good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay here in downing street and sally nugent in the studio. our headlines today. a new top team for the new pm — liz truss will meet her cabinet in number 10 this morning, after a major reshuffle of key roles last night. then — at lunch time — to parliament for the first prime minister's questions, facing opposition mps. she facing opposition mps. says top of her list of priorities she says top of her list of priorities are growing the economy and tackling the energy prices. what business here want to know is how she plans to do that. we break down

what we know for them and for you. also this morning... the mother of nine year old olivia pratt—korbel appeals to the gunman who killed her to hand himself in. you know you've done wrong. so you need to own up. like i've taught my kids. an electric atmosphere at celtic park wasn't enough the scottish champions on their return to the champions league group stage. they were beaten by the holders real madrid. and whilst we will have some persistent thundery rain this morning in northern scotland elsewhere changeable skies. sunshine one minute, i will have all the details on breakfast. it's wednesday the 7th of september. a new era in british politics. the first full day in the newjob for our new prime minister. the cabinet

will meet over breakfast and discuss a multi—billion pound plan to tackle the soaring cost of living. last night liz truss rewarded some of her key allies and friends with senior jobs. a major reshuffle of the cabinet. we will talk you through that. that took place hours after she took office. later she faces labour leader sir keir starmer at her first prime minister's questions. we will look ahead to that today. let's reflect on who is in and who is out. our political correspondent, ben wright, has this report. elected by tory party members after borisjohnson�*s downfall, liz truss entered number 10 promising a fresh start. but with energy bills soaring and a recession forecast, it's going to be tough. i will get britain working again. i have a bold plan to grow the economy through tax cuts and reform. i will cut taxes to reward hard work, and boost business—led growth and investment.

we shouldn't be daunted by the challenges we face. as strong as the storm may be, i know that the british people are stronger. our country was built by people who get things done. we have huge reserves of talent, of energy, and determination. i am confident that together we can ride out the storm. the handover of power took place in the highlands. liz truss met the queen at balmoral castle in aberdeenshire. after accepting borisjohnson�*s resignation, the queen appointed the 15th prime minister of her reign — the country's fourth conservative leader in just six years. afterflying back to london, liz truss was driven to downing street, where torrential rain had threatened to wash out her speech. confident of victory for many weeks, the new prime minister had already planned her cabinet. herfriend kwasi kwarteng is chancellor — he will have to find

billions of pounds to help people with energy bills. james cleverly becomes foreign secretary, and suella braverman is in charge of the home office. jacob rees—mogg becomes business secretary, and therese coffey — one of liz truss�* closest allies — is the new health secretary. we've got priorities a, b, c, d — ambulances, backlogs, care, d — doctors and dentists — and we're going to work through that and we'll make sure that we are delivering for patients. liz truss begins this job at the toughest of moments, and she knows there is very little time to prove she can grip the challenges facing the country. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. the rain has eased for now although it is looking a bit grey. we had heavy rain earlier. let's take a look at some of this morning's front pages. all of them obviously deal with what happened here in downing street yesterday and what is to come. the

daily mirror saying liz truss has entered number 10 full of promises just like the last three tory pm is, the paper issuing her a direct challenge writing, come on, then, prove us wrong. the guardian also critical usually of the conservative party. they say that her opening move was to reward loyalists and reject calls for a unity cabinet. it illustrates the day with a picture of the new prime minister and her husband beaming on the steps of ten just before they went inside. the times, like lots of paper picking up that same line from a national address on the steps of downing street yesterday afternoon as its headline, reading "we can ride out the storm". we will check them whether it later. the sun has a picture of ms truss meeting the queen, that was the moment of the transition of power. nick eardley is

with us to talk through it. have you dried out? i with us to talk through it. have you dried out? . ., , , ., , dried out? i am hoping it is a bit less rainy _ dried out? i am hoping it is a bit less rainy today _ dried out? i am hoping it is a bit less rainy today because - dried out? i am hoping it is a bit less rainy today because it - dried out? i am hoping it is a bit less rainy today because it was i less rainy today because it was quite a moment when we were waiting for liz truss, the podium going in and out and no one was sure if she would get to make the speech. the metaphor is right themselves. but she did and she got a moment of dry weather to do it. what are the key messages from what she had to say? she said she had three key priorities which i think she will be judged on over the next couple of years in the run—up to a general election. 0ne years in the run—up to a general election. one was the economy, to grow it and make sure that she gets on top of inflation and gets higher wages and get the economy growing again, something we have from boris johnson, as well, by the way! he struggles to deliver. the second thing was what we have been talking about all week, the energy crisis, how you help people with their bills over the winter. we will get that

full plan probably tomorrow. and also to future proof the uk in case there are other situations in the future where the energy supply is a problem. and then the third thing, which wasn't talked about all that much during the leadership campaign but she has made an early priority, was the nhs, and getting that back on track, trying to fix some of the problems with gp services and to that end she has put one of her closest political allies in the job of health secretary, therese coffey, who is also deputy prime minister. we will get ourfirst who is also deputy prime minister. we will get our first interview with her on the programme this morning. that will be interesting to understand more about that. you mention therese coffey, but what about the other point was last night, the people who will be coming here this morning and starting as a fresh government? what can we tell about liz truss' priorities from those people around her? there were not a ureat those people around her? there were not a great deal _ those people around her? there were not a great deal of _ those people around her? there were not a great deal of surprises. - those people around her? there were not a great deal of surprises. this - not a great deal of surprises. this was likely what we expected. we were

talking yesterday about who the top people could be. kwasi kwarteng is the man who has moved into number 11 as chancellor. james cleverly it will be foreign secretary, suella braverman the new home secretary. i think one of the crucial things about that cabinet is it is a pretty loyal cabinet. liz truss has decided to surround herself with people who agree with her, who share her political values. they are not all died in the wool allies of her, some of them ran against her for the leadership. some conservatives said yesterday privately that they really wanted ms truss to say to supporters of rishi sunak, let's heal the parties, brings you into the fold. that has not happened. she has decided she would rather have people who have agreed with her rather than

criticise her in the past. you can see the logic, which is you don't have to go deal echo sit around the cabinet table with people who a few weeks ago are saying your plan is ruinous, but at the same time some conservatives are nervous that that mean she will not be challenged on some of her ideas, they will not be the same broad range they could be of voices around the cabinet table and one former senior cabinet minister said to me yesterday it is in situations like that where mistakes happen because you are not appealing to more wings of the party. appealing to more wings of the .a _ , . , , party. instinctively every time there is any — party. instinctively every time there is any movement - party. instinctively every time there is any movement in - party. instinctively every time there is any movement in and party. instinctively every time - there is any movement in and out of that door we are like this! you are going to have a cricked neck. for title start to come out at the street, normally jackie was, and street, normallyjackie was, and they pop up street, normally jackie was, and the -o-_ , ., ., they pop up to the door. some of them might _ they pop up to the door. some of them might stop _ they pop up to the door. some of them might stop for _ they pop up to the door. some of them might stop for a _

that's all we really wanted to do — was kind of go, you think you know cancer, but this is actually cancer — we're cancer — and let's talk about it. lauren mahon, rachael bland and dame deborahjames — the original presenters of you, me and the big c. all three had been diagnosed with cancer when they began their podcast in 2018. it was candid, informal, funny and honest. did you ever envisage the impact it would have? i don't think we ever could have imagined, planned, predicted the success and the impact of the pod _ i think that's what makes it so special. we just got into a room and talked and shared our lived experience. lauren is at london's guildhall to receive an honorary doctorate degree from the institute of cancer research and the university of london. also being honoured, rachael bland's widower steve bland — who became one of the presenters when his wife died — and dame deborah james. .. # baby, baby, baby, when you... ..who's to receive her award posthumously. # when you touch me like this.

# and when you hold me like that... first thing is, deborah would have loved to have been here, because she'd love to be surrounded by scientists. and she loves beautiful buildings like this. the chance to have been here doing it. and she would have given a lovely speech — which might have been written five minutes before she came here — in her normal style! but i think it would have been brilliant. it's coming up to almost three months since she died. how are you? i find it quite tough because there's more things i know that she would love to be at, and... things like the first day of school for the children. she loved that. she loved the new pens and pencils to buy. that's tough for them, tough for us. but we will continue to be her positivity, if you like. what do you think deborah would make of this, and what do you think rachael would make of this? ithink... i think both of them would be absolutely thrilled if they were here. i know deborah particularly

was passionate about science and about innovation. you know, it was science and innovation that kept her alive, really, for so long. deborah, rachael and i started something together, and now i can't just turn round to them and go, "oh, do you remember that time?" or, you know, share any more experiences. and that feels quite empty. but alsojust hits home why it's so important to do the work that we do, because we don't want to lose any more rachaels and debs. hello and welcome to you, me and the big c. the institute of cancer research credits the podcast with having boosted the number of people checking potential cancer symptoms early — similar to what the nfs dubbed cancer symptoms early — similar to what the nhs dubbed "the fry—turnbull effect" following stephen fry's and bill turnbull�*s openness about their prostate cancer diagnoses. before his death last week, bill's actions were credited with having saved many lives. applause. i'm, like, gobsmacked. it's one of the greatest honours of my life to be

awarded this doctorate. there must be such a mixed feeling, isn't it? because your two original co—presenters aren't here. yeah, it...beggars belief, really. and it has such a bittersweet feeling to the day, because we would... deb knew she was going to get this and would have loved to have been here. and we'd have loved rachael to know and be here and be part of it. these are the people that are creating the drugs, that are finding these new breakthroughs, and itjust feels unbelievable to be sitting in a room and being honoured with a doctorate! it's hoped the you, me and the big c podcast will continue in the coming months. but, for now, a chance to reflect on the extraordinary impact of its hosts — past and present. tim muffett, bbc news. you are watching breakfast. plenty more coming up from downing street throughout the programme this morning. liz truss, the new prime minister, gets ready to chair her first cabinet meeting around 8:30am.

we've come through the pandemic. we've had a workforce through that time who have been amazing. they've worked in different places. they've dealt with the unknown, they've turned up every day and kind of really done what they needed to. they're now coming to work every day knowing that during that time we've also built up a really long waiting list of patients who need their planned care and that we need to kind of keep going and work as effectively as we can to get through that. three cycle lanes in central and south london that were put in temporarily during covid restrictions are to be made permanent. they were introduced at tooley street, between chelsea bridge and wandsworth and 0val to elephant and castle. tfl said it led to a 25% rise in cyclists without delaying traffic. a consultation on another scheme in clapham runs until october. essex police are clamping down on poor and dangerous driving. 0ne motorist had illegal blackout film removed following a day of action. in total, 51 drivers were reported for offences, including five for using a phone while driving. travel now and this is how tfl

services are looking. there are severe delays on the 0verground between willesden junction and clapham junction and minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. some more wet weather last night, so it's quite damp underfoot to start the day. a few showers still lingering and also some brighter spells, too, this morning. visibility not too much of an issue. now, low pressure is still sitting out towards the west of us and that will be tracking eastwards slowly over the next couple of days or so, bringing the possibility of further heavy downpours, really quite slow moving showers towards the end of the working week. and then it will clear to leave us with a mostly dry and a rather settled weekend. but there could be some issues with mist and fog. now, for this morning, still a few showers around, but they should mostly clear away. there will be some sunny spells around, fewer showers generally today than we've been seeing over the last couple of days or so. and they'll tend to be a little bit lighter as well. so a bit more isolated, particularly as we head

through the afternoon. some sunny spells, still a noticeable southerly breeze and temperatures peaking in the late 20s in celsius. now, overnight tonight, we are likely to see this band of showery rain move in from the near continent. so it is going to be quite a wet night, particularly towards eastern areas i suspect. that will have mostly cleared by the time we get to thursday, but more thundery showers possible on thursday and friday. that's it for now. but head to our website for more stories including the 12—year—old drummer who shared a stage with the foo fighers. i'm back in around half an hour. hello, welcome to downing street. wednesday morning, thank you for joining us. liz truss is preparing for herfirst cabinet joining us. liz truss is preparing for her first cabinet meeting, she has appointed the members of her government and had invited them into

london to number 10 this morning and they are going to be told what their priorities are. i suspect a lot of them will have been mugging up on them will have been mugging up on the details of their new department last night because they hit the ground running this morning. the number one priority is energy bills, what is she going to do to confront that number one issue is for so many families and businesses around the country? how is she going to reassure people? we will get details in the next day or so. the lights have been coming on at downing street in the last few minutes, talking of energy consumption. it looks like the whole of number 10 is springing to life and ready to host that meeting. the cabinet room where they meet around the table is on the ground floor at the back so we can't see in it but that is where they will sit when they meet later. we should get the first arrivals in the next hour. as early as tomorrow morning, businesses should start to find out, as well as homeowners, how much extra support that they will

