quit his government in just the last couple of days over a series of scandals. johnson says being prime minister is the best job in the world and he says it's not over. or just yet he's planning to cling on to power until his party name's a successor. a moment long delayed, finally becomes unavoidable. good afternoon everybody. it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party in that for a new prime minister. and i agree with the grand brady, the chairman of our back bench mpg, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now without saying resign, johnson said he would stay on until a new leader is in place. he lamented his conservative colleagues. eccentric push to change, prime minister amid economic challenges, but as we seen at westminster,

the heard instinct is powerful when the heard moves. it moves, and my friends in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. watched by his wife and staff, johnson recalled his landslide election when in 2019 his completion of briggs and passage through the corona virus pandemic. i know that there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite if you will also be disappointed. and i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world that them the brakes. thank you very much. johnson's speech close as one chapter, but opens the door to a period of political uncertainty, the opposition and some in his own party say he should leave office immediately in his to go completely. none of this nonsense about clicking on for a few months. his inflicted life fraud and chaos in the country. and you know, we're stuck with

a bunch of the government which isn't functioning in the middle of a cost of living crisis. but johnson has made a career of hanging on to power and wriggling out of trouble. i've developed moral his careless stature. the pandemic saw him hospitalized with cove at 19 a system. he survived that and later outrage at parties held in his office during lockdown. booze from the public at the queen's jubilee in early june were followed by a vote of confidence in parliament which he won, but was left damaged and missed. the tipping point came after revelations about sexual misconduct within his party, leading to high level ministerial resignations. johnson remain defiance. franklin interesting to the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when he handed to cancel mad. it's vicky no only for so long after quitting his conservative party leader,

the clock is now ticking on johnson's period as prime minister. when johnson is saying he'll go, but only when a successor is ready and waiting. i asked for london corresponded. dear good march where things go from here? well yes, he is still prime minister. he is even appointed a new cabinet who have agreed to keep him until a new party leader is elected. so this is what we're looking at now. the conservative party needs to decide, in what way they are going to elect a new leader, and also how long that will take. will it be? days will be weeks, will it be months for the moment? for us, johnson is still prime minister, and there are many people, even in his own part. you think you should go sooner rather than later, but he is still there or who are the front runners to succeed him? is there a, a favorite beginning to emerge? a long time favorite for the party active is the conservative party activists has

been been wallace. he's the defense secretary and he's kind of the opposite of bras . johnson, at least he seems the opposite from, from the outside. he's not flashy at all. he's somebody who's on the reputation as being competent, particularly during the ukrainian crisis. so he's somebody that for many months the conservative base aah! who is ultimately going to be choosing the party leader? he has a he has been of a clear front runner for them. however, i think for the general public it's, it's not so it's not too clear, there are others in the race. there's reaches sooner. for example, who was bryce johnson's chancellor and those nist trust the front secretary. she's made clear that she sees herself and the tradition of margaret thatcher as she had photos of herself, and the tanka touched her style, say so. there are several others who are also hoping to become prime minister,

either bigger boys. johnson's political obituary has been written many times, but it appears that this is the fatal point in his political resume. talked toggled through this scandal. why was this scandal the one that did amend it was just one. lie to many as it seems, brent it's, it's, it's not the 1st time that boys johnson was accused of of not telling the truth, but it just comes after after these photos that showed him during locked down your drinking with his colleagues. that really was very, very many british people are very, almost disgusted. i would say by that by the parties that went on in downing street and that he knew off and or participated in. but the latest scandal was maybe in itself. it doesn't seem like such a big scanner, but it was just the fact that boys johnson hadn't come clear of what he knew. it

was another m p who has faced allegations of sexual misconduct and bras. johnson was question what he knew about his allegations when he appointed him to a major role in the political party. and he said he didn't know. and then he had to correct himself and had to admit that actually it did know that there was even an investigation in the foreign office. so he didn't tell the truth. and that for, for many conservative m. p 's just showed a day that there was a problem with his integrity. and also it showed his parliamentary colleagues that are, that he was just not the one that they want it to lead the party into the next election . he's not been seen as the vote when that he once was dead, can make all the difference figured. martin london is always very good. thank you. where is this delayed departure? a ploy to stay in power? is there still a way back for johnson i asked. quinton peel with the london think tank. chatham house. no, i don't think there is,

