Tunisia’s new prime minister Youssef Chahed and members of his cabinet have been sworn in after approval from parliament. The 40-year-old prime minister is the youngest to take office since Tunisia's independence from France in 1956. He started his term with great ambitions that the country's six previous premiers could not meet in the period following the 2011 uprising.
