this is bbc news — i'mjane hill live in downing street — the headlines at nine. boris johnson's successor as prime minister will be revealed later when either liz truss or rishi sunak is named next conservative leader. the new pm will inherit a flagging economy, with inflation at a ao—year high and cost of living crisis. our other main stories this hour... a charity has warned

the government to abandon its plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda — after finding many of those selected may have been victims of torture. barristers in england and wales go on indefinite strike — in their dispute with the government over pay. and meghan, the duchess of sussex, will address the opening ceremony of the one young world summit in manchester this evening amidst continuing controversy over her relationship with the royal family.

welcome to 10 downing street, at lunchtime you will find out who will be moving in as new conservative leader and new prime minister. it candidates originally, thousands of votes, and a couple of hours from now we will find out whether it is liz truss rishi sunak who are moving into number ten behind me. they officially become prime minister tomorrow. that brings boris johnson's three year premiership to an end. let us start our coverage today with this report from our political correspondent. 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 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. 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, 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. the key moment is scheduled for half—past 12. that is when we will find out whether is liz trash or rishi sunak who has won that ballot of conservative party members. the queen will then formally appoint them to their post tomorrow, at balmoral.

at lunchtime tomorrow we will hear from the new occupant of downing street. then the new prime minister starts to appoint the new government team. it is expected the first cabinet meeting will take place on wednesday, before the new prime minister has their first prime minister's questions, as is traditional, at lunchtime. whoever becomes prime minister will have a monumental task, both economically and politically. rising inflation and high energy prices will be at the forefront of voters�* minds, while businesses will be keen to see stability and a commitment to economic growth going forward. 0ur economics editor faisal islam has been looking at some of the immediate pressing issues. this is the economic reality,

inflation at 10%, heading for a 15%, perhaps 20%, five, ten times target. economy in general already falling, heading for a 1990s style recession according to the bank of england. at the core of it all, energy prices, average household inflation adjusted energy bill, over the past few decades, until now. real questions about whether households can actually afford that. whilst the waugh in ukraine continues there is little chance of energy prices falling significantly. —— whilst the conflict in ukraine continues. as yet, no detail on helping people with energy bills. liz truss says she will have people keep more of their money by cutting taxes, reversing this years rise in

national insurance, cancelling planned £17 billion rise in taxes on corporate profits, that will require more borrowing at a delicate time in the markets. it is an economically troubling time with an ominous decision over what to prioritise. the energy rescue, or tax cuts, needing to be made within days, and impacting every household in the country. our economics editor there. let's speak to chris hopkins, who's associate director at savanta comres — that's a market research consultancy which tracks political opinion and voting intention. it will be a shock to everybody if rishi sunak is announced as the winner at lunchtime. absolutely. ever since _ winner at lunchtime. absolutely. ever since mps _ winner at lunchtime. absolutely. ever since mps started _ winner at lunchtime. absolutely.

ever since mps started voting, . ever since mps started voting, opinion polls were conducted, it did not seem rishi sunak was particularly popular amongst mps, this feels a bit more like a coronation today. it could still be rishi sunak. apparently turnout was low. until recently that should favour rishi sunak. the question today is how close the race will be, it does appear to be a foregone conclusion, and has been for a long time, that liz truss will be next prime minister. if she is not, it is a bad day for pollsters? yes. i guess it could be. we did not serve in election ourselves. the demographic data for the conservative membership is pretty unknown, held under lock and key. it is difficult to do this kind of

thing. but there have been so many more surveys this time compared to 2019 and borisjohnson was elected, as put it this type of polling has good track record. it would be a massive shock to everybody if rishi sunak ends up being prime minister today. rishi sunak leading among mps today. rishi sunak leading among mps to begin with, and then moving towards liz trash. —— liz truss. it is worth reminding people of the small number of people who have had eight votes, membership thought to be about 160,000 people. 160,000 people out of a nation of more than 60 million, who gets to decide who walks through that door tomorrow. absolutely. a majority of the public thinks that is an undemocratic way to go about things, but in recent times more and more prime ministers have walked out the door and come in

