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

getting the pandemic bought us johnson. it's completely unfit to be prime minister, and it is beyond time for him. to go, but why don't you wanna wait? sure. why not just wait for the report that that's due out. so we understand. next week i think he is now beyond reproach. to be perfectly honest. is excuses of changed consistently. his death almost certainly misled parliament. we've got calls from his own back benches to resign and to deal with haired from a senior and m p of allegations of black meal. 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 by playing stupid rather than playing deliberate. and then all right, john, what's your take on this? i mean, some of these are saying that they are still waiting for this report

the government. that will, i think way down on johnson. i don't think after the local authority elections, he will be able to recover. saw us argue this point is when likely to face a leadership contest in the summer. i think probably the 2 front runners in that regard will be the chancellor richie sooner and foreign secretary list. try us i. i suspect neither. if it does go to the leadership contest or want to concede, which means tory members will me to have a say. and at least from where things sit at the moment, i believe her chancellors to knock is most likely her to succeed. johnson has prime minister in the 2nd half of the year, probably her to be announced at the tory conference in the, in the latter part of the year. okay. and julia, would you like to weigh in on, on this issue or far as she soon i kind and less trust that semester i was just talking about i think it will come as, as no surprise they say i completely lack of favorite tory to take over from, from the prime minister, i think part of the problem for me is the fact tha

the people. ros: a vote going ahead against boris johnson does not actually mean it would be the end of his time servative leader or prime minister. if they trigger a no-confidence vote, then 50% of those tory mps would need to vote against boris johnson. that would end his time as prime minister's. if the mps vote in support of him, he stays as party leader, prime minister, and more than that, there can be no further votes triggered for another 12 mohs, so his position would be arguably stronger. mark prichard says he is not worried about mr. johnson's future. >> i think the prime minister's performance today was robust, strong. many colleagues that i spoke to have said, look, perhaps we need to give sue gray time to report. the british people are fair-minded, they are just people. they might say, why are people trying to encourage other mps to put a letter in before the quiry is reported? ros: let's bring you back in. we heard a reference to sue gray. for people around the world who have not been following every twist and turn of the story, remind us where she fits into this. >> sue gray is one

you notice a lot of the empties behind or is johnson who might not be. so a few 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 and p seemed a little bit out of whack with what the rest of the conservative seem to be doing, which was rallying around 4 strokes in order to a greater degree. and they were doing even just a few hours before. and as i'm just going to play at the moment where conservative m p crossed the floor into the labor ranks. you can see like that. i am wondering what you made of polish johnson's den. now how he's handling himself under pressure, ash or johnston is usually somebody who comes across to miss the founding. absolutely fits in with energy and usually looks like the kinds of politician to confirm almost any lie with a little bit. and i said, well, this is very silly that the mean has only completely evaporated this week. we have tina or johnson, i think genuine the quite taken. because his friends on the con

said to me, the normal rules don't seem to apply to bar as johnson. i was doubtful about it. i thought he may have to resign over the party scandal that your reporters just summarized. but lo and behold, he's still here. the reason seems to be that people expect a lower standard of behavior from doris johnson than they would from say, david cameron or a teresa mate. i'm as a result, they're simply saying, oh, it's just forrest, the corruption, i think, is still more related to the fact that bars johnson and his crew were telling everybody else to locked down while they manifestly weren't doing it themselves. now that is a life and death issue, whereas wall paper and painting the, the floor or the ceilings of a house are not. when it adds up to cynicism, though, you have to take a step back from it and say, what messages the prime minister giving to the rest of the world u. k. loves to preach to other countries about probity and politics and that we have massive amounts of money which look linked to favors where the bars had met said or not. all that be

