Australia Has A New Prime Minister

Scott Morrison becomes prime minister after Malcolm Turnbull is ousted by his party.

Scott Morrison is sworn in hours after his predecessor, Malcolm Turnbull, was forced out of office by party rivals in a bruising leadership contest. He's the country's sixth prime minister in less than ten years.

Also in the programme: Spain's cabinet authorises the removal of the remains of the fascist dictator, General Francisco Franco, from a monument to those who died in the country's civil war.