received. antonina is in birmingham to talk to some wholesale traders about what need and expect stop —— and nina is in birmingham and she will get herfivea and nina is in birmingham and she will get her five a day as well! lights just lightsjust coming lights just coming on lightsjust coming on in downing street? it is nearly dinnertime here! sorry to state the obvious once again, but let's take this line with that has come all the way from mexico, think about the energy that was used to grow it in the first place, get it onto a lorry, a plane, get over here, refrigerated, taken to the market and that is before it has got anywhere near your cocktail and curry. the price of energy affect everything including businesses like paul's, what you need to hear tomorrow?- businesses like paul's, what you need to hear tomorrow? clear and concisely what _ need to hear tomorrow? clear and concisely what is _ need to hear tomorrow? clear and concisely what is going _ need to hear tomorrow? clear and concisely what is going to - need to hear tomorrow? clear and concisely what is going to happen | concisely what is going to happen for businesses as well as households. anything that affects business — households. anything that affects business will trickle down to households. with a lot of refrigeration here and transport, that will— refrigeration here and transport, that will have a lots of impact on

government debt. we wait to see what happens tomorrow. businesses are waiting as well. let's speak to adrian who is running a chemical engineering company. put bluntly what are your energy costs now and once your tariff and talk to go to? currently is one point 8 million roughly —— 1.8 million, but once we're of hedged, it is 4.2 million. what does that dude your business model? it what does that dude your business model? . ., what does that dude your business model? .., . , , ,., model? it could cripple it so need hel. model? it could cripple it so need help- there _ model? it could cripple it so need help- there is— model? it could cripple it so need help. there is an _ model? it could cripple it so need help. there is an instant - model? it could cripple it so need help. there is an instant need - model? it could cripple it so need| help. there is an instant need like there is in the domestic market, cash flow not just there is in the domestic market, cash flow notjust pop there is in the domestic market, cash flow not just pop for us there is in the domestic market, cash flow notjust pop for us but for a number of manufacturing companies, will be critical for the next six months. then the government needs to look at the structure of the energy market, and then the longer term need, how does the country become more resilient in terms of energy supply?- country become more resilient in terms of energy supply? when does this help needs _ terms of energy supply? when does this help needs to _ terms of energy supply? when does this help needs to come? _ this help needs to come? immediately, absolutely immediately.

at the guardian. good morning. a new era, a new wet start yesterday afternoon, jack, let's start with energy bills. everyone is saying we will find out tomorrow but how much will we find out, will businesses and homeowners are to get clarity? thea;r out, will businesses and homeowners are to get clarity?— are to get clarity? they are going to need it because _ are to get clarity? they are going to need it because everybody - are to get clarity? they are going . to need it because everybody around the country are so worried about what is going to happen to energy bills next month and liz truss notice they need to hit the ground running. i have not thought of any prime minister that has such a massive crisis at the top of the injury. downing street are not steering away from a big announcement tomorrow. we have to see something comprehensive for households and businesses to give them absolute clarity on how they are going to get their bills paid because otherwise millions of people will not be able to pay and that is not something that the government can allow to happen.— can allow to happen. aubrey, they will know that _ can allow to happen. aubrey, they

obviously values loyalty and close allies over anything else at the moment because she wants people she can trust to get her through the difficult days ahead. if she doesn't get through these days, she might never recover. the get through these days, she might never recover.— never recover. the first test is appointing _ never recover. the first test is appointing the _ never recover. the first test is appointing the cabinet - never recover. the first test is appointing the cabinet and - never recover. the first test is | appointing the cabinet and she never recover. the first test is - appointing the cabinet and she will be pleased that so far there are no missteps and problems.— be pleased that so far there are no missteps and problems. that's right but we might _ missteps and problems. that's right but we might see _ missteps and problems. that's right but we might see some _ missteps and problems. that's right but we might see some of— missteps and problems. that's right but we might see some of those - missteps and problems. that's right| but we might see some of those mps who have been overlooked, the big hitters who are going back to the backbenches, we need to be watching them over the next few days and weeks to see how they react. already by choosing certain people forjobs and ignoring others you are making enemies and they can be powerful enemies and they can be powerful enemies on the backbenches if they go wrong for you. enemies on the backbenches if they go wrong for you— go wrong for you. what about the enemies on _ go wrong for you. what about the enemies on the _ go wrong for you. what about the enemies on the other— go wrong for you. what about the enemies on the other side - go wrong for you. what about the enemies on the other side of- go wrong for you. what about the enemies on the other side of the | enemies on the other side of the commons, prime minister's questions today so she goes straight up against the circuit stammer, —— against the circuit stammer, —— against sir keir starmer, how do labour and the against sir keir starmer, how do labourand the snp against sir keir starmer, how do labour and the snp handle liz truss? a lot of the stuff she is talking

everyone could see what a nightmare situation it is economically for a prime minister to come into so i think people will give her a little bit of leeway. so i think in terms of keeping the party together and the show on the road, everything will be about how she does in the first few weeks. if politicians see a successful leader marching towards victory, they will all full in behind her. if he makes mistakes, you watch them turn on her. it's all about whether she can nail that early moment where you have the chance to make a first impression on people. it chance to make a first impression on --eole. , ., chance to make a first impression on eo le, , ., ., chance to make a first impression on --eole. , ., ., , people. it is going to be interesting, _ people. it is going to be interesting, does - people. it is going to be interesting, does it - people. it is going to be interesting, does it feel| people. it is going to be - interesting, does it feel like a people. it is going to be _ interesting, does it feel like a new era to report, does it feel different?— era to report, does it feel different? , ., , , ., era to report, does it feel different? , . , , ., , different? yes, there has been a big clear out some _ different? yes, there has been a big clear out some of _ different? yes, there has been a big clear out some of the _ different? yes, there has been a big clear out some of the big _ different? yes, there has been a big clear out some of the big beasts - different? yes, there has been a big clear out some of the big beasts of. clear out some of the big beasts of the boris _ clear out some of the big beasts of the borisjohnson clear out some of the big beasts of the boris johnson administration so it will— the boris johnson administration so it will look— the boris johnson administration so it will look and feel so fairly different even though there are some still in _ different even though there are some still in place but it will be fun to cover~ _ still in place but it will be fun to cover. it still in place but it will be fun to cover.- it will _ still in place but it will be fun to cover.- it will be _ still in place but it will be fun to cover. fun? it will be interesting to cover! it— cover. fun? it will be interesting to cover! it is _ cover. fun? it will be interesting to cover! it is a _ cover. fun? it will be interesting to cover! it is a serious - cover. fun? it will be interesting to cover! it is a serious over - cover. fifi? it will be interesting to cover! it is a serious over the country so we should keep that in mind but watching the way the power

dramatic skies probably will happen again for some today, a mix of sunshine and heavy and thundery showers. the day starts reasonably dry and if you are about to step out, we have fairly mild conditions once again. so the waterproof rather than the warm jacket. some showers in the south—east, the bulk are in northern ireland and western parts of england and wales but this is an area of more persistent rain. in north—east scotland this could cause flooding, improving conditions into the afternoon as sunny spells start to develop. after a few mist and fog patches, the showers develop more widely. anyone could see a shower come your way, it may form a small portion of the day but for one or two, they will come and go throughout. plus three for the north of scotland, windy for the south and west. —— blustery to the north of

scotland. we are still looking for high teens and low 20s. warm enough once the sun is on your back. in the south we will see heavy and thundery showers through the night. maybe more persistent rain in east anglia. temperatures in double figures, sitting in the teens for the vast majority. another day of sunshine and showers. the pressure in the south—west starts to move across the uk tomorrow. around the centre of that when the winds are light, transferring into wales, the showers will be slow—moving so it could be rainy for a while. an area of more persistent rain in lincolnshire, into the north—east of england and south—east scotland later today. the rest of scotland and northern ireland should be drier and brighter, fewer showers and temperatures down a little bit. as we head into friday, more persistent rain for scotland and northern ireland, heavy showers further south across the country after a misty and

foggy start and it will feel cooler. thank you, i think, despite all of the rain. it is drier this weekend. the sport, celtic last night, if an atmosphere could have one again, they would have won it. it sounded incredible. it they would have won it. it sounded incredible. ., . they would have won it. it sounded incredible. . . ., incredible. it did, and celtic are on this journey, _ incredible. it did, and celtic are on this journey, they _ incredible. it did, and celtic are on this journey, they are - on this journey, they are rejuvenated, they have started the season brilliantly and they are playing really good and for bold football. �* ., , football. and there were moments in the first half— football. and there were moments in the first half for _ football. and there were moments in the first half for he _ football. and there were moments in the first half for he thought, - football. and there were moments in the first half for he thought, hang - the first half for he thought, hang on a minute. the first half for he thought, hang on a minute-— on a minute. they put it to real madrid who _ on a minute. they put it to real madrid who are _ on a minute. they put it to real madrid who are the _ on a minute. they put it to real madrid who are the champions| on a minute. they put it to real. madrid who are the champions of on a minute. they put it to real- madrid who are the champions of the champions league. there were a couple of chances which if they could have put them away, they could have had a chance.

celtic were beaten 3—0 by the holders real madrid on their return to the champions league group stage after five years away. there was also a shock loss for chelsea, while for manchester city, erling haaland was scoring yet again as they won. andy swiss rounds up the action. for celtic, a return to the champions league, against the champions, no less, real madrid — cue a crackling atmosphere which celtic did their best to match. commentator: mcgregor! oh so close from callum mcgregor. but come the second half, real�*s class finally told. this is vinicius junior! that put them ahead and further goals from luka modric and eden hazard rounded off a 3—0 win. delight for them but defeat for celtic. it defeat for celtic. wasn't through a lack of effort oi’ it wasn't through a lack of effort or a lack of commitment or belief, again, the boys gave it everything they could. but if you want to

bridge that gap, you have got to make sure you come back stronger next time. manchester city, meanwhile, were away to sevilla, where their new goal—scoring machine was at it again. erling haaland scoring his 11th and 12th of the season, and it is barely september, remember, as city ultimately cruised to a 4—0 victory. it was a bad night for chelsea, though. wearing white, they were outpaced and outplayed by dinamo zagreb. mislav orsic giving the hosts a shock 1—0 win. early days, but for chelsea, early worries. andy swiss, bbc news. always nice to have the champions league that, it heralds the start of winter. tonight in action are tottenham, rangers and liverpool, liverpool are in napoli and we have seen some updates, we know what happened in paris at the champions league final, and there was some advice for liverpool fans to stay

within the hotel and not go out on the streets. within the hotel and not go out on the streets-— within the hotel and not go out on the streets. . ., , .., ., the streets. that has come from the cu itself, the streets. that has come from the cop itself. that _ the streets. that has come from the cup itself, that is _ the streets. that has come from the cup itself, that is official _ cup itself, that is official guidance for the club for fans who were there to be very careful. it will be interesting to follow that story as it develops. let's move on to women's football. wales will be in the play—offs for next year's women's world cup in australia and new zealand. they secured second place in their qualifying group with a goalless draw against slovenia, as they chase theirfirst appearance at a women's major finals. more than 12,000 fans were in cardiff to see it, a record for a wales women's match. surreal, a surreal feeling to be out here playing in front of all these fans. everyone came out tonight and they were our 12th player and they got us through. and, yeah, can't be more proud of the group, it's what we deserve. we've worked so hard over the last 12 months to get to where we are today. and yeah, to do it in front of this crowd was an unbelievable achievement. and yeah, onto the next one. england rounded off their campaign with a 10—0 win over luxembourg. it was their first game on home soil as european champions and the lionesses were ruthless,

with eight different players getting on the scoresheet in stoke. it means they finish their ten qualifying games with ten wins, 80 goals scored, and none conceded. northern ireland finished with a 3—1win in latvia where they were helped by three own goals. northern ireland haven't qualified but they did finish on 19 points, a record for their senior women's side. scotland have already qualified for the play offs but they ended their group with a comfortable 6—0 win against the faroe islands. erin cuthbert with the pick of the goals. the draw for the play—offs is on friday. in the last half hour or so russia's karen khachanov has beaten nick kyrgios at the us open to reach his first grand slam semi—final. once again krygios was involved in an epic five set match and once again the australian's temper boiled over, here in the third set. he managed to level the match at two sets all and despite the pressure

still found time to play his now trademark hot—dog shot. but in the end kachanov proved too strong for the wimbledon runner—up. he'll face casper ruud of norway for a place in sunday's final. caroline garcia from france will face ons jabeur for a place in the women's final. garcia beat american teenager coco gauff in straight sets to reach her first grand slam semifinal. jabeur reched the last four after beating ajla tomljanovic. and finally, there was an unexpected rider on stage three of the tour of britain. as the riders were making their way through the north east, this young fella joined the peleton, taking the challenge to the professionals. well done to him. i'm sure he had permission to be on for the school! maybe has started, who knows? let's give him the benefit of the doubt. i

wonder who he is, i'm sure we will find out shortly. he did well. i don't think i would have done it. the eurovision song contest is heading to the uk next year — and seven cities are still in the running to stage the event. before the winner is announced in the autumn, breakfast is taking a look at what each place has to offer. this week our entertainment correspondent colin paterson visited newcastle. # you shook me all night long... newcastle and tyneside's musical output has been wildly varied, from ac/dc singer brianjohnson... # let's get ready to rumble! ..to pj and duncan. from sting to gazza with lindisfarne. # fog on the tyne is all mine... while sam fender has just announced a stadium show next june at stjames's park, home of his beloved newcastle united. the month before that gig, the city could host eurovision. so this is what gives newcastle its name.

