promised. to start with, thus from our political correspondent hannah miller. the photo opportunities of office as keir starmer tours the four nations, starting in scotland, and heading to belfast and cardiff today. with the scottish first minister, he discussed grangemouth oil refinery, saying talks would start immediately over its future, with hundreds ofjobs under threat at the site. the point of this meeting was to reset the relationship in a respectful way, in a constructive way, and to recognise that on the economy, on energy, and very pressingly on grangemouth, there's room for us to have a constructive way of delivering for very many people across scotland. with the house of commons about to be filled with fresh faces, cornwall�*s four new labour mps set off together on their way to london. this is where new mps come when they arrive in westminster,

to pick up their passes and be buddied up with someone that knows their way around. more than half of them have never been an mp before, so today is essentially a day to settle in before parliamentary business starts tomorrow. education secretary bridget phillipson has already got started, saying she's getting on with recruiting 6,500 new teachers and promising to meet with unions in the coming days. and home secretary yvette cooper announced what she called a major upgrade to border enforcement, with recruitment for a new border security commander to tackle smuggling gangs under way. but she refused to put a timeline on when the crossings will fall. we want to make progress as rapidly as possible in getting the law enforcement arrangements in place. we do inherit a problem from the conservatives, where border crossings have gone up in the first half of this year, and that's why the law enforcement is so important,

because these criminal gangs are getting away with it. they are undermining border security and they are putting lives at risk. today, rachel reeves is set to make herfirst major speech as chancellor, in which she'll say there is no time to waste to rebuild the country's economy. that is without a doubt the message the government is trying to send as its first full week in office begins. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster. the new chancellor and her team at the treasury worked through the weekend on an immediate offer for business leaders and investors. in a speech later this morning, rachel reeves will tell them that the era of chaos and irresponsibility is over, a reference to the years of brexit and mini budget uncertainty. she will announce some immediate loosening of planning red tape, hoping to see investors unleash tens of billions of pounds of investment in green industry and building 1.5 million new homes. it includes mandatory

house—building targets. the labour manifesto also pointed to development on so—called grey belt, already built—on parts of protected green belt, and the moratorium on onshore wind power is expected to be lifted. all of these measures have faced protests in local communities and weren't introduced by the previous government. just after last week's election, ms reeves told the bbc she knows and expects this to be a politicalflashpoint. we're willing to have that fight because unless we can unlock that investment, unless we can reform our planning system to be able to do that, we're going to be stuck in this doom loop of high taxes, low growth, and poor public services. we've got to break out of that doom loop. the chancellor will not yet announce new tax and spend measures. she will meet this week with the office of budget responsibility, and a budget and spending review is expected in the autumn. today, the chancellor will say there's no time to waste as she seeks a big bang on planning to get britain building again. faisal islam, bbc news.

let's have a look of what the first few weeks of this new labour government has in store. to start with the tremors still continue his tour of the uk missions with a trip tour of the uk missions with a trip to belfast and cardiff today after spending yesterday in scotland. the new parliament sits for the first time tomorrow, and one of its tasks is to elect the speaker of the house of commons. sir keir starmer is then due to fly to washington for the nato leaders summit, where he will meet with us presidentjoe biden and reaffirmed the uk's support for ukraine. the king's speech is expected to take place on the 17th ofjuly, setting up the government's legislative programme and parameters. king charles will read the speech in the house of lords marking the state opening of parliament. we'rejoined now from janos street by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. ——

new leader at little on who that new leader will be. i think that is why rachel reeves is making the speech today rather than in a little while, because it gives her an opportunity to make potentially quite controversial decisions about housing at a moment when there is goodwill in parliament, even among labour mps as well as more generally. get the next few weeks right, and this government could be quite popularfor some right, and this government could be quite popular for some time. right, and this government could be quite popularfor some time. get them wrong, and things could go sour quite fast. them wrong, and things could go sour uuite fast. , . ~' , ., ~ quite fast. henry, thank you. we will be speaking _ quite fast. henry, thank you. we will be speaking to _ quite fast. henry, thank you. we will be speaking to the _ quite fast. henry, thank you. we will be speaking to the new - quite fast. henry, thank you. we will be speaking to the new chief secretary to the treasury at 7.30 about labour's plans for the economy, and we will also be hearing from the conservatives and the liberal democrats throughout this morning's programme. but there has been another election, and a shock result. france is facing political deadlock this morning after parliamentary elections there dealt a shock blow to the far right national rally, but left no party

with a majority in the country's national assembly. official results show a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, with show a victory for the left—wing new popularfront alliance, with french president emmanuel macron�*s party second and marine le pen's party ending up in third. victory brings joy and also relief. for france's left, the fear that the far right national rally stood at the gates of power finally abated. instead, they came out on top, beating the national valley into third place, thwarting its hopes of power and with that the hardline law and order. translation: i am power and with that the hardline law and order. translation:— and order. translation: i am still moved. it and order. translation: i am still moved- it is — and order. translation: i am still moved. it is incredible. _ and order. translation: i am still moved. it is incredible. we - and order. translation: i am still moved. it is incredible. we are - moved. it is incredible. we are relieved. there is a lot of hope for the future of france, for the left. what is happening here is historic. it is a liberation.—

i have been looking at all the options of who could work with him. the left really thought the far right would make a big gains here, and they have but was a reaction, and they have but was a reaction, and i think the idea that certain citizens who had dual nationality would not be allowed certain jobs under the far right, i think that had a big impact on people here. there have been successive waves of immigration here, hundreds of thousands of people of spanish origin, italian origin, who live down here, maybe they thought that was too close to home. so what you have now is gridlocked, you have these big blocks in the centre, the far left, and of course the far right, and i don't see how you could

put this all together, it will take a long time, and we're looking at political turmoil, instability, and the financial side as well, businesses, what do they do? they have to know where they stand at what they can do in of investment. chris, thank you for the update. here, the technology giant amazon could be set to recognise a trade union in the uk for the first time. employees at the company's coventry side will vote today on whether they want the gmb union to represent them, with the result expected in mid july. amazon maintains that its employees have always had the choice ofjoining a union. thousands of people have been demonstrating against mass tourism in barcelona. footage filmed in the spanish city over the weekend shows diners in some popular tourist areas being squatted with water pistols, and crowds of protesters chanting tourists go home. it is one of a number of cities in spain where high tourist numbers have led to a

backlash among some residents. here, a cybersecurity expert has warned that the nhs is vulnerable further attacks from hackers unless it updates its computer systems. professor ciaran martyn, the founder of the uk's national cyber security centre, spoke out after that major ransomware attack severely disrupted health care services across london last month. hurricane beryl is now lashing parts of the usa and mexico with high winds and heavy rain, days after it caused havoc across the caribbean. evacuation orders have been issued for several coastal areas of texas and thousands of people have been left without power as the storm hits further north. from central america, here is our correspondence will drown. —— will grant. after beryl wrought havoc in the caribbean and mexico last week,

now the united states is feeling the effects of this uniquely early, uncommonly powerful storm. as the hurricane's outer bands of rain lashed parts of the texas coastline, forecasters warned of the potential for dangerous storm surges in corpus christi and galveston. packing sustained high winds of around 70 miles an hour, several counties have issued evacuation orders, and thousands could be left without power, even in and around houston. just know it's going to be wet, it's going to be windy, and it's going to be dangerous. do not go out between 12 midnight and 12 noon tomorrow. ahead of hurricane beryl making landfall, texans made last—minute preparations. homes have been boarded up, storm shutters put in place, and many residents have stocked up on petrol for their generators and other vital supplies. this is actually the first hurricane i'm going to be experiencing. i mean, we go through this all - the time, every time there's a storm out there, like i said, you know, and everybody gets kind of crazy

and, you know, you got to kind of prepare for the worst, - you know, hope for the best. as the storm moved through the region, it has strengthened and weakened. at one stage, it was the earliest category five storm in atlantic hurricane history. experts say the warming of the oceans caused by human activity has made recent hurricane seasons busier and more intense than ever. by the time it struck mexico, it had lost some of its power. yet even here, including in the tourist resort of cancun, there was widespread flooding and power lines were brought down. the real damage, though, was in the caribbean. smaller islands, particularly off grenada and saint vincent and the grenadines, were left in ruins. at least ten people have been killed, and the cost of hurricane beryl across the region is vast. in response, the united nations has promised millions in emergency relief funds, but with some communities having lost almost will grant, bbc news, mexico.

of pounds for research into the degenerative condition. this report from west yorkshire. they turned out in their thousands to say farewell to a man who first made his mark on the rugby pitch, but went on to become a tireless campaigner for motor neurone disease. the cortege made its way from rob's castleford home and past the featherstone lions rugby club, where he played as a lad. instead of sitting there and feeling sorry for himself, he got out there and did stuff for the mnd community. he was the least selfish man ever. i think it is a celebration very much that he was a sensational player, an inspiration to many. i mean, he wasjust something else.

we'll never see - the like of him again. but he was a fine bloke. he was, and i think we're all going to miss him. crowds gathered along the route to pontefract crematorium to mark rob's final journey as the cars carrying his wife lindsay, children macy and jackson, and rob's sisters, parents and in—laws pass through. i'm so proud. so proud of him, for what he's done for rugby league. everybody wanted to come out and just show support for rob's family and just an amazing man. the images of kevin sinfield carrying rob over the finish line of the leeds marathon touched the nation's hearts. kevin was one of the 160 mourners invited to a private funeral service. other guests included those who had campaigned with him and played alongside him. dealt with the his disease,

how he dealt with everything, you know, his whole career, had adversity because of the size of him and everything else. and he'sjustjust a tough human being and, you know, to see how he's handled this is inspiring to me, to his team—mates and to everybody involved in the community. rob has changed the paradigm up, you know, totally. he's changed the whole whole narrative of motor neurone disease and how it is perceived by the public and by, uh, you know, uh, by health care professionals as well. so, yes, there's a change in direction now. there will be a further event to remember rob next friday when leeds city council host a civic reception, which will be live streamed to the public. abby jaiyeola, bbc news. that will be another very poignant day, good to see so many people turning out yesterday. it is 6.2a. it was one of the most memorable tv moments of the year back in, i still can't believe this, 2019. this was the last gavin and stacey christmas special, and it left 18 million of us on tenterhooks with this. i loves

is coming in and out for tourists. there was money to play within the 18705, it there was money to play within the 1870s, it was a pretty for economists, not now. let's outline some of the challenges for the chancellor. the uk fell into a shallow recession at the end of last year, there was a bit of growth in the first quarter of this year and thenit the first quarter of this year and then it stalled into the spring. at then it stalled into the spring. at the moment we are paying more in taxes than any points since the end of the second world war. she will not want to increase taxes on those areas. inflation will have come down, it may have done, the increase in gusts, but interest rates are still at the highest points they have been for 16 years so most households are feeling the pinch. the challenge for the chancellor is how to create a big bang in the challenge for the chancellor is how to create a big bang in the economy, an impetus that everybody needs without raising taxes. morning ever everybody. we have a whole range of experts to talk to. let's start with danny, you talk to investors, the hope is that this big

bang will come from the private sector, what are they saying? fist bang will come from the private sector, what are they saying? at the moment they _ sector, what are they saying? at the moment they seem _ sector, what are they saying? at the moment they seem tentatively - moment they seem tentatively accepting of this new labour government, certainly we saw the ftse 250 up on friday. what they are saying is they want that stability, they need the confidence in order to invest in all of these things that labour needs to get the economy growing. they don't have the money to chuck at it to build these massive infrastructure projects themselves. so they are going to have to rely on the private sector if they want to get that growth they so badly need. if they want to get that growth they so badly need-— so badly need. time is of the essence. _ so badly need. time is of the essence, isn't _ so badly need. time is of the essence, isn't it? _ so badly need. time is of the essence, isn't it? they - so badly need. time is of the essence, isn't it? they were | so badly need. time is of the - essence, isn't it? they were very cautious in campaigning. when we hearfrom the cautious in campaigning. when we hear from the chancellor today, do we need a big announcement? timer;r we need a big announcement? they have been very _ we need a big announcement? he have been very cautious we need a big announcement? tie have been very cautious they we need a big announcement? “iie1: have been very cautious they don't want to rattle markets. that's something that we saw the kwasi kwarteng liz truss mini budget, we saw the impact that had on all of our lives. it's interesting that rachel reeves is choosing to talk to

