke the law. and i think that although he claims that he has been vindicated, because i was a big report into what happened in downing street in his parties, many of his own m. p. 's, do not think that he has been vindicated. in fact, that angry that they don't feel is shown enough contrition. and also it's very

clear across the country that many people have had enough. of course, johnson, they think he live, they think he broke the law and they want him to go. and a lot of those m. p 's have got very, very small majorities and they are under pressure. and i think that is why we have had this drip drip feed of these let his going in to which this magical number of 54 letters, 15 percent of the conservative party saying that they want they want there to be this confidence vote talk very briefly through the process, what happens in the next hour? so in the next hour, conservative m. p 's, there are 359. will be able to vote in secret about whether they have confidence in the prime minister or whether they do not. now that vote will take around 2 hours and then in another hour, so about 4 hours from now, there should be a result about whether or not of enough of his his m, p. 's have confidence in him. now the threshold is 180 conservative m p 's. if he

gets a 180 m p 's backing him, then he is safe. if he does not get that magical number of 180 than he is not safe, and he will have to go step down as a leader for the purposes of this discussion. what happens if he does, if he does not secure the magical number of $180.00 votes, will he be removed from office? how do they go about doing that? so he will be removed as a leader of the conservative party. however, he will remain prime minister until a new m p is voted to leave the conservative party and be prime minister. and, but it is boris johnson like to just say we know we do have to factor that in. he's made it very, very clear that he does not want to resign. there were numerous cases that we've had over the past 2 years where he could have resigned. people were expecting him to resign and he has not. he has hung on so i think he will be fighting to the bitter end, including if you don't win this vote, but only by a small launching

a many might expect him to step down. i do not think that he will now we we so for example, theresa maine. she was the previous prime minister, the previous leader of the party. she won her confidence vote 6 months later, she had step down and who had resigned his party leader and prime minister. it's because she emerged she won, but she kind of lost because she emerged weaker. could that also be the case here with my supervisor? i think that is the case here. he is weak and there are many people who want him to go, but he is a fighter and he is not just going to take it lying down so he will do everything to hang on. he's been speaking to his own, m p. 's trying to persuade them to support him saying, look, i got breaks it down. i'm still the man for you vote for me and we will see if they will do that in the next few hours. but will the party want to cut its losses? i mean, he might wanna, you know, fight it out, do get out, but does the party want to back end? well, they're very spit on this and half the party, it seems at the moment, do not want him to suddenly to lead them into the next election on their behalf. do

there have been a whole load of conservative party donors have donated to the conservative party over the last few years. they have come out in support of boris johnson. he is rallying the troops. but the problem is, as we saw just a couple of days ago, as people were waiting to see the royal family go into saint paul's cathedral to celebrate the queen's jubilee forest. johnson was booed by members of the public. now those people who like the royal family, who you would think might be natural conservative party voters, and they were booing the prime minister. and that is the problem that the conservative, the tory party has at the moment. is he popular enough? he was in the past, but his he now and that's their problem. alex force wiring or find out in a couple of hours. thank you so much. turn our attention now to ukraine, where president villamore zalinski has visited troops holding off russian forces in eastern ukraine. he toward several towns close to the front line and the dumbass

region is 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 separate chia, while audi mersa lensky met to talk strategy with local leaders. from there he says he travel to the towns of flitted chance and solid are close to the current front lines in don boss. this footage was published by celebrities office after his visit . of course, i am proud of everybody. 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. we brought you confidence. it's the 2nd time the ukranian 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 the look of his russian air force is long range, missiles destroyed 272 tanks on the outskirts of keep supplied by eastern europe and other armored vehicles located on the premises of recall repair business was michelle, navigable for larry. multiple theater. ukraine says it was a rail facility and invited journalist to tour the plant partially still in flames . and without tax this facilities for the lip is full and every one can come and see. of course, if there is some conspiracy theory, maybe they will use next to the next model fans that ukrainian took away tanks from the facility, but he can see wasn't as the details of the strike on keith were being contested. rushes president flooding their pu 10 warrant of new attacks. if the west sense long range missiles to ukraine than you booked, and you don't,

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 target. we have not yet been hitting them away from the battlefield. soleski thanked troops and handed out awards to ukrainian fighters. aiming to boost the military spirits. habeas met his billing or told me it was quite a remarkable move by mister zalinski to visit area is near the front lines. yeah. and it's a very risky a 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 several times when he has shown that he is basically ready to torso, take some risk, for example,

when he stayed in the capitol as russians were moving on on to the capital in the beginning of the war, and he has contributed a lot to morale in the country and in the army under this visit, of course is in the it is in a row with that a morale boosting visit bred. in the same time, the ukranian president says, the situation could become very difficult for ukraine if russia breaks through in dom bass. 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 gains that add up to something that isn't 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 danbury, the president has said up to $100.00 per day and other it's is dead decisions around. for example, civil at underscore other um cities and places. there is not really there yet.

