alex: this is dire for boris johnson, however he or downing street spins it, it is dire for boris johnsongreat news for those opposition parties who want to face boris johnson at the next election, but want him wounded. and he is wounded. brent: he is wounded, but unlike theresa may and margaret thatcher, boris johnson has proven himself to be an expert at spinning things in his favor. what is he going to do with this ? he is going out to say he won? alex: they said before that even if it is just by one vote, he has won, "we will put it behind him." however, they would not have wanted these numbers. he has succeeded, he has got confidence, but such a divided party here. somehow, he has to go forward with them for another two years until the next election. the next election is the u.k. is expected to be in 2024, so two years of this divided party. is he going to be able to get an important vote through parliament? these mps going to vote against him? this is going to be very difficult. brent: how can he wield any power now -- because this is a secret ballot, and it is worse than he expecte

that means 40% of johnson's colleagues chose not to back him.s paul brennan reports from london. paul: a victory for the prime minister, but far from convincing. >> a vote of -- a vote in favor of boris johnson was 200 11 and against was 148 votes. therefore, i can announce that the parliamentary party does have the votes. [applause] paul: a raucous reaction from boris johnson supporters. but there is no disguising the in normandy of 148 mps who voted against their leader. >> it is a convincing result, a decisive result. what it means is that, as a government, we can move on and focus on the stuff that matters to people. paul: there has been feverish speculation about johnson's future, relegated somewhat by last week's national holiday in honor of the queen's platinum jubilee. but public bluing -- booing at the prime minister friday at a service for the queen was an ominous indicator. a rendon -- a random sample of london commuters confirms a degree of public disillusionment. >> it was a turning point for me, actually. paul: despite securing a m

birth johnson does have a governing agenda. he wants to be, he's always wanted to be prime minister. he doesn't actually want to do the job of being prime minister. we need someone who's out to interest. ok. doing this job at time is critical, is less alan, could the economy be his last chance to win the hearts and minds of the british people? particularly if he manages within the upcoming months to fix the issues of the cost of living inflation and also the demand domestic energy costs. well, of course that would be a dramatic turnaround. i think we're going to manage expectations on that one. i'm in reality, we're in a global situation when it comes to the cost living crisis a something being shared across the world right now. and maybe we'll manage it better than other people maybe way. but i think we've got some way to roll on that subject. if we get to the end point, but i actually want to come back on what ross said, there is something to the idea that he has to now show leadership. what i said at the start, the reality i

johnson.em our way. you can reach me on twitter and we will work to those questions in the next 90 minutes. this is how a vote of no confidence works. at least 180 tory mps would have to vote againstjohnson for him to stand down. and we know that there are between 160 and 170 mps on the government payroll. andrew bridgen is one mp who'll be voting against the prime minister. if they resigned in order to oppose the government they would lose that income. the target of 180 for the rebels asap because that would get into over 50% of their serving conservative mps. andrew bridgen is one mp who'll be voting against the prime minister. here he is explaining why. my loyalty is to the country and to my constituents. in the uk we don't vote for a president or prime minister, the prime minister is there by being the leader of the party with the most mps after a general election and he remains prime minister while he maintains the confidence of those mps and tonight they will have a vote and see if boris

prime minister johnson: mr. speaker this morning i had , meetings in addition to my duties in this house. i still have further such meetings. >> government support for household is greatly appreciated but energy costs are also causing massive problems for districts and particularly energy manufacturing. will the prime minister support the black country initiative backed by the left to reduce reliance on fossil fuel and will you be with me to look at how the black country can be a pilot project d carbonized reduce costs and prevent the regions manufacturing jobs. p.m. johnson: i cite he's a -- i cite my honorable friend. he's a great champion for the black country and in addition to the 1200 pounds and most -- vulnerable households where providing 400 pounds tell everybody with the cost of energy. we're supporting the black country energy infrastructure as the region has already received 1.5 to develop a plan for decarbonization. >> now, the leader of the opposition, keir starmer keir starmer: thank you mister sp

