again, the m p 's who would undermine johnson. so i think we don't really need to wait for something that was already admitted to the prime minister himself is admitted that he was at that party, but didn't know that it was a party i. he would have known that that was the numbers of people alone was breaking the rules. so he really is trying to type it by playing stupid rather than playing deliberate. and then are i john, what's your take on this? i mean, some m p 's are saying that they're still waiting for this report is not going to be the next key moment here is it is going to be the next key move. and i mean, i think there was a point on tuesday of this week. when it looked at this enough concern peas and say, we've had it with an up with johnson, and we're worried that we're going to leave the next election and lose many of our seats. and they then look to see if they are on the verge of calling for a conference. but i think after yesterday, the mood has changed a little bit there were saying, let's wait for this report. see

and indeed many of the conservative m. p 's one states and the 2019 election. recognize that it's because because of our assumption is christina, is promised to get it done. and so on and, and the sort of fits from 3 of them may be pushed by the posse in 2019. but i think the issue that tory and be a grappling with is that it's not enough to have support inside your budget. you need to support bases in the end, and the bases seem to become disillusioned, particularly over these parties, but to some extent has been coded over his chaotic image over the arguments you've been having with the divers miserably dominic cummings, dining st. looks rather chaotic and disorganized, and i think both has been like that they think, you know, government should be, should be better on it. and, and that's really the underlying issue here. what are you telling you, john, about the public smooth and what they want to see happen? so they're not saying that the bars, johnson or a certain popularity rating is below that theresa theresa pay was,

so to let's get the m p for so feel sheylan. no, i don't think i personally i c n p for sophia was the custodian, in fact the custodian was john polk your major figure in the sure socialist movement and didn't the scottish socialist movement, but as m p for socio shirt. you know, i didn't become in be for socio show. you know, parachute again i was born in here. i'm an issue and issues and robert bunch and the importance of the m. p for so feel shar, the beef association in the m p for ear were automatically trustees of barnes cottage with bows, was born right up into all fairly recent times. and that was a responsibility that i do seriously and to be fear, george younger who was a tory and p for it too seriously as well. we attended every meeting and made our contribution to maintaining the bombs cottage and wonders monument char, extremely important and cultural life of my home county. and trying to find my nationalist, the tall, amen yoshio nationalist. and that's because a want to that not me quite interested in george younge

so far on the handle of conservative m. p 's publicly said that they submitted letters to the committee that the barber has more from london. we need 54 conservative m p 's from in parliament to actually put in letters to the bat bridge committee to trigger leadership contests. now, only 6 of them who publicly called for boys johnson to resign the latest. a former junior minister saying that he has showed of frustration and a reluctance to come clean if you like. and that's why he saying it's time for boys johnson to go. constituency m p. 's, back in the local areas this weekend. a hearing from huge numbers, unprecedented numbers of activists who, being loyal for years back bar is johnson in 2019 who probe rex it and who are furious, say that it's time for him to go. but behind the scenes, there are political reporters here in the u. k, saying that it could be several dozen m p 's now, who have actually put in letters. of course, we won't know this until that threshold is reached. others are waiting for the outcome of the inq

he's a conservative m p, a former minister. this is what he said on wednesday to in question time have a listen. have a look. unlike many on these benches, i spend weeks and months defending the prime minister against often angry constituents. i reminded them of his success and delivery breakfast, and many other things. but i expect my leaders, he shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. yesterday. he did the opposite of that. so i'll remind him of a quotation altogether too familiar to him of leo, a murray. to neville chamberlain. you sat there too long for all the good you have done in the name of god. go back to what do you make of that? so direct lot sitting on the fence, so direct and so historic. the words of leo amory in 1940 brought about the town full of metal chamberlain grinning about winston churchill time as prime minister. that was an event that happened in the house of commons. and indeed that itself was a quote of a former lord protector of england. oliver cromwell, who dismissed one of his parliam

