Britain has its fourth prime minister in six years, after Liz Truss visited Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland for the royal handshake, a formality that propelled her to head of government, and to become the third female prime minister of the country. Thus ends the Boris Johnson era, signified by high drama, a litany of scandals, and a country in deep crisis. The challenges facing Prime Minister Truss are monumental, with high inflation and soaring energy bills. To discuss her daunting in-tray and the UK’s future on the international stage, Christiane speaks with Labour member of the House of Lords Valerie Amos and Britain’s former man in Washington Peter Westmacott.
Also on today's show: International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Grossi; Jackson, Mississippi Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba.
