there is, taking place right now as we speak. we are here covering the politics for those of you interested. today, the labour party have set out their stall. they want to underline the fact that the work begins now. with me now is david lammy, the new foreign secretary. with me here in downing street is our political correspondent helen catt. we've had some information about what his movements are and keir starmer has on working hard off the bat. no rest, is there? straight off on his way to berlin at some point today to meet his german counterpart and tomorrow he is going to poland and tomorrow he is going to poland and sweden and the idea behind this is the triple set the tone for the government's foreign policy agenda and importance of our relationship with foreign allies. as we said

earlier, this is all about setting the tone for the government, so we've got david lammy out setting out the tone on foreign policy this weekend, earlierwe out the tone on foreign policy this weekend, earlier we had keir starmer outlining his domestic vision in his press conference, setting the tone for how he will one damn i can run this —— how he will run this country. he starting his tour across scotland, wales and northern ireland and back. so he is setting the tone of what the government will do and making it absolutely plain this is a government that is serious about getting on with things and trying to start the work now. but getting on with things and trying to start the work now.— getting on with things and trying to start the work now. but even having a ress start the work now. but even having a press conference _ start the work now. but even having a press conference on _ start the work now. but even having a press conference on saturday, - a press conference on saturday, having a press conference really is stepping away from the way the previous government did things. certainly, the idea behind a press conference is the idea they want this government is to be accountable. 0f this government is to be accountable. of course all governments tend to start like that,

the attention is there and then the longer sometimes that becomes less so over time but the intent is this will be a government that is accountable and that's why you saw keir starmer on his first full day in office taking questions from journalists, setting up things like he met with the standards commissioner, heatley is very keen and we had talk about wanting to turn this into a government of service as he put it, the service of people and he's to set the standards is a key thing he wants to get across, he wants to move power and decision—making out to regents so this is why you have this tour and he was the uk as a whole to work together. it is sending one of those signals whilst at the same time getting on with thatjob. the cabinet meetings don't tend to happen on saturday morning, this is rare so the whole day is designed to show government are really getting

going. and there will be impatience, labour has been in opposition for 14 years where they have not had the opportunity to put they ideas into practice and now they have so most governments will be pretty keen to get on with it and see what they can do to start to change things. what do to start to change things. what have we learned _ do to start to change things. what have we learned so _ do to start to change things. what have we learned so far? _ do to start to change things. what have we learned so far? we talked about prisons, nhs, the economy. what other elements of the plan we found out about? one of the criticisms before the election was we weren't sure exactly what labour were planning to do in the first few days and weeks of their leadership. we found out a little more but perhaps not all that much. we know they are focusing on these first steps he has talked about so those are things like setting up green investment, setting up a border command to try to stop the channel crossings so we haven't had about that this weekend but we heard a bit about the nhs, one of the first bits

of communication out of the government being the words from the health secretary wes streeting to his department, all ministers talking to their departments but wes streeting as health secretary said the nhs is broken, that is our policy and we are now out to fix it. those sorts of things are what we are getting more and more. banky for that. we are expecting the results from the last undeclared seat of the election. a recount has been taking place in inverness, skye and west ross—shire after an initial count on thursday night and a recount on friday. let's cross live to our scotland political correspondent, joining me now is the former leader of the liberal democrats, sir vince cable. vince cable, good to talk to you. i thought we would cross live and get that result from inverness but we are not going to do that right now.

that's coming hopefully soon. we can talk to you and about the lib dems and the incredible results for them. what do they do with this now with all the seats? it what do they do with this now with all the seats?— all the seats? it was a brilliant result and _ all the seats? it was a brilliant result and inverness, - all the seats? it was a brilliant result and inverness, which i l all the seats? it was a brilliant - result and inverness, which i think we have one actually, we are up to 72. it was the product of a very disciplined campaign and we knew the government is very unpopular with the first past the post system we concentrated our resources on seats we could win and that proved very effective so we had a good national campaign. ithink effective so we had a good national campaign. i think ed davey�*s mix of humour and seriousness went down well and we had well—prepared candidates, some of who have been campaigning for years. a major responsibility to because i suspect the tory party will not be able to function effectively for quite a

