6:02 am
harry farley has the latest. sir keir starmer triumphant as he arrived at his new address with his wife victoria. 27 years after labour last won from opposition. the smiles and cheers for the whopping majority the party now has. whether you voted labour or not, in fact especially if you did not, i say to you directly, my government will serve you. changing a country is not like flicking a switch, the world is now a more volatile place. this will take a while. but have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately. have no doubt that we will rebuild britain. with wealth created
6:03 am
in every community. earlier there was a meeting with the king. and later calls with world leaders including the us president joe biden, ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky at the president of the european commission. ursula von der leyen. immediately we saw the new faces that will run the country. the deputy prime minister will also oversee housing and local government. rachel reeves, the first woman to be chancellor. yvette cooper will be home secretary in charge of immigration and policing. shabana mahmood responsible for prison and the justice system and several others. iam i am absolutely only mental been appointed as a state for health and social care trusts of the nhs is going through what is objectively the worst crisis in its history. this is the national health service that saved my life and i am that it to spend my life saving the national health service. today that new cabinet will meet here for the first time.
6:04 am
they are facing significant challenges with overcrowded prisons, thousands crossing the channel in small boats, presses to increase public sector pay and crises in both housing and local government funding. it was all smiles yesterday but any honeymoon will be short lived. for the conservatives was a disaster, the debate over their future and who reads it has already begun. # sweet caroline... it was the opposite story for the liberal democrats. their share of the vote has barely changed. bucsa ed davey led his party to a record 71 seats. —— but sir ed. i want to thank people for trusting us again. we will not you down. we will honour your trust. nigel farage promised to be a disruptor in westminster. although it was his event yesterday that was disrupted by protesters. reform uk won more votes than the liberal democrats but spread more thinly around the country.
6:05 am
so they ended up with five seats. and the green party won their best ever results with four mps. we are expecting keir starmer to announce more ministerial appointments today as labour and server first full day in government in 14 years. harry farley, bbc news, and westminster. with that first cabinet meeting looming later today, let's remind ourselves of some of the key facts from election night. there's still one seat left to declare in scotland, but we do have the rest of the results. let's look at them now. labour now has 412 seats compared to the conservatives�* 121, making it the worst conservative result in history in terms of seats. the liberal democrats made significant gains, securing 71 seats. its biggest tally since 1923. reform uk have five and the green party have four. it's not been good news for the snp, which saw a large drop to just nine seats in westminster.
6:06 am
let's take a closer look at the picture across the nations. as you've just heard, in scotland, the snp lost 38 seats. of those 38, all but two were taken by labour, with scotland being the only part of the uk where the labour vote share rose sharply. meanwhile, the scottish conservatives won five seats. the conservatives lost 12 seats in wales, meaning the party has no mps there. labour gained nine seats, taking the party's total to 27. plaid cymru now has four and the liberal democrats took one. and in northern ireland, sinn fein has become the largest westminster party, keeping all seven seats it won in 2019, while the dup lost three of the eight held at the last general election, leaving it with five. so the new prime minister, sir keir starmer, is preparing for the first meeting of his cabinet. it features a record 11 women,
6:07 am
including deputy prime minister angela rayner who is the new levelling up, housing and communities secretary, and rachel reeves, who becomes the uk's first female chancellor. meanwhile, david lammy is foreign secretary and ed miliband becomes energy secretary — a similar role to the one he held at the end of the last labour government in 2010. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street and joins us now. good morning to you, nick. injust a few hours�* time that group, the cabinet, will be brought together for the first time. the? cabinet, will be brought together for the first time.— for the first time. they will indeed, charlie. _ for the first time. they will indeed, charlie. later - for the first time. they will indeed, charlie. later this| for the first time. they will - indeed, charlie. later this morning. indeed, charlie. laterthis morning. it's indeed, charlie. laterthis morning. it�*s pretty remarkable how quickly things change in british politics, isn�*t it? things change in british politics, isn't it? it things change in british politics, isn�*t it? it was just yesterday rishi sunak was coming back you design off for the last time and already as dumb as you get to work
6:08 am
hitting the phones to those international leaders, drawing up the letters of last resort, the things he has to do if there is a nuclear attack, getting the briefings on some of the big challenges the country is facing. we really do have to hit the ground running in thisjob. but i think is also worth remembering that despite all the cheers yesterday, despite all the cheers yesterday, despite all the cheers yesterday, despite all the flag—waving, despite all the smiles, is a pretty challenging time to be taking over as prime minister and when the new cabinet to do media later this morning they have got some pretty big challenges to face up some pretty big challenges to face up to as well stop let me talk you through a few of them. we had wes streeting, the new lsac reappear in his new department last night, give a brief speech to staff, and he talked about the new policy of this new government being that the nhs is broken. that�*s quite a statement to make coming into government, saying the service that i�*m taking over the running of is completely broken and
6:09 am
myjob is to fix it. one of the things he will have to do pretty early on as meet with the bma, the british medical association, and try to end thosejunior british medical association, and try to end those junior doctors strikes. there are talks planned for next week. the other person who has a really daunting entry is the new chancellor, the first ever female chancellor, the first ever female chancellor, rachel reeves, keys manley last few weeks on breakfast and other places talking about economic growth to try to get a bit more cash in the government�*s kitty to spend over the next three years. well, that�*s often easier said than done, growth doesn�*t come like that, you have to work pretty hard to achieve it. so she has a loss of work to do on that front and some pretty big challenges to face in the meantime. and just one final one, david lammy, the new foreign secretary, a man we will get used to seeing on the international stage over the next few years, think how big his entry is with the war in ukraine, with the conflict in gaza, with some of the other potential
6:10 am
ramifications of big electoral changes in france, in the united states, so why have been speaking to new cabinet ministers over the past 44 hours, charlie, they are absolutely delighted with labour�*s thumping victory, there is no doubt it is a huge victory in british political history but when they turn up political history but when they turn up at the cabinet meetings this morning big entries to look after. nick, thank you very much. labour�*s landslide victory has seen traditionally true blue seats turn red for the first time — including some of the country�*s leafiest suburbs. among them is altrincham in greater manchester, which had been conservative for more than a century. but now, labour has taken the seat and our reporter nick garnett has spent the day there. cheers! we are champagne socialists! the reall cheers! we are champagne socialists! they really do — cheers! we are champagne socialists! they really do exist. _ cheers! we are champagne socialists! they really do exist. and _ they really do exist. and celebrating _ they really do exist. and celebrating the - they really do exist. and celebrating the most - they really do exist. fific celebrating the most incredible labour landslide that i have ever seen. i definitely remember 1997 and