this is it? this is the new castle that was built to replace the old one that fell down. not so new any more. the team behind the city's bid are full of confidence. we have the hotel space, we have the arena, we have the connectivity links. we are the perfect eurovision host city. the area's previous links to eurovision are not strong. prefab sprout�*s paddy mcaloon once wrote a song released by frances ruffelle the year after she represented the uk. sadly, it missed the charts. but one former eurovision contestant does still live locally, working in a vet's in south shields. hello, rocky. david ducasse has made the move from scooch to pooch. everything all right? # flying the flag for you. would you like a complimentary drink with your meal, sir? in 2007, the uk's entry scootch came 22nd out of 24. i think out of the four of us, i was the one who genuinely believed

that we were going to win. so i was gutted. the others were just enjoying the champagne, whereas i was kind of doing the maths thinking, "oh, no, it's getting further and further away." but as an experience, i think any eurovision entrant would just say, "we'll do it all over again." and if eurovision came to newcastle, would scooch get back together? 100%, we'd be there. literally, i would swap this t—shirt and go and get my cabin crew outfit out of the wardrobe. bring rocky with me. yeah, we might have a fifth member, but yeah, definitely. who wouldn't want to be involved? especially when it's on your doorstep. newcastle hosting eurovision would also mean a lot to ukrainians living in the area. alex was a newsreader in ukraine until she fled the country with her mother, sister and dog yizhak, which means hedgehog. she is now working here in a bar. i will be really happy

if newcastle will invite eurovision because for me now, after months of living in this area, newcastle is like a part of ukraine, part of ukraine culture. and i understand that it's like a second home for me and if it will invite eurovision, i would be really happy. this is about newcastle getting the bid for eurovision. and we all want that, don't we? of course we do. and hosting the event could have a huge impact on all aspects of the city. eurovision—themed silent disco walking tours are already being tried out. # we're flying the flag... i've been a eurovision fan since 20!!. whoo! it's just absolutely my whole life. and it should be newcastle. i mean, have you just seen how friendly the people are? we're back in 1981 now with a bit of bucks fizz. # comes the time for making your mind up... i think it would be - a perfect place, basically, because it's like a party town. we just noticed!

# ooh, ahh, just a little bit, ooh, ah, a little bit more! if we got eurovision it would just absolutely blow up. everyone would just hit the roof with excitement. # waterloo, i was defeated, you won the war... is newcastle going to get it? let'sjust be really optimistic and say yes, we are. why—aye! in 2023, if it's eurovision time on the tyne, then there are going to be an awful lot of excited people. colin paterson, bbc news, newcastle. yeah! cheering. newcastle putting its case forward to host eurovision! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. tributes have been paid to a man

who was shot by police in south london on monday night. chris kaba, who was 23, died after a police chase in streatham hill. his fiancee's mother said he was months away from becoming a dad, and was studying to become an architect. the police watchdog is investigating. wards are being repurposed in london's hospitals to help reduce the number of people waiting more than a year for operations. it's one of the measures being tried at hammersmith hospital, which is also recruiting specialist nurses, and using robots. the imperial nhs trust says it's doing all it can to deal with backlogs caused by covid. we've come through the pandemic. we've had a workforce through that time who have been amazing. they've worked in different places. they've dealt with the unknown, they've turned up every day and kind of really done what they needed to. they're now coming to work every day knowing that during that time we've also built up a really long waiting list of patients who need their planned care and that we need to kind of keep going and work as effectively as we can to get through that.

three cycle lanes in central and south london that were put in temporarily during covid restrictions are to be made permanent. they were introduced at tooley street, between chelsea bridge and wandsworth, and oval to elephant and castle. tfl said it led to a 25% rise in cyclists without delaying traffic. a consultation on another scheme in clapham runs until october. essex police are clamping down on poor and dangerous driving. one motorist had illegal blackout film removed following a day of action. in total, 51 drivers were reported for offences, including five for using a phone while driving. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking. there are severe delays on the 0verground between willesden junction and clapham junction. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. some more wet weather last night, so it's quite damp underfoot to start the day. a few showers still lingering and also some brighter

spells, too, this morning. visibility not too much of an issue. now, low pressure is still sitting out towards the west of us and that will be tracking eastwards slowly over the next couple of days or so, bringing the possibility of further heavy downpours, really quite slow moving showers towards the end of the working week. and then it will clear to leave us with a mostly dry and a rather settled weekend. but there could be some issues with mist and fog. now, for this morning, still a few showers around, but they should mostly clear away. there will be some sunny spells around, fewer showers generally today than we've been seeing over the last couple of days or so. and they'll tend to be a little bit lighter as well. so a bit more isolated, particularly as we head through the afternoon. some sunny spells, still a noticeable southerly breeze and temperatures peaking in the late 20s in celsius. now, overnight tonight, we are likely to see this band of showery rain move in from the near continent. so it is going to be quite a wet night, particularly

towards eastern areas i suspect. that will have mostly cleared by the time we get to thursday, but more thundery showers possible on thursday and friday. that's it for now. but head to our website for more stories — including the 12—year—old drummer who shared a stage with the foo fighters. i'm back in around half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay here in downing street — on another big day in westminster — and sally nugent in the studio. our headlines today... a new top team for the new pm — liz truss will meet her cabinet

in number 10 this morning, after a major reshuffle of key roles last night. then — at lunch time — to parliament for the first prime minister's questions, facing mps wanting answers on her plans to tackle soaring energy bills. also this morning... the mother of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel appeals to the gunman who killed her to hand himself in. you know you've done wrong. so you need to own up. like i've taught my kids. an electric atmosphere at celtic park wasn't enough for the scottish champions on their return to the champions league group stage. they were beaten by the holders real madrid. whilst the holders real madrid. northern scotland will set some whilst northern scotland will see some persistent and thundery rain through this morning, elsewhere changeable skies. sunshine one minute, heavy and maybe thundery showers the next. i will have all the details.

good morning, everybody. it's wednesday the 7th of september. our main story. the new prime minister will set out her energy plans to cabinet when she meets them for the first time this morning. the rest of us should get the details tomorrow, we understand. today she will tell her new cabinet appointees whatever are going to be. they will meet in there in the next couple of hours. he why they? liz truss we want to take key allies and friends with seniorjobs in a major reshuffle last night, just hours after taking office herself. later she will get in the car, go to the house of commons and face labour leader at sir keir starmer at her very first prime minister's questions. all change in downing street. our political correspondent, ben wright, has this report. elected by tory party members after borisjohnson's downfall, liz truss entered number 10 promising a fresh start. but with energy bills soaring and a recession forecast,

it's going to be tough. i will get britain working again. i have a bold plan to grow the economy through tax cuts and reform. i will cut taxes to reward hard work, and boost business—led growth and investment. we shouldn't be daunted by the challenges we face. as strong as the storm may be, i know that the british people are stronger. our country was built by people who get things done. we have huge reserves of talent, of energy, and determination. i am confident that together we can ride out the storm. the handover of power took place in the highlands. liz truss met the queen at balmoral castle in aberdeenshire. after accepting borisjohnson's resignation, the queen appointed the 15th prime minister of her reign — the country's fourth conservative leader in just six years.

afterflying back to london, liz truss was driven to downing street, where torrential rain had threatened to wash out her speech. confident of victory for many weeks, the new prime minister had already planned her cabinet. herfriend kwasi kwarteng is chancellor — he will have to find billions of pounds to help people with energy bills. james cleverly becomes foreign secretary, and suella braverman is in charge of the home office. jacob rees—mogg becomes business secretary, and therese coffey — one of liz truss' closest allies — is the new health secretary. we've got priorities a, b, c, d — ambulances, backlogs, care, d — doctors and dentists — and we're going to work through that and we'll make sure that we are delivering for patients. liz truss begins this job at the toughest of moments, and she knows there is very little time to prove she can grip the challenges facing the country. ben wright, bbc news, westminster.

she is starting early this morning with a cabinet meeting at 9am so expect those new ministers in their newjobs expect those new ministers in their new jobs to expect those new ministers in their newjobs to turn up here at number 10, tie sting in the next hour or so. nick eardley is here to watch them, count them in. they have a huge challenge.— them, count them in. they have a huge challenge. don't they 'ust. liz truss has huge challenge. don't they 'ust. liz rruss has set i huge challenge. don't they 'ust. liz truss has set herself h huge challenge. don't they 'ust. liz truss has set herself three _ huge challenge. don't theyjust. liz truss has set herself three key - truss has set herself three key targets in herjob. she talked about them just over that when she arrived here yesterday. to grow the economy, not easy. to deal with the energy crisis, help us with our bills, a proper plan for that will come tomorrow but she will tell the cabinet this afternoon... sorry, this morning. it has been a long couple of days! she will tell them later this morning exactly what that looks like. i'm told the final touches are being put to it. third, she has talked about the nhs, which didn't feature all that much in the leadership campaign but she has made

it clear it will be absolutely a priority for her when she is prime minister. she has put one of her key allies in thatjob. she minister. she has put one of her key allies in thatjob.— allies in that “oh. she is obviously t in: to allies in that “oh. she is obviously trying to set — allies in that job. she is obviously trying to set the _ allies in that job. she is obviously trying to set the tone _ allies in that job. she is obviously trying to set the tone for - allies in that job. she is obviously trying to set the tone for this - trying to set the tone for this government that she has assembled around her that she means business and she is starting right away, hence the early start for the cabinet this morning.- hence the early start for the cabinet this morning. what is interesting — cabinet this morning. what is interesting about _ cabinet this morning. what is interesting about the - cabinet this morning. what is interesting about the faces i cabinet this morning. what is l interesting about the faces that will be around the cabinet table is that a lot of them have changed. we have a lot of new people in top jobs. we have the most diverse top for ever stop the first time ever that the four top jobs in government, prime minister, foreign secretary, the chancellor and the home secretary, none of them are white men. but one of the things that i've picked up from a few conservative mps is there is a slight nervousness that liz truss decided to get rid of allies of rishi sunak, that maybe there won't be as many people challenging her around the cabinet table as some would argue it would be healthy in a

cabinet system. i think her thinking is that she needs her own people in there, doesn't want people turning up there, doesn't want people turning up at the cabinet table who three weeks ago where on bbc breakfast to say that her plans were immoral. it will be interesting to see just how that cabinet acts, whether it is as united as everybody expects it to be, and crucially what people who have got their newjobs decide to do with them. find have got their new 'obs decide to do with them. �* ., , ., ., , with them. and who is not here, as well. michael— with them. and who is not here, as well. michael gove, _ with them. and who is not here, as well. michael gove, priti _ with them. and who is not here, as well. michael gove, priti patel, - well. michael gove, priti patel, grant shapps. notjust the people who were supporting rishi sunak, but a lot of old faces have gone. x�*feah. a lot of old faces have gone. yeah, eah, a lot of old faces have gone. yeah, yeah, absolutely. _ a lot of old faces have gone. yeah, yeah, absolutely. liz _ a lot of old faces have gone. yeah, yeah, absolutely. liz truss - a lot of old faces have gone. yeah, yeah, absolutely. liz truss has - a lot of old faces have gone. yeah, i yeah, absolutely. liz truss has gone for a close—knit team of people who she thinks she can trust, who have been on a politicaljourney with her quite often. the perfect example is the man who will live next door, was a quite tank, the new chancellor. he was a political soulmate of liz truss —— kwasi kwarteng. he is putting the final touches to that

energy plan, he will speak to the bank of england governor about the economic crisis the country is facing. he is talking to top people from the city of london about what the government will do with power. and then we have prime minister's questions at noon today. i think that'll a different feel as we have got used to the flamboyant sea almost up borisjohnson. we saw it here around this time yesterday. i think it will be different for liz truss, she is more businesslike, she is maybe not as much of a political the article performer as boris johnson was. it will be interesting to see how she performs there. it will be interesting to see how keir starmer approaches it, as well, because he has been comforted with borisjohnson, no love lost between them. i wonder how he will see the challenge of taking on liz truss quite let's talk about that stuff at the moment, thank you very much indeed. prime minister's questions, liz truss versus keir starmer at noon today in the house of commons. it will be an opportunity for her

