the british vault of 5 minutes about his johnson resigned from parliament last week and on tuesday, facing that my dining report into his conduct during the cove had locked down 3 forward 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 arse jobs is full is now complete. for now at least i'm feel gaily validate and this is the day. the voice johnson, he's not on the law breakable the lion is not fit to public health based on his

disgrace himself, but not to another license to begin with. and now i just don't like you just started talking to him again. how much of it was through his boris johnson? he lied to em piece. he likes the people at this country. nope. it's quite clear that he misled polymers. this is a mad to use a serial. like i said, the history of the slide 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. the fall from grace of a former bridge primary subarus, 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 applied way of se inside the building to take say, i make said the 1st british prime minister i found to apply it to parliament,

ottoman to taken mister johnson to task over a series of parties. he attended during the cofi lockdown masses report said of the greatest importance to the house and to the public and about which he died deliberately and repeatedly. mister joseph's allies have criticized the report has been take to get that chance to oppose it by that piece. vote on it next monday. the other. so the fault lies with none other than the alexander bar is the faithful johnson. the truth is 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 a long, serious. this is a man who is a serial lie us in 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 resolved spring questions is full of the peace with his normal privileges. commit

is pretty down the you know, it's serious. first, johnson is not only a law breakable at 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 with 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 to 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. you're a skeptic, natural years paper. so welcome to the dublin here of, 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 back? no, i don't think they will. and i think they realize that the they go to a dead man and basically in place they come do anything to say that he's 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 in large part of britain's routing, conservative government, oh, is it some paul? the mentoring majority too far is johnson. so why they turn their backs on him? they 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 tassel valley and russell as soon as a set price the to your being parliament buildings. and i was actually going to do an a do for the develop lit up on the other side of the castle. the elder was, um, i was waiting for the bbc who was his sister in law and morris jones. he, he was in the middle of doing an interview because the bbc camera rolling. laura's

don't to vote golf turned said oh, interrupted the name to new, 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 he has methods at work during your shed time that as a journalist at the a you had courses, i'm so it sounds like you don't find it at all surprising that he's been declared a lie. i know i'm, i said to me, he always has the everyone knew he was the, they all said was that they were people, there was so comes of it is and i mean right wing conservative that they were quite prepared to build up with these little peccadilloes that is altered, sees, it wasn't 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. and when i told him i found out later that his phone might client stations and off with a couple of them for less money than i could borrow. as johnson suggested it, apartment next to the commission. but it filled it up as a he was for my tv and tell the mom to go to go to moscow and would so here we go there. i couldn't, i didn't do that. i mean, oh right. i didn't like the chapel was doing it, but i couldn't have left him stranded in most co borrower, so that will be of the various jape. okay, so he's resigned. he resigned last week. um based reports into his misleading of parliament was published this morning. he's gone. does any of face really matter? 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 to the duke and the certainly only conservative party because there are now

lots of people who did vote for him because it's a big, tough, been a business to sort of trump type of support, you know, he's is the tough guy in charge. but they realize that he's, he's really got a fee to play ease, ease, eats. he's not really all the he said he wouldn't be, 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 m p's. for the same reason, the chap said that he was complaining about bar shots and attending these bodies. but he was the 2, which means that he wasn't denying the diesel, organize the policy, but merely that one of the men who attended it was complaining about him. but so a couple of his supporters have now also resigned for 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 telling itself apart, while britain just one does, will 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. or 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 still say the very long ago that he would stand again and re smoke the 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 here. thank you so much for joining us. that you understood jim give it my pleasure. thank you.

the new york times is reporting that the bible administration is close to reaching an informal deal with terry rock and to limits iran's nuclear program. 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. it's a nuclear program in return for relief from international sanctions. united states walked away from that deal during the trump presidency with these ladies talk so sad to include the us around an israel. the paper quote, utilities, right, of the officials are saying that there was a minute. is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu and was constantly wanting to the threat posed by iraq's incident 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 of times and you can agreement with around will not stop a rounds and you get a program. i will just allow it around to direct money, even large amounts of money to the terrorist organizations that operates under a sponsorship in the middle east and around israel, as bald as 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 cover say around nuclear issue, welcome to the w. and what do we know about these talks between the us around and the israel? yeah, so that will she generally reports that on stay 1st yesterday. but that to have that been discussions, we should be a little careful as well as not part of these discussions. the writings been sort of varieties, and these riley's 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 a whole bunch for those tensions from folks, the running grades attacking american citizens in the nursing soldiers in the middle east, 2 wrongs, new programs, and to around support for russia in the war against ukraine. so the idea here is to get to a point where 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 unfinished. and now this is, this was a temporary fix. so uh yeah, this would very much be a temporary, no, just a temporary fix, but a small fix onto the agreement. uh, if this comes together the, the,

