resolve the issue of the irish border, he would prepare for a no—deal brexit. he said this was only common sense. domestically, he promised 20,000 new police officers will be recruited and 20 new hospital upgrades will be under way, ensuring that additional nhs funding reached the line and he vowed to tackle the crisis in social care. .he . he promised to give all old people the security and dignity they deserve. ian watson has this report. today, boris johnson fulfilled a long—held ambition, and has he moved into downing street, he declared he was also ambitious for his country.

i stand before you today to tell you, the british people, that those critics are wrong, the doubters and doomsters, the gloomsters, they will get it wrong again. the people who bet against britain will lose their shirts, because we will restore trust in our democracy. and we are going to fulfil the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the eu on the 31st of october, no ifs or buts. brexit, he promised his domestic agenda, too. more police officers, infrastructure investment and a better health service. no problem seemed intractable. he also pledged to ta ke seemed intractable. he also pledged to take personal response ability for his actions. i am announcing now, on the steps of downing street, that we will fix the crisis in the social care once and for all, with a

clear plan we have prepared, to give every older person the dignity and security they deserve. myjob is to make sure your kids get a superb education, wherever they are. i will ta ke education, wherever they are. i will take personal responsibility. for the change i want to see. never mind the change i want to see. never mind the backstop, the the buck stops with me. e also seem to take a sideways swipe at his predecessor. after yea rs of sideways swipe at his predecessor. after years of unfounded self—doubt, it is time to change the record. we, in this government, will work flat out to give this country the leadership it deserves. his path to power wasn't entirely smooth, and just before he became prime minister, borisjohnson just before he became prime minister, boris johnson had just before he became prime minister, borisjohnson had a final barrier to overcome— climate change protesters impeded his progress to buckingham palace, where the queen would ask him to form a government. a little earlier, the departing

te na nt a little earlier, the departing tenant in downing street, watched by her staff and flanked by her husband, had wished her successor well. i repeat my warm congratulations to boris johnson on winning the leadership election. i wish him and the government he will lead every good fortune in the months and years ahead. their successes months and years ahead. their successes will be our country's successes, successes will be our country's successes, and i hope that they will be many. she, too, had an interruption, giving her the chance to restate government policy, although one that she didn't deliver. i want to set my husband, philip, who has been my greatest supporter and my closest companion. —— iwant to supporter and my closest companion. —— i want to thank my husband. supporter and my closest companion. -- i want to thank my husband. stop brexit! that wasn't me. the answer to that is, i think not. order! earlier, she bade farewell to mps at her last ever prime minister's questions. she was relinquishing power but not responsibility. that a

duty to serve my constituents will remain my greatest motivation. she showed some of her often hidden emotions as she was cheered, even by those who had a hand in rejecting her, as she made her way out of parliament, her successor is now likely to take the country in a different direction. borisjohnson‘s aides say that as prime minister, he will act more like a chair manner than a executive, that means the people who will sit around the top table with him here at downing street will be absolutely crucial, because cabinet will look very different from theresa may's, there will be more long—standing brexiteers for a start. he says it will also reflect modern britain. in practice, that means more mps from ethnic minority backgrounds in big jobs, and more women, though this time, not in the top job. jobs, and more women, though this time, not in the topjob. some big names around the current cabinet table have said they will go, not least the chancellor, philip hammond. even some prominent

brexiteers, although not boris johnson backers, have quit the government, too. liam fox at international trade, and penny mordaunt leaves defence. for a price at the seat at the top table is a willingness to sign up to no—deal if need be, and some ministers think thatis need be, and some ministers think that is too high a cost. but sources close to borisjohnson say some new oi’ close to borisjohnson say some new or recycled brooms are on their way. there will be a big job for the former international development secretary, who resigned over a high level, but completely unauthorised meetings with israeli politicians. the employment minister is also on the way up and they will be returned to government for the former sports minister, tracey crouch. listen carefully, does this sound like a job application? i think it is important that we have a government that reflects modern britain, but at the same time, the modern conservative party. so a party of all the talent, but importantly, a party that will now unite and come together and get behind our new

