8:02 pm
press in the middle of a crisis dotted the country, the better than a set list cost of notting dogs. lawmakers from johnson's own party, also lined up to say it was time for him to go for better. yes, including the man who until tuesday was his health minister. and at some point, we have to conclude that enough is enough. i have concluded that the progress starts at the top and i believe that is not going to change. and that's means that it is for those of us in a position who have responsibility to make that change. but the prime minister vowed to carry on a loan on the pipe. franklin interesting to the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when you handed a can also mandate, is the key knowing that a lot of it support for the prime minister is also draining away outside of parliament with british newspapers making clear they think his days are numbered
8:03 pm
according to the opinion polls the public has also turned on him with even a majority of conservative voters. now thinking he should quit done a good job on certain things. but, you know, he's, his character i think has shown through. please don't seem to know what they're doing and this arise. forces not to go. just price is still there. i really think he's, he's always now the counting the hours that sake. but with a bloody johnson vowing to battle on, it'll be up to his party to decide just how long he has left has come through this . and when i dw cars, wanted berg at mass, who joins us out from the u. k. and our british politics and mr. alex forest whiting. welcome both. let's start with you. barbara massey at the prime minister has had a busy day inside and outside the parliamentary a chamber he has and it's almost as though he is living in
8:04 pm
a parallel universe fil, he keeps repeating. and after this parliamentary session that you were reporting on earlier, there was another session where he kept repeating that he wants to go on with the job. he still wants to be a prime minister tomorrow, and he wants to keep doing his job. on the other hand, it seems like there's almost nobody left to wants to do this job with him. it's a very fast moving situation. cabinet ministers, junior ministers, calling on him to resign. we've had reports that even not him. so harvey, who, he's only recently yesterday, been appointed as chancellor is, is one of those we're urging him to resign. so it's very difficult to imagine that he can actually stay on alex for his wife. and we have been here before, mr. johnson that has survived no covenant vote called by his own conservative law makers just a month ago. so if they do want him to go, what other options? yeah, you're right, phil and, and the actual official roles are that they would have to wait another 11 months
8:05 pm
before they can have another vote. but because things are in such turmoil a we know that the committee of conservative m. p 's who would potentially force that vote, are going to have an election themselves on monday, where they will elect new people to the role and could then change the rules. now that will give forest johnson a bit of breathing space. if he doesn't go to night, if he doesn't go tomorrow even doesn't go on friday. i think it's not looking great for him as a big it is just talked about and that there are ministers cabinet ministers, his very own top team in downing street with him at the moment, having a conversation with him. so everything is to play for the moment, many, many of his own, m, p 's won't or is johnson out, but at the moment he is still clinging on the book mass. it's easy amid all this, this is talk of reservations on what not to to think that virus. johnston's days are numbered, but this is a prime minister who less than 2 years ago,
8:06 pm
led his party to its biggest election victory for decades. how was his popularity with the public holding up? phill, i'm in northern ireland and i've spoken to people here who are actually very supportive of boris johnson. they liked breck said the people i've been talking to though, like how he was handling the pen. the americans particular the vaccination, also his dance on ukraine, but they do say that was probably one lie too many. so they do think that there is an issue with trust. there is an issue with integrity and that i think is reflected in the polls. his popularity rate ratings with the british public are really rock bottom is personal popularity, ratings are, are, are down and in the miners. so majority of conservative voters and voters are at large think he should resign. so he is not the vote winner that he used to be. he
8:07 pm
was somebody who reached out to parts of the ridge. electra that conservative party hasn't been able, hadn't been able to reach out before. but at the moment it doesn't look like he could pull off that again. so what do you think robert alex, for watching mr. johnson's to have political arbitrary has been written more than once before. is he and this is a man who will, who has said repeatedly, i'm going nowhere, i'm going to push on. so what do you think? will he resign? yeah, i mean, he and it does not want to go. it's almost like his big it said he is living in a parent parallel universe and he will do everything to cling on and he does still have his support is including within cabinets at the top team around him. but just look at the numbers. 36 ministers of the past past 24 hours have quit his government. we've already had this no confidence vote last month where 141 percent of his own party voted against him. he's got so many people against him. he may want to continue. he may have the real cool group still behind him,
8:08 pm
but can he carry on willie, have a government and that i think is what's happening at the moment in an downing street with these cabinet ministers. they're telling him he's got to go. another group will probably tell him he shouldn't go, but i have to say the question is, when will it be tonight? will it be next week? i'm sorry, but there i think for him, the game is up, the deal is done. he will be out. it may not be now, but it will be in the next few days. i will be very surprised if he can continue in place as prime minister over the next few days. i've caught it now there you go. british politics allister alex forrester. why think thank you. the d w a u k. a correspondent berg mass. thank you as well. i was turn our attention to the war in ukraine, our defense forces. they're preparing for ground assault by russian troops. and that done yet, industrial region in the east of the country, the local governor says there is now no safe place left on his urging the remaining