but it's typical johnson to sort of somewhat muddy the waters, the whole manner of his departure, the way that in the end he's almost really being dragged, kicking and screaming out of dining street. and the ear was because you had this hemorrhaging of ministers of from his government. he really was left with no government that could be cold that. and he, he really had to go. but having said that, he's not coming quickly. and it's really annoying, quite a lot of his back benches, who come out and said, look, you'll doing us as a party, far more damage than a by leaving in it in ex swift and decent manner. and i think they're angry about what will, how can he stay on didn't i mean, the term here is caretaker, prime minister, but considering boars, johnson's pass it, it's hard to imagine him taking care of business the way that his fellow

conservatives want him to take care of business, i mean, how is he going to get a business duck? well, i don't think he will get much business done and therefore it's pretty urgent that they find a successor to him as leader of the conservative party. it more quickly than slowly and again to perhaps try and accelerate the process. but there's a real problem with that because as, as you were discussing earlier and there actually is no very obvious candidate for the succession. there are a, till 10 people in the running at then, and it may take a little time to sort them all out. so having said that, technically, johnson is doing the correct thing by saying the has to be a prime minister, and they can't be a new prime minister until as a new conservative party leader. because the conservative party still has a very substantial majority in parliament. i heard in the united states earlier

today, the comparison made donald trump now, boris johnson. is this the beginning of the end of some sort of trans atlantic populism that we've seen in recent years? yes, i don't think it's really worked out for the conservative party because johnson has given it a bad name. just the very fact that you call it populism, which is in many ways. right. johnson is an entertainer of the digital age. he amuses people, he makes them laugh, but when you're up against very serious problems like cove, it like the damage that breaks it is doing to the country like ukraine. joking about these things doesn't go down well with people and what's really annoyed people. i think both within the conservative party and among old re, electors,

is the perception that he's not honest. and that he doesn't tell the truth. and he doesn't have a clear moral compass. he doesn't regards a bit of sexual harassment or a bits of corruption as very serious. so he sort of tries to forgive people very quickly and then he pretends that he didn't know about it. and then he gets other people to go out and defend him. and then he changes the story. that's what's really annoyed people. quinn pill with enchant amount is always quit. we appreciate your time and your valuable insights to night. thank you. i went out to the latest on the more in ukraine keeps forces claimed every captured snake island in the black sea and raised the national flag. russia says it retaliated with missile strikes on the outpost ukrainian, president to lensky to day welcomed extra fire power of weapons supplied by western allies in the battle against russia. but moscow says it will step up its assault on

the eastern dawn. best reach the blue and yellow of ukraine flies above sneak island. once again, it appears this tiny strip of land became in famous after the outbreak of the wall . after ukrainian soldiers rejected an ultimatum from a russian warship. the claim recapture of the island comes a week after russia withdrew in what moscow called goodwill gesture. but that goodwill did not last long. all gonna be good about life a. m several ukrainian service man landed on the island and took pictures with a flag. little russian forces immediately launched a strike as a result of which some of their ukrainian soldiers that were killed. look here correctly, one of worship will orange. those alone snake island sits a long way from the brunt of the fighting. still centered on the dawn boss to the east. here russia ground assault has slowed its forces or

regrouping. after taking melissa jones, i had of an unexpected assault on the done yet korean. but the face of difficult road ahead as ukrainian troops reinforced defensive positions with western weapons that is to be july efficient, usable. finally, we can feel that the western artillery, the weapons we received from our partners, have started working very effectively yet the accuracy is exactly what is needed. losing our defenders inflict very noticeable strikes on depots and other locations that are important for the occupiers logistics. and this significantly reduces the offensive potential of the russian army sport. their losses will only increase every week as will the difficulty of supplying them. despite the brief pause in russia's advance, missiles are still bombarding the key cities of slogans and crumb adults. for the

civilians who remain here the front lines anal, creeping dangerously close need of evening. spicer is in the ukrainian capital and i asked him about the capture and reported recapture of snake island is pretty murphy. brent, you know, the cumberland is communicating, i think symbolically here saying that they killed some ukrainian soldiers while they tried to plant the flag. the ukrainian defense ministry has provided video of the planting of the flag that the kremlin has made all kinds of claims before, rather implausible. for example, they took out a whole cadre of ukrainian generals and commanders in one fell swoop, and 10 of those m triple 7 american howitzers in the same strike. and we know they have some targeting problems. and so there is a messaging from the kremlin, which is for a domestic audience that doesn't necessarily correspond to the facts on the ground

