live from our studio in singapore... this is bbc news. it's newsday. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. it's six in the morning in singapore and 11pm in london, where liz truss, who has been elected leader of the conservative party, is preparing to become britain's next prime minister. borisjohnson is due to announce his resignation to the queen later on tuesday, and the monarch will then invite ms truss to form a government. our first report is from our political editor, chris mason. liz truss arrived as foreign secretary and would leave as tomorrow's prime minister.

the final act of the contest to replace borisjohnson the outcome. inside, an expectant crowd after a long campaign awaits the candidates. rishi sunak and liz truss. and then, the result... i give notice that liz truss is elected as the leader. of the conservative and unionist party _ the words to follow her winning, in the hands of her husband, "a clear victory but not a landslide." thank you for putting your faith in me to lead our great conservative party, the greatest political party on earth. i will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. i will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long—term issues we have on energy supply. and she concluded with the mantra her campaign began with. we will deliver, we will deliver

and we will deliver. and we... and we will deliver a great victory for the conservative party in 202a. thank you. elation, smiles, and success, the crowning moment of her career, liz truss will be prime minister tomorrow, and then confronted with an in—tray from hell. the question for her party, and for the country, will she be up to it? i think she'll be an absolutely fantastic prime minister so, yeah, i'm really, really pleased. bluntly, it's a tough time to become prime minister. we have some huge challenges — we have, still, the covid backlog situation to deal with, the economic shocks that we are going through now, in part because of our stance we've taken on ukraine,

and many other challenges. what do you say to reviewers who say, "the razzmatazz is all fine but when are we going to get that deal on energy?", because people are looking at their bills and they are frightened? and they�* re frightened 7 | looking at her acceptance speech, | she wants to get that done and get it done quickly and she said that on the bbc yesterday. _ so, i think people will see a package of measures i she wants to put forward. what next, though, for the man defeated? the priority has to be to get behind liz truss, our new leader. if you're offered a job in her cabinet, would you accept? that's not what i'm focused on. what i can say, liz truss will have my full support as the new government gets on with delivering four people. full support, but you're not willing to serve her? well, these things, a, they're not for me, but secondly, it's not something i'm thinking about. the main opposition parties at westminster are cheaper,

the liberal democrats revitalised and dominant snp in scotland and labour are ahead in the polls. well, we've heard far more from the latest prime minister about cuts to corporation tax over the summer than we have about the cost of living crisis, the single most important thing that's bearing down on so many millions of households. the uk is in probably the worst and most acute crisis of our lifetimes, so the responsibility on her, because she holds the powers and the resources needed to respond to this crisis, is huge. no plan to deal with l the rising energy bills, the rocketing food bills, the crisis in the nhs, i and that's deeply alarming. the challenges ahead — huge. the challenges now — rather more practical. things don't get any bigger westminster than when the removal vans turn up in downing street. tomorrow, it'll be liz truss's turn, swapping her party headquarters for number ten. that was chris mason reporting. i'm joined now by our political correspondent, iain watson.

he has also been looking at this very closely. great to get you on the programme. what a day for you, that you've been having. liz truss now facing possibly the biggest economic challenge of it british leader in over a0 years. what she expected to tackle first? she leader in over 40 years. what she expected to tackle first? she does have multiple _ expected to tackle first? she does have multiple challenges. - expected to tackle first? she does have multiple challenges. she - have multiple challenges. she continues to support ukraine because of the russian invasion, the health service has a huge backlog even before winter. it's notjust the energy crisis or the cost of living, but that is at the very summit of her overflowing in tray and that is theissue her overflowing in tray and that is the issue that she will tackle first. we'll expecting leader potentially a price freeze in energy prices. we don't know for how long or exactly if everyone will benefit from this, and we don't know exactly how it will be funded. we know

discussions have been going on with energy companies. whether people would pay the money back and higher than expected bills further down the line or whether there would be a massive government intervention. all this is in play, but it's moving towards a substantial intervention towards a substantial intervention to try to at least keep these high energy prices from going even higher this winter. so i think that's going to be one of her first priorities, and it is on that i think her administration may be judged. and it is on that i think her administration may bejudged. the second thing that is hugely important is notjust policies, but the personalities of the people surrounding her at the top table. they are likely to get under way tomorrow. there is some concern from some of the party about how broad—based that top team will be. will she reach out to others? the

