NEW UK CABINET MEETS AMID BREXIT DIVISIONS

Theresa May's re-shuffled cabinet is meeting (Tuesday) as she tries to stabilise Britain's government amid a crisis over Brexit.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Brexit Secretary David Davis both resigned in under 24 hours over concerns about her Brexit strategy.

They've been replaced by Jeremy Hunt and Dominic Raab respectively.

Mrs May will now hope to head off a potential leadership challenge so she can continue negotiations on the terms of Britain's exit from the EU.

And she'll hope to do that on the basis of a Brexit plan agreed by the cabinet at her country residence of Chequers last week.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says her now cabinet appointments could be crucial.
