Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he did not lie to lawmakers, defending himself at a parliamentary hearing as part of a probe into whether he misled lawmakers over rule-breaking Covid-19 lockdown parties. "I'm here to say to you, hand on heart, that I did not lie to the House when those statements were made. They were made in good faith and on the basis of what I honestly knew and believed at the time," he told parliament's Committee of Privileges at the hearing. FRANCE 24's Rob Parsons tells us more.