the door without a general election. it seems to becoming more common at the minute. party members end up choosing notjust the leader but the prime minister as well. theresa may, at the same way. not as unprecedented as ten or 15 years ago. just a quick thought about national polling, talk will turn to the next general election. very striking looking at some national opinion polls over the last few weeks, where we have all been watching this race continue. putting labour up with a strong lead. how much do we know about what has been done comparing sarah keir starmerfor labour about what has been done comparing sarah keir starmer for labour versus either liz truss or rishi sunak? in some respects it is a good opportunity for the new conservative leader to have a clean state. boris

johnson, partygate and other allegations were toxic for the brand. at the same time they are inheriting an entry that no prime minister would be keen on. the economic issues that the country is facing, also global issues, pressure on the nhs this winter also. it builds up a poison chalice, as well as a backdrop, only half a term to make their pitch to the public. they are on the back foot, but what works to their advantage as the public are not that enamoured with keir starmer or labour either, they have the opportunity therefore to win back some votes that have been lost to the labour party throughout boris johnson's prime ministerial tenure. but it is such a difficult economic backdrop, if the blame for that is laid at conservative party donor, they will face an uphill battle no matter who is the leader. —— laid at

the conservative party doors. thank you. we will talk more about the economic picture over the course of the morning. just to explain why chris was standing outside the queen elizabeth the second conference centre, that is because that is the venue where the announcement will be made. it is very busy down there at the qe2 conference centre. later in the day, attention turned seed at number ten. sir graham brady from the 1922 committee will announce that at the centre of beatrice was talking to us from. as we were reflecting, as chris was mentioning, the next prime minister is inheriting one of the most difficult economic challenges in decades.

there are days when the happenings of westminster can feel 1 million miles away from places like this. not today. the biggest covered indoor market in europe. it has been going for more than 150 years. the challenge for the new prime minister is to protect, support and help businesses while inflation is above 10%, while interest rates are going up. let as chat about what it is looking like for businesses. martin is from federation of small businesses.— is from federation of small businesses. . , ., ~ ., businesses. have you ever known it so challenging? _ businesses. have you ever known it so challenging? no. _ businesses. have you ever known it so challenging? no. i— businesses. have you ever known it so challenging? no. i have - businesses. have you ever known it so challenging? no. i have been - businesses. have you ever known it so challenging? no. i have been inl so challenging? no. i have been in business for 35 years, this is as bad as it has ever been, a lot of businesses are hanging on by their fingernails, taxes are high, demand is low, cash is running out. we need urgent action from governments now. what would that look like? the biggest thing that hurts businesses are the taxes are applied before they make any profits, that is things like business rates, national

insurance, we need the government to recognise that the current energy bills and these kind of taxes are really hurting. what you said to be earlier, whatever happens, it needs to happen now. let us talk to phil, he runs a book store on the high street, it has been in the family for nearly 30 years, challenging times, what do you need to see? it is years, challenging times, what do you need to see?— you need to see? it is a debate about the _ you need to see? it is a debate about the local _ you need to see? it is a debate about the local economy, - you need to see? it is a debate about the local economy, it - you need to see? it is a debate about the local economy, it is l about the local economy, it is precarious, even coming out of lockdown period, the traditional nature of the high street has not been properly discussed, there has been properly discussed, there has been no long—term strategy for it. in terms of specifics, we look at an overhaul of business rates, particularly for small businesses, a lowering of vat, and indirect tax affecting everybody�*s ability to spend. we need certainty over our overheads with heating and lighting and things like that. and the cost of living crisis is going to make everybody�*s products become a luxury. everybody's products become a luxu . . , , ., everybody's products become a luxu . . , ., , luxury. that is the problem for us. can ou luxury. that is the problem for us. can you afford _ luxury. that is the problem for us. can you afford that _ luxury. that is the problem for us. can you afford that book _ luxury. that is the problem for us. can you afford that book if - luxury. that is the problem for us. can you afford that book if you - can you afford that book if you cannot afford to heat your house?