the calls for british prime minister boys johnson to step down are getting louder. revelations about a series of government officials holding parties completed downfall of the prime minister. you chief is open. join our conversation on you. chip. could a party gate finish, boys, johnson. that is the question. i will do my best to get your analysis into the day shad boyd johnson may still be able to survive a current political stool. my mother's a mean by a support at the old 40 in the leadership really had within the conservative party will remain the same. it'll be a lot of conservative and pays. he speaking to that constituency. and think that actually pass that saints are in danger as a result of this. if is more allegations down the line, if the report is coming out fines, birth johnson to be guilty of any wrong doing that, i do think we could see the prime minister either resigning or false to resign by his own pace. let small your paddle, hello, ashley tom and i need really good to have a few of you with us to date and quality ponder tre audience, stand by for that. ash, welcome

k. medias reporting that the prime minister boris johnson's private secretary, was advised not to go ahead with a gathering during corona virus lockdown. i tv using the used k is saying that martin reynolds was sent an email by a senior official. it invited 100 people to gathering in may of 2020 johnson admitted attending but said he thought it was a work of any india is recorded. its highest number of new corona virus infections in 8 months. more than 300. 17000 new cases reported on thursday. cities across india have reintroduced restrictions to control the surge. health officials are concerned about the cupboard 19 outbreak in pakistan's biggest city karachi. around 60 percent of new cases in the country are being recorded that the united states says it won't resume economic assistance to saddam without a civilian government. thousands of protest as a back on the streets, voicing anger against the military. on monday 7 people were killed by the security forces. a german inquiry has found the form of pope benedict knew about abusive priests which failed to act when he was archbishop

the program. or is johnson's political survival could be decided in the coming hours. you came media report say, an internal inquiry over multiple le ledger lockdown parties of the british prime minister's residence could be published on wednesday. the london metropolitan police have also opened an investigation into multiple gatherings. johnson maintains that no rules were broken, but pressure over the party gate scandal is growing by the day. boris johnson is under fire again for attending his own birthday party at downing street in june of 2020 london's metropolitan police have now launched an inquiry on history. i welcome the myths decision to conduct its own investigation, because i believe this will help to give the public with clarity it needs and helped to draw a line under matters. at the time, coven restrictions did not allow socializing in doors. and a series of leaks suggests that a string of illegal social gatherings took place at downing street. this particular one was a surprise thrown by his wife and attended by several others. what we know is the 30 pe

the opinion polls for boys johnson are rock bottom. the impression that many british people have is that there was one very strict rule for them for the public, but that are those who made the rules didn't really stick to them. so british people couldn't see family members in hospital. they couldn't attend funerals, they couldn't be with people who were dying out in the hospital. so very many people have a lot of sad memories of this period of lockdown. and now they are finding out that in downing street and across government, there wasn't just one event, allegedly but several events were there worse cake, there was wind, i was cheese, there were leaving dues. so there, there is the impression that there is a culture of this regarding the rule. so it's really about the morrow authority of boris johnson. how much was he implicated himself and is he still fit to leave the country? so parliamentary questions are one thing, but a lot seems to hinge on the results of this internal inquiry to we know more about when this is going to drop. the

so cur boris johnson. the aim is to use a potential, a story of a potential forum, conflicts to distract attention from the real conflict. and the real internal was being waged against his reputation in the united kingdom. so he will use his external cloud to annisa ties, domestic opposition to his apprenticeship. that's the plan anyway. and we'll see how it works. my washington said it won't show its hand when it comes to potential sanctions against russia. so the moscow doesn't have a chance to limit the damage it comes calls to punish russia for the situation in ukraine. rise across europe to where i guess the i've been taking a closer look at who stands to gain the most from the situation the united states, the european union, not putting the final touches on our sanctions least so our renders, they promise no one seen the like in decades, they expect an eye for an eye that moscow will follow suit and turn off the gas stops. for example, exacerbating what is already a global energy crisis, no matter how ma

