In Britain, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under renewed pressure after his Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigned today and is expected to launch a leadership bid. Former Deputy leader Angela Raynor might also announce a bid for the leadership today after she announced that she has been cleared in a probe into her tax affairs. Starmer says he will not resign and is likely to fight any leadership challenges. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in London, Bénédicte Paviot.
