there's all sorts of issues that the have . there's all sorts of issues that they have been _ . there's all sorts of issues that they have been putting - . there's all sorts of issues that they have been putting forward, i . there's all sorts of issues that. they have been putting forward, the committee on standards in public life, there's a number of practical things they can do which will make a real difference and will ensure that we come back to a situation that happened during most of my time in government, where we have an understanding of everyone knows that honesty, objectivity, integrity, impartiality, those of the civil service values, and we really need governments to pick up on that honesty and integrity, and basically coming clean with the british public about what the situation is really like and what the difficult options it faces are. things are not easy. i heard a reporter talking to the cabinet minister coming in, saying when other homes going to be built?

it will take a while. things are not going to be fantastically better come monday. we need to get in place the changes which will deliver in the changes which will deliver in the years to come, and to pick up on what keir starmer saying, ensure a better future our children. haw what keir starmer saying, ensure a better future our children. how fast can government _ better future our children. how fast can government move? _ better future our children. how fast can government move? will- better future our children. how fast can government move? will civil i can government move? will civil servants behind the scenes already have been getting some sort of planning together? film. have been getting some sort of planning together?— planning together? 0h, most certainly- _ planning together? oh, most certainly- i— planning together? 0h, most certainly. i was _ planning together? 0h, most certainly. i was talking - planning together? 0h, most certainly. i was talking to - planning together? 0h, most certainly. i was talking to a l planning together? 0h, most - certainly. i was talking to a number of senior civil servants who asked me to come in and give my experiences of the past, and the one message i had to then was, if i were you, i would look again at your summer holidays, because actually there's a huge amount of work to be done over the summer. parliament will be sitting just for a couple more weeks at the end ofjuly, then the whole of august, september, i would expect in the treasury, they may well be looking at a budget in

september. there is a lot of work to be done, so dare i say it, holidays might be put on hold or delayed. yes, it was one of the things when i was standing here when the election was standing here when the election was called that i posed to our correspondence, because we are used to seeing a long recess through the summer, and yet we have listened to sir keir starmer on the list of things that need to be done, the things that need to be done, the things that need to be done, the things that are broken, that doesn't suggest the mp5, the party, the government, goes away for a long summer, so you expect a pretty short recess, do you?— recess, do you? yeah, i would imaaine recess, do you? yeah, i would imagine all— recess, do you? yeah, i would imagine all of— recess, do you? yeah, i would imagine all of august - recess, do you? yeah, i would imagine all of august will - recess, do you? yeah, i would imagine all of august will be l recess, do you? yeah, i would - imagine all of august will be free, because let's face it, all the mp5 deserve a break, like the rest of us, but there will be a lot of work on the policies. already they have got to, we got the kings speech coming up in a few days' time. that has got to be clear about what

legislation the government wants, but people who understand policy will know that legislation is part of that, by no means all of it, and there's lots of other things in regulation, on the kinds of changes you need, what are the best ways to achieve those changes? it will be working on that through august. a, working on that through august. a final quick sort, what are the bear traps to avoid in these early weeks and months? the traps to avoid in these early weeks and months?— traps to avoid in these early weeks and months? the number one bear tra, the and months? the number one bear trap, the kneejerk _ and months? the number one bear trap, the kneejerk reaction - and months? the number one bear trap, the kneejerk reaction that, i and months? the number one bear| trap, the kneejerk reaction that, we are going to solve this, we are going to do x or y, when actually you don't know what x or y is, whether it will solve the problem, so i would say the biggest piston take i've seen people make isjump in and say they are going to do something when they actually haven't worked out whether practically it is possible. you take a lot of the issues they're facing, prisons, james timpson, wonderful men coming

in looking after prisons, that is not going to be so straightaway. we do need some new, better, more efficient prisons, we need to think about how we manage the relationship between the sentencing in the number of places we have got in our prisons. again, not solved overnight. i think it will be really important for ministers to lay out their vision, to say what they ultimately want to achieve, and then work with civil servants and their special advisers and experts outside experts, actually come up with the best way to achieving them. thanks so much for — best way to achieving them. thanks so much forjoining _ best way to achieving them. thanks so much forjoining us _ best way to achieving them. thanks so much forjoining us here - best way to achieving them. thanks so much forjoining us here on - best way to achieving them. thanks so much forjoining us here on bbcl so much forjoining us here on bbc news. let me bring the curly back in. as you are doing the interview, interrupted several times by cabinet rivals... fix. interrupted several times by cabinet rivals... �* , interrupted several times by cabinet rivals... ~ , .,. , .,

