BBC World Service - Weekend, British PM's future in the balance

After sacking her Chancellor can Liz Truss stay in her job?

Can the British PM remain in post after sacking her Chancellor for an economic policy she was elected on.

Also in the programme: British documentary filmmaker, Adam Curtis, on his new work entitled 'Russia 1985-1999: Traumazone' that chronicles the end of communism and the economic shock therapy of the 1990s.

Joining Rebecca Kesby to discuss these and other stories are Helene von Bismarck, a German historian and author specialised in Britain’s international relations; and Rana Mitter, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China at Oxford University.
