In the Spotlight on Prime Time this week, Bharati Jagdish speaks with Rob Hugh-Jones, Editor at the BBC in London, on several global news making headlines this week. First they touched on reactions to the UK’s mini-budget, where the British pound tumbled to a record low as traders scampered for the exits on speculation that the new government’s economic plan will stretch its finances to the limit. They also discuss Italy's first female Prime Minister, the referenda in Ukraine and former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s state funeral taking place tomorrow.
