tv Breakfast BBC News September 5, 2022 6:00am-9:01am BST
6:00 am
hello, this is breakfast with me, jon key, in downing street, and sally nugent in the studio on the day the new prime minister is announced. eight weeks, eight candidates, six rounds of voting — in just a few hours we will find whether rishi sunak or liz truss will succeed borisjohnson. but with a rise in the energy price cap just weeks away, there's not much time for the new occupant of number 10 to set out how they will support families this winter. there are 36,000 children below the poverty line here in leeds. to give you an idea, leeds united's elland road football stadium —
6:01 am
they'd fill it. and it's not just and it's notjust families feeling the pinch. i am and it's notjust families feeling the pinch. iam in and it's notjust families feeling the pinch. i am in leeds talking to businesses about the unprecedented pressure they are under and what they want from the next prime minister. in other news this morning... a manhunt is underway in canada after at least 10 people were killed and 15 injured in a series of stabbings. three men have been arrested in connection with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool. good morning. in sport, manchester united making their mark — rashford scores twice to secure a fourth straight premier league win to end arsenal's winning start. and you may have had a disturbed last night with plenty of stories. what a con this week, some sunshine in between. will the areas that need rainfall get it? i will heavier full forecast here on breakfast.
6:02 am
good morning, it's monday 5th september. welcome monday 5th september. to downing street. after almost two months of campaigning, eight candidates and thousands of votes — in just a few hours time either liz truss or rishi sunak will be named the new leader of the conservative party — and britain's next prime minister. downing street, one of the most famous addresses anywhere in the world. one of them delicate is about to become its new inhabitants. larry has just to become its new inhabitants. larry hasjust emerged. he has to become its new inhabitants. larry has just emerged. he has catted them out over the years. they'll officially take up that post tomorrow, bringing borisjohnson�*s three year premiership to an end. todayis today is the day when we find out who it's going to be. our political correspondent iain watson has this report. i'm always going to respond to support people through it. i would reverse the increase in national insurance. the nhs will be safe in my hands.
6:03 am
i want everybody across our great country to have opportunity. after six weeks of slugging it out, it's no longer time for campaigning, but for governing. and today we discover whether it's liz truss or rishi sunak who gets the keys to downing street. pollsters have declared liz truss the favourite — and, if she wins today, she'd said she will announce substantial support to help with the cost of living within a week. i understand that people are struggling with eye—watering energy bills, and there are predictions of even worse down the track. if i'm elected as prime minister, i will act immediately on bills and on energy supply. if rishi sunak pulls off an upset, he said he'd target more help to the most vulnerable. but thoughts are also turning to what he'll do if he doesn't get the top job. i'm going to stay as a member of parliament and i was really delighted... actually, i finished this campaign
6:04 am
on friday at home in yorkshire with my own members, which was really lovely, and it's been a great privilege to represent them as their member of parliament for richmond in north yorkshire. i'd love to keep doing that as long as they'll have me. so, with downing street preparing to welcome the new prime minister, how did we get here? well, we've had a summer of heated debates and competing policy pledges, but the whole process only got under way after partygate had undermined boris johnson's authority. then his handling of sexual—assault allegations against a government whip was the final straw for many of his own ministers. it is clearly now the will of— the parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore - a new prime minister. there's no shortage of conservative mps who wanted to replace him, but in a series of votes their fellow tories whittled the candidates down to the final two. rishi sunak and liz truss will be the candidates going forward. the contest moved from westminster to the wider membership, who quizzed the candidates at events
6:05 am
around the country. the big division was over whether to cut taxes now or later. while the venues changed, the key messages didn't — with the same lines repeated again... i will lower taxes. what i will not do is pursue policies that risk making inflation far worse. ..and again. we need to keep our taxes low. what i will not do is pursue policies that risk making inflation far worse. the biggest challenge for the new prime minister is to tackle the uk's cost—of—living crisis, but uniting the party after a bruising two—month battle may be no less difficult. iain watson, bbc news. we understand boris johnson we understand borisjohnson has really been living here —— has not been living here for the last week, he has based himself at chequers while everything is moved from his flat here and then somebody�*s stuff or moving tomorrow. it is notjust
6:06 am
today that the announcement will be a big deal, it is a huge week and we will be right across it for you. let me run you through the times and days you need to know. at around 12:30pm, that is when it is time to watch bbc news or switch on the app. around 12:30 today, either liz truss or rishi sunak will be crowned the winner of the conservative leadership contest and the country's next prime minister. the queen will then formally appoint them to their post tomorrow, at balmoral. that is what the first time ever. she is staying there at this summer, she is not flying back to london to do that. after that, the new prime minister will address the nation for the first time from downing street. tomorrow afternoon into the evening, the new leader will likely begin to appoint their top government team. it's expected the first cabinet meeting will take place on wednesday, before the new leader of the conservative party appears at prime minister's questions.
6:07 am
straight in at the deep end, facing keir starmer in the house of commons. a newjob, then you have to address the nation and then you base the leader of the opposition in front of the country. big deal and a huge amount in that in tray inside that building for them to deal with. as a prime minister ever taken over at a more challenging time? someone else has a newjob. i'm joined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. thank you forjoining us and well done! it is interesting, looking at the papers, hardly a mention of rishi sunak stop it is liz truss, liz truss, liz truss. is she inevitably the winner? irate liz truss, liz truss. is she inevitably the winner? we will know for sure at 12:30pm _ inevitably the winner? we will know for sure at 12:30pm but _ inevitably the winner? we will know for sure at 12:30pm but i'm - for sure at 12:30pm but i'm struggling to find anybody who thinks liz truss is not going to be prime minister tomorrow. even chatting to some of rishi sunak�*s a close allies last night, they were talking about the margin of victory saying it might be a bit closer than
6:08 am
some are expecting but not really saying that their man was going to win. to be honest, that has been the case for a few weeks. liz truss has been quite a bit ahead, tory members who have made this decision liked her plan to cut taxes. they liked her plan to cut taxes. they liked her rhetoric about growing the economy. they want something to change in there. the big question for liz truss now is how quickly she can deliver what she has promised. one of the key thing is, the most memorable things she said during the campaign was no more hand—outs, right at the beginning, to help with energy bills. this morning, interestingly, let me show you the front pages. the daily telegraph well connected with the conservative party, saying she could freeze bills to avoid energy armageddon. talking about a massive funding scheme, billions and billions of pounds, on a parallel with furlough the times have a similar story. liz truss team
6:09 am
holding talks on freezing energy bills. it feels like something has shifted dramatically in the last couple of weeks. fix, shifted dramatically in the last couple of weeks.— shifted dramatically in the last couple of weeks. a firm prediction, b the end couple of weeks. a firm prediction, by the end of— couple of weeks. a firm prediction, by the end of the _ couple of weeks. a firm prediction, by the end of the week _ couple of weeks. a firm prediction, by the end of the week we'll- couple of weeks. a firm prediction, by the end of the week we'll be - by the end of the week we'll be talking about more hand—outs to combat the increasing cost of energy, the cost—of—living crisis. quite exactly what they are, a team are very tight—lipped on, but there have been talks with the energy companies of the last few weeks from senior people in her team, the feeling among some of the energy sector is we are heading for something that looks like a price cap... maybe not the same as the price cap... sorry, price freeze the labour that the labour and liberal democrat voice abbey talking about. don't know what it will look like, whether it will apply to everybody, but the feeling i'm getting speaking to people around liz truss is that later this week, probably thursday or friday, we will get a big intervention. she will commit to
6:10 am
spending tens of billions of pounds, may £100 billion, on a raft of measures including tax cuts, but including help with energy bills. that is the big thing she has been under pressure, and for weeks and weeks we have been popping up on tv on breakfast talking about liz truss making a pitch to tory members. assuming it is her, she will start to pivot to talking to the public over the next 2a hours, talking to voters who are really worried about the cost—of—living crisis and i think she will come up with something big later this week. bi; something big later this week. by now, thank you very much indeed. let's stay with that, talking about families around the country and watch the new prime minister will deliver them. as we've been reporting, the most immediate challenge facing the new prime minister is the soaring cost—of—living. john maguire has been to yorkshire to get a sense of how it's impacting people's lives — from families in leeds, where liz truss grew up, to the heart of rishi sunak�*s constituency of richmond. two parts of one county have been
6:11 am
instrumental in the bid to become our next prime minister. leeds — where liz truss grew up — and richmond, where rishi sunak is the mp, both in yorkshire. well, good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to our family cookery club! i hope you're all ready to go. today, we're going to be making a one—pot harvest pork casserole. it's a really good filling recipe, this, and the thing is that we've got meat, but we've also got loads of vegetables that fill you up and it's obviously much cheaper than the meat. this cookery course, in the bramley area of leeds, is teaching families wholesome — and, crucially, affordable — recipes. well done. it's run by flourishing families — a local charity set up in response to tough times. there are 36,000 children below the poverty line here in leeds. to give you an idea, leeds united's elland road football stadium — they'd fill it. there was a guy who came
6:12 am
here with his three children to one of our cookery clubs. he came here because he was living off pasta and a tin of tomatoes pretty well every night. when they came, we found out that his children would go to school in their pyjamas because they couldn't afford to buy clothes. so we bought them some warm jumpers for christmas last year. that was last year. now that same guy is saying to us, he doesn't know how he's going to survive this winter. he's worried his kids are going to starve. so that's why we started it. the need isjust so vast. and now, life is even harder — with fuel bills especially causing great concern and changing people's lives. i live on toast and cereals, basically — most days, that's what i am now. that's what i have. now and again, potato...corned beef. cheap stuff, really. each session costs just £1, including the ingredients. scott is a regular, and now plans to volunteer on the courses. he says he's making sacrifices for the sake of his daughters.
6:13 am
i've had to cut down meals myself, you know? i've missed a few meals to obviously support these two. you know, i've gone from... i've gone down to, like, the basic stuff, you know, to cheaper food, to obviously try and help, you know, the girls. i've never thought in my life i'd ever have to do that — ever. there's now a new emphasis on the course — recipes that can be cooked without an oven. we're going to be using the microwave much more. and, in fact, we're going to have a slow—cooker appeal so that every family is given a slow cooker and taught how to use it so that they get a bag of ingredients to use with a slow cooker, alongside the meal that they cook at a cookery club. so what should the prime minister do, day one in the job, to help families like this? i think they need to realise how seriously desperate this situation is. i don't think it's been taken seriously enough. i think people are really, really struggling, and we need targeted interventions that help those who are the poorest and the most economically vulnerable.
6:14 am
and my concern is that it's going to be the richest people who are helped the most out of some of the interventions that are suggested. and it's not going to the people who really need it. head north for 75 miles, and this is richmond — rishi suna k�*s constituency. it's really busy during the week, as well — notjust on sundays — but we actually have youth, young adult, family programmes happening most days of the week. this former cinema is now home to the influence church, where members and volunteers offer help through food, school uniforms, and even baby bundles for new mums. what we do, we get brand—new moses baskets with a mattress in so that the baby's going to be nice and safe. and then we put in donations — usually a pile of a different variety of baby clothes. we then try to top it up with some things like nappies, baby wipes, obviously some baby lotion. how are you doing? you ok? i'm ok, thank you, yeah. how are things at work? things at work are ok. yeah?
6:15 am
yeah. better than last week? karen has recently moved to the area, after working in moscow. well, currently i'm stocking up on blankets, and i bought a minus—seven—degree sleeping bag and... yeah, and i boughta crank up... a crank—up, sort of, like, lantern, as well. if the electricity goes down, you know, i've still got light and things, you know? despite having experienced russian winters, she's worried about getting through the coming british one. lots of people need support from a place like this, and it's going to get worse and worse — especially as the energy bills are going to go up, and the gas bills, as well. people say the support they receive here is vital. a big difference to us — a big difference. you know... you know what food is now in shops, and that. obviously it's free — you know, you get it all for free. and it's fantastic, really, that we're getting this, you know? really is. it may be a big if, but if the local mp becomes pm, what should he do?
6:16 am
these are people who are often overlooked, often missed — you know, misunderstood sometimes, as well. but these are people who need the support of their prime minister to really champion them for whatever that may be — you know, some people, it's championing them in employment. some people it's championing them with their mental—health issues. some people, it canjust be championing them with their finances and also their need for there to be a resolution around certain issues — certainly around energy and money and things like that. so, yeah, really, really want our prime minister to be someone who champions people and cares for those at the fringes and at the edges of society. the new prime minister will have to work hard and to work fast — the need among so many people right across the uk is severe, and it's urgent. john maguire, bbc news, yorkshire. those are the kinds of stories and messages from people all over the uk
6:17 am
that will be ringing in the ears of whichever of these candidates becomes prime minister and crosses the threshold tomorrow. they won't have much time to enjoy the trappings of office i get used to the surroundings, they have got a huge amount to deal with immediately. we will talk about some of those challenges, the various options during the programme this morning. we will hear from options during the programme this morning. we will hearfrom labour in about 20 minutes about what they are thinking at this moment, where does this leave them if the new prime minister gets a bit of a bounce in the polls. lots more coverage throughout the programme and we will look at the highs and lows of boris johnson's time at this address. but first let's go back to sally in the studio. thank you, we will come back to you later in the programme. police in canada are hunting for two men after at least ten people were killed and 15 others injured in a series of mass stabbings. the attacks took place across 13 locations in saskatchewan province.