johnson has so far been able to shrug off several scandals. but he has struggled to turn the page on revelations that he and his staff repeatedly held al caulfield parties that flouted the cove at 19 restrictions they had imposed on others. with no clear frontrunner to succeed, johnson, most political observers had predicted he would defeat the challenge. so i think this is a, a very good result for, for politics and for a, for the country just in the future. so i do just in this sense, i think it's a convincing result, a decisive result of what it, what it means is that as a, as a government, we can move on and focus on the stuff i think really matters to people. but the rebellion represents of watershed moment, and as a sign of deep conservative divisions to break all this down now is d w's. katie stephen c, with me in the studio. katie hi, is this really as convincing decisive are result is, boris johnson is saying it is, well, frankly, no. in fact, i'd go as far to say it's the opposite. 41 percent of his m. p. 's voted against him. and th

allen, do you see boys johnson bouncing back in the near future? well, i think and he's going to need to bounce back if he's going to survive. that's the reality of this. yes, he did secure a victory. it was a victory. ultimately, you know, you could have come with that backdrop that your previous guests have set out. you might have expects him to lose that, but he didn't me hold on. i was, i think it's maybe a mistake to think in his back pensions. those are not the others, you know, ambitious people, you know, maneuvering within the cabinet itself to look at this particular side for a 2nd. he's one the vote. maybe it wasn't, you know, a convincing as convincing a victory as he would have liked. he now has a brief period of time when he can reset or attempt to reset the agenda. and the reality is he needs to do this very quickly. he does have a, a problem or 2 by elections coming up. we'll see how the concert is doing that, but i would expect if he really wants to kind of stay in this job, i expect that to be a really shuttle of his government and

it is dire for boris johnson. it is great news for those opposition parties who want to face boris johnson at the next election, but want him wounded and he is wounded. but unlike theresa, maybe even like margaret thatcher voice johnson has proven himself to be an expert at spinning things in his favor. what's he going to do with this is going to come out and say, are one is going to say one here they, they said before the, even if it's just by one vote, he has one. we will put it behind him. however, they would know they would not have wanted these numbers. it is a, you know, he has exceeded, he's got a confidence, but such a divided party here. and somehow he has got to go forward with them for another year, 2 years. it's that the next election in the u. k. is supposed to be in 2024. so 2 years of this divided party. if you're going to be able to get important votes through parliament, all these and p is now going to vote against him. and this is very, very difficult for, i mean, how can he wheeled any power wit

what are the johnson could do is fine. i think every piece of evidence suggests the moment the british public. i'm not listening. i think don't leave any more case. challenge it. increases personality, a public feel it, see it. i'll line that vision for what the countries and that will be college for the green. my colleague a represents tonight. yeah that's, that's the challenge or they are doing much, much better than they were, was briefly if you don't mind what was a problem with boris johnson, his personal behavior was, or the substance of the, of the legacy itself. the substance of his time in office is done far, far more damage to the british public than his behavior. his behavior is choking. why? empowerment lined to the public? that's an acceptable. but this is a prime minister who presided over cups to universal credit. a huge numbers of families back into financial crisis and the time where there's an existing cost of having crisis, he's our prime minister who's presented over more arm sales to some of the worst

at first , johnson denied attending the events.e admitted that he had violated the instructions, apologized and paid a fine, but against the background of this news, the prime minister's rating fell to the lowest values ​​​​at the beginning of his career, and even now , after the majority of conservatives supported johnson, political scientists predict that he will not stay in his post for a long time. hold out, and lisa herzen is transferred from london with such a victory and defeat is not needed. here is how the results are generally commented in britain today. here we are of distrust to boris johnson. four out of ten party members ballots against him. though not corrupted, johnson's future as premier is now and forever ruined. almost all political scientists say so. boris johnson was supported by 211 and opposed by 148, so i can announce that parliament expresses its confidence. here is the reaction of the press newspaper mirror and metro end of the party or end of the party in english - this is the same word guardian prime min

