hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source live from downing street where in the past few hours liz truss arrived for the first time as the uk's new prime minister. she's the third woman to hold the office of prime minister, and she faces a number of issues at home and abroad. i am confident that together, we can ride out the storm, we can rebuild our economy, and we can become the modern brilliant britain that i know we can be. earlier, liz truss accepted the queen's invitation to form a government at a meeting in balmoral in aberdeenshire.

her predecessor, borisjohnson, left downing street earlier this morning. we have some in—depth analysis of the claims he made in his final speech later in the programme. in that final address at the downing street podium, he also urged the conservative party to unite behind his successor. it's time for politics to be over, folks. it's time for us all to get behind liz truss and her team, and her programme, and deliver for the people of this country. and behind me, here on downing street, we've seen ministers we see brandon lewis going into number ten there. we heard boris johnson earlier, calling for conservatives to get behind liz truss and her team. and we're learning more about what her team is as the evening goes on because liz truss is in the process of appointing cabinet, that's why we're

seeing a range of conservatives going in through the door and bit by bit, we are learning who liz truss�*s top will be. —— top team will be. we are getting details all the time of liz truss�*s team. therese coffey has been appointed deputy prime minister, we will get you more on that. liz truss her self was invited to form a government by the queen and balmoral earlier, becoming the fourth consecutive prime minister in the last six months, and the third female promised or the uk has had. we will be getting details on her new cabinet through the next two hours and bring you that as soon as we hear from

hours and bring you that as soon as we hearfrom number ten. but let's start with a speech given at 7:30am this morning with borisjohnson leaving downing street for the last time. the torch will finally be passed to a new conservative leader. the baton will be handed over in what has unexpectedly turned out to be a relay race — they changed the rules halfway through, but never mind that now. and through that lacquered, black door, a new prime minister will shortly go to meet a fantastic group of public servants. the people who got brexit done, the people who delivered to the fax system vaccine roll—out in europe — and never forget, 70% of the entire population got a dose within six months faster than any comparable country. — — fastest —— fastest vaccine roll—out. that is government for you, that's this conservative government. cheering more details on therese coffey's

appointment as deputy promised her, she is also the health secretary. she's a close ally of liz truss but we were unsure what role should be given. it like she'll be given to. given two. here in the uk, its tradition that the queen invites the new prime minister to form a government. here's liz truss — arriving for that meeting. she's the 15th prime minister to be appointed by queen elizabeth. and this is the moment she met with the queen. in a break with tradition, it took place 400 miles from london at the royal residence of balmoral, in aberdeenshire, scotland, where the queen is staying. nicholas witchel was there. she's the 15th prime minister of her reign, and the fifth prime minister to have been born after queen elizabeth came to the throne — the third, of course, female prime minister here in the united kingdom. and the queen, well, you can see that she's 96, clearly there are concerns

about her health — but really, what 96—year—old could there be about whom there wouldn't be health concerns? and i think the important thing to say is, that i understand it, there's been no significant change in her health in recent weeks or months. we've become used to these mobility issues which have prevented her from attending some of the jubilee celebrations at the beginning ofjune, and they have again intervened and prevented her going to london. but nonetheless, the politicians came to her, and the united kingdom has a new prime minister. nicholas witchel at balmoral. the rain was coming down there and here as well. liz truss was scheduled to arrive after 4pm and then the heavens opened up, all the media and camera crews who gathered to see this put up their umbrellas, as well as liz truss�*s supporters who

gathered outside number ten down the st, and near to the gate as well, another crowd down there getting ready to cheer her in. at the heavens opened up, we were unsure whether the speech would go ahead, even the podium had to be put somewhere safe. but the rain paused, the podium came back out, and liz truss gave her first speech as prime minister. what makes the united kingdom great is our fundamental belief in freedom, in enterprise, and in fair play. our people have shown grit, courage and determination time and time again. we now face severe global headwinds caused by russia's appalling war in ukraine and the aftermath of covid. now is the time to tackle the issues that are holding britain back. we need to build roads, homes and broadband faster. we need more investment and greatjobs in every town and city across our country. we need to reduce the burden on families and help

people get on in life. i know that we have what it takes to tackle those challenges. of course, it won't be easy, but we can do it. we will transform britain into an aspiration nation, with high—paying jobs, safe streets and where everyone everywhere has the opportunities they deserve. i will take action this day and action every day to make it happen. united with our allies, we will stand up for freedom and democracy around the world, recognising that we can't have security at home without having security abroad. liz truss speaking earlier. let's look at the first appointment to liz truss�*s new cabinet. therese coffey has been appointed secretary of state for health and social care.

she will also be liz truss�*s deputy prime minister. helping me through the next hour is sonya soeda and adam payne. we are not at all surprised to see this appointment at all, are we? surprised to see this appointment at all. are we?— all, are we? therese coffey has backed liz _ all, are we? therese coffey has backed liz truss _ all, are we? therese coffey has backed liz truss from _ all, are we? therese coffey has backed liz truss from the - all, are we? therese coffey has - backed liz truss from the beginning, health secretary is clearly an importantjob, the three priorities that liz truss spoke about in her first speech as prime minister outside downing street, the nhs and tackling the crisis was one of them. so i don't think it's a surprise at all to see her made health secretary. deputy prime minister may not be something people are expecting, but how great to see a female minister and debbie prime minister. the female minister and debbie prime minister. . ., , . minister. the man we are expecting to be - sir, — minister. the man we are expecting to be - sir, would _ minister. the man we are expecting to be - sir, would you _ minister. the man we are expecting to be - sir, would you come - minister. the man we are expecting to be - sir, would you come speakl minister. the man we are expecting. to be - sir, would you come speak to to be — sir, would you come speak to the bbc please? we think that is the man who will be the next chancellor of the exchequer. it’s man who will be the next chancellor of the exchequer.— of the exchequer. it's been a safe bet for a few _

against you, like rishi sunak. and of the things we been hearing this afternoon, it does not sound like that's the approach she's going for. she's very firmly sticking to her allies around the table. there may be some advantages to that in the sense that perhaps there will be more unity in the cabinet and shall feel like she's rewarding those people who backed her — but the slightly risky thing about it is that you'll have people on the backbenchers who feel they've been hard done by, lost theirjob because they backed the wrong candidate, and those people may well be put on the back benches in the weeks and months to come. 1 . ~ back benches in the weeks and months to come. 1, . ~ , ., back benches in the weeks and months tocome. , . �* to come. backing up what you're sa inc... to come. backing up what you're saying- -- and — to come. backing up what you're saying... and other _ to come. backing up what you're saying... and other senior - saying... and other senior conservative, ben wallace, coming in. it will be very interesting to see — we thought there was some speculation when borisjohnson said he was stepping out that benjohnson would be in there, but that's not to be. ~ �* ., , would be in there, but that's not to be. ., ., . , be. when boris johnson announced his resignation. — be. when boris johnson announced his resignation, ben _ be. when boris johnson announced his resignation, ben wallace- _ be. when boris johnson announced his resignation, ben wallace- i _

thatcherite and her economics, she's reaganite, she thinks growth comes from tax cuts, and very expensive tax cuts even at a point when the countries in the difficult circumstance it's in. i think she's picked kwasi kwarteng because he is aligned with her politically and she doesn't want to find herself in the position many thought borisjohnson did where you got a chancellor and pray minister who are quite aligned on economics, then you're tugging at each other in the same way some people think we had with tony blair and gordon brown. brute people think we had with tony blair and gordon brown.— and gordon brown. we will see the d namic and gordon brown. we will see the dynamic between _ and gordon brown. we will see the dynamic between number - and gordon brown. we will see the dynamic between number ten - and gordon brown. we will see the dynamic between number ten and l and gordon brown. we will see the| dynamic between number ten and 11 and gordon brown. we will see the . dynamic between number ten and 11 in dynamic between number ten and ii in the coming weeks and months. let's talk about what liz truss needs to do right away, which is come up with a plan for the energy crisis and the cost—of—living crisis. she's said that they'll want to cut taxes to kick—start the economy, but she got a short—term problem in that she has to an awful lot of money to help people get through this winter. how do you assess her options on doing that it sounds like we will be