the public. all questioning bar is johnson, how trustworthy the government is. and in fact, a poll suggests that knowing intent people, what boris johnson to resign on the sentiment in westminster, in the house of commons, is no different either many m. p 's, including within johnson's own party, want to see in paris. johnson walk out of number tend to get yeah, you get the sense times are really running out. but he said bravely out of the moment what a good time than to deflect attention to talk about ukraine, russia. let's talk about that with you. he said, what's happening on that side of it? well, bars, johnston is fighting for his political future at home, but seems to be concerned with perhaps focusing minds elsewhere. now, he did face a very raucous house of commons, who were of course, pinning down and trying to put him under the under the spotlight. really for that alleged lawbreaking over the course of the previous only 2 years now. and the parties and the other examples of alleged lawbreaking over that period. but as far as pers johnson is concerned, p

johnson. this is the latest aspect ofthe johnson. this is the latest aspect of the political _ johnson. the political crisis to hit - johnson. this is the latest aspect of the political crisis to hit borisl of the political crisis to hit boris johnson. we've had a couple of mps, out and say today that they either know of reports or have been targeted themselves by government website who basically have, they say, blackmailed them into footing with the government, and appear lead the government has been using the threat of embarrassing stories, information the webs may held on mps, then basically saying, unless you vote with us, we will give one of these... and the second, the mp who has just defected from the conservative party to the labour party, christian wakeford, he said he was told that he government whips that if he did not vote with the government, that funding for a new high school in his constituency — much needed funding for a constituency that had not had a new high school for a long time — would be withdrawn if he did not but with the government, and i think this is really i

the b, b. c has been particularly attacking maurice johnson. it's a, it's a farcical claim as a senior bbc report said to me, recently that we broke in none of the stories, the prime minister's principal, private secretary i t v broke the stories, i, the mirror broke stories, all the b, b, c has done is report the stories, and in a fairly straight manner, the bbc does some excellent work on then following up these revelations, with gods to interviews and putting them in context and some excellent journalism been tons might be breaking the stories. the b, b. c has really been at the forefront of that, so i think could be long term characterized pvc is leading the charge. the was a time and it's not so many years ago that the baby sees news output was a little bit stayed quite safe in its approach. less controversial? no, many people would argue a return to those days would be a bad thing. i think it would be doing itself a season if it stepped back a little from chasing every scandal and reverted to a previous form of papacy journalism, which was

we cover the way the news is covered in boris johnson's defense. he does say that nobody told him, he was breaking the rules, the ones that he'd set and told everyone else to follow. the british prime minister has been brutally exposed in these reports annihilated on social media. over the most rank hypocrisy wine fuels parties at 10 downing street mid pandemic. when the rest of the country was locked down, johnson knows his job is on the line, his response, what his party cause operation, red meat, a diversionary escape plan, a collection of right wing policies designed to shore up the support of his base top of the list taking aim at the b, b. c through a plan that would freeze its funding. the prime minister's backers are no fans of the case public broadcaster, because they say it liens to the left. but the b, b. c is far more balanced than they ever give it credit for. simply put, it has to be because the regulations demanded. our starting point this week is london. tom breaking regarding a party actually took place in the downing street gum a s

i know downing street and the johnson think so. downing street and thejohnson administration have been quite distracted of late, but of the 12 or something you turns the government has done over the course of this pandemic, this has to be among the slowest, and it is coming too late for some. this thursday would have been the last requisite time, in order to have the right space in between the two vaccines, to meet the april deadline, which means that some will already have been looking forjobs elsewhere, not expecting this from the government. and, of course, it is on the cover of the telegraph tomorrow that 40,000 care workers for whom the legal requirements by november have already lost the job over the policy. you cannot imagine the anxiety this has caused these workers, and we can only hope they come back to their former post now they are permitted to do so, to plug those staffing shortages, but this was always a bad policy for stub workers should not be forced to choose between retaining their bodily autonomy or retaining the

gates candle is growing by the day. boris johnson is under fire again for attending his own birthday party at downing street in june of 2020 london's metropolitan police have now launched an inquiry. here is events, honesty do i well go the mit decision to conduct his own investigation. but as i believe this will help to give the public, the clarity it needs and help to draw a line under matters at the time. covet restrictions, did not allow socializing indoors. and a series of leaks suggests that a string of illegal social gatherings took place at downing street. this particular one was a surprise thrown by his wife and attended by several others. what we know is the 30 people gathered that his wife was there and that the interior designer was there as well as if it was my birthday. ah, and my wife and an interior designer rocked up at work. ah, that was christmas k o. the birthday cake. and a celebration if which is the rules labor, paul, as the investigation looms like coals for johnson to resign, are increasing across the political spectrum. yes, i think the public might their min

