MAY UNDER PRESSURE AS ANOTHER CABINET MINISTER QUITS

UK Prime Minister Theresa May's trying to head off claims her government is close to collapse, as she carries out her second cabinet reshuffle in a week.

International Development Secretary Priti Patel has been forced to resign over unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials.

It came a week after Mrs May's Defence Secretary stepped down over claims about his behaviour.

Her government is fragile because of divisions over Brexit, and because it's propped up at Westminster only by a deal with the DUP of Northern Ireland.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says these are challenging times for Mrs May.
