uh, boris johnson and how he is perceived by the uk has been written off. ing sleeping is very hard to write off. i would say that in britain, boris is treated the same way as donald trump in the united states. he leaves no one indifferent; he is either loved or hated. there's a lot to be said about whether he's a clown or not, but at the moment he's the most charismatic, er, politician in britain and it's more, like a more general question here. yes and what is smart politics anyway, i would say that a smart politician is one who wins the elections in the nineteenth year, the conservatives led by boris jones won a very powerful victory, got a majority of 80 votes in parliament, and last year. uh, boris had to step down , not because he lost the general election. he became a victim within the party coup, which was organized by the rishina of the current prime minister. why rishi is a bitch, many conservatives do not like. they can't forgive what they did at all e, arranged last year, when did they remove johnson, e, when he said astrologers baby? yes alexand

will hear people in governmentl you will hear people in government saying this was very much a boris johnsonppointment, during his time as prime minister, hence why it was so complicated with the loan situation. also rishi sunak is someone who knows richard sharp well, they go back, their business careers overlapped. so this is someone who is well known to the tory party. i think that politically the report as interesting as well in the report as interesting as well in the sense that richard sharp's career may be ending in terms of the bbc, but one thing he has played quite a proactive role in, first reported by the sunday times, one person is simon case, the cabinet secretary, and in this report richard sharp is effectively saying, speaking in comments that he felt when he had spoken to simon case and he said he raised to the top civil servant the fact that this bbc appointment was going on around the time he arranged a meeting between simon case and the men who went on to guarantee the loan for boris johnson, and he says he thought that was enough, that it seems it wasn't, so he takes the

political background than richard sharp who was a political donor and worked as a special adviser to boris johnsonn downing street? i have 'ust been speaking to someone i in downing street? i have just been speaking to someone inside - in downing street? i have just been l speaking to someone inside downing street and as you can imagine they are not keen to be anywhere near this story. it plainly is embarrassing for rishi sunak because richard sharp is an old friend of his, a former boss and mentor of rishi sunak at goldman sachs, the investment bank so there is a personal connection but obviously these events take place in the boris johnson era. rishi sunak is very keen to draw a divide between himself and the kind of government being run now, transparency and accountability, ethical good behaviour at the heart of what he says he wants to do but nevertheless it is embarrassing. speaking to other people and governments, it's quite interesting they think richard sharp did do the right thing, that he was right to step down but you can understand why the labour party is making political capital of th

he let that be known to boris johnson. and just so happens that he put johnson in touch indirectly with a friend who had a guaranteed position. he would make a guarantor position on a loan for $800000.00 pounds. that's nearly a $1000000.00. now go forward of it to january 2021. it just happened then the boris johnson named him as the preferred candidate and within a month he was chairman of the bdc. this was a breach of a b, b. c. code of conduct for public appointments. in actual fact, he was somewhat defiant in his statement later on saying that the b, b, c was a place for him and that he inadvertently put the position forward in the way had at government influence on managerial appointments is that is a really, really hot potato and now was a big political storm going on on a prime minister where she soon act a has dodge the question of should he change the rules on having the prime minister having the say on who is chairman of this institution? he's dodged that. so this is good, this, this isn't over yet, is not going t

and i congratulate him for that, because that wasn't the case der boris johnson and not really the sameer his two predecessors since 2010. i want even a conservative government, to which i am opposed in other respects, to succeed on a northern ireland, and i think it is doable. i think that the dup can find reasons why they would want to go back if there are still details in with them. obviously you cannot concede a all mountain, but you can concede issues in the foothills, which i think you can give some encouragement to dup members to do what they probably in their hearts want to do but feel unable to do at the moment because there has not been, i'm afraid, the one-to-one, month-n, month-out engagement there ought to be. if that happened, it is possible to get an agreement, and that is what i hope the secretary of state for northern ireland and the prime minister will do, not just fly in for another brief meeting, but have intensive negotiations. christian: the other thing sort tony blair said, there is no point applying pressure because it tends to backfire. christine smith said -- c

everyone knew boris johnson would not entertain an investigation into his ministers and when it was forcedm, he refused to accept the signing. they have no confidence raising a complaint about the minister. complaints were trying to be made, which is what we understand the prime minister was briefed about before he appointed him as his deputy. this is a desperate attempt by dominic raab to paint this as conspiracy theory. >> looking at a review of civil servants survey done in 2018. 19% were concerned there would be repercussions if they blew the whistle. henry hill, no one has confidence in the process, that's why they didn't come forward? >> that has been alleged. no side seems to have confidence in the process. dominic raab has been scathing of the process of the investigation. one of the problems with dealing this issue at the top of government is necessarily because of the unique political role, democratic role the cabinet has, you cannot have normal charges. it would be problematic if a minister could be dismissed by an official or panel. >> there was a report with the former home se

