self—serving and self—obsessed. now we will take up the crucial role of his majesty's official opposition, professionally, effectively and humibly. the prime minister is now on his way to washington — where world leaders are gathering for a nato summit. all eyes will be on president biden — the 81—year—old is under growing pressure to step aside ahead of the presidential election. jailed for 17 years — the drunk driver who killed a baby boy and his aunt in a car crash on the a1. the manufacturer dyson says it's cutting around 1,000 jobs in the uk as part of a major restructure. and some parts of the uk have had a month's worth of rain already — and we're only days intojuly. i'll have the latest from here at wimbledon,

where croatia's donna vekic has taken the first spot in this year's semifinal as qualifier lulu sun's fairytale run comes to an end. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. sir keir starmer has addressed mps in parliament for the first time as prime minister. surrounded by labour mp5 on the government benches for the first time in m years, he said it was time to turn the page and unite in a common endeavour of national renewal. opposite him was rishi sunak — now leader of the oppostion, who congratulated the prime minister on his victory. the process of swearing in more than 600 mp5 is now under way. 0ur deputy political editor vicki young joins us from westminster. it was certainly a different tone today? yes, it was, a change in tone, that

robust political debate set aside for one day, i'm sure it won't last, but a change too in personnel. there are a lot of happy looking labour and liberal democrat mps and they look a bit lost as they find their way around parliament for the first time. for the conservatives a different experience, their ranks are vastly depleted. 175 of them have lost their seats. this hasn't happened for a while. a labour prime minister entering the commons after a landslide election victory. it was standing room only for all the new mps on the government side, happily breaking the rule that they shouldn't clap in the chamber. then it was back to tradition, black rod kicking off the ceremonial side of the day. nothing can happen in the commons without a speaker, so sir lindsay hoyle was re—elected

and — another ancient convention — dragged to the chair by mps. i call the prime minister, sir keir starmer. the bad—tempered election debates are over. this was a more reflective moment. service is a precondition for hope and trust. and the need to restore trust should weigh heavily on every member here, new and returning alike. we all have a duty to show that politics can be a force for good. for one former prime minister, a different title to get used to. i call the leader of the opposition, rishi _ i call the leader of the opposition, rishi sunak — i call the leader of the opposition, rishi sunak. it— i call the leader of the opposition, rishi sunak-— rishi sunak. it is important that the conservative _ rishi sunak. it is important that the conservative party - rishi sunak. it is important that the conservative party rebuilds, rishi sunak. it is important that . the conservative party rebuilds, we will take up the crucial role of his opposition professionally effectively and humibly. for the longest serving female mp, this was a chance to highlight the changing face of the commons.

when i was a new member in 1987 there were only a0 female members of parliament. today, we have 26a. and some of us are glad that we have lived to see this. with fewer conservative mps, other parties will have a louder voice. the new government of the day, as the mother of the house hasjust said, faces a very difficult task, clearing up the mess it has inherited. we on these benches will hold the government to account. we are the new kids on the block. we have no experience in this parliament whatsoever, - even though some of us have tried many times over the years - previously to get here. what's it been like, sitting in that chamber on the other side? yeah, of course it's a whole new experience, and getting to know so many new people, a lot of new names to learn. it does sort of bring home just how big the labour majority is, and what a job we've got to do

to hold them to account, effectively, as the new opposition. labour mp peter prinsley, who is a surgeon, turned up for his first day and bumped into one of his former patients, a doorkeeper in the commons. he is quite surprised to be here after winning one of the safest tory seats in the country. you do realise that some people spend a lifetime trying to get into this place as an mp. no, i do realise that. and i understand that i'm extremely lucky to have managed to get to be an mp really in one month flat. but i shall do my very best. the political arguments will start again soon, but first all mp5, old and new, have to swear their oaths of allegiance to the crown. and then the work begins. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. well after a whirlwind tour of the uk, the prime minister is now on his way to washington for the annual nato summit. 0ur political editor chris mason is travelling with him and sent this update hello from a rather soggy airfield. quite a moment, this, for sir keir starmer as he prepares

to get on board the prime ministerial plane and head to washington. he will have a chance to visit the white house, to meet president biden, and also introduce himself to lots of other world leaders at this nato summit. and all of this less than a week on from the general election. obviously at a nato summit, a gathering of the defence alliance, a real focus on security. labour have promised that they want to spend 2.5% of national income on defence, but crucially, they have not put a timeframe on it, a deadline on it, which means there is a question about whether it is ever achieved. so lots to discuss about defence, and quite a moment for the new prime minister. the prime minister will have face—to—face talks with president biden while he is in washington. all eyes will be on the 81—year—old president during the summit,

