UK đź”´ LIVE: Prime Minister’s Questions with British Sign Language (BSL) – 24 June 2026

Source: United Kingdom UK Parliament (video statements)

Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.

In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.

The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.

In an increasingly complex ecosystem, how must the relationship between technology, industry and finance evolve to turn investment into enduring innovation?

Can Intelligence Feed the World?

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Food security has emerged as a critical challenge, defined by access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. As AI becomes a new frontier in food systems, with applications ranging from accelerating ingredient discovery to enabling precision agriculture, the gap between pilot initiatives and large-scale deployment remains substantial, particularly in Asia-Pacific where the majority of the world’s food is produced and consumed.

With food security at stake, what will it take to move from isolated pilots to true systemic transformation?

Pathogens that Follow Us

As human life constantly evolves, the organisms that instigate the ebb and flow of infectious diseases follow in tandem, reflecting how societies inhabit, adapt to the environment and coexist.

What does research on the circular relationship between humans and pathogens reveal about what’s at stake if preventions and treatments don’t scale and become equitably accessible, and if diverse perspectives and ways of thinking are not embedded in the innovations?

Growth Map Rewritten

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Global foreign direct investment rebounded by 14% to $1.6 trillion in 2025, yet the gains remained heavily concentrated in advanced economies, widening the gap with the emerging markets expected to drive the majority of growth in the coming decades. Young populations, rapid digital adoption and expanding consumer bases give emerging economies significant structural advantages, but capital, technology and industrial capacity continue to flow elsewhere.

As competitiveness gaps widen, what is separating the front-runners from the laggards, and where will the next engines of growth emerge?
