let's rejoin chris in downing street. can i start straightaway with possibly the most controversial appointment, that is suella braverman. you said it was eye—catching. some labour people would have stronger words than that. i'm wondering where you think that appointment lies within the context of this cabinet? i appointment lies within the context of this cabinet?— of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint _ of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint really _ of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint really that - of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint really that this | first flashpoint really that this new government will encounter, i think we can expect labour to pick it up as a point of contention to argue over in the coming days. why? simply because firstly the astonishing nature of the revolving door at the home office, that this time last week suella braverman was the home secretary, right now she is the home secretary, right now she is the home secretary but between t

britain's new prime minister, rishi sunak, has moved into number 10 downing street and spent most of his first day in office appointing senior members of his government. on arriving in downing street, he said the uk was facing a profound economic crisis and he made a point of saying that he needed to repair the damage caused by some of the policies of his predecessor, liz truss. here's our political editor, chris mason. 11:50, this morning, downing street's security gates had swung open, the motorcade swept in, heralding another new arrival here. here he comes, rishi sunak, walking up downing street alone to the podium, to address the country for the first time as prime minister. i have just been to buckingham palace and accepted his majesty the king's invitation to form a government in his name. it is only right to explain why i'm standing here as your new prime minister. right now, our country is facing a profound economic crisis. a businesslike, sober tone, a blunt, direct assessment of the country's predicament and future. i want to pay tribute to my predecessor, liz truss. she w

people called in to downing street to be offered talk jobs. it is very likely, in fact, is certain that he will try to assemble a broad church effectively, that he'll want to unite the party. he said, the cat, the conservative party as to whether you nights or die. those were his words when he outlined his position up to the 1922 back benches. how meeting he will without doubt, i want to have people who are going to support him, but people who are going to have their own minds. a collection of experts is $17.00 ology for it. he wants to get straight to the economy as, as the main issue. but he also wants to try to revive some of the popularity, at least some of it that the conservative party used to enjoy. and remember it's color, it's got a good majority or more than 80 m p 's. yet it's at its lowest level for several decades in terms of popularity. and so he will be looking for experience. he'll be looking for loyalty and he will be want him to explain to the british people that he has a balance government that represents all factions of the

yesterday, on the steps of downing street he admitted what the whole country knows. the tories have crashed the economy and now somebody has to pay for their mess. i say it shouldn't be working people who have been hammered time and again, but those with broader shoulders must step up. those he agree? >> the honorable gentlemen talked about party first and country second. perhaps he can explain why it was a few years ago, he was supporting them over from arlington north.

britain's new prime minister, rishi sunak, has moved into number 10 downing street, and spent most of his first day in office appointing senior members of his government. on arriving in downing street he said the uk was facing a �*profound economic crisis�*, and he made a point of saying that he needed to repair the damage caused by some of the policies of his predecessor liz truss. here's our political editor chris mason. 11:50, this morning, downing street's security gates had swung open, the motorcade swept in, heralding another new arrival here. here he comes, rishi sunak, walking up downing street alone to the podium to address the country for the first time as prime minister. i have just been to buckingham palace and accepted his majesty the king's invitation to form a government in his name. it is only right to explain why i'm standing here as your new prime minister. right now, our country is facing a profound economic crisis. a businesslike, sober tone, a blunt, direct assessment of the country's predicament and future. i want to pay tribute to my predecessor, liz truss.

good night from us here in downing street. hello there. there's some unsettled weather on the way for the rest of this week. spells of wet and windy weather will be interspersed with some brighter, sunnier moments. but with our air source continuing to come in from the south or south—west, it's going to turn even milder. wednesday onwards, temperatures across southern and eastern areas will be a good five or six degrees above where they should be at this time in late october. first spell of wet and windy weather will be pushing up from the south through the overnight period, and that'll be dragging in this very mild air from the subtropics. wet, windy weather. some of this rain could be quite heavy across northern and western areas as it continues to trundle northwards. winds will be picking up to reach gale force around irish sea coasts, particularly around western scotland. but look at these values — no lower than around ii —14 celsius. so a very mild start to wednesday, a blustery day to come. heavy rain clears away from northern

it's a rather nice afternoon here in downing street. this morning, there was a partial solar eclipse. let's get a weather forecast with more on that. good afternoon. as you heard then say, there was a partial solar eclipse across the uk this morning, and the weather has been kind for that. there were clear spells with hazy sunshine at times. this is where we have seen some of the best weather watcher photos of this eclipse. a number of them behind me, this one taken in staffordshire. the clouds were used as the filter. a great one in monmouthshire, with an aeroplanejust flying at great one in monmouthshire, with an aeroplane just flying at the right time of capture. and this moody one, obviously using a filter, shows the clips in inverness in the highlands. for the rest of this week, it stays mild. we will have bouts of wet and windy weather interspersed with days like today, with quite a bit of sunshine around. it will feel mild by day and by night. mild they are comes up from the azores, particularly from tonight on wood. temperatures

her meeting with king charles ii i t this is a live shot outside 10 downing street arabile gumede is joining us now on the scene in london arabile, what can you tell us about the change of power? >> reporter: out goes 56 and in comes 57 that is happening today. the day's real sense of what we will be looking toward of course, a little earlier on, the prime minister liz truss was holding her last cabinet meeting with the members of parliament a host of them coming into 10 downing street we saw a number of them as well leave. now the elelecturn has been put and she is about to deliver her final address after that, she will officially resign her post with a meeting with the king. after that, rishi sunak will then have an audience with the king to formally seek that appointment as the new prime minister and then be asked to set up a government in order to be able to become prime minister of the united kingdom. following that, one of the big question marks will be around what it is that follows on from liz truss departure. whether rishi sunak will take on any of the measures she had put f

tim willcox is in downing street for us this evening. what is the greatest challenge facing the new prime minister? tim: there are herculean challenges ahead. it is interesting that rishi sunak in the last couple of hours when he made that very short speech to his supporters at tory central office a few hundred yards from where i am now, his message was very much unite or die. that is from the tory party which has been through so much turmoil over the last couple of months. only a couple of months ago, liz truss was speaking to the late queen when she took over from boris johnson. now just within two months, rishi sunak will be addressing the country again from the same lectern she used just a few days ago, trying to outline his vision which will be one of stability. if early indications are correct, it seems the markets are looking at rishi sunak as a man who can stabilize things in terms of economic policy. as i say, those challenges are huge. if you look at the polls for example, when you look at the people in those seats that boris j

and for more d w. bergen mass joins me from 10 downing street in london, bergen. now the boss johnson is out of the running. is this a 2 person race? it is or to was res. however, the race could actually soon be over. so it could be that penny more than the former defense secretary actually doesn't get the necessary backing from mpm in order to make it to the pol within the conservative party membership. in that case, richie sooner would soon move here into downing street number 10, the former chancellor. he says that would bring stability. he says that he can unite the country and the party, the conservative party. and i think it's what the financial markets are also will be hoping for, because the country has really been in the recent months, an extraordinary thomas by the conservative party having been deeply divided. and by a really huge economic troubles, high inflation, high energy prices, cost of living under the country and the financial markets, i think really would like to have a period of stability question is, will the next prime minister be able to de
