4:30 pm
asylum seekers to rwanda. joe biden says only the lord almighty could convince him to end his bid for re—election. in his first major televised interview since his debate with donald trump last week, the us president insists he's going nowhere. england fans at the euros are partying and daring to dream. there are reports of up to 40,000 england fans in dusseldorf. it's half an hour until kick—off against switzerland — the confident swiss fans are also out in force. iranians react to the election of a relatively moderate member of the parliament, masoud pezeshkian, as president. the reformist candidate's win brings hope to some women and younger voters. he beat a hardline rival in a run—off vote. hello and welcome to downing street, the sun hello and welcome to downing street, the sun has hello and welcome to downing street, the sun has come hello and welcome to downing street, the sun has come out hello and welcome to downing street, the sun has come out at hello and welcome to downing street, the sun has come out at last. hello and welcome to downing street,
4:31 pm
the sun has come out at last. it hello and welcome to downing street, the sun has come out at last. it has been a pretty rainy day, an unusual saturday to say the least because normally one would not say press conferences, cabinet meetings happening on the weekend. it might be the weekend, but sir keir starmer�*s first full day in office has been all business. he hosted his first meeting of his newly—appointed cabinet. before we talk about what he did, let's talk about the former foreign secretary, david lanny, who is embarking on his first foreign trip a day after being appointed by sir keir starmer —— david lammy. he will be travelling to meet his counterpart in berlin this evening and then moving on to poland in switzerland tomorrow. their policies to close relations with european allies. he said he will discuss cooperation on nato and they were in ukraine ahead of a big nato summit in washington where sir keir starmer will be going. mr lambie is a very much trying to set the tone for the
4:32 pm
government's foreign policy agenda —— lammy. forwhat mr starmer government's foreign policy agenda —— lammy. for what mr starmer has been pushing for today, that his foreign secretary, himself and all his cabinet members are really taking the bull by the horns, working hard and starting their work very quickly. a little earlier, political editor chris mason brought us up to speed on all of today's events from downing street. firstly, i thought it was striking that they chose to do the news conference in the state dining room of 10 downing street, rather than in the specific news conference room in number 9 downing street that was built by the previous government. let's see if that room gets used. it is associated with the whole rouse around partygate, etc, etc. so a different location. these things don't happen by accident.
4:33 pm
i thought the prime minister seemed relaxed, seemed comfortable in his own skin and comfortable in, if you like, the skin of government. and then clearly, just to state the obvious, clearly a prime minister determined to outwardly demonstrate that he's getting on with it straightaway. cabinet meetings don't happen very often on a saturday. it's a good number of years since there's been a cabinet meeting on a saturday. news conferences for folk like me to go along and ask prime minister's questions in downing street don't happen on a saturday very often either so, again, clearly a desire to show a determination to get on with things because, you know, if you campaign on a slogan of change, as he did, clearly it is pretty obvious that pretty quickly people are going to start asking you questions about quite how quickly can you deliver that change. and so they're wanting to demonstrate that sense of pace — the cabinet meeting, the hurtle around the uk that the prime minister
4:34 pm
is going to do in the coming days to go to scotland, england, wales and northern ireland. he's heading to america, to washington, to the nato defence summit on tuesday, as well as meeting, as you heard there, the metro mayors from around england. so giving that sense of pace of if not delivery, then certainly attempting to show a pathway towards that hoped—for delivery from their perspective, is clearly front and centre in their minds, making the most of any honeymoon if they get one early on. and, chris, he was pressed, wasn't he, about prisons? that was one of the questions we saw come up a couple of times after his appointment of the ceo of timpsons, james timpson. what did he say about that? because he was pressed a couple of times, wasn't he, about whether or not he agreed with some comments made by mr timpson in the past? yeah.