does levelling up mean anything? sadly not. one of those promises that has never been fulfilled. you can as northern powerhouse to that. a couple of words is nothing behind it. we do feel a little disenfranchised up here. we are at the home of where marks & spencer is started our store just down for us. we just started our store just down for us. wejust wonder, started our store just down for us. we just wonder, they have been able to put up with some of the things that we are now having to, to give them the longevity that they have had. thank you. and now, you work in the care sector, what pressure have you been under? you said it is a crunch point, do you foresee more carers are leaving unless there are changes?— are leaving unless there are chances? , ., , ., changes? yes. one of the carers, a fabulous killer _ changes? yes. one of the carers, a fabulous killer that _ changes? yes. one of the carers, a fabulous killer that looked - changes? yes. one of the carers, a fabulous killer that looked after - changes? yes. one of the carers, a fabulous killer that looked after my mam, she has got a job in marks and

spencers. —— one of the fabulous carers. how is it that retail is are more exciting job with more benefits than looking after the most vulnerable people in society? the government have to recognise that if social care breaks, nhs breaks, everything around it. we need to look at putting funding end, protecting the unpaid carers, that may show that together, look after them financially, and emotionally. the mental health system is broken. people don't realise what it is like. it is about time that a prime minister, who has been part of a government that is absolutely wrecked social care, gets a grip, and looks after the people that look after the most vulnerable in our society. after the most vulnerable in our socie . . ~ after the most vulnerable in our socie . ., ~ , ., after the most vulnerable in our socie . . ~' ~ after the most vulnerable in our socie . ., ~ , ., ~ ., after the most vulnerable in our socie . ., ~ ~ ., ., , society. thank you. we wait to see. both candidates _ society. thank you. we wait to see. both candidates have _ society. thank you. we wait to see. both candidates have a _ society. thank you. we wait to see. both candidates have a pledge - society. thank you. we wait to see. both candidates have a pledge theyj both candidates have a pledge they will address funding in nhs and social care. you cannot overestimate

the crisis. the pound has been wobbling, data set a record high, energy fluctuations, outside their control. it has been a long and gruelling campaign. in some ways the real work starts now. notjust domestic issues that will face river walk through this door behind me tomorrow, because the uk has been one of ukraine's most stalwart backers since russia invaded the country six months ago. president zelensky and boris johnson have enjoyed a close relationship. what could a new prime minister mean

for the continuing butyl —— brutal conflict in ukraine? to what extent, frankly, is domestic politics in this country even being talked about? are people cognisant of it where you are? good morning. people are paying attention. they know there will be a change in downing street in the uk. 0bviously, people know that the uk has been one of the main allies in terms of military support, in terms of diplomatic support. borisjohnson has been an extremely popular figure here because of the support he has been giving to this country, but also because of the very strong statements he has been giving when it comes to president vladimir putin, seeing that president vladimir putin needs to be defeated. people here obviously enjoy this level of support that is coming from

the uk. but people also know that there is a cost of living crisis in there is a cost of living crisis in the uk, people are very concerned about rising energy bills, and i think it is something that we are starting to hear from a think it is something that we are starting to hearfrom a high think it is something that we are starting to hear from a high level officials here in this country, over the weekend president zelensky accusing russia of using gas and energy as a weapon, trying to hit european countries with turning off gas supplies and all the rest of it. even the first lady of ukraine seeing, as the uk counts pennies, we are counting casualties. people are paying attention, and the hope is that the change in number ten will result in a change in level of support that uk has been giving to ukraine. and liz truss, foreign secretary of

course, sort known in some quarters where you are. while you are with us, talk to us about the latest situation on the ground, the latest with ukrainian troops, and still, this concern about the nuclear plant. yes, exactly. a team of the international atomic energy agency remain at the power plant. we should get an update on the situation tomorrow when the head of the agency believes the united nations security council, in terms of military developments, an update last night from president zelensky, saying that there was some good reports coming from the front lines, that the ukrainian army managed to retake two villages in the south of the country, a third village in the east, he also talked about some territory being liberated in the east of the country, and for more than a week now we have been talking

