BBC World Service - Newshour, New finance minister and more U-turns in UK political crisis

Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced a second major economic U-turn

Prime Minister Liz Truss  - just 39 days into the job - has replaced her chief finance minister (Chancellor of the Exchequer) and announced a second major U-turn in her economic policy. But will this be enough to calm the political and economic storms caused by her actions so far? 

Also in the programme:  a member of the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack tells us about the Committee's decision to subpoena President Trump; and as the Chinese Communist Party Congress prepares to make President Xi Jinping ever more powerful, we have a profile of the man and his geopolitical positioning of China today.
