he 90 minutes w ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, boris johnson survives a confidence vote. the british prime minister secured with enough support from his fellow conservatives to remain in office with a sizable number, refusing to back him for exactly how long. also on the program, president lensky says, ukraine's troops are out numbered. but holding out in severe dawn it's, it's one of several key battle browns in the eastern don,

vast region where russia's fighting to take control. ah, i'm jared read. welcome to the program. british prime minister boris johnson, has seen off a threat to his leadership and survive to confidence vote. johnson's own conservatives triggered the vote because of scandals over lockdown parties that he attended during the pandemic. even though he did when the support of a majority, about 40 percent of conservative lawmakers voted against boris johnson, leaving doubts about his leadership. a dramatic opening to the week in westminster, conservative lawmakers cast ballots to decide whether prime minister bars johnson would remain party leader. vote in favor of having confidence in boris johnson's leader was 211 folks and

a vote against was onward and 48 votes. and therefore i cam amounts to parliamentary policy. does have ah, the result was met with relieve among johnson's supporters and unmasked anger. among the opposition this evening, the conservative party had a decision to make, to show some backbone or to back boris johnson. the british public cough set up, set up with a prime minister who promises big, but never delivers. fed up with a prime minister who's presided over a culture of lies a law breaking at the hearts of government. johnson has so far been able to shrug off several scandals. but he has struggled to turn the page on revelations that he and his staff repeatedly held al caulfield parties that flouted 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 a, for 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 to break all this down now is d w's. katie stephen c, with me in the studio. katie hi, is this really as convincing decisive are result is, boris johnson is saying it is, well, frankly, no. in fact, i'd go as far to say it's the opposite. 41 percent of his m. p. 's voted against

him. and that's worse than many expected. and for all his talk of wanting to move on, now he is going to be significantly weakened by this. this is the man who's not been seen as a teflon leader who could shake off gas and scandals. but party gates seems to be the one that's really sticking. and boris johnson just can't seem to shake this image of being the room maker was breaking his own rules in those coven locked eyes holding boozy parties. while ordinary members of the public weren't even allowed to visit their dying relatives in hospital. now a civil service investigation found that johnson had to take responsibility for failures of leadership and judgment. he was even find by the police. and now it seems that a growing number of his own m. p 's, have lost confidence and see him more as a liability rather than the electoral asset that he once was. now that's remember his predecessor to resume a few years ago. she survived the confidence boat with a much higher margin than this, and even then she was still forced to step down within 6 months. yeah. it's,

it's just so interesting, particularly when you look bracket tourism, as you say. now, boris johnson, katie says he says the conservative party needs to come together for the british people. so can he get the public behind him now? well, that's definitely going to be an uphill battle. there's a huge amount of public anger over party gate, and i think a large proportion of the public really nice u. s. government as one rule for them and another all for us. and just this we can borrow johnson when he was attending jubilee celebrations for the queen. he was booed and jeered by the crowd as he arrived. and the pose aren't looking good for him either a snap survey that was carried out just before this confidence vote. find that 60 percent of people thought the conservatives should vote for shots and out of the party leadership. now let's amend that. this is a man who just 3 years ago, let the conservatives to their strongest biggest majority in decades. so it's really a big fall from grace for the prime minister. it is a very big fall from grace keeping in mind though, that he has won this confidence void. what's, what's likely to happen? no. well, he's technically safe from another confidence vote for

a year. of course he could just choose to resign, but we're seeing no signs of that. and his allies are insisting that he's going to stay in office. another option would be to hold a snap election. barstow and hasn't rolled that out but he said he's not interested in doing so so, so not a great time for an election as well as this high public hang over party game. there's also a very dire cost of living crisis in the u. k. with soaring food and fuel prices, and many families struggling to make ends meet. so parsons may just choose to hold on until the next schedule general election at the moment in 2024. even if he does choose to do that, he is likely to find it increasingly difficult to govern with so much anger among his m. p. 's not only as a party game, but also other issues like post breaks it, trading rules in northern ireland. so whatever bar something decides to do next, it looks like probably more storm clouds ahead. yeah. we'll have to really wait and see what his next move is. that t w's katie's stevens. talking about pros, johnson's survival of confidence, folk. casey, thank you very much. let's move on now to the latest developments in the war in