working extremely hard, but they are not earning enough money to make ends meet and things will only get worse. �* , . , ., ends meet and things will only get worse. 2 . , ., , worse. there's a few things to pick u . worse. there's a few things to pick u- on worse. there's a few things to pick up on there- _ worse. there's a few things to pick up on there. liz _ worse. there's a few things to pick up on there. liz truss _ worse. there's a few things to pick up on there. liz truss did - worse. there's a few things to pick up on there. liz truss did not - worse. there's a few things to pick up on there. liz truss did not say i up on there. liz truss did not say those were her three priorities in order of priority, she presented them as three equally important matters, the fact that cost—of—living came second should not be over analysed. the second point, the tory party is ungovernable, we'll see how liz truss gets on in the house of commons, she's got a reasonable majority in 75. but let me ask you about what labour would do here. you've outlined your policies — should you notjust wait you've outlined your policies — should you not just wait to you've outlined your policies — should you notjust wait to see if liz truss listens to some of your suggestions and lays out a comprehensive intervention as your suggesting? comprehensive intervention as your su~estin~? ., �* comprehensive intervention as your su: arestin? ., �* ., comprehensive intervention as your suggesting?— comprehensive intervention as your su: arestin? ., �* ., ., suggesting? you've got it the wrong wa round, suggesting? you've got it the wrong way round. the _ suggesting? you've got it the wrong way round, the labour _ suggesting? you've got it the wrong way round, the labour party - suggesting? you've got it the wrong way round, the labour party has - suggesting? you've got it the wrong i way round, the labour party has been laying out its policies, leading in the conservative party have been following. we were the ones who

announce the idea of a windfall tax on energy producers in the north sea, five months later the government announced it. we came out with the package on the cost—of—living, and of course the government are now being judged against our measures. crucially we got our package, which was fully costed, out before the energy price cap was raised by ofgem. if the government had done the same, then people would already be having their bills, which have gone through the roof. so the government has been very late in doing this. secondly, liz truss was not prime minister... but mr kyle, you're criticising the tories — apologies for interrupting, you're criticising repeatedly the tories are being late. labour wanted borisjohnson to resign, you called for it repeatedly. he did that in earlyjuly — if you ask the prime minister to resign, you're surely aware it would take the party that he leads sometimes to replace him. that was a process you were calling for. you can't then criticise the

conservatives for carrying out that process in selecting their new leader. this process in selecting their new leader. �* , �* process in selecting their new leader. a �* ., ,, ., leader. as you'll have known, the labour party _ leader. as you'll have known, the labour party called _ leader. as you'll have known, the labour party called a _ leader. as you'll have known, the labour party called a vote - leader. as you'll have known, the labour party called a vote of - labour party called a vote of confidence in borisjohnson's confidence in boris johnson's decision confidence in borisjohnson's decision to stay for the whole of summer. but we wanted was a crisp hand over, there's no reason why the governing party, the tories, couldn't have expedited their leadership race, and had it done within a couple weeks, they could've had it done very quickly before the summer recess, so the new leader — and everyone knew it would be liz truss because the polls were so decisive — the new government, or the continuation government with liz truss could have been working over summer. as it was, we had a government that did no work over the summer, the conservative party has fundamentally let down our country, the labour party under keir starmer have been working all summer, we've been leading and the conservatives have been following. 50 been leading and the conservatives have been following.— have been following. so you've got our have been following. so you've got your policies _ have been following. so you've got your policies ready _ have been following. so you've got your policies ready to _ have been following. so you've got your policies ready to go, - have been following. so you've got your policies ready to go, liz - have been following. so you've got your policies ready to go, liz trussj your policies ready to go, liz truss is only been promised herfor a

minister. i work for a centreleft newspaper, it won't come as a surprise to viewers that i don't share their politics. but it it's something when the jobs are going to such a diverse group of people. i notice you have an umbrella and i don't, groggily doing something right. laughter thank you both very much indeed. as we've spoken about many times on this programme — the cost of living crisis and rising energy costs is arguably the most important issue facing the new prime minister. the bbc understands that the uk government is planning an energy relief package that would benefit both individuals and businesses. energy bills for the average household are due to jump 80% from october to over £3,500 a year — that's roughly $4,000 us a year. forgive me for looking over, there's the new foreign secretary — declining to stop to talk to any of

us, but heading on his way. so we are seeing some of the biggest appointments in liz truss's cabinet exiting number ten and heading towards some of the offices just across there, we can assume they'll maybe get straight into theirjobs because there are many pressing matters such as the energy crisis. it's thought household bills could be capped at around £2,500 — which is almost $3,000 — to help people cope. the overall government support package could cost around £100 billion. here's our business editor simonjack on how much it will cost the government. somewhere around £100—130 billion. but in truth, estimating what the cost of this is very difficult because it depends on the difference between the wholesale market price, which goes up and down like a yo—yo, and the price at which you fixed a business and domestic customers.

—— fixed a business. so it could be less than 100 billion, it could be a lot more than 130 billion. so i think there's guesswork. lets go now to neil shearing. he's a group chief economist at capital economics. thank you very much for your time. can you just first of all help us put this into the context of the pandemic? how do you place this kind of intervention, the scale of it next to the kind of intervention necessary when covid first arrived? i think it's on a similar scale, if not somewhat larger than the scale of the intervention we had during the pandemic. at least when we think about the furlough programme. as we were just hearing from your correspondent, it didn't cost this because it depends on what happens to wholesale gas prices for the duration of the price freeze, and for how long the freeze takes place. but reasonable estimates could be anywhere between £70 — 100 billion.

most important of all, liz truss is the new prime minister. we will continue to bring you the latest from downing street in the coming minutes. hello. scotland seeing some areas of torrential, thundery rain spreading northwards as we see out the rest of tuesday, bringing a risk of disruption. and over the next few days, from the same weather pattern, some warm, sunny spells at times, just as we saw today. but then the clouds gather, and you see some heavy and thundery showers arrive that could come with hail, as well and gusty winds — all because an area of low pressure to the southwest of us, for now, isn't moving very much, spinning around it from south and northeast, these areas of heavy, even torrential rain, these thunderstorms, too. so rocky night in scotland, we'll see another area of downpours moving in from the southwest, to parts of england and wales. it may not be as lively as it's been on recent nights, but you could still be woken by a rumble of thunder. and we'll see temperatures not dipping down very far.

so again, we're talking mainly towards the low—to—mid—teens. it's quite humid out there at the moment. we'll start the day tomorrow with the overnight rain having pushed into parts of northern ireland and northern england, feeding into southwest scotland. still some heavy rain in the far northeast of scotland, moving into 0rkney. and elsewhere, scattered, heavy showers breaking out — but these pleasantly warm, sunny spells in between. windiest down towards the southwest, way closer to the centre of this low pressure system. but anyway, you get the showers, the winds could well be quite gusty at times, and temperatures rising into the high teens and low 20s, perhaps 2a celsius again in east anglia. now on through wednesday evening, we are again dodging these downpours, we're likely to see further batches moving northwards overnight and into thursday. this area of low pressure is in no hurry to move away. this is where it'll be sitting on thursday — for the remainder of the week and into the start of the weekend, it will gradually drift across the uk, and then, begin to clear away. winds will slowly ease, it does increase the potential for low cloud, mist and fog

as the day begins. thursday could well bring some heavy downpours into northern england and scotland, whereas elsewhere, we can see the showers popping up again. though some of these will be hit—and—miss — inevitably, there'll be some places that stay completely dry, miss the showers and have those pleasantly warm, sunny spells. now as i hinted earlier, friday and into the weekend, the area of low pressure will begin to move but won't be completely dry. there'll still be a few showers around, but they will be less intense, less widespread than they've been. it'll feel slightly cooler and fresher.