6:13 am
conservative rule here coming to an end for now. and for those who didn�*t fancy talking politics today, well, at least the sun is shining in the beer garden. nick garnett, bbc news, altrincham. let�*s take a look at some of the front pages this morning. "now we begin" is the daily mirror�*s headline. the paper, which supported labour�*s campaign, features an image of the prime minister sir keir starmer alongside his wife victoria, on the steps of downing street following his victory speech. the daily express, which backed the conservatives, urges its readers to "be gracious in defeat." as well as a picture of the new prime minister, it also features an image of rishi sunak, who it says showed "generosity of spirit and true graciousness" in his final speech as leader. the guardian features a from sir keir starmer�*s address to the nation on its front page, "we will fight every day until you believe again." it calls the result an historic
6:14 am
victory for the labour party. the daily telegraph leads on comments from the new health secretary wes streeting on the state of the health service his government has inherited. "the nhs is broken," it quotes him as saying in what has been described as his departments new official policy. despite huge gains, labour did lose a handful of seats to independent candidates who made the israel—gaza conflict central to their campaigns. in yorkshire�*s dewsbury and batley, the newly—elected mp said his victory was down to the conflict, but also several other key issues. 0ur reporter spencer stokes has more. an expression of astonishment. parliamentary victories for independent candidates are historically few and far between. in the new dewsbury and batley has elected an mp with no party allegiance. the warring gaza are seemingly reducing labour support in

6:18 am
little sleep, he had been up all night, and then did a victory valley in central london —— victory rally and then came to downing street and got straight down to work and i bet many cabinet ministers will be grateful for the chance to get a few hours kip but they will be here after ten o�*clock. that first meeting around the cabinet table i suspect we will hear something from keir starmer, addressing them and telling them what his prime minister priorities will be. as well as the cabinet, there are dozens ofjunior jobs in the ministry to fill as well, they are the people who support cabinet ministers in their job and take on a particular portfolio within a department, for example if you are in the department for culture and sport, you may be the person liaising with this book community. so there will be a lot more appointments later today and
6:19 am
then the work begins for keir starmer immediately because there are two things he has to do, set out what his immediate priorities. it is interesting when he spoke yesterday one of the things i really noticed, even though he said yes, is a bright new chapter, he was also saying don�*t expect this to happen overnight, this will take time. people will want to know what he�*s going to do immediately. the second thing for keir starmer is to get all of the cabinet ministers out doing theirjobs immediately, trying to solve some of the big challenges they all have in their portfolios. it is a pretty daunting task. i�*m always struck when these handovers of power happen, how quickly it happens and how quickly you have to just fit into the role and hit the ground running but that is the position the labour party are now in after the thumping victory. is
6:20 am
after the thumping victory. is probably worth reflecting on the conservative party because this is a depleted party, one that is going to be very inward looking now. and reassessing where it goes next? it really is. we have got used to standing in downing street talking about the tories for the past 15 years. that will not be the case anymore. given we normally have 120 mps also, they won�*t matter as much to the broad political picture. the leadership election we will see at some point is not going to be as consequential for our lives as the last few have been. there is a battle. be under no illusion there is a battle going on right now for the heart and soul of the conservative party. i actually think it has been a battle playing out since brexit but it will definitely happen now which is due the party tried to attack back to the centre and win votes back from labour and
6:21 am
disaffected tories that may have moved to labour or the liberal democrats, or do they tack to the right and look to the votes that went to the reform uk party and niger are farage —— nigel farage and his supporters. that is the debate playing right now and i�*m pretty certain it will win the election when it comes. what i don�*t know is when it comes. what i don�*t know is when the leadership election will be. rishi sunak is not said exactly when he will stand down and it�*s possible he may stay there for a while to ensure there is proper time for that debate to play out in his party. for that debate to play out in his .a . ., ~' for that debate to play out in his la . ., " for that debate to play out in his as simon is with us now for over four look at the weather and how is it looking? four look at the weather and how is it lookin: ? ~ ., ., ~' four look at the weather and how is it lookin: ? ~ ., ., ~ ., , it looking? mixed. look at this in northumberland. _ it looking? mixed. look at this in

6:23 am
will continue with a few showers, particularly around parts of northern ireland, wales, southwest of england and some of those again can be on the heavyside into sunday morning. 0vernight, temperatures down to about 10 celsius but sunday should be drier than today. yes, still some showers around but they may emerge across northern parts of wales and scattered elsewhere across england and wales and chance of one or two showers, perhaps thundery, drier across scotland. temperatures below average, 15— 18 celsius. higher across the northeast of scotland compared to today. into next week, it will stay fairly changeable. monday, clad increasing in the southwest. some outbreaks of rain —— cloud increasing. for many, it should be drier and sunny spells
6:24 am
towards central and eastern areas. temperatures may creep up a little bit and we may notice that through the weekend temperatures may creep up the weekend temperatures may creep up closer to average but unsettled. low pressure moving in into tuesday and wednesday, rain at times, moving its way north and eastward, high pressure staying out of the west and we want to see that for drier, settle conditions with temperatures rising but for the time being, those temperatures are about 17—20, 20 one degree out orjust below average, filling cool this time of year staying unsettled as well. let�*s bring you up to date with some non—uk election news. us presidentjoe biden says only lord almighty could convince him to end his bid for re—election, despite growing calls to step aside. during a debate with donald trump last week, mr biden was seen to lose his train of thought — something he has repeatedly blamed on illness. he has spoken to abc news
6:25 am
in his first major television interview since the debate, as our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. do you want to talk about your message in wisconsin? can you still beat trump? yes, replied the president, as he boarded air force one to run the democratic voters in the state of wisconsin. haunted by his disastrous debate performance against donald trump, joe biden still has to convince many of his supporters that he is fit enough to serve a second term. the crowd at this campaign rally was enthusiastic enough but the president felt he had to say it again. what isjoe going to do? is he going to stay in the race? is he going to drop out, what is going to do? here is my answer, i am running and i am going to win again! a rousing reception here, but what about the rest of the country? several members of congress, including one democratic senator, have called for the president to pull out of the race.
6:26 am
shortly after the rally he sat down for an interview with abc news, who pressed the president on what had gone wrong during the debate and why he had been so exhausted. because i was sick, i was feeling terrible. the doctors with me, i asked that they did a covid test to figure out what was wrong, he tested to see whether or not i had some infection or a virus, i didn�*t, ijust had a really bad cold. did you ever watch the debate afterwards? i don�*t think i did, no. the president was asked whether he had taken cognitive tests and released the results to the people. he said it wasn�*t necessary. i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have that test, everything i do. not only am i campaigning but i�*m running the world. that sounds like hyperbole but we are the central nation in the world. every single day, today before i came out here i�*m
6:27 am
on the phone with the prime minister of... i shouldn�*t have given the detail but with benjamin netanyahu, i�*m on the phone with the new prime minster of england. he cast doubt on opinion polls that said he is trailing behind donald trump. he didn�*t think anyone was more qualified or better than him to win the race. the interview is unlikely to silence the democratic critics who want him to call it a day. peter bowes, bbc news. the head of israel�*s spy agency, mossad, has returned home for consultations after meeting mediators in qatar for ceasefire talks on gaza. the discussions also covered the possible release of israelis held hostage and of palestinian prisoners. hopes for a deal have been raised after a revised proposalfrom hamas. iran�*s presidential election has been won by reformist

