paul brennan brings us more. >> we have got eight candidates now left standing after elimination intost round. the 1922 committee, which is a committee within the british conservative party responsible for electing the new leader, basically set the bar quite high. normally if you had eight supporters within the party, you would get onto the first round ballot instead they put it up to 20 supporters, hoping that that would thin out the field somewhat. we have 11 potential candidates. it has not thinned out the field as much as perhaps the 1922 committee hoped. we have eight candidates who will go forward to tomorrow's first round ballots, which will take place over two hours on wednesday. frankly, the front runner within the parliamentary parties former chancellor rishi sunak, who has probably more than double the amount of support among his parliamentary colleagues than any of the other individual candidates. another name we need to watch out for is penny mortared. the conservative holm website did a survey on tuesday of conservative members. the one who would get the postal ballots a

and that follows for contenders who entered the race on saturday when i go live now to paul brennan, who's going to be talking to us from london? paul, this list is getting longer talk us through who the latest names are. the latest names entering the fray for the conservative party leadership and thereby the prime minister ship of the u. k. and cleared as you say, penny mordant, now a, she's a staunch br, exeter and her glitzy video launch a quote, for example, leadership has to be less about the leader. i'm more about the ship, so this is penny more than setting out her stall. if the kind of a single minded leadership that forest johnson engaged in where he was accused of gathering all power to himself at downing street anymore and appears to be wanting a bit to be a bit more collegiate. if she was elected as prime minister, she is somewhat of an outsider, though that's not to say that she won't make it through for the final stages and such a job id as also i've been doing the rounds of the broadcast media this morning. and he has been saying that emphasizing his experience and his

let's cross over to paul brennan, who is joining us more from london to talk about the, the potential candidates going forward, paul. and actually what happens next? well after the question, because the time table has not exactly been specified, we heard from bar as johnson in his speech after like turn over my shoulder. i won't do less than an hour ago now, just to say that a time table, we will be established next week in order to finalize exactly how the transition of power will be organized. but there are many people who do not one forest johnson to remain in charge, even as a cat take the prime minister while the process continues. many m. p 's, many foreign ministers, many people who resigned from the government because precisely of forest johnson. i think it would be an absolute mistake to have him in charge, but he's the reason why they went and they don't think he should stay. some of the quotes were really quite brutal. i mean, someone cummings, the former special adviser to boris johnson here at downing street. she became johnson the nemesis after cummings left dentistry, s

paul brennan live for us in london. thank you. still ahead on al jazeera, why a group of catholic nuns has been expelled from nicaragua and tennessee, his own ship law becomes the 1st african woman to reach a grand slam. final usa. ah hello. we have seen some flooding recently into parts. if north korean northern areas of the country seeing some rather wait, whether some bands of cloud still streaming through here and that will crash, he make his way towards japan. i rode tropical storm. that's trying to pull out of the way. but we are still dragging some moisture in across a good part of japan. sunshine. his shout here take out around 33 degrees celsius. it will be hot. it's going to humid while the sticky weather continuing. here over the next couple of days, a soccer was similar conditions, notice wet or weather coming in across northeast in areas of china. once again, easing over towards yellow sea, heavy bursts of rain likely to cause some localized flooding. further, se, january dry, but we can't rule out the possibility of

what's called life to westminster, that central london out as soon as paul brennan is there. so he wants to go on. it occur, caretaker capacity will his party allow that? certainly at the moment there seems to be no formal mechanism to oust boris johnson from his caretaker position at number 10. and the other intriguing reports that this morning, that one of the reasons why he might want to linger is because he and his wife carry have a wedding planned at the a prime ministers official residence in buckinghamshire, a large stadium called chequers. i'm at the end of this month. it was a, a ceremony that was postponed from last year. the ashley got married last year, but only with a small gathering of 30 people in the garden of downing street. and they had always planned to have a proper big celebration this summer. so there is some speculation that one of the reasons for his johnson was the hang on in there is because the invitations have been sent out. the reality is though, that there is a lot of consternation about this than liberal democrat lead us at davie has been doing

