6:00 pm
at his first cabinet meeting, sir keir tells his team they have �*a huge amount of work to do'. lam running i am running and going to win again. president biden says only the lord almighty could convince him to end his bid for re—election. football fans are holding their breath as the euro 2024 quarter final match continues between england and switzerland. welcome to downing street where it's sir keir starmer�*s first full day as prime minister. he vowed to start work immediately and has already held his first cabinet meeting and a news conference.
6:01 pm
with the day's events so far, here's our political editor chris mason. there was the first day school vibe in downing this morning. there was the first day at school vibe in downing this morning. is it good to be back? and excitement and pride from those now at the top of government. heading in for a cabinet meeting. levity and a sense of gravity and all this too. it was the honour and privilege of my life to be invited by his majesty the king yesterday to form the government. so what do you want from the new government? here are some folk in greater manchester. honesty. plain and simple honesty. i'd like every politician to do a professionaljob.
6:02 pm
priorities need to be - a massive increase in budgets and that is throughout . all the education sector. more focus on our border control, another system, disabled people, i work with disabled adults. levelling up for the north. we are fed up of our tired trains. at lunchtime, a news conference from the new prime minister. good afternoon and thank you very much for coming. yesterday, the work of change began, a changed labour party and yesterday we started the work of changing the country. he said the change can't be delivered by flicking a switch you said the change can't be delivered by flicking a switch but plenty of people might want lots of switches flicked pretty quickly. i wonder how soon you can start delivering concrete change. i'm restless for change and i think and hope that what you have already seen demonstrates that.
6:03 pm
not least the appointment yesterday of patrick vallance, james timpson, two individuals who are associated with change and delivery. sir patrick vallance used to be the chief scientific adviser. james timpson of the high street key cutting instrument in business is known for hiring ex—offenders and had this to say recently on those who end up injail. we have 85,000 people in prison, up to 100,000 pretty soon. one third of them should definitely be there. there is another third in the middle which probably shouldn't be there but they need some other kind of state support, many of them with severe mental health issues, been in and out of prison all their lives. another third, a large proportion of women, prison is a disaster for them. the prime minister didn't endorse these words explicitly but didn't distance himself from the sentiment either.
6:04 pm
we need to get away from the fact that for so many people out of prison, they are back in prison relatively quickly afterwards. that is a massive problem and that is why i am pleased to putjames into post, someone who hasn'tjust talked the talk but also walked the walk. meanwhile, conservatives are pondering what the future looks like this weekend and a recurring question. will you be the next tory party leader? no announcements, . we're taking ourtime. it has been a bad result. there is no two ways about it. back in number 10, that sense of novelty. have you found your way around? i've got a basic understanding of the rooms i've used so far here but there are plenty of hidden places i have yet to discover and no, we're not unpacked quite yet but will be soon and will be moving in soon. and never mind filling the sock

6:10 pm
two revelations perhaps, we are expecting the cancellation of the rwanda programme which is clearly going ahead. he made that clear. we had wes streeting the health secretary has a ready started talking to junior doctors about the industrial dispute there. and some tiny human touches at the end where we heard that sir keir starmer is still finding his way around the building. it's quite a warrant for anyone who has been in there. small corridors and rooms all over the place. he said he was heavily happy to be called keir but people want to call him prime minister. if to be called keir but people want to call him prime minister.— call him prime minister. if you want to see more — call him prime minister. if you want to see more pictures _ call him prime minister. if you want to see more pictures of— call him prime minister. if you want to see more pictures of him - call him prime minister. if you wantj to see more pictures of him walking around downing street, there are pictures on the bbc news website. they have been released already. tell us about the cabinet because he was very careful to point out that is aspirational for was very careful to point out that is aspirationalfor him was very careful to point out that is aspirational for him and wants it to reflect the country. the majority

6:13 pm
secretary and the private secretary who was at the top official of their private office which is basically providing their immediate support to make sure they are in the right place at the right time, manages paperflow for them, place at the right time, manages paperflow forthem, communicate paper flow for them, communicate their wishes to paperflow forthem, communicate their wishes to the department etc. number 10 is rather less structured when the prime minister goes into a small operation. the prime minister comes in with their own staff and some interesting things is when it's obvious where the chancellor of exchequer will be working from, where another secretary of state will be working from. the prime minister has to choose which of these not terribly fit for purpose offices they can use, then a bit of jostling for position of who gets to sit where because one of the things a number 10 is that if you don't make you want to be a crucial gatekeeper to the prime minister because face time with the prime