the majority of conservative m. p 's though are quiet, waiting for the results of the inquiry, waiting to to hear what their constituents have to say. if public anger continues to grow, those i'm piece may have little choice but to table letters of no confidence in bars. johnson, $54.00 letters would trigger a leadership challenge. meanwhile, boys johnson's reportedly doing everything he can behind the scenes to convince m. p. 's. he's done nothing wrong in parliament on thursday. the focus was back on the government's achievement in handling the pandemic with an announcement that the covert isolation period can now be cut races. after reviewing all of the evidence, we've made the decision to reduce the minimum self isolation period to 5 full days in england. this country is leading the world in learning to live with coven. but with opinion polls putting the opposition labor party 10 points ahead of the conservatives. for the 1st time in a decade, there were fierce johnson smell more of a liability that a leader need,

you noted a lot of the m p 's behind or strokes and who might not be. so if you sit in the court, of course, johnson just a few hours earlier, a saw in effect to the real enemy was this intervention from david davis, a former cabinet minister, a senior back bench conservative m p seemed a little bit out of whack with what the rest of the conservative seem to be doing which was rallying around or still in an a to a greater degree. and they were doing even just a few hours before. and i'm just going to play at the moment where conservative m p crossed the floor into the labor ranks. you can see christian like that. i am wondering what you made of polish johnson stem net. how he's handling himself under pressure. ash or johnston is usually somebody who comes across as oh, the mythic founding. absolutely busy with energy. i'm do usually looks like the kind of politician to confirm almost any lie with a little bit of a stigma and a hint of. well, this is all very silly, that domina has almost completely evaporated this week. we have seen of forest duncan who

a senior conservative m. p is accused the british government of using intimidation of blackmail against those in the policy colon for prime minister boris johnson's resign. downing street says it's not seen evidence of the obligations it is. of course, the duty of the government whips office to secure the government's business in the house of commons. however, it is not their function to preach the ministerial code in threatening to withdraw investments for members of parliament's constituencies which are funded from the public purse. additionally, reports to me and others of members of staff at number 10, downing street, special advisors, government ministers, and others, encouraging the publication of stories in the press, seeking to embarrass those who they suspect of lacking confidence in the prime minister is simply unacceptable. the intimidation of a member of parliament is a serious matter. moreover, the reports of which i am aware would seem to constitute blackmail. life to london, al 0 poor brennan is

many m. p 's are waiting for the outcome of the su gray report that to decide whether or not they're going to submit that side. the type of letter and bit as it stands for is johnson is really, but is struggling for his political life. thank you so much, paul brennan, reporting in london, fill out on al jazeera hong kong tightens restrictions in 3 apartment blocks and struggles to maintain a 0 cover policy. and it's the 1st country to adopt the world's biggest crypto currency as legal, tender. and now the i m f as urgent l. salvatore. to drop bitcoin. ah you're locked into your weather update for asia. hello, everyone. good to see you. so for the top end of india, we do have foggy conditions and smoggy and some spots says that air quality is starting to deteriorate. now for the bottom end of india, few showers here and there. so we're talking about time on the due at times through careless as well, but all in all, not that of to se asia right now. plenty of signed to be found for many spots act

so let's get the m p for so feel shannon. no, i don't think i personally i c n p for sophia was the custodian. in fact, the custodian was john pollock, your major figure in the air. sure. socialist movement done and didn't the scottish socialist movement, but as m. p for so fisher, you know, i didn't become in be for socio show, you know, parachuted n i was born. and here i militia best. and if she is steep and robert bunch and the importance of the m. p for so fear shark, the n b for so here shows the n p for here we're automatically trustees, all burns cottage will, bows was bomb. right? not been told fairly recent times. and that was our responsibility that i to seriously and to be fair, george younger who was a tory and p for it too seriously as well. we attended every meeting and made our contribution to maintaining the bottoms cottage and wonders monument char, extremely important and cultural life. oh my home county, and tried to find my nationalist at all. i'm in the ocean nationalist and that's because it still has t