4:35 pm
so the soon—to—be lord timpson working as a prisons minister, he is of the timpsons chain, no known for their key cutting as well as cobbling amongst amongst other things. as well as cobbling amongst other things. now, the soon—to—be lord timpson has been on a podcast, a channel 4 podcast recently talking about his instincts around rehabilitation in which he has done a lot of work, and also about the proportion of those who are currently in prison who ought to be suggesting that there are significant numbers of prisoners, prisoners who perhaps ought not to have been jailed. now, the prime minister was asked specifically about this, didn't seek to distance himself from the instincts of his new minister, leant on his own experiences as a lawyer sitting at the back of courtrooms and seeing the kind of cycle of people who might pass through courtrooms, end up in prison then pass through courtrooms again and end up going back into prison. so he articulated, the prime minister, a liberal instinct on all of this without explicitly endorsing the words of his minister.
4:36 pm
but he didn't seek to distance himself from them either. separately to that is an issue that confronts the government right now, which is that, frankly, there aren't enough prison places for the number of people who are going through the criminaljustice system. and we saw the last government have to introduce measures which meant that prisoners were let out earlier than their sentence would have suggested, and the prime minister has acknowledged — in fact, he acknowledged to me just a couple of days ago before he was prime minister, and he repeated it again today, that the reality of that crunch point, that lack of prison places for the number of prisoners who are heading towards prison is going to mean that in the short term at least, the new government is also going to be letting prisoners out earlier than they would have otherwise been released. chris mason there. we finally got to him, didn't we? let's talk a little bit about the nhs because the new health secretary, wes streeting, has
4:37 pm
described the nhs has broken. we have had a glimpse of what the government is starting to talk about in terms of where it wants the nhs to go and what planet has for the nhs. 0ur health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, has updated us on the government has no plans for the health service.— health service. have a listen. we have had those _ health service. have a listen. we have had those first _ health service. have a listen. we have had those first glimpses - health service. have a listen. we have had those first glimpses of| have had those first glimpses of some of the detail of their policy now and how they are going to achieve it. the prime minister today was talking about the extra 40,000 operations and scans a week in the nhs that they want to start doing by the end of the year. of course, that is to break into the backlog, the huge weights there are at historic level. 7.57 million treatments being waited for in the nhs at the moment. mr starmer said st thomas's hospital in london, which is right across
4:38 pm
from parliament, and also a trust in leeds had worked very well themselves to reduce their backlog on weights, and what he is asking them to do is go around the country and teach other trusts how to get there waits down and how they have done it. they have done it working in the evenings and even cans. that is very much part of the plan. the nhs anyway has a kind of budding system where trust that are feeling are helped by trusts that are successful, so in that way, learning within the nhs is not new, but if we are to understand from the policy that the prime minister has now touched on today, this looks like a massive effort across the country where at least two trusts will be going around the whole of england
4:39 pm
talking about other hospital trusts about how to reduce the waits in their service. the about how to reduce the waits in their service.— about how to reduce the waits in their service. ., ,, . ., , their service. the health secretary, wes streeting, _ their service. the health secretary, wes streeting, has _ their service. the health secretary, wes streeting, has said _ their service. the health secretary, wes streeting, has said himself- their service. the health secretary, | wes streeting, has said himself that the nhs is broken. as he looks ahead to trying to sort out at the age and strike that has been such a turn in the side of the conservative party. what is the feeling there amongst those within the health service about this government's approach from what we have learned so far? . we know the new government has already been talking to thejunior doctors union, the british medical association, about when they will get into negotiations with them. we understand it will be this week. it is something that they want to crack, something they want to find a solution for thejunior crack, something they want to find a solution for the junior doctors to prevent a strike. because if you're talking about getting strikes down, the last thing you want is more of a
