U.K.: Prime Minister May Faces Leadership Challenge
---------------------------------------------------

In Britain, Prime Minister Theresa May is facing a leadership challenge
after members of her Conservative Party triggered a vote of "no
confidence." Conservative lawmakers are set to vote today. If May loses,
she would have to step down immediately. The vote comes as May is facing
major hurdles in trying to pass a Brexit deal. Earlier this week, she
halted a parliamentary vote on the deal after she failed to garner
sufficient support within her own party.
