or if there is a no-confidence vote in the government passed in the house of commons. given they have an 80 seat majority, that, too, seems unlikely. so the merry-go-round begins again. the really terrifying thing is not so much who is in charge but what they're able to pass in terms of legislation while they are prime minister. and something which is scarcely reported in the press, and it is just a beggars belief we are not all screaming about this, was the public auto bill that was passed through the house of commons just a few days ago by the home secretary the day before she was pushed out of office, like all tory casual iced workers in our economy, as soon as you're done with business, she was checked out. in this public auto bill is the most repressive legislation ever experienced in the u.k. in the modern era and potentially the most repressive legislation in any oecd member in recent times. if you have protested in their previous five years, you can be forced to wear an electronic tag and have your home fitted with monitoring equipment. you can be forced to rep

this was the fracking work vote result as it was announced in the house of commons earlier this evening. >> order. >> the ayes to the right, 230. no's to the left, 326. >> order. the aye's to the right, 230. no's to the left, 326. the no's have it. >> that was the deputy speaker of the house confirming that result. fracking is not particularly controversial in the united states for example but it is in the u.k.. the government was elected on a manifesto that opposed a moratorium on fracking. the proposal from liz tss's drive to get growth in the british economy is to allow fracking to take place but only in areas where there is public support. a lot of conservative mps are uncomfortable about that. labor put down this motion to try and embarrass the government, persuade some tory mps to oppose the government. they said it was a vote of confidence which forced mps back on their side. it would endanger the future of the government. government has a parliamentary majority of 86, so it should not be endangered by anything. that gives you an idea of how nervous the political environment has

she's the leader of the house of commons. she is also the president of the privy council. and she handled the exception council for king charles iii, following the death of her majesty. i think with immense dignity and courage. and she has conducted herself absolutely properly throughout my entire knowledge of her in the house of commons. she's a unifier, she's a team leader, she's a team player, she is exactly the kind of person that we need to bring the party together. but were she not to make the cut, i would say that i would support cheerfully any other candidate and give them my full support who does emerge as the leader, save mrjohnson, why art indicated i'm afraid i will never, ever support. 5ir indicated i'm afraid i will never, ever smart-— at ten o'clock, we will have a full round—up of the days news, but first — 0ccupied. a warning this programme contains distressing images of war and description of torture. when i saw these driving to my treat, i knew it had happened. the russian army has come. when i saw tanks driving to my treat, i knew it had happened.

effectively by not telling the house of commons the truth. that is a very serious offense and i cannot see any return for government for mr. johnson, not just in any prime minister but in any shape or form while the investigation is continuing into a very serious matter. that is why he was removed by his parliamentary colleagues. >> let's suppose that there is a world where boris johnson comes back as prime minister and that committee hearing is continuing. what are the implications of it? >> we are looking for a unity candidate and not a divisive candidate. the conservative party has to rally around whichever of the significant contenders is finally selected not later than next friday in order to enable the chancellor who is not standing for the leadership to present his fiscal statement supported, we hope and trust but the office of budget responsibility. that is the way we shall take not just the party, but the country out of the slightly unfortunate circumstances we find ourselves in. if mr. johnson was injected into that equation, there

appearance in the house of commons prior to premisejust appearance in the house of commons prior to premise just questions and the feeling was that if she survived that without dropping the ball, she was probably going to be seen for a couple of weeks, at least until finance ministers and the exchequer, who was brought in after being forced out of the predecessor and abandoned the economic plans, because of those concerns of the money markets were going to put up the cost of lending to the british government significantly and so, a customerfor government significantly and so, a customer for the government significantly and so, a customerfor the british government significantly and so, a customer for the british one government significantly and so, a customerfor the british one point to borrow money that the greeks were the italians but they're more troubled economic history and therefore, the thought was she had a bit of time and outlooks after the resignation of the home secretary the time is running out the new home secretary, let's listen to what he had to sayjust after he was ap

