1:04 am
now, where members of the conservative party have elected liz truss as the new leader replacing borisjohnson in that role and as prime minister. mrjohnson is due to announce his resignation to the queen later on tuesday, and the monarch will then invite ms truss to form a government. here's 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 boris johnson the outcome. inside, an expectant crowd after a long campaign awaits the candidates. rishi sunak and liz truss. applause 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
1:05 am
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, 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 political career, liz truss will be prime minister tomorrow, and then confronted with an in—tray from hell.
1:06 am
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're going through now, in part because of our stance we've taken on ukraine, and many other challenges. "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're frightened? 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 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. she will have my full support as the new conservative government gets on for
1:07 am
delivering for the british people. 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 also its 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 poles. 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 the rising energy bills, the rocketing - food bills, the crisis- in the nhs, and that's deeply
1:08 am
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 10. chris mason, bbc news. our political correspondent ian watson gave us his assessment of the challenges that lie ahead for the new prime minister. she does have multiple challenges, actually, of course the continued support to ukraine because of the russian invasion, the health service has got a huge backlog even before the winter pressures, so it is notjust energy prices, notjust it is notjust energy prices, not just the cost of it is notjust energy prices, notjust the cost of living. at that, if you like, is at the very summit of her overflowing entry, —— entry. that is what
1:09 am
you will tackle first. potentially a price freeze in energy prices. we don't know for how long, we don't know exactly if everyone will benefit from this. and we don't know exactly how it will be funded. we know discussions will be going on with the energy companies about whether, perhaps, it could be some kind of loans fun, whether people will pay the money back in higher than expected bills further down the line or whether there will be a massive government intervention. all these things are in play, but nonetheless it is moving towards a substantial intervention to try to at least keep these high energy prices from going even higher this winter. so i think this will be one of herfirst winter. so i think this will be one of her first priorities. and it is on that i think i hole administration may be judged. the second thing, though, that is hugely important, is notjust the policies by the personalities, the people who will be surrounding her at the top table, cabinetappointments. table, cabinet appointments. and table, cabinetappointments. and they are likely to get
1:10 am
under way tomorrow evening. it is some concern from some of the party about how broad—based that top team will be, will it simply be her allies, the people involved in her campaign, orwillshe people involved in her campaign, or will she reach out to others? certainly, the top jobs to look as though they will go to close allies. there may be some criticism there. and the bigger challenge she is facing is then to set out a broader vision. facing is then to set out a broadervision. she facing is then to set out a broader vision. she has spoken, if you like, very much painted in primary colours during the campaign, but she says she is going to concentrate on delivery. sojust how going to concentrate on delivery. so just how much detail we're going to get on which intensity between now and next —— expected date of the next —— expected date of the next election in 202a? next -- expected date of the next election in 2024?- next -- expected date of the next election in 2024? that is for her to _ next election in 2024? that is for her to tackle, _ next election in 2024? that is for her to tackle, as _ next election in 2024? that is for her to tackle, as you - for her to tackle, as you pointed out. if we take a step back here, what do you think the victory says about the future of the tory party, just briefly, if you don't mind? briefly i think it says that the victory was narrower than
1:11 am
adjusted. 43% voted for rishi sunak because of it was not an overwhelming victory. she does have some work to do to unite a divided party. whether she can do that on or before the next election will be crucial. but, also, the majority did like her idea of breaking with the orthodoxy, looking at tax cuts, concentrating on economic growth. so we may see a different emphasis in the second half of this government that we saw under boris johnson. but that approaches, yet, untested. iain watson speaking to be a little earlier about the situation in the uk and the reaction there on the liz truss victory. and a little later on we will have more on that story looking at the international reaction looking at the uk leadership race. do stay with us for that. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: the duke and duchess of sussex are back in the uk, where meghan has addressed

a leadership summit for young people. george w bush: freedom itself was attacked this morning, - and freedom will be defended. the united states will hunt down and punish those responsible. bishop tutu now becomes spiritual leader of 100,000 anglicans here, of the blacks in soweto township, as well as the whites in their rich suburbs. we say to you today- in a loud and a clear voice, "enough of blood and tears. enough!" _ translation: the difficult | decision we reached together was one that required great and exceptional courage. it's an exodus of up to 60,000 people caused by the uneven pace of political change
1:13 am
in eastern europe. lam free! this is newsday on the bbc. i'm karishma vaswani in singapore. our headlines: canadian police say one of the two men charged in connection with a string of fatal stabbings has been found dead. liz truss has won the race to be the new leader of britain's conservative party. she will be installed as prime minister on tuesday. let's get more now on that story. our 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 hear from moscow and brussels, but first here's stephen mcdonell in beijing.
1:14 am
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. well, 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's 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 as part of these navigation exercises alongside the united states, or even australia, as part of this new aukus arrangement?
