Is the Resignation of a British Minister Globally Relevant?
Following an OS report on the resignation of a UK minister, one listener thinks this isn鈥檛 global news, and the producer of 鈥業n the Studio with Lee Child鈥� answers your questions.
International Development Secretary Priti Patel became the second cabinet minister to leave Theresa May鈥檚 government in recent weeks, after unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials. On 大象传媒 World Service, the story was broken on Newshour and featured in OS the following day. Listener Piet Boon from Amsterdam questions OS editor Simon Peeks about why this Britain-focused story is relevant to a global news audience.
And, 大象传媒 producer Kevin Core observed Lee Child as he began work on his 23rd Jack Reacher thriller for the World Service programme In the Studio. Kevin spent three days in the author鈥檚 Manhattan apartment as he wrote the first pages of a new novel entitled Yesterday. Rajan puts questions to Kevin from a panel of listeners who are curious to hear more about his unusual experience.