that you are moving in. i think that's true, but _ that you are moving in. i think that's true, but there's - that you are moving in. i think that's true, but there's a - that you are moving in. i think. that's true, but there's a subtle difference here is what we have seen in previous cabinet changes, quite often cabinet reshuffles have come with the conservative party because of a crisis or a change party leader, but almost all of the shadow cabinet have had their put up folios for several months in some cases a few years, and keir starmer did set in the challenge of trying to figure out solutions in advance, so that i think there is less of a risk of them jumping into solutions they have not thought through, then perhaps some ministers thrown into jobs in the last few minutes of the last few years. jobs in the last few minutes of the last few veere— jobs in the last few minutes of the last few years. speaking of knee'erk reactions, last few years. speaking of knee'erk reactions. we — last few years. speaking of knee'erk reactions, we heard i last few years. speaking of knee'erk reactions, we heard suella �* last few years. speaking of kneejerk i reactions, we heard suella braverman speaking to reporters outside her home, that obviously is one of the dangers, i've heard senior conservative say we should pose on this, perhaps even start this conference, go to november to try to work out where we should land. you

don't get the sense when you listen to suella braverman and others that the party will give itself that much time. i the party will give itself that much time. ., the party will give itself that much time. ~' ., , ., time. i think there are senior tteole time. i think there are senior people in _ time. i think there are senior people in the _ time. i think there are senior people in the conservative i time. i think there are senior. people in the conservative party trying to make that happen, to ensure they have a bit of time to figure out where they want to go. it is pretty clear when rishi sunak said he was going to resign that there was no time to go yet, there was no particularly expedia 80 procedure to remove him from office and put someone else in. sol procedure to remove him from office and put someone else in. so i wonder if actually the leadership are quite keen, the current leadership anyway, to give it a few months for the party to have a big debate about the future. i party to have a big debate about the future. ., �* , , , , future. i wouldn't be surprised if that does happen. _ future. i wouldn't be surprised if that does happen. and - future. i wouldn't be surprised if that does happen. and there i future. i wouldn't be surprised if that does happen. and there is, | future. i wouldn't be surprised if i that does happen. and there is, it is pretty obvious, but with absolutely underlining, a huge fundamental split in terms of what is the direction they should going after this sizeable, sizable defeat. i think because the problem the conservative party is hard for the

last two or three years as it has had the split for a while, and up unable to reconcile its ways, whether it's borisjohnson and populism, liz truss and her free—market economics or rishi sunak all kind of liberal approach to economics, i think on the whole the conservative party is fundamentally spent, and it is now having a itself, whether it finds its way back into power by moving to the right to win back rights from the reform party and nigel farage, or back to the centre to win votes from labour and the lib dems. no idea how that's going to pan out, but that is going to a bit fat all over the next few months. the going to a bit fat all over the next few months-_ going to a bit fat all over the next few months. . , ., ., ., , few months. the warnings are already there, eric pickles, _ few months. the warnings are already there, eric pickles, former _ there, eric pickles, former chair, same don't assume this is the bottom. ., ., ., same don't assume this is the bottom. . . ., ., ., ., bottom. yeah, and there are a lot of conservatives _ bottom. yeah, and there are a lot of conservatives doing _ bottom. yeah, and there are a lot of conservatives doing a _ bottom. yeah, and there are a lot of conservatives doing a lot _ bottom. yeah, and there are a lot of conservatives doing a lot of- bottom. yeah, and there are a lot of conservatives doing a lot of soul i conservatives doing a lot of soul searching, chatting to mp5, former

mps now, who lost their seats in the general election, and you get different diagnoses from them about what to do next. they are all very unhappy about the situation they are in, and i have very different answers about what to do next. irate answers about what to do next. we are expecting actually to have the declaration of the final seat in the recount in scotland, so that's coming up we think in the next little while, we will keep... you want to get in? it little while, we will keep. .. you want to get in?— little while, we will keep... you want to get in? it will be the lib dems. i think— want to get in? it will be the lib dems. i think the _ want to get in? it will be the lib dems. | think the snp _ want to get in? it will be the lib dems. i think the snp are i want to get in? it will be the lib i dems. i think the snp are already considerate this morning. but we will see. in considerate this morning. but we will see. , ., ., ., ., will see. in terms of scotland and the way labour — will see. in terms of scotland and the way labour has _ will see. in terms of scotland and the way labour has been - will see. in terms of scotland and l the way labour has been propelled into number ten, that's a huge part of it. ~ into number ten, that's a huge part ofit. ,,. into number ten, that's a huge part ofit.~ ,,. ., , ., of it. we saw the new secretary of state for scotland _ of it. we saw the new secretary of state for scotland popping - of it. we saw the new secretary of state for scotland popping in i of it. we saw the new secretary of i state for scotland popping in there, if you have spoken to six weeks ago, he would have been the only labour mp from scotland. now there are more than a0. things have changed fundamentally in scottish politics once again, and it is really remarkable. just less than a0, actually. really remarkable, the

