ropes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive history. but to submit to so this week on d w. ah, ah ah, this is did all the news, the wire from berlin, the future of british prime minister, boris johnson, us suddenly in doubt to senior ministers of resign, saying they can no longer in good conscience. the part of johnson's government. also coming up on the show, russia is increasing its attacks in eastern ukraine. cities and internet come under

constant shelling and residents of the city of soviet are told to evacuate. plus italy grapples with its worst drought in 70 years. water levels have dropped to record of lows. farmers are sounding the alarm and meteorologists morning. this is just the beginning. ah. hello, i'm clear. richardson, thanks for joining us. british prime minister boris johnson is clinging to power after the shock resignations of 2 of his most senior ministers finance minister richey soon act has gone, saying the public expects government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. help minister. i did it. sergeant job, meanwhile, has also quit, including that he can no longer serve in good conscience. no more. it has faced

a series of scandals over parties held at his official residence during the national cove at 19 lockdown. his latest troubles are over the appointment of a senior party official accused of sexual misconduct. johnson now admits that was an error of judgement. yes, i think it was a mistake and i apologize for, for it. i think in hindsight it was the wrong thing to do apologize to everybody who's been badly affected. so let's dig into this with a deal here. what are anya sharper north on you? how serious are these resignations for boris johnson? well, i think there's no denying that this is pretty bad for the prime minister. i mean, 2 of his most senior ministers resigning the it's the health minister and the finance minister chancellor is called in britain and the chancellor in britain really is the 2nd most important government position after the prime minister himself. so these are very serious resignations, m, and in the wake of them came some resignations from more junior ministers as well.

so it seems like there's some momentum to this. but having said that, boris doesn't still seems to have the backing of his cabinet. his other ministers have come out to say they support him and he has already appointed a new chancellor and, and his other cabinet ministers have been coming in and out of downing street tonight, presumably to sort of thrash out some way out of this crisis. okay, so these resignations having a ripple effect, of course not the 1st time that boys johnson has been in trouble as many of our viewers remember he's been involved in various scandals over the past couple of years. why now, are we seeing these resignations 8 o'clock? i think, i mean, we will remember the most recent one party gate and which was a scandal run these dreams parties held by boys johnson with his staff at downing street when the country was knocked down. and he was breaking all of the rules to his own government had imposed and, and those looked on par cause should public outrage and they lead to

a vote of no confidence in parliament. and now johnson narrowly survived that vote about a month ago. and his cabinet stood by him at the time, but this latest scandal really just seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back. and i mean, he's voice. johnson said at 1st that he didn't know about these allegations of sexual misconduct against this conservative m. p. cris pincher, we just heard of there and he then it became clear and clear. he must have known about them. he can, he ended up emitting, he hadn't but he had forgotten then going on to say, we just heard him talk. there was an error of judgement and so this is just another incident of him blatantly lying and showing no contrition and really putting i suppose the did the integrity of the party in danger. so any of the big question, of course is, can, or johnson survive all of this? well, the leader of the opposition labor parties already said this government is now collapsing, but is actually not as straightforward as that. i mentioned the vote of no

confidence against him about a month ago. and the rules mean that he is now safe from another vote of no confidence for a whole year. so you can be forced out. if you were to go, he would have to resign, and that is what most britain seem to want him to do. there was a pole conducted just after these resignations happened, and 69 percent of britons say they want him to now step down. but we all know by now, or is johnson is pretty thick skinned if not just a brazen in writing out the storm. so it's really about how much pressure he will be getting from within his own party, behind the scenes for him to step down. and that will become clear within the next few days, i report on your shopping or thank you so much for writing that down for us in the studio. let's bring up to speed now with the latest on the war in ukraine or russia is stepping up. it's a tax on cities in the eastern it done. jeanette's region, ukrainian forces are regrouping,

but the local governor says there is no safe place left. as many residents are leaving their home in fear of a full scale russian offensive. earlier dw spoke with new off. it's if both got an advisor to the ukranian government, and we asked her about russia victory in eastern ukraine. i think that victory in russia victory, lugens can finance. it's, you know, maybe we lost a bottle, but not the were the now conducting descending operations. and basically we need to go. busy offensive, and we need to get more weapons and that's what we expect to, to get from our western elyse. russia currently managed to get see better than he has got loose a chance, as you said. and believe me, after a few months of very had be very hot thought. com but to get just this small 2

important message. one that the government, as well as the people of italy, seemed to be heating well, earlier meteorologist alexander to may spoke to us from northern italy to tell us more about the impact of the drought did result of the shorts of rain test is that the accumulated volume washington big makes like a made my jewel an acre is live in the 50 percent my compared to the average last 15 years. moreover, the snow fall has also been to no record of the last 15 years impacting, devote the ice in glaciers and therefore to glacial con, smaller and smaller. as some of the smaller glaciers might disappear completely as her earlier to draw the impact over conditions result and full rise, then the produce of electricity by hydro, electric power plant is down by about 50 percent due to the solar water. also

giving the avalanche such destructive force. this feel if he, li, masser to massive amounts of water acted like a lubricant accelerating it. it happened just so quickly that any one below wouldn't have had a chance to get out of the way. if it had been a dry ice avalanche, perhaps they might have stood a chance to rescue operations are facing extremely difficult conditions. so far the search has been limited to overflights by helicopters and drones, due to lingering danger of falling ice and boulders, volunteers, and their dogs have been retrieved from the glacier. and they go to somebody about this. we were met with an almost impossible task block because there are massive blocks of ice and rock everywhere else was present. we had to leave because the temperatures are rising again. and we don't want to risk it out. it. italian prime minister mario druggie traveled to canada to express his condolence to the families of the victims. he also looked to the future. we have to take all the