johnson's case, i think it just reaffirmed that mrs. johnson could be mrs. johnson. in other words, mrs. johnson was very clear with me, she was terrified before the first committee for the preservation of the white house, these were experts, it wasn't her work. she felt comfortable with bringing in americana. in the first meeting, it's really funny. they are talking about getting expensive rugs where i think it was the state dining room and mrs. johnson is going, well, aren't they walked on? aren't these antique rugs? well [inaudible] they finally come to the conclusion maybe they should make good copies. but i think that the public opinion had influenced her and then she left and didn't want to compete with mrs. kennedy, and just [inaudible] unable to her to be more [inaudible] with the white house historical association and through their own plans for a lot of things. the first winslow homer that was added walked in through a good texas friend of hers, and in a paper bag, to the first meeting of the committee for the preservation and the [inaudible] i have a littl

johnson. she said mrs. kennedy quote really wanted me to safeguard that and continue that her words fell on fertile ground because i care deeply about it although from a very different viewpoint because i wasn't formally trained in 19th century furniture art or anything like that. my drive was to get american artists represented in the white house and i did lady bird lets jackie know that president johnston formerly planned to establish a committee for the preservation of the white house. jackie response by writing mrs. johnson in december of 1963 i'm touched that you want to do this thing. maybe i will be remembered as the person who started restoring the white house, but you will be the one who is remembered as preserving it and making sure for all time it was cared for. that was the moment. i was always scared of. would the next president's wife scrapped the whole thing as she was sick to death of hearing about jacqueline kennedy or which she forget about me and ensure the white house will

but johnson's critics are massing the numbers, the m p, who johnson himself appointed. his anti corruption saw resigned the roll on monday in protest, and believes tonight's conference vote put the pm on the brink. technically, a majority, one is, is, is enough for tonight. the problem will be and or not he survives and has credibility on an issue of leadership ongoing and the, the precedence so far. all that anybody who wins by a bit, not enough that doesn't last very much longer off. who should those you know, brought us johnson well say he will not relinquish power willingly. but after months of criticism, speculation, and wavering, a growing number of johnson's own and peace seemed ready to take the decision out of his hands, pulled brennan al jazeera. well, here's how the confidence process works. there are 359 conservative m p 's to win the vote. johnson needs the support of half of them plus one. so at least a $180.00 votes if he wins and piece cannot hold another confidence vote for further 12 months. well, during the whole, joins us live from westminster in lon

it's a big moment for boris johnson's leadership. as nick emphasized, one of the main intriguing elements of the way the conservative party goes about potentially changing things, they can say what they like in public, but we cannot confirm which way they vote. that means there is an extra dimension of wondering, they may be publicly supporting the prime minister but maybe doing something different in private. ofourse it could work the other way around as well. we will know once we reach 9:00. we've been hearing tory mps speaking for and against prime minister boris johnson on continuing the job. here is one who voted against. >> my loyalty is first of all to my country and my constituents. in the u.k. we don't vote for president or prime minister. the prime minister's thereby being the leader of the party with the most mps after the general election. he remains prime minister while he retains the confidence of those mps and we will see if he maintains that confidence. >> most of what has happened in the last 10 months in number 10,

- reality for boris johnson? yes. i think the _ reality for boris johnson? yes.y for boris johnson? yes. i think the conservative mps, i i think the conservative mps, those who voted against boris johnson would still be putting pressure upon them to stand out and say look, this situation is untenable. the parliamentary party is really debated in half. as to whether the back you and therefore you cannot carry on as conservative party leader, you need to step aside. but the message coming back loud and clear from but the message coming back loud and clearfrom boris johnson and his friends this evening is low, i have won under the rules of the game, i'm entitled to carry on as leader. you cannot challenge me again for another year and it is now time to forget what is going on in the past and move forward. borisjohnson will try to reshape the political agenda in his direction. you can hold on until a parliamentary recess, he has a chance. the difficulty he has is that issues such as his conduct in 10 downing street, the so—called party gate affair, the psychological