turnaround there. the big question then becomes, does that solve the constitutional question? so then becomes, does that solve the constitutional question?— then becomes, does that solve the constitutional question? so how did i heard ou constitutional question? so how did i heard you shout _ constitutional question? so how did i heard you shout out _ constitutional question? so how did i heard you shout out to _ constitutional question? so how did i heard you shout out to the - i heard you shout out to the scottish secretary, the decline, what that does for independence. absolutely, get the impression from listening tojohn swinney and chatting to nationalists, independence will be on the back burnerfor independence will be on the back burner for the independence will be on the back burnerfor the time independence will be on the back burner for the time being. independence will be on the back burnerfor the time being. it's not gone, but i don't think upbe at the forefront of the next few months. in terms of the huge turnaround, losing so many seats, of course we have the scottish parliamentary elections coming up in a couple of years, so that we interesting as well. let's look at the liberal democrats, so far delighted with their 70 plus seats, but how do you think that is potentially likely to work in parliament?— potentially likely to work in parliament? there will be a significant _ parliament? there will be a significant force, _ parliament? there will be a significant force, 71 - parliament? there will be a significant force, 71 mps i parliament? there will be a significant force, 71 mps isl parliament? there will be a | significant force, 71 mps is a parliament? there will be a i significant force, 71 mps is a lot significant force, 71 mp5 is a lot for a third party, we have not had

that sort of result for a very long time, not sure we've had ever, actually, third party was quite so many mps, so they will be a big force knowing that parliament. ed davey will get two questions every week, prime minister's questions, they will get chairs of committees, things the snp is to have a name with a third party, such a big moment for the lib dems. the fact you had this historic result, i think, really gives them hope that they can continue to build. the thing the lib dems have always been good at is keeping a foothold in areas where they are representatives, and that's what he doing the next few weeks. timer;r representatives, and that's what be doing the next few weeks. they push reall hard doing the next few weeks. they push really hard on — doing the next few weeks. they push really hard on social— doing the next few weeks. they push really hard on social care, _ doing the next few weeks. they push really hard on social care, that i doing the next few weeks. they push really hard on social care, that is i really hard on social care, that is it an area that labour will have to grapple with, because successive governments have put off these crucial decisions, and we haven't really got an indication quite where this government is going to go on that, but presumably the liberal democrats will be holding the few to the fire. ., ..,

democrats will be holding the few to the fire. ., .. , democrats will be holding the few to the fire. ., , ., democrats will be holding the few to the fire. . , ., ., the fire. social care is one of these questions _ the fire. social care is one of these questions that - the fire. social care is one of these questions that wasn'tl the fire. social care is one of- these questions that wasn't really brought up in the way perhaps should have been during the general election campaign, certainly by the parties. i think you're right, i think i'd davey will continue to push, he's talked about unpaid carers well, his own background, but it is interesting to think of who will be in the immediate term the key part of putting pressure on the government, the new labour government, the new labour government, when it comes to individual policies. the conservatives well, but they will spend a lot of time thinking what to do with their own house. the lib dems will put pressure on when it comes to the health service and social care, reform will put a lot of pressure and it comes to immigration and small boats, there will be other pressure from the greens, even though they're quite a small party, their supporters gone up small party, their supporters gone up significantly, so there will be pressure from the left and from the right on the labour party over the next few months. the question the