to set the tone of her leadership — and also allow the leader of the opposition to quiz her over the cost—of—living crisis. i'm joined now by the shadow foreign secretary, david lammy. good morning to you. we know there will be a big plan on energy bills, a bill freeze, prioritising the nhs. both are things you and labour have been calling for. i suppose you have to welcome them.— been calling for. i suppose you have to welcome them. well, of course, if liz truss announces _ to welcome them. well, of course, if liz truss announces that _ to welcome them. well, of course, if liz truss announces that she - to welcome them. well, of course, if liz truss announces that she is - liz truss announces that she is adopting labour a's plans, we welcome that, and the country will welcome that, and the country will welcome that, and the country will welcome that, but we really haven't got the detail. what is important, if she is going to freeze bills, is where is the money coming from? will it actually come from consumers, from bill payers down the line, or will it come from the oil and gas companies who have made huge profits, more than they imagined,

and can actually afford to fund it? we need to see the detail, i think, in the hours ahead, and second, it will she really go forward with those unfunded tax cuts which rishi sunak thought were wrong, and certainly we cannot understand because they are not at all going to benefit poorer people? i am guessing from that, those _ benefit poorer people? i am guessing from that, those are _ benefit poorer people? i am guessing from that, those are the _ benefit poorer people? i am guessing from that, those are the kinds - benefit poorer people? i am guessing from that, those are the kinds of - from that, those are the kinds of questions that keir starmer will put to her in the house of commons later on. how should he handle her? we understand it has been reported he has told his party not to underestimate liz truss. ~ underestimate liz truss. well, look, i have underestimate liz truss. well, look, i have worked _ underestimate liz truss. well, look, i have worked with _ underestimate liz truss. well, look, i have worked with liz _ underestimate liz truss. well, look, i have worked with liz truss - underestimate liz truss. well, look, i have worked with liz truss closelyi i have worked with liz truss closely over the past few months on issues like ukraine. we have disagreed passionately on the northern ireland protocol. keir starmer is a former director of public prosecutions! he knows how to handle all sorts of people, if you like, at the dispatch

box. he will be able to handle liz truss. he will put the question to her directly. she has said a lot of things over the course of her political career, and she certainly said a lot in the last eight months. much of it doesn't add up is the truth and so i suspect he will be very exacting. there is a lot to challenge liz truss on policy, frankly, and i'm sure he relishes the opportunity to get on with that, not just on the opportunity to get on with that, notjust on behalf of the labour party, but on behalf of the general public. what are we going to do about crime in britain? what are we going to do about those ambulance weights and how long it takes to see a gp? how seriously she dealing with the cuts in education, for example? those are the issues he will be prosecuting very firmly. but you know what _ prosecuting very firmly. but you know what i'm _ prosecuting very firmly. but you know what i'm getting _ prosecuting very firmly. but you know what i'm getting at - prosecuting very firmly. but you know what i'm getting at here. i know what i'm getting at here. because she is not borisjohnson, not as divisive, not as easy a target, possibly, as borisjohnson has been for keir starmer over the

last few months. maybe she is a more formidable person for you to handle stock not as theatrical but maybe that's place into her advantage, place to her advantage right now. it is a new dynamic for you as a labour to try to work out, isn't it? tom to try to work out, isn't it? two thins i to try to work out, isn't it? two things i would _ to try to work out, isn't it? two things i would watch _ to try to work out, isn't it? thorn things i would watch for, i think, with the new leader. first is, she is very ideological. she ran to the far right of the conservative party in her leadership campaign. she now has to appeal to the country, to the british people as they are, from all spectrums. can she do that? the second thing is, when people are finding it really, really hard, they are worrying how they are going to eat, frankly, whether they will keep theirjob in what looks like a long and deep recession. empathy it will be very important for liz truss. so, look, yes, that the theatre has

gone. in a way i welcome that. i think many of the public welcome that. the exit of borisjohnson. this is a sobering moment for serious times. some of what we have seen from the leadership campaign was a deadly unserious and it is right in the official opposition challenge the government very firmly on that and set out why it would be an alternative government. {sheen on that and set out why it would be an alternative government. given the seriousness — an alternative government. given the seriousness of _ an alternative government. given the seriousness of the _ an alternative government. given the seriousness of the situation - an alternative government. given the seriousness of the situation and - an alternative government. given the seriousness of the situation and the i seriousness of the situation and the emergency situation as far as energy bills, are you still calling for a general election now?- bills, are you still calling for a general election now? look, the chan . e general election now? look, the change that _ general election now? look, the change that this _ general election now? look, the change that this country - general election now? look, the change that this country needs i general election now? look, the| change that this country needs is general election now? look, the i change that this country needs is a change that this country needs is a change of party. certainly a change of government, and that can only come about with a general election. so we are absolutely on a sure footing for a general election whenever that is called, the sooner the better. pare whenever that is called, the sooner the better. �* , ., , whenever that is called, the sooner the better. �* , the better. are you still calling for want to _ the better. are you still calling for want to happen _ the better. are you still calling for want to happen now? - the better. are you still calling for want to happen now? do i the better. are you still calling i for want to happen now? do you the better. are you still calling - for want to happen now? do you think the british public really want that? look, of course we would like a

general election tomorrow because i think the british public are crying out for change. we get to put our case to the british public and the rules change in terms of media and there is a fairness in how you can communicate your message. but the truth is, as of yesterday, we have a new prime minister. let her make her case to the british public. we will continue to be exacting in our opposition but, of course, we would like a general election on behalf of the british people.— like a general election on behalf of the british people. david lammy for labour, the british people. david lammy for labour. thank— the british people. david lammy for labour, thank you _ the british people. david lammy for labour, thank you very _ the british people. david lammy for labour, thank you very much - the british people. david lammy for| labour, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. labour, thank you very much indeed forjoining us— labour, thank you very much indeed forjoining us._ here - labour, thank you very much indeed forjoining us._ here in i forjoining us. thank you. here in downin: forjoining us. thank you. here in downing street _ forjoining us. thank you. here in downing street it _ forjoining us. thank you. here in downing street it was _ pouring down with rain yesterday afternoon. just at the moment, as liz truss' kai was about to pull up for that maiden speech. she pulled round the block a few times, the skies cleared and thankfully she got her moment. but what about today? the cabinet ministers are about to arrive, we will —— will be see them

them compared with the morning in the southernmost counties of england but slow moving showers in parts of wales, northern england, scotland and northern ireland, but the north—east of scotland, as i said, after persistent heavy rain this morning, things will be much brighterfor the morning, things will be much brighter for the afternoon. as you head into the evening and overnight, showers will fade temporarily for some, but across the south of the country they will keep on going. some of those could be nasty at times. more rumbles of thunder, gusty winds through the english channel, that will set us up for another day of sunshine and showers. work persistent rain in north—east england friday, wettest conditions across parts of scotland and northern ireland. this weekend, a bit quieter, mist and fog in the morning, if you are showers in forecast. that's good to hear. thank you very much indeed. the mother of olivia pratt—korbel — the nine—year—old who was shot dead in liverpool last month — has called for the gunman to "own up". in a video filmed by merseyside police, cheryl korbel — who was also injured in the attack — paid tribute to her daughter. our correspondentjudith moritz has the latest.

i'm on it, as well. grabbing onto her dad for comfort, olivia pratt—korbel was spellbound by the christmas fair. eyes wide and full of questions. both of her parents have told of the depths of their loss. her father, john, said the little girl was his bright spark. and, still nursing her own injury from the gun attack which killed her daughter, olivia's mum, cheryl, spoke in a video released by merseyside police. she left her mark on everyone that she met. and she may well have only been nine, but she packed a lot in them nine years. cheryl korbel appealed directly to the gunman who burst into her home two weeks ago, and to anyone who may be helping him. you know you've done wrong, so you need to own up. like i've taught my kids — you do something wrong,

you own up to it. if anyone is hiding these guns, they need to speak up, because they need to be off these streets. no—one — no—one at all should have to go through this. four men have been arrested — one is suspected of olivia's murder, and three are being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. judith moritz, bbc news. our correspondent mairead smyth is in liverpool this morning. good morning. can you tell us what the latest is on the investigation? well, police have until this morning to either charge or release the four men they are questioning. in connection with olivia pratt—korbel�*s murder. they include a 34—year—old man arrested in area in the early hours of sunday

morning. he is being held on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder of olivia's mother cheryl korbel. cheryl the attempted murder of olivia's mother cheryl the three others on suspicion of —— of assisting an offender, one picked up on the m42 in the midlands on sunday evening. we are awaiting an update on that situation this morning, the extension of 36 hours given to police to question the men runs out this morning. as we know, it isjust over runs out this morning. as we know, it is just over two weeks and out since olivia pratt—korbel was shot at her home in the dovecot area of liverpool, and her mother injured in that attack. her dad has repeated the same message as cheryl, asking people with information to come forward. we know that two guns were used in that attack and cheryl has asked for anyone with information about where those guns might be to come forward because, as she says, those guns have to be taken off the

streets of merseyside. we will wait for any update on this investigation, but police will of course tell us whenever there is any update on that and the community has been left devastated, continuing to leave tributes to olivia, who lost her life, and her mother who was injured in the attack on monday the 22nd of august.— 22nd of august. thank you, that is mairead smyth _ 22nd of august. thank you, that is mairead smyth reporting - 22nd of august. thank you, that is mairead smyth reporting for- 22nd of august. thank you, that is mairead smyth reporting for us i 22nd of august. thank you, that is mairead smyth reporting for us at| mairead smyth reporting for us at life from liverpool this morning. the police watchdog is investigating the fatal shooting of a man by officers in south london on monday night. chris kaba died after a car chase in streatham hill. our reporter celestina 0lulode is at the scene. what can you tell us about mr kaba? people here are still trying to come to terms with what happened. we know that mr kaba was shot dead by police

on monday night, following a car chase just around the corner from here, and he has been described as loved and super kind. his family of course are still in shock by the news, and in fact bbc news has been told by the mother of mr kaba's fiance that he was due to become a father in just a few months' time. people here say they want answers. there is some anger because people here say they still have not been told enough information from the police, and the local mp has said the police should release more information so that people don't to draw their own conclusions. however, the iopc, the police watchdog, says it has launched its investigation and it says," it is natural that the community want answers quickly, but we have asked people not to

speculate." we know that a postmortem will take place in due course. , ., ., ~ postmortem will take place in due course. , . ., ~ the new school year always brings new challenges for headteachers — but this year they'll have the added pressure of soaring energy bills. our reporter ellie price has visited an academy in greater manchester to find out how staff are planning for winter. had all the walls painted. oh, wow! it's amazing what a new coat of paint can do. the teachers at oldham academy north will get all their students back in later this week. i'm always really excited at the start of a term... for rachael hallam, their headteacher, the class of 2023 isn't going to be an easy one. obviously, with the looming energy crisis, that is something that i am really concerned about. the changes to the examinations for 2023 are a concern for our students moving into year 11 this year. we're bracing ourselves potentially for another year where covid comes back. staff absence potentially over the winter months might be an issue.

dave, tell us about what you've done for co—curricular. rachael says the rising cost of living is biting. she says teachers have already left because they can't afford the higher petrol prices to commute. but it's the students and their parents in this already deprived area she worries about the most. some of our students come here and, for them, this is the only time that they have warmth, heating. and i do think that there's more and more emphasis on schools becoming centres to support families and becoming crisis centres almost to support with absolutely everything — you know, literacy at home and filling in forms, making sure that they've got the right information to be able to apply for free school meals. there's so much pressure now being put on schools across the country to provide all of these services, but we just don't have the funding to be able to do it. so do you feel like a crisis centre here at this school? i don't feel like we are a crisis centre yet, but i anticipate over the next few months and years that that is what we would be becoming for our families.

