even when he was chancellor to boris johnson , you chancellor to boris johnson, you know, started justing of johnson to distance himself , perhaps distance himself, perhaps undermine him and a few of the pubuc undermine him and a few of the public things he said. i remember specifically him saying, i wouldn't have done it that whatever. i do that way or whatever. yeah, i do think has where he can think he has where he can distance himself from. >> yeah, i think what they want him is to further him to do is to go further basically, completely basically, and just completely criticise them and distance himself from them. he's gone as far as he could, but the problem he's got is he's got to manage his party as well. and a lot of conservative mps and members still like boris johnson and liz truss, maybe , although yeah, truss, maybe, although yeah, you're right, because at the conservative i conservative party conference i was got treated was there and she got treated like returning hero, was like a returning hero, which was amazing. don't think in amazing. so i don't think in practical ter

was this an attempt at to sort of pin all the blame on boris johnson ? the blame on boris johnson?what? i think a lot of people expected it to be a lot of vitriol towards boris johnson. but perhaps the biggest surprise was how much the blame was spread around . it wasn't was spread around. it wasn't just boris johnson that dominic cummings went after , but also cummings went after, but also sage, the cabinet office, the health department, matt hancock, and just about all the arms of government and how government works in this country. he had huge criticisms for senior members of the civil service, most notably the people in charge of the cabinet office, whom he described as utterly useless in their jobs. he was very nice about some people , but very nice about some people, but very, very mean about others, and particularly how these systems report in to number 10, meaning that the whole system of government was not communicating to itself particularly well. he had huge criticisms for how certain committees work , most certain committees work, most notably cobra, which wasn't even a

came and said that we, we will not sign anything with them, that boris johnson should have signed with why is this group of negotiators at all was at those negotiations, what was their mandate of trust or status, which, in general, nothing is clear, but it will be two years from now, and this story has not been spoken and explained, both for society, and for politicians, what was he doing there an outcast, what was arahamia doing there, that is, it is not, no, no professional negotiators, were at the negotiations, talked about something there, then remembered what is written in the constitution. that a neutral state should not be, how do you evaluate these explanations, in general, going public with similar clarifications, explanations, certain conclusions? bad assessment, mr. serhiy, because we are 20 months away, after these negotiations, they are trying to promote the idea that we could have agreed then, and then it would not have happened. further victims, further war, further many things, but we have to understand and we have remember that when these negotiations were going on, th

boris johnson came and said that we, we will not sign anything with them, that boris johnson should have signed with them, why was this group of negotiators at those negotiations at all, what was their mandate of trust or status, which, at all, nothing is clear, so it will be two years since then, and this story has never been told or explained, and for society, well, for politicians, what podalyak did there, what arahamia did there, that is... these are not professional negotiators, they were at the negotiations, they were talking about something there, then they remembered that in it is written in the constitution that there should not be a neutral state, how do you assess these explanations and in general going public with similar clarifications, explanations, certain conclusions, i don't like it, mr. serhiy, because we are 20 months after these negotiations... . peaceful ukrainians in bucha and not only in bucha. there is no direct direct connection here, it is simply a coincidence in this case, but it is a fact that we cannot deny, and you remember what, why these negotiations ended

i think boris johnson had su ort left? i think boris johnson had support from _ left?port from a _ left? i think boris johnson had support from a large - left? i think boris johnson had support from a large coalition | left? i think boris johnson had i support from a large coalition and one thing that will surprise him is when he delivered a huge majority at the last general election and 365 mps. the last general election and 365 mp5. it the last general election and 365 mps. it is slightly insulting that not one of those mps is worthy of being foreign secretary that you would turn to somebody who has left politics and put him in the house of lords to bring him back. i think the traditional grown—ups in charge of the conservative party over many decades are reasserting control of that party and what we will see will be more tame, more mainstream, less crazy if you like, but still compared, as you brought up his name, a little less charismatic, less inspired and a little less in's exciting than what borisjohnson had initially promised when he delivered what was the bigg

do think boris johnson out. do you think he was right to be out there, boris? >> yeah.s yeah. >> i don't why he shouldn't go. >> i should go, though. >> i should go, though. >> i should go, though. >> i think showing support for israel is a good thing to do. he is a former prime minister there. he has great contacts in that country. and i see no reason why he shouldn't go there or at all. >> okay. right. well, thank you , pearce. >> always good to talk to you. >> always good to talk to you. >> always good to talk to you. >> always so boris johnson, as we were saying, has urged israel's allies to never waver in their support for israel and its war against hamas. he taught some communities, some of the communities, attacked hamas terrorists attacked by the hamas terrorists on 7th of october. on the 7th of october. >> an interview >> and in an exclusive interview with security editor, mark with our security editor, mark white, was horrified white, he said he was horrified by saw. and he called on by what he saw. and he called on the international to community remember even