businesses and that is her first point of call. she needs them on board. she is going to say that infrastructure is key, house—building, taking us cleaner and greener, in order to attract investment that we need. thank you. and she had — investment that we need. thank you. and she had said, _ investment that we need. thank you. and she had said, the _ investment that we need. thank you. and she had said, the chancellor, - and she had said, the chancellor, that private investment is the lifeblood of economic growth, as are small businesses. let's talk to a lady who runs one. how gorgeous is this, by the way? morning, amanda, you have chosen a little carriage here, you run a small toy shop not farfrom here in didsbury. i'm imagining lovely toys are a luxury at the moment when household budgets don't necessarily have that bandwidth.— don't necessarily have that bandwidth. , , ., , bandwidth. yes, they are, but we also sell a — bandwidth. yes, they are, but we also sell a range _ bandwidth. yes, they are, but we also sell a range of— bandwidth. yes, they are, but we also sell a range of products - bandwidth. yes, they are, but we also sell a range of products that| also sell a range of products that are under— also sell a range of products that are under £5, £10. i'm even finding sales— are under £5, £10. i'm even finding sales on— are under £5, £10. i'm even finding sales on those have dropped at the moment, _ sales on those have dropped at the moment, the friday afternoon treats, used to— moment, the friday afternoon treats, used to be _ moment, the friday afternoon treats, used to be mobbed on a friday afternoon _ used to be mobbed on a friday afternoon and that isn't happening, everybody — afternoon and that isn't happening, everybody is cutting back on disposable income is down, it's tough _

important that small businesses are paid in full important that small businesses are paid infulland important that small businesses are paid in full and on time but at the moment billions are outstanding from large companies to small firms. also opening access to affordable finance for small businesses, we are seeing more and more demand for personal guarantees on lending, even for small amounts. guarantees on lending, even for smallamounts. but guarantees on lending, even for small amounts. but without the same protections that consumers get when they lend. so closing those loopholes would be very useful. but! loopholes would be very useful. and ou would loopholes would be very useful. and you would like to see that enshrine in law? : �* , you would like to see that enshrine in law?_ thank - you would like to see that enshrine in law?_ thank you, . in law? that's right. thank you, phil. it in law? that's right. thank you, phil- it will— in law? that's right. thank you, phil. u will be _ in law? that's right. thank you, phil. it will be really _ in law? that's right. thank you, | phil. it will be really interesting. the chancellor will be speaking at downing street later but she has to walk the line. the cautious tone they kept throughout the campaign and whether that will cut it when it comes to businesses and investors on who she is relying. they might want to hear something a bit more radical in order to get things stimulated. it's expected she will start with housing and construction this morning. nina, for now, thank you very much indeed. labour may have won the general

election but one of the other parties celebrating their results is the liberal democrats. there will be 72 mps from the party in the next parliament, more than six times the number they sent to westminster in 2019. one of them is their chief whip, wendy chamberlain. shejoins us now. she is smiling! have you got used to this idea of having so many mps on your benches? hat this idea of having so many mps on your benches?— this idea of having so many mps on your benches? not quite, i'm smiling because really _ your benches? not quite, i'm smiling because really you _ your benches? not quite, i'm smiling because really you have _ your benches? not quite, i'm smiling because really you have just - because really you have just outlined the scale of the liberal democrats success and indeed what i as chief whip will be doing today is welcoming all of those new mps to parliament and helping them get the best possible start that they can. 72 seats you have one. it's a massive improvement, it makes you the third biggest party in parliament but compared with labour's a11 seats, you are in a different league, aren't you? how do you exert power and influence when they are going to be so dominant with this massive majority? you

they are going to be so dominant with this massive majority? with this massive ma'ority? you have outlined with this massive ma'ority? you have outttned that _ with this massive ma'ority? you have outlined that 72 — with this massive majority? you have outlined that 72 seats _ with this massive majority? you have outlined that 72 seats is _ with this massive majority? you have outlined that 72 seats is a _ with this massive majority? you have outlined that 72 seats is a massive i outlined that 72 seats is a massive increase for us so we other third party by some distance. in fact we are nearer to the —— conservatives as the official opposition then we are to the other parties. as the third party we have different privileges and rights, ed davey will have two prime minister's questions per week and we will be thinking about select committee places in those kind of things. what we elected at the election was a number of local champion standing up for their communities, and i know they will themselves have individual aim is that they want to deliver for those local communities so part of my role as chief whip is allowing people to hit the ground running so they can deliver on them as quickly as possible. they can deliver on them as quickly as possible-— as possible. how can they really deliver is the _ as possible. how can they really deliver is the third _ as possible. how can they really deliver is the third party - as possible. how can they really deliver is the third party in - deliver is the third party in parliament?— deliver is the third party in tarliament? �* , ., , parliament? it's about building relationships. _ parliament? it's about building relationships. we _ parliament? it's about building relationships. we exist - parliament? it's about building relationships. we exist on - parliament? it's about building relationships. we exist on a i parliament? it's about building i relationships. we exist on a 2-party relationships. we exist on a 2—party system which is driven by the first past the post system. i think what is often lost in the heat of the election is the fact that mps are

people, we build relationships, when i was one of only 11 mps coming into parliament for the liberal democrat in 2019, you think, how can you do anything? but during my time in parliament i made changes to biology studies twice and i delivered a private members bill. —— to parliamentary standards twice. it can be done by smaller parties and we have had a great leap forward being a third party in a much bigger group. being a third party in a much bigger t-rou. :, , :, being a third party in a much bigger a rou n . :, , :, :, being a third party in a much bigger t-rou. :, , :, :, , group. you will be on the other side ofthe group. you will be on the other side of the house _ group. you will be on the other side of the house of _ group. you will be on the other side of the house of commons _ group. you will be on the other side of the house of commons from i group. you will be on the other side i of the house of commons from labour but are you prepared to work with labour if required? irate but are you prepared to work with labour if required?— but are you prepared to work with labour if required? we are prepared to work with — labour if required? we are prepared to work with any _ labour if required? we are prepared to work with any party _ labour if required? we are prepared to work with any party when - labour if required? we are prepared to work with any party when we i labour if required? we are prepared to work with any party when we are l to work with any party when we are looking at what the priorities are. it's quite clear that the uk is not in a great place. i'm representing a scottish seat, we increased our representation there as well, my view was the verdict was we had two governments bailing us. we were very clear in our manifesto. we put nhs and social care at the heart of it and social care at the heart of it and we will be very keen to see what we can do and how we can work, and i believe ed davey said yesterday to

labour, steal our best policies, because we want what is best for the public generally. you because we want what is best for the public generally-— public generally. you guys made a bit feature public generally. you guys made a big feature of— public generally. you guys made a big feature of social _ public generally. you guys made a big feature of social care - public generally. you guys made a big feature of social care during i big feature of social care during the campaign. a lot of people and families watching this morning, it means a lot to them, social care, and they want a long—term solution which has not really happened over the last few years. do you think there is the potential of all parties coming together and coming up parties coming together and coming up with a solution that they can all deal with? :, i. ., up with a solution that they can all dealwith? :, i. ., ., , ,:, , deal with? jon, you are absolutely ritht. ed deal with? jon, you are absolutely right- ed davey — deal with? jon, you are absolutely right. ed davey talking _ deal with? jon, you are absolutely right. ed davey talking about i deal with? jon, you are absolutely right. ed davey talking about his l right. ed davey talking about his own caring experience during the election campaign resonated for many, i know i have spoken to constituency felt it was very powerful. at our manifesto put it at the heart, but we did say we needed to work for a cross—party consensus to work for a cross—party consensus to deal with social care so that we are supporting unpaid carers who want to look after family members for as long as possible but also ensure that the right provision is therefore people so can do that. so you would work with labour,

potentially like some kind of cross party grouping, that would look specifically at social care? that is what we said _ specifically at social care? that is what we said in _ specifically at social care? that is what we said in our— specifically at social care? that is what we said in our manifesto. i specifically at social care? that is | what we said in our manifesto. we needed to deal with this in a cross—party basis, we need to take politics out of it. no matter what government and what parties in power, they are going to be dealing with that as people live for longer with that as people live for longer with more more long—term health conditions. with more more long-term health conditions. : ., with more more long-term health conditions-— with more more long-term health conditions. : ., ., ., conditions. and if labour agreed to that, and somehow— conditions. and if labour agreed to that, and somehow you _ conditions. and if labour agreed to that, and somehow you all - conditions. and if labour agreed to that, and somehow you all come i conditions. and if labour agreed to | that, and somehow you all come up with a social care future that you can be proud of and happy with, where does that leave you at the next election, doesn't that take away your identity anyway? it shows that absolutely _ away your identity anyway? it shows that absolutely liberal _ away your identity anyway? it shows that absolutely liberal democrats i that absolutely liberal democrats can deliver. i think one of the important things about this election is the fact that we were winning in places where labour could not, where we presented a very clear alternative to the conservatives in those seats. ed davey called it the blue ball. and in scotland we are fighting a different contest against the snp, and that is the case for

our six seats in scotland. it's about the political identity but people always say, the public always say that they want to see that their politicians are working together for the best. i would hope that if the liberal democrats are seen to do that, i can't see how that would not benefit. i that, i can't see how that would not benefit. ,, :, �* that, i can't see how that would not benefit. ~ :, �* that, i can't see how that would not benefit. ., :, �* i. that, i can't see how that would not benefit. ~ :, �* ., benefit. i know i'm saying you are very strategic _ benefit. i know i'm saying you are very strategic in _ benefit. i know i'm saying you are very strategic in this _ benefit. i know i'm saying you are very strategic in this election i very strategic in this election trying to target conservatives, unseat them and take their places and deal with their apparent popularity. if they are not there any more, —— at their apparent unpopularity. you might struggle over the next few years to have the same energy behind you, you have got to redefine your cells going forward. ,: :, :, to redefine your cells going forward. ,: ., :, :, forward. there is clearly a lot of work going _ forward. there is clearly a lot of work going forward. _ forward. there is clearly a lot of work going forward. we - forward. there is clearly a lot of work going forward. we all i forward. there is clearly a lot of i work going forward. we all remember 2015 and how painful that was for the party. but here we are, within ten years, back and with the biggest number of mps since 1923 for the liberals, i think we have got a lot to do, a lot to prove, but i can

pressure coming in from the south—west. some patchy fog around the vale of york, salisbury plain, the vale of york, salisbury plain, the cloud building from the south with showers. scattered showers across scotland and further showers developing through the day that they will be scattered. it will start to get wetter from the south—west and the channel islands, and hear the wind will pick up. temperatures, 12 to 21 celsius, the higher temperatures will be where we have got sunshine for the longest period. for wimbledon today, the chance of a shower and then later on, we will see the clouds thicken as the rain comes in. tomorrow, a similar story, could be some disruption as wet weather pushes across the wimbledon area. this evening and overnight, here comes the rain. steadily moving from the south, pushing north. some clear skies ahead of it but one or two showers as well tending to fade in the north. it will not be as chilly at night as the one just gone, seven to 1a or 15 degrees.