top jobs looks like they will go to top jobs looks like they will go to top of her —— some of her halides. the bigger challenge that she's faking is to set out the broader vision —— her allies —— she's facing. but she said she's going to concentrate on delivering. just how much detail we are going to get between now and then in 202a. much detail we are going to get between now and then in 2024. that's for her to tackle, _ between now and then in 2024. that's for her to tackle, as _ between now and then in 2024. that's for her to tackle, as you _ between now and then in 2024. that's for her to tackle, as you pointed - for her to tackle, as you pointed out. if we take a step back, what you think the victory says about the future of the tory party, just future of the tory party, j'ust briefly? i future of the tory party, 'ust briefl ? ~ , ., briefly? i think it says that the victory was — briefly? i think it says that the victory was narrow _ briefly? i think it says that the victory was narrow more -- i briefly? i think it says that the i victory was narrow more -- more victory was narrow more —— more narrow victory was narrow more —— more narrow than the polls suggested. a3% back to rishi sunak, so it wasn't overwhelming. she does have some work to do to unite a divided party.

but also, the majority did like her idea of breaking the orthodox and looking at tax cuts, concentrating on economic growth. you might see a different emphasis than we saw under borisjohnson, but that different emphasis than we saw under boris johnson, but that approach different emphasis than we saw under borisjohnson, but that approach is as boris johnson, but that approach is as yet untested.— as yet untested. iain, great to get ou on as yet untested. iain, great to get you on the — as yet untested. iain, great to get you on the programme. _ as yet untested. iain, great to get you on the programme. thanks i as yet untested. iain, great to getj you on the programme. thanks so as yet untested. iain, great to get i you on the programme. thanks so much forjoining us on newsday. in other stories today, south korea is bracing itself for typhoon hinnamnor, the strongest global storm so far this year. it has made landfall south west of the port city of busan early on tuesday. chris fawkes from the bbc�*s weather centre has more on what to expect. this looks likely to be the strongest typhoon we've ever seen in south korea. we're going to get damaging gust of wind at around 230 km an hour with huge falls of rain. it's already raining very heavily on those totals will amount to about 1-300 those totals will amount to about 1—300 mm, but

those totals will amount to about 1-300 mm, but 600 those totals will amount to about 1—300 mm, but 600 over mountains. typhoon hinnamnor will bring its winds into russia's far east. we've already seen fairly widespread disruption. schools have closed ahead of this typhoon. these damaging winds could cause problems, the rain likely to the two flooding inland sites. the monsoon winds are going to strengthen across south east asia, which means we could see some prodding rain in thailand, cambodia and vietnam over the next few days. for more on this, i'm joined now byjung—hoon kim, who's an assistant professor at the school of earth and environmental sciences at seoul national university. great to get you on the programme, professor. chris talked us through the size and scale of this, butjust give us a sense now of how much damage is caused so far and what to

very well to promote, and also, there are several other people who give a lot of warnings before it is hitting so that you don't have a lot of damage at the moment. however, the intensity and the magnitude of the intensity and the magnitude of the rainfall is one of the most violent typhoons that is hitting right now in the southeast coast of south korea. right now in the southeast coast of south korea-— south korea. that was assistant rofessor south korea. that was assistant professor at _ south korea. that was assistant professor at the i south korea. that was assistant professor at the school i south korea. that was assistant professor at the school of i south korea. that was assistant professor at the school of earth | south korea. that was assistant i professor at the school of earth and environmental sciences at seoul national university. thank you so much. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme — canadian police lay murder charges against two men who remain on the run, after ten people were stabbed to death in saskatchewan.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm karisha vaswani in singapore. our main story this hour... liz truss wins the race to become britain's next prime minister, promising to tackle the issues that matter. let's get more now on that story. 0ur correspondents have been gathering reaction from around the world to liz truss beating rishi sunak to become britain's third female prime minister. in a moment, we'll hearfrom moscow and brussels, but first, here's stephen mcdonell in beijing. in terms of the government in beijing, really, idon't think in terms of the government in beijing, really, i don't think it mattered to them so much which one of these people took the reins. they

