BBC World Service - Weekend, Process to elect new UK Prime Minister begins

Britain's Conservative Party is beginning a process to elect country’s new leader.

Britain's Conservative Party is beginning a weekend of intense maneuvering  as it rushes to appoint a new leader to take over from Prime Minister Liz Truss who resigned three days ago.
We also find out why the Chinese former leader Hu Jintao has been mysteriously led out of the closing ceremony of the Communist Party Congress in Beijing.
And we speak to a young Russian who has refused to fight in the war in Ukraine saying there’s no threat to his country.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani, a Nigerian novelist and journalist and Bruce Daisley, a British writer, consultant on workplace culture and former Vice president of Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Twitter.