is self-elimination hasyat johnson survived that night the damage inflicted. in the office serious words were spoken that could not be taken back, reports were published that could not be removed , a vote was taken that showed the greatest level of dissent that the leader of the conservatives has ever encountered deep inside. he must recognize that focus on leaving in a way that saves the party and the country from agony and uncertainty. many remember johnson's predecessor as prime minister theresa may, who overcame. here he is distrust, but she was still forced to leave six months later, but even with theresa may, the result within the party voting was much better than that of johnson , who was opposed by more than forty percent of deputies of his fellow party members, there were quite a few failures in boris johnson’s career, but so far so far he has been able to overcome them. how long the current resurrection will last, the question remains open, it is obvious that the conservatives did not eliminate, but the scandalous prime minister, so as not to play in

johnson after a full day of meetings with government officials. they attended a reception in their honor at the white house. the president expanded on the theme of youth's responsibilities to the nation. at a gathering of delegates to the national rural patrick cooperative associations youth conference you have your obligation to your parents to your teachers to your principles but you also have a very strong compelling obligation to your country. if we are going to survive as a free nation if we're going to have the liberty and independence in the freedom that we want if we're going to have the opportunity. the prosperity the jobs and the housing and the beautification all the things that we like and that we want we're going to have to have first. qualified leaders and you can't find better talent to work on. than you young people who come from rural? this month the president followed through on a promise. he made to the nation's young people. in june, he sent to congress a message asking that the vote to 18 year olds. as part of her beautificati

boris johnson is saying, it is well, frankly, no. in fact, i'd go as far to say it's the opposite. 41 percent of his m p. 's voted against him, and that's worse than many expected. and for all his talk of wanting to move on now he is going to be significantly weakened by this. this is the man who has long been seen as a teflon leader who could shake off gas and scandals. but party gates seems to be the one that's really sticking. and boris johnson just can't seem to shake this image of being there will make her was breaking his own roles in those coven locked eyes holding boozy parties, while ordinary members of the public weren't even allowed to visit their dying relatives in hospital. now a civil service investigation found that johnson had to take responsibility for failures of leadership and judgment. he was even find by the police. and now it seems that a growing number of his own and peace have lost confidence and see him more as a liability rather than the electoral asset that he once was. now let's remember his predecessor to

boris johnson _ the next election? boris johnson could _ the next election?oblems. one is the red wall that he painted blue at the 2019 general election is being painted red again in the north of england and then, in rural areas and particularly in the south, things have been painted orange with the big lib dem revival and running second to the conservatives in a lot of and threatening some of the most senior conservatives in their own seats. borisjohnson has up to 2.5 years to turn this around but he is no longer being seen as the electoral acids that made him the leader in the first place and the bad news may not get end for boris johnson because the next set of big elections coming up will be in those conservative inaudible counties come next may. the conservatives have an awful lot of things to be found there so there may be for the pain to come, there is plenty of political headaches, whether the inaudible relation situation, partygate, cost of living and the parliamentary privileges enquiry that will take place this autumn so it�*s very, very difficult

boris johnson-— any of said two words. boris johnson. . , johnson.e issue many tory mps feel is that. _ think the issue many tory mps feel is that, exactly, their leader, the perceptions of their leader, what has happened with the whole partygate affair, the perceptions of behaviour— partygate affair, the perceptions of behaviour and the acceptance of blame _ behaviour and the acceptance of blame or— behaviour and the acceptance of blame or how borisjohnson has responded to all of that, that is an absolutely— responded to all of that, that is an absolutely critical. if you look at the polling, what it shows is that from _ the polling, what it shows is that from the — the polling, what it shows is that from the beginning of this whole partygate affair that is when the dial has — partygate affair that is when the dial has shifted. shifted markedly, very quickly and hasn't really changed _ very quickly and hasn't really changed since then. 30 very quickly and hasn't really changed since then.- very quickly and hasn't really changed since then. so what t

