New UK PM faces opposition
Liz Truss has been taking questions from MPs in the House of Commons for the first time
We follow the first full day in office of new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss. Taking questions from MPs today, she ruled out a windfall tax on energy producers whose profits are soaring with the price of wholesale gas. We hear some reaction to what she said today and explain who is in her new cabinet.
We spend time talking to our outgoing Afghanistan and Pakistan correspondent, Secunder Kermani, reflecting on the stories he鈥檚 covered in more than five years in the job.
We explain the story of the abduction and murder of teacher Eliza Fletcher in Memphis, Tennessee, who was attacked during a night-time run. We hear from some of the many people asserting the right of women to be able to run safely at whatever time of day they choose.
And we hear from Chelsea fans who are reacting to news that the Premier League club has sacked Thomas Tuchel as manager.
