First Address of New British Prime Minister Theresa May
May promises to fight for ordinary citizens; Violence in Kashmir; Venezuela food crisis
Britain's new prime minister, Theresa May has promised to fight for ordinary citizens, not the privileged few, in her first address outside Downing Street. She said Britain would forge a bold and positive role for itself in the world, as it left the European Union.
For decades, the region of Kashmir has been a major source of tension between India and Pakistan. The disputed region has already sparked two wars between both countries. And the violence is continuing.
Venezuela finds itself at the bottom of a very deep economic black hole. Venezuelans have been assigned just two shopping days a week, cash machines are limited to $8 per person per day and everything is in short supply, from drinking water to fuel.