hello, i'm ros atkins. welcome back to outside source welcome back to downing street. in the past few hours, liz truss arrived for the first time as the uk's new prime minister. she's the third woman to hold the office of prime minister, and she faces a number of issues at home and abroad. i am confident that, together, we can ride out the storm, we can rebuild our economy and we can become the modern brilliant britain that i know we can be. earlier, liz truss accepted the queen's invitation to form a government at a meeting

in balmoral in aberdeenshire. and behind me, in downing street, we are continuing to seek tory mps coming and going as liz truss decides who are cabinet will be. already, some of the most important positions have been filled at —— who her cabinet will be. the most recent appointment is suella braverman, the new home secretary. james cleverley will be the new foreign secretary, kwasi kwarteng the new chancellor of the exchequer and liz truss the new prime minister. four hugely important roles in the new government already sorted. let's speak to anand menon, director of the brexit think—tank uk in a changing europe and professor of politics at kings college. thank you forjoining us. there goes the new home secretary, who just like james cleverley before her and kwasi kwarteng, even though we are

all standing here in the rain, declined to talk to us. suella braverman new home secretary. i apologise, i had to break away, but what are your thoughts as we consider the most senior roles of the cabinet being filled with yellow with these new appointments, it is so far, so predicable. what is going be adjusting the cabinet, when we get down to the lower cabinet appointments, it looks like the new prime minister is trained to bring in all parts of the —— whether the new prime ministers try to bring all parts of the conservative party. it is very divided parliamentary party. when you talk about liz truss loyalists, how would you differentiate them from 0rest johnson loyalists? what is this new group of people in charge of the country believing in that does not

quite sync with what the previous government was driving towards? i think what we heard today points to a slightly different agenda. if you think about what the prime minister said outside downing street today, what was absent was as interesting as was what was there. the phrase levelling up was not mentioned, the phrase climate crisis were not mentioned, so there is a slightly different emphasis there. in terms of defining loyalty, it is as much about who was not attacking her as it was about outright declarations of loyalty towards certain policies that we are only starting to find out about today's. bud that we are only starting to find out about today's.— that we are only starting to find out about today's. and in terms of how the party _ out about today's. and in terms of how the party within _ out about today's. and in terms of how the party within parliament i how the party within parliament works, liz truss has a big majority, 75. much has been made of the divisions within the conservative party. are they particularly relevant to her ability to get things done within the short—term? they might be, because the most profound divisions are over economic

policy, and the one thing that united party was talking about brexit. now, all that anyone cares about is the economic crisis, and it is a spectrum that ranges from your low tax, small state conservative to some of those red walled mps who represent constituencies who are not to believe conservative, who were hoping for a bit more largess from the state, a bit more investment in levelling up projects. there are some gaps to bridge for the new prime minister, yes.— some gaps to bridge for the new prime minister, yes. anand, thank ou ve prime minister, yes. anand, thank you very much _ prime minister, yes. anand, thank you very much indeed. _ you will back with us. while we are focused understandably on this trust, and if you want to watch back her speech, you can do so on the bbc website, let's talk about her predecessor. boris johnson's final speech as prime minister began at 7.30am. this is it, folks. thank you, everybody, for coming out so early this morning. and mrjohnson first turned

to what the day would bring. the baton will be handed over in what has unexpectedly turned out to be a relay race. they change the rules halfway through, but never mind that now! but no rules were changed halfway through. injuly, mrjohnson decided to step down after a record number of ministers and aides resigned in one day. his departure is entirely in line with the rules of the conservative party and the uk parliament. mrjohnson then paid tribute to his staff at number 10. the people who got brexit done, the people who deliver the fastest vaccine roll—out in europe, never forget, 70% of the entire population got a dose within six months, faster than any comparable country. 70% of the uk's eligible population did get a vaccine dose within six months. at that time, it was the fastest vaccine roll—out in europe — though other countries caught up soon after. as for brexit, it did happen under mrjohnson's leadership. but aspects of brexit

are not settled — not least the northern ireland protocol. in may, borisjohnson said of this aspect of the deal that he signed... ..and he blamed how the eu was implementing it. next in his speech, borisjohnson talked of his colleagues' efforts on ukraine. people who organised those prompt, early supplies of weapons to the horrific ukrainian heroic ukrainian armed forces, an action which may have changed the course of the biggest european war for 80 years. the uk has committed £2.3 billion in military assistance. that's more than france or germany. whether the uk changed the course of the war is hard to judge. but ukraine's president has praised borisjohnson's approach, saying... borisjohnson also wanted to talk about policing. we are delivering on those huge

manifesto commitments, making streets safer, neighbourhood crime down 38% in the last three years, 13,790 more police on the street. according to the home office definition of neighbourhood crime, it is down. but as bbc reality check points out, that definition excludes arson and theft from outside the house. both of them are up since borisjohnson became prime minister. as for police numbers, more than 13,000 police officers have been recruited since april 2020. but the conservatives have been in power since 2010. between then and 2019, police numbers fell by more than 20,000. 0verall police numbers have fallen under the conservatives — if not under borisjohnson. and the speech then turned from policing to the health service. we will have 50,000 more nurses by the end of the decade and a0 more hospitals by the end of... 50,000 or seized by the end of this

parliament, i should say! a0 more hospitals the end of the decade! —— 50,000 more nurses. since the 2019 election, over 23,000 new full—time nhs nurses and health visitors have been appointed. more than 26,000 posts remain to be filled. as for those a0 hospitals, bbc reality check concludes the government's description of a "new hospital" includes new wings of existing hospitals, as well as refurbished hospitals. and in 2021, analysis by reality check found that of the a0 projects in england, three were entirely new hospitals. next, borisjohnson talked aboutjobs. unemployment, as i leave office, down to lows not seen since i was about ten years old and bouncing around on a space hopper! mrjohnson was ten in 197a. unemployment is currently 3.8%. that is lower than at any point since 197a. and borisjohnson also wanted to place his 2019 election victory in a historical context.

winning the biggest majority since 1987, the biggest share of the vote since 1979, delivering brexit, delivering our manifesto commitments, including reforming social care, helping people up and down the country. mrjohnson did win the conservatives' biggest majority since 1987. he also won the highest share of the vote in the uk for any party since 1979. as for reforming social care, a planned cap for costs for care during a person's lifetime was brought in. this would in part be funded by a hike in national insurance. but it's not at all clear this will be enough to cover the cost — and we do not know if liz truss will persevere with that policy. as well as this — staffing shortages in social care are rising sharply. borisjohnson had pledged to "fix the crisis in social care once and for all" when he entered downing street in 2019. that has yet to be achieved.