6:19 am
scene, they noticed the course kept coming in and it turns out there were 13 different crime scenes, where people were either killed or injured and that includes a nearby community of a little village of only about 200 people. both of those places were targeted. we know police have given very few details but the details we do know is these two people, they will share a last name although we don't know if they are related. two men in their early 30s. the people that they hurt were both targeted and it was also a random attack, so there are so many unanswered questions.- attack, so there are so many unanswered questions. what can you tell us about — unanswered questions. what can you tell us about the _ unanswered questions. what can you tell us about the community - unanswered questions. what can you tell us about the community where i tell us about the community where this has happened? it is tell us about the community where this has happened?— this has happened? it is really not remote by saskatchewan - this has happened? it is really not i remote by saskatchewan standards. this has happened? it is really not - remote by saskatchewan standards. to give you a little background on saskatchewan we are a smack in the middle of the prairies, landlocked in the middle of canada and where
6:20 am
the nation is located four hours from where i am. it is a community of about 1000 people. it is about an hour to the nearest hospital so that should give you a really good idea of the magnitude of this situation. we had airambulances, of the magnitude of this situation. we had air ambulances, so helicopters, flying into transport the victims to hospital and right now they are scattered in medical centres and hospitals all across saskatchewan and, like i said earlier, there could be more victims we don't know about. here in regina, they were spotted earlier. the details since that new spotting are very spotty. we also heard from rcmp this afternoon and most recently the
6:21 am
local police chief here you is saying they are treating this situation as though the two suspects are still in the city and it is a pretty big time for regina, there is a big holiday, there is a big football game, tens of thousand people here alone. it is a party weekend and the spirits were certainly dampened when police are said to stay home if you can. people still went to the big game in downtown regina but people are still on edge. downtown regina but people are still on edae. . ~ downtown regina but people are still on edae. ., ~ i. downtown regina but people are still on edae. . ~ i. downtown regina but people are still on edae. . ~' ,, . ., on edge. thank you so much for aaivin us on edge. thank you so much forl giving us more information about on edge. thank you so much for - giving us more information about the story that has been developing overnight. that isjessie anton reporting for us. three men have been arrested in connection with the death of olivia pratt—korbel. the nine—year—old was shot dead in her home in liverpool two weeks ago. danjohnson has the latest. it's now two weeks since olivia was shot dead, when a gunman chased someone into her house and started firing.
6:22 am
just a few days ago, merseyside police released this footage of a man running away — the man they believe was responsible. and what happened behind this door has now brought more arrests — 12 miles away in runcorn, a 34—year—old man from liverpool held on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder of olivia's mother, cheryl, who's still being treated for the injuries she received trying to keep her daughter safe. a 41—year—old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. as was a 29—year—old, arrested yesterday afternoon in liverpool. the killing has stunned a community and a city, and during saturday's everton—liverpool derby, this. commentator: we've reached nine. minutes and the supporters here have come together to remember nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, who was tragically killed in the south of the city. and our thoughts and prayers are with olivia's family and loved ones.

6:27 am
here of some of their philanthropic work and the good things that they do — notjust the friction with the family. and that family friction has been exacerbated by high—profile interviews — most notably opposite oprah winfrey in march 2021. meghan spoke of her deep unhappiness, lack of royal support, and the bombshell claim that, prior to son archie's birth, a racist comment had been made by an unnamed royal about the colour of their baby's skin. in between events, engagements, and a growing number of legal actions, the revelations have kept coming. there's harry's much—anticipated autobiography. and just last month, meghan gave a lengthy interview in which she was asked about forgiveness between her, her family and the royal family. she said... the suggestion that there may be more to reveal. the streaming giants spotify and netflix, which have paid them millions of dollars for content, should be delighted to hear that.

6:29 am
measure like having air purifiers in classrooms can reduce indoor pollution levels by half, and scientists say stopping people driving past schools at the start and end of the school day also significantly affect air quality. a man riding an e—scooter in south london has died after a crash with a car. the metropolitan police said it happened on ferndale road in brixton on saturday evening. the 53 year—old rider of the e—scooter was taken to hospital where he passed away. there were more than 20 arrests in buckinghamshire yesterday morning at the country's biggest milk processing plant. members of the group animal rebellion blockaded arla's distribution centre in aylesbury demanding the government does more to encourage plant based farming. police said they managed to remove all protestors quickly. if you're heading on the underground or overground today look out for some new green spaces which have popped up. it's because staff have been allowed
6:30 am
to use quiet corners and areas of stations to brighten up and create small gardens. the new displays are also intended to help make travelling more welcoming and pleasant for both customers and staff. people like it and it just uplifts me to see the smile on people's faces. people have a lot of discussion with me about what flowers i put in, and, you know, that they love the garden and it's nice, when you've had a hard day at work to come through and just see brightness. it's just uplifting and just nice and tranquil. a look at the tube board now. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. you may well have been woken up through the early hours of this morning by a band of heavy, thundery showers moving north eastwards across the capital. that band of showers has now of course cleared but there is a deep area of low pressure sitting out towards the west of us that's going to be throwing some more showers as we head through the next few days also, a brisk
6:31 am
and southerly wind at times. also some sunny spells, temperatures are lower than they have been but still above the average for the time of year. get set for a rather unsettled week of weather ahead. but it is a dry start to this morning. there is some mist and also some cloud around, particularly towards eastern areas but it will slowly brighten up as we had throughout the morning. sunny spells but watch out for some more showers that will get going through the late morning and into the afternoon. possibly another rumble of thunder or two at times, temperatures peaking in the low 20s in celsius and there's quite a fresh southerly wind blowing as well. as we head through this evening and overnight, there could be another band of thundery showers again moving north—eastwards, but also some clear spells around. we start the day tomorrow on a mild note. more sunny spells but also some more showers in the forecast tomorrow and wednesday. there's more on bbc radio london — and there's a lot of talk about the announcement of who our next prime minister will be later today.
6:32 am
hello, you're watching breakfast. in just a matter of hours we'll find out who will be our next prime minister, liz truss or rishi sunak. liz truss is the frontrunner according to the book makers. the front door of number 10 is gleaming this morning, it hasjust been polished, a man has been out there with a duster and the spray and it is looking as shiny as it ever does, the door bell on the right—hand side, the letterbox, all of them shining for this day. the world's attention is going to be on the famous address today because we are going to find out at about lunchtime, 12:30pm, which of them it is going to be, truss or sue nack. when they walk across the threshold,

the cost of living crisis. it's hard to imagine a time when a new prime minister has taken over with such a burning issue facing them, so much to sort out, millions of families waiting for her news about what help they might get. nina is in leeds at a market to see what people want from their new prime minister. morning, sparkling and shining here at kirkgate markets, places like this are just as important as downing street when it comes to new policies. there are 600 stalls in kirkgate markets, the biggest indoor market in europe, no exaggeration to say that the policies of whoever gets the next prime ministerjob could make or break the business is
6:34 am
here. let's have a look at the economic challenges facing our next prime minister. let's begin with inflation, that is the rapid rate at which prices are rising, already at 10.1%, predictions are it will head higher. much higher, 13% come winter, perhaps even higher than that. interest rates are not the tool used by the bank of england in ordered to curb inflation. they are already at 1.7 5% and rising, they do so down inflation because you reduce spending but it is massive if your mortgage goes up. and their energy bills affecting every household and business. by october the typical dual fuel bill will go up the typical dual fuel bill will go up to £3500 the typical dual fuel bill will go up to e3500 and possibly even higher, much higher, comejanuary. let's talk to some of the people running these stills. we chatted to

6:39 am
in vat once prices go above £3000 in average and targeted support for vulnerable households. we cannot stress enough the challenge facing our next prime minister when it comes to the economy. debt is at a record high, the value of the pound has been wobbling, and there are pressures outside of their control when it comes to ukraine and russia and fluctuating markets. they have had a gruelling eight weeks in the run—up to this contest but in some ways the headache may have onlyjust begun. nina, thank you very much indeed. the message from those guys in elitist, loud and clear this morning. we are —— those guys in leeds. we will hear a lot from the conservative party today, we will have the announcement at lunchtime and different wings of the tories will react to that. but let's hear from labour, where does this date leave them, what would they do if they were walking through downing

6:41 am
the big issue as we were hearing from kirkgatejust the big issue as we were hearing from kirkgate just now is the cost of living crisis and the energy bill price rises that we are seeing. £3500 by october, but up to £6,000 come next april. labour came up weeks ago with a fully funded plan to freeze energy bills at the price they are at now, despite these two conservatives battling each other for what feels like a month now through the summer, neither of them have come up with a single plan for how they are going to help people with their energy bill hikes in the coming weeks. it's extraordinary that one of them will walk into downing street today with no idea what they're going to do to help people. labour is winning the battle of ideas here, they have come up with a fully costed plan, they could do a lot worse than u—turn on what they are doing refusing help for families, look at what we have proposed and adopted it as they have done many times before, they have
6:42 am
already done this before with the windfall tax u—turn because that was the right thing to do when labour proposed it. the right thing to do when labour proposed it— proposed it. what they have both said is that _ proposed it. what they have both said is that they _ proposed it. what they have both said is that they need _ proposed it. what they have both said is that they need to - proposed it. what they have both said is that they need to get - proposed it. what they have both said is that they need to get in i said is that they need to get in there and have a look at the books and have the briefings from the treasury before they actually work out what they can do... hang treasury before they actually work out what they can do. . .— out what they can do... hang on, jon. we out what they can do... hang on, jon- we don't _ out what they can do... hang on, jon. we don't have _ out what they can do... hang on, jon. we don't have long. - out what they can do... hang on, jon. we don't have long. i - out what they can do... hang on, jon. we don't have long. i have l out what they can do... hang on, | jon. we don't have long. i have to sa , ou jon. we don't have long. i have to say. you have _ jon. we don't have long. i have to say, you have pledged _ jon. we don't have long. i have to say, you have pledged to - jon. we don't have long. i have to say, you have pledged to freeze i say, you have pledged to freeze energy bills for six months. if these rumours are right this morning, liz truss is looking at doing it for two years, potentially going further than what labour have done, are you worried about that? we have done, are you worried about that? - have got a clue what liz truss is going to do, she said a few weeks ago she would not be giving any help to families because helping families in a crisis was a neighbour idea. if she is going to u—turn on her plans, let's see it. you just said they wanted to have time to look at the books before having their plans. one of them is the foreign secretary, one of them is the chancellor. they have had all of the access they needed, they have chosen to sit on their hands and do nothing. neither
6:43 am
of them have come up with a plan, the only plan at the moment of the table is labour's. i hope they will u—turn on their plans to not help families because many families are desperately worried about their energy bills in weeks. if desperately worried about their energy bills in weeks.— energy bills in weeks. if the rumours — energy bills in weeks. if the rumours are _ energy bills in weeks. if the rumours are true _ energy bills in weeks. if the rumours are true about - energy bills in weeks. if the rumours are true about lizl energy bills in weeks. if the - rumours are true about liz truss visit wales and she wins today, that is not definite although everybody seems to be —— about liz truss freezing bills, and she wins today, is there a risk for the opposition that this is stolen away from you, that this is stolen away from you, that you have to start again, reinvent yourself and then you are on the back foot all of a sudden? they have been flip—flopping and u—turn in all all year. first they would not do a windfall tax and they did, then they said they would not cut vat while they were battling through the competition to distance himself from the record they are part of and then they would look at it. if they adopt our ideas to freeze energy bills, that is welcome. what we need to hear from liz truss and rishi sunak is how they would fund their proposals. we
6:44 am
never come on tv without being able to say how we are going to pay for what they are going to do, the tories are not telling us anything. and liz truss is proposing tax cuts for the wealthy which will not help people on average incomes at all. her tax cuts could see highest earners getting £1800 back but lowest and is going seven quid. if your energy bill goes up £5,000, what help is £7? they have got to do better than that. labour have got a plan of the table, they can u—turn, pick it up and implement it straightaway.— pick it up and implement it straightaway. pick it up and implement it straiuhtawa. ., ., , straightaway. some of your own plans have been questioned _ straightaway. some of your own plans have been questioned by _ straightaway. some of your own plans have been questioned by the - straightaway. some of your own plans have been questioned by the many i have been questioned by the many people as well, the institute for fiscal studies, we have to leave it there. —— by the money people to do but we have to leave it there, thank you. you can watch the announcement live on bbc one and iplayer. a special programme called our new prime minister starts at midday, presented by my colleague huw edwards.
6:45 am
by by the end of the programme we will know who it is. they will not be crowned or announced here in downing street, the announcement will be a short way away in central london at a conference centre where the conservative party will gather for that news. that is it for now, plenty more coverage throughout the programme. back to sally in the studio. keep this posting with the comings and goings from number 10. i am not alone, i have got marcus rashford over my shoulder and now we have got john as well. over my shoulder and now we have got john as well-— john as well. who is the happier of the two? i — john as well. who is the happier of the two? ithink— john as well. who is the happier of the two? | think it _ john as well. who is the happier of the two? | think it is _ john as well. who is the happier of the two? i think it is marcus i the two? i think it is marcus rashford- — the two? i think it is marcus rashford. yes, _ the two? i think it is marcus rashford. yes, after - the two? i think it is marcus rashford. yes, after the i the two? i think it is marcus i rashford. yes, after the problems the two? i think it is marcus - rashford. yes, after the problems he has had and — rashford. yes, after the problems he has had and the _ rashford. yes, after the problems he has had and the problems _ rashford. yes, after the problems he | has had and the problems manchester united have had, especially as they got his new manager, erik ten hag, did they know what they were doing, he lost two on the bounce. protests, was the club going in the right direction with this appointment?

