BBC World Service - Newsday, UK prime minister Liz Truss resigns

There will now be another leadership election to decide who shall take her place

There will now be another leadership election to decide who becomes the next Conservative leader and prime minister.

Liz Truss has resigned, barely six weeks after becoming the UK's Prime Minister, and the race is open for her replacement. We reflect on an astonishing 24 hours in British political life, and assess its impact on the UK's economy and global standing.

Also, a group of women are suing Qatar after they were subjected to an invasive medical examination on the tarmac of Doha airport. 

And we'll hear about the former US military officials now in the pay of foreign countries.
