Key Ally of Prime Minister May Sacked
First Secretary of State Damian Green has been sacked following a misconduct inquiry
Damian Green, one of Theresa May's closest allies, has been sacked from the cabinet after an inquiry found he had breached the ministerial code.
He was "asked to quit" after he was found to have made "inaccurate and misleading" statements about what he knew about claims pornography was found on his office computer in 2008.
We get reaction from Westminster from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Alex Forsyth.
Also on the programme; we hear about a row between Poland and the rest of the European Union, President Trump is celebrating the safe progress of his landmark tax reform bill, but not everyone is happy. Democratic Congressman David Price tells us why he voted against the bill. And, why Swedes are fighting to maintain their work life balance.
Roger Hearing will be joined throughout the programme from Washington DC by Peter Morici, Professor of international business at the University of Maryland, and from London by the writer and broadcaster, Sarah El Rashidi. They'll also be joined from Kolkata by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Rahul Tandon.
