BBC World Service - BBC OS, New leadership race in the UK

After less than two months in office the British prime minister Liz Truss has resigned

After less than two months in office the British prime minister Liz Truss has resigned.

The British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, has announced her resignation after days of chaos in her government. She said she couldn't deliver the mandate on which she'd been elected and there would be another vote in the Conservative Party to choose her successor. Our Political Correspondent is outside the House of Parliament in Westminster explaining the developments and gathering reaction. We'll also hear what people across the world think about what's going on in the UK, and we ask young Conservative members what they are making of it all.

We'll also hear from Ukrainians who are without power and water after Russians strikes across the country and get an update from our reporter in the capital Kyiv.

The military-led government in Chad says 50 people have been killed and more than three hundred others wounded in a day of protest demanding a transition to democracy. Our correspondent explains.
