Summary
In his first day as prime minister, Burnham promised to lead a "cost of living government”, but one of his early efforts to deal with the cost of living crisis has already come under scrutiny. Also today, President Zelenskyy sacks his armed forces chief days after his defence minister is dismissed, and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has asked for more money from Congress for the Iran war, admitting that it’s cost more than previous estimates. And finally, are shorts ever acceptable in the office? The debate has intensified in Japan as politicians in Tokyo encourage men to dress more casually at work. Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