about this operation by the ukrainian army against russian forces. especially in the south, especially round a city that has been under russian occupation since the very beginning of the waugh. it is one of the largest ukrainian cities in russian hands. —— beginning of the saskatchewan. but officials warning people not to expect —— beginning of waugh. 0fficials warning not to expect any major gains quickly. how will our new prime minister be received across europe? this morning, the french foreign minister said she hoped it would be a new start in relations

between the two countries, whoever won. 0ur correspondentjessica parker is in brussels. how much attention is paid to this? not so much attention, you would not be surprised to hear. to be honest, here in brussels, the main talk of the town is the energy crisis. and what the eu and member states are going to do to try and build at their supplies, especially after the nord stream pipeline was unexpectedly shut on saturday, and how to protect consumers and businesses as well. they will pay some attention to who the new uk prime minister is but it does not top of the agenda. having said that, there is an ongoing unresolved dispute between the united kingdom and the eu, that is the post—brexit arrangements for northern ireland.

liz truss, the frontrunner, the person expected to be announced as new conservative party leader today, the architect of some controversial legislation that could essentially override parts of that treaty that both sides agreed for those special agents for northern ireland. that went down badly with the european union. they are not expecting a huge change in approach given she was the architect of that legislation, and is now likely to step through the doors of number ten. however, there will be some curiosity to see what she does and sees over the next few days and few weeks. the feeling here is that some of what you have heard regarding that tory leadership campaign has been candidates played to the crowd, that is what they think here, then the reality of government will set in, and it'll be “p government will set in, and it'll be up to liz truss and the eu in terms of weight they go in that dispute over those post—brexit arrangements in northern and whether the escalate. much more to come from you.

let as close this half hour of coverage with our chief correspondence, and look ahead to what today and tomorrow holds. we find out at lunch of course. we find out at lunch of course. we are all talking, everybody is talking, as if it is liz truss, a done deal. your thoughts on that? we can't be certain untiljust after half past 12. you won't find anyone around westminster who is predicting anything other than a liz truss when. even rishi sunak, close allies, are seeing they will not lose by that much, but they're not predicting he will win. everybody is preparing for liz truss to walk into that building tomorrow as prime ministerfor the first time. that building tomorrow as prime minister for the first time. there is a lot for her to think about, there are a lot of charges for the new prime minister to face up to, but there is one that is rated dominates, that is energy, the cost of living crisis. that is going to

define her first few hours, weeks and months in power. how much of healing, what sort of hints of healing, bring us up date with what her camp has been suggesting about what might be done, because time is of the essence? people want something done now. we will hear from people want something done now. we will hearfrom her people want something done now. we will hear from her probably on thursday about her plan. it will involve tens of billions of pounds, could be on a similar scale to the spending use of referral during the pandemic. 0ne spending use of referral during the pandemic. one of the things discussed with her team and energy companies is the idea of freezing the price cap at the level that it is just now, the price cap at the level that it isjust now, which the price cap at the level that it is just now, which would last a few months, but that is not guaranteed, liz truss's team is not seeing that will happen. energy companies seem to think it is an increasing possibility that she could sign up to that, but nothing confirmed just yet. herteam to that, but nothing confirmed just yet. her team are still seeing she wants to get behind that. the new

chancellor, almost certainly quality qua ten, to look at the books later this week. —— new chancellor kwarteng. the government would underwrite a loan to energy companies and would then pay back over a few years. not guaranteed just yet. 0ne then pay back over a few years. not guaranteed just yet. one of those things it is being discussed, and not being denied by liz truss's team this morning. it is a possibility. much more from our chief political correspondent and from downing street through the course of the day, and to morrow. we find out at lunchtime who the new leader of the conservative party is. that means that our prime minister of course, but that formal process

