Business Matters: UK Prime Minister May Survives Leadership Challenge

UK Prime Minister May Survives Leadership Challenge

BBC World Service - Business Matters, UK Prime Minister May Survives Leadership Challenge

But will her Brexit plan come to fruition?

Theresa May has survived a vote of no confidence in her leadership of her governing Conservative Party. The BBC's UK Political Correspondent Rob Watson has been following developments at Westminster. The Indian rupee has lost more than 10% of its value against the dollar in 2018 - making it the worst performing Asian currency this year. While it has shown signs of a rebound in the last two weeks – the weak rupee is creating challenges for the Indian economy, as Sameer Hashmi reports. France's President Macron has come under fire recently for being seen as disconnected from voters. We ask leadership coach Christine Comerford from the SmartTribes Institute for her assessment of leaders including Mr Macron and UK Prime Minister Theresa May. Evelyn Berezin, the woman who created and sold what many recognise as the world's first word processor has died aged 93. Matthew Kirschenbaum, Professor of English and Digital Studies at the University of Maryland, tells us about her influence on modern computing. 

Presenter Roger Hearing is joined by Peter Morici, Professor of International Business at the University of Maryland and Jyoti Malhotra, Editor of National & Strategic Affairs at The Print website in Delihi.