but boris johnson's political hangover has just begun. the british leader is facing a fight for his political survival. more than 15 percent of conservative in peace have withdrawn this support for the prime minister. enough to trigger a party leadership challenge. i notified the prime minister yesterday that the threshold had been reached and we agreed the time table for confidence i'd say vice rumors of a possible challenge have been swirling for months. driven by a series of scandals. late last year, revelations emerged that johnson and his staff had held a number of parties in breach of the you cage code 19 lockdown laws. i'm an 8 following to separate investigations. johnson became the 1st serving prime minister to be fined for breaking the law. for many conservative m. p. 's, the so called party gate scandal was a step too far. now is very clear in january that the price should have resigned in january. it was clear that party gate was going to grow and grow and run and run while on the streets of london. many expressed a lack of tr

johnson for your remarks. i'd like to thank the men and women in your agency who do their best to maintain law and order when this administration has not made that an easy task. you have an incredibly difficult and complex duty to this country, and i hope you are aware of the support you have. this invasion of foreign nationals at our southern orders should be the top priority of this administration and congress. as the acting director for ice, i look forward to hearing how we can help you clean up this disaster. the historic crisis is set to worsen greatly due to the announced rescission of title 42 which will bring a tidal wave of immigrants across our southern border, and overwhelm an already overworked and understaffed immigrations and custom enforcement. while cartels and gang members will exploit this crisis to further endanger american citizens. you testified that the u.s. had a record number of deportations, you said a contributing factor was being able to expel individuals who were not in a position t

the political fate of boris johnson was decided. and a far-sighted decision to replace imported developments for vision correction came with domestic technologies. russia la-personal sanctions against 61 us citizens announced this in our world the ministry stressed that this is a response to washington's actions, the sanctions list included, in particular, the minister of energy and finance , the president of large aviation and shipbuilding companies, heads of enterprises of the military-industrial complex, media platforms and rating agencies have also been restricted by state department officials who were involved in creating and spreading fakes, and russian cyber attacks have banned you all from entering. on the territory of our country. russian journalists face difficulties when working in the united states , russian ambassador to the states anatoly antonov said, he stressed that the us authorities would interfere with our media staff from working at official events. in addition, journalists are not always able to issue or extend

johnson became the first p.m.ged to have broken the law while in office. >> the british public are fed up , fed up with a prime minister who promises big but never delivers. fed up with a prime minister who has presided over culture of lies and lawbreaking at the heart of government. fed up with a prime minister who is utterly unfit for the great office that he holds. >> it's a victory for boris johnson, but hardly a ringing endorsement of him and his leadership. one commentator on monday said johnson's appeal within the party was a mile wide but just an inch deep, and so it seems. johnson himself will undoubtedly babylon, fighting tooth and nail to retain his grip on power, but his options are rapidly dwindling. it will be at least 12 months before another vote of confidence can be called. surviving a confidence vote only often represents a stay of execution. >> our reporter is in westminster for us. reporter: you heard him talking there about a decisive, convincing victory, but make no mistake, this was no comfo

johnson has gone a step too far. all of the parties that he held during the time of lockdown, there are many people who never got to see loved ones as they were dying because of lockdown. and they now know that while they were sitting back, why read about the peep, the people in the hospital, the people who was sick, or as johnson and his pals were drinking and having a good time? you say that he's gone too far this time, but he does have this incredible track record of god going from one crisis to the next and coming out each time smelling like a rose. yes, you can do that just so long, but eventually the ship sinks, you can go from reef to reef, but eventually em the whole get too big. and it just goes down underneath the ways . and he said that the last night he said the people in this room one the biggest electoral victory for the conservative for 40 years under my leadership. and if you don't believe that you can, okay, really that we can come back from that talk from a composition of when again, then you haven'