4:40 pm
large proportion of yourjunior doctors working out. thatjust increases the number of patients are waiting, so they will try to tackle that, but as you are saying, the language is pretty stark, talking about the nhs being broken. today, the prime minister acknowledging that kind of language was very hard for people working extremely hard in the health service to hear, but said we need to be honest. and to the health secretary, wes streeting, has said he wants to see culture change within the nhs, there has to be some honesty about just how within the nhs, there has to be some honesty aboutjust how bad things are, he is using the word it is broken. �* , ., are, he is using the word it is broken. �* ., ., , broken. but sophie, what does he mean by broken? _ broken. but sophie, what does he mean by broken? it _ broken. but sophie, what does he mean by broken? it is _ broken. but sophie, what does he mean by broken? it is even - broken. but sophie, what does he mean by broken? it is even a - broken. but sophie, what does he| mean by broken? it is even a good cuestion. mean by broken? it is even a good question. what _ mean by broken? it is even a good question. what does _ mean by broken? it is even a good question. what does broken - mean by broken? it is even a good l question. what does broken mean? because millions of patients are treated every week within the nhs. so it is clear that a significant part of the nhs is functioning, but
4:41 pm
what he is talking about this timely care that is of good quality and safe. and we know from the long waits that people are having, there were 7 million plus her on that waiting list, that many of those waits can be extremely dangerous, particularly around cancer, and also when you think about ambulance waits, also mental health waits, it is all of that part of the system thatis is all of that part of the system that is not able to provide care in a timely manner putting patients at risk. . . , a timely manner putting patients at risk. . ., , , a timely manner putting patients at risk. . .,, , . risk. that was sophie hutchinson, health correspondent _ risk. that was sophie hutchinson, health correspondent talking - risk. that was sophie hutchinson, | health correspondent talking about the nhs. we have been talking a lot about labour, the conservatives, but what about some of the other parties? well, the leader of reform uk, nigel farage has spoken to journalists while visiting if it were a club in essex. he gave his thoughts on the conservative party and whether a new leader could help their prospects. they put us through four years of a psychodrama where
4:42 pm
the conservatives fight each other and here we are just a few hours after the election and already they are taking chunks out of each other. some people think nigel farage is a really good bloke, others think he is the devil, they have never really decided where they stood on brexit. honestly, i don't think it matters who the pickers leader this party is split down the middle. they quality broadchurch, well it is a broad church with no common shared religion. —— they call it a broad church. religion. -- they call it a broad church. . . , ., ., church. that was nigel farage talkinu church. that was nigel farage talkin: to church. that was nigel farage talking to journalists - church. that was nigel farage talking to journalists a - church. that was nigel farage talking to journalists a little . talking to journalists a little earlier. there has been more international reaction coming in to the labour win. a russia editor steve rosenberg approached the sergei lavrov, the russian foreign ministerfor a response. the response to little cryptic. yes, to me. do you think anything will change in russian — uk relations? will change in russian - uk relations?— will change in russian - uk relations? , ., ., ., relations? diplomacy is not an art of guessing- _ relations? diplomacy is not an art of guessing. what _ relations? diplomacy is not an art of guessing. what is _ relations? diplomacy is not an art

4:44 pm
it's such an exciting morning. and hasn't it been a great campaign to be part of? so what do voters in dyce make of their new mp? very excited. did you vote green? idid indeed. i voted labour, but i do wish i'd voted green. 0h, why�*s that? i think it's great that they've got in here. i really do think it's a good idea. even though you voted labour? yeah. well, you voted green. yes. what made you do that? because, um, ithink we need around this area. as votes were counted in the new waveney valley seat, early talk was that it could be tight, but a glance at the green piles rising above the blue ones gave a hint of what was to come. adrian philip ramsey, . the green party 20,467. you're not going to be a sort of green flash in the pan — you really think you'll build on this? it's 20 years since we won our first green councillors in suffolk and norfolk. we've built on that year on year since then, east anglia is leading the way.