leader. some big staffing decisions have to be settled later today. good morning. it is hot today. is jeremy hunt in the running for a topjob? he was defeated as party leader but doesn't want to be demoted, so he may run away from parliament entirely full stop behind the scenes, a key figure in the vote leave campaign, dominic cummings, has been given an influential role, suggesting that brexiteers will drive the agenda. applause applause tonight for boris johnson as he enters downing street. if he wants the same accolade on their way out, he will have to deliver on ambitious promises. lots going on across the road at the moment, borisjohnson lots going on across the road at the moment, boris johnson doing lots going on across the road at the moment, borisjohnson doing the ugly pa rt moment, borisjohnson doing the ugly part of the day, sacking people, and some names coming through already. the secretary for international

trade, liam fox, has been sacked, and also penny mordaunt, the defence secretary, also sacked. let's speak to vicki young at downing street. that might surprise some people, penny mordaunt and liam fox, because they are brexiteers, so no god—given right to a place in the cabinet, just because you are a brexiteers, the key. know, and interestingly, someone on boris johnson's team said that to me, just because you are a brexiteers, doesn't mean you will stay in. what they said to me then is that boris johnson's pitch, when he was speaking to mp5, to the younger generation, was that he was going to bring in lots of new talent as they see it. lots of mps from the 2015 and 2017 intake, promoting fresh talent, as they would see it, getting rid of those who have been there for a long time. it is a far more brittle clear out then i think most people expected. penny mordaunt

is an interesting one, the first female defence secretary in the uk. she has hardly been in thejob a very long at all, but she was sacked. i assumed she would be offered something else i didn't want it, but no, she has been sacked. damien heinz, the education secretary has gone, and liam fox. liam fox and penny mordaunt are brexiteers, but they both supported jeremy hunt. whether borisjohnson has decided he needs to have people who have complete loyalty to him around the cabinet table, that could be what is behind it, very interesting, because theresa may was very careful to balance her cabinet between those who had been on the remain side of the argument in the referendum, there's eight been on the leave side, and i weather where there borisjohnson knows whether one of the main problem is theresa may face was a lack of discipline in the cabinet. maybe he needs people who are totally signed up to what he wa nts to who are totally signed up to what he wants to do with his particular leadership, we will see who gets the job is theresa may face was a lack of discipline in the cabinet. maybe he needs people who are totally signed up to what he wants to do

with his particular leadership, we will see who gets the jobs later this evening. 0n the timetable, it looks like he has separated the evening, he will sack people first and then go back to downing street, so we will have a public display of people who are coming into the cabinet around 7pm? those are the indications we are getting, perhaps not the whole cabinet, but the seniorjobs. that is how it is normally done, the sacking gets done in private, but in this case, he is seeing them face—to—face in the office in the house of commons, they are usually done over the phone. the easier task for a new prime minister, handing out those precious jobs, that happens more publicly, in front of the cameras, they come into downing street later this evening, and it will be interesting to see what the blend is in the cabinet, he has already talked about diversity, they have named pretty patel he was going to get a promotion, alok sharma as well, how many women will he have in the cabinet? they talk about women and other people attending cabinet, that is normally what boosts the numbers, it is perhaps a bit of a cheat, there were

only five female cabinet ministers who were 100% attending cabinet, actual members of the cabinet, so we will see whether that increases under boris johnson. will see whether that increases under borisjohnsonlj will see whether that increases under boris johnson. i know you will keep me company through the evening, so we will come back to you, but for the moment, thank you very much. i am joined now by nigel evans, secretary of the 1922 committee, the quicker backbench mps who meet weekly to discuss the issues of the day. nice to see you. it struck me, listening to see you. it struck me, listening to vicki young, the first 4081 are of any administration, they are pretty daunting. —— the first 48 hours. the company comes to an abrupt end when you are straight into it with firings and hirings. yes, as boris said on the steps of number10, yes, as boris said on the steps of number 10, the job now yes, as boris said on the steps of number 10, thejob now starts yes, as boris said on the steps of number 10, the job now starts and yes, as boris said on the steps of number 10, thejob now starts and it is today it is starting. with some news coming in of some of my collea g u es news coming in of some of my colleagues being sacked, it isn't so much of a reshuffle as a summer day