and today, after talking for seven minutes, mrjohnson said his final public words as prime minister. and i will be supporting liz truss and the new government every step of the way. thank you all very much. thank you goodbye. thank you. anand menon on college green. iam sure i am sure you i am sure you were i am sure you were up early watching the speech. what did you make of it? i thought it was a typical boris johnson speech, and style and substance. we had the references to space rockets, the things we are used to, not a sort of political speech, and in terms of substance by do not think anyone would've been surprised to hear borisjohnson come out and try to persuade us he had achieved a lot during this time is prime minister. he is not the kind of person to stand there and hedge about this. he was very, very buoyant, very, very upbeat. as you said, i think there were reasons to doubt things he said, but it was a typicaljohnson speech, to be honest. i typicaljohnson speech, to be

suella braverman is the new home secretary. she replaces priti patel. the new chancellor? 0r or the finance minister, as you would call them outside the uk. kwasi kwarteng. he will be outlining the financial strategy of how liz truss wants to handle this energy crisis and cost—of—living crisis. long—time ally of truss therese coffey has been appointed secretary of state for health and social care. she will also hold the position of deputy prime minister. we saw her walking down downing street half an hour ago. wendy morton has been appointed chief whip and will attend cabinet. she will sit around and most important table in government as liz truss and her allies thrash out these policy challenges. and ben wallace remains defence secretary. as adam was emphasising, under boris

johnson, he was seen as having performed really well under that role, not least in the war in ukraine. he stays as defence secretary. if you have questions on how this ship so, send them our way. —— have any questions on how this is shaping up. stay with us on 0utside source. still to come: we'll have more analysis on the latest cabinet appointments. now, let's turn away from uk politics. the un's nuclear watchdog has called for a demilitarised zone and an end to fighting around the russian—occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in ukraine. inspectors said they'd seen potentially dangerous damage to buildings at the complex. bethany bell has more. well, we've got a lot more detail about what the inspectors actually saw. they've been describing the kind

of damage that they saw at the plant, including the damage to this building that houses fresh nuclear fuel. also, there was damage to a container which contains the radiation monitoring system, and the inspectors also described how they themselves witnessed shelling around the plant. and they said that the shelling must stop because there is the danger of damage to the plant and a nuclear accident arriving from damage to the plant caused by what they call military means. and they also were describing the situation for the ukrainian staff at the plant, which of course is being controlled by the russians, and just how difficult that is for the staff. it said that they were under high stress and pressure and that that situation was not sustainable

and also could lead to the possibility of human error. of course, there aren't so many staff as well at the moment, and also there have been a number of problems, including communications. the report noted that over recent months, there have been frequent interruptions to communications and it said that it was extremely important that reliable communications were established. and it called on all sides to agree to the establishment of what they call this nuclear safety protection zone and for the end of shelling in that area. welcome back to downing street. almost every couple of minutes at the moment, further appointments to liz truss's new cabinet. she became prime minister earlier after boris

johnson formally resigned in balmoral. not long after, liz truss was invited to form the new government. tackling the rising cost of living is the first task facing the new government. many households are already struggling to make ends meet, even before next month's energy price rises. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports now from southend in essex, where residents of one street are hoping the new prime minister can provide some help. money has long been tight in cluny square, a close—knit neighbourhood of mainly young families and pensioners in southend. it's a fantastic community now. everybody pulls together. if someone is giving away a washing machine, everyone will know about it. wendy wilson runs the cafe on behalf of a small charity. rising costs mean she has reluctantly had to raise her prices. if i put a cup of tea up 20p, are they going to be able to afford it?

and the answer is no. i put it up 10p. wendy, who lives with her young son, is struggling personally as well. on saturday, she had to get rid of her two dogs as they were becoming too expensive. it's the worst thing to do, the worst. they are like my children and now the house is so quiet. it's not fair that i've had to do it, but i've got no choice. i've got to look after myself and my son. many of the residents are cohabiting or single parents and the square comes alive in the afternoon when the school day ends. i've increased the amount of money that i give towards my food bill a month, by a quarter, whilst also college lecturer adam weaver has three children, including riley, who started school this week. though both adam and his partner work full—time, they find they are increasingly having to say no to their children. would you say you have money worries at the moment? daily. decisions are made daily about where i save money. in terms of quality—of—life

you know, trips out, day trips, the times we go away in the car, all those kind of things have stopped. i need at least an extra £50 a week to get me by. - dennis's cupboard full of medicine says everything. the 74—year—old has multiple health conditions. money worries don't help. his weekly food bill is up 50%. his monthly energy bills have almost tripled. i switch off as much i as i can with the electric. i have to have my nebuliser and also my machines. i they do burn it up, - but i need that to keep alive. we need more investment and greatjobs... we gathered everyone in the cafe to watch the speech of the prime minister. i think it was absolutely insulting. she's had weeks to plan and come out and put people at ease, and what did we get? the same generic statement that we get from every new prime minister. she hasn't really discussed i anything that we need to do.

i don't hold much hope in her. i think she should have said a bit more to put us all at ease. michael buchanan, bbc news, southend in essex. just in the last few seconds, brandon lewis has walked out of the door of number 10, headed straight down there, same direction as suella braverman, james cleverley and others. damian grammaticas is here with us, along with adam payne. brandon lewis is going to bejust a secretary, but i have not had a chance to talk to you more broadly as this has been playing out over the last hour. what do you make of it? it the last hour. what do you make of it? , , , ., it? it is interesting. it is a shuffle of _ it? it is interesting. it is a shuffle of the _ it? it is interesting. it is a shuffle of the pack, i it? it is interesting. it is a shuffle of the pack, it i it? it is interesting. it is a shuffle of the pack, it is l it? it is interesting. it is a i shuffle of the pack, it is new faces in newjobs, but it in some ways is going to feel different and similar. some of the people we have senior under borisjohnson. 0ne some of the people we have senior under borisjohnson. one of the difference is we will have females in the chiefjobs, so that will give

a different sense to things. you have been talking about the ethnic diversity, that is going to feel different, but these people are going have a really tough task. that effect might last very long. kwasi kwarteng is coming in, this tax—cutting agenda, but equally there is huge pressure to spend money at the minute, there's this pressure to deal with the cost of living and helping people and their bills, there is pressure for the health service, people who want civil servants, health service, people who want civilservants, public health service, people who want civil servants, public sector employees to have pay rises. it sounded like, listening to liz truss, that she is going to spend money and cut taxes. that truss, that she is going to spend money and cut taxes.— money and cut taxes. that is my oint. money and cut taxes. that is my point- kwasi _ money and cut taxes. that is my point. kwasi kwarteng, - money and cut taxes. that is my point. kwasi kwarteng, her- point. kwasi kwarteng, her chancellor, has got a difficultjob. therese coffey, health secretary... therese coffey, health secretary... the three priorities liz truss talked about coming in are dealing

dipping down very far. so again, we're talking mainly towards the low—to—mid—teens. it's quite humid out there at the moment. we'll start the day tomorrow with the overnight rain having pushed into parts of northern ireland and northern england, feeding into southwest scotland. still some heavy rain in the far northeast of scotland, moving into 0rkney. and elsewhere, scattered, heavy showers breaking out — but these pleasantly warm, sunny spells in between. windiest down towards the southwest, way closer to the centre of this but anywhere you get the showers, the winds could well be quite gusty at times, and temperatures rising into the high teens and low 20s, perhaps 24 celsius again in east anglia. now on through wednesday evening, we are again dodging these downpours, we're likely to see further batches moving northwards overnight and into thursday. this area of low pressure is in no hurry to move away. this is where it'll be sitting on thursday — for the remainder of the week and into the start of the weekend, it will gradually drift across the uk, and then, begin to clear away. winds will slowly ease,

it does increase the potential for low cloud, mist and fog as the day begins. thursday could well bring some heavy downpours into northern england and scotland, whereas elsewhere, we can see the showers popping up again. though some of these will be hit—and—miss — inevitably, there'll be some places that stay completely dry, miss the showers and have those pleasantly warm, sunny spells. now as i hinted earlier, friday and into the weekend, the area of low pressure will begin to move but won't be completely dry. there'll still be a few showers around, but they will be less intense, less widespread than they've been. it'll feel slightly cooler and fresher.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source live from downing street where in the past few hours, the where in the past few hours, uk has a new prime il truss. the uk has a new prime minister, liz truss. if few hours ago she arrived and having been to see the queen that she is now the third woman to hold the office of prime minister and she faces a number of issues at home and abroad. i am confident that together we can ride out the storm, we can rebuild our economy and we can become the modern, brilliant britain that i know we can be. before that speech liz truss