while so there will be a simple war on the right between them and people in their party on reform uk and we'll be left with the main responsibility for providing a constructive, effective opposition in parliament. find constructive, effective opposition in parliament.— constructive, effective opposition in parliament. �* ., , in parliament. and where do you see lib dems opposing — in parliament. and where do you see lib dems opposing the _ in parliament. and where do you see lib dems opposing the government. in parliament. and where do you see i lib dems opposing the government on? what kind of policies? i lib dems opposing the government on? what kind of policies?— what kind of policies? i think there's quite _ what kind of policies? i think there's quite a _ what kind of policies? i think there's quite a lot _ what kind of policies? i think there's quite a lot we - what kind of policies? i think there's quite a lot we would l what kind of policies? i think - there's quite a lot we would agree with them on and our initial approach will be to wish the government well, there is clearly an appetite for change and we share many of the same sources of analysis about the problems. but what will emerge over time is that the government has been very noncommittal about the crucial issue of how we realign ourselves more closely to the eu, the brexit has done terrible damage to business confidence and investment and if we want growth, that must be dealt with and lib dems are very clear historically based commitment and a

road of rebuilding relations. that is one area and another is constitutional reform. these are things we've done well under the first past the post system this time, the whole system grossly unfair. ithink time, the whole system grossly unfair. i think we have eight mps unfair. i think we have eight mp5 from the greens and reform and between them they got over 20% of the vote. this is clearly not a system that works for many strands of public opinion. and then we want to focus on areas like government funding and reform, many people coming to local government knowing councils are bankrupt, therefore they can't perform what they should be doing around social care, hospital discharge, planning because they haven't got the money to have planning offices so this labour revolution in planning won't happen unless these underlying problems are tackled. tail: unless these underlying problems are tackled. . ~ ., ., , .,

anything happens i will let you know. we've had about 16 minutes so far, england looking much better. switzerland are definitely the sternest test so far especially being a good side, well—organised and disciplined. england have changed their formation with two wing backs. it does seem to be working. the mood here is still buoyant, good even when we were tired but today the sun is out, beers are flowing and everyone is having a good time. in terms of other news, still 0—0. england had a few chances but england is looking much better than before. jae. few chances but england is looking much better than before. joe, tricky to look at the _ much better than before. joe, tricky to look at the camera _ much better than before. joe, tricky to look at the camera and _ much better than before. joe, tricky to look at the camera and the - much better than before. joe, tricky to look at the camera and the game j to look at the camera and the game so don't worry, you don't need to look at the camera. you can keep an eye on the game. what was the mood light before kick—off? it has been a

november's presidential election, despite further calls from fellow democrats for him to withdraw. in his first tv interview since his debate with mr trump, mr biden dismissed the idea that he should take a cognitive test. here's peter bowes. mr president, do you want to talk about— mr president, do you want to talk about your— mr president, do you want to talk about your message _ mr president, do you want to talk about your message in _ mr president, do you want to talkl about your message in wisconsin? can you _ about your message in wisconsin? can you still— about your message in wisconsin? can you still beat _ about your message in wisconsin? can you still beat trump? - can you still beat trump? "yes," replied _ can you still beat trump? "yes," replied the - can you still beat trump? . "yes," replied the president as he boarded air force one to rally 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's 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's joe going to say it again. "what'sjoe going to do? is he going to stay in the race?" crowd: , crowd: yes! is crowd: yes! is he - crowd: yes! is he going i crowd: yes! j is he going to crowd: yes! - is he going to drop crowd: yes! _ is he going to drop out? what's he going to do?" well, here's my answer — i am running and going to win again. cheering. 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, mr biden sat down for an exclusive interview with abc news' george stephanopoulos, who pressed the president on what had gone wrong during the debate, why he'd been so exhausted. because i was sick, i was feeling terrible. matter of fact, the docs with me, i asked if they did a covid test because we were trying to figure out what was wrong. they did a test to see whether or not i had some infection, you know, a virus. i didn't, ijust had a really bad cold. and did you ever watch the _ and did you ever watch the debate afterwards? i the debate afterwards? ldon't _ the debate afterwards? i don't think i did, no. the president was asked whether he'd take a cognitive test and release the results to the american people. he said it wasn't necessary. i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have that test, everything i do. you know, not only am i campaigning, but i'm running the world. and that's not...