must occur. i'm trying to think of anybody who has been left in the cabinet at the moment. —— summer day must occur. new faces will be coming into the cabinet. vicky were saying it doesn't matter if you are a brexiteers, but the two common ones we we re brexiteers, but the two common ones we were talking about, in liam fox and penny mordaunt, they werejeremy hunt supporters. is he picking people who have bend their knee? hunt supporters. is he picking people who have bend their knee ?m would appear that they have paid the price. penny mordaunt, the speculation was thatjeremy hunt got off at herjob yesterday, and he turned it down. we were told this, andi turned it down. we were told this, and i don't know whether penny has confronted boris with that because it was a job she loved. she wouldn't have walked away easily from secretary of state. she was a labour asi secretary of state. she was a labour as i was on the first woman secretary of state for defence. and liam fox and international trade and international trade select committee. i know how competent and liam was doing thatjob, both than

brexiteers, absolutely. there were ten candidates, you cannotjust load your ministerial team full of people who supported you from the beginning until the end. a lot of people switched onto boris's side during the campaign as people dropped out, and jeremy hunt happened to be the last one standing to take on boris. so it does seem to be a radical reshuffle. on my way over here, i picked up the evening standard, no question what they are focusing on, it is the return of dominic cummings as chief advisor to borisjohnson, of course, the architect. do you see the team coming back together? we have borisjohnson, the team coming back together? we have boris johnson, michael gove will probably be chancellor to the duchy of as to, and then you have dominic cummings there as well.|j duchy of as to, and then you have dominic cummings there as well. i am really pleased about dominic cummings, because he was the lead over the leave campaign. everybody thought they couldn't possibly win,

and yet he masterminded total success , and yet he masterminded total success, he delivered brexit. i think this is a message to brussels. they knew, deep down, there was no way that theresa may would leave without a deal and they were absolutely right. when it came towards the 29th of march, she buckled. you are a member of the erg, and he doesn't mince his words when he talks about the erg. he has had words about bill cash, those within the narcissist delusional subset, his words. i don't think dominic cummings like mps at all. we are used to that in downing street, are used to that in downing street, a lot of people put them over there to advise them when they really think the elected mps are irritating. all i am interested in any messages that will be sent to brussels, that it is important to me. michel barnier will know if the cannot just me. michel barnier will know if the cannotjust brush aside boris johnson as if he was theresa may, so this is serious stuff and business

now. what i feel is going to happen with the people he will now put into brexit secretary, other key posts that will deliver the brexit agenda, including dominic cummings. it will send a clear message to the eu, they will have to negotiate, they cannot just say what they have set up until now, which is the withdrawal agreement, that is the only thing on the table. now, that withdrawal agreement it went back into the white van with theresa may's furniture as it left downing street earlier today. that deal is done. interesting, nigel evans, thank you for those thoughts. the new prime minister reiterating again today, the uk will be leaving on the 31st of october, so what will they make of october, so what will they make of that in europe? and to our europe correspondent damien grammaticas in brussels. you may have heard there that no—deal is firmly on the table. you may have heard there that no-deal is firmly on the table. yes, andi no-deal is firmly on the table. yes, and i think the eu has been

expecting this, and preparing for it, and nigel evans saying that the strong message that the deal is dead, the eu absolutely are prepared for that and got its rebuttal out early today. michel barnier came out and told us the eu does not want no—deal, it isn't the choice of the eu, he said, the eu's choice is to have a negotiated exit, but he said it is now up to the uk under boris johnson to decide which way he wants to go. what the eu will see in that speech boris johnson to go. what the eu will see in that speech borisjohnson just gave on the doorstep of downing street was him saying he wants a deal, that is very welcome from the eu side, that he will guarantee citizenss' rights. but he then said there could be no irish backstop provisions, so the question will be, how? how do you envisage dealing with that question

