UK’s Boris Johnson faces resignations over scandal

Two key ministers plus a dozen lesser ministers have resigned from Boris Johnson’s government, with more expected. These officials are responding to Johnson's most recent scandal: defending the hiring of a minister with a long history of sexual misconduct. And in June, Gustavo Petro won the presidential election in Colombia and became the nation's first leftist president, joining a wave of other progressive politicians elected in Latin America. Will this leftward shift have a major impact on US foreign policy in the region? Plus, Georgia’s Soviet-era sanatoriums have provided shelter for decades for those fleeing conflict in the region. Now, Georgia’s government plans to restore the dilapidated buildings to boost tourism.
