the british bottom of 5 minutes about his johnson resign from parliament last week and on to the patient. my dining report into his conduct during the cove had locked down the report from the powerful house of commons privileges committee was released today and they didn't pull the punches. despite having a majority of conservative m pays, a committee found that the conserves a full my premier, had lied to parliament about pauses, a 10, downing street jordan coby lockdown, and tried to intimidate those, investigating him from prime minister at less than a year ago to back branch and pay to persona non grata empowerment artist jobs is full is now complete. for now at least i'm feel gaily validate and this is the day, the moist johnson he's not on the law breakable the lion is not fit to public health

based on his disgrace. himself suddenly to another license to begin with. and now i just don't like to just show it to him again. how much of a food? here's boris johnson lied. he lied to em. peace. he lots of people at this country. it's quite clear that he misled paul, i'm a, this is a mad to use a serial. like i said, the history of the sign is josh epic, i think was not so today. and i haven't read the evidence is whether or not he knowingly misled problem. welcome to the day they fall from grace of a former bridge, 5 minutes of bodies, johnson god, it's official sale. today with a diamond report from a powerful parliamentary committee, the house of commons privileges committee found that mister johnson deliberately and repeatedly misled parliament. that's a polite way of se inside the building to take say, i make said the 1st british prime minister,

i found to apply it to parliament elements and taken mister johnson to task over a series of parties. he attended during the code of lockdown masses report said of the greatest importance to the house and to the public and about which he'd like to deliberately and repeatedly. mister joseph's allies have criticized the reports has been taken care of. and i will get that chance to oppose it by that piece. vote on it next monday. the other. so the fault lies with none other than alexander, far as the faithful johnson or truces. he is donkey's own home and this is the result of his own actions. and i'm afraid it's entirely of a piece of the way he's behaved over long periods of this is a man who is a serial liar i. the history of his line is just epic. and so, i'm afraid, will he did it for dispatch folks in the house of commons when he was offering questions is full of the peace with his normal behavior wasn't the privileges

commit is pretty down the, you know, it's serious 1st, johnson is not only a law breakable it a lie, a he's not fit for public office, and he's disgraced himself and continues to act like a, you know, pounds shop trump in the way in which he tries to describe it. and he bought a few criticizes, these actions was actually a decent public servant who just on the, on the bull thing. what about the little bit of the military? i'm going to apologize for the british public for what they put them 1st. tim gibbons is a journalist who was in brussels when mr. johnson was also there, coughing and actually is career as a europe bashing journalist for one of britain's most euro skeptic, natural years, papers welcome to the dublin here. let's start with the idea of what has happened today. the british parliament still has to vote on the committees of findings. mister johnson's conservatives still have a 60 feet working majority. so are they likely to vote to save them that? no, i don't think they will. and i think they realize that the, they go to a dead mountain basically,

and place they come do anything to say to each finished. i hope so. certainly from his record in brussels when he was there as a, as a journalist and, and as a politician, he was never really very effective. i have to say the committee had a conservative majority and, and a large part of britain's routing, conservative government. oh, is it some apollo? mentoring majority too far? is johnson so why they turned their backs on him or the turn the backs on him because he's been shown to be less than tied to so. so we say, i mean, years ago i was walking across the pass out in brussel as soon as a set price the to your being parliament buildings. and i was actually going to do an a do for the interval of lit up on the other side of the castle. they're all there was i was waiting for the bbc who was his sister in law and morris jones. he was in the middle of doing an interview because the bbc camera rolling,

laura's don't to vote golf, turned dead. oh, interrupted the the, the interview broke it up in fact and said, beautiful day is a did. and she, she stopped to do the interview work across the window and came back and said, i does have to check if it's true bars because you'll such as i uh, okay. so let's say you've obviously then seen the man and his methods at work during your shed time, that as a journalist at the a you've had courses, i'm so it sounds like you don't find it at all surprising that he's been declared a life. i know, and i said to me, he always has the and everyone knew he was, they all said was that there were people, there was so comes of a day then i mean right wing conservative that they were quite prepared to build up with these bits of peccadilloes, andes altered seas. he bought some to always. and i'm kind of mad. i, i'm the one time when i was mainly freelancing for local, regional television in the u. k. and i had a problem with

a young man who turned up and started asking me what the stories were in the morning. when i told him i found out later that his phone might client stations and off with a couple of them, but less money than i could borrow, as johnson suggested it upon next to the commission. but it started off as a he was for my tv and tell the man to go to go to moscow and we had sold here when he got there. i couldn't even do that. i mean, oh, right. i didn't like the chapel was doing, but i couldn't have left him stranded in most go both so that will be the various jape. okay, so he's resigned. he resigned last week. um uh, based reports into his misleading of parliament was published this morning on his gun. does any of it's really master? i don't. i don't know. it's very hard to tell at this point. he certainly had a very negative effect on government and on, on parliament i think too. and the, and the certainly only conservative party because there are now lots of people who

