Turkish Lira Plunges to Record Low

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Turkish Lira Plunges to Record Low

Turkey says it will calm markets after the lira plunged to a new record low.

Turkey's president says the US is seeking to "stab it in the back" after sanctions caused market turmoil. Also, we hear about the "unprecedented" floods that have killed dozens in southern India. And Tunisia's leader has proposed a bill for equal inheritance between men and women, prompting a debate about modernising Islam.