that is the overnight lows. if we pick up the band of rain tomorrow, locally it will be heavy, it will continue to push out of north wales and into the rest of northern england into scotland and northern ireland. ahead of it, one or two showers but with the british conditions tomorrow across northern and western scotland. —— the brightest conditions across northern and western scotland. it will brighten up behind the rain, feeling humid, a few showers and a band of rain very close to us which could clip east anglia at times. temperatures 13—21. as we move later into the week, you can see tuesday night into wednesday, low pressure pushes north. this weatherfront. you will see the rainfall totals mount up quite significantly across north—east scotland as we go through the week. further rain to come in the week. further rain to come in the north, windy conditions, head further south and we have got drier conditions, some sunshine. again we

are not immune to a shower or two. temperatures 13 in the north to 22 in the south, again, dependent on the amount of sunshine that we see. then a weather front thinking south during the course of thursday, taking a band of cloud and some splashes of rain. still windy conditions, the direction of the wind is from the north. further south drier and brighter, and only 13 to 1a in lerwick and aberdeen, really poorfor this 13 to 1a in lerwick and aberdeen, really poor for this stage injuly. further south 20 or 21 but these temperatures are below average for this time of year. what about next week, any sign? i would love to say yes, jon! but i what about next week, any sign? i | would love to say yes, jon! but she will not. would love to say yes, jon! but she will not- one _ would love to say yes, jon! but she will not. one day, _ would love to say yes, jon! but she will not. one day, one _ would love to say yes, jon! but she will not. one day, one day, - would love to say yes, jon! but she will not. one day, one day, carol. l will not. one day, one day, carol. maybe next year!— will not. one day, one day, carol. maybe next year! more disruption at wimbledon and _ maybe next year! more disruption at wimbledon and it _ maybe next year! more disruption at wimbledon and it was _ maybe next year! more disruption at

all the emotions. this is my last race here, at the british grand prix with his team. so i wanted to do this so much for them, because i love them, i appreciate them so much, all the hard work they have been putting in all over these years. all three british drivers started at the front but who would come out on top? it's lights out and away we go. both mercedes got out well but lando norris's mclaren wobbled and max verstappen pounced. but norris struck back and fans were soon singing in the rain as the old master lewis hamilton used his guile to snatch the lead from his team—mate. the rain was wreaking havoc. george russell had to retire, lando norris made mistakes, and lewis took full advantage. a tense showdown saw verstappen snatch second but he couldn't catch an emotional hamilton. wins the british grand prix! thank you so much, guys, it means a lot. a tearful hug with dad after the 39—year—old's first race win in two and a half years. well, those conditions

made it tricky for most, but lewis hamilton seemed to relish them. 16 years from his first british grand prix win, he was back here getting a hug from brad pitt. this win, then, the perfect example that form is temporary but class is permanent. natalie pirks, bbc news, silverstone. what a moment, and a sprinkling of hollywood stardust as well to boot. heading into the second week of wimbledon today. there won't be any british players involved in the singles as emma raducanu bowed out. the former us open champion was the only briton remaining in either the women's or the men's singles draw but she fell to defeat to the unseeded lulu sun of new zealand in three sets on centre court. six months ago when i was starting out after surgery, i would have signed for the fourth

round of wimbledon and of course i'm disappointed, of course i want more. but, you know, ithink everything does happen for a reason and itjust, yeah, fuels the fire and makes me more hungry. no longer playing in the mixed doubles either with andy murray. raducanu's exit was put into sharper focus after second seed coco gauff, who was on the same side of the draw as the briton, was dumped out in straight sets by her compatriot emma navarro. she'll face jasmine paolini in the next round. in the men's draw, defending champion carlos alcaraz is through to the quarterfinals, beating france's ugo humbert in four sets. he faces 12th seed tommy paul next after the american overcame roberto bautista agut of spain in straight sets. i'm feeling great on the court, i think i'm getting better and better. i'm feeling really comfortable on the court, hitting good points, good shots, so hopefully keep going.

novak djokovic is in action today. the serb is 37 and you'd think would be keen to preserve as much energy as possible but not a bit of it. world number one and top seed jannik sinner is also through to the last eight, he beat american ben shelton in straight sets — he'll play fifth seed danill medvedev next with a potential semifinal against alcaraz looming on the horizon. here was djokovic on his day off helping to uncover the practice courts before he could tune up for facing norwegain holger rune as he seeks an eighth wimbledon crown. good to see him playing a part there before his big match! tom pidcock came within inches of winning the second stage at the tour de france. the leader is 33 seconds

ahead after a breathless battle with his rivals out on the gravel of stage nine. the finish came down to a six—man sprint from a breakaway group, slamming his handlebars in frustration after he did not get the winner. euan ferguson has clinched a place in the open chip after clinching victory in the bmw invitational in munich. ferguson two shots clear of the field, his first win on the world tour in two years and he loved it. laura muir set it. laura muirseta it. laura muir set a new british record in the women's 1500 laura muir set a new british record in the women's1500 metres but could only finish third, fifth keep you going underlined her status by setting a new world record. salford are up to fifth in the super league. mark snade played a key role

in guiding salford to victory over hull fc in what was his 300th super league appearance. he kicked two penalty —— three penalties and two conversions. they all count, doesn't matter how you do itjust all count, doesn't matter how you do it just get all count, doesn't matter how you do itjust get over all count, doesn't matter how you do it just get over the all count, doesn't matter how you do itjust get over the line. that is something england have been doing at the euros this year. we have seen last—minute equaliser equalisers, penalty shoot—out victories, i would like to say, jon and sarah, it will be more straightforward for england when they play the netherlands here in dortmund on wednesday. i'm not sure about that, though! i think you might be right! thank you, speak to you later. it was broadcast in 60 countries and regulary drew 25 million viewers back in the 1970s. now, the classic sitcom some mothers do �*ave �*em is back. a new play will showcase the iconic characters of the tv series, including, of course, the bumbling frank spencer, with his

trademark beret and trench coat. our reporterjayne mccubbin went behind the scenes to find out more. the year is 1973. a tv phenomenon is born. what are you doing in that cage? i'm trying to get my beret back. frank is, for me, is the quintessential british underdog. utterly unable to cope in the real world. yes, he's the man that we all love, and we love him for wanting to be better and failing in the process. this is why, 51 years on, you're bringing frank back. we are. i'm frank, frank spencer. the original show was written by ray allen in the garden shed at the bottom of his mum and dads garden. how much of you is there in frank spencer? it's quite a lot, i think, really. i've, um... many of the things that happened to frank have happened to me. you really do get into those situations?

yes. this is my kitchen. but this week, sam denia, the latest incarnation of frank, will launch some mothers do �*ave �*em at cirencester�*s barn theatre. sam, aka frank, give us some classic frank—isms. well... i'm a man! well, i can't, because i'll bring on my trouble. ooh, betty! and i believe he only said that once. that's right, just the once. series two, episode two. i don't know, i think so. and it isn't even in the play. it's not even in the show. oooh! oooooh! of course it was the stunts that made this show so special. you know, he's done a lot of work, as you can see, on the house. everything is as solid as a rock... so sorry, sorry about that. frank's pretty good at...

hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. there's a warning that the nhs remains potentially vulnerable to further cyber attacks unless it updates its computer systems. it follows a ransomware attack injune that targeted pathology services provider synnovis. more than 6,000 appointments and procedures have had to be postponed across guys and st thomas' and king's college hospital nhs foundation trusts. nhs england maintains it is taking steps to address cybersecurity, but security experts say an upgrade is needed. in parts of the nhs, it's quite clear that some of the it is out of date. there was a report earlier this year saying that something like 8,000 doctor years were spent waiting for computers to boot up and things like that. but in general, out of date it is very, very hard to protect. trying to improve and modernise the nhs it estate is probably the single most useful thing that we could do.

maybe 23 degrees for some of us into the afternoon. still some showers to come, though, for the rest of the week. that's it from us for now. there's more on all these stories online and on the bbc news app. we'll be back in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back tojon and sarah. bye for now. good morning and welcome to breakfast. here are headlines. sir keir starmer begins his first week in power. he visits northern ireland and wales is as new government announces a raft of measures on health, education, and immigration. meanwhile, rachel reeves will promise to make an economic growth a national mission in herfirst speech as chancellor. celebrations and protests in france. their surprise

good morning. it is monday the 8th ofjuly. the new prime minister sir keir starmer is beginning his first full week in power, with his cabinet making a series of announcements on health, education, immigration, and the economy. they are going to have a very busy week, so let's have a look at what it will look like for the new government. we know that the prime minister is contorting his tour of the uk nations today, with a trip to belfast and to cardiff after spending yesterday in scotland. then the new parliament sits for the first time tomorrow, and one of its tasks is to elect the speaker of the house of commons. no sooner is that donovan sir keir starmer is due to fly to washington for the nato leaders summit, where he will meet us presidentjoe biden and reaffirm the uk support for ukraine. king's speech is expected to take place on 17th ofjuly, setting out the

government's legislative programme and priorities. king charles will need to speech in the house of lords, marking the state opening of parliament. here is our political correspondent hannah miller. the photo opportunities of office as keir starmer tours the four nations, starting in scotland, and heading to belfast and cardiff today. with the scottish first minister, he discussed grangemouth oil refinery, saying talks would start immediately over its future, with hundreds ofjobs under threat at the site. the point of this meeting was to reset the relationship in a respectful way, in a constructive way, and to recognise that on the economy, on energy, and very pressingly on grangemouth, there's room for us to have a constructive way of delivering for very many people across scotland. with the house of commons about to be filled with fresh faces, cornwall�*s four new labour mps set off together on their way to london. this is where new mps come when they arrive in westminster, to pick up their passes and be

buddied up with someone that knows their way around. more than half of them have never been an mp before, so today is essentially a day to settle in before parliamentary business starts tomorrow. education secretary bridget phillipson has already got started, saying she's getting on with recruiting 6,500 new teachers and promising to meet with unions in the coming days. and home secretary yvette cooper announced what she called a major upgrade to border enforcement, with recruitment for a new border security commander to tackle smuggling gangs under way.

but she refused to put a timeline on when the crossings will fall. we want to make progress as rapidly as possible in getting the law enforcement arrangements in place. we do inherit a problem from the conservatives, where border crossings have gone up in the first half of this year, and that's why the law enforcement is so important, because these criminal gangs are getting away with it. they are undermining border security and they are putting lives at risk. today, rachel reeves is set to make herfirst major speech as chancellor, in which she'll say there is no time to waste to rebuild the country's economy. that is without a doubt the message the government is trying to send as its first full week in office begins. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster. as pa rt of as part of her first speech, the new chancellor is expected to promise to make kick—starting economic growth eight national mission, as well as announcing bringing back compulsory house—building targets as part of an overhaul of planning rules. we can hear more about the chancellor's plans from our economics editor faisal islam. the new chancellor and her team at the treasury worked through the weekend on an immediate offerfor

business leaders and investors. in a speech later this morning, rachel reeves will tell them that the era of chaos and irresponsibility is over, a reference to the years of brexit and mini budget uncertainty. she will announce some immediate loosening of planning red tape, hoping to see investors unleash tens of billions of pounds of investment in green industry and building 1.5 million new homes. it includes mandatory house—building targets. the labour manifesto also pointed to development on so—called grey belt, already built—on parts of protected green belt, and the moratorium on onshore wind power is expected to be lifted. all of these measures have faced protests in local communities and weren't introduced by the previous government. just after last week's election, ms reeves told the bbc she knows and expects this to be a politicalflashpoint. we're willing to have that fight because unless we can unlock that investment, unless we can reform our planning system to be able to do that, we're going to be stuck in this doom loop of high taxes, low growth, and poor public services. we've got to break out of that doom loop.

the chancellor will not yet announce new tax and spend measures. she will meet this week with the office of budget responsibility, and a budget and spending review is expected in the autumn. today, the chancellor will say there's no time to waste as she seeks a big bang on planning to get britain building again. faisal islam, bbc news. we'rejoined now from downing street by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. henry, there's been a flurry of policy announcements, with the new government keen to appear ready for work and wanting to hit the ground running. how important are these first few days for setting the tone and how labour are going to govern? thea;r days for setting the tone and how labour are going to govern? they are vitally important, _ labour are going to govern? they are vitally important, a _ labour are going to govern? they are vitally important, a government i labour are going to govern? they are vitally important, a government like l vitally important, a government like a person only gets one chance to make a first impression, and so what sir keir starmer and his new team do in the coming days, weeks, months, could shape how people see them for years. and i think the government knows that there have been swept into downing street on a wave of

discontent with the conservatives, and they want to show that they have got the energy and the ideas to fix the problem is that so many people believe there are in this country. but i think there's something else going on. why is rachel reeves making those announcements you were just hearing about today? that's because a government never has more authority than when it has just been elected. so some of these moves will be controversial, but they will be much less controversial now when there is goodwill, when the newly elected labour mps are completely supportive of keir starmer and his team than they might be further down the track. there's lots still to come, we will get a lot more appointments to sir keir starmer�*s ministerial team, we only know about the cabinet and a few others at the moment, and then to moral sir keir starmer in his first international does it. he is going to washington, dc for a nato summit. it all comes thick and fast. of keir starmer and the labour government get the next few days and weeks right, then they

could be quite popular. —— if. but if they get them wrong, things could sour fast. : «a , at 7.30, we'll be speaking to the new chief secretary to the treasury, darrenjones, about labour's plans for the economy. we'll also hear from the conservatives and the liberal democrats throughout this morning's programme. france is facing political deadlock after parliamentary elections dealt a shock blow to the far—right national rally, but left no party with a majority in the country's national assembly. official results show a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, with french president emmanuel macron's centrist

alliance second, and marine le pen's right—wing party third. our correspondent mark lowen has the story. victory brings joy and also relief. for france's left, the fear that the far right national rally stood at the gates of power finally abated. instead, they came out on top, beating the rally into third place, thwarting its hopes of power and with it the hard line on immigration and law and order. translation: i am still moved. it is incredible. we are relieved. there is a lot of hope for the future of france, for the left. what is happening here is historic. it is a liberation. down the road, more celebrations on the left, but they won't have a majority. a hung parliament could spell paralysis, but for supporters, it is far better than the alternative.