did vote for him because it's a big, tough that a business to sort of trump type of support. you know, he's east a tough guy in charge, but they realize that he's, he's really got a fee to play is, is eat, he's not really all the he said he wouldn't be easy. is elia he's in the store? it's the truth. he always tries to make himself come out looking good. and the fact is that he's made a complaint against one of the conservative empties. for the same reason, the chap said that he was complaining of a lot of students and attending these bodies, what he was the to which means that he wasn't the night video organize the policy, but merely that one of the men who attended it was complaining about him right, so a couple of his supporters have now also resigned from parliament at triggering by elections and causing headaches for a potty. but mr. johnson as press professed to love. so all we now go should say,

weeks of, of this conservative government turning itself apart, while britain just one does a bridge. people just one that will how we're going to power electricity bills that we're going to deal with this cost of living crisis. i think it could be weeks, i hope it wouldn't be, but the johnson himself wouldn't care about that. he's only interested in preserving himself freely. he's not interested in the effect that his resignation might have. our order rebuilt has any he's still saying the very long ago that he would stand again and re smoke with a man that he's just given a night to do this thing. a. he'll be back one day and i'll be back in jail. hundreds of on do i just can't see that happening. i don't see how a man can goes sofa back down the road and still come back to the leadership. i just don't possible. i'll surely control it here. thank you so much for joining us at. john is that jim gibbons? oh, my pleasure. thank you. the

new york times is reporting that the bible administration is close to reaching an informal deal with terry rock limits iran's nuclear program. and this comes as a result of, i'm going to accept following the breakdown of attempts to restart the 2015 iran nuclear deal, which so to run agree to limits its a nuclear program in return for relief from international sanctions. united states walked away from that deal during the trump presidency with these ladies chokes, us had to include the us around and israel, the paper quoted to drive the officials are saying that there was a minute drive the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and was constantly wanting to the threat posed by iraq's new to him program areas speaking in jerusalem this week, following discussions with us secretary of state and to me banking facility that gosh, i emphasized that will consistent positions because

a lot returns and you can, i agreement with iran will not stop here brands and you could have program will just allow it around to direct money, even large amounts of money to the terrorist organizations that operates under its sponsorship in the middle east and the round these rails boulders. i emphasize that no agreement with iran would find these rail ways all without an agreement. we will continue to do everything necessary to protect the state of israel. i see if we can get into this with a wall street journal correspondence of lawrence norman, who covers the around new issue. welcome to the w. and what do we know about these talks between the us iran and israel? 6. yeah. so that was, she generally were closer than say, um 1st yesterday, but that to have that been discussions, we should be a little careful is what it is, not part of these discussions. the writing has been so it was the rise. and these rallies, dangers via writings, discussions of really being between the us and a rod, and they'd be mediated mainly by a mon um and they have being

a balance away to cool tensions between the us and the ron. and there are whole. but for those tensions from a folk fee running great attacking american citizens in the nursing soldiers in the middle east, $2.00 wrongs, new programs and to around support for russia in the war against ukraine. so the idea here is to get to a point with some of these tensions a cold and, and diplomacy can be dialed up, right? so it does this way that the 2015 tail is now just dead an, an unfinished. and now this is, this was a temporary fix. so uh yeah, this would very much be a temporary, not just a temporary fix, but a small fix onto the agreement. uh, if this comes together the, the,

the favorite praises myself is, is, is that the new said deal. it's time to time. it's not quite dead. and then there is a prospect in the future that it could be pros, bank, but when we're talking about, yeah, essentially is the us providing money to the iranians that is compelling the docs off on the us sanctions and in exchange, around taking some de escalate respect that would include not attacking americans in the middle east. it would also include one that a very additional days, the new for you active it to the new to the work that iran has been doing either the cuz last couple of years this, he buys the situation. i'm not in a short time over the summer. that's what they're trying to do is that succeeds, there's a little bit of a window of opportunity, the boat and that out, and maybe to even see if they can restore rescue the new kid. do the testing 1st.