4:45 pm
so it's about consistent growth that the green party has got. even as a teenage schoolboy, adrian ramsay bared his political teeth — challenging a former home secretary. a brilliant, pragmatic new form of politics to fit the global society of the 21st century for everyone's benefit. he went on to become a norwich city green councillor at just 21, before tilting for parliament twice in 2005 and 2010. today, third time lucky for the co—leader of the green party. one reason why the greens did so well is that they have dozens of local councillors and they control mid suffolk council, and that in turn means that they can call on an army of volunteers to knock on doors and get out the vote. a fact not lost on the defeated conservative candidate. we saw the huge amount of resources the greens were pouring into the seat. sometimes my five or six volunteers against 100 150 of them, huge amount of natural resource poured in. frankly, we couldn't compete on the doorstep. but watching mr ramsay
4:46 pm
on walkabout today, it appears many here did want a change from blue to green. the question is, will this be a political interregnum or will this green king enjoy a long reign? alex dunlop, bbc news. it is, of course are an important day for another reason today, and thatis, day for another reason today, and that is, you can see behind you, the bunting laid out by some of the downing street people earlier on today. it is of course the england match at 5pm. we all know the prime minister is a big football fan, so i'm pretty sure, i can't say for sure, but i'm pretty sure he will be watching when england take on switzerland in that quarterfinal. samantha, i think you have a little more on that. we have, and i'm sure we will find out later if you have been watching. less than 50 minutes to go until england take on switzerland in the quarterfinals. beside dramatic ——
4:47 pm
less than 15 minutes. they now face an unbeaten swepson team who knocked at the defending champions italy. this will be gareth southgate's 100 this will be gareth southgate's100 gaming charge —— unbeaten switzerland. joe is at a fun zone in london. lots of males being bitten orjust be a strong? a bit london. lots of males being bitten orjust be a strong?— orjust be a strong? a bit of both. this is brixton _ orjust be a strong? a bit of both. this is brixton in _ orjust be a strong? a bit of both. this is brixton in south _ orjust be a strong? a bit of both. this is brixton in south london, l this is brixton in south london, they are getting very excited. you can see hundreds of people have turned up. there was a moment when they opened the game is finally and it went from completely empty to completely fill any matter of seconds. people here are, as they have been at a lot of england games, a bit of trepidation has come a bit worried this might be another fairly dull performance. at the same time, they still have the faith that england fans seem to maintain. you do have that one change coming in
4:48 pm
for a mate who was suspended. the big thing is the shift, change information, it matches up with a space. i think people here think thatis space. i think people here think that is a good thing. mainly to see some change. and some england fans have been here for all the game so far and they felt something needs to change. let's see if that is a change. let's see if that is a change. let's see if that is a change. let's stick to a couple of fans here. hey, how are you doing? what are your feelings about the game _ what are your feelings about the game today? the line—up? if it is true _ game today? the line—up? if it is true we _ game today? the line—up? if it is true we are — game today? the line—up? if it is true we are having the wind backs, and were _ true we are having the wind backs, and were excited. the last few games and were excited. the last few games a bit dutt, _ and were excited. the last few games a bit dull, dour, site passing, we need _ a bit dull, dour, site passing, we need some — a bit dull, dour, site passing, we need some pace, we need some attack. let's go _ need some pace, we need some attack. let's go for— need some pace, we need some attack. let's go for it _ need some pace, we need some attack. let's go for it— let's go for it. bailing him out for the bit more _ let's go for it. bailing him out for the bit more central, _ let's go for it. bailing him out for the bit more central, hopefully i let's go for it. bailing him out for| the bit more central, hopefully we can get— the bit more central, hopefully we can get the — the bit more central, hopefully we can get the best _ the bit more central, hopefully we can get the best out _ the bit more central, hopefully we can get the best out of _ the bit more central, hopefully we can get the best out of them. - the bit more central, hopefully we can get the best out of them. the| can get the best out of them. the middle _ can get the best out of them. the middle. england _ can get the best out of them. the middle. england will— can get the best out of them. the middle. england will smash- can get the best out of them. the middle. england will smash it. . middle. england will smash it. generally. _ middle. england will smash it. generally, the _ middle. england will smash it. generally, the atmosphere - middle. england will smash it. i generally, the atmosphere here?