and reshaping the agreement to deal with the question of keeping the irish border open? boris johnson again said that that is what he wa nts to again said that that is what he wants to do. i think the eu will say, as it has threw two years of negotiation, that there is only one way, which is to keep the close alignment. if the question is back to borisjohnson, alignment. if the question is back to boris johnson, if alignment. if the question is back to borisjohnson, if that isn't a cce pta ble to borisjohnson, if that isn't acceptable to him, does he want no—deal? then what? what is the plan after that and again, the eu has had its rebuttal out today, we have heard from meps on the brexit committee and parliament are saying there will be no special side deals or measures to mitigate a no—deal for the uk. the rhetoric of the campaign, the rhetoric of the referendum itself colliding now with the harsh and brutal reality of the negotiation, and that is what we will see play out, and i think the eu is preparing itself for that, ready for what it sees coming.

thank you very much for that update. two lines of breaking news to bring you. we are hearing the secretary of state for housing has resigned and the transport secretary chris grayling has also returned to the backbenches. he is another that has resigned. in keeping with what we had scenes of fire, this is the night of long knives of art. a number of sackings, some supply sackings, as well. this will look like a completely new cabinet. there is james brogan shire's tweet... that is quite interesting. that is the latest state of play and people that are leaving the cabinet. we

will of course bring in more detail as we get it. now for the weather. a lot going on in the weather. we could set the all—time uk temperature record tomorrow. the current mark to beta 38.5 celsius. tomorrow afternoon we could hit 39 degrees across kent and greater london. they are likely to be the hotspots. 0vernight tonight we have clear skies for the most part. if you showers for northern ireland. another warm night for sleeping. temperatures still into the low 20s across much of england and wales. slowly slipping down into the teens later on in the night. the most co mforta ble later on in the night. the most comfortable across northern and western parts of the country. tomorrow we have south—easterly winds join tomorrow we have south—easterly windsjoin up tomorrow we have south—easterly winds join up some very hot from across spain and france and moving it into south—east england. the highest temperatures. plenty of sunshine, but if you shower are northern ireland and later in the

days storage breaking out temperature surge, potentially, to which a new national territory record. eyes expected to reach 39 celsius. that is your weather.

welcome back here to westminster. we will bring you back to date with all the events. after returning from meeting the queen, borisjohnson after returning from meeting the queen, boris johnson gave after returning from meeting the queen, borisjohnson gave his first speech on the steps of downing street. 0utlining a number of domestic policies, too. before we go any further, let us take a quick listen to what he had to say. myjob is to make your street safer and it will begin with another 20,000 police on the streets and we start recruiting forthwith. myjob is to make sure you do not have to wait three weeks to see your gp. and we start work this week,

with 20 new hospital upgrades and ensuring that the money for the nhs really does get to the front line. myjob is to protect you your parents or grandparents from the fear of having to sell your home to pay for the costs of care. and so, i am announcing now, on the steps of downing street, that we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all with a clear plan we have prepared to give every older person older person the dignity and security they deserve. myjob is to make sure that your kids get a superb education, wherever they are in the country and that is why we have already announced that we are going to level up per pupilfunding in primary and secondary schools. and that is the work that begins immediately behind that black door. and though i am today building a great team of men and women,

i will take personal responsibility for the change i want to see. never mind the backstop, the buck stops here. next, to ourfriends in ireland and in brussels and around the eu, i am convinced we can do a deal without checks at the irish border, because we refuse under any circumstances to have such checks. and yet, without that anti—democratic backstop. and it is, of course, vital at the same time that we prepare for the remote possibility that brussels refuses any further to negotiate. and we are forced to come out with no deal. not because we want that outcome, of course not. but because it is only common sense to prepare. and let me stress that there is a vital sense in which those preparations cannot be wasted. that is because, under any circumstances, we will need to get ready, at some point