the favorite phrase of my school season 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, back, but we'll be talking about yeah, essentially is the us providing money to the iranians that he's calling the adults off on the us sanctions and in exchange, around taking some de escalate respects that would include not attacking americans in the middle east. it would also include one that a very this will dance, the new for you active it to the new to the work that iran has been doing as of the cuz last couple of years this, he buys the situation. i'm not in the short sent over this comma. that's what they're trying to do. if that succeeds, there's a little bit of a window of opportunity. bolden that out and maybe to even see if they can restore rescue the new kid. do the testing 1st. it needs to be a,

along the escalation that has all these tools have been aimed at doing. all right, let's just have a closer look at a couple of those reports. it concessions, for instance, around to enrich uranium to 60 percent, instead of 90 percent. explain to us how that differs from the 2015 deal on why it matches. scale it again. i didn't do a drawings on the new york times or both, and i will draw of monitoring focusing on this. and what 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 in the wrong and the only country in the world does not have nuclear weapons. that is producing 60 percent funding and retraining. this do would say income producing it. but if you do, you have to turn it into a week of form. you cannot increase your so called a 60 to say,

how does that differ from the j b y indicates you'll massively the j. p o, i put a limit. the 3 i said the wrong can only produce 300 kilograms. all you run into you've reached 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 to file the, the, the, the amount of enrich arriving. they produce a 114 kilograms and turn it into weapons grade material. and then no, but at least you need their weapons, it would take them 12 days. they need to deal with a long way away. i'm having no pics home to to meet the appeal. but if it was right now that very close to a matter of things, that's not always come thoughts, it's stabilize it where it is and know what to send you some,

begin to build this gland to see and, and, and hopefully, but spend some time either this is a pensions and less than it is correct. another rather than 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 the 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, and my details are a little bit different than that. well, what has been said to us is that it clearly reduces the political space, but 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 uh, to work with the iranians to have size, productive dependency with the, with the wrong. now what i've been told is that is no direct link 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 once, as one wise would be to spend the listing themselves, 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, not a condition, but everyone beer pins and imagines that may be close to the iranians. the support for russia may to fall prada, they have productive dependency with the wrong good talking to the thank you so

much for joining us loudest moment from the bull street. joe, thank you. so that's a pleasure. thank you. are you a secretary of sides of the plane? can it's heading to beijing this weekend if it comes as tensions between the us and china continued to increase over various issues, including taiwan. secretary banking postponed to trip to beijing in february after the us shut down the chinese spine. but there is 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 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

a 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 relations between the 2 countries have deteriorated, was designed to meet 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 in 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 and the relationship. and even though they've pushed this really throughout the administration, trying to 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 or i think so. i mean, i think it's a visit is a good say, 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 sullivan. meet in vienna with china senior most diplomat uh the us secretary

of commerce and trade representative hostage 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 the 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 about 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, china has normalized military activity and high ones air defense identification zone on any given day. it is more likely than not the china is military, is sending aircraft through taiwan air defense identification. so 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 and elsewhere, but it might choose to send aircraft over the island itself or violate its

territorial waters. so i see a very deliberate playbook from china is attempting to alter the military balance as well as the military status quote and the taiwan screen. so china a, ping the temperature while the wife has just want as well. again, i think that the white house is just trying to avoid an incident, and the end is really focusing on risk reduction mechanisms. and so i think china is actually sees an asymmetry here in risk tolerance that the p o a is more willing to take risk to assert its interest. and then if it raises the temperature too much the us go back down. so for instance, there was that video from a few weeks ago of a chinese naval vessel cutting off a us destroyer in the taiwan strait. and i think the calculus in aging 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 incidents cuz 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 further. 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. say, i'm, you seem to argue in your piece today that, but you should be moving in the opposite direction with china over taiwan. and instead of demonstration, willingness to turn up the heat if necessary as well. i think china has really been driving dynamics in the taiwan strait and it has been using pre texts 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 anthony blinking. but she just thing has determined that the status quo o is no longer acceptable and is 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 the 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 on slightly scary i could to talk to david sacks from the council on foreign relations. thank you so much. thanks for having me.

the whole go, let me tell you about the famous italian vintage color. i see mila amelia, which has now begun holding 400 classic vehicles, many dating back to the 1960. so i've left the press. the on the, on the top of it's really be $1600.00 columbus a journey takes on the special significance this year. as it travels through regions finally hit by severe flooding. the 5 day rice adams on the weekend when the cost per ton to rescue social media channels at the w unusual at filled jail of o as in depth analysis as always, w app with d w dot com have a good day the the

to the point 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. our coaching, react, that's our topic onto the the, the,

the steering civilians and treating prisoner as humanely. the rules of war are so simple, but they are disregarded in armed conflict around the world. a red cross field worker wants to change that. his mission is to enlighten soldiers about the rules of war in 45 minutes on dw, the pre clinic to learn about sugars paralyze between your system. a computers that are

smart governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work. so that's how they can also watch it. now the ukraine has 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 levered tang.
