's talking about the herd mentality and talking about months of what he called sledging, suggesting that it was all a personal attack on him via the unpopularity that's reflected in the opinion polls and in those 2 by elections that the conservatives last. so that's where we're at at the moment he says he has put in place a new cabinet and he says that he can continue in the interim to carry owner not to hand over, for example, to deputy prime minister dominic rob and of him. so he

scores of band munitions allegedly planted by ukrainian troops before they fled. freedom of the press, the u. k. government moved to ban social networks from deleting news articles without appeal, but in a usual case of western double standards, it has excluded archie. hundreds of people in kenya take to the streets and protest against rapidly rising cost of living with many in the east african nation thing. they can no longer put food on the table. i got with broadcasting, lot of director of studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us there. we start with the latest from the front lines of the war in ukraine, ukraine's shelling of residential areas and danielle crew, public on friday, reportedly killed at least 3 civilians. that included one in the city of got a lot come where the local mayor released images of the attacks aftermath. local authority said residential buildings and public infrastructure came under fire, wounding at least 11 people, including 3 children. the capital city done yet was also targeted with 2 women reportedly kille

u. k is high court now decides whether to allow assange to appeal against an extradition that press freedom group say would put journalists everywhere at risk. the american pursuit of assange is far more than a question of law. it's about geo politics. u. s. allies like sweden, the u. k and australia. have all assisted washington on this. support for assange has been growing and australia, his birthplace now has a prime minister who, while in opposition wanted him released. has anthony albanese changed his to and if he hasn't, will it make a difference? our starting point this week is wiki leeks, the work a sanchez news organization did that landed him in jail. ah, it's easy to get buried in the be galleries of the case against juliet, the jurisdictional questions, the extradition law, the accusations of a legal hacking and espionage what can get lost is the journalism assange and wiki leaks produced starting in the mid to thousands that new south left around the world went to town, including what we learned about american wars in afghanistan, and then iraq. what they couldn't tolerate was

u. k. italy, united states have been pressing hard for these elections at the moment. but with the, with the united nations security council that's going to be an issue. and it's sort of forcing you know, or politically to start to go ahead with that and given, given when the, when you chose the, given the mutual disappointment with their leaders in both the east and the west of the country is this disillusionment essentially the glue that brings the country together well, well exactly. i mean the focus to be honest that they've not been organized by any particular group. people absolutely frustrated all over and they like to do one thing. they have absolutely enough and they want their voice to be heard. and i think one of the issues with the united nations and then ask you, it is that they themselves are not with people. they've chosen a few leaders here and there and want them to make decisions on behalf of your people. unfortunately, they're making decisions based on their own interests. it's time for the people to get to the head and like any other country in the

he previously served as head of political press in downing street and director of communications for the u. k. conservative party. he joined us now live far from london. good. have you with us, giles, your reaction 1st of all to that is that boris johnson will resign today. yeah, i mean, finally he started on the right thing. we have this whole school our, i think it's been unprecedented in british politics where he was cleaning or boy singing nails effectively. you have a prime minister. he's been in office, but not really important now that well, if that should be an open contact race before the next to him, that this leadership race track go to months and months because it won't do that much. tori hodge, but also currently the last in the country need 20 parts of thing and it needs the leadership. i've been to the point. i know the points chose to said that he intended to stay on until the concert, the part of comments, you know, to me, that position is completely unsustainable, untenable to happy go by them to the fact. if you have 5 minutes, the squatting in time for 2 months to 2 and a

press office is wandering right now. what, what kind of other sanctions could possibly be imposed on the channel when it no longer broadcasts in the u. k, or europe? what do you think about that yet? well that's, that's, it is now i'm not sure where they can go from there. don't think there's any further assumptions that they could impose. but, you know, again, you know, just to reiterate the use of sanctions to control the median, i would say is an absolute clump down on press freedom. and we've seen this time and time again from the government, which insisted it, you know, that it stands up for the truth. but they, they're, you know, they're sensing the truth. and i think that that's a very, very worrying precedent. and especially because, you know, the situation is, is, is very difficult. and i think people are now starting to see through the narrative that is being put forward, but by the western western press. because there are, you know, some journalists in social media is helping to cut through a lot of that. but this is, this is, i said this is state censorship. nothing.