does not happen until tomorrow. from here in downing street, back to the studio. let me bring you right up to date with the other main news of the day. police in canada are hunting for two men after at least 10 people were killed and 15 others injured in a series of mass stabbings. the attacks took place across 13 locations in saskatchewan province. jessica murphy reports. it is an incident that the canadian prime minister has called horrific. police received first reports of a stabbing just before 6am. more calls began to came in. there is now a

but after that, a pleasant september day for many. some wet weather across the north of scotland. a few showers, may be a rumble of thunder. many places are staying dry. it should be a fine afternoon for many places, with sunny spells. a bit breezy in 0rkney and shetland. heavy and thundery rain in the south—west. thundery downpours in northern ireland, isle of man, and later into scotland. eat warm enough start to tuesday. tuesday, a greater chance of a few showers, there will be more. the latest sports will be south—east england, parts of wales, and the

central and southern scotland. a little cooler today. —— van today. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... boris johnson's successor as uk prime minister will be revealed later, when either liz truss or rishi sunak is named next conservative leader. the winner is expected to be announced around 12.30pm — we'll bring you full coverage. police in canada are hunting for two suspects — after ten people were stabbed to death in a series of attacks in a remote indigenous community. a new challenge to the plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda will be held at the high court today. a charity has warned the government that many of those selected for deportation may have been victims of torture. barristers in england and wales have gone on indefinite strike — in their dispute with the government over pay. the criminal bar association is asking for a 25% rise

in pay for legal aid work. (00v)and meghan, the duchess of sussex, will address the opening ceremony of the one young world summit in manchester this evening amidst continuing controversy over her relationship with the royal family. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. morning. of the billion pounds manchester united have spent on signings since sir alex ferguson left, erik ten haag says £85 million man antony is the missing piece of the jigsaw. it was a debut to remember for the new braziliian signing. that was before bukayo saka equalised for arsenal, who had won five out five before yesterday. a dream day for marcus rashford after his troubles, two goals for him, and not a bad day

for eric ten haag either. we have to credit the spirit from this team. they can deal with setbacks, so we did. and it's really great that a team can do that, that shows the mentality. i think we really improved in that fact. we have the right characters and now it is about cooperation, get the resilience in, deal with setbacks but also believe. and you see there is still room for improvement. it's really disappointing because looking back at the game, for these boys to play the way they have played here, a big credit to them but we have to come out of the game with a much better result. if 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. if you were picking yuour top four six games in, i'm not sure brighton would be in it? they are and what a goal

for alexis macallister as they beat leicester 5—2. plenty of work for leicester, still without a win — and bottom of the table. 0ur performances as a group have always been quite strong, even though the results haven't always matched those performances. they have been strong. so it's nice the last few weeks or months that we are getting the results and the performances. we have to carry on because the premier league is what it is, it's 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? 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.

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, will play france's caroline garcia in the quarter—finals. we've already showed you some great goals this morning, now how about a great putt? here's england's 0liver 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. it was though a weekend to forget for lewis hamilton who saw his hopes of a first fomula one victory of the season evaporate. max verstappen immediately over took lewis hamilton after a late safety car period and went on to claim his tenth win of the season. it extends his championship lead to 109 points with seven races to go. hamilton blamed his mercedes team

for tactics that saw him end up finishing fourth. that's all the sport, and now back to jane hill at downing street. thanks, john. welcome to downing street, where we're live ahead of the conservative leadership result expected a little later today. and therefore who will be moving into number ten behind me tomorrow. what in tray awaits whoever is the winner? let's take a few minutes to discuss just what is in that in tray and more besides with two people who follow these events very closely indeed. anne mcelvoy, who's executive editor at the economist, and seb payne, who's whitehall editor of the financial times. good morning to both of you. you're