an interesting buildup to euro 2024 because gareth southgate, usually calm and pleasant with the media, one of his great strength, is placid but there is been a sense in the last few days he's getting a bit frustrated with that thing swirling around england in this tournament so far. the difficulty and criticisms he has faced because of performances and yet there a sense he has called and yet there a sense he has called a bit of entitlement, that england will win against switzerland because england are england and switzerland are "just switzerland". he has been sending a message out to everybody that there are no guarantees, certainly not for england, given everything that has happened so far, only he wants to that. quite

interesting to hear that in the media. i interesting to hear that in the media. .. at 5pm england fans will be settling down to wonder what they might see but despite the underwhelming tournament so far there are a good many who remain confident ahead of the quarterfinal against switzerland. it's in dusseldorf and so isjohn watson. there is that residual conflict, isn't there? some think it will be easy because england should win, but something because they have watched england so far, it may not be? yes. england so far, it may not be? yes, we will be — england so far, it may not be? yes, we will be hearing _ england so far, it may not be? yes, we will be hearing from a _ england so far, it may not be? use: we will be hearing from a rather prickly gareth southgate ahead of the huge game today with england in the huge game today with england in the quarter—finals of the euros against switzerland. we are in a market in central dusseldorf, where some english fans will be gathering this morning, may some breakfast or lunch as they prepare themselves for the game, as are the locals in germany. although i am not sure they
6:51 am
can stomach breakfast because they are out! a real shock, losing to spain, the hosts going out. having a look how they did it. germany, having trailed against spain in the match last night, scored late to force the game into extra time. as the game went to extra time, it was spain who grabbed a late, late winner themselves, spain who grabbed a late, late winnerthemselves, in spain who grabbed a late, late winner themselves, in the 119th minute, meaning spain progressed through to the semifinals. germany, the hosts, bitterly disappointed, seen as one of the favourites. they will go on and face france because they got through their match against portugal as well. this one also went to extra time but it needed penalties to settle it. cristiano ronaldo against kylian mbappe and killian heading home, and this one settled 5—3, and kylian mbappe was
6:52 am
off before i got the chance to take the penalty and france still yet to score from open play at the tournament. the hunt's france are yet to hit their heights — — perhaps france. a lot of criticism notjust about their performances, butjust why they have not been able to produce the very best so far, and as we were saying, the sense of entitlement, england should win and are expected to win but despite the fact they have an easier start of the draw, they play switzerland, where others play tougher sides, he says it will not underestimate their opponents and let's not forget england have never one a major tournament outside of england — — won, it is hard, gareth southgate says, to win from home. thea;r won, it is hard, gareth southgate says, to win from home. they have a clear way of — says, to win from home. they have a clear way of playing _ says, to win from home. they have a clear way of playing that _ says, to win from home. they have a clear way of playing that has - says, to win from home. they have a clear way of playing that has caused l clear way of playing that has caused a lot of— clear way of playing that has caused a lot of problems for other teams.

what he calls the "work of change". changing a country's not like flicking a switch. the world is now a more volatile place. this will take a while. but have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately. among those at the top table will be rachel reeves, the uk's first ever female chancellor, and health secretary wes streeting, who has described the nhs as "broken". good morning from downing street. lots of new faces to get used to in british politics. we will talk you who they are and the challenges they will face. in the united states, joe biden insists he is the right candidate to beat donald trump in the presidential election, despite his poor performance in last week's tv debate. there's been a huge rise in the number of people seeking help after their energy suppliers passed their bills onto debt collection agencies.
7:01 am
and good morning. this weekend is looking quite changeable. there'll be a mixture of sunny spells and showers, some of those could be quite heavy, and again it will feel quite cool. is there any sign of warmer weather? well, join me throughout the programme. good morning. it's saturday, 6july. sir keir starmer is beginning his first full day as prime minister, following labour's landslide election victory. later this morning, he will hold a meeting of his newly appointed cabinet, after vowing to start work immediately. our political correspondent harry farley has the latest. cheering sir keir starmer triumphant as he arrived at his new address with his wife victoria. 27 years after labour last won from opposition. the smiles and cheers for the whopping majority the party now has. whether you voted labour or not, in fact, especially if you did not,
7:02 am
i say to you directly, my government will serve you. changing a country's not like flicking a switch. the world is now a more volatile place. this will take a while. but have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately. have no doubt that we will rebuild britain, with wealth created in every community. sir keirstarmer. earlier there was a meeting with the king. you must be absolutely exhausted. and later calls with world leaders including the us president joe biden, ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, and the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen. immediately we saw the new faces that will run the country. the deputy prime minister, angela rayner, will also oversee housing and local government. rachel reeves, the first woman to be chancellor. yvette cooper will be home secretary in charge of immigration and policing.
7:03 am
shabana mahmood responsible for prisons and the justice system and several others. i am absolutely over the moon to have been appointed as secretary of state for health and social care. the nhs is going through what is objectively the worst crisis in its history. this is the national health service that saved my life and i am now determined to spend my life saving the national health service. today that new cabinet will meet here for the first time. they're facing significant challenges with overcrowded prisons, thousands crossing the channel in small boats, pressures to increase public sector pay, and crises in both housing and local and local government funding. it was all smiles yesterday but any honeymoon will be short—lived. for the conservatives was a disaster, the debate over their future and who leads it has already begun. # sweet caroline... it was the opposite story for the liberal democrats. their share of the vote has barely changed. but sir ed davey led his party to a record 71 seats.
7:04 am
i want to thank people for trusting us again. we will not let you down. we will honour your trust. nigel farage promised to be a disruptor in westminster. although it was his event yesterday that was disrupted by protesters. reform uk won more votes than the liberal democrats, but spread more thinly around the country. so they ended up with five seats. well, this is good preparation for the house of commons, i suppose! and the green party won their best ever results with four mps. we are expecting keir starmer to announce more ministerial appointments today as labour enter their first full day in government in 14 years. harry farley, bbc news, and westminster. with that first cabinet meeting looming later today, let's remind ourselves of some of the key facts from election night. there's still one seat left to declare in scotland,
7:05 am
but we do have the rest of the results. labour now has 412 seats compared to the conservatives 121 — making it the worst conservative result in history, in terms of seats. the liberal democrats made significant gains, securing 71 seats. its biggest tally since 1923. reform uk have five and the green party have four. it's not been good news for the snp which saw a large drop to just nine seats in westminster. let's take a closer look at the picture across the nations. as you've just heard, in scotland, the snp lost 38 seats. of those 38, all but two were taken by labour — with scotland being the only part of the uk where the labour vote share rose sharply. meanwhile, the scottish conservatives won five seats. the conservatives lost 12 seats in wales, meaning the party has no mps there. labour gained nine seats,
7:06 am
taking the party's total to 27. plaid cymru now has four and the liberal democrats took one. and in northern ireland, sinn fein has become the largest westminster party, keeping all seven seats it won in 2019, while the dup lost three of the eight held at the last general election, leaving it with five. so the new prime minister, sir keir starmer, is preparing for the first meeting of his cabinet. it features a record 11 women, including deputy prime minister angela rayner who is the new levelling up, housing and communities secretary, and rachel reeves, who becomes the uk's first female chancellor. meanwhile, david lammy is foreign secretary and ed miliband becomes energy secretary — a similar role to the one he held at the end of the last labour government in 2010. our political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street and joins us now. nick, morning to you. i know you
7:07 am
will look ahead, but i always think the first night in a new home, a new place is always quite exciting stop but i understand from your latest note, you have given us all the information, that he did not stay overnight in downing street. ida. overnight in downing street. no, keir starmer— overnight in downing street. iifrl, keir starmer went back to his house in north london last night. that's pretty normal though, naga, in north london last night. that's pretty normalthough, naga, normally when you get a new prime minister they take a bit of time to settle in. i think rishi sunak probably still has some stuff to move out as well, so the practicalities of that happening take a while. one thing you can tell you, in the last women as they have just put a st george's flag, an england flag above downing street, presumably a nod towards the football later this evening. but it is a really big day for keir starmer, aside from the fact that it's his first full day as prime minister, he has a lot to do. later this morning he will get the new cabinet coming up the street again for their first
7:08 am
cabinet coming up the street again for theirfirst cabinet cabinet coming up the street again for their first cabinet meeting, with some pretty daunting entries, actually, to talk through a few of them. the new health secretary, wes streeting, talk about the nhs being broken and his priority being to fix it. he will have talks next week with junior doctors to try and stop those strikes, but that is going to be challenging, given the need to find the money to pay them more. there is the new chancellor, rachel reeves, she has a daunting entry, she has talked a lot about delivering economic growth but she has to find a way of doing it in a sustainable way, which has been pretty tricky over the past couple of years. david lammy, the new foreign secretary, he takes over a really volatile time in the world, doesn't he? the war in ukraine, the conflict in gaza, plenty else happening besides. so there is a daunting entry for a lot of the governor. a busy day for keir starmer. after that cabinet meeting my understanding is he will hold a press conference to introduce himself a bit more to the nation,
7:09 am
i'm told that is designed to show accountability. it's a statement of intent from sir keir that he will make himself available to talk to journalists and the nation as and when is necessary. it will also get on with the job of appointing more junior ministers over the course of the weekend. so, if you thought you might get a bit of time to find your feet under the table and get used to the topjob, keir starmer might be surprised. the topjob, keir starmer might be surrised. w' the topjob, keir starmer might be surrised. .~ ., the topjob, keir starmer might be surrised. ., , the topjob, keir starmer might be surrised. . , . surprised. nick, thanks very much for that. surprised. nick, thanks very much for that- we _ surprised. nick, thanks very much for that. we shall _ surprised. nick, thanks very much for that. we shall speak _ surprised. nick, thanks very much for that. we shall speak later. i many of the uk's smaller parties have been celebrating success in the election, including the green party, which saw its total number of mps increase from one to four. the party held on to brighton pavilion and secured wins in bristol central, north herefordshire and in waveney valley, where our reporter alex dunlop has been to find out more. adrian ramsay has just made history, the eastern region's first green member of parliament. it’s the eastern region's first green