the academy trust which runs this school and 27 others, says energy bills have gone up 300% to 400%. the budget is finite, and therefore with the vast majority of our costs being in staffing, we will do what we can to be more efficient elsewhere. but there's potentially an inevitable impact on staffing to pay for increased energy costs. so to keep the lights on, you might have to make redundancies. we may have to look at our staffing levels, yeah. at st edmund's primary in kent, they've also had the paintbrushes out. they've also seen a hike in energy prices and, like most other schools, they're also having to find money for pay rises for teachers and support staff set by the government that they hadn't budgeted for this year. so we've been advised to budget for an increase of 192% for energy alone. staffing costs — there'll be an increase of between 5% to 9% for staff increases. whereas in the past we would have a buffer, this completely takes away that buffer and it means that other things that schools would normally pay for — exciting opportunities, experiences,

trips, visits, things like that — uniform for those families that need it — we haven't got that money to be able to push that out to parents. the department for education says it's increasing core funding by £4 billion this year alone — a 7%—per—pupil cash—terms boost — and providing schools in england with tools to help them get the best value for money from their resources, including recommended deals for energy costs. headteachers we've spoken to say that simply covers shortfalls from before, and the gloss of new classrooms will be taken off if you can't afford to heat them. ellie price, bbc news, oldham. liz truss says tackling the energy crisis is one of her top priorities — and its expected we could hear her plans to help households and businesses this week. and perhaps skills. nina is in birmingham. whatare and perhaps skills. nina is in birmingham. what are people telling you there —— perhaps schools. we

birmingham. what are people telling you there -- perhaps schools. we are exectin: you there -- perhaps schools. we are expecting that — you there -- perhaps schools. we are expecting that announcement - expecting that announcement tomorrow. the expectation is that the energy price cap per household for dual fuel use will be limited, but talking to businesses here this morning... we were talking to george perry, at the business there before, they said that already now having to make efficiency savings so they are saying for example to a number different customers together, do you mind if we close the deliveries together to save on refrigeration? do you mind if it all comes on the same day for you to make sure there is only one lorry going out instead of two or three? but they said there is only so far they can go. their concern is that the businesses they are provided for in hospitality, for example, are holding on by the tips of theirfingernails. the message from here in birmingham, and from leigh in greater manchester and the message from leeds on monday as they needs to be action for households and businesses. what ever happens

we've come through the pandemic. we've had a workforce through that time who have been amazing. they've worked in different places. they've dealt with the unknown, they've turned up every day and kind of really done what they needed to. they're now coming to work every day knowing that during that time we've also built up a really long waiting list of patients who need their planned care and that we need to kind of keep going and work as effectively as we can to get through that. three cycle lanes in central and south london that were put in temporarily during covid restrictions are to be made permanent. they were introduced at tooley street, between chelsea bridge and wandsworth and oval to elephant and castle. tfl said it led to a 25% rise in cyclists without delaying traffic. a consultation on another scheme in clapham runs until october. a mum from kent whose son has diabetes, says she'll forever be grateful to a charity which helped them. hypo hounds trained their dog to detect changes in blood sugar levels.

indie will now alert them by licking hands orjumping up. the charity has been nominated for bbc radio's make a difference awards. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking. there's no service on the bakerloo line between queen's park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the 0verground between watford junction and euston. severe delays on the elizabeth line. minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. some more wet weather last night, so it's quite damp underfoot to start the day. a few showers still lingering and also some brighter spells, too, this morning. visibility not too much of an issue. now, low pressure is still sitting out towards the west of us and that will be tracking eastwards slowly over the next couple of days or so, bringing the possibility of further heavy downpours, really quite slow moving showers towards the end of the working week. and then it will clear to leave us with a mostly dry and a rather settled weekend. but there could be some issues with mist and fog. now, for this morning, still a few showers around, but they should mostly clear away. there will be some sunny spells

around, fewer showers generally today than we've been seeing over the last couple of days or so. and they'll tend to be a little bit lighter as well. so a bit more isolated, particularly as we head through the afternoon. some sunny spells, still a noticeable southerly breeze and temperatures peaking in the late 20s in celsius. now, overnight tonight, we are likely to see this band of showery rain move in from the near continent. so it is going to be quite a wet night, particularly towards eastern areas i suspect. that will have mostly cleared by the time we get to thursday, but more thundery showers possible on thursday and friday. that's it for now. but head to out website for more stories including the 12—year—old hello, this is breakfast with me sally nugent in the studio and jon kay in downing street. ina in a couple of minutes we will be talking to the new deputy prime minister therese coffey in a couple

it is fine margins when you are playing against the best. and when we have opportunities you need to take them. again, that was evident today. we scored the the goal, we would put pressure on them and they could open up and we could take the game. it's different if you don't create chances or the opposition have you pinned back there is stuff you could learn but what we learned today we already knew. manchester city began their campaign in style — with a confident 4—0 win against sevilla. man of the moment erling haaland opened the scoring — before this nifty bit of footwork from phil foden put them two up. haaland went on to grab his second of the night, to bring him to 12 goals already for city this season. but chelsea suffered a shock defeat at dinamo zagreb. they went down 1—0, mislav orsic�* early goal proving the difference, leaving the chelsea boss far from impressed with his side's performance.

a lack of determination, even, a lack of determination, hunger, a lack of intensity, repetitive intensity, a lack of determination to win duels and to actually do the things on the highest level, on the toughest level. wales will be in the play—offs for next year's women's world cup in australia and new zealand. they secured second place in their qualifying group with a goalless draw against slovenia, as they chase theirfirst appearance at a women's major finals. more than 12,000 fans were in cardiff to see it — a record for a wales women's match. in their first game on home soil as european champions, england rounded off their campaign with a 10—0 win over luxembourg. already qualified for the world cup, eight different players scored in stoke. sarina weigman said their qualifying campaign, where they scored 80 goals and conceded none,

couldn't have gone better. northern ireland finished with a 3—1win in latvia — where they were helped by three own goals. northern ireland haven't qualified but they did finish on 19 points, a record for their senior women's side. scotland have already qualified for the play offs but they ended their group with a comfortable 6—0 win against the faroe islands. erin cuthbert with the pick of the goals. russia's karen khachanov has beaten nick kyrgios at the us open to reach his first grand slam semi—final. once again krygios was involved in an epic five set match and once again the australian's temper boiled over, here in the third set. he managed to level the match at two sets all and despite the pressure still found time to play his now trademark hot—dog shot. but in the end kachanov proved too strong for the wimbledon runner—up.

he'll face casper ruud of norway for a place in sunday's final. caroline garcia from france will face ons jabeur for a place in the women's final. garcia beat american teenager coco gauff in straight sets to reach her first grand slam semifinal. jabeur reched the last four after beating ajla tomljanovic. the pga championship gets underway at wentworth tomorrow, we promise you we would go straight back to downing street the moment we could, let's do that now. the sun is shining really rightly, a beautiful morning in central london, westminster, very different from yesterday afternoon in the pouring rain just before liz truss turned up to deliver her speech to accept the job and address the nation for the first time as prime minister. i wonder what the weather is going to

be like this morning? in the next hour, it could break any time, and members of the new cabinet will be turning up shortly to take on new roles and hear from turning up shortly to take on new roles and hearfrom liz turning up shortly to take on new roles and hear from liz truss about what her priorities are going to be, how she's going to address the energy crisis. and we can speak to one of them now right now on breakfast, we arejoined by one of them now right now on breakfast, we are joined by therese coffey, a new health secretary and deputy prime minister, to titles to you, ms coffey, congratulations on your big promotion. thank you. as to pity prime minister, someone very close to liz truss, you are good friends, can we talk about energy bills? —— as deputy prime minister? people are terrified about this winter and they want to know when they will find out about the help coming from government, can you assure them that tomorrow they will get that clarity? the assure them that tomorrow they will get that clarity?— get that clarity? the prime minister set out yesterday _ get that clarity? the prime minister set out yesterday on _ get that clarity? the prime minister set out yesterday on the _ get that clarity? the prime minister set out yesterday on the doorstep l get that clarity? the prime minister| set out yesterday on the doorstep of downing street has three main

into the stitch system. in terms of social care, there is a partnership between departments to bring more people into the care system in terms of people who are carers. but i'm conscious that we have an ageing population, as some of the clinical and care needs continue to increase, but i will be looking into that, into the detail of how we can how we would do what we said we would do. it is a question of money, a lot of this. borisjohnson and rishi sunak put up national insurance partly to pay for the nhs and social care. liz truss says she wants to reverse that increase. so how do you pay for the kind of investment and changes in the nhs and social care that you now say you wanted to deliver, where is the money coming from?— say you wanted to deliver, where is the money coming from? instead of havin: in the money coming from? instead of having in effect _ the money coming from? instead of having in effect a _ the money coming from? instead of having in effect a ring _ the money coming from? instead of having in effect a ring fenced - the money coming from? instead of having in effect a ring fenced levy, i having in effect a ring fenced levy, we will be finding that out of general taxation so the investment in health and social will stay exactly the same. but

wanted to avoid in terms of helping the public with their bills which will be welcomed by a lot of people but it seems to be a contradiction. how would you describe the kind of spending, saving, boosting prime minister, how does she square all this, what is she going to be? mr; this, what is she going to be? my views is this, what is she going to be? m views is liz this, what is she going to be? m1: views is liz on this, what is she going to be? is’i’il views is liz on prime this, what is she going to be? is’i1' views is liz on prime minister this, what is she going to be? is’i1 views is liz on prime minister is that she has got great intellect —— intellect and instinct, she is conscious of the challenges facing households and businesses right now. not after just the covid impact households and businesses right now. not afterjust the covid impact but the impact of the war in ukraine by putin on energy costs. that is why i believe we will have a comprehensive package on aspects of the energy this week. but she wants to govern as a conversant —— conservative which is why she is talking about manifesto commitment and she wants to reverse the tax that we set initially in 2019 we would not be

putting up taxes. she is a principled person but she is determined and she will have the delivery as the main focus of her premiership. delivery as the main focus of her premiership-— delivery as the main focus of her premiership. and for you and your new 'ob, premiership. and for you and your newjob. the _ premiership. and for you and your new job, the brick _ premiership. and for you and your new job, the brick -- _ premiership. and for you and your new job, the brick -- british - newjob, the brick —— british pregnancy advisory service say they are deeply concerned about your appointment because of your record on abortion rights. what do you say to them and to reassure women across the country who might be concerned about your position in this job? access to abortion is set out, that is already available right across the united kingdom. i have responsibility for england and that access will continue. but responsibility for england and that access will continue.— responsibility for england and that access will continue. but we have a news health _ access will continue. but we have a news health secretary, _ access will continue. but we have a news health secretary, you - access will continue. but we have a news health secretary, you voted i news health secretary, you voted against making at home abortion pills permanently available after covid, that kind of thing worries people like the be pas and others, you know that. i’m people like the be pas and others, you know that-— people like the be pas and others, you know that. i'm a democrat and the vote was _

pay for it all, the government isn't really wanting to engage with that at the moment because we know that tomorrow or later this week at this point, liz truss is going to spend tens of billions of pounds, borrow a lot of money to help pay bills. she is going to put defence spending up in the next few years, she is going to cut tax which means the government has less money coming in. and now we had to roast coffee saying that she wants to do the things that the last government —— we had therese coffey saying she wants to do the things that the last government promised without having the earmarked money for that. as we heard from therese coffey, she is not going into huge detail about how they are going to do that and when they are going to do that and when the money is coming from. i am sure the money is coming from. i am sure the are the money is coming from. i am sure they are holding _ the money is coming from. i am sure they are holding it _ the money is coming from. i am sure they are holding it back _ the money is coming from. i am sure they are holding it back or— the money is coming from. i am sure they are holding it back or tomorrow| they are holding it back or tomorrow and later this week. nick eardley here in a very sunny downing street, almost blinding this morning. a bit different from yesterday afternoon.

what has got in store for all of us in the uk? let's talk 22. —— let's talk to matt. there are showers which could be quite torrential at places of the rumbles of thunder and flashes of lightning. showers more expensive into northern ireland and an area of more persistent rain in north—eastern scotland sliding towards caithness, that could cause some minorflooding. it will improve into the afternoon. elsewhere if you start dry, quite mild as well, a few mist and fog patches but sunny spells will give way to more cloud through the day and it could be a day in which the cloud is ever—changing. sunshine one minute and the next heavy and thundery showers. if you towards the southern coast but quite windy as we will see across the south—west. temperatures down a little bit on yesterday but

still in the high teens and low to mid 20s. still warm enough out there. another warm night tonight, showers will by and large fade for the northern half of the country. one or two continuing overnight. lots to come across southern areas. rumbles of thunder, flashes of lightning, heavy rain in east anglia into tomorrow. the tomorrow it will look like we will see the area of rain slide at the north sea coast, heavy and thundery showers towards the southern half of england and wales, slow moving to england and wales. showers breaking out across scotland and northern ireland as we head through the day and temperatures continue to slide. the author cressida cowell, who's behind the hugely popular how to train your dragon series, usually takes around one year to finish a book. but the first words of her new novel were written a quarter of a century ago. she's here now to tell us more.

