For Boris Johnson, securing Brexit will be a difficult task

Season 2019 Episode 229 | 10m 48s

Boris Johnson, one of Britain’s most eccentric and recognizable politicians, will become its next prime minister. The former mayor of London beat fellow Conservative Jeremy Hunt to take on what some say is the country’s greatest challenge since World War II: exiting the European Union. Special correspondent Ryan Chilcote reports and Amna Nawaz talks to Anand Menon of King’s College London.