accepted the queen's an invitation to form a new government. liz truss is assembling her cabinet, the most important positions have already been field, we will run you through those appointments. welcome to outside source, welcome to a reasonably damp downing street as very much goes on behind me with liz truss assembling her cabinet. she has become the new british prime minister, she is the fourth conservative prime minister in the last six years, she is the third woman to be prime minister of the uk. today the work started in earnest, though it didn't start today. herappointment earnest, though it didn't start today. her appointment of a new cabinet was widely expected and so far it is going according to the

briefings that have been in the media. let's have a look at those appointments. there is not a single white man occupying one of the four largest offices of state. prime minister, chancellor, home secretary, foreign secretary. liz truss is the prime minister, james cleverly will be succeeding her as foreign secretary. of course there is a lot to focus on in that role, not least ukraine and the european union. then we have suella braverman, the new home secretary, she replaces priti patel. 0ne she replaces priti patel. one question will be how many of priti patel�*s policies she will continue with. kwasi kwarteng is in charge of the economy. he needs to help liz truss made her promise of cutting taxes and intervening in the energy crisis. then we have therese coffey, appointed secretary of state for health and social care. she will also be deputy prime minister.

another significant appointment, wendy morton has been appointed chief whip, she will attend cabinet. she is the person in charge of making sure all those conservative mps line up behind the government policies going through parliament. ben wallace remains a defence secretary, the position he held under borisjohnson. he has earned widespread praise for his role in the uk's response to the war in ukraine. 0ne the uk's response to the war in ukraine. one other appointment to mention, brandon lewis walked out of the door of downing street, he is the door of downing street, he is the newjustice secretary. he had been northern ireland secretary under borisjohnson but resigned in july. first of all, let's go right back to the beginning of the day because boris johnson back to the beginning of the day because borisjohnson spoke here in downing street at 7:30am this morning.

through that lacquered black door a new prime minister will shortly go to meet a fantastic group of public servants. the people who got brexit done, the people who delivered the fastest vaccine roll—out in europe and neverforget, 70% of fastest vaccine roll—out in europe and never forget, 70% of the entire population got a dose within six months, faster than any comparable country. that is government for you, thatis country. that is government for you, that is this conservative government. here in the uk, its tradition that the queen invites the new prime minister to form a government. here's liz truss arriving for that meeting. she's the 15th prime minister to be appointed by queen elizabeth. in a break with tradition, it took place 4 miles from london at the royal residence of balmoral in aberdeenshire,

scotland where the queen is staying. 0nce those meetings had happened, liz truss came back to downing street. there was a big throng gathered here, press, supporters as well and once an enormous downpour had finished, she gave herfirst speech as prime minister. lloathed had finished, she gave her first speech as prime minister. what makes the united kingdom _ speech as prime minister. what makes the united kingdom great is our- the united kingdom great is our fundamental belief in freedom in enterprise and in fair play. 0ur enterprise and in fair play. our people have shown great, courage and determination time and time again. we now face a severe global headwinds caused by russia's appalling war in ukraine and the aftermath of covid. now is the time to tackle the issues that are holding britain back. we need to build roads, homes and broadband

faster. we need more investment and greatjobs in every town and city across our country. we need to reduce the burden on families and help people get on in life. i know we have what it takes to tackle those challenges. of course it will not be easy but we can do it. we will transform britain into an aspiration nation. with high—paying jobs, safe streets and where everyone everywhere has the opportunities they deserve. i will take action this day and action every day to make it happen. united with our allies, we will stand up for freedom with our allies, we will stand up forfreedom and with our allies, we will stand up for freedom and democracy around the world. recognising that we cannot have security at home without having security abroad. that have security at home without having security abroad.— security abroad. that was liz truss outlinin: security abroad. that was liz truss outlining her— security abroad. that was liz truss outlining her three _ security abroad. that was liz truss outlining her three priorities, i security abroad. that was liz truss outlining her three priorities, the i outlining her three priorities, the economy, the health service and the

care as other nations but it's not just about the money. it's about the number of doctors and hospital beds we have, we haven't invested in equipment and there is also a big staffing crisis. a lot of hospitals who are working under capacity and terms of stuff because there has not been the workforce planning and that comes on top of the roughest two years that the nhs has ever had with the pandemic. that really had a knock—on impact on waiting lists so the nhs is key along with the economy in voters minds. what liz truss can do will be really important. truss can do will be really important-— truss can do will be really im-ortant. ~ .,, ., important. when i was down the road listenin: to important. when i was down the road listening to her _ important. when i was down the road listening to her earlier, _ important. when i was down the road listening to her earlier, i _ important. when i was down the road listening to her earlier, i was i listening to her earlier, i was thinking, i suppose most people in this country would agree with these general aspirations, strengthen the economy, improve the nhs, addressed the cost of living crisis, but i would be interested in how you will do that. on the nhs, are there any

strong prime minister who has won a big majority, some people might say borisjohnson in 2019, you will have a cabinet that will fall into line because they have that authority from having won a big victory. liz truss doesn't have that. she has won a contest more narrowly. there are some on the backbenches who do not think she is up to the job. will she be able to run her cabinet in the same way? lodgfe be able to run her cabinet in the same way?— be able to run her cabinet in the same wa ? ~ ., ., ., ,, same way? we will have two c. thank ou ve same way? we will have two c. thank you very much- _ same way? we will have two c. thank you very much. you _ same way? we will have two c. thank you very much. you will— same way? we will have two c. thank you very much. you will be _ same way? we will have two c. thank you very much. you will be helping i you very much. you will be helping us through this hour of outside source. let's speak, i thought we would speak to a guest but first, let's take a bit of a breather. more analysis on all of these appointments, we will get more of them in the coming minutes, so don't go anywhere.

just in the last couple of moments nadhim zahawi walked out of the door of downing street, went straight down there. we did invite him to speak to us but he politely declined. we do know he has been appointed to two roles. he will be chancellor of the duchy of lancaster and also minister for and also ministerfor intergovernmental relations and minister for equality. aside from the responsibilities that come with that job, the responsibilities that come with thatjob, it is also interesting in thatjob, it is also interesting in that this was a man who was appointed as chancellor of the exchequer when rishi sunak resigned. he has been a big figure within borisjohnson's cabinet and sought to become leader himself. he will not be returning to the backbenches, he will take on significant

responsibilities. let's talk about the other appointments we have had confirmed. james cleverly will be succeeding liz truss herself in the role of foreign secretary. there is a lot for the foreign secretary to be focused on, not least the war in ukraine. suella braverman is the new home secretary. we knew priti patel would not be continuing. and in number 11, would not be continuing. and in number11, kwasi would not be continuing. and in number 11, kwasi kwarteng will be the man in charge of the economy. he is the chancellor of exchequer or the finance minister. also, long—time ally of liz truss, therese coffey has been appointed secretary of state for health and social care, a hugejob given liz truss has said the nhs is a priority and we know they work on social care that the tories began has not been completed. she will also be the deputy prime minister, really signalling how close she is to liz truss, notjust this week, they have been long—time

allies. wendy morton has been appointed chief whip, the person in charge of making sure conservative mps support the government in parliament. and then ben wallace, widely expected to stay as defence secretary and that is what has happened, he has been in the role since 2019, became high—profile because of the war in ukraine. no one expected him to switch roles. i should also mention brandon lewis, he becomes thejustice secretary. he had become the northern ireland secretary under borisjohnson but he was one of those who resigned in july. through this edition of the programme i am getting some help from sonia sodha and adam payne. adam, let's talk about nadhim zahawi. another big role in government. it zahawi. another big role in government.— zahawi. another big role in government. , �* ., ., ., ,, government. it isn't a role we talk about a lot- _ government. it isn't a role we talk about a lot. right. _ government. it isn't a role we talk about a lot. right. the _ government. it isn't a role we talk about a lot. right. the cabinet i about a lot. right. the cabinet office — about a lot. right. the cabinet office is— about a lot. right. the cabinet office is it _ about a lot. right. the cabinet office is it right at the centre of government and it has given some of

