UK correspondent Matt Dathan joins Kathryn to talk about Liz Truss's promise to get the country through "stormy days", while admitting her policies would cause "disruption".

It came after a very rocky and divisive four days at the Conservative Party's conference. Immigration is another topic that's dividing the party, with the home secretary expressing "concerns" an imminent trade deal with India will bring more people to the UK.

And the Royal Family has got back to work following the official mourning period for the Queen.
