Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson resigns

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has resigned -- saying Theresa May's policy is killing the Brexit dream. The Prime Minister insists her plan is the right one. Is Theresa May going to be brought down by the issue of Europe? We hear from the leave and remain wings of the Conservative party and we ask if the divisions over Europe pose an existential threat for the Tories. And what do European politicians make of the political turmoil in Britain? We get the view from the European Parliament and debate Britain's standing in the world.