how to save energy. it is very few people who are in a state where they don't need to worry about the size of their energy bill because they are so well. something that analysts have been saying is if the crisis gets really bad over the winter, we are going to how to collectively find some way of reducing usage otherwise we will see shortages and thatis otherwise we will see shortages and that is where messaging from the government will come in but there are some who have more give in this than others. one of the things we have to remember is if you are very low paid you will be doing everything you can to save on energy already, but lots of people on low income work cannot afford insulation for example and the government reduced a lot of the funding for that. there will be people saying, it's well and good spending a lot of money on a support package but why hasn't government been spending more money on insulating homes, particularly people who can't afford to do it themselves.— particularly people who can't afford to do it themselves. interesting. we are working —

government estimates to be somewhere between 100 and £130 billion but in truth, estimating what the cost of this is difficult because it depends on the difference between the wholesale market price which goes up and down like a yo—yo and the price at which you fix to business and domestic customers. it could be less than 100 billion or more. the opposition labour party has called on liz truss to expand the windfall tax — which is a levy on the profits of energy companies — as a way to fund the freeze to domestic prices. however, ms truss has repeatedly ruled out a further windfall tax. a former conservative party donor told the bbc there is an argument now for windfall taxes to help with this crisis. i think it is a supportable argument that people, that massive amount of

profitability that they were not expecting and that is at the expense of others, a special one—off tax appropriate and justifiable without damaging britain's appealed to any investors. as you heard there, there are many people who think a windfall tax could help redistribute energy company profits in a way that could help people with their bills. liz truss has pushed back on that idea so far. but some experts think that an increase in windfall tax alone wouldn't be enough to pay for what's widely expected to be a huge energy bill. here's the director of the uk energy research centre. that might raise tens of billions perhaps at the absolute most. this

can cost £100 billion. the only entity with the wherewithal to raise that kind of money is the government, whether it is through borrowing or whether it is ultimately repaid through taxes or consumer bills. a windfall tax absolutely, we should be having that conversation but let's not be under the illusion that that could in any way raise the amount of money that will be needed to pay for this. back to adam and _ will be needed to pay for this. back to adam and sonia. _ will be needed to pay for this. back to adam and sonia. yet more jobs to adam and sonia. yet morejobs handed out. to adam and sonia. yet more “obs handed out.— to adam and sonia. yet more “obs handed out. , ~ ., ., ., ., handed out. penny mordaunt who at one ooint handed out. penny mordaunt who at one point was— handed out. penny mordaunt who at one point was seen _ handed out. penny mordaunt who at one point was seen as _ handed out. penny mordaunt who at one point was seen as the _ handed out. penny mordaunt who atj one point was seen as the favourite, she had _ one point was seen as the favourite, she had this — one point was seen as the favourite, she had this massive launch, she has been _ she had this massive launch, she has been here— she had this massive launch, she has been... here she is.— been... here she is. really speak to the bbc? you _ been... here she is. really speak to the bbc? you are _ been... here she is. really speak to the bbc? you are telling _ been. .. here she is. really speak to the bbc? you are telling us- been... here she is. really speak to the bbc? you are telling us about i the bbc? you are telling us about her newjob. she the bbc? you are telling us about her newjob— the bbc? you are telling us about her new “ob. ,, , ., ., her new “ob. she will be head of the house her new job. she will be head of the house of commons. _ her new job. she will be head of the house of commons. what _ her new job. she will be head of the house of commons. what does i her new job. she will be head of the house of commons. what does that mean? _ house of commons. what does that mean? it _ house of commons. what does that mean? it means that when it comes to

you for your company, we will see you for your company, we will see you soon. for the rest of you, do stay with us. hello. scotland seeing some areas of torrential, thundery rain spreading northwards as we see out the rest of tuesday, bringing a risk of disruption. and over the next few days, we're in the same weather pattern, some warm, sunny spells at times, just as we saw today. but then the clouds gather, and you see some heavy and thundery showers arrive that could come with hail, as well and gusty winds — all because an area of low pressure to the southwest of us, for now, isn't moving very much, spinning around it from southwest to northeast, these areas of heavy, even torrential rain, these thunderstorms, too. so, rocky night in scotland, we'll see another area of downpours moving in from the southwest, to parts of england and wales. it may not be as lively as it's been on recent nights, but you could still be woken by a rumble of thunder. and we'll see temperatures not dipping down very far.

so again, we're talking mainly towards the low—to—mid—teens. it's quite humid out there at the moment. we'll start the day tomorrow with the overnight rain having pushed into parts of northern ireland and northern england, feeding into southwest scotland. still some heavy rain in the far northeast of scotland, moving into orkney. and elsewhere, scattered, heavy showers breaking out — but these pleasantly warm, sunny spells in between. windiest down towards the southwest, way closer to the centre of this low pressure system. but anyway, you get the showers, the winds could well be quite gusty at times, and temperatures rising into the high teens and low 20s, perhaps 24 celsius again in east anglia. now on through wednesday evening, we are again dodging these downpours, we're likely to see further batches moving northwards overnight and into thursday. this area of low pressure is in no hurry to move away. this is where it'll be sitting on thursday — for the remainder of the week and into the start of the weekend, it will gradually drift across the uk, and then, begin to clear away. winds will slowly ease, it does increase the potential for low cloud, mist and fog

as the day begins. thursday could well bring some heavier downpours into northern england and scotland, whereas elsewhere, we can see the showers popping up again. though some of these will be hit—and—miss — inevitably, there'll be some places that stay completely dry, miss the showers and have those pleasantly warm, sunny spells. now as i hinted earlier, friday and into the weekend, the area of low pressure will begin to move but won't be completely dry. there'll still be a few showers around, but they will be less intense, less widespread than they've been. it'll feel slightly cooler and fresher.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source live from downing street where in the past few hours liz truss arrived for the first time as the uk's new prime minister. a as the uk's new prime minister. little bit earlier sh here a little bit earlier she arrived here to give her his first speech in the role. she's the third woman to hold the office of prime minister —— and she faces a number of issues at home and abroad. i am confident that together we can ride out the storm, we can rebuild our economy and we can become the modern, brilliant britain that i know we can be. earlier — liz truss accepted the queen's invitation to form a govwernment at a meeting

in balmoral in aberdeenshire. behind me here in downing street to work very much goes on. plenty of comings and going as liz truss assembles her new cabinet. it's 830 in the evening here in london. we've been on airfor 90 minutes now. through that the appointments of come thick and fast from number ten beyond me. let's run through some of the most type rofile appointments in lives trust two cabinet. we will keep a close eye on the door behind me of course because as people come out of number ten, that's normally a sign that they have been given a job. certainly, that's what's happening in the last hour and half. james cleverly will

be foreign secretary. he will needless to say be heavily involved in the uk support of ukraine facing off against russia. suella braverman she replaces priti kwasi kwarteng patel. the new chancellor will be, he is now the man in charge of the economy which is a very serious undertaker two undertaking. it always is with a particularly with the escalating energy crisis and work require a lot of money for the bill therese coffey long—time ally has been appointed secretary for health and social care. liz truss put emphasis on the nhs. therese coffey also becomes deputy prime minister. wendy morton has been appointed chief whip. not the most horrible profile but for any prime minister because against their mps behind them when their policies have to get through the house of commons. ben wallace remains his defence secretary. he had thatjob under borisjohnson, he's done it since 2019. he was expected to carry on,