6:47 am
that the team can do that, that shows that mentality, i think we really improved on that fact. we have the right characters, now it's about cooperation, get the resilience in, deal with setbacks, but also believe. you see there is still room for improvement. no improving on this. what a goal for alexis macallister as brighton beat leicester 5—2. brighton are fourth. plenty needed though for leicester, still without a win and bottom of the table. it felt for a while like we'd stopped talking about var, the video assistant review system now used in football which was meant to clear up errors, appease fans over wrong calls going against their team. it was bad this weekend, wasn't it? frustrating for those fans whose teams were affected and the
6:48 am
managers. the team that run the system, the pgmol have agreed to review two controversial incidents. you can understand why people get so angry. you can understand why people get so an: . ~ , both west ham and newcastle felt they had valid goals chalked off following the use of the system. david moyes will be frustrated because of the fact that it is not the system which is wrong, it is the way it is being used. so the system which is wrong, it is the way it is being used.— way it is being used. so does that mean the people, _ way it is being used. so does that mean the people, the _ way it is being used. so does that mean the people, the humans? l way it is being used. so does that i mean the people, the humans? that is where fingers — mean the people, the humans? that is where fingers will _ mean the people, the humans? that is where fingers will be _ mean the people, the humans? that is where fingers will be pointed. - mean the people, the humans? that is where fingers will be pointed. we i where fingers will be pointed. we will not be talking about it for much longer. are we seeing a new nick kyrgios? he's ended daniil medvedev�*s defence of his us open title. the 27—year—old australian demonstrated all of his shot—making — and propensity for creating drama — in a four sets win in the last 16. the bad boy reputation easing, he credits his run to the wimbledon final and this huge win, to a more professional approach. medvedev will lose his ranking as world number one after the defeat.
6:49 am
coco gauff is also through to last eight. the american teenager beat china's zhang shuai in straight sets. she reached the final of the french open this year, and will play france's caroline garcia in the quarterfinals. we've already showed you some great goals this morning, now how about a great putt? here's england's oliver wilson hoping to pull one off from all of 65—feet during the final round of the made in himmerland in denmark. this remarkable putt saw him take a one shot lead to the final hole. and the former ryder cup player went on to win his first tournament on the dp tour for eight years. when there is going on, you know your luck is in. —— when those are going in, you know your luck is in. there were more than a few expletives from lewis hamilton who saw his hopes of a first win of the f1 season evaporate. he was leading with 15 laps to go
6:50 am
at the dutch grand prix, victory in his sights but was left a sitting duck as his rivals pitted for fresher tyres under a safety car. and he told his team just what he thought about it. i can't believe you guys. bleep. was that a swearword? _ i can't believe you guys. bleep. was that a swearword? it _ i can't believe you guys. bleep. was that a swearword? it was _ i can't believe you guys. bleep. was that a swearword? it was a - i can't believe you guys. bleep. was that a swearword? it was a few! i a race won by max verstappen at his home grand prix, who's closing in on another title. hamilton though had calmed down later. i really, really thought we were going to be there fighting for this win. and then the safety car came out, completely screwed us. and then i'm sitting there and i'm in a lead, but i know no matter how good or bad a restart i get, i won't be able to hold these guys up, keep them behind. and then to see it slip through my fingers, it was... there was such an outburst of emotions. of course there was an outburst. outburst being the word. he

6:52 am
and in ed slater�*s case, he was forced to retire after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. at the weekend, his friends and gloucester team—mate billy twelvetrees dedicated his testimonial match to ed. it was another chance to run out at kingsholm with his family by his side, in front of a home crowd. ed kicked off to start the game before running off the pitch. to be honest with you, i've been nervous about what my contribution is going to be today. in an ideal world i would have played ten minutes, but because of mnd symptoms, bits and pieces, it's not a sensible idea. so, obviously, part of having the mnd is those messages aren't getting through to your limbs and your muscles the way you want them to. so, it's something i'm going to have to deal with and adapt to but it has meant that i've probably not been able to do any minutes playing today.
6:53 am
many of those on the pitch also joined ed for the gruelling 350 mile three day bike ride last month in the august heat. so, forformer players, is this any easier? i would say honestly this is harder. because you think it's still inside you to play the game and take the contact, but it's tough, it's tough, obviously its class being back at kingsholm with all the lads again. it's something i thought i'd never do personally. i said to my wife, i promised her i'd never play rugby again. then obviously as the years go by, billy asked me, obviously the reasons around ed as well, it's one of them where you kind of have to do and want to. i think it was possibly one of the hardest things i've ever done but still worth it, the bike ride. some of us have still got no feeling in our feet, i've still got two toes. it's obviously tragic and we've just got to be around him, support him, support his family,
6:54 am
things like this raising awareness as well for this disease it is really important and obviously everyone being here today shows that as well, the support. there are world cup winners, former british lions and internationals spread across both sides. testimony to the high regard players have for ed and for billy. this is purely entertainment for everyone. a few boys having a punch—up as you can see, i might go and join in. and everyone's motivation for playing is clear. hugely, i think to get behind ed. good mates getting behind to try and raise as much awareness and do something for ed whilst he still can. we just want to keep the energy going. one of ed's closest friends came straight off the back right and back straight off the bike ride and back into training for gloucester. so opted to watch from the stands. ed tried to talk me into getting a little bit of a run out but i pulled a sickie from it. so i'm watching and enjoying that bit. i think it was a great thing bill did that he put this game forward for ed, and it shows what a decent bloke ed
6:55 am
is, and then everyone coming out to support him has been terrific, pretty heart—warming. the water carriers were ed and billy's children. this was a special occasion for ed's family who were helped by the support they're currently receiving. i thinkjust as we are navigating the beginnings of a crazyjourney, it's been amazing to see at points people reaching out and just showing support being here. i think it'sjust so important for ed and also, yeah, for me to make sure, you know, it keeps us going, doesn't it? it keeps us feeling like we can help to raise the profile of it and make sure we're doing all we can to raise awareness. the spotlight is a little bit on the people that are suffering from the disease, but the reality is, it's just as difficult for the wives, partners, parents, the children. and that's something that we are learning about everyday with our own family and speaking to other people that are in the same position. at the end of the day, jo is the one who's going to be left
6:56 am
to pick up the pieces, and that an incredibly and that's an incredibly difficultjob. so she's done an amazing job supporting me but it is, yeah, it is difficult for her as it is for me living with it. it's definitely day by day, although there are highs and lows, but then there are funny moments that we always laugh at. like yesterday he was like, "jo, you need to come out in the garden, we need to chuck the ball around because i need to practice. because i'm expecting to do some running around." so i was there giving it my best shot. he is still able to catch my really terrible passing. there will be very tough days ahead for this family but this, this was a good day. well done, ed, ili, and everybody for that much over the weekend. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. currently, all london schools are in areas where air quality breaches
6:57 am
world health organization limits. but research by the university of surrey shows that some simple measures can help improve that situation. measures like having air purifiers in classrooms can reduce indoor pollution levels by half, and scientists say stopping people driving past schools at the start and end of the school day can improve air quality by over a third. a man riding an e—scooter in south london has died after a crash with a car. the metropolitan police said it happened on ferndale road in brixton on saturday evening. the 53—year—old rider was taken to hospital, where he passed away. there were more than 20 arrests in buckinghamshire yesterday morning at the country's biggest milk processing plant. members of the group animal rebellion blockaded arla's distribution centre in aylesbury — demanding the government does more to encourage plant—based farming. arla recently obtained an injunction to stop people protesting at its sites.
6:58 am
if you're heading on the underground or overground today, look out for some new green spaces which have popped up. it's because staff have been allowed to use quiet corners and areas of stations to brighten up and create small gardens. the new displays are also intended to help make travelling more welcoming and pleasant for both customers and staff. people like it and it just uplifts me to see the smile on people's faces. people have a lot of discussion with me about what flowers i put in, and, you know, that they love the garden and it's nice, when you've had a hard day at work, to come through and just see brightness. it's just uplifting and just nice and tranquil. a look at the tube board now. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. you may well have been woken up through the early hours of this morning by a band of heavy, thundery showers moving north eastwards across the capital. that band of showers has