translation: i am a dual national, franco—algerian, so for weeks i was afraid for my life, and i said to myself, maybe i will think about leaving just for the sake of my life and that of my loved ones. but now i can't quite bring myself to do it. all i do is cry because the one thing i keep telling myself is that we are safe. what a difference at the national rally hq. they had come so close to forming france's first far right government since the second world war, but it wasn't to be. their leader tried to lift spirits. translation: we are losing one more year. _ one more year of unregulated immigration, of losing purchasing power, one more year of insecurity in our country. but if we need to go through that, then we'll go through that.

tepid champagne, fading jazz. it's not quite the bash the national rally was planning, but the party isn't over, and they will be hoping that, whatever government emerges will be so riven by division that it plays into the hands of marine le pen at the next presidential election in 2027. beneath the political fireworks is a divided country still not yet sure who will lead it out of the dark. let's go live to paris. here we have a little part in the uk with a huge majority dominating the house of commons, the left there have won the election in france but the are physically very difficult political situation, and they —— a very different political situation? situation, and they -- a very different political situation? yes, the first round _ different political situation? yes, the first round of— different political situation? yes,

the first round of the _ different political situation? ies the first round of the selection, the first round of the selection, the national rally 13a% of the vote, everything was looking good a week ago —— won 3a% of the vote. then they end up with precisely nothing. it was roundly beaten yesterday because of this alliance of the other parties, the front republican front, as they court, which came together to keep them out, they are out of power, and as we saw in that report, that is a big relief to the left. but there is no prospect of anything except more confusion, i think, in the weeks and months ahead. we have a parliament split pretty much evenly between three blocks, left, right, far right and centre, all these three blocks to test each other, and they cannot govern it by forming an alliance with the other, so we are set for a long period of negotiations to form a coalition around french president emmanuel macron's party, who comes out of this in the end, not that

"tourists go home." it is one of a number of cities where high tourist numbers have led to a backlash among some residents. hurricane beryl is lashing parts of the usa and mexico with high winds and heavy rain, days after it caused havoc across the carribean. evacuation orders have been issued for several coastal areas of texas, and thousands have been left without power as the storm heads north. from central america, here's our correspondent, will grant. after beryl wrought havoc in the caribbean and mexico last week, now the united states is feeling the effects of this uniquely early, uncommonly powerful storm. as the hurricane's outer bands of rain lashed parts of the texas coastline, forecasters warned of the potential for dangerous storm surges in corpus christi and galveston.

packing sustained high winds of around 70mph, several counties have issued evacuation orders, and thousands could be left without power, even in and around houston. just know it's going to be wet, it's going to be windy, and it's going to be dangerous. do not go out between 12 midnight and 12 noon tomorrow. ahead of hurricane beryl making landfall, texans made last—minute preparations. homes have been boarded up, storm shutters put in place, and many residents have stocked up on petrol for their generators and other vital supplies. this is actually the first hurricane i'm going to be experiencing. i mean, we go through this all - the time, every time there's a storm out there, like i said, you know, and everybody gets kind of crazy and, you know, you've got to kind of prepare for the worst, - you know, hope for the best. as the storm moved through the region, it has strengthened and weakened. at one stage, it was the earliest category five storm in atlantic hurricane history.

experts say the warming of the oceans caused by human activity has made recent hurricane seasons busier and more intense than ever. by the time it struck mexico, it had lost some of its power. yet even here, including in the tourist resort of cancun, there was widespread flooding and power lines were brought down. the real damage, though, was in the caribbean. smaller islands, particularly off grenada and saint vincent and the grenadines, were left in ruins. at least ten people have been killed, and the cost of hurricane beryl across the region is vast. in response, the united nations has promised millions in emergency relief funds, but with some communities having lost almost everything, it may be years before they fully recover. will grant, bbc news, mexico. two pistols owned by the french

emperor napoleon bonaparte have been sold at auction for £1.a million. the guns, inlaid with gold and silver, were designated national treasures ahead of the sale and so cannot leave the country. good morning. while we in the uk are shovelling, in las vegas yesterday afternoon, the temperature reached 120 fahrenheit, just short of a9 celsius, and it is an all—time temperature record for a las vegas. but for us, it will be a cool day once again today for the time of year, but beautiful weather watcher picture sent in earlier. some do

bearin picture sent in earlier. some do bear in mind if you have an allergy to pollen today, it is high or moderate across many parts of the uk. we are starting off on a nippy note, again a lot of dry weather, some scattered showers, further showers developing today across parts of scotland, some of them slow—moving because there's not much wind, but in between, some sunshine, a few showers in northern ireland and northern england, but again sums in between, but ahead of this rain coming in from the south—west, the cloud will build and we will see a few showers which could affect wimbledon. as the rain comes in from the south—west, the wind will start to strengthen as well, and all of us will move northwards through the course of the night, some of the rain and heavy, clear skies further north, but generally speaking, it will not be as cold a start to the day tomorrow as this morning. temperatures seven to around 1a or 15 celsius. then as we go through tomorrow, the rain continues to advance northwards, still some

heavier bursts in it as it moves across northern england, southern scotland, and also northern ireland. to the north, a couple showers, but here we will see the spells of sunshine. to the south, behind the rain, brightening up but a few showers, some sunny spells as well. a weather front very close to the south—east, which could bring in some rain at times, and you will notice it all starts to feel humid, temperatures 13 in the north to about 20 depending on the amount of sunshine we see has become further south. carol, thank you very much indeed for now. the time is 7.20.

the general election saw the conservative party face its worst defeat in its parliamentary history, with more than 200 mps losing their seats. rishi sunak has already announced that he will step down as party leader following the results — but no—one has formally announced one of those surviving mps is former business minister kevin hollinrake mp. i think most people on the doorsteps were very clear about what we got wrong, we made some mistakes but also most people recognised we did some good stuff as well. particularly through the covid crisis and the gust of living crisis, all of those things, we help people to a significant degree. but we paid the price, we have to accept the fact that we got things wrong, particularly on migration, we need to control migration more effectively, both legal and illegal migration, that came across very clearly. what we have to do in the next few months is on a proper look at all this and decide how we present our phone back to the british public, and how we unite

behind a new clearer, that is critically important, then we can present a challenge to co—star starmer label government in 2029, which i think we can very successfully do. one thing you saw on the doorstep, reflected in the opinion polls, was that there is no great appetite for sir keir starmer, it was not that he won the selection, we lost it, and we have to rebuild. he selection, we lost it, and we have to rebuild-— selection, we lost it, and we have to rebuild. :, :, :: :: , ., , to rebuild. he won over 400 seats, so he did a — to rebuild. he won over 400 seats, so he did a good — to rebuild. he won over 400 seats, so he did a good job _ to rebuild. he won over 400 seats, so he did a good job as _ to rebuild. he won over 400 seats, so he did a good job as far - to rebuild. he won over 400 seats, so he did a good job as far as i to rebuild. he won over 400 seats, so he did a good job as far as the i so he did a good job as far as the election is concerned. how quickly kennedy grouping happen, how quickly do you choose new clearer? he kennedy grouping happen, how quickly do you choose new clearer?— do you choose new clearer? he also tot less do you choose new clearer? he also got less than _ do you choose new clearer? he also got less than 3496 _ do you choose new clearer? he also got less than 3496 of _ do you choose new clearer? he also got less than 3496 of the _ do you choose new clearer? he also got less than 3496 of the vote i do you choose new clearer? he also | got less than 3496 of the vote share, got less than 3a% of the vote share, the lowest ever for any government forming a majority, so there's very little appetite for keir starmer, i think, we lost it rather than he won it. over the next few months we have to deflect very carefully and that, i think it will be towards the end of the year before we put a new clearer in place, i do think there's

any rush, we need a proper discussion, a proper debate, the new clearer needs to set out how we are going to move that course to lower migration and taxation, and tackle some of the political and cultural ideology we are seeing in our society. i think if we do all those things, we can present that very cogent challenge to be a labour government in 2029. i am very optimistic and energised by that prospect. optimistic and energised by that ttrosect. :, �* :, ~' optimistic and energised by that ”resect. ., �* ., ~ ., optimistic and energised by that ttrosect. :, �* :, ,, ., ., prospect. you're talking about a new clearer been — prospect. you're talking about a new clearer been chosen _ prospect. you're talking about a new clearer been chosen by _ prospect. you're talking about a new clearer been chosen by the - prospect. you're talking about a new clearer been chosen by the end i prospect. you're talking about a new clearer been chosen by the end of i clearer been chosen by the end of the year, clearly there is already jockeying for position going on. you were a supporter of rishi sunak. is there anyone looking at all those people, that is likely to put themselves forward that you would say, they potentially have what it takes to bring the conservative party and make it an electoral force once again?— party and make it an electoral force once again? some very good people throuuh once again? some very good people through their _ once again? some very good people through their had _ once again? some very good people through their had in _ once again? some very good people through their had in the _ once again? some very good people through their had in the rain, - once again? some very good people through their had in the rain, i'm . through their had in the rain, i'm sure, but nobody has yet and it would be wrong to pre—empt that, but i think the process is very clear, i don't think we should change the

process about how we select our new clearer, it is the parliamentary party to decide who the two best alternatives are, then we present that to the membership and that will be done over the next few months. as i say, i don't think we should start that process until around september and concluded by the end of the year, that person will then have every opportunity to make their case, to be membership and to the electorate, about why we think we are the right people to do what the public wants, which i think is very clearly lower taxation, lower migration, and to tackle some of these wiltshire wars we have in our society, and i don't think anybody really thinks that the labour party on the right people to do that, i think their situation will not improve in the next five years, but i would say to people, don't leave the country, it will be fine, we will get back and we will deal with the stuff in the next few years and we will hold the labour party to account for what they do. and i think that is the job of the new clearer, to lead a united

conservative party through to give that challenge and to present a cogent alternative over the next five years and particularly in 2029. let's talk about your former brief. bbc breakfast viewers will know you very well, you took part in some fairly lengthy discussions on this programme about the post office, as post office minister. how much will you be able to work with the new post office minister, when you are here on bbc breakfast we asked you about this, we asked about what would happen if the conservatives lost the election, and you said at that point that you continue to work, and you will keep on that brief and work with the new minister. do you stand by that, is that your plan? {iii minister. do you stand by that, is that your plan?— minister. do you stand by that, is that your plan? of course. there is no doubt all _ that your plan? of course. there is no doubt all the _ that your plan? of course. there is no doubt all the way _ that your plan? of course. there is no doubt all the way through - that your plan? of course. there is no doubt all the way through my i that your plan? of course. there is | no doubt all the way through my ten year, and indeed my predecessor's ten year, as post office minister, we have tried to make this non—adversarial within parliament, we tried to work collaboratively, which we did, and johnny reynolds,

the business secretary, i work very closely with and i offered him my support, i have contacted him already to see if they need any help we are very happy to offer that. the most important thing we can do now is to provide the address to the people who have been so badly mistreated dude and this horrendous scandal and to make sure people are held to account for what went wrong. one of the last things we did in the old parliament was to overturn around 700 convictions. that means compensation can flow to those people and to their families as quickly as possible, so much of the work has been done. the compensation schemes are working more effectively, i think alan bates, in what he said to the press when he accepted his knighthood, he said we are a lot further on than we were, which i very much welcome his sentiments on that. so i don't

expect there will be any major now full compensation to flow to those individuals and their families, also to make sure that the breeze and the crown prosecution service bring charges to those responsible for the scandal in the first place. final question. _ scandal in the first place. final question, how _ scandal in the first place. final question, how positive - scandal in the first place. final question, how positive are - scandal in the first place. final question, how positive are you about the state of your party, looking ahead, looking at the strength of the reform challenge in your seat, where they came third, how confident are you for the next five years and when the conservatives will be in five years' time? i when the conservatives will be in five years' time?— five years' time? i think it is very important _ five years' time? i think it is very important we _ five years' time? i think it is very important we recognise - five years' time? i think it is very important we recognise the - five years' time? i think it is very important we recognise the skill| five years' time? i think it is very i important we recognise the skill of the defeat of what we got wrong, but given that, i am very optimistic, and energised by the opportunity —— the scale of the defeat. it is a blank canvas opportunity, we should recognise that we got some things right as well as wrong, but as i say, i think the critical things here that we heard on the doorstep time and time again was we promised to tackle migration, we haven't done that innately way people expected, we have put some measures in place,