he's been widely praised for his involvement in the response to the war brandon lewis in ukraine. he stays in that role. previously northern ireland secretary under borisjohnson will now northern ireland secretary under boris johnson will now serve northern ireland secretary under borisjohnson will now serve as justice secretary. i should also mention that the nadhim zahawi former chancellor didn't do the job former chancellor didn't do the job for that long because he was appointed after rishi sunak resigned injuly. he is chancellor of the duchy of lancaster as well as minister for intergovernmental relations and a qualities administer. that is as far as we've got. as the developments, we will pass them on. let's talk about the economics, the finances behind any intervention does government decides to launch the energy market. the chief economist at kpmg thank you very much for your time. run me through what you believe is the best course of action for the new government. course of action for the new government-— course of action for the new government. , ., , , , government. obviously, there will be additional support. _ government. obviously, there will be additional support. the _ government. obviously, there will be additional support. the new- additional support. the new

government will need to provide to address the cost of living crisis and to look at the rising energy prices for the there are number of ways of doing that and i think that probably temptation to spend quite a lot of money, there's been rumours of £100 billion of additional support that will be given in what way or another. it is possible that they may be better or wiser to spend a little bit less and make it more targeted at households that need that support. and therefore to save some of that money on other causes that the new prime minister d described in her speech. so this is short term challenges but we have more medium and longer—term challenges in boosting growth that the new prime minister mention. there is a lot in terms of boosting

business investment. helping business investment. helping business to export and improving productivity for the uk economy. these are very large tasks for the new prime minister to deal with. let me ask about that issue of growth. are you convinced that liz truss's idea of cutting taxes is the best to deliver not? she idea of cutting taxes is the best to deliver not?— idea of cutting taxes is the best to deliver not? ,, ., . deliver not? she mentioned cutting taxes but also _ deliver not? she mentioned cutting taxes but also investment - deliver not? she mentioned cutting taxes but also investment in i taxes but also investment in infrastructure and investment in broadband, etc. so infrastructure and investment in broadband, etc. 50 really we need to look at the details when they do come out, i understand how much of it is cutting taxes and how much of it is cutting taxes and how much of it is cutting taxes and how much of it is helping to boost investment. you also mentioned the need for it to become easier for businesses, bridges to export. i wonder kpmg analysis is of brexit and how that supports or doesn't support businesses in this countries and the ability to export their goods. for

businesses _ ability to export their goods. fr?" businesses in general, both from exports and investment, what they need first of all is certainty, understanding the relationship that they are going to have and what kind of burden or hurdles or support they could have. what kind of rules. that is really the first thing that they need to understand. more clarity and more stability and terms of the relationships that we're going to have with our trading partners is very important. l have with our trading partners is very important-— have with our trading partners is very important. i understand that ou are very important. i understand that you are staying — very important. i understand that you are staying stability - very important. i understand that you are staying stability well, - you are staying stability well, clarity would help. surely you and kpmg would have a position on whether brexit is the medium and long—term that help exporters thrive or perhaps constrain their ability to build their businesses. you must have an analysis _ to build their businesses. you must have an analysis of— to build their businesses. you must have an analysis of that. _ to build their businesses. you must have an analysis of that. any - to build their businesses. you must

have an analysis of that. any thing | have an analysis of that. any thing that makes two add trading barriers, if you like is not going to help in terms of trade. if we're going to diverge in terms of our trading standard, if it's going to be harder for companies to produce things for different markets, that is going to make it harderfor them to different markets, that is going to make it harder for them to ask for it. if we're porting barriers to trade, that is going to be harder for companies to export to as well as import. so that is not helpful. the idea is that what you want to do is make it as easy to trade as possible. is make it as easy to trade as possible-— is make it as easy to trade as ossible. ., ~ i. , . ., possible. thank you very much for 'oinin: us possible. thank you very much for joining us live _ possible. thank you very much for joining us live here _ possible. thank you very much for joining us live here on _ possible. thank you very much for joining us live here on the - possible. thank you very much for joining us live here on the bbc. i joining us live here on the bbc. talking about broadband and investment, for example. that's one of a whole raft of policies that came up not in the second speech of the day, liz truss's speech at around half past four this

afternoon. there was an earlier speech as well. boris johnson's final speech as prime minister began at 7.30am. this is it, folks. thank you everybody for coming out so early this morning. and mrjohnson first turned to what the day would bring. the baton will be handed over in what has unexpectedly turned out to be a relay race. they changed the rules halfway through, but never mind that now! but no rules were changed half way through. injuly, mrjohnson decided to step down after a record number of ministers and aides resigned in one day. his departure is entirely in line with the rules of the conservative party and the uk parliament. mrjohnson then paid tribute to his staff at no 10. the people who got brexit done, the people who deliver the fastest vaccine roll—out in europe, never forget, 70% of the entire population got a dose within six months, faster than any comparable country.

70% of the uk's eligible population did get a vaccine dose within six months. at that time it was the fastest vaccine rollout in europe — though other countries caught up soon after. as for brexit — it did happen under mrjohnson's leadership. but aspects of brexit are not settled — not least the northern ireland protocol. in may, borisjohnson said of this aspect of the deal that he signed... and blamed how the eu was implementing it. next in his speech, borisjohnson talked of his colleagues' efforts on ukraine. people who organised those prompt, early supplies of weapons to the heroic ukrainian heroic ukrainian armed forces, an action which may have changed the course of the biggest european warfor 80 years. the uk has committed £2.3 billion in military assistance. that's more than france or germany. whether the uk changed the course of the war is hard to judge. but ukraine's president has praised

borisjohnson's approach saying... borisjohnson also wanted to talk about policing. we are delivering on those huge manifesto commitments, making streets safer, neighbourhood crime down 38% in the last three years, 13,790 more police on the street. according to the home office definition of neighbourhood crime — it is down. but as bbc reality check points out... as for police numbers — more than 13,000 police officers have been recruited since april 2020. but the conservatives have been in power since 2010. between then and 2019, police numbers fell by more than 20,000. overall police numbers have fallen under the conservatives — if not under borisjohnson. and the speech then turned

from policing to the health service. we will have 50,000 more nurses by the end of the decade and a0 more hospitals by the end of. 50,000 or by the end of this parliament, i should say! a0 more hospitals the end of the decade, 50,000 more nurses. since the 2019 election, over 23,000 new full—time nhs nurses and health visitors have been appointed. more than 26,000 posts remain to be filled. as for those a0 hospitals. bbc reality check concludes... and in 2021 analysis by reality check found that of the a0 projects in england, three were entirely new hospitals. next borisjohnson talked aboutjobs. unemployment, as i leave office, down to lows not seen since i was about ten years old and bouncing around on a space hopper! mrjohnson was 10 in 197a.

unemployment is currently 3.8%. that is lower than at any point since 197a. and borisjohnson also wanted to place his 2019 election victory in a historical context. winning the biggest majority since 1987, the biggest share of the vote since 1979, delivering brexit, delivering our manifesto commitments, including reforming social care, helping people up and down the country. mrjohnson did win the conservative's biggest majority since 1987. he also won the highest share of the vote in the uk for any party since 1979. as for reforming social care, a planned cap for costs for care during a person's lifetime was brought in. this would in part be funded by a hike in national insurance. but it's not at all clear this will be enough to cover the cost and liz truss says she'll reverse the hike. as well as this, staffing shortages in social care are rising sharply.

