    Village house conversions in Northern Metropolis / British PM Keir Starmer resignation / Poverty reduction report

    On this programme, officials join us to shed insight on a policy paper that aims to boost rural tourism. Residents in two villages will be able to convert their houses into restaurants, guest houses or shops without prior application. 
    After the break, we hear from a political pundit on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepping down from the head of the ruling Labour Party, paving the way for Britain getting its seventh PM in just over a decade. What kind of legacy does Starmer leave, and how much work lies ahead for the person who replaces him?
    And finally, we speak with another lawmaker after the government released a report on the impact of targeted poverty alleviation in the city.
