UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson wins confidence vote


Listen Later

The Prime Minister of the UK secured the support of almost 60% of his party after many rebel politicians issued a vote of no confidence, we speak to our UK political correspondent Rob Watson to find out what this could mean for Boris Johnson. We ask American financial expert Peter Jankovskis what might happen to the British pound after this vote. As a major four day work week trial begins in the UK, we speak to Heather Payne, CEO of Juno College in the Canadian capital of Toronto, and is one of the first companies to adopt a four day working week in the country to find out the surprising effects the change has had on her school and staff. Heads of state from across the Americas are also heading to the United States to discuss inflation, climate change and migration, and we're speaking to the Antiguan Bardudan ambassador to the US, Sir Ronald Sanders who is attending the summit about what he hopes to discuss, and why Cuba and Nicaragua aren't invited.
