i am evelyn shy, man, and i really think we need to talk about all the topics, the north divide and denied this. i have invited many deer and well known gas. and i would like to invite you to an end ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, boris johnson survived a confidence vote. the british prime minister, secure enough support from his fellow conservative to remain in office, but with a sizable number, refusing to back him for how long. also on the program, ukraine's president visit the front visits the frontline in don bass,

where he says, troops are holding out just by being outnumbered by russians. ah, am jared read? welcome to the program. british prime minister boris johnson has seen off a threat to his leadership and survived a confidence vote. johnson's own conservatives triggered the vibe because of scandals over lockdown parties that he attended during the pandemic. even though he did when a supportive majority, 40 percent of conservative lawmakers voted against boris johnson, leaving doubts about his leadership. a dramatic opening to the weak in westminster, conservative floor makers, caster ballots to decide whether prime minister boers johnson would remain party leader. to vote in favor of having confidence embarrass.

johnston's leader was 211 folks and a vote against was a 148 folks. and therefore, i cam announced parliamentary policy does have, ah, the result was smith was for leave among johnson supporters and a mass anger among the opposition. this evening the conservative party had a decision to mike to show some backbone or to back boris johnson. the british public off fed up fed up with a prime minister who promised his big but never delivers fed up with a prime minister who presided over a culture of lies on lawbreaking at the heart of government. johnson has so far been able to shrug off several scandals. but he has struggled to turn the page on the revelations that he and his staff repeatedly held al caufield parties,

but flowed at the cove at 19 restrictions they had imposed on others. with no clear frontrunner to succeed, johnson, most political observers had predicted he would defeat the challenge. so i think this is a, a very good result for, for politics and for over the country just in the future. so i do just in this sense, i think it's a convincing result, a decisive result of what it, what it means is that as a, as a government, we can move on and focus on the stuff i think really matters to people. but the rebellion represents of watershed moment and as a sign of deep conservative divisions. ok to break all this down for us now is d w's. katie stephen's, katie. hi there is this really as convincing and decisive a result. of course, johnson says it is, well, frankly not, i would say in fact, is the opposite. nearly 41 percent of his m p 's voted against him. so that's

really not insignificant. number johnson keep saying he wants to move on and, but he will be significant. we can do this is a leader who's optimism is a test from leader able to shrug off gas and scandals. but party, it seems to be the one that's really sticking. he just can't shake the image of being a rule maker who is breaking his own rules, holding boozy parties during covey. clock times when only voters couldn't even visit a dying relatives in hospital. and the civil service investigator has find that johnson must bear responsibility for failures of leadership and judgment. and he's also been fined by the police for attending a birthday party and 2020. so this has meant that many of his m. p 's now see him really more as a liability rather than as he previously was an electoral asset. and let's not forget his predecessor to resume one vote of confidence with a much higher margin than him. and she was forced to step down within 6 months. yeah, very interesting indeed. now katie johnson says the conservative party now needs to come together for the british people term he get the public behind him now. well,

that's going to be really an uphill battle. there's a huge amount of public anger over party gates. this idea that it's one move for them. and another rule for us. and just this weekend, morris johnson, as he was arriving at some post cathedral for a service to mark the queen's platinum jubilee, was met with jeers and booze from the crowd. the pose aren't looking good for him, either snapped survey. that was how just after this confidence vote was called, find that around 60 percent of people thought conservative should go to my to the party leadership. now this is the leader that lead the conservative to their biggest majority in decades just 3 years ago. so really a huge fall from grace for boys johnson a big fall from grace. what's likely to happen now, katie? well, he's technically safe for a year from another competence, although m. p could try to challenge that. he may simply try to limp on until the next general election, which is scheduled for 2020 for the moment. well, though he might find it increasingly difficult to govern with so many that and peas against him, another option would be to call us not election, but it's really not an ideal time for that. obviously with so much public anger and

