After less than two months in office the British prime minister Liz Truss has resigned.

She said she couldn't deliver the mandate on which she'd been elected and there would be another vote in the Conservative Party to choose her successor. Our Political Correspondent is outside the House of Parliament in Westminster explaining the developments and gathering reaction. We'll also hear what people across the world think about what's going on in the UK, and we ask young Conservative members what they are making of it all.