grandchildren and that was a reason for them voting green wherever in the political spectrum they have been before, they wanted more green voices in parliament. they also feel that our area, particularly a rural area, has been let down by the decline in local services, the lack of nhs dentists, the gps and hospitals being oversubscribed, so they want a strong, visible local mp. first and foremost they will be a very strong local mp, to stand up for them and press for the changes that are needed to restore services in our area and restore our natural environment. in our area and restore our natural environment-— in our area and restore our natural environment. now, you will be more than aware — environment. now, you will be more than aware that _ environment. now, you will be more than aware that we _ environment. now, you will be more than aware that we spoke _ environment. now, you will be more than aware that we spoke many - environment. now, you will be more i than aware that we spoke many times, he has been on this programme, and we asked you before how many seats are you targeting's you have got four. are you happy with the result? can you now tell us if that was anywhere near close to what you are hoping to get for the election? well, naga, in our previous discussions they answered your question very honestly about what our aims were for this election. they said to you that we were

7:23 am
for wimbledon today, some showers moving their way through and some risk of thundery showers pushing through as well. overnight, showers for parts of northern ireland and northway ways and into northern england as well —— north wales and overnight temperatures getting down to 6— eight celsius. sunday, showers again but not as many as today. we will see the showers initially a past northern parts of wales and england, becoming more numerous into the afternoon but some of the showers could be heavy and thundery affecting the wimbledon area and silverstone as well for the grand prix. scotland, 15 celsius, elsewhere temperature is about 15— 18 degrees and it will fill quite disappointing for this time of year but we get some sunshine, out of the wind, it will still fill fairly warm. monday, more cloud moving into
7:24 am
southwest england into wales and a few showers dotted around northern and eastern areas but on monday, it should be drier and some sunny spells. as a result, temperatures may come up a little bit, 16— 20 degrees and coming closer to the average but still not quite there and it stays settled for the rest of the week. it stays changeable into next week and with those temperatures into the high teens and into the low 20s and it will fill quite disappointing for this time of year. quite disappointing for this time of ear. . ., quite disappointing for this time of ear. _, . ~ let's bring you news away from the uk election now. us presidentjoe biden says only lord almighty could convince him to end his bid for re—election, despite growing calls to step aside. during a debate with donald trump last week, mr biden was seen to lose his train of thought — something he has repeatedly
7:25 am
blamed on illness. he has spoken to abc news in his first major television interview since the debate, as our north america correspondent, peter bowes, reports. do you want to talk about your message in wisconsin? can you still beat trump? "yes," replied the president, as he boarded air force one to rally the democratic voters in the state was constant. haunted by his disastrous debate performance against donald trump, joe biden still has to convince many of his supporters that he is fit enough to serve a second term. the crowd at this campaign rally was enthusiastic enough but the president felt he had to say it again. what isjoe going to do? is he going to stay in the race? is he going to drop out, what is he going to do? here is my answer, i am running and i am going to win again! a rousing reception here, but what about the rest of the country? several members of congress, including one democratic senator, have called
7:26 am
for the president to pull out of the race. shortly after the rally, he sat down for an interview with abc news, who pressed the president on what had gone wrong during the debate and why he had been so exhausted. because i was sick. i was feeling terrible. the doctors with me, i asked that they did a covid test to figure out what was wrong, he tested to see whether or not i had some infection or a virus, i didn't, ijust had a really bad cold. did you ever watch the debate afterwards? i don't think i did, no. the president was asked whether he would take a cognitive test and release the results to the people. he said it wasn't necessary. i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have that test, everything i do. not only am i campaigning but i'm running the world. that sounds like hyperbole but we are the central nation
7:27 am
in the world. every single day, today before i came out here i'm on the phone with the prime minister of... i shouldn't have given the detail but with benjamin netanyahu, i'm on the phone with the new prime minster of england. he cast doubt on opinion polls that said he is trailing behind donald trump. he didn't think anyone was more qualified or better than him to win the race. the interview is unlikely to silence the democratic critics who want him to call it a day. the head of israel's spy agency, mossad, has returned home for consultations after meeting mediators in qatar for ceasefire talks on gaza. the discussions also covered the possible release of israelis held hostage, and of palestinian prisoners. hopes for a deal have been raised after a revised proposalfrom hamas.
7:28 am
iran's presidential election has been won by reformist masoud pezeshkian, who beat his conservative rival saeed jalili by almost three million votes. voting stations stayed open six hours longer than scheduled to accommodate a huge surge in turnout. there's been a big increase in the number of people asking for help after their energy suppliers passed their bills on to debt collection agencies. figures seen exclusively by radio 4's money box show the number has increased by nearly 90% in just four years. money box's dan whitworth has been taking a look. when it comes to problems with energy bills, teresa has faced more than most. not only did she receive a wildly inaccurate bill from british gas, supposedly owing more than £60,000 for her small 1—bed flat in lancaster, but she and herfamily spent five months trying to get it corrected. only for her to be finally told because you haven't paid the bill, her details are being passed to a debt collection agency. i couldn't believe it! absolutely bonkers!
7:29 am
no way i could have used that much electricity. i think i see paying for the whole town! let alone one person in a small bedroom flat. this has been going on forfive months and it is scary. i want it resolved. in 2020, citizens advice said slightly fewer than 2,500 people came to them for help after finding their energy supply had landed details over to debt collection agencies, something the regulator says should always be a last resort. last year, the number was more than 4500. citizens advice recognises the numbers are small but also says what it calls aggressive collection tactics by suppliers are becoming more common. the numbers are huge at the moment, in the thousands but there are 5 million people living in households that are in energy debt at the moment and are at risk of practices like this and sending
