properly, competently and seriously. health minister said g javin, meanwhile, has also quit concluding that he can no longer serve in a good conscience. or as johnson 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 at the appointment of a senior party official accused of sexual misconduct johnson. it 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 the d of your of water anya, shar from north on. yeah. 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 that 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 am, and in the wake of them came some resignation 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 trans leigh 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 boris 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 paci gate and which was a scandal run these drinks parties held by as johnson with his staff at downing

street when the country was knocked down. and he was breaking all of the rules that his own government had imposed. and, and those looked on parties cause huge public outrage. and they led to a vote of no confidence in parliament. and now johnson narrowly survived that vote about a month ago. and his cabinets 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. chris 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 had known 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 survival of this? well, the leader of the opposition labor parties already said this government is now collapsing, but it's actually not as straightforward as that. i mentioned the vote of no confidence against him. and 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't be forced out. if you were to go, he would have to resign. and that is what most britain seemed 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, maurice johnson is pretty thick skinned if not as a brazen and riding 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 sharpen or thank you so much for writing it down for us in the studio. will go now to the war in ukraine where russian shelling has hit