now of course cleared but there is a deep area of low pressure sitting out towards the west of us that's going to be throwing some more showers as we head through the next few days also, a brisk and southerly wind at times. also some sunny spells, temperatures are lower than they have been but still above the average for the time of year. get set for a rather unsettled week of weather ahead. but it is a dry start to this morning. there is some mist and also some cloud around, particularly towards eastern areas but it will slowly brighten up as we had throughout the morning. sunny spells but watch out for some more showers that will get going through the late morning and into the afternoon. possibly another rumble of thunder or two at times, temperatures peaking in the low 20s in celsius and there's quite a fresh southerly wind blowing as well. as we head through this evening and overnight, there could be another band of thundery showers again moving north—eastwards, but also some clear spells around. we start the day tomorrow on a mild note. more sunny spells but also some more showers in the forecast tomorrow and wednesday. that's it. much more from downing street coming
7:00 am
up on bbc breakfast — where someone new will be moving in after today. hello, this is breakfast with me, jon kay, in downing street and sally nugent in the studio on the day the new prime minister is announced. eight weeks, eight candidates, six rounds of voting — in just a few hours we will find whether rishi sunak or liz truss will succeed borisjohnson. but with a rise in the energy price cap just weeks away, there's not much time for the new occupant of number 10 to set out how they will support families this winter. there are 36,000 children below the poverty line here in leeds. to give you an idea, leeds united's elland road football stadium —
7:01 am
they'd fill it. in other news this morning... a manhunt is underway in canada after at least ten people were killed and 15 injured in a series of stabbings. good morning. in sport, manchester united making their mark as rashford scores twice to secure a fourth straight premier league win to end arsenal's winning start. i'm at wembley! and we catch up with 12—year—old nandi bushell, fresh from playing on stage with foo fighters at their tribute concert to drummer taylor hawkins. we heard the crashing of thunder and lightning last night across many parts of the uk. that has now started to ease but more thunderstorms to come this week but will it bring rain to the areas that need it? iwill will it bring rain to the areas that need it? i will heavier full forecast here on breakfast. good morning, it's monday 5th september.
7:02 am
welcome to downing street. sometimes we stand here and don't quite know what is going to happen over the next few days but today we have a definite appointment. after two months of campaigning, eight candidates and thousands of votes — in just a few hours time either and thousands of votes — in just a few hours' time either liz truss or rishi sunak will be named the new leader of the conservative party — and britain's next prime minister. who will be walking through that front door? who will be turning that into their new home? who will be using this as the base to make huge decisions that are going to affect every single one of us at such a challenging time for the uk? which ever one of them it is, they will officially take up that post tomorrow, bringing borisjohnson's three—year premiership to an end. but as for what you need to know about the choreography of the next few hours and days... our political correspondent iain watson has been looking back at the campaign. i'm always going to respond to support people through it. i would reverse the increase in national insurance. the nhs will be safe in my hands.
7:03 am
i want everybody across our great country to have opportunity. after six weeks of slugging it out, it's no longer time for campaigning, but for governing. and today we discover whether it's liz truss or rishi sunak who gets the keys to downing street. pollsters have declared liz truss the favourite — and, if she wins today, she'd said she will announce substantial support to help with the cost of living within a week. i understand that people are struggling with eye—watering energy bills, and there are predictions of even worse down the track. if i'm elected as prime minister, i will act immediately on bills and on energy supply. if rishi sunak pulls off an upset, he said he'd target more help to the most vulnerable. but thoughts are also turning to what he'll do if he doesn't get the top job. i'm going to stay as a member of parliament and i was really delighted... actually, i finished this campaign on friday at home in yorkshire with my own members, which was really lovely, and it's been a great privilege
7:04 am
to represent them as their member of parliament for richmond in north yorkshire. i'd love to keep doing that as long as they'll have me. so, with downing street preparing to welcome the new prime minister, how did we get here? well, we've had a summer of heated debates and competing policy pledges, but the whole process only got under way after partygate had undermined boris johnson's authority. then his handling of sexual—assault allegations against a government whip was the final straw for many of his own ministers. it is clearly now the will of— the parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore i a new prime minister. there's no shortage of conservative mps who wanted to replace him, but in a series of votes their fellow tories whittled the candidates down to the final two. rishi sunak and liz truss will be the candidates going forward. the contest moved from westminster to the wider membership, who quizzed the candidates at events around the country.
7:05 am
the big division was over whether to cut taxes now or later. while the venues changed, the key messages didn't — with the same lines repeated again... i will lower taxes. what i will not do is pursue policies that risk making inflation far worse. ..and again. we need to keep our taxes low. what i will not do is pursue policies that risk making inflation far worse. the biggest challenge for the new prime minister is to tackle the uk's cost—of—living crisis, but uniting the party after a bruising two—month battle may be no less difficult. iain watson, bbc news. that is the two months of how we got here. now we are here in downing street and we are about to find out. the world's media are waiting for the announcement. lets me talk you through the times you need to be aware of because there are certain crucial point is notjust today but over the next couple of days that
7:06 am
this will work out. around 12:30 today, either liz truss or rishi sunak will be crowned the winner of the conservative leadership contest and the country's next prime minister. but they don't actually become prime minister immediately. that happens tomorrow. the queen will then formally appoint them to their post tomorrow, at balmoral. normally that happens at buckingham palace but because the queen is in scotland at the moment and because she is not going to return back to london, they will go to balmoral, the winning candidate. after that, the new prime minister will address the nation for the first time from downing street. what will be their priority their main messages that begin the job? from tomorrow afternoon into the evening, the new leader will likely begin to appoint their top government team. we understand from rumours that they
7:07 am
have already talked about their teams, but will things change, will face slot other people into the posts? it's expected the first cabinet meeting will take place on wednesday, before the new leader of the conservative party appears at prime minister's questions. they will face keir starmer for the opposition. whoever has got the job, and they find out at lunchtime, they have a full on couple of days and a full and few months ahead because what challenges they face. i'm joined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. good morning. we are talking about liz truss or rishi sunak but the words around in westminster, the papers are just talking about liz truss. papers are 'ust talking about liz truss. ., ., ., , , truss. there are not many people around here _ truss. there are not many people around here who _ truss. there are not many people around here who think— truss. there are not many people around here who think this i truss. there are not many people around here who think this is i truss. there are not many people around here who think this is still| around here who think this is still all to play for. everybody in westminster thinks that liz truss will be named prime minister in waiting at 12:30pm. just down the
7:08 am
road from where we are, the conference centre opposite parliament. barring the most colossal of parliamentary upsets we will see liz truss walk into that building tomorrow as prime minister. things are going to be very busy for her very quickly. it is a daunting in trade but one thing will define her early days, weeks and months and that will meet the cost—of—living crisis. forthe that will meet the cost—of—living crisis. for the last few weeks we have talked every morning on breakfast about her pitch to conservative members, the ones who have made this decision. i think over the next few days you will see the new occupants of number 10 starts to pivot towards talking to everybody at home, to voters across the country, to the millions of people worried about how they are going to pay their bills. i think by the end of the week we will see a pretty big package from liz truss, tens of billions of pounds, looking at how to help people with the cost
7:09 am
of living. she at how to help people with the cost of livina. ,, ., ., , at how to help people with the cost of livina. ,, ., .,, ., , of living. she memorable said early on in the campaign _ of living. she memorable said early on in the campaign no _ of living. she memorable said early on in the campaign no more - on in the campaign no more hand—outs, but if we look at the front pages of a couple of the newspapers with close links to the conservative party, the daily telegraph, liz truss could freeze bills to avoid energy armageddon. the times also says her team i'm holding talks on freezing energy bills. it looks like she is now planning a very substantial package of help, which might be difficult for her to explain to some of those conservative party members who voted for her on the basis of no hand—outs. for her on the basis of no hand-outs.— for her on the basis of no hand-outs. ., , . ., , hand-outs. some tories are really sce tical hand-outs. some tories are really sceptical about _ hand-outs. some tories are really sceptical about the _ hand-outs. some tories are really sceptical about the idea _ hand-outs. some tories are really sceptical about the idea of - hand-outs. some tories are really| sceptical about the idea of freezing bills and the government putting up cash to help that happen, but it is popular, it has a lot of political support, labourand popular, it has a lot of political support, labour and the liberal democrats are both behind it. and there have been talks between liz truss' team and the big energy companies about this idea. the energy companies have pitched a plan that would see the government lend them a bunch of money and pay back
7:10 am
those bills over a longer period of time to avoid that big spike in bills at the moment. team truss are remaining very tight—lipped on it this morning. nobody is saying for sure that that will happen, but it is certainly something that has been discussed, something the industry thinks is a possibility. but be under no doubt about how important this announcement will be for the millions of people who are struggling to figure out how they will pay the bills over the winter but also for tory mps. will pay the bills over the winter but also for tory mp5. i spoke to one senior tory last night, someone who could be around the cabinet table by the end of the week, at the back of liz truss. they said if we get energy right we can beat keir starmer at the next general election. they said, if we don't, we are out. everyone knows how high the stakes are. this will be a really big moment for liz truss, assuming she wins the leadership race. she is going to have to hit the ground running immediately. you going to have to hit the ground running immediately.— running immediately. you are
7:11 am
tantalisingly _ running immediately. you are tantalisingly close _ running immediately. you are tantalisingly close with i running immediately. you are tantalisingly close with that l tantalisingly close with that notebook, i am trying to appear in! for now, thank you very much. nick willjoin us throughout the programme under over the next couple of days. this is not like a normal selection prime minister, it isn't like we had a general election where everyone of us has had vote. this new pm has been chosen by only the members of the conservative party, less than 1% of the uk population. what do regular voters around the country, none conservative party members, think of this? what is their message to the new occupant of number 10? john maguire has been to yorkshire to get a sense of how it's impacting people's lives — from families in leeds, where liz truss grew up, to the heart of rishi sunak�*s constituencey of richmond. two parts of one county have been instrumental in the bid to become our next prime minister. leeds — where liz truss grew up — and richmond, where rishi sunak is the mp, both in yorkshire.
7:12 am
well, good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to our family cookery club! i hope you're all ready to go. today, we're going to be making a one—pot harvest pork casserole. it's a really good filling recipe, this, and the thing is that we've got meat, but we've also got loads of vegetables that fill you up and it's obviously much cheaper than the meat. this cookery course, in the bramley area of leeds, is teaching families wholesome — and, crucially, affordable — recipes. well done. it's run by flourishing families — a local charity set up in response to tough times. there are 36,000 children below the poverty line here in leeds. to give you an idea, leeds united's elland road football stadium — they'd fill it. there was a guy who came here with his three children to one of our cookery clubs. he came here because he was living off pasta and a tin of tomatoes pretty well every night. when they came, we found out that his children would go to school in their pyjamas
7:13 am
because they couldn't afford to buy clothes. so we bought them some warm jumpers for christmas last year. that was last year. now that same guy is saying to us, he doesn't know how he's going to survive this winter. he's worried his kids are going to starve. so that's why we started it. the need isjust so vast. and now, life is even harder — with fuel bills especially causing great concern and changing people's lives. i live on toast and cereals, basically — most days, that's what i have. now and again, potato...corned beef. cheap stuff, really. each session costs just £1, including the ingredients. scott is a regular, and now plans to volunteer on the courses. he says he's making sacrifices for the sake of his daughters. i've had to cut down meals myself, you know? i've missed a few meals to obviously support these two. you know, i've gone from... i've gone down to, like, the basic stuff, you know, to cheaper food, to obviously try
7:14 am
and help, you know, the girls. i've never thought in my life i'd ever have to do that — ever. there's now a new emphasis on the course — recipes that can be cooked without an oven. we're going to be using the microwave much more. and, in fact, we're going to have a slow—cooker appeal so that every family is given a slow cooker and taught how to use it so that they get a bag of ingredients to use with a slow cooker, alongside the meal that they cook at a cookery club. so what should the prime minister do, day one in the job, to help families like this? i think they need to realise how seriously desperate this situation is. i don't think it's been taken seriously enough. i think people are really, really struggling, and we need targeted interventions that help those who are the poorest and the most economically vulnerable. and my concern is that it's going to be the richest people who are helped the most out of some of the interventions that are suggested. and it's not going to the people who really need it. head north for 75 miles,
7:15 am
and this is richmond — rishi suna k�*s constituency. it's really busy during the week, as well — notjust on sundays — but we actually have youth, young adult, family programmes happening most days of the week. this former cinema is now home to the influence church, where members and volunteers offer help through food, school uniforms, and even baby bundles for new mums. what we do, we get brand—new moses baskets with a mattress in so that the baby's going to be nice and safe. and then we put in donations — usually a pile of a different variety of baby clothes. we then try to top it up with some things like nappies, baby wipes, obviously some baby lotion. how are you doing? you ok? i'm ok, thank you, yeah. how are things at work? things at work are ok. yeah? yeah. better than last week? karen has recently moved to the area, after working in moscow. well, currently i'm stocking up on blankets, and i bought a minus—seven—degree sleeping bag and... yeah, and i boughta crank—up...
7:16 am
a crank—up, sort of, like, lantern, as well. if the electricity goes down, you know, i've still got light and things, you know? despite having experienced russian winters, she's worried about getting through the coming british one. lots of people need support from a place like this, and it's going to get worse and worse — especially as the energy bills are going to go up, and the gas bills, as well. people say the support they receive here is vital. a big difference to us — a big difference. you know... you know what food is now in shops, and that. obviously it's free — you know, you get it all for free. and it's fantastic, really, that we're getting this, you know? really is. it may be a big if, but if the local mp becomes pm, what should he do? these are people who are often overlooked, often missed — you know, misunderstood sometimes, as well. but these are people who need the support of their prime minister to really champion them for whatever
7:17 am
that may be — you know, some people, it's championing them in employment. some people, it's championing them with their mental—health issues. some people, it canjust be championing them with their finances and also their need for there to be a resolution around certain issues — certainly around energy and money and things like that. so, yeah, really, really want our prime minister to be someone who champions people and cares for those at the fringes and at the edges of society. the new prime minister will have to work hard and to work fast — the need among so many people right across the uk is severe, and it's urgent. john maguire, bbc news, yorkshire. the message is loud and clearfrom yorkshire to whichever one of these candidates walks through this door tomorrow. i thought the removal van had just turned up but it is not, i think it is a catering lorry. i hate
7:18 am
to use the word "party" here after the last few months but it looks like arrivals of food and drink. obviously there is going to be a lot of people in and out of the doors for various catering purposes over the next couple of days because whoever wins is going to be hosting their new cabinet, they are going to be having meetings around the clock, they need to look through the books, look at the figures before they decide on those huge decisions about what is going to happen to energy bills. loads more coverage throughout the programme this morning from downing street, where the stage is set, really, the world as macromedia are here. larry the cat is prowling around, the front door has been polished, now we need to know which of these candidates is going to slip into this hugejob. i going to slip into this huge job. i thought you were there all alone and then we saw the shot of downing street and it turns out there is a crowd! you are definitely not alone and it will be a busy day for you.
7:19 am
that is jahn in downing street outside number 10 —— that isjon. police in canada are hunting for two men after at least ten people were killed and 15 others injured in a series of mass stabbings. the attacks took place across 13 locations in saskatchewan province. jessie anton, a localjournalist from the canadian broadcasting corporation gave us this update a little earlier. ican i can tell you it is a really sad situation and, as you mentioned, ten people are dead. another 15 are hospitalised and rcmp, the national police here in canada, say more people could be injured, they could have just driven themselves to hospital. those are just the people we know of who are killed and who were injured today. i can tell you that the killing spree was a stabbing spree, started injames smith cree nation, an indigenous communityjust in the north—east of where i am located right now, and i
7:20 am
am in regina, the capital of saskatchewan so it is about four hours north or so. the first notification to police about the stabbing came injust before six o'clock, and shortly after when police arrived at the scene they noticed that the calls kept coming in and it turns out there were 13 different crime scenes. 13 different places where people were either killed or injured and that includes a nearby community of, saskatchewan, a nearby community of, saskatchewan, a little village about only 200 people live there, so both of those places were targeted. we know police have given very few details but the details we do know is that these two people, they both share a last name, though we don't know if they are related, two men in their early 30s. the people that they hurt where both targeted and it was also a random attack, so there are so many unanswered questions. police investigating the murder
7:21 am
of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel have arrested three men. a man has been held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder of olivia's mother. two other men have been detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. barristers in england and wales are going on continuous strike from today following a row with the government over pay. the criminal bar association is asking for a 25% rise in legal—aid fees after earlier rejecting the government's15% pay offer, as sanchia berg reports. it's becoming a familiar sight in this summer of strikes — criminal barristers in front of the courts, rather than arguing cases inside. now they've stepped up their action to an indefinite strike from today. that will halt activity across england and wales, adding to the backlog of almost 60,000 cases. the government has offered a 15% rise in legal—aid fees for new cases, but the barristers say they need to rise by 25% as soon as possible.
7:22 am
they say 300 young barristers left criminal practice last year because they couldn't afford to stay. criminal barristers do not want to take action. they want to be in court doing what they do, and doing what they've done for decades without having to have had to take this action. however, it's hit crisis point, and only this action was considered by barristers to get government to take the crisis within the criminaljustice system seriously. dominic raab — on the left — as justice secretary, refused to talk to the barristers. they're hoping that a new secretary of state will take a different approach. sanchia berg, bbc news. meghan, the duchess of sussex will deliver the keynote speech at a summit of young leaders in manchester today. it will be the first time since moving to california more than two years ago that the duchess will have spoken at a public event in the uk.
7:23 am
here is matt with notjust the weather, but a gorgeous image to start the day. indeed, good morning. quite a dramatic night in the skies across the uk last night. clear skies in northern scotland, a stunning aurora display. furthersouth, northern scotland, a stunning aurora display. further south, a stunning display. further south, a stunning display of lightning across many areas. around 36,000 lightning strike fear in the uk in the space of 12 hours. that certainly meant a few of you will be starting the day a little bit bleary eyed, myself included. the rain has pushed northwards, the lighting has faded but the rain is moving northwards quite smartly, mainly confined to parts of scotland, slowly clearing the central belt, pushing its way and claiming the north of mainland scotland by the end of the morning. still some rain at times in orkney and shetland this afternoon. lots of dry and sunny weather for many, early morning mist and fog clears, showers develop across the south, in
7:24 am
and temperatures widely in the low to mid 20s. we will see the show was returned this afternoon across the southern half of england and wales and into the evening they become heavy and thundery, particularly across the western half of england, wales and south south—west and drifting their way into northern ireland, the isle of man and eventually into scotland later in the night. some parts of eastern england will stay completely dry, the final of the then in scotland will be dry once you get rid of the morning's arena tonight, like last night, will be pretty one, temperatures not dropping lower than the mid teens and women are sunshine over the next few days before attaining cooler later but if you are after some rain it will be highly variable through the week because it is a case of sunshine and showers. showers again heavy and thundery. we will be ready for it, thank you. from today, millions of people in england and scotland will be invited for their autumn covid booster vaccine with care—home residents first in line for the jab. nhs england and nhs scotland have released a list of those who are eligible for the jab,
7:25 am
including adults aged 50 and over. as well as people aged between five and 49 who have health conditions. pregnant women are also being prioritised for the booster. care—home staff are on the list too — as are health care professionals who work on the front line along with social care workers. carers between the ages of 16 and 49 are eligible for the booster along with people who live in the same households as those with weakened immune systems. wales has already started offering boosters — while the roll—out will begin in northern ireland in two weeks' time. we're joined now by one of our regular gps, dr rosemary leonard, who can explain more about the booster programme. who can explain more i who can explain more have reeled off the list of pe who i have reeled off the list of people who are going to be eligible for this. let's start by telling us where we are at the moment. covid has not gone _ where we are at the moment. covid has not gone away, _ where we are at the moment. covid has not gone away, there _ where we are at the moment. covid has not gone away, there is - where we are at the moment. (it c has not gone away, there is less of it and we are not testing regularly, but there were 224,000 positive tests last week alone and that is
7:26 am
probably only a fraction of the that there are. there were over 4000 people admitted to hospital with positive covid test and there were 400 deaths, over 400 debts. so it hasn't gone away and the concern is that viruses always commit respiratory viruses like this are always much more common in the autumn and winter. we are expecting autumn and winter. we are expecting a resurgence coming in the next few months. �* , ., . , a resurgence coming in the next few months. �* , ., ., , ., a resurgence coming in the next few months. �* i. ., , ., months. are you able to say whether these cases — months. are you able to say whether these cases are _ months. are you able to say whether these cases are predominantly i these cases are predominantly omicron? , ., , these cases are predominantly omicron? , . , , , �* omicron? they have been, yes. but the aood omicron? they have been, yes. but the good news _ omicron? they have been, yes. but the good news is _ omicron? they have been, yes. but the good news is that _ omicron? they have been, yes. but the good news is that the _ omicron? they have been, yes. but the good news is that the vaccines l the good news is that the vaccines we have come at the moderna vaccine which was licensed a couple of months ago, and now we have a thighs eight vaccine which has just been licensed now and they are going to be available, they cover omicron as well as the original variant —— the pfizer vaccine. although the omicron variant is mutating slightly, if you have immunity against one you have

