British PM May Calls Shock Snap Election

Available for over a year

UK Prime Minister Theresa May has announced plans to call a snap general election on June 8. She said Britain needed certainty, stability and strong leadership following the EU referendum. We have reaction from Westminster, and across the UK to the shock news. Also on the programme, "Buy American, Hire American," that's the slogan of the day from the White House. With President Trump again talking up his jobs drive during a trip to the northern state of Wisconsin, we hear from Jason Abbruzzese of US news website Mashable on the President's latest jobs push. And, cycling in China. Why the bicycle boom is unclogging air pollution, but still clogging the country's streets. The BBC's Fergus Nicoll will be joined throughout the programme from New York by Jason Abbruzzese of Mashable, and from Dehli by senior journalist and president of South Asian Women in Media Jyoti Malhotra. They'll also be joined from Kolkata by the BBC's Rahul Tandon. Picture: London, United Kingdom.
