Haiti prime minister resigns as transitional council assumes power

BBC World Service - Newsday, Haiti prime minister resigns as transitional council assumes power

The council is tasked with organising elections and restoring order to Haiti

Prime minister Ariel Henry resigned on Thursday and a transitional council has begun running the country.

Haiti has a new transitional council to lead the country with nine members now sworn in, seven will have voting powers. We go to Port-au-Prince to look at what this will mean and whether it will succeed in putting an end to the violence.

College protests over Gaza sweep across America. Hundreds are arrested. We hear from a student at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Also in the programme, we take you to the “Land of the Thunder Dragon” otherwise  known as Bhutan -where officials are celebrating vaccinating almost every child in the kingdom.

And, in a world first – scientists in the US say they have successfully communicated with a humpback whale in Alaska – called Twain.