7:31 am
but research by the university of surrey shows that some simple measures can help improve that situation. measures like having air purifiers in classrooms can reduce indoor pollution levels by half, and scientists say stopping people driving past schools at the start and end of the school day can improve air quality by over a third. a man riding an e—scooter in south london has died after a crash with a car. the metropolitan police said it happened on ferndale road in brixton on saturday evening. the 53—year—old rider was taken to hospital where he passed away. there were more than 20 arrests in buckinghamshire yesterday morning at the country's biggest milk processing plant. members of the group animal rebellion blockaded arla's distribution centre in aylesbury demanding the government does more to encourage plant—based farming. arla recently obtained an injunction to stop people protesting at its sites.
7:32 am
if you're heading on the underground or overground today look out for some new green spaces which have popped up. it's because staff have been allowed to use quiet corners and areas of stations to brighten up and create small gardens. the new displays are also intended to help make travelling more welcoming and pleasant for both customers and staff. people like it and it just uplifts me to see the smile on people's faces. people have a lot of discussion with me about what flowers i put in, and, you know, that they love the garden and it's nice, when you've had a hard day at work, to come through and just see brightness. it's just uplifting and just nice and tranquil. a look at the tube board now. minor delays on thejubilee line due to train cancellations. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. you may well have been woken up through the early hours of this morning by a band of heavy, thundery showers moving north eastwards across the capital. that band of showers has now of course cleared
7:33 am
but there is a deep area of low pressure sitting out towards the west of us that's going to be throwing some more showers as we head through the next few days also, a brisk and southerly wind at times. also some sunny spells, temperatures are lower than they have been but still above the average for the time of year. get set for a rather unsettled week of weather ahead. but it is a dry start to this morning. there is some mist and also some cloud around, particularly towards eastern areas but it will slowly brighten up as we had throughout the morning. sunny spells but watch out for some more showers that will get going through the late morning and into the afternoon. possibly another rumble of thunder or two at times, temperatures peaking in the low 20s in celsius and there's quite a fresh southerly wind blowing as well. as we head through this evening and overnight, there could be another band of thundery showers again moving north—eastwards, but also some clear spells around. we start the day tomorrow on a mild note. more sunny spells but also some more showers in the forecast tomorrow and wednesday. that's it. more travel updates, news and weather on the bbc radio
7:34 am
london's breakfast show with my colleague, riz lateef. hello, you're watching breakfast. what a week, what are they we have ahead of us. in just a matter of hours we'll find out who will take up residence behind the famous black door of number ten. who is going to make massive decisions that are going to affect all our our lives, particularly on the cost of living, in the next few days? those decisions are going to affect our winter ahead. the sun has just risen, but i am not sure whoever wins the day is going to be basking in the moment or having any kind of honeymoon period because they are going to have to get straight to work. rishi sunak or liz
7:35 am
truss, whichever one of them wins and takes over from borisjohnson today, they are going to find out at lunchtime and then the really hard work begins. we are outside the door of number 10. i'm joined now by sebastian payne, whitehall editor for the financial times, and andrew woodcock political editor of the independent. a big day, and if you look at the papers, you would think we know the winner because everyone is just saying it is liz truss, definite. i think we knew the winner about a month ago but not one has happened in this contest for most of august and a lot of people in the conservative party are wondering why we didn't wrap this up a few weeks ago, we could have got on with dealing with the cost of living crisis with a new pm. every single bit of data we have, the polling, the conservative party website, and the conservative party website, and the bookmakers, all say it's going to be liz truss. people in both camps this morning are expecting the results to be around 60% which would be a significant mandate but not as big as borisjohnson who got 66% in
7:36 am
the 2019 contest. if it was lower than that then there would start to be questions over her authority over the party. if it was rishi sunak, it would be the british —— biggest political upset since the brexit referendum or more so. team trust referendum or more so. team scenic —— team liz truss and team rishi sunak, they are both expecting liz truss tomorrow.— sunak, they are both expecting liz truss tomorrow. they get formalised tomorrow, truss tomorrow. they get formalised tomorrow. then _ truss tomorrow. they get formalised tomorrow, then they _ truss tomorrow. they get formalised tomorrow, then they come _ truss tomorrow. they get formalised tomorrow, then they come back- truss tomorrow. they get formalised | tomorrow, then they come back down tomorrow, then they come back down to downing street and then hard work. it is hard to imagine a set of challenges as great as those facing our next prime minister. absolutely, the new prime _ our next prime minister. absolutely, the new prime minister— our next prime minister. absolutely, the new prime minister normally i our next prime minister. absolutely, | the new prime minister normally gets a honeymoon period, this one will be walking _ a honeymoon period, this one will be walking straight into a hurricane when _ walking straight into a hurricane when she — walking straight into a hurricane when she or he goes into the door over there — when she or he goes into the door over there. there are so many issues facing _ over there. there are so many issues facing the _ over there. there are so many issues facing the new prime minister in terms _ facing the new prime minister in terms of— facing the new prime minister in terms of energy bills, people facing destitution this winter, businesses which _ destitution this winter, businesses which face — destitution this winter, businesses which face closure if bills go up as predicted —

