The man in charge of delivering Britain's withdrawal from the European Union has resigned. We get reaction from the BBC's Vicki Young, and John Longworth, co-chairman of Leave Means Leave. As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan prepares to be sworn in for a second term, thousands of public sector workers have been fired from their jobs. Abdullah Bozkurt is a former bureau chief for Today's Zaman, once Turkey's most-read newspaper. The leaders of Eritrea and Ethiopia, have announced practical steps to open up trade links and cement business ties. We ask the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza what's next. We also explore the link between sporting success and economic growth, and our regular commentator Michael Hughes takes a look at why prices are rising in India.