. and i think it's fair to say that because there's no video evidence provided there's all kinds of video, but everything in, in this conflict. but i think is really the takeaway here is that the kremlin c snake on and is something really symbolic. because as we heard in that report, it was where the soldiers held out, acted defiantly towards a russian warship, which was the moskva, the flagship of the russian. black sea fleet, which was sunk by ukrainian miss heil a little bit later. so there's a lot of wild shame or embarrassment around the snake island story if you will. and so the kremlin seems to be coming back and trying to sorta put a new spin on events. and nick, we've heard ukrainian president zalinski talking about the positive effect that western heavy weapons are happy. is it clear though, that these weapons are making a big difference? you know, again, there's the fog of war. nobody is really providing exact details about what weapons are deployed,

where and which targets they are striking. but we know what weapons they are being sent out into the field, particularly for american high mars mo bile rocket systems. and just if you look at a specifics of them, those missiles are accurate within one meter with the ukrainians. and the russians have been firing at each up until now are accurate to within 500 meters, which explains the scorched earth policies of the russians have been pursuing to this point what it means practically, from the ukrainians. and this reflects what president. so as he was saying in his statement, is that if they want to strike a weapons depot, which is what they, what he's been saying, they're trying to do, they can take out all of the artillery shells are many, they're tillery shells that the russians have been using in, in their scorched earth, sort of, you know, rolling ways of, of artillery barrage strategy. so it is entirely plausible that they are having an effect. they're not having all of the effect of ukrainians would like they're still asking for more weapons. we, they're slow and getting delivered, but they appear to be making

a difference. certainly if we go by what the ukranian president is saying, he's being spiteful with the latest from keith to night. nick, thank you. and here's a quick look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the american basketball star brittany griner has pleaded guilty in a russian court to drug charges. the 2 time olympic gold medalist or was detained at a moscow airport back in february authority, se vape canisters containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage. so cold as womic state has claimed responsibility for a raid on a prison in the nigerian capital, a boucher police are searching for about 400 inmates who were still on the run. official se militants used explosives to free their fellow g hondas. the hollywood actor james con, has died at the age of 82. he was best known for his role as sonny girl leoni in

a year. and special arrangements have been made at the court to accommodate the large number of people in the public gallery. his subject, unit, dahlia garza, the crystal depot, as far as i know, a case like this has never been seen initially, especially as far as the consequences. and the number of victims are concerned that a lot of the unity they called the prosecution is pursuing charges of manslaughter due to the collapse of the bridge. and also a series of violations regarding the maintenance of the bridge that led to the fall of the structural, blah, blah, blah carianne's or the mental dense you inevitable. or dr. boyar corolla, the lester, dora. it's not just the fan of the dead seeking justice in this trial. there are people who say they lost income because of the bridge is collapse and they want to be compensated. this neighborhood board is the sides of way the bridge collapsed and the locals here have told me it was a real nightmare getting in and around the area in the aftermath of that accident.

as a result, some businesses were forced to close. many of them have never come back. the mirandi bridge was taken down and replaced by this new one, which was opened 2 years ago. while others have moved on. edna apasetti says she hopes he'll get some closure when the trial is over. around a 1000000 muslim pilgrims are visiting mecca in the 1st opened hodge pilgrimage in 2 years during the corolla virus pandemic access was limited to saul the residence . no. according to the qur'an, all muslims who are able have to go to the hodge at least once in their lifetime. at islam most sacred site, the crowds of finally back off to 2 years without pilgrims from abroad, the hatch is getting back to normal. but while mosques and social distancing are