also other challenges that he's facing now. the huge cost of living crisis in the u . k. soaring food and fuel prices where he just stagnating and other other challenges as well for his government. so we'll have to see if he does decide to try on. he still subject to upon a mentoring inquiry into whether he misled the house of commons over party gate. if he's found that he did do that, that's also seen as a resigning matter that we've seen before by johnson who's been a leader who's held on long after many other prime ministers probably would have quit. so we'll have to wait and see. we certainly will. that's d w katie stephens, breaking down burst johnson survival of a confident katie. thank you. now, to the latest developments in the war in ukraine, president flood him is lensky says he's country's troops are out numbered by russian forces in the battle for the sea, buried on netscape, according to the lensky, the ukrainians are holding out. but the cities being fought for street by street, russia has concentrated its resources into capturing several on its as it seeks to

seize control of the 8th and don bass region. a village near the frontline in dunbar, russian mythos strike. an elderly woman was killed the latest victim in a war that has lost it over a 100 days and continues to think misery on the people of ukraine. cookie. i see how am i supposed to feel or might be lifted peacefully normally would st was peaceful if nothing here. well, you know nothing to, and yet they bombed us darker burden in the battle, city of several zone that ukraine claims to be pushing back russian troops. and moscow has confirmed that yet another of his generals was killed during your visit to the front. ukraine's president vladimir lansky has also been to the

frontlines and don buses, a risky move teresa morale of soldiers subjected to a relentless russian to re barrage the u. s. d, u k, and germany have moved to counter rush and fire power by pledging descent ukraine rocket launchers with a range of up to 18 kilometers russians, foreign minister, double down and the criminal defiant response to the boot. jim can only add the longer the range of weapons. yes, a lie. the further we will move the front line away from our territory bellini on which neo nazis couldn't threaten the russian federation in a war marked by russian set back and 50 crane resistance. it will be easy to back such words with action d, w. nick connelly is in the black sea port city of a death. here he told us earlier about the difficulties ukrainian forces on now up

against i think more than being out, man, they've been outgunned and that's in large part because those western weapons deliveries that ukraine has been asking for with ever greater intensity in recent weeks and months are just not getting there as fast as ukraine needs them to be there, obviously. but there's been an announcement recent days that britain would follow america's lead in sending those rocket launchers. but before they actually are trained, the ukrainian military is able to use those and they actually reached on bass. that still going to be a question of a few further weeks. so definitely a very difficult situation there. and we're getting reports of ukrainian commanders having to basically think twice before they use any shilling any basically ammunition, because even they have the equipment, they have the manpower, they just don't have that depth. and ammunition that the russians have, where the russians can use $5.00 to $10.00 or even more shells, the grains, everything about every single shot. that's a very difficult situation there. as for the actual situation, several minutes, we don't quite know how much of the city crystal controls reports night,

that the only control one industrial area on the edge of town. and this has been, some, has been predicted basic for weeks now. the ukraine would lose control the city. but for now ukraine still holding on to a bridge, evidence of it of live. nick connelly day fell to nigeria now where survivors, the deadly shooting at a catholic church had been describing what they experienced. dozens of worshippers were killed over the weekend when a group of gunmen opened fire during a service marking the christian hall the day of pentecost. police haven't yet released an official death toll ah religious celebration turned into a massacre. no one was spared. not even the children. the assault at saint francis catholic church unfolded during the morning pentecost service. only a few lucky parishioners managed to escape unharmed. i wrong was before that side fought down. do i sold money? i can move with this group is one up place i see in the wall.

to help us with the attack was in our city in the state of armando. it's a relatively peaceful region that's rarely targeted by gangs and as the mist extremists with nigeria battling a prolonged insurgency in the north. many are asking why the south was targeted. ah, but with the onto attackers still free churchgoers fear the terror could be taking a new direction. oh, it's been 2 weeks since the texas school massacre in which an 18 year old armed with an assault rifle gun down 19 children and 2 teaches people in the town of u valdez, grieving and still bearing the victims of the shooting that changed their community forever. our correspondent caroline eci. my went there and filed this report unless if we're little in this little town,