both said they're going to get tough on china. beijing might sayjoin the queuein on china. beijing might sayjoin the queue in terms of western politicians saying they're going to get tough on china. for beijing, what they'll be watching is what goes on beyond the rhetoric, how does this new government respond. and trade, for example, it will go ahead. of course, the uk is going to keep trading with china. where you have these possible areas of tension are, for example, is the truss administration going to be sending the royal navy through the south china sea back as part of these exercises alongside the united states, or even australia, as part of this new aukus arrangement? these are the big foreign policy areas where there could be tension. thea;r where there could be tension. they certainly won't _

where there could be tension. they certainly won't be i where there could be tension. tie: certainly won't be cracking out where there could be tension. tieg certainly won't be cracking out the champagne in the kremlin. there is no secret that the current russian leadership does not like liz truss. he does not like her very public strong support for ukraine, it doesn't like her very public and strong opposition to the kremlin, the fact that she's publicly called for vladimir putin to be defeated in ukraine. and it didn't like her when she came to moscow back in february as british foreign secretary, when she came from meeting with serge live her the russian foreign minister, to say that meeting was frosty is a bit of an understatement. i watch the press conference afterwards, and it felt as if there was a cold war going on between these two politicians. they clearly didn't like one another, and sergey lavrov said the conversation we have was like a deaf person talking to no one who is mute. we were listening to each other, but we couldn't hear one another. i think

that will sum up the relationship between russia and the uk now that liz truss is in charge. the between russia and the uk now that liz truss is in charge.— liz truss is in charge. the german chancellor — liz truss is in charge. the german chancellor has _ liz truss is in charge. the german chancellor has said i liz truss is in charge. the german | chancellor has said congratulations on your— chancellor has said congratulations on your new role, liz truss, i'm looking — on your new role, liz truss, i'm looking forward to our cooperation. the uk _ looking forward to our cooperation. the uk and — looking forward to our cooperation. the uk and germany will continue to work closely together as partners in france, _ work closely together as partners in france, so — work closely together as partners in france, so the german chancellor, that france, so the german chancellor, thal will— france, so the german chancellor, that will he — france, so the german chancellor, that will be a key partnership. the president— that will be a key partnership. the president of the european parliament was quick— president of the european parliament was quick out of the blocks as well, saying _ was quick out of the blocks as well, saying democracies must remain united _ saying democracies must remain united in— saying democracies must remain united in standing against aggression. 0f united in standing against aggression. of course, one of the major— aggression. of course, one of the major pieces of context around this is the _ major pieces of context around this is the ongoing war in ukraine and cooperation between the west, including — cooperation between the west, including between the eu and the uk, but of— including between the eu and the uk, but of course, that relationship has been _ but of course, that relationship has been extremely strained in recent times— been extremely strained in recent times because of post—brexit tensions _ times because of post—brexit tensions. liz truss is very much involved — tensions. liz truss is very much involved in— tensions. liz truss is very much involved in those tensions. she stands — involved in those tensions. she stands down as the foreign secretary now she _ stands down as the foreign secretary now she becomes the new uk prime

here's assistant commissioner rhonda blackmore speaking a little while ago. at 11:30am, a deceased male was located on the james smith cree nation. at 1:17pm today, it was confirmed by forensic investigators in the section that the deceased is damien sanderson. his body was located outdoors in a heavily grassed area in proximity to a house that was being examined. we can confirm he has visible injuries. these injuries are not believed to be self—inflicted at this point. visiting the province, the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, decried mass violence, which he said has become "all too commonplace". yesterday's attacks in saskatchewan are shocking and heartbreaking. my thoughts _ are shocking and heartbreaking. my thoughts and the thoughts of all canadians are with those who've lost loved _ canadians are with those who've lost loved ones _ canadians are with those who've lost loved ones and with those who are

the israeli army has concluded there is a high probability a renowned palestinianjournalist was mistakenly killed by one of its soldiers. shireen abu akleh was shot in the head during an israeli raid in the occupied west bank in may. kenya's outgoing president, uhuru kenyatta, has said he will hand over power to the next administration, as required by the country's constitution. this comes after the supreme court upheld the president—elect william ruto's election win, rejecting a petition by the opposition. china has approved the world's first inhaled covid vaccine for emergency use as a booster. it has been made by cansino and has similar ingredients to its injected vaccine. other researchers, including teams in the uk and the us, have been investigating nasal spray vaccines. to the us now, where, in a rare legal victory for donald trump, a court has ordered furtherjudicial