it is left up to individual groups of m p 's. it's the cross the aisle to find a decision according to their own conscience. so we also heard him today speak about russia reiterating that something changed when russia annexed ukraine, that it changing bored as simply some red line that it cannot cross. let's take a listen. i believe we have a sound bite from the chance such as olaf schultz and she, i think addressed the proposal of mandatory of vaccine. let's take, listen, i will pick up a conversation after that. then detox other does do that, that not enough people are vaccinations in germany, not as many as we hoped we would achieve when we began the vaccine campaign. that very fact alone has consequences, has been the hawk and look comes and at our consequence for august, for the entire country, for our neighbors, at the top of the large number of resources that were you investing in our hospitals, in order to keep them open to help infected people means that other patients have to wait for their operations to happen because

m p. 's not just from his critics, but also for members of his own political party at a 15 percent of those conservative and peace table letters of no confidence, embarrassed johnson that he'll be out. it will kick start a leadership contest, but the majority of conservative am piece all waiting for the results of a very, very important inquiry into misconduct by boris johnson and his staff over the course of the pandemic. we're expecting the results of that soon and that may influence exactly what conservative m p. 's choose to do next. joining us now by skype. izzy on m riley, a former a to you, came minister during the previous conservative administration of teresa may. so where does this leave bar is johnson's future as prime minister? can he survive a scandal that involves their breach of his own covered rules, but has also now resulted in an apology to the queen? well, it's very embarrassing, and i do think that his leadership is hanging by a thread. when you look at the series of al

m p. 's are ready to come forward. to submit their own letters of these no confidence of votes, but forest johnson is still clinging on it to survive. and sticking with what he said, just yesterday that he thought the main part in question was a work event that nobody wanted that it was any otherwise happy lied to the public and parliament. nobody told me that what we were doing was as you say, against the rules keys on the record. say under oath you are lie. in that you were warned about this event and you went ahead anyway that you knew. i did tell you it already categorically that nobody me i can't believe that we would have gone ahead with an event that people was saying was against the rules. you're not saying, hey, nobody warned me that it was against the rule because i would, i would remember that. well, 4 months now we've pretty much had almost every single day. another drunken story coming out of a downing street. it seems as though this is one of the was political hangovers in history, football, johnson, and

oh, with m p. p, scheduled to be reinstated in more cities along the border. it's feared overcrowded conditions at shelters and migrant camps. will only get worse many times as live now from the border city tail ana. what's it like nannie? it's not quite the crisis that we've seen in previous years, but what we're hearing from international aid workers, as well as from shelter organizers, is that if more isn't done by local authorities, by the governments of mexico in the united states, this could quickly grow into another crime on the border. now we are at in chapparal port of entry into the united states at that make ship migrant camp that you saw in our report. it's been raining all morning. it's quite cold. these are not good conditions for people to be living in. but it's still better than what a lot of migrants are having to deal with here on the border who are unable to find shelter. what we've observed, again from international aid workers, is growing concern over the re implementation of the so called migrant protection protocols, or m p p. so policy

the m. p 's will really be debating amongst themselves whether he is really the best person to lead them into the next election period. before i let you go in the past, when there were other party allegations, he had repeatedly said there were work events. this was a party held for him for his birthday. is this going to be the straw that potentially breaks the camel's back is, is the time the boards johnson can no longer stay in power. the excuse of that downing street had to had put forward and that people closed the prime minister had put forward was that that the people had been working across lockdown in downing street. and i think many people on the british public will understand that the people had to be together. they had to run the country that had crisis managed as management on their hand. but to now know that they, there was alcohol involved and were bassi cakes. and that they have been from what we understand very liberal with the rules that will be going too far for for many peopl

so many m p 's opposition and he's have been ridiculing him for that . now it's really up to the members of his own party under, and he's from his own party to think or whether they want him to stay on as prime minister, whether he is really the man they can trust to lead them into the next election. so there is a possibility of a vote of no confidence that can be triggered by conservative m. p. 's. from what we understand there are, the numbers are not there yet. there has to has to be a certain number of and piece will have to express this wish to trigger vote of no confidence. and we haven't heard that this number has been reached, but the jury is still out and it's early days, i believe over the night. and over the next days there will be a lot of talk amongst the employees and they will decide what they want him to do. yeah. because the, the, the impression in the public certainly is not good. is it, i mean it's not resonating well at all with brits? it's really what people are talking about is what they're talking about. i overheard 2 ladies in the

