In the UK, Conservative Party politicians will begin voting today to replace David Cameron as their leader and British Prime Minister.

Theresa May looks like the favourite at the moment, but the Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom, has publicly received the backing of Boris Johnson for the job.

Michael Gove, Stephen Crabb and Liam Fox have also thrown their names in the hat.

First round results are expected at around seven this evening, when the candidate with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated.