7:30 am
bailiffs to the door are people who have fallen behind on bills is treating them like they are hiding money behind the sofa when the reality is they cannot pay in this kind of practices cannot be the answer. after money box got involved, british gas apologised to teresa and said how sorry they were to let her down and energy uk, which speaks with suppliers, says resolving a problem this bit cannot be done by industry alone and anyone struggling to pay their bill should contact their supplier, which are obliged to offer help and support. dan whitworth, bbc news. you can hear more about this story on bbc radio 4's money box at midday. john innes in dusseldorf looking ahead to the ceilings game. we will have more on that and the rest of the sport shortly. —— this evening's game.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning. sir keir starmer is beginning his first full day as prime minister, following labour's landslide election victory. later this morning, he will hold a meeting of his newly appointed cabinet, after vowing to start work immediately. whether you voted labour or notjust us in fact, especially if you did not, ice age you directly, my
7:32 am
government will serve you, politics can be a force for good, also that. we have changed the labour party, returned to service, and that is how we will govern — country first, party second. changing a country is not like flicking a switch, the world is now a more volatile place. this will take a while. but have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately. his new cabinet includes a record 11 women, including rachel reeves, who's become the uk's first female chancellor. she says she's got a challenge on her hands though, issuing a damning assessment of the state of the uk's finances. meanwhile, new health secretary wes streeting says the nhs is "broken", warning that it cannot be fixed overnight. when we said during the election campaign that the nhs was going through the biggest crisis in its
7:33 am
history, we meant it. when we said that patients are being failed on a daily basis it wasn't political rhetoric, but the daily reality faced by millions. from today, the policy of this department is that the nhs is broken stop that is the experience of patients who are not receiving the care they deserve and of the staff working in the nhs who can see that despite giving their best this is not good enough. the election was notable not only for a labour landslide — but also the loss of high—profile conservatives. former prime minister liz truss saw her majority of 26,000 overturned in southwest norfolk. defence secretary grant shapps — who's held government posts for much of the tories'11i years in power — lost his welwyn hatfield seat. and influential backbencher, sirjacob rees mogg, was defeated in north east somerset and hanham — a seat with a majority

7:44 am
if they lose, it'll be murray's final match at the championships. he does have a partner in impressive form, with raducanu beating a top ten player for the second time in as many tournaments to reach the fourth round of the singles. maria sakkari was the ninth seed, but raducanu won in straight sets to allow her to focus on the doubles today. i willjust take direction and follow his lead. i will have to do a crash course in doubles tonight but i will have fun tomorrow regardless and of course i will cherish the opportunity because it is just such an honour. sonay kartal�*s memorable run came to an end at the hands of coco gauff. kartal, who's ranked 298th in the world and had to qualify for the main draw, wonjust four games as she was beaten by the american second seed. in the men's draw, defending champion carlos alcaraz is into round four — but onlyjust. he came from two sets to one down to beat frances tiafoe in five
7:45 am
in a match that lasted nearly four hours. and the world number one jannik sinner is also through — in much more comfortable circumstances. he beat the serbian miomir kecmanovic in straight sets in the final match on centre court. the centre court programme yesterday started with a winner. the man having his photo taken then took the opportunity of being in the iconic arena — waiting until he saw himself on the big screen, by the looks of things, to propose to his partner. and after a bit of consideration she did say yes. home favourite lando norris will be looking to pick up where he left off when he returns to the silverstone track today for qualifying ahead of the british grand prix tomorrow. the mclaren driver went fastest in both of yesterday practice sessions — in rather wet conditions — finishing a third of a second quicker than his teammate oscar piastri.
7:46 am
championship leader max verstappen was seventh—fastest, with lewis hamilton just ahead of him. super league leaders wigan strengthened their position at the top of the table after clinching a derby victory over leigh leopards. bevan french scored twice for the warriors in an 18—6 win. here's his second, which came from this intrepid kick and chase. wigan's victory takes them four points clear. and that's because st helens were beaten 8—6 by castleford, who cut a run of three straight defeats with this win. two more matches to come today, including a chance for hull kr to go second when they host catalans dragons. and tadej pogacar kept hold of the leaders' yellowjersey in the tour de france despite missing—out on victory in stage seven. he was beaten by remco evenepoel. the belgian is riding in his first tour de france, and had to take risks to hold off pogarcar, finishing with a puncture to win the time trial and cutting pogacar�*s overall lead to 33 seconds.

of seats. the liberal democrats made significant gains, securing 71 seats. its biggest tally since 1923. reform uk have five and the green party have four. it's not been good news for the snp which saw a large drop to just nine seats in westminster. let's take a closer look at the picture across the nations. as you've just heard, in scotland, the snp lost 38 seats. of those 38, all but two were taken by labour— with scotland being the only part of the uk where the labour vote share rose sharply. meanwhile, the scottish conservatives won five seats. if we have a look at wales... the conservatives lost 12 seats in wales, meaning the party has no mps there. labour gained nine seats, taking the party's total to 27.
8:07 am
plaid cymru now has four and the liberal democrats took one. and in northern ireland, sinn fein has become the largest westminster party, keeping all seven seats it won in 2019, while the dup lost three of the eight held at the last general election— leaving it with five. so the new prime minister, sir keir starmer, is preparing for the first meeting of his cabinet. it features a record 11 women, including deputy prime minister angela rayner who is the new "levelling up, housing and communities secretary", and rachel reeves, who becomes the uk's first female chancellor. meanwhile, david lammy is foreign secretary and ed miliband becomes energy secretary — a similar role to the one he held at the end of the last labour government in 2010. our political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street and joins us now. nick, a busy day ahead for the new prime minister? good morning to you, nick, i see you are in the rain and as i understand it, we were talking about that first