amid growing pressure on him to step aside after a disasterous tv debate with donald trump last month. here's our north america correspondentjon sudworth. the white house defends president biden's health as he remains defiant about staying in this race. the questions won't go away — the news shows once again this morning leading on the story of president biden's age. on capitol hill, democrats have been meeting behind closed doors to discuss strategy. a handful have called for the president to drop out, but party leaders are so far back his defiant refusal to quit. in new york, one of the bluest of blue democrat states, voters accept that the heat is on the president, but in a contest with donald trump, for many, the choice is clear. the biggest thing is to not let someone who does not appear to care about the country at all get in power.

i think in an ideal world like he wouldn't be the president, yeah. but you know we might not have an ideal world. but business leaders and donors are stepping up their pressure. an open letter published by one group of executives now has more than a00 signatories. we have respectfully. asked president biden to pass the torch to a new _ generation of leaders. we believe that there l are multiple leaders in the democratic party who would be iwell equipped to be our president| and effectively make i the case about the risks that donald trump and the _ current republican party presents. and mr biden will be under greater scrutiny this week as we welcomes nato members to washington. questions about mr biden's fitness for domestic office also apply to his leadership on the global stage and with world leaders arriving here in america for a nato summit that's meant to be about sending a message

of international resolving and solidarity, it is now that sense of uncertainty over america's future political direction that looms largest. despite his calls for the speculation to end, every word and step are being more closely watched than ever. john sudworth, bbc news, new york. dyson has announced plans to cut around 1,000 jobs in the uk, more than a quarter of its workforce here, in a major restructure to protect its future. the firm, known for innovative household appliances including vacuum cleaners, hairdryers and fans is based in wiltshire, with offices in london and bristol. our business editor simonjack is here. this a very successful company — what's happened? this is an unprecedented cull, 1,000, it remains to be seen what it

looks like elsewhere. but they have started here. they say it is the kind of thing a company needs to do to stay competitive in a tough market. when you talk to people in the industry, they say it is competitive, other companies like ninja are eating into dyson's share. i talked to an employ eye who got their redundancy notice today, saying the fear is that, whole teams are being moved out to the, the brains was meant to be here and the manufacturing in the east. but a new chief executive has come on, he has been there a couple of months and this feels like a shake—up from the new guy. james dyson signs everything off and he complained

about policies in the uk. but we will see what happens to the rest of the dyson empire in a couple of weeks. . ~ the dyson empire in a couple of weeks. ., ~ , ., a drunk driver has been jailed for 17 years after ploughing into a family car at a speed of more than 1a0 miles an hour in county durham, killing a woman and her baby nephew instantly. daryl anderson was taking pictures of himself whilst driving when he crashed into the car on the a1. fiona trott reports from durham crown court. drunk and dangerous. i've just got back off holiday. a driver who'd caused two deaths just minutes before. have you had anything alcoholic to drink? i had a little bit to drink on plane. daryl anderson had more than that... keep going, keep going, stop. ..just listen to what the breathalyser revealed. what does that say? that's a fail. 95. — the legal limit is 35. is it? yeah. an empty vodka bottle was found nearby. he'd been using whatsapp on his phone and had even taken a photograph of his speedometer. eight—month—old zachary

blades was killed. his aunt, karlene warner, also died. this was an emotional hearing. relatives called anderson a coward and said, "look at me" when they gave their impact statement. and it had an impact — anderson himself was crying. zachary�*s mum, who was karlene's sister and was driving that night, said she'd fight for anderson and people like him to be disqualified from driving for life. we were never going to be happy with our sentence today, because it doesn't make up for what we've lost, but if we can stop that next person, make them think twice, then we've done some good and karlene's and zach's lives and more than that. rve, — i've drove into the back of another car, yeah? but i'm not a bad person. the family of those he killed disagree. fiona trott, bbc news, durham.

dead and four others injured. the cctv footage and this photo from inside the house have been released by west midlands police to encourage people to come forward with information. it's distressing because it is very unusual. this is a very unusual event. and certainly this is why we need to bring the people responsible for this to justice as quickly as we can. two weeks on, and this is what the house looks like now. the family have described the victim as a loving son, and two of them remain in hospital. the hope is that soon they will get some answers about who was responsible for what happened here. navtej johal, bbc news, wolverhampton. football, and the former wales captain craig bellamy has been appointed as the new coach of the national team. he said it was the proudest moment of his career and his ultimate dream job. bellamy takes over from robert page, who was sacked injune after wales failed to make it to the euros.

