Tunisian PM Habib Essid loses confidence vote


Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid has lost a confidence vote in parliament, after just a year and a half in office.  A total of 118 MPs yesterday voted to unseat the Tunisian PM, three voted for him to stay at the helm and 27 abstained. Essid's government has been widely criticised for failing to tackle the country's
economic crisis, high unemployment and a series of jihadist attacks.