oversight of materials taken from his florida home during an fbi search last month. an official called a special master will carry out a review of the documents seized by agents. 0ur north america correspondent, gary 0'donoghue, explains why this development matters. well, if you bear in mind that the former president has really faced a series of legal humiliations, not just the searching of his property at the beginning of august, but the peanuts, boxes being carried off, has belonging being foster over the media —— subpoenas — this is at least some kind of stay for him. there will be a judge appointed by the 9th of september or around the 9th of september who will get to review all the materials taken by the fbi from his home to see if any of them fall into the categories of his own belongings. clearly, from the list, some of them do. articles

of clothing, for example. but also whether any are covered by what's called either executive privilege or attorney client privilege. that means for the time being, the department ofjustice's investigation into the removal of those documents from the white house has to stop, so they won't be able to continue investigating until this review has taken place. however, and it's a big however, because of the nature of some of the material, the intelligence services overseen by the office for national intelligence here, they will be able to continue an assessment of whether or not any damage has been done to national security. that was gary 0'donoghue reporting on that story for us. for the first time since moving to california more than two years ago, the duchess of sussex has spoken at a public event in manchester in the uk. meghan markle gave a speech at the one young world summit,

which brings together young leaders from 190 countries around the world. it was meghan's first speech since quitting her role as a senior working royal. earlier on monday, prince harry and meghan markle were pictured entering london euston's train station as they made their way to manchester. you can see the two of them there on screen, certainly a very important moment for the two of them indeed. as megan mark and made that speech. the first public speech since she made that decision. for now, that takes us to the end of this hour of newsday. thanks so much forjoining us. there's lots more on the bbc website about all of the top stories that we've had for you today. an

update on what's happened in the uk leadership race, but till next time, i'll see you then. thanks so much forjoining us. hello there. so far, the weather for the month of september has been one of contrast. eastern england has stayed dry and quite warm. out to the west, it's been pretty wet at times, and partly responsible is this area of low pressure sitting out in the atlantic. you can see the cloud spiralling in an anticlockwise direction. that's the weather fronts, and they've been kicking in and producing some sharp, thundery downpours. this has been the last few hours, moving into cornwall, stretching up across wales, pushing into the midlands. now, they're continuing to drift their way steadily northwards, and so they will be sitting towards southern scotland over the next few hours. behind it, slightly quieter. a little bit of patchy mist and fog. a very warm start to tuesday morning, with temperatures widely into mid—teens. still a relatively quiet start. there will be some mild weather

through northern ireland and parts of england and wales first thing, those showers drifting their way northwards through scotland before further sharp showers develop once again into the southwest. blustery winds will drive them further inland. again, not everywhere will see the showers — northern ireland, parts of eastern england escaping them. it will be a little bit fresher generally, but top temperatures still, with the best of the sunshine, at around 2a celsius. that's 75 fahrenheit. now, as we move into wednesday, the area of low pressure is going to just push its way a little bit further eastwards. that means that all of us are at greater risk of seeing more frequent showers, particularly areas where we've not seen too manyjust recently. there will be some more persistent rain easing away from northern scotland, and then the showers will develop as we go through the day. very hit—and—miss, but they will rattle through at quite a pace, some of them still quite hefty. top temperatures of around 15—21 degrees. once again, we might see 23 degrees into east anglia.

now, as we move towards the end of the week, that low pressure still has yet to clear, and then we could potentially see this little nose of high pressure building for a time. and what that basically means is out to the east, with the low clearing away, it's going to stay quite showery towards the end of the working week and temperatures perhaps into the low 20s. but the further west, yes, we're likely to start off with showers on thursday, but hopefully something a little bit drier and brighter and, fingers crossed, a little quieter.

this is bbc news, the headlines: liz truss has been confirmed as the successor to borisjohnson as uk prime minister. she won the backing of her conservative party members, beating former finance minister rishi sunak with 57% of the vote. former us president donald trump has won a rare legal victory, after a judge granted his demand for independent oversight of material taken from his florida home during last month's fbi search. south korea has gone on high alert for what could be the most powerful storm ever to hit the country.