it sounds like hyperbole, but we are the central nation in the world. madeleine albright was right. and every single day — for example, today, before i came out here, i'm on the phone with the prime minister of... i know i shouldn't get into detail, but with netanyahu, i'm on the phone with the new prime minister of england. mr biden cast doubt on the opinion polls that suggest he's trailing behind donald trump. he said he didn't think anyone was more qualified or better than him to win the race. but this interview is unlikely to silence the president's democratic critics, who want him to call it a day. peter bowes, bbc news. talks on reaching a dealfor a ceasefire and the release of hostages in gaza have resumed, although israel says that gaps remain between its position and that of hamas. an israeli delegation led by the head of the israeli spy agency, mossad, held discussions yesterday in qatar, which has been one of the main mediators. it comes after hamas presented its response to the latest ceasefire proposal. 0ur middle east

correspondent sebastian usher has the latest . after months of false starts and dashed hopes in negotiations to try to secure a ceasefire in gaza and the release of all the remaining hostages there, dead or alive, there does seem to be a genuine new momentum behind the process. that is partly due to the three—phase proposal that was announced by president biden several weeks ago. that essentially tried to finesse what has been the key obstacle, which is on one side, hamas has demanded as a precondition that there must be a permanent ceasefire in place at the very start, and from the israeli government that israel must have the right to continue fighting in gaza, if necessary, after any ceasefire. now, this deal that was announced, this proposal by president biden, which he said was from israel originally, would begin with a six—week ceasefire in which talks on a permanent ceasefire would take place.

now, hamas, we don't know this for sure because there hasn't been any official confirmation of this, but what we are hearing is that hamas seems to have accepted that, that it will go into a six—week ceasefire, with the proviso that talks will continue during that time on a permanent ceasefire, which in the second phase could lead to that permanent ceasefire and the release of all the israeli soldiers held in gaza. that would be a serious breakthrough. in iran, the reformist candidate — masoud pezeshkian — has been elected president, beating his hardline conservative rival saeed jalili by nearly three 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 28th june, in the first round of the election on 28thjune, which saw a historically low voter turnout of 40%. the election was called after president ebrahim raisi

was killed in a helicopter crash in may. siavash ardalan from bbc persian put the election win into an international context. it's a huge political upset for iran, having another moderate president back in office now three years after you've had a very conservative president who died in that helicopter crash, which prompted this election. the significance of it internationally is the fact that he wants to strike a fresh nuclear deal with the west to have those sanctions removed. that's one of his campaign promises, unlike the hard—line candidate who said that he doesn't want to have anything to do with the west, he doesn't want any more engagements. if anything, he wants further concessions from the west, whereas masoud pezeshkian said, "look, these sanctions have devastated our economy. without having these sanctions removed, we cannot get back on track". and he promised to do everything he can through consensus, which presumably means convincing the supreme leader to get back on board in another effort to strike a deal.

back to the euro is now. england and switzerland are playing for a spot in the semifinals. let's show the scene live in bristol in a fan zone where england fans are hoping for a win. in so far have gone up to the tournament billing as one of their favourites. switzerland have also impressed with their displays and let's see the scene in london. there they are, a sense of anticipation there. fans are waiting to explode into some kind ofjoy, hoping if there is any goal scored by england as the winner of the game or whoever tramps against turkey versus netherlands. there's been signs of encouragement for england but it has been a pretty cagey affair so far

and this is the scene in geneva. switzerland have impressed with their displays in the tournament so far but have never before reached a semifinal in the euros. the score is 0-0 at semifinal in the euros. the score is 0—0 at the moment. some signs of encouragement for england but nothing to shout about so far or jump up nothing to shout about so far or jump up at down about. neither keepers have anything to do and switzerland have come out strong. we will keep an eye on that for you and you can keep up to date on the bbc website. there is a continuous live update there. stay with us here on bbc news. 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 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. otherwise, further south, 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.