in the near future, to come out of the eu customs union and out of regulatory control. fully determined, at last, to take advantage of brexit. because that is the course of which this country is now set, with high hearts and growing confidence, we will now accelerate work getting ready. the ports will be ready and the banks will be ready, the factories will be ready and business will be ready and the hospitals will be ready and our amazing food and farming sector will be ready and waiting to continue selling ever more not just here, but around the world. do not forget, that in the event of a no deal outcome, we will have that extra lubrication of the £39 billion. and whatever deal we do, we will prepare this autumn for an economic package to best british business and to lengthen this country's lead as the number

one destination in this continent for overseas investment. to all those who continue to prophesy is disaster, i say yes, there will be difficulties, they will be phyla serious than some have claimed. if there is one thing that has really zapped the confidence of business over the last three years, it is not the decisions we have taken, it is our refusal to take decisions. no one in the last few centuries has exceeded in betting against the plucking nerve and ambition of this country. they will not succeed today. we, in this government, will work flat out to give this country the leadership deserves. that work begins now. very striking, the ambition in that speech. somebody chanting at the gate. what a precarious moment it

is, as well, for borisjohnson. he will depend greatly on his cabinet and there has been a lot of change already. let us be up—to—date with the sackings and resignations of ministers. chris grayling, the transport secretary has resigned any past our cabinet. so to, the community secretary james brokenshire. he announced in twitter in in last hour that he will be leaving the government. likewise, education secretary damien hinds has tweeted to say he has left government. here is a surprising one, penny mordaunt, newly in the role as defence secretary. leaving after only two months on the job. she had backed jeremy hunt in the leadership race. she is a brexiteer, but she is gone. another, liam fox, the international trade secretary.

he will be heading to the backbenches. jeremy hunt, we do not have any information on him at the moment. we do know about the business secretary greg clark, in opposition to a new deal brexit very publicly. he has been sacked. theresa may's former... he gave his notice after the former prime minister resigned. 0f notice after the former prime minister resigned. of course, the chancellor, philip hammond going earlier in the data forjust hearing, northern ireland secretary karen bradley has resigned. that follows the earlier resignation, as i say, of rory stewart, international development secretary and philip hammond earlier in the day. i was just looking at some of the tweets they had any last hour. starting to look like the night of the long knives. nigel morris has just tweeted that he has already broken a modern political record.

nine cabinet ministers have been sacked so far. it is a complete clear out. let us discuss a little bit of that. deputy political editor of the sunday times is with me. so much to say. let us start, martha, with what is going on across the road, at the moment. there is nothing for loyalty here, we have just seen that with james brokenshire. no, that is very order. he would have thought... it is going to bea he would have thought... it is going to be a very inner circle cabinet that boris is going to promote, but no. he is stacking a lot of people. he has cited various people who have said it could not countenance no—deal. that is to be protected, because of course... he wants to be

very sure that they will stick behind him if that was the case. of course, there is no cabinet responsibility in the final months of theresa may's government. i suppose, if the are going to be so bold in your ambitions, everybody has to be on board with a mission. absolutely, he has made that very clear. he does not want to have a cabinet that was anyway divided in a position towards brexit. he wanted to mixture everybody was signed up to mixture everybody was signed up to the idea of living with or without a deal on october the 31st. which is why i think we may have seen some of those people shown the door. of course, there are also people that supported jeremy hunt in a leadership race. perhaps he has not about that and wondered about whether they were loyal to him and loyal to his mission, which may be another reason why they have been resigned or sacked. the one we are all rather perplexed about is penny mordaunt. of course, she had only beenin mordaunt. of course, she had only been in her rule for two months. as you said, it was a job that she

loved and she only did an interview with us last week where she talked about how important that rule was to her. it is quite surprising that she has gone, potentially as a speculative mother that she may be promoted. their research suggestions that she and hunt could have been doing a job swap. one wonders what is happened there, given we have had no news on where jeremy hunt is headed. the man who was always accused of knifing, michael gove, has been brought even closer, we think. there are rumours that michael gove will be promoted. that kind of makes sense to boris. he has his very grand plans, but he is likely to do a lot of delegation. he has very clear ideas and he is one who boris might want to delegate to. that sense and it might make sense of bringing the tory party together.