8:09 am
hour of the job that the nhs is broken and it is hisjob to hour of the job that the nhs is broken and it is his job to fix it. that's not going to be easy. one of the first things is going to try to do is to end those junior doctor strikes, such a problem for the nhs of late. then there is a question about how you get the money to do that. to pay thejunior doctors more, that is one of the questions that the chancellor will face as well. where is the money to deal with some of these pay disputes that of course, strikes, to do with some of course, strikes, to do with some of the challenges for public services. she has taught a lot about economic growth but how many times have we talked about that could it is easier said than done. it it might take some time to get the economic growth that she hoped for. david lammy, the foreign secretary, who will be at that cabinet meeting on the foreign secretary, who will be at that cabinet meeting in a few hours' time as well so he faces the daunting challenges in the world in gaza, and plenty more despite met besides. it was all cheery, a lot of smiles and a lot of cheering yesterday in downing street but keir
8:10 am
starmer knows that it is not going to be all plain sailing. the honeymoon will be short and there are a lot of big challenges to face up are a lot of big challenges to face up to thou that he is in government. another thing to show you, charlie, the prime minister says he's going to do a press conference at lunchtime at around one o'clock today to answer some of the questions that manyjournalists and members of the public has about what he plans to do with power. i'm told that it he plans to do with power. i'm told thatitis he plans to do with power. i'm told that it is supposed to show accountability in at number ten and he hopes that it will show a new style from the new prime minister. that press conference around one o'clock. . ~' ., that press conference around one o'clock. . ,, ., ., . ,, o'clock. nick, for the moment thank ou ve o'clock. nick, for the moment thank you very much- _ labour's landslide victory has seen traditionally true blue seats turn red for the first time — including some of the country's leafiest suburbs. among them is altrincham in greater manchester, which had been conservative for more than a century. but now, labour has taken the seat — and our reporter nick garnett has spent the day there.
8:11 am
cheers! they really do exist. we're celebrating the most incredible labour landslide that i've ever seen. i definitely remember 97. and to see it, what's happened today, it'sjust incredible. and we're delighted for our family, our parents, our children's futures. ifeel, you know, absolutely delighted for that and for our hospitals the nhs. it's time for change. a new dawn has arrived. celebrations for some, but for others it's less about merriment, more about necessity. with the tory government, i feel like there was a lot of. it was quite chaotic, wasn't it? i think it's a welcome change. we're looking forward _ to allthe positive, um, changes that the labour government are going to bring. - there's been so many mistakes being made. it's everyone wants something, a change, whether that's going to be for the better or not. not quite sure.
8:12 am
um, but people have voted with their feet this on this occasion, which is, like i say, a surprise in view of the area. definitely. i wouldn't have thought it, but that shows the, uh, how the country is feeling. this really doesn't fit the picture of a northern labour voting constituency. this is a land of millionaires. not everyone, of course, but more than in many parts of britain. true blue. for 101 years, it's got some of the country's most expensive postcodes. now, you don't often see signs like this up the road from the croquet club, the lawn tennis club and the prep school. but across britain, the message appears to have been the same. but change isn't always welcome. labour's plans to tax private education and concerns over the future of local grammar schools is troubling some parents here. i recently had a baby and we've moved back into the area a month ago, and so were eligible for the best schools in the area. reviewing the grammar school system, which is a worry for me, i think there are an incredible part of the educational system. and, you know, there is the private school and there's the the comp school, and it really it really does
8:13 am
provide a part in between. the worry is that then that becomes, um, you know, a normal public school. this is just a snapshot. opinions in the aftermath of a seismic event, a century of conservative rule here coming to an end for now. and for those who didn't fancy talking politics today, well, at least the sun is shining in the beer garden. nick garnett, bbc news. the conservatives were left without a single seat in greater manchester this week — having lost nine across the region overall. our reporter phil mccann is in the town of bury — the home of traditionally marginal results — to find out what swayed voters this time around. i noticed you're in a theatre there given the drama it might be appropriate. given the drama it might be appropriate-— given the drama it might be appropriate. given the drama it might be auroriate. , . , ., appropriate. yes, i feel a bit and address i feel _ appropriate. yes, i feel a bit and address i feel like _ appropriate. yes, i feel a bit and address i feel like i _ appropriate. yes, i feel a bit and address i feel like i should - appropriate. yes, i feel a bit and address i feel like i should be . address i feel like i should be wearing — address i feel like i should be wearing a dinnerjacket or something

showers will continue to move their way eastward. as we go into the afternoon there will eventually clear away from east anglia but we are still left with a rash of showers into this afternoon. some sunny spells are developing, particularly for northern ireland, north—west england and wales and through southern areas of england this afternoon. temperatures, i2 through southern areas of england this afternoon. temperatures, 12 or 13 degrees in the north in scotland, 16 or 17 celsius elsewhere. well below the average for the time of year. it means that for wimbledon today, there is a chance of some showers, more so into tomorrow as well. some of those showers can be foundry. overnight tonight, the rush of showers will ease off for a time and some clear spells into this evening and overnight. further showers will start to get going in northern wales, north—west england and into the south—west by the early part of sunday morning. overnight temperatures down to about seven or 10 degrees. sunday, again, looking very changeable, very mixed with these heavy showers moving on. as
8:21 am
they move from parts of wales to southern england, they really started going into the afternoon. some sunny spells between the showers for scotland and northern ireland. the wins should be a little bit lighter through tomorrow but it means for silverstone, some heavy showers this morning but for tomorrow, the risk of those thundery downpours for a time with temperatures at 16 or 17 celsius. elsewhere, those temperatures may be slightly higher than today, certainly in the north—east of scotland with 11! or 15 degrees and 16 to 18 celsius elsewhere. into next week, monday morning starts with a dry note with some cloud increasing in west england and into wales and showers moving on. showers into northern ireland and into scotland and some sunny spells elsewhere. the wins will be lighter and temperatures creeping up a little bit so maybe 19 or 20 degrees in glasgow and we could see 20 celsius towards eastern and south—eastern areas of england but as we go through the week, it will
8:22 am
stay fairly changeable. low pressure moving in for tuesday giving some heavy rain and that will push northwards into wednesday staying a little bit showery. temperatures throughout the week, will remain a fairly below—average. this is today, six or 7 degrees below average and as we go through to next week, those darker blues, this is the anomaly, the difference from normal. it becomes more like white and that's more like average. we can we will be more like average. we can we will be more at the average into next week and as i said, it will stay quite changeable as well, if you're looking for summer, it is still not quite here. looking for summer, it is still not quite here-— us presidentjoe biden says only "lord almighty" could convince him to end his bid for re—election, despite growing calls to step aside. during a debate with donald trump last week, mr biden was seen to lose his train of thought — something he has repeatedly blamed on illness. he has spoken to abc news in his first major television interview since the debate,
8:23 am
as our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. do you want to talk about your message in wisconsin? can you still beat trump? yes, replied the president, as he boarded air force one to run the democratic voters in the state was constant. —— to rally voters in the state of wisconsin. ordered by his disastrous debate performance against donald trump, joe biden still has to convince many of his supporters that he is fit enough to serve a second term. the crowd at this campaign rally was enthusiastic enough but the president felt he had to say it again. what isjoe going to do? is he going to stay in the race? is he going to drop out, what is going to do? here is my answer, iam running and i am going to win again! a rousing reception here, but what about the rest of the country? several members of congress including one democratic senator have called for the president
8:24 am
to pull out of the race. shortly after the rally he sat down for an interview with abc news, who pressed the president on what had gone wrong during the debate and why he had been so exhausted. because i was sick, i was feeling terrible. the doctors with me i asked that they did a covid test to figure out what was wrong, he tested to see whether or not i had some infection or a virus, i didn't, ijust had a really bad cold. did you ever watch the debate afterwards? i don't think i did, no. the president was asked whether he had taken cognitive tests and released the results to the people. he said it wasn't necessary. i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have that test, everything i do. not only am i campaigning but i'm running the world. that sounds like hyperbole but we are the central nation in the world. every single day, today before i came out here i'm on the phone with the prime minister of...
8:25 am
i shouldn't have given the detail but with benjamin netanyahu, i'm on the phone with a prime minster of england. he cast doubt on opinion polls that said he is trailing behind donald trump. he didn't think anyone was more qualified or better than him to win the race. the interview is unlikely to silence the democratic critics who want him to call it a day. the head of israel's spy agency, mossad, has returned home for consultations after meeting mediators in qatar for ceasefire talks on gaza. the discussions also covered the possible release of israelis held hostage, and of palestinian prisoners. hopes for a deal have been raised after a revised proposalfrom hamas. iran's presidential election has been won by reformist