does boris johnson survive this moment?oes he galvanize the cabinet where his see still in a perilous situation? >>'s situation is very perilous indeed. 40% of the party voted to get rid of him, his supporters were spending it last night saying he has drawn a line over the scandals that dotted him the last year, the truth is this is a very bad result for the prime minister. one tory mp told me this is the best result for the labour party, because it keeps an unpopular prime minister in position and the party fighting over its future, so a very bad result for boris johnson. can he get anything through from his agenda to parliament with so many of his own mp's wanting him gone? one a result like this comes in, it is not a matter of if up prime minister loses his job, but when and the clark sticks -- clock starts ticking from now. francine: what policies will be conservatives try to push through? >> keir starmer said it was a disgrace that boris johnson still in his job. we have two key buying elections --by-election's where c

nadim, zahavi, owe boris johnson in the briefcase said that johnson should stay so as not to upset zelenskydent zelensky feels today, he jumps for happiness, knowing that his close ally boris johnson remains prime minister, they opposed johnson openly those british politicians whose hands are not tied by the belt of the administrative portfolio british political scientists are unanimous that johnson will hold on to power to the last and to the last insists that everything is fine what is happening now could have happened to johnson six months ago, then it appeared first information. the truth is still without the funny details about the broken children's swing that johnson gave in while his subjects grieved, but then johnson said that he had no time. understand he's busy containing russia how much he succeeded we can judge today. well, then elizabeth ii gave him a few quiet days in june thanks to the celebration of her anniversary, so thanks to russia and elizabeth ii, boris johnson quietly remained in his position for another six months because of herzen boris khalfin and vladimir and prit

johnson: yes. mr. defazio: i reserve. i have no further mr. johnson: mr. speaker, i'll yield myself whatever time i may consume. i will advise that we have no more speakers so i'll do this as my closing. so when you see a small community get hit by disaster, it just breaks your heart. i remember as chief of staff to the governor, being on the ground in wington springs just hours after a tornado ripped up that town and i was struck by this young mayor, melissa, a part-time mayor, as smalltown mayors are, she was not an expert in disaster recovery. she didn't know how to navigate the fema process. i was in castle wood and able to meet with that mayor, brian, and get his sense how their town had been devastated by a tornado. mr. speaker, these are not big towns to be specific, castle wood is 627 people and wessington springs has 956 and these are good mayors. these are good public works directors. these are good city counselors. -- city councillors. the gentleman is right when he says this is about fairness. h.r. 7211 makes sure that fema will provide, will h

johnson put brackets around it. at that time, saying, you will want this as a record of your conversations. what an incredible gift to historians like michael, that we have these. as michael correctly says in the introduction, the foreword to his first of the two books on the tapes, the only thing worse than anything bad that comes out of these tapes, anything bad we hear in johnson's comments, would have been in johnson's view, to have been forgotten. this has kept him so relevant. it's so intimate, the experience of listening to these conversations. >> melody, in your work on this wonderful podcast that debuted last year, you use the conversations extensively. in your project, what was it that made these such a valuable tool? >> well, a couple of things. one, i will step back for a second and answer that question through the lens of my experience as a staff person. so, having been ted kennedy's chief counsel, having been president obama's domestic policy adviser, so much happens in the room. so much happens on the

johnson vows to get on with the job. theiews in the u.s and asian media, but let's hear a european perspective. i have been speaking to the u.k. correspondent for the italian tv network media set. >> boris johnson is widely seen as a populist and there is one rule for all the popult leader who can go on as long you have the support. there is one crucial momt four days ago in front of the worldwide platform outside, when he got booed during the celebration for the planum jubilee. that comment to me, was the moment as a european, as an international viewer, a lot of people understood that he kind of lost this vote of his own people. it's fair to say that boris johnson didn't make any steps forward in the last few years to be liked by european countries. there was brags it, the ways in which he handled the pandemic from an italian point of view that was quite crucial. party gates. to me, he has a lot of steps to do in order to gain back both the support of the peoplethe british public, and the support of the international v