it is interesting listening to nigel eva ns, it is interesting listening to nigel evans, quite excited about dominic cummings coming back. of course, dominic cummings and michael gove really did push the eurosceptics, those who have long been eurosceptics, away from vote lead. he is seen as a very divisive figure. many people who are devoted to him would not want to serve and a administration he was a part of. if you think about some of those key appointments that have already been made, we have seen, we expect,... of course, saying that michael gove, he was part and one of the architects of borisjohnson of was part and one of the architects of boris johnson of that referendum campaign. so, of course, it will be interesting to see how people respond that, even within the brexit camp itself. i think it is very demonstrative of the fact that actually he is very serious about his mission here. we are going to leave with or without a dale on

october the 31st. he wants to underline that with wisdom and that is exactly what is going to do. of course, there will be some bruised egos across the road tomorrow. when he comes to the dispatch box and makes his statement to the house. do you envisage that they might call a vote of confidence in him immediately or do you think they will wait? i think they're likely to wait, at this point the top but actually, boris does have a job to do. he is at risk of leaning to 40 words the hard brexit side of the party to set out what is mission might be. actually, given the fact that he has had that strong statement, of the do or die, he actually has quite a lot of work to do to get other tories aboard. i mean, most of the tory votes they lost to the brexit party actually support boris very strongly. it is the rest of the party he needs to start banging back on board. we will

probably see that in his domestic policy and in other point that he might make leisure on. lovely to see both. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us. lots of sackings, not many appointments yet. but you might have something in the thing. let us go to downing street. sajid javid is the first person to walk into number ten, which would suggest he may be one of the lucky ones who has survived what seems to be a bit of a cold of the cabinet. so, sajid javid has gone in. the gates havejust cabinet. so, sajid javid has gone in. the gates have just opened, another car is arriving, we may see somebody else. there has been a lot of speculation about whether sajid javid will become the chancellor. he, of course, stood for the leadership himself. it was felt that he get himself quite a lot of favours during that campaign and races profile. he was not a brexiteerjoin the referendum, although for some that was quite

surprising. although speculation has been around whether he will take thatjobjust read their been around whether he will take thatjob just read their number 11 downing st in the treasury. we will have to wait and see. borisjohnson is not here at the moment, he is still over ashley house of comments having these, well a very large number of conversations with people. and sacking them, i think they are up and sacking them, i think they are up to 11 or12 and sacking them, i think they are up to 11 or 12 of the cabinet to have gone. they have been a mixture of brexiteers, of some who have backed boris johnson and of brexiteers, of some who have backed borisjohnson and some who haven't. but it looks pretty breathless. it seems that boris johnson may be deciding that he has to have people around him in his cabinet that totally supported leadership. notjust as the of brexit and the idea of leaving without a deal at the end of october, but also that you support him personally as prime minister. so, will have to wait and see when his appointment start. but it does that they may be starting very simple. the one we are of course

looking out for is the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt. if rumours are correct, then yesterday on the sidelines of the announcement he was offered the position of defence secretary. now that penny mordaunt has gone, that is vacant. so, do you think there may be some effort in the background there to try and urge him to stay young? i mean, it is possible. we have seen him and his wife going into the house of commons. we think he may be in there with boris johnson right commons. we think he may be in there with borisjohnson right now. the problem is that that is a demotion. he has to decide if he is not going to be foreign secretary and not have any of the other top jobs, that is a home office or chancellor, then is he willing to accept estate in the cabinet, have a job, he willing to accept estate in the cabinet, have ajob, but he willing to accept estate in the cabinet, have a job, but not the one he really wanted. so, i think that of the difficult decision for him. but again, i think it is interesting that my colleagues are over in the house of commons had in speaking to people over there, speaking to friends of boris johnson people over there, speaking to friends of borisjohnson who are actually, some of them, little bit concerned about how wide—ranging

this reshuffle is. the fact that they are getting rate of people like penny moment to everybody thought was well—suited to the job of defence secretary. why has she been sacked? defence secretary. why has she been sacked ? obviously, defence secretary. why has she been sacked? obviously, you always worry about the repercussions, because you are causing ill will. that always happens, of course, with reshuffles and boris johnson's team happens, of course, with reshuffles and borisjohnson's team are very keen to bring in new faces. they may be people coming back, people like dominic raab, the question is how many new faces will there be? we will find out later on this evening. aside from a new look cabinets, i sense we were see a new style of government, as well. one of the things we heard about borisjohnson when he was the london mayor, was that he delegated and pick people around and that did have talents and may be dead had the attention to detail. theresa may kept a very tight leash and all the departments, do you sense that is a match is going to give my leash to some of these cabinet colleagues?”