it needs to be a last thing. the escalation, that is, all these tools have been aimed doing. but let's just have a closer look at a couple of those reports and concessions, for instance, around to enrich uranium to 60 percent, instead of 90 percent. explain to us how that differs from the 2015 deal and why it matches. or yeah, we'll do is do a drawings on the new york times or both. and i will draw a matter of both of you on this and well, the deal, as we understand it actually says is the wrong would not be able to increase it. so file, a 60 percent, which is funny and right, you're right there on is the only country in the world that does not have nuclear weapons. that is producing 60 percent by the image, right? this do would say entitled producing it, but if you do, you have to turn it into a week of phone. you can increase your so called a 60 to say,

how does that differ from the j b o. i indicate feel massively the j p o, i put a limit. the 3 i said the wrong can only produce 300 kilograms of uranium that you've reached at 3.67 percent. very low rate, very often. but it's great. iran is now 60 percent us officials and said he would take them 12 days to take this the pile that the, the amount of enrich arriving. they've produced a 114 kilograms, and turn it into weapons, grade material and then know, but at least you need their weapons. it would say in 12 days they need to do less than a room way away, having no pics home to to meet the appeal for your website right now that very close to a matter of days. so that's how far we come about it and stabilize it where it is

and know what then you can begin to build a gland to see and, and, and hopefully, that spend some time either this is a pensions and less than it is correct. another element to is this, this idea of it a run doesn't provide ballistic missiles to russia, which i guess means that the bad bad to problems now infamous a kamikaze drones will still be going yeah, yeah. i hate to make that point. i hate some, it just went too much. but again, i know it was easier. jennifer, both the we reported this story for us and i might just go there a little bit different than that. well, what is being said to us is that it clearly reduces the political space that any kind of dealing with a wrong, as long as iran is helping russia. and it's, it's a war of aggression against ukraine. so the more that they do,

the more difficult it becomes in congress to, to work with the iranians to have size, productive dependency width of with a wrong. now what i've been told is i didn't know the right it linked to these efforts to get folks going. above the renters have been told in no uncertain sense you are making the wrong choice. by supposing russia you're making the wrong choice by sending drains. if you make it even was one way would be to send bullets payments off, then it will make it impossible for us particularly to deal with you. so please don't do that. so again, to find new ones aside, the differences know the condition, but everyone beer pins in the versions of maybe close to the writings and the best support for russia might fall, florida. they have productive dependency with the wrong good talking to the thank

you so much for joining us. large moment from the bull street. jo. thank you. so that's a pleasure. thank you. or are you a secretary of sides of the bank and it's heading to beijing. this weekend, if is it comes as tensions between the u. s. and china continued to increase over various issues, including taiwan. secretary banking postponed a trip to beijing in february, after the us shut down the chinese spine. but there's no fee american coast us officials playing down and talk of any major breakthroughs during this visit. i say it's an attempt to reopen the diplomatic channels of what they call a crucial time and relations. china will continue to be around and a major player on the world stage as we are putting ourselves on that stronger footing to compete, that they have and will continue to take provocative steps. we understand that and you've heard the president say it's important to have that diplomacy with world

leaders. it's important to have that discussion. so we believe intense competition requires intense diplomacy and that's what you're seeing from the state department . let's get into this with david sacks as a research fellow at the council on foreign relations where he focuses on us china relations. welcome to dw, as 5 years since the us secretary of state visited china. during which time the license between the 2 countries have deteriorated, was on to me blinking hope to achieve as well. i think that the by the administration has tried. it's best to play down expectations of a senior diplomat for asian at the state department yesterday. notice that there wouldn't be a long list of deliverables and really did try to downplay expectations. so i don't think we're going to really see much of the actual steps forwarding us china relations the by the end of ministration is really focused more on establishing guard rails, for the relationship of voiding. an incident between our militaries that are

operating in very close proximity, what they would refer to as a floor in the relationship. and even though they've pushed this really throughout the administration, china hasn't uh, taken the bait so to speak. china doesn't want to talk about competition or establishing guard rails or open lines of communication. so to this point, both sides have really been talking, ask one another, and i, i doubt we're going to get on the same page and this visit slide. so the, the fact that the, the visit is gathering, i had a tool under those circumstances. sounds like a bit of a wind. so i think so, i mean, i think that the visit is a good thing. um, you know, i read this as the latest in a series of incremental steps by both sides to see whether there might be the potential for a floor or some rolls of the road for this relationship, which is getting quite tense. we had the us national security advisor, j. j. solve and meet in vienna with china senior most diplomat uh the us secretary

of commerce and trade representative host is their chinese counterpart in washington. a few weeks ago, a secretary of treasury, janet jaelyn said this week that the coupling would be a disaster. so i think we see a series of quite deliberate steps by both sides to try to see whether there can be some rebuilding of trust. i still think that we haven't seen the floor of us china relations yet, and it will probably get worse before it continues to get better. but i think that's what secretary blinking is trying to seek out engaging. ok, so lots of issues between the 2 countries. one of the most significant zip codes of being taiwan and regarding the taiwan you wrote today and found a fast dot com that the sources of instability, a growing in one of the world's most dangerous hotspots. diplomacy is frank detachment exhibiting on china's risk. tolerance is increasing. just explain to us what you mean by that phrase. time is uh increasing

