Johnson set to resign as UK Prime Minister: What's next?

Description

Johnson finally agreed to step down after one of his closest allies, Treasury chief Nadhim Zahawi, told the prime minister to resign for the good of the country. It was not immediately clear whether Johnson will stay in office while the Conservative Party chooses a new leader, who will automatically become prime minister as well. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Commentator Douglas Herbert gives his perspective.