going to give my leash to some of these cabinet colleagues? i think he might do, but i think other people have said that when you are prime minister, it isjust have said that when you are prime minister, it is just a have said that when you are prime minister, it isjust a constant, all day having to make decisions, important decisions. in the end, you can delegate to a certain amount, but you do have to meet the decision—maker. boris johnson acknowledged that in his speech, saying the buck stops at him and he knows decisions need to be made. so, i think knows decisions need to be made. so, ithinki knows decisions need to be made. so, i think i should point you can delegate and borisjohnson's i think i should point you can delegate and boris johnson's friend certainly do legacy templates that there was when he was london mayor, but let us base it, it is a job on a com pletely but let us base it, it is a job on a completely different scale. i wonder if he will have a team who are brexit delivery, if you like, he may focus on that and that is why you have seen today the backroom staff here, a lot of them coming straight from that vote leave campaign, people like dominic cummings and others, making sure they ensure that happens. and get other people focusing on the other element of government, which boris johnson focusing on the other element of government, which borisjohnson did speak about. it was pretty

wide—ranging his promises, talking about school funding, social care thatis about school funding, social care that is a huge one for the incredibly controversial over the yea rs, incredibly controversial over the years, no government has managed to tackle that in any meaningful way. it is always ended any termination, because it will cost money. if he has put that in that speech promising to get it sorted, that is quite a bold promise. we welcome back to, thank you very much. let us go around the uk. let us go first to chris page instrument. chris, northern ireland very much at the sharp end of this. yes, certainly is. the news we have had any last few minutes is that there will be a new secretary of state for northern ireland. the current person in the job can't badly is leaving the government. 30 say she did not have much respect amongst the parties here at stormont. whoever replaces here at stormont. whoever replaces her will have a key role in the

nokia she is an superstore parasite. nokia she is an superstore parasite. no government here for two and i have years since power—sharing between the democratic unionist and sinn fein, the biggest irish national party said they expect to expect to speak to borisjohnson on the phone tonight. they are going to tell him that the approach needs to change and sending messages the prime minister that there is no such thing as a good brexit. northern ireland, as you say, in many ways at the sharp end of brexit because of that border with the irish republic. dup, the biggest party in northern ireland, will be of critical importance to the prime minister. there are ten mps probably government in westminster. that is the view in northern ireland, let us go over to scotland. scotland's first minister has been responding to the speech saying behind all the make britain great again type rhetoric, the speech was rambling

and blame shifting and divorced from reality. i think, and blame shifting and divorced from reality. ithink, perhaps, what concerned him most is the comments he said no eggs, no buts, we were becoming out of the eu by october the 30 firsts. remember, the snp oppose a no said. they will fight that and boris johnson said there oppose a no said. they will fight that and borisjohnson said there is a slim possibility that might happen and that we have to ramp up the preparations. she was not impressed by his comments today and we will see that story continue to unfold, if, as expected, borisjohnson visit scotland to make a major speech on the union within the next three days another thing to watch out for, what happens to the scottish secretary the stop we are hearing all about her reshuffle. he has not been a fan of borisjohnson in her reshuffle. he has not been a fan of boris johnson in the her reshuffle. he has not been a fan of borisjohnson in the past. interesting to see what happens to him for that is the situation here in scotland, what about wales? and we are waiting to hear about the position of the secretary of state for wales. he has been a supporter