a risk tolerance and contrast that if you would, with the wife has this kind of stance on taiwan. so, well i think that we see this on a daily basis. you know, for the last 3 years or so, try that has normalized military activity in taiwan air defense identification zone on any given day. it is more likely than not the, china's military is sending aircraft through taiwan air defense identification zone after speaker hello. see visit in taiwan, china or race, the median line or center line and the taiwan strait, which had held up for decades and helps the conflict with 2 militaries. and now we see china sending military vessels just outside of taiwan. it's $24.00 not to go mile continue with so. so we see a continued encroachment from china near taiwan. we see some threats in chinese media elsewhere, but it might choose to send aircraft over the island itself or violate its

territorial waters. so i see a very deliberate slave book from china is attempting to alter the military balance as well as the military status quote and the taiwan screen. so china a thing that the time shut while the wife has does want as well. again, i think that the white house is just trying to avoid an incident and, and is really focusing on risk reduction mechanisms. and so i think china is actually sees an asymmetry here in risk tolerance, that the po way is more willing to take risk to assert its interest. and then if it raises the temperature too much the us pull back down. so for instance, there was that video from a few weeks ago of a chinese naval vessel, cutting off the u. s. destroyer in the taiwan strait. and i think that the calculus in beijing is that essentially, if they become unpredictable and really raise the temperature of the taiwan strait and within the 1st violent change, united states will blink and say, you know,

we don't want to risk something like happened in 2001 with the 3 incident because we don't know where that ends up and therefore we'll back down. so i think that this, this will require the united states, as i argued to my peace today, to accept more risk and more friction and us china relations to ensure that the balance of power doesn't arose. for just before you came on, we were talking about reports of an informal nuclear agreement with iran to effectively call a political face find stabilize tension. so i'm, you seem to all your, in your piece today that the us should be moving in the opposite direction with china over taiwan that instead of demonstration, willingness to turn up the he's, if necessary as well. i think china has really been driving dynamics and the taiwan strait and it has been using pre tests whether that speaker hello sees visit or president sign when meeting with speaker mccarthy in california to to change the

status quote. and so you have pretty authoritative statements from people like secretary of state antony blinking. but she just thing has determined that the status quo o is no longer acceptable and it's taking steps to change it in china's favor. so the binding ministration continues to talk about the status quote, as though withholding and all sides are respecting it. but i think that's not the reality on the ground. so the us has to recognize that actually china is taking these steps to change it and figure out how we can increase deterrence and how we can change and things talk to us. i don't think that a conflict over taiwan is imminent. i don't think staging is ready for a conflict with the united states, but i do believe that we're moving in the wrong direction here with regards to taiwan. okay, that's a fast and i think and slightly scary. i could to talk to david sacks from the council on foreign relations. thank you so much. thanks for having me or the. i'm the whole to go. let me tell you about the famous

italian vintage color. i see mila amelia, which has now begun holding 400 classic vehicles manufacturing back to the 1960. so i've left the press here on, on the top of italy, be 1600 kilometers the journey takes on a special significance this year as it travels through regions. finally hit by severe flooding. the 5 day rice and this weekend when the cost per ton depressing. well, today's almost done by the conversation continues online. we will find this on social media channels at the w news or after feel gail before in depth analysis is always dw d, w dot com, have a good day the

the to the point to clear positions, international perspectives. after much preparation, ukraine's long awaited counter offensive has begun. and while its forces are still reporting their gains in meters, experts say the progress is credible how we're putting react. that's our topic onto

the the enter the conflicts own with sarah kelly. after months of speculation, the long anticipating new premium counter offensive appears to be under way. my guess this week on complex own is ukrainian deputy prime minister all her stuff and need to know who overseas ukraine's integration into the un nato. what more does she need from partners to future proofs? ukraine's defense conflict zone. the 60 minutes on dw the daniels index. you belong to the 77 percent to come to i just got on 65 last, last those top 5 years, 311. since we're here to help you make up your mind,

we are here on please find your mind. so all of the topics i'm much up to you. john campbell, fixed a new culture, and in 15 minutes, let's say together, parts of our community life on the surface of this research is now on top. your credit is long awaited counter offensive has begun. and while its forces are still reporting their gains in meters, experts say the progress is credible as ukrainian force has pushed to take territory and russian occupied south and east. they are relying in part of western supplied weapons like these leopard tags. soldiers report liberating a series of villages, but russian military bloggers say some of these are still being contested.