another big name falls at wimbledon as the world number one jannik sinner has been knocked out at the quarter final stage. on a day once again disrupted by rain. laura scott reports from the all england club. summer, hey? you might question their sense, but you can't fault their spirit. i just think you can't get any more british than this, can you? it's quintessential, really. you've brought your bin bag with you! i laughter. i know, you've got to be prepared for all the weather! under the roof, the previously unknown qualifier lulu sun shone. but then faded as donna vekic fought her way to the final four. but was the roof creating a mugginess that was hard to play in? from one player who looked out on their feet to another who was out of sorts. the world number one jannik sinner had to leave centre court. he dug deep to push through five sets but a spot in the semifinals

went the way of the fiendish fifth seed daniil medvedev. at one moment i could feel that he doesn't move that well. so it's always tricky because you want to play more points to make him suffer a little bit more, in a good way, and at the same time, you know that he at one point is going to say, "ok, i cannot run any more, so i'm going to go full power". and that's what he did. perhaps it was the rain outside, or perhaps it was the calibre of the contest, but the crowd packed in to see the defending champion, carlos alcaraz going toe—to—toe with tommy paul. a barnstorming, breathtaking battle that was only two sets in after nearly two hours. 0h! well, it has certainly been one of those days were a ticket to the two main course has been highly sought after and that's notjust because they're in the dry, though that definitely helps. the crowd have

been treated to some tussles out there, and i can tell you that carlos alcaraz has taken the third set. he will be hoping to book a set in the finalfour set. he will be hoping to book a set in the final four in time to watch spain in the semifinals of the rose. laura, thank you. all of this rain. it may only be nine days intojuly but some parts of the uk have already seen over a month's worth of rain. it's washing out wimbledon and ruining summer holidays across the country. danny savage joins us from beside the seaside in scarborough. you don't need an umbrella but it's not looking great.— you don't need an umbrella but it's not looking great. earlier today you needed to admit _ not looking great. earlier today you needed to admit waterproof - not looking great. earlier today you j needed to admit waterproof jackets needed to admit waterproofjackets and the over trousers on to keep the rain out. it has got better as the day went on, and things are improving out there. there was even a couple of people swimming earlier on, they got out pretty sharpish. the lifeboats are now on exercise behind me but i think most people we talked to today think that so far summer 202a has failed to load.

high summer in britain. sunny scarborough, scarbados — words are not associated with today. just where has summer gone? it's hiding out there somewhere, behind all of them horrible rainy clouds. do you think it will come back? of course it will! it'sjust crazy! but it's britain. nothing else for it. it's just one of those things, it's the british summer, yes? it definitely is british summer. just have to grin and bear it and get on with it. you just need to get. used to it, don't you? it's part of the british weather! you get four seasons in one day. and not the right one today. that's right. so here we are in the second week ofjuly. in some parts of the uk, like scotland, the school holidays have already started. here in yorkshire, they are imminent. it's notjust the mood that's been dampened. for seafront businesses, long wet summer days are damaging economically. you rely on summer to, you know, make your money to last through the winter.

and the winter is really long. and when you get a day like this, days like winter, like, it's frustrating, yeah. on days like these, the bathing flags seem like the very definition of optimism. the rest of summer can't really be like this, can it? danny savage, bbc news, scarborough. i have the perfect person ask that to. tomasz? what can i say, it's been disappointing! it really is not good, folks. i will show you the forecast for the next few days, look at the jet stream, it's to the south of us. when the jet stream is to the south of us, colder air comes in from the north, and the jet stream for the next few days is way to the south of us, and also pushing in weather systems. so what do we need

for things to warm up? we need the jet stream to be to the north of us. so, yes, some of us will like this warm air coming in from the south but you will not like it when you read this you, end ofjuly. i shall see myself out now! no, we've still got time for a more detailed forecast, again, this is the rainfall we will see for the next few days. pretty much everybody gets a good dose of rain to stop some areas will see a lot. scotland actually over the next 2a hours could see as much as 50, 60, even 90 millimetres of rain across grampian, and this evening that weather front moving northwards. so it's improving in the south, a little bit in scarborough, though it didn't look like it. but it is muggy out there. we felt it at wimbledon, we will feel it tonight. we, 1a, 15 in north—west england and hull, widely in the mid overnight, really humid air. tomorrow i am pleased the site will be better in the south, after some morning showers, sunshine in

the afternoon, better for wimbledon, a
