Post-Brexit UK to reshape its foreign policy
The government is pledging to reshape the UK's foreign and defence policy.
The world needs "Global Britain" more than ever the Prime Minister will declare today.
But what does that phrase Global Britain mean?
That is the question which is meant to be answered by what is being billed as the biggest review of foreign defence and security policy for a generation. The first since the UK abandoned its foreign policy of the past half a
century by leaving the EU.
The review identifies the threats Britain may face - global terrorism, Russia and China and a response - a smaller army, more defence spending on cyber, space, nuclear warheads and the formation of new alliances.
Radio 4's Nick Robinson spoke to Sir Alex Younger, former head of MI6 and the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