no one is buying that in the house of commons today as dozens of m. p 's including some back bench tories have said his time is up and he needs to go. and that argument was spearheaded by the leader of the opposition, the prime minister, the conservative party of showed themselves incapable of offering the leadership with government this country. just while we were sitting out plans to keep bills down, the was planning parties while we were sitting out plans to save jokes in the steel industry. he was, he was trying to save just one job. yeah. he's own doesn't, the country is up so much better than the other. i don't believe continuing to offer series of questions which, you know, will be fully addressed by. he's wasting, he's wasting your time. he's wasting people's time. this is because he continues to be completely irrelevant to be delivered while they do that and we, we vaccinated. well, they've isolated, mister speaker. well, of course kissed alma hasn't gotten off scot free either. as in the heights as a pandemic, he too was photographed eating an

about bench m p a conservative m p. andrew bridget again said that it was time for boys johnson to resign. like his stomach. he said, the doctor had lost his moral authority to govern the country. his colleague tobias ellwood, who has a parliamentary committee, a well known member of parliament, said, boris johnson needed to lead or to get out of the way. we didn't say what that meant . some people are saying it's time for boys johnson to change his style. that is unlikely, it's very hard to imagine him doing that. many of his cabinet colleagues just say, let's wait for this investigation by a senior civil 7 which could take weeks into all of these reported parties. but it's likely that that civil service will actually apportion blame all the while. tory members of parliament to hearing from their constituents. they're back in the local areas this weekend who were extremely angry, some, or even cancelling their party memberships. an opinion poll suggests now that the labor party had been given a boost, or at least 10 po

he knew that there was so much anger within his own m. p, 's and within the public that he felt that he had to apologize. and he looked a bit sheepish. i would say when, when you look at those pictures. however, it wasn't in a full on apology of somehow reserved or a lot of was a lot of passive language. and he also said that he believed it was a work meeting and it was somehow within the guidance. so he doesn't really, he doesn't really say that he is guilty of anything. and that's why a lot of m p 's really thought that they had to ridicule him. that were the opposition and piece, i think, in piece from his own party. a lot of them were rather quiet and some were seen i holding their head in the hands. i think the jury is out. it's really up to his own and piece. now they need to decide, is he the right man to lead the party into the next elections? so the next hours the next days will really be crucial when it comes to the future of their prime minister of the okay, the optics i evidently not great for the prime minister in this scandal

so for honey, a handful of conservative m. p 's of publicly said they have submitted letters to the committee. as bringing the d baba, his monitoring events for a small london broadcast center, much speculation to deem about ready the future of boris johnson and how his party is perhaps slowly turning against him. that's right. so, and perhaps it's not so slowly as we previously thought you were giving us a reminder of the fact that we need 50 for conservative m p 's from in parliament to actually put it in letters to the bat french committee to trigger a leadership contest. now, only 6 of them who publicly called for boys johnson to resign the latest a form, a junior minister saying that he has shown of frustration and a reluctance to come clean if you like. and that's why he saying it's time for boys johnson to go. constituency m p. 's that back in the local areas this weekend. hearing from huge numbers, unprecedented numbers of activists who, being loyal for years, who backed bar is johnson in 2019 who pro breakfast and who a

the majority of conservative m. p. 's though, are quiet, waiting for the results of the inquiry, waiting to to hear what their constituents have to say. if public anger continues to grow, those m p 's may have little choice but to table letters of no confidence in bars. johnson, $54.00 letters would trigger a leadership challenge. meanwhile, boys johnson's reportedly doing everything he can behind the scenes to convince m. p.