can you tell us more about what the report has found? well, horace johnson there says he's sorry he gets it and he will fix it. but many see that that statement is an attempt to brush all of these downing street party allegations right under the carpet for weeks. the government said we will await the sou gray report hiding almost behind that phrase. of course, we thought this would be a huge moment. it was built the day that the public and politicians would hold barbara johnson to account. but now we finally have this su, gray report is just 12 pages long. it's actually more of a commentary really not even a summary. for many people, the picture is still very much unclear. she was, of course, also talk about 16 alleged parties through grace as the police. and now looking into 12 of them leaving room for just 4 of them to be discussed in this report. the key line so that some behavior is difficult to justify. it's too little for, it was put into public health. there were also failures of leadership. and on page 5 of this report, it read that it's not possible

but the johnsons didn't like it, preferring designs in the more exuberant style of lulu little. mr. id he d not know the conservative donor was initially paying for it. today messages between them were published. he wrote, i'm keen to allow lulu little to get on with it. lord brownlow replied, of course, get lulu to call me, we will get it sorted asap. he added, i should've said, as the trust isn't set up yet, it's only me, and i know where the pounds will come from. as soon as lulu calls, we can crack on. downing street says that exchange was never shown to the investigation because mr. johnson didn't recall it and it was on an old phone he didn't have access to. in his letter to the prime minister, he doesn't hide his irritation that he didn't see those messages. he says if he had, he would've asked more questions might have changed some of his findings. but he says his main conclusion, that the prime minister didn't break ministerial code, that still stands. >> we need the president -- the prime minister to be fully transparentnd in all the other instances of conservative sleaze t

but then at the end of last year or the johnson insisted that the u. k is not corrupt, i genuinely believe that the u. k is not remotely a corrupt country that i, nor do i believe that our institution are corrupt and, and i think it's a very, very important to say that well, this of course isn't the 1st tory party scandal. of course, last year we saw a november investigation found that tory don't as have been offered seats in the house of lords than there was, sees allegations that many orient peas were having. second, jobs not to mention, of course, december was down than these downing street christmas party allegations, but in relation to this particular mass boys, johnson has indeed been cleared of breaching any ministerial codes downing street. so that's normal practice for the prime minister to receive project proposals, but many people really question how normal is it to receive conversations about project proposals, while at the very same time, the prime minister is seeking a huge sum of money. so let's learn a little bit more here on the progra

you turns fully here, really quick one on the party. gay may be diverting attention, boris johnson said again tomorrow and mr. posts and lucky he will be receiving a call. i wonder that will be received nice time to divert attention away from all those pesky parties of the co virginia. absolutely. i mean a shot that dr. joseph said that it was the last because a scoundrel, i think we can revise that and say that for mentoring sort of anti roughly sarah is the last refuge of the sound. first refuge of any british prime minister, politician who's in trouble at home. always, johnson has reached the drawer marked russia, syria when he was in big trouble. busy and in fact, you made that point, he said look, how can we be having any support at that point? we've been talking about a leadership congress, divorce, where we've got this big crisis in russia and ukraine and so truly convenient johnson. just think, kevin, who are the true leaders really, who have been hiking up this, this several price to be greg? it's joe biden. he's under a great pressure at home in america, and he's bar as john's

the bars, johnson, i don't think we can underestimates the kind of political damage this might do to boys johnson in the long run. he's a man who's been able to dodge scandal in the past. but this just doesn't simply look as if it's got a go away, a short notice. he's hunkering down one of his family members. we don't know which one has tested positive gove it. which means that he has a pretty good reason to not be in front of cameras defending his position. but the number of voice is clamoring for him to resign is growing not just from opposition . m p.