the difficult thing around that is the difficult thing around that is the liberal left who opposed all the things we tried to do but we nevertheless got the legislation through in the end, the rwanda legislation, which has now been scrapped by the labour government, we need to revisit exactly how we are going to control the illegal migration and legal migration, and set out a course for how we can reduce taxes, manage our public services more effectively, all of those things we need to do, but we have time to do that now, and leadership of the most important thing in that aspect and i look forward very much to the conversations and debates over the next few months about how we can rebuild confidence among the british electorate for the conservative party, and i think we can. thank ou. as party, and i think we can. thank you- as he _ party, and i think we can. thank you- as he and _ party, and i think we can. thank you. as he and the _ party, and i think we can. thank| you. as he and the conservatives party, and i think we can. thank - you. as he and the conservatives get used to sitting on the other side of the commons, on the opposition benches, keir starmer�*s new labour cabinet is starting to wear out more detail about what they are going to do in power. today it will be the turn of the new chance we rachel reeves, who will give us a speech a

injune — that targeted pathology services provider synnovis. more than 6,000 appointments and procedures have had to be postponed across guys and st thomas' and king's college hospital nhs foundation trusts. nhs england maintains it is taking steps to address cybersecurity. but security experts say an upgrade is needed. in parts of the nhs, it's quite clear that some of the it is out of date. there was a report earlier this year saying that something like 8000 doctor years were spent waiting for computers to boot up and things like that. but in general, out of date it is very, very hard to protect. trying to improve and modernise the nhs it estate is probably the single most useful thing that we could do. the uk covid—i9 inquiry is in luton and is inviting people living there to share their experiences of the pandemic. during the peak of the outbreak the town had one of the highest infection

rates in the south east. the two—day event at the university of bedfordshire will feed into the covid inquiry without the formality of giving evidence or a public hearing. a nine—year—old from north—west london is set to make history as the youngest person ever to represent england internationally in any sport. bodhana from harrow has been selected to represent england in chess. and it all began four years ago with a gift left by a family friend. in one of the bags, i saw a chess board, and i was interested in the pieces. and so i wanted to use the pieces as toys. instead, my dad said that i could play the game, and then i started from there. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line but everything else is running well at the moment, of course we'll keep you updated on that throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kawser. hello there, good morning. well, it is quite unsettled this week as well.

it's a dry, bright start initially, though, but we are expecting more in the way of cloud this morning, and with it some outbreaks of showers. this cloud will continue to spread further north and eastwards as we head through the day. some of these showers, one or two of them may be heavy in places, but there will be dry weather in between, although it will be quite cloudy out there, and temperatures reaching around 16 to 18 celsius. cloudy for this evening too, and then we are going to start some outbreaks of rain arriving in this evening and overnight. some of this will be quite heavy, there may be the odd rumble of thunder. it should become a bit drier, though, by the end of the night for some of us, but staying mild. temperatures holding up at around 13 to iii celsius. this area of low pressure continues to shift north and eastwards, and for wednesday, there will be some further showers at times but more in the way of sunshine developing, and in the sunshine it could be quite warm, temperatures reaching around 22 celsius, maybe 23 degrees for some of us into the afternoon. still some showers to come, though, for the rest of the week. that's it from us for now. there's more on all these stories online and on the bbc news app. we'll be back in half an hour but for now i'll hand you back to jon and sarah.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sarah campbell. the chancellor will outline later how the new labour government plans to kick—start economic growth. rachel reeves is expected to announce some changes to planning rules, as well as a commitment to green energy and building one and a half million new homes. we're joined now by darrenjones, chief secretary to the treasury. good morning. are you getting used to the title yet? it’s good morning. are you getting used to the title yet?— to the title yet? it's nice to have dro ed to the title yet? it's nice to have dropped the _ to the title yet? it's nice to have dropped the shadow, _ to the title yet? it's nice to have dropped the shadow, yes! - to the title yet? it's nice to have dropped the shadow, yes! out i to the title yet? it's nice to have | dropped the shadow, yes! out of to the title yet? it's nice to have - dropped the shadow, yes! out of the shadows, dropped the shadow, yes! out of the shadows. and _ dropped the shadow, yes! out of the shadows, and down _ dropped the shadow, yes! out of the shadows, and down to _ dropped the shadow, yes! out of the shadows, and down to business. - dropped the shadow, yes! out of the j shadows, and down to business. and you are all going to be busy and you are promising growth, which is a little word, but a very, very big

challenge, so to our viewers this morning, how are you going to get the economy growing? hath? morning, how are you going to get the economy growing?— the economy growing? why is this important? _ the economy growing? why is this important? it _ the economy growing? why is this important? it is _ the economy growing? why is this important? it is important - the economy growing? why is this| important? it is important because if the economy is firing on all cylinders, people will see great jobs, with great pay improving, business is making profit and tax contributions as they do to help fund public services. the fact of the matter is over the last ill years because of all the chaos and division, the country has either bumped along the bottom in terms of growth or going backwards into recession. if we had grown at the average rate of the wealthy countries in the world over that period of time, we will have had over £50 billion more each year to pay for public services and we don't as a consequence of that failure to get growth into the economy. that's why the chancellor rachel reeves today in her first intervention is setting out how their first and most important mission in government is to get growth back in the economy so we can have secure and sustainable public finances again.— public finances again. nobody is

doubtin: public finances again. nobody is doubting it _ public finances again. nobody is doubting it is — public finances again. nobody is doubting it is important, - public finances again. nobody is doubting it is important, but - public finances again. nobody is | doubting it is important, but how are you going to deliver it? there is a whole — are you going to deliver it? there is a whole host _ are you going to deliver it? there is a whole host of— are you going to deliver it? there is a whole host of measures - are you going to deliver it? there is a whole host of measures that| is a whole host of measures that need to be taken, and the reason for the mission speech today to set out the mission speech today to set out the immediate steps that the chancellor and our colleagues around the cabinet table are going to take to stimulate growth and it will take some time to come through the system. these things do not happen overnight. what we want is for infrastructure to be built, housing to be built, the energy system to be more sustainable so prices do not fluctuate as they have done in the past, and for the success that we want to see four people and businesses across the country so people are better off and the economy is better off. you talk about building _ economy is better off. you talk about building houses. - economy is better off. you talk about building houses. looking through the papers this morning, a lot of them saying you are going to be building potentially hundreds of thousands of new homes on green belt land, which will be a great concern to a lot of people watching this morning especially in rural areas. how do you reassure them? hate morning especially in rural areas. how do you reassure them? we set out durin: the how do you reassure them? we set out during the election _ how do you reassure them? we set out during the election campaign _ how do you reassure them? we set out during the election campaign our - during the election campaign our definition of what we called grey belt which is areas of the country

which are not areas of natural beauty, but they are currently defined, oddly, as green belt and therefore you cannot get development of the ground in those areas. we think there is some redefinition that can be done there as well as broader planning reform as you will hear more about later today which can unlock development of housing in areas where we need it the most. and whether it is first time buyers try to get on the housing ladder, people waking —— waiting for secure housing social housing, or even areas where there is an opportunity for economic growth to be put back into the economy, housing development is an important lever to make that happen for them. hate important lever to make that happen for them. ~ ., ., ., for them. we have heard about brownfield _ for them. we have heard about brownfield sites _ for them. we have heard about brownfield sites that _ for them. we have heard about brownfield sites that might - for them. we have heard about brownfield sites that might be l for them. we have heard about - brownfield sites that might be used for building, old industrial sites. i'm intrigued by grey belt, it will look different in different areas of the country but what might grey belt look like? pm the country but what might grey belt look like? �* ., , ., look like? an example we gave in the election campaign _ look like? an example we gave in the election campaign was _ look like? an example we gave in the election campaign was in _ look like? an example we gave in the election campaign was in tottenham, | election campaign was in tottenham, where there was a former petrol

station forecourt which for historic reasons was within the boundaries defined as green belt. clearly, that isn't the case. it was being used to anything, it could be used to put housing on, or other useful bits of infrastructure. there are lots of pockets of these types of pieces of land pockets of these types of pieces of [and across the country which are currently distending empty, not serving any purpose weather for the natural environment or for development and local needs, that we need to be able to unlock to get that investment into the country and those houses being built. you that investment into the country and those houses being built.— those houses being built. you are makin: those houses being built. you are making that _ those houses being built. you are making that sound _ those houses being built. you are making that sound very _ making that sound very straightforward but all of those new mps of yours will soon start getting letters from constituents who do not once certain pockets of land letters from constituents who do not once certain pockets of [and built once certain pockets of [and built on for lots of different reasons and all the sudden it is not so easy. local communities will still be part of the planning process, applications will still be made and consulted on and people will be able to contribute thoughts and feedback

about our keep focuses on speeding up about our keep focuses on speeding up the planning system. inertia has stopped investors spending money on the uk and building the infrastructure that we need. local communities will still be an important part of that and they will have a right of having their say protected in law. the conservative pa had protected in law. the conservative party had said _ protected in law. the conservative party had said they _ protected in law. the conservative party had said they are _ protected in law. the conservative party had said they are going - protected in law. the conservative party had said they are going to i party had said they are going to have quite a long leadership campaign, they are saying that this money, they might not have someone else in charge until early next year and they are in limbo in the meantime. there could be some consent from our viewers this morning who think that labour are just going to get into —— some concern from our view is that labour are going to get into government and rush through plans without without much opposition. what do you say to people who wanted to be challenged in the house of commons are notjust railroad the system? {iii in the house of commons are not 'ust railroad the system?i railroad the system? of course we will be challenged _ railroad the system? of course we will be challenged the _ railroad the system? of course we will be challenged the house i railroad the system? of course we will be challenged the house of i will be challenged the house of commons, the conservatives had a historic loss but that doesn't mean

there is no opposition in the house of commons and we have the house of lords to as well. the key thing for the labour government is we will return to the service of the british people but also to the norms, the adults are back in the room. announcements that we make will be made to parliament, they will follow proper process through parliament and we welcome them to be challenged and we welcome them to be challenged and scrutinised by colleagues from different parties, that is the right a proper way to do this business and thatis a proper way to do this business and that is what you will have from the labour government. you appreciate that although _ labour government. you appreciate that although the _ labour government. you appreciate that although the headline - labour government. you appreciate that although the headline number| labour government. you appreciate i that although the headline number of seats that you did win as labour is enormous and you have a big majority, in terms of the share of the vote, across the country, that wasn't so impressive, under 40% of people actually voted for you. i find this argument quite amusing. we may have had more people in if you wish —— fewer seats voting for us but we had historic losses and we were nowhere near getting into power. this is a once in a

generation historic victory for the labour party and for our prime minister keir starmer with that enormous majority, larger than even i was expecting when the exit poll landed at tempe on thursday. we are delighted by the mandate that we have received from the british people across the whole of the united kingdom, and we are excited to implement our manifesto of quick change and unleash a decade of national renewal with the consent on monday from people across the country. monday from people across the count . ,., , , country. our inbox is filling up with questions _ country. our inbox is filling up with questions from _ country. our inbox is filling up with questions from our i country. our inbox is filling up i with questions from our viewers wanting to know what you're going to do on this and that subject. public sector pay, more money forjunior doctors, is there going to be enough money to stop them taking more industrial action? the money to stop them taking more industrial action?— industrial action? the health secretary — industrial action? the health secretary wes _ industrial action? the health secretary wes streeting i industrial action? the health. secretary wes streeting made industrial action? the health i secretary wes streeting made one industrial action? the health - secretary wes streeting made one of his first calls to the bma over the weekend. he is meeting withjunior doctor representatives i think tomorrow the health department and we want to get a deal done and sorted so we can getjunior doctors

england supporters arrived here ahead of the huge semifinal to come in this year's euros against the netherlands. a massive moment, when it all come togetherfor netherlands. a massive moment, when it all come together for england at the tournament now to book themselves a place in the final? we shall see. reflecting as well on a big moment as well for racing fans. and in particular lewis hamilton who stood on top of the podium yesterday at the british grand prix, becoming the first driver to win nine races at a single circuit. he ended a 9a5—day wait for victory in formula one as he won a thrilling british grand prix at silverstone. he held off a late charge from max verstappen. it is his 104th win and he becomes the outright record holder for victory at a single circuit. this is my last race here at the british grand prix with this team so, i wanted to win this so much for them