7:38 am
billions. if she wins and that is right, that is a huge shift. who right, that is a huge shift. who could have _ right, that is a huge shift. who could have predicted _ right, that is a huge shift. wm could have predicted that was going to happen? when you have these leadership contests, we have these electorate, the 150,000 tory party members who love tax cuts and it is at odds with reality. liz truss yesterday said she will act within a week. so if we get her tomorrow, her new government tomorrow night, and it will be her first pmqs on wednesday, herfirst big it will be her first pmqs on wednesday, her first big test and then i imagine we'll get the outlines of what she's going to do. it is probably obvious to everyone how bad the situation is and something needs to happen immediately because people are very worried now, energy bills are starting to kick in and they will get far worse when the price cap rise goes up in october. so i think liz truss does get that now. the comment about hand—outs which she said to the ft at the beginning of
7:39 am
august, that was the system of payments rishi sunak and set up when you get £400 plus the £150 council tax rebate, she would call that a hand—out. the things we are seeing in the papers this morning of the idea of a £100 million loan scheme to freeze bills where they are, it is not very conservative, and not liz truss. if she does that it speaks to the scale of the crisis that she is having to consider it. if she does do that it is probably the right thing for the country but i look forward to see what tory mps think of it. ii i look forward to see what tory mps think of it. , ., , ., ., think of it. if she does do that, how does _ think of it. if she does do that, how does she _ think of it. if she does do that, how does she keep _ think of it. if she does do that, how does she keep the - think of it. if she does do that, how does she keep the party . how does she keep the party together?— how does she keep the party touether? ,, , ., , ., together? she will be doing this on the weakest _ together? she will be doing this on the weakest mandate _ together? she will be doing this on the weakest mandate of— together? she will be doing this on the weakest mandate of any i together? she will be doing this on the weakest mandate of any prime| the weakest mandate of any prime minister— the weakest mandate of any prime minister in — the weakest mandate of any prime minister in memory. she had not won a general— minister in memory. she had not won a general election, borisjohnson or theresa _ a general election, borisjohnson or theresa may did not win general elections — theresa may did not win general elections but they have a solid support— elections but they have a solid support of their parliamentary party — support of their parliamentary party. in — support of their parliamentary party. in the first round of voting, among _ party. in the first round of voting, among mps, she only got about 50 mps, _ among mps, she only got about 50 mps. well— among mps, she only got about 50 mps, well behind people like rishi sunak—

7:42 am
can, go to the backbenches and be quiet for a few weeks and give her time to settle in. but when we have to have this full budget after the emergency cost of living package, you could start to see rishi sunak speaking out. his economic proposals were diametrically opposed to liz truss, he did not want tax rises, or adds to the borrowing which is what she will do. i think he will be critic for the new prime minister if it is her. lots of people in the tory party think he might stand down in the next election and go back to california and work on tech. so far his team say he is not going anywhere. his team say he is not going anywhere-— his team say he is not going an here. ., . , anywhere. than the current resident in number10. _ anywhere. than the current resident in number10, what— anywhere. than the current resident in number10, what is— anywhere. than the current resident in number10, what is he _ anywhere. than the current resident in number10, what is he going - anywhere. than the current resident in number10, what is he going to i in number 10, what is he going to do, borisjohnson? we in number10, what is he going to do, borisjohnson?— in number10, what is he going to do, borisjohnson? do, boris johnson? we have not heard the last of him- _ do, boris johnson? we have not heard the last of him. i — do, boris johnson? we have not heard the last of him. ithink— do, boris johnson? we have not heard the last of him. i think you _ do, boris johnson? we have not heard the last of him. i think you are - the last of him. i think you are riaht! the last of him. i think you are right! thank — the last of him. i think you are right! thank you _ the last of him. i think you are right! thank you for _ the last of him. i think you are right! thank you forjoining - the last of him. i think you are| right! thank you forjoining us. the last of him. i think you are i right! thank you forjoining us. a huge day and week here, that is it from downing street for the moment,

7:45 am
arsenal though equalised through bukayo saka in what was a really entertaining game. that was before marcus rashford, scored twice after his recent difficulties with form and fitness, to seal a fourth succesive premier league win and end arsenal's 100% start to the season. it's really disappointing because looking back, the game, for these boys to play the way they have played here, big credit to them. but we have to come out of the game with a much better result. we keep performing and playing like that, we will win football matches, that's for sure. but we need, especially in these matches, more discipline to get the three points. nothing disappointing about this. what a free kick from alexis macallister, as brighton beat leicester 5—2. brighton are fourth, leicester are still without a win and remain bottom. our performances as a group have always been quite strong. even though the results haven't always matched those performances, they've been strong. so it's nice the last few weeks or months that we're getting
7:46 am
the results and the performances. we have to carry on because the premier league is what it is. it's so, so, so difficult. but it's a humble group, it's an ambitious group and we want to try and compete in every game. are we seeing a new nick kyrgios? you think about the bad boy image, but he continues to produce some incredible results. wimbledon finalist this year, it all came together as he beat the defending champion and world number one daniil medvedev in four sets to reach the quarter finals of the us open. it had it all, brilliant skill, and that booming serve to seal it. he credits his recent form to a more professional approach and it's clearly working. coco gauff could be the woman to beat. the american teenager beat china's zhang shuai in straight sets. she reached the final of the french open this year and will play france's caroline garcia in the quarterfinals. no celebration, more frustration for lewis hamilton, who saw his hopes of a first fi win this season
7:47 am
evaporate at the dutch grand prix. he was leading with 15 laps to go but was overtaken by max verstappen and couldn't control his anger as the red bull driver went on to claim his tenth win of the season. and it got worse for hamilton as he blamed his mercedes team for tactics that saw him end up finishing fourth. fighting for this win. and then the safety car came out, completely screwed us. and then i'm sitting there and i'm in a lead, but i know no matter how good or bad a restart i get, i won't be able to hold these guys up, keep them behind. and then to see it slip through my fingers, it was... there was such an outburst of emotions. it's always special to win your home grand prix. it was already last year. this year i have to say i had to work for it even more, so, yeah. an incredible weekend and i'm really happy we got the dutch grand prix.
7:48 am

good morning, i light that! read full this week, —— there is rainfall this week. some areas will see a lot and some not as much, this was the skies in devon, in dartmoor we had 100 millimetres of rain in saturday and sunday. norwich in norfolk, and other parts of eastern england, not even a drop until last night. even today there is going to be not a huge amount of rain around once you have cleared this morning, some showers later on but plenty of dry and sunny weather after what was quite a disturbing night. a line of thunderstorms pushed their way north through the night, they have no ease, heaviest of the rate remains in parts of central and northern scotland but it is north crates —— moving north quite quickly. showers here and there, mainly across
7:50 am
southern counties and into south wales into the afternoon. most will stay dry, blustery towards the south—west but it is a south to south—west but it is a south to south easterly wind across the uk today so after a warm start, temperatures at the moment are at the mid teens, mid 20s for some of you as we head into the afternoon leaving the west highlands of scotland, highs of 23 or 24. heaviest showers across the south to date particularly in the midlands, south west england and wales, could be some quite nasty thunderstorms pushing into north—west england and across the rest of north—east england and scotland as we head through the night. some in the east of england could stay dry, northern ireland could avoid some showers as well and another very warm night. the showery set up is because we have got an area of low pressure stubbornly sitting towards the rest of this, it will be there for tuesday, creeping closer, so after dry weather today, a greater chance
7:51 am
of showers tomorrow. we start across scotland and northern england and then more across the south working north. they are showers so there will be gaps between them, so many cards and might state largely dry. temperatures down a little bit on today but still warm where you have got sunshine, and then a greater chance of getting wet. the area of low pressure gradually pushing east, when the into wednesday but the wind is easing down later into the end of the week at the weekend. this is the remnants of a hurricane and we will see where it goes next week. this is the outlook for the rest of the week, wednesday wettest more widely across the country, there is a rain around but by friday and into the start of the weekend, the showers should become fewer in number. after a warm start it will feel cooler, temperatures closer to where we should be at this stage in september, mid to high teens in
7:52 am
northern areas, low 20s in southern parts. the quite a disturbed night, it is looking a little bit drier for many. fingers crossed, thank you. now imagine being introduced as the "coolest drummer in the world" by none other than dave grohl himself. that was the reality for twelve—year—old nandi bushell who took to the stage with some of the biggest names in rock music over the weekend — as the foo fighters paid tribute to their drummer taylor hawkins who died earlier this year. let's take a look at nandi in action. i'm at wembley. all right, now we have something very special for you. a person that we've known for a while now. one of the most badass drummers i've ever met in my entire life. nandi, come on out, nandi, say hello to everyone! cheering. music: learn to fly.

you! thank you for having me. you | you! thank you for having me. you are so welcome, _ you! thank you for having me. you are so welcome, thank you for talking to us. stay with us. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with me, jon kay, in downing street and sally nugent in the studio on the day the new prime minister is announced. eight weeks, eight candidates, six rounds of voting — in just a few hours we will find whether rishi sunak or liz truss will succeed borisjohnson. but with a rise in the energy price
8:01 am
cap just weeks away — there's not much time for the new occupant of number 10 to set out how they will support families this winter. there are 36,000 children below the poverty line here in leeds. to give you an idea, leeds united's elland road football stadium — they'd fill it. it is not just families feeling it is notjust families feeling the pinch. i am at a market in at least talking to businesses about the unprecedented pressure they are under and what they need to hear from our next prime minister. in other news this morning... a manhunt is under way in canada after at least ten people were killed and 15 injured in a series of stabbings. good morning, in sport... manchester united making their mark as rashford scores twice to secure a fourth straight premier league win to end arsenal's winning start. # prioritise pleasuring me. # no need to wait for bended knee. and self esteem joins us to tell us about being shortlisted for a mercury prize,
8:02 am
and her guide to self—love. plus, after a bit of a disturbed night last night with plenty of thunderstorms, a lot of dry weather to come but more showers and thunderstorms later. i will have your full forecast here on breakfast. good morning, it's monday 5th september. welcome to downing street. today is the day. we find out after almost two months of campaigning, at the eight candidates and thousands of votes, who our next prime minister will be. at lunchtime we will find out. it will either be liz truss or rishi sunak is make the leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister. the stage is set, the media are here, the streets have been swept, the protesters are here! a pa system has just struck up. it is all set for a huge day and week
8:03 am
in british politics. if you are sitting at home this morning, may be lying in bed, feeling a bit like larry the cat, despite those protesters... larry is not terribly disturbed. if you are a bit bored by what happens in westminster, i can promise you that today will not be boring, it really matters is this new prime minister is taking over at a point when every single one of us, our lives are deeply affected, and it will get even more serious in the weeks and months ahead with energy bills, inflation, interest rates. so much in the in tray of our next pm and our political correspondent has been looking back at the campaign about who will get there, who will cross that threshold in the next 24 hours. i'm always going to respond to support people through it. i would reverse the increase in national insurance. the nhs will be safe in my hands. i want everybody across our great country to have opportunity. after six weeks of slugging it out, it's no longer
8:04 am
time for campaigning, but for governing. and today we discover whether it's liz truss or rishi sunak who gets the keys to downing street. pollsters have declared liz truss the favourite — and, if she wins today, she's said she will announce substantial support to help with the cost of living within a week. i understand that people are struggling with eye—watering energy bills, and there are predictions of even worse down the track. if i'm elected as prime minister, i will act immediately on bills and on energy supply. if rishi sunak pulls off an upset, he said he'd target more help to the most vulnerable. but thoughts are also turning to what he'll do if he doesn't get the top job. i'm going to stay as a member of parliament and i was really delighted... actually, i finished this campaign on friday at home in yorkshire with my own members, which was really lovely, and it's been a great privilege to represent them as their member of parliament for richmond in north yorkshire.
8:05 am
i'd love to keep doing that as long as they'll have me. so, with downing street preparing to welcome the new prime minister, how did we get here? well, we've had a summer of heated debates and competing policy pledges, but the whole process only got under way after partygate had undermined boris johnson's authority. then his handling of sexual—assault allegations against a government whip was the final straw for many of his own ministers. it is clearly now the will of— the parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore - a new prime minister. there's no shortage of conservative mps who wanted to replace him, but in a series of votes their fellow tories whittled the candidates down to the final two. rishi sunak and liz truss will be the candidates going forward. the contest moved from westminster to the wider membership, who quizzed the candidates at events around the country. the big division was over whether to cut taxes now or later. while the venues changed,
8:06 am
the key messages didn't — with the same lines repeated again... i will lower taxes. what i will not do is pursue policies that risk making inflation far worse. ..and again. we need to keep our taxes low. what i will not do is pursue policies that risk making inflation far worse. the biggest challenge for the new prime minister is to tackle the uk's cost—of—living crisis, but uniting the party after a bruising two—month battle may be no less difficult. iain watson, bbc news. this morning here at downing street the sun is shining, a beautiful early autumn day. and yet whoever wins is not going to have time to baskin wins is not going to have time to bask in the glory of this newjob and the glory of office, the chris beech that comes with the title of prime minister because they have to get straight to work and make massive decisions —— the prestige that comes with the title. some of
8:07 am
the music from the protesters is playing behind, it is like being backstage at the festival! stalk through the times and dates you need to be aware in the next couple of days because you will want to keep across this. around 12:30 today, either liz truss or rishi sunak will be crowned the winner of the conservative leadership contest and the country's next prime minister. that will be just down the road in central london. they don't automatically immediately become prime minister, though. that happens tomorrow, when the queen has to formally appoint them to the post, and unusually that will not be happening at buckingham palace as it normally does. the queen is at balmoral, on holiday, she will not come back to london, for personal reasons. she has had health concerns recently so she will stay at balmoral, johnson will see her first and then the new prime minister will be enrolled. after that, the new prime minister will get on a plane and fly back to london and come here
8:08 am
to downing street and address the nation for the first time as pm from outside number 10 and then it is straight to work. a groaning in tray of things to deal with immediately. tomorrow afternoon, into tomorrow evening, the new leader will begin to appoint their new top government team and then it is expected the first cabinet meeting, they will sit around a table together on wednesday morning, about this time on wednesday, and then it's straight to the confrontation of prime minister's questions, the conservative party leader and the new pm faces keir starmer in the house of commons. straight to work. i'm joined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. let's not dance. took us three... everybody is talking about the fact that all the papers are referring to liz truss, talk to anyone in westminster and they are assuming it is liz truss. i would view as our thinking is this a done deal, it is liz truss with yellow i think so. i have not spoken to anyone over the
8:09 am
past 24 hours he have not spoken to anyone over the past 24 hours— past 24 hours he was predicting an hinu past 24 hours he was predicting anything else. _ past 24 hours he was predicting anything else, even _ past 24 hours he was predicting anything else, even those - past 24 hours he was predictingj anything else, even those close past 24 hours he was predicting i anything else, even those close to rishi sunak i find i don't think you will lose by much, they are not saying he is going to win. assuming liz truss walks behind that door for the first time as prime minister tomorrow, she is going to have such a daunting in tray. all prime ministers have big challenges. chris johnson and theresa may both had brexit, david cameron the public finances —— borisjohnson. i can't think about anyone this century of anyone who had such a pressing issue. she has literally a few days, maybe 40 hours after taking power, to tell us what she's going to do about the issue that will define a premiership in these early days, weeks and months, which is the cost—of—living crisis and what help she will give households and businesses across the country who are really struggling with energy bills. in are really struggling with energy bills. ., , ., bills. in the early part of the campaign — bills. in the early part of the campaign he _ bills. in the early part of the campaign he memorably -