that makes me feel so old! 25 years ago, i know! it is before i wrote how to train your dragon as well. it has been in there for a long time. a has been in there for a long time. long, long time. has been in there for a long time. a long, long time. and _ has been in there for a long time. a long, long time. and the _ has been in there for a long time. a long, long time. and the opening i long, long time. and the opening words for this _ long, long time. and the opening words for this book _ long, long time. and the opening words for this book are _ long, long time. and the opening words for this book are magical, l words for this book are magical, they paint a picture of a magical world, but it's very different to what your fans are used to. tell us about it and tell us about what happened 25 years ago. it is about it and tell us about what happened 25 years ago. it is an out of this world _ happened 25 years ago. it is an out of this world of _ happened 25 years ago. it is an out of this world of fantasy _ happened 25 years ago. it is an out of this world of fantasy adventure. | of this world of fantasy adventure. and it's set in modern times to the first time because otherwise it would have been vikings again! this is set in modern times with a family that has a magical secret. so the family have old—fashioned magical powers, telekinesis, your regular stuff. 1 , powers, telekinesis, your regular stuff. , ., . powers, telekinesis, your regular stuff. ., , powers, telekinesis, your regular stuff. , ., ., , , but powers, telekinesis, your regular. stuff._ but modern stuff. just normal stuff! but modern times don't really _ stuff. just normal stuff! but modern times don't really like _ stuff. just normal stuff! but modern times don't really like magic. - stuff. just normal stuff! but modern times don't really like magic. one i times don't really like magic. one of these kids has a really cool magical gift, i love writing things,

who wouldn't want to have a magical power? the kid draws maps and fantasy worlds, used to love drawing maps, but this is different. a piece of paper has two sides. on one side he draws the fantasy world, on the other, he draws, he knows well, and he shows the crossing points between the welts. —— he draws somewhere he knows well. and the then shows the crossing points between the worlds. these are the characters from the book, there is a magicalfamily, and they have step siblings, the two families are fighting. the one thing they agreement is their baby sister. and when they are stolen and taken into an alternative world, the two families starts to work together to rescue her. and there are robots, i was very inspired here by programmes

like hitchhikers guide and tomorrow's world and doctor who. there are cute little malfunctioning robot and very exciting and scary robots, trying to get hold of the kid who has the gift. and it's just a wonderful world for children to imagine and be in. find a wonderful world for children to imagine and be in.— a wonderful world for children to imagine and be in. and the welts, obviously. — imagine and be in. and the welts, obviously, describe _ imagine and be in. and the welts, obviously, describe this _ imagine and be in. and the welts, obviously, describe this amazing i obviously, describe this amazing world, but also you have brought with you —— the words, you have brought with you something significant. this is the alternative access. ., , significant. this is the alternative access. . , ., , significant. this is the alternative access. ., , it significant. this is the alternative access-_ it is - significant. this is the alternative access._ it is a i significant. this is the alternative| access._ it is a bit access. that is the map. it is a bit battered. — access. that is the map. it is a bit battered. it _ access. that is the map. it is a bit battered. it is _ access. that is the map. it is a bit battered, it is a _ access. that is the map. it is a bit battered, it is a work— access. that is the map. it is a bit battered, it is a work of— access. that is the map. it is a bit battered, it is a work of art, i access. that is the map. it is a bit battered, it is a work of art, isn'tl battered, it is a work of art, isn't it? what is it and what is in it? mi; it? what is it and what is in it? my books it? what is it and what is in it? 1:11 books are all very visual. because kids are often much cleverer than their reading ability so this is my sketchbook, this is my ideas book. this is one of the creatures they meet in the fantasy world that they go to visit. and the alternative

atlas is what katie creates, the magical atlas which enables them to do the crossing points in the world. i was writing this during the pandemic which explains why this book found its moment, wouldn't that have been a cool gift, to be able to have been a cool gift, to be able to have a crossing point. to have been a cool gift, to be able to have a crossing point.— have a crossing point. to go somewhere _ have a crossing point. to go somewhere else! _ have a crossing point. to go somewhere else! i- have a crossing point. to go somewhere else! i make i have a crossing point. to go i somewhere else! i make them have a crossing point. to go - somewhere else! i make them very illustrated with _ somewhere else! i make them very illustrated with because _ somewhere else! i make them very illustrated with because kids - somewhere else! i make them very illustrated with because kids are i somewhere else! i make them very illustrated with because kids are soj illustrated with because kids are so clever but we are competing against the best tv, the best internet in the best tv, the best internet in the world. so in order to get kids reading, i make the books really visual, i make them stand to read aloud. to get kids reading —— i make them fun to read aloud. it's so important to get kids reading, i know wonderfulfilms have been made of how to train your dragon but we have got to get kids reading as well. 50

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay here in downing street on another big day in westminster — and sally nugent in the studio. our headlines today. a new top team for the new pm — liz truss will meet her cabinet in number 10 in the next half hour, after a major reshuffle of key roles last night. then — at lunch time — to parliament for the first prime minister's questions, facing opposition mps. she has promised to put the economy and the energy crisis at the top of her agenda. what business here want to know is what it will look like. we break down what we know for them

and for you. also this morning... the mother of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel appeals to the gunman who killed her to hand himself in. you know you've done wrong. so you need to own up. like i've taught my kids. on their return to the champions league group stage, celtic were left to rue missed chances in front of a buoyant home crowd, as they were beaten by holders real madrid. another day to have waterproofs on standby. some persistent rain in northern scotland which should clear but elsewhere sunshine and passing thundery showers. i will have all your details in the full forecast here on breakfast. hello, good morning. it's wednesday the 7th of september. it's all change. the change starts right now. the new prime minister will set out her energy plans to cabinet

when she meets them for the first time this morning. who are they? liz truss rewarded her key allies with seniorjobs in a major reshuffle last night, hours after taking office. we have seen in the last few minutes... who do we have? the new education secretary, kit malthouse, heading in. the first to arrive. just beforehand resort liz truss' official photographer going into capture those moments —— we saw liz truss's photographer. we will hear their priorities and how they will deal with the energy prices in particular. after the cabinet meeting she heads down the road to the house of commons to face keir starmer at herfirst the house of commons to face keir starmer at her first prime minister's questions. more movement? , no, just a truck bringing lunch, i think. they will a working lunch, i think. our political correspondent, ben wright, has this report. elected by tory party members after borisjohnson's downfall, liz truss entered number 10 promising a fresh start. but with energy bills soaring

and a recession forecast, it's going to be tough. i will get britain working again. i have a bold plan to grow the economy through tax cuts and reform. i will cut taxes to reward hard work, and boost business—led growth and investment. we shouldn't be daunted by the challenges we face. as strong as the storm may be, i know that the british people are stronger. our country was built by people who get things done. we have huge reserves of talent, of energy, and determination. i am confident that together we can ride out the storm. the handover of power took place in the highlands. liz truss met the queen at balmoral castle in aberdeenshire. after accepting borisjohnson's resignation, the queen appointed the 15th prime minister of her reign — the country's fourth conservative

leader in just six years. afterflying back to london, liz truss was driven to downing street, where torrential rain had threatened to wash out her speech. confident of victory for many weeks, the new prime minister had already planned her cabinet. herfriend kwasi kwarteng is chancellor — he will have to find billions of pounds to help people with energy bills. james cleverly becomes foreign secretary, and suella braverman is in charge of the home office. jacob rees—mogg becomes business secretary, and therese coffey — one of liz truss' closest allies — is the new health secretary. we've got priorities a, b, c, d — ambulances, backlogs, care, d — doctors and dentists — and we're going to work through that and we'll make sure that we are delivering for patients. liz truss begins this job at the toughest of moments, and she knows there is very little time to prove she can grip the challenges facing the country. ben wright, bbc news, westminster.

so, when they head into downing street and have that first cabinet meeting this morning, what will liz truss tell that cabinet? we know what her priorities are, what she stood here and said yesterday afternoon, but what about the detail, how do they deliver those broad themes? nick eardley is here with us. very bright and sunny here after getting soaked yesterday afternoon. i after getting soaked yesterday afternoon. ., �* ,, ., afternoon. i don't know where it has one. do afternoon. i don't know where it has gone- do you _ afternoon. i don't know where it has gone. do you feel— afternoon. i don't know where it has gone. do you feel at _ afternoon. i don't know where it has gone. do you feel at home? - afternoon. i don't know where it has gone. do you feel at home? yeah. i gone. do you feel at home? yeah. what did she _ gone. do you feel at home? yeah. what did she tell— gone. do you feel at home? yeah. what did she tell them? _ gone. do you feel at home? yeah. what did she tell them? the i gone. do you feel at home? yeah. what did she tell them? the first i what did she tell them? the first thin she what did she tell them? the first thing she will— what did she tell them? the first thing she will do _ what did she tell them? the first thing she will do at _ what did she tell them? the first thing she will do at that - what did she tell them? the first thing she will do at that meeting| what did she tell them? the first i thing she will do at that meeting is set out the energy plan, how she will help people with their bills in the next few months and how she will try to secure the uk energy supply to try to avoid crises in the future. we know roughly what the plan is, tens of billions of pounds spent, we think people will face a cap on their bills, the exact level

of that is being finalised this morning. that will be the focus of this meeting today. it is the thing she has put top of the agenda. along with economic growth and the nhs, as we were hearing from therese coffey about half an hour ago. that is something liz truss cares a lot about but... and this is really crucial, it is easy to stand here and your first day as prime minister and your first day as prime minister and say here is what i want to do and say here is what i want to do and my motto will be deliver, deliver, deliver, but the big question, as we all know, is how you do it, that is what we are still to hear from do it, that is what we are still to hearfrom liz do it, that is what we are still to hear from liz truss.— do it, that is what we are still to hear from liz truss. their families across the — hear from liz truss. their families across the country _ hear from liz truss. their families across the country this _ hear from liz truss. their families across the country this morning, i across the country this morning, business owners across the country this morning, thinking about those energy bills coming through the post over the next few weeks and thinking when will i get that information? when will i know what help will or will not be available. we are being told later this week. probably tomorrow. that is the assumption that liz truss will set something

out essentially in parliament tomorrow, where she talks about those plans. my understanding is the new chancellor, who lives next door, kwasi kwarteng is meeting with the bank of england to talk about this this morning, meeting with top people in finance sector in london, he will be finalising the plan. but this is an issue that will really dominate for liz truss, along with some others. the other thing she has to think about today is the mood in her party. she has gone for quite a loyalist cabinet. the figures we will see walking through that black door over the next half hour or so are people who she trusts. a lot of people who agree with her. there are some conservative mps who are slightly nervous that there isn't enough of a broad tent being built in there. rishi sunak supporters, for example, have been largely pushed out to.— for example, have been largely ushed out to. ., ,, i. , . pushed out to. thank you very much indeed. pushed out to. thank you very much indeed- we — pushed out to. thank you very much indeed. we will _ pushed out to. thank you very much indeed. we will be _ pushed out to. thank you very much

a long period of campaigning, and you have to shift from campaigning to governing which are very different. you have to be seen to have a plan that is going to deliver and be very clear on that. i think it's really important that a lot of her aides who have been in campaign mode now need to get into number 10, be clear what their strategy is, clear on what their roles are, stick together and focus. more difficult is they have come into tenneco with incredible speed. things are moving left, right and centre and you can't really be prepared for it. it is so intense —— coming into ten. you really be prepared for it. it is so intense -- coming into ten. you can have a plan — intense -- coming into ten. you can have a plan that _ intense -- coming into ten. you can have a plan that you _ intense -- coming into ten. you can have a plan that you have _ intense -- coming into ten. you can have a plan that you have to - intense -- coming into ten. you can have a plan that you have to have i have a plan that you have to have plans b, c, d, e. have a plan that you have to have plans b. c. d. e— plans b, c, d, e. exactly. mike t son plans b, c, d, e. exactly. mike tyson says— plans b, c, d, e. exactly. mike tyson says everybody - plans b, c, d, e. exactly. mike tyson says everybody has i plans b, c, d, e. exactly. mike tyson says everybody has a i plans b, c, d, e. exactly. mike. tyson says everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. politics is like that. you have a plan, you plan to do something today, you are clear, spent maybe a couple of weeks working on a speech

and then an event hits you from the field and you have to be able to react very quickly. what is interesting about what liz truss will saying last night in his speech was she set out in three areas. the first is what she wants to go down in history as. she wants to reform the economy, cut taxes and grow the economy. time will tell if she can do that. the other thing she picked out, obviously the energy crisis, but also the nhs, and i think she realises both of those things could be electoral kryptonite for her if she doesn't get them right. she is going to try to really focus on the next days and weeks are making sure there is a proper plan and those things can be changed and improved. she said during the tory leadership campaign several times, she said during the tory leadership campaign severaltimes, "i she said during the tory leadership campaign several times, "i am not the slickest authorities." she realise that borisjohnson's theatrical speeches, that is not her style. she has been teased on social media for some of his speeches in the past. how does she govern, can she turn out to her advantage, her