of borisjohnson for wales. he has been a supporter of boris johnson in for wales. he has been a supporter of borisjohnson in a leadership campaign. he gave an initial response to borisjohnson speech as prime minister, which he called superb. setting out a clear direction of course that we can now ta ke direction of course that we can now take and deliver brexit. he said he was pleased that borisjohnson had highlighted the awesome foursome, including wales, of great nations in the uk and how we can gather them in every committee has not now, the welsh government here in cardiff, has been apprehensive of what boris johnson premiership could actually mean. because they are very much at oddsin mean. because they are very much at odds in terms of the messages we have had from the welsh government ministers, that no—deal backs it must be ruled out. of course we heard from borisjohnson that there must be no x or bites about coming out before the end of october. he was very out before the end of october. he was very firm on that. thank you very much. another little line of

breaking news. sajid javid going into number ten breaking news. sajid javid going into numberten in breaking news. sajid javid going into number ten in the last few minutes, ican into number ten in the last few minutes, i can tie that betty patel has also gone in there. but of rumours that she is putting around for a newjob. people starting to arrive at downing street, as we were hearing just a few minutes ago no sign of boris johnson hearing just a few minutes ago no sign of borisjohnson yet. he is still, we think, across the road tying up some of those sackings and tie up those people who will be staying in a cabinet forthwith. so, with a bay more details as we get them from downing street. as we have been hearing, the most important challenge facing the new prime minister is brexit and in particular, trying to avoid a heart irish border. let us speak to, oh, she is not there. back to that day. some of the key people who have

backed borisjohnson, they are looking like they are going to get some plum jobs in cabinet. yes, looking like they are going to get some plumjobs in cabinet. yes, we did have a lot of rumours about sajid javid probably being chancellor. patel may become secretary. that would make sense, given you probably bringing the most senior positions first. the fact that the two them are actually inside number ten, boris johnson that the two them are actually inside number ten, borisjohnson not here yet, although we think he is eminently on the way back. in order to do the nicer part of his job, having sacked, i mean, an awfully large percentage of the cabinet. you're wondering why he did notjust call a cabinet meeting and sack them altogether. hardly any of them have survived so far. so, it is a real clear and obviously, some of the survivors, sajid javid obviously. of course patel also job, survivors, sajid javid obviously. of course patel alsojob, she was forced to resign, you know, with a cloud over her, really. she had been

secretly having meetings with the israelis while on holiday there as international developer secretary and had to resign. it looks like she is on her way back and may well be home secretary. although comes from a different approach as boris johnson really on on issues like that. absolutely a brexiteer. went on that bus with borisjohnson a lot of times out campaigning for brexit. 0k, of times out campaigning for brexit. ok, i know you will be with us through the evening. we'll be following his appointment in the cabinets. some prominent ones are far, some sackings that we had been looking at. penny mordaunt and also we have known, we have seen that the chancellor has gone earlier in the day. also, liam fox, the secretary for international trade. we will keep you up to the hour but things that are going on. but first, let us pause and take a look at the

it is been a hot day today. temperatures pushing into the 30s. tomorrow get even hotter. current national record is 38.5 degrees, this is under threat tomorrow afternoon when we could see cabbages oddly up to 39 celsius. greater london area looked like the places to set a new chapter bracket. clear skies overnight, northern ireland bit more cloud and the threat of a future which. a warm start to the night, those cabbages will eventually come down towards the end of the night into the teens. that ta kes of the night into the teens. that takes into thursday, south—easterly when spilling up hot air from takes into thursday, south—easterly when spilling up hot airfrom spain and france and dumping it into south—east england. we will see the highest amateurs there. lots of sunshine in england, wales and scotland. northern ireland has mcleod with passing showers, across the south—east we will see the highest temperatures. very hot day coming up the temperatures up to 39

degrees. after three years of unfounded self doubt, it is time to change the record. to recover our natural and historic role, as an enterprising, outward looking and truly global britain. the united kingdom has a new prime minister — borisjohnson is in downing street. he is the queen's 14th prime minister. he says he'll succeed on brexit where theresa may failed. we're going to fulfill the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the eu on october 31st, no ifs or buts. but he'll face obstacles. climate change protesters in his path today — but there'll be opposition on brexit too — even within his own party.