8:11 am
she might announce it later this week. as i say, not confirmed, team truss are not going there this morning. but what i do think we will see later this week, probably thursday or friday, is a big intervention, tens of billions of pounds, essentially something similar to furlough when rishi sunak stood there and revealed he would pay everybody�*s wages for a while during the pandemic. i think we will see something similar. the challenge is huge. it is the thing everybody is huge. it is the thing everybody is worried about at home but also the thing that all politicians are worried about. i spoke to one senior tory last night, someone who might be around the cabinet table by the end of the week, and i want to tell you what they said. if we get energy right, if the conservatives get energy right, they could win the next election. if they get it wrong, they are out. the stakes are high politically and economically. liz truss has a matter of hours to hit the ground running. it is a really daunting in tray and a really

8:14 am
october. let's look at the two candidates. what do they plan to do about the challenge is yellow to liz truss, recovery means putting money backin truss, recovery means putting money back in pockets. she plans to reverse national insurance rises, would put a halt on corporation tax rises. she would call an emergency budget to look at public services and funding the nhs and when it comes to energy, no more windfall taxes from her. they would be no rationing of energy although yesterday she said there would be support announced within the first week for households. her contender rishi sunak said it would be folly, in his words, to cut taxes before we have great inflation. income tax would come down eventually, but that pledged to increase corporation tax gradually, he says he will stick to his guns on that. energy, he said that tax, that windfall tax for energy providers, that needs to be stuck to, and he has not ruled out rationing although he would say, he does say he would cut vat on

have to make, even within the first few minutes and hours, are absolutely enormous. we have more to come from downing street this morning and plenty more coverage of course throughout the day on the bbc. there is a live programme at noon. huw edwards will be hosting from downing street when he gets that about who our next premise to will be. i said it was an exciting day and that even larry the cat would care because he gets a new owner as of today, but larry doesn't seem overly bothered. not even that music blaring out from the pa system... i suppose it is all old hat for him. he has counted them in and out, he has had flu premise this in ten years on due here, so he has seen it all before.— seen it all before. larry has the riaht seen it all before. larry has the right idea- _ police in canada are hunting for two men after at least !0 people
8:20 am
were killed and !5 others injured in a series of mass stabbings. the attacks took place across !3 locations in saskatchewan province. jessie anton, a localjournalist from the canadian broadcasting corporation, gave us this update a little earlier. i can tell you it is a really sad situation and, as you mentioned, ten people are dead. another !5 are hospitalised and rcmp, the national police here in canada, say more people could be injured, they could have just driven themselves to hospital. those are just the people we know of who are killed and who were injured today. i can tell you that the killing spree — it was a stabbing spree — started injames smith cree nation, an indigenous community just in the north—east of where i am located right now, and i am in regina, the capital of saskatchewan so it is about four
8:21 am
hours or so north. the first notification to police about the stabbing came in just before six o'clock, and shortly after when police arrived at the scene they noticed that the calls kept coming in and it turns out there were !3 different crime scenes. !3 different places where people were either killed or injured and that includes a nearby community of weldon, saskatchewan, a little village — about only 200 people live there — so both of those places were targeted. police have given very few details but the details we do know is that these two people, they both share a last name, though we don't know if they are related, two men in their early 30s. the people that they hurt were both targeted and it was also a random attack, so so many unanswered questions. police investigating the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel have arrested three men. a man has been held on suspicion of her murder —
8:22 am
and the attempted murder of olivia's mother. two other men have been detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. from today, millions of people in england and scotland will be invited for their autumn covid booster vaccine. care—home residents will be first in line for the jab — as health bosses predict a resurgence of covid and flu this winter. wales has already started offering boosters — while the rollout will begin in northern ireland in two weeks' time. barristers in england and wales are going on continuous strike from today — following a row with the government over pay. the criminal bar association is asking for a 25% rise in legal aid fees after earlier rejecting the government's 15% pay offer. thejustice minister sarah dines has called the escalation of the row "irresponsible". matt has the weather and a spectacular image. good morning. not
8:23 am
just one, but two. i don't know whether you prefer the lightning or the aurora but both were visible last night across the uk, captured by oui’ our weather watchers. the lightning was particularly spectacular, keeping many away. it has eased but the rain associated is still on the go across northern scotland. no more lightning or thunder with that but a wet start here across northern scotland. at least for the next few hours but it will clear north of the mainland by the time we end the morning. some rain at times and orkney and shetland and the morning mist and fog clearing, lots of sunshine around before the showers get going and southern areas once again. warm in the sunshine stop deputy mild start temperatures widely around 20 to 25 degrees, but a few showers towards the south and east anglia, further west is where we could see some nasty thunderstorms developing again. some are rumbling towards the northern ireland area, across the isle of man, north—west england and into
8:24 am
scotland as we go through tonight. clear skies developing, a few more mist and fog patches and another pretty one night, temperatures around !3 to !6 degrees for many as we start tomorrow. tomorrow, more showers around and it will be a showery week, meaning variable amounts of rain. if you want rain for the gardener can't completely guarantee it and it will be warm with this in china's over the next few days but to let late in the wake. . ~ few days but to let late in the wake. ., ,. i. here on breakfast we've been following the stories of several sports stars who are living with motor neurone disease — including former gloucester rugby union player ed slater. he announced his diagnosis back injuly — but yesterday he returned to the pitch for a very special match after his teammate billy twelvetrees dedicated his testimonial to him. in his testimonial to him. fact, that was on saturday. ed's situation surprised all of us, rocked all of us like it has done. we've had the bike ride, and had tremendous fun, but i want to just do as much as i can personally, and me and my family can and we can coming together today to raise
8:25 am
as much money for a great bloke in ed. when players retire, it's moments like this that they miss. and in ed slater�*s case, he was forced to retire after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. at the weekend, his friends and gloucester team—mate billy twelvetrees dedicated his testimonial match to ed. it was another chance to run out at kingsholm with his family by his side, in front of a home crowd. ed kicked off to start the game before running off the pitch. to be honest with you, i've been nervous about what my contribution is going to be today. in an ideal world i would have played ten minutes, but because of mnd symptoms, bits and pieces, it's not a sensible idea. so, obviously, part of having mnd is those messages aren't getting through to your limbs and your muscles the way you want them to.
8:26 am
so it's something i'm going to have to deal with and adapt to but it has meant that i've probably not been able to do any minutes playing today. many of those on the pitch also joined ed for the gruelling 350—mile three—day bike ride last month in the august heat. so, forformer players, is this any easier? i would say, honestly, this is harder. because you think it's still inside you to play the game and take the contact, but it's tough, it's tough, but obviously it's class being back at kingsholm with all the lads again. it's something i thought i'd never do personally. i said to my wife, i promised her i'd never play rugby again. then obviously, as the years go by, billy asked me, obviously the reasons around ed, as well, it's one of them where you kind of have to — and want to. i think the bike ride was possibly one of the hardest things i've ever done but still worth it, the bike ride. some of us have still got no
8:27 am
feeling in our feet, it's obviously tragic and we've just got to be around him, support him, support his family, things like this raising awareness as well for this disease it is really important and obviously everyone being here today shows that as well, the support. there are world cup winners, former british lions and internationals spread across both sides. testimony to the high regard players have for ed and for billy. this is purely entertainment for everyone. a few boys having a punch—up as you can see, i might go and join in. and everyone's motivation for playing is clear. hugely, i think to get behind ed. good mates getting behind to try and raise as much awareness and do something for ed whilst he still can. we just want to keep the energy going. one of ed's closest friends came straight off the bike ride and back into training for gloucester. so opted to watch from the stands. ed tried to talk me into getting a little bit of a run out but i pulled a sickie from it. so i'm watching and enjoying that bit. i think it was a great thing bill did that he put this
8:28 am
game forward for ed, and it shows what a decent bloke ed is, and then everyone coming out to support him has been terrific, pretty heart—warming. the water carriers were ed and billy's children. this was a special occasion for ed's family who were helped by the support they're currently receiving. i thinkjust as we are navigating the beginnings of a crazyjourney, it's been amazing to see at points people reaching out and just showing support by being here. i think it'sjust so important for ed and also, yeah, for me to make sure... it keeps us going, doesn't it? it keeps us — going, doesn't it? feeling like we can help to raise the profile of it and make sure we're doing all we can to raise awareness. the spotlight is a little bit on the people that are suffering from the disease, but the reality is, it's just as difficult for the wives, partners, parents, the children. and that's something that we are learning about everyday and that's something
8:29 am
that we are learning about every day with our own family and speaking to other people that are in the same position. at the end of the day, jo is the one who's going to be left to pick up the pieces, and that's an incredibly difficultjob. so she's done an amazing job supporting me but it is, yeah, it's as difficult for her as it is for me living with it. it's definitely day by day, although there are highs and lows, but then there are funny moments that we always laugh at. like yesterday he was like, "jo, you need to come out in the garden, we need to chuck the ball around because i need to practise. if i'm expecting to do some running around." so i was there giving it my best shot. he is still able to catch my really terrible passing. there will be many tough days ahead for this family but this, this was a good day. lovely to see them at that match. at that match. breakfast is on bbc one until 9:15 this morning — then it's time for morning live.

