it would be a bittersweet revenge for theresa may. i still can't see boris johnson going quietly. this whole fantasy that we've heard of him sort of refusing to back off he is very much the par for the course. he is the center of attention and that is what he is looking for. from that point of view actually, it is another boris triumph of. everybody is talking about johnson. >> tim, one thing that certainly defined boris johnson era is how he constantly keeps everyone on the back foot, they are constantly surprised by what he does. we know he will resign but how do you think that he will handle it, will he even take to the lectern as his predecessors have done? >> if you thinks a show man like boris johnson won't take advantage of that one last time, i think that you've got another thing coming. he clearly will do that i think. i think there is a question as we've said about whether he can continue in post another three months. the prime minister has an awful lot of power. boris johnson is known to exercise that power and also in unconventional ways. i think that there would be qu

you know, theresa may talked about the good that government can do and that the state can do.hnson occasionally put the case for high public spending. now you have got a battle with two people claiming the thatcherite mantle in very different ways. so, it is a battle on the right of the tory party. the focus is on tax cuts — when is the debate, but not should there be them. there is no focus on the role of the state as demands on the state are growing. and, so, it is a return to that sort of 1980s thatcherism that very erratically the tory party have been trying to move away from. thatcherism is incidentally, absolutely a product of its time, the late �*70s and early �*80s — not the situation that we are in it now, but she cast a spell over its membership and these two candidates, and it is a very narrow contest in that respect. ashis, you were reporting from london when margaret thatcher was prime minister. as steve rightly says, the circumstances are different, but the debate is very much, it seems, over not just taxation and the fact we have got the largest tax burden since

this was their situation theresa may was in, i their situation theresa may was in, she was told by sirr. i think there is a real situation now where the labour party may well have to force a vote of no confidence and force members of parliament to demonstrate whether they truly have confidence in this man who has lost all shred of credibility. and let me say this in my capacity as shadow foreign secretary. last summer, we had the breaking, awful situation in afghanistan. there are very serious issues that can arise in a very tough geopolitical environment. we need a serious government to continue to take us forward, with rising inflation and stagnation in our economy. so for all those reasons, this is a time to get serious. i think the conservative party should heed the words of the former prime ministerjohn major in indicating that really borisjohnson is not fit to serve a day longer. but as i recall, the labour party was notjust critical of boris johnson during their withdrawal from afghanistan but also of dominic raab. now if the prime minister were to stand down, in the short term

is chosen and that would be unusual in the uk, the last two prime minister is david cameron and theresa may office as prime minister whilst the success of his chosen so what is likely is that we will see a conservative party leadership contest shortened from its normal six weeks or so that it took the last time round, to choose a new leader, and if at all possible the party will want to get someone in place by the end of august or the beginning of september. but we will not find out exactly what the timetable is that has been agreed until the beginning of next week. i'll come back to that contest in a moment. let's reflect on the statement. no apologies, no self reflection about probity, integrity or truth telling, was there? there was no apology — or truth telling, was there? there was no apology and _ or truth telling, was there? there was no apology and it _ or truth telling, was there? there was no apology and it was - or truth telling, was there? there was no apology and it was a - or truth telling, was there? there | was no apology and it was a pretty defiant speech from boris johnson

it does seem to be rather common over here. >> todd: watch theresa may thinking this morning?know. she hasn't said. she probably feels that she probably feels a certain degree of delight because she has huge antipathy toward boris johnson. probably having a private little quiet. here is the point, and i have to reemphasise it one more time. the threat the last couple of days isn't as the legacy of reputation. for boris johnson is the entirety of conservative movement in this country. it has been dragged to the mat over the course of the last week. people in the streets openly say that conservatives were all cheats, they are all liars, they're all abusers. it's bad, pretty bad. so whatever she may think privately, the fact is the conservative tribe needs to get back together, we assess its core values, it back to being a part of truth and integrity. if it does that, we have a chance of the next election. otherwise, were going to finish up -- it's not the extreme anti-semitic hard left. we'll up with a liberal socialist style administration, which i think -- it really is the con