style? she turn out to her advantage, her s le? ,, she turn out to her advantage, her 5 le? ,, . ., , she turn out to her advantage, her s le? ,, , ., she turn out to her advantage, her 5 le? ,, , ., ., ~' ., style? she can try to make it to her advantae style? she can try to make it to her advantage to _ style? she can try to make it to her advantage to a _ style? she can try to make it to her advantage to a point. _ style? she can try to make it to her advantage to a point. remember i style? she can try to make it to her i advantage to a point. remember when gordon brown was made prime minister, they said not a lot of flash, just gordon. he wasn't the flashiest of people and maybe was the person you want to go for a drink with. it is an issue for liz truss. you need to be create you are solving the problems of the country but also try to inspire and i think yesterday there were not any telling phrases, things that really clarified the mission. she used the phrase "aspiration nation" which i think was used ten years ago. not necessarily a huge disadvantage, she can say, look, i am a very practical person, i think it's quite hard when you tried to bring people along with you tried to bring people along with you in very difficult times not to have a bit of inspiration, as well. she has used social media a lot in the past. people have referred to her instagram account. do you think thatis her instagram account. do you think that is another way she can maybe

bypass the traditional oratory of politics and try to connect directly with voters? i politics and try to connect directly with voters?— with voters? i think that's right. social media _ with voters? i think that's right. social media has _ with voters? i think that's right. social media has completely i with voters? i think that's right. i social media has completely changed the game. it allows the politicians to speak to the public directly and unmediated and she has used that well. it is one tool, but not the only one, and the reality that still tens of millions of people get politics mediated through programmes like this so you have to be able to do interviews well and be able to do speeches well because they will be clipped down and shown on programmes like this one. {lila clipped down and shown on programmes like this one. 0k, we will technically _ like this one. 0k, we will technically out _ like this one. 0k, we will technically out of- like this one. 0k, we will technically out of that - like this one. 0k, we will - technically out of that conversation this morning and put it on other programmes! sir craig oliver, thank you forjoining us. while my back has been turned, and i'm slightly blinded by the sunshine, we have had more comings and goings of the new environment secretary come in, the new leader of house of lords, the trickle of cabinet ministers is now arriving. we trickle of cabinet ministers is now arrivinu. ~ ., ., , ., , trickle of cabinet ministers is now arrivinu. ., ., , ., arriving. we have not seen any of the big players —

been pushed out. mr alice is one of the few, or the only example in the full cabinet —— mr ellis. he isn't evenin full cabinet —— mr ellis. he isn't even in the full cabinet. it is strange when you have cabinet members and people who also attend cabinet. a slight difference that probably only makes sense to people in their! that is the thinking behind it. he is one of the few people who will be at that cabinet table who did not back liz truss in the leadership race. it is table who did not back liz truss in the leadership race.— the leadership race. it is funny because as _ the leadership race. it is funny because as well _ the leadership race. it is funny because as well as _ the leadership race. it is funny because as well as those - the leadership race. it is funny i because as well as those familiar political faces who will be around the cabinet table, you have regular members of downing street staff who keep the place running, civil service, political staff, the cleaners, clerks and secretaries. they are all being photographed going in and the photographers cannot resist it. a, going in and the photographers cannot resist it.— going in and the photographers cannot resist it. a lot of them are new. cannot resist it. a lot of them are new- there _ cannot resist it. a lot of them are new- there is— cannot resist it. a lot of them are new. there is therese _ cannot resist it. a lot of them are new. there is therese coffey - cannot resist it. a lot of them are new. there is therese coffey it i cannot resist it. a lot of them are i new. there is therese coffey it was on the programme half an hour ago. she hasjust turned up. didn't give much detail when she was on 45 minutes ago. the new deputy prime

the nine—year—old who was shot dead in liverpool last month — has called for the gunma n to "own up" in a video filmed by merseyside police, cheryl korbel — who was also injured in the attack — paid tribute to her daughter. our correspondentjudith moritz has the latest. i'm on it, as well. grabbing onto her dad for comfort, olivia pratt—korbel was spellbound by the christmas fair. eyes wide and full of questions. both of her parents have told of the depths of their loss. her father, john, said the little girl was his bright spark. and, still nursing her own injury from the gun attack which killed her daughter, olivia's mum, cheryl, spoke in a video released by merseyside police. she left her mark on everyone that she met. and she may well have only been nine, but she packed a lot in them nine years. cheryl korbel appealed directly to the gunman who burst into her home two weeks ago, and to anyone who may be helping him.

you know you've done wrong, so you need to own up. like i've taught my kids — you do something wrong, you own up to it. if anyone is hiding these guns, they need to speak up, because they need to be off these streets. no—one — no—one at all should have to go through this. four men have been arrested — one is suspected of olivia's murder, and three are being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. judith moritz, bbc news. our correspondent mairead smyth is in liverpool this morning. good morning. usually emotional interview released by merseyside police. what has been the reaction and what has been the latest on the investigation? —— hugely emotional

christmas markets a short time ago, enjoying their time together. again, he appealed to anyone with information to come forward to ensure no other family should information to come forward to ensure no otherfamily should go through what his has gone through over the last two weeks. police are still appealing for anyone with information to come forward. thank ou ve information to come forward. thank you very much _ information to come forward. thank you very much indeed. _ information to come forward. thank you very much indeed. that - information to come forward. thank you very much indeed. that is - you very much indeed. that is mairead smyth in liverpool. time to get the weather. it has been having quite a big impact on the news of the last 2a hours. yes, we saw torrential rain behind me in castle. the weather didn't want to be upstaged. —— in balmoral over a month of rain fell in 2a hours. more rain here at the moment. a pretty wet if not thoroughly wet start across the north—east of scotland. heavy rain has pushed in,

a risk of flooding. it will brighten up a risk of flooding. it will brighten up later. you can see scattered around southend west some showers, some becoming heavy and they develop more widely in mind through the morning and into the afternoon. they were pushing across southern and western areas in the breeze, ever changing skies, sunshine and showers, sunshine and showers. some of you will avoid the showers altogether and it will feel pleasant enoughin altogether and it will feel pleasant enough in the sunshine. hopefully these showers become few in number along the south coast if you have plans as we head towards school pick up. still some showers dotted around, a rumble of thunder, persistent rain to the north of the western isles but it means across the north—east of the mainland after that there are a little excited at the moment, things will brighten up. quite queasy through today and tonight, window to the south and across the south we continue to see showers through the night, some heavy infantry, more persistent rain from east anglia sliding into parts

of east yorkshire and lincolnshire. mild enough starts tomorrow but over the next few days still some more rain at times, this weekend some work done aqua mist and fog, a little less rain. we look forward to that, thank you. since its launch four years ago, the podcast you, me and the big c has been a source of inspiration and support for so many people living with cancer. now its hosts — including the late dame deborahjames — have been given honourary doctorates for their incredible work. tim muffett was at the ceremony. we are three friends, we're also bloggers, we all have one thing in common — we all have or we have had cancer. that's all we really wanted to do — was kind of go, you think you know cancer, but this is actually cancer — we're cancer — and let's talk about it. lauren mahon, rachael bland and dame deborahjames — the original presenters of you, me and the big c. all three had been diagnosed with cancer when they began their podcast in 2018. it was candid, informal,

funny and honest. did you ever envisage the impact it would have? i don't think we ever could have imagined, planned, predicted the success and the impact of the ow _ i think that's what makes it so special. we just got into a room and talked and shared our lived experience. lauren is at london's guildhall to receive an honorary doctorate degree from the institute of cancer research and the university of london. also being honoured, rachael bland's widower steve bland — who became one of the presenters when his wife died — and dame deborah james. .. # baby, baby, baby, when you... ..who's to receive her award posthumously. # when you touch me like this. # and when you hold me like that... first thing is, deborah would have loved to have been here, because she'd love to be surrounded by scientists. and she loves beautiful buildings like this. the chance to have been here doing it. and she would have given a lovely speech — which might have been written five minutes before she came here —

in her normal style! but i think it would have been brilliant. it's coming up to almost three months since she died. how are you? i find it quite tough because there's more things i know that she would love to be at, and... things like the first day of school for the children. she loved that. she loved the new pens and pencils to buy. that's tough for them, tough for us. but we will continue to be her positivity, if you like. what do you think deborah would make of this, and what do you think rachael would make of this? ithink... i think both of them would be absolutely thrilled if they were here. i know deborah particularly was passionate about science and about innovation. you know, it was science and innovation that kept her alive, really, for so long. deborah, rachael and i started something together, and now i can't just turn round to them and go,

"oh, do you remember that time?" or, you know, share any more experiences. and that feels quite empty... ..but alsojust hits home why it's so important to do the work that we do, because we don't want to lose any more rachaels and debs. hello and welcome to you, me and the big c. the institute of cancer research credits the podcast with having boosted the number of people checking potential cancer symptoms early — similar to what the nhs dubbed "the fry—turnbull effect" following stephen fry's and bill turnbull�*s openness about their prostate cancer diagnoses. before his death last week, bill's actions were credited with having saved many lives. applause. i'm, like, gobsmacked. it's one of the greatest honours of my life to be awarded this doctorate. there must be such a mixed feeling, isn't it? because your two original co—presenters aren't here. yeah, it...beggars belief, really. and it has such a bittersweet feeling to the day, because we would... deb knew she was going to get this and would have loved to have been here.

and we'd have loved rachael to know and be here and be part of it. these are the people that are creating the drugs, that are finding these new breakthroughs, and itjust feels unbelievable to be sitting in a room and being honoured with a doctorate! it's hoped the you, me and the big c podcast will continue in the coming months. but, for now, a chance to reflect on the extraordinary impact of its hosts — past and present. tim muffett, bbc news. congratulations to all of them who received that on. let's go back to jon in downing street. good morning. good morning. it has been frantic because they have all been racing to get inside ten for the first cabinet meeting. all those ministers appointed last night have raced in there to sit around the table for there to sit around the table for the first time as a group to hear from their new leader, the new prime minister, liz truss, at what she

wants them to do, how she wants them to deliver her priorities. nick eardley is here. pretty much all here? j eardley is here. pretty much all here? ~' ., , eardley is here. pretty much all here? ~' ., ., , ., here? i think the vast ma'ority are. you don't here? i think the vast ma'ority are. you don-t want t here? i think the vast ma'ority are. you don't want to h here? i think the vast ma'ority are. you don't want to be _ here? i think the vast majority are. you don't want to be late _ here? i think the vast majority are. you don't want to be late for - here? i think the vast majority are. you don't want to be late for your. you don't want to be late for your first cabinet meeting. we have had all the senior ministers who have gone on in the last few minutes. we are talking about energy for a good reason, it is the biggest crisis liz truss faces, but those ministers walking through those doors this morning faced a series of big challenges, daunting in trays, we havejust challenges, daunting in trays, we have just had a chance like kwasi kwarteng. his biggest challenge will be the economy. he is walking up the street and will talk to the bank of england governor later this morning, holding talks with top people from finance secretary. he will have to think a lot about ukraine and how to manage that crisis over the next few months. china, a lot of concern about china. suella braverman, the new home secretary. i know a lot of

people ask why we shout things at ministers when they arrive. i asked what she was going to do... you got a response! — what she was going to do... you got a response! a _ what she was going to do... you got a response! a rare _ what she was going to do... you got a response! a rare triumph. - what she was going to do... you got a response! a rare triumph. one - what she was going to do... you got a response! a rare triumph. one ofl a response! a rare triumph. one of the thins a response! a rare triumph. one of the things i — a response! a rare triumph. one of the things i know _ a response! a rare triumph. one of the things i know she _ a response! a rare triumph. one of the things i know she will- a response! a rare triumph. one of the things i know she will be - the things i know she will be focused on because her team have told me is a small boat crossings on the channel i asked what she would do about that, how she would deal with it. she said there will be a lot of hard work and one of the things she has also talked about is trying to bring immigration as a whole down. that is one of her priorities. there is a lot for this government to think about, to talk about. it is worth just mentioned, though, that a lot of those ministers we have just been talking about where in the last government. 50, you know, they have newjobs, so, you know, they have newjobs, new priorities, they have their own things they want to do, but they were here a few weeks ago, worked some of them a few months ago, and they held some responsibility for what has happened in the past. it is a new government, a new cabinet, but not the new party in power. that

a new government, a new cabinet, but not the new party in power.— not the new party in power. that was the theme we _ not the new party in power. that was the theme we were _ not the new party in power. that was the theme we were hearing - not the new party in power. that was the theme we were hearing from - not the new party in power. that was i the theme we were hearing from david lammy earlier about how they would tackle a new government, new prime minister in prime minister's questions, how labour it would tackle that. you did well to get a response from suella braverman because i don't think anyone else did, despite lots of questions being shouted out. smiles for the cameras, pictures on doorstep, but most of them staying mum. maybe a lot of them staying mum. maybe a lot of them don't know exactly what liz truss expect them to do. let's get out of westminster. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. tributes have been paid to a man who was shot by police in south london on monday night. chris kaba, who was 23, died after a police chase in streatham hill. his fiance's mother said he was months away from becoming a dad and was studying to become an architect. the police watchdog, is investigating. wards are being repurposed

in london's hospitals to help reduce the number of people waiting more than a year for operations. it's one of the measures being tried at hammersmith hospital, which is also recruiting specialist nurses, and using robots. the imperial nhs trust says it's doing all it can to deal with backlogs from the last two years. we've come through the pandemic. we've had a workforce through that time who have been amazing. they've worked in different places. they've dealt with the unknown, they've turned up every day and kind of really done what they needed to. they're now coming to work every day knowing that during that time we've also built up a really long waiting list of patients who need their planned care and that we need to kind of keep going and work as effectively as we can to get through that. three cycle lanes in central and south london that were put in temporarily during covid restrictions are to be made permanent. they were introduced at tooley street, between chelsea bridge and wandsworth and oval to elephant and castle. tfl said it led to a 25% rise in cyclists without delaying traffic. a consultation on another scheme in clapham runs until october.