in 2020 richard sharp, helped to arrange a $1000000.00 personal loan application for boris johnson, who was prime minister at the time to visit us how we were. hello, johnson, who doesn't want to talk about it now. later recommended that sharp should be appointed into the non executive role in which he was to oversee the quality and impartiality e. b. c. output. this does call into question the impartiality of britain's public broadcaster at a high level. not only that, it's the timeline that's worrying so many people. 2 years before anything was found out. and the staff here didn't know anything until he read about it. in a newspaper labor, britton's main opposition party says sharp should've already been sacked for his actions. it's clear that he failed to act appropriately in this process, and it's right that he resigned. but he should have been sacked by the prime minister weeks ago because this whole murky affair and his cosy relationship with the prime minister and. and she seemed like himself, has bull untold reputational damage to the b. b. c prime minister is she sooner is now

this investigation began in february of last year when boris i in february of last year when boris johnsonto look into the claims by nusrat ghani, a conservative mp who claims that when she had been sacked as transport minister in 2020, she was told that her muslimness had been raised as an issue. subsequently, she raised concerns about those comments which were made. it was later revealed by the chief whip at the time, mark spencer, who is in charge of party discipline. she wasn't satisfied with the response and hence after going public, this inquiry began. since then there has been a change at the top, rishi sunak is now the prime minister and he has a new ethics adviser, laurie magnus, who picked up this investigation and it has concluded. we have a six page report published by downing street this afternoon along with the prime minister response to it —— minister's response to it —— minister's response to it —— minister's response to it. at the heart of it, the ethics adviser has not been able to establish an accurate account of that meeting because as he puts it, both nusrat ghani and

bbc chairman richard sharp has resigned over his dealings with the former uk prime minister boris johnsonukraine is hit by another wave of russian airstrikes, at least 19 are dead. in hungary, pope francis has urged europe not to fall prey to populism. hello and welcome to the programme, i'm maryam moshiri. in sudan, the crisis continues as the army and the rival paramilitary groups are accusing each other of breaking the extended ceasefire. this is thousands of people sudanese and many other nationalities including britons continuing to attempt to flee the country. there has been fighting in the capital khartoum as well as in the darfur region. the world health organization has warned that the war is having a catastrophic impact, with medical staff and patients unable to reach facilities and as people continue to flee, somehow found the journey more difficult than others. in a moment we will have the story of an nhs dr from manchester who is stuck in sudan and unable to get back for his hospital shifts next week. first, our diplomatic correspondent paul adams has the latest. yeah, the ex

whoever that is, focuses on northern ireland in a way which, sadly, david cameron didn't do, that boris johnsont do and that there is a may didn't do and liz truss didn't do in her brief tenure. rishi sunak, to give them credit, has done that with the windsor framework which is a big step forward where we were logjam between deep distrust between dublin and london and brussels and london. so a big step there but now the prime minister needs to talk sit it democratic unionist party and its leader sirjeffrey donaldson, who i think once an agreement, some in his party don't but i think he does, but she has to be given reasons to get that agreement. so, there's more work to be done and it can only be achieved as i know from my own experience, and was proven at good friday, by intensive negotiations but not flaming and flying out and meet in a party are for one hour or so. literally spending days as was achieved at the good friday agreement in 1998, and as we achieved in the senate angers agreement in 2006. deep, intensive, negotiations. my criticism has been up negotiations. my criticism has been u

we know now that when the panel interviewed all of the candidates, i they were told that boris johnson - and that was richard sharp. that's the way this so—called i independent process of public appointments actually functions, and it's rotten to the core. - richard ayre believes politicians, whatever the party, should not be involved in appointing the bbc chairman. gary lineker agrees, and unsurprisingly tweeted, "the bbc chairman should not be selected by the government of the day, not now, not ever." the bbc survives through public trust. any threat to that is damaging. mr sharp has acknowledged that by stepping aside, praising the corporation as an unmatched creative force. he will remain in post until the end ofjune. katie razzall, bbc news. so why is the bbc chairman appointed by the prime minister and what is the chairman's role? here's our analysis editor ros atkins. richard sharp's resignation raises questions for the bbc, for the government, and about how power works in britain. the job at the centre of the story is bbc chair. the chair leads the bbc board, which has to ensur