and the labor government will care per shell is the chief of staff of the house of commons. she said that johnson, that would be a good candidate. i think it is absolutely imperative that the conservative party comes together behind a candidate that is going to unite the policy and therefore help the country. this is the real problem is that we are looking for a unity candidate in a policy where there is no unity. so it is incredibly difficult to coalesce around one particular pass that he would be a great catch that penny moves and also would probably be able to. ready look off the old wings of the conservative party and bring the contract. we've seen what she's capable of during the leadership election, but it really is now down to the last wire for the conception policy to produce this cast it. we have a week now to get a new prime minister in place before the country really does tell us that they've had enough. and that is now just been lost. so all of the work that we have done, especially in the last decade, has just almost been ripped up in front of us. i think it is

what on earth is going on in the house of commons? it wasn't an easy question to answer and then came the moment live on bbc news when many felt like the dam had broken. i am livid and i really shouldn't say this but i hope all those people that put liz truss in number 10, i hope it was worth it, for the ministerial red box, i hope it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table, because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. the conservative mpjohnny mercer retweeted that video adding, "f me, he has nailed it, every word." maria caulfield wrote:. the confusion deepened further after reports that chief whip and deputy whip were saying they had resigned — we were then told they hadn't. the bbc news at ten wanted to clear one thing up. is this government functioning in any meaningful way? no. this day when the government was self—combusting was also a day of profound worry for many. figures show the cost of living is rising at the fastest rate for a0 years. what is life like trying to get by? it is very hard. the ra

the thrust of it is whether borisjohnson knowingly misled the house of commons and misled the house of commons and misled mps about his statement that no rules were broken throughout that period when there were accusations that downing street broke the rules during lockdown. there is an investigation by the privileges committee, a cross—party group of mps which looks into whether mps have broken the rules with relation to certain privileges they have in the house of commons. deliberately misleading mps are seen as about the worst thing you can do as an mp or a minister in government. if boris johnson were to be found to have done that once the committee comes over all the evidence and writes its report and they suggest he should face a sanction for it, which could potentially see him lose his seat in parliament will be suspended, that would create huge pressure on him to resign. many people say his position would be untenable at that point. as things stand, that report is coming and it will reach a conclusion. so if borisjohnson were to be installed as prime minister again, that woul

the leader of the you case, house of commons, penny mordant, has officially entered the fray to become the new prime minister. she's one of the top 3 candidates emerging to replace the very short lived leaderless trust. former chancellor richey soon act reportedly has the backing of more than 50 impedes so far. that would put him half way to the nomination. they need a 100 and piece to back them. and former prime minister for his johnson is also gathering supporters among them. defense secretary ben wallace. you really have to want to do the prime minister to do that job. you have to really, really think it, it's the job for you. for me, i feel that i can add the best value in keeping people safe at defense by being with defense cetera is the issue of the mandate. this will be potentially off. the 3rd prime minister seems to general less than $2900.00. that means we have to think about that, which is the jim c question that the public will be asking themselves, and also about who could win the next election that obviously important for any political party at the time. so at the moment

house of commons about business is actually bloody hard. it is really hard work to start a business. it's stressful, it's difficult, it takes time, sweat, money, you know, your whole family very often put on the line, you know, and particularly when you're running your own business and can't rely on the paycheque coming in every month. that is a psychology that we have to grasp if we're going to help more people do more of that to build those businesses, that will bring the growth we need. and my sense is that that's fed into the way you've operated as a politician. you were at westminster council for a long time. i think you became deputy leader at one point. for five years i was deputy leader. that council, people of a certain age will remember, has always had a reputation for bearing down on spending, for promoting value for money, not without controversy over the years. but did that experience in council shape your view of national politics now, which is to be more demanding about what you get for your money? you're absolutely right. it

the house of commons. what do you make of that? >> it was such a mad day, one thing after another. you could see the government and they just did not know if they were coming or going. the prime minister just could not cope, and then we see how you ended up actually losing the home secretary as well, so we have the treasury side going and the home secretary side going as well, and the reason why she went, again, is very important. then you come to how you got to a situation where they were almost physically pushing people, intimidating people to make sure they toe the government line. you can see how this is not a government in any sort of order at all. >> the government did, by the way, when that, but by a slim margin. >> still to come, the united nations security council to discuss iranian-made kamikaze drones in ukraine. and 20 explosions hit one of me and mark's most notorious prisons. -- between explosions hit one of myanmar's most notorious prisons. ♪ >> hello, once again. i'm afraid there is more