u. k . very good to have the weather, sir. it looks like though even the tory supporting press on much of it seems to have turned against the prime minister. what's your assessment of where forest johnson stands at the moment? i think his days are numbered. i think it's quite possible that he may be out by the end of this week. it looks as if that may well be a little change to allow the parliamentary party to trigger another to the confidence in boris johnson. and if the numbers of people coming out against him now previously voted for him in the loss of confidence, anything to go by, he won't survive that. one of our present previous guests we were talking to about 25 minutes or so ago was suggesting that part of the things, one of the things that has kept bars, johnson in office is the fact that there's been no obvious opponent to him to his, his leadership, what do you make of the fact that we've seen this statement from sasha david of course, and we would imagine we're waiting for a statement from richie sooner as well. both of whom have left the cabinet. well, i think by passing the company name essentially a contest is pre

press, freedom of expression on the white hands are all the other hand. they want to really eliminate those information, which is against the information presented by the u. k. government, all the official areas of the great britain. now this is dangerous because eventually who will suffer? it will be the people in the united kingdom because they will be deprived of sources of information. sometimes it may be different from the positions taken by the cake element, but whether the u. k. couple of pollution is absolutely or only tools, nothing but the true position. it's doubtful and it has always been doubtful throughout the ages. and i think the people need to have the right to get access to information. and it will be impossible to really completely brack out the internet as far as information which may be different for yours. and eventually the people need to have access to really different sources and different kinds of things to make their own judgment. the israel defense forces has exonerated itself of killing sharina, a clay concluding her death was unintentional. the palestinian journalist was shot dead in the west bank in may. the idea of investigat

press there at that g. 20 meeting in bali. rob, thank you for that. let's move on to some other these now because boys johnson has resigned as lead of the u. k. is ruling conservative party setting the stage for a leadership race that could take weeks. you'll continue as caretaker, prime minister until party members elect his successor. but calls are growing for his immediate departure, where we challenge report from london, british politics that brilliant darwinian system as maurice johnson put it, punishes vulnerability. good afternoon everybody. and even the man once famously described as a greased piggly, it couldn't wriggle out of this one. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. but then the brakes going, but not yet gone. forest, the prime minister is to become boris. the caretaker, prime minister. it is clearly not the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that should be a new leader of that party. and apple, a new prime minister. and i agree with the great brady, the chairman of our back bench, m p. 's. that the process of choosing that new data should begin now, and the time table will be a

been so much of that over recent days in the press because these islands are usually pretty chilly and damp so this kind of thing is very, very unusual. the u. k. government is put in place an unprecedented read extreme health warning if the temperatures get over $38.00 degrees that will break records . these islands not use to temperatures into the high thirty's and above. so there are measures being taken being put in place. they are expecting lots of ambulance cool out today. some schools closing lee or even not opening its whole the transport system, much of the rail network is going to be having go slow speed limits on it. there is one big part of one of the main lines from london to the northern city of leads and york, which is not gonna be running a tall tomorrow. so basically this country is kind of buckling down and making sure that it can get through this period of hot weather unscathed because of course this source, a temperature in a, in a warming world is going to get more and more common. when we say that for the time being because i want to give you a bit more context about what all this all means. so let's take a look at exactl

press closer. eastern city is the next target in moscow site. does it look take control of the entire mass region? well, the political turmoil in the u. k comes as the country struggles with high inflation and a cost of living crisis. vicky price is an economist and former government advisor . she joins us live now from london. thanks very much for speaking to vicky. so i want to start by asking you about the resignation letter from former chancellor ritchie. soon as he seemed to suggested that been tension with the prime minister on his approach to the economy. he said, if something is too good to be true, then it's not true. he said, has this government been honest with the public about the severity of the economic crisis and the problems that lie ahead? what we have seen is that the public is getting increasingly concerned and quite a lot of, of the opinion polls recently and lots of surveys done by various organizations, including the british chambers of commerce, for example. and the work done by the consideration of british industry do suggest that there are serious concerns right now about the way forward and the fact that everyo