conservative party was completely wiped out — losing the 12 seats they had held. plaid cymru gained two seats — with their leader rhun ap iorwerth hailing the results as 'terrific�* in his first election as leader. let's get a sense of the sentiment in wales. joining me is deborah wilcox, baroness wilcox of newport delyth jewell, south wales east senedd member and lauren mcevatt, former special adviser to the wales office. very good to have you all here, as the rain starts to fall here at downing street. baroness wilcox, what difference do you hope it will make having a labour government here in london and in cardiff? the make having a labour government here in london and in cardiff?— in london and in cardiff? the first thin is in london and in cardiff? the first thing is going _ in london and in cardiff? the first thing is going to _ in london and in cardiff? the first thing is going to be _ in london and in cardiff? the first thing is going to be a _ in london and in cardiff? the first thing is going to be a new- thing is going to be a new relationship because we will have a labour government at both ends of

the mfor. it was cameronjones the former first minister who had three mums of gordon brown as labour prime minister, then the next nine years of the coalition and the tory government. that sense of engagement and respect is incredibly important, and respect is incredibly important, and that is what we will have. what and that is what we will have. what will be the first _ and that is what we will have. what will be the first message _ and that is what we will have. what will be the first message to keir starmer, because he will travel to scotland, northern ireland and wales and back to england before heading to the us for the nato summit. very much make in the relationship a priority. what would the first message be?— priority. what would the first message be? priority. what would the first messaue be? . , ~ ., message be? clearly, we know we need the british economy _ message be? clearly, we know we need the british economy growing, _ message be? clearly, we know we need the british economy growing, but - message be? clearly, we know we need the british economy growing, but in - the british economy growing, but in terms of wales we need to unlock the green potential and on that point, steel is crucial. the business secretary has already had meetings when we were in opposition, and we

need johnny down here to tata with a meeting with the company. they did it differently in holland, the government had opportunity to work with tata to make sure they invested in a different way. we have £2.5 billion ready to go, but that influence needs to be dissipated. if you look at how we solved the doctor's strike in wales and we came to an agreement there, keir starmer and wes streeting have called for early doors with the doctors, but we do things differently here. that is why we want to make sure to put as much confidence and pressure as we can to deal with tata steel. we don't want to be a client economy, we want to be a producing economy. the thousands ofjobs that depend on it must be an early priority for us in welsh labour and in uk labour. l in welsh labour and in uk labour. i hope there's time to come back on questions on the health care system

classroom, working under labour governments and tory governments. i can tell you the difference when it comes to putting resources into public service. that is what we need to get back. we have to change and show we are about doing the work we need to do. that is serving the public and not serving ourselves. i'm afraid for iii years, that is what the public have seen. no wonder there is the apathy. we need to change things, give people hope, we need to give people trust back in politics. it is up to us to do it now. thank you all forjoining us. it is good to hear your views. we just mentioned the conservative�*s losses in wales — across the uk the party lost a huge number of seats , 251 of them. some of them had been held by high profile names. former prime minister liz truss saw her majority of 26,000 overturned in south west norfolk. defence secretary grant shapps — who held government posts for much of the tories'

iii 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 of more than 14,000. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy has been to portsmouth, the scene of another significant political upset. in portsmouth north... democracy is never wrong. ..it�*s all gone south for penny mordaunt. once viewed by some as a potential tory party leader, she lost her seat to labour. you can speak all you like of security and freedom, but you can't have either if you are afraid. penny mordaunt�*s defeat is an experience seen in many other places. so a day after the results, what do voters now think? ijust wanted a change. at the pukka pooch pet parlour, manager nikki lashley hadn't yet heard about the labour victory when we popped in.

labour won by a landslide. brilliant, brilliant. yeah, i voted for labour. nikki believes labour can now lead the country to a better future. i'm just an averagejoe working and the cost of living crisis is really having its toll on everyone around me, including myself, and i want things to be changed so that it would benefit notjust myself but everyone around me. over at the bingo hall, after the pick and mix of the voting process, customers like sharon and eunice had very different views on the result. i voted conservative, and i'm still happy that i did vote conservative. well, i voted for farage — not because i like him, but it was a protest vote. yeah. you kept the faith with the conservatives. idid, yeah. and i'm gutted that they're not in.