fighting continues or with it seems like yesterday the ukrainians were able to move forward, regain parts of the city to day. it seems they're under pressure, and rushes might have the upper hand. although these informations, of course, need to be taken with caution or 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 of western weapons, but more heavy line. 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 better. russia has also attacked oil storage is food

storage is in the past. so i think people here, iron very up or up are inter following these words very closely because any way the whole of ukraine is a target of let me put in and he will escalate whenever he decides to escalate whether the west delivers weapons or not. and can you talk to so a 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 yet this monastery is now at the front line. it's one of the 3 are most important, a monasteries here in ukraine for the orthodox church and it, it was hit and part of it or has been burning it 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 patriot, 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 mathias filling a reporting from keith ukraine. thank you much. yes. one as i now but the other stories in the headlines right now. the world's richest man, ellen musk has threatened to walk away from his deal to buy twitter. batista boss accuses the social media company of refusing to provide data about fake accounts. twitter agreed to masks, $44000000000.00 takeover bid back in april rushes foreign minister,

sir, gala ralph has cancelled a trip to serbia after several governments closed their airspace. mister lab, ralph was due in belgrade for talks over russian energy supplies. dozens of worshippers were killed when gunman stormed a catholic church in nigeria. president bl hari, and pope frances have both condemned the attack. the pope offered prayers for the victims. they were celebrating the christian 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 states bishop described a meticulously planned attack. is quite on believing that somebody with

whom the intention was to keep everybody in the church. i'm lose running out there will be shot from outside use. wait inside where be shut from inside the true to diamonds, to blue. oh, the all talk duncan, your sanctuary. this kind of the secretion only be done with the attack was in a la 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 methodist church was kidnapped and the nation se he has since been freed, worshippers at st. francis praying, their priest also returns home alive on

thy jillions are shocked and angry as it'd be correspondent alyssa, chuck walmart, told me from a gas well, ala, it's been about $24.00 more than 24 hours now. since the outs as resorted the yesterday. sunday morning in the in or one that catholic joe's saint francis in odessa and south westlake jerry. and in terms of reactions for once. when i jerry a lotto nigeria and said shock, horror, and indeed anger. people angry and insurance had react and angrily, especially on twitter as to how this has happened. again and again and again. and perhaps wendy will be an end to gunmen incidences and people getting our tax in different places we talked about. it's happening in north east in north central. this is in or war a quiet town you have to say on those days hours, nigeria in a church on a sunday. big blowed not just for the government was sadness. so 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 is in the southwest of nigeria relatively peaceful. do you don't really hear either much banded tree or, you know, the hoodlums or kidnappers actually had him in some places up in north central or in north east. this is in a very quiet town, very peaceful. there's been talked about improve in security in the southwest prior to this event, i have a like a regional police in structure are what they call the are mot. techal are structure . maybe maybe that discussion will resurface somehow on social media again about things that did not really happen. people asking, so how did this happen that, you know, just get attacked on a sunday and before the police could get there, things that really happened. it took their time to really kill people and picked them up the grow. do know the pictures are really graphic on horrific. so the big question is that this uses grades are going down in a country, is moving from the south or from the north to the south,

and masika to situations happening elsewhere in the country. so is a really security question our for, for the government. i also for the authorities the nationwide, is there a fear in conclusion, alyssa, that a new wave of violence could hear this 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 separatists in the south east of nigeria, law speaker. a methodist prelate was kid that just i, we talked about her in her, you know, in the reports before there, sir, and now you haven't southwest, or you have gone men because they are yet of yon dent on identity ident identified, gunner, we don't know which group 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, men go gone men and not in more. so a big work for them to do going forward for security,

not just in north or the northeast, but also in the southwest. this can happen in a place like or war in on those states. lisa at chicago, my in that league are so reporting at foreign care. thank you so much. melissa. germany's economy minister robert topic has kicked off a 4 day tour of the middle east in tel aviv. mr. albert has held talks about renewable energy sources as well as the recent uptake in violence in the region. he also discussed possibly exporting gas from israel to europe. as germany tries to win itself off russian energy. germany's robert ha back says the talks have been constructive. both very intense and good discussion. we had a lot of issues. but mandy discussed the process of normalization with the erotic neighboring countries who are now getting to boot up a renewable infrastructure, for example, in job job and use that for dissemination of water. bring that water to israel and

john and explain to me how far away the plans for these projects on some space for european and german companies to step in. that was the germany's economy minister. robber topic did have a political correspond julia. so deli is traveling with him. oh 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 and 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 she 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 how big 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 habit made clear that that is not the goal of his trip because there is currently not enough is infrastructure to bring back gas from israel to europe. and by the time this infrastructure 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 our daily reporting very much. germany's railways are reporting a surge in passenger numbers. thanks to a new again, flat rate tickets. people can travel now nationwide over the summer for just 9 euros a month. thousands have crowned on to trains to tourist hotspots, including one north sea destination, usually favored by the wealthy. it's mid day and a packed regional train is arriving on the german holiday island of zillow. most of the passengers had straight into the center of the islands. main town is a little difficult of it as this reputation of being where the rich people live

down to now and they're annoyed that everyone's come in with a 9 year old ticket on. so i felt like i had to come for the people with a non, you're a ticket or here like the poor people to your job. while the main town is full of young people, just a few kilometers up the road is a well healed resort. most people here have travelled by car, but there are young people here too. in town, it's really awful, but here everything's the same as normal. for weeks, there's been anxiety in the air fears that zillow would be stormed by punks and left his groups. he called on their own line follow as to travel to the island. i was provoked, what we were told were not wanted here on, but we think we have the same right to be here as anyone else. and i was closer to the other on the mentioning it, so that's why we're here. we're just drinking beer and having fun on hanging out and listen to music or russian. when was it? live an image of the digger we'd never have thought to come preserves. if they

hadn't scream so loudly about not wanting us here. so then we thought we have to go on up on my trunks when you get the chance to travel result so cheaply, theoretically. and it's the rich. i'm a city like this long weekend. the rich island is hosting a more diverse crowd than usual, shopped your bottles, chris ian young, a little closer. i saw them at the train station from central 15 people drinking away more, but the only things clements hiding so well. so i have no problem with them because often you loiter. and while some may be concerned about the new visitors attracted by the discount rail ticket, others are simply enjoying the sea. now katara plans to reinstate a sculpture immortalizing french soccer stars in a teensy. dan's infamous head, but during the 2006 world cup fine up, the sculpture was removed because of objections in the conservative muslim state,