well, boris johnson is released. extreme brutality and torture used by hamas in their attack on israel on the 7th of october. the former prime minister spoke exclusively to gb news after touring some of the areas in israel devastated by last month's attack. he says there needs to be a stop to what he's calling a crazy moral equivalent. look at what happened. >> remember, this was sadist . >> remember, this was sadist. this was an orgy of brutal city and torture . now, there's and torture. now, there's a difference between that and what the israeli army soldiers are now trying to do in gaza . now trying to do in gaza. >> protests during remembrance events may be banned under plans being considered by the metropolitan police. scotland yard said it would use all powers and tactics to prevent any disruption. it comes after the prime minister, rishi sunak, labelled plans for pro—palestine protests on remembrance sunday as provocative and disrespectful . well, former prime minister bofis . well, former prime minister boris

will not happen again, and there is no such certainty, moreover, when we returned from istanbul, boris johnsond said that we are not at all let's not sign anything with them, and let 's just fight. mr. volodymyr, here johnson came and said that we will not sign anything, we will fight, well , you know, mr. sergey, i am watching this, and to be honest, as a professional diplomat, i am holding my head, because... on such negotiations, well, they begin with what, they begin with the preparation of the directives of the delegation that, er, conducts these negotiations, and these negotiations, taking into account its importance and, well, the situation that was, they cannot write on the knee, they must to be approved by the president of ukraine, from what we heard...' at that time, there were no directives, they were sent in such a way, in order to either soften their eyes or sign the capitulation, that is, actually, what can to understand from the situation that we are talking about and so on, i don't know if it was possible to shake hands with these bandits from the right side that we are seeing

differences and possibly others remain between them, but at the same time he emphasized that what boris johnson did, when it comes to supporting ukraine, about mobilizing, in particular, international . support of ukraine, he considers this to be the best achievement of what boris johnson has done, so he agrees with his political rival on this. bohdan, we also remember that cameron headed the british government in the 14th year during the annexation of crimea and the occupation of eastern ukraine. how do you actually evaluate his policy in relation to ukraine then? well now they say that david cameron came into office with experience and also burden, and experience is obviously his many years in government, he was prime minister from 2010 to 2016, but when it comes to baggage, let's say critics accuse him, for example, of participating in insufficient international efforts, in response to what we now know in fact was the beginning of the russian war against ukraine, when russia seized crimea and its forces began combat operations in donbas . then russia was kicked out of the simi group from the

of svo, svo was, therefore, moscow, right, no, no, not boris johnson, but boris johnson said, reallyome agreements that we must resist and that the west will help, these are the key words , now today we are talking about... the fact that the west, a number of western politicians, the media and others, blame kiev for the fact that the counteroffensive did not go according to plan, the fact is that those large-scale, ambitious goals that kiev set for this counter-offensive, practically none of these goals were achieved, and who is to blame for this, from the point of view of western, a number of western politicians, american, let’s say, parliamentarians, and some european watered, who is to blame? shifts the blame onto the ukrainian, poorly fighting ukraine, and here, well, it’s not surprising that ukrainian politicians , in this case, use arachamia, are trying to show that this is not for russia, and even this is for the west and for part of ukrainian society, they say, it’s you , it was you who promised to help, to help help, it was you who essentially said to fight, what they could,

there was an e—mail exchange and a witness yesterday, sir eddie lester who had been boris johnson's chieflationship between borisjohnson and the then first minister of scotland nicola sturgeon and he said that they didn't like each other very much. the accusation being that scotland made its own decisions later on in the pandemic. you will remember that there were different restrictions on parts of the uk scotland, according to eddie lister were making decisions a few days later than the uk government whereas wales and northern ireland decided to keep similar to what was going on in westminster. i think they will all have something to say about that. it's quite interesting that i was brought up this morning when mark sidwell said that basically the the administration basically the the administration basically followed in line with those strict restrictions were first imposed, the lockdown in march 2020, but keeping those administrations in line, if you like, as he saw it, became more difficult when the pandemic went on when decisions, as he described, were less acute. you are stood outsid

