Brexit: Theresa May to Join EU Summit After Surviving Vote

BBC World Service - World Update, Brexit: Theresa May to Join EU Summit After Surviving Vote

The UK Prime Minister is returning to Brussels to discuss the Irish border

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is heading to Brussels for an EU summit after surviving a vote of confidence.

The prime minister is seeking legally binding pledges from EU leaders on the "backstop" - the plan to avoid a return to a manned Northern Ireland border.

Also on the programme: We look at Hungary's proposed new court system which critics say would allow political interference; and we get the latest on the detaining of two Canadian citizens in China as tensions between the two nations rise.