6:15 pm
inheriting from an mp of the same party, taking over a seat they do make of their successor, they may take over their staff. sometimes the staff work and are able to stay on and wait for the new mp even of a different party but they will need to employ people in their constituency and at westminster to run their operations but is quite a big ask to get that up and running at the same time as trying to work out their own living arrangement. mps are rather less altered in that transition their ministers are. and transition their ministers are. and finall , transition their ministers are. and finally. we — transition their ministers are. and finally, we know— transition their ministers are. and finally, we know the prime minister has been making lots of phone calls to people around the world —— leaders around the world. is there anything into who got the first phone call? how is a decision made? this will be one of the things they knew prime minister will be deciding with his foreign secretary, certainly with his foreign affairs advisers. there are some obvious
6:16 pm
calls that i think you always make, the us president is always very high up the us president is always very high up there, the big european allies, germany and france, one thing that's been quite noticeable is the prime minister seems to have a very warm phone call with ursula von der leyen from the eu and that also seems to have been talking and david lammy to his opposite number as well. big emphasis on improving relations with the irish government which is very interesting, lots of talk of a reset there because british irish relations have taken a bit of a dive in recent months. that's all quite interesting. one of the things that has been handed on a plate to keir starmer if you like is that next week he will have a meeting of major western leaders at the nato summit, in washington he said his press conference will be leaving on tuesday evening for that, and next week he is hosting the big european
6:17 pm
community summit and will be the chair so he will have lots of opportunity to meet leaders from across all three western allies in those two weeks and meeting keir starmer will be things lots of people are interested in, who is this new british prime minister who seems to have swept to power with a big majority?— big ma'ority? great to have you with us. big majority? great to have you with us. thank big majority? great to have you with us- thank you _ big majority? great to have you with us. thank you for _ big majority? great to have you with us. thank you forjoining _ big majority? great to have you with us. thank you forjoining us. - the independent mpjeremy corbyn has called on the labour government to suspend all arms trade to israel. he was speaking in london at a protest calling for a ceasefire in gaza. labour lost five seats to independent candidates — including jeremy corbyn — who campaigned on gaza. our reporter holly ellyatt asked mr corbyn about what he expected from the newly elected government. government has just had its first cabinet meeting this morning. this is a great opportunity to say we will now demand a complete and unconditional ceasefire in gaza,
6:18 pm
and we will suspend all arms trade to israel and demand the withdrawal of israel from gaza and the west bank. this would be a great start for the government. how confident are you that there will be a change in the policy direction? well, i think the labour party needs to reflect very carefully on the results of this election. whilst there is a huge increase in the number of labour mps and that obviously is very welcome. the issue is that the overall vote for the labour party barely went up on 2019, and in many constituencies there was a substantial depression of the labour vote because of people refusing to support labour because of gaza. and in your own constituency, how much of your own re—election do you put down to your stance on key policy issues like this? well, it's always hard to say exactly what it is that motivates people to vote. and i have been the mp
6:19 pm
there for a very long time, so i know a lot of people there also very well aware of my stance on gaza, on palestine, on anti—racism and obviously issues of social justice. but i certainly got a lot of support saying thank you for speaking out to try and bring peace to the middle east. are you worried that this the war in gaza won't be a priority for the starmer government? it'll be more domestic issues? well, obviously governments have a huge in—tray of issues they've got to deal with, but they must understand that if we don't get a ceasefire in gaza and an end to that horror show of 40,000 now dead, then the conflict is going to spread elsewhere. it could spread into lebanon. it could spread further into yemen. there's a whole host of places it could spread. there is now a new president in iran. that might be an opportunity. maybe it's an opportunity they should seize. i'm trying to bring together all of the governments of the region to ensure there is a ceasefire
6:20 pm
and an end to the destruction of palestinian life. while keeping across every single political development for you from downing street, lots of people are on their phones and screens keeping a close eye on the england— switzerland game. let's bring the latest on that. after 15 minutes, the score is 0—0. this match is gareth southgate's 100th game in charge. joining me now is our correspondent, joe inwood, who is watching the match with fans in south london. some people might call it work. i know! you drew the long straw again,

6:25 pm
back to us. so this is another incident, and violent incident which shows that although israel said the intensive phase of fighting has virtually come to an end, there are pockets all over gaza, here in the centre, in the north and south, where there are still intense bouts of fighting and strikes from israel taking place. this is all as momentum is building towards the resumption of talks on a ceasefire. thank you. much more on that attack in the gaza strip on the bbc news website. 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.
6:26 pm
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.