and people like boris johnson , i know he's coming on johnson, i know he's coming on as a presenter herewith boris, but people like boris johnson, who banged the ukrainian looking ukrainian drum without looking at the implications of at the wider implications of what they're doing, need to rein it in a bit. >> it's interesting what you say because richard, there painted a very bleak outlook in terms of ukraine's prospects in this war. he says it's because their military capabilities aren't enough and we could be providing them with the tools. but you would say, i don't think you can beat russia. >> russia will not give in. russia will keep throwing people at it. >> very interesting indeed. let me know at home you think. me know at home what you think. you're watching and listening to gb emily gb news sunday with me, emily carver. we've got lots more coming on today's show. coming up on today's show. but first, the news first, let's get the news headunes first, let's get the news headlines with sophia . it'st first, let's get the news headlines with sophia . it's t oh 31. >> i'm sophia we

he critical of boris johnson.cts that he was given and the eat out to help out scheme is coming under particular criticism because it's alleged this is what patrick vallance said yesterday that the scientific advisers weren't told the scheme weren't told about the scheme beforehand. they first heard about it when it was being announced to the country. now, obviously the government will argue it's up to ministers argue that it's up to ministers to decisions . to make these decisions. ministers were responsible for balancing people's lives, the lives of perhaps some some older people in the population with the livelihood of others and the well—being of children, etcetera . so there was a difficult decision to make lots of balancing to be done. but of course the scientific advisers will yes , the decision will say yes, the decision should have been made after all of evidence was heard and if of the evidence was heard and if patrick vallance and chris whitty weren't even asked about the eat to help out scheme, the eat

that he had told boris johnson that the country should lock down as early as march 13th, 2020. this is what he said. >> i've had the chance to check because you questioned my the phone call. i made to the prime minister. it was at three 334 that afternoon. i've been at 324. i've been able to check my phone records, which have i've come to light since . hold on. come to light since. hold on. no, no, no. >> mr hancock, you know perfectly well that we have scoured every possible source for documents and material relevant to the issues in this inquiry. we are you saying that you have a record of a phone call which you've not disclosed to this inquiry? >> no, there isn't. there's only a record that the phone call took place. >> know what you >> so you don't know what you said in that phone call? i do. all right. >> so that rather testy exchange with the lawyer there may raise questions hancock's questions about matt hancock's testimony. audience testimony. and my audience question tonight is a quite simple one. do you believe him? do you believe what he's been telling inquiry today?

galstock boris johnson, he finally persuaded zelsky to abandon peace with russia according to the agreementsder the pretext that if continue to fight, then kiev will then have better negotiating positions, stronger ones, now it is clear that this was a malicious vomit, everything has become for kiev. but where is boris johnson now? immediately after his resignation, he was recognized as the worst prime minister in british history. but it turns out it will be even worse. leaf tras, who has been in office for 44 days, will fall down like a filthy broom. in general , the degradation of the british elite is obvious. prime minister rishi sunok had a row with his interior minister suela braverman. due to different ratings. pro-palestinian demonstrations in britain fired her. suela braverman, the daughter of immigrants from kenya and mauritius, an exotic little thing in her own way, called homeless ; the post of minister of the ministry of internal affairs was pritti patel, herself the daughter of indian migrants from uganda, but she developed a scandalous bill to expel migrants from britain to rwa

i take it, go out to the bbc, russian service to see if they will give this one about boris johnson andia, i’m looking where it appears. the only bbc article on this topic: russia promised peace to kiev for refusing to join nato, the leader of the faction is a servant people david arakhami, who headed the ukrainian delegation in negotiations with the russians in belarus and turkey in 2022, said in an interview with journalist natalichuk that the russian delegation, as promised key to the world for refusing to retreat, they really hoped almost to the last that they would wait for us to sign such an agreement so that we take neutrality, this was the biggest thing for them, he goes on to say that there is a lack of trust. and not a word about boris johnson, the bbc, to whom, first of all, it would be necessary to say that this is our prime minister for that moment, the bbc is silent about this, the bbc , a russian service that exists with the money of british taxpayers, is deliberately lying, they actually advised us not to go into ephemeral security guarantees that were impossible at that

britain by boris johnson, for whom not a single ukrainian voted, now this nonentity johnson writes articlesd ukrainians continue to die because their country it was not clear how zelsky was chosen, but at least he was chosen. the enraged russophobic monster boris johnson, the world knew this, so when they talk about an independent ukraine making a decision, it is a lie. this time, about the truth. secondly, regarding the truth, we were told that we were terrible, that we were a nightmare, that we had wild population losses, that a terrible number escaped through the upper lars. the situation in israel is unfolding before our eyes and what do we see? more than 300 thousand people fled to israel. in terms of the population of russia, if you compare, it will become clear that our people are much more patriotic than the population, incomparably more patriotic. take it. 15 times larger population and significantly fewer escaped, so we are very wrong to underestimate ourselves, some ran twice, we think of ourselves much worse than usual, as well as the change in the sheikel exchange rate than we