because i love them, i appreciate them so much, all the hard work that they've been putting in over these years. i'm forever grateful to everyone in this team, everyone at mercedes and all of our partners. and otherwise, to all our incredible fans. i could see you lap by lap as i was coming round, and there's just no greater feeling as to finish at the front here. wasn't he emotional? there was a hug from hollywood royalty as well in the shape of brad pitt who was there in the pit lane to greet him afterwards. heading into the second week of wimbledon today. plenty of big names still involved at wimbledon we head into the second week including novak djokovic. there won't be any british players involved in the singles as emma raducanu bowed out. the former us open champion was the only briton remaining in either the women's or the men's singles draw but she fell to defeat to the unseeded lulu sun of new zealand in three sets on centre court. that ends british interest in the singles. in the men's draw, defending

champion carlos alcaraz is through to the quarterfinals, beating france's ugo humbert in four sets. he faces 12th seed tommy paul next after the american overcame roberto bautista agut of spain in straight sets. i'm feeling great on the court, i think i'm getting better and better. i'm feeling really comfortable on the court, hitting good points, good shots, so hopefully keep going. world number one and top seed jannik sinner is also through to the last eight, he beat american ben shelton in straight sets — he'll play fifth seed danill medvedev next with a potential semifinal against alcaraz looming on the horizon. novak djokovic is in action today. the serb is 37 and you'd think would be keen to preserve as much energy as possible but not a bit of it. here was djokovic on his day off helping to uncover the practice courts

before he could tune up for facing norwegain holger rune as he seeks an eighth wimbledon crown. good to see him playing a part there before his big match! tom pidcock came within inches of winning his second stage at the tour de france, but was beaten on the line by frenchman anthony turgis. tadej pogacar keeps the yellow jersey and his 33 second lead after a breathless battle with his rivals, on the gravel of stage nine. the stage finish came down to a six—man sprint from a breakaway group, pidcock slamming his handlebars in frustration after turgis did just enough to beat him. just ahead of him there. they all count, it doesn't matter how you do

it but get over the line and that is what he did there. it feels as though that is what england have been doing at this tournament so far. we have seen a late equaliser, penalty shoot—out, but it too heading into the semifinal having watched gareth southgate out on the pitch celebrating with his players, singing along with the fans, it feels a little bit more harmonious. it feels like that togetherness has grown which has not always been the case at the tournament. and perhaps signs that things are just coming together at the right time for england at this tournament. the semifinal is to come. roll england at this tournament. the semifinal is to come.— semifinal is to come. roll on wednesday. _ semifinal is to come. roll on wednesday, or— semifinal is to come. roll on wednesday, or maybe i semifinal is to come. roll on wednesday, or maybe not! i semifinal is to come. roll on i wednesday, or maybe not! can we cope! let's get an update on the weather now with carol, i don't know where that has been pitched over the last few days, i cannot keep up. for that has been pitched over the last few days, i cannot keep up. far from erfect. few days, i cannot keep up. far from perfect- but — few days, i cannot keep up. far from perfect. but glorious _ few days, i cannot keep up. far from perfect. but glorious blue _ few days, i cannot keep up. far from perfect. but glorious blue skies i perfect. but glorious blue skies here. yes, we are going to be talking about las vegas yesterday, an

all—time record yesterday, 48.9 celsius, 120 fahrenheit. to show you what the local weather service did, a bit of and experiment, they all melted in the heat, hardly surprising with that heat. it isn't the highest temperature ever recorded on earth, that was way back on the 10th ofjuly1913 when in death valley in california the temperature reached 56.7 celsius. makes you quite glad that we are shivering here, would not like temperatures like that! we have a lot of clear skies this morning, scattered showers dotted around and through the day you will find the cloud is building with some showers ahead of the next band of wet and windy weather coming our way. temperatures, 12 to 21 celsius. as we head through the evening and overnight, the rain will continue to

march steadily northwards, preceded by a band of cloud. some clear skies ahead, some showers tending to fade ahead, some showers tending to fade ahead of it and the overnight lows between eight and 14 degrees. into tomorrow, heavy rain to be had are pushing north across northern england, northern england, out of wales and into southern scotland. the brightest conditions will be across the far north of scotland, where we will hang on to the sunshine for longest but behind the band of rain it will brighten up, there will still be showers dotted around which could affect wimbledon and you can see this little runner close to east anglia could bring in some rain at times. you will also notice it will feel humid behind the weather front, notice it will feel humid behind the weatherfront, 13 notice it will feel humid behind the weather front, 13 to 21 depending notice it will feel humid behind the weatherfront, 13 to 21 depending on how much sunshine we see. as we go to the rest of the week, it remains unsettled and feeling cool for the time of year. 0k, ok, those pictures from las vegas reminded me when i was ten years

jo, lovely to meet you. nice to meet you! where are we, what is this place? we are in surrey and we're at the wildlife hospital for wildlife a&es. lead the way, show me around. come and meet the wildlife. so what's this about? well, i've been volunteering for about ten weeks now, and i'm training to, well, i'm training in animal husbandry, and i'm training to become a wildlife care assistant. it's all for a forthcoming tv series, butjo really is putting in the hours with what is a sort of a&e for foxes, hedgehogs and even pigeons. so did you honestlyjust say you triaged a pigeon? yes, i've triaged many things now. can we go and see a hedgehog, please? yes, of course, follow me! i love a hedgehog. ok, so this is the little hutch here. these are all the little hutches. mel, can i have the gauntlets? there we are.

0h! when i first started, i was told that it's, obviously it's wildlife and lots of animals come in and it's not always happy endings, because it's nature and nature is hard and nature is cruel, so you are encouraged not to bond with them. you know, you come here... but you have, haven't you? well, obviously i have! he's doing ok, isn't he? oh, he's doing incredibly well. i've never asked this question before. yeah? could i hold your hedgehog? yeah! right, ok, we've got some movement here. there we are. and so began a crash course in hedgehog handling. jo's quite the expert with our prickly friends. there we go, that's it, you got him. i'm not going to drop... fantastic. i've got a little bit of... here we go. i'll put that out. this is a very special moment. there we go. i've never held a hedgehog before. isn't it the most wonderful thing? i so want one in my garden. don't you feel actually so privileged to be able to have this opportunity of being so close to wildlife and to

a little hedgehog? it's just wonderful. i'm enjoying myself too much here. and after we returned alan, it was time for pigeon rehab. bye, alan. wait until you see these pigeons. so lovely, so lovely. pigeons? no—one cares about pigeons. do you know what, right? i really enjoyed cleaning all of the pigeons' cages and then putting new newspaper down and theirfood in. you're a bit odd, aren't you? well, no, i enjoy doing that because you can sort some house out and a pigeon will appreciate it, whereas when i do it for my four children at home, i genuinely don't think they appreciate it. the pigeons give you more love than the kids? the pigeons do, i think the pigeons give me more respect than the kids! but enough of pigeons. time for the important questions. how have you ended up doing this? i've always loved animals, i mean, always loved animals. it's not your dayjob, though, is it, this? no, my dayjob is an actress and a mother of four. can you believe we're actually gonna meet tomorrow? it's only 17 hours to go now, babes. which takes us to stacey,

of gavin and stacey. i'm tracking something, i am. we've followed jo and the rest of the cast over 18 years and this christmas, we're going to finally see a resolution to this cliff—hanger. i loves you. with all my heart. and more than 18 million of us watched nessa proposed to smithy. we've only had to wait. will you marry me? what? five years, isn't it? i know, well, i'm the same as everybody else back home. i can't wait to find out what's happened, because i remember all those years ago reading the script for the last special, and i was doing it on my phone, and i got to the end, and then it says, "nessa goes down on one knee and says, you know, will you marry me?" i can't remember what she says. and i remember going on scrolling and going, what, what? it can't be the end, it can't be the end. what does he say, what does he say? so i'm the same as everybody.

what happens... you must know. no, don't know anything. not even seen a script. so ijust hope, because i've not seen anything, that that i haven't, you know, signed on to be running around on barry beach in a bikini because i'm not doing that at the age of 47! oh, my goodness, how old are you? i reckon i'm about 17. which would put me around the 35 mark. it's going to be so funny getting us all together again and just seeing what we're all like, and we have, we've alljust grown up and, yeah. did you have any clue when it first started? when i read it, i thought it was just so well written and it made me laugh. but when i read the part all those years ago, i thought, "oh, my gosh, nobody else can play this, this is me. this is my family." so, she's so close to me that ifeel very, you know, very happy playing stacey. that's why it's special, is because everyone recognises their own family somewhere in it, don't they? yes, yes. there are so many things that uncle bryn has said that i thought, "oh, my gosh, my dad has said that or my uncle has." and now as i'm getting older,

i hear myself say things and i think, oh my god, uncle bryn would say that. for the time has come. you don't have to do this, bryn. not on christmas! christmas, schmistmas. i know you know something. i genuinely don't. i bet you do. honestly, i cross my heart. there's no—one listening, there's no—one listening here. cross my heart, i can't even tell you anything. cross my heart, literally know nothing. i cannot give you anything at all. well, you're definitely in it, aren't you? i can tell you i am in it, yes! that's not much of a spoiler, is it? i am in it. that's all? that's it, that's all i can say, that's it. i don't think that's much. jo, this has been the most joyous, joyous time. so lovely! and i promise you, i haven't got a hedgehog in here. well, i think i need to search you before you leave. thank you very much for helping me with the animals but you will be searched before you leave. because i wouldn't be surprised if you smuggled a hedgehog out!

it's monday 8th july. the new prime minister, sir keir starmer is beginning his first full week in power, with his cabinet making a series of announcements on health, education, immigration and the economy. it's going to be a very busy week — let's see what it will look like for the new government. the prime minister is continiong his tour of the uk nations today, with a trip to belfast and cardiff, after spending yesterday in scotland. then the new parliament sits for the first time tomorrow, and one of its tasks is to elect the speaker of the house of commons. sir keir starmer is then due to fly to washington for the nato leaders' summit, where he'll meet us president, joe biden, and reaffirm the uk's

support for ukraine. the king's speech is expected to take place on 17thjuly — setting out the government's legislative programme and priorities. king charles will read the speech in the house of lords, marking the state opening of parliament. here's our political correspondent hannah miller. the photo opportunities of office as keir starmer tours the four nations, starting in scotland, and heading to belfast and cardiff today. with the scottish first minister, he discussed grangemouth oil refinery, saying talks would start immediately over its future, with hundreds ofjobs under threat at the site. the point of this meeting was to reset the relationship in a respectful way, in a constructive way, and to recognise that on the economy, on energy, and very pressingly on grangemouth, there's room for us to have a constructive way of delivering for very many people across scotland. with the house of commons about to be filled with fresh faces, cornwall�*s four new labour mps set off together on their way to london. this is where new mps come when they arrive in westminster,

to pick up their passes and be buddied up with someone that knows their way around. more than half of them have never been an mp before, so today is essentially a day to settle in before parliamentary business starts tomorrow. education secretary bridget phillipson has already got started, saying she's getting on with recruiting 6,500 new teachers and promising to meet with unions in the coming days. and home secretary yvette cooper announced what she called a major upgrade to border enforcement, with recruitment for a new border security commander to tackle smuggling gangs under way. but she refused to put a timeline on when the crossings will fall. we want to make progress as rapidly as possible in getting the law enforcement arrangements in place. we do inherit a problem from the conservatives, where border crossings have gone up in the first half of this year, and that's why the law enforcement is so important, because these criminal gangs are getting away with it. they are undermining border security and they are putting lives at risk.

today, rachel reeves is set to make herfirst major speech as chancellor, in which she'll say there is no time to waste to rebuild the country's economy. that is without a doubt the message the government is trying to send as its first full week in office begins. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster. as we have been hearing, the prime minister has now arrived in northern ireland where he is missing because of the power—sharing executive. our ireland correspondent sara girvinjoins us now from stormont. sara, what can we expect from today's meeting? he will be meeting the first minister and the deputy first minister and the deputy first minister before coming here to parliament buildings admitting more

members. he has promised that stability and certainty will be at the centre of his government's priorities when it comes to northern ireland, alluding to the fact that stormont has not sat for five out of the past seven years, he will not want another collapse on his watch. funding will be another issue discussed, how much is given to public services, and he has said that this tour the uk is enough to reset relations within the nations. the resetting of relationships will take a long time in the weeks and months ahead, a lot of work to do and that begins this morning.