1:15 am
what will britain do in terms of taiwan? these are the big foreign policy areas where there could be tension. well, they certainly won't be cracking out the champagne in the kremlin at the news that liz truss is the new prime minister. there's no secret really that the current russian leadership does not like liz truss. it 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 sergei lavrov, the russian foreign minister. to say that meeting was frosty is a bit of an understatement. i watched the press conference afterwards, and it felt as if there was a cold
1:16 am
war going on between these two politicians. they clearly didn't like one another, and sergei lavrov said, "the conversation we had was like a deaf person talking "to someone 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 number ten. the german chancellor has said, "congratulations "on your new role, liz truss, i'm looking forward "to our cooperation." i look forward to our cooperation in these challenging times. the uk and germany will continue to work closely together as partners in france, says the german chancellor, that will be a key partnership. the president of the european parliament was quick out of the blocks as well, saying democracies must remain united in standing against autocracy and aggression. of course, one of the major pieces of context around this
1:17 am
is the ongoing war in ukraine and cooperation between the west, including between the eu and the uk, but of course, that relationship has been extremely strained in recent times because of post—brexit tensions. liz truss is very much involved in those tensions. she stands down as the foreign secretary now as she becomes the new uk prime minister, but she was the architect of a very controversial piece of legislation to override parts of a post—brexit treaty that dictated trading agreements for northern ireland. so, in many ways here, they don't really expect a major change in approach from the uk government on that ongoing issue. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. prime minister shehbaz sharif has been visiting the hardest—hit sindh province of pakistan. the aerial view from the prime minister's plane showed vast areas covered in floodwater. at least 1,000 300 people have been killed — according to the country's national disaster management agency. the floods have followed record—breaking summer temperatures.
1:18 am
the israeli army has concluded there is a high probability a renowned palestinian journalist 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. her family say israel has refused to take responsibility for what they called her murder. a russianjournalist has been found guilty of treason and sentenced to 22 years in a high security prison.ivan safronov was accused of passing military secrets to foreign agents. he denied the charges — and earlier rejected a plea bargain.safronov was a well—respected defence correspondent and his supporters believe he's been punished for his reporting on russian arms deals. 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
1:19 am
to its injected vaccine. other researchers, including teams in the uk and the us, have been investigating nasal spray vaccines. 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 with ever seen — strongest typhoon with ever seen in _ strongest typhoon with ever seen in south korea. we are going — seen in south korea. we are going to _ seen in south korea. we are going to get this looks likely to be the strongest typhoon we've ever seen in south korea. we're going to get damaging gusts of wind at around 230 km an hour with huge
1:20 am
falls of rain. it's already raining very heavily on those totals will amount to about 100—300 mm, but 600 over mountains. quite quickly as we had through tuesday into wednesday. typhoon hinnamnor will then bring its winds into russia's far east. we've already seen fairly widespread disruption. schools have closed ahead of the arrival of this typhoon. a number of flights have been cancelled. but these damaging winds could cause problems, the rain likely to trigger flooding across 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. 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. our north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue explains why this development matters. well, if you bear in mind that the former president has really faced a series of legal humiliations, notjust the searching of his property at the beginning of august, but subpoenas, boxes being carried off,
1:21 am
his belongings being plastered all over the media, this is at least some kind of stay for him. this means there will be a judge appointed by or around ninth 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 criminal 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, top secret documents, the intelligence services
1:22 am
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. 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. judith moritz reports. as crowds go, this one was well warmed up before the headline act arrived. please welcome meghan and harry... if the duke and duchess of sussex were hoping for a positive reception, they got it. a cheering and applause. young delegates from more than 200 countries watched meghan make herfirst speech in the uk since the couple moved to california.
1:23 am
well, good evening, everyone. it is...very nice to be back in the uk. she talked about how parenthood has changed her. i was now married and i was now a mom. seeing the global community through the eyes of my child, and i then asked, what is this world he would come to adopt and what can we do, what can i do to make it better? i'm thrilled that my husband is able to join me this time... applause. ..to be able to see and witness firsthand my respect for this incredible organisation, for all it provides and accomplishes. this event has been carefully chosen by the duchess of sussex. she has a long connection with the organisation behind it, but it also means she is speaking to an international rather than solely a british audience. security around the event
1:24 am
was arranged privately. prince harry is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with the home office about his downgrading of his police protection. the couple did get up close and personal with a few of those on stage, including halima aden, a somali american model who was born in a refugee camp. i look up to her as a young black woman myself. i feel she she is paving the way for a lot of young women. and you've got a selfie. i got a selfie, i'm happy. she approached me, so i was like, i've got to shoot my shot. how often do you get to meet prince harry and meghan markle? so i was having a little fun girl moment. i got my selfie in and i'm so happy. the sussexes hopeful similarly warm reception for the rest of the trip. for now, though, the selfie tells the story — smiles all round. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. lovely moment caught on camera. and finally a father and son

team from germany have won the world's oldest gas balloon race. wilhelm and benjamin eimers set off on friday from st gallen in switzerland, and were airborne for two days, 12 hours and 50 seconds. they flew almost 1,600km in a straight line, along the border between germany and austria, travelling through hungary, serbia, romania, and bulgaria. they are the first father and son team to win the race. you have been watching newsday. stay with us. just a reminder of the breaking news from canada — canadian police say damien sanderson, one of the suspects in a mass stabbing in the saskatchewan province, has been found dead. a senior police official said the other suspect, damien's brother myles, is still at large, but is believed to be injured. the two had been charged with murdering ten people and wounding at least 18 others in a stabbing spree that devastated an indigenous community on sunday. the motive for the attack is still unknown. visiting the province earlier, the canadian prime minister justin trudeau said such violence had no place in the country.
1:26 am
a senior police official said the other suspect, damien's brother myles, is still at large, but is believed to be injured. damien's brother myles, is still at large, but is believed to be injured. that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. 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
1:27 am
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 dry 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 24 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 many just recently. there'll 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,
1:28 am
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.