both down there at the qe2 centre of course. whoever is announced as the winner at lunchtime, course. whoever is announced as the winnerat lunchtime, can course. whoever is announced as the winner at lunchtime, can you wing of a set of economic circumstances that a set of economic circumstances that a new incumbent at number ten has had to face? i a new incumbent at number ten has had to face?— had to face? i think it is very difficult to — had to face? i think it is very difficult to think _ had to face? i think it is very difficult to think of _ had to face? i think it is very difficult to think of any - had to face? i think it is very - difficult to think of any comparison in not evenjust living memory but thinking back a very long way for prime ministers who had quite so much going on at once in terms of the economic problems that they are going to face but also the geopolitical situation and the way these things are plain into each other. i suppose think back, i wasn't there, thank goodness i'm still young enough to say i wasn't there whenjimmy callacher fell! but you can see that 1979 feeling in the air with some industrial unrest coming into the autumn. in a sense that was also a story that was playing outcome in this case it is almost new threats, new crises that are coming thick and fast. and where the economic answer that whoever the

new prime minster is might want to give to suit their views is also going to have a very brutal reality check with the markets and with inflation and of course with the energy crisis. inflation and of course with the energy crisis— inflation and of course with the ener: crisis. , ,, , ._ energy crisis. yes, sebastien payne, ou are energy crisis. yes, sebastien payne, you are nodding _ energy crisis. yes, sebastien payne, you are nodding through _ energy crisis. yes, sebastien payne, you are nodding through some - energy crisis. yes, sebastien payne, you are nodding through some of. you are nodding through some of that. people might be following all this coverage thinking why earth would somebody want the job frankly at the moment? would somebody want the 'ob frankly at the moment?* at the moment? well, i think the boris johnson _ at the moment? well, i think the boris johnson you _ at the moment? well, i think the boris johnson you know - at the moment? well, i think thej boris johnson you know obviously at the moment? well, i think the i boris johnson you know obviously he is leaving _ boris johnson you know obviously he is leaving downing street tomorrow as prime _ is leaving downing street tomorrow as prime minister and i think he might— as prime minister and i think he might actually look back at the couple — might actually look back at the couple of months and think i'm rather— couple of months and think i'm rather glad in fact i wasn't still there — rather glad in fact i wasn't still there. because there are no really good _ there. because there are no really good answers to the crisis that we find ourselves in at the moment. there _ find ourselves in at the moment. there is— find ourselves in at the moment. there is lots of reports in the papers — there is lots of reports in the papers today, liz truss is going to have _ papers today, liz truss is going to have to _ papers today, liz truss is going to have to spend £100 billion to try and gel — have to spend £100 billion to try and get the country through the winter— and get the country through the winter and try and get the country through the winterand try and and get the country through the winter and try and deal with energy bills _ winter and try and deal with energy bills thal— winter and try and deal with energy bills. that is a huge sum of money that is— bills. that is a huge sum of money that is going to have very big economic— that is going to have very big economic consequences. i think there are a _ economic consequences. i think there are a lot _ economic consequences. i think there are a lot of— economic consequences. i think there are a lot of concerns certainly with my financial times hat on about how the markets — my financial times hat on about how the markets are going to react to this with — the markets are going to react to this with a — the markets are going to react to this with a new prime minister going

reforms of the type we've been talking about. reforms of the type we've been talkin: about. , ., ., ., , ., talking about. yes, i do want as to be about that. _ talking about. yes, i do want as to be about that. and, _ talking about. yes, i do want as to be about that. and, it _ talking about. yes, i do want as to be about that. and, it is _ be about that. and, it is fascinating and worth restating isn't it that this decision is made by approximately 160,000 people in a nation of more than 60 million. so our question is going to be asked, is that going to be debate when this is that going to be debate when this is all over, when the new incumbent is all over, when the new incumbent is in behind me in downing street as to whether this process has been right? the duration, the way that which sort of candidates come through, the selection of candidates come through stop are they going to be questions?— be questions? well, there are questions _ be questions? well, there are questions but _ be questions? well, there are questions but i _ be questions? well, there are questions but i always - be questions? well, there are questions but i always think . be questions? well, there are l questions but i always think this be questions? well, there are - questions but i always think this is a bit of a red herring. this is the process by which the parties choose leaders and it is not uncommon to switch leaders inside a parliamentary term, it happened with tony blair to gordon brown. i think what will happen is the will be intense focus on this first package of measures, whether liz truss in a way, if i've been comparing it to something i've been writing to one

