BBC World Service - BBC OS, Next UK PM warns of economic challenges

Rishi Sunak is expected to take office on Tuesday

Rishi Sunak has won the contest to be leader of Britain's governing Conservative Party and the next prime minister. He'll be the first British Asian to hold the post. 

We’ll be live in Westminster to take you through the developments, gathering reaction and analysis from our political correspondents, foreign journalists, and people around the country. We'll reach out to South Asian communities in Britain and India to find out about the conversations they are having about Rishi Sunak.

We'll speak to young Conservatives about their expectations from the next prime minister. 

Ukrainian military intelligence is warning of an influx of Russian forces into the occupied southern city of Kherson. Our correspondent explains.