a sina m p from the u. k is ruling conservative party, has accused the government of using intimidation and blackmail against colleagues calling for prime minister borrowers johnson to resign. downing street says is seeing no evidence of the allegations. johnson's under pressure to quit offered emerge that drinks parties were held at his official residence and office while the rest of the country was unlocked down. it is, of course, the duty of the government whips office to secure the government's business in the house of commons. however, it is not their function to preach the ministerial code in threatening to withdraw investments for members of parliament's constituencies which are funded from the public purse. additionally, reports to me and others of members of staff at number 10, downing street, special advisors, government ministers, and others, encouraging the publication of stories in the press, seeking to embarrass those who they suspect of lacking confidence in the prime minister is simply unacc

a number of conservative m. p. 's and our openly calling for boris johnson to resign. police say they weren't been investigating unless a government inquiry suggest there was criminal behavior. the book reports from london. the rhythms of normal life are returning to the british capital. few em asks for tourists. not so it may 2020, when the country was under a strict lock down the city, silent yet behind the doors of 10 downing street around 50 staff were enjoying drinks in a sunny garden. mister speaker, i want to apologize. an hour of judgment boys, johnson told parliament on wednesday, he thought the gathering was a work of ent, he said, falling within government guidelines. this after initially denying anything, had taken place to complete. her explanation however, has enraged and peas and irked the british public and resign. you can't leave and not lead by example. and if you do your fraud, i don't think very as a com couldn't solve the bulk of the british paper animal. and therefore, i would say istation hm.

the very public complaint from william rag who is a senior conservative m. p, the chairman of the public administration committee, who put aside the business of that committee. it was meeting this morning to make this extraordinary statement, essentially accusing a government which they are. the officials that make sure that the employees vote in the way that the government wants him to vote, but all the way up to government ministers accusing them of really strong arm tactics against those rebel m. p. 's. you've expressed disquiet about boris johnson's character and his judgments in his credibility up to and including the possibility of withdrawing government funding for projects within the constituencies of those empties to a level where it amounted. according to mister rag, said, possibly even blackmail, the prime minister though, when asked about it later, he's away on a visit down to the south. west of england said he'd seen no evidence of this kind of pressure being put on on m p. so it is a bit at the moment here say, but it's an indication of just how,

i think m. p. 's do understand this, there are lots of m p 's in the conservative party. you are increasingly worried about this. they will be going back to the constituencies over the weekend. they will be taking soundings from their supporters, from their members and the letters. there are some letters that have gone in, in terms of no confidence in the prime minister that may well increase next week. on the other hand, there are other m p c. we're waiting to see what happens in the low collections we've got coming up in may, and they still see the prime minister, even though they may not agree with everything he does. so stands for they see him as having one a significant majority just 2 years ago. in parts of the country that no conservative leader ever reached before. and there's an element currency still there. will they give the benefit without if, if that is a real know show those elections if we news, see, then i think then the username will change. how long to give him mo, will he be gone before the elections, the local elections in may after the elections, or i

and will those conservative m p 's join an increasing list of conservative m p. 's writing letters of no confidence, $54.00 out of $360.00. have to do that to table leadership a contest. we wait, may well see the prime minister under a weight of pressure stepping down himself, but more likely is the boy's johnson could well try to whether this storm possibly face a leadership challenge from within his own ranks. but what we are, as i mentioned waiting for is the results of an inquiry that could well put more pressure on barstools me. thank you for that. update me back. i live in london, francis parliament has approved a controversial bill that will require people to vaccine certificate to enter public traces. at the moment people can go to restaurants, cafes, and cinemas with a recent negative cove. in 1900 test, nearly 70 percent of a french formulation is fully vaccinated. the government wants to enforce the law as soon as possible as its struggles to contain a 5th wave. i just a moment ago tennis john novak joke of h, arrived in service capital bell bell grang

but some m. p 's have clearly broken ranks including the leader of the scottish conservatives who has urged the prime minister to do the right thing and resign. the majority of conservative m. p. 's though remain quiet. they are waiting for the results of an inquiry and to what exactly happened at number 10, waiting to to hear from their constituents. if public anger continues to grow those m. p 's though may well consider tabling letters of no confidence in the prime minister. 15 percent of tory and peace need to do that to push for a leadership contest. there is some way off, of course, before that prime minister boyish johnson, by doing, biding his time, hunkering down, and no doubt trying to convince a conservative em piece to back him. man. can eve marker in downing street and not india's reported its highest number of covey cases since may of last year, almost 250000 of them in just 24 hours. of course, this is following the global trend of shop increases and on the con, infections should be