massoud pezeshkian, who beat his conservative rival saeed jalili by almost three million votes. voting stations stayed open six hours longer than scheduled to accommodate a huge surge in turnout. there's been a big increase in the number of people asking for help after their energy suppliers passed their bills on to debt collection agencies. figures seen exclusively by radio 4's money box show the number has increased by nearly 90 percent in just four years. money box's dan whitworth has been taking a look. when it comes to problems with energy bills, theresa newsham has faced more than most. not only did she receive a wildly inaccurate bill from british gas, suppose owing more than £60,000 for her small one bed flat in lancaster, but she and herfamily spent five months trying to get it corrected, only for her to finally be told because she hadn't paid the bill, her details were being passed on to a debt collection agency. i couldn't believe it, absolutely. it's absolutely bonkers, and there's no way i'd have used that much electricity. i think i must be paying
8:27 am
for the whole town, let alone one person's small bedroom flat. it's been going on for five months, and it's — yeah, it's scary, and, you know, time it was resolved. in 2020, citizens advice says slightly fewer than 2500 people came to them for help after finding their energy supplier had handed their details over to debt collection agencies, something the regulator ofgem says should always be a last resort. last year, that number was more than 4500. citizens advice recognises the numbers are small, but also says what it calls aggressive collection tactics by suppliers are becoming more common. the numbers are not huge at the moment, in the thousands, but we know that there are 5 million people living in households that are in energy debt at the moment, and are at risk of practices like this, and sending bailiffs to the door of people who have fallen behind on their bills is treating them like they are just hiding money down the back of the sofa, when the reality is that they can't pay, and these kind of practicesjust
8:28 am
can't be the answer. after money box got involved, british gas apologised to theresa and said how sorry it was to let her down. energy uk, which speaks for suppliers, says resolving a problem this big cannot be done by industry alone, and anyone struggling to pay their bills should contact their supplier, which are obliged to offer help and support. dan whitworth, bbc news. sabrina carpenter, the american singer behind two of this summer's biggest songs, has broken a uk chart record. the 25—year—old has become the first female artist to hold both the number one and number two slots on the singles chart simultaneously for three consecutive weeks. it comes after her track, 'please please please' remained in the top spot, with her previous single 'espresso', holding on at number two.
8:29 am
we will have the headlines coming up in a few minutes. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. sir keir starmer is beginning his first full day as prime minister, following labour's landslide election victory. later this morning, he will hold a meeting of his newly appointed cabinet, after vowing to start work immediately. whether you voted labour or not, in fact, especially if you did not, i say to you directly, my government will serve you. politics can be a force for good.
8:30 am
we will show that. we have changed the labour party, returned it to service, and that is how we will govern. country first, party second. changing a country is not like flicking a switch. the world is now a more volatile place. this will take a while, but have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately. his new cabinet includes a record 11 women, including rachel reeves who's become the uk's first female chancellor. within the last half hour, she arrived at number 11 downing street ahead of today's cabinet meeting. yesterday she said there's a challenge ahead, issuing a damning
8:31 am
assessment of the state of the uk's finances. i'm under no illusions about the scale of the challenges that we face, the difficult choices that we will have to make. i'm not promising you that it will be easy. there is a long road ahead. it comes with a great weight of responsibility. i embrace it. it will demand hard work. i am ready for it. new health secretary wes streeting says the nhs is "broken", warning that it cannot be fixed overnight. he became the shadow health secretary in november 2021, only months after he was diagnosed with and treated for kidney cancer, something he says he wants to repay the nhs for. when we said during the election campaign that the nhs was going through the biggest crisis in its history, we meant it. when we said that patients are being failed on a daily basis, it wasn't political rhetoric, but the daily reality faced by millions.
8:32 am
from today, the policy of this department is that the nhs is broken. that is the experience of patients who are not receiving the care they deserve and of the staff working in the nhs who can see that despite giving their best, this is not good enough. as the new cabinet prepare to meet, the other parties have a different agenda ahead today. as the tories discuss what went wrong, rishi sunak says he will stay on as conservative leader for now until plans are in place to choose his successor. it's likely the scottish liberal democrat angus macdonald, seen here on the right, will win the last undeclared seat as a second recount gets under way this morning. he's hoping to win inverness, sky and west ross—shire, after his snp rival conceded defeat yesterday. reform uk leader nigel farage has promised to use his platform in parliament to change the electoral system which saw
8:33 am
the party's 14% vote share, return just five mps. calls echoed by the green party, which saw 7% of the votes give them four mps. co—leader adrian ramsay said he wanted to see a "fairer system" to ensure that "every vote counts equally". we're nowjoined by polling expert professor sirjohn curtice, who's worked on every general election for the bbc since 1979. is that true, since 1979? i'm is that true, since1979? i'm afraid it is, it's 45 years of elections. can ijust it is, it's 45 years of elections. can i just do a it is, it's 45 years of elections. can ijust do a health check on you? you had a very late night, you've been working a lot, how's things? brilliant, i got to bed at eight o'clock last evening, and i said continuously, so at my age that's a rare luxury. continuously, so at my age that's a rare luxury-— rare luxury. give us a snapshot. if someone is _ rare luxury. give us a snapshot. if

someone is seeking _ rare luxury. give us a snapshot. if someone is seeking to _ rare luxury. give us a snapshot. if someone is seeking to impress i someone is seeking to impress someone is seeking to impress someone they are meeting for a cup of coffee this morning or whatever, the snapshot of the scale of what happened in this general election. there are many, many ways in which this election has come up with an unprecedented result. the most obvious is that the conservative share of the vote, 24% in great britain, is by far and away their worst performance in an election since all the way back to 1832, which is the first election we regard as in any sense a democratically election. it's the most disproportional outcome in history, notjust in the fact that the labour party got little more than one third of the vote and has two thirds of the sea, but also looking at what has happened to other parties, most obviously the contrast between the level of support for liberal democrats at around 12%, so they will end up in 72 seats, and the support for reform
8:35 am
which will about 50%, and which is going to end up with five seats, so there's an awful lot of disproportionality, and i think we will already begin to see the outbreak of the debate about electoral reform, so thirdly no government, no single party majority government, no single party majority government, has come to power with as little as 34% of the vote across the uk as a whole, which is what labour achieved. the honest truth is this is an unprecedented election in many ways. people like me have been fed plenty of material to debate, discuss and analyse in the course of the next two years as we unravel the way the electoral system is operated, and the reasons as to why voters behaved as they did, but clearly there are also some of these questions we will be examining. it's clearly also potentially of importance to our wider understanding as to where we want things to go in future. {sited