8:32 am
good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. currently, all london schools are in areas where air quality breaches world health organization limits. but research by the university of surrey shows that some simple measures can help improve that situation. measures like having air purifiers in classrooms can reduce indoor pollution levels by half, and scientists say stopping people driving past schools at the start and end of the school day can improve air quality by over a third. a man riding an e—scooter in south london has died after a crash with a car. the metropolitan police said it happened on ferndale road in brixton on saturday evening. the 53—year—old rider was taken to hospital where he passed away. there were more than 20 arrests in buckinghamshire yesterday morning at the country's biggest milk processing plant. members of the group animal rebellion blockaded arla's
8:33 am
distribution centre in aylesbury demanding the government does more to encourage plant—based farming. arla recently obtained an injunction to stop people protesting at its sites. if you're heading on the underground or overground today, look out for some new green spaces which have popped up. it's because staff have been allowed to use quiet corners and areas of stations to brighten up and create small gardens. the new displays are also intended to help make travelling more welcoming and pleasant for both customers and staff. people like it and it just uplifts me to see the smile on people's faces. people have a lot of discussion with me about what flowers i put in, and, you know, that they love the garden and it's nice, when you've had a hard day at work, to come through and just see brightness. it's just uplifting and just nice and tranquil. a look at the tube board now. central and jubilee lines have minor delays due to train cancellations. the elizabeth line has delays
8:34 am
between liverpool street and shenfield due to a signalfailure. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. you may well have been woken up through the early hours of this morning by a band of heavy, thundery showers moving north eastwards across the capital. that band of showers has now of course cleared but there is a deep area of low pressure sitting out towards the west of us that's going to be throwing some more showers as we head through the next few days also, a brisk and southerly wind at times. also some sunny spells, temperatures are lower than they have been but still above the average for the time of year. get set for a rather unsettled week of weather ahead. but it is a dry start to this morning. there is some mist and also some cloud around, particularly towards eastern areas but it will slowly brighten up as we head throughout the morning. sunny spells but watch out for some more showers that will get going through the late morning and into the afternoon. possibly another rumble of thunder or two at times, temperatures peaking in the low 20s in celsius and there's quite a fresh southerly wind blowing as well. as we head through this
8:35 am
evening and overnight, there could be another band of thundery showers again moving north—eastwards, but also some clear spells around. we start the day tomorrow on a mild note. more sunny spells but also some more showers in the forecast tomorrow and wednesday. that's it. good morning, welcome back to downing street. injust a good morning, welcome back to downing street. in just a few hours' time, less than four hours, we are going to find out whether it will be liz truss or rishi sunak the next prime minister of britain and northern ireland. when there come to number 10, they will have to deal with this, the protesters are here and they are piping in some music. they will probably not be every day
8:36 am
here but they are here because you are here watching and everyone has their eyes fixed on this famous front door. this is where it will happen over the next couple of days. you can see stuff going on, it's the last full day that they will be working for borisjohnson. these are the staff going in. borisjohnson will stand down officially tomorrow but he will find out who his successor is today. we thought we would stand back and reflect on the borisjohnson premiership, only boris johnson premiership, only three borisjohnson premiership, only three years but certainly packed a lot into that time. ben wright looks back at a time which has been far from boring. there is unlikely to be another prime minister quite like boris johnson. ..capacity of independence. music: song 2 by blur. # woo—hoo! peppa pig world is very much my kind of place. # woo—hoo!
8:37 am
# all of the time but i'm never sure why i need you. _ i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the bestjob in the world. but them's the breaks. # oh, yeah! thank you very much. a premiership that was brief and chaotic but reshaped the country. an election—winning leader who was slung out of office by his party. he took over in 2019 after theresa may was toppled. with many mps trying to block a no—deal brexit, borisjohnson soon proved his readiness to rip up conventions by suspending parliament — a move criticised by the supreme court. the decision to advise her majesty to prorogue parliament was unlawful. weeks later, he gambled on a general election, winning the tories their biggest majority for 30 years. we did it!
8:38 am
we pulled it off, didn't we? the man who had led the brexit campaign now had the votes in parliament to leave the eu. brexit deeply split the country — its legacy will be felt and disputed for years. for this reason alone, borisjohnson will go down in history as a prime minister of consequence. sirens. and then came this. the first pandemic for a century. i must give the british people a very simple instruction — you must stay at home. covid dominated his premiership. lockdowns. .. ..a vaccine, but many lives lost. an inquiry will examine what the government got right and wrong. have you lied to the public, prime minister? clearly wrong was the lockdown—breaking culture in downing street during covid. the partygate scandal engulfed borisjohnson. there were allegations, denials, a police investigation, and fines — including one for the prime minister

himself. i take full responsibility for everything that took place on my watch. his integrity was under question, his authority damaged. i can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence. borisjohnson survived a confidence vote injune, but number 10's handling of a sexual—harassment allegation involving a tory mp a month later was the final straw. how are you? nice to see you. borisjohnson's muscular support for ukraine following russia's invasion is an important part of his legacy, too. his successor will now have to deal with the conflict that is fuelling a gifted campaigner brought down by his own conduct in office. ben wright, bbc news, westminster.

what are three years it has been. what are three years it has been. what happens next? there are such urgent issues for the next prime minister to deal with and they will have to hit the ground running, whichever one of them takes over. liz truss or rishi sunak, they are going to have to mix a massive decision is very, very quickly. particularly on the cost of living crisis and those energy bills particularly on the cost of living crisis and those energy hills which so many people are worried about. our political editor chris mason has just sent a message saying that liz truss's team say they are working on a support package on energy bills and have been for weeks. she has faced criticism during the campaign that she had not given enough detail, that she wanted to get in there as prime minister, look through the books and talk to the treasury before she can be clear about what kind of help could be made available for bill payers. we understand that on thursday this week, she has pencilled in thursday as the day when she makes an announcement on exactly what how
8:41 am
people can expect. but we had her team that there have been, quote, very active discussions with all the major oil and gas producers for some time. lots of measures have been considered, and her teams are not denying reports in some of the papers this morning that she is considering a majorfreeze papers this morning that she is considering a major freeze on energy bills. at the beginning of the leadership campaign she said no more hand—outs. we are not sure whether this is a direct band hand—outs. we are not sure whether this is a direct hand out or a different way of funding it but the suggestion is they are not denying that there might be a freeze on energy bills this autumn and winter at least. nadhim zahawi, the current chancellor, is expected to keep a job in liz truss's government, possibly not as chancellor but we understand he is likely to be part of the wider team. he has been to the states recently as we have been reporting and while there has been having discussions about this possible solution in terms of our bills. we also understand from chris
8:42 am
mason, this is interesting, that a few weeks ago, during the campaign, long before the conservative party members started voting, long before we found out he was run, that she travelled to chequers in buckinghamshire and had an afternoon of talks with boris johnson buckinghamshire and had an afternoon of talks with borisjohnson about the role of prime minister, about what thejob here the role of prime minister, about what the job here involved, the role of prime minister, about what thejob here involved, what happens behind the front door. sol guess if she does win and that is what everybody here, including apparently liz truss and her team selves, so that she can hit the ground running and start making those decisions and announcing those decisions quickly. one final point from chris, he says that on his last full day as prime minister today, borisjohnson is expected to speak to the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky on the telephone. we saw him with president zelensky in kyiv on that piecejust him with president zelensky in kyiv on that piece just then from ben wright, but one of the last things he will do will be to commit to the uk's relationship with ukraine. so,
8:43 am
the big announcement, who is going to take over come this lunchtime. and you can watch it live here on bbc one and on the iplayer. a special programme called 'our new prime minister�* starts at midday, presented by my colleague huw edwards. we will have all of the information and updates continually on bbc radio and updates continually on bbc radio and bbc news website and on the app. it will be a busy day today, possibly even busier tomorrow because tomorrow is the day when the new prime minister actually comes here the first time and boris johnson actually leaves here for the last time. we will be here with all of that live in downing street, a very busy few days ahead which will affect every single one of us. but let's go back to sally in the studio. we need to pause for breath, it's crazy here. i studio. we need to pause for breath, it's crazy here-— it's crazy here. i think you better stay there. _ it's crazy here. i think you better stay there, plenty _ it's crazy here. i think you better stay there, plenty more - it's crazy here. i think you better stay there, plenty more coming. it's crazy here. i think you better- stay there, plenty more coming. jon is live in downing street. and we

8:45 am
manchester united are on the up. and who would have said that a few weeks ago when they lost their first two league games? antony on target 30 minutes into his debut and although arsenal scored through bukayo saka, it was rashford, showing signs of being back to his best, scored twice in a three one win. i have to credit the spirit from this team, they can deal with setbacks. so we did. and that's really great that the team can do that, that shows that mentality, i think we really improved on that fact. we have the right characters, now it's about cooperation, get the resilience in, deal with setbacks, but also believe. you see there is still room for improvement. if you had to pick your top four, six games in, not sure brighton would be in it? they are though, 5—2 they beat leicester. a great free kick from alexis macallister. leicester though are bottom. the results are down to me 100%. i'm the manager, so i take responsibility for that.
8:46 am
but we have to go away and work hard again and even harder. and let's see if we can get that first win. are we seeing a new nick kyrgios? you think about the bad—boy image, the tantrums on court. he's been pulling off some brilliant results — wimbledon finalist this year — it all came together as he beat the defending champion and world number one daniil medvedev to reach the quarterfinals of the us open. there was the brilliant shot—making and that booming serve to seal it, and he credits his fine form to a more professional approach — and it's clearly working. coco gauff could be the woman to beat in the women's singles — the american teenager beat china's zhang shuai in straight sets. she reached the final of the french open this year and will play france's caroline garcia in the quarterfinals. we've already showed you some great goals this morning, now how about a great putt? all 65 foot of it from england's oliver wilson. your luck�*s clearly in if those are dropping.
8:47 am
he should play the lottery, shouldn't he? this will feel like he's won it. the former ryder cup player hasn't won a big tournament in eight years. lewis hamilton had a weekend to forget. leading with 15 laps to go at the dutch grand prix, he was overtaken by max verstappen after a saftey car came out. he was fuming with his team for leaving him out on the track. and it got worse — he ended up finishing fourth. it's always special to win your home grand prix. it was already last year. this year i have to say i had to work for it even more, so, yeah. an incredible weekend and i'm really happy we got the dutch grand prix. so, there you go. what does nick k raios so, there you go. what does nick kyrgios mean _ so, there you go. what does nick kyrgios mean when _ so, there you go. what does nick kyrgios mean when it _ so, there you go. what does nick kyrgios mean when it has - so, there you go. what does nick kyrgios mean when it has more i kyrgios mean when it has more professional? he is quite professional? he is quite professional already. i professional? he is quite professional already. i think 'ust trainina . professional already. i think 'ust training. hefi professional already. i think 'ust training. he neveri professional already. i think 'ust training. he never really i professional already. i thinkjust

8:49 am
will come to scotland by the end of the morning, showers into the afternoon, dry and sunny weather for many and then through the afternoon we will seek more heavy showers and the odd rumble of thunder developed through southern counties and into wales and the midlands. some will avoid it altogether, blustery winds in the south—west, getting close to gale force in the far west of cornwall. some warm air coming in in the south east, temperatures quite widely in the low to mid 20s. we finished the day with more heavy showers and thunderstorms, particularly wales and the western half of england, northern ireland and pushing north into scotland later in the night. not much rain if any at all through eastern england tonight but here, a warm night as it will be for many of us, 13 to 60 degrees into the morning. i humoured started to tuesday. more cloud around, a greater chance of a shower or two coming your way, when they come they could be heavy and

8:52 am
meghan spoke of her deep unhappiness, lack of royal support, and the bombshell claim that, prior to son archie's birth, a racist comment had been made by an unnamed royal about the colour of their baby's skin. in between events, engagements, and a growing number of legal actions, the revelations have kept coming. there's harry's much—anticipated autobiography. and just last month, meghan gave a lengthy interview in which she was asked about forgiveness between her, her family and the royal family. she said... the suggestion that there may be more to reveal. the streaming giants spotify and netflix, which have paid them millions of dollars for content, should be delighted to hear that. this was the last time the couple were in the uk — for the platinum jubilee. prince harry is currently embroiled in a legal dispute