of those mogul runs in skiing along the edge of a ravine. she gets through that i think it will be a sense of let's see now what else she has on offer for the sense of let's see now what else she has on offerfor the uk and sense of let's see now what else she has on offer for the uk and for our economic outlook. of course social and economic outlook because the way that people live day—to—day is linked very much to broad economic picture. i think now so we hear, it is slightly more than 160,000 members but that is what the constitution of the party says and it is not uncommon. i think we will move on from that to the question of, well, did the party get the right person to take the country or as near as dammit the right person to take the country through a situation that is unenviable. i would sayjust situation that is unenviable. i would say just slightly situation that is unenviable. i would sayjust slightly off situation that is unenviable. i would say just slightly off offset the veal i want to do it, liz truss really wants to do this. if she is, as is widely expected, as the new

prime minister, the reason that she will have one is because she wanted to do and she was prepared to fight that political battle inside the party to do so. it will be interesting to see whether that determination if indeed it is rishi sunak which would be a lot more surprising, that determination, how does it translate to this situation? do that in trade? yes, they will find intimidating but no doubt at all somebody always wants to be prime minister, we shouldn't forget that. ., , ., prime minister, we shouldn't forget that. . , ., , that. yet, that is an interesting oint and that. yet, that is an interesting point and a _ that. yet, that is an interesting point and a fair _ that. yet, that is an interesting point and a fair point _ that. yet, that is an interesting point and a fair point worth - point and a fair point worth remembering. said, again, you are nodding through some of that. you have mentioned that it will be interesting to look at the mandate and the breakdown of the vote. what sort, again, to hedge like and, assuming it is liz truss, what sort of character of cabinet are we going to see? what is the tone, what is a flavour going to be? so to see? what is the tone, what is a flavour going to be? 50 it to see? what is the tone, what is a flavour going to be?— flavour going to be? so it is going to be quite _ flavour going to be? so it is going to be quite different _ flavour going to be? so it is going to be quite different from - flavour going to be? so it is going to be quite different from boris i to be quite different from bori5 johnson's — to be quite different from bori5 johnson's cap and actually, if you johnson'5 cap and actually, if you think— johnson's cap and actually, if you think about — johnson's cap and actually, if you

as a "world—first agreement" with rwanda to try to deter migrants from crossing the channel. but the first deportation flight — due to take off onjune14 — was grounded amid a series of legal challenges. from today, millions of people in england and wales 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. it's really important for the nhs that people take up their vaccines when offered. this is but equally true of the flu vaccine programme which will be commencing over the next several weeks. and also the covid—19 vaccine programme. it is certainly the case that our nhs is under considerable stress and the more we can do to stop ourselves getting respiratory infections that need us to need hospital care, the better it will be for the nhs. police investigating

the murder of nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel have arrested three men. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder of 0livia's mother. two other men, have been detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. barristers in england and wales are going on continous strike from today — following a row with the government over pay. the criminal bar association is asking for a 25% rise in pay for legal aid work, representing defendants who could not otherwise afford lawyers. members have rejected the government's15% pay offer, saying it would not kick in immediately or apply to existing cases. sanchia berg has more. it is becoming a familiar sight in this summer of strikes, criminal barristers in front of the courts rather than arguing cases inside. now they have 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. 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 do what they have done for decades without having to take this action. however, it has hit crisis point and only this action was considered by barristers to get government to take the crisis within the criminal justice system seriously. dominic raab, on the _ justice system seriously. dominic raab, on the left, _ justice system seriously. dominic raab, on the left, as _ justice system seriously. dominic raab, on the left, as justice - raab, on the left, asjustice secretary, refused to talk to the barristers. they are hoping that a new secretary of state will take a different approach.