cabinet will be in there discussing right now is how they get on the front foot to make sure it's not the pressure we are all talking about but then delivering policies. [30 pressure we are all talking about but then delivering policies. do you antici ate but then delivering policies. do you anticipate that _ but then delivering policies. do you anticipate that pressure _ but then delivering policies. do you anticipate that pressure will - but then delivering policies. do you anticipate that pressure will tell- anticipate that pressure will tell when you have a majority of the size they have, can they afford at different times to say, well, we're not going to listen to that? that is noise, we are going to do this? yes. noise, we are going to do this? yes, numerically. — noise, we are going to do this? yes, numerically. tony — noise, we are going to do this? yes, numerically, tony blair _ noise, we are going to do this? use: numerically, tony blair says he wishes he has been more radical at of 1997, when he had the big majority, i wonder if some of that will be going through keir starmer�*s head this morning, he possibly has the best chance he will ever have to make big changes to the way the uk works. that said, i don't think you will want to undermine too much of what it said during the general election campaign. if you remember the fiscal rules labour set itself, not raising taxes, not borrowing from day—to—day spending, bringing

debt down, that makes things tricky. yes, because does it handcuff them? you may have instinct to want to be bolder in his first hundred days, but whether they have the capacity to, the money too, that is absolutely crucial, isn't it? it is, and that's— absolutely crucial, isn't it? it is, and that's what _ absolutely crucial, isn't it? it is, and that's what i _ absolutely crucial, isn't it? it is, and that's what i asked - absolutely crucial, isn't it? it is, and that's what i asked racheli and that's what i asked rachel reeves when she arrived, was this the money there to solve all these things? it's all very well saying you want to get nhs waiting list them, but if you want to solve the strikes you need to spend a lot of money on giving junior doctors more pat’- money on giving junior doctors more pay. there are a lot of big challenges that cost money, and given the way labour has promised not to break these fiscal rules, it has set itself a bit of an economic straitjacket. there will be some room for labour, i think when you tot up the spending pledges versus the revenue in the manifesto, they've let themselves about £2 billion worth of wiggle room, i wonder if they have something up

their sleeve for that money, they may try and find other ways raising tax that we don't know about. my hunchis tax that we don't know about. my hunch is keir starmer will want to keep it steady as she goes for the first while. there will be policies, but i don't think upbe a big change of economic policy.— but i don't think upbe a big change of economic policy. plenty more from ou and of economic policy. plenty more from you and me — of economic policy. plenty more from you and me in — of economic policy. plenty more from you and me in the _ of economic policy. plenty more from you and me in the coming _ of economic policy. plenty more from you and me in the coming hours. i of economic policy. plenty more from you and me in the coming hours. we| you and me in the coming hours. we saw all the cabinet members go in, the cabinet meeting due to start at 11 o'clock, we will get a flavour of that i suspect afterwards. we are due to have a news conference with the new prime minister, but i will leave you for the next little while, hunch of actor lewis in the studio. czech presidentjoe biden says only the lord almighty will take him out.

he spokein spoke in the first major interview. 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 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, lam 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.

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... i shouldn't give 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. in iran, the reformist candidate — massoud pezesh—kiaan — has been elected president, beating his hardline conservative rival saeed jalili by nearly 3 million votes. speaking after the result was announced, he said he would extend his hand to all iranians. the run—off was forced because no

candidate secured a majority in the first round of the election on 28june, which saw a historically low voter turnout of a0%. the election was called because president ebrahim raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in may. in the last couple of minutes the afp news agency is reporting that the indian premier list has congratulated iran's new president. in the european football championship — england face switzerland and the netherlands face turkey today in the last quarter final matches. in one of the first acts in his new role, prime minister keir starmer has shown his support for england, raising the cross of st george above downing street — hours before their knock—out match. france are through to the semi— finals. they beat portugal five— three on penalties. the hosts, germany, were knocked out — beaten two—one by spain after extra time. ur sports correspondent

john watson is in dusseldorf i think the england team could do with all the support they can get, its not been plain sailing for it's not been plain sailing for england so far in this tournament, when you consider they only won one of their three group matches, there were two rather drab draws, 60 seconds from going out in this european championship, trailing slovakia, beforejude bellingham scored to force the game into extra time, before hurricane then clinched it. what can we expect of hingen? gareth southgate may be forced to change in personnel and tactics, these england supporters gathering here this morning will be hopeful that might bring about an improved display, improve performance, because he has touched upon it, there is this expectation recent performances at major tournaments, there is this feeling that england can deliver at long last on the bigger stage of all, but the expectation can sometimes weigh heavy on the shoulders of those

england players. it will be interesting to see how they fare, because as we know the draw arguably is opened up for england taking in switzerland, and we have seen some big nations out, generally the hosts going out, as did portugal. just talk through — going out, as did portugal. just talk through the action from yesterday. plenty of late drama. there was indeed. germany were up against it, they trailed for the most part in the match last night before getting a late equalising goal in normal time to force them out into extra time against spain, but spain scoring in the 119th minute, so heartbreak in the end for germany and their supporters. spain through, have been one of the inform team is so far, they were going to face france after france edged past portugal in what was another really drab affair. it was colder throughout, extra time came, no goals, went to penalties. cristiano