8:37 am
2001, and if you think it is all over bar the shouting and it's not going to make much difference who wins anyway, that tend to depress turnout. there are two other factors at play, one is that frankly neither keir starmer nor rishi sunak infuse the electorate. they are not charismatic politicians, they struggle to come up with the kind of synoptic vision that is encapsulated in messages like get brexit done. labour's strapline with change, and that was it, and the conservatives had something about secure future and bold plan, but no one could ever manage to remember it. neither of them are visionary politicians, so that therefore doesn't it use the electorate, and then we have an election that's pretty distrusting of politicians and government these days, and when you look at opinion polls, they say, yeah, these ideas seem fine, but they were unable to get together to do it, so you can
8:38 am
see why a lot of people probably decided to stay home. we have an electric now that needs a reason to vote. we will go to the polling station and i think a lot of people just didn't feel they were given sufficient reason to vote. just lookin: sufficient reason to vote. just looking at _ sufficient reason to vote. just looking at the _ looking at the proportional representation argument and promised to be my first past the post argument, we had a vote in 2011 of alternative voting. i don't know how enthusiastic people were voting for that. it is that a likelihood as the analysis continues? voices like nigel farage in the reform party and adrian ramsay and the green party. will voices get louder? we had a choice in 2011 between two majoritarian systems most of which would be vulnerable to impact biogeographicalfactors, the alternative vote system is just as vulnerable to that, and the geography of party support that ensured the electoral system played
8:39 am
out as it did, it was not a choice backin out as it did, it was not a choice back in 2011 between a majoritarian system such as first past the post and proportional representation, so i think injuries to the debate that is now coming forward, what happened in 2011 is not really relevant. another factor to take away, the labour party at its party conference two years ago voted in favour of proportional representation, so the party of government is no party whose official policy is that we should change the actual system. however, sir keir starmer never embraced that conference resolution, did not appear in the manifesto, and history suggests that opposition parties who think about electoral reform when in opposition, their enthusiasm disappears like snow in april if they do indeed get into power. the same thing happened to labour after the 1997 election. so, i think we will have a debate, a lot of parties will be saying things should be going to change, but i doubt if anything is actually going
8:40 am
to change in the next five years, and less, the only thing i can think might happen, as if the labour party does become decidedly unpopular between now and the next election and its spots in time that it may also be heading for the kind of result that the conservatives have just suffered, then they mightjust work out that it might be an interest to change the system in order to avoid that disaster, so far at least british history has not been replete with that kind of swift fleet of foot thinking about the electoral system, so i suspect we will still be voting on the first past the post in 2028 or 2029. personally, i'm pleased to speak to you 45 years after your first general election coverage with us, so thank you very much, thanks for imparting wisdom. it’s so thank you very much, thanks for imparting wisdom.— it was a night of historic losses for the conservatives with high profile names losing their seats — including former prime minister liz truss, defence secretary grant shapps,

8:42 am
statecraft to return. we need britain to play its role on the international stage. how long this government remains in office, though, is important to us. we enter a new chapter, certainly, but this is a sobering wake—up call for people like myself, for the conservative party as a whole, and we need to take time to regroup, and redefine what modern pragmatic centre—right conservativism actually is. what we stand for a moment to what is our vision? there's been a tussle as to where we sit in the political spectrum at the moment. the economy may have been improving, but a tribal warfare within our ranks sends a very confusing message to the electorate. disunited or discipline parties simply don't win elections, so let's take time. how

8:44 am
leader, because the common denominator throughout the recent political turbulence over the past few years, which has really hampered rishi sunak, has been that absence of enthusiasm in the collective resolve, and i strongly believe that until the power of selecting the party leaders returned to the parliamentary party you are going to continue to get one of the future leadership leaders not to work with their colleagues but try to appeal to the base itself, and if you only appeal to the base but not beyond thatis appeal to the base but not beyond that is not a winning formula for a conservative leader. we need to be the modern, pragmatic centre—right party that riches out of the whole of britain. so there is a big conversation to be had, nothing is to be done immediately, i hope rishi sunak is willing to take as long as it takes to have the conversation, learn from the british people and re—craft a winning formula so they

after they played portugal last night. a goalless draw, and when you think england haven't hit the heights, france hasn't either. this went to extra time, had to be settled on penalties. 5—3 and went to france in the penalty shoot—out, cristiano ronaldo scoring his penalty. kylian mbappe was not on the pitch to take his penalty, but as it stands it will be france against spain on tuesday. what of england? gareth southgate, the england? gareth southgate, the england manager, has been in a prickly mood, because there is this sense of entitlement among some england supporters that they deserve to win this trophy, that they should win this trophy, and speaking ahead of the much to come, gareth southgate said yes, they might be an easy part of the draw, avoiding some of those harder nations, but the
8:52 am
need to keep their eye on the ball. ourfocus is on, how do we win this game, and how do we play to the best of our ability? as you rightly said, we've never been to a final outside england, we've only had two finals in our history, three semifinals, so lots of nations who we might perceive, as english people, to be smaller have had far better records than us — in terms of winning things, in terms of getting to the latter stages of finals, it's half the problem we have. anyone who has been following our coverage out here in germany will know we have spent some time on campsites, intense, campervans. as yet we have not been on a boat, until now, thanks to england fans john and brian. both: welcome to hms it's coming home! i thanks for having us, chaps. permission to come aboard. thank you very much indeed. let's go! look at this. welcome to our humble abode. thank you. so, like england, you guys are still here. by luck or by design,

whose idea was it to spend the tournament on about? guilty. i'm sorry. itjust seemed a perfect setting for us. so, you seem confident, because it's been choppy waters, hasn't it, for gareth southgate and england? if you look at the... we've been here at the games, and we know how the games have been, but it's the same for a lot of other teams, and if you look at the teams are england have played, slovakia beat belgium, denmark— could have beaten but germany, slovenia should have beaten portugal. so, as long as you get through, by hook or crook, it doesn't matter, you know? so, against the swiss, you'd have signed up for that before the tournament in the quarterfinals, so, yeah, we're very, very confident at the moment. so, if england win later, who's most likely tojump overboard in celebration? well, let me correct you first. when we went. absolutely. top bombing. # reaching out
