UK prime minister Truss says she will remain in post mid political and economic turmoil

At a press conference amid political and economic turmoil, Liz Truss has announced changes to her fiscal policy.

Amid political and economic turmoil, the UK's prime minister Liz Truss has insisted she will stay as the head of the government.

Earlier in the day, she dismissed her finance minister, Kwasi Kwarteng, and appointed a former foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, to lead the ministry. We'll consider the political and economic implications of this unfolding story.

Also in the programme: the United Nations warns of a severe food crisis in Haiti; and today marks a month since street protests in Iran began with the death, in police custody, of a 22-year-old woman.