people who might put himself forward, former chancellor for a more moderate part of the party, but here he has said he will not do that, he has said the time has passed. he has run before, i think on two occasions, and obviously ultimately unsuccessfully, but it looks like he is not going to put his name forward for this particular one when it happens. shame his name forward for this particular one when it happens.— one when it happens. acne is 'ust emerging. — one when it happens. acne is 'ust emerging. itfi one when it happens. acne is 'ust emerging. it oi one when it happens. acne is 'ust emerging, it is significant i one when it happens. acne isjust emerging, it is significant news . one when it happens. acne isjustj emerging, it is significant news in terms of what we are likely to see play out in the coming days and weeks. you have more on that in a moment or two, but i mentioned earlier that recount in scotland, the final see that we were waiting for, so let's cross our correspondent. how close are we to actually getting that official result? ,, ., actually getting that official result? . ., , actually getting that official result? , ., ., result? so, the recount is about to tet under result? so, the recount is about to get under way _ result? so, the recount is about to get under way shortly _ result? so, the recount is about to get under way shortly here - result? so, the recount is about to get under way shortly here in i get under way shortly here in dingwall, we are expecting it to be a few hours, perhaps. i'm told we won't be here all day this time. a

peculiar situation played out here yesterday, we were supposed to get the result around 5am on friday, but because returning officers said there was a discrepancy between verified votes on the votes counted, a second recount was done, but then the returning officer called off the counter is rescheduled to today. but the situation here is that the snp candidate has already conceded defeat here, and that means the liberal democrats are likely to take the seat here in inverness, skye and wester ross show for this constituency, and the liberal democrats at the start of the campaign had this is a bit of a long shot, and it's only in the last couple of weeks where they've really started to get hopeful about it, and certainly they are saying they are expecting a win here today, perhaps ljy expecting a win here today, perhaps by about a thousand votes or so, that the remark we will see, the independent candidate is not here today, but the liberal democrat

candidate is very much here, is in full highland dress, isjust candidate is very much here, is in full highland dress, is just turned up full highland dress, is just turned up and is strolling around the count. serie expecting the result in the early afternoon today here in dingwall. iorgfe the early afternoon today here in dintwall. ~ . the early afternoon today here in dintwall. . , . ,, ., i. the early afternoon today here in dintwall. . , ., ., dingwall. we will be back to you a little later. _ dingwall. we will be back to you a little later, and _ dingwall. we will be back to you a little later, and we _ dingwall. we will be back to you a little later, and we will— dingwall. we will be back to you a little later, and we will have i little later, and we will have plenty more from downing street in the next little while. ijust want to return to that raking line that is just coming thatjeremy hunt has ruled himself out standing for the conservative leadership, talking in the last few minutes, and those of the last few minutes, and those of the pictures of the former chancellor with his family as he departed downing street early yesterday, and he was posting on social media how he told his daughters that it wasn't a sad day yesterday, it was the miracle of democracy. that's how he viewed it. a very interesting speech he gave as he won his seat narrowly, but he

still clung on to his seat was so many other of these so—called big names, significant names in the conservatives lost her seat, and that of course also influencing who is left and he might stand to be the leader of the conservative party, butjeremy hunt making it clear he has of course stood before, but this time around he will not, and that is interesting given the wing of the party, the centrist wing jeremy hunt represents within the conservatives as that debate really gets under way as that debate really gets under way as to the direction of the conservative party going forward. that needs just coming in, we will have more with helen here in a moment or two. with all the developments here at downing street in the next little while, we have had some to sun, rain, more rain here in downing street, so let's see how it will go to the rest of the

day. for the rest of the day we had this area of low pressure, moving its way out, things should improve slightly as we see the area of low pressure move away, it will stay very showery, for many of us rather this afternoon. showers could be heavy, perhaps a little summary as well, in between the showers it will be some sunny spells, increasingly sunny across parts of wales through central and southern areas of england as we head into the later stages of the afternoon. maximum temperature 16, 17 degrees for many, to a 30 degrees in the north—east of scotland, orfeel cool to a 30 degrees in the north—east of scotland, or feel cool for the time of year. wimbledon today there is a chance of some showers here, most are again into sunday, temperatures 17 or 18 celsius, and at silverstone
