Today on The Current:

The Canadian military must accept outside help to solve systemic issues around sexual misconduct, says former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour. She talks to Matt Galloway about her investigation into what's needed to change that culture.

Then, Canada's men's soccer team is embroiled in controversy. They were forced to cancel a game with Iran after protests; and the players refused to play against Panama on Sunday due to a dispute over pay and benefits. We talk to soccer reporter John Molinaro, and former Canadian players Craig Forrest and Amy Walsh.

Plus, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived a confidence vote on Monday, but how secure is his political future? We ask Alan Rusbridger, former editor of the Guardian and current editor of Prospect Magazine. 

And Turkey is objecting to Sweden and Finland's bid to join NATO. We talk to Steven Erlanger, the chief diplomatic correspondent in Europe for the New York Times; and Aslı Aydıntaşbaş, a senior fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