a mum from kent whose son has diabetes says she'll forever be grateful to a charity which helped them. hypo hounds trained their dog to detect changes in blood sugar levels. indie will now alert them by licking hands orjumping. the charity has been nominated for bbc�*s make a difference awards. travel now. there's no service on the bakerloo line between queen's park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the 0verground between watford junction and euston and between willesdenjunction and richmond. severe delays on the elizabeth line. minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. now the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good morning. some more wet weather last night, so it's quite damp underfoot to start the day. a few showers still lingering and also some brighter spells, too, this morning. visibility not too much of an issue. now, low pressure is still sitting out towards the west of us and that will be tracking eastwards slowly over the next couple of days or so, bringing the possibility of further heavy downpours, really quite slow moving showers towards the end of the working week. and then it will clear to leave us with a mostly dry and a rather settled weekend.

but there could be some issues with mist and fog. now, for this morning, still a few showers around, but they should mostly clear away. there will be some sunny spells around, fewer showers generally today than we've been seeing over the last couple of days or so. and they'll tend to be a little bit lighter as well. so a bit more isolated, particularly as we head through the afternoon. some sunny spells, still a noticeable southerly breeze and temperatures peaking in the late 20s in celsius. now, overnight tonight, we are likely to see this band of showery rain move in from the near continent. so it is going to be quite a wet night, particularly towards eastern areas i suspect. that will have mostly cleared by the time we get to thursday, but more thundery showers possible on thursday and friday. that's it for now. but lots more on our website including the 12—year—old drummer who shared a stage with the dave grohl. i'm backjust after nine.

good morning, larry! nota the whole thing. as ever! po faced! good morning, larry! not a flicker of the whiskers. we have got our umbrellas this morning —— just in case the rain returned but so far we have not needed them. there is leaders have come in on foot is led by vehicle so we have had a good look at them as they go in. —— instead of by vehicle. they didn't say very much but they are sitting down to find out what liz truss wants them to do. we understand she is laying out her plan on energy bills, the cost of living crisis, how she will bring down bills for customers at home and of course for businesses. some businesses are facing astronomical bills and some fear they could go to the wall. how much support is coming and when will they find out? nina is in birmingham

january. that would be great for households. but it comes at a cost, estimated at around 100 billion per year. let's give that a comparison for context, a little less than half than what was spent in support schemes in the first year in covid, a lot of money. the wider question is how that will be paid. yesterday that speculation that all of us will be paying a little bit more over ten or 15 years to take the spike out of the peak over the next 18 months or so, now it is understood the overall burden will simply be put on top of government debt which as we know is already at record levels. let's talk to another steve about how soon action needs to be done by. how much are your bill is going to go up in your coffeehouses? £31!" are your bill is going to go up in your coffeehouses? our electricity will be doubling _

we expect to happen? let's go to couege we expect to happen? let's go to college green withjohn maguire. it is serene here i must say but as you say, at 12 noon, when big ben strikes noon, things will kick off in the chamber here for pmqs. the new prime minister's first day in thejob and herfirst new prime minister's first day in the job and her first go at pmqs which is famously it is fair to say over the years prime ministers have said is not theirfavourite part of the week. good morning, a familiar face on the programme, you have prepped both prime ministers and people standing at the dispatch box and leaders of the opposition for pmqs. how do you do it? and leaders of the opposition for pmos. how do you do it? it’s and leaders of the opposition for pmqs. how do you do it? it's going to be a big — pmqs. how do you do it? it's going to be a big moment— pmqs. how do you do it? it's going to be a big moment for— pmqs. how do you do it? it's going to be a big moment for liz - pmqs. how do you do it? it's going to be a big moment for liz truss i pmqs. how do you do it? it's going| to be a big moment for liz truss but also the keir starmer, he has been used to going up against boris johnson and he will have to change his tactics. traditionally people making their first outings at pmqs often have quite a good first outing. there is often a novelty

value about it, people will be interested to see what liz truss will say. they will have often prepared a good crack against their opposite number. a couple of good jokes. i suspect he will attack keir starmerfor jokes. i suspect he will attack keir starmer for the fact that the labour party has not produced a female leader and she is the conservatives third leader. given the gravity of the broader situation at the moment and the fact that we're all waiting for this big energy announcement which we think is going to come tomorrow, i think mood we will see become quite serious. he will press her very heavily about the package and who is going to pay for it. and she will want to send out a message of reassurance that the conservative party have a plan. i imagine there will be some knock—about but they will be some knock—about but they will move to the economy pretty quickly. it will move to the economy pretty tuickl . , ., _ ., quickly. it will be quite easy for her to play _ quickly. it will be quite easy for herto play a — quickly. it will be quite easy for her to play a straight _ quickly. it will be quite easy for her to play a straight bat - quickly. it will be quite easy for her to play a straight bat by - her to play a straight bat by saying, wait until tomorrow, that is when you will see more meat on the bones and more detail about the

track this autumn. and the public are incredibly frightened right now by this crippling cost of living crisis and i think it's going to be incumbent on all new cabinet ministers to stop playing to this narrow party set of interests that has happened over the leadership contest and pivot out to the country. contest and pivot out to the count . f , , ., contest and pivot out to the count .g , ., ., ,, contest and pivot out to the count .g ,., ., contest and pivot out to the count .g ., , contest and pivot out to the count. ., , . country. ayesha, thank you very much indeed for your— country. ayesha, thank you very much indeed for your time _ country. ayesha, thank you very much indeed for your time and _ country. ayesha, thank you very much indeed for your time and expertise i indeed for your time and expertise this morning. think about liz truss“s a newjob title, she is the prime minister says she has to be across all of those briefs, across all of those departments to a certain extent. there will be big decisions to be made. big also here at the palace of westminster later on behind me. i was looking and watching the sun catching a bit of the tilted elements of the building, a bit of sunshine and a bit of cloud, what does the rest of the day have in store for us? it would be a bit of everything, one of those days. the weather brought

some drama to downing street and balmoral yesterday, this is a tornado near edinburgh. you can see the clouds swirling around, cumulonimbus cloud you need for thunderstorms to form, but the council said there were no injuries or damage caused by it. you could see thunderstorms again today with sunshine in between. some of us will be dry but showers will never be too far away. be dry but showers will never be too faraway. plenty be dry but showers will never be too far away. plenty of showers around the coast and in western areas, widely around northern ireland and this area of more persistent thundery rain pushing across the northeast and mainland scotland, pushing into caithness and sunderland, could cause some minor flooding. conditions will brighten up flooding. conditions will brighten up here. elsewhere plenty of sunshine around with a few mist and fog patches but the cloud will bubble up. the showers will develop

quite widely, coming and going through the day. frequent across parts of the south and west for a time pushed along by a strong breeze. slower moving showers across the central swathe of the uk, and that means more of you will stay drierfor that means more of you will stay drier for longer with some sunshine. and here we will see temperatures at the highest around 22 or 23 degrees. as we go into wednesday evening or overnight we will see more showers and storms in the south and west, gusty winds towards the south—west, further north that they will be a bit clearer, mist and fog patches around. temperatures could drop back into single figures for one or two but for many of us a milder start into thursday. the area of low pressure that has been with us is starting to move right across the uk and around the centre of that where the wind is full lighter, showers will become slow—moving. parts of wales and the midlands could have slow—moving thunderstorms but the showers keep going in the south and more persistent rain into the south. tomorrow will be a bit cooler.

the eurovision song contest is heading to the uk next year after organisers decided it could not be held in winning country ukraine due to the ongoing war. seven uk cities are shortlisted to stage the event — and breakfast is taking a look at what each place has to offer. this week our entertainment correspondent colin paterson visited newcastle. # you shook me all night long... newcastle and tyneside“s musical output has been wildly varied, from ac/dc singer brianjohnson... # let's get ready to rumble! ..to pj and duncan. from sting to gazza with lindisfarne. # fog on the tyne is all mine... while sam fender has just announced a stadium show next june at stjames“s park, home of his beloved newcastle united. the month before that gig, the city could host eurovision. so this is what gives newcastle its name. this is it? this is the new castle that was built to replace the old one that fell down. not so new any more. the team behind the city's bid are full of confidence.

we have the hotel space, we have the arena, we have the connectivity links. we are the perfect eurovision host city. the area's previous links to eurovision are not strong. prefab sprout“s paddy mcaloon once wrote a song released by frances ruffelle the year after she represented the uk. sadly, it missed the charts. but one former eurovision contestant does still live locally, working in a vet's in south shields. hello, rocky. david ducasse has made the move from scooch to pooch. everything all right? # flying the flag for you. would you like a complimentary drink with your meal, sir? in 2007, the uk“s entry scootch came 22nd out of 24. i think out of the four of us, i was the one who genuinely believed that we were going to win. so i was gutted. the others were just enjoying the champagne, whereas i was kind of doing

the maths thinking, "oh, no, it's getting further and further away." but as an experience, i think any eurovision entrant would just say, "we'll do it all over again." and if eurovision came to newcastle, would scooch get back together? 100%, we'd be there. literally, i would swap this t—shirt and go and get my cabin crew outfit out of the wardrobe. bring rocky with me. yeah, we might have a fifth member, but yeah, definitely. who wouldn't want to be involved? especially when it's on your doorstep. newcastle hosting eurovision would also mean a lot to ukrainians living in the area. alex was a newsreader in ukraine until she fled the country with her mother, sister and dog yizhak, which means hedgehog. she is now working here in a bar. i will be really happy if newcastle will invite eurovision because for me now, after months of living in this area, newcastle is like a part of ukraine, part of ukraine culture.

and i understand that it's like a second home for me and if it will invite eurovision, i would be really happy. this is about newcastle getting the bid for eurovision. and we all want that, don't we? of course we do. and hosting the event could have a huge impact on all aspects of the city. eurovision—themed silent disco walking tours are already being tried out. # we're flying the flag... i've been a eurovision fan since 2011. whoo! it's just absolutely my whole life. and it should be newcastle. i mean, have you just seen how friendly the people are? we're back in 1981 now with a bit of bucks fizz. # comes the time for making your mind up... i think it would be - a perfect place, basically, because it's like a party town. we just noticed! # ooh, ahh, just a little bit, ooh, ah, a little bit more! if we got eurovision it would just absolutely blow up.

everyone would just hit the roof with excitement. # waterloo, i was defeated, you won the war... is newcastle going to get it? let'sjust be really optimistic and say yes, we are. why—aye! in 2023, if it's eurovision time on the tyne, then there are going to be an awful lot of excited people. colin paterson, bbc news, newcastle. yeah! cheering. the enthusiasm for hosting your vision is really there! we're joined now by the singer—songwriter rosa linn, who represented armenia in this year's eurovision. good morning. you can see in the uk there are various cities competing to host next year, can you understand why everyone wants to be the host? ~ understand why everyone wants to be the host? . ., �* , understand why everyone wants to be the host? ., �*, , , the host? well, that's because i think that is — the host? well, that's because i think that is the _ the host? well, that's because i think that is the most _ the host? well, that's because i think that is the most magical i think that is the most magical experience, people can have. it's

hello, this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley, live in downing street. the headlines at 9am... new prime minister liz truss is holding herfirst cabinet meeting this morning, after a reshuffle of senior positions last night. ministers insist that the energy crisis is at the very top of her agenda. i think it is important that the tyres are kicked, as it were, to make sure that we have a robust energy proposal in order that it can be set out to help households and businesses and details on that will be coming this week. if liz truss announces that she's adopting labour's plans, we welcome and the country will welcome that, but we really haven't got the detail.