but what about the future under a labour government? to be honest, you've got to give them a chance. what else can you do? i hope they do better than what the conservatives have done, and they listen to people. the swing here to labour was 18%, but we also found that, on turnout, some found this election to be a turn—off. may i ask who you voted for? i didn't vote. didn't vote, didn't vote. what do you make of the election result? i didn't vote. did you vote? no. lisa walker, owner of the sparky�*s emporium, did vote. here, amid the quirky, quaint and, quite frankly, unique items for sale, i asked her about the future under labour. are you optimistic, neutral, pessimistic? neutral—ish. but again, i still don't know. i can't give you the answers.

we've just got to wait and see, haven't we? one constituency with many voices, all waiting and seeing, just like the rest of the country. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in portsmouth north. lets look more at the labour landslide and take you somewhere dominated by the tories for almost a century, altrincham. i remember 1997 and to see what has happened today is just incredible. we are delighted for our family, our parents, our children's future. i feel delighted for that. and for our

hospitals, the nhs. it is time for change, new dawn has arrived. celebrations for some, but for others it is less about mary benz, more about necessity. with a tory governments, it was chaotic. it's a welcome change. we are looking forward to the positive changes that a labour government will bring. there's been so many mistakes being made~ _ there's been so many mistakes being made~ it_ there's been so many mistakes being made~ it is_ there's been so many mistakes being made. it is everyone wants a want to change. _ made. it is everyone wants a want to change, whether for the better or not, change, whether for the better or not. not — change, whether for the better or not, not quite sure. but people are voting _ not, not quite sure. but people are voting with — not, not quite sure. but people are voting with their feet on this occasion, _ voting with their feet on this occasion, which is a surprise in view— occasion, which is a surprise in view of— occasion, which is a surprise in view of the _ occasion, which is a surprise in view of the area, definitely. i won't — view of the area, definitely. i won't have thought it. that shows how the _ won't have thought it. that shows how the country is feeling. this really doesn't _ how the country is feeling. this really doesn't fit _ how the country is feeling. this really doesn't fit the _ how the country is feeling. ti 3 really doesn't fit the picture of a northern labour voting constituency. this is a land of millionaires, not everyone, but more than many parts of britain. true blue for 101 years, some of the country's most expensive

let's ta ke let's take some time to reflect on the performance of the prime minister. he has held his first press conference. one of the key things you said is tough decisions have to be made, it is making them early. he will hold his first cabinet meeting with his top team, including angela rayner and the chancellor rachel reeves. not to discuss. let's speak to someone who has analysed the job of several prime ministers in office from john major to borisjohnson. i am joined by anthony seldon. what do you make of keir starmer�*s performance. it’s of keir starmer's performance. it's a ve of keir starmer's performance. it�*s a very strong start. we've heard about how he's not charismatic and not very inspiring. but he is doing thejob the country not very inspiring. but he is doing the job the country wants, which is just to be sensible, to have detailed policies, to get people to

work with the cabinet ministers. the prime minister himself doesn't do the work, it is done through the cabinet ministers. the country feels there has been 1a years of underachievement by the various conservative ministers and prime ministers, so much better than others. but overall, it hasn't been a glorious period. can others. but overall, it hasn't been a glorious period.— a glorious period. can briefly interrupts — a glorious period. can briefly interrupts you. _ a glorious period. can briefly interrupts you. we _ a glorious period. can briefly interrupts you. we just - a glorious period. can briefly interrupts you. we just need | a glorious period. can briefly i interrupts you. we just need to a glorious period. can briefly - interrupts you. we just need to go to scotland, where they are having the final result read out.— the final result read out. 2502. therefore. _ the final result read out. 2502. therefore. i— the final result read out. 2502. therefore, i give _ the final result read out. 2502. therefore, i give public- the final result read out. 2502. therefore, i give public notice | the final result read out. 2502. - therefore, i give public notice that angus macdonald is elected as a member of parliament and i will invite him to speak to you. applause i would like to thank the voters of

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 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. otherwise, further south, 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.

live from downing street. this is bbc news. keir starmer says he will have to make tough decisions "and make them early" in his first full day as prime minister. it's a mandate not to govern
