May leads Conservatives as pound sinks in early leadership vote
Theresa May wins a strong first round showing in the Conservative leadership race amid market turmoil after Britain votes to leave the EU. She secured about half the MPs’ support, with 165 backing, while rivals Andrea Leadsom Michael Gove and Stephen Crabb trail. The pound slid to its lowest in 30 years and the Bank of England relaxed bank capital rules to ease lending as the party paves a path to replace David Cameron and navigate Brexit.

Israel authorizes hundreds of new West Bank settlement homes