back in westminster, rachel reeves, is expected to promise to make kick—starting economic growth a "national mission" — in her first speech as chancellor later. as part of an overhaul of planning rules, she will also announce to bring back compulsory house building targets. our economic editor faisal islam has more. the new chancellor and her team at the treasury worked through the weekend on an immediate offerfor business leaders and investors. in a speech later this morning, rachel reeves will tell them that the era of chaos and irresponsibility is over, a reference to the years of brexit and mini budget uncertainty. she will announce some immediate loosening of planning red tape, hoping to see investors unleash tens of billions of pounds of investment in green industry and building 1.5 million new homes. it includes mandatory house—building targets. the labour manifesto also pointed to development on so—called grey belt, already built—on parts of protected green belt, and the moratorium on onshore wind power is expected to be lifted. all of these measures have faced protests in local communities and weren't introduced

by the previous government. just after last week's election, ms reeves told the bbc she knows and expects this to be a politicalflashpoint. we're willing to have that fight because unless we can unlock that investment, unless we can reform our planning system to be able to do that, we're going to be stuck in this doom loop of high taxes, low growth, and poor public services. we've got to break out of that doom loop. the chancellor will not yet announce new tax and spend measures. she will meet this week with the office of budget responsibility, and a budget and spending review is expected in the autumn. today, the chancellor will say there's no time to waste as she seeks a big bang on planning to get britain building again. faisal islam, bbc news. we'rejoined now from downing street by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. the new government is packing a lot in, but how important are these first few days in setting the tone for how labour intends to govern?

in politics as in life, you only get one chance to make a first impression, and it is clear that sir keir starmer and his new team want that first impression to all be about energy, to announce lots of things to do. . they know that they have been swept into the buildings behind me on a wave of frustration, even anger, with the conservative party. they want to show that they have the ideas in the energy to fix what many people see as the problems with this country. the other thing is that now is a good time for them to do controversial things. no government is in a more powerful than the moment after it is elected, the moments when it's mps are still well disposed towards them. this is a time when labour mps are just happy and excited to be here, rather than thinking about ways they might disagree with the government's agenda. that is why you are seeing

potentially controversial announcements on planning reform from rachel reeves to be. and keir starmer is busy today, he is in northern ireland and wales today. tomorrow he heads to washington, dc for his first international summit as prime minister, a nato summit. if the labour government get the next few days right, it means they could enjoy a good wave of popularity as they enter office. if they get them wrong, things could sour quite fast. thanks, henry. there has been another election across the channel, and french people digesting those results. france is facing political deadlock after parliamentary elections dealt a shock blow to the far—right national rally, and left no party with a majority in the country's national assembly. official results show a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, with french president

emmanuel macron's centrist alliance coming second, and marine le pen's right—wing party in surprise third place. our correspondent mark lowen has the story. where does this leave france this morning? where does this leave france this mornin: ? ., where does this leave france this mornin-? ., , where does this leave france this mornin,? ., , , where does this leave france this mornin-? ., , , , morning? dazed and confused, is very difficult situation _ morning? dazed and confused, is very difficult situation which _ morning? dazed and confused, is very difficult situation which nobody - morning? dazed and confused, is very difficult situation which nobody can i difficult situation which nobody can see a way out of. i think that what happened yesterday was because the far right field to meet its expectations, to say the least, the voters turned away from it in big numbers, so as a result you have this left—wing alliance which is leading the biggest force in parliament now, the situation in parliament now, the situation in parliament which is blocked, there is no one party in the national assembly which is able to command a majority. we have three blocks, the left, the centre, and the far right,

all of which have come out with about 150 seats, none of which will be able to form a majority, which means we will enter in one period of haggling and confusion before we have any government here in france. thank you very much for now. thousands of people lined the streets in leeds yesterday for the funeral of the late rugby league legend rob burrow. the former leeds rhinos star died on 2nd june at the age of 41, having spent his last years raising awareness of motor neurone disease. his funeral was held in private, but members of the public were encouraged to line the route of his final journey, with many throwing flowers. hurricane beryl is lashing parts of the usa and mexico with high winds and heavy rain, days after it caused havoc across the carribean.

evacuation orders have been issued for several coastal areas of texas, and thousands have been left without power as the storm heads north. india's prime minister narendra modi arrives in moscow today, to hold talks with russian president vladimir putin. it will be mr modi's first trip to the country since it invaded ukraine, having last visited moscow in 2015. our russia editor steve rosenberg joins us now. steve, how significant is this visit? it is certainly important for vladimir putin, it is another opportunity for the kremlin leader to claim that attempt by the west to isolate him over the war in ukraine have failed. you will remember last month vladimir putin was in north korea and vietnam, last week he was in kazakhstan, meeting the president of china and turkey. last week, the hungarian prime minister viktor orban flew to moscow for talks do

you have the lid of the world's most populous nation in one of the fastest growing economies flying to moscow with talks to him, sitting down to do deals with him. isolation? what isolation? i think vladimir putin and narendra modi will be talking trade and talking about boosting economic ties. already russia sense usable huge volumes of oil to india at a discount —— russia sends huge volumes of oil. but there's also a geopolitical aspect to this as well for narendra modi, because india is watching and it can see that relations between moscow and beijing are getting deeper, are getting stronger, and that makes india nervous, because india's relationship with china has been quite tense. so i think the indian premier still want to make sure during his talks here that the russia china relationship does not adversely affect the relations between russia and india. hater? between russia and india. very interesting. _ between russia and india. very interesting, steve, _ between russia and india. very interesting, steve, thank-

between russia and india. very interesting, steve, thank you very much indeed. a lot of football fans go to extreme lengths to watch their team, and for england fanjames corden, it meant that not even a starring role on the stage would get in the way. the play was due to start at the same time as the england penalty shoot—out against switzerland, but instead of starting the show, james corden went on stage and watch the sporting drama with the audience and his fellow cast members. might have changed the mood if it had gone in the other direction, but james was certainly happy and i'm sure most of the audience were as well. it is

8.17, time to check in with carol to find out what the weather has in store. today a mixture of bright spells, sunny spells, and a few showers, but wet and windy conditions coming in from the south—west. if you have an allergy to pollen, the levels today are widely moderate or indeed high. starting in some showers across scotland, we also have some showers coming across parts of southern england ahead of a band of rain which are going to turn heavier through the course of the day, and it will be moving northwards, so a lot of cloud women into the south with those showers, could well affect wimbledon through the course of the morning. some shown outbreaks of the morning. some shown outbreaks of rain behind it, and ahead of it, a lot of dry weather and fewer showers, so well scattered across north wales, northern england, northern ireland, but perhaps a bit more prolific across the north of scotland. come and they will be slow here as well, because not much wind to move them along. rain started to

come in, temperatures 12 to about 21 celsius. through this evening on overnight, then continues to march northwards, heavy in places, some clear skies with the shower failing i had of it, not as chilly as last night, then to moderate the rain continues to move north. the best of the driest weather will be across the driest weather will be across the north of scotland, where we see some sunshine and just few showers. humid conditions following behind, but the chance of someone clipping the far south—east through the day. carol, thank you, see you again a bit later. the election of a labour government

means a host of new policies and priorities in westminster, but campaigners who had been pushing the previous government to make changes to the law will be hoping the new government will still listen to them. three of those wanting to share what they'd like to see from the new government are figen murray, meena naram, and kwajo tweneboa. they alljoin us now. your son was killed in the manchester arena bombing, you have spent seven years campaigning to get the law changed. how difficult is that when you have been working with one government to have to switch to a new one, bearing in mind you have made those connections and had those conversations? i made those connections and had those conversations?— conversations? i have met many politicians _ conversations? i have met many politicians from _ conversations? i have met many politicians from the _ conversations? i have met manyj politicians from the conservative party over the years, and it has been very slow, as you said it has been very slow, as you said it has been many years, but i am hopeful

still campaigning, he still managed to find time to get a letter to me, both politically and personally that he is pledging to get martin's walked on, and thank me for the letter about the charter. so i feel positive about it, and how he has not promised, ifeel positive about it, and how he has not promised, i feel it is a very positive step forward.

i am out here seven years on campaigning and demonstrating to the country and people are still complaining of some of things that the community, the grenfell community, had been complaining about prior to the fire. they have been failed and it is not good enough, now it is for the labour government to deliver. taste enough, now it is for the labour government to deliver. we spoke to the new chief _ government to deliver. we spoke to the new chief secretary _ government to deliver. we spoke to the new chief secretary to _ government to deliver. we spoke to the new chief secretary to the - the new chief secretary to the treasury in the new cabinet this morning, darrenjones, and he is talking about building more homes. that is a huge challenge and a massive deal, but that is only one part of housing. there the existing stock, there is homelessness, there is safe everything. all the things they have to deal with, it is so complicated and so interconnected. it is, but they have to take a bottom—up approach, this is what i have said, there is no top—down approach. the focus on home ownership has not worked for the last a0 years, it will not work for the next five. if they are serious, there are ways to tackle this crisis, stable, and affordable ——

have been lucky in the last few years, we have had over a0 near misses, but sooner or later, the next attack will happen, and again, there is no law to keep people... there is no basic bill of rights of any terrorist attack happens, and again, an attack is not an attack against individuals, it is an attack against individuals, it is an attack against the state, so the government has an obligation to provide those basic rates for people when the worst happens. i basic rates for people when the worst happens-— basic rates for people when the worst ha . ens. . . . . worst happens. i am afraid we have to leave it there _ worst happens. i am afraid we have to leave it there for _ worst happens. i am afraid we have to leave it there for now, _ worst happens. i am afraid we have to leave it there for now, but - worst happens. i am afraid we have to leave it there for now, but you . to leave it there for now, but you will be watching, they will be watching, let's see what the next few months and years bring. thank you all very much indeed. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store. coming up on the show today, it has been described as the next housing scandal. we are investigating the contract was weaving owners of freehold new—build homes playing neck pain amounting maintenance

but security experts say an upgrade is needed. in parts of the nhs, it's quite clear that some of the it is out of date. there was a report earlier this year saying that something like 8000 doctor years were spent waiting for computers to boot up and things like that. but in general, out of date it is very, very hard to protect. trying to improve and modernise the nhs it estate is probably the single most useful thing that we could do. protests are due to be staged outside amazon's head office and warehouses, as workers begin to fight for more rights. thousands of staff will vote on whether they want a trade union to represent them. a spokesperson for amazon said it's employees have always had the choice of whether or not to join a union and said it promotes a positive work environment. the uk covid—19 inquiry is in luton and is inviting people living there to share their experiences of the pandemic. during the peak of the outbreak the town had one of the highest infection rates in the south east.

