of penny mordaunt as the new international development secretary borrowing the resignation of priti patel last night. she has been speaking this evening, let's listen to what she has to say. i'm delighted to have been appointed. i'm looking forward to working with the team to continue building a safer, more prosperous world for us all. really giving the british public pride in what we do. it's my first day here, i am delighted to be here. i have already met some of the staff and they are doing a terrificjob building a more safe, more secure and prosperous world for us all. i want to continue doing that, but also to give the british public confidence and pride in what we're. thank you. the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall have paid their respects to india's war dead,

as their tour of the country comes to an end. the royal couple observed a minute's silence, and laid a wreath at india gate, the national war memorial. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is in delhi, a warning that his report contains flash photography. through the dense smog of delhi, the motorcade of the man who will be king. charles will be 70 next year. no heir to the british throne has waited as long to achieve his destiny. at india gate, charles laid a wreath in memory of those from the indian subcontinent who lost their lives in the two world wars. last post. in three days' time, on remembrance sunday in london, charles will lay his mother's wreath at the cenotaph. for the first time the queen will watch the ceremony from a balcony. it will be the most visible public sign so far of the transition — the moves which are gradually gathering momentum, preparing the way for a change of reign. are there other people you are employing? that moment may yet be years away. when it does come charles knows his campaigning will have to stop,

but for now he shows no sign of curbing his interventions on the environment, for example, or his efforts to assist young people. in delhi he met entrepreneurs, helped by an offshoot of his prince's trust. it's on visits such as this, where charles is now the senior substitute for the queen, and where he's delivering subtle messages on behalf of the british government, that his enhanced king in waiting status is most apparent. in india the central message has been about the commonwealth. it's important to post—brexit britain and it's important to charles because he wants to follow his mother as its head. the commonwealth, built as it is on a firm foundation of shared associations and values, offers us an unparalleled means to build bridges between our countries. a visit which began with a story about a disputed shareholding has gone on to underline charles' role

western parts of england, through wales as well. the far south—east should be dry at this stage, as we start the new day on friday that with a fun will work down into the southern counties of england, and there will be the odd spot of rain. once that pulls away it's a mixture of sunny spells and showers. the heavy showers are most frequent showers found across northern western parts of scotland and northern ireland for a time. still a relatively mild in the south, a decidedly chilled day in the north, temperatures never better than single figures. the wind and rain will pull back and northern ireland and cross at the part of wales. we have to get rid of that during the course of saturday, before the weekend becomes one of sunny spells and showers that turning much colder. you're watching beyond 100 days. score one for china. the us president backs away from the chance to punish beijing on trade. in his visit to china, mrtrump makes it clear his priority is addressing

the north korean nuclear crisis, not the trade imbalance. the result of that calculation — the president calls xi a "special man" and says china is not to blame for the trade deficit. a year on from the american election, was this the week the democrats turned a corner with voters? we'll hear from the outgoing governor of virginia. i think it was an affirmation they were happy with the last four years. if we had not done a good job the last four years, my lieutenant governor, i don't care anything about trump, we would not have won.