currently embroiled in a legal dispute with the home office about the dane grading of his police protection, citing security reasons their representatives have declined to reveal details such as where they will stay and whether they plan to visit family members. sarah campbell, bbc news. joining us now is emma greenwood who will be attending the one young world summit today as a youth ambassador. emma, welcome and thanks forjoining us. tell us a little bit about the organisation and what it means to have meghan, duches of sussex having that address later. it have meghan, duches of sussex having that address later.— that address later. it brings people across tackling _ that address later. it brings people across tackling whole _ that address later. it brings people across tackling whole range - that address later. it brings people across tackling whole range of - across tackling whole range of social issues whether it be well pace, famine, the climate crisis in office they have in the duchess speech at the opening is an incredible opportunity to bring attention to the work that that young people are doing but also to show young people that we have the support of influential public figures such as the duchess and to

show people that adults believe in us and we have the power to fight what we believe in and i hope that the duchess speaking at the summit will bring attention publicly to that. ., will bring attention publicly to that. . ., ~ ., that. here we are talking about it now but do _ that. here we are talking about it now but do you — that. here we are talking about it now but do you worry, _ that. here we are talking about it now but do you worry, are - that. here we are talking about it now but do you worry, are you i now but do you worry, are you concerned that there will be so much focus on what she is saying, how she looks, that it somehow overshadows the summit? l looks, that it somehow overshadows the summit?— the summit? i mean, turn to -- mechan the summit? i mean, turn to -- meghan has— the summit? i mean, turn to -- meghan has done _ the summit? i mean, turn to -- meghan has done so _ the summit? i mean, turn to -- meghan has done so much - the summit? i mean, turn to -- meghan has done so much workj the summit? i mean, turn to -- i meghan has done so much work to bring attention to the issues and any attention is good. from my experience the duchess is only ever wanted to support young people. what wanted to support young people. what have ou wanted to support young people. what have you made — wanted to support young people. what have you made of _ wanted to support young people. what have you made of recent coverage of meghan and also what she done in terms of interviews? l meghan and also what she done in terms of interviews?— terms of interviews? i think she owes continues _ terms of interviews? i think she owes continues to _ terms of interviews? i think she owes continues to support - terms of interviews? i think she | owes continues to support young people and the duke and duchess continue to fight a lot for as you

you saw that we have had barely any rain in ipswich and that is even with the storms that we saw last night, 36,000 lightning strikes as the system moves northward. all lightning is faded away from the mainland. it will clear the north of the mainland through this lunchtime. 0utbreaks the mainland through this lunchtime. outbreaks of rain though will be across shetland this afternoon. a batch of really heavy showers that approach but even before they arrived we could see a few showers developing here and there, the southern counties of england, wales and later into the midlands. as i said it is windy in the north of scotland and towards the south—west. quite a bit of warm air, we started the day with temperatures in the teens. this afternoon there will be into the mid—to high 20s so it will be a pretty high warm once the sun is on you. this evening and overnight the showers across western half of england and wales really will get going, they will slide through northern ireland, the isle

of man, northern england and later into scotland. some will stay completely dry, north of mainland scotland and parts of east anglia and south—east will see very little rain at all and temperatures here at 15, 16 degrees as they will be for a fairfew of you 15, 16 degrees as they will be for a fair few of you into tomorrow morning. the reason for the showery and variable amounts of rainfall this week is because we have low pressure in charge, it is to the west others, slowly pushing eastwards. as it get close of the tuesday a greater chance of a shower or two may come your way. a few spots will stay completely dry and some areas will be wetter than others. parts of western scotland most prone to showers. in the sunshine it will feel warm again but more cloud around, a chance of rain again and temperatures will be down on today's values. breezy on tuesday and wednesday. notice the isobars becoming fewer in number and spreading out so it means the winds will become a little bit light as we head towards the end of the week but still with some showers around and

after a warm start to the week it will feel a bit cooler to seek the week out. goodbye for now.
