To see news from around the world, we now turn to Matthew Ashley standing in the Arirang newsroom. Good morning. Good morning. Let’s start with the UK, where two senior ministers have resigned in protest of the current leadership. Yes, in a blow to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Health Minister Sajid Javid resigned on Tuesday. In their resignation letter, they said the government should be run correctly, competently and seriously (quote), and they lost confidence in Johnson’s leadership. Meanwhile, during the livestream, Conservative Party vice-chairman Bim Afolami announced he was also stepping down. The development comes after the latest scandal to rock Johnson’s government, with groping allegations against Tory deputy chief whip Chris Pincher emerging last week. Downing Street has been unable to explain Pincher’s position in the government because of previous allegations of misconduct and the ongoing investigation Johnson had known about when he promoted the former foreign minister. Johnson later admitted that the appointment of Pincher was a mistake. The incident comes as Johnson survived a confidence vote last month that showed 41 percent of his party rejected him.
