After clinging on for days, the UK's Prime Minister has called it quits. Liz Truss is the shortest standing Prime Minister in UK history, serving for 45 days.
On Monday new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt reversed almost all of the tax cutting proposals laid out by Ms Truss last month.

She broke the news of her resignation in a brief speech outside Downing Street.
Correspondent Vincent McAviney spoke to Guyon Espiner from London.