ephemeral security guarantees, which it was impossible to give at all at that time, he takes, and boris johnson’shrase, what can you sign, no , that’s why i consider the bbc to be propaganda, deceitful, vulgar and vile, not the media, but a department of british intelligence, that’s why it should be banned in russia, namely therefore we must every effort should be made to have their supposed journalists expelled from our country, they are not doing journalistic work. they consciously drown. well, before our eyes it is very interesting how the kiev regime is beginning to devour itself. at the same time, there is no talent, they take it, they fake some conversation, supposedly poroshenko and akhmetov, we understand that this is a fake, right? what is there to doubt? no, no, moreover, 100% fake. but i heard the voice of both. i understand what he says. who is this intended for? i don’t know, but here’s who calculated, this phenomenal communication of communication is completely different, the style is not close at all, not close, that is, it is so vulgar and cheap, so who is doing this? that is, bro

moreover, when we returned from istanbul, boris johnson came to kiev and said that we would not do ith them sign nothing and let's just fight. just like that, some boris johnson, who was in the wings of the americans, ordered ukraine to continue fighting. the british kicked boris johnson out of politics long ago , forgotten like a bad dream, and the ukrainians are still fighting and dying on the battlefield. now, according to orakhamia, ukraine cannot sit down at the negotiating table because the negotiating position is very bad. on the other side. do the ukrainian authorities really not understand that their negotiating position will become even worse in the future? our military is working on this and successfully cope with the assigned tasks. our military correspondents, evgeny roshitnev, alexey baranov and mikhail andronik, talk about the situation on the special operation fronts. here is concrete, a concrete floor, another ladder. here is another concrete floor, thick concrete ceilings, several layers of earth, high-quality shelters in the ssu near avdeevka. our soldiers show the

when we returned from istanbul, boris johnson came to kiev and said that we would not sign anything with them at all, and let’s just fight. russia and ukraine held several face-to-face meetings in the spring of twenty-two, first in belarus and then in turkey. it was the next round in istanbul that put on paper the principles of a possible future agreements. the same eighteen-page document that vladimir putin first showed at a meeting with african heads of state a year later. i will only add that after april 15, when the preliminary text of the peace treaty was ready , not only boris johnson came to kiev, but also the main hosts, uh, as far as i remember, the head of the us state department, the chief of the pentagon, and well i also admitted to rahami that some kind of group of foreign advisers was formed, who actually advised against it. zelsky sign a peace treaty. thus , the chance to end the war was missed. the agreement provided kiev with security guarantees. russia demanded ukraine's non-aligned status and refusal to deploy foreign weapons, including nuclear weapons. they were ready

only question is with whom, with his bosom friend zelsky or with the idol of the ukrainians , boris johnsonhing two completely different people in front of us. arakhamia now, who is giving an interview, this is masiychuk, and arakhamia is at the negotiations then, who behaved very impudently. right here, well, overly, right arrogantly, right here the arrogance of the move turned on, yes, it is very significant whether he already understood then that zelensky was a bargaining chip, well, it’s unlikely, because zelsky was then just beginning, as they say, his path to the top, which he now occupies almost a monopoly, to the top of a loser, to the top of failures and so on, zelsky was still favored by almost everyone, well, no matter who he met, everyone bowed at his feet and said that you were truly great ukrainian president, we rely on you, and so on, the man believed it, those around him believed it, that’s why arakhami behaved so pointedly impudently, in fact, as i understand it, there is an element of criminal culture in this, which he showed, because external insolence and upholding of on

the name today was called boris johnson.n as a whole is anglo-saxon, this is the british-american connection - these are the main ideologists of the continuation absolutely. for ukraine war. boris johnson visited kiev several times at the most critical moment of hostilities and actively influenced the events taking place. it is obvious that the british intelligence services and the british ministry of defense were behind the large-scale production and staging of the events in butch, and most importantly, all this was not spontaneous. publications in the international press, it was a planned and executed information operation, behind which stood the us national security agency, and the uk government communications headquarters, it let's say, the english equivalent of anb. therefore , is it any wonder today that there are no further prospects for ukraine, they are trying, again, not to portray zelsky as the main culprit, but now to translate it. wanted, so boris johnson came and influenced, and of course, those headlines in th