david cameron and theresa may were both able to serve in the role of caretaker effectively commit theresa decisions that need to be made. sir john major, as we were reporting, has said maybe there should be an interim prime minister or may be a streamlined quicker election process. would you be in favour of either of those and if so who should be the interim prime minister, or caretaker? i be the interim prime minister, or caretaker?— caretaker? i think it is clear, there is a — caretaker? i think it is clear, there is a divergence - caretaker? i think it is clear, there is a divergence of- caretaker? i think it is clear, i there is a divergence of opinion amongst conservative mps, some believe the prime minister should continue as caretaker. i am probably more inclined at a view that if we were going into a more lengthy process that perhaps we would have another individual as the caretaker prime minister, but actually, it is not so much about the individual, it is about what they do in that office, because effectively what has happened this afternoon is that boris johnson's happened this

theresa may resigned in late may or said she would resign in june we didn't have a new leader of the conservative party and a new prime minister until late july the process could be elongated and actually see boris johnson in his position until the autumn is what we understand. there is a big but, such is the corrosion and distaste with leadership and anger with boris johnson that many conservative party mps would not want him as care caretaker. it could be dominik robb or somebody else. it goes to the mps in parliament conservative mps vote in various rounds and they pick two candidates and they go to the conservative party members that is how it works in the uk >> you made it clear as always steve sedgwick outside 10 downing street we could get a resignation and same man at 10 downing street for a few more months. fascinating. steve sedgwick, thank you. we will update you on everything that is happening with that story from england he could resign any moment if he does, we will go to that >>> in the meantime, the federal reserve increasingly losing credibility with investigators, b

theresa may's brexit plans hit the buffers and tory mps saw him as the man to get it done.reet with a team willing to ignore the usual conventions of politics. at the time, many mps were determined to stop the uk leaving the eu without a deal. mrjohnson asked the queen to suspend parliament, a move deemed unlawful in the supreme court, and kicked more than 20 tory mps out of the party. david gauke was one of them. he was prepared to adopt tactics that other prime ministers would not have adopted, prepared to use language that other prime ministers would not have been prepared to adopt. basically, because he felt that the rules didn't apply to him. the problem is that the approach that he took over brexit is also the approach that he has taken over other matters, personal as well as policy. to break the deadlock, an election was called and the conservatives won their biggest majority in more than 30 years. for his new government, though, everything was put on hold when it was hit by the worst health crisis in modern times. from this evening, i must give the british people a

great britain votes to leave the european union after a successful campaign then prime minister theresa may unexpectedly appoints johnson as foreign minister was so unexpected that diplomats hung up each other 's phones asking if it was a joke, and the new minister continued to confuse the british with his antics, sometimes finding himself in an awkward situation when the brexit dispute led to the resignation of theresa may, the conservatives bet on a person who seemed to guarantee them victory in the first few months of johnson's premiership brexit remained the biggest problem of political players different factions of the parliament were full of resolve it to influence this process or to stop it in the end johnson is going to the elections under the slogan get brexit dan, that is, to embody the nonsense, the election campaign turned out to be extremely successful, fundamentally changing the political landscape of the country for the conservative party, the election result became the best since 1987. and for johnson himself, it partially wrote off his previous ones sins, the way for great

what theresa may used to call perhaps a citizen of the world, a citizen of nowhere.ematic. and penny mordaunt is this sort of blank canvas - for many people. and that is a strength. people can project- onto her what they want. she was a brexiteer - but she is also very socially liberal. and making people nervous, stephanie? it is a really interesting - mixture, and she has a sort of navy background which ticks boxes in the conservative - party. so, she is an interesting mixture of pot pourri - policies and background. i was standing next to her party group on wednesday evening trying to do a broadcast. there was a brass band playing, notjust various military themes and the national anthem, even a selection from mary poppins, which was rather intriguing. we were getting a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, which i wondered how that would translate to policy terms! yeah, i think this leadership race is so different from previous ones because there is no clear winner that has emerged quickly, like it has in the past. and the other thing is because the torie

if you think back to just after the referendum from theresa may to boris johnson, there are often verytimes. this is certainly one of them. it is very difficult to predict exactly how quickly things will change. it certainly feels we are on the precipice of a major shift. tom: you are an expert of the special relationship between the u.s. and the u.k.. i believe we celebrated that relationship july 4. we look at the special relationship and the question is the prime minister stands before the house of commons, how alone is he and hollande is the u.k. in global political economics? leslie: it is a funny moment for the u.s. and the u.k. we have just come out of a tremendously successful nato, the adoption of a new strategic concept where the u.s. and the u.k. are at the forefront of repositioning and tumbling down on a nato's commitment to defending its eastern flank, supporting ukraine. the u.k. is active in that -- active in ukraine. we have had the tragedy of the shooting haven't park. britain looks at america and it does not understand how this has happened and how the u.s. will come