busy in the meantime, by his own m. p. 's, his own m p. 's, some of them i think you are getting the horrified by what he has done others, it takes calculation that he is now damaged goods. i will do amends, damage to the conservative party. so about prediction, if you like. can you hear me here? first? is he, he'll be gone by the end of march while the end of march, and i've heard some people earlier, sort of defend him saying, look over all this is a small matter when you compare it to whatever prime ministers have done, for example, going to war against iraq, against international rule that was raised. but i suppose the issue is much why there isn't it? because now britain seems to have a prime minister that people clearly contrast and he admits he does lie. well, there have been a lot going to defend until you play the iraq war. i mean, i'm on record is saying that i voted against iraq war in parliament. and i think until the catastrophic era. but you know, that's too long to make her rights. and the fact is that this prime minister ha

m p. 's not just from his critics, but also from members of his own political party at a 15 percent of those conservative m. p. 's table letters of no confidence, embarrassed johnson that he'll be out. it will kick start a leadership contest, but the majority of conservative and peace, all waiting for the results of a very, very important inquiry into misconduct by boris johnson and his staff over the course of the pandemic. we're expecting the results of that soon and that may influence exactly what conservative m p. 's choose to do next. oh, so that for you on the program. i'm at address reports for us on the survivors of 10 years of violence now facing the threat of disease and salvation. then we've been extremely harsh conditions on for 10 years, their plight was largely ovando. they was the victims of nigeria must forgotten the monetary and crisis and police into an easier use at war to cannon, to break up a protest against the president on the 11th anniversary of the country's revolu

in fact, dozens of m. p 's including some tory back benches for that matter, have said one after the other, his time is up and it really is for him to resign. and that was all sped by the leader of the opposition to speak on for the prime minister. the conservative party of showed themselves incapable of offering the leadership and government this country just while we were searching out plans to keep bills down. there was planning parties while we were sitting out plans to save jokes in the steel industry. he was, he was trying to fight just one job or dawson, the country is up so much better than the other. i don't believe continuing to ask if there is a question. would, you know, will be fully addressed? oh, he's wasting, he's wasting new times. he's on the waiting time. this is because he continues to be completely irrelevant to be delivered while they do that. and we, we vaccinated. well, they, they did, missiles kissed alma, hasn't gotten off scot free either as he himself was photographed eating and d

well, that's a message that many constituents of a conservative m p. 's are telling them right now, over the weekend e mails, still coming in calls from people urging a vote of confidence. labor can't do much about that. so they're not calling for about a vote. in parliament's right now, it's expected that actually many tory m p 's might be prepared to see things through with boris johnson in charge until the local elections in may to see how badly they are in that. but all of a doubt and he's, the tory party chairman, has been on the television this morning, firmly backing boris johnson while saying that it's up to him, the prime minister to do something about the culture within 10 downing street, the culture of alcoholic drinks of boozing on fridays regularly, according to one newspaper, i called it friday one time when they sent suitcases out to get some bottles of wine back to the office so that no wonder the public was so angry. and no wonder boris johnson's closer satellite. just saying he will change and he will bring about change, but what lots

she has been responsible for the departure of some quite celia m. p. 's in the past and she's past not in a judicial way, but in a fact finding way to explore and investigates wrongdoings in downing street other government departments and look into these parties with greater detail and see also crucially for the public. what kind of role abortion also may have played in all of this? i love this question on youtube because it's what we're all thinking, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. but bunstein, you know that he'll this eugene question. i'm going to put it to ash and then also to tom. i do think the country is lazy, love relationship with a conservative. so the question is really, who will they replace maurice johnson with that's assuming that boys chelsea is on his way out as she's done well, there are 2 li contenders with his finance minister. mercy, do not, and foreign minister list for both of them has been raising their media profound ways to very decent mr. newberry. i ministerial looking photo shoot, you know, having fight johnny r