the two—day event at the university of bedfordshire will feed into the covid inquiry without the formality of giving evidence or a public hearing. a nine—year—old from north—west london is set to make history as the youngest person ever to represent england internationally in any sport. bodhana from harrow has been selected to represent england in chess. and it all began four years ago with a gift left by a family friend. in one of the bags, i saw a chess board, and i was interested in the pieces. and so i wanted to use the pieces as toys. instead, my dad said that i could play the game, and then i started from there. let's take a look at the tubes now. everything still looking good, no problems to report. now onto the weather with kawser. hello there, good morning. well, it is quite unsettled this week as well. it's a dry, bright start initially, though, but we are expecting more in the way of cloud this

morning, and with it some outbreaks of showers. this cloud will continue to spread further north and eastwards as we head through the day. some of these showers, one or two of them may be heavy in places, but there will be dry weather in between, although it will be quite cloudy out there, and temperatures reaching around 16 to 18 celsius. cloudy for this evening too, and then we are going to start some outbreaks of rain arriving in this evening and overnight. some of this will be quite heavy, there may be the odd rumble of thunder. it should become a bit drier, though, by the end of the night for some of us, but staying mild. temperatures holding up at around 13 to 1a celsius. this area of low pressure continues to shift north and eastwards, and for wednesday, there will be some further showers at times but more in the way of sunshine developing, and in the sunshine it could be quite warm, temperatures reaching around 22 celsius, maybe 23 degrees for some of us into the afternoon. still some showers to come, though, for the rest of the week. that's it from us for now.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sarah campbell. returning to politics now as we take a look at some of the key areas for the new government. this time, border security. the new home secretary, yvette cooper, has laid out the first steps towards setting up a uk border security command which the government hopes will reduce small boat crossings. our home editor mark easton has more. a easton has more. border security command, what would a border security command, what would it be and how would it operate? would it be and how would it o erate? ~ . . would it be and how would it operate?— would it be and how would it oerate? ~ ,, ., operate? well, as you know, the prime minister _ operate? well, as you know, the prime minister has _ operate? well, as you know, the prime minister has made - operate? well, as you know, the prime minister has made it - operate? well, as you know, the prime minister has made it quitej prime minister has made it quite clear that the rwanda policy is dead and buried, something new has to happen and the government's answer is the border security command. they have just announced they are going to be advertising, if you have a command, you have to have a

commander, which is going to be a big cheese, somebody who will report directly to the home secretary, they will probably come from the military or senior police, and may well be dealing with the national crime agency, the intelligence agencies and border control and so on. it's a big job of what the government is thinking, and the money that would have gone to rwanda to set up this command, will be used. they also working on anti—terrorist legislation particularly focused on dealing with the gangneung some of the smuggling gangs who are responsible for so much of the nightmares of small boat crossing the channel. nightmares of small boat crossing the channel-— the channel. this is a high-profile issue. the channel. this is a high-profile issue- the — the channel. this is a high-profile issue. the former _ the channel. this is a high-profile issue. the former minister - the channel. this is a high-profile issue. the former minister kevin l

issue. the former minister kevin hollinrake said he thought the conservatives lost this on migration so that the labour government will be aware that this is issue that matters to a lot of people. yes, there are _ matters to a lot of people. yes, there are two — matters to a lot of people. yes, there are two issues _ matters to a lot of people. yes, there are two issues here. - matters to a lot of people. yes, there are two issues here. 0ne| matters to a lot of people. “as there are two issues here. one is what you might call unauthorised migration, small boats, people smuggling themselves in without a visa, that kind of thing. and then you have got authorised migration, the visas which we give to people which actually account for 95 or 96% of all the migration. the small boat stuff is really a tiny proportion. often people's real concerns are that people are taking us for fools in coming over and breaking our border rules and so on. in the small boats. so it is a matter of real concern, and it's not going to be easy. the last government discovered that, it's not easy. boats are still coming over, we are at record levels of small boats crossing the channel this year so far. and to make any real change is going to take time.

the government itself would accept this is not something you can flick a switch on but they are hopeful that, as it were, changing the dynamic of the criminal approach to the gangs by having this border secure command, with this very senior person at the top, can somehow change things and make it much more difficult for people to make those unauthorised journeys into the uk. make those unauthorised 'ourneys into the uk.— make those unauthorised 'ourneys into the uk. , ., into the uk. during the campaign, of course, into the uk. during the campaign, of course. the — into the uk. during the campaign, of course, the conservatives _ into the uk. during the campaign, of course, the conservatives said - into the uk. during the campaign, of course, the conservatives said that l course, the conservatives said that the border security command effectively already existed, and that the system already allowed what labour was proposing so its hard to know exactly what difference this might make. know exactly what difference this might make-— know exactly what difference this might make. that is exactly right, the conservatives _ might make. that is exactly right, the conservatives are _ might make. that is exactly right, the conservatives are still - might make. that is exactly right, | the conservatives are still pointing out that they had a border security command, not i think it is fair to say not quite as built—up as the one the government is planning but nevertheless they had people in the channel working with the military and the french. the question is, can this new version of a border

security command do better than the old one without rwanda as well? and thatis old one without rwanda as well? and that is going to be the question and the challenge when we start to look back at how this government has done perhaps in 100 days or six months. for now, mark easton, thank you very much. one challenge of many, isn't it? indeed. elsewhere, the new chancellor is expected to outline a series of changes to loosen planning regulations in a speech this morning in an attempt to boost investment for infrastructure projects and house building. rachel reeves and her new treasury team spent all weekend working our economics editor, faisal islam, joins us from downing street. so, you can tell us a little bit more about what rachel reeves is going to unveil, faisal.— going to unveil, faisal. good mornint going to unveil, faisal. good morning from _ going to unveil, faisal. good morning from downing - going to unveil, faisal. good i morning from downing street, going to unveil, faisal. chm morning from downing street, jon and sarah. they have been busy bees in his majesty's treasury over the weekend. the new treasurer —— chancellor rachel reeves getting her advice is to work to come up with a

package of measures that she will put to dozens of business leaders that have been summoned to the treasury. the big picture message is that getting the growth rate of the economy up is the central national mission, notjust for herbert economy up is the central national mission, not just for herbert for the entire new government. —— not just for her, but the entire new government. there is a role to play for the business leaders arriving, you might recall rachel reeves in the early hours after the election said there is not a huge amount of money around but she is willing to have a fight over planning reform policies. in the absence of huge amount of government investment they really need a business leaders and investors to make investment and in order to do that, the bait if you like big scale scrapping of the red tape that has held back the building of infrastructure and housing, the building of the energy grid which is much needed. she is saying, we will get rid of a lot of that say that

you have the confidence to invest, the political confidence to invest because this government now has a significant and stable majority, they will argue, so get investing so that we can see the fruit, the people of the country can see the fruits of the investments because it takes a year or year and a half. i have some new language i understand she was head of the business leaders, after 1a years british has —— britain has a government which respects business and wants to do business. a little bit of a side reference to the scenes we are seeing in france, president macron in paris has been a past master getting businesses to invest in their country, charming them, glad handling them, calling them by their first name and looking at their kids —— knowing their kids name. that looks like it is in doubt in france now. so it's a perfect opportunity for the chancellor to steal some of that business back. it

they are going to take the political pain with this, it better be done quickly. that is what we will be seeing. we will not get more movement on tax—and—spend policy today. the chancellor will meet with the office for budget responsibility to kick—start the budget process which i think will emerge in the autumn, the spending review as well. i understand the chancellor has also met with the governor of the bank of england on friday so it is full speed ahead. today the political choice is to focus on growing the economy, getting investment in as quickly as is possible. {lila economy, getting investment in as quickly as is possible.— economy, getting investment in as quickly as is possible. ok, for now, thank ou quickly as is possible. ok, for now, thank you very _ quickly as is possible. ok, for now, thank you very much, _ quickly as is possible. ok, for now, thank you very much, faisal. - thank you very much, faisal. talking about the impact on big business there, but let's go back to me not to talk about the small businesses. she is —— let's go back to nina. she is at a station cafe in manchester. important messages from rachel reeves but what is the impact on small businesses, really listening to what she has to say?

yes, good morning. we are from irlam station cafe. it had its heyday in the late victorian age and then had a big boost investment over the last years to turn it into this stunning cafe. sometimes big investment is what is needed. let's look at the challenges the chancellor faces. at the tail end of 2023, we went into recession. marginal growth at the beginning of the year but that stopped in the spring. the tax burden, how much we pay proportionally, is as high as it has been since the second world war, people do not have much gave especially when you consider interest rates are at the highest they have been for 16 years. most households are feeling the pinch in one way or another. i want you to meet ruth, you work for a charity that helps working people, and you are astonished about how many people in full—time work need support. absolutely, it is one of the things that we are seeing an increase in in the last few months, rather than

what would you like to say to the chancellor? it would not come under her remit to get the talent across, so what would you like her to do? she is focusing on growth on the economy and childcare and early education is absolutely crucial to the economy to get parents back into work, or increase their hours. without that they will not be able to work. that isn't any good for the economy. most importantly, children's developed and lifelong learning. children's developed and lifelong learnint. ., . children's developed and lifelong learnint. . , , ., learning. that is the problem that lohan was outlining, _ learning. that is the problem that lohan was outlining, she - learning. that is the problem that lohan was outlining, she is i learning. that is the problem that i lohan was outlining, she is working all the time but covering childcare is cancelling it out. robbie is a student rep, is good to see you. when you look to the future, do you feel optimistic about the opportunity out there? i feel optimistic about the opportunity out there? i think we would love _ opportunity out there? i think we would love to _ opportunity out there? i think we would love to add _ opportunity out there? i think we would love to add at _ opportunity out there? i think we would love to add at this - opportunity out there? i think we would love to add at this point i opportunity out there? i think we would love to add at this point in| would love to add at this point in your— would love to add at this point in your life — would love to add at this point in your life you are looking at what is next and _ your life you are looking at what is next and trying to make your contribution to society as well. i think— contribution to society as well. i think that — contribution to society as well. i think that is very exciting but i do think— think that is very exciting but i do think it _ think that is very exciting but i do think it can— think that is very exciting but i do think it can be really draining when all of— think it can be really draining when all of your—

penalty shoot—out drama, there be another special moment? that game is on wednesday. did you see this yesterday? lewis hamilton, the seven times world champion, winning for the first time in three seasons. and his final season for mercedes and at his home grand prix, winning yesterday, becoming the first driver to win in a single circuit nine times. hejust about held off the red bull driver max verstappen to take his ninth win at home to become the record holder for victories at a single circuit. this is my last race here at the british grand prix with this team so, i wanted to win this so much for them because i love them, i appreciate them so much, all the hard work that they've been putting in over these years.

i'm forever grateful to everyone in this team, everyone at mercedes and all of our partners. and otherwise, to all our incredible fans. i could see you lap by lap as i was coming round, and there's just no greater feeling as to finish at the front here. what a moment, and as we know, the second week of wimbledon begins today. novak djokovic is in action but no british inquest left in the singles. the former us open champion was the only briton remaining in either the women's or the men's singles draw but mma raducanu fell to defeat to the unseeded lulu sun of new zealand in three sets on centre court. raducanu's exit was put into sharper focus after second seed coco gauff, who was on the same side of the draw as the briton, was dumped out in straight sets by her compatriot emma navarro. she'll face jasmine paolini in the next round. in the men's draw, defending champion carlos alcaraz is through to the quarterfinals, beating france's ugo humbert in four sets. he faces 12th seed tommy paul next

after the american overcame roberto bautista agut of spain in straight sets. world number one and top seed jannik sinner is also through to the last eight, he beat american ben shelton in straight sets — he'll play fifth seed danill medvedev next with a potential semifinal against alcaraz looming on the horizon. imagine uncovering the courts at wimbledon only to look over your shoulder and say none other than novak djokovic standing next to you! forget conserving energy for a match today, here he was on his day off no less, helping to uncover the practice courts before taking on his next opponent. i love that, jon, and sarah, don't you? doing his hit. do you think harry kane is doing the same at the england training ground, jumping on the lawnmower and giving the pitch once over? i jumping on the lawnmower and giving the pitch once over?—

better and failing in the process. this is why, 51 years on, you're bringing frank back. we are. i'm frank, frank spencer. the original show was written by ray allen in the garden shed at the bottom of his mum and dads garden. this is my kitchen. but this week, sam denia, the latest incarnation of frank, will launch some mothers do 'ave 'em at cirencester�*s barn theatre. sam, aka frank, give us some classic frank—isms. well... well, i can't, because i'll bring on my trouble. ooh, betty! of course it was the stunts that made this show so special. you know, he's done a lot of work, as you can see, on the house. everything is as solid as a rock... sorry, sorry about that.

there's lots that can go wrong. and it does? and it does! oh, no, no, no. what is it? um... don't worry, betty, we can cover it up before the bbc arrive. they'll be none the wiser. it is a love story, isn't it? it is, yeah. and there's this real notion of, they haven't got much at all. frank's got nojob, their house, they don't even own it and it's falling to pieces but they've always got each other. it's simple, it's slapstick, it is just funny. i know, i can use the wallpaper from behind brucey. oh, frank! do you think 50 years from now, we'll look back at anything that's on telly right now with the same nostalgia and love? i don't think so, because there is so much material out you know, if you get four million

viewers for a tv show, everyone's delighted. but this is a period of time where 27 million were sitting down to watch it on a saturday night. that's what's so wonderful about about this and where it came from. how long's this all going to take? be patient, betty, rome wasn't burnt in a day. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. it's back! 25 million viewers, that incredible, isn't it? taste it's back! 25 million viewers, that incredible, isn't it?— it's back! 25 million viewers, that incredible, isn't it? we have had a very sitcom _ incredible, isn't it? we have had a very sitcom morning, _ incredible, isn't it? we have had a very sitcom morning, we - incredible, isn't it? we have had a very sitcom morning, we had i incredible, isn't it? we have had a. very sitcom morning, we had james corden in the theatre at the weekend, watching the penalties with england in front of his audience before he took to the stage, then. and then we had stacey from gavin and stacey, also talking about hedgehogs. it has to be seen to be believed, it's a very varied sitcom heavy programme this morning! it sounds a bit like frank spencer itself! stay with us, the headlines are coming up.