4:50 pm
at wimbledon gave us the latest. yeah, it's hugely disappointing, isn't it, samantha? there was a real buzz and excitement here, i think it's fair to say, even walking in this morning forjust the idea of andy murray and emma raducanu, the two active british players that are grand slam champions, playing together for what would potentially then be his final match here at wimbledon. and it isn't going to happen for the reasons that you just said. emma raducanu citing that stiffness in her right wrist, her playing hand. she beat the ninth seed, maria sakkari, yesterday, and emma raducanu in a statement saying that she's decided to make the very tough decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles, she's disappointed, she was looking forward to playing with andy, but she's got to take care. and a really difficult decision, i'm sure, for raducanu because she's got a wonderful opportunity here to to go all the way. quite frankly, samantha, i didn't think i'd say that about raducanu coming into these championships. we shouldn't forget that last year she had surgeries on her wrist and ankle that forced her to miss
4:51 pm
wimbledon. she's got to be really careful. but in the last few weeks she's put herself into a fantastic position to have a deep run here, and she's looked brilliant across her opening three matches. and i don't know what the conversation was with andy, but i know enough of andy murray to think that he would have supported her in that moment for her to focus on the singles, as disappointed as he will be to not get to play with her. but we did see, of course, on thursday night what was a very emotional scene on centre court where andy and his brotherjamie played in the men's doubles, and there was much more of a formal farewell to andy murray, if you like. they played a video montage. the former bbc sport presenter sue barker led a tribute. we had martina navratilova there, john mcenroe, tim henman, novak djokovic all paying a tribute to andy murray. that felt like the formal goodbye, but we were looking forward to at least one more chance to see andy murray. this match was scheduled for court 1, samantha, with emma raducanu, and i also have a feeling the fact that it was scheduled last we were expecting it to be an evening match may not have helped
4:52 pm
emma either, considering that she wants to focus on the singles. i think the timing of that match probably played into her decision as well, but, yes, reflective of the rain that keeps coming and going here at wimbledon today — bit of disappointment for the british fans that are here that were looking forward to seeing murray and raducanu. that will not happen and andy murray has then, we believe, now played for the final time at these championships. there has been a significant increase in the number of people asking for help after the energy suppliers are past their bills on to debt collection agencies. 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
4:53 pm
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 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 0fgem 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
4:54 pm
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 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. thousands of people have returned to their homes in northern california after wildfires swept through the area, burning more than 800 acres of land and
4:55 pm
destroying 74 structures. 0fficials warn that people should brace themselves for the fire season as excessive heat and dry weather feeds the wildfires. 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 simultaneously both the number one and number two slots on the singles chart for three consecutive weeks. her track please please please remained in the top spot, with her previous single espresso holding on at number two. stay with us here on bbc news. let's get update the weather. hello there. we've seen a developing area of low pressure moving across england and wales in the last 24 hours. in fact, one or two spots of south—east england have been very wet indeed. the rest of the weekend promises to be a little bit brighter. we should see sunny spells, but further scattered showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. now, this is the developing area of low pressure i was talking about, moving off into the north sea gradually as we move through the course of the afternoon, but will leave fairly strong
4:56 pm
westerly winds behind it with further showers. i think later in the day we should see the heaviest of the rain move offshore and then we'll see sunshine and showers for many areas, probably turning a bit drier for parts of north—west england, the midlands and wales through the afternoon. but if you catch a shower, it could be quite heavy, particularly across more southern areas. and the winds a feature. these are mean wind speeds — gusts will be stronger, but it's going to be blustery across southern and eastern areas. lighter winds further north and west. pretty disappointing temperatures for this time injuly, but if you avoid the showers and getting some shelter from the wind in the sunshine, it will feel quite pleasant. so the rain will clear to showers later today for wimbledon. some of them could be heavy, and the same again on sunday — similar sorts of values, sunshine and showers, the odd thundery downpour moving through. now, the showers begin to ease for many central and eastern areas this evening and overnight, but further showers will start to push into southern and western areas during the early hours. temperatures under clear skies in single digits. 0therwise, further south,
4:57 pm
where we have more of a breeze and the showers, then at ten to 12 celsius. sunday, we start off with more sunshine around than what we had this morning, certainly across southern and eastern areas, but the showers will get going into the afternoon, some of them heavy and thundery in places. the winds a little bit lighter i think, on sunday, so if you're out of the showers in the sunshine, it should feel a little bit better — 18, maybe 19 celsius. for most though, it's the mid to high teens. monday at this stage looks pretty decent. we're in between weather systems. tuesday, wednesday we see another area of low pressure move across the country to bring wet and windy weather. but look at this — an area of high pressure starts to topple in from the west later in the week, and that could bring some very welcome, drier and sunnier weather to the end of the week and into the following weekend. it could last for a while, but the run up to then looks unsettled thanks to further areas of low pressure with fairly disappointing temperatures too.