borisjohnson had pledged to "fix the crisis in social care once and for all" when he entered downing street in 2019. that has yet to be achieved. and today, after talking for seven minutes, mrjohnson said his final public words as prime minister. and i will be supporting liz truss and the new government every step of the way. thank you all very much. thank you goodbye. thank you. up up early and watching that speech wears sonia sodha and adam payne still with me. only seven minutes long but quite a lot to digest what the what did you make of it? b, the what did you make of it? classicjohnson speech, i think. a fewjokes, few classical references but also the impression, which is critics would suggest that it doesn't really sound like a man in ourformer prime doesn't really sound like a man in our former prime minister who thinks he should be going. he didn't really

sound contrite or that he's done anything wrong. as soon as you stop speaking the debate among people like us was was he dropping hints there that he plans a comeback? is great hero winston churchill served two terms as prime minister. was borisjohnson dropping hints that he might fancy libido? the boris johnson dropping hints that he might fancy libido?— might fancy libido? the reference was a hit you _ might fancy libido? the reference was a hit you with _ might fancy libido? the reference was a hit you with a _ might fancy libido? the reference was a hit you with a known - might fancy libido? the reference was a hit you with a known full i might fancy libido? the reference i was a hit you with a known full well the person he was referring to left rome and then was to return rome later. as a dictator, i think. that's a twist i didn't know. 0nly that's a twist i didn't know. only for a few days. it that's a twist i didn't know. only for a few days.— that's a twist i didn't know. only for a few days. it was only brave. nonetheless. _ for a few days. it was only brave. nonetheless. mr— for a few days. it was only brave. nonetheless. mrjohnson - for a few days. it was only brave. nonetheless. mrjohnson knowsl for a few days. it was only brave. - nonetheless. mrjohnson knows how to make mischief, he wouldn't even deny that himself with his very effective public speaker whether you like them or not. ~ ., public speaker whether you like them or not. ~ . , ., public speaker whether you like them or not. ~ . i. ., ~ ., or not. what did you make of the seech or not. what did you make of the speech was _ or not. what did you make of the speech was back _ or not. what did you make of the speech was back i _ or not. what did you make of the speech was back i thought - or not. what did you make of the speech was back i thought it - or not. what did you make of the speech was back i thought it a i or not. what did you make of the l speech was back i thought it a was really— speech was back i thought it a was really important because it shows that there — really important because it shows that there are a lot of claims in that— that there are a lot of claims in that speech that don't quite stand up that speech that don't quite stand up to— that speech that don't quite stand up to scrutiny. a lot of stuff that boris _ up to scrutiny. a lot of stuff that boris johnson up to scrutiny. a lot of stuff that borisjohnsonjust up to scrutiny. a lot of stuff that boris johnson just didn't up to scrutiny. a lot of stuff that borisjohnsonjust didn't mention, boris johnson just didn't mention, terrible _ borisjohnsonjust didn't mention, terrible decisions around the pandemic, i think that's all

them in lasting minutes we heard from ukrainian president zelensky, he's tweeted saint... liz truss has been completely allied with boris johnson liz truss has been completely allied with borisjohnson through the war in ukraine. there's no reason to suspect shall deviate from the policy. the court should give us more details on that in time. let's turn back to the cost of living crisis and how the government is going to tackle this. facing a range of challenges not least the rising energy costs being faced by households and businesses. energy costs being faced by households and businesses. many households are already struggling to make ends meet — even before next month's energy price rises. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports now from southend in essex where residents of one street

are hoping the new prime minister can provide some help. money has long been tight in cluny square, a close—knit neighbourhood of mainly young families and pensioners in southend. it's a fantastic community now, it really is. everybody pulls together, everybody helps everyone. you know, someone is giving away a washing machine, everyone will know about it. wendy wilson runs the cafe on behalf of a small charity. rising costs mean she has reluctantly had to raise her prices. if i put a cup of tea up 20p, are they going to be able to afford it? and the answer is no. i put it up 10p. wendy, who lives with her young son, is struggling personally as well. on saturday, she had to get rid of her two dogs as they were becoming too expensive. it's the worst thing to do, the worst. they are like my children and now the house is so quiet. it's not fair that i've had to do it, but i've got no choice. i've got to look after myself and my son.

many of the residents are cohabiting or single parents and the square comes alive in the afternoon when the school day ends. i've increased the amount of money that i give towards my food bill a month, by a quarter, whilst also shopping at places that have lower costing food. college lecturer adam weaver has three children, including riley, who started school this week. though both adam and his partner work full—time, they find they are increasingly having to say no to their children. would you say you have money worries at the moment? daily. decisions are made daily about where i save money. in terms of quality—of—life you know, trips out, day trips, the times we go away in the car, all those kind of things have stopped. i need at least an extra £50 a week to get me by. dennis's cupboard full of medicine says everything. the 7a—year—old has multiple health conditions. money worries don't help. his weekly food bill is up 50%. his monthly energy bills

have almost tripled. i switch off as much as i can with the electric. i have to have my nebuliser and also my machines, they do burn it up but i need that to keep alive. we need more investment and greatjobs. we gathered everyone in the cafe to watch the speech of the prime minister. i think it was absolutely insulting and she'd had weeks to plan and come out and put people at ease and what did we get? the same generic statement that we get from every new prime minister. she hasn't really discussed l anything that we need to do. i don't hold much hope in her, i think she should have set a bit more to put us all at ease. michael buchanan, bbc news, southend in essex. well, one last time let's bring it sonia sodha and cop 26. we're inevitably focused on the cost of living, most people watching within quite like right to for that one of

home secretary, the new defence secretary, liz trusses government is taking shape and we will continue to bring you coverage of it. thank you for watching. hello. scotland seeing some areas of torrential, thundery rain spreading northwards as we see out the rest of tuesday, bringing a risk of disruption. and over the next few days, we're in the same weather pattern, some warm, sunny spells at times, just as we saw today. but then the clouds gather, and you see some heavy and thundery showers arrive that could come with hail, as well and gusty winds — all because an area of low pressure to the southwest of us, for now, isn't moving very much, spinning around it from southwest to northeast, these areas of heavy, even torrential rain, these thunderstorms, too. so, rocky night in scotland, we'll see another area of downpours moving in from the southwest, to parts of england and wales. it may not be as lively as it's been on recent nights, but you could still be woken by a rumble of thunder. and we'll see temperatures not

dipping down very far. so again, we're talking mainly towards the low—to—mid—teens. it's quite humid out there at the moment. we'll start the day tomorrow with the overnight rain having pushed into parts of northern ireland and northern england, feeding into southwest scotland. still some heavy rain in the far northeast of scotland, moving into orkney. and elsewhere, scattered, heavy showers breaking out — but these pleasantly warm, sunny spells in between. windiest down towards the southwest, way closer to the centre of this low pressure system. but anyway, you get the showers, the winds could well be quite gusty at times, and temperatures rising into the high teens and low 20s, perhaps 2a celsius again in east anglia. now on through wednesday evening, we are again dodging these downpours, we're likely to see further batches moving northwards overnight and into thursday. this area of low pressure is in no hurry to move away. this is where it'll be sitting on thursday — for the remainder of the week and into the start of the weekend, it will gradually drift across the uk, and then, begin to clear away.

winds will slowly ease, it does increase the potential for low cloud, mist and fog as the day begins. thursday could well bring some heavier downpours into northern england and scotland, whereas elsewhere, we can see the showers popping up again. though some of these will be hit—and—miss — inevitably, there'll be some places that stay completely dry, miss the showers and have those pleasantly warm, sunny spells. now as i hinted earlier, friday and into the weekend, the area of low pressure will begin to move but won't be completely dry. there'll still be a few showers around, but they will be less intense, less widespread than they've been. it'll feel slightly cooler and fresher.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. liz truss becomes the fouth british prime minister in six years — after accepting at balmoral the queen's invitation to form a new government. tonight the new prime minster is putting the finish touches to her cabinet, ahead of what promises to be a frenetic few days of announcements. i am confident that together we can ride out the storm, we can rebuild our economy and we can become the modern, brilliant britain that i know we can be. borisjohnson left downing street this morning, urging the conservative party to unite behind his successor. we'll keep you up to date on all the new appointments as they emerge tonight. with the context, former education secretaryjustine greening,