well, paul brennan is in london with more. i. let's talk about that process. what's expected today? what will we have is the committee of the conservative party, a committee called the 1922 committee which meets in just a couple of hours now to set out the time table in the process for the way that that election will be conducted. what we're expecting is that there will be the 1st 2 rounds of ballots on wednesday and thursday of this week. and then to final rounds of balance if necessary, on tuesday and wednesday of next week. the reason why it's going to be a truncated process is because parliament rises for the summer holiday next thursday, the 21st of july. and of course, for us, johnson is still sitting in number 10, downing straits unwilling to leave until his success. it is name, so what you, what you're seeing is the conservative party trying to accelerate boris johnston's departure and get the new person in. you mentioned a crowd of field of candidates. the certainly is. but what we're going to see is those candidates whittle down by festival, a rising of the ball at which s

she soon i called paul brennan is in london for us . okay. who are the contenders pole? well, let's look at the main content. richie soon act because he has been opening his official campaign in the last hour in central london that he's waited a while to do it, but is not out of time. the closing time for nominations is at 17 g m. t this afternoon. now risha soon actually showed prat, frankly why he's the front runner. it was a clever address to the party faithful. he talked about needing to have a grown up conversation about where the conservatives are and where they're going. he also praised boris johnson and said he was the most remarkable man that we should soon i could ever met. and i think that goes to richie sooner, recognizing that in certain quarters of the conservative party, boris johnson remains rather popular. so he's, he's hedging his bet. somewhat very, she sooner the other thing that he spoke about at length in that news conference that he's just given is the fact that while other candidates are adamant, that they will immediately start cutting taxes. if

thank you so much, paul brennan, reporting from london. so if for as johnson does resign, that it won't be an election, but an internal party vote that decides britain's next prime minister. conservative m p 's can put themselves forward for consideration if there are several nominations sitting conservative m p. 's done hold of votes and the candidates were the lowest number is eliminated from the race. this closed door process is repeated as many times as necessary until just 2 candidates remain. the 2nd step is a vote by the whole party with all conservative members balloted in a postal vote. and the winner takes over both the party leadership and as it has a parliamentary majority, the position of prime minister. let's speak to matthew goodwin who is a professor politics and international relations at the university of county joining us from london. thank you so much for your time with us on al jazeera. so now we're pretty sure that johnson is going to resign, but the debate has now moved on to whether he should stay on caretaker prime

johnson. 8 candidates are in the running and a process that lasts until september, september paul brennan is joining us live from london to talk about the phone to tell us who's, who's in the running and who isn't. well, we've got 8 candidates now left standing after elimination into the 1st round of the 1922 committee, which is a committee within the british conservative party, responsible for electing the new leader. basically set the ball quite high. normally, if you had 8 supporters within the party, you would get into the 1st round balance. instead they put it up to 20 supporters that were required, hoping that that would fit out the field somewhat. we had 11 potential candidates. it hasn't really filled out the field as much as perhaps the $922.00 committee would have hopes. so we've got 8 candidates who will go forward to tomorrow's 1st round balice, which will take place over 2 hours in the early afternoon on wednesday. the candidate surviving will that they're actually in engaging hustings in the houses of parliament right now. they've got 12 minutes each to speak to their conser

let's go to poll brennan, who's at damning st. paul some. some great. one line is really for whom the opposition later, the only thing johnson is delivering is chaos. and that he's been propped up by a corrupted party defending the indefensible. despite the strong performance is impalement, it seems that the prime in stays steadfast in his result resolve rather to stand the tough job. yes, i mean there's no doubt that far as johnson has let it be known that he is not going to go from down the street voluntarily. it will need the back bench, n p, 's of the conservative party to eject him. most likely through a another conservative party confidence, very in his leadership. now that can't happen at the moment of the real stand, but there are move the foot to try to change those rules. perhaps as early as next week, when a back bench committee call the 1922 committee has its executive elections. and there are several members of the conservative party parliamentary party, who also very, very strong critics of boris johnson. and they will be standing for elec

ok, let's bring in poll brennan, who's an downing straight hello there, paul. 2 events to focus on today. we've got the prime minister's questions and then the liaison committee. what can we expect from both of those? well the problem is, is questions his regular weekly session of interrogation mainly by the leader of the opposition to kiss tama is at 11 gmc this morning and the prime minister will depart from downing street over my shoulder and head across to parliament for that . i think that the most bruising will encounter will be shortly afterwards. with the liaison committee, delays and committees, a kind of super committee comprising the $35.00 chap persons of the individual parliamentary committees think of defense treasury they come together in the liaison committee later the committee, the only committee that has a power to summon, the prime minister to give all evidence in front of it, in this 2 hours of evidence gathering from the prime minister in that session set much longer than pm cues of mid day. and it's also likely to be formal forensic and really, you know, they will
