Chancellor Sebastian Kurz resigns amid corruption inquiry

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz resigns amid corruption inquiry.

Austria's leader, Sebastian Kurz, steps down after pressure triggered by a corruption scandal.

Also in the programme: We speak to North Macedonia's deputy Foreign Minister, Nikola Dimitrov, about tensions with Bulgaria and the question of EU enlargement. And a year ago this week, a sit-in outside the governor's office in Lagos sparked a protest movement across the world. We hear from one of the protest organisers.

Our panellists this week are Jana Puglierin, German political analyst and head of European Council on Foreign Affairs in Berlin and Bulama Bukarti, Nigerian analyst at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change here in London.
