BBC World Service - Business Matters, Boris Johnson wins race to become UK's next prime minister

The former foreign secretary will take over from Theresa May on Wednesday.

The former foreign secretary and London mayor will take over from Theresa May on Wednesday. Johnson has said he will do 'whatever it takes' to get the UK out of the EU by 31 October. We get analysis and reaction from Stephen Pope, Forbes columnist and finance professor at University of Maryland University College. The US government announces it will investigate whether the big tech firms are unfairly restricting competition. Our North America technology correspondent Dave Lee tells us why they've come under the spotlight.

Nigel Cassidy is joined throughout the programme by Sushma Ramachandran, former chief business correspondent for the Hindu, who's in Delhi, and Jason Abbruzzese, senior tech editor at NBC News in New York.
