BBC World Service - BBC OS, UK PM Rishi Sunak appoints his new cabinet

We hear who gets the top jobs in the cabinet reshuffle and who gets sacked

Rishi Sunak has taken office as Britain's new prime minister, warning that the country faces a profound economic crisis. We hear which ministers get the top jobs and who gets sacked in the reshuffle.  We speak to people in the UK who are struggling with the cost of living crisis. We also hear reaction from India on what they hope the UK's first British Asian prime minister will achieve for trade relations and strengthening ties. 

Also on the programme, we get the latest with our correspondent on the anti-government protests in Iran. Demonstrations have erupted since the death in custody six weeks ago of Mahsa Amini, detained for allegedly wearing her hijab incorrectly.

We get an update on the Ebola outbreak in Uganda, more cases have been reported in the capital Kampala.