the level that he faced was higher than theresa may. and theresa may, lacked governing majority.e going to see from boris johnson in the coming months and years, is an effort to refashion the narrative that he was pushed out unjustly, that he was someone who won the historic collection, being in the majority since 1987. he used the word herd, stampeded, panicked. panics and moves en masse without thinking. that's the impression he wants to leave. his m.p.s got spooked. and margaret thatcher did something similar. she spent the following years not being helpful to her successor, john major, and fashioning the narrative that she had been made. and it took hold. >> true to warm, boris johnson didn't express much contrition here. blaming everyone but himself. is that his own personal style? does he do that all the time? or is that setting himself up for return later on the? >> it was a resignation of a violation of laws. that hasn't happened much in british history. look why prime ministers have resigned in the past, it's done to events like world war ii, or brexit, or the suez war.

would theresa may fancy it? laughs: look, i don't think...ything i hear, i don't think there is going to be a caretaker prime minister in the sense of somebody else coming into that role. and what does an opposition party leader do on a day like this? one option is to smile and go and watch some tennis at wimbledon, having said this about boris johnson. .. he needs to go completely, none of this nonsense about clinging on for a few months. he's inflicted lies, fraud and chaos in the country, and, you know, we're stuck with a government which isn't functioning. there will be an overwhelming and very widespread sense - of relief today that i borisjohnson's time as prime minister, which should probably never have been - allowed to happen in the first place, is coming to an end. l the problem is the conservative party, conservative mps, have stood by him for so long. they propped him up, they enabled him to fail to lead our country properly, and my heart goes out to the millions of families and pensioners who have not been helped properly because

parliament and be a thorn in the side of the next prime minister as his pet assessor has been -- as theresa may been for him or will he continue as a journalist and deliver speeches around the world? it was a fiery performance by boris johnson in the house of commons today. mp's rose to their feet to clap him out when the session was finished. it was the same mp's brought him down. after a string of resignations and letters of no-confidence submitted in boris johnson which has triggered the leadership contest now and await. >> what about the two candidat? what for and chase them and how contentious is this likely to be? parks i think we are in for a feisty few weeks ahead. the candidates who have been chosen to face the final runoff of conservative party members are diamrically opposed in terms of economic policy at least. in the early stages where mp's have narrowed down to the final two, the foreign secretary has been talking about immediate tax cuts as soon as she takes office. she says that' the way to stimulate economic growth and ease the crisis for many. re-she soon at -- sunak has talke

reminds me that one political columnist tried to describe penny mordant as possibly being like theresa maygger hair. you can see what happens when people aren't well known. i am amazed, 11% of the british people would be able to identify her, or any of them, apart from boris johnson and rishi sunak, important thing to remember at this point is ether penny mordant or any of them is known to the british public, that is not what we are dealing with, we are dealing with 100,000 200,000 conservative grass party -- grassroots party activists who tend to be further right than the conservative party and certainly further right than the average brit. it suggests penny mordant is right up there street. rishi sunak would have a fight on his hands. >> the attorney general isow backing liz truss. and ms. braverman was a laminated earlier today. the italian president, sergio ldau -- sergio mattarella has rejected the resignation officer of prime minister mario draghi, who lost support from his coalition. his coalition was divided over economic policy and support for ukraine. mr. draghi came to office as

who exactly turned out to be glad of johnson's resignation was the former prime minister theresa may, 3 years ago not of her own free will, unlike the other deputies, she did not applaud johnson until the last moment and showed her displeasure with what was happening. for example, the minister of italy failed to resign, the senate expressed confidence in the head of the cabinet, mario draghi and his minister, 95 senators voted for a quorum ; ruling coalition of the movement. five stars. forward italy and the league refused to participate in the vote. at the same time, the italian tv channel raya news24, citing sources in the presidential palace , reports draghi. he will most likely resign. and maybe tomorrow. the arctic territories of russia will be cleared of garbage in 3-5 years , the head of rosprirodnadzor svetlana rodionova said in an interview with our channel, by the way, now thousands of people are following the fate of the polar bear, which came to people for help in the village of dikson a can of condensed milk is stuck in the mouth of an exhausted predator . well, zinaibato
